- Hello friends, I have a very practical episode with tips on how to make small changes to patterns to make sewing easier. I'm using the Presto from Love Notions to create a dreamed garment with linen. I wanted a versatile piece that I could wear buttoned up on its own, or open like a light layering piece and the changes needed are so simple.
Come and join me to discover:
*How to simplify the banded collar and transform it from 3 pieces to 1 piece
*How to transform a separate placket piece to a simple extension of the front piece
*How to transform a half placket detail to a total length placket so you can wear it open
*Let's add a few cute pin-tucks to a rectangle before cutting out the pattern piece
The Presto Tunic from Love Notions has been updated to improve sizing to 5X. It's $5 this whole weekend! through Sunday 17th of September 2023. This is my affiliate link: www.lovenotion...

Karina - your affiliate link isn’t working. It says page not found.
@@suewilbur504I fixed it. I just noticed the link changed from the one before the revision.
Your joy and enthusiasm comes through, no problem 😊.
I always enjoy your enthusiasm in your videos!
As always great content ❤
Your joy and excitement is contagious, really ! Love seeing your limitless creativity. The "resource"-videos are most welcome. Thanks 🤗
Karina, I love your videos and can always count on learning something new. Your instructions are clear and easy to follow. Thank you for all the effort you put into your videos.
Karina, I love your enthusiasm and creativity! I seem to never want to make the same garment twice, so I like to “change things up” like you did here. Your tips and hacks are always inspiring and I often go to your channel library to find out how to do what I’m imagining. Thank you so much for sharing your ideas and expertise!

I love settling in to watch your videos -- and I love your enthusiasm and all the so very, very helpful tips and techniques on ways to do things! Also the outfits! Thanks for sharing so much.
You are so welcome!
Karina your modified Presto tunic is so beautifully designed and sewn with such precision. So crisp, a true classic piece. ❤
As always Karina, thank you 🙏🙏🙏. Love all of the techniques you share with us 🤓🏴
Thank you, Karina, for your generosity in sharing your expertise, creativity and enthusiasm. It is so inspiring and helpful to know we have your instructional videos to rely on in our sewing journey.
Wonderful make!!! I know *exactly* the joy you feel when altering a pattern to "make it your own"!
Beautiful Presto! Whether the video is a sewing tutorial, pattern hack, or thrift flip, your love for sewing always shows. Karina, thank you for sharing your wealth of sewing knowledge, creativity, and for being a source of inspiration!
Karina you outdid yourself again…the overlap vent is stunning. BEAUTIFUL as always. Thank you for all your hard work in creating these gorgeous pieces💋💨
My mind is blown!! Excellent video, great alternatives to add to the original Presto. Thanks Karina
The side buttoned vent is a nice detail.
You are one clever highly creative girl ! Love all your makes . I thought the lovely green quilting cotton looked lovely on you as well as your other makes . You must have have a very hard decision on what to wear each day and to church . The best dressed lady in Brazil.
Love the top with your enhancements.
I love all of the options that you have given us here. I never would have thought to add a full length placket. I love pin-tucks and the option to add only a few is awesome. I have had this pattern since it came out, but have never made it because it was a woven and I probably need a FBA. Now that it has FBA, I will give it a try. I do want to make a dress as I do not wear tunics and I would make it shirt length when I do finally get around to it! Thank you for your inspiration and enthusiasm for sewing and sharing with the world!
Stunning Make! the details and your finishes are just extraordinary. I hadn’t planned to get this pattern but your alternatives and your ideas are encouraging . I’ve pushed purchase. Thanks for the links to your discount codes.
Thank you so much for your videos and sharing how you sew. Your outstanding!
You are so welcome!
I love all these extras great effect
The affiliate link is working now and I was able to purchase the pattern. Thanks for another great video, Karina!!
Wow Katrina, can always rely on your fabulous and easy great ideas, I never thought of doing pin tuck that way so easy ❤
Your videos somehow come through on my sidebar and not just one but over 20!! I guess TH-cam's algorithm knows how much I love watching your videos. I love all the blouses you make and I am so obsessed with patterns and love the whole process. I love your excitement for the patterns you make and I am the same way. Thank you for your educational videos! I just purchased this pattern at Love Notions and I think I bought 11 patterns over the past few months. I also purchased the Ballard pattern this morning after watching you make it.
Karina, thank you for another great video. I love the changes you made, especially in the hem👍👍. I have this pattern but have not tried it yet, it is jumping up in the “to sew” list. 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Love your videos Karina. Thank you 🙏
Oh, you definitely conveyed your joy in getting to tweak that new Presto! Beautiful new addition to your wardrobe. Great video.
Karina I am a bit behind but oh this shirt is just lovely! Well Done...You can really see the details. I just love it! 💜
Excellent content, as always; Thank you!
I appreciate your content so much you are an excellent seamstress. Thank you for all you do.
Another great video! I understand your happiness - it's fun and very gratifying to change up patterns and add your own touches! Your new Presto is lovely!
Love love love these changes! And I love pintucks! Excited to try this on several patterns... if I can get myself back into sewing! Your content is excellent. Thanks for providing so much helpful/useful information.
You can do it!
WONDERFUL
That turned out so good! I definitely want to try some of these ideas. Thanks for showing us your pattern changes!
Thanks for showing this top with an even hem, it's just what I have wanted to do (but haven't gotten to it yet).
Loved this!! Thanks so much for the ideas and the "how-to-do-its" I love being inspired by you!
Thanks so much!
That is a beautiful Presto Karina. Great video, as usual.
I really enjoy your enhancements to patterns and including the pattern making. You are an excellent seamstress.
Karina, thank you so much for this tutorial. I enjoy all your videos. Yes, your enthusiasm does come through. We enjoy seeing it. Thanks
Love this video ❤
I love your videos. Thanks a lot for your generositi.. i have learned so much, and definately feel your joy.🤩
Amazing hacks love what you have done. Have you done a video on how to straighten a curved hem?
Love the hacks you have added, just got the pattern using your link. Thanks again for all you do!
I tried your LoveNotions affiliate link but got error 404.
I apologise. I was using the link that was on the site before the update. I fixed the link now :)

Hi Karina, love your videos and so inspiring to buy the love notions patterns on friday. But I wanted to ask, I see this posted ( from my time zone) on friday 23:00 in the evening, which means I am seeing it about 1 hour before midnight to saturday. If I wanted to get the sale price and love notions is in the states, then I think I have to buy it between 23:00-05:00 my time. because the sale ends at I assume midnight in the states? Anyway, would it be possible for you publish these earlier in the day on fridays? (especially for those patterns that are not on sale all weekend)
Hi. Making each video takes me several days. I make about 9 videos a month and am working continuously. I publish them when they are finished. Sometimes I am able to publish a little earlier but other times it is impossible. Sales don't end at midnight... they end the next day during the morning.
Lovely job Karina! I am getting a 404 error when I click on your affiliate link. Is it just me?
I apologise. I was using the link that was on the site before the update. I fixed the link now :)
