- In my sewing room today I show my recent Lutterloh (Golden Rule) Make which is the first men's pattern I have tried. It was very successful!
I am also answering various questions I always get asked when I do a Lutterloh video.
For further info on the subject of changing up the sleeves please check out :
• Lutterloh System Patte...
from about 11:00 minutes in.
For more details on drawing the pattern please check out my earlier video:

Hi Carole, happy to see you are feeling better. It's great when things we make turn out well. How nice that Chris is so happy with his new shirt. I was able to finish two summer shirts this past week, yay! And today I helped a friend's daughter shorten a fancy dress. We took it from maxi to mid-thigh length. The material was a pain to work with but it is all finished and she is happy with it. Enjoy your week, and thanks for sharing.
Thank you Carol. Wow, shortening a dress by that much must be a challenge? Well done for attempting that and I'm guessing you had a lot of fabric left over 🤣. Glad you have been able to get back to sewing again.
Some more fabric came today for Chris and some T shirts, any excuse to fabric shop eh?! 🧵😊
Hi Carole. I’m glad my hubby was not present while I was watching this cos I know he would be requesting a t-shirt from the system. I’ll do some for myself first though. I’m currently away at our holiday home in Scotland and brought the system with me. Like you I have the facility to sew while I’m here, it’s a good job because I’ve injured my knee so exercise is pretty restricted (I was planning on doing jogging and cycling 🙁) and instead I’m doing rehab exercises (how tiresome). Anyway it’ll give me time to practice my Lutterloh although at the minute I can’t stand up for too long (additionally tiresome). In the meantime I hope you are recovering well from your arm operation and not overdoing things. Many thanks for doing a Lutterloh. Bye for now. ☺️
Oh Ann, I am so sorry to hear you have injured your knee! I know just how awful that is as I have had two knee ops after running and skiing injuries. It just stops you doing everything doesn't it, what awful timing for you. You are doing the right thing by resting though and remember to keep it elevated!
I am trying not to overdo things but it is really hard. Hope your knee improves soon 🧵😊x
I loved your video and am now going to make some t shirts for my husband. You make lutterloh system look easy.
Thank you so much Pamela. I think I make the System look easy as I choose the easy patterns to make! There are some people out there making some really complicated garments using it. I will stick to the simple for now! 🧵😊
Your perky today nice to see great tshirt looks fab thank you for demonstrating the system 😊😊😊
Thanks so much Robyn, my daughter had just washed and dried my hair so that always makes you feel better doesn't it!! Have a good week 🧵😊
Hello! Your husband’s T Shirt is a win.
Thank you very much, now to make some more! 🧵😊
That T-Shirt is amazing Carole! That system would still baffle me to the nut house-Lol. You are a brilliant seamstress and I don't think you give yourself enough credit for how much you know and are able to figure out. Hope you arm is healing fast and correct. See you next time!❤
Thanks Theresa, you are right I think you do have to be a little crazy to do the system when you could just buy a pattern!
My arm is doing much better than I anticipated, I just now need to make sure I don't do too much too fast. Thanks for watching 🧵😊
The shirt is fantastic!! I enjoy using the system!! I've been collecting a bunch of books to help with the instructions part! Plus it's always good to have sewing books in your collection as well!!
Thanks Kris, it is nothing compared to your fabulous dress this week! I think there would be a massive market for a comprehensive Lutterloh instruction manual wouldn't there, especially because we aren't brought up sewing like we used to be... just a thought. Thanks for watching 🧵😊
No plans to buy this but always enjoy your videos. Hope the recovery is going well. 😊💖x
Thanks so much Debbie for watching and I know a lot of people aren't interested in it. Recovery is going well thanks but I keep overdoing it 😂 xx
You’re looking a lot better today and love the hair restyle. I watch all your vlogs but don’t usually comment. A lot of the patterns you use I also have so a great help, thanks. 🎉
Thank you so much, I need to tell my daughter about the kind hair comment as she came over to do it for me 🥰. Thanks so much for supporting my channel and watching. 🧵😊
Had no idea that you could enlarge the pattern and still plot it out it! Have been sewing with Lutterloh for many years, never for DH however. My favorite v neck tee is from this system.
Thanks for watching and your comment. I still don't fully understand how you can enlarge it but it works 🤣. I wish I had a women's t shirt pattern in my collection but I don't sadly. 🧵😊
Carol, thank you so much for sharing this system with us. It's quite interesting. Would you say that it could replace buying patterns? The tee you made for your hubby looks great. Very professional. I can see why he ordered several more. How is your arm? You didn't mention it. I'm guessing that most of your viewers want updates....

