Thank you so much for your explanation of the collar I couldn't have finished this without it. X
You are a great sewer, and love your very informative videos. Please add more on the end of the finished garment and how well it fits and maybe an opinion on the overall finish. Thanks for sharing
Sewing has surely changed from the 60’s and through the 80’s when I sewed a lot. You do beautiful work and I appreciate you dumbing it down. I sure need it. Thank you.
Its changed a TON. Starting with the patterns! Those vintage patterns are sewing gold. The fabrics! The difference is night and day. I could go on and on. I hope the sew along helped.
Yeah that pocket template is an awesome idea! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for your excellent step by step guide to m7360!😊
Just finished this top. 1st completed project in probably 30 years. Thank you for the help! The neck band was not fun, but your video definitely helped.
Woo hooooo!!!! Welcome back to the sewing bandwagon and congrats on your first completed project after a long hiatus. What are you planning next?
This was so useful. I'd also found the neck pieces too long so it was reassuring when you had found the same . Thanks 🙂
Beautiful fabric!
Thank you for your helpful video! I am currently making this and you definitely gave me a heads up about the collar!
Beautiful fabric. I can't wait to make something following along with you! You make it look so easy! Thanks!
Thank you I have been hoping for us all along for this pattern for a while. The neck band always gives me fits so I’m hoping to get that right by watching how you do it. Again thanks for the sew along. There are so few CZcamsrs that manage time to do that for viewers. :-)
Sandra, heads up on the neck band. The pattern shows you pinning it on the inside, it is actually meant to be pinned on the OUTSIDE (on the right side of the fabric). Also my neckband was too large. So you have two options. look for a smaller size on the neck band pattern pieces since they are all drawn separately OR you can also start pinning from the center back and work your way towards the front center and then redraw what I call the "bumps" in the center that come down towards the plackets. You will have to ease it in because its curved, so just take your time with it. Use lots and lots of pins on this.
What a great tutorial!
Thank you. Just bought this pattern, and was saddened the reviews weren't good. But I think I can do this after watching your video. And I'll use it while sewing. Can't wait to "go ahead and do that now" for real!!
The collar is tricky and there is a lot of ease just a heads up but other than that… you can do it!
@@MassonLifestyle I was going to check to see if a smaller size collar pattern might fit. Or if I could redraft that piece before I start.
@@kimroberts9547 Kim it was snug on me, doesn’t matter because I would never close it all the wya BUT with that being said, make sure if you pick a smaller piece that it fits!
🤗 Just discovered this pattern and love it. Thank you for creating the tutorial - so helpful and informatiive and a delight to see each stage before undertaking. 👏
Glad you find it helpful. One thing to note, wait til you have to cut out your collar til you get to that point. I found that I used a smaller collar for my garment and start pinning from the center back to the front!
You are a beautiful sewer and an excellent teacher. I just found you.
I just discovered you because I was searching how to finish this pattern, I was so frustrated. This is the first video of yours I watched, I love your instructional style. Thanks so much, I will be subscribing and watching more. Also-checking out Modes 4 U! Thank to @Modes4U for sponsoring this video.
I hope it was helpful and that you were able to tackle this pattern. Modes 4 U unfortunately closed their business at the end of 2022. It’s a bummer but thankfully there are lots of fabric stores out there. If you have any questions don’t hesitate to reach out.
Could you show how you fit your patterns or you calculate which pattern you cut and make? I like seeing your steps, thought process and steps to get from A to Z
I usually pick a size based on the finished garment measurements for bust, waist and hip. Most of the time I have to expand the waist (I have my measurements at the bottom of the info box) For this, I wanted it to have lots of ease so I just lowered the dart. But if I really wanted a really really wanted a something a tad more fitted I would perhaps done a bust adjustment but I wanted lots of ease on it. You really want to make sure that your shoulders fit really well and then move on into the bust area. I also have to usually do a bicep adjustment. Happy to talk about it more on my new sew along video. Which right now I need to pick what I’m going to do for a sew along.
I love your Sew Alongs. I have a question. Do you pin the neckband even to match the front placket. I couldn’t hardly tell. Thank you.
You have a 5/8” seam allowance, you have two dots in the collar piece. However, the collar band (which is very unusual from what I usually see in shirt patterns) is about two inches too long, so I had to pin from the center back, get to the front and then redraft the “bump” at the front of the collar band. I’ll be writing a pattern review on this one. A lot of the notches on this pattern also do not match, like the one on the two piece sleeve.
I just bought this pattern. I normally wear a 16 in McCall patterns. I'm not sure about this pattern. How did u find the sizing? Really enjoyed watching this. I was a bit worried about putting it together.
Somewhat big, I’m about to make it again ….. and I’m going to go down one size and even take it in some more once I make it around the hips. Just watch out for the collar. There may be too much ease in it.
@@MassonLifestyle thank u so much. I tried to match it up with my block pattern and it was unlike any of my other McCall patterns.
Did you have to do a bust adjustment?
I lowered the bust dart, I wanted an oversized feel to it. But no need for a FBA on this.
Did you use cotton polplin?
It is a linen cotton blend. Poplin would work along with cotton shirting, cotton lawn, linen, etc. Just pick a light weight woven and you will be fine with this one.
I see you posted Minerva fabs from England, but I could no catch the name of the company selling theJapanese fabric. I don't get on Instagram just You Tube. Could you tell me the name of that fabric company. Thanks so much.
The company's name is on the description. It was called Modes 4 U, as I as mentioned above they are no longer in business, which is so sad.
Please explain how you shortened the collar😫 I’m making size 6. I’ve never experienced such incompetence in a pattern.
Denise I started pinning at the center back and kept going towards the center front on each side. Once I got to the center front I saw how much extra I had and redraw the “bumps” that finish off and match at the front. I may have to do a blog post on this and take pictures. It’s an unusual way to do a neckband collar in the first place, but the fact that the pattern piece is too big is a woah moment, and not by a little but a lot!
@@MassonLifestyle I checked. It’s the same size as the 8. I’ve made a shorter pattern piece. Here’s hoping! Thank you😊
@@denisebeasley6055 this is the type of stuff that drives me nuts and has me looking at Indie Patterns a little more :( it is total incompetence especially on a pattern that should be a tried and true for the Big 4. Let me know how it goes.
