What a perfect wrap top! I am definitely going to try this project! I LOVE the way you sewed the interfacing to the facing so the edge is so neatly finished! Thanks for this great video! I have several of your patterns and I’m subscribing right now!
I love how this turned out!
The floral blouse looks beautiful on you! Love that fabric!
Thank you!
I like this! Thanks for clear instructions and diagrams. Looks easy to follow. Then I can say I drafted my own top!!
Definitely!! It's a super easy drafting project! Thanks for watching!
Great pattern with your adjustments. Will try it!
Thank you for the clear instruction and the techniques. I am totally inspired!❤
Aw thanks so much! :)
That’s really pretty and I like your tip on interfacing the facing. Thank you for sharing it. I think this will be my next project.
Thank you, Angel! I picked up that tip about a year ago and use it all the time now! So glad you enjoyed the tip :)
This is right up my alley! I’ve never seen the interfacing flip trick.
Oh good! Yes, I learned that a couple years ago and it is my go-to!
Love the 2 garments you made and especially the red one my style completely.
Thank you!
Really impressed with the facing technique. Lovely makes.
Thank you! :)
Love this and thanks for the awesome tip on the interfacing!
I'm so glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!
Love it and looks great on you
Wow! Sew easy! Pun intended ;) I love it. I've been keeping my eye out for this blouse pattern & have been working up the nerve to create my own slower to start drafting for myself. Perfect. 😊 Thank you!!!
These are my favorite tops!!!
They sit so beautifully, nice tut, thank you
thank you!
Both variations are really cute! And stitching the interfacing and flipping it is like 🤯. I'm totally going to use that.
Thank you! I love that facing trick, I use it every time now, so nice n' neat! :)
Excellent tutorial, can't wait to make it, thank you and happy new year 2021!!!!!!
Thank you and Happy New Year to you, too! 🎉🎉
Gorgeous blouses Casey! 👍👏🏼👏🏼
Thank you!
What a great tutorial! Thank you! I love all the beautiful techniques you used to create this. I especially love the interfacing method, which I've never seen before. I'm really impressed and just subscribed ☺️
Ah thanks so much Haley! So glad and happy you subscribed, I appreciate it!
Beautiful fabric, I like the shirt. I enjoy and learn from the tutorial. Thank you!
You’re welcome 😊 Thanks for watching!
Loved this! Please make it into a pattern. Both versions. So glad I discovered your channel.
Thank you Lora!!
Hi Casey, this is in my opinion the best video on drafting and making your own wrap top I've seen on TH-cam so far! Thanks so much for your videos, I'm really enjoying your channel :) I've recently bought a few of your patterns and I'm really looking forward to making the Hana Tank and Dress. Have a great day!
Thank you so much! I so appreciate the support and kind words! Hope you enjoy the patterns :) Thanks for watching!
Thank you for this video ! I am a big fan of the wrap+grown on sleeve silhouette. I usually struggle with size of the overlap , I'm always concerned about gaping !
Thank you for all the sewing tips too ! The inside of your garments are so clean, I love it !
I will try to incorporate some of your techniques into my next sewing projects.
So glad you enjoyed it! I think the wrap edge can sometimes take a little trial and error, but adding a slight curve helps a lot! Thanks for watching :)
Simply beautiful. I absolutely love it💛😍
Thanks!
Love the interfacing tip! Also can't wait to try this!! Thanks for sharing 😊
Thanks so much for watching! It's a great "easy win" drafting project that can be adapted into several styles.
Great tips. The top looks great!
Thanks so much!
Ok I’m totally going to try this!! I love my Romy wrap top but the drapery cut-on sleeve is a really great option for when I want to be lazy and not mess with a separate sleeve piece. Thanks for the tutorial!!
Hey Kristine! :) This is totally one of those "easy win" projects--simple but great results!
I'll be making this lovely blouse for summer! 🌷
Awesome, thanks for watching! :)
This is so cute! Several years ago I created a bodice sloper in a class which fits me really well but I have never been able to get the sleeve to fit right. I think I can make this one! So thank you! I’d love to see how you go about drafting a sleeve sloper!
Thank you for watching! I have a skillshare class on drafting a sleeve sloper here: skl.sh/38EwUyk (that link will get you a free trial so you can watch it for free) :)
Hello from Spain. I just made a top following your clear directions and it looks great. Thanks very much.
I'm so glad! Thanks for watching! :)
I am so excited. I just drew out this blouse using my sloper. Please do more of this type of video showing people how to design using their personal sloper. Thank you a million times.
