 How you guys welcome back to another episode of first impression Friday today We are taking a look at the brand new brand from the big four Which is now going to be the big five. This is no me patterns Very first inaugural collection. If you missed it. I did a video Already kind of talking you through what this is the vision behind it And sort of just some of the the overarching thoughts and ideas I had Learning about this for the first time. So I have linked that in the top right corner of your screen here You can click on that it opens in a brand new tab. So you will not lose your place here But today we are gonna do our traditional First impressions. I'm gonna go through each of the patterns just like I normally would for any of the big fives It's gonna be so weird getting used to saying that the big five collections And You know assess the patterns for fit fabrication overall design just like I normally would If you're new here, and this is your very first inside the hem video, welcome My name is Lindsay. I sew all my own clothes and this youtube channel Is really like my space where we can like all nerd out about garment sewing at home together I would love it if you would leave a comment introducing yourself so that I can get to know you a little better But for everybody else here be sure you're subscribed you may think you are and you aren't and it's so sad And you can click the bell if you want to get notified every time I post a video Okay, so first things first. We're jumping right in. I don't know necessarily how these are organized I don't think it's by any certain way But this is the mrs. And women's coat and trousers by butte jador Aka nicky brooks. She's been around since way before I started sewing you guys probably know her But in my opinion her style is very chic She is always on point with the trends and the style. I mean you can even tell this power pose here is giving me life Um, it's described as an average rating The sizing is and I expect for every pattern in the nomi collection to be fully inclusive So we have a size 10 up to a 38 women's three different envelopes and I expect that throughout I don't think that they are going to be doing some patterns in some sizes and other patterns and other sizes I think that they're all going to be the same. Well, we'll confirm as we go forward But what is missing here is the four six and eight size range. So the petites Are not here So we're going to look at the size chart and see just what a size 10 means and just what a size 38 means and we can kind of Talk about it then but This is rated as average in difficulty oversized line coat Which oh my gosh, I don't need coats, but an oversized one I need Um has belt sleeve bands wide lapel notched collar and side seam pockets high waisted ankle length trousers have waistband front and back darts invisible side zipper and side seam slits at ankle Okay So jumping into the photos. This is the cover. I kind of like that They have the cover as the first image normally that's hidden like after all of the Other photos But we have a which is the coat and a and b coat and pants There's that photo again So all of the designers are the models also these are not fit models These are not people that have been hired from an agency or whatever This is nikki. Nikki designed these patterns. She's the one modeling. Just how Mimi g does it So off the bat. Yes, we have the coat with the wide lapel notched collar We have the belt with belt loops and this sleeve It looks to wow, I don't know that's a is that the sleeve seam all the way up here We'll have to look at line drawings, but I'm loving these huge cuffs There side seam pockets in there somewhere and then it is a fully lined coat and you can see the lining here Then these are the trousers. So we've got a waistband Doesn't it look like there's some seaming in there? um darts very close fitting But also a really good fit So I don't know if the what the fabrication is we'll have to look at that when we get to the pattern back But it's got to have some stretch in it, right? And then she has this really pretty Pressed pleat and then they are cuffed or did she did they say they were cuffed? I don't remember that from the description But here the little side seam slits I don't remember if they said that they were cuffed or not. Hold on. I have to go back Um trials are waistband front and back darts invisible side zippers side seam slits at ankle. Yeah So she might have just turned them up on her own Hmm I have thoughts about that I don't like when they I think they should model the design as it was designed because that's making me think This is a cropped pant But when I go to buy it and make it, I mean, obviously I'm checking length anyways, but It's going to be much longer. Let's see if all the photos have them cuffed. Yeah, so far. Yes Um, here's the back of the coat So it's a dropped shoulder Um Design with a sleeve and it looks like is that I don't think there's top stitching there Nope, then you got the center back Your belts and it's just long and oversized Yep Okay, cool Well, now what's this? So maybe if they are I don't know what's happening. I can't tell I can't tell between what she has on and what the description says and what this is telling me I don't know. I'd have to look at the pattern pieces and Make heads or tails of it that way Okay, uh-oh Where's the pattern back? Oh, here we go. Okay. We've got the yardage tab back Which is honestly a million times easier to read. So I am here for this Um, okay. So for the coat tweed wool blends gabardine cotton blends Yes, if you watched my style maker fabrics video so many wonderful wools in that collection You could even make a lighter weight one, which would be more like a trench coat vibe um Same thing with the cotton blends and then for the pants Cotton blends dupeyony silk linen blends sateen stretch woven Lightweight wool blends so really not a lot of stretch at all Um, which is incredible that they