Those are amazing garments! I enjoyed watching Jenni's excitement and pride in her summer makes; she really did a great job! And Whitney, she was just beaming. Loved this video! So lovely to see Jenni on the channel too!
What beautiful garments you've created, Jenni - you should be super proud of yourself! And I think they're extra-special since you made them with the help of a friend... talk about embedding memories right into the fibers of our clothes!
Great job, Jenni, those makes are just gorgeous. Isn't it great when someone tells you how beautiful your clothes are and you can say, I made this? Such a high.
Well Done Jenni! Your smile and sparkle shows just how much you enjoyed the process! You should be so proud of yourself…. I would love a friend to sew with!
This is a "feel good" video. It was so nice to see Jenny's enthusiasm and Whitney's face beaming with pride. I found myself smiling all the way through. You did a fantastic job on all your makes, Jenny! They fit your style to a tee.
Wow! Congratulations, Jenni!!! Everything you made is perfect for you and the silk fabric is just gorgeous! You did a great job with your in-house sewing teacher to help 😄 - and now other people can learn from Whitney as well - good news!
Jenni, I'm SO impressed with your makes ! You tackled a lot for a new garment sewist, at least in my opinion . Congrats on your sewing successes with those beautiful dresses. Wooohoo !!!!
Congratulations, Jenny! I also made the Charlie Caftan. I've been sewing for 60 years (yikes!) and even I found the little band to be tricky! So kudos to you for tackling it. Wear your garments with pride, and definitely brag!
Hello Whitney and Jenny l really enjoyed this video, Jenny is a natural. Those dresses you made are beautiful and flowy. I like the wrap pants , very cute on you. Whitney your outfit you're wearing is too cute, l love the fabric you made them in. Thank you both for your wonderful friendship, it's good to see friends work together ❤ 🥰🙏👏👏👏👍
Jenni what a great job you did! The first dress looks so cute on you-I like the length on you. And I have to say I am Very impressed that you even attempted a collar band + a button placket on first project back. You go, Girl!
🎉 congratulations Jenni and welcome back to garment sewing. I think it’s fabulous that Whitney had a mentor who taught her so much and now she is passing along her knowledge to you. What a great way to pay it forward. 😊😊. I do so enjoy a sewing play date with a friend or two, it’s nice to share a love of making and to be able to help and encourage each other. I am finishing up my precious fabric make- a Kyoto dress made from the Nani Iro double gauze I purchased from the French Seams in Indianapolis when I came out for the shirt making class! I even figured a way to line it as the fabric “sticks” to itself. The lining isn’t perfect but I made it work. 🙌. Hopefully I’ll get it posted before I leave for Fredericksburg next Tuesday. 🤞.
Bravo Jenni! Lovely makes. I especially love those pants. I'm so very proud of you. Looking forward to seeing what you make next. What a blessing you and Whitney have in each other ❤
Jenny you did a fantastic job! Job perks- vacation and sick leave and learn how to sew and fit with Whitney. It doesn’t get much better than that. So much fun to sew with a good friend.
Great job Jenni!!! I want you to know that you have my attention with sewing outfits. You also have a great instructor, Whitney, who is a wonderful supporter.
🎉 Yay for you, Jenni!!! Welcome (back) to the sewing community! 👏 Your dress IS beautiful! Both of them are, and I love your pants too! You really jumped in and took on some more difficult aspects of sewing, like the buttonholes and gathering. I tend to be a bit bohemian in what I like myself, so I'll look forward to seeing more of your makes!
Fantastic job Jenni! What a great video this was. I’m a return sewist also and so many things that I did not know until now. Can’t wait to see what your class offers. As always Whitney, love what you bring to the channel. Thank you ladies and bravo 👏🏼❤️
Congratulations Jenny!! They look awesome!! Sewing with friends is the best. I host a sewing night every other Tuesday for my quilting friends. Sew fun!! P.S. I cut a small hole in my Itch To Stitch Comillas dress yesterday with my serger. 😢 Luckily it’s small and I put some fray check on it but my heart sank! Luckily it is my wearable muslin.
Ok just starting the video. Yea Jenny. Talk about jumping in at the deep end with silk as your first garment. Kudos to you. And it is BEAUTIFUL. Love the colours. Love that Charlie. The fabric is beautiful. I really wish I could find some Indian block prints..Gorgeous Those pants are fab. I have a belly so maybe not the best style for me, but they look fabulous on you. Can I move down to your area? I want to sew with you guys. Unfortunately I don’t have any sewing friends and i miss having someone to bounce questions/ideas off. Hence why I send Whitney all these random questions. Love watching both if you, and the 2 different style aesthetics. Keep it up❤❤❤❤❤
Congratulations! I also struggled with the inset panel on the Charlie Caftan, set in sleeves, and the serger has cut my fabric where I didn't want it to. We can make anything. One stitch at a time!
