Perfect Timing!!!! This is on my cutting table. After this tutorial I’m going to tweek what I did to follow your hack. Thank you so much! I’m making mine out of a solid red with a red white and black contrast bands
Very nice thanks for the tutorial. I am almost brave enough to try it =) I have a couple of patterns to tweak, then I'll be ready and you made this look very simple. Thank you so much.
Thank you for this tutorial! I feel like intuitively, this seems so easy to do, but it really is helpful to see you do the whole process! Now I just need to find myself a t-shirt pattern that works for me! :)
Really cute!! Good Job!! I had been thinking about doing this with my "Hepburn" turtle neck since I love it so much, it would make a nice cozy dress for fall & winter!! Have a fabulous week! :+)
Hi Whitney, this is a really good tutorial. I was wondering if you could show all of us how to “mash up” a boat neckline onto this T-shirt pattern? At some point in time? Please?
I just did this yesterday to the Wardrobe By Me - Wardrobe Builder T-shirt. I was going to make just a t-shirt but the florals on the fabric were so big I wanted to make it a dress to show them off.
Oh one more question: regarding the Monty dress...if a person wanted the sleeves a little longer, is this possible and how would I do it? Just extend the sleeve sea lines?
Thank-you for this. I have a long upper torso and usually have to lengthen the bodice to get the waist to sit where it should. How would I adjust this pattern so the waist curve sits where it should? Just redraw the side seam? Cut across the pattern and lower the waist curve like you do when lowering a dart?
I would cut the pattern between the bust and waist and lengthen it at that point (then true the side seam). That will put the waist where it should be!
Hi Whitney! Thanks for these great tutorials. I'm looking for a good tutorial about fitting two-piece raglan sleeves. I've made a couple of different patterns and find that the shoulders look like I need to add 1980s 2" shoulder pads! ;) Any suggestions or maybe you'll do one? Thanks.
😂 I know exactly what you mean! Usually, a 2 piece raglan has a dart in the seam line (not a dart you sew, but it’s been transferred to the seam). I would suggest doing a muslin and pinching out the excess along that seam line. You can just shave what you pinch out off the pattern and it should fit the shoulder much better!
@@TomKatStitchery Nancy Zieman's Fitting Finess and Pattern Fitting with Confidence (I purchased the books from Amazon) has all these adjustments, and her methods are easy to understand. Sounds like the directions for a sloping shoulder will help you, and her instructions are extremely well laid out.
You're all set for a humid Indiana summer. Thanks for the hack. Also, you have the cutest giggle when you say something that tickles you.
😂 thank you!
Very cute, comfy dress. Thanks!
Thank you!
Tutorial yes! Love your tutorial. My mornings are sitting down with my nice hot cup of coffee and TomKat Stitchery. My me time and I love it.
I love that!
This is so good Whitney. Thank you! 💗🌵🇺🇸
My pleasure!
Thanks for the tutorial. Just a suggestion: do a sway back adjustment.
❤️
Great tutorial: designing dress length from a favorite top / tee-shirt. Thank you! ~ L
My pleasure!

Ooh! That sounds lovely!
A gorgeous version! I love it.
Thank you so much!
Perfect I will be doing this because you can never have enough T-shirt dresses
Oh good!

Oh good! I’m so glad this was helpful!
So cute! It can be made maxi pretty easily too!
It totally can!
Wonderful tutorial❣
I’m so glad!

Yes!!! That’s a fabulous idea!
I like your idea of using the wheel to mark the necklines. How do you then transfer the neckline to the fabric?
The wheel makes indentations on the fabric so I can see to cut it!
@@TomKatStitchery very good. I’ll check it out.
Hi Whitney Can you please comment on how to use interfacing on knits ie collars, cuffs, plackets.? Thanks for the tutorial
Sure! You can use a knit fusible interfacing on your knit collars, plackets and cuffs. It keeps some of the stretch, but makes it more stable!
@@TomKatStitchery Thank you so much. I didn’t know there was such a thing.

Sure!
Love this tutorial, thank you. The Concorde pattern is also my favourite tshirt pattern and now it can also be a dress pattern. Fab.
Oh good!
It’s adorable. Great instructions as always.
I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for the great video! I just got the no pattern and will have to try it.
Oh good!

Ooh! That sounds beautiful! I love big florals!
Thank you so much!!!!!!
My pleasure!
I love this idea. I’m still learning to hack patterns so this is helpful. Also, you should look at the Agnes dress from Halla patterns.
Ooh! I’ll go take a look at that!
looks Amazing. Turned out great. Well Done!!!
Thank you!
Nice! Where do you purchase your cotton/lycra knit? Thanks.
I bought this at Minerva. StyleMaker Fabrics has fantastic cotton/spandex jersey as well!

I’m actually filming the first video of the Monty today. Let me take another look and I’ll address it in the video!

Thank you so much!
How do you transfer alt necklines to fabric to cut?
The tracing wheel makes little indentations on the fabric so I can see to cut!
I think it’s an inch short. The fabric must have contracted.
