You look FANtastic in that shirt you are wearing! This is a wonderful and honest recap of Style Arc go-tos. Thank you!
Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it 😊
Great suggestions. I have made the Rhea top three times. I love it. Congratulations on your weight loss. I love your bright fabrics. Your style rocks.
I've only made the Rhea once and I think I just didn't use a good quality fabric because I didn't love the top - but it is TOTALLY my style, so I know I would love it if I used the right fabric. Now you've got me thinking about it again - so I need to make it up soon 🤣. Thanks so much for watching!! 💕
This was a very timely video for me, so glad I found you. I’ve bought quite a few Style Arc patterns and haven’t gotten around to making them yet, but I’m about to start on my first one. I really appreciate you showing not only the line drawings on the pattern but also the actual garment being worn and your review of the patterns was really helpful, so thanks for that. I agree that their instructions are very basic but fortunately I have been sewing for decades so I don’t expect too many problems. I live in South Australia so I can order the multi sized printed pattern which I prefer because I am then able to marry a couple of sizes to get a better fit. By the way there is a Style Arc TH-cam which shows how to put the bodice together on the Montana dress with all seams enclosed inside the lining. Worth watching! Thanks again, have subscribed xx
Thanks so much for watching and subscribing! And for the tip on the Style Arc TH-cam channel - I'll be sure to check it out on anything I get stuck on in the future!
Loved this list of Style Arc faves. I've added a few of these to my wishlist 😄Your fabric dyeing never ceases to amaze me!!
Thanks so much Angela! I can't wait to see what you pick up 😊
Very informative. This pattern company really does look great on you.
Thanks so much Carmen 😊
The Kaffe shirt looks great on you. I always want you to size down - this is smaller & the fit is fabulous on you!!! I am glad to hear you are re-sizing the items that no longer fit. You ice dye skills are amazing!
Thanks so much! I'm always nervous to size down from the recommended size because I have had a couple that were too small. Too big I can fix LOL! Thanks so much Kris!
So many great makes! I really love how your jacket comes out too! Really love the blouse you have on the most tho. There’s just something about that yellow.
Thank you my dear friend 😊
Officially tempted to take a look at the patterns
🥰💕💕. I can't wait to see if you pick something up! Let me know if you do!
I didn’t know they were having a sale. Now to decide if I really “need” anything. Your video is very good.
Haha - I don't think most of us really "need" new patterns but...it's a good sale! LOL
There are a few I've been wanting so I'll be checking out this sale! Thanks!
Good luck! I hope you find something you like😊
I have quite a few style arc patterns, they always fit straight out of the packet which is a great bonus! I've recently made the Rita ponte skirt which fits perfectly.
Great to find you on You Tube, I've subscribed! 😊
Thanks so much for subscribing! Style Arc is one of my faves!
Wonderful video. Style Arc is one of my favorite pattern companies. I've made several of the ones you've mentioned here. The Emmy dress I've made 3, all in linen, the Ethel top is one of my all time favorite tops. I'm definitely interested in the Yvette dress, looks like a great style. I'm currently wearing the Sussex daily until January. I love wovens and classic pieces and SA fits the bill on both.
Feel free to do more videos on the rest of your SA patterns. 🤩❤️ They have so many great designs and there's really something for everyone among their collection. I love your fabrics. I could build a capsule wardrobe with only SA patterns and be very happy! Great video and I appreciate the news about the sale. Happy sewing!
Oh I bet your Eme dresses in linen are beautiful! I'm excited to make the Ethel I think I will have lots of fun with that one! I recall. you saying you were wearing the Sussex daily - I still think that's amazing! I could probably build a wardrobe with just SA patterns as well 😊
Great video!!! Thank you for sharing as I have always wanted to give StyleArc a try!
I hope you find something that suits you! 😊
Love love the top you're wearing. Great to see such a variety made up. I've been put off making many from style arc as I'm full busted and don't want to do a bust adjustment all the time. I do love how size inclusive they are.
