😱 I would have been freaking out! If you wouldn't have said anything we wouldn't have known that you had an oops. It turned out sooo lovely Karina! Well Done! Just beautiful 👏🏾!!
Don’t think my brain would have worked after that! Don’t think I’d have been able to think of that option! Omg I would have been freaking out. I think it turned out gorgeous , and love the fabric😅
I recently helped a student carefully cut out a Kalle Dress upside down! The print was VERY directional , with large owls who would have been hanging upside down like bats!! The pattern cutting diagram did have all the pieces facing the same way, but we didn't notice which way we laid the fabric!! With some very careful piecing we managed to turn it around but it wasn't easy and it wouldn't have been possible if we didn't have a little extra yardage.
Great fit. Your niece looks so cute in hers. Your boo boo turned out perfect. I agree that the tie in the back helps with some waist definition. I have been learning so much from your videos. Thank you for all of your hard work.
It is so great to hear how you walk thru mistakes and the lo little finishing touches you do. Really appreciate them! That sweater looks fantastic on you! I absolutely love your fabric!
I'm so glad you caught the problem while you could still complete the cardigan, albeit with an altered collar band. Phew! 😹😹😹 Maybe you will make the shawl collar version with another fabric one day, though this one is gorgeous. That decorative belt was genius. Thanks, Karina. 💚💚💚
@@LiftingPinsandNeedles I tend to agree re that look. To me (and it's just a personal thing) a cardie that lies flat but with inches open in the front just looks too small, as if the wearer "outgrew" it, but is wearing it anyway. Hah but that's just me. 😻😻😻
I feel like I can really relate to you in that you are such a perfectionist! Don’t be so hard on yourself! You always make the best of whatever challenges face you. You’ve taught me so much and I am so appreciative!
Karina, please know that I am appreciating all your hard work in your videos. I've watched the "Make Easy Pants" videos and they are very helpful and informative and I'll bet the videos were not easy to make. I am learning so much from you; such as your pinning method which looks like it would save time and be very efficient. All those little things you mention while explaining a technique matter quite a bit. Thanks so much for being my sewing mentor.
I just love all your details! I truly learn something from every one of your videos! My thoughts an leopard print match yours exactly! 😁 Your cardigan turned out lovely! I love having the tie tied in back like that, too. And I also love how you style all your clothes! I'm still at the stage where I have a bunch of pieces, but not a lot of matching possibilities. But I'm having fun learning and sewing random pieces. Soon enough there will be more matches. 😊P.S. Thank you for the pants series! I can only imagine....!
That is a beautiful cardigan. I have been looking for a pattern that is not boxy and meets in the middle. You always make the best garments and exceptional explanations. Thank you, Katrina 🧵.
Your insights on patterns are always so helpful. You pointed out the waist shaping and the fact that the cardigan meets in the middle, that's key for me. Thanks so much. Used your affiliate link to buy. I don't know how you manage to produce so many excellent videos all on your own. Don't burn yourself out, we need you! :)
Thanks for watching my video. I am very driven and high energy. I also have an older boy who does not need me as much as before and a family that is very supportive of my efforts. Hubby makes lunch when I’m busy 😀... we all clean the house....
It is so wonderful to hear that you make mistakes, but instead of putting the garment aside or getting rid of it, you find a way to save. Many times, mistakes bring about great garments that are unique and marvelous. Kudos for you. Your cardigan is very elegant and you look lovely in it. I ordered a couple of Love Notions patterns through your affiliate link (I hope). They don't say affiliate when ordering. I asked them in an email, but received no response. I hope you receive what is owed to you. If it weren't for your vlogs, I would not have known about this pattern company In fact, I would not have given a second glance to several of the companies that you use. Thank you for your consideration of pros and cons to each pattern that you work with. It is most helpful.
If you click on the link, all the purchases are credited to me as a referral and I get an email about a second after the purchase is made. I don’t know who purchased but I do get the % commission. It’s a reliable system. Thank you so much for your support.