are so fitted Without any drag lines like at all not granted There is no photo of the back of the pants There's a photo of the back of the coat, but we don't get a 360 of the pants at all. So I don't know. Maybe a myriad of sins are hiding on the backside I doubt it judging from how good the front looks But there's something to be said for that fit for sure For sure. I've talked before about how I don't know if they let them make alterations to their patterns, right like The patterns are based off of a block That is developed like in house by the design team And so when you make patterns for that brand You have to use that block and so I mean Mimi even makes very close fitting clothes But hers always seem to have some kind of wrinkle or something. These have none So I'm super impressed by that All right, then we have our lining fabric. We have interfacing. We have one zipper for the pants Yeah, and that's it. No closures anywhere else. Okay, so fabric requirements go up to We got five yards for the coat a little less than that for the lining Which makes me think that maybe the whole thing isn't lined Oh wait, the collar wouldn't be The band may okay that maybe makes sense um Oh, that's the interfacing anyways, okay, and then this is the lining a slightly less Yeah, okay that makes tons of sense the trousers are up to three yards of fabric depending on your size And then there's a little bit of interfacing for the waistband there Um, and the waistband also has a lining Okay, so The finished garment measurements at the bust which are sort of irrelevant here The waistline for the yeah the measurements for the jacket the coat really are irrelevant. It's so oversized but for the waistline of the pants It's a 27 up to 54 and a half and the hip line of the pants 38 up to 67 So this side of things looks great. I know all of you petite girls out there are scratching your heads wondering How like how the inclusivity is missing you guys and I get that I feel you I've heard from you guys online I've heard from you in the dms like I get it um So maybe the next round is what you can hope for I don't know um So There you have it the first pattern from nicky at Youte du jour Jodor I always get those tongue tied. This is pretty j jones. You probably know her from youtube She has designed a women's knit top and jeans um average rating The three size ranges again are the same Knit mock turtleneck top has sleeveless or three-quarter sleeve options and has tie belt and side slits trouser style jeans With pleats have pockets And straight or tapered leg options. Okay So this is britney knit top trouser jeans Also made out of corduroy here Okay, let's take a closer look. This is the top obviously So mock turtleneck, but it's also giving me um Well cowl vibes Like to me a turtleneck has that separate seam, but this almost feels like a groan on Turtleneck And then we have a sudden sleeve a little bit long through the shoulder here I would say her shoulder should end about here. I don't think it's meant to be a drop shoulder Then you have a three-quarter sleeve a little tie belt for some waist definition and then these really cool side slits So it's like a tunic, right? It's very much tunic length, but this slit here gives it a lot of personality and also Lengthens her leg line a lot So it's actually like a lot more flattering than a tunic that cuts you off at the biggest part of your Some of our bodies Right, can you see how that just elongates her leg there? She looks 50 000 feet tall I love that Okay, so here are the trousers. Is this tapered? This must be the tapered version I want to see more of the pants Here is the sleeveless tank. Yeah, definitely like a groan on situation The sleeveless version Has the same arm side as the sleeved version That would be something that I would nitpick. I like a cut in sleeveless Arm side that's just I don't know if it's a personal preference. I don't know but this Obviously, this is where the sleeve would go and still it feels a little bit long But it's an easy alteration to take that back on your own if you want I just think it when you see the whole shoulder. It's a little bit more flattering. Maybe I don't know Um, okay, and then this is a shorter length because the slits are shorter And then here are the pants. There are some pleats in the pants Um, and some slash pockets. I can kind of see This must be the wide leg or straight leg version. Sorry Okay So I'm trying to make heads or tails of this. Sorry. So this is the front Yeah, it's a normal set in sleeve situation. So double check the length of the shoulder Sleeved sleeveless And then the backs of Okay, then this is the back of b and the back of a Okay, whoops And then here's your tie belt. Yeah, that makes perfect sense And then Well, how did that happen? Hold on. Hold on Okay, and then for the pants Tapered that has actually like a little dart in the ankle. That's really cool Um, but they are full on pleated pant like We're taking it back to the mom jeans With a pleat here or maybe even dad jeans, which one has the pleat in it Um pleated full on fly construction slash pockets. You've got a yoke a waistband with belt loops Back pockets all of that As always with the big five I'm missing lots and lots and lots of angles like I need A lot more photos. I want to see more of the waistband of the pant I want to see the back like there's not one photo of the back like I just want to see a lot more before I'm purchasing this. I mean the line drawings are nice, but I want to see it in 3d All right the yardage Stretch this is for the top stretch and it's only interlock jersey rib knit ity sweater knit Yeah, they're gonna have a stretch gauge, but not tell us what that is So If you're ordering online and you're trying to find fabric You'll just have to wait till the pattern comes in I guess I don't know why they can't put the stretch percentage in here, but And then for the pants cotton blends denim linen blends pinwheel corduroy stretch