Beautiful blouses Carole
Thank you so much! 🧵😊
Hi Carole! Neckline doesn't look too low on the Simplicity blouse. Just right given the necklace you are wearing with it in the video. However, I do like the matching collar points on the Patina blouse. Both look great; both are beautiful. Can't say I like one more than the other. 🥰 Now, to watch the other video!
Both are beautiful. I feel the space at the top, on the big four, is calling for large buttons :)
Large buttons! That is an idea. Thanks so much for your comment and have a good weekend 🧵😊
Carol that blouse is not low at all, it looks lovely on you
Thank you so much, that does make me feel a little better! 🧵😊
Carole, you can put some pretty lace across that gap and it would look fine. You can also adjust the front pattern pieces to go on the fold and eliminate the button placket altogether. The Patina looks better on you, but the other one is fixable. Glory be! You admitted that an indi pattern was better, haha! I think you’re coming along to the dark side!
Thanks Sue. If that blouse was a little bigger on me I could have eliminated the placket but sadly due to me thinking I am a size or two bigger than I am I didn't have that option! I will wear the pink blouse as is as I love the fabric but if I want another similar top I will make the Patina as I know that works. You could see it pained me to admit the Indie was the winner 😂. 🧵😊
Carole, they both look beautiful on you. I don't think the Simplicity is too low. I do agree that I like the Patina is slightly better but not much. Happy 2 year Anniversary! 🥳💖
Thanks Grace, that blouse doesn’t look low on camera, I think it’s because I am looking down 😂. Thanks for your Anniversary wishes, your two years will come up faster than you think! Have a wonderful week 😘🌸💕
Congratulations on your two year anniversary. The blouse is lovely but I do prefer the Patina for all the reasons you have said. I’ve made three Patinas, two long sleeve and one short sleeve. It’s a comfortable blouse to wear either dressed up or down. I also loved your two year anniversary vlog with your books from the 70’s. I don’t recall having any sewing books room the 70’s but I did have other project style books/things to do on a rainy day. Oh my goodness you took me back. Different times and it was good to reminisce with you 😃.
Thank you Ann, I can’t believe how fast the two years has gone! I am so glad you enjoyed a look back at those books and it brought back similar memories for you. I really want to make another Patina now as you are right, because the collar is flat it can be casual or dressed up, not surprised it is such a popular pattern, shame about the Simplicity one! Have a wonderful weekend 🧵😊
The fabrics are beautiful and I like both tops but I agree the Patina fits you better and looks nicer on. Thanks for sharing them both. Happy Anniversary.
Thanks so much for your Anniversary wishes, time does fly by! The Patina is the better blouse but I am still wearing the pink one don't worry. 🧵😊
Happy 2 yr anniversary!! I love both your blouses, but the patina is my favorite!
Thank you so much, I really do like the Patina. I really appreciate you being loyal to my channel 🧵😊
Congratulations on filming for two years! Your viewers thank you 😀! Both blouses are so pretty with such lovely fabrics - I like the way the Patina meets in the middle, though if I didn't know that was an option I would think the Simplicity one was perfectly fine. It is hard to know about sizing with Big 4 - I have made things that "should" have been my size going by the packet measurements and they were huge on me! Seems like it's a case-by-case determination depending on the style, the person who designed the pattern, and maybe whether or not there is some so-called vanity sizing included in the design. I always get tripped up with the amount of ease when I flat measure pattern pieces to see just how big the finished item will be...maybe...🤔
Hi there, thanks so much for your comment and being so kind! I was silly re the sizing, I did read the envelope and knew it may come up small but just barged ahead as like you say, the Big 4 always seem to come up larger! Not this time 😂. Sometimes I do measure the pattern pieces but I didn't even do that on this occasion. However, I do love the blouse and will still wear it but the Patina was better. 🧵😊
Both blouses are so pretty on you with your lime green trousers!
Thank you so much. I didn't realise until I put the trousers on that they would go with them! 🧵😊
Really interesting. I thought the same about that collar not coming to a V like the Patina as soon as I saw it. Happy birthday 🥳
Thanks Debbie. I don't know why I didn't really spot that on the pattern cover but then I suppose the model had the view with the bow on. Thanks for your Channel birthday wishes! 🧵😊
I think I prefer the design of Patina on you rather than the Simplicity blouse, but prefer the lighter fabric on you ❤ Congratulations on your two year anniversary on You Tube!!