One more question about your affiliate link. If I click on the link under your video, does this apply only to the featured pattern? Or if I purchase more patterns from the company do you receive your percentage? I would like to purchase several that you have sewn, but would prefer to purchase all at once. Thank you.
i love love that material it was cool to see how u dealt with a possible mistake i also love the mittered corners i have never used a twin needle i will have to look up how to go about it thank you for showing how to do all that its great
Thank you for making this video. I had not bought this pattern before even though I looked and looked at the pattern. The line drawings look like bathrobes to me and I was afraid that I would hate it when I finished. I bought both the girls and ladies patterns today.
I think the pattern could be a bathrobe too! It’s all about the fabric. Make it in that towel material and a pastel color = bathrobe .... but a nice fitting one!
@@LiftingPinsandNeedles or a shiny satin material. Today I am cutting this pattern out in a dark gray ribbed sweater knit for my oldest granddaughter's 17 birthday.
I made exactly the same mistake Karina, and fitted the narrower band too. I thought all was lost, but I love it! thanks for all the sewing tips, I frequently look for one of your videos to help me through a pattern.
Love how this turned out even though you made a boo boo! I call those design elements or choices. It was a great save! I've had to make some design choices myself 😳 😉
So beautiful Karina! The print and colours on that fabric are gorgeous and on you!? Amazing! Lovely paired with your steel gray skirt and bright blue knit top. What a success! Some great tips too re how to narrow a band if you run out of fabric - we all know what that's like :)
I downloaded this pattern this morning and I was so pleased when you're video pop up on my notifications 😊 The cardigan looks very good. Obrigada pelo seu sorriso tão bonito 👍
Love this cardigan, used your link to buy it, have tried making a cardigan before and sad to say I didn’t finish it, it’s shoved in a cupboard somewhere, so I’m looking forward to attempting this one.and you made it look quite achievable for me so wish me luck. Yours looks beautiful , I like the narrower band it turned out good. I especially like the way you do those mitre’s. Thanks for another great video.
Do you have a suggestion for how much to size up for making this out of polar fleece? I live in a cold climate and that would be so cozy with the hood 💚
I cut two of this cardigan a few weeks ago. One has the shawl collar. For the other, I was short of fabric and cut a band...just as you did. I hope mine turns out as nice as yours! I always love your fabrics...do you buy in South America? Thanks for this video!
Hi i watch you a lot the only comment other than I have learned a lot from you. i do not want to have to try and print off patterns on my computer do you ever use patterns that are not the kind that you have to print yourself
Katherine McBride There is a benefit to printing off these patterns. They come with very clear instructions and even videos for the trickier bits. The independent pattern companies are quite responsive if you are having any trouble. If you don't want to (or can't) print from home and tape it together there is usually an option to take the file to a print shop and have it printed on large paper. Some independent pattern companies also offer the patterns in envelopes. (Tilley and the Buttons is one). I find the indie patterns to have easy to follow instructions and pictures. They usually offer several different options for a look and you'll find others who "hack" the pattern and share what/how they've done it. I know Karina has sewn garments using Big 4 patterns. I find them more difficult to follow but I am new to sewing. The great thing about watching Karina's videos is that you'll learn something in every one. Good luck with your sewing!
Hi Katherine. I live in Brazil and the only patterns available to me are the ones I print myself. I don not have access to paper patterns and only have a few that have been sent to me by friends (Commercial patterns). The bulk of my sewing is using indie patterns. I don't mind printing and they can also be sent to a printing service . These files come in large paper format too.
What kind of seam finish would you recommend for those of us who don't have a serger? I do have an overlocking stretch stitch on my sewing machine. Should I go around each piece with that first and then stitch if the machine does not eat the fabric when it is a single layer? Other ideas? Tky so much
I’ve always just used a zig zag when I don’t have a serger. It’s uses less thread and it’s faster. You need to practice different settings on scraps first.
These two patterns are $5 each Friday 19th June 2020 only.

