 Hi you guys, Lindsay here. Welcome back to my channel, Inside the Hymn. All right you guys, so simplicity new look has come out with some new new look patterns and that means today we are going to take a look. New look. Probably the worst intro ever. I'm really sorry. Okay jumping right in here we have got a top skirt and pants and it looks like a little like matching set kind of. You've got a little crop top with an asymmetrical button detail which I feel like they've been doing that a lot this year and then you've got these slim fitting pants. There we go. The concept is definitely cute. I would 100% put this top with a like a wider skirt. I don't just don't really do the slim fit of anything but the skirt has the matching button detail so when these are paired on top of each other you have buttons all the way down. Doesn't this remind you a lot of the Mimi G pattern that just came out? I mean very similar. This is also probably a cinch to sew. I wonder what the it looks like. Yeah it looks like the top just wraps over and buttons sort of like like a button front anything would. So that's interesting. What other information do they provide us with here? Let's see. Line drawings. Pretty straightforward. Yeah I mean a side zipper. You've got some darts in the front. This is like a princess seam type of detail and I'm assuming the other princess seam is like worked into this button band somehow. You've got the same seaming in the back and then little back darts. Yeah pretty straightforward stuff here. I think it's cute. It's definitely you know kind of younger but I think we establish with the spring patterns that new look might be for like teenagers, misses. I mean it does say misses but a lot of the McCalls ones say misses too and they aren't that young. Okay here's a just for Knit's pattern which is fun. This is just called Mrs. Sportswear. You've got a dress, a top, a skirt and it's the letter sizing extra small through extra I'm sorry extra small through extra large. It's got like a little like gathered neckline which is cute a little V, some ties. This is all in one so it's not a separate set in sleeve so that's super simple. Same thing with the top. The top is just the dress chopped. The skirt is elasticized. Yeah no big deal there. There's the back. I'm sorry it's cut off. I can't move it to the left anymore. So yeah there's that gathering of the neckline. There's literally not a single seam in the dress or the top. Oh but there are side seam pockets. Same with the skirt side seam pockets. Here are the line drawings a little bit bigger. There's also gathering on the sleeve on the top. Yep again very simple. Now this must be the top tucked into the skirt. Interesting okay and it's a fairly slim skirt guys. I mean it looks more a line here but on her I mean that's kind of mermaidy trumpety. So yeah cute little top though. I like how they match the fabric too so looks like a dress. That's fun. Okay here are those same line drawings. We just saw those on the look back. So here are our fabrics interlock, jacquard, jersey, single knit. You just need to make sure it has enough stretch. That's all. Five sizes in one. Okay here are the finished garment measurements for the bust. Super helpful and the hip. Awesome and you really don't need a ton of fabric. Cool that's all right. If I could get the fit right I think this dress would be super comfortable. All right let's see. So now we've got a top and what do you know pull-on pants. The design of the year for all of our pattern companies. Everyone's doing elasticized waist. I don't know what that's about. So this top is like kind of cool. Yeah it's got like a bat wing style on one side and then a set in sleeve on the other side and then this kind of I don't know if it's a faux tie detail. A little asymmetrical hem. Then you've got the pull-on pants and then there's this version of the top without any of the sleeve detail which is interesting and then these are just the pattern version of this. Yeah they give you your bust and hip again. So there are those measurements. Suggested fabric charmous. It's going to be so different for the top and the bottom but like for the top it's probably charmous, lawn, crate, double door jet and silky types and then they separated out the pants. Also in crate and lightweight linen. Yeah I agree with that. Any of those like mid lightweight wovens would be good for the pants. Here are line drawings so you can see here. This is kind of cool and fun and different. I really can't see it paired with anything other than these kind of wide leg pants though. Maybe leggings or something? I don't know. And this could be cute too. I guess it depends on how loose fitting it is. Beautiful darting in the back. I love that. Same thing with this one on this side. Maybe under here is the same thing as this and this is like an overlay I'm guessing. And then you've got little side seam pockets in the pants. So here she is again. That's pretty. That could be really nice I think. Styled well. Cute. Sizing is all in one. 10 to 22 all in one. All right now we've got a top and cologne skirt. So the top looks to be like a little peplum-ish top with an elasticized waist and wrap. The wrap hits at a really nice place that her bust apex is here. And so the crossover is maybe an inch or so above her apex which is nice coverage. And I'm assuming they also give you