    Omg......yes , yes and YESSSS. That's exactly why I started back sewing I have a few perfectly fitting tops that I just love so much but never, ever find any that fits so perfectly , that's I told my husband I will have to sew my own . Girrrrrl , well that's exactly what I did . I have one I sew I practically lives in. You are just so right , I have to comment. I love your channel . Your method is so easy for beginners like so me .......looking forward to your next video sweetie , ❤❤❤❤❤

      Go for it. The fullness can be taken anywhere And I’m keen to do this again soon.

    Another nice hack. Made me smile to see how happy I are, esp. With the red one on the cropped trousers. How great is it, to have an outfit that feels so right. 💕

    I LOVE that red top! The other one is cute, but the red one shows the details so much better -- as you said -- and red looks amazing on you! I may have to try that. I did order the pattern.

    • @LiftingPinsandNeedles
      @LiftingPinsandNeedles  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thank you so much 😊. I know solids show the details best, but I’m a sucker for prints and it’s harder to get the basics sewn.

  • @nadinewoods6971
    @nadinewoods6971 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I really enjoyed this tutorial! You could use this concept with any standard top pattern. It would be so easy to use elastic in the front neckline (adjusted to the size you need) and just tack a tie to the front to make it look like a drawstring. It had never occurred to me to just make a portion of the neckline gathered like that. Really great video and really lovely tops!!!

    • @LiftingPinsandNeedles
      @LiftingPinsandNeedles  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yup. Any top with a dart somewhere. The sky is the limit. The elastic would be so much easier, but I wanted to push myself this time :)

    • @dale3404
      @dale3404 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      I was thinking the same about the elastic. Lazy sewing on my part. 😊

  • @dianerincon3196
    @dianerincon3196 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Today I’m going to try this on a wearable (?) muslin. It’s a challis fabric I ordered online which is totally sacrificial. I’m also going to try a Rhapsody Blouse 3/4 sleeve. I’m excited. Thank you for this idea and tutorial!

  • @dale3404
    @dale3404 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thanks for this video. I’m saving it for future reference. I also like the back seam because it makes for a more flattering fit. I think you could have sewn the casing with the tie inside and therefore have not needed to leave any opening which would need to be closed.

  • @janmiller1850
    @janmiller1850 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Gorgeous! I think you will be sewing this lovely top for all the ladies in your family now. 😻😻😻 So if you loosen the tie, does it widen the U neck? Was really interesting how you engineered the neck volume. Love it. 💚💚💚

    Thank you! I have just finished a dress I might never had tried, except for your tips and encouragement! It is made of a rayon challis and very "slinky - bendy." I kept the selvedges very straight as I cut it out, and used lots of spray starch. I made bias tape, too! It is lovely, I feel I have learned new skills, thanks to you!

    • @LiftingPinsandNeedles
      @LiftingPinsandNeedles  4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Wow how exciting! The sky is the limit now. I’m so happy for your achievement.

  • @39houndsteps
    @39houndsteps 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Hi Karina. The red top is a great “copy” of the RTW. And it is definitely an improvement in many ways on the original. The finishing is much classier and the length and fit is superior.
    I also love the practice version. I particularly love that you cut the bird’s head off so you can’t tell it’s a bird on the back of practice top (lol. Just joking) 😏

  • @hjkennaugh
    @hjkennaugh 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I loved this method. I know how to do it so will have a try. I am wondering what kind of fabric you used as it is so difficult not being able
    to touch fabric at the moment. What would I search for online please.

    • @LiftingPinsandNeedles
      @LiftingPinsandNeedles  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      This is rayon/linen blend light weight. Super drapy fabric. I want to do this again in navy blue :)

  • @susanroome5020
    @susanroome5020 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    That looks great and I have this pattern - I love it but found the sleeveless armholes too big. The sleeved pattern is wonderful so if I make a sleeveless, I use the sleeved version which works fine. I'm going to try this gathered version of your - thanks for sharing!

    @lily99654 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    So, I won't need a side dart at all even though I'm an F cup? I have made the Harmony top, and the full bust pattern required a 4" wide bust dart for me.

    • @LiftingPinsandNeedles
      @LiftingPinsandNeedles  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      For a larger dart, you could transfer part of the dart to the neckline and keep part of it on the side. I think it would distribute the space better. I’m only a C cup.
