Aster Dress Pattern Review and Pattern Adjustments
Where do i find details for neck facing adjustment please ,? The pattern piece doesn!t work!
@@nolacook7344 www.massonlifestyle.com/blog/adjustments-to-dawn-mccalls Hope that helps! AND lots of patience with this neckline and neckband altogether.
Great sew along - very helpful!
The Violet top would be beautiful in a dress version, maybe in a knit velvet for a holiday dress, stunning.
Oh my, I didn't even think about this in a knit velvet but I that would be amazing wouldn't it?!!!!! Thank you that is a great idea!!!!
Thanks Alex! I’ve placed a few of your selections in my cart 😊
Really nice patterns! Congratulations on your app!!
Thank you!!!!
I like the boxy jacket.and the long vest.
I had trouble with the Sinclair website also. I finally was able to download and make the Harper Cardigan and I absolutely love it! I have a review of it on my channel.
Wow, I know someone who has created an app!!!😅😅😅
You do!
Hi Alex! It's so good seeing you! I'm here for the haul.
I don’t see you doing sew alongs anymore😢 I love your sew alongs!
Hi Sally, I just posted a new one this week for a pull over zip top, also made a sew along for the Lodo dress from True Bias and a cardigan from Fibremood. I will keep doing them. Just got to my main TH-cam page and look for the latest videos.
@ thanks I will, I’m even subscribed and their not coming up, I will definitely do that!
Loved the sew along. Great timing. I just bought the pattern and fabric for it. Thank you.
Great sew along! I love all the variations. I think these would be great as gifts! I’m going to order the pattern. Thank you for sharing your techniques.
Hi Alex! I'm watching this so long! I haven't seen this pattern before but I do like it!
@@ZeldaSews It’s a nice little pattern, lots of different views on that neckline.
Thank you for this video. I haven’t sewn anything in well over a year. I’ll give this a try and follow along. Thanks.
You can do it and this will be a good one to get you back in there.
Great video, Alex. I'm just about to cut out a robe pattern with a front zipper so it was nice to see you do your top. Very cute pattern. Love the color. Thanks.
Thanks! Just trying to juggle a lot and enjoy sewing. Thought this would be a good one to show people how to tackle this pattern. What pattern are you using for the robe?! Always curious as to what is everyone working on!!!!
Your sew alongs are the only ones that I can follow. Your tutorials are the best on TH-cam imo. Thank you so much 🎉
Thank you for your kind words.... Just posted another one for Thursday.
Yes I love easy
Great advice to sew buttonholes before setting in left sleeve. Thank you.
I’m so new to sewing and reading patterns. How am I to know how to cut my fabric out? I realize I need some pieces folded and some just cut out I am lost in understanding which to do.
Biggest thing to pay attention to is pay attention to the grainline. It is that long line with two arrows at the end. They need to be parallel to the selvedge edge. So if you look at your fabric you got two edges, the one the store cut and then the other end which is your grainline. Most patterns will need a left and a right side hence why we tend to fold the fabric so if you need a pair of one piece you cut a left and a right side. Then for pieces that need to be cut on the fold look at the pattern piece. It’s usually on a long straight edge, the grainline will be there but the little arrows will be pointing towards the straight edge of the pattern piece and it will say “cut on fold”. Most patterns also have a cutting layout. That will show you where to put the pieces to maximize your fabric amount. They will also show you usually a few different layouts… keep in mind width of your fabric (45” or 57”/60”) and you may need different fabric length depending on size you need. So think size 6 will need less fabric than size 20. Lastly you have to interface some pieces usually plackets and facings that give things structure. Let me know if you have other questions, I know it feels overwhelming now but just take some time to read the pattern instructions and I assure you with some practice you won’t even need to look at the cutting layouts. You got this!!!! 🙌
Love it. Going to make this thanks to your sew along. Thank you
What machine are you using in this video?
I use a Bernette B38. It's a nice beginner's machine but it has a lot of extra bells like a thread cutter and top loading bobbin. It is still running and it's in great condition.
Have you done a tutorial on mccalls 8144. If not could you do one please am new to sewing and struggle to understand the instructions ❤❤❤
@@lisanegus9113 www.insidethehem.com/post/wythe-mccall-s-aka-m8144-sewing-pattern-review here is a sew along from Lindsey at Inside the Hem. She’s great with them. As you keep sewing I promise those instructions will makes more sense and I suspect that with time you won’t even need them.
what fabric did u use for the lining? is this viscose? love the pattern! I thought about doing the cape without the lining... but i am not sure, if that would be fine with woolenfabric...
I used a viscose for the lining fabric. You could actually get away without a lining just make sure that you finish the seam allowances
thanks so much for the tutorial! how did you lengthen the pieces? I want to do the b version a little bit longer - dont have enought fabric for c... 😅
You have three different lengths on this pattern. I just cut it between the shortest and the medium length.
I vote for 9100 because I have the same pattern and would love to see it on a real person.
Thanks for actually doing sew-a-long. I have become more skeptical of reviews saying what an easy sew this is. Not necessarily for a beginner. Beautiful fabric.
Per usual I learn so much from your Sew-Along. Excellent tutorial. Will replay for notes. Oh snap I can save the video. Be well Alex.
Love this wine color Alex. Looks wonderful on you
Your dress is very cute on you. I really like the looks of this dress - do you think it would look good under a jacket? I have and ITY (I believe) in my stash that may make a cute Lodo. Thanks for the sew along.
I think so, as far as knit fabrics choose a double knit, interlock or ponte. ITY might be too lightweight for it
Great video! Thanks for sharing!
Lovely plans and beautiful fabrics. Can't wait to see them sewn up. Greetings from Ireland
Hi! Thanks for sharing! ❤ Although you have beautiful hands I miss your cute face 😆🥰 those fabrics look amazing! I receive sale flyers from WSDF but have never bought from them. I just may try it! That leopard print tho is gorgeous 🤩. I think either one of those Vogue patterns will work. I agree though too many bows. I would recommend the short sleeve with one bow. However I think that fabric would work best for the princess seam V9100 it’s a pretty fabric but a little busy 😅😊
I have completely stopped buying patterns from the Big Five. My husband got me a subscription to Burda in English that comes to my mailbox every month. Not only do I get a whole load of patterns each month, but the magazine is inspiring with interesting ideas for styling your pieces and fabric suggestions and usually spotlights a designer either working in fashion or in textile. I really enjoy it and they do a great job of having seasonal designs in each magazine.
@@johncarroll8049 They have some really great patterns, I love their styling too. I just wished the magazine came with a QR Code that you could download the patterns from the website vs. all that tracing. It’s just not good for my vertigo.
This is a nice classy cardigan Alex!!
Great video! Perfect timing for Fall sewing. Great reminders for sewing with knit.
Beautiful cardigan
I prefer to do the facing collar by hand. Excellent sew-a-long. I always learn something.
That makes two of us!!!! No matter what it is, I always do. The placket on the machine SURE... but that back collar facing? Where is the needle and thread! Plus I can't unsee ugly stitches.
Yes please I’m so looking forward to the Lander pants sew along! I’ve had that pattern for 3 years and I’m absolutely terrified of it lol You are definitely giving me the confidence to give it a try ❤
Last year I made a sweater vest for my granddaughter that I purchased for my oldest daughter but never made for her. She is 45.😮
Im dying laughing over here. I really need to get sewing
That Denim jacket -- love it! Check out this year’s Pantone Fall colors. You have most of the colors in your video.
I do?!!! I have to go check those out. Thanks