I've recently discovered a dartless bust adjustment that is super easy - maybe you'll find it helpful! th-cam.com/video/YCX8u6gw0I0/w-d-xo.html
I love style arc patterns, Michelle! And I have quite a few of them in my stash! You’ve picked some lovely patterns and I can’t wait to see you make some of them up! I need to go into my stash and start pulling some of my old ones out and working on those too! Thanks for the heads up on the sale!
Thanks Myra! What's your favorite Style Arc pattern?
@@MichelleSewsAgain You’re very welcome Michelle! Wow, it’s been a while since I’ve sewn one…but off the top of my head, it would have to be the Style Arc Elle Pants. They were super easy and fit oh so good!
Personally I love Style arch patterns for the drafting and aesthetic.The Felicity dress is just fantastic I made it for Christmas and am super happy with it, played with a blue and white striped linen fabric - love the Nova dress as well.
I agree - their styling is right up my alley! I'll have to check out the Felicity dress - thanks for sharing your thoughts!
Stylearc was the first indie patterns I purchased mainly because of the size range. My favourite patterns are the Brenda blouse, Josephine Jacket, Heidi Cardigan, Jilly Jeans and the Barry Pants. I also have a sign in my sewing room which says Do not buy any more dress patterns you never where dresses.
Haha - love the sign!
I'm definitely going to pick a few of these up. Thankyou for sharing.
The sale ended a couple of days ago but they run sales from time to time - so keep checking!
Thanks for sharing. So many cute patterns. I may have to try a few.
I hope you like them if you do!
Hi Michelle! I'm sewing and listening 😅
I love the shirt that you have on. I like the flair.
Thanks so much Zelda!
I'm on my 3rd hope dress. I love this pattern. I purchased the expansion pack. Also got it on sale. Im excited to try more style arc patterns. Greats vlog!!!
I love the Hope dress! I haven't used any of the expansion pack patterns yet. Looking forward to it!
OMG ! Love the top you made
Thank you so much!
I LOVE your colors! Whereever do you find such colorful fabrics??!!
I do most of my fabric shopping online😊.
I love the hope dress too! I am planning one with tr cross over front for spring down in Australia. Always enjoy your videos.
Yes! The cross over front is the one that I want to make as well. That's the one that Sara made and I think it's adorable. Thanks so much for watching!!
Enjoyed this review if Style Arc Patterns. I’ve made several and they weren’t my fav’s, but after seeing some of your makes I’m thinking of remaking several in different fabrics and doing a bit more size adjusting. This was really enjoyable to watch. Thank you!
I'm so glad you found it helpful Nancy! I hope different fabrics make a difference - I'm sure resizing will!!
I love Style Arc patterns, really helpful to get your feedback on the sizing. Ive found it to be oversized too, beyond the ease for design
Yes - I definitely have to be more careful when picking out sizes! Thanks Cathy!
That’s interesting that we can get the print versions of Style Arc from Amazon. I haven’t tried any of their patterns, but you showed some that I really like. I have to give one…or two…or three a try! Thanks, Michelle. 😘
BTW, I have 35-40 labels left from one of your ALZ challenges. I’d be happy to send them to you if you’re planning to run the challenge again. 😊
Hi Lynn! I hope you find one or two or three patterns that. you like 🤣. I am not planning on running the challenge again this year. I might pick it up again in the future but I just don't have the energy this year. I want to think of a more dynamic way to run the challenge. Maybe I'll reach out to you for some ideas 🥰
Thank you Michelle. Have made a couple of StyleArc things. Wide leg trousers from a thrifted pink pure linen duvet cover. Never wore them because of the colour 😂😂 (Clare Pant). Then a shirt dress, brown with white polka dots - kidding myself that it would fit. Still hanging in the wardrobe. Love it and will wear it with white tee and white jeans I expect . (It’s the Monty Shirt &Dress). Also I did a toile of the Lacey Dress in yucky grey tee shirt fabric. If I remember correctly it was quite nice
Turns out I have 9 (nine!!) StyleArc patterns 😂😂😂. 🤓🏴
Pink linen pants sound fabulous! You should totally wear them!! 😊💕
Heading to Amazon now, thanks
Still a great place to shop for Style Arc patterns but sadly that sale was many months ago 😩
Cute and creative,
Thank you! 😊
Ohhhh that tank tiered dress is super cute!!! Your version is cute in the tye dye!! I also love the top your wearing in the video!!!
