- It's time for the next Sew Essential vlog instalment and I thought it would be nice to share a video of me sewing one of my recent makes and one of my #makenine - a lovely simple 90s Simplicty 1366 cami top.

LOVE watching from start to finish! Please do this more. Thanks for your videos!!
Glad you enjoyed it Kimberly!
It looks lovely. Love the colour. Thank you for sharing
Thanks daydreambeliever, it is my favourite colour and I'm really glad you enjoyed watching.
That strap trick is GENIUS!
It is all kinds of awesome isn't it?!
Lovely top! Thanks so much for the clever tip about using an overlocker to help turn narrow straps - I'll definitely be trying that!
Thanks Grace, I'm really glad you found it useful, it is a brilliant little time saver. There's an article on our blog we did a while ago with tips and tricks for your overlocker you might find interesting, you can find it here www.sewessential.co.uk/blog/five-tips-tricks-for-your-overlocker/
Thanks for the link. I think I need to be a bit more adventurous with my overlocker!
It is definitely worth spending a little time trying out some of the tips and tricks, a little time spent learning can save you a tonne of time in the future and help you to get a great finish too.
Looks fabulous!! Fits perfect... very neat and professional!
Thanks so much SaunWhee I want to make one in every colour it was so quick and easy, just need to finish another project first.
I don't blame you for making several...perfect neckline, no gapping around the armhole...perfect in every way!!!
Wonderful video Lucy, thanks for sharing. Amazing idea with the use of the serger, I've had issue with straps in past. I think all that will change with your tip. Have a wonderful day!
Thanks Renata, I'm so glad you liked it and the tip was helpful, have a great day too.
Love the top and fabric, I haven't used simplicity patterns for ages must get this one.

Great tutorial Lucy! Such a good tip for creating the straps on the overlocker then turning them out! I'll definitely be using that. This video was great sewjo boosting as well; I definitely want to do something sewing related this evening now. Thank you! xx
Oh and the finish top is gorgeous!
Great tutorial/sew-a-long and a great turn out on your top! Thank you for the tutorial and for making it so easy to follow.
That is awesome. I might make that for my daughter. I wish I could wear sleeveless. Excellent demo.
Thank you, yes it was a super duper pattern. Sadly it has now been discontinued, but this is a good alternative: www.sewessential.co.uk/true-bias-ogden-cami-sewing-pattern
I'm definitely going to try that technique next time I have to make skinny straps - thanks for the tip!
It's a pleasure, I've done it again in the last couple of weeks for my McCalls cocktail hour blogger tour dress and it works every time. Glad to be helpful.

Just watched you make the cami, it's a lovely colour and it looks like a good make. I will definitely will get this pattern, thanks x
Thanks for the lovely feedback Jackie F, I'm itching to make more, but have another project on the go which I must finish first. Glad you liked it.
Turned out so well. Explaining what you are doing and using the fast motion is a great way to do this (and maybe I'm a little slow and it is just me), but if you could slow down the fast motion just a little that would be great. Thank you for posting this.
Thanks for the feedback I thought people might say that and we can definitely slow it down a little next time, I'm really glad you liked it and we'll definitely make more now we know people are enjoying it.
perfect and thank you!
It is a pleasure, it really is such an awesome pattern.
If it were available in real time also I would be able to make this.
That's a really awesome trick for the straps. Thanks for sharing!
It's a pleasure Adria, glad you liked it.
Lovely results but the high speed brings on a headache
The fit is ideal.
I would not ha e selected the color
But it is striking. Congrats @@SewEssential bilo elysium
waaaw i like thanks
I LOVE using my serger on slippery fabric. Have you ever tried using a rolled hem on your serger/overlocker? I used to have the Imagine serger. The jet air threading is wonderful! I was just looking for a great camisole pattern. This one is perfect! Thanks for the informative sew-a-long..
Please do a tutorial on how you finished the hem with the overlock. Great cami tutorial thank you
Just stunning!! I am looking for a cami that has a wider strap. Not fond of the skinny straps. Suggestion for a pattern?
Hi, love the cami. Can you tell me what interfacing you used please
Thanks great vid. What is the red dress next to you at the end of the video please? It,looks a lovely shape and fabric. Thank you
What did you use to put your thread stand on the pegboard? 😃 😃 😃
How about a tutorial for making a shelf bra inside cami for support? Thank you
Thank you for this ! I think it would look great in a dress, just extend the length....😃
What a fab idea Alison, love it!
The fast forward was to fast for me. I couldn’t catch how you we’re doing things. Is there any chance you can slow the speed of the fast forward parts down a bit for us novices?
You can change the playback speed in the video settings. 😀 I turned mine down to about 0.75x
@@ail818 thank you!, I didn’t know that.😀
Enjoyed very much! Would be rather nice to see a bit slower... 😊
Diane DeMeyer Here’s a tip: set playback speed of the video LOWER, below normal. I do this when I want to absorb the content at a slower pace.
Love the tutorial but why do you have to play awful awful music??
you're talking too low can hardly hear you
The music is awful and not needed.
