The website looks great and you did pronounce Ipswich correctly. Sigh, I am not a fan of the ruffles trend and had been hoping it would take a hiaius, but I guess everyone loves it but me.
But there are so many other looks to try too!
I think these are my favorite videos you make. Thanks Whitney!
I'm glad you enjoy them!
I’m on your website a few times a week to access your alteration tutorials and I’m so happy with the changes! It’s easier to navigate and I love the look of it as well! Great job! Also, I was on the Boden website on Mothers Day and fell in LOVE with the strawberry print shirt dress and the linen check wrap dress, so I ordered fabric and can’t wait to recreate those looks! I really like your sew the look videos because sometimes I need a little inspiration and they help me stay current!
I'm glad you enjoyed the video and the website update!
The orange play set would be great in terrycloth
Oh yes! It would!
Last example...use a thrifted sheet or an old one from your own linen closet.
Yes! I'll have to hunt for a good sheet!
Yeah! I just love these RTW looks to recreate videos. You've done a great job with the patterns and fabrics. Time to get sewing! p.s. New website looks great.
Thank you so much!
Thank you Whitney. I really appreciate when you take the time to research RTW and find corresponding patterns. So helpful!
You are so welcome!
Love these! I’m thinking maybe the Love Notions Caye pattern for the shorts to go with the rhapsody too. Oh man! So many ideas!!!! ❤
Yes!!
I think a fancy band of different laces and ribbon would be so cute along the bottom of the last dress 😊.
That sounds lovely and a good excuse to shop for some ribbon!
Your hair looks great! I like the new softness and length
Thank you!!
You might want to check out the Courtney Blouse by Australian designer Marsha Style which I think is an exact match for your first blouse. 😍
I will definitely check that out!
Oh, my! I love your inspiration pics, especially that Farm Rio dress!
For the asymmetric front pants, take a look at the Fibre Mood Onah Trousers. They're almost a perfect match, including the pleated front. I've found that The Foldline is an amazing resource. I went to the Women's Trousers section and entered "asymmetric" and it came up.
I will check it out!
While I enjoy many of your videos, I do think that these are my fave. So fun. Your website looks great. UA-cam is so hard to find things on! I know someone starting their sewing journey so I'm going to point them straight there.
Thank you! It's easy to share videos and I appreciate your endorsement!
The Boden swimsuit is also almost identical to the new Patterns for Pirates Palm Springs Swimsuit. It's also available for babies/kids (down to 3 months!!!) so I'm planning to make matching suits for me and my toddler this year!
We're also in Indiana and I probably don't need another swimsuit buuuuuuuut I also need one haha
I'll take a look at that one!
Love the last dress and thinking chenille bias strips would be adorable, too. After you wash them, the strips fray out beautifully!
That would be so cute!
Website looks great! Nice job Jenni-so easy to find my classes and resources. Really fun video for recreating RTW looks!
Thank you!!
Your website looks fantastic!! Well planned and easy to follow. I also love the 10 looks you have put together. Love Love 😊
Thank you so much!
These are my absolute favorite videos. You do such a good job. It gets me so inspired, and I almost always recreate a few of them. Thank you soooo much!
I'm so glad! Tag me if you post them so I can see your version!
Thanks so much for sharing Whitney!❤️❤️❤️
You are so welcome!
The overall website appearance is wonderful. It is clean, with modern appearance allowing the colorful pics to pop.
Thank you so much!

Great to hear!
I've been meaning to mention I love your hair color Whitney🙂
Thank you!
The new website is amazing! Well done.
Thank you!
Whitney, what about some of the jumbo rick rack, you could even use different sizes of the rick rack.
Oh that could be cute!
I love the inspiration! Thank you! The website is beautiful. Kudos to Jenni!
Thank you so much!
The ric rac! I have got to make something with that jumbo ric rac trim. I love it so much.
It's pretty spectacular!
Great job on this video, Whitney. And your website is fantastic. It’s so colorful!! And easy to navigate. You guys are a great team!!
Thanks so much!!
Thank you, Whitney! Lovely inspiration as always! ❤

