Good morning, dear Sewing Friends! Happy spring and happy sewing!
Love your tutorial...Big thanks for sharing 👍 from Belfast Northern Ireland 😀
Oh hey. Someone just up the road from me. 👋😁 (I'm not in the Republic, but south of Belfast)
Thank you for spreading the "sewjo"!
I make these out of old silk (or cotton-silk blend) sarees. Sometimes, if the fabric is too light, I'll hem the bottom edge with bias tape to weigh it down a little. For some reason, I hadn't thought of making them with a round neckline, so I'm going to change things up and use your technique now! Thank you for the inspiration. :)
Your friend is blessed to have tou for a buddy!
I am blessed with her! :)
It is a very nice and easy project thank you Alisa for sharing it with us
I wish you were more on showing on how to do the armholes and how you did them.I LOVE TO WATCH YOUR VIDEOS.
I make something like this from polarfleece to use when I’m in my wheelchair.
That is an awesome idea, Kat, thank you!
@@ThoughtfulCreativity Thanks! I don’t sew any side seams in mine, just hem if I’m gifting or not if it’s for me since polarfleece doesn’t ravel. I’ve used these wraps to stay warm not just wearing but as an extra blanket for camping! LOL The last one I made is ankle length and wide enough that I can sit down and put four layers of fabric over my legs.
Again beautiful and as always beautiful material again
What a great idea! I was looking for a practical gift for my mil who has limitations due to a stroke. That would be easier to get on than a coat. We need more accessible type patterns like this for sure.
@@dawnkifer9712 I hear that! I’ve used all types of adaptive tools since 1987, and doing it whilst in a medieval dress! 😂 But there aren’t a lot of adaptive patterns out there.
It may not be your style but it looks really good on you! Love the tutorial, thank you 😊
Thank you so much 🙂 I do like it, even though it is not my style :) I am happy these fabrics (I had them for 7 years, my mom sent them to me, and she was totally happy with me using them for my friend) finally got the love and wear they deserved all these years :)
Thank you for another wonderful and easy project. ❤
Hi Alisa thank you I really need to make this, love you dear
Wonderful video. Great instructions. A beautiful result. Many thanks.
I love the way you explain your sewing tutorials, which are easy to follow. Thank you for sharing ❤
I have fallen in love with using a ban roll for doing a rolled hem. It means sewing all the hems twice, but for me I find the results well worth it.
Thanks for the tutorial! You always make everything seem possible!
@The Aussie Family probably. I’ve never seen it written down, and I’m hearing impaired, so I probably misheard it. Just looked it up and you’re right. I’ll edit my post. Thanks!
Great video! Last winter I took an old blanket scarf and turned it into a cape. Well, I didn't like it. I see now how I can improve it. Thank you for this video, I can redo it and make it wearable!♥️♥️♥️
I believe you have been hacked. Look at the comment below.
This is perfect for those hot summer days on top of a sleeveless top, tank you for the idea.
Alisa my sis, hope all is well, I’ve been so overwhelmed with my Mom’s health & life in general, but God is faithful❤️🙏🏽
Wonderful quick and easy project 😊 looks great! Thanks for the inspiration ❤
Hillevi, I am so happy to bring this to you! I have mapped out a few other quick and easy projects for the year and I can't wait to make them with you :)
Looks good for the early mornings when I get up and the place is COLD
Love it. Thank you 😊
Glad you enjoyed it!
This looks like a great project. I can’t wear synthetic fiber but I can do this with cotton, linen, or wool. You can use that part you tore out to make POCKETS!!
Omg, brilliant idea! Yes!!! :)
Just what i needed to use a pretty piece of fabric from a friend. Thank you.
Beautiful I love it
You look very nice in this garments! Greatings from Germany!🌸
Oh yay! I have an embarrassing amount of chiffon, and I wear cardigans with sleeveless dresses constantly daily. This is a perfect project for me.
