I really love that you show the muslin sample first and how you adjust to your size! Excellent for me to learn from you! You’re my favorite right now!!!!
Thank you so much. I really am struggling to get patterns for my size and it is so nice to someone with a fuller body showing how to do this. Patterns for the fuller body never sits the same way it does for the skinny body type.
they've updated this pattern as well since this review- I'm fairly certain the new plus size range includes the dart I had to add. So I'm interested to see if it sews up similar to my adjustment.
Hello from western Canada - I just subscribed after watching this video. Excellent job! You are a very good teacher. I'm an experienced sewer however I will be sewing a silk cami for my future daughter-In-Law and will have to do a FAB as well as insert a dart - so am happy with your explanation of your adjustments.
Beautiful job on the Cami......loved the adjustments and the final garment. Looks nice on you. This vid. will be added to my "watch later" collection to keep for future references. Thanks
Thank you for sharing this! I'm making this right now, just finished making a muslim and really confused about the fit. I might need to try drafting my own pattern with all the problems with the fit. I love the fabric that you used!!!
Very nice Paige! I did a video on how to grade this pattern up, but when I wear it, it rides up, so I think I need to insert some darts, so was interesting to watch your video. Looks lovely on! x
Looks great ! Well done, love it loose, very flattering. Few people are standard, most sewers are unique and need to make lots of adjustments to get a tried and true. Cashmerrette patterns are a go to for curvy sewers and the other pattern companies need to wake up to the curvy market. It is difficult to go into a shop and buy of the rack, and for me that is a huge incentive to be a maker along with the joy of creativity!
Of course! That's part of the best part of sewing- you can edit the patterns to make sure you're getting the best fit! Cashmerette is great, I'm actually friends with Jenny the owner of the company! She's a sweet heart.
You're a fantastic sewer. Thank you so much for making this, its so helpful and I loved that you did french seams! Those pattern weights are amazing! Please make that video!
You are amazing! Was so happy to see the fitting process in action. I feel like I skip through this part, hoping the outcome will just fit. But I am often disappointed that I didn't take the extra time to fit properly. Thank you for this awesome video!
I enjoyed your tutorial and appreciated seeing how you made the adjustments, particularly the swayback. Your cami was so pretty! Thank you for sharing!
You always sew what I have my eye on! Will have to try this and see. Did anyone else have trouble with it in CSCC? I'm worried I'll also have to do a ton of fitting but you make it look relatively easy
From what I could see in the Curvy Sewing Collective group the general consensus was that you really need to add a dart if you're chestier. I don't think it lays as intended otherwise. It wasn't too complicated. Fitting anything is relatively easy if you make enough toiles!
Wow, I love the finished product. And it looks amazing with that wonderful black skirt. I've just got my pattern and I suspect I'm going to have to make some adjustments, your videos is so useful. Thanks
Hi! I am sewing the cami now and need the exact same adjustments. I haven’t done a sway back adj before so it was great to see it being done on this exact pattern!! Thanks for sharing. If you do the straps at the back when it is still right sides together the stitching remains on the inside giving a cleaner finish. Have you sewn the curvy pattern version of this released last year?

Love and am impressed with your use of appropriate tools to get a proper form fitting garment. Great video.

Really love the muslin fitting comparison, really helps to see the difference that the adjustments make
Great sew along- very detailed and well done! By the way this cami looks great on you ;)
Great tutorial! I like that you showed how you made the adjustments to the pattern to make a better fit. It fit you perfectly!
It's absolutely gorgeous! And you are so so good at explaining (and your voice is lovely to listen to!). Thanks for an excellent video!

I tried to avoid doing darts, but alas my boobs wouldn't allow it.
Your cami looks great on you! Well done. Thanks for such a nice sew along/tutorial.

I will make that video! They're a great way to use up scraps.
An excellent tutorial Paige. And the finished garment actually looks super on you.

Thank you for showing the importance/issues of fitting! I'd love to see a video on how you create your pattern weights.

Great job - love your fabric choices!
Just love it I have some similar fitting problems definitely watch this again 😀
Maybe some of the alterations I did can help you out as well!
Great video, thanks for sharing and the cami looks great.
It looks nice on you
I love that fabric. Great video. I like the top on you. Do you sew standing up?
Yes, for the most part! I have my sewing machine on the counter and it justs makes sense to me.
Loooove this video!
Aw thanks!
I thought you did a good job on the fit. It is very pretty on you.
Thank you Cynthia!
