How I Sewed my Basic Cami Top with Layered Detail
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 19 ก.ค. 2018
- Hi folks
In todays video I am showing how I made the cami top I mentioned in my July plans. I added a layered piece to give some interest to the basic design and I love how it turned out. I also tried out rolled hems, sewn on the overlocker, for the first time and they turned out super nice. This one, just like my last make is super quick and easy to make, takes very little fabric and is perfect to wear in beautiful hot weather, love it💕💕💕
Theres only one note I would add, if you’re going to give a cami a go yourself, is to stay stitch the neckline as I’ve made another version in a viscose fabric and the neckline stretched a little 😧😍…..
Anyway I hope you enjoy
Susanne ❤️

Fabric - Poly Koshibo - I hadn't heard of this fabric before, it feels and looks like lightweight crepe. I'll try to give a bit of an update on how the fabric wears and washes once I've tested it out a bit more.

Love this cami Suzanne! It's just like the now famous Ogden Cami :) and it would be super easy to adjust the Odgen to be layered like this one. The Ogden has a facing front and back. Beautiful! This is a style you can never have too many of in your wardrobe. I have 3 Ogdens and keep thinking I should make more.
Thanks so much Kathleen💕👍💕, I know what you mean about a cami being something you can never have too many of, I am on a roll with them at present and can't seem to stop😍👌
💕love it💕
Carol Ryan me too💕👍💕👍
Fantastic! 💕💐
Sandra French thanks so much 💕💕💕
CUTE!
Lovely, enjoyed the video. It turned out great. Have fun sewing, later.
Rosalind Hamilton thanks so much 💕👍💕 you too😍
Again, turned out beautiful straight from your block. I have yet to play with my rolled him on my serger, but need to play with it soon as I think it would be perfect for a project coming up.
Thanks so much NaturalDane💕👍💕 love that rolled hem function❤️, good with yours on your upcoming project🍀🍀🍀
Hi Suzanne, I love the double layer and the rolled hem. I would love for you to show what you did to adjust your overlocker to make the rolled edge if you could 👍. Lovely make as usual Suzanne 👌😍😘
Sally Dingle thanks so much 💕❤️💕 I have a couple more camisole tops in plan so I'll try to film how I set up the machine👍
Fab 💕
💕👍💕
very very nice enjoyed the video !!
Thanks so much irmtraut💕👍💕 It's so nice to hear that the video was enjoyable 💕
I've only just found your videos! I've watched several them now and have learned so many new techniques. However, in this Basic Layered Cami I found it hard to keep track of the different parts because everything was white. But I will keep watching. Thank you!

