Yup, another great sewing day. Great idea about basting difficult places. We live in a ranch style house, no stairs. If you get tired of the cold weather someday, come to southeast Texas and we can sew together. Bring your hubby too. Enjoyed 🌹🇨🇱
The picture on the pattern package doesn’t do it justice of how pretty this blouse is. It is a lovely and comfortable blouse. Thanks again Marie for a wonderful tutorial on how to sew that neck line.
What a wonderful tutorial I wish I had it months ago when I made this in summer fabric, the neck front came out ok but felt like a dog's breakfast whilst doing it, will make again using this tut.😂
Thank you Marie! I probably would not have had the courage to make this pattern without watching this video! Now, I really want to make it! So now I’m going to buy this pattern! I love it!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Another lovely make. Thanks for the tips about sewing that neckline. I always manage to end up with a pucker at the bottom corners so will try your method next time. Love how your little black cat always gets in on the catwalk at the end 😂
OMG you have been my life saver. It was going so well until I reached the neckband and facing stage. I just couldn't understand the instructions for this part. The diagram for steps 29 flummexed me. My intuition said it should be right sides together but then the diagram looked like it was right side to wrong side and the diagram just did not look like reality. I really thought I was going to have to put this project in a WIP pile until I came across your tutorial. At the time of writing I have basted the neckband to the blouse and confident I can now finish as it just like your blouse. Thank you so so much. I also like your instructions for the hem and will definitely take this forward for future similar makes. I am so grateful to you
Really pretty tunic! Great instruction on the neckline! Thank you! Genius interfacing technique with the Teflon! I learned a lot in this video. Thanks so much!
This really is a nice blouse/top. I love sewing with you and the tips and advice you give. You always give me confidence that I can sew my clothes. I love the creativity working with fabric provides. Thank you.
so nice that you take your time to explain everything especially the issues with patterns that come up, such pretty material, now I want to make one for me :)
Playing catch-up😂. I love this top in the flannel fabric, it looks so cozy. The neckline is beautiful and those sleeves, yes! Thanks for sharing another great sew-along😊
Oh well I guess my questions were dumb Much success to your talented craft of sewing , I understand if you don't care to respond to newbies Some of us need inspiration more than others
Don't take it personally I'm a very busy person. If you watch a few of my videos you will see I always use a heat erasable pen, a screw-type leather hole punch to punch the circles out of my tissue paper, and a thick piece of leather to put behind the tissue paper to absorb the back side of the hole punch so I don't damage any fabric. Every time you watch one of my videos you'll see me doing the same thing so maybe if it's a little difficult to figure out the first time the second or third time it'll come easily. 👍
Thank you Marie. I love your lazy way of doing the interfacing with the teflon sheet. So much easier than matching the other way. I also like batch fusing. I always learn something from you.
Gorgeous top n a beautiful color on you... I am in the middle of a flannel top making frenzy too but I have 6 pieces planned but you have me rethinking I need a top like this in there too... thank you for remind me of another option... the tunic length cozy on the hips too...
My sincere apology for coming on personally, you Correct that I should review your videos for info on sewing tools and how to use them as well as tracing techniques, I do appreciate your time and talent you share to the sewing community. Thank you and I will review to be a better learner at the age of 73 lol Have a wonderful weekend Marie
Awesome, I think I would narrow the sleeves a bit, less puffy, but I love your choice of color, looks great. Love your sew alongs, very clear, concise and lots of tips and tricks, awaiting more🤗
Lovely job Marie. Will be nice and cosy on and you could probably get a long sleeve t-shirt underneath too. Lots of great tips and techniques. Thank you 🙋🏼🏴
Beautiful job Marie. I bought one of the hole punchers. looking forward to using it. Basting is a great tip. Thank you for being such a calm instructor. You are a perfectionist and I appreciate that. 💜💜💜
Enjoyed your project. Such a comfortable looking top & it’s a cheerful warm one, too. Thanks for sharing your methodology. Definitely proved the value of basting.
Thank you. I have flannel fabric but was just thinking pajamas or a button-down shirt. Now I am looking through my patterns to find a top. Your top looks great. Have a nice day.
Another cute top! This looks like a versatile top (adjust the length like you did). The most persnickety part I saw was definitely the neck band, but I really like your idea of basting it first & making sure it's all fine & then going back & stitching by machine. Thanks for all the great tips (as usual)! I live in central Indiana & I agree, the weather has been crazy lately. Thank goodness, we're having a nice warm spell. Can't wait to see what you bring us next!
I was in the middle of actually making a shirt with this pattern. I did it all wrong so now I have to start all over with different material...wish I'd seen your video 2 weeks ago thank you for
Very nice. Really love your fabric choice. It's roomy enough to layer for that cold weather. If you wear it with a skirt, as you suggested, it will make its own short, warm slip. I'm wondering if one could construct the whole collar and facing, pressing all outer edges under to match, then place the whole thing over the seam allowance and slipstitching or topstitching it in place. So much easier if it would work!
I love the way you sew. It is how I was taught, 56 years ago. Where did the time go! I still love sewing. It’s my Superpower. Haha. I have a few questions if you have the time to answer. Can you tell us about your iron, and the attachments? Also, could you tell us about your collection of sewing machines?What are you using to transfer your markings? It’s different than what I’ve ever seen. Were you a Home-Ec teacher?
Hello, I have a rapid steam gravity iron from wawak.com that is hanging on an IV pole. I also restore my own sewing machines, and if you're interested look at my other channel that is called Promethean sewing machines. I was never a home ec teacher I just learned by doing like most of us do. And the hole punch and heat erasable pens that I use should have an Amazon Link in my description. I just use the generic pens that come in the bulk packs. If it looks like it's a ballpoint pen that's the style. It seems like they're all made by the same manufacturer no matter what brand it is. A long time ago I didn't about me kind of video probably way back in my catalog if you're interested, but I'm just a normal person in my sewing room talking to a camera 🤣
Hi Marie. I have the hole puncher, but where did you purchase the leather patch that you use between the pattern and the fabric? At the moment, I'm using a piece of cardboard. But as you can imagine, I have to replace that quite often. Can you let me know? And thanks for the wonderful tutorials. I'm self-taught and learning so much! Warm Regards from Maryland. :)
I actually always wash in hot. I must have misspoke. Even when the fabric calls for cold water or warm water, I always pre wash and hot. It's kind of my insurance in case it gets thrown into the wash where it shouldn't be I know that it will survive later.

