While watching this video I notice your hair styles. As a retired hair stylist I am telling you that the hair style you look fab in is that red with bangs is your best look. What you are wearing does not carry off you lovely features.
Thank you! I get bored with my hair and change it up quite frequently. I'm sure the bangs will be back again!
I’m so excited for your success and to see your channel community grow! Your videos have been hands down the most helpful over the last couple of years, not just with techniques but style, fabric, pattern selection, everything. Can’t wait to see what else is in store!
I'm so glad to read that!
Whitney, I’m rather late to the game here, but sometimes life happens and you get behind in what is most important: Sewing! Which includes watching TomKat Stitchery on UA-cam! You can’t imagine where my imagination took me when you gave us a little hint with a huge smile that an announcement was forthcoming! Well, this is better than anything I could come up with! It is certainly taking your Brand to the next level. I’ve learned that you are not going to have a cohesive wardrobe, bespoke or purchased from a retailer, unless you follow a few rules. These rules actually make life so, so easy for the sewist as well as the shopper. What you have done here is to put everything one needs into a concise workbook for us and for that I am truly appreciative! The newsletter is going to a wonderful feature of TomKat Stitchery to be sure! This episode was an awesome precursor to what I am sure is going to be a very successful venture! Hugs!
Aww! Thank you so much!
You can bet your bottom dollar I’m going to Italy! Love it! You go girl. Of course you’ll need to put together a travel wardrobe.
I will totally have to do a travel wardrobe 😂.
You are definitely the most helpful sewing UA-cam I’ve found! Even if I don’t want to sew the pattern you are sewing I always pick up useful tips and pieces of knowledge from you. Thanks for all you do! Love that fabric you’re wearing btw!
I love to read that!
Nikki in Jerusalem saying thanks for all you’re doing to motivate me to stop stopping before I start. Your positive attitude is catchy congrats on the newsletter
I love to hear that!
You are in my top 3 sewing video list. You give great tips for full busted women & I also look best in warm tones colors. I had my colors done years ago. It's very helpful. No more trying to look good in black or dark navy. I consider you a "sewing buddy". You inspire many.
I just love to read this! Thank you so much!
Not only was this a wonderful video, I am so excited about your newsletter. Thank you for all the hard work you put into your channel. It is such a source of inspiration for me. And it’s a haven of comfort. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve rewatched videos just because I enjoy them so.
This makes me so happy! Thank you so much for this comment!
I am so excited for your channel success and this newsletter and the worksheet and everything to come!!! I am so happy for you! I can’t wait to continue on this journey and see where it takes you and all of us in your community. You are such an asset to the sewing community! 💕💕
What a kind thing to say! Thank you so much!
I subscribed while the video was still playing in the background! YES! This is so thrilling!
Oh good!
Thank you Whitney for your wardrobe basics document. While I’m a senior (a fall based on 80s Color Me Beautiful) and expect to be living in a RV for the next year, meaning I’ll have to pare down my wardrobe, I have learned so much from you about cohesive capsules and that will be an absolute necessity with limited storage space. But please don’t forget those of us who are not full busted. It sounds more like I’m closer to your sister, average height but still short waisted, smaller bust, and curves in my lower half.
I also have to highly recommend that you join the projector sewing world because most of the alterations you make are so simple if the pattern comes with a full bust option. Shortening patterns can be done by moving your cutting board the appropriate amount. I use the projector exclusively when sewing for my grandkids now (about 75% of my sewing) and use Dorothy’s Daughter’s hybrid method when sewing for myself. I need to lower one shoulder, lower the bust, shorten the overall bodice. I’ve just never mastered Inkscape or Designer Affinity to be able to make all those changes so generally I trace the projected image of the bodice onto medical paper and then proceed to cut and paste all the alterations, then just use the skirt as projected. I save so much time and resources and my storage needs have greatly diminished. Check out the Projectors for Sewing Facebook group
I really need to look into the projector sewing more. I'll be honest that it intimidates me a bit!
Just when I thought your channel couldn't get any better! You go and put some frosting on the cake!!! I just LOVE it! Thank you soooooo much!
