I love your versions and thank you for your honesty re the fabric and pattern placements. I immediately saw two eyes 👀 but think you are so brave using bold patterns. In general. We have all been there, want to uncut out our patterns quickly and end up making a mistake. But they are there to learn from so an important part of our sewing journey. I love your playsuits so much. Very you! ❤
Tamlyn, all of your versions of the Zadie are lovely😊. I was thinking, if you’re really that unhappy with your
‘Final version’ you could make that one into a play suit also. It wouldn’t solve the ‘moon boob’ issue, but because the legs would be shorter, you wouldn’t be so conscience of the pattern placement on the legs. Again, I think the jumpsuit looks great but if the things you talked about bother you, you won’t wear it.
Tamlyn! You look absolutely stunning in your final Zadie! I know we're our own worst critics, but I hope it grows on you. The pattern placement doesn't bother me at all and I think the fabric looks absolutely stunning on you (I love dark colours on you!) 💜💜💜
I have to say that I didn't notice any of that until you pointed it out. I love all four of them. Thanks for sharing!
I love all 4 Zadies! I can’t believe no one has commented on your final Zadie, they must be blind!! I definely want to make some play suits after seeing your gorgeous versions 😊. Thank you for collaborating with me, it’s been such fun, we will have to do it again 😉❤️xx
Oh! You so perfectly described what seems to happen to all of us! I know we are our own harshest judge, and it is hard to let go of those thoughts.
I like someone's comment to cut it to the play suit length. I also think the baggy bum situation is inherent in jump suits so that there is room enough to bend over and sit. I think it is a delicate balance to achieve just the right amount of wiggle room without looking too baggy. I think you achieved a really nice fit!
Also, it seems like no matter how careful we are to try and think of everything, so often there is always something that we miss! Totally frustrating!
The thing I love about the online sewing community is that these things are mentioned so we don't get down on ourselves, thinking everyone else is perfect, and everyone is so good to focus on the positive in the end, sewist and viewers alike. Thank you for sharing so freely, and thanks to Sam for his behind-the-scenes contributions!
Just getting round to thinking about making the Zadie Tamlyn. All of your versions are gorgeous. I get what you mean about the fabric layout, but wouldn't have noticed if you hadn't said. I also get what you mean about having such an expensive fabric and wanting to get a great make from it and then when you do make it, you do something wrong when cutting! So annoying! Thanks for sharing the detail of your makes. 😻
Well I think it’s bloomin amazing!!! I can see your frustration but not sure I’d have even noticed if you hadn’t have said 🌙 ❤️
They're all beautiful! Would love to make a Zadie one day! With regard to the print, it could potentially be a fun project for a Cricut. With the right colour iron on vinyl and some creative cut outs to go with the print, you could potentially have a creative solution to print issues that are worrying you (although it looks great as is)!
I love a Zadie having made two. All of yours are great but I fully understand how you feel. We are a strange breed ... if we feel something is not quite right we will never feel totally comfortable.
Haya. All your Zadie's are beautiful 😍😍 for me your 4th is my favorite, I really like the design & I think you look amazing in it 🤩🤩 I have not made a Zadie yet. . . I know I know 😊 Always lovely to see what people collaborate on. Thanku 'sew' much for sharing. x
Love all of them. Never sewed a Zadie…in fact never worn a jump suit! Great vlog, helpful to see fit and pattern placement.
This was fun! I especially loved the cherry one. I loled at the moon boobs-they're not noticeable, and I almost cried at your pattern layout disappointment. I've done the same, and I'm sorry you didn't love the one you set out to love, that always stings when all the effort was put in.
Thanks for sharing!
All 4 versions are lovely but I particularly like the playsuit versions on you, they look really great. I've been thinking of making the Zadie for a while 🤔I should just go for it! All your comments on sizing are really helpful, thank you!
🇨🇦😃 I love your final version! I don’t notice the pattern placement problem 😃
I wouldn't notice the pattern placement on the last version. In my humble opinion, it's gorgeous. I'm not sure store bought clothing considers pattern placement. Perhaps, as sewists, we over-think our sewing makes?