wovens lining for The pants I'm assuming is just the waistband, but they put cotton blends polyester lining fabric And then lightweight fusible for the waistband And then bias tape for The pants. Oh, no the sleeveless top. Okay, they're giving those two separate View letters. Okay, and then for the pants seven inch zipper and then your one button Okay 10 to 38 like we said the top Goes up to roughly two and a half yards the sleeveless version is Less than two yards if you're up to a size 18 the sleeveless one is a one-yard wonder And maybe even can fudge up to the 22 would be a one-yard wonder too And then for your pants the tapered version These are the fabric requirements for those not a lot considering it's a full pant, you know And then oh, it's the pocket bag lining. That's what they're calling out that lining fabric for okay, um, and then They don't have on here the body measurement chart So I don't know which one they're using maybe simplicity since that's where Mimi came from but I can't speak to ease Because I don't have the body measurement chart, but it the top is a 33 and a half Bus inch bust up to 59. I'm assuming there's some negative ease in there considering how fitted it is on britney um And then the pants waistline finished and the hip line finished pretty similar to the pants we saw from nicky Okay Next We have alissa Mrs. Knit cardigan and skirt by alissa threads Cardigan has ruffle flounce neckline detail and comes in cropped or long lengths Long or short skirt has elastic waistband and front slit detail It only comes in alphanumeric sizing small through 2x Interesting, okay Alissa is the girly girl of my dreams. I've been following her for years because she loves a flounce Maybe more than I do and I really love a flounce um So she's got a This is definitely like a rib knit right cardigan cropped with this Flounce, I mean, it's definitely a flounce, right? I don't know it might be gathered And then it has this band and then three buttons But also this full sleeve with a cuff and then this really cute pull on very simple skirt here Um that has a slit on one leg Princess seams really straightforward. This fabric over here looks very Not knit So, um, we'll have to look at the fabrication Of all of that, but isn't she the cutest? This one looks Well, now I say that now it kind of doesn't look a knit. I don't know We'll have to look Can't honestly say how I feel about I think together It's really cute Hmm I think I'm having a hard time with the concept of a cropped cardigan I mean obviously easy enough to lengthen Maybe even just a little bit. Maybe this is Too cropped for me, but looks great on her Yeah, I think if it were less of a sliver and more of like the waist the bands overlap each other maybe Where it looks a little bit more like a dress Or maybe I'm having a problem with the fact that this has a button placket and this doesn't I don't know something about these two things is like Really jarring right here Okay, here are the line drawings. They're really cute. Um They do have a longer version, okay There's a longer version with six buttons than she has hers. Well hers only had three buttons, but the Illustration has four. So there's that um A b the length of a I'm sorry the sleeve of a the sleeve of b Is b's sleeve different? No, that's the length of b Okay sleeves are the same, right? My eyes are playing tricks on me. Then we have this elasticated skirt With princess seams and a little slit Really straightforward on that Okay, let's look at The envelope back Yeah stretch knits only jersey knit ity and sweater knits For the top and then the bottoms are paunty double knit and sweater knit. So really The only recommendation to have them matching is a sweater knit, which I think a sweater knit Mini skirt is cute and then obviously a sweater knit cardigan is cute Yeah, I think I would just play around for me I would play around with the proportions a little bit This lighter weight one though I don't know because it's kind of like a maxi dress. I don't know Maybe it's the shortness of this and the longness of This I don't know. Okay um six buttons four buttons Elastic good thick. I mean wide one quarter one and a quarter inch wide elastic I love that chunky elastic and a waistband alphanumeric sizing which puts us at a 35 inch finished Bus line up to 50 and a half I don't know why b is so much closer fitting. Aren't they the same Be what am I looking at? Let's go to here where I can make heads or tails a bit better So a and b are the same ones just shorter yet one also has Two and a half inches less ease That doesn't make a lot of sense and then the waistline of the skirt is 31 to 46 and a half And the hip line is 36 to 51 and a half Really kind of surprised to see it so Small Okay, next we have Mrs. Jacket pants and skirt by duana m chandler How fun? I just love the cover so much With their little picture here like their little like professional If I were a banker, here's my biopic. Okay average rating again classy streetwear includes cropped zip front jacket So this is cropped too But not as cropped. Maybe that is what I was talking about the last The list is pattern. I don't know zip front jacket pants and skirt with grommet and tie details short skirt with Back vent and straight leg pants have pockets and invisible zipper at side seam So this is one of those like wardrobe type of outfits where you get the jacket skirt and pants all in one All right duana, let's see what we've got here Zip front this looks like maybe a pontine it um, you do have a Collar like a stand collar the shoulder seam on this looks really great bust darts look wonderful There is a waist seam and like a little baby peplum where this little drawstring is fed through That's really fun and unique. I don't really feel like I've seen that anywhere and then we've got a pull-on skirt with darts But I need to see more about what's happening with this pocket it almost looks like like a like a cargo pocket With