instructions for all of this lace and ribbon detail. So if you like that look they'll teach you how to do that. You also have a little cap sleeve option. Oh here's something interesting. So I've been paying a lot of attention to the patterns that come with a sleeveless version and a sleeved version. And inevitably what I'm realizing I think is happening without actually looking at the pattern pieces is they're trying to get away with using one pattern for the bodice and then having you either just leave off a sleeve or add a sleeve. And inevitably when that happens one of the two of them doesn't fit well. And it looks like this one was drafted for a sleeve because you can tell that the shoulder is all the way out like almost to the end of her shoulder. And there is all of this extra fabric here which is added when you put on a sleeve you need all that extra fabric. When it's sleeveless you want it to be you know much more fitted through the arm. You can see it over here a little bit too. So that's a little disappointing. I don't know how hard it is to draft two different bodices. One for one drafted for sleeveless and one drafted for a sleeve. But I don't think it's that hard to alter this. You know you would cut into your pattern piece and you know take out a little bit of this ease here and then scoop this out some. I think that would probably be pretty easy I guess. I've never really tried it before. But when you look at the line drawings there's no bust darts or anything. So yeah I don't you know I'm not super super educated on that but you can see here see how it's gaping. That's because this bodice is drafted for a sleeve and you need all that extra room when you have a sleeve so you can lift your arm and move around and all the wearing ease that you need. So a little something for you guys to pay attention to. Maybe you don't really care that much that's fine too. No more feelings. I'm just trying to be a little bit more aware of the quality of the patterns that I'm buying. I have so many patterns that I don't really need you know anything super new unless it's like unlike anything I have. So if I'm going to buy a new one I want it to be better than the one I own. So if I have like a wrap you know with an elasticized waist I want the new one I buy to be better quality pattern than the one I already own. So that's why I'm kind of trying to pay attention to that. All right sizing one size 10 to 22 again and here's the envelope back. So again I'm very pleased that they're adding bust and hip garment measurements on all of these. You can see it's really generous in the bust. So and then suggested fabrics are calico, chambray, cotton types, eyelet, gauze, jacquard, linen types and silky types. Pretty much runs the gamut of lightweight midweight woven so probably have something in your stash for this. This makes me a little nervous. That's a very high slit on the side. Right but it could be a cute little combo especially if you like the one with the sleeve. This is going to be a beautifully drafted pattern. This one would need a little bit of work though. All right I'm going to try and get off that soapbox. If I notice it again I'll point it out. All right next up is Mrs. Skirt in three lengths and what do you know it's a pull-on skirt. No zipper, no waistband, just elastic. One version has a little tie, one version has nothing and this one has a little belt. I do think these might be cut on the bias which is really cool and very elegant and you know high end looking when you wear it. It looks like a million bucks no matter what shape you are. It just hugs your curves in a very beautiful elegant way. All right this is interesting. They provided bust measurements but there isn't a top. Oh you know what it is? This is supposed to say hip. It's a miss, it's a typo. Oh my gosh. So A and B have this hip measurement and then C is slightly narrower? That's odd. Why wouldn't they all be the same? I have a feeling this whole section might be copied and pasted from a wrong pattern but cotton type, I mean fabric types are cotton on, cotton types, lightweight linen types, shirtings, wall? No. This whole thing is wrong. This whole thing is wrong. I wonder if I'm weird. Okay well the fabric types really should be your silky types. Your crepes, your crepex satins, satin, that sanded satin that they have at Joanne would be beautiful. Fabrics like that. Wild. Let's see if it's in this one. Yeah same thing. Lord help them if this is what the actual printed version looks like. Oh man because look here requirements. One length of elastic cording. You don't need that. A button. You don't need that. Scalloped lace. You don't need that. And ribbon. You definitely don't need that. So I'm not even 100% confident that this is right. This is wild. All right well good luck with that one. Oh man. Wow okay well it is what it is. Moving on. So now we have a top. Looks like that's real cute. All right I'm feeling this one guys. Well you know me in ruffles. So how cute the back detail has this little yoke and then a little crossover with a ruffle that wraps around the front and comes back. That's so cute. This version has little ruffles on the sleeve and the hem. Now I don't know if the back, the back of these is all the same maybe with this little crossover. I don't know. We'll have to look at the back and then C just has this kind of maybe flutter