Thanks so much Kris!
I do like style arc.
😊💕
Ah, I love your hope and Emerson dresses! I purchased some new SA patterns in the sale and your video was so helpful in deciding which to make.
Oh good! I hope you enjoy your new makes!!
Thanks for this, I have the Emmi dress but haven’t made it yet so good to hear that it comes up big. I have also been looking at the pixie dress for a while so I might pick it up while it’s on sale.
Hi Janey! Definitely check the finished measurements or measure the pattern pieces before sewing the dress! Also, unfortunately, the sale ended already :(
I have made three Logan Shackets (UK) . Terrific pattern. Apart from the floppy pocket bags😀. I also have made a couple of the Anderson Knit Dress which, as you said, is really comfortable. The Barry Pant is my go~to pant pattern as is the Fi ( I think it’s called ) for a wide leg cropped pant.
A fellow Style Arc lover 💜 Thanks for sharing your favorites!
Love your shirt super cute I have quite alot sa patterns just got another 2 thanks for the info on the patterns
Thanks Robyn! I hope you enjoy your new patterns 😊
It's lush I have made the Pixie dress x
How do you like the Pixie?
I have ordered the printed thru other venders and from them direct, I like them but so excited to learn that I can get them right from Amazon. I am going to have to explore who else sells that way!!!!
It opens up a new world, right? haha!! 🤣
thanks for sharing your SA collection! it must feel great to find a company that meshes so well with your personal style.
It does - now I just need to focus on getting the fit right!!
I also want to thank you for the heads up on Amazon. Getting patterns printed certainly adds to the cost of sewing.
You are so welcome!
Thanks for telling us about this sale, and for sharing your favorites.
You're welcome! Thanks so much for watching 😊
Love Style arc, they of all companies have fit me out of the gate, which is unusual so I’ve bought a bunch over the years. That Ethel top? Finish the bottom edges of the armholes, they leave those raw and not enclosed in any facing, I was caught after, it’s one of the very last things. But I liKed it, and yes, lengthening would be a good idea. Just an fyi. Loved the style lines, was ripe for color blocking.
Thanks so much for the tip! They leave out instructions sometimes. I had a dress pattern from them one time where they never mentioned connecting the bodice to the skirt 🤣. Sometimes we just have to figure it out LOL!
Thank You. I have tried Syle Arc was not a fan, you might be changing my mind. I'm going to give them another chance.
I hope you find something you like!
Hi Michelle! The Laura Leggings may have been the first Style Arc pattern I used, and I'm still wearing those first ones 😁I've got the Blair pattern, and the top I started I didn't finish - bad fabric. I put you on pause so I could go grab the pattern and put it with some linen-ish that I'm trying to decide on. I was on Amazon and they have the Monty shirtdress which is the one I'm most interested in atm. Thanks for your review!
Thanks for following along Lynn! I know Whitney from Tomkat Stitchery has filmed a sew along for the Monty. It's a cute pattern but I have the Kalle Shirtdress so I didn't feel like I needed that one. TRYING to keep myself in check LOL!
Thanks Michelle. Definitely going to take the plunge and get a few more as I love Style Arc. Hope dress including extension pack is on my list. One of my favourites is the Montana dress which I have made several times. I use the Burrito method for the top which works SO much better than Style Arc instructions.
