I haven’t sewn a commercial pattern since I discovered Indy patterns. The Indy patterns seem to be far closer to what I need in measurements and I don’t have to make quite so many alterations.
I am so glad you love doing the research for this! I like to do it but I could go down that rabbit hole for days and never get anything done! My stash is loving you!
Great ideas for fall. I do prefer PDF patterns to Big 4, but you have a big audience to please. Thank you for introducing me to some new pattern companies! I'm signed up for the Friday Style podcast. Looking forward to it.
I’ve been sewing my fall wardrobe for about 2 months now, mixing in a few last minute summer sews. This will be the first fall that will be mostly me made and I’m so happy about that. I’m currently working on the Heather Blazer by Friday Pattern Co. Great video!
Hi Whitney, thanks for the video. Great. Just wanted to compliment you on your top. The longer sleeve looks great on you. As a fuller busted lady (36g) I try not to wear short sleeves that stop at my bust line. Yours looks 👍
First I must say I just love the Montrose top you’re wearing. I enjoy these sew the look videos. Even though most of these styles in this video aren’t for me the fabric pairing gives me ideas for looks that work for my personal style and opens me to other pattern makers.
Have you looked at Kaffee Fasset fabric for the garments using multiple fabrics? His are what I thought of as soon as I saw the pictures of the dress and blouse. He has different colorways with different prints and they are wild and colorful. I made a shirt in the seventies using a different calico for each pattern piece. I loved it and folk looking clothing was the style at that time. Really liked this episode. Thank you.
I love these videos! Those RTW pattern mixes are kind of wild but I like it. I’m not sure I could pull off a mix of such vibrant fabric patterns, but maybe a more toned down mix. The RTW you’ve selected here is very inspirational. I think some of your examples of how you would copy them are spot on, especially that very cute little yellow dress and the peachy top. Great video!
Enjoyed very much! Great picks for 1st 2 inspirations and loved the last skirt. Inspired me and your fabric choices along with pattern matching spurred me to action. Thank you!
Loved this video but then I always do love your videos! HaHaHa I am going to make the skirt and denim jacket maybe Ill get it done by autumn in Australia - I spend a lot of time watching your videos! The top you're wearing looks lovely on you and I was wondering if you think it is in your daughter's colour palette. Enjoy your.😄
@@TomKatStitchery It's self inflicted. I've had it for years and have been living in a remote area about 5 hours from any service specialist. I fail completely to get it serviced but made a mental note to take it in as soon as I have finished these pieces I'm working on for the local Agricultural show. Sadly, I'm halfway through an Upton Skirt it goes and dies. I'm living much closer to a specialist now so there is no excuse other than "after this project"🙄. He would say the obvious and charge me huge amounts so I may aswell just get a new one and then take the old one in later or just not worry about it. The motor has seized but it was very veery dirty because of my lack of maintenance. Lesson learned again as it's how I killed my sewing machine a couple of years ago.
Love the fabric of the Tshirt you are wearing in this video (I already have the Cashmerette Montrose). The colors are perfect for me (spring). Can you tell me where you bought the fabric and the name of it? Thank you.
I gifted it to her as it was not in my color pallet now. The fabric was bought either at House of Fabrics or Hancock or even the chain that JoAnn turned into. So it was in my stash for at least 15 years.
@@kandacek63 Thank you for the info. I am sad that the fabric is no longer available. What a wonderful gift you gave Whitney. That fabric is beautiful!
@@maryhester5364 I loved it too. Was sad to let it go but I knew it was going to a good home. That’s the most colorful of all the fabrics I sent Whitney. :)
Thank you for another fun Looks to Recreate! Would you have a tutorial on how to add a shelf bra to a skinny-strap top/dress? I would like to add one to McCall's 8261 pattern and would appreciate any tips!
I just LOVE these type of videos!!! Thank you so much for including the big 4 patterns. I have that blouse pattern and have not made it yet, sounds like it is a great pattern. I did sign up for the webenar class.
I love these videos. How long does it take for you to find the right pattern and fabric? You seem to have so much knowledge about the patterns that are available. It blows my mind.
Moody? How could anyone who loves to sew be moody. We only want our makes to fit perfect. Make us look fabulous. Be the perfect shape and fabric….hmmm, moody? No way! Our lives are fantastic because we get to be in charge of our clothes and make intended design changes. Love your channel and the designs you have chosen. All signed up for Aug 26!
The limk to the Supercharge Your Style class is missing. Could you please send it to me? Not only would I like to attend, but I want to pass it on. Thanks.
Right?!! I'm also feeling like I need a faux leather skirt! My daughter has asked for a pair of wide leg, plaid wool pants and a pair of wide legged jeans.
I really like the quilted jackets, also. And I love the idea of making it reversible. More options and more bang for your buck. I prefer welt pockets to the kangaroo pockets. There isn't a way to make them reversible is there? And what would you do if you wanted the kangaroo pockets? Just put them on one side or not make them at all?
I think you could do the welts, but you would have to have an outer fabric and inner (or lining) fabric, but then you could do welts on one side. You could do the kangaroo pocket on one side or on both, if you wanted!
The Big 4 pattern company patterns don't fit my body very well and require more adjustments than Indy patterns do, so I rarely buy them. I do own that New Look skirt pattern and it's cut out and has been for months - oops! I shall snag the Simplicity shirt pattern, even though I'll have to do an FBA. I am trying to use patterns I own and not buy fabric, too.
I think that when you find a pattern company that drafts from a sloper similar in shape to your body that it makes all the difference. I have a body shape that requires a lot of alterations with Big 4 patterns as well.
I usually have a bit of an idea what it's going to be, if not the exact pattern. I do have a fabric buying guide that you can get for free when you sign up for my newsletter, if you're interested: www.tomkatstitchery.com/newsletter-signup