sleeve and whatever this is. Cute. I love this. That is just so my style. Okay yeah there's the back. Okay so here's the front. It has some bust darts. Maybe kind of like fringe darts. That might not be the correct term. But they are kind of at an angle. And then you've got this little, I don't know if that's bias tape or a band or what. And then the ruffle detail for A and B that wraps around the back like so. And then C has the same detail but no ruffle. Cute. And then here's this. So we're not going to get any pictures of the front which is unfortunate but it does look very slim and very well fitted through the bust. This looks really good to me. See how it's fitting her shoulder really well. Which makes me wonder what's going on with this one. You know. You wouldn't really know until you looked, you could pull out the instruction booklet and look at the, you know how the very first section they have all of the pattern pieces. They have line drawings for each individual pattern piece. So you could see is there separate ones for the bodice pieces. All right here's our envelope back. So seven sizes in one, eight through 20. Yeah it's contrast binding. So you're making your own like bias tape basically for the neckline of all of them and the armhole of the sleeveless one. All right. So they provide the bust, the finished bust measurements there. And then your suggested fabric, shally, chambray, cotton types, crape to sheen, jacquard, linen types, shirting, silky types. Yeah all of those light to mid-weight woven. Super, super cute. I love that. This one I would think you would want something lighter just because this little sleeve but these two you can go into the mid-weight. So cute. And then we've already looked at these. So yeah I think I'll definitely be grabbing this one. I mean 430. Can't beat it. All right next up is this topper tunic. Interesting, okay. So we have, I love this. This raglan sleeve is beautiful with this little gathered neckline and a little like neckband and the bishop sleeve. So cute. Center front seam. This belt thing, I don't know. I don't know about that. But this version has this little sleeve tie. Cute. And this one has a flutter sleeve. Maybe if this were lighter weight so it's, see how this is laying real funny? Like all that gathering looks odd because it's more of a shirting. Maybe if it were lighter weight and then you added this belt thing that would be better? Yeah I don't know. They don't give us any pictures of her without the belt. I'd be inclined just to leave that thing off. All right here's the line drawings. So this looks like a tunic length to me and then a little bit shorter and then a little bit shorter. So three different lengths there and then here they are without the belt like the drawings without the belt and then here's the belt. I mean the belt could be cool also if it weren't in chambray. Like out of weather or suede or something else would be a lot cooler than whatever this is. So keep those suggestions in mind. Here's the envelope back. So one size, I mean sorry one yeah one size eight through twenty. You just need a little bit of interfacing for the belts. Here's your fabric requirements. So they're giving you finished bust measurements and then the length notating that they are three different lengths. Cotton types, linen types and shirtings and then also for the top portion chambray, cotton lawn, seersucker and silky types and then D yeah denim leather and suede. So I don't know why they didn't do that for the sample but whatever. Okay this could be cute. I just feel like this sample isn't isn't a great representation of what this could be. I'm thinking silky type with like a leather belt would be very chic. Even if it were like tonal like black on black black leather with a black like silky type you know fabric that could be cool. Yeah this could be this could be improved a little bit but some neat options I think. I love the sleeves and the raglan a lot. Okay next up is this little wrap top and well that's bizarre. So it's a wrap top. It makes me feel like it's this but really maybe they mean this. I don't know. Wrap top seems to be a little bit of a loose term in this one. So you've got your set in sleeves with a like longer like elbow length fell sleeve, short sleeves, sleeve less and then randomly they just threw in this wrap version. Wait a minute these are both C. I'm so confused. Is this the back? Oh that's the back. That is very confusing. Doesn't that make it look like that is an option for the front? They need to say like back or something. Here are the line drawings. Well again C and C. Oh that says back. I'm so confused. Here are the backs. I don't understand how there are two versions of a C front. One with a rounded neckline or a crew neckline and one with a with a wrap. I don't understand that at all. I feel like this is the back of C but then they drew it this way. I don't understand. Do you guys get it? Which one is she wearing? She's wearing B but again we get one picture so I really don't know. It's cute though. I love it as a concept for like a little t-shirt. But I don't know what I'm buying. What's happening here? It's a wrap top and it wraps around the back I think is what is happening. That's all I can think of. That'd be my best educated yes. All right here's the envelope back. Five sizes in one. Extra small through extra large. Contrast