McCall's 7812 Sew Along & Pattern Alteration
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 26 พ.ค. 2020
- A great Beginner's Project. Learn how to sew this cute pull-over knit top with step-by-step, very detailed instructions. Get tips on how to sew a narrow hem, create casings for ties, sew your own ties from fabric used to make the top, and learn a quick and easy way to turn narrow ties right side out. As a bonus to you, I'm sharing how to make a pattern alteration on the neckline for more coverage since there were concerns about the opening being too wide and bra straps showing.
If the pattern isn't available in your size, check out the link below to learn how to grade your pattern to any size.

You are very talented, patient and a good teacher/instructor.
Thank you so much.
You have truly blessed me today.
Okay, I am man. I am thinking about learning to sew shirts for myself. So on the surface, your videos might not seem to be a fit - but I love all of them! Your energy is so upbeat and positive. You should always feel comfortable to share whatever parts of your life you want to with us.
Anyway, thank you for all the work and time you put in to your channel.
Also, "If you don't have a ruler...hmmm...well, you need a ruler." Love it!
Hey Andrew! Thank you so much for being here. I've been getting questions from some of the other guys who sew and they want some sew alongs for men. I did tell my sons I needed them to be my models so I can make some men's garments. They said, "Okay"! Yaaay!
I'm obsessed with your channel!!
Oh my goodness, Mary Anne! I'm so very happy to hear that. Glad to know you like it here.
Hi Anita! Thank you so much for this video! I used this video to create view C ...then did the neckline adjustments on the pattern and used the video to create View A. Thank you so much! I ordered the Quick turn tubes between projects and was glad I did! It really made it easier than my initial turn with a safety pin I did w view C. Also your clear explanation on how to actually use the quick turn tubes! Thx for that! I'm in love with my tops!
Just saw your channel on And So On. I will be watching more of you!
Oh wow! That's awesome Thank you so much.
You explain everything so well, thank you Ma'mm.
My pleasure 😊 I'm glad you enjoyed the sew along.
Hi Anita, I just happened upon you, who know how, but your personality is so vibrant and positive and I so enjoyed your videos! I want to tell you when you did the one on the serger (overlock), it inspired me to get mine going. I bought a Brother 1034DX over a year ago. I had a lot of trouble following the disc that came with it on threading. It just wasn't sewing well at all. I kinda shoved it back until now; I told myself THIS Winter I am going to get that going. Then I saw your great tips on using it, even though they're different brands, so some of you hints inspired me. Yesterday was D Day so to speak. It is beautiful! I got it threaed correctly following a You Tube on my exact machine, then I gave it a test run. SUCCESS! and so quiet it practically purred. Thanks for the encouragement..I love your videos and your upbeat about LIFE.
Ooohhh, Joyce! This comment just gave me such a smile on my heart. I'm so glad you got your serger threaded and working. Oh, happy days are here! Have fun creating all your wonderful projects on your new serger. Thank you so much for watching my videos.
I appreciate you showing how to add the 1/2 neckline adjustment. I love this top! Great video.
Hi Carmen! I love it too.
Excellent way of explanation thanks
Anita, so happy to see you back sewing and sharing the craft God blessed you with. Your positive energy just makes an okay day turn into a day of sunshine and joy! Thank you and may God continue to bless you. xoxo
OMGoodness Trish! Thank you so much for your kind words.
Great video! I have this pattern in my stash and I think it is so cute. I love the blue knit you used.
Oh thank you!
You were certainly right about this Soprano machine. WOW! I made my g’daughter a pair of cotton pjs and they almost sewed themselves. I l❤️ve my new machine. Anita, thank you for your videos about the machine. They really helped me.
Yaaay, Della! I'm so glad you love your Soprano. It's AWESOME!
It's my first time watching your video and I loved the way you explained every detail, and best of all no distracting background music. I am now a subscriber. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I really appreciated. God bless you.
Thank you so much! I'm glad to have you here.
Thank you for making this!
You're very welcome.
Another great tutorial, Anita, thank you 🙏. I am going to add this one to my “to do” list. Pat ❤️🐨
Thank you very much for your post.....love your Style.....👌👌👌👌👌👌🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷
You're very welcome
I was JUST looking at this pattern thinking about getting it!
Very nice! Thank you for showing us how to make the neckline alteration; I’m loving these sew-alongs!!!❤️
You are so welcome! I'm very happy to hear you're enjoying the videos.
Thank you! Tube turners are the best, agreed. That’s one beautiful Gingher rotary cutter, first time I’ve seen it. I’ve always sewn with Ginghers, have a lapel pint now ‘Need’ that rotary cutter! 😏
I sure hope you can find the rotary cutter. I was surprised to find that it wasn't available online.
Thanks for sharing. Can’t wait to see what’s next. 💗
Dear Anita, i see always your tutorials, like very much, i learn always something. Greetings from Hungary!!!
Yaaay! Thank you for watching all the way from Hungary! I'm so glad you enjoy the videos.
Nice job! The top looks great on you and I love the ruching tutocial.
I love your tutorials. They are so precise
Awesome! Thank you so much, Veronica.
Thank you for this tutorial and for introducing me to the tube turner! I love this notion!! 😊
You are so welcome! I love the tube turner so much.
Thanks Anita, I think I will try making this shirt. Love your detailed instructions. 💝💝💝
Awesome, Claudette! Have fun making your top. Glad you liked the detail.
