Ladies Revised Fun Tee Full Pattern Review Plus a Rolled Hem Tutorial
Great tutorial…I have a question how to you measure your neck band if not using a pattern piece, so it lays flat. I need to make the neck opening larger so it fits over the head and not sure how to measure the band correctly.
Thanks for this, made it awhile ago, but 2nd time having a problem. When you put the corners up how many layers are there ??? The GS instructions say "top layer" but its looks like doubled to me ? thanks .
Great video. I see beautiful embroidered mesh fabrics at Britex and always wanted to try working with it. The Tessa is a great option for it. Both dresses are lovely. ❤
Great tutorial. Great teaching job! New subscriber ❤
You did a fabulous job demonstrating using the double fold binder attachment. You are the first one I've watched who pointed out the importance of lining it up with the needles and the bottom fold as well as how many samples it took before it came out correctly. Thank you so much!
Great video! I’m a new subscriber.
Thanks so much!
If your not serging (I don’t have one) should you just use a narrow zig zag?
Ty for making that so easy
Thank you, threading a manual cover stitch machine always scared me. Euphoria is beautiful!
Excellent tutorial, thanks
You can also do that with yarn and regular sewing machine.
I purchased the pattern a while back, but finally sewed it up today. Here in Texas, we are still in high 90s and I was ready for something floaty and non binding. I’ve seen tops in rtw catalogs this year, so I was doubly motivated. I’m very pleased with the outcome of my dress in a rayon twill.
Thank you for helping me solve some of the questions that I’ve had while making shirts.
Thank you for such a thorough review with so much useful info. Do you find the swim fabric you used in the shelf bra to be comfortable in hot weather, i.e., breathable/wicking?
Hi Sandra, my pleasure for the full review. I find swim fabric to be among my favorite fabrics for a shelf bra. It is supportive and it wicks the sweat away. Much like the water slides off a swim suit.
Hi Chris, thank you for this comprehensive review of this cute pattern! I've seen some Boo & Lu children's makes, but will definitely have to check out the adult patterns. Love both your top and dress!
Love the capsule wardrobe!
Hi Chris, this is such a cute, colorful summer mini capsule wardrobe!
Thanks. It’s getting a lot of wear.
Great refashion in to a super cute skirt!
It's SEW good to see you posting again... You ROCK!
So cute!
💕😀 thanks
What a great save & idea!
I’ve watched a lot of videos on how to attach a knit neckband. I declare this one the best! Coincidentally I’m working with the same pattern so what a bonus for me! Thank you so much for the clear instructions and tips 😊
The detail on your skirt is just beautiful Chris! Perfect fabric choice for spring and summer 😊
What fabric content did you use. The drape looks so nice that I’m thinking it isn’t a denim fabric. Thank you.
Hi Chris, your Taroko skirt is very pretty! Love the front pockets.
Both of your tops are lovely. Have you lost weight? You are looking really wonderful.
This was excellent. Thank you!
I was on the fence for a few days about ordering the pattern, but: after watching your video I used your affiliate link & ordered mine a minute ago. Can’t wait to print it out & begin! ( Lifting Pins & Needles has a UA-cam sew along tutorial, so you can see how it’s sewn up too)
Yes Karina is a friend of mine. Thanks for using my link.
Both of your tops are lovely! I love Itch to Stitch patterns and this is another great one. The 3/4 sleeve is my favorite sleeve length. Thank you, Chris.
Your video popped into my feed first time.....Subscribed!
The yellow top looks lovely on you Chris .
Thanks Mary! I just love this particular shade of yellow for the warmer weather.
Beautiful top!
So glad you are back. You are a very good teacher - have watched all your previous videos. Keep up the great work.
Hello Marilyn, how lovely of you. Thank you so very much. I hope it shows that I get so much joy from sharing what I’ve learned. Thanks for being a subscriber and sharing my videos to any who may find it helpful.
How it differs from the triumph or ovation
Both of your tops are beautiful
You look beautiful! 😍may I know you’re secret to weight loss? I’ve been battling with menopause and have gained a bit of weight 😢. Anyway that’s a beautiful pattern. I just love your fabric choices! I’m always excited to see what you post next! 🤩 And I agree with you Kennis ‘s patterns are spot on! I’m petite and her patterns fit me amazingly without having make too many adjustments!
@@sewjourns7128 well you look amazing! Thank you for sharing your story 🥰I really appreciate it! I have been doing some research and found that for menopausal women weight training is best. I love your idea of writing and planning your meals. I will start to journal and plan better myself. I live a busy life so I think having some pre prepared meals would work better for when Im too tired to cook. So you’ve not only inspired me in my sewing but in my menopause/ Weight loss journey as well. Can’t thank you enough! 🤗😘
What a great technique - thank you! Do you have any suggestions if the thread breaks when you are turning the tube or is it easier just to scrap it and start over?
This is such a cute top with a clever construction method for the twist. Thanks for the tutorial, Chris!
How do you measure for the length of the band on a ready made shirt- no pattern piece
Hi Meg, if you are using 4 way stretch fabric with 50% stretch and excellent recovery such as cotton Lycra, which is the best choice for a band then measure the opening on the neck hole all the way around at the seam allowance and take 85% of that for your neck band. I like mine cut at 1.75 inches wide some like 2 inches. Then you’ll fold in half and press.
@@sewjourns7128 Thankyou sew much. This is one skill I have never mastered. I have 2 neck opening waiting for a band.
@@megcharette7640 my pleasure. After you cut your neck band you can baste it on to be sure you have the correct length before you commit to the serging.
Great tutorial on how to do the twist. Love your too. You always use such fun colors.
Thank you Janet. I’m very pleased you found the tutorial helpful. Please feel free to share the video if you think it might be helpful to. others. I love bringing these helpful bits to everyone.
Thank you!
Where did you find your trim bucket? I’ve been looking for one. Thank you.
@@sewjourns7128 thank you so much.
@@marsha11neeriemer90 the woman I bought the thread catcher from I found on the Facebook page called BabyLock Buy/Sell/Trade and Chat. Her name is Kathy Zaso Schulz. You can join that group then search for her name and contact her from there.
Great demo
Thanks. I’m very happy you found it helpful.
Thank you 👍
Wow- this is game changing! Would a 3 thread stitch work or does it require 4 thread?
Sure a three thread will work. Just remember that a three thread overlock is not as sturdy as a 4 thread so just turn it gently and you’ll be fine. It’s such a time saver. Turning tubes is my nemesis. 😜
This is brilliant thank you so much.
You are most welcome.
Chris, thank you for a great tutorial and for the source for aglets.
Hi Laura, my pleasure. Happy sewing.
I'm so glad I found your videos! You really are amazing at teaching etc.