The Montana dress looks like something I would like - I wish Style Arc's instructions were better but their styling is just so ME! I hope you enjoy your new patterns...whichever ones you choose!
. Thank you.. I got 3
I hope you enjoy them!
Hello Michelle,
You're looking fabulous! Keep on styling.😊
Thanks so much!
Great vlog. I love Style Arc they fit with very little alterations. My most recent make is the Millicent x2. Love love this dress. I’m buying from Australia as I live in NZ. Postage is expensive but not as expensive as printing pdf s. I’ve got the Joan in my cart also the Francesca blouse. I’m not a fan of raglan sleeves on my body, they are not very flattering on me and tend to make me look dumpy as well as being very uncomfortable. You reminded me about the Emerson might have to add this😊
I had to look the Millicent up. It's really cute! I hope you love the Joan as much as I do - it's really one of my faves! I love raglan sleeves - whether they are flattering on me or not I find them so comfortable! Isn't it interesting how different we all are? I love it!
With you, Michelle - love Style Arc patterns. Haven’t encountered a pattern that I couldn’t complete, given the “too simplistic” instructions. I own - and have made the Como pants. Love them - most comfortable pants I own…Happy sewing!
Thanks for letting me know about the Como pants! I think they will be fun to make and wear 😊
I love that Emerson dress and the Pixie Woven dress! Wonder if they might be available on Amazon? I do like getting the actual paper pattern. Michelle, I really like your organizational canvas "tubs" or "baskets". How big are they? Good idea for a label on the bag to show what's in there and handles are perfect!
Hi Deb - yes, both the Emerson and the Pixie are available on Amazon. The storage bins on the shelves? Those are 11" x 11". They come in a set of 6. Here's the link if you're interested - amzn.to/3OxV0lB
I've never made a Style Arc pattern but with the sale and hearing your comments there are a few I may try.
Let me know if you do!
I’m tracing off the Besharl at the moment but I thought I might try the pockets from the Petra coat or maybe self draft patch pockets.
You might be better off with patch pockets. If I remember correctly, the pockets in the pattern are in seam, right? If so, that's why they are so far back - that seam is not in the right spot for pockets. Of course, maybe I made the wrong size LOL?!?!? Good luck! It's a cute jacket despite the pocket placement 😊
Love your yellow blouse great coordination of fabrics!
Thank you so much!
Just watched this today. Love the shirt you have on, looks fabulous on you and makes me smile. This was a great review of Style Arc and the patterns that you sewed. Honest review of likes and dislikes. I purchased a few of their patterns at the end of last summer and hope to make them for this spring & summer. Mostly dresses which I hope to wear more of this year. Funny how the measurements work on most and then one does not, don’t get it. There are no garment fabric stores in my area and a very limited Joann’s. Wish some of the quilting stores would carry more garment type fabrics. I do purchase quite a bit from Fabric Mart and had very good luck with the quality. Nothing of interest right now which is disappointing. I also would like to look into your ice dying. A many shades of blue would work for me. Thanks for a great discussion! ❤ 23:08
Thank you so much Kathleen - I had so much fun making that shirt! I don't have any garment fabric stores in my area either...it's so disappointing. And Joann just rarely has what I'm looking for. I haven't had a ton of luck with Fabric Mart - a little, but it's inconsistent for me so I tend to stay away from them for the most part. But I know a lot of people love them! They do have great customer service :). A shades of blue ice dye fabric would be beautiful! I'm doing a top in shades of green at the moment!!
Thank you for your response. I watched a couple ice dye videos, not sure if you made one, will check. Yours are amazing, the artist in you. Shade of green will be perfect for St. Patrick’s day. I celebrate every Holiday that I can.
Great post! I love Style Arc so this was really interesting. I made the Betty tunic on your recommendation last video Now just bought a couple more patterns heehee You look great in your makes :)
Did you like the Betty?? Thanks so much!
