Just finished my drop shoulder mock up and it is perfect! I did this so quickly, and on the first try; I couldn’t believe how easy it was! Thank you for this amazing tutorial!!
Hi Alisa, i have been thinking on going back to sew something for myself, and your videos gave me such an inspiration, thank you so much for sharing. I have been binge watching your video's in order to catch up!!
Hello I have been watching on UA-cam I love your work and all the tops you have made. I wonder is there any those pattern would work with cotton fabric. I had a lot of cotton med to light fabrics I know you work a lot of knit fabrics. We don’t have a fabric store close our town. Most is mennonites store or their home. So you see why I bought cotton fabric. I have been doing quilts. I’m taking a break from it. But would love to make couple of your top. I’m a plus size person 😬 thank you for showing all the tops you had made I’m really enjoy and new ways of tips
Erin, hi! In all of the Instruction sheets available for Members on the first page there is a list of materials, and the fabric type is listed as well. Also in Members Extra video I usually go a little deeper on the fabric choice of the project. Tops that would work with cotton (some can be done with medium/light weight, some need lightweight fabric)- - ua-cam.com/video/ixil6UyKhTc/v-deo.html - ua-cam.com/video/AGY3Z-KaKLU/v-deo.html - ua-cam.com/video/UkfmkfsZNiY/v-deo.html - ua-cam.com/video/qK-DjBS0HdY/v-deo.html - ua-cam.com/video/1v4gyz_h84Y/v-deo.html - ua-cam.com/video/AJkrrx7-ykA/v-deo.html - ua-cam.com/video/TC3fBWNiO9U/v-deo.html I hope this helps!
Your videos are great. Thank you! I reference them often on how to make changes to patterns I already have. I think you offer the right amount of explanation in a nice concise way. Much appreciated! 🙌 For my project today I don't have enough fabric to add sleeves for my tee so drop shoulder is perfect.
Hi! You are so brilliant, sweet and awesome! Thank you! If I am modifying a long sleeve into a drop shoulder - do you have a tutorial on how to adjust the sleeve pattern piece? Thank you again!!
Thank you so much, this was a very good tutorial. I've just started sewing, but you made this look so easy and understandable that I'm going to give it a go! ❤
Thank you SO much for your phenomenal tutorials. They are so complete and easy to follow. Your instructions are spot on. You have brought my sewing expertise to a new level. Bravo Alisa!👌🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
With a lower cap height, but very similar to the normal sleeve. I have a video on how to draft a standard sleeve - take a look at it, you will understand.
Kathleen, juts go to my channel page (click on my channel name) and you will see that I have sorted all videos by topics, so that way you can see what interest you. I would start with knit bodice block - you will be able to use it as a base for so many garments in the future. :)
Hi! Just discovered this channel and I love it! I'm really into 80s style and I know dropped shoulders were a big feature, so this is gonna be super helpful! Question, if you wanted to draft a set-in sleeve to go with this, would the process be the same as for the regular bodice/sleeve?
Thank you so much for this tutorial. Can you please make a video on how to draft and sew a we fitted trouser. I have a big problem with the crotch please
Hi, I loved your videos, and learned a lot from you, I followed the blue linen top video,and made a pattern and a mock up, but my armhole is not very defined, and felt tight, so I thought I will try this one, but it is really confused me, from the point when you adjusted armhole, then the front and back is not the same length, do we just add some length at the buttom? If not And how do I line up the waist line in this pattern if they are already different length, I could not figure it out, please help me🤔
Use the mock up you made for the blue linen top and adjust it first instead of trying other options. First identify where and why does it feel tight. Second - the armhole in a drop shoulder top isn't defined to begin with, because it is a drop shoulder design. Pput the mock up on yourself, use chalk or other marking tools and mark how much lower you need the armhole to be and any other adjustments. Transfer those adjustments onto a pattern paper. Then use the same mock up and alter one side with the adjustments. Put it back on and see which side you like better. Note: armhole length does not have to match, the back armhole is usually longer or vice versa depending on design/figure, you are not sewing your armhole together, you are sewing shoulder seams and side seams - those have to match.

Whaaaat? 2:20 am - you should be sleeping :) but in all fairness, I do my sewing at night as well :)
@@ThoughtfulCreativity exactly.. it's so calm and peaceful during that time 😊

Great tutorial. How do you draft an arm to fit a dropped shoulder design?
With a lower cap height, but very similar to the normal sleeve. I have a video on how to draft a standard sleeve - take a look at it, you will understand.
If you can already sew but want to make the MOST of your videos , where do you suggest I start? Thanks so much
Kathleen, juts go to my channel page (click on my channel name) and you will see that I have sorted all videos by topics, so that way you can see what interest you. I would start with knit bodice block - you will be able to use it as a base for so many garments in the future. :)

Question, if you wanted to draft a set-in sleeve to go with this, would the process be the same as for the regular bodice/sleeve?

Hi!! How do I add a long sleeve to this pattern?
Hello there, I have multiple videos on the channel for long sleeve drop shoulder tops.
Did you use binding for the drop shoulder top?
Debbie, hi! You can do binding or rolled/pin hem - both look wonderful on the sleeves.
Hi mam.....very nice
Is it possible to turn this into a dress like the ones the ones in Asian fashion?
I have a video about turning any top into dress, please watch that video for your answer.
@@ThoughtfulCreativity thanks
If I drop my shoulder a bit more don't I have to lower the armpit as well?
