If a print, no buttonholes. I agree with you that a solid has to have all the same. Your top is sew pretty.
When I saw the top I was not interested, but watching your video I really like the pattern. You did a lovely job. Thanks
Thinking a little more… If I was sewing a solid color, I’d either sew all the buttonholes, or none. That’s because it would be more visible. Since this print disguises this, the sole buttonhole at the bottom does not really make a visual difference 😀😀
I agree, on a solid fabric the stitching would show and I would do all the buttonholes. On the print however, I would go the same route as you did, and only put them on the buttons I actually wanted to unbutton. I was also thinking in a nice tee-shirting, snaps might be cute. I love the version you made. I was also thinking of a curved hem. I have a T-shirt with a forward slanting “side” seam that has a curved hem. The result is a very flattering body line,.
I’m with you with the button holes do them where necessary.
Would keep it simple and if not functional I would not put in buttonholes. I agree with you
Hi Karina - love the Lincoln top. I was born in Lincoln UK and have Mr Lincoln roses in my garden so this top was a “must” for me. Loved your version - not sure yet about the buttonholes. I will just see how the mood takes me when I make my first one! Thanks again for another great garment.
I love your choice of fabric. The top looks great on you. If buttonholes are not functional, I would leave the off as well. When I make the Lincoln, I probably won’t make the buttonholes either except at the bottom.
So pleased you have done this. I have bought the pattern using your affiliate code and will be studying your video in depth before I go any further! I trust you implicitly and believe you have helped me to take my sewing to the next level.
Looks great! Nice fit and the side seams look special.
Thank you so much 😀😀
Love your top! Looks so good on you!😊❤👍
Hi Karina! You sold me on the Lincoln top pattern and giving it a try. Looking forward to it. This tutorial was wonderful and very clear. I love that you show some of the trickier spots and how you handle them. I will do the buttonholes, in this case. I’m like you on buttonholes and whether I feel like doing them. And no judgement here on you doing the buttonholes or not. It’s about being comfortable and happy😀💝
Hi Karina ... I love your reviews! This is just like a top I have and love , so I will definitely be giving it a go. I haven't read all 84 comments, but I have an idea about your under arm comment where you want to catch down the side extentsions. Could you maybe just make the whole side seam the same size and not interface the last inch or so. That way you can just press it open and it would be enclosed in the armhole binding. I hope that doesn't sound too confusing - maybe someone else has suggested that too LOL x
if the buttonholes are not necessary to get into the garment, then I'm not sewing them. I don't mind making them if they're going to serve a purpose. I like your idea though. one or two buttonholes. I'm definitely going to buy that pattern. i need more shirts. thanks for showing!
I’m looking forward to making this one up. It looks a little smarter than a basic top but is just as comfy.
This is very pretty on you. Now I wish I had taken advantage of the $5 sale last Fri!!
I like a top longer than this, not sure i am sold on the pattern yet. Of course, yours is great on you!
Super clear demonstration, thanks!
Really pretty! I cant wait to make mine. I have a teal jersey with really interesting buttons.
Another excellent pattern walk through , it looks a lovely make.
I agree about the buttonholes... with the modern machines buttonholes should be a none issue... if I'm not going to un-button n the holes are not a feature (example in different color) why chance something getting fluffed up... same as a zipper... if you pull it on why put the zipper in ??? This top buttons n angled shaping are the stars... love your fabric... black n white are timeless... I just now finished another pattern but in black n white too... great video Thank you... blessings
Looking beautiful on you Katrina.I am thinking i might try this pattern,you have inspired me.xx
Thanks Katrina. I was a little hesitant on this pattern because of the short length so came over to see what you had done. I loved that you added the extra 1.5" sew now I'm sold. Thank you, you always inspire. Good thoughts on buttonholes, I'm not adverse but if they are not needed for fit them why do them!
Very cute Lincoln top! Love your video, I'm making this top and was having an issue with the side seam and your video answered my question. I don't mind buttonholes but if I can avoid them that's ok!. Thank you for your video.
I’m glad this was helpful 😀😀
Wonderful make and great tips. Just say no to extra buttonholes but this top could be great for young moms who are breast feeding. I would love a hack to make this top in a woven, I am dreaming of linen. Thanks for a great presentation.
I think you are absolutely right about the buttonholes. With your fabric, and knowing how you will wear the top, doing all of the buttonholes is not practical. I also agree that doing all or none for a plain fabric would be best practice. Lovely top!