Now that is an interesting take on the two results! It is the gap in the collar isn't it, the Patina was so much neater on me but I will still wear the pink as it is so pretty. Thanks so much for your anniversary wishes, time flies!! xx
Did not see this outcome coming 😂😂😂
Incredible how similar they are… really fun to compare the two!
Why oh why didn't that Simplicity one win 😂. I had to be honest though and really wish I had just made another Patina in the pink fabric! Thanks for watching 💗
If you have any pink fabric left, you might try a bow where the collars meet.
Thanks Kathleen. I think that is why there is a gap as one of the views was designed to have a bow. It is a little too formal for me really to include one. I am going to see how I go wearing it but thanks for the idea 🧵😊
They both look great Carole, the fabrics are really pretty. Congratulations on your 2nd anniversary, I love your channel.❤
Thank you so much. I will wear the blouse because that fabric just makes me happy! Thanks for your support on my channel 🧵😊
Your blouse is absolutely gorgeous Carole! We were shocked when you said you preferred the Patina over a Big 4 😂
But the collar not meeting in the middle would be really annoying. We had to laugh when you were talking about your sleeve when I had so much trouble with my sleeves as well!
Thank you so much for collaborating with us. You have made a beautiful blouse. ❤
It did pain me to say I prefered the Patina but I had to be honest and the reason just stood out a bit didn't it! We were cursed with the sleeves on this collab weren't we. Looking forward to doing another collab with you soon. Thanks again 💗🧵
Beautiful blouses, Carole.
I do get what you mean, re flushing. I don't mind it yet ;) probably in few years time it will bother me.
Love your fabric.
I do love the look of other views of this Simplicity pattern.
I am tempted by Patina. Congratulations on 2 years
Thank you so much Agata! The Patina blouse is a lovely shaped blouse, I was surprised you said you hadn't made it actually. I will certainly make another but will wear this pink one as the fabric was so pretty. I forgot to say I bought the fabric from Eco Bee!!!
2 years can't be far away for you either?
Hope you are a little better xxx
They both turned out really well but I prefer the fit and style of the pink one. Also, that gap at the top o the button plaquette looks nice with your necklace. Just my opinion and I'm not the one wearing them! Nice job on both Carol.💗
Thank you so much Katherine. Someone had the idea of wearing a bigger necklace to draw the attention away and sounds like from your comment that would work! I will certainly wear the pink one as I love the fabric. 🧵😊
The Simplicity blouse is lovely, but I can totally see why you prefer the Patina (I do too 😊). I do hope you wear the Simplicity though because the fabric is gorgeous - looks very retro! This was a super fun collab to watch. Xx 💞
That fabric is just soooo pretty isn't it, don't worry I will wear it. Darn that Patina blouse and the fact it won 😂. It would have been a tough call if that did collar meet the same though! I bet you enjoyed seeing me squirm and admit the Indie was better 😂. Thanks for watching xx💗
@@socarole66 😂 It was funny how badly you wanted the Simplicity pattern to win!
Happy Anniversary/youtube birthday!!! I can't believe it we have it on video, Carole chose the Indie as the winner!!!They both look Gorgeous on you, but I agree about the Patina, it comes together better in the front. I'm off to check out your friends' video! XO
Thank you thank you!!! People are never going to forget I admitted I loved the Patina more are they?! The pink blouse is so pretty I will wear it anyway! Thanks for watching and I hope you enjoyed this collab. xxx💗
Great vlog,Carole! I love the patina blouse and it was so interesting to see the comparison. I see quite a few similar patterns between big four and Indies but I mostly sew the indie patterns even though I love big four and keep buying them 😁
Thanks Adrienne, I didn't want the Patina to win but it is such a great pattern. I love how you are still attracted to the Big 4, its the prices isn't it!! Thanks for watching 🧵😊
Both blouses are very pretty! I love a nice (mini print) floral top because it can be worn with so many different solid color skirts or pants and jeans. I totally get the need to secure a lower cut top so you don’t suffer the infamous “wardrobe malfunction.” 😅 I’m the same. The suggestion for adding a piece to it might be worth investigating and sharing on your channel if it proves helpful. Just a thought. 😊
You are right about mini prints Norma. That blouse has so many colours in it and I didn't realise until I put it on that it would go with the green trousers! I think my fear of revealing anything has to do with my Mother being so judgemental of ladies with cleavages😂. I will wear it for a while and see how I go but maybe with a pink vest underneath! Thanks for your comment 🧵😊
Yay for the patina. I love the construction of it! I've made 4 versions and can see more. It looks nice without the collar too! Thanks Carole 😊
Thanks Annette. I didn't realise there was a version with the collar, I will have to look into that. Thanks so much for your lovely comment and watching 🧵😊
@socarole66 there isn't, you just leave it off and use the facing. It looks like the fibre mood Norma blouse but without as much of a puffy sleeve.