overlay for A. I don't even know what that means. I don't know. Contrast overlay for A. I don't get that. And B. B also has contrast overlay. Typically that means it's like a solid layer and then like a lace or eyelet or something on top. So maybe that's what they mean. Then there's C. You have your finished bust measurements, your length measurements, and your width at the hem measurements. Suggested fabrics are shally, charmeuse, crepe, crepe to change, a card, silky types. Guys no this is wrong again. Oh this is so frustrating. This is asking for elastic cording in one button. What the heck do you need a button for? Which makes it makes sense as to why the contrast overlay makes no sense. This is like a knit top. I am beyond with this. I can't even. Okay well this one's wrong too. This is annoying. I hope they get this fixed. I'm just moving on. I really just can't give you guys any. I can't really critique it if it's so messed up. I don't really know what I'm looking at. Okay now we have to try and brush that off. Okay so we have this little dress pattern. Great. It has a yoke. I mean look at this sleeve. This sleeve comes over her shoulder completely. It has a yoke, some interesting stripe placement, and then a band at the bottom. Same thing for B. This might be sheer on B I'm guessing. And then C has contrast yoke sleeves and this is like an embroidered border print deal. So there they are. The back just has a back yoke keyhole opening so you can get it on. Some kind of maybe binding for the openings and side seam pockets. Okay there she is again. I mean this is almost like a drop shoulder but in the drawing it's not really drawn that way so I don't know. This doesn't look bad. I'm just not a thousand percent sure that that's the way it was intended to be so. Also pretty you know straight, straight design here so and then there's no back darts or anything like that. So most of us would probably have to grade out here and give it more of a trapeze look. I mean that could still be cute for sure. You'd just be going away from the original design a little bit. I love those shoes. Okay sizes 10 through 22. We have the envelope back. Let's see if this one's right. Yeah okay so we've got a contrast yoke and lower band separate fabric requirements for that which is really nice and then this one C cut crosswise the whole thing. This whole thing is cut crosswise. That's interesting and then your contrast yoke. You need a lot of fabric to do it that way. Is she wearing C? No. Oh because they're because it's for the border print. Okay okay that makes sense and then you have your bust measurements and your length. Suggested fabrics or shallot, crepe, dupeoni, okay, jacquard linen types, pk, shirtings, soaky types yes. Then for your lower band and the yoke, batiste and organza. So yeah that is a sheer you know suggestion and then C and border print fabrics. Okay yeah it looks like the this is bias finding all of that. A button and cording. Cording? Oh for the little neckline. All right not my favorite but all right this one looks fun. Mrs. Dress in two lengths easy just for knits. So we've got a uh what is that? I'm forgetting the name of this neckline. Oh shoot I cannot remember it. Anyways higher kind of crew neck neckline. Sleeveless version and a sleeved version. It looks like this little belt is sewn into the side seam and then tied on front and then we've got a variety of lengths happening here. So all I can really tell from that and that I can't tell much about that either. Little keyhole in the back, center back seam and the belts. ABC and then D has a separate belt. So maybe A is A and D. Again it's so confusing you guys. I gotta imagine this is just one solid piece of fabric no darts no seams nothing. If I had to guess that's what I'd say. I mean yeah that's definitely sewn into a side seam it's on a separate belt so. And I also feel like you could wrap it around the back and then tie in the front. It's long enough to be able to do that so yeah depending on just kind of the overall look you were going for you could tie it in different ways. We've got let's see. Yeah eight through 20 one size all the sizes in one pattern eight through 20. Here's your different lengths your bust measurements probably pretty generous and then your finished lengths and widths stretch knits only bamboo interlock ity jersey modal stretch velvet yeah all those would be really great. And then single fold bias tape one button and two inch length of elastic cording. That's all for this these last two are for the little keyhole and then I'm guessing the this is all bias bound the neckline and arm holes. All right there you go here's a cute little number I love shoulder ties. This is just a one dress with many different options so it looks like you've got this center front deep V with gathers at the shoulder and the under bust kind of a curved Empire waist seeming here in the skirt which is lovely I love that detail and then you've got just a straight hem you've got a little gathered not even gathered it's just a flounce you've got an added flounce which they're making it feel like that's what she's wearing. Oh there it is right there so rather I mean I imagine this is her knee maybe so yeah a really decent sized flounce and then here is the same version in a solid and then C has this really cool like off the shoulder flounce which is also