like a bow, you know, I love a bow And then just a straight hem okay Here are The pants which again have a pleat And the same pocketing detail I kind of wish she would have done the collar in the rib too Or this in the same like all of it the same or these I don't know um Small super nitpicky silly little things that my brain notices Um, and then a beautiful leg line. I'm loving the look on this nice deep hem here Yeah, it is kind of cool, especially with her like black accessories Well, she only has the shoes, but I imagine she had a black bag With it too. I think that's really fun Oh good a back great. Love that. Um So Yeah, it looks like Okay. Yeah, just the the neck band slash collary thing here center back seam I'm not sure what all this is about. Maybe it's just like the stiffness of her fabric And then I also don't really love that you can see this seam line here But that can easily be fixed Then you have a center back seam with this really cute kick pleat Some threads that need to be trimmed which I've been there girl. I've been there. Um Back darts and then here's a kind of pretty good look at the pocket Now the pocket is Literally on the side of your hips. So I know a lot of you are thinking. Oh my god That's gonna make me look bigger than I am, but I don't know necessarily. I mean, she's she's Endowed in the lower half and I don't feel like it really adds Well, if when you look at these it definitely does Hold on. Let's go to another Oh, we don't really have a straight on photo Well, if you always turn with one hip toward the back Pop one hip and keep one arm in front of you Then you'll look exceptional every single time Oh I don't know. I think if you think it's cool who cares if it makes your hips look better than they really are That's my vote But it's unique, right Definitely not like anything we see anywhere not even indies I can't even think of an indie that looks like this The pocketing is really cool and this little peplum thing is fun And a side zip to get in I love a side zip Okay Let's see the yardage So it is Well, it's a woven or very stable knit pattern. So cotton blends linen blends tapeta polyester blends nylon blends And then ponte and double knit like I said, I think that that purple one is a ponte And then you do need some rib knit for the sleeve cuff Lining fabric lightweight fusible And then you need some grommets like how hard is it for them to highlight all of this or none of this? Like I don't understand like Why the bolding is so chaotic here. Um, okay, so all the grommets the ties Um, separating zipper Bias tape and an invisible zipper for the pants And then on this one we have eight to sixteen and then 18 to 26 size range Okay, so I stand corrected. I thought for sure every single pattern was going to be Well into the women's sizing, but it's not Here is our fabric requirements. I mean one and a half yards for that jacket Come on That's fun fun not a lot of fabric probably a pretty quick. So That's really cool. Um, and then there's your sleeve band interfacing Pants are Yeah, uh, uh, up to two two and a quarter yards depending on how good you are at pattern tetris And the little skirt is a one-yard wonder So you could do the skirt in the jacket for You know two and a half ish Maybe a little bit less yards of fabric And then here's your finished garment measurements Again, I don't really have anything to compare it to so it's kind of just like arbitrary right now, but they are here Um for you to help pick your sides, but the problem is and they don't provide I guess you could go in here and like Memorize this I wish I just had it all together, but Anyways You could do this and then do the math to figure out how much ease to figure out if you need to size up size down What the situation is? All right, we've got I hope it's the top. Yes. Women's top and pants by eronica b coal An outfit that can do it all thanks to the simple but pretty details. I mean, yes The top features princess seams gathered sleeves elasticized band and button back keyhole opening Slim fit pants have Front pleats and waistband with back elastic Now this is a women's only pattern So it's only coming in the women's sizes So for the very very first time There might be some people in the mrs. Section who Finally feel the pain that all of the plus size women have been feeling for so long when you see something super super cute And it doesn't come in your size um That like jealousy or whatever emotion that is has been Felt the other way for so long But that said I still don't think it's right to eliminate Any of the sizes I don't understand why they can't just make these in sizes four to 38. I don't I don't understand I'm sure there's a very Maybe good at best decent explanation for why something to do with the tissue paper production, I don't know but I just wish that Everybody could sew anything Then I'll leave it at that that said I am so happy that I am on the very small end the smallest end of the uh women's sizing because this top is So stinking cute So we have a crop top, but this lovely um princess seam No princess seam sweetheart neckline. That's what I'm trying to say into this mesh With like a bias binding finish on the neckline and then like Are these Applicate on like what is the story behind these sleeves because it is just very pretty Then we've got a waist waistband trouser. Look at this two darts in the front. I'm assuming two in the back as well Um Some Oh wait, they're elastic sized in the back. So you just pull them on so no closures You do have pockets here and then they're kind of a little bit of a taper at the bottom Love this and I think that might be elastic here too Straight on view. Thank you so much for this And there's even like a little puff sleeve So this must be the fabric because there's a little bit in the seam allowance here Think about all of those super super cool mesh fabrics that you see and you're like, what am I going to do with this? Like it doesn't have to