Congratulations on your 2year anniversary.I have so enjoyed every episode.💖 I do like your blouse and I don’t think that the neckline is to low. Your Patina is lovely and it was no surprise to learn that you were able to find an almost duplicate of the Indie pattern in the big four. I did enjoy the look through your early sewing books in the previous video.Your little hedgehog pin cushion chimed with me as I have a similar little mouse😂. More power to you Carole in creating future excellent videos.🌹🌹🌹
Oh my goodness, thank you so much for your lovely comment! I do like the Simplicity blouse and will certainly wear it but on comparison the Patina has the better collar...sadly!
I really appreciate the fact you always watch my videos as I know time is precious for everyone. Thanks again and have a good weekend 🧵😊
I prefer the Patina too. Violet handmade are a talented mum and daughter 🙂
They really are talented aren't they and so modest. They really don't realise how talented they are. Thanks for watching 🧵😊
I can see why you prefer the Patina- I do too for all the reasons you outlined. However the Simplicity does not look too low at all! Probably looking down on the neckline it will look lower to you but it really doesn’t to others looking at you. It looks lovely on you. My weight fluctuates so for sizing I am very careful to look at finished garment measurements- not always easy with older Big 4 so I measure pattern pieces which is a pain. Did laugh at your lost sleeve story- things like that happen to me all the time😂😂😂. Happy Sewing and Happy Anniversary 😊. Lynne
Thanks Lynne, you are probably right that from my perspective it does look lower than I think it is. I will wear the blouse as I am in love with the fabric and see how I get on. Honestly I was in such a panic over that sleeve 😂, worse because it was for a collab! Thanks so much for your anniversary wishes and for being so loyal to my channel 🧵😊
Happy 2year anniversary! Long may you continue 😊 ❤️ I prefer the collar on the patina blouse for the same reason as you, I don’t like deep necklines, Xx
Thanks Anita, I can't believe it is 2 years. The collar is so much better on the Patina isn't it? I will wear the blouse though as the fabric is so pretty. Thanks for watching 🧵😊
I prefer the Patina too because of where the neckline meets
I know, it is so much nicer and neater isn’t it. Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment 🧵😊
Carole! You shared your story of the lost project bag but then you never said where you found it. Was it in an odd spot? You left us hanging. haha. I didn't care for the Simplicity pattern for the same reason, the extra space between the collar at the top of the button placket. But I do agree with others, it's not too low for you at all and the fabric is very pretty.
Thanks Rita for your comment. I didn't say did I and someone else asked me! It was neatly filed along with some other project bags but because panic took over I wasn't properly looking 😂. It has taught me a lesson to label those bags from now on! Thanks again 🧵😊
I love this blouse! I don’t think it’s too revealing at all. And the fabric is beautiful. It looks like a vintage blouse. I hope you can get used to the opening because otherwise looks so pretty on you. I like it so much I just ordered it on eBay.
Thank you so much! I will wear the blouse don't worry, I am so in love with the fabric and as you say, I will get used to the low front. Lots of people are giving me ideas to save any embarrassment! Good luck with yours 🧵😊
I don't think the blouse is too low, both are lovely
Thank you so much Judy for taking the time to comment 🧵😊
I have to agree with you. I like the neckline of the Patina better.
Thank you so much for your comment and I completely agree with you, such a shame I can't adjust it but I will still wear it. 🧵😊
I can quite see why you prefer the Patina and so do I ! What a shame you had such a problem with the Simplicity, but I’m so glad you made it work for you in the end. Both blouses look really nice on you and the fabrics are lovely. Where did you find your project bag in the end ? I have to confess, it sounds remarkably like something that would happen to me 😆 Thanks, as usual, for the video Carole 😊x
Thanks so much Shelly. The project bag had been neatly filed along with some other 'to do' things but I have learnt my lesson now to label them!! It was one of those things where panic took over and I wasn't properly looking 😂. I was too busy emptying all the bins! 🧵😊
@@socarole66 Well that definitely sounds like me 🤣 Have a great weekend x
Hi Carole. That was a great review. Those blouses are really pretty. I'm going to get the Patina blouse pattern. I did watch Violet_May_Handmade collaboration and a few more. I look forward to watching more of them and always enjoy watching yours. Congratulations on two years🎉😊
Thank you so much for watching and also going over to Samantha and Caitin's channel. The Patina is a really good pattern I will admit. 2 years on and I can't believe it, thank you so much for being loyal to my channel 🧵😊
Carol, I do like the simplicity blouse neckline, but as you said, too low cut. You’ve probably thought about it, but when I have a low neckline I will wear a matching thin strap shirt.