😂 I love that!
All worked well with sign up for newsletter and free PDF. Thanks!!!
Oh good!
Enjoyed this video. I am older and sometimes wonder if sewing capsules make sense for me. I, too am a large bust woman who is thankful when I found love notions patterns. If I hadn’t watched your channel, I would not have those patterns. I would love to receive your newsletter.
Oh good!
I'm new to color analysis, however, seeing you in this outfit is very convincing. You look absolutely radiant!
Thank you! This fabric contains quite a few from my palette!
I really enjoy your content, Whitney. It’s obvious that you put many long hours into your channel for us each week and I appreciate it!
I'm so glad you're enjoying it!
Good wishes on your exciting new venture. May it be full of all the perfect colors.
😂 yes! I love that!
Congratulations couldn’t happen to a better person! ❤️
Aww! That's so kind to say!
I saw a Cashmerette user post pix yesterday of her daughter’s wedding. She used three versions of the upland for her daughter’s gown. Satin under gown, a organza? Overlay, and then a reception dress.
Oh my gosh! I bet that was beautiful!
So interested in seeing the directions you will go with your vlog. It’s so nice to see how excited you are about changes.
I'm so glad! I hope its all things that make sense to the channel going forward 😂.
What a coincidence! I purchased the Upton w/expansion pack the last time Cashmerette had a buy 2/get 1 pattern sale. I will be attending a wedding in early 2023 and thought this would be the perfect pattern to create a special dress for the occassion. Have fun deciding which two versions you'll be making for your upcoming weddings!
I'm so excited to make that pattern up!
Woohoo! Great news! Can’t wait for all of the new adventures!
Oh good!
Thanks Whitney. I need that list so badly. My wardrobe is a real hotch potch of oddments that don’t match or have nothing to go with them. Congratulations on your success with the channel. It’s thoroughly deserved for all of the hard work you put into it. Xxx
I'm so glad you enjoyed this!
I have purchased a few capsules from your everyday day style but there was a lot there that went beyond my comfort zone. I am a kibble soft classic and prefer a classic esthetic. I have recently found the stunning style society and I really love it. I have been following your self exploration and used it to inspire my own. I really enjoy your honesty and content. Keep up the great work and thanks for all you do.
Stupid autocorrect,lol. Should be Kibbe not kibble
I'm so glad you've been enjoying this journey!
Skirt: just picked up Butterick 6866 a 6 gore skirt. I haven't made it yet but I am replacing an old TNT
I prefer 6 gore because it allows for enough seam fitting and allows for better fabric uses
I rediscovered shorter skirts as an alternative to shorts a while back and have been trying to nail down a skirt pattern that will go from bread to cake to frosting.
Edit: I forgot to say thank you. This is coming at just the right time for me. So, thank you.
That's a great idea!
Thank you for the PDF's! First, they are gorgeous! Second, they were a total game changer for me!!!!! THANK YOU!!!
This makes me so happy!!!!
The Sew Over It recent vintage e-book has a very nice long coat. This was such a nice gift, thank you.
Ooh! I'll go take a look at that!
Congrats on 25 thousand viewers. Heading over to sign up for newsletter. Love the PDF. Great idea. With everything you do I don't know how you have time to sew. Loved the spring capsule. Haven't finished all the projects. Saw a snapshot of summer capsule and those pieces are quick sews. Love your channel. You are so motivating.
I saw those teasers as well. I'm excited to get sewing for summer!
Dutchess coat by Ellie and Mac is great dressy coat.
Love your video. Very informative
Ooh! I'll go have a look at that! Thank you!
@@TomKatStitchery I recently made kids version for my daughter- she loves it sooo much she twirls while walking :) Anyway Ellie and Mac has a lot if great patterns especially for busty ladies. I just finished my 6th tress belle - 3 dresses and 3 tops (faux wrap with half circle peplum). And they recently lowered prices so more people can afford their patterns ( especially with prices of everything going up). I have a lot of their patterns and they are my go to unless I am drafting pattern myself
Thank you for all you do!! I always look forward to seeing your posts!
I'm so glad to hear that!