be like a super fancy gown or dress. It can be this really freaking cute top A back view. Okay. She's giving it all. Thank you. So we've got a keyhole with a button closure the Mesh little I guess it's like a yoke Um continues through the back And then yeah You're a lovely straight leg pant So cute And if the crop's not for you leave the elastic out lengthen this a little bit and you've got a regular top I don't know that I might be buying this one guys. It's very very cool And like fun for someone like me who Would go to holiday events, but I'm not going to a gala like I'm not going to Even really what would be considered a party like at best. It's like a dinner with girlfriends Where we're like, let's dress up and our dress up version is usually jeans and a cute top But this could be like the Lindsay twist on all of that. I really like this All right pattern back This is for the top cotton blends linen blends stretch woven's ponti double knit Also in crepe machine and silky types and then the contrast is novelty shear Georgia and chiffon. So it doesn't even have to be sheer you can put on a georgette or chiffon And just have like a lightweight flowy moment contrasted with some of these lighter weight fabrics Interfacing Oh, that's the fabric for both the top and the bottom I mean, okay. Oh, yeah, okay Then you need elastic Uh More elastic One button And an invisible zipper An invisible zipper. I missed that No There's no zipper in this illustration Slim fit pants have front pleats and waistband with back elastic. There's no zipper Okay, so then you have your 16 to 26 28 to 38 sizing The top Now remember it's two parts. It's the contrast and like the main part So all in all the largest size is two and a quarter yards at most is what you would need Then the pants again two and a half two and three quarter yards A little bit of interfacing bust line Oh, it actually might be too big I'm like a 36 inch bust But the pants would fit so that's what it is. I am the smallest size in pants in my hip But the top I'm like fully in Misses Well, maybe I can like hack this myself and just kind of steal the design idea and give her full credit for the inspiration But because it doesn't come in my size kind of just figure it out on my own because I love that Oh, I also wanted to see how many darts were in the back None because it's elastic. Okay. Okay. All right. So was that everything? Yes Hip line 46 and a half up to 68 waistline 40 to 62 Even my waistline isn't in the women's I don't think I don't remember what it is off the top of my head now, but Love that one. That's my favorite so far Okay, now we have the corny rainbow with a dress She always makes such cute dresses very fun vibrant Personality and her clothes reflect that just a hundred percent Um tuxedo style dress has princess seams gathered skirt and long sleeve or sleeveless options Dress has double breasted buttons and includes hidden button closure So full on double breasted tuxedo situation Sizing is 8 to 16 and then 18 to 26 Okay, yeah another size range Okay, so let's get into it tuxedo style. So we've got the Lepel with the big notch Cross over double breasted situation, but look at the skirt has is a gathered skirt And at like an angle so kind of like 80s vibes And then a very full skirt with a blind hem possibly that's beautiful Lovely, I mean this sleeve was a little bit Like the shoulder seam is a little bit long on this one too, but Maybe because it's meant to emulate Uh outerwear, I don't know. It's kind of okay Let's look at the green one The sleeveless one So on this one, yeah the arm side in general looks a little Big um because I would be taking this up to here Obviously this can come in a lot more maybe even a little bit higher But this is just like a suede or something. That's so fun I really like this. I know it's very 80s and all of you were like, oh my god been there done that but I really like the little curved gathered skirt It's cute. Look at this hair bow Right like she walks into a room and I know everyone's just like catching eyes cute Here it is from the side So for as full as it is from the front as full as this isn't granted her hands are in the pockets, but As full as this is this way This way not so full Which is very flattering. I think And then you can see here that the gathers kind of come in and stop at this princess seam It also kind of goes through here and down And then some fisheye darts in here too. Yeah, maybe wait, is this all a seam? We're going to look at the line drawings. This might be More complicated than I really know there's nothing up there So it looks like princess scenes from the arm side. Can you see how it's too big? Um, I think maybe because she's full or busted she had to make it this size to fit her bust But it's too big in the arm side and shoulder. I see it a lot It's I mean one of those things about sewing at home where you know doing the best you can with sizing Um, but a couple quick alterations in the arm side and it would be pretty perfect All right, so this is the princess seam comes down through here. I like that. There's no gathers like on the fullness of the bum a little bit long through here, but Not bad at all I mean the line drawings make it look kind of cray, but It looks really cute on Like this it looks very like victorian, but on her maybe because the fabric she chose I don't know. It doesn't look that way at all I kind of think this would be really cool in like a very simple fabric too Like I always like to try and imagine fancy things in chambray And that really just wipes away any notion of it being fancy to me And I can imagine this in like a really cute chambray or I don't know maybe seersucker or something I don't know. I'm going super sweet with it, but Cute all right, so Cotton blends stretch wovens create velvet and double knit No chambray or seersucker mentioned anywhere. That's okay. Um button or sorry, uh bias tape buttons Um Yeah, we did the sizing. Okay. Yeah, it's