The final Zadie looks really great and the pattern issues are not noticable to anyone but the maker. 🙂
Thank you so much ... what wonderful makes and a great time sewing you must have had. Really appreciate you sharing the experience with pattern adjustments for fit and for pattern placement. 👍
Thank you for your honesty with your Zadies. Love the playsuit versions. With your final version I understand your disappointment - like the idea of shortening it to a playsuit but if the moons are really the issue and you had enough material could you bear to resew a new front section? Great video.
Oh my gosh, the thought that no one has commented on your gorgeous final version of the Zadie shocks me. Any passers by must have been blind! I like all of your versions. 💗
Thanks for the tips in this blog I’ve decided I want to make this in a bold cloud 9 fabric that I’ve been resisting buying for a while so don’t want to make something up I don’t love so I definitely will consider what you’ve said and make a toile. Sorry you don’t love your final version- I honestly don’t think anyone else would notice but I know what you mean once somethings in your head- I hope you do wear it as it’s lovely as are all your versions 😊
I love all your versions but the last one is my favourite due to the boldness of the fabric x
Excellent review and so informative. Really appreciate your honesty about the final version although I agree with previous comment about making it into a playsuit. After experiencing a couple of fails lately it is reassuring to know that even accomplished sewers have disappointing outcomes. Thank you for a great review.
I’m sure happy that I watched your vlog! I have the Zadie pattern but have been hesitating because of the rise and sizing issue. Four CM is a lot to take out of the rise. I would have guessed at half that amount and would have been disappointed. All versions look great on you and I LOVE the fabric for the last version. I didn’t even notice “moon boobs”! Well done Tamlyn!
You've done a fab job. I think we often notice pattern placement issues in our makes that no-one else would see. You might find if you put it away for a bit the feelings you have about yourself in regard to it will settle ? Glad you are enjoying the other versions! I've made it twice but still not happy with the fit....Have gone back to the ready to sew jazz instead!
It is tricky when you have noticed something you aren't happy with as you can't then unsee it. However, I don't think the moon's are that obvious, not sure I would have noticed if you hadn't said about it.
I love your playsuit versions, all I can think about is summery clothing atm as it is still quite hot! I wonder if that might be in part why people haven't commented on your final version?
Lovely makes and I am now tempted to try a Zadie especially in a playsuit length.
OMG we are SO HARD on ourselves aren't we? After all that effort you put in to toiling. Don't be sad or mad with yourself, you rock and your Zadie rocks. 😿 The play suits are so cute on you, I think the cherries are my favorite version.
I like them all. The chambray one is the closest to *my* style but they all look great on you.
They all look lovely. My favorites are the 2 play suits. It's a really cute look and I love the fabric for both of those.
Do not mind the moon-boots.
I think all 4 versions are lovely and I am sure people will complement your final version when you are out in future.
I often want to compliment people but am shy too.
It's inspiring to see all the versions you've made. I've made two and a hacked dress version. I'm so sorry for the cutting issue because your were so excited about the fabric. You may not be looking for suggestions, but one idea is to do some color blocking -- maybe replace half of the front with another fabric--the way people are doing color blocking with gingham. Or, place a patch pocket over one of the moons. A little change might make a big difference. I hope the disappointment fades away and the joy expands!
Sewing is always an adventure because of all the variables. I just don't sew when I'm tired or if it's too dark (night).
Ahh I love it, don't be hard on yourself but it is hard when you don't feel fully comfortable in something you've made. I appreciated all the sizing tips, one day I might make one! My favourite was the cute floral playsuit one!
YAY for your Perseverance! You did great on ALL of them! I heard of a designer who made twelve muslins on a garment before he got it right. Keep sewing, this is the encouragement I needed today!😀😀
It’s so cute!! All four are super cute, but the final version is my favorite ❤
I appreciate you sharing your Zadie journey. I think a Zadie in the fabric behind you would be wonderful. Haven't made a Zadie but I too had a pattern placement disappointment recently. I know that disappointment. Taking a breath and moving on....its all a learning experience.
I think all the versions look really good. The playsuits are definitely the stars - they just seem to really suit you.
