Yes to the Q & A.
Your shirts look great. I think it was called a Camp Shirt in the US. The only difference that I could see was that there was a breast pocket on them.
It's very similar to a camp shirt yes. This pattern does have a pocket but I chose not to add it. 👍😘
They are lovely. The last one especially
Thank you Carol
I just bought this pattern and was going to do a pleat in the back too. Your Donny's are lovely and you look fantastic in them.
Oh thank you!😘
Ok… just bought the Donny pattern… not feeling guilty, this is a really nice shirt and I have plenty fabric! Thank you Micheline!
It's a great pattern to use some of that stash up with. 😉👍😘
Oh. I was to late! I’ve would like to be comparing for the give-away.
Better luck next time
Oh No! But don't worry I have more giveaways to come😉😘
Thank you, I enjoyed seeing all your Donny shirts. I would lengthen the sleeves too. I need to hide very weedy arms! A pattern is always worth the money if we use them several times. I don't know whether I would with the Donny as I don't think it would suit me as well as it does you. My go to patterns are Tilly and the Buttons "Billy" and "Freya", plus the Sewhouse 7 Toaster sweater but so far I haven't been able to justify the high cost for blouse patterns . I prefer patterns in a ready printed pack. With PDF patterns I end up in a sea of A4 and twisted sellotape !
all great tops. I agree with you that the patterns are so expensive you really need to like a pattern and keep reusing to cover the costs.
I think my most used pattern is love notions La Bella Donna top.
I really must try the toaster top.
👍😉😘
Hi Micheline I really rate Friday as a great sewing pattern co because they were early adopters to plus size and they offer a few free patterns and their sewalongs are great. I have just bought the ilford to make a jacket for his majesty. I’m thinking I’ll also make an oversized shirt for me from it.
I’ve been undecided on the Donny but yours looks great so I may give it a go if I don’t already have a similar pattern.
Hi Claire yes it is a good pattern company. I've made a few items of theirs and I've been very successful each time. Although the raincoat that i made proved awkward simply because the centre panels incorporated the front and the back and so they were very very long. I like the Ilford Jacket too although I do have a similar BIG 4 pattern. It reminds me of a Lucy and Yak jacket I saw a young girl wearing the other day. I imediately thought "I need to make one!" 😉😘
@@michoumakes how do you find the fit around shoulders and bust on their patterns?
As far as I can recall I haven't had too much of an issue with them🤞. I find with many patterns I have to take the shoulder send in because they hang over my shoulders but I didn't have to make any adjustments on the Donny. The moment I find I have to overtweak an indie pattern it puts me off buying from them again. They cost so much that I don't want to be having to make so many adjustments. Oh the joys of not being a size 12. 🤭😉😘
@@michoumakes oh so agree it’s so annoying adjusting
I think they’re tulips ? And it lovely
As I was watching my playback I suddenly realised they didn't look like roses at all and more like some other flower. Now you come to mention it tulips they certainly are. 👍😉😘
In my area (U.S) we always called blouses with flat open collars "camp tops".
that's the name I couldn't think of Julia. and of course a touch of the Hawaiian floral shirt too. 👍😉😘
Forgot to say the dog is adorable ❤
Was it Hawaiian Shirt your thinking of, the other that came to mind was Bermuda but then I remembered that was the shorts you could get. Love all the shirts, it’s always the longest time when you first do a pattern is the fitting and adjustments, but then like you say once you’ve got it your away, or for you, super away speedy gon sewist, brilliant job on all. Xx Shorts to match? 😁xxx
Hawaiian and Bermuda were the names I was trying to recall. Thank you Christine. 👍😉😘
Wow how happy I am that i s tumbled across your channel. Hello from Australia 🇦🇺. I love your shirts I actually hated that pattern as it was so cropped, but your versions are fabulous.
well hello Moira. lovely to hear from you. I had the same feeling about the top as you had. it was definitely a no no for big bottoms and tummys. I just wondered if it might look as good lengthened. Well I was so pleased with the end result. it turned out even better than expected. I'm so pleased I tried it.
thanks for watching.
👍😉😘
Nice fabric choices for your shirts.
thanks Anna
I’ve got that poly cotton leaf fabric. Made some super wide leg culottes out of it. Super cheap!
ooh that sounds interesting. wide legs are definitely coming back into fashion too. 👍😉😘
Really like all your Donny tops. Very pretty on you. Was Camp Shirt the term you were looking for? I made a lot of them in the 70-80’s. Love seeing what you’ve been up to.