@@MichelleSewsAgain yes! Really great to show off a print 💕
So far I have 9 SA patterns. They are kind of expensive though (maybe because I’ve only bought them from Amazon) 🤷🏻♀️so far I’ve only started making one The Evie knit top 🤣(I just started learning how to sew with knit) so basically all my SA patterns are easy.
I have two SA’s in my cart. So I’ll have to get those. One is the Lacey kids dress for PDAG.
I have the Evie pattern but haven't made it yet. I'm so happy you thought about PDAG! I wish I would have thought of mentioning that!! Thank you 😊
Style Arc really do have some fabulous patterns. I will be making the Parker Ponte pants this year and I want to try out one of their tops to see how they fit me. Thank you for sharing your list - you have a few really cute ones on there! 💞
Look at the finished garment measurements - SA adds a lot of ease (usually, not always) to their garments and I know you prefer a more fitted top. Other than that - I'm usually very happy with their patterns!
Thank you so much for the heads up about the style arc sale. I too love style arc patterns. I popped over to Amazon and bought the Estelle ponte jacket, the daphne pant and the bob woven pant.
Looks like you picked up some nice patterns - they will go together well! Enjoy 😊
I have made a few style arc items, they fit well however I’ve been caught making them to large as well. Great video so many good ideas for me.
Yes, the majority of their patterns have a lot of ease. I try to look at the finished measurements now before making my final size decision.
Great video, thanks! I have quite a few Style Arc patterns and some that overlap with yours but so far have only made 2... the Adeline and the Maude. I LOVE the Adeline and made it three times, although one of my makes got too large so I donated it. I still wear the other two... both tie dyed. The Maude? So awful I sent it on, unfinished, to my daughter who wanted to try it... She also had an absolute "UGH!" reaction so we don't even have the partially put together garment any more. With this sale I bought the Rona Wrap Skirt and the Betty. I got the Ines included free but don't see myself making it. The Betty is upstairs on my cutting table being taped together... and I just finished taping together the Elani Tunic which I bought a while back. I'm trying to work my way through my (way too many) shirt patterns and recently made 5 using 4 (not Style Arc) patterns... I'm planning on making the Elani and the Betty next. I've bought from amazon and enjoy getting the patterns already done, but they don't have the Rona. The monthly freebie if you buy on their site is a plus if it's something you want. Your makes are all adorable... and so "you"... bright and cheery.
The Adeline is a cute dress! I might have to add that to my collection LOL. I have the Maude but I haven't made it. Now I'm not so sure. Thanks for sharing your experience!
I took my chance to look at your Trello. Thank you! Can you please Film a vlog about the App. As a collector of patterns I did quite well over the last years. But now my fabric stash has grown recently and I’ve heard about the option of parting fabric and patterns in the app. I love your shirt, these colours!
I've been using Trello for a couple of years. I've done a video on how I use it for both my patterns and my fabric stash. I have not tried to pair fabric and patterns in the app. There is a newer app out that allows you to do that - it's called Stash Hub. It sounds like a great app but I've already got everything loaded in Trello so I haven't switched over. Trello is a free app and Stash Hub has a small monthly fee. Those that are. using Stash Hub really love it though! You should check out both and see which one would suit your needs better 😊
Here's the link to how I keep track of my patterns - th-cam.com/video/FhSZ7x3ZNrQ/w-d-xo.html
Here's the link to how I keep track of my fabric - th-cam.com/video/I2FOLIwABKw/w-d-xo.html
@@MichelleSewsAgain thank you! I really appreciate your fast answer ( what time is it in America?). I’ve heard about stash hub, but not very tempting details. I’ll have a look at your stash - of course I will when I have the chance to have a look around in another sewists treasure box!
Thank you Michelle! You have not made any Style Arc patterns as of yet. I’m going to take a look at them now 😊
Let me know if you find something you like!
I've never made anything from Style Arc, but I've been eyeing the Lena Shift Dress. I like have the PDFs and then having them printed. Then when I want to make a different size I am not starting from scratch.