Thank you, I probably will get something as you suggested. I went to wear the blouse the other day but chickened out and couldn't find anything suitable to wear underneath.
I appreciate you commenting, thank you 😊🧵
they blouse is lovely and congrats on your 2nd anniversary
Thank you so much Lydia, I really appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment 🧵😊
Thank you for sharing this! I just purchased the Patina blouse pattern and plan to make it! Love that blouse! Beautiful! 😊
Oh good luck! Honestly it's a great pattern and I will certainly make it again. I don't think I have seen a bad review of it. Thanks for watching 🧵😊
Love the simplicity because of the placket area, it adds something different and looks lovely on you. Wear it for date night 🥰
Thank you Cindy, I hadn't really thought about the fact that the placket makes it a little different. Thank you so much for that fresh perspective on it. Date night?!? That never happens!! 🧵😊
You could make a little modesty panel to place at the bottom of the collar of the Simplicity blouse so it doesn't look so low. I love both of them, and quite like the gap between the collar on the Simplicity one for the button placket. I've bought patterns specifically for that detail before. There is also the Kenny Blouse from Style Arc, that looks very much like the patina. I have those two that I want to co a comparison between. But I wish I had your Simplicity one too. But I'm pretty sure I don't.
Thank you so much for your comment, I do have a little bit of fabric left so I could adjust it if I felt uncomfortable. I will wear it a bit first and see how I go. The Patina good pattern and it pained me to admit I prefered it to the Simplicity one! Thanks for watching 🧵😊
I find on looking that the independent online pattern sales can more or less be found most styles can be found in the big four. As in Butterick b6895 is a dead ringer for the patina blouses, also no wide placket.
Oh yes you are right! Butterick 6895 is a dead ringer and so is another New Look pattern I've found. I kind of wish I had made that one instead but I had the Simplicity one. Thanks for watching and have a great weekend 🧵😊
Beautiful makes Carol. I am the same way about low riding tops. I don’t like having to be self conscious all day about a low cut top. I just finished my first patina and I love it. I laughed when you were missing your sleeve piece because that happens to me all the time. It’s usually next to the missing coffee mug 🤣🤣🤣. Both blouses are in beautiful fabrics!!!
Thank you Kathleen. I have said many times but I swear I have a Sewing room poltergeist that moves things around 😂. I have lots of 1/2 filled mugs of tea in my sewing room as I always forget about them! Thanks for watching 🧵😊
I love your patina blouse. I considered buying the pattern but bought New Look 6707 earlier this spring. I think the collar meets closer like the patina. I haven't sewn it yet. 😕 Cheryl 🇨🇦
Thanks Cheryl, someone else has said about the New Look pattern and I had never come across that one. It is exactly the look of the Patina. Good luck with the 6707 and let me know how you get on. 🧵😊
You have made a beautiful blouse but it is a shame you are not totally happy with it. Lovely fabric too.
Thank you Ann. Don't worry I will certainly wear it as the fabric is just so pretty, it just wasn't quite as nice as the Patina. Thanks for watching 🧵😊
Both your blouses are lovely and look so pretty on you as well. I have made the Patina blouse multiple times and love each one. I did put a fuller sleeve on several of my long sleeved versions. I too "loose" things while sewing and it's so annoying. Honestly, I spend so much time looking for things. I don't have a dedicated sewing room-I have my machines in our bedroom, and of course my sewing supplies. But I cut things out in our living room, iron in our hallway-so I am constantly leaving something in another room and having to back track to retrieve things. Oh well, I guess that's how I get in my "steps" LOL! Happy Sewing!🥰
Thanks for your comment Theresa and I am not surprised the Patina is a winner for you too! That did make me laugh that you lose things between the cutting and sewing room. I do exactly the same, my 'cutting' table in the sewing room is always so cluttered I still use our dining room table. Those pesky pattern pieces are always floating to the floor when I don't notice and I always lose them! Snap 😂 Have a great weekend 🧵😊
@@socarole66 ❤
I think I'd prefer the simplicity pattern. It's different and not too low. Lovely make as always. Congratulations on your 2 year anniversary 🎉🎉🎉
Thank you Ann, the Simplicity pattern was slightly better fitting and less boxy that is for sure. Thanks for watching and your good wishes. 🧵😊
I am the same way about not wanting to show cleavage. I could tell you were standing just so, so as not to flash. Both blouses are pretty, but I prefer the Patina for the same reason. Love the collar and how it comes together in the front. Bonus is it goes in quick and easy.
