I think I'd wear a onesie catsuit thing with the skirt. Then a boxy sleeveless top over that.
thanks Cussot, I was thinking something similar.🤗
I ♥️♥️♥️ your vintage giant daisy fabric! It reminds me of an Andy Warhol show we saw in Edinburgh
It IS kinda of "Warhol -ish" I'm jealous you saw an AW show and in Edinburgh!
Love your new kitchen. I think a longer top would go well with the skirt. Loosely fitting of course in my eyes.
thank you Debbie!!
I’ve been binge watching all of your videos and manifested you into my feed. 🎉
😂😂😂
I would wear a fitted tank or t-shirt underneath with a cropped jacket as a topper with the skirt. The Rae Dress and Rae Shirt patterns are 2 of my favorite warm weather patterns. I have made the Rae top with and w/out sleeves and 2 Rae dresses both w/out sleeves. I hope you like and have success with the Rae pattern.
thanks Kristie, what fabric have you used for the Rae?
Beautiful kitchen. Isn't it fun to have something new that you love being and cooking in? Love your plans. Ill also make the S9907. I don't make skirts. No reason other than I don't like them on me. Own a half dozen Tessuti patterns and love them all. Top is Robbie pants.
I haven't made the Robbie pants but I know a lot of people love them. Just finished these Naia pants and really like them a lot! Funny, now that my kitchen is finished all I want to do in there is clean 😂
Im loving that cover up pattern. And the fabric you chose will be perfect. Omg. That skirt pattern is to die for. I'm thinking a shorter top. Boxy for sure. Or an oversized boxy sweatshirt. Chunky sneakers or boots for sure!!!
so far the consensus has been shorter boxy top. I think sneakers for now but SO CUTE with boots in the fall right?
I have a similar skirt from Bryn Walker. I love to wear it with a fitted tank that shows at the bottom and a very wide, oversized cropped long sleeve French Terry sort of thing. It also looks great with a low hip A line asymmetrical hem situation. It's one of my favorite skirts. It looks good with sandals or boots.
Perfect!! thanks
❤ Good to see you! Love your new kitchen. Just made the tropical research Puffy dress and I love it.
Thanks Sabine! I haven't made the puffy dress but it's SO CUTE!!
I am in Detroit next week. Bernina University at the RenCen. Tagging on a few days before and after so I can hang with family and shop Habermans. HAHA
I think a sporty tee or tank of a knit would be cute with the skirt. Or a boxy crop style of a woven or knit. Straight hem, no asymetricals.
LOVE the backsplash.
I tried to look up Bernini university in. Detroit but couldn't find anything 🤔have a great trip the new train station is open now supposed to be amazing if you have time for a tour and OF COURSE Habermans!!
Hi Gini, sooo good to see you again🤗. Your kitchen looks amazing. I am so happy for you 😊. These are some fun looking patterns and fabulous fabrics! I can’t wait to see how the jogger pants turn out, and how you wear them. I also like the pants pattern with the apron in it. The Tessuti dress pattern looks really interesting with the bottom band in it. Do you think it would look good shortened as a tunic? Your fabrics all look so great. I love the black with white ikat fabric for your pants. The fabric with the huge flowers is so fun, you will look amazing in it. Do you think the jogger pant would need a stiffer knit to hold its shape? It looks like it would be so comfy in a slightly drapey knit. I look forward to to seeing if the jogger can be made with a woven fabric 😊. I would imagine you are anxious to sew now that the work is done. Again your kitchen looks great.🤗. Looking forward to seeing what you have sewn, even muslins, next week. Hugs😘
Hi Judith!! thank you! I do love my new kitchen. That "Rae" dress from Tessuti also comes as a top pattern so I think a tunic would work too. I wasn't thinking about all those seams when I chose my plaid fabric for that so I"ll have to come up with something else. I am NOT matching all those lines 😂The jogger calls for a heavier knit but I think they would be kind of cool in a drapey knit. We shall see. I'm certain that can be made in a woven I might have to add a little to the width just to be sure I have room to move but I am going to try that. Charlotte suggested using my plaid fabric for those since they only have two seams so I'm thinking on that and YES Claude and I are both anxious to get back to our regular schedule of sewing and napping 😂
Loving your plans and definitely a short boxy top with the skirt. Cannot wait to see the 70’s fabric 😍 made up. It is wonderful. Happy Sewing😊. Lynne
thank you Lynne!
Hi, I think a short boxy top would look great with the McCalls skirt!
thanks Lynn that seems to be the consensus so that is what I'll make. 🤗
I looked at that skirt pattern, too. I never wear skirts. Never. Yet almost bought it to encourage them to make more things like it. Take an oversized long tee and keep folding/pinning it up until you find what length works best. I bought that same drop crotch pant pattern! I would see how it fits in a knit...mens patterns have little difference between waist/hip....then think about using that plaid linen. They will only have side seam matching and would be so cute. You can always add a bit of volume to the legs if needed. The Tessuti would be a nightmare to make in plaid fabric. To me, caftans are timeless, but that show "Palm Royale" really made them huge for summer! That 70's fabric is perfect for that pattern which reminds me of an old Bryn Walker style from years ago. Do the full length one out of that, you'll have it forever. Chances are it has rayon in it, prob rayon/poly. Looks like Claude loves his new beautiful kitchen! I like a small kitchen, less steps to get to ingredients and less room for people to hang around., lol. That tile is gorgeous and love the new cabinets.
thank you Charlotte! OMG I wasn't thinking when I chose that fabric for the "Rae" dress-waaaay too many seams in that for a plaid!! BUT I love your idea of using that plaid for the drop crotch men's pant! Genius!!! Definitely doing the full length version of the caftan in the 70's fabric! Now I need some really cool slides to go with it: want to look pulled together while I sit by the pool and sip cocktails and eat finger sandwiches 😂
Sundays aren’t the same without “the big sew along”! You have been missed but your new kitchen is beautiful 🤩 Love all your projects, I’m wanting to make that skirt also so will be interested to see/hear how you like it. Cheers and happy sewing 😉
thank you Christine!!