The Lena looks like a nice comfy style! I've never seen SA go lower than 30% off so now is a good time to pick it up if you're interested 😊
Michelle, great video but.... Why did you do this to me 😂. I've just ordered the Parker Pant and Fran top pattern 🤣. Never let it be said I don't try and step out of my comfort zone every now and again! I would never have thought to look on Amazon so I can't thank you enough 😘 .....well let's see if I can make them first 😅 xx
Haha! I can't believe I got YOU to order something! Oh my goodness - so much pressure if you don't like them! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
@@MichelleSewsAgain be very scared ! 😂😂😂
I bought one pattern from Styl Arc, it's Parker Ponte Pants. I made them out of red ponte and love them. They are a little on the small size so I don't wear them out. The only think I don't like about Style Arc is you don't get a large range of sizes when you buy a pattern. My measurements put me in several different sizes.
Lots of people have bought the Parket Ponte Pants - I need to go check them out on IG and see some different versions. SA has different ways you can buy the patterns. Most of the time they are in a smaller or larger pack, either 0 - 18 or 16 - 30. I'm finding I'm kind of in the middle of the two packs these days - so that's a little frustrating. But if you choose to buy the single size, they only give you that size plus the one on either side (one size up and one size down). When I was leaning more toward the size 22, 24 I felt like the sizes I got in my pack were really good. I guess it just depends on which option you go for??
I have been wanting to try a style arc pattern. Thanks for sharing this code! I did the math. I want the Hope and Montana and BOTH expansion patterns too and printed in multiple sizes. $45.87 US from Style Arc with a shipping fee included. Amazon gave free shipping, $47.39 US and delivery is Aug 1. Style Arc is coming across half the planet so I chose Amazon. $1.52 difference. Great deal for 4 patterns with so many options. I hope the instructions are not as bad as everyone says. I also hear the pockets for the Hope dress is the best method. What do you think about their instructions and their pocket method? And Amazon sells these from Style Arc so they are still getting a purchase 😁
Thanks for doing the math! Definitely seems like it's worth it to go with Amazon if you are US based. It's been quite a while since i made the Hope dress but I don't recall their instructions being difficult for that one. I think you'll like it! Can't wait to hear about your experience!
Hi. Michelle, good video. You’ve con me to at least look at the Style Arc patterns and maybe I’ll end up getting one.
By the way, how did you do with the Kaffe challenge? I voted for you. I really like the way your blouse turned out.
Hi Renee! Thank you so much for voting for me! I haven't heard anything from Free Spirit so I'm assuming I didn't win anything LOL. I looked on their website but couldn't find a list of winners 🤷♀️.
Thanks for the rundown on your style arc makes. I have a question about your ice dyeing. I have done lots on tshirts and other white garments. I taught school so I would do it with the children. What fabric do you use for your garment ice dyes? Woven and knit? I think I will give it a try as I do enjoy the effects.TIA
I have ice dyed both woven and knit fabrics. You just have to make sure that they are at least 80% natural fibers or the procion dye won't "take". I prefer to get as close to 100% natural as possible, which is easier on wovens than knits. Sometimes I dye the whole piece of fabric then cut out the pattern pieces, sometimes I cut the pattern pieces then dye them, and sometimes I make the whole garment then dye it. Just depends on my mood or the look I'm going for 😊. Good luck!
Thank you for the info on Style Arc

You're welcome and WELCOME to the sewing community! I think you'll find it's a wonderful place to hang out 😊
Michelle, hi I’m Carmen from Orlando Florida you ask me where in Florida.
Hi Carmen!
Hi! I live in Poinciana
Akron??? huh, I grew up in Akron
I have to go a few times a year - I don't get to get out and see anything though - it's usually just between the office,, dinner out and the hotel then back to the airport.
Wow, aren’t you creative!
Thank you 😊
