Watching this series now as I am finally getting to these fantastic patterns.
Wonderful! I hope the sew along is helpful!
oh my goodness ! praise the Lord, I ordered this patter for my daughter years ago. There were no instructions but I held on to it because I like the blouse so much. I did not realize that I can go on line for instructions. God bless you.
Oh good! I'm so glad that was helpful!
Thank you! I love both Teddy patterns.
Thank you!
Hi Whitney! Thank you sooo much for all your sew along.
You are amazing at explaining the construction of these patterns.
I know you have to branch out to different pattern brands (for the sake of your channel) but because I already have a huge collection of the big 4 patterns, I tend to only look for your big 4 sew along because I have such difficulty understanding their pattern instructions.
You have such an amazing way of simplifying the big 4 instructions and I thank you for that.
I wish I knew about the independent patterns before my big 4 collection as I hear the instructions “hold your hand” through the entire sewing process.
Oh, well. I’ll just have to rely on your big 4 sew along.
I’m so glad you enjoy the sew alongs! There will definitely be more Big 4 sew alongs in the future!
Thank you, Whitney!!
Love the look on your daughter!!
Thank you! She really likes it, so that makes it a good one!
No doubt! 😊
I like the appearance of the Teddy. Looks very nice. I can imagine lots of fabric options: lightweight Linen and heavier up to 8 ounce Denim, and even sweatshirt Fleece. 'Long neck' perfect or 'short neck' alteration (Hahaha, like I would need!) the Teddy will look so sharp over a turtleneck during the colder weeks during late Fall and Winter. "I am looking for my fuzzy slipper right now!" ~ L
I'd love to see it in a sweatshirt knit...and love the turtleneck layering idea
I love these ideas as well!
Yay!! The pattern and some fabric have been sitting in a project box for months, now I've got no excuse not to start it! Love your channel.
Oh good!
Style Arc patterns are Australia measurements. It was odd to me as well when sewing Style Arc patterns. Glad to be part of this sew along with you. Thanks for all of your information on your videos. Frixion markers are the very best!
I'm so glad you're enjoying it!
One of my favorite patterns that has been in my stash. Time to sew it up. Looks fabulous on your daughter!
She really likes it! The neckline is fantastic!
I have had this pattern for years…thank you, I will get it out and sew one up.
Oh good!
Looks very comfy. Never thought of making cut into centers. So much easier than marking with frixion then ironing it off by mistake. Thank you for video. Take care.
My pleasure!
What a versatile shirt! I'm thinking it would be great for 'pears' like me as well as maternity! It looks so cute on Ava!
It would be adorable on pears!
Looking forward to watching the sew along. Right now I’m trying to get my pants sewn and cut up a couple of simple tops to sew while I’m down in Florida. I can’t believe we just have a little over a month before we leave. I would love to sew this in the tunic.
This would be great as a tunic for Florida!
Style Arc has a detailed video making this with all the facings and interfacing coming together but it looks so very very bulky where they meet on that neck/shoulder. Maybe your P&P interfacing works better?
Fabric will definitely play into how bulky that area becomes, but I didn't find any issues with excessive bulk, except maybe a bit at center front. However, trimming things down in that area helped tremendously.
Sew along! :) So excited.
Oh good!
I’ve loved the look of this pattern but I buy very few patterns that are just short sleeved as I I live where we can have frost ten months of the year. If you can think of a way to make it long sleeved I might go for it. Obviously, one could simply extend the pattern as given but I’m not sure the silhouette would look right. You have an artist in your family!
If you're feeling adventurous, you could definitely draft a sleeve to attach to the current sleeve to create a long sleeve (similar to the expansion pattern of the Kalle Shirtdress by Closet Core). I also think this would be adorable layered over a turtleneck!
I would love to make this long sleeved for fall!
I think you would need to draft a sleeve to attach to the current one, but it can definitely be done (it would be like the expansion pattern for the Kalle Shirtdress by Closet Core Patterns).
Excited for this!