gonna take a bit of fabric because of that skirt And because the center panels are so long as well and it's double breasted. So yeah, kind of a fabric hog But never really not that bad considering like a full sleeved double, you know, four yards not so bad Um, and then here's your finished garment measurements. It is pretty close fitting Um through the bust for sure And the waist for that matter Okay, next up we have Mrs. Knit dresses by kichi b style. I have to admit. I don't know I don't know if I follow her or not. I will now. Oh marsha spencer. That sounds familiar Okay, I'll look into that. Um, anyways, fully just digressed. We have a Dress knit dress this comfortable yet polished If that isn't me, I don't know what is comfortable yet polished knit dress features exposed separating front zipper contrast rib knit at collar sleeve bands and middrift And comes in two lengths Okay 8 to 16 and then 18 to 26. So same as the last pattern Let's look at the big pictures Okay So imagine a Balmer jacket dress But it has this really unique kind of like yoke detail too Very sporty with the separating zipper It would have been kind of cool to do the two-way zipper But I don't know if you could get into it if you did that. I don't know Um side seam pockets the band the rib knit is at the wrist the midriff and the neck And then it's kind of like a column dress Very wide waistband But also, uh, these gathers I assume are intentional Might be a little tall Right. I think I would like it better if it stopped right here on her Okay, here is Yeah, this version I think fits better. I don't know why I don't know if maybe this is narrower. I don't know but Fun little like I don't know southwestern type of print grown on sleeve. So this is really ideal for Stripes or anything with like a directional print like this And this is the shorter length Let's see more. Nope. No more photos. Okay. So this part is the only thing about it to me that is a little bit like, um Like an aliens uniform kind of I'm not understanding the choice of the bib not that it's not cool But also let me just That pattern matching you can see it right here That is incredible. I had to do a double take Comes through here comes down this way Back up through here and then right here you can barely barely see it. That's incredible kudos to her for that Um center back seam on the top but not on the skirt So being a pear shape, I think that these designs that are fitted on the bottom and roomy on the top Give me an hourglass shape, which I don't mind But if you are Well, if you're already hourglass Yeah, this might be pretty flattering on all body types But the waistband definitely does pull in And create a sense of gathers underneath this I would just triple check the width of this just to make sure it's not going up too high But also you have the long sleeve bands too, which I didn't notice on the short version It's cool. It's different. It might be a little too out there for me I am comfortable yet polished But this might be a little too like cool and I'm not cool Um moderate stretch and it's only as it is double knit, ponty, scuba, sweatshirt fleece Teary knit. Well, that's gonna be like freaking pajamas Rib knit And then a 30 inch separating zipper Up to three yards ish and then you have your bands Bands bands bands and then loose fitting top Probably negative ease at the waist and then the hip line would probably be pretty Like close to your actual hip measurement Like zero ease, I guess Yeah, I just don't know if I could pull that off or people would think that I was like wearing a costume or something Okay, now we have Mrs and women's jumpsuit by handmade millennial aka Ella Clausen Here for the millennials I'm barely a millennial. I'm a cuss millennial on the high end So I'd like to state claim to my millennialism as as much as I possibly can Um, okay, so this one we have the full size range 10 to 38 Um wide leg jumpsuits feature twist front detail Deep v-neck side seam pockets and invisible zack back zipper options include long or short flutter sleeves And full or cropped length pant. I'm assuming So cute. I don't know where she lives, but I want to go there Okay, so okay, so we have like a grown on Like kind of collery type of thing with this twist front detail Very loose fitting right like this is loosey-goosey kind of everywhere You have the flutter sleeve again. It's a little bit long in the shoulder And then the pant has pleats And then this must be the wide long leg. This fabric is so cool with all those faces Okay, this version feels more fitted And sexier just kind of in general. I don't know how that happened But there's also a puff sleeve, which I didn't notice on the last version at all Long sleeve. Oh, maybe the flutter sleeve doesn't have this only the the fitted sleeve does and then Kind of giving like tuxedo Copper bunch, right? So that could be really cool for the holidays to do like a crepeback satin And have the satiny part be this part and then the crepe part be this or something. You know, I mean Yeah, I don't know if she's pulling. I don't know what's happening here Why something with this hand is making all of this happen because it's not happening over here It's also kind of both arms back like that. It's pulling this apart in a weird way. I don't know. It's an odd pose. Oh, there we go That's lovely I I like this I like this a lot, especially visioning it Like similar but different like shine or matte or some tone on tone thing. Maybe I don't know Here's the back. Thank you for a back for you So center back zipper Through the waist seam This must be the wide leg and the other one is not But you do have these beautiful darts Coming up through here. I do feel like there's a little long waisted on her Just a little bit Like her waist is probably up here somewhere, but you've got these pretty darts Side seam pockets Super cute, right? Yeah, it definitely especially Something about this version the red version particularly