I do believe it was a camp shirt Neda. Very similar to the Hawaiian shirt too. I couldn't think of either names!🤔🤭😉😘
Love the shirts
thank you. 👍😘😉
The Donnie top looked lovely on you,i like the style, i was a lazy devil and ive ordered one of line a similar style that is in plain navy from yours, if i like it i will attempt my own pattern type style and replicate the time like you have done lol,have a lovely break away the pair of you ,😊 x love sandy
who did you buy it from? just curious. I might check them out too. 👍😉
Oh no, now I need to buy the Donny pattern, Micheline made me do it. My question for the Q&A is, do you have any other hobbies or interests besides sewing and gardening? I am a reader and a bit of knitting, crochet and cross stitch. Not enough hours in the day though.
Very nice shirts, now you have to make pinafores to go with them. Jumper dresses? Whatever you call them, they will be great when you can't be bothered with pants. Collar up, coloured tights and boots and you will look amazing. One of the best things about aging is being free to be as eccentric as you please
No that's a great idea Annette. I just need to research which pinafore pattern floats my boat and might look good with the Donny underneath.
;-) x
My favourite shirt is the Pattern Emporium All in Easy shirt but having seen all your Doñny shirts I am going to give it a go! Ps the Roses are actually Tulips!! Happy stitching. Caroline
I've just checked that shirt out. I like it too. I quite fancy making a shirt dress and that looks like it could be a great pattern. I love shirts but when they're button down ones I like them open with a t shirt underneath. I like the Donnie shirt because it doesn't need fastening up and it looks good. 👍😘
Those Donny shirts are wonderful on you. My favorite is the one with roses on it! Hugs from Oregon. I’m at the beach with my dad for a few days…
Thanks Loriann. I hope you and dad are having a good time together. I'm sure he'll enjoy having your company. ❤️
Love the donny tops you have made, can I ask if you had to do a fba with that style of top, I am losing my appreciation for sewing at the moment as I am trying to sort out my full low bust( senior body type ❤️) issues , cheers Helen
hi Helen
I do understand what you mean about fba. I feel annoyed that I pay as much for a pattern only to find that it looks odd here and there and I have to start doing an fba to make it work. This pattern works for me as it doesn't involve any darts! Friday pattern company have produced patterns for all sizes and they seem to fit well too.
there seems to be positive feedback about their patterns.

I am with you loving the Donny shirt. Three up to now and more to come. Love all of yours.
It's a versatile pattern. Definitely a stash user upperer for me.
👍😉😘
The shirts are great, I could see myself wearing every day, and comfortable.
I'm really taken by their design Renee. Dressy yet comfortable.
👍😉😘
Those shirts look fabulous on you. I love the popped up collar too. I think it's very sophisticated looking. Lee xx
Thanks Lee. 👍😘
I like a summer shirt also in summer. They don't show the lumps and bumps like knits do, and I think they are cooler on a hot day. Love the one with the big dots on it. It hangs beautifully on you, and the pink patterned one.
It's such a nice pattern that I can see me using quite a lot of my stash up on it because each one looks totally different and it's quite versatile regards sleeve length. And I have seen it made into a dress too! Now that's a possibility too xxx
I love your shirts. I bought this pattern a while ago but just made it yesterday. I’m struggling with attaching the color without bunching up😊
I'm sure I'll be making another in a few days. I'll try to video how I do it. If it might help. 🤞😘
@@michoumakes absolutely thank you
I love your Donny tops! They look so confortable. Thank you for sharing. Q&A would be nice.
They certaily are Sheila! xxx
I love all your Donny shirts. My question for the Q and A is - what scissors and scissor sharpeners do you use?
Nice shirts, Micheline! I particularly like the red roses one with the black pants.
Thanks Anne-Marie it actually turned out much better than I had expected.
😉👍😘
Love your Donny shirts and the pleat instead of the gathers works so well - going to copy that! I have only made one but I lengthened mine to my knees and added side seam pockets. I love it.
That sounds like a rather good idea. I'm gonna have to try that👍🏻😘
By the way Michou the fourth shirt has tulips not roses….
Ha! Yes, I've been picked up on that error a few times. 👍😜😘
Lovely Donnys! I particularly like the pink roses version.
Hi Micheline, fabulous shirts 👌💖.. I particularly love the one you have on 💜. Would love a Q&A.. I'll have to think about the question 🤔🥰😘
Keep thinking Sally. 🤭😉😘
@@michoumakes my question is.. Have you a piece of fabric in your stash that you've had for a long time because you love it and just can't cut into it? 👍🥰🙏
Love the Shirts! The 2nd one reminds me of a Aloha Shirt, that is what was ver big in the USA in the 1980's.
Love all of the Tops! Liz from South Florida 😎🌴☀️.
Aloa yes and possibly the Hawaiian one. You know the ones with all the tropical prints al over them. 😉😜😘
the shirts are fabules, was the men's shirt you was trying to think of "Ben Sherman" i used to love them and had a lovely lilac and move with a hint of yellow. i had quite a few but that one was my fav. and yes they had the box pleat on the back with a loop type thing as well. love to you both. x
oh the Ben Sherman. it may well have been Hazel. I Soo loved those shirts. And they looked even better on a man with muscles. 🤭😉😂😘
For some reason I have not being getting your video’s! So happy to see you again and hope you keep sharing your sewing and craft makes!!