Thank you,Gini! Love your kitchen! Great plans!
thanks Robyn!!
Glad to see you are back! I often times will wear another short dress over top of a longer skirt. The dress is usually something I would not wear alone, and then I put a big swooshy skirt underneath. It creates an interesting siholuette. I made a Seamwork Mojave out of a white battenburg lace curtain and wear a white patchwork, eyelet lace skirt under it with white combat boots. I personally love it.
that sounds super cute!! I have that Mojave pattern and totally forgot about it!!
Can't wait to see the McCall's skirt. I've been thinking about it for a while.
👍
Nice new kitchen, love the backsplash. Those pants & dress choices look nice and cool for summer.
🤗🤗🤗
It's going to be so much fun cooking in that lovely new kitchen.
Have you ever considered doing a style evolution video? Did you start making garments you wanted but couldn't find? To me it seems that your sewing and style are intertwined so it'd be cool to hear which came first
thanks Nancy. I haven't thought about an "evolution" video but I LOVE the idea! I'm definitely going to work on that thanks!!
Great kitchen reno! Looks very much worth the wait and I particularly love the backsplash. Looking forward to seeing what suggestions are provided for styling the skirt as I'm in the same quandary with a similar skirt!
So far just about everyone is suggesting a short boxy top of some sort with possibly a fitted tank underneath. I think thats the rout I'll take and see how I like it.🤗
Gini, I love your kitchen! That tile is beautiful❤️
The Simplicity pants pattern, I like those. I still have not tried pants and I need to do this. I want to make some Style Arc pants patterns I have in stash. I have an order ready for Tina Givens🥰 I’m excited!
I love your plans for the cartoon print skirt! Can you change waistband? Should you change waistband to work with the top you choose? Pattern has cute drawstring but it could change if it’s going to be covered. I love black, not a crop top…. tank sweater. Something edgy maybe for top.
thank you Cheryl! Let me know how you get along with Tina Givens patterns. I have several Syle Arc pants patterns and like them all plus a lot of my viewers recommend them. I think I will eliminate that drawstring at the waist on the skirt. It won't show but it might make an ugly bump there thanks for the suggestion as I hadn't thought of that
Nice Kitchen
🤗
That skirt is going to be amazing! Did you ever try the Chanterelle pant by Sew Liberated? I finished their class, it was quite good, and the end result reminds me a lot of the barrel-leg pants versions you showed in the beginning of this video.. Have fun getting back into your sewing groove!
Yes! Christine I made the Chanterelle a while back and really like it. I almost didn't buy this simplicity pattern because I think the shape is so similar AND I have the Sewing Workshop Picasso pant which is ALSO. similar but, you know, I'm always up for a new pattern 😂
I don't know why but I like that baggy skirt.
😀
Oh Ginny Ginny Ginny a drop crotch jogger? Hmmm well you know how I feel about those 😂 but I love the other pants pattern from simplicity and might even make that myself.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I think go big on the top maybe just below the waistline 👍🏻
👍
Oh Ginny Ginny Ginny a drop crotch jogger? Hmmm well you know how I feel about those 😂 but I love the other pants pattern from simplicity and might even make that myself. And I love the cargo skirt idea I would make a shirt boxy top to wear with it I think in red!
Those are the ugliest pants I’ve ever seen. Could anyone actually jog in them?
Kitchen is gorgeous! The cargo skirt is really cute, but yeah, what top? Black or white tee, easy but not too close fitting, hemmed to waistband? So shorter but not too cropped. Or, are the sleeveless-tee-with-a-shoulder-pad too "last summer" That might be a nice architectural shape with the skirt...
Great ideas as always! I adore that tile and your backsplash! Can I ask who installed your tile? I also live in the area and we need a backsplash installed after remodeling our kitchen a few years ago.
You live in my area?!! 😀 Andy Davis does most of the work in our house is tile guy is awesome I'll leave a link to his Facebook page here

Love the backsplash. I like the cargo skirt pattern but would like it better if it were pants. Do you know of any baggy cargo pants patterns? I can never have too many pockets.
I was looking at this one from Know ME
simplicity.com/know-me/pdme2054
I decided that's too much pocket for me but I do think it's cute! and I love the baggy legs
Hey Gini! Love the kitchen, thanks for sharing. I wonder if you’d have a pattern rec for combining woven and stretch fabric in a garment? I saw a TG pattern video but now I cannot find it!
thank you Prosie. I can't think of one at the moment were you thinking top/dress or pants? I'll have a think and see what I can come up with.
@@thebigsewalong I think it was a dress or tunic. I was a watching one of her videos, she was combining linen and knit. Thanks for putting some brain power into it.
@@thebigsewalong
I found it!
