Hi, I’m Caitlynn, I’m still fairly new to sewing and love to share my beginner friendly projects! I hope that we can inspire each other to make our Pinterest boards come to life and take on projects that bring us joy! My primary focus here is sewing, but I love all things DIY so stick around to get inspired to tackle whatever creative projects you can dream up. I look forward to connecting with you!
Thanks for watching!

I’d love to see what you’re making! If my video inspired you to take on a similar project use the hashtag #caitmakes and tag me on instagram at @caitmakes so I can give your projects some love! - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต

I love that they’re things you’d actually wear. I feel like a lot of beginner projects are things I would never want to keep which defeats the purpose. So thank you for the suggestions!
Yay! I’m so glad you enjoyed it! Happy sewing! 😊❤️
Thank you so much for sharing! Please please please keep the photo up while you are talking. It was very challenging listening to you describe the pattern with only a flash of the garment you were referring to. It was a helpful video, but that small tweak would make it so much more helpful. Thank you again for sharing ❤️
Thank you so much for this feedback! I will absolutely do that next time! Super helpful to know :) Thanks so much for watching!
@@CaitMakes Anytime. I want your fan base to grow so you can continue sharing all those cute garments with us. I have been dreaming of sewing my own clothes, but felt very intimidated by the process. You have definitely inspired me! Much love ♥️
Yes to this suggestion!
You're suggesting other youtube channels straight away... Sub! And will be watching you Cause you're actually helping us.
Aw thank you! I’m so glad you enjoyed it & found it helpful! 😊❤️
A bit random but wow your hair are so gorgeous! 😍
Haha thanks so much! 😊
I LOVE the 6th dress, the black velvet one. I would wear that every day just to lounge around the house and be comfy.
Thank you! I have definitely done that exact thing haha, but it's a bit too warm for Spring/Summer. I need to make it again in something a bit lighter for the rest of the year. :)
I absolutely agree with you about starting with an exciting project! Everything you've made is so beautiful! Looking forward to more of your videos!
Absolutely, definitely the best way to get into the hobby for sure! 😊❤️ Thank you and thanks so much for watching! 😊❤️❤️
Thank you for sharing all your lovely projects!
Absolutely! Thanks so much for watching! Hope it gave you some good inspiration for future projects!
❤ I am not seeing many talented people like you on TH-cam. Mostly there are just women trying do garments, choosing wrong fit to their body and not the right fabric, ending up looking homemade or “old weirdo lady” style. But you have a good taste and imagination to plan your projects like a professional and your garments and style choices+customisation really complement your appearance🙂
It’s nice to be kind and remember that everyone is at a different point in their sewing journey and some are still beginners compared to those of us who’ve been sewing garments for a long time.
I’ve been sewing my own clothes for 40 years plus and still fluff up by choosing the wrong fabric or a new style that doesn’t end up flattering my body shape or I just don’t like it. I still choose the wrong size on occasion and only yesterday I cut a front bodice flat instead of on the fold 🫣 the thing is, you don’t know unless you try and we’re all still learning, I take my hat off to people who have the confidence to bravely share their projects!
Subbing because you're a sweetheart and I'm about to learn how to sew as well. I work at a quilting/yarn store and I have no sewing experience, besides a little hand sewing and mending. I'm the yarn expert, but I'm looking forward to learning a new craft! Thanks for your lovely suggestions. :)
Aw thank you! Yay! I hope you love it! I haven't gotten into yarn yet, but it's definitely on my list! No problem, and so glad you enjoyed it! :) Best of luck on your sewing journey, hope to see you around here again!
Beginner projects I’m actually inspired by and excited to start!
Aw yay! Thank you! So glad you found it helpful, thanks for watching! 😊
Great choices!!!
Thanks! ❤️
I loved the video! Thank you very much🥰
Thank you! Thanks so much for watching! 😊❤️
I hope you see this this comment because I’m dying to know where you source your fabrics. I’m struggling to find quality fabric that I’d actually wear. All your stuff looks so pretty and well done too.
Thank you for postin !!!💕💕💕
Thank you! I mainly get my fabric by thrifting (curtains, tablecloths, etc), JoAnn or Etsy. For the best quality I try to stick to natural fibers and heavier weight materials as much as possible. Hope that helps!
this video got recommended to me. It feels like a friend encouraging me to finally (re)tackle this thing I wanted to do for ages - sewing. Thank you!
Sorry for getting superficial but I can't not compliment your stunning eyes, and the hair colour makes them twinkle so warmly. All the best!
This makes me so happy! 🥹😊 I’m so glad you enjoyed it and found it encouraging!
