    @caseypie Před 16 dny +1

    I think that’s a great tip that you shared from your mom regarding not having to amass a collection of patterns but rather hack them. It can be very tempting to buy all of the things. As a new desist, it’s sometimes hard to identify the differences or similarities between patterns and know whether or not you can make do with what you have. Possible video idea?
    I recently watched a video you did with the McCalls 8181. I’m going to use that pattern to try and make a top very similar to the one you just made in this video.

    Hello! I'm so impressed by your ability to just whip up garments like this! I absolutely love the top! I really like RiflePaperCo as well. But I find the 44-45" width they use makes the fabric a bit more pricey for garment sewing because you have to get more. But maybe I'm due for a treat?! Thank you!

    Both items look gorgeous. I was wondering how you attached the lining with the straps already sewn on. It seems like they would get caught. Maybe not ? I can’t work it out , poor sewing brain fog xx

    • @LaurenJohnson
      @LaurenJohnson  Před 12 dny

      Thank you so much! I placed the straps face down on the top, and basted them in place first, then then I stitched across the top with the lining in place, they are caught in that seam. Think of this pattern as a strapless top, so the straps are caught in the seam of the lining and outside. I hope this makes sense!

    The skirt is great, and the top is fantastic! A tip is to reverse the zipper next time. That way the top will open at the crotch point and it will be easier to wear!Also, you cut this design of fabric very well!I really like the music you put in your videos! How could I find it?
