Detailed Sewing Tutorial For A Beginner : Simple Linen Top, Bias Binding Neckline【Free Pattern】
Vložit
- čas přidán 4. 08. 2024
- How to sew a simple linen top for a beginner sewist. I designed a simple top with no zipper, no buttons, no set-in sleeves and no collar. The neckline opening is modest but just big enough to put your head through without any opening (my head is about 22.5” circumference)
I tweaked the pattern a little since I filmed the video, so the actual pattern will look slightly different, but the finished project should be the same as you see in the video. Also, after tweaking the pattern, pattern page 15 & 16 became empty pages, so skip these two pages when printing if you want to save some paper.
The pattern can be downloaded for free here: www.madebysachi.com/2021/09/2...
The pattern comes only in one size, which is designed for 34”-36” bust, but it can be worn by a smaller person as a loose-fit garment.
I’m thinking about future videos on pattern grading (changing the sizes of patterns), so if you are interested, please leave a comment :) → here is the video! • How to Make Sewing Pat...

This is one of the best tutorials I have seen. Thank you. So many useful tips in it.
This was one of the best instructional videos I’ve ever seen. You not only are clear and concise but you also explain any pitfalls we might run into and how to avoid them. New subscriber.
Glad you liked the video! Thanks for subbing❣️🌷☺️
Finally! Someone who shows, in detail, how to do everything. Thank you! I just printed out the pattern and it was so easy to put together, using the window method. Figures, if someone who’s teaching, a video is very thorough and precise then the pattern will be the same way. Love it so far!
I’m so happy to hear that❤️ I’m not that good at computer drafting ( or tech in general) but I’m glad I was able to put together a simple pattern as pdf to share❣️😆
folding the corners of the pattern is literally genius haha thank you for that tip!!
glad you found it useful! ❤️
💝✂️ I discovered a way to sew faster and easier even as a beginner, I talk more about it in my channel, I hope it helps those who need it. ❤️🌺🌹
I had such a giggle when you got to the point on the bias binding and it was the wrong way around! I hate it when that happens and it is comforting to know that i am not the only one!
haha 😆 it happens A LOT to me too, especially when I’m rushing…
You are an excellent teacher. Thank you so much for this video.
Thank you so much for your kind comment ❣️☺️
Love that you use linen. The BEST fabric. So light and airy.
Love this classy top
Thank you so much! linen is so good❣️☺️
In cleaning out my closet, I ran across a pair of pants I had completely forgotten about! They went to the back of the closet because they needed “the perfect” blouse…and here it is! Just a quick trip to the fabric store and they won’t end up in the back of the closet again!
Love the closet discoveries! I would love to see your new outfit ❤️
You have a beautiful teaching style and you do beautiful work!! Thanks for this video!!

That was a brilliant fix on the Bias tape at the neckline. You are great. Anxious to make this top. Thank you for the pattern. Very enjoyable video tutorial.
Thank you so much for your lovely comment ! 😊
Great video! Very easy to understand your explanation. Also liked that you left in your mistake and showed how you repaired it. I probably would have un picked the entire bias edge. I'm going g to try making. Love the simple comfy look. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it! I’ve been sewing for long but still make plenty of mistakes… happy to know my mistake made the video a little more interesting lol 😆
This was absolutely fantastic. Off to the fabric store now.
Thank you so much! Have fun❤️
Best video ever. Looking forward to watching more. 🎉

@@SachisStudio thank you ☺️
A very, very good tutorial! Thank you so much!
Glad you enjoyed it! 😊💕
You are a master! Excellent video.😀
Thank you so much ☺️❣️
It's so good and helpful to see how to sew things properly when there's so much "just get it done as fast as possible" around! I learned a lot from my Mum but not how to apply bias binding, so this video was valuable just for that; but you also give tips and tricks, like stretching both layers a little on straight seams, that an inexperienced maker like me may not know or may have forgotten. Thank you so much.
I have subscribed and will look at more of your videos, and use them as a resource in future projects. Blessings! From Katherine in Kent, UK
Thank you so much for your kind comment, Katherine! Comments like this really make my day❤️ Making CZcams videos is definitely a balancing act between keeping viewers interested (=fast pace) and still covering useful information. I learn so much from other people’s videos and comment sections, and I hope to contribute a little to this wonderful online sewing community with my videos. Thank you so much for subscribing and welcome to my channel ! 😊
That you so much for the tutorial and free pattern. I appreciate it very much.
thanks for watching❣️☺️
wonderful video, very helpful and informative. thank you
You're very welcome! glad you liked it ❣️