Thank you so much for this Sew Along. I love the color of the shirt.
Looking forward to seeing more!!
You're very welcome
Steady guidance! Thank you so much!!!
Yes, you're welcome.

You've very welcome, Patricia. I'm so glad you found this to be helpful.
Another great sew along. Thank you!
You're very welcome
Thanks for the great video, Anita! You are a pattern enabler! Lol. I am going to add this pattern to my collection!
Hahaha!!! Oops! I'm glad you liked the video. Have fun making your top.
AWESOME as always.
Thanks again!
Love your channel. I just discovered it today. Thank you for your detailed instructions.
❤🧵
You are so welcome!
So cute! I love this pattern and you make it look so easy :)
Thank you! 😊
I really enjoyed that tube demonstration that was excellent I think I’m going to Joannes to get me one
Awesome Ethel! I love that thing.
Thank you so much
You're most welcome
Hi Anita, this sew along was very good. I just thought that it was too many steps for Dritz. I use the safety pin method. Thanks so much because I have learned something new.
Thank you so much, Roz. Yes, use the method that's best for you.
Your serger makes beautiful looking seams.
It really does and I love it.
Thank you 😊
I would love a tutorial on a nice loose Tee Shirt with 3/4 sleeves with a higher neckline. I hate the low neck and cleavage showing. Love your tutorials thanks for all the help.
You can find a pattern with all the elements you've described and use the same techniques here.
Woo so amazing channel I love it
Hi Ruth! I'm so glad you like it here.
Awesome!!
Thank you Lisa
Thankyou for showing how to do the neck adjustment. I can never keep those wide necklines from slipping off my shoulder, to spite my wide shoulders, lol!
You're very welcome.
Thank you Anita, Very Nice tutorial!!Just purchased this pattern. Can't wait to make it now. Btw, I just started to use rotary cutters they are nice and fast but, I realized how cautious you have to be with them when I was not focused enough and got a couple of nicks on the other hand. So be careful out there with them.
Have fun making your top, Debbie. And yes, you must be careful with the rotary cutter.
Very good tutorial. So glad I found your channel. Unfortunately, I can't turn on notifications because it says you are a child content channel.
Really? That's weird. Thank you for letting me know. I'll look into that.
like step by step
Yep! That's the way I like to learn. So I teach the way I learn.
Well Done Mrs. Anita! I also liked the before blouse. I had so many questions as I was watching...I was so engrossed I forgot them haha. I loved the blouse I may have to give this one a try. Can you please tell me what make up your knit was. Thanks a bunch!💜
Hahaha! I'm glad you were really focused. Take a look at the pattern review video I did for this top. I gave a shot of the actual bolt that the fabric came on. You should be able to see the fabric content there.
Did you go over how you determined what size to make? I get confused with knit fabrics and how to determine size, I've just heard of negative ease with knits. That top fits you perfectly!
No, I didn't cover that topic in this video, but I do explain how to choose the right size pattern in my Beginner's Sewing Course here on my channel. You choose based on the finished measurements printed on the pattern. th-cam.com/play/PLJHwRnWpvYgOfT5UfeRViW7jfdXVuu-qX.html
Hi. I am a new sewer and I found a pattern I love love love. McCalls M7352 C. But with sleeves that go an inch above the elbow. And the V neckline I’d like to be more modest and not as much cleavage exposure. Will you please do a video with my requested pattern? It’s on Amazon, I will buy it for you if that’s what you want me to do because I really really love that pattern and need you to be in the driver seat so I don’t mess up. I follow visual instructions better than paper instructions.
You are sew talented. Wanna be friends
Hi Anita, How were you able to maintain the stretch when you used a straight stitch for the sleeve hem?
Hi Anne. I know it looks like a straight stitch, but it's actually a very narrow zig zag stitch. I definitely wouldn't stretch like that with a straight stitch unless I stretched the fabric while sewing.
Just starting to watch this video. Do you have an adjustable dress form that you use? If so, what is the brand?
Hi Karen. I don't have an adjustable dress form. I did buy myself a PGM dress form for Christmas last year but I haven't used it yet.
@@AnitabyDesign Thanks for getting back with me. A great video would be you using your form and giving a review. I have sewn for many years and am thinking about getting one but the reviews just don't seem to give one high rankings over all the others.
I would love to know the brand thread your using
Hi Lillian. I used Coat & Clarks.
I just bought a Vibrant today, and I’m a bit confused about your seams when you serge them. Do you set your seam guide to 5/8” and then serge and let it cut off what it doesn’t serge or is your serge stitch width set at 5/8”? It seems like when you serge you don’t really have the 5/8” in the garment. Am I missing something??
Hi Laura. I use the seam guide to measure the distance from the left needle. So, from the right edge of my seam guide (which is where the raw edge of fabric sits) there is 5/8" from the left needle. I hope that helps.
Hi , how are you today. My question for you is, what do you look for when purchasing a serger.
Hi Maddie. Look for the basics. Check out this video series on my channel. I share all about a very basic serger. th-cam.com/play/PLJHwRnWpvYgNoPVuBsNyrYJgTzDltVPqr.html
@@AnitabyDesign thank you so much, I'm taking in all this info to get me back sewing. Be Blessed!!
Pls can you make a tutorial on Vogue V1691, please.
Pls can you make a tutorial on Vogue V1691?
Hi Lauretha. I can't promise that I'll be doing a sew along on V1691. I have a line-up of upcoming sew-alongs.