Well done Jenni! Great sews. My only issue with some of my most precious fabrics is they were bought before I went up a few dress sizes and now there isn’t enough for my size. Some of them I have made a top or a tunic instead of a dress but if it was bought for a top initially then there just isn’t enough atm. I hope I can get my weight down again as I get treatment for some of my medical issues.
GO JENNI GO!!!!! wonderful to spend some time with you. you have achieved SO much! great to follow you and watch your journey into sewing. I must admit I was wondering for a few months how long it was going to be before you started to create some awesome clothes. WELL DONE X
I would love make one of the wraps. Is there a pattern to purchase or can you provide the sizes of the rectangles and band you used? Your work is beautiful.
0:02 Hi Jenni and Whitney, Can you please commit on the new pattern company, ready to sew. Do they give finish garment measurements? Do they have cup sizes? I found some patterns I would like to try but I would like a little more detail about the patterns. Do you know what height pattern they draft? Just basic information would be nice. Great Job Jenni, love the makes. ❤🎉
Ready to Sew is a new to us pattern company. We haven't really dipped deep into the catalog, but I would encourage you to jump on their website and contact them with your questions!
Congratulations to Jenny on her sewing successes! I have two questions: the pants that she is wearing in the video… Is the fabric the cornflower blue colour that’s in her palette? I am a Moonlit Summer just like she is and for four years now I have not successfully found clothing or fabric in that cornflower blue color. It’s my best colour and my 2 daughters’ best color, according to color guru. Second question: I understand there’s no pattern for the silk wrap that you started out your sewing journey on, but where did you find the directions? I’ve reread and re-watched, but I’m still none the wiser. I would appreciate information that leads me to that wrap. Thanks and keep up the good sewing!
Those are amazing garments! I enjoyed watching Jenni's excitement and pride in her summer makes; she really did a great job! And Whitney, she was just beaming. Loved this video! So lovely to see Jenni on the channel too!
I'm super proud of her!
Thank you for those sweet words!
You guys are the best!! You make such a great team!! Love your garments, Jenni. Can’t wait to see what you plan to sew next!!
We have a lot of fun together!
I'm looking for my next inspiration!
It’s so fun to see someone discover the thrill of creating their own look. Great job, Jenny, and you are a natural on camera. What a great team.
We have a great time together!
Thank you so much!
Jenni-wow I am so proud of you! You did an outstanding job on your garments. I think that you have the best teacher ever!
I'm so proud of her too!
What beautiful garments you've created, Jenni - you should be super proud of yourself! And I think they're extra-special since you made them with the help of a friend... talk about embedding memories right into the fibers of our clothes!
Yes! Embedding memories into the fibers! I love that statement!
Thank you! I love my dresses!
Great job, Jenni, those makes are just gorgeous. Isn't it great when someone tells you how beautiful your clothes are and you can say, I made this? Such a high.
Right?!
Thank you! It does feel so good to tell people I made it!
@@denisem9407 A compliment on a me-made is my ultimate dopamine rush!
Well Done Jenni! Your smile and sparkle shows just how much you enjoyed the process! You should be so proud of yourself….
I would love a friend to sew with!
We have a lot of fun together!
Thank you! I have a new appreciation for all the time Whitney puts in!
I'm "returning" to sewing since HS Home-ec class, I'm so encouraged by watching you, Jenny. Good Job 👍
Yay! Get back at it!!
We all can learn and relearn new things!
This is a "feel good" video. It was so nice to see Jenny's enthusiasm and Whitney's face beaming with pride. I found myself smiling all the way through. You did a fantastic job on all your makes, Jenny! They fit your style to a tee.
❤️❤️❤️
That is the best part of sewing--nailing my own personal style!
Welcome to garment sewing Jenni! You knocked it out of the park on your garments, and reminded me of the time when I first began sewing! ❤
She has been bitten by the bug!
Great job, Jenny! You’ve inspired me to pull out a stained, worn, but lovely old quilt and make a jacket.
Yes! And send us a picture!
I've been wanting to do that too but I haven't found a good quilt yet.
Wow! Congratulations, Jenni!!! Everything you made is perfect for you and the silk fabric is just gorgeous! You did a great job with your in-house sewing teacher to help 😄 - and now other people can learn from Whitney as well - good news!
❤️❤️❤️
Yay! I'm so excited to help Whitney put together this class!
Lucky you to have a good friend to sew with. I can’t imagine the laughter that was had.
We have a really good time together.
(And cursing when we had to pull out the seam ripper 🤣🤣🤣🤣)