This is so well timed! I've spent the last 2 years working on a me-made wardrobe and have a pile of linen on my cutting table right now. You came across my feed 2 weeks ago, and I really enjoy your channel!
Cashmerette is my jam. It's dead easy to grade their patterns to fit my large-busted, very pear shaped body. Sewing my own clothes is really the only way I'll ever have a pair of pants actually fit properly.
I'm so happy you found my channel! Welcome! Cashmerette is so good!
Fantastic! We are all very happy for you! This is exciting.
I'm so glad you're excited!
Woohoo! So excited for your new adventure! And the opportunity to participate!
I'm so glad to read that!
Congrats Whitney!!!!! You are an inspiration and a wealth of knowledge!
Thank you so much!
Oh cool! I will sign up now. You are seriously in my top 2 of people that I love to watch on youtube. Your manic sewing energy pushes me to get into my sewing room and actually create the garments that I dream up. And I admire and appreciate your consistency in putting up videos so regularly. I'm really looking forward to the bias tape video.
😂 I'm so happy to read this! Manic excitement is a great description!
I've subscribed to your newsletter! As you can see by my channel name, I'm an advocate of the capsule wardrobe philosophy myself and find that it's so much easier to have clothes that can be worn together so there's chance of less clothes sitting unloved and unworn in a drawer or closet, especially after taking the time and effort to make them 🙂
I just wanted to add that having watched an earlier video of yours right after this one (the one where you went on a sewing retreat weekend), your colours and style are just SO much more complimentary now! Your clothes are amazing and suit you so well 🙂
Thank you so much! I am right there with you with the capsule wardrobes. I'm also shocked when I look back at old footage and how much better my colors are now 😂.
Love this video!!!! Thank you
My pleasure!
Congratulations! Congratulations! Congratulations! I signed up before your video was over. I look forward to getting your newsletter. Blessings.
Oh good!!!
I love a tnt convo. It always inspires me to go back and do fun hacks to my tnts ❤️
Same for me! Putting this together was very inspiring to myself 😂.
I just rushed over and signed up for your newsletter.
Oh yay!
Thank you for all from France. Good sewing
It's my pleasure!
Signed up! Thank you for sharing all your great stuff with us.
Oh good!
Congratulations Whitney on the growth of your channel. It is so exciting. I am a faithful viewer and have learned so much from you. I’ve already signed up for your newsletter
Oh good! I'm so glad to read that!
Your nailed the explanation the why to have a cohesive wardrobe you love.
Oh good! I'm glad my words came across clearly!
I just signed up for your newsletter! A great idea this wardrobe checklist for seamstresses! Thank you Whitney for all your hard work ❤️
It's my pleasure!
Just what I need! It's so easy to be overwhelmed by patterns and fabrics, I can see this being helpful with getting started on some basic pieces.
Oh good!
How exciting! I'm looking forward to the newsletter and workbook and all your new videos. You are my inspiration. I am listening to the Everyday Style School. Jennifer is great. Thank for all your videos!
It's my pleasure!
I look forward to what is coming on your channel. I have a completely different body shape to you and still find so much to inspire me in every video. Good work, Whitney.
I'm so glad to read that!
Just want to say I subscribed to your newsletter! I had my colors done 40 years ago (yes I’m old) but it really was eye opening and has really helped me pick wardrobe colors. And I loved the print dress you had on in the video!
Me too! Color Me Beautiful in the early ‘80s, when I earned I was a winter. At that time I was making most of my clothes including lined skirts, pants and blazers in SUMMER colors. They all looked so-so on me. As you said, life changing!
@@kathygann7632 I’m a winter too and yep CMB too! A group of us went and it was fun. I was the only winter in the group.
@@Bready29645 All the Speech Language Therapists in my school district came to my house. It was a blast, and the excitement lasted for weeks as we each learned how to use and dress for our colors.
It is such a game changer!
Thank YOU Whitney. You’re an inspiration and I’ve learned so much from you!
Aww! Thanks, friend!
I’m so happy for you Whitney. Can’t wait to hear about your plans going forward 😘😘
Oh good!