fun. This could be cute this would be out of my comfort zone with the length for sure I don't normally do things that hit I don't know that ankle length but I love the bodice a lot a lot a lot I think she is again sorry I can't get it all in one yeah the fabric's a little busy and hard to really tell what's going on but I think it's a very cute very flattering design I think it would look good on a lot of different body types this is adorable her yeah her ties maybe they didn't do bows just look how long her ties are versus what is here these look so dainty I like hers better and then this is the back so you've got a side zip which is also really nice center back seam and then again with the little darts here so the shaping through the waist is going to be like really nice really really nice hard to tell on her because she's so slim as it is but if they put this on a woman with like more curves you'd really be able to tell cute I really like this one you guys let's see if they got this part right all right so yes this all seems to be making sense now okay so seven sizes in one 10 through 22 you need a little bit of interfacing oh the bodice is lined even better I'm really liking this one this is a very nice pattern yeah and then B and C has separate measurements four yards oh my gosh if you do it I mean I hardly ever buy fashion fabric that's 45 inches wide every once in a while something will come along but mostly it's 60 inches and then your bust measurement I wish they had the hip measurement here too but I mean it seems to be wide enough but to maybe not matter too much and then this is the finished lengths charmeuse cotton lawn crepe crepe to sheen double georgette silky types of wall yeah B not suitable for one-way design fabrics meaning like stripes I'm assuming that's because of this this must be cut in a way maybe on the bias which is actually nice because it will hang really beautifully but because of that you can't do anything with like a directional fabric and then you just need a little invisible zipper cute I'm definitely getting this one super cute okay now we've got this little jumpsuit which is sort of reminding me of the butter it learned to sew pattern remember it had the center front invisible zipper I think this is what that is supposed to be this makes a lot more sense than a center front invisible zipper but alright so we've got this square neckline with a little spaghetti strap and you can see you can see that it kind of comes to a point at the bottom which is a nice you know kind of interesting detail you've got this massive waist tie this looks really low even in the drawing so this is kind of like a drop waist I guess which isn't my favorite especially when you have a belt tied at the waist and then a seam below that that's odd I would move that up so that the belt concealed the waist seam but then you've got I want to say maybe some darting or pleating or something happening in the pant side seam pockets and then kind of a slim straight leg let's check out the line drawings so we can tell really what's going on so yeah it looks like there's two pleats in the pant or short and then no shaping at all in the bodice all of that is reliant on this belt which is interesting okay that would make me instantly want to make a muslin um then you have a center back zipper your belt is sewn into the center back seam and then back darts so a is a address a might be a dress that's cool I like that they include both um again with the side seam pockets I mentioned those before then you've got your you know kind of slim straight leg pant and then a short romper super cute in this little stripe but yeah a is a dress okay this is cute that again this this way this bodice fits it looks great on her which makes me feel a little bit more confident but the fact that it has no darts anywhere uh makes me you know pause a little bit but I do think this style although it is a little young um I still think it's really cute and modest and even though I don't love spaghetti straps usually because this neckline is so high um I think that it's it's a nice detail I'd probably give this one a try this is the same picture of her all right now we've got let's see what the envelope back looks like okay this looks correct um seven sizes in one eight through 20 I like that I I like that a lot about new look patterns that I don't because I typically my bust is in the smaller set like in McCall's my bust is in the smaller set and my hip is in the larger set so if I ever want to do like a jumpsuit or something I always have to buy both I don't have to but I tend to buy both to make it easier on myself so this has them all which I think is really great all right there's your fabric requirements and then bust measurements again I wish they had finished hip but that's okay I'll take this over nothing that's for sure finished back length so a b and c and then you have your leg widths which I mean I don't know who cares about that batik chambray cotton types gingham linen types shirtings yeah I would think maybe for the dress all of those will be okay these ones with the pants well yeah maybe it could work in all of them sure okay perfect super cute all right next up is this little number I'm getting immediate wedding vibes either for the bride or for the bridal party or a guest the scalloped neckline is stunning stunning I literally