My daughter boughte several yards of nice floral flannel. You've inspired me to not make pj's 😁👍
Another lovely make. Thanks for the tips about sewing that neckline. I always manage to end up with a pucker at the bottom corners so will try your method next time. Love how your little black cat always gets in on the catwalk at the end 😂
I loveeeeee flannel too........I use it alot ....love the warmth it gives in winter
Nice cozy,warm,soft looking blouse. Beautiful color. Right up my alley. Thanks for sharing.

Cute comfy top!! 😊
Oh Marie, that’s beautiful, never thought of flannel
Thank you! I'm preparing to make this blouse and needed help understanding how to navigate the neckline.
Enjoy the summer months! 😊

Thank you! Flannel + Peasant Blouse = Favorite!
I love the print of your flanelle. Beautiful as usual
I own this pattern but have never sewn that type of front before so I have been avoiding it. Now I’m excited to try it. Thank you. Nice winter shirt.
Beautiful choice

Looks sooo warm and comfy. The pattern would probably make a great nightgown too!
Marie, I just love how this top looks on you. Your choice of using flannel was perfect.
Awesome, I think I would narrow the sleeves a bit, less puffy, but I love your choice of color, looks great.
Love your sew alongs, very clear, concise and lots of tips and tricks, awaiting more🤗
Great tips in this video.
Love the song in the beginning. ❤️

I’ve subscribed as you are such a good teacher x I’m from wales in uk
I was in the middle of actually making a shirt with this pattern.
I did it all wrong so now I have to start all over with different material...wish I'd seen your video 2 weeks ago thank you for
I love it
Beautiful as usual ❤
Excellent video. Thank you. 😊😊😊
Thank you for this video. I could not make sense of the neck line from the pattern at all.
It turned out great love it

good morning sunshine
Hi Marie. How did you make the marking for the darts, I see how you did the 3 dots,,,Thank you
I'm wondering if you plan to make a video on Simplicity 1800 ?
That's a cute one. I should pick it up 😉
@@mybucoliclife thanks
Hi Marie. I have the hole puncher, but where did you purchase the leather patch that you use between the pattern and the fabric? At the moment, I'm using a piece of cardboard. But as you can imagine, I have to replace that quite often. Can you let me know? And thanks for the wonderful tutorials. I'm self-taught and learning so much! Warm Regards from Maryland. :)
If you have an old leather belt, I would cut a piece off of that to use. Or maybe something from an old purse. I'm using a leather coaster right now 🤣
@@mybucoliclifea leather coaster. Ok i'll google for one of those. it seems perfect!!
Why do you prewash in cold water and not in warm water ?
I actually always wash in hot. I must have misspoke. Even when the fabric calls for cold water or warm water, I always pre wash and hot. It's kind of my insurance in case it gets thrown into the wash where it shouldn't be I know that it will survive later.
@@mybucoliclife i do the same.
What do you use as a base to make the punches? IMA NEWBIE
