I know you love your signature orangey-red color, but that blue is STUNNING on you!
Yes! Thank you!
Thanks for the shimmy, shake, jazz hands at the end. 🥰😅. Your blue chorus top really makes your eyes shine. Glad you have recuperated and have less stress and more time to enjoy your sewing. There’s an t-shirt saying out there: “it’s too peopley out there “.
Oh thank you!
Oh those dry spells when we have committed to being a creative content creator! Whitney, thank you for your honesty and your faithfulness. ❤
❤️❤️❤️
Loved the clip. Made me laugh out loud. Your joy is spreading.
Thank you!!
Your wardrobe is beautiful! I got my colors done last year by Color Guru (thanks Whitney!) and it has been so helpful. Little by little I am sewing in my color palette and voila - suddenly everything matches! I am so happy with that. Like you said, saves money too. And oh how easy it becomes to pack for a trip🥰
YES!
First, I absolutely love the new LN Chorus on you! You have so many lovely dresses in your wardrobe. This is something I’d like to expand in my own wardrobe.
I do love a dress in the summer!
I love your memade May outfits. I can see why sewing in your colour palette makes so much sense!I've recently had my colours done by a House of Color consultant and now I'm slowly sewing a wardrobe in my Vibrant Autumn palette. I will be using my colour fan when I go shopping for fabric. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and experience about memademay!
Sewing in a color palette has really made so many things so much easier! I'm glad you enjoyed this one!
First, thank you for saying (more or less) that color is hard to remember. That concept is something that I've been thinking about for a while now. Next, I really appreciate your saying that wardrobe building is a worthwhile endeavor in sewing ones' own clothes. It is a concept that is worth repeating. Thanks.
You are so welcome!
Hi Whitney. I loved the dance with each Me Made May outfit -- lots of joy combined with beautiful clothes. Yes, your conclusion that you are spot-on with wardrobe is a great revelation, Antonia
Thank you so much!
Fun video! I especially loved all your me made dresses. Only thing That would make them better is labeling the patterns you made them from. I’ll have to back to your videos and look. I absolutely love that blue on you
Everything that I've shown has been on the channel. And be sure to follow on Instagram as they were all tagged there!
We call that color memory, and very few people have a true color memory. We are usually off a little.
I agree!
Interesting. I didn't know that was a thing. I can usually remember colors fairly accurately although if I'm feeling off, my color recall is off. The other problem is store lighting which can mess up everything and too many don't have windows or very few to be able to consult daylight references on an item.
I keep my color card on me all the time, just in case I’m questioning. It really is the best tool. Your little outfit dance really gives in high speed!
I bet that's hilarious!!
That was a very jolly display of your fab May outfits! Loved it! :)
Glad you enjoyed it!
That blue looks so nice on you. Gorgeous.
Thank you!
Everything looks so good!!!
Thank you!
Loved your film at the end . This has been a crazy month. Dr. Appointments, Car maintenance. The thing that h has about plucked my last nerve is both my son and I have been getting cataract surgery. My son had his last on Tuesday and I had my first done yesterday. The eye drops are never ending . My son has some difficulty getting them in his left eye. He still has a little over a couple of weeks to go in his right eye and just started on his left and I m just starting on my right. It’s a hot mess! My vision is still a bit blurry but what I can see is so vivid & bright. I can’t wait to get left eye done.
I'm glad you are on the mend! I hope your other eye goes as smoothly!
I loved the little dance and your gorgeous smile with each outfit. Each outfit is a real winner.
I particularly looked at the fit on the pants your wore. Seems like the derriere changes with age as much as other parts do so I'll have to review pattern alterations so I can make some new ones that fit well and are nice to wear.
Thank you so much!
Your thoughts on Me Made May really put things into perspective. How our creativity gets lost when we don't have the energy to do the fun things we love! I have a good idea of what my pallette is but there are colours that I love and wear anyway, adding anything with a white base makes me look more tanned bringing out the olive in my skintone but my eyes look either more green or brown when I wear clear jewel tones. So depending on what I want to highlight ... looking at your month review you seem much happier in dresses and your short flight suit!
Aww Thankyou! Sending lots of love your way!
