- Today, you will see 2 alternative methods to finish a V neckline on a knit garment. One is for lightweight knit fabrics and the other is for medium to heavyweight knits. I have not featured these techniques on my channel before.
The Claudia dress from Sinclair patterns has these 2 options, and it’s great because we can use a huge variety of knit fabrics.
I am sharing 2 knit easy to sew dresses, one with rayon spandex with a FAUX V neckband and one in athletic knit with a facing finish. See all the sewing! Plus, how to insert the cool side panels (Godets) that this dress features.

The dark panels on the sides do give the illusion of a nice hour glass figure. And we can all use that. Very nice.
I’m thinking of doing the same.
I agree. The visual illusion is always a plus :)
Such lovely creations you’ve made! Thanks for sharing the detailed sewing. 🎉
Omg I was just trying to figure out how they do the ready to wear vneck for a stretch knit sweater I’m trying to make . Thank you will try it 🥰
I enjoy watching your show. It is always informative. You are a good teacher. The dresses are so pretty on you. I don't know much about knits but I'm learning thanks to you.
I hope you try them. They are so comfy to wear.
Those panels are so nice! It's a great pattern. Not too full. Just enough volume to not feel like a little girl lol thank you for sharing the neckband tips. 💚
Glad you like them! exactly that. I avoid the full skirts to not look infantile.
You do a wonderful job explaining things and paying attention to details to get a really well constructed garment.
Beautiful dress on you
Thank you so much 😊
Definitely going to use the v neck technique!
You should!
Lovely dress...
Thank you so much 😊
Great technique instruction! As always.
Glad you liked it!
Well done
Clever design for the skirt. And you look cute doing a little twirl in it. 😊 Lovely dress for a lovely girl.
My husband and I have had our vaccines and we got to go back to our church in person for the first time in a year! Wonderful Easter celebration for us.
I heard Brazil is having a new surge of cases and there is a new strain of the virus in Brazil. I hope and pray that you and your family are safe and well.

It's bad here. I am actually scared and we are doing our best to be safe. We don't go anywhere and our vaccines are a long way away... it will probably months until we get them.
@@LiftingPinsandNeedles Thank you for letting me know. We will continue to pray for your safety and the situation there. You are already doing the best you can do, so trust God for the rest. He will turn your fear to peace.
@@lindahines7294 thank you so much. It means a lot 🥲
I can imagine how hard it must be to be so far away from your family during this pandemic. So, I hope you can take courage from knowing that you have created a sewing family who cares about you and sends you love and support from all around the world. You are not alone!
In the meantime, you have helped me so much with fitting patterns. Adjusting for vertical measurements has been a GAME CHANGER. Thank you.