I don't think the 'moon boobs' in the final version are much of an issue as they are pretty well offset. I also don't think the leg patterning is an issue as it's not really noticeable when you are wearing the jumpsuit - I get that it might be more of an issue when on a hanger or flat. Do you think you might like this version more if you made it a playsuit? You could find ways to reuse the rest of the trouser fabric. I actually think it looks really nice, but if you are not happy you won't get the wear out of it and that would be a pity.
You did a fantastic job with your jumpsuit! Don’t beat yourself up.
Mummy complimented you on the final Zadie! It looks fantastic, I hope you make peace with it! I love your first toile and your first play suit. You’ve made this pattern your own💕
I love all of them. Have you considered a wee patch pocket over one of the moons in the front? Might feel less moon boogie for you. I’m about to make one but want the low crotch as I am self conscious about that area and don’t ever wear trousers because of it.
Tbh I love the last one; the fabric is such a funky, unusual print, it's a great match for the pattern. I definitely wouldn't notice the print placement, but I know it's completely different for the one who's made it; being so close to the process, you notice everything you'd do differently another time!
We’ve all been there haven’t we, do all the ground work then make a silly mistake we kick ourselves for 🙄
I love the two play suits, the fabric prints make them look so fun and stylish, not to mention cool! Perhaps like has been suggested, chop it to another playsuit 😁
You put so much effort and time into perfecting the fit! Well done. I sincerely like all of the versions and the playsuit is just so you!
I love your finished Zadies! I’d definitely have complimented it if I’d seen you in it, the fabric is so striking and hopefully as you wear it more you’ll get to be able to ignore the pattern placement. I’ve made two but they’re both a bit big so I definitely want to make another smaller one as it’s so comfy.
Thank you I have put of making until this video
Thanks for this review! I can’t wait to try it and I’ll take your recommendations. I love you’re versions. I’ve made similar cutting choices as you described it, it’s mostly in my head, but seriously the final one looks lovely too! Thanks for sharing honestly 🤗 you’re awesome!
Beautiful work! You can appliqué designs over the moon boobs and yellow moons. Even partially appliquéing bits like some over the top of one moon and the bottom of another, or any of the brighter matching leg motifs like the eyes, would at least take away some of the bother from your mind. great work though on all of your projects! I think you look great :) PS I did the same thing, with a large paisley knit, that had totally matching huge paisleys on each thigh ugh! ... the worst thing was that I made them for a friend and didn't even notice til she sent me a pic, ohhh it was painful!!
Thanks so much for your detailed review. The Zadie’s also been on my list for a while now. The moons really don’t strike me as a problem, but as always, no matter how much anyone else loves a make, if we’re bothered by something, it won’t matter.
I live the Zadie jumpsuit and yours are very nice. I had the same fitting issues as you do so I am glad to see what you did. I am going to give this a try. Thank you.❤
All your suits are lovely, you are your biggest critic, thank you for all the tips around sizing, I have the pattern, not made it yet though 😊
You are so hard on yourself! It is beautiful!
An interesting video, liking all of your versions. They inspire me to also have a take on it. BTW I would be glad these are two moons and not two suns :).Greetings from Leipzig.
I love the playsuit versions but that’s always my preference I dont like long anything apart from jeans x all versions are fab!
All your jumpsuits look absolutely fantastic. What a shame you are disappointed with your final version - it looks so lovely on you. What height are you Tamlyn ?
❤
I love your Sadie's, The short lenght is great, you look chic and it would be ideal when you got little folks... I kept getting distracted with what was on your model.. have you chatted about that yet?
I think version 4 looks cute but agree it would bother me too. If you chopped the legs off to playsuit length I think that would improve the placement on legs as the thigh section is less patterned. Would that give you a big enough off cut to recut one side of the bodice?