Awesome, I was just thinking I need to organize all these ideas into a functional format. It looks great.
Oh good! I hope it's helpful!
Thank you Whitney for such a useful video. So helpful for those of us who have become slightly overwhelmed by the capsule. I have only just discovered your channel and love what I have watched so far.
It is so easy to get overwhelmed by the capsule, but it really does help with overwhelm once it's in place!
Yay! I'm so excited for you! Congrats on your new adventure :-) I'll be happy to be a part of it, as I truly enjoy your videos. Your smile and laugh always lifts my mood and the fact that you are about fitting your body and finding your own style instead of just following trends make a world of difference! Thank you so much! Anna, Denmark (GulSystue)
Anna, you said it perfectly! Exactly how I feel too!
What a lovely comment! I'm so happy to read all of this!
Deb Dion Congrats on your new adventure, signed up for the newsletter looking forward to it.
Oh good!
Printing out the pdf ASAP so I can start making more basics for my wardrobe. Congratulations on all your subscribers. You are one of me few favorites that I always watch. Looking forward to seeing what things you are working on behind the scenes.
I'm so glad to read this!
Well done, Whitney! Loved seeing the collection of patterns.
I'm so glad!
Thank you so much! I'm new to sewing and have found your videos to be very inspiring. I'm looking forward to receiving your newsletters and whatever surprise you have coming up.
Oh good!
Just signed up for your newsletter. I also went to Hobby Lobby and bought fabric to make two of the Tidal dresses from Tami. They are in the dryer now. I love all your videos no matter what it is because I always get inspirted and learn something to boot. Thank you.
That is so lovely to read! Thank you so much!
This is exciting news! Yay….I just signed up for the newsletter.
I'm so glad!
I'M so excited you're coming to Italy too! Thanks for an entertaining video on basics and wardrobe building :)
My pleasure!
Signed up for the newsletter - thank you. My sewing skills are not nearly to the caliber of yours but am constantly learning from you. Your videos are extremely helpful. Thank you, and best wishes.
I'm so glad the videos are helpful! I'm still learning as well. It's one of my favorite parts of sewing!
Exciting developments! Of course I signed up 😉 💕
Aww! Thank you!
Wonderful! I’m very excited ❤️ This will help so many people. Great inspiration. Thank you so much. You never disappoint. Take care!
Aww! Thank you!
Hi Whitney. Thank you so much for this. You’ve managed to single-handedly focus and invigorate my sewing. I’ve struggled with how to keep track of my TNT patterns and I think this workbook will do the trick. Love your channel; you are great company in the sewing room! All the best.
I love to read that!
So exciting!!! Cant wait for the newsletter !!!
Oh good!
Boy, exciting, I love watching your videos, personal I’ve learned so much from you already. Thank you Whitney 😘.
I'm so glad to read that!
I watched Dorothy’s Daughter’s video about the Love Notion’s pants, then went to check them out, and found the Sabrina Slims were on sale today 6/3/22 for $5. Of course I found a few other patterns I liked to the tune of about $30. I was about to checkout when I remembered that Whitney has coupon codes!!! Love your wardrobe information and love your coupon codes! Thanks for your great videos.
Oh good! I'm so glad that coupon code was helpful!
I think you will do great! I look forward each day that you put out a video. I am a teacher and have 3 more days next week and then, I will do my colors and start my new wardrobe for the fall! Thanks for your inspiration!
Oh good!
This is fabulous and so exciting. I’ve just signed up for the newsletter. Thanks, Witney x
Oh good!
Whitney, this is just brilliant and couldn't have come at a better time for me! Love all the videos, keep them coming 💖
I'm so happy to read this!
I am very excited to have found you!! I am also a seamstress, although I have been out of the garment making loop for a very loooong time! You have inspired me to get my creative sewing side going again. Thank you for all you do! I am looking forward to following your podcast😊 Darcy from Wisconsin
I'm so glad you found me and are getting back into garment construction! Welcome to the channel!
before I watch all your video, I love you in that top, beautiful colours, suits you so well and the fit is amazing ❤
Thank you! I love that dress so much!