Thank you Karina for sharing your Lincoln. When I saw this pattern released, I immediately came to your channel to see what you did! And yours is beautiful! We are coming into spring here in the Northwest US and so sleeveless is definitely on my mind for a quick make, less fabric and more style. Buttons and buttonholes: For me, it would be a matter of having the right amount of matching/size buttons to do it. I love the style and I think if I didn't have the right buttons, I would still make it. But the buttons do dress it up a little more. I think, like you, I would add 1 button hole at the bottom just for an option. I like having options! Thanks again for sharing your work. Because of this, I have, and always will use your affiliate link 🥰
Hi Karina, thank you for sharing your video. I love sewing button holes, easy peesy on step 😊 I finished my top sewing along with you and also got to try out my new coverstitch machine. Only thing I did wrong was under the arm, I added a sleeve, and now there is pleat after I overlapped the button stand, I think it's hot yo do with the seem allowance in that area. I'll definately improve on this step on the next one that I'll be sewing.
A yard of fabric! That’s awesome. It turned out great and looks great on you ❤️
Nicely done. You've said your skin is sensitive. I wonder if the top button irritates your bicep skin.
You managed to get a rather dressy look with fabric choice. I love it! As ever, you are the best at fitting on the entire internet. I’m always so impressed. Regarding buttonholes, I have no trouble putting them in but like you, I’m practical. If I make this pattern, I won’t do buttonholes. Without them, the garment has slightly better structure.
Super cute! Can’t wait to try this pattern. I’m like you on buttonholes! I don’t mind buttonholes at all but don’t make them unless they are needed. I’m buying with your code.
Thank you so much 😀😀. I think it’s freeing to be less rigid about things like this :)
I would only sew buttonholes when they are needed, not just because the garment has buttons or the pattern instructs sewing buttonholes. Having the option of 1 or 2 buttonholes to open that lower area is worth doing. Thank you for another informative instructional video. So happy to see your "studio" room is working out for you.
You asked for opinions do the button holes or not. Probably depends if I am I the mood. Your's looks great!
VERY CUTE! I agree with you 💯% on the button holes. I thought the back was longer than the front it didn't look that way on your finished top.🤔
Mine is the same front and back. There is another option in the pattern that has the front shorter than the back.
My machine makes sewing button holes almost as easy as sewing a straight seam, so I'll make them whenever they're going to makes the garment work best for me. As you said, in this case the busy print makes them "extra," but I agree that in a solid, I would make all the button holes regardless of whether I intended to ever use them. The top looks good in your lightweight ponte and it looks great on you!
I love your videos. You are so great at demonstrating how to sew!
That top came out lovely. I like that wrap around effect on you.
I’m the same as you. If the garment needs button holes, i do them. Its not as if they’re hard with an automatic buttonhole foot. Occasionally i do buttonholes with a contrast thread to achieve a particular look. Sometimes i sew the buttonholes but don’t slice them open, just sew the buttons through all layers, if i want the look of having them but don’t need to open the placket. Then other times they aren’t the slightest bit necessary so i omit them. Each case is individually assessed ☺️
Another beautiful make. The fabric choice is very nice. Thanks for your “up close and sew personal” tips 😊.
Looks forward to seeing what you make next.
I'm with you on the buttonhole question. There is no sense in making more work if non is needed. I do like that you made the last one a working button/ button hole.
That looks really beautiful on you and the skirt length is absolutely perfect with it. Once again, really well done and I hope to see it later on in the year with sleeves.
Karina, I love your version of this Lincoln! 💗 I’m definitely a rebel, although I get a lot of satisfaction from sewing button holes. I like that you combined having them at the bottom. Great look!
I also love them when they are needed but am also happy to not do them 😀
thanks for showing this, I too might have passed as it is not my typical style. As for buttonholes, If any of the them are to be functional, I would Stitch All of them, but only CUT the ones that need to be functional. I would stitch the buttons through all layers and the nonfunctional buttonhole. I just like the visual. if All buttons are nonfunctional, I just sew the buttons on.
I would do that if I had a solid fabric. In this case, the print pretty much disguised it all 😀
I agree with you about the buttonholes. Thanks for more inspiration 🥰
If the buttonholes aren't needed I will skip them. Nice fit on you top. Thank you. (thank you for the discount code too)
Looks great. I would never have attempted that style but after seeing your version I just may. I personally don't enjoy button holes (always something goes wrong), however I like your option.
I had a really long think and thought, why not. I’m glad I tried it 😀😀
Thank you for showing us the message that you used for sewing the top. That looks gorgeous on you. And I believe that you picked the right fabric for your short sleeves design. When I mix my top I will reset it and not make buttonholes except for the last button hole like you did. That will give me a little extra room around my hips when I might eat something and my stomach gets a little upset. LOL I love watching your videos as I have learned so much from you take care God bless and be safe.
