Hi Karina. I loved all 3 of your tops, my favourite is the red pattern one. Thank You so much for sharing all your sewing tips ... it really does help those of us who do not have the confidence in dressmaking to make a garment, and wear it proudly. 🐶
This pattern is really good to scrap busting and raglan sleeve construction. Having not so densely patterned material and colour contrast of the fabric makes it easy to show the stitches. The final three garments are both attractive and good to use everyday. I am more interested in tops. I would like to suggest you to keep the subjects separate in videos. The first subject is flat measuring the pattern (which is in the headline), the second subject is this very versatile T-shirt pattern which I would like to watch when I need ideas again, but I can not find it by its name when I look through your videos again because it has a different headline. I hope you get what I mean. If you can classify the videos for T-shirts, dresses, skirts and pants, it would be helpful when we try to find some detail in your (now) vast video archive. I have been watching you for a couple of years, I think I have watched almost all of the videos. Thanks for your hard work, enthusiasm, love of sewing and wonderful smile... 🤗🤗🤗
I have many playlists on the channel for different types of garments. The title can only take a few characters and I chose the most important topic, in this case the flat measurements. I have not shown this in other videos and that is why I prioritized it for the title. I am working on organizing it all on my website. About the format: I can’t do separate videos for the sewing techniques because no one watches them if they are separate from an actual pattern. I have proved this over and over again.
Raglan has long been my favorite construction for a long time but I've never seen it in wovens. I'm going to be looking for this pattern! All 3 of your versions are gorgeous but I love the "muslin" the best! Thank you for this wonderful video!
All 3 are winners Karina. I love simple patterns like that that showcase the fabric. I could see making few of those. And a big thanks for the fitting tips. Those were a great help.
Karina, I love all your versions so much! Your muslin one I like a lot, I like how you did the see through curved piece on the bottom in the back. It is great that you do things because you are using scraps, but you make it as an intentional design feature every time. It's brilliant. Your favorite one is also my favorite one. I like everything about it. Thanks so much for sharing this video. Take care and God Bless.
Karina I loved the tutorial! Measuring patterns always kill my spirit!! Now I see how it’s done! Love all your tops beautiful fabric! Thanks for all your tips that were shown also 🤗😀
Measuring can become second nature if done over and over and it’s so worth it when there are doubts. I find that I can trust the finished garment measurements provided in indie patterns but for big 4 this is a must for me :)
Absolutely love raglan sleeves and I have a ton of woven fabric this would look great with. I will definitely be looking for this pattern! Thanks for the great video. I always learn something and I've been sewing a long time!
I have been trying to fit this pattern for 4 days now. I think I almost have it. Need to get rid of drag lines under bust.I am short,large bust and narrow shoulders. I have cut size 18 and 20 and even a 22. Did a FBA on all of them. Finally just slashed and spread 2 inches above my bust line which is almost 2 inches above the pattern bust line. I have measured and remeasured. It has been a nightmare but I think I finally have it. As much sewing as I have done I should have an entire wardrobe by now!! I have big plans to hack this pattern along with the original pattern designs. So simple. So basic. So hack-able.I will not give up!! LOL
Awesome job Karina! Will def be getting an making this top. Love them all. Wonderful use of another color block spot to lengthen the back on the blue one. Goes great and looks like its supposed to be that way due to the sleeves being color blocked also. :)
Great pattern suggestions and ideas on getting the most out of your pattern. (I just don't understand why there are thumbs down for this video - but please don't take it to heart - they still count as positive as far as You Tube is concerned)
All three are lovely and you look great! I think I have this pattern but don't know how to do a forward shoulder adjustment. I'll have to do some research and give it a try. Your staystiching advice is spot on. Back in the day most big four patterns would give direction to staystitch as the first step when working on each pattern piece. Thank you for pointing out this good practice.
The few patterns I’ve made haven’t been consistent in construction order but I have it hardwired in my brain. Maybe you could sew the sleeve and drape the dart excess on yourself to match where your shoulder is 😄
Hi Katrina, I have just watched your video for the first time. I have this pattern but been a bit nervous about doing it but you have given me the faith to try it. Thank you for sharing. X
I just read your Member In Focus from Pattern Review and was so inspired by your sewing/history. Thank you for mentioning your TH-cam Channel Your tutorials are great they are just what I was looking for to help me with my sewing journey. Blessing from California.
Gorgeous! I'm lucky I already own this pattern too and you've really inspired me to head to my sewing room and get to sewing. They all look fabulous, thanks for showing the muslin and fitting tips. Limitless inspiration from our sewing friend in Brazil, Karina!
I have this pattern too. I did make the longer sleeves in a very thin black crinkle knit and I like the effect. I agree about the sleeve darts and made the same adjustments that you did for that and also the neck. 🙌🏼