Makes me think you could make a beach cover up out of it with a burnout knit. Love your videos - so glad I learned about you!
😱 I would have been freaking out! If you wouldn't have said anything we wouldn't have known that you had an oops. It turned out sooo lovely Karina! Well Done! Just beautiful 👏🏾!!
I was freaking out! Until I calmed down and saw there was a solution with the small amount I actually had available, whew 😅
Don’t think my brain would have worked after that! Don’t think I’d have been able to think of that option! Omg I would have been freaking out. I think it turned out gorgeous , and love the fabric😅
I did freak out for a hot minute lol. But there’s always a way :)

With some very careful piecing we managed to turn it around but it wasn't easy and it wouldn't have been possible if we didn't have a little extra yardage.
I hadn't thought of doing a tie in the back to create some waist shape. That is a great idea. It might make me look slimmer too!! Thanks so much.
It’s a small little add on that can go on any cardigan and it’s super flattering.
Lovely cardigan, great outfits you put together. Those blue shoes are fabulous!!! xxxx
Great solution. It's all about problem solving and making it work.
Yes. I don’t give up :)
So helpful to see how you handled your oopsie. Cardigan looks lovely!
I was very distraught for a second until I calmed down 😓. I’m glad it’s still very nice
Great fit. Your niece looks so cute in hers. Your boo boo turned out perfect. I agree that the tie in the back helps with some waist definition. I have been learning so much from your videos. Thank you for all of your hard work.
She’s adorable. I can’t really post proper photos of her because she’s a minor. The photos don’t do the cuteness justice.
It is so great to hear how you walk thru mistakes and the lo little finishing touches you do. Really appreciate them! That sweater looks fantastic on you! I absolutely love your fabric!
Thank you so much 😊. I go through errors all the time 😄
The cardigan looks great on you. Thanks for showing how to miter and topstitch a corner with the twin needle.
My pleasure. I’m glad you liked it :)
I'm so glad you caught the problem while you could still complete the cardigan, albeit with an altered collar band. Phew! 😹😹😹 Maybe you will make the shawl collar version with another fabric one day, though this one is gorgeous. That decorative belt was genius. Thanks, Karina. 💚💚💚
I was very relieved once I measured and figured out it would work. I was afraid the cardi wouldn’t meet in the center.

I think this is the nicest 3 piece outfit especially with the grey skirt. Congratulations
I’m glad you liked it. Thank you so much 😊
Print and colors are lovely, and it looks so great on. Even with a little miss, you always make it work, and I do like that. Thanks for showing:-)
Thank you so much 😊. I don’t give up easily. I make mistakes like everyone 😁

Distraction happens to all of us :)
Love the colors and print. It looks great on you. Now I need to sew me a cardigan.
Thank you so much 😊
Thank you for all the tips.
You’re very welcome 😉
Another great video. Love your helpful hints. I need to make one too!!! Thx!!
Go go for it . You’ll love it

I love your fabric. Thank you for the tips on the square corner and turning with double points.
i love love that material it was cool to see how u dealt with a possible mistake i also love the mittered corners i have never used a twin needle i will have to look up how to go about it thank you for showing how to do all that its great
Twin needles are great for knits because the type of stitch stretches :)
Thank you for teaching how to do mitered corners. THANK YOU for teaching me the "how to's" of sewing.
You’re very welcome 😉
The cardigan is beautiful. You enable me so much with the Love Notions patterns. I see what you’ve made , then I want one.
☺️ it’s about honor to inspire :)

Fabulous fix! Proud of you girl!
Love it. Good safe. I also like to wear belts on cardigans as you show here, for exactly same reason. 💕
Super flattering:)
I am always appreciative of all,your tips and tricks. Awesome vlog.
Thank you so much 😊
Love how this turned out even though you made a boo boo! I call those design elements or choices. It was a great save! I've had to make some design choices myself 😳 😉
Yes, design element sounds good! I actually wanted this pattern hack free lol
Beautiful! I love this! You did so well. I’ll bet you enjoyed wearing it this winter.
Thanks for great class. You are so clever and beautiful. The cardigan looks and fits ready for leisure time. Enjoy.
Thank you so much 😊. I really love it!
Love your channel and all your makes.
Love this color!
Me too!!
So beautiful Karina! The print and colours on that fabric are gorgeous and on you!? Amazing! Lovely paired with your steel gray skirt and bright blue knit top. What a success! Some great tips too re how to narrow a band if you run out of fabric - we all know what that's like :)
I felt for a split second that I’d ruined it 😢. Serves me right for being distracted. I’m so happy it worked out :)

Obrigada você pelas palavras lindas!
I have this pattern. Can't wait to try it!

The band looks fabulous so I like your boo boo save.
Thank you so much 😊
This is a great pattern, I made my daughter one this past winter, she loves it. I love that fabric and it looks great on you.
Awesome. I really like the fit :)
Sweetie you showed us how to fix an opps!
I make mistakes like this when I’m tired. I skipped a step this time 🤦🏻♀️. I’m glad there was a solution.
Really like your jacket nice work
Very pretty
Thank you so much 😊
That is gorgeous
Do you have a suggestion for how much to size up for making this out of polar fleece? I live in a cold climate and that would be so cozy with the hood 💚
I’d size up one size. Polar fleece does not really stretch so I’d be careful and cut the band longer so you don’t have to stretch it.
Thank you for sharing awesome tips
You’re very welcome 😉
Very nice!
Thank you so much 😊
I cut two of this cardigan a few weeks ago. One has the shawl collar. For the other, I was short of fabric and cut a band...just as you did. I hope mine turns out as nice as yours! I always love your fabrics...do you buy in South America? Thanks for this video!
You’ll have a nice result :) the band is ok. I bought this sweater knit in Chile during the summer.
What was the type of fabric you used Karina please?
Sweater knit. Loosely woven. Some type of acrylic rayon blend. Super light and drapey.

I own so many but haven’t sewn any yet.

Too bad you didn't just use a different fabric so you could have your shawl collar.