I love yours. I will just sew my buttons on instead of using the buttonholes. I just purchased the pattern with your code. As I have said before, you are the reason I failed miserably on my pattern buying ban. My fabric addiction I can’t blame on you.
No I would not with a patterned fabric. Solid fabric it would make a design feature with some special buttons
I would omit the buttonholes too 😁. Your makes always look so good. The results of a lot of other testers put me off a pattern but not you 😍
Great video Karina! Your top turned out so cute and looks amazing on you. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and skill!
I don't mind doing the button holes, but I'm a little cheater (lol), if I can get away without that's the option I'm taking. Enjoy your new top!! It looks great.
Hmm I like this one. I think I’ll extend it to tunic length and I don’t mind doing buttonholes. My machine lets you do them in embroidery mode so no hassle for the ‘driver’ lol.
If you want to extend it to tunic length, you’d need to size up enough so it fits the full hip. This is why I lengthened it conservatively.
Very flattering top! I really like how your top turned out. I would opt out of most of the buttonholes (other than just at the bottom, to allow the top to open there for greater mobility). Buttonholes take quite a bit more time, since you also have the buttons to sew on. If they are not needed for a "functional purpose," like you, I would vote for the simpler process of sewing the buttons on through the placket (especially with a print, as you mention).
That top looks very nice on you. Love Notions is one of my favorite pattern companies. Nice job, and thank you for the video.
I think I would add a bit of binding to that little raw edge at the top of the placket before doing the construction. BTW - I bought the pattern. 😁
Your top is just lovely, really suits you
You make everything look so easy! Been enjoying your videos for several years now ! Always try and use your link! Thanks so much ❤️
I’m glad you like them 😀😀
Thanks for showing is your version. When I saw this release I really was on the fence about the style and if it would be too boxy. But the fit you achieved looks great. Thanks again!
Love the style, the variety of fabrics makes this an all seasons top. I’m a button holes for function but if just decoration then sewing through does the job for me! Just bought the pattern using your link and code, thank Karina 🥰
Now I better finish watching the video.
I hope you enjoy sewing yours 😀
I think if I did do the buttonholes it would only be on the bottom 1 or 2 buttons.
I love what you made! I would not have button holes since they are not functional. I might have the bottom button have a hole just to show off the feature.
Great video! Buttonholes, not my favorite! Loved the fabric! Thank you, I’m getting this pattern for sure!
Thank you for this beautiful video and review. I too really like your top. (I also enjoy hearing your birds and seeing your out of doors but I do understand the stress of doing everythin that way). I have some athletic fabric picked out to try this but as usual I was thinking of one that might be problematic. Do you think this one would work with a sweater knit? Or would the recovery be the issue? And thank you for reminding me about your code. Love watching your channel and my sewing shows it! Thanks
I think a sweater knit is ok as long as it’s got spandex or Lycra in the blend. If it’s only mechanical stretch, it’ll deform easily.
Beautiful and a little unique. Just what I’m looking for for summer. !! I’m sure I have fabric already too.
Love how this turned out for you. Such pretty fabric! I don't mind button holes, but if I made this pattern I would only do maybe the bottom 2.
I agree completely about the button holes. Why make them if it isn't necessary? I have had tops that did have all of the button holes made and usable, but I haven't used them to get the top on or off, so to me, it's a waste of time and effort. Really like the top on you. I liked the pattern on the fabric too. Very slimming on you. I'm surprised to see a ponte knit that was thin enough to make a top like this. Ours is really thick and full of body so I don't think that would work for this pattern for me. I think it would come out looking like a maternity top using the thick ponte. Congrats and thanks for sharing.
A lovely top. I don't mind doing buttonholes but I find my machine can be temperamental at times. All of a sudden it decides to shorten the buttonhole for no reason. I have to unpick it and its very frustrating when this happens on a shirt at the front.
Karina would it be possible to put in your titles whether it is for Knits or Wovens. I prefer the Wovens videos mostly. Thank you. xxx
I have a very limited amount of characters available to me to use in a title and sometimes when I can, I add the knit or woven but I won’t make it a fixed item there. I I always mention it at the very start thought so if you don’t want to watch you’ll know in about 10 seconds. If I’m totally honest, your request is actually very discouraging for me.
Very nice tutorial!!! 👌
Thank you so much 😀
Great video and instruction as I always see from you. I avoid button holes always. Although it is probably mostly “operator error” I think button holes are only as good as the machine can do. Thanks for your inspiration.
Nice. Thank you. Do you notice the button near the arm pit as you wear it? …. With the benefit of your experience, I might skip the button holes. Otherwise I would make them in case they were needed for access. They are easy to do, but I look for ways to speed projects.
