 Hi, you guys. Welcome back to another edition of New Indie Patterns. This time we are going to be covering all the indie patterns that were released in November. If you're new here, this is kind of a little bit like a first impression video where I look at the patterns like and assess them, you know, for fit and we talk about different fabrics and just kind of give my general opinion about the patterns themselves, except for this time I have seen some of them on social media, so I have had a bit of a sneak peek and maybe have already formed a bit of an opinion. But either way, it's a really fun way to look at patterns with someone and maybe be introduced to some new pattern companies that you hadn't heard of before. So without further ado, let's get into it. The first one is the Made for Mermaids Pepper Puff Sleeve Top. This is a knit top and sweater full of options. Choose from, and here I'll pull up this photo so we can see some of the options. Oh, that's really cute. Look how, okay, choose from gathered puff banded sleeve in short half, long with, okay, short, okay, what am I saying? Gathered puff banded sleeve in short half and long lengths with a short cuff or with a long cuff. Four neckline options, mock, turtleneck, scoop neck, v neck and bow neck. Wow. Five body options. We have a hemmed slim fit in high hip or top length, so like cropped or regular length. Three gathered banded options, high hip with short band, high hip with tall band, or regular length with a tall band. Wow. Okay, this is really one of those patterns that like you'll never need a puffy sleeve top ever. Again, this is like a one and done pattern. Here's like the mock neck, scoop neck, v neck, bow neck, and then we have the different links with the different bands. Wow, really cute. Let's look at some of the, some of the makes. I know that Made for Mermaids is size inclusive. I think they go up to like five or six X. It might be kind of hard. I don't, I really don't like it whenever they do the three. I get why they put three pictures on, but it's really hard to see at the normal, at the normal thing. This is the long sleeve with a long band. The sleeve still does seem a little bit long, like before we get to the banded part. And also now that I'm looking at it, this might be a little bit long too. Maybe she just made it too big. Here's another. That must be the slim fit. Made for Mermaids always provides a ton of photos. So we're just going to go through a few of them to get an idea of it. You know, what's interesting is the puff is kind of disappearing. Like I'm not really seeing a puffy puff puff, you know what I'm saying? Like I thought it was going to be way puffier, but I'm wondering if people are just using like a drapery or fabric. And so it's not standing up to the puff very well, or if the puff is just, you know, a subtle puff, subtle puff. That sounds funny. Like I wonder if you use like sweatshirting or something, if it would come out puffier. Or if it's really just kind of not meant to be that way. It doesn't really look like the line drawings, which is a little bit disappointing if I'm being honest. Plus, I just don't know about a banded, a banded top, especially if you're wearing it over pants, maybe banded but tucked in or the regular link with no band. Yeah, that's a little bit puffier. I think it's for sure going to depend on the type of fabric that you're using. Yeah, that one holds up to it a little bit more. I think you need a midweight or more kind of fabric. Did they talk about what fabrics they recommend? No, unless it's in this long. No, no, it's not. Yeah, so I would suggest if you want the like puff sleeve to really stand out, maybe use a fabric with a little bit less drape. So not all of your sweater knits are going to be created equal for this pattern, depending on how much of the puff you want to see. Okay, next we have Chaka Notch came out with the Aria. This is a bubble shaped woven top with elbow length sleeves and elastic hem casings on the sleeves. Okay, U.A. includes a high back with bias or face neckline option. UB includes a low back with ties and a square back facing. Both use have narrow or cropped ruffle hem option. Okay, so a decent amount of options there. This feels helpful how it's all just kind of like, you know, bulleted out so you can just really quickly read through and see what is included and especially because the this is linked like hyperlink so you can just click on it and it'll take you right to the hashtag. Same thing with the Pinterest page. I kind of love that. More details in the description. Okay, so view a high back with bias view a high back with facings and I'll show you the difference in those if the illustrations aren't really helping then view below back with facings. Here's the body measurements. The full bus A, B cup, C, D cup that's nice goes up to 58 inches. So pretty size inclusive there. That's also nice choosing fabric designed for a light to medium weight woven. A lighter weight fabric will fall closer to the body and a medium weight fabric will maintain more of a bubble structure. Love that they kind of describe it that way. Explain it medium fabric with yada yada yada okay great and the notions why I don't think we need a lot interfacing and then elastic yeah so this could be one of those what's the yardage all views one and a half two yards hmm oh it's not 45 inch yeah okay what's the 54 one and a half yards yeah it must be a pretty roomy sleeve I was thinking it could be a one yard wonder but still one and a half yards it's a pretty big scrap but it could you know you could make it work out of just like a little bit of leftover from something else I know that I have um one and a half yard cuts lying around so here she is that's the zoomies I'm going to get oh the ruffle hem is really cute oh I wish it zoomed in a lot more um so when you have a bias facing versus a faced facing the bias is going to have a narrow like stitching line and almost like a separate piece let me the top and then it's going to be