Quedó hermoso. Gracias
Beautiful
💕👍💕
That fabric is so pretty. Nice and airy. And yes a pattern would be appreciated, thank you
Charlene Colter 💕👍💕
This looks literally like the Ogden Cami from True Bias, if you're still interested :) the difference would be at the hemming and the length of the lining and shell to make the layering effect.
Love it and how would we do a rolled hem on a overlocker/ serger please if you could do a tutorial on it I would certainly appreciate it thank you for showing us how to make this lovely cami
louise lill thanks so much 💕👍💕I'll pop it on the list👍
Lovely
👍
So nice, would you show drafting of this pattern, good fit is so hard to find n camis?
Thanks so much iamrupal 💕👍💕 I had a lot of fitting, reworking, fitting and reworking the base pattern for this one (I made three before getting the pattern right) so I know what you mean😩 I'll pop it on the list 👍
Very cool
Thank you fatima arcaro💕👍💕
Great video! Love that top! What’s your way of turning straps? I managed not to swear last night but I came very close! Would love to hear your method. ❤️
Jan Spenno thanks so much 💕👍💕 I know exactly what you mean about trying not to swear😍 For these straps I double threaded a standard sewing needle with strong thread, knotted the thread, popped my needle into the fabric at one end, then used the needle (like you would a safety pin when inserting elastic) to thread through the channel. I used a similar method when pulling through my ties for my wrap dress, the only difference is I used the overlock thread👍👍👍 I hope this helps👍🍀👍
Love it I love to see the way you work too. So neat ❤️❤️
Thanks so much Doreen Tarry💕👍💕
Thanks for a great walkthrough!😍 I am understitching the neckline at the moment and have trouble getting all the way around at the "peaks" close to the straps... Do you have any useful tips? 😕
Thank you 💕👍💕 the curve won't allow you to sew the entire way up the "peak" I have just sewn as far up as I can and then a good press, this does the trick nicely for me👍👍👍
Well I have only just bought an overlocker a nd wondered why I was dithering. However today the thread to the upper looper ran out and there was mild panic here. Thank goodness it wasn’t the lower looper
I like To watch you ! It's great ! Thanks you so much
Thanks so much Béatrice Kervran💕👍💕
Very nice had you said earlier this was from a basic block Susanne?
Melinda Matos thanks💕❤️💕 I can't remember if I mentioned it in the video but I did indeed draft this one from my dartless bodice block👍👍👍
Hi Suzanne, thanks for your video I am using to make the top of my wedding dress! I am a 'under stitching the neckline' and I have snipped the neckline but I can't quite work out where I am sewing? Is this stitching visible at the front or do you sew it on the inside piece? Any assistance would be much appreciated! Thanks Jo
Would be helpful if you had different color of fabric for beginners to understand. White on white was little bit confusing.
Thanks for the feedback👍👍👍
I love watching your videos and you really inspire me to take time and care with my clothes. Do you mind if I ask, where are you from, Northern Ireland?
Brilliant make. You make it look so easy ;) How much fabric did you use?
Thanks so much GoGoHarris💕👍💕 I think I only used about 1m, or just over, of 60in wide fabric👍
You are so talented, love watching you do sew alongs, what pattern are you using for this cami?
Elizabeth Swan that's so lovely of you to say 💕👍💕 the pattern is self drafted 👍
Elizabeth Swan just to let you know the Ogden Cami by True Bias is very similar to this beautiful version if you don't draft your own patterns (hope that's ok to mention x)
👍👍👍
Chelbyuk thank you very much, very kind of you to let me know.
Hi Suzanne. What a lovely top. I have two questions though. Did you sew the back strap seam last because you checked the fit first? And did you make the top layer wider than the bottom layer at the side seams? So it doesn't end up to tight? I am very inspired to try myself! !!! Jayne
Jayne Burdeshaw thanks so much 💕👍💕 I popped the back strap in last so I could make sure it wouldn't be twisted (I had checked the fit on my toiles). When I made the toiles for this pattern I sewed the neckline and the straps all in one and ended up twisting one of the straps..😩 On my first toile I added 3mm to the outer layer at the side seams, in my second toile I forgot to add it and to me it looked and felt the same on so on this one I didn't add it, I suspect it depends on the weight of the fabric, mine was super lightweight 👍 I hope this helps and good luck with yours🍀🍀🍀
Sew Custom thanks. I'll try it!
Can you show us how to draft a bodice block
Suzanne do you have details of how you drafted the pattern ??
Not on my channel yet Wendy😩The drafting video has been requested for quite the while, hopefully I’ll get that filmed this summer🤔🤔🤔
Thanks. Would you be inclined to show us how to draft a bodice.
Phyllis Gordon, I would love to but don't think I have enough knowledge of block making to film the drafting process, however I can whole heartedly recommend the channel I used to draft mine, Diane Deziel here on TH-cam, she's a fantastic teacher, I've learned so much from her tutorials👍👍👍
🙌👏🤗
Would you pls share the machine setting numbers of your roll hem? Thanks so much.
How didi you make basic block and how to take measurements
What pattern did you use please
Please show us how you created this pattern...
Its on a rather long list already Gloria bebz 👍
How long did it take you to become an expert on making your own pattern?
IThats nice of you to say but I am strictly an amateur, just showing you guys as I learn👍 I started pattern hacking and playing around with patterns in 2017 and have been learning drafting ever since 👍
Pizza cutter!
I've always wanted to try one of those hems on my overlocker, but I'm afraid of altering all the dials and such! Your top is gorgeous, I love how good you are at drafting your own patterns, I hope to be able to do that one day! TFS xx
Hazel Kinvig-Paul thanks so much 💕👍💕I know what you mean about changing the dials, I've had my machine for about two years and this is the first time I've used it for this function for that very reason😩that's very kind of you to say💕