They are both lovely Karina, but that second one is just really special. But then again I love those wild tropical prints.
Me too! I’m so happy they sell them here :)
So pretty! You are an amazing teacher! Thanks for your videos!
I love this dress. The tropical one is so beautiful on you.
Thank you so much!
Beautiful dresses! I would not have thought of using athletic knit for a dress. I will keep my eyes open for a nice athletic knit similar to yours!
I love these because they are heavier and drape well. The pretty prints get me every time.
Oh Karina! I was all over your channel tonight trying to find this video!!! Yay I found it and then I will be ready to rock and roll! Thank you, Karinaaaaaaaa!!!!!
Beautiful dresses and top tips Thank You x
You are so welcome!
Love the fabric and you definitely made the look
Thank you! 😊
Putting in the side panels made me think of putting in the sleeves! This is a beautiful dress and it really looks lovely on you. Regards Christine 🙋♀️🇦🇺👍🏻😍🤗😘
Thank you so much 😊. It was fun to sew something totally different:)
Hi, great video. Thank you. Unfortunately they don't have my size👍💕. I love that dress style.
I hope she updates it soon. Sinclair has been updating many of the patterns to size 30. You can still apply these techniques to other projects :)
@@LiftingPinsandNeedles thank you.
Wow! I love this dress 👗 both versions look amazing on you.
Thank you so much!
Both of your dresses are stunning and beautiful! I made a lot of Claudia dresses when the pattern came out. You reminded me to go back to this pattern. ❤
It’s so lovey to sew and wear :)
Wow Karina - you blew my mind with your simple v-neck neckband technique!! I LOVE this!! Also I love hearing the cicadas in your back yard!! thanks so much for your vid!! Love from Cara in Melbourne Australia
I just bought the pattern because of you, using your link. Thanks!
Awesome! Thank you!
Again, thanks. This is, as always, an enjoyable and useful video.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Both dresses are beautiful... your sewing techniques are perfect to make gorgeous outfits... thank you for sharing this v-nack series... you give me new information to give me confendence when sewing any of these styles... blessings
So happy to help :) V necklines are my fave and there are so many ways to do them.
Love your personalisation of your makes. Thanks as always for your inspiration.
You are so welcome!
Very lovely, both dresses are beautiful! Thank you for the comparison of the fabric, so important for a good outcome!
Lovely dresses, looks cool with or without contrasting side inserts!
Thank you so much 😊. I do prefer the same fabric but the dress with the left overs was fun too.
Love this dress Karina, the 2nd one is absolutely beautiful, hangs so nice, and the neck facing looks just so neat. I will be making this dress I think.x
Please do!
Great dresses!!! I have been looking at this pattern for a while...now I have to get it xxxx
It's so good!
I like to hear about the choices based on
fabric choice. Thank you!
You are so welcome!
I really like both of the dresses. In looking at the other makes at the Sinclair site, I especially like the ones that have a solid color on the panels when there is color blocking. Yours is a great example of that. I love the athletic tropic knit dress too. Gorgeous. I bought it with your affiliate link.
Thank you :) I am loving these tropical prints so much.
So pretty Katrina, love your videos and can’t wait to make this dress.👗🧵
Have fun!
@@LiftingPinsandNeedles I just noticed that my cell phone must not have liked how I spelled your name( Karina) and changed it on me. (Katrina) ☺️😉
I like both but the second on looks extr special on you :)
Same for me. The second is the special one. The first, comfy for the house :)
Ah, these are so amazing! Thank you for the wonderful tutorial. Claudia pattern plus 3 others purchased. I saw the sale in the Sinclair newsletter, but I wasn't even going to look. I have enough patterns.... Or so I thought! 😂 Thanks again!
Wonderful! you'll really love them.
What a great dress design on you Karina! The design of the dress and the style lines are very interesting and I am definitely going to check this indie pattern company. I LOVE knit dresses and always on a look for a new one. Your story telling is great and just love watching the whole story around the 2 versions you’ve sewn. Thank you for the tutorial on the faux v neckband too!
Thank you so much! I loved the different features here :)
Great info on these dresses!
Glad you think so!
Fantastic content, as usual, and lovely dresses. Going to your link now...
Yay, thank you!
Love the easy V neck, I always do round so I don't have to attempt V's. You don't need to thread a needle though, if you gently pull the needle side cotton it will lift the other thread through (like the needle thread lifts the bobbin thread through) learned on my mother's ancient 'no reverse' but beautiful black and gold Singer
I don't know if I understand what you mean, but ill fiddle and try.
I love the two dresses you did. It is So My style for a dress . I have a couple of Long Dress Tunics that Don't fit any more and I think they would be great for the Side Panels As they are lightweight Knits.
Great idea!!
Very cute on you.
Thank you so much 😊
Wow. Your sewing inspires me. I want to make everything you show. ...Personal question. You often mention that you wear a slip. Have you made them? Or are they purchased? My slip is staticky and I need to replace it. Thanks.
I have two. A very fitted one that I use under dresses like this and another that is looser for woven dresses made with light fabrics. You can see the video of the ones I made here: th-cam.com/video/tiWYY8XTlQQ/w-d-xo.html
I downloaded this and as I traced it out while watching you I realized I need to lengthen this as I am 5’11” and I want it below my knee. I am perplexed where to lengthen. Above the panel? At the bottom? Under the arms( then how to lengthen the panel? ) I will do a practice one for sure.
Add 1” above the curve of the front and back and it won’t affect the panel. You can Add the rest at the hem :)
@@LiftingPinsandNeedles thank you so much!!
@@LiftingPinsandNeedles thank you so much. Just rewatched your fitting guide. You are amazing! Thanks for all your hard work and sharing info you’ve figured out!
Hi Karina, I'm fairly new to sewing and after watching you for awhile and looking at some independent patterns, something has occurred to me that I'm very puzzled about. No one I know sews, so I need to ask you. I noticed patterns come in petite, misses, tall and plus. I've heard you and others saying that pattern makers design for a certain height. I have been going for plus size patterns cause I weight 80 kg. But I am only 4" 11 in height. I presumed petite patterns were for very small body's. But are petite patterns also for very short people. So should I go for larger size in petite patterns for my short height. I'm a bit confused. I do have great difficulty with the plus size patterns. So I don't know now. Are you able to help with this, please. Cheers and thanks Ros
Petite only refers to height and not to sizes. You if you are 4ft 11”, you are petite in height no matter what the size. Have a look at this video where I talk about height adjustments th-cam.com/video/ygNl_jmQo8g/w-d-xo.html
@@LiftingPinsandNeedles Thank you. That was what I was starting to realise after watching you. I just presumed petite was for little bodies not short height. This should be a game changer for me. Thanks much again.
I’m curious that you don’t often mention using a specific type of thread? Is there an advantage to using polyester thread with knits ?
It’s stronger. Cotton thread tends to pop more. I don’t mention brands… I don’t advertise for thread brands and use local Brazilian supplies.
Hello, may I ask what reference is your foot please ? TiA :)
What foot?
Lovely dresses Karina and I like your neckline tutorials. Can I ask you, when you interface a stretch fabric, like you have done on the facing of your second dress, do you use a stretch interfacing or just a regular iron on interfacing? Xx
Tricot knit interfacing. I did mention this when I showed the block fusing. You need the facing to stretch also because the bust is fitted.
Thankyou. I must have missed you saying it. Thankyou for your help. Xx
Hi! Can I do fake V neckband on ITY fabrics? Thank you so much!!❤
you sure can! it's lightweight so it's perfect
@@LiftingPinsandNeedles Thank you so much Karina!!! It was very helpful! I really appreciate you!🤗❤️
