Whitney, you're so correct when you talk about fabric. If you aren't familiar with garment fabrics it can ruin someone's hard work and time if the wrong fabric is used.
I completely agree about Itch to Stitch patterns. They are incredibly well-drafted. I started calling them “Traveling Pants” patterns, because they seem to fit every member of my sewing group, with all of our different body types. As soon as I discovered that nearly all of her patterns had bust cup options, I started buying them, and I have never been disappointed.
I was just talking to myself( Don't tell anybody I was talking to myself😅😅😅), I want an easy camp shirt to make with no gathering on the back yoke, and here you are showing this beautiful Nozara shirt. I saw the picture with you, Tiffany, and two other UA-camrs on Tiffany's channel. You guys looked beautiful and I heard you did an Excellent Job at the conference.😊
Great Shirt, Whitney. It wouldn't be too hard to match the check across the pleats if you adjust the depth of the pleat to match a multiple of the width of the check.
I love your version of the Nosara shirt by Itch to Stitch! Mine is in my recent batch cut of 5 garments in a rayon challis which is my fabric of choice this summer. Looking forward to getting it sewn up this afternoon! Thanks Whitney for sharing your review and showing us how you solved a common issue of not quite enough fabric!
Back on the video where you asked for suggestions on subects for future videos, I had asked for you to give help on the best fabric choices for different projects since I have never had luck wearing anything but natural fabrics due to super dry skin. Thank you!! You have been really helpful talking about all of the different choices and with your explanations I am starting to give some of the newer man-made fabrics a try. Some of them are working for me too! Thank you again! Angie
@@carolynpainter5127 Hi Carolyn: I sent it out to a print shop. I use either pdf plotting or Stitch and Sew in Alexandria, VA. Makes the pattern more expensive but I don't have the patience to cut and paste.
Thanks for the quick response. But our internet here in southwest Virginia takes forever to download a pattern and sometimes don’t get it all so I have given up on the PDF patterns. Printing is not the problem but the download. We keep hoping it gets better but it hasn’t so far. Thanks for your help.
I do really like the pattern. I’m planning to make one for my daughter, hoping she can get over the fact it’s a button up. Yours looks like it might have needed a sway back adjustment, but I like the gingham. 😊
Thank you for sharing the Nosara Shirt. I have never tried Itch to Stitch patterns, but think I might have to now that I have seen this pattern made up.
Great shirt! I bought the pattern on Friday and it is next up on my cutting table. I need a round back adjustment-would that be done on the yoke? Thanks so much.
Hi Tom Kat Stitchery......great shirt I'll like to buy this pattern....I've noticed that it goes up to hip 48 ...is that rhe finished garment measurement?
Other than the bust darts, this is pretty much the same as the LN Melody Dolman. When you try both of these shirts on, does the bust darting on the Nosara help to eliminate some of the excess fabric in the armpit caused by the grown-on sleeves?
You are correct that they are pretty similar. To answer your question, yes, I think the bust dart does help with excess fabric at the armpit. It doesn't totally eliminate it (that's the nature of a grown on sleeve), but it definitely reduces it.
Hi Whitney, I'm interested in doing a camp collar on a button up shirt. I'm thinking of putting it on a Cashmerete Vernon shirt. Do you know of a pattern that has a good camo collar?
I just made the Style Arc Max Tunic and it has a nice camp collar. You will want to make sure the collar fits the neckline you are putting it into. The Max is nice because it's a camp collar going into a shirt front with a placket, where a lot of camp collar patterns use facings on the front.
Hi Whitney great video. I hope you can help me. I am sewing up a vest that doesn't have a fba, I am a C cup, the pattern is a big 4.. I sewed up the test garments and the sleeve has a gap right at the bust? Should I have done a fba or is something else the problem? I looked on your channel and didn't see anything about the gaping armhole in sleeveless tops. My only thought is I need that extra 1 inch in the bust. Thanks.
I was looking at the measurements today and there looks to be a large amount of ease. Did you adjust your sizing? According to the pattern I would wear a 12D but that would give me 9 inches of ease! Do you think I’m looking at it wrong?
such a cute top...just downloaded the pattern...FYI: your coupon code did not work??? But still got it:)...what size bias tape did you make for the hem????
Oh good! I don't have a coupon code for Itch to Stitch (just an affiliate link), however, it is on sale at the moment so you should have gotten that deal! My bias tape is 1/2" single fold!

Dolman sleeves, double D, and a bust dart, I'm in heaven!!!😊

They are pretty great!
That looks so good with the white skirt! Perfect summer outfit! I love the hem line.
Thank you!
I think that would look so cute under a sweater or sweatshirt for cooler weather. Just the collar peaking out, no extra bulk at the sleeves.
❤️❤️❤️ Yes!
ooo... One of my faves on you. Very lovely. Love the bias hem. I will try to remember that little tailoring trick.
Thank you so much!

Love the shirt-I love all of "Itch to Stitch" patterns, as you said: her instructions and drafting are impeccable!
Thank you!
Totally agree. I think I can count on one hand the Itch-to-stitch patterns I do not have. Love, love, love this pattern.
@@sharonrimsza7960 same!
Great Shirt, Whitney.
It wouldn't be too hard to match the check across the pleats if you adjust the depth of the pleat to match a multiple of the width of the check.
You're correct, but you'd have to make sure that your yoke still matches the length of the skirt back that includes the pleats.
I love this shirt including the fabric.
Thank you!
So cute! Would also be fun in a lightweight chambray
Absolutely!
That looks wonderful on you! I had passed this pattern by, but love the way you made it and also the way you styled it!
Thank you so much!
Lovely shirt. Beautifully made. Well done
Thank you so much!
Love the shirt. Looks fabulous on you.
Thank you so much!
Very crisp looking shirt you made!

@@TomKatStitchery me too! Lol
You look lovely in the shirt!
Thank you!
I really like this shirt , it looks nice on you .
Thank you so much!
I love your version! Thanks for the review! I’ll have to watch your collar stand tutorial. 😊
Thank you so much!
That shirt is so cute on you!
Thank you!
Finally got mine printed yesterday. I love this design and your version!
Woo Hoo!
My printed pattern is due tomorrow and I can't wait to sew it up. Love the idea of the bias taped hem.
How did you order the printed pattern? Not listed on the order page

Try them on Fridays.
@kathygann7632 thank you.
I'm glad you enjoyed this one! Itch to Stitch patterns are some of my favorites!
Love Gidgets twirl 🥰
😂 She loves to be a part of the outside filming.
Great shirt! I bought the pattern on Friday and it is next up on my cutting table. I need a round back adjustment-would that be done on the yoke? Thanks so much.
It is a great shirt! Yes, the high round would be done on just the yoke.
Your shirt looks great! Question - does the lining yoke go all the way across to the sleeve hems?
Thank you.
Yes. The inside yoke goes all the way to the sleeve hem.
Hi Tom Kat Stitchery......great shirt I'll like to buy this pattern....I've noticed that it goes up to hip 48 ...is that rhe finished garment measurement?
It's based off the body measurements.

What is the shirt you are wearing? Maybe I missed that part on video ? Your outfit with checked shirt is so cute.

You're looking at it right. I have 8 1/4" of ease at the bust of this one.
@@TomKatStitchery Thank you Whitney. It seems like a lot but it looks good on you.

I do not like doing the burrito method
Really? That's interesting. Any particular reason why?