Ha ha that is so funny Christine, you spotted my avoidance of embarrassment! The Patina definitely wins and now I want to make another, like you said the blouse just worked didn't it. Have a super weekend xx
I like the Patina better also. Where did you get the fabric for the Simplicity one? It is gorgeous!!
Ahh Sharon!! I thought this comment had disappeared so in my Friday Sews this week I mention where I bought the fabric. Now I can see your comment again I can tell you, it was Eco Bee Fabrics in Ireland. Thanks so much for watching 🧵😊
It's difficult to choose, they are both lovely. I'm glad you're going to wear the simplicity because it is very pretty but the patina is great too and easier fitting 😂
Oh I will wear the Simplicity one as I am in love with the fabric don't worry! I so wanted the Simplicity one to be better 😂. Thanks for watching as always and your lovely comments 🧵😊
Mmmi do like the patina blouse i see what you mean with the big 4 but I don't think its too low but if you uncomfortable wearing it your choice another enjoyable video 😊😊😊
Thanks Robyn, I think the blouse will be ok and I don't planning on doing any job interviews or anything anyway 😂. I want to make another Patina now! Thanks for watching 🧵😊
It seems to me that the Simplicity has that space in the collar for the neck tie bow.
Yes you are right, if I had done the bow then it wouldn't have stood out so much but I wasn't keen on that view, too formal for me. I am sure I will get used to it! Thanks for watching 🧵😊
I don't feel the blouse is too low but you have to be comfortable..Make a piece of fabric the shape of a v to add to the 1779.. I made a dress once that was really too low and just added a fabric v to add to it.. lots of compliments on it.. No one knows what its supposed to look like
I agree with the triangle. I would make it in a solid color with a bit of trim across the top.
Thank you so much, great idea! 🧵😊
Thank you so much Cindy for that idea. You are right to make an additional piece and unless I walk around with the pattern envelope, no one will ever know! Thanks for taking the time to comment 🧵😊
The Simplicity pattern fits you better. The patina moves up in the back. But both lovely blouses..❤
Thank you so much for that, it is a really interesting comment and I am now going to go back and rewatch my modelling videos. Great spot thank you! 🧵😊
I would have absolutely no problem wearing the simplicity blouse at all, the v would be exactly where I’d want it. It’s maybe a more ‘coffee with the girls’ than office wear for some people a little more reserved than me though. I’m heavier built than you so it balances me out better than having a higher neckline. Saying that this blouse is perfect for a pussybow, which, if a little structured, would cover any cleavage that might show. If it was detachable with a brooch pin or something you would have a choice on how adventurous you’re feeling on any specific occasion. You could also create different bows to change the look, a lacy one, same fabric, single colour etc. if wearing it ‘as is’ try wearing a striking necklace that sits from the décolletage to where you normally have your necklines. This will draw the eye and pull the look to a ‘confident’ tasteful appearance which you could pull off everyday of the week with your lovely figure. Xx
Now you have just had a genius idea thank you! Others had mentioned about a bow but I really don't need a formal blouse most of the time... but if I did then I could have the security of the bow and the distraction from the V!! You are right about the bigger necklace as well, you know your styling stuff! Thank you so much for all your ideas, you should be a personal shopper (if you aren't already!). 💗👏🏼
@@socarole66 ohhh I just watch too much UA-cam 🤣. Xx
I have made the Simplicity pattern, and made changes as I went through the process. I put in a back yoke and short sleeves and had made a larger size than I needed and I refolded the front so it ended higher. I am quite tall (5’ 10”) and somewhat busty so it worked for me.
That sounds like some brilliant changes to the pattern and would definitely improve it. Interesting to hear you made a larger size to adjust the front. I thought as a fair comparison I had to stick to the pattern but it really didn't look as good as the Patina. Well done and thanks for watching 🧵😊
when i am too conscious of a cleavage i wear a heavy necklace or a scarf it makes the trick
I hadn't thought of that, what a clever idea to draw the attention upwards. Thanks for watching 🧵😊
Yes the Patina is a winner 🏆
I knew a lot of people would be happy about that!
Thanks for watching 🧵😊
N6707 is your simplicity pattern.
Thank you! I just checked out that pattern and you are right. Maybe I should have tried that one 😂. Thanks so much for watching 🧵😊