Lovely tops Karina! You always give great tips on fitting to your body...it helps us fit our own bodies too! Thank you for that! I believe I have this pattern in my stash...have to go check and see!
I got this pattern earlier this summer and love it - thanks for this! I ran into the whole boxy raglan shoulder thing with another McCall's pattern earlier this summer. I appreciate knowing about this before putting it together. Beautiful! Thanks!
I have this pattern and it was one of my favorites this summer. I did color blocking and did the view with the pocket and love it. Totally forgot it had a long sleeve version so I think I will pull it out and make one for fall.
I’m not done with this pattern and want to see a way to lengthen the panel with adding too much width to the style. I’ll probably make a long sleeve one eventually too 😁
@@LiftingPinsandNeedles Just wondering if you could triangulate in on the back panel to reduce too much width for a dress? All three are lovely. I already have this pattern and your shoulder tweak looks exactly like what I'll need, too! Thanks! Time to sew!
I've looked at this pattern and thought it might be interesting to make and the three versions you made have convinced me because they are all lovely! I have several fabrics in my stash that will work perfectly. Thanks for sharing, Karina!
This is an awesome pattern review and instructions! I have to find the pattern as I love woven tops and you've done so great with fitting tips! Thank you! !
Love them! I have a raglan sleeve knit but not a woven pattern. I will have to see if I can find this because I like the way the sleeve fit. Woven tee done to the T from our friend, thank you!
I’d done the meg raglan woven tee from style arc but that one has a bigger looser sleeve and boxier fit. I also like it a lot but this one has that little something extra 😁
Thank you for watching. I live in 100 degree weather and won’t be doing long sleeves at this point when the pattern and construction is exactly the same actually. There is nothing different there. I’m not a fan of angled slits aesthetically and with sewing, the whole point is making what we like. Sewing and showing every single version in a pattern is just not possible for me. I hope you can see that.
When fabric touches my collarbones it makes me super uncomfortable and hot also. I like a mid range only. No deep plunging ones 😊. Thank you so much for watching.
That was such a great instructional video. You are an excellent sewist! I always shy away from thin woven fabrics, but you have inspired me. Do you use a three thread overlock stitch on the thinner fabrics? I am new to sergering and usually use the four thread. Any good tips would be appreciated.
I’ve looked at this pattern but been unsure but I will definitely get it after seeing your makes, they look so good, I’m not sure I can pick a favourite, they would all look good in different situations. I love the idea that you can use scraps of leftover fabric too, especially fabric you love but haven’t got enough to make a full garment with. I liked your idea about using broiderie anglaise (eyelet?) for the bodice. I have some stretch lace but not much, do you think that would work for the sleeves? What about the panels? I suppose that should be woven should it? Thanks for your help in improving my sewing Karina
Another great make! I’ll have to check out that pattern. I’ve noticed that sometimes there are issues with big 4 patterns. It makes me wonder if someone really tests these patterns before releasing them.
I think the actual patterns need to be measured before sewing that’s all. A few extra steps but worth it. I’ve had great results so far, as long as I don’t make the size they say to make 😄. They have a different process and use a standard b cup fit model for the drafting of the patterns. They are professionally drafted and graded.
I like this pattern and your wearable toile is my favourite! There’s something odd going on with the left hand front seam on the chiffon one. Do you think it would be a good idea to stay stitch that seam on chiffon fabric as well as the neck? It is slightly on the bias. Chiffon and I have a love/hate relationship! I enjoy watching how you make alterations to fit you specifically. So helpful.
I used a crepe for the white/black one, it’s not chiffon and yes, it could’ve stretched on one side and stay Stitching is never wrong 😁. If it were chiffon I would’ve stay stitched for sure.
I love your tops. I have this pattern and some woven in my stash. You made it look very easy; I think I’ll sew this pattern soon. Your tips and tutorials are always so clear. Thanks for sharing.
Fab makes and instructions. When you put the seam so they lay opposite to stop bulk how do you iron this.I always find seams like this difficult to iron flat
On the underarm? I use my tailors small long pressing board and press carefully. I really Don’t feel any issue in the underarm and that’s the area I’ll have seams going opposite directions. Thanks for watching 😊.
Karina is it possible to change a waistline from below your bellybutton to a high waisted item? I want the itch to stick woven joggers but I want to make them to fit at my natural waistline xx
Everything is possible and specially with that style that is elasticated. The pockets would need to be modified too. I’m the opposite, I prefer mid rise as my torso is so short.
I didn’t have one for the first 10 years of my sewing and coped well with a zig zag stitch on the edges. There is also the option of French seams. I have a serger now and that is why I show sewing with one. I’m doing the best that I can to share practical sewing and I’ll never be able to please everyone that watches. I won’t be sewing without a serger at this point. Thanks for watching 😊.