You can also use a small strip of clear elastic ,so you wont rip the fabric . When sewing the elastic to the material do not stretch it. Hope this tip helps.
This is a very nice project for woman that like to wear these cover ups. I was given a crochet one that I always forget to wear. I also have a kind of a shawl that would work that I also forget to wear. The fabric feels like a type of wool with beautiful blue stitching that I think came from Iran. It's really beautiful and I always tell myself to wear it but I never do.
You are delightful; and creative (goes without saying) 😍
Beautiful perfect fabrics for this project.
Great tutorial 👍🌷🍀🌻🌿🏵
Another great video
Thank you for sharing, wonderful tutorial. Needed you in my life one year ago, I quit sewing because I struggled so bad.
Terrific project! I'll be on the lookout for a nice chiffon-like fabric to make one of these :)
Me 2 now I am going on the hunt so that I can make this very fun project. ❤❤❤
Thank you, for such an easy and nice tutorial!
Lovely Alisa, another great project with easy-to-follow directions.
I love your 'happy dance' at the completion of these projects.
You always make me smile.
Hi Alisa thank you so much dear I needed this video to make mine love you
I watch you whenever you are posting something. I have to admit I really enjoyed this greatly. This was really beautiful and can be made with ease.
I love wearing these cardi coverups because my favorite fabrics are silky types. I can’t wait to make this simple and easy wrap. Your instructions are so clear and helpful. Thanks for sharing!!!
I have some light summer fabrics I will use to make a couple of these! As always, thank you for the inspiration and encouragement, dear Alisa! ❤️
Have fun! Made in fleece could be a cosy "wearable" blanket for those cold winters :)
Oooooh! Great idea! Cause what do you know... I have some fleece laying around as well 🤣🤣🤣
Ps: will go together great with some nice tea and a cozy candle ❤️
I needed this video so much! I was planning to sew a chiffon beach cover-up for my next month's vacation, and when I started my research, all I could find was "don't even think about delicate fabrics when you're a beginner, it's a nightmare to work with and you'll fail miserably." You have brought my courage back! Gotta go order my fabrics now! Thanks! 🥰
Theyre gorgeous!
Thank you for this fun video!! I'm only one year into sewing, so I really appreciated this easy to sew clothing tutorial!!!! Beautiful
So beautiful ❤
Thankyou so much! I live on a tropical island and these cover ups are very popular and somewhat pricey! Now I can make my own! Love your channel! Thankyou for this video!!!❤️
Love this! I am going to use one of my many bathing suit sarongs to make this. The edges and bottom will already be hemmed so it will be easy to make.
Sounds great!
Love your videos and wonderful ideas! You're an excellent teacher! Thank you for all your hard work!
Love the coverups, and great tutorial! I also loved the Lynda Carter/Wonder Woman twirl! :D
Love this! My favorite is the tan back ground! Love, love that fabric!
hello lovely project ❤i usted to make this and sell them years ago this are perfect to wear any time .❤❤
I pull out the back away from the front whilst it’s still folded and just cut down the fold.
Love this!
Just found your channel, absolutely love it. You make everything so easy to understand and interesting. You've really inspired me to have a go at things I've never tried before, thank you. X
Lovely.
Great tip for using the tissue. 👍🏾 I'm gonna try that. I've made this cover up using thrifted scarves. It's beginner friendly and I love the instant gratification that results from this project. Nice video😊
This looks fantastic! Now I know what I’m going to do with a gorgeous rayon gauze I bought years ago because it was so beautiful.
I made these a few years ago but I didn't remove anything of the center front...I cut it down the middle front and it made a beautiful waterfall look. I also serged the raw edges and turned them over once. Very easy.
So creative! Love your tutorials!
Goodmorning
Good morning, Tamara!
I like the way that you showed how to rip the fabric to get an even front cut without having to open it back up and realign the side seams, marking, etc. (Though I guess you'd have to do that with a heavier fabric), it really makes this easier and is different from other tutorials I've seen.