What a lot of beautiful outfits! This is when you understand just how busy you’ve been and for how long - it happens to me for similar reasons every few years, and then it just takes a while before the creative urge comes back again. I’m so glad you’re feeling better in yourself again now!
Yes! Thank you!
In my mind (and / or eye) your gold dress hits the mark with making you shine both in colour and style. All look good, but the gold was #1 to me. ❤
It's probably my favorite of the bunch!
Wow! What truly fabulous me made outfits…inspirational ❤
Thank you!
ColorGuru and having a palette is awesome! Saves me money on makeup and hair coloring too. Even on no makeup days (heat, eyes unhappy, lazy while blessed with good skin & Grandpa's blue eyes). Still not convinced? Check Whitney's great, early content on wardrobe modules before she had her colors done and was wearing a summer palette.
Thanks for that sweet endorsement!
i still watching, but had to agree with you that having a color palate has been "ME Changing". I can get dressed easily. I feel good a picking ANYTHING out. I don't grab one thing and then another and then have a mess of clothes to put back away. I feel great when i put the clothes on. I love just looking into my closet - they all go together and it looks like an artist's painting. If I had had all that done earlier in life i would have SA VED SO MUCH MONEY - in clothing and fabric purchases. That feeling of "having nothing to wear with a closet full of clothes is GONE". All that is because of YOUR videos.
I agree with you completely regarding some of your 'almost' colors. I had noticed that a few times and wondered if it was me. LOL. its funny how you notice things like that after becoming a color palate snob....lol OK. Back to the video...
I'm so glad your closet is so cohesive! Yes! It does make a huge difference getting dressed when everything matches!
I think it would make a lovely, fun, informative, and very helpful video if you took that video of your Me May Mades and talked us through what you have come away with, in relation to your knowledge of color, palates, tones, fabrics, garment style, etc. I was trying to do that as I watched, but it was very fast, plus I found myself just wondering what your thoughts were.... Thank you again!
great suggestion!
Whitney, that orange dress……could turn it into a skirt. Thanks for sharing!
Great idea!!
Ok, for the past 30 years, I have not wanted to wear a dress, only in my closet for funerals. But, I'm actually thinking I'm going to step out of my box, my private comfort zone, and sew a dress. I can't believe I'm saying this! What is the pattern for your button down longer length dress in the darker greens and blues with the large print of ferns or palms and the like? I love that on you and think I want to start with that one. Thanks for this great video with all of your makes that give all of us ideas.
Check out this video for all the details on that dress: th-cam.com/video/pIEwuP78ci4/w-d-xo.html Thank you for your kind words
You've got to stop checking your watch all the time in these videos. Slow down and enjoy the ride. You will get it all done. : )
I have a smartwatch too and she’s turning the camera on or off to take the video clips a useful thing when there’s no helper…. 😊
@@christinafisher6244 Got it!
That's exactly what I'm doing! Stopping and starting the video!
@@TomKatStitchery You've both educated me. Thank you.
I really enjoyed this video. What pattern did you use for the blue dress where you were holding a glass of wine.
I'm so glad! That dress is the Love Notions Olympia Dress. It's a lovely pattern!
Oh that white v neck cotton dress with red flowers (and green and yellow ones), a v-neck and elbow length sleeves . What is the pattern??!! Also the salmon straight knee length skirt!!!!
It's the Franconia Dress from the Cashmerette Club. I talked about it here: th-cam.com/video/3Am4OCN42qY/w-d-xo.htmlfeature=shared
@@TomKatStitchery Thankyou!!
I would like to know what patterns for shorts you used. I counted days 7, 9, 15, 18, 20, and 26. That is not all of them, because a couple of the blue jeans shorts looked store-bought.
Check out my Summer Capsule Video for a complete list--which covers the shorts I wore in most of these videos you mentioned. th-cam.com/video/8GIlr89SObs/w-d-xo.html
@@TomKatStitchery thank you. I checked the video, and the ones that caught my eye are the LN Tinley, and the Itch to Stitch one. I just want a simple pattern with elastic all around or flat front & elastic back.
@@gerriebell2128the Itch to Stitch Belize are my favorite pattern for that style!
How do you print one of these indepedant patterns so that it is both cost effective and relatively simple?
Stay tuned! I'll be talking about that coming up soon!
@@TomKatStitchery Thanks much!
