Thank you, thank you, thank you for being brave enough to reveal the size you made. It is so helpful for those of us with a large bust. I gave up sewing a few years ago because of wasting not just money but time and energy, which I have a short supply of. Since I found videos for FBA, I took heart and made a few attempts, but now am eager to try patterns with cup sizes and understand the principles around the cup sizes for patterns. Youd makes look great, and all the little short cuts you make are just the same that all sewers make. Loving your channel and cheery smile. Big thumbs up
Thank you so much Marie, sewing is so much more for me than the end product it is my release and drive, my life is pretty tough at the moment and sewing gives me such joy, so enjoy the whole creativity in it xx thanks for watching x
Great video Cara and you have done a brilliant job promoting Athina’s patterns. I’m going over to take a look. I thought the birds were tweeting in my kitchen. It was lovely 🤗👍🏻
My first video, and I loved it! I came over from Karina from Lifting Pins and Needles. 😁 I'll be watching more of your videos! The chirping birds were delightful - they sounded so close I thought they had come into the room!😂
Love your new top, that colour suits you. I’ve seen Whitney from Tomcat stitchery with her patterned Version. So glad Athena is back. Love her patterns. Can’t wait to see her website. Love your videos, loads of information ❤️
A really comprehensive review Cara! I really appreciate your honesty in the review. The colours you’ve chosen really suit your colouring and the style is lovely😍👍
That's really nice, very feminine and I'm tempted but I'd need to see a tutorial to know whether I could tackle that scalloped edge. Do you know if there is one by any chance?
Hi Sandra, there are clear pictures and a template that you draw the scallops on with, then if you follow that line and take your time the scallops will form. Its very satisfying, it's not difficult I promise.
Lovely design by Athina, but also a great choice of colours from you for you. Both tops look gorgeous on you. I would gladly “ steal” them away from you. 😉
The colors you chose for these tops are beautiful. I know you said that the pink one might be a little bit too large for you, but you didn’t fuss with it as much as you did the bright blue one. So maybe the bright teal might be a little bit snug, causing you to be a little self-conscious? Have you seen Whitney‘s video on petite adjustment, maybe taking a tiny bit above the circle of the armpit maybe half an inch it might fit better? I’m not sure. It just seems that you’re tugging on the blue one a little more than the pink one. But I as I said, they are both beautiful

Love the tops, they really suit you. The blue one in particular as I think the fit is better.

Love both versions on you Cara, I’ve got the pattern and am planning a floral version ... you’ve really inspired me to get it made now 😘
Thank you Jayne that's really kind, it's a great pattern x
I really like the Whitney pattern, I think I would wear it as a cardigan. Did you enjoy being a pattern tester?
Loved being a pattern tester, great to try out something new x
What lovely tops , off to purchase 🤣

Really enjoying watching your vlogs. Love your scissor necklace, is it an Alex Monroe piece?
Yes, totally copied Lisa Comforts, many many years ago, probably about 7 years I reckon, I love it

Thank you, I'd just finished it, so hadn't really seen it on!
Cora, just a quick note...it's difficult to hear you. Any chance you could get a microphone?
Thanks Cora, not at the moment, funds don't allow, but I aim to when I can.