Ah, good thought! yes, with heavier fabrics would need to do it anyway, but then again you could potentially cut it very carefully as is, just making sure you don't cut the layer underneath.
I appreciate the neck opening idea. I have a kimono style top that has been on hold while I make up my mind about the neckline.
I love it, I need to make one
This is really nice. I am a relatively new subscriber /watcher. Where are you from? I'm trying to figure out your accent. (I love it!) You are truly creative!
I use almost the exact same dimensions and make coats from fleece and denim in this style. I also add a hood and pockets. Then I use elastic button loops to close it up. My dimensions are the width of the fabric (60") x 50" wide. I have a very narrow arm span so 25 in on each side is more than enough for me.
Oh wow, how fun!!! Hood and pockets sounds like a GREAT addition, from what I am picturing in my mind it almost looks like a poncho then, right? :) I loooove this idea! THANK YOU!
I love it. And have to make some for me ❤
How much fabric did you use for it? Are 2 metres enough?
Oh I have just the fabrics for this
Wondering how this would work if you used two different fabrics, making it reversible? Also, you are brave to cut and tear the fabric :)
Interesting thought, Angel! I would not do it with chiffon, because it would probably sag, and also it is way too lightweight and see through, I can see this play out interestingly with medium weight fabric, you would sew all edges right sides together of the both layers and leave a little opening to turn it right side out and then stitch the opening closed. Also, there are double sided fabrics that could be great for this, too :)
Those colors look good on you !
I actually made something like this a while back with some chiffon but unfortunately (lol noob mistake; I didn't know then what I know now) I didn't reinforce the side seams and it came apart on me. I haven't restitched it yet, but someday... 😅
👍👍👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for another happy video... I love watching your videos...
May I ask... What sewing machines do you have and which one is your favourite... I am looking for a new machine... Myne is to old so it's time for an upgrade... I'm looking for advice and opinions on which one to choose...
Dalyn, hello there, open the description.of the video - my sewing gmachine make and model is there. I can't really suggest much or give advice on which sewing machine was better from such a wide variety, because I have only sewn with this sewing machine for nearly 10 years + a serger and a cover stitch - you can find videos about them on my channel :)
@@ThoughtfulCreativity thank you very much... I understand... There are so many different ones to choose from and everyones needs are different... But that already helps thank you
I love your tutorials and I am ready to dive in! I’m looking for a wrap style peplum top. Do you have a tutorial / pattern for something like that?
Kristin, hello there! What you can do is to 1)click on my channel name 2) then once you are on my channel page you can click on "video" tab 3) you will see all drafting and seiwng tutorials there, and you can even search through them to find what you want :) don't forget that you can combine tutorials to get the look that you want. Happy sewing :)
Traditionally called a ruana. Very common in SA
Hi! Is this one size fits all? I am an XS/S. Do I need to make any changes to the measurements you mentioned? And how did you finish the neck round? is it done the same way you hemmed the outer edges of the cardi?
I have beautiful sheer chiffon fabrics that would make great cardigans or cover. Only thing is that material is soooo moving that it's so irritating & frustrating to handle.
🙏🏽💕💕
Hi
I am from the uk and watch all your videos Which I absolutely love, I am only 5 foot tall and no dress fits me well at all. I would love to make a summer dress but don’t know how to go about drafting a pattern for it please help xx
Yvonne, hello there :) Go ahead and start with a bodice block with dart tutorial, once you have your bodice block done - then you can draft any dress, top or jacket from it and I have A TON of tutorials for it on the channel :) it will help you out!
Oh, Alisa, I hate sewing chiffon. Give us som tips about sewing on chiffon?
I soak mine in a gelatin solution, which makes them stiff. It makes it incredibly easy to work with the fabric, and then just rinses out. Do a search online and you will find many recipes for soaking in gelatin.
Wher you find this bit full chiffon please answer 8f can
Mam,which country u are from?
