New Look 6217 Pattern Review
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 12 พ.ค. 2019
- So I decided to do my first pattern review for you all. I loved making this pattern, so much so that I made 4! Let me know what you think and whether you’ve made this one too. As usual thank you for watching and if you haven’t already done so please Subscribe 😘
Well done for your versions. I used this pattern to teach my goddaughter to sew. It’s a great little pattern. I have also made the kimono several times. I made the top several times when I returned to sewing 10 years ago ,in liberty mostly as I could make it out of 80cms
I don’t wear mine much now as have moved to a more loose fitting style but recently made the top in viscose as a coord set with the Safira trousers( tatb)It is certainly slouchier in viscose. This time I did the back button but sewed the opening due to time before my holiday. Most of my versions are without the opening. I made a size 12 based on a review I read on it by ‘handmade by Jane’ years ago. I also lengthened it 2 inches. It is a perfect beginner pattern. 😊
I love the top with the hearts. It’s so, so cute. I love patterns that are quick to make. Great job.
Manecoarse thank you, I love the hearts top too! 😊
So pretty! Thanks for sharing!
great job! They're all lovely!
Thank you 😊❤️
Love your 4 top makes, the pattern looks reasonably straight forward. Thanks for sharing :)
My Craft Room thank you for your kind words, and happy to share!! 👍🏻
Your tees are very pretty and your sewing is great. My I make a fitting suggestion? Choose your size by the Upper Bust measurement in order for the shoulders to fit properly. Then grade a size up, if needed, in the waist to hips. Also, and this is a necessary adjustment, do a full bust adjustment "FBA". There are many videos explaining a FBA because it is quite a common fitting adjustment. A bra cup size and a pattern cup size are not the same thing. I have NL6217. I have always worn a B cup in a bra. But I've learned that my sewing pattern cup size is a C cup. NL 6217 is a B cup pattern. Best wishes on your sewing journey. I've learned so much from TH-cam sewing videos. Thanks for posting yours.
T Know thanks for watching and taking the time to give me some really helpful advice too 😊👍🏻
@@StitchRipRepeat I'm glad the information was helpful. I almost didn't send it as I didn't want to come across as critical. However, I made a lot of tops that were not quite right until I learned the cause. Best regards.
The second one with the silver hearts is the one that kinda pulls across your bust line making it look too tight.
@@lindaburnette2200 yes totally agree, that was the first one I made in stretch fabric so a bit of a toile really to see what needed altering 😊
Which videos did you find that explained the “FBA” adjustments? I’m a 34D but I wear a size 4 to 6 depending on the style. I wear mostly tops and bottoms because there aren’t many commercially made dresses that will fit unless I make them. I’ve already ruined a couple pieces of test fabric trying different bust measurements listed on the back of the pattern. It helps if the pattern has multiple sizes but I’m finding that many of the companies start at a size 8.
In high school back in the ‘70s I was less that 100 pounds but still wore a 34C. My mom made most of my clothes even my prom dresses because I was so hard to fit. Sixteen years ago I went through several emotional events and gained weight until I was close to 200. I didn’t have any problem finding clothes but my health suffered. It took a long time but it gradually came off and now I’m at 125 which is where my orthopedic surgeon wants me to be.
I’m so sorry, I ran on and on. I really need someone’s help with how to adjust any pattern to fit my body.
That is awesome! You are my hero! Lol. I’m a beginner and I want to do a top made out of quilting cotton. I like the 1st two tops where you just stitched them together with no fastener. By the 4th one, you were a pro! Thanks for sharing!
Carolyn Coppola I love the fact you think I’m a pro, lol 😆 but seriously thank you for your kind words, I’m only new to clothes sewing as well so if I can inspire others to try it too then that’s amazing! I say ‘Go for it’ you’ll do great and it’s such a good feeling knowing you made this!! 👍🏻 x
Great job! Love them all! I have this pattern and I'm going to make it out of a rayon challis (viscose in the UK) Can't wait to make it! 😊👍❤
Patricia Bennett thanks and enjoy sewing yours! 😊x
Love all your tops, especially the third one with the bias binding round the sleeves - really sets it off. I too couldn't see the mistake so found out from a previous comment. You can't tell anyway. Happy Sewing!
Thank you and thanks for watching 😊
What a lovely friendly tutorial. Personally...I dont think they are too snug...they look lovely.
jan Spoons thank you so glad you like them 😊
Lovely! You’ve inspired me. Wish me luck
That’s great 😁👍🏻 Good
Luck!
Thank you. Lovely job
Thanks and thank you for watching ☺️❤️
Such cute tops! I love New Look patterns. I’ve made the top from this one but would really love to make all the views. Your Liberty fabric is so pretty - it commands a king’s ransom in cost and I’m guessing it must be lovely to work with. Congrats on all your new tops!😃
Thank you so much for your lovely comment (especially as you’re one of my sewing idols!) The Liberty fabric was a dream to sew with and I love it, love all the tops in fact and totally agree I need to make the other views too 👍🏻😊
Aww, what a lovely thing to read this evening! Thanks, you’ve cheered me right up!😄One of these days I may try a small cut of Liberty Tana Lawn - they make such glorious colors and prints.
@@vivmomsews4962liberty is great to pick up on the Goldhawk Road and this top needs only 80cms of fabric.
They are all very nice
Linda Graff thank you 😊
Well done on the tops! I like them all and they all look great on you. I had the same problem on my last two tops- gapey across the front top. I have to figure out how to adjust patterns for that.
Thank you for watching and your comment, I take a wedge out of the front pattern piece if I think it’s going to gape too much in a certain fabric if that’s any help 😊
Have a look at this lady's tutorial: th-cam.com/video/Br7_0asadco/w-d-xo.html
Joy Bernhardt made this top using Nancy Zieman method of choosing a pattern size also has good tip for less gaping neckline
I am making the kimono (which is turning out great so far) but searched for the pattern number as I couldn't figure out the facing, I have tried a few patterns but this one just looks odd so hopefully someone will have made it and shared . I like your video and I'll have a look at your others. Thanks!
Helen Jackson thank you for your comment and for watching. I am sure your Kimono will turn out fabulous, I need to try it sometime 😊
Like the Tops, are the two shops you mention still trading?
Hi! Yet another pattern I've bought and not made yet. I'll have to drag it out.... xxx
thestripeddaisy definitely! As you see it’s really quick & easy and so many great tops from different fabrics...go for it! 😊xx
Great review! I have cut out the pieces for pattern 'B' but am having a problem working out the facings. If anyone can help, I would be very grateful. Loved your tutorial on the Ogdon Cami too!
Thanks for watching 😊 Just wondering if you meant pattern A, the jacket, only pattern B doesn’t have any facing? 🤔 I haven’t made the jacket so I’m afraid I’m not much help 😕
Nice video
Corey Malone thanks 👍🏻
The dog in the background XD
Ikr XD
Kearney Shannon I know, lol 😆😁
Hi I have this pattern only made trousers. can you show me how to do thread loop. Many thanks Susan Peach
Susan peach, ooh I need to try the trousers 😊 My sewing teacher showed me, but best thing I can suggest is search ‘thread loop’ here in TH-cam and you’ll find lots of tutorials, hope that helps 👍🏻
What is the mistake I can't see it. I am a new sewer, the few garments I have made have a number of mistakes, but to me they are not crappy fast fashion, they are my originals and I love wearing them.
Margy B my mistake was I cut the fabric wrong on the first top and it had little pineapples on it, so they’re all upside down! Lol...good for you being proud of what you make, you’re absolutely right to be loving what you made 👍🏻😊