So glad you found it helpful! Thanks for letting me know! :)
That jacket!!!!!! 😍 It reminds me very much of traditional Japanese sewing techniques, especially with the quilted belt. Something similar would have been worn as a utilitarian everyday outfit to work in, indigo/navy color with white quilting top stitching for beauty and reinforcement (sashiko). Lately kimono style clothing and sleeves has been appreciated in fashion, but I’m even more excited by these other details!
thanks so much for watching and for the history info! This style is definitely inspired by Japanese styles (the shape is so classic and great for easy sewing while still being just a beautiful shape). I love the sashiko techniques I have seen, although I have yet to try it in a more traditional sense. :)
Gorgeous and great fit!
Thank you!
I've never seen that technique before with sewing on the interfacing before ironing it on. Very interesting. I will try it on my next make. Thank you x
It is my go-to facing technique...picked it up on the Made By Rae blog, such a good one!
Absolutely love this!
Thanks so much! :)
There are some really useful techniques shown here.
Beautifully done! 🌹
Thank you so much for watching! 😊❤
Having watched this video again there will also be a jacket. I have serious mobility problems with my arms, so the wide dolman sleeves are perfect, giving me width I need to get the jacket on and off. Your channel just keeps on giving. Thank you!🌷
Sounds great! Thanks so much!
The top you are wearing is amazing
Thank you! I made it using the Victory Patterns Sofia Dress pattern, such a great pattern!
Oh I really love the finished results, and the tutorial is excellent. I'm just about to tackle a modification of a wrap top, so this is useful. Thank you. PS. I don't do French seams to start with as I know I'm usually going to have to alter something somewhere so the bodice is a great place to start.
Thanks for making everything so clear.
Thank you Viv! Glad it is helpful🙂
@@PatternScout It was.. I definitely have to do a basic bodice and discovered that the way you've done the sleeves suits me better as I have narrow shoulders.. Always have to modify them. I'm subscribed to you now so shall be following!!
love your techniques and modeling at the end. Just bought your Fern Top. Greetings from Colorado...
Thank you so much! :)
Love this tutorial! I’m going to try making one in linen with a shorter sleeve since I don’t think I have enough fabric. Hope it works out!
Oh that sounds very cute! Thanks for watching and good luck! :)
I love this pattern making from my sloper video. Now I can finally use it. Thank u a million times.😊
You’re welcome 😊 So glad it was helpful!
@@PatternScout will u be doing more videos like this one? I went thru ur playlist and because I'm 75 there's a lot of styles I love but unfortunately could not wear at my age. Lol. Again thank u for sharing ur talents with us.
I have a great sloper and wondered how to make things from it..... then I found this. Thank you so much.
You are so welcome!
Super cute!
That is so cute! Love it ❤️
Thanks so much! :)
Thanks so much for sharing this video. It's very informative and I love All your looks.❤❤👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you! I am so glad you enjoyed it!
Both pieces are 🔥
Thank you so much! :)
They're both so pretty!
But i like the dimension of the daisy print more!
Newbie here, trying to learn all the things i can from YT! You have a great channel, esp for a gal like me who knows next to nothing about sewing 😂
I am near the point of obsession!
🤯You just blew my mind with the spicy-facing tips in this video! (1) drafting them a smidge tight on the inside and (2) sewing on the fusible, then flipping to fuse to give it that nice finished edge!!
Haha so glad you liked that! :) Those are some of my fave tricks!
Smart technique for the interfacing!
Thanks! I use that every time now!
Lovely
Very good...both items.
Thank you 😊
I really like the facing-interfacing technique, haveńt done that before.
It is my fave way to finish facings!
Superb👌
So pretty 😍
Thank you!! 😊
oh I love this!
Thanks! :)
Thanks for your video! Love the two blouses! I hope to make them soon! I would like a class about how to make the blouse/dress you are wearing.
Thank you! That is the Fiona dress from victory patterns...I should do a tutorial on the shirring technique!
YOU can be very proud of yourself 😘 😋.Very nicely clear drafting and machine work.
Professional all the way. I trained in fashon, you are a gem. Cécile from Paris
Thank you, Cecile! :)
I love the look of this blouse! I'd love to modify it and add a aline flowy skirt to make a dress out of it as well!