@@houseinnorthcarolina9439 Hi Suzanne, thanks so much for your comment and asking about my arm. I tried not to mention or show my arm in this video as it wasn't my weekly FSews so in my mind I shouldn't make it too personal. It's doing really well actually and recovering nicely 👏🏼. I hope the next T shirts I make for him work out just as well!
Thanks again 🧵😊
You messed up, Carole! Chris' shirt came out so well you now need to make him 4 or 5 more! 🤣 Seriously, it appears to fit him perfectly. At least you now have the pattern so you don't need to map out again. Glad your elbow is healing well. xx Dori❤
Ha ha so funny, I should have bodged it shouldn't I! However, it did give me the excuse to go fabric shopping and more jersey came today (with a couple of pieces for me of course!). Elbow is doing much better thank you but I'm in the dangerous phase of doing too much now 😂. Thanks for being there as always 💗😘
@@socarole66 😄 Yes, do be careful with your arm. Better to take it easy for an extra week or two than to mess up what you've already gone through. It would have all been for nothing. 💗
Thank you for the explanation about the Lutterloh system - it does look interesting and the t-shirt came out very nicely! There is a learning curve with everything - speaking of curves, I bought a French curve years ago and have hardly used it - wish it had dots like the Lutterloh one to help with confidence about placement. The top you are wearing is so pretty! Enjoy having the house to yourself for a bit - I always am happy to have a few days alone when my husband is on a business trip, as long as I know he is ok :).
I think there is probably a real skill to using a French Curve properly, there are always so many magical numbers on it and angles etc. I only know as I said just to match up the dots 😂. I am enjoying having the time to sew etc and the house to myself but of course I miss someone to talk to! He is enjoying his 'work' trip so far anyway. Thanks for watching 🧵😊
@@socarole66 He's closer to coming home every minute 😃! Thanks for the reply 😊!
So cool, Carole! What a fantastic fit! And, minimal pattern pieces! What a win! 😘💗
Thanks Andra, he wore it on his Business flight yesterday and got upgraded to First Class! Was it the T shirt I wonder?! 😂xx💗
@@socarole66 Oh my goodness!!! I bet it was the Tshirt!!! You crack me up!!!
Hi Carole, I hope you are healing well. I love your new hair. I always enjoy your Lutterloh videos. I'm not sure if I would buy one but I always enjoy seeing how it's done and what you make always comes out great.
Thank you so much for your comment! My daughter had just washed and dried my hair for me so she is so happy that everyone is commenting on it 🥰. She did well didn't she! I appreciate you watching as I know Lutterloh isn't for everyone. 🧵😊
Hi Carole, you are looking much more sprightly today! You must be feeling better and I don't see the bandage. Progress. I keep buying fabric for my husband but hesitate to start various projects. I'll have to see if my Lutterloh has a men's shirt. Thank you for doing another Lutterloh Pattern!
He certainly looks chuffed wearing the t shirt 😊 like anything it’s through taking time to look into things it and when you showed it at first I thought it’s to complicated for me but your demonstration has been very straightforward so thank you
He was really happy Sandra and wore it on his business trip away for travelling so I was very pleased! Now to make him so more. It really isn't complicated and if I can do it, anyone can! Thanks for watching 🧵😊
Thank you! I am feeling much better, the bandage is still there and will be for another couple of weeks but just a plaster now. I do hope you can find a T shirt pattern in your catalogues, I honestly didn't think it would be any good! Thanks for watching 🧵😊
The t-shirt looks really, really good on him and how cool that he likes it too! 😂 I find the whole system so fascinating and I watched a Tomkat Stitchery video last week where Whitney mentioned she’s looking to buy the system and make videos on it. Xx 💞
This does look interesting but I believe you said it comes in different size packages. I will probably say between 2 being a size 16 sewing shoulder width and size 24 full bust. I will see if I can find more information about it using the links you provided. Thank you so much for the information. Hope you feel better soon x
Thanks so much for your comment. I have just checked the exact sizing and the main system covers hip and bust measurements up to 130cm (50 inches). They suggest the XL/XXL system for measurements over that.
Over half the designs in the book seem to be for plus sized figures normally.
Hope that helps and thanks so much for your kind thoughts 🧵x
Thank you so much
Hey girl! Love the video. I am now making that T shirt for my son. I just happen to have some blue cotton Lycra left from some color blocked shorts I made him. I have made him quite a few things from Lutterloh and he loves them all. I was able to get to Joann’s and picked up some very needed items and was so grateful to have spent from your gift card. I so hope you have a speedy recovery Carole. You’re not one to be slowed down…lol.