Wow, what a great, timely and exciting announcement! I have been floundering trying to come up with a capsule summer wardrobe and I can't wait to use the checklist you developed. I know it is going to be so helpful. I love watching your videos and I am sure your website is going to be as informative and helpful. Just a thought, I save a lot of your videos for reference it would be helpful to find them on your website rather than weeding through all my saved UA-cam videos looking for a specific sewing technique you have taught and explained. Love what you are doing for me personally and our sewing community.
That's a great idea!
Thank you, Whitney! Love your guidance, advice and info!
My pleasure!
Thanks so much for sharing your colors, your TNTs and plans for wardrobe basics. I found it so helpful.
I’ve subscribed to this channel for about a year and enjoy it (but I do speed it up to 1.5x speed, so the videos are more in the length I prefer…) love some of your pics from a couple years ago, especially your hair with bangs and the darker color hair.
Thank you so much!
Congratulations Whitney, I truly enjoy your content and look forward to more from you!
I'm so glad!
All signed up! You have really stepped up the demand for your time. We appreciate it immensely! All the best to you, and us, for Y(our) new adventures!
TomKat has definitely become a full time job now, but there is nothing else I would rather being doing for my occupation! It really is and has been a blessing!
This is welcome and wonderful news. I couldn't wait to sign up and hit the button. My very best wishes for your very welcome venture.🌷
Oh good!!
Whitney ,I love your channel and this show! Thank you! I must say I just LOVE you in the darker hair with the red hue. It's very flattering, Keep up the good work!
Thank you so much!
Congrats 👏 on your new adventure.
Thank you so much!
Got it! Love,love,love this. Thank you!!
Oh good!
Looking forward to your progress in this community
I'm so glad!
Woo Hoo exciting stuff Whitney. Have subscribed mid vlog and come back for the ending. I’ve got a good few of the patterns that you mention/link to. Be interesting to see what you newsletter brings us. Thank you 🤓🏴
Oh good!
Hi Whitney. Thank you for a great channel full of information and inspiration!
I know it takes a lot of time to put together these fantastic videos.
Encouraged to hear you speak of using basics to build a cohesive wardrobe.
Looking forward to continuing to watch and learn from you and your videos.
I'm so glad you're enjoying the channel!
It is so very generous of you to take the time to put together such an extensive list, thank you!! 🥰 Now it looks like I should spend some time to work on putting it into action for my wardrobe as well.
I'm so glad you're enjoying it!
Congratulations on your numbers of Subscribers, you work very hard to put out Great content, and it is really appreciated.👍 All signed up for your News letter, looking forward to that content also.

Thank you so much!
Wow Whitney! Such a brilliant idea……thank you so much ! XX
My pleasure!

Wonderful, I loved that, I have been watching your stuff much more lately, so glad and thankful that you are adding new features.
Oh good!
So much to look forward to! Thank you!
I'm so glad!
I really love your channel. Following since the beginning of Covid. It is all in the details of sewing for me. Congrats on your #’s
Thank you so much for your kind comment and for following the channel!
Go girl! You are “what it’s all about”… transition and transformation. I wish you luck on all your plans! I know I will be inspired in many ways. Onward!
Aww! Thank you!

Oh good!
Perfect timing for me! Lovely video, thank you so much!
Oh good!
Great video - exciting news!!
I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
Oooh this is so fun! Excited for you and the things to come ❤️
I'm so glad!
Thank you for this video.
It has been amazing and inspiring watching you over the past few years to see the changes in you. I've been talking about getting my colors done for a year, I was finally inspired to go for it. I bought the package and I can't wait to get my results!!
How exciting!
@@TomKatStitchery Yes! I'm thrilled. Color Guru just emailed my results and I'm surprised by some but completely delighted with the whole process.
So excited to check out the pdf ! What fun :) Thanks for all you do and share 💕🌈 I always learn something new :)
It's my pleasure!
I've never really used a formula, but I think unconsciously, over the years I have built a basics wardrobe. I know my colours and so everything just seems to go together. It was good to see this vlog to help me fine-tune some of the pieces I can add. Thank-you and congratulations!
Oh good!