looks like Women's wear men's wear combined. I really like that concept Okay pattern back Shallie rayon cotton blends crepe to sheen silky types and stretch woven Zippers And then we've got the all the sizes so up to four and a half yards for a four yards for b finished garment measurements the bust line goes up to 63 waistline goes up to 55 hip line goes up to 67 but again like We can go lower on this into the low 30s for sure okay Next we have all right now. We've got four Men's wear designs now to be perfectly honest. I don't sew for men I think I know what looks good on a man, and I think I know what fits a man, but I don't know it as well as women's wear so I might be a little bit brief in that area But let's take a look because we don't I mean, I can't think of a single collection That big four is ever done That has four separate menswear patterns, right? and then there are some indie designers who Do a decent job of producing menswear, but So far not in the big four, but anyways, this is a men's knit button up top and pants by julian creates Knit top has button front placket long sleeves with cuff bands And bottom band with button details slim knit pants Oh the pants too. I missed that part. Um half life front with zipper knit pants with the fly front Huh Is that normal? I would think knit pants would be like sweat pants. No front pockets pin tucks Drawstring waist With a zip fly I'm so confused and single welt back pockets Sizing on this is a mens 34 up to 52 I have no idea what that means The back of these pants look incredible Let's get closer up Look how cute this little marble knit with the contrast. Oh, I also like this little kind of vintagey detail with the Oh, I don't know the point. I don't know what to call that. Um, nice little collar very well constructed If I do say so myself now the shoulder on him looks really good to me Um men's wear I think tends to be a little bit longer, right? Heart again looks good. So there is a fly front Oh, and then this is what's called the pin top just one really I thought it was called I thought it was called something else Press something pressed something All right, then you have the pocketing There's the back again the back looks great From what I can see So what I want to know is What do I want to know? I want to know this comes apart, right to unzip The zipper only goes up to here and then there's nothing holding this closed other than The tie there's no like hook and I no button no nothing That seems risky And then back welt pockets on a knit pant excuse me But doesn't this give you like mr. Rogers cardigan vibes? I love it Okay, let's look at the back so I can kind of understand what I'm looking at here Stretch knits only for the cardigan interlock ity bamboo rayon blends Interesting I would have put sweater knits in there like at least a lightweight sweater knit And then the pants double knit ponte and terry Maybe he has on his instagram somewhere like exactly the fabric he used. I don't know Um Okay, hold on we're getting somewhere So the cardigan has seven buttons and then the pants do have a hook closure Okay, so there is a hook and I in there And then also the zipper and the drawstring and the elastic and all the things Okay, so cardigan one and three quarter yards plus your contrast of a of three quarters of a yard Plus some interfacing pants two and three eighths of a yard interfacing for the waistband Measurement at the chest line 38 to 56 literally no reason why a woman couldn't make either one of these Um, it would just be boxy, right? It would just not have any darts or shaping or anything. Just be boxy These pants what I wanted to see about the hip line And the waistline like I would be interested in making these for myself. I think they're really kind of cool um Especially yeah fitting the waist would be super simple because you'd have the elastic plus the drawstring I don't know something so intriguing to me about like a dressy sweatpants All right now look at this guy men's varsity bomber jacket Does it button? It but oh it buttons, but it doesn't have raglan sleeves darn. I'll never find that pattern of my dreams Um in two lengths by sins of many Scorpio Uza what a name Scorpio is The scorpion right? He looks so kind and gentle Lined bomber jackets have contrast sleeves rib knit collar sleeve and waistbands long bomber is button front with arm zipper pocket Arm zipper pocket. Oh like at the top like a bicep And double welt side pockets short bomber is snap front With zipper pockets on arm and front Oh Okay, I think I know what that means Okay, so look how the cool the fabrication is snap front Zipper, but it's like again like a cargo pocket like 3d And look at these cool tags. He puts on All right, then you have the rib knit Leather pleather something and then the white here and it all just Dang scorpio Coming through with the fabrication of it all this looks like a million bucks Here's the long one which if you would tell me Long line knee length bomber jacket. I'd be like, um, that seems weird, but this I I would wear this I need a long knee length bomber jacket like immediately And I do like the little Contrast situation it could go a little bit Team colors a little bit collegiate a little bit nfl Really easily depending on the colors that you pick. So just be super mindful of that Unless that's what you want is something to wear to a Packers game then by all means You know get your team colors But if you're looking for something a little bit less Sport sporting game Swartz game sports bar Um, try and pick some elevated colors like he did Super cool I bet everyone asks him where he got that I would Oh, here's the sleeve pocket too Oh Okay, there's a zipper back here. We're gonna have to look at that a little bit closer Can you see it better here? No, not really maybe the line drawing Wow, I mean It's cool It's very cool. It looks really expensive. I can't really tell how hard it is to make Like I know I've done these before