Ive gone the other way to the big 4 ...lol
I think it probably has a lot to do with your individual body and the fit model or sloper that the company uses.
I absolutely love how your top turned out. It looks great on you and the tiger placement is perfect!
Thank you so much!
love the recreate RTW videos. So much inspiration.
I'm so glad!
I am so glad you love doing the research for this! I like to do it but I could go down that rabbit hole for days and never get anything done! My stash is loving you!
I could totally do the same!

Oh good!
I don’t often wear skirts but… I have a ton of denim scraps and that is sooo cute! I could make it from leftovers.
I agree! That would be so much fun to recreate!
I absolutely love these videos
I'm so glad!
Inspired now for Fall sewing!
Woo hoo!
I need all the inspiration I can get! Thank you.
Me too!
That Montrose Top you're wearing fits beautifully! Well done, Whitney.
Thank you so much!
great video , and so funny when you said when your birthday was...mine is the day before valentines day
Ahh!! That's so funny! We are almost birthday buddies!
Love the top you’re wearing today. ;-)

Hi Whitney--I loved your video-so fun and inspiring!! 🥰
I'm so glad!
Yay! Happy, happy day!!!
I had to postpone my morning plans for 1/2 hour because I could not wait!! lol
😂
Thanks. It’s not that I don’t like independent patterns but I don’t do PDF so I’m limited mostly to Cashmirette & big 4.
Me too❣️
I completely understand that. I'll have to start saying when patterns are printed or pdf only!
Hi! That top is so flattering for you! Thanks for your great videos! So motivating. 😍
Thank you so much!
Your top looks great on you! Love the video. You are inspiring me to sew clothes!
Oh good! I hope you do some clothes sewing!
Fun video ❣️ Can't wait to see your selection for wardrobe 😉
I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
Love your top that fabric sewed up so nicely. Will be nice to see your sons shoes.
Oh good! It will be nice to have those shoes finally finished 😂.
Love your top!
Thank you so much!
I looove these videos!!!
I'm so glad!
What lovely fashions for fall. I loved those shirts with different fabric patterns & loved the skirts.
I'm so glad!
Great video, as always!
I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for this, also for doing it now, I’m a slow sewer and will need to get started for fall! I definitely want that that Farm Rio dress!
Oh good! I'm glad you enjoyed this!
Whitney, you look amazing today, your makeup and dress are perfect. Also love these videos!
Well, thank you!
Fantastic. Thank you.
My pleasure!
Yes! Farm Rio at Nordstrom
It's so inspiring!

Thank you! There are giant kitties on that shirt!
Love the big four!
Oh good! I'll try and include them more!
Nice options.
Thank you!
Just watching this whilst Spring sewing. I think I killed my overlocker/ serger!
Oh no! I thought I killed my serger a couple of times. Its amazing what a good machine mechanic can do!

I get your messages, but not until later in the morning/early afternoon, it seems. Thank you

Do you have suede booties? I bet suede booties would look cool with the pleather skirt. Fun video - thanks!
I do have some suede booties!
Love your creat the look, I don't know how you do ir, it's great.

Mood Fabrics has a free pattern that is very similar to the Fibremood Avril.
They do?!! I'll have to go have a look!
Can you do a class for plaid and stripe matching as well. Thanks
Yes. I'll do a print matching video soon!
I don’t see the link for the wardrobe zoom meeting. I would very much like to attend.
It looks like it wasn’t added prior to posting. Hopefully it will be fixed soon.
Sorry about that! It's in there now.

Awesome mixture of inspiration.. the faux leather skirt might have to be on my "need" list 😀.. Does your daughter have any requests for the fall?

It will be recorded and a link will be sent to everyone that's signed up so you if you can't wait it live, you could watch it after the fact!

What is that gorgeous tiger fabric Whitney is rocking in the Montrose she's wearing?!? Does anyone know? I need a tshirt with this fabric. :-)
Thank you! Unfortunately, that one was gifted to me and I think was a deep stash item.
@@TomKatStitchery Aw. Thanks so much for the response. It looks great on you!
Can't see the link for the webinar. It sounds really good!

I would send Shannon an email (shannon@aprilstyling.com) she will be able to check into that for you!
Loving the tiger t-shirt! Link to Super Charge is missing?
Thank you! I fixed the link. Sorry about that!
I see that you buy fabric without an idea what you’re going to do with it. When you do this how much fabric do you purchase?
I usually have a bit of an idea what it's going to be, if not the exact pattern. I do have a fabric buying guide that you can get for free when you sign up for my newsletter, if you're interested: www.tomkatstitchery.com/newsletter-signup
Where did the fabric for your top come from
Unfortunately, it's an older fabric. A friend sent this bit of yardage my way.
Will the webinar be available after it airs? I’ll be at work when it’s going on.
Yes. If you sign up for it, you will be sent a link to the recording after the event.
@@TomKatStitchery thank you!
Please forgive me… it’s pronounced net-a-portay, rhyming with prêt a porté .