have nowhere to wear this but it is beautiful you also have this version with a strap which is also nice you've got horizontal bust darts and vertical waist darts waist darts in the skirt as well and look they even give you this really beautiful like circle skirt version too I want to wear this where can I go where can I go in that I need a garden party you know what I mean it's lovely really beautiful and we get all these illustrations beautiful brocade little floral like digital print I guess that could be like a cotton or something right she looks like a million bucks so cute I wonder if it has boning or anything I'm guessing not lovely lovely lovely there's our backs I didn't call those out earlier center back zipper and some more darting in the back so cute one's eyes 10 through 22 all right so it looks like the bodice is lined but not the skirt a little bit of interfacing this skirt is cut crosswise which is beautiful I mean it takes a ton of fabric but I mean obviously it's worth it in my opinion no boning so I don't know how this thing stays up but maybe your shoulders just hold it up um garment measurements here's your bust measurement and then the finished lengths I would think A and B would be the same but I guess they're not and then C obviously is much longer brocade chintz cotton types crateback satin damask dubioni I think I said that's pronounced fail fall I don't know jacquard satin chantung so definitely they are going for a more elegant dress here they're definitely going spring summer event dress and then C is not suitable for one direction prints because the skirt is cut on the bias okay it's really beautiful if you have any event going on this summer highly recommend this so fun and sewing scallops is so much easier than you think all right this might be our last one yep it's our last one a little another dress okay this is interesting several different looks here we've got that same kind of high square neck with a spaghetti strap except this one also has this little crossover panel which I think is actually really cute and cool so A is the dress without the panel and just this little waist tie and then B has the little wrap wrap around panel and then C randomly I guess is maybe A without the belt and patch pockets it looks completely different I'm getting a totally different vibe from it right here are line drawings so you've got little bust darts a little split hem for A I was really I was holding my breath for some back darts but they aren't there but as you've seen from my tutorial they're easy enough to add center back seam center back zip too and then also what's interesting is and I really like this is this little panel is just sewn into the side seam so it doesn't wrap around the back and the backs basically look the same you also have an option for a wider strap which I know will be appealing to some of you based on your comments cute so this would be maybe a more drapey fabric this would be something a little bit more substantial I just think that's such a fun detail especially in this like batik stripe so cool and then this little box plaid I don't know if I love that but some kind of like denim look I'm getting like kind of like an apron vibe from it not a bad thing but this is like a maybe a satin or something so nice that's real cute real cute nothing like I own for sure for sure okay seven sizes eight through 20 you need a little bit of interfacing you here's your fabric requirements which guys look less than two yards for all of these even B how is that possible B is the one with the wrap right yeah well now I'm thinking that's not right here's your bus kind of close fitting I agree with that and then they only provide you with the finished lengths and widths but the fabrics are right batik shally cotton types gingham lightweight linen type shirtings and silky types yeah I don't know about the fabric requirements for B I would think B would need a lot more because you've got this whole little extra thing so I don't see how A and B have the same fabric requirements so man yeah I just I don't get it so I guess proceed precaution on this one as well maybe if I hadn't seen the great uh egregious errors and the other ones I would maybe not even notice but because those other ones were so messed up I don't know if I have a lot of confidence in any of the envelope backs if I'm being 100 honest oh man okay well I mean trying to overlook that what did you guys think of this collection there are some really good ones in here I will say especially for the new look collection which tends to be a little bit younger and a little bit uh not basic but basic that's simple you know there's it's not vogue you know with these complicated designs there's a lot of lined bodices which is really nice to see yeah let me know which ones you guys like I think I'll be grabbing the top 6622 and this dress 6617 for sure maybe this one too 6614 if I had to pick three I also do like the jumpsuit though I like this knit dress so I like the top although it's confusing as what's going on so yeah there's a lot of really cute ones in here but this uh top and this dress for sure let me know what you guys are going to be picking up and what you think of this new summer collection after this I think we're just waiting on the calls at this point so stay tuned for that and until next time I will see you all very soon bye