like bias that you will be able to see from the outside mostly unless it's turned under I don't know how it's finished is it single bias tape or double I don't know a facing is sewn to the neckline turned inside completely sometimes it's top stitched sometimes it's not it does look like they are doing a top stitched um facing and also I'm pretty sure wasn't it grown on sleeves let me see hold on yeah so there's not even a sleeve like seam this is very very vegan or friendly it's basically a dolman sleeve with some gathers so you get a lot of practice at elastic casings there's the low back that's cute great cute yeah everybody's kind of looks the same I do like how on this version without the little ruffle you just tuck in your elastic casing and it kind of gives like a bubble hem that's kind of nice I want to see the hashtag let's see if this pops up easily that oh I was gonna say is that it okay here is the instagram this one looks oh I see yeah I mean hmm probably not everybody's style and it obviously really depends on how you style it I think was something really slim fitting what skirt is this this skirt is so cute the Evelyn skirt adorable um you know I think well here's one with like a flowy bottom that's kind of cute too and look she did make it kind of scrappy by putting this um see bits of left over linen scraps she with this color blocking she kind of did her own thing that's really cool oh it's actually lots of linen scraps that's really interesting there's a little one cute all right one more let me find something yeah I think defining the waist is really important whether it's with a slim fitting bottom or a flowy one as long as it has like a defined waist um I think you're good to go but for sure look through like some of these fabrics that they use this is a double gauze that one feels particularly light and breezy and I like how she left the tie off it doesn't look like if you don't have the tie it doesn't look it's going to fall off your shoulders but I could be wrong but it doesn't seem like it yeah really cute really really cute I love that really sweet and simple um what was the price 18 dollars oh it's hard for me to justify something so simple for 18 dollars I can probably just draft this myself um yeah that's a lot I was thinking maybe closer to 12 13 you again they're allowed to ask for whatever they want you know however they justify their pricing but 18 feels like a lot for something so simple okay next up is notches patterns this is their dilla blouse and dress um this one has plant pleated lantern sleeves dress or top choose from different sleeve and neckline options with this set you can make up to 27 different garments I love whenever they figure that number out it's always so exciting like that first pattern probably has like a gajillion okay yeah really straightforward and to the point with their description here I love that it has English French German and Dutch so worldwide worldwide here all right so you want a ton of pictures let's is this going to make it big yes thank you okay I'll accept your cookies yum yum yum I'm just kidding um okay so we have a high neckline we have this little pleated bodice with a little gather underneath I don't I'm going to look at the others but this feels like is it supposed to hit just below the high boss or is it supposed to be empire waist but then this is the real star of the show this pleated lantern sleeve it really is stunning yeah it looks like it's actually this one hits a little bit more at the high bust but it has a square neckline short sleeves super drapey the fabric that they chose okay keyhole neckline to get you in it because it is such a high closed neckline the pleats carry on to the back as well of the bodice oh okay so high neck square neck v-neck long sleeve short sleeve oh boy oh gosh sorry um what did I say long sleeve short sleeve sleeve less and then I'm sure that there are length options as well yeah like this one was midi length like mid ankle I mean mid what's it called shin knee length so cute I love these photos yeah the details of that one are really really fun it kind of reminds me I was gonna say anthropology at first but it's not anthropology it's free people it reminds me a lot of free people and I think that they probably used a linen on the first one and this is some kind of like rayon maybe but I think it could be really great in so many different types of fabrics I don't think they talked about fabrics but um um so many different types of stable fabrics even like I'm thinking like the double gauze and um like light like uh so structured fabrics but lighter weight than this one this one is very crisp and kind of weighted but I can imagine it like a blend between the orange fabric and the blue fabric where it's structured but still a little bit drapey and you can find that within lots of linen categories some cotton categories maybe like a blend like a like a rayon linen would be really cool I don't know but you definitely want something where that sleeve is going to stand out also so you do want it to be so not a rayon linen that's not what I'm thinking I'm just thinking like a lightweight crisp linen or cotton or like even like a of what an eyelet seersucker maybe that could be really cool something along those lines all right this is the copper creek patterns petty pants and this is a little bit confusing now because it's the do-it-better-yourself club but they also have copper creek patterns so I don't know if they I don't know how these are these people are partnering or if there's just one person now I'm not sure but this is their new pants pattern pays tribute to the fabulous fit and fashion of the 70s supportive bottom weight woven fabrics wide leg um a butterfly or zipper fly ankle capri with a raw edge or capri cuffed hem and optional front slant pockets intermediate sewice and beyond okay I have thoughts already just based on these photos um the fit is not great you can see there's a ton of drag lines um and the drag lines point to the problem