Oh good!
Ok so now I need this pattern 😂. I have found that with most style arc patterns there is a lot of ease , and I usually need to size down at least 2 sizes also. And usually that isn’t the case in most pattern lines. So maybe that is an across the board thing. Thank you for sharing today and the video. I always enjoy them! 💜
It very well could be. I sized down on this one for her and, as you can see, she has plenty of room!
@@TomKatStitchery But it still looks fantastic! And I’m sure she loves it !
If I don't have a project in mind, I make a point to use the Joann's 50% off coupons to get the Guterman box thread assortment -that way if I get an impulse, I have a good enough match...Case in point, I stopped in to get elastic at my local store and saw a beautiful drapey wool (brownish) and a plump fawn colored knit and had to have it. and use it. Now. But since I don't sew with brown very often (my high school uniform was brown so ...) I didn't have brown thread in my regular thread stash...But I did have those thread assortments...BTW: pattern is Simplicity 8959-Kind of a history bounding vibe skirt and winter weather required turtleneck.....
Isn’t that great when you have the supplies on hand when you need them and are feeling inspired?
Whitney I appreciate your sew alongs and the time you take to make everything so clear. My questions with style arc patterns are which lines do I cut on when cutting out the paper pattern pieces? Do I cut the broken lines or the solid lines? I am so confused. Thanks
The solid lines are the cutting lines and the dashed lines are the sewing lines. They put both on so you can be sure of the seam allowance as they often use multiple seam allowances throughout a garment.
@@TomKatStitchery thanks so much
Thank you for this. Look forward to the next instalments. I am really crossing my fingers that you still have the Ziggi jacket in your sewalong plans
The Ziggi is still in my plans! I probably won’t get to it until the winter, but it’s on the list!
Do you do sew along fir the teddy pants?
I don't. I haven't made those, but they do look cute!
😃
❤️❤️❤️
I have been sewing forever, one thing I always have trouble with is keeping straight right and wrong side if fabric is identical on both sides. Marks end up getting ironed or cut off. This is so frustrating. How do you identify them? Love this blouse, good transition piece.
You can put a piece of tape on one of the sides on all pieces.
I put a safety pin on the right side. I tried a regular sewing pin and found that they fell off the fabric.
I know a lot of people use tape or safety pins that won’t wear off!
Hey Whitney, what brand is your marking pens?
She said frixion in the video. They can be purchased on Amazon or most office suppliers.
Frixion makes both a ball point and a felt tip marking pen. I’ve used both, but prefer the felt tip. They are removed by heat!
@@TomKatStitchery thank you
Nope, they give you size 10 measurements when you buy the largest sizes too
That’s so odd!
Please monitor your recording volume levels as you switch from introduction to actual sew along. Also, when you make parenthetical comments, you speak softer than your teaching voice, so it's hard to know what your comment was. It sounds mumbled. If you would address these, it would make a helpful difference. Thank you.
Oh I had no problem hearing either. But I have found sometimes on CZcams your devices volume doesn’t match up with CZcams volume, or it changes during the video. And when I find a video I do have a struggle hearing for whatever reason , using headphones is very helpful in my hearing it !
I can hear the volume fine. All I have to do is adjust the volume on my tablet, just takes a second.
@@lindanorman2346 Whitney wants a professional level product, thus my feedback toward that end. Your ability to adjust your volume does not play into her presented finished vlog product.
Helen, thank you so much for the feedback. I really do appreciate it so that I can continue to improve the videos (especially the tutorials and sew alongs). The difference between filming on my camera and my phone is noticeable and I actually ordered a microphone for the phone so fingers crossed it helps going forward. Unfortunately, it wasn’t here in time for this sew along, but hopefully, you’ll notice a difference going forward! Thank you!
Do you have a sew along for a wool coat???
I do! I did B6385 last winter and all the videos can be found in this playlist: czcams.com/play/PLBjkGIpQpS07qMlbobmNwev5aD6gMNuV_.html
Thank you so much!