I honestly don’t feel it’s there at all. The mark on the pattern was much lower. I just wanted lots of buttons.
If I don’t need to have to do up and undo buttons I will always skip button holes why waste time and effort if you don’t need them also you cannot usually see the button holes.
My sewing machine is a devil with button holes the buttonhole attachment is funny to use there is a lever at the back which it touched when you reach the button on the back but to repeat the stitches to make the hole sturdier you have to quickly re-engage that lever so it repeats the buttonhole.
So that is why I hate buttonholes which half the time the machine ruins.
Loved the top I think it suits you,
When you say it’s going to get cold exactly what temperatures do you get down to?
I was wondering if you were going to so this when I saw the LN new release, especially as it is described as a boxy cut. So glad you did, it looks great. I'm with you, I'm not going to sew button holes unless they either serve a purpose, but I will probably omit the buttons as well. Might just have one or two buttons and button holes at the bottom to be able to wear the top open or closed.
I am on the fence with this one. But if I do make it, I would not do the first two buttons under the arm - that would bother my arms. I would make all the buttonholes and just open the last two. I love your top. If I was using plain fabric I think I would have fun with the colour on the buttonholes and buttons. Thanks for another great video. The lighting and sound was really good on this one.
I was convinced I didn’t want this pattern and it wouldn’t have suited me at all. I have changed my mine. That frequently happens after watching Karina. Now I can hardly wait to make it.
You lengthened the pattern by just the right amount. I think the hemline is perfect. And I, like you, would not make the buttonholes.
This is lovely on you. Thank you for taking us all through the the steps. Heading over to your link now to purchase this pattern. Take care. ❤️
No I do not like doing buttonholes. I only do them if I have to, but I try not to pick patterns that have button holes.
I think it’s got a lot to do with the sewing machine we use. Mine never gives me problems and that’s why I’m very relaxed about them.
I will skip button holes ina heart beat if I don’t plan to use them lol
I agree with you. I would only sew buttonholes if they are needed for function. I also wondered about that top button, seems too close to the armhole, especially for a sleeveless version. Does it bother you? Thanks again for a great video.
I really don’t feel it’s there at all. My buttons are not too big and it could be lower for sure, mine just ended up there.
Can you tell me how do I know the upper bust measurement on a pattern that doesn’t put it in the size chart. Many thanks you look great
PS I bought the pattern
Cute top and skirt! What's your skirt pattern?
Beautiful top. You always do such wonderful tutorials. Takes the anxiety out of a new project. Does the pattern have lengthen and shorten lines? As I'm tall I usually have lengthen.
Yes it does :)
Hi Karina, I'm with you on the button holes! Would do exactly as you did. Can you tell me where you sourced your cotton lycra binding? Is it a tape or is it a single fold binding?
Hello Karina, thanks for the video. I've just started to construct the Lincoln Top and I learned a lot from your guidance. I have a question, I hope you have time to answer it: What size buttons did you use?
these are 3/4" :)
@@LiftingPinsandNeedles Thanks Karina, much appreciated!
Love your review!! I do have one question, can you blend sizes with this pattern? I have small shoulders so bending a size or two to the hip is always needed. Thanks in advance for any insight you can lend.
No you can’t blend. In your case, I’d choose by upper bust and use 1-2 buttons open.
Absolutely Stunning Karina ... Thankyou muchly for your tutorial :)I'm wondering if it would change the look if you used a V neck option for the top? Cheers from Australia
I was thinking the same. I may try it.
I love the slanted placket feature. Would an interlock knit fabric work for this, as long as it has the recommended stretch?
Yes it would :) make sure there is spandex in the mix so it doesn’t grow abs stretch out.
Thank you. I have purchased the pattern through your link and I'm looking forward to making it. Your video will be really helpful when I start it.
Couldn’t find your affiliate links.
You’ll always find it in the description box of each video. This is the link www.lovenotions.com/product/lincoln-top?affiliates=366 thank you so much 😀
If you look at the title of the video… towards the right hand side, you’ll see a little symbol like abs arrow… that’s where you tap and all the description will show up.
I think I would make all the buttonholes but make the bottom 3 functional. It would bother me if it didn’t match.
I agree and I’d do that if my fabric was a solid. This print petty match hides it all 😀
Can I do this without a serger?
You can zig zag with a sewing machine
I don't mind doing buttonholes but if they are only decorative and non-functional I will opt not to do them.
Why not red buttons.
Because it would limit the color of the bottoms I can wear with this top. I’d love to keep my options open to all color skirts and pants.
Thanks for the demonstration Karina! I just picked up the pattern! Great fabric pick as usual😀
