    Thank you for this tutorial! I have thought about doing something like this with several of my favourite shirts that have "shrunk" (yeah, right) during Covid. I thought something like this would be quite easy to do but haven't been brave enough to actually try it -- until I watched your video!

    Seems like, if you could add a little "V" of the animal print to the neck band, front and center, it would bring it all together nicely. Thanks for a great tutorial.

    To see stitching or where you want to stitch on black fabric, run a piece of white chalk or a sliver of soap along the line or over the stitches you want to remove

    Thank you for this tutorial. I’m currently making the Wrapped in love dress but I’m really confused about the skirt part. I’ve watched the videos on this but the pieces are already cut. The bit that is confusing me is the front bit where it goes into two for the split. It says front cut two (cut two here not on a fold for the skirt front. Pieces are mirrored, but where the arrow points to is not on a cut line. Really confused. Is there any way you could do a cutting tutorial for the wrapped in love skirt please? Thank you 😊

    Does the fabric have to be a stretch knit fabric or could it be a regular 100% cotton material?

  • @eeddoosshh
    @eeddoosshh Рік тому +3

    The result looks splendid! And you make it look so easy 🙂
    One question: (how) did you finish the bottom hem of the fabric? Did I miss something?
    Many thanks and way to go ☀️

    • @udhe4421
      @udhe4421 Рік тому

      Yes I was also wondering how she finished the bottom of the top. Idk but I didn't like the way she explains stuff. Gonna look for a different tutorial.

    What about the hem? Is it just a cut edge without folding it over?

  • @SophiaTellman
    @SophiaTellman Рік тому

    Is it possible to make the upper back of a shirt bigger by cutting down the middle and putting and inverted triangle gusset in? Snagged a really cool printed blouse at a thrift store that is a little too tight across my shoulders in the back.

    • @EllieandMacPatternsLLC
      @EllieandMacPatternsLLC  Рік тому

      Hi, adding to the back would give you a little extra room but the sleeves would still be tight so you would actually want to add room there as well.

    • @EllieandMacPatternsLLC
      @EllieandMacPatternsLLC  Місяць тому

      You would need to pick it open and then add the panel to that length or cut it off and have the short be a bit shorter. Your choice! ❤

  • @patriciajrs46
    @patriciajrs46 7 місяців тому

    What if I want the extra room under the armpit? I don't think I want that point at the top of that triangle.

    Could you just put the pattern paper under the shirt and trace?