That's a great idea--would be super cute! :)
Incredible
Thanks! :)
Excellent video! I really enjoyed watching how you construct your seams and how precise you were. It really, truly shows in the finishes garment. I have l those skills, or rather know the techniques (oops the facing was new -- superb btw!) but fir sis reason it was really enjoyable watching you execute the blouse. I am subscribing and actually been wanting to do skill share, I will take your slower class fir sure if I can. Oh and I can’t agree with you more about end,was possibilities! It’s really empowering I think. My creative mind is pretty quirky and I love doing the unexpected in everything I make, nothing too crazy, but doing something unique. Because I can haha. I love your top, the one in the intro, btw! You are really pretty and you seem to have a great command of what looks good on you, I’m impressed.
Thank you so much for the kind words, I appreciate that! Sewing is kind of a super power haha. I am constantly inspired to make new things and see where I can apply the skill and learn new techniques. Thanks so much for watching!
Nice Video!!
Thank you!
Lovely ❤️
Thank you! 🙂❤
Wow thank you for this amazing tutorial video and I can’t wait to see more videos.. any tips on a off the shoulder top or even the top your wearing at the end of the video.
Thanks for watching! The top I'm wearing in the video is the Sofia top by Victory Patterns--it is a great pattern, very easy to make!
thank you so much for this
Thank you for watching!
The lining of facings, is genius
Learned that trick from the Made By Rae blog I think--it is my go-to!
Hermoso trabajo felicitaciones y gracias por compartir 🌞🌹
Muchas gracias! :)
@@PatternScout 🌹🌹❤️
Thanks a lot 🌹🌷❤️🌹🌷
very cute👌👏
Thanks!
wow, love the top you have on in this video, I make all my own shift and pinafore dresses as I have broken crooked back and have to custom make my clothes to accommodate my back , lucky I can sew and have done lots of my own sewing for many years, my mother taught me how to sew when I was 12 years old and I persevered reading the patterns several times till I worked them out. the reason that I make my dresses is I could never get the right colour that I liked or the right style, or the shop had sold out of my size all the time. Since I broke my back, I had to cut my dresses with sleeves into pinafore dresses because the sleeves no longer looked right, so I stick to tee shirts under the pinafore dresses, which I can get to fit my shoulders and back better, I might try your wrap top could be another option for me, and your interfacing trick is fantastic, !
Thank you for watching! My blouse is the Sofia pattern from Victory Patterns. It really is so nice to be able to custom-make our own clothes, isn't it!
@@PatternScout for sure indeed !
I just found your channel...I am loving what you are doing! I have learned some new techniques watching your sew-alongs. I wished they weren't speed up tho because some parts I would have loved to see at real time to really see what you were doing. 🙁 Other than that! Love it, love it!!!
So glad you found me! And thank you for the feedback...I'm still figuring out how fast to go so that is really helpful for me to know :)
If you click the upper right corner you can control the speed of the video I often watch at 1.25 but also will slow down to .75 or .50 for certain spots.
Can't say enough about the interfacing tip! I'm a little (ok, a lot) nervous about drafting my own pattern for this. I'd buy yours right away if you chose to make one.
Omg just found your channel 💗💗💗🧵and I'm so inspired to sew again! I'm not much of seamstress, crochet is my go to but I have made a couple of leotards for my daughter on just a basic sewing machine. Please can you share how you adapted the pattern for the gorgeous jacket! I would like to make both. I'm curvy but very petite so being able to make my own clothes with be a game changer x
I saw a video on TH-cam about under-stitching, but so few sewers do that in their projects. I am happy to see how easy you make it and how effective it is. Also, how easy you make French seams look.
Oh yes, I use it a lot! It is a great technique! :) And French seams are one of my fave seam finishes!
Amei 💕
Cute!
Thank you!
Hi there love your channel. Is there any possibility of a pattern? I'm just not good at drafting my own patterns, but if I can purchase one yay.
Loved it! Hope to try both of these styles; this is exactly what I was looking for. Is the collar on the second version attached in a similar way to the facing on the first version? Look forward to doing your bodice sloper course x
Thank you for watching! For the second one, the collar is just a straight strip of fabric (folded in half lengthwise) attached to the wrap edge, but it is not turned to the wrong side like a facing. It stays exposed. Hope that helps!
@@PatternScout Lovely, thanks for replying! x
Love the blouses - what about a one piece trouser pattern - pull on - with narrow and wide legs .. thanks great channel
Thanks for watching :) That is a great idea!
Both of these are so beautiful! Thank you for the amazing tutorial. I'm wondering if we already have a boxy top pattern that we like, can that be used as a starting point and then just follow the instructions to draft the wrap? Clearly I'm procrastinating making a bodice sloper...
Haha I totally understand procrastinating on the bodice sloper! :D But yes! I think you could use just about any top that you like the fit of as a starting point, just something to benchmark the length and width of the bodice and sleeves. Thanks for watching, Danielle! :)
@@PatternScout awesome! I'm getting so many ideas. It might even be cute layered over a Nikko top for winter.