Thank you, that’s very sweet of you 😊.
great taste and lovely personality!! :)
Thank you so much! :) Thanks for watching!
@@CaitMakes btw I also agree that thé second dress are just simply timeless and so lovely. I can't wait to make them!

Commenting because you mentioned the essentials club channel. ❤❤❤
Right!? Love that channel! Thanks for watching and hope you enjoyed! 😊❤️
Would love a video on your version of the isila dress you made for your friends wedding. So stunning! ✨
Thank you so much! I'll add it to the "future projects" list for sure! I would love to have it in another version :)
Love all of the work you have put into this beautiful video. Your attention to detail is remarkable and greatly appreciated. Love all the links as well. Your beginner picks are on point! ❤ Thanks 😊
Thank you so much! 😊❤️ That totally makes my day, I’m so glad you enjoyed it and found it helpful! ❤️❤️
One of my FAVOURITE sewing roundups!! Constantly searching for new patterns and your selection was so gorgeous. Super helpful for beginners as well and your encouragement is exactly what beginners need rather than making techniques seem intimidating. Instantly subscribed ❤
Aw thank you so much! I’m so glad you enjoyed it and found it helpful! 😊❤️
Hi! This video is so helpful as a beginner and inspired me so much ❤
Your energy is so lovely and contagious, I instantly had to subscribe. Looking forward to watching more of your videos!
Hello! Yay I'm so glad you found it helpful! Thank you so much, that's so kind of you! New video is going live tomorrow morning! 😊 ❤ Thanks so much for subscribing!
Here for the sewing patterns, but love your jewelry - the necklace(s) and earrings.
Thank you! 😊
You are such an inspiration, love your style :) could you consider making a video on fabrics, accessories or tips for beginners? It would be really helpful
Aw thank you so much! :) Absolutely! That is very high on my list of "need-to-make" videos. Tomorrow's video is making pin cushions from scrap materials if you're interested! Definitely a great beginner project and super useful. :)
such a helpful video and looking at ur content i cant wait to watch more
I’m so glad you found it helpful! Thank you, thank you! 😊❤️
loved this video and your warm energy!💗 subbed right away🫶🏼
Aw thanks so much! So glad you enjoyed it & thanks for subbing! 😊❤️❤️
I love this! Just in time for summer
So glad you enjoyed it! Thanks so much for watching and best of luck with your upcoming Summer projects! :)
Great video! I’ve been sewing for years, but these are still patterns I want to check out. I think it’s so important to choose patterns that make you excited to work on it and want to wear the item. My first project was a lined purse (like a tote bag with a flat bottom). I wanted it so much, and even now more than 10 years after I still wear it a lot. Now that I think about it I brought it to the gym just earlier today.
Thank you so much! I’m so glad you found some patterns that interest you here! I 100% agree! I love that, a little bit of sewing work to enjoy something for the next 10+ years is so satisfying. 😊❤️ Thanks so much for watching!
The graduation dress looks stunning on you! ❤
What’s the fabric you’ve used for the second graduation dress?
I just started sewing and so far, I have made a ton of potholders (I'm planning on giving them as Christmas gifts) and a few scrunchies. I really want to start clothing, but I have been really nervous that they would be too difficult since I am very new but I like a lot of these so I think I might give them a try! Thanks for sharing these!
That’s an awesome way to start sewing! You can absolutely make these patterns! Best of luck with your projects and thanks so much for watching! 😊❤️
Wow, thank you for sharing and providing us with the resources. I have been frozen by fear of sewing my own clothes that I look for any other projects to do so I keep avoiding and procrastinating. Maybe this will be the video that prompts me to take the plunge. Great work on your makes, beautifully made, very professional. 🙂
No problem! Ah don't be scared, it's honestly so much easier than I thought it would be when I started. :) You can absolutely do it! Either way I wish you the best of luck! Thanks so much and thanks for watching :)
@@CaitMakes thank you 😊 actually what is holding me back is the frustration of not understanding the pattern instructions.. Like you, I’m a visual learner. I’m going to work on garments for which I can find tutorials. 😁
I want to make all of these!
Yay so glad you found it helpful!
I’m so glad I found this video! Thank you for these wonderful recommendations. Where do you find your fabrics?
Of course! So glad you found it helpful! I do a lot of Thrifting (goodwill mostly), otherwise I source from JoAnn or Etsy. :)
Absolutely love 💕 the fact that most of your recommendations were dresses and from a few other TH-camr’s two of them in which I already knew about 😊 Kiana Bonollo is a true gem 💎 On another note for you to be fairly new to sewing your skills are definitely at a professional level you could literally sell any of those pieces you made and people would absolutely adore them.