You are a sewing wonder woman. Your attention to detail is fantastic. Gorgeous tops. I love the style lines!
Thank you so much 😊. I really enjoyed this one and hence three! I would’ve made more too 😀
That pattern is on sale for $1.99 so I will go buy it tomorrow. Love all your versions.Thanks for the inspiration.
Love your videos and your lovely raglan sleeved t-shirts. I think I want one now!
They are so easy to sew and wear :)
Hi Karina. I loved all 3 of your tops, my favourite is the red pattern one. Thank You so much for sharing all your sewing tips ... it really does help those of us who do not have the confidence in dressmaking to make a garment, and wear it proudly. 🐶
The confidence will come and practice will make every single project better than the previous 😄. Thank you so much for watching.
I learn so much from you!! Thank you for another great video.

Those are all super cute Karina, I LOVE the muslin one the best because i love the print of that fabric!
Isn’t the muslin always the best he he...when it fits 😃. Thank you so much 😊
I think the muslin is the prettiest

Thank you so much 😊. I have a bag of scraps and it’s fun to dive in there and see what garments can come out of there. I’m a hoarder 😁.
Tackling this one today, have had the pattern for awhile. Thanks for this video
You’ll love it :)

Cheers Mary

It's clever how you added the extension to the back of the toile. I like all the versions you made, and I appreciate your modeling them.
Thank you so much 😊. I feel that showing the garment on can’t be skipped.
Awesome job Karina! Will def be getting an making this top. Love them all. Wonderful use of another color block spot to lengthen the back on the blue one. Goes great and looks like its supposed to be that way due to the sleeves being color blocked also. :)
Thank you so much 😊. Color blocking is so much fun and especially when scraps are utilized.
Really nice pattern and fabrics. The black-and-white also my favourite.
Thank you so much 😊

Beautiful! I also love raglan sleeves. 🌺
They are so easy and pretty 😆
Such a nice top, casual yet sophisticated!! Wanting to see the eyelet ine!!
Me too! It’s blue :) and I have the same color eyelet and rayon to mix up.
I already have this pattern but have preferred to make other (jersey) makes. Now that I have seen this I will give it a go! ❤️👍
I’m usually a woven person he he. I do like the occasional knit project but my stash is mainly wovens :)
Thank you. The measuring and altering tips are really helpful.
I’m so glad. Measuring helps avoids fails. Worth the extra time always. Thanks for watching 😊.
You are so talented. Beautiful work.que Dios te bendiga en todo.
Muchas gracias!
Lovely tops Karina! You always give great tips on fitting to your body...it helps us fit our own bodies too! Thank you for that! I believe I have this pattern in my stash...have to go check and see!

Thank you so much 😊. I’m sure you’ll love it.
Hello Karina. Love the tops all the changes you made, some out of necessity, some creatively. I am sure I will be making up a few of these.
The necessity ones sometimes are the most unique and I love doing that. Thank you so much 😊
The tops turned out great! Thanks for showing how to lower the neckline.
Thank you so much 😊
Thank you for sharing your tips and tricks
Love what you do
Thank you so much 😊
Karina, I love your sewing. Can u show us in more details how u made such a perfect n comfortable looking neckline in your next video?Thanks
Great makes.
Thank you so much 😊
Wow a fantastic pattern you’ve sold it too me it could be just the thing for my extended holiday in Spain this winter 😊😎 love B 🐝 xxx
Super comfy and I’m sure you’ll love it 😊
The Raynon checked top looks great on you.
Thank you so much 😊. I love the colors there.
So cute, thank you for all of your great tips.

I am learning a lot.
For sure :). I can do that. Thanks for the suggestion.

Thank you so much 😊. It’s great that you have it!
I have that patterns and yours are beautiful so I am going to try it.
Yay! You’ll love it :)
I love them! They all look great. I’m going to buy the pattern. I have some crepe in my stash that would look really nice as that top
Yay! You’ll enjoy it :)

Thank you so much 😊
They all lopk great but I love the muslin one best 😁 I wonder if there is a basic raglan woven top without the panels? May have to have a look xx
I’m sure the panels can be eliminated by pinning the pattern pieces like I did to measure them. That essentially turns it into one piece 😁