@@daniellefike Oh totally!! That would be super cute!
Hi. I love your tutorials and have subscribed. They are very informative and helpful. One thing I would humbly suggest is that you slow down : ) when people are learning something.... it is new to them.... they need more time to see what you are describing and to digest : ) I just finished watching your very thorough seam finishing video .... and would humbly make the same suggestion : ) Thank you. Happy Easter!
Oh.... this comment was meant to be added to the pdf pattern tutorial...I was still typing when the next video started : )
This is awesome! Any chance these will become patterns?!
Thanks! I'm not sure if I'll make them into patterns or not since they are so simple, but you may be able to find something similar by searching for robe or kimono style patterns!
I love the design of this wrap top! Would it be easy to add a skirt to turn this into a wrap dress? I'm a total beginner at sewing and want to make a wrap dress for a friend, and I think your videos are approachable and easy to follow. Thank you for the amazing content!
Yes I think so! Just lengthen the bodice and make sure there is enough room for the hips plus several inches of ease (per your desired fit when it is wrapped and tied). :)
This blouse looks great!
7:25 I’ve never seen this technique for attaching the interfacing and I love how clean the whole thing looks!
Is there any reason this blouse couldn’t be lengthened by a couple of feet and turned into a dress?
Absolutely! Would be so easy to turn this into a dress!
For me to do this, I need to make a sloper for myself. Scary x
Because you are pretty everything you wear should be wonderful😊
Could you put a link for the rotary cutter you recommend for garment making? Thank you!
Of course! This is the one I use: amzn.to/3oAMbtP :)
ที่คุณใส่ก็สวยค่ะฉันชอบ😅
❤
Casey I watched this video many times and I saw you sewing the tie on one side and how did you do the tie on the other side? Did it in the seam?
Oh, the other tie is also sewn on the same way, at the wrap edge. One tie goes through the little slit in the side seam when you wrap it around the waist. Hope that helps! :)
@@PatternScout thank you so much and your videos and clothes you makes are very professional ❤️I love each one of them
Thank you so much!
Hi Casey could you make this in a maxi dress please.
Thanks for the suggestion! I will add it to my list! :)
880 subscriber.👍😍😍
Thanks! 🎉🤩
CanI buy this patrtern in an XL size from you?
Hi, I know this is a bit late in the game. I mean it's only been three years since you published this one. Then again: if I don't ask, I for sure won't get an answer. My question is about the re blouse/top you're wearing while presenting this video. Is there a video of how you made it? I tried to figure it out on by myself, but met with failure. It's a model of blouse I've been looking for, but my medical issues only get me from laying on my bed a couple of hours per day, so any shortcuts to finding a pattern and watching someone sew it would be very much appreciated.
By the way, that wrap top in red is so nice (I can't stand my face in any green because it's make make me looking ill, but yours look nice, lovely and soft), and I never thought of making a blouse in a color that can be a bit overwhelming on me as a dress, but I do love. Your blouse here looks a bit like a Haori, and I have been looking find someone that gives "instructions" on how to put something like that together (outside of Japan). With my lower time for for making, being able to find someone to show me the way, is invaluable. It also means that I'll be a perpetual newbie I'm also unable to write succinctly as you can see. Yours, Ann
Can you add another video to extend it into an A-Line dress???
I'll add it to the list! Thanks for watching!
👍
☺
I went to the store to buy this pattern. 😢 there isn’t one.
When she mentioned about the rotary cutter ( did I say that right???) When she mention it in about how you can slip and cut your garment it gave me flashback on me cutting my finger! I had my mother's rotary cutter in my sewing machine bag it was in one of the pockets and I did not know it broke so I dug into the pocket to grab it and instead of grabbing it, it cut my finger it went through one side of my finger into my fingernail and came out the other side so I had stitches on the sides of my finger and not my nail cause the nail held my finger together not to mention they would have had to taken off my nail just to put stitches there... So they decided to leave the nail.
That's my reason for not using a rotary cutter cause I'm a klutz, accident prone what ever you want to call it, that's me 😒😏🙃🤗
Ahhhhhhh!! That's my biggest fear 🥴😫 i cut my finger on an x-acto knife once and almost fainted...and it was a small cut! 😂
@@PatternScout oh no... I'm glad you're ok and it was small.
can you sell this pattern in your shop? but with long sleeves. i'm a beginner...
I don't have plans to add it at the moment, but it is a super simple draft. You should try it! :)