So glad you enjoyed it! I've learned from watching youtube, so I'll always recommend the channels that helped me (and still do) along the way. :) Thank you so much, that's so kind! Thanks for watching!
You're such a cutie :) I also made the Isila dress in dark green, it turned out so cute. But the sleeves were so complicated to make! I see you skipped those haha
Aw thanks! 😊❤️ I have never attempted the sleeves, I’ll have to mention that next time I bring it up for sure! Now I need to try them! Thanks for watching ❤️
This is such good inspo to start sewing! What sewing machine and tools/ materials would you suggest to buy to get started? I would love love love to see a video on this ❤❤
Yay I'm so glad you found it helpful! I am in the process of making a video on this so definitely stay tuned for a detailed answer to this question! In general I would say start small and cheap (second hand machine, thrifted materials, basic beginner sewing kit for needles pins etc). Sewing can get expensive quickly so best to start small and affordable and make sure you like it before you invest. :)
This is such a great video for beginners💗! Do you have any machine recommendations for beginners?
Thank you! I'm so glad you found it helpful! Personally I recommend getting something second hand. My first sewing machine was a Singer I found on Facebook Marketplace for like $70 and it served me really well. I wouldn't recommend getting anything digital to start with personally, but I think it has a lot to do with personal preference. I say start with something affordable and make sure you like it and then invest in something fancier/more specific to your needs later. :)
Do you mind telling me what fabric you used in the second pattern, cream dress. I think it’s lovely and would like a similar finished look! Thanks x
I don’t know exactly what fabric it was but it was a four-way-stretch synthetic material I got at JoAnn. It pilled and snagged super easily so it’s really the only fabric I’ve used that I wouldn’t recommend unfortunately haha. But I think you’d get a similar finish as long as it’s a four way stretch material with a bit of weight. Hope that helps some! Thanks for watching!
Can you start doing tutorials with some of the patterns you recommend. Like testing a pattern and showing a beginner how to do it? I’ve been trying to find videos like that but they never explain it well enough or go way too fast
Here is a playlist of all my "Sew With Me" videos where I do quite a few of the patterns from this video: th-cam.com/play/PLVmOzSIIo3_6t6t610WbKTqr23jdBMuhA.html
Definitely try any of Lydia Naomi's patterns that I recommended she has great in-depth tutorials for beginners to go along with each of her patterns. Hope that helps! Thanks so much for watching!
@@CaitMakes thank you so much!! 💕
can you PLEASE do a tutorial or a reel on how you made that elastic bust top? (your first make)
it looks like a fold over top but my brain can’t compute how to make it!
Hi! I will absolutely put it on my list of "reels I should make". I will try to explain what I did one more time quickly in hopes that it helps you though: So I followed The Essential's Club's tutorial step by step (highly recommend) the only adjustment I made was that I added an extra 4 inches to the height of the rectangle that you'll cut out. I then placed the elastic channel about 4 inches from the top of the rectangle. Once I put the finished garment on the fabric naturally folded over since my arms pushed it down on the side. I promise it was super easy to do, no secret extra steps, I'm positive you could create it no problem. :) Hope that helps! Thanks so much for watching!
Thank you for sharing!!! May I ask, what fabric did you use for the Isila Dress? It's so beautiful!
Of course! I hope you found it helpful! Thank you, I shared a few different versions of the Isila Dress. The blue was made from thrifted curtains that were sort of a brocade fabric, the pink was a linen blend from JoAnne, and the green was a linen suiting fabric. I hope that helps! Thanks for watching! :)
@@CaitMakes Thank you, that helps! Maybe I missed it but what about the one you used for the wedding? Also, did you make it as a circle skirt? I'm so new to sewing ^^'
@happymochinee the one for the wedding was made from curtains I found at the thrift store, they were a thick brocade fabric. I used the Isila pattern for the skirt as well, it’s a half circle skirt I believe. Hope that helps! :)
How flattering is your blonde hair? It suits you so well.
Aw thanks so much! 😊❤️
Wow! You look like a completely different person with dark hair. I didn't even know it was you, until you said it! :O
Haha yes, I tend to change my hair a lot. The face stays the same, but the hair rarely does 😂
That graduation dress???? 🤯
Right!? One of the best patterns ever 😊❤️
you look like Ella Purnell!
Haha well thank you! 😊❤️
too much repetition and narcissism
WOW what a comment haha😅 where exactly was the narcissism?🙈