You are right, the Donny blouse or shirt is so good for casual or dressy!!
Oh dear. I have the same problem with vlogs I follow. I've lost track of so many because TH-cam didn't update me on their vlogs.
The Donny is definitely a comfortable make. 😘
The donny shirt is a great hit, lovely shirts❤
Thanks Shari. It's definitely a hit with me. 😉😘👍🏻
Beautiful makes 🙏❤️💙💜💚
Your Donny shirts are nice.
Love your blouses. The colours are fab. 💚💌💛
I love your Donny tops. I am working on one now and I also made mine longer about 5 inches. I like the way you made the sleeves longer I think I will try that next. Good to see you take care.❤
It's definitely a very versatile pattern Elaine. xxx
I really like the Donny shirt. The pleat on the back is very nice. We call that type of shirt a camp shirt. You are inspiring me to make a Donny shirt, too.
I can't stress just how easy it is to put together Karen. I fud get a bit cocky on the third make and foolishly sewed the yoke to the wrong side of the fabric. 😱😳🤭
but a quick unpick and I was sorted. that'll teach me! 😂😂😂😘
Loved your Donny tops! ❤Great vlog! 😊
Thank you!! 😊
Hi, Micheline, I just love your shirts too, they all look fabulous, I can’t believe that they only took you an hour search to make, Wow! that’s got to be a record. I must say yours look better being a longer length that the original one on the pattern. Yes please I’d love a Q&A will need to get my thinking cap on though for a question, because your videos are so thorough that you always seem to answer my “queries “ during the video, as per this one, I was wondering how long it took to make 5 😅 lots love HazelWxx
it's definitely a great make Hazel. I did make a mistake on top number 4. Burrito yoke got sewn to the wrong side of the fabric but it was quickly rectified. that'll teach me not to keep an eye on the instructions. 😂😂😂
I await your question. 😉😘
Great makes!
Love the Donny shirt, ive been looking for a shirt with a collar like this, thanks for sharing, I’ve just ordered it.
Hope you like it Margaret.xxx
I smiled and chuckled all the way through your review of the Donny pattern. Thanks for a pleasant start to my day.
I have the Donny pattern and plan to make it.
Have fun Ruby. I'm sure you'll enjoy making it.xxx
Enjoyed looking at the donny shirt. They look lovely. Thanks for sharing and catch you next time 😊😊
thanks Ange. 👍😉😘
Love those Donny shirts, all look great on you & love the idea of the pleat instead of gathering on the back. If I go for the pattern I would also lengthen the sleeves, always try & hide the bingo wings 😅. I gave up sewing for a while as been going to Slimming World & so far lost nearly 4st (more to loose though) & things I made had to keep altering! However, trying to get into it again. My Q&A would be about destashing, how do you do it, which site would be best & pitfalls. Many thanks Ali 😊
Well done Allison on achieving such a great weight loss. I have no doubt you want she feel better for it. And I would imagine that now you have lost all that weight you will want to start sewing because you feel better fitting to a slimmer figure.
I'm endeavouring to lose weight too. I am gradually losing some but not at the speed that I would like. 😏
I'm sure that now you've lost all that weight you might actually feel like making clothes for your new figure. 👍😉😘
Brilliant! Love your Donnys. I’ve taught the ladies in my patchwork group how to make the Donny. The majority of them haven’t sewn garments before. Micheline, I really like your new hairstyle. ❤
it's such an easy make isn't it?
once you master the burrito method it makes it so straight forward to make.
Sounds like you and your class are doing well moving from patchwork to garments. 👍😉😘
I love all of your Donny shirts! I have the pattern and was debating between two different fabrics, but decided to use both of them to make Donny shirts. Happy sewing, Michou!
Ooh let me know how they turn out and if you like them as much as I do Laura.
👍😉😘
I've made a few donny shirts x I made mine longer too but made a curved bottom ❤ love them
Ooh a curved hem sounds rather a good idea too. I'll have to try that too Linda. 😉👍😘
@@michoumakes I'll try a photo
OOh that would be great if you could so I can show the viewers what it looks like.
@@lindaparker3330
Hi! I love your Donny shirts! I've made one and have the fabric for another. I made mine a little longer, too. I'm thinking about hacking it into a dress.
yes that's my next make. I've seen a dress made with the Donny and it looked lovely. 👍😉😘
I need you to send me your address lavada be 'cause you have won the garment planner.
😉
Don't know why but your vlogs aren't coming up on my feed again. Having to seek you out
+@janicecoulson5388 I'm sure they rotate them so you don't see any gur a while and then they appear again. I have the same issue with some I have subscribed to. Maybe I'm not popular enough. 🤭😉😘