I just worked all day with a pattern similar but my neckline turned out wavy… the instructions had you fold the bias in half and sew both edges to the neckline, understitch, then fold inside and topstitch. The neckline is puckered after pressing. I’m sad.
Your video was amazing! I paid 27$ for a similar pattern yesterday! I wish I would have found you sooner! I’m subscribing!!!
That method usually works well but bias binding could be tricky… how much you stretch the bias tape beforehand affects the result and it changes depending on the specific fabric you’re using! I hope your next project is successful ❣️🌷
thank you for this pattern. .... love it...
I'm glad you like it❣️
Thank you so much! I have some thrifted fabric to try out this pattern on!
You are so welcome! have fun ❣️😆
Thank you, I really learned some new things.
Glad to hear it! Thank you for leaving a comment!
Thank you so much! Subscribed, pattern printed! Just what I was looking for ;-)
Awesome! Thank you for subscribing ❤️
Can’t wait to try this.
good luck with your project❤️

Great video fir a great basic blouse that can be used for very different styles. I'll check out the other videos on your channel ❤
thanks for watching❣️🌷☺️
I just finished my first try with this linen top using your tutorial and it turned out so well! I might even wear it in public! Thank you so much - I'm here for all of your tutorials!
I’m so glad to know your project turned out so well!! And thank you so much for your support ❤️
Thank you for the tutorial. Sadly my bust is much bigger so I'll look for simple pattern. But I really needed the order of which to sew. Great video
I’m sorry my pattern is only in one size-I was thinking about a video on changing sizes (grading), but was not sure if anyone was interested…
but hopefully some aspects of the video was useful to you! :)
Super helpful!! Thank you ❤
Glad it was helpful! Thank you for watching❣️☺️
Thanks for the video! Very cool! Very cool!
Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching my videos❣️🌷
Succinct and wonderful. Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for your comment ❤️
Very helpful🎉
Thanks a lot, so useful!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you! Making asap!
Hope you enjoy😊
Thank you so much ❤️
thanks for watching ❣️☺️
Sachi the blouse turned out nicely🤗. Sorry i do not have instagram to show you.I plan on making a few of this top in different lengths and fabric. I am proud of myself to be honest.This pattern will be the base of future projects now. Thank you so much!
I’m so happy to hear that your project turned out to be a success! Thank you so much for letting me know, you made my day❤️😊
I made this shirt using a sheet. I wasn’t sure if I was going to have to add to bust so made mock up. All the pdf patterns I’ve tried are so tight in bust area I get discouraged. This is absolutely stunning and fits perfect. I wish I could add pic to this comment but can’t figure it out. I now have the confidence to cut a piece of linen I’ve been saving since I started sewing a few months ago. Thank you so much for the free pattern and adjustments tutorial as well. It all makes sense now !!
It makes me so happy to hear that your mock-up came out great ! I also have to make bust adjustments to almost all patterns I purchase, so I made this shirt pretty roomy around the bust area ;) If you ever decide to share your make on social media, please tag me @sachidonguri . I’d love to see it ❤️
@@SachisStudio do you have a woven tank top free size pattern like this ?
Not yet! ;)
You are the best ma'am...
than you so much for your kind word!