Charming to see Jenni's enthusiasm! It's wonderful to LEARN in any chapter of life! On with it!

I joke with my kids that I'm a lifelong learner so I should always get a student discount 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Not as hard as I thought they would be!
Lovely, Jenni! Welcome to the club :)

Yay!

I'll see if I can get her lured back into the sewing room. It shouldn't take too much encouragment.
Stay tuned. I may have a winter edition!

I am so grateful for my friend to bring me those fabrics back.
Great makes Jenni! I especially love your pants. I’m heading straight over to check out that pattern.
Ready to Sew has a lot of fun patterns!
It's pretty easy!
@@TomKatStitchery yes, they do. I’m having trouble deciding 😂

I've been bitten by the bug. Now I need to go fabric shopping!
@@jayteeTKS oh yeah deffo need to do lots of that……..and do another awesome vlog so we can see what you bought……..haha! excited to see them already;
🤩 Jenni, you’ve created beautiful garments! Thank you for sharing them with us. 😘 Do you have any hints to help with the insert in the Charlie Caftan?
❤️❤️❤️
Go SLOW! It was tricky!
Wrap pants could always get patch pockets on top of the wrap pieces or welt pockets if Jenni is brave enough in future! :)
Great idea!
Maybe in the future!
I would love make one of the wraps. Is there a pattern to purchase or can you provide the sizes of the rectangles and band you used?
Your work is beautiful.
I would google "Ruana Wrap Pattern" There are lots of options out there for free and designed for different weights of fabric
@@TomKatStitchery Thank you
For the pants… could you put patch pockets on the wrap portion? Also, I’m cutting out the pattern for my precious fabric.
Eek! I can't wait to see what you are making!!

I'll defer to Jenni on that one!
I did a little googling to figure out a couple options. Try searching "Ruana sewing pattern"
I've admired the Charlie pattern but I'm curious about underarm and bra exposure. How does that sleeve fit?
❤️❤️❤️
I'm not heavily endowed and I'm not waving my hands in the air like I just don't care much so I'm not too worried about the side exposure.
Hi gals-are there winners for the precious fabric makes 2024?
Yes! Winners have been notified by email! Thanks!
😅cut some things. The dresses look very nice
😄
Thank you!
I need new friends because my friends don't and won't sew.
Join all of us online!
@@TomKatStitchery well I do watch