on some kind of coat And it was easier to construct than I thought Um But yeah, it's just really cool I'm jealous. I want one Um, the sizing on this is 34 to 52. I can't remember what julians was But we'll look at this so fabrics corduroy cotton blends microswades stretch wobbins wool blends and sweatshirt fleece ribnets zippers Buttons or snaps Snaps twill tape Yeah, two and a half yards Plus the contrast Times two times three For all the different parts. Yeah, I bet it adds up pretty quickly when I said it looked expensive It probably actually it probably is pretty expensive including your time, you know um Okay, then this is the long jacket, right No, this is the short jacket and then lining did this one have lining? No Oh, yeah, right here lining So jacket B does not have all the contrast. Yes, it does Oh A and B A and B that's confusing That's confusing, but okay. There it is. So Bust slash chestline measurement 41 to 59 Wasteline 40 and a half up to 58 and a half and no hip measurement even though it fully goes over the hips here So Now we have Norris men's moto jacket Well, he is just too cool Asymmetric zip front moto jacket has Front belt set into side seams Front belt set into side seams. Okay snaps on collar. Yes Wait, this is Mimi's jacket The green one with the mini skirt from simplicity's Collection I mean maybe a few other details, but those they look very close to me So which makes me think you could have like matching men and women like couple moto jackets um Asymmetric front zip which hers might not have had that Um plus zipper and gusset sleeve on details But either way she had a moto jacket with the snaps on the collars Very similar in like a green I don't maybe a wool But this one they did out of some kind of Um Pleather I wish it had more of a cuff and not just a hem here It does have the cool back sleeve zipper though And I do like how this mimics this line here. That's fun Thoughtful. I like this little pocket too I might like this better than Mimi's don't tell her I said that But then the back also has like the I don't remember what those things are called arm gussets. Maybe Um, that was on we did a sew along with a jacket that had that I loved that detail The green plaid one that I made Um, and then some kind of see me through here Yeah, make this in red and you are michael jackson for halloween in a second Okay Leather leather like fabrics cotton blends wool blends denim Yep lining fabric fusible interfacing Zipper five six inch zippers One one and a half inch buckle Three eyelets seven wide or five eighths inch wide heavy duty snaps That's a lot Two and a half ish yards plus some lining plus two whole yards of interfacing And then here are your measurements Again, no reason why a woman couldn't make this in addition to a man Or however you identify I should say and then he has a second one Which is this jumpsuit create a comfortable and stylish jumpsuit that features front zipper closure collar with snaps elastic at waist chest elastic at waist Comma chest and back patch pockets and side pockets. Sometimes these things are so hard to read um optional name tag patches Can be added to further personalize your jumpsuit what? What does that even mean? Okay, men Like ladies, I know there are some of you out there who watch these first impression videos with your men with your husband's boyfriend Whoever it is. I need you to call them over and we need to have a talk about whether men Average men are wearing jumpsuits. Are we there yet? because I think it's super super super cool And I think that if I passed a guy in target who was wearing a jumpsuit, I would be like, yes, he is I'm like he's cool like But I can totally see like My friend's dad showing up to like a football party in a jumpsuit and I would be like Well, still he's cool, but also like I don't know. I don't know. I'm feeling conflicted. So ask your men Babe, would you ever wear a jumpsuit like this loose fitting? You know the collar very manly one And leave it in the comments Let's discuss down there. Okay. So little collar with one snap Uh patch pocket Snaps are through here, but maybe a zipper. I don't know then this little elastic casing Side seam pockets, I think Kind of a drop shoulder on this one and then a straight leg Here's the back so a yoke, right that's These two things separate guys wear all the time, but would they be wearing them? attached I kind of don't mind the sloppiness through here I know that you're probably expecting me to pick that apart fitting wise, but I think it adds to like the coolness of it all. I don't know it feels very like I don't know. It's just super cool I could never get Dan into a jumpsuit for the record like ever Oh, but look you can do like if you worked at a gas station or you were like a mechanic That's what I was thinking of when I talked about my friend's dad. I would think oh He must work on cars and he came here right after work So I wonder how this works. Why don't we get this on women's patterns? Now I'm really jealous This one does have a snap. We just couldn't see it. I don't know why But yeah, all the seeming details on this are really cool I think the fabric is gonna be pretty mid-weight woven. Yeah broadcloth canvas chino cotton blends denim stretch woven Just be careful of like, you know prison Looking they can go prison really easily. It can go mechanic unintentionally really easily Gas station attendant, you know all of those kinds of things All right Oh, yeah, so there is a zip front Um two snaps optional patches I gotta figure out more about this optional patch thing because how do you get one that says your name? Oh, I don't get that. Okay Four yards of fabric that's kind of a lot And then very loose fitting like everywhere even with that elastic in the waist I think that's really cool for women's wear too It's like there's elastic in here, but I'm not using it to accentuate anything It's just here, you know I you know, I gotta say this was a lot of fun.