You're so welcome☺️
Awesome Pattern, thank you so much. I just finished my top. I'd love to post a pic.
I’d love to see it🥰🌷 please tag me @sachidonguri on instagram or send me a photo or link❣️
Muchas gracias por compartir los patrones. Buen vídeo, entendí en otro idioma 😉
You’re welcome! I’m glad to hear it was understandable! Thank you for leaving a comment 🥰
Very nice.
Thank you 😊
A video on grading would be amazing! My bust is also too big for this pattern, but it’s beautiful! Thanks for a great video!
Thank you so much for responding to my question and leaving a comment 🥰
The video on how to change the pattern sizes is up on my channel ❤
@@SachisStudio Thanks! And beautiful Chanel!
Exceptional.
Thank you!
🎉love it
☺️💕
Love it, appreciate it, new friend here
Hi friend❣️ Thanks for watching☺️
Please do a video showing how to enlarge the pattern. I am a plus size and I love the concept of this blouse. Thank you
please check this video out❣️ czcams.com/video/kxf4o8seRyI/video.html
Excelente
thank you❣️
You are so kind. Give us some tips plus pattern . Thanksss
I’m happy if you find it helpful! :)
I love this kind of top, buti definitely need bigger bust! Please provide how to do so! Thanks
please check out my video about pattern grading (changing the sizes) here: czcams.com/video/kxf4o8seRyI/video.html
Nice
Thanks!
I would love it if you would teach a video on how to design my own patterns in affinity designer. You’re the only one I trust, since your print out was so great. I would also love to know how to turn this pattern into a V-neck. Thank you!
Thank you so much for great suggestions! I wasn’t familiar with affinity designer, I will have to play around with it (already downloaded)❣️ I made this pattern using Graphic app on iPad Pro. but I the app has been crashing a lot lately and no updates in App Store. I hope affinity will be a good replacement☺️
@@SachisStudio oh, I’m so excited! I’m sure you’re going to love it.
very informative and makes me want to start sewing again. please help me with the settings on your singer serger or overlocker as we call it here in South Africa.
best wishes ...thank you for sharing 😃
Thank you so much for your comment! A video on how to use a serger sounds like an interesting idea :)
I love your easy tutorial. I am amazed however at how quiet your sewing machine is. My Kenmore sewing machine sounds like I'm at the firing range. It works but it's loud. LOL
Thank you! My singer makes more noise than the video shows, I just turn down the volume of the video clip so it’s not so annoying to viewers! But oiling and greasing the machine did help, too!
Love this top thankyou , could you show how to adjust to 40 inch bust 😍 would be greatly appreciated.
I will try! thank you for the video suggestion!
The video on chaging the size of this pattern is up on my channel ❤
💝✂️ I discovered a way to sew faster and easier even as a beginner, I talk more about it in my channel, I hope it helps those who need it.
Great video. Would you say linen is an easy material to work with. And how was the fit after a wash?
Thank you! I’d say linen is fairly easy to work with, but cotton would be easier. I always pre-wash fabric before cutting so the finished garment doesn’t shrink :)
I like this pattern and your tutorial. I know that you mentioned that this is one size and that you might increase that in the future, do you have a chart or dimensions so I can determine if this will fit me before I sew it and did you make another pattern to increase the size? Thank you.
I have a video on how to change the pattern size here : czcams.com/video/kxf4o8seRyI/video.html ☺️
I’m curious if I can cut my linen fabric with the selvage edges on the side of my fold instead? Will it make a difference in the look and fit of the top?
I’m not sure exactly what you mean, but if you change the direction of the pattern on fabric, the drape would change slightly, but not so much with linen fabric (unless you change it to diagonal cut). I would hold up your fabric in different direction in front of a mirror to check the drape❣️😊
Hey, sorry my English is not so good. Your tutorial is super. Where can I buy the hem measurement which one you use ?
lovely wishes.
Kati from Germany
Thank you, Kati ! Do you mean my sewing gauge? Mine is called “sewing gauge with sliding marker” from Dritz ☺️
Thank you for this nice tutorial but video with size LG measurement would be nicedo you have one?I will. Subscribed to your channel, will be looking out for a new video
Thanks so much for the sub! right now I don’t have anything particularly in large size, although many of my tutorials are adjustable to your own size :)
Cool tutorial. Pls use longer scissors. To make longer cuts pls
My floral pair has emotional value to me since my mentor in college gave it to me :) but I was always curious about those long tailor’s shears! I’m a bit worried that they might be too heavy to maneuver… Which length do you recommend??
this is such a great tutorial! thank you! :)
The link to the pattern isnt working for me. could you please help?

@@SachisStudio This worked! thank you so much
Sachi's Studio the Edited version of the Simple linen top does not allow me too print out 18 pages...only 1 page...it is labeled Pattern Layout called edited 2.pdf Adobe Acrobat Document 14.2 KB on your website...can you by any chance correct that so I can print it out properly? The previous version has more KB and allows me to print it out but I would love to print out the new edited version. Awesome video thank you so much, I really appreciate you!.
I’m sorry, they are leveled weird so it’s confusing!
The first download is the already edited pattern, and the second one is just pattern layout (1page) only! I will change the download page so it’s not confusing… thanks for letting me know!
What size is the finish top ? Looks great
thank you! the finished garment measures 47 inches (119.5cm) at the bust :)
This pattern is for Small and Medium size right love this pattern
yes, it is loose fit on 36” bust, but you can add up to about 8” or subtract up to 4 -6” by using the method explained in my other video (link in the description box) ☺️