Hey Barbara, I was so pleased to hear that you have managed to spend your gift card! Good luck making the T shirt for your son. I just wish I had a women's T Shirt pattern in my collection but I don't sadly. Thanks so much for watching and no, I can never be still!! 🧵😊
@@socarole66 I made my son’s T shirt today and it was a hit. He, like your husband, wants several more, because it is more fitted and longer than the expensive ones he buys. He loves it too, so we’re both big hits with our family sewing ventures!!😁Great to hear from you and I’m loving your channel. Want you better so keep it simple and don’t over work that arm!!❤️
@@barbarafrancis5196 oh that's great to hear! I gave my hubby another one I made for his arrival home and he's wearing it today. Keep up the production line he said 🤣
I made my husband a t shirt just like that from a New Look pattern and he loves it. He’s quite picky too!
Oh fantastic! As a matter of interest, can you remember the number of the New Look pattern? Thanks 🧵😊
@@socarole66. My apologies. It was a vintage Simplicity pattern. 8550. 😀
@@dimples7334 that does look a good pattern!
Carole, you are looking fantastic! Love the hair"do" !!! I love that Tshirt, it really fits him well! So if he places an order for more shirts that means you have no choice but to order more fabric, right?!!! 😍🥰
Thanks Mary! Katie had to come over and do my hair so she is going to be so chuffed with these comments 🤣. Clearly she does it better than me!
I did indeed have no choice but to order fabric and maybe add a little for me too 😁. You know me so well 👏🏼🤩. Thanks for watching xxx
Very interesting video. I would be inclined to remove the additional 3/4” on the next one to judge it against the first as it does look a tad high. This would increase your confidence in the patterns fit too. It would be interesting to make your own design up using the different patterns you have and seeing if it works out. X
Hi Claire, can you just explain what you mean about removing the 3/4" I can't understand what you think is too high?
I moved up the neckband to where my husband wanted it and similar to his normal T shirts. Is that what you are referring to? The original neckband went way below a chain he wears which he doesn't want on show. Thanks x
Hi, yes it wasn’t a criticism as much as interest on how much difference it would make in the look. I’m one of those people who get annoyed by labels and anything touching my neck so there might have been a bit of subconscious bias on the neck height. If that’s where it’s comfortable for him then of course it should stay where it is 😊.
Of course if you did try it you could get yourself a nice T-shirt to sleep in out of it 😂. That’s also a bit of a thing of mine… nice big T-shirts to snuggle up in!
@@clairerosey9921 no worries at all I was just checking I hadn't missed anything that was obvious. I remembered now I had to re do the neckband as the original was slightly slimmer and he didn't like that so had to widen it. He obviously likes to feel like he's being throttled 🤣. Like you I don't like things too high up. At least that's the one alteration on patterns that is easy to do!
As you say a T shirt is a T shirt so maybe I should just try it for myself using my measurements?!
Thanks so much for your comment 🧵
My daughter-in-law bought the system for herself.
Oh really Christine? You should borrow it and give it a go. 😊🧵
Hi Carole! Great job on the t-shirt!! And it looks like you are moving your right arm around fairly well. How are you doing with the rehab? (or physio as you call it).
Thanks Deb, a pile of new fabric came today to make some more for Chris but that will have to wait. 👏🏼My elbow doesn't like cutting! I start physio after my wound is checked and the bandage comes off next week until then, it's just a couple of light exercises. It certainly lets me know when I have done something I shouldn't but it's hard as Chris is away! Hope alls well with you. 😘☀️
I bet your arm does hurt at times but it looks like you're doing pretty good. Take it easy!
I've been looking for it in thrift shops. I haven't found it yet but know a lot of people have. I would love to buy this system, but being 70 years old I don't want to put out that much money in case I wouldn't like to do it.
Thanks for your comment Diane. I completely understand about the cost outlay if you bought it 'off the shelf'. That is why my Mum had spent her life feeling guilty about not using it and why I use it now. Let's hope one day you will come across a bargain one somewhere. 🧵😊
My husband has a larger stomach area, how do you measure for that
My husband has too! So I used the chest measurements and the hip as instructed by the system and it worked well as you can see. Normally if I buy my husband a large t shirt it just clings to his stomach and the XL is always just too oversized. This one he was pleased with as it's bigger yet doesn't look as oversized as the shop bought ones. Hope that helps 🧵😊
