Fab! Love your sew-alongs, thanks. The binding on the back neck is really clever. Would have been handy to see the v-neck construction - maybe you could add that to your ever growing video list! 😂❤
Really timely for me Andrea. Just made three Christmas sweaters and hate the pattern I have used. It said oversized but OMG. So I was looking for something straightforward that I can actually put my required pattern adjustments on. This fits the bill perfectly. Am ordering the pdf x
I always wondered about the back neck binding as I was not sure about having a line of stitching that didn’t carry on after the shoulder seams round the front t but, watching you, it seems it is ok! Loved the vlog! Your sewalongs are great! I am now off to buy the Charlie Sweatshirt pattern. I just wish I could buy such beautiful fabric in South Africa
Thank you Andrea. Another great sew-along. I love your neck band binding technique and will be trying it out ASAP with the sweatshirt I plan to make with my gorgeous Funfetti fabric x
Thanks for great tutorial Andrea .!!. love the extra width on kneckband helps with serging.. would love to see tutorial on the V kneckband... I struggle with that.. Aileen x
What a treat to watch a tutorial from you Andrea. I have never seen that cuff band technique before but will definitely be trying it… love the fabric and the finished garment 😍 xx
Thanks so much for the free video on the Charlie - so helpful. Thanks for the extra tips as well! Love your videos - they are so easy to follow and inspires me to get on with it! I’m am going to make one in the Funfetti now. XxLyn
I’ve made a couple now - such a good pattern. I’ll have to buy some more fabric to do a sew along with you. Coming up to summer here, but they’re always useful.
This is a great sew-along. I love that the neckline is cut wider for ease of sewing and then serging. I’ve wanted to learn how to cover the back neck seam and I love the idea of using the selvage.
I have just seen your UA-cam channel. Love it. Had to buy thread and fabric, and next week I will buy the patterns I put on my wishlist. I like the tutorial and have subscribed so I can learn more.😊
Great tutorial Andrea…you are so calm…and clear x
Thank you for showing the cutting out process. Many sew alongs don't show this part and it's useful for those of us that are still learning 😊
Glad it was helpful!
Beautiful neckband technique! Love the cuffs too! Great tutorial!
Fab! Love your sew-alongs, thanks. The binding on the back neck is really clever. Would have been handy to see the v-neck construction - maybe you could add that to your ever growing video list! 😂❤
I’ll add the v neck to my list 😊
Does anyone know of a tutorial for the V neck please? Am really struggling with the instructions! Thanks
I love your tutorials! Beautiful top.

Great video Andrea, I didn't realise you could do that when the hemband piece is longer than the ribbing so thank you for that tip.
You are so welcome!

Hi can you tell me what make and model overlock and cover stitch machine you use. Thanks
Hi Andrea, when you top stitch the front of the neckband, are you doing it on the ribbing or the patterned fabric please.
Through both Mary
Thank you for this. What stitch do you use for topstitching neckband? A lightning stitch or slight zig zag?
A straight stitch . I’m using marsflex thread from Gutermann so a straight stitch is all you need
Do you not use your coverstitch machine?
@@Barefootsewer I do yes
@@BeyondthepinkdoorI watched your video for your cover Stitch machine and jumped in feet first and got myself one. It's a learning curve 😮
Could you tell us what stitch lenght yiu are using?
It’s 3.5 on my machine . I’m udingbmsrgoex thread from gutermann which needs 4 stitches to a cm . My 3.5 stitch is the one that works best for me