Hi Tamlyn, thanks for this review, I have made the Zadie, I struggled with what size to make. I decide a 10 but then did a12. It’s not wearable, the crotch is nearly to my knees. Don’t know why but will try doing another one making the rise adjustment as you suggested. I am not new to sewing but am to needing to make adjustments eg FBA etc, now my body shape has changed with age. The top,is also too big. How do you keep the wrap over from gaping.?? I found your review from Ruan, yesterday I spent about 5 hours in my sewing shed, making Xmas dresses for my friends granddaughters, so I watched CZcams vlogs and followed Ruan and Rachel. This was a lovely way to sew as they kept me company and the time just flew. I also love all your Zadie. I think my daughter would love one as well, so I really want to perfect it. I also will follow your suggestion to look at finished garment size measurements too. I made the PE please to meet you pants and they are also Hugh. Have you ever made them? Cheers from🇦🇺
You look lovely in all of them, but I really love the cherry playsuit. 😍
It looks great, but I get it! why does it always happen with your most expensive fabric and not the run of the mill fabric x
Perhaps the shoulder “fuzziness’ is handbag strap or seat belt induced? 🤷🏼♀️
I like the cherry 🍒 playsuit best, it's very cheerful and fun!
The last version is fabulous,in terms of fabrics and style . I think maybe u used a harsh detergent in the washing ,do u think that might be the reason
All of them are lovely, love the last one, we are our own worst critics x
Way too hard on yourself they all look amazing and I love the last one the fabric is nice and funky.
I love your versions! The Zadie is one of the most popular Instagram patterns but I have never yet seen one made without alterations! Is this because it was not well drafted in the first place? Just saying! I am just about to make one. I haven’t seen on the finished measurements of the rise on the pattern as that seems to be a problem!
Nobody needs to be perfect,good is goodenough. The jumpsuit ist lovely,. don‘t be so harsh on you.
Hi, thanks for sharing your thoughts on sizing down. I’ve had similar thoughts on the Zadie and wonder how you dealt with the crossover parts where the bodice and bottom half meet if different sizes. Did you just size down at the outer leg and rise and leave the crossover at the higher size which may ensure there’s still good coverage for the tummy crossover? Thanks
Great vlog as usual Tamlyn you have amazing patience to make so many versions. I made one in a viscose sateen and what can I say I must love a saggy crotch 😆 it's not too bad. All your versions are amazing and you look fab in them all I can't believe that no one has commented. I definitely want to make another Zadie it is sooo comfortable but I agree that the bias binding was the most difficult/tricky bit (having never made my own before) also the fabric I had used would NOT iron into the creases needed so I had to sort of fold and stich as I went. Don't worry about the pattern matching on your final version we are all our own worst critics!! x
Love them all I think your first chambray one is my fav x
Thanks for the vid I have made a toile. I have a question if you shorten the rise does it make it more difficult?? to get on and off? I made my toile from a quite stiff good quality cotton bed sheet and it looks like I’m going to paint the Tyne Bridge!! However I decided it would be fab in a viscose soft fabric which I need to buy yet. I used to live in the North East but now live in the Costa Blanca in Spain and there’s not a whole lot of choice of fabric shops!! But I’ll find some. I particularly liked the first playsuit on you, it was a nice fit. I think because you are a sewist you think the pattern placement of your Jumpsuit is not good but I doubt others would notice. Many bought outfits I find display this. Just wear it. I have found viscose takes on this woolly look when washed with other things almost like when you leave a tissue in a pocket, - ask me how I know? But they all looked lovely and I can’t wait to make my proper Zadie. Many thanks
Do you use your mannequin for fitting ?
Ah I’m gutted for you that you’re disappointed with your final zadie. It’s all a learning curve though isn’t it? X
I think you had a blind spot when you forgot the pattern placement. You’d spent so long thinking about the fit and this happens all the time.
I bought the Sew Different pattern which is more or less the same. I really want to try it but first need to trace the pattern, then make a toile. On my pattern it mentions a low crotch. I love your play suits but also love the chambray one, your first version. The expensive one is also lovely and some fabric, cheap or dear does wash badly. Do wear it because it’s lovely and nobody would ever notice the pattern placement. Maybe you’re being too critical of yourself. Be kind and go for it. 😊
I think your overanalyzing the print placement of your final Zadie.If the bananas had been flowers and if they'd been equal they would have looked odd but because they are bananas and their off set they don't look Bobby placement.Also because the design is similar on the front legs it looks more designer.Maybe because it looks so good on you people don't feel the need to comment.They most probably think it's bought and won't suit them so no need to comment.I love all your Zadie's on you and I think the first one is beautiful.
I'm sorry you are a bit disappointed with your final version. I didn't notice anything about the print placement until you pointed it out so I'd say it's definitely something you notice more than other people do.