Love these videos! The new website looks great! I went and had a look around, it’s beautiful and easy to use, and my classes are all safely there! Good job Jenni!❤
Awesome! Thank you!
Here's my secret for Ellie Whittaker fabric: my husby buys it for me at Spotlight when he goes to Australia. 😂
I know, I know, not very helpful. I'll try to remember to message you the next time he goes to see if we can coordinate something.
Yes please do! But if he has space after you put your order in. :)
The inspiration piece you have matching the Patina blouse has a sleeve similar to a dress I saw in Anthropology. It isn’t achieved with just elastic. They have an inner sleeve made out of T-shirt cotton that is short sleeve, then they attach the hem of the woven sleeve to it. Unusual construction but very cool effect. Might be challenging to iron.
Interesting! I wondering it the steamer would be easier than ironing??
On dress 10....you can buy fabric in many striped designs an cut it on the cross grain.
Great suggestion!
All lovely options!!!
Thank you!
Great video and love your new website . puechased the pattern thankyou for all your hard work
Thanks so much 😊
Yahoo! One of my favorites of your videos. UA-cam even tried to talk me into one from 4 years ago this morning. What is your favorite fall fabric? I am sewing a new travel wardrobe for retirement--Germany, grandkids!
I love a good cotton twill for bottoms and I love using merino or wool jersey knits as well for layering pieces! Ponte is another good Fall fabric!
Love the new website! I also enjoy the inspiration from these recreate the look videos.
Glad you like them!
Love all the summer outfits. The site looks fantastic. Jen did a great job. I’m struggling with a part on a dress pattern. Instructions not real easy to grasp. Even had a friend come over who has done quite a bit of sewing and she couldn’t understand it. So I’ll put it aside and move on to something else and maybe I’ll get a spark in my brain.
Something that is the best thing to do and the answer will find itself when you are working on something else!
I love these videos!
I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
I love it!! thanks for putting these together. Have you every done a swimsuit tutorial or sew along? I'd love your tips and tricks for sewing the elastic and for fitting!
I have! It's an oldie, but the tips remain the same. Check it out! ua-cam.com/video/IaS2Q9y1al4/v-deo.htmlfeature=shared
My favorite videos!
I'm glad you enjoyed it!
website looks great! Jenny did a wonderful job. :)
Thank you!
These are my favorite video's, thank you for all the research.
Glad you like them!
great inspiration today!
I'm so glad you enjoyed this one!
I love when you do these videos. Please. Can you tell me why shorts start riding up in the thigh sometimes? Would a looser pair of Tinelys be better or worse for the bunching?
It really depends on your thighs and their shape. Sometimes, the shorts ride up because there is too much excess fabric between the legs and it just gets worked up as you walk. This is usually more typical with tight fitting biker/athletic type shorts. Sometimes it can be the hemline. With my thighs, I need the hemline to fall right below the fullest part of my thigh because my thighs are really full at the inner thigh at the top, but then quite a smaller a couple of inches down. I need my hemline to hit at the smallest part so it doesn't keep riding up trying to find the smallest part. Other times it can be that you just need a bit more ease at the leg because the leg is a bit too tight and trying to work its way to a smaller part of the leg. That being said, it's hard for me to say whether or not the Tinley's might be better or worse for that issue as it really depends on your particular leg.
Could you demonstrate how to do the flare out cut when making shorts from a pant pattern? Do you have to be mindful of adding a certain amount to the outside and a different amount to the inside of the leg in order to stay on grain?
I can show how to do that! That's a great tutorial idea! To asnwer your question, yes, you need to add the same amount to the side seam and inseam in order to keep the grainline balanced.
With your bathing suit, as much as a one piece is great, the flexability of having it as a two piece for bathroom purposes is worth it. You could just lengthen the top and finish off the waist as a yoga waist and it will look like a one piece, no one will know!
Am I a weirdo in just moving the gusset aside?
That could work!
Doesn't the stunning, two-tiered skirt have some sort of trim at the bottom? Can't totally tell from the picture but seems like maybe it does.
I will. Good idea. I know I'm going to do the I2S Majorelle along with the 2 Seamwork patterns. I'm going to do the Crop top/and skirt, but hopefulyy with a pattern I already have. Also the Cashmerette Briarwood and the Love Notions Rapsody and Tinley Skirt. And, then the FPC, Patina Blouse. Yay!

Are you referring to the yellow skirt and top? I think it's just a border print and they used different parts of the boarder for the tiers.
Woo Hoo!