area that's how you know where it's stemming from so these are all pointed to the outer thigh and you can see here that her side seam is very very crooked so there's just not enough space for horror bum um so not necessarily the patterns fault but if you're gonna put this as your like lead image I kind of think that we should have something where the fit is pretty spectacular so lots of different testers it looks like can I not scroll through these oh I hate that here's the button there's two on the waistband nice big deep waistband I love that and then four going down these are the optional pockets yeah in general it's feeling oh I don't know I'm not seeing a decent fit on anybody yet hands in pocket so it's really hard to tell I also feel like the mid-rise is not really helping um it feels like it's hitting everybody at a really funky funky spot it's affecting some more than others but it says that there's a high rise option oh no it says they're all high rise that's not true that's not her the high rise for her would be way up here it's not that it can't work right you would just have to put in the time to adjust the rise adjust the circumference of the full hip um to make sure that it was going to be suitable for you this is okay so they do have misses sizes and plus sizes um made for someone who's five five which feels kind of on the short side so you would think a high rise for a five five person would be really really high rise so but it puts the full hip at 34 inches up to 67 so very size inclusive I do love that but yeah you'll need anything to do like you're probably the most um when it comes to your pant alterations I have to do them every time so for me it's not like that different but if you're used to just making patterns and going for it um this one might not be it what was the price on that one too I feel like they're usually pretty affordable um okay it's free oh no $11 yeah I love that they're the price points right under 12 bucks that feels really good to me all right this is the fold lines wait okay again it's confusing it's the fold line pattern shop this is the lina lina line patterns arthur bomber jacket is this how you get to lina line no these are just all of the lina line pattern so I think I'm just on the fold line on accident instead of going to lina lines website my bad okay so 12 to 19 pounds um PDF is probably gonna be the $12 option yeah um arthur bomber jacket sewing pattern comfortable practical um beveled patch pockets on the front and flap flap pocket on the sleeve raglan sleeves that widen at the elbows and top stitch seams okay so for those of you that have been around the channel for several years you know that I have been on the hunt for a bomber jacket with a button front and set in sleeves and I promise you that does not exist yet so if anybody out there is designing patterns please please please please combine the button front with the set in sleeve there's plenty of set in sleeves with zipper fronts there's plenty of raglan sleeves with zipper fronts there's button fronts with raglan sleeves but no button front with a set in sleeve that I have been able to find and people have been on the hunt helping me find this for a long time tagging me and I think this would work and to this date we have not found one yet so just a shout out putting in the universe please help me okay so button these are snaps actually same difference but and then the rib knit little neckline there's the raglan sleeve that's the little arm pocket it's like a two-piece pocket too the top stitching really beautiful and then a ribbed weight hem and then a ribbed wrist cute and it's kind of like a little bit of a cropped length as well let's see yeah a fold line would come through with the right little carousel for the photos there's the back very simple yeah it's definitely going to end at your high hip very kind of standard yeah I mean it's as cute as any of the other bomber jackets I've ever seen bomber jackets are adorable this one just happens to have a little bit more flair with this little arm patch pocket you could definitely leave that off um but yeah nice okay this is UK sizes 6 to 16 which puts us bust wise at 31 and some change to 39 that can't be right is that right I'm not even a 39 inch bust what am I missing what am I missing US sizes 2 to 12 is that it seriously wild that's wild six sizes wow okay well I mean it is roomy but still geez okay this is the sewing patterns by I'm gonna say mason that sounds right this is the Amalfi blouse very small font let me read it for you $15 first of all Amalfi blouse is a romantic raglan sleeve top pattern it features voluminous bishop sleeves with a bound sleeve cuff the neckline of the blouse is gathered into a neckband that flows into a cute button placket this pattern is best suited for intermediate sewage for ambitious beginners it is easy to lengthen this pattern into a dress you can even add side seam pockets and little belts are we noticing a theme for november's indy patterns very kind of like frolic in the field you know lots of gathers lots of big puffy sleeves that end in gathers this one does have the button front which is a nice detail raglan sleeve I feel like we saw a couple like this too in the october indy pattern collection let's get to a different version I was noticing how this was kind of shaping her waist and I think that's just kind of by accident I don't think there's actually that much shaping in it yeah it looks like it's just kind of all pulled to the side and back a little bit I think it's meant to be kind of boxy okay here are some I kind of am really loving a full like lousy top tucked in you would need to make it much longer oh she just tucked into a low rise okay I like it tucked into high rise because I'm a high rise girly but the normal length of it being high hip for me I would bend over one time and and it would come out so I would need to make it much longer or you could even attach this is a hack I've been thinking about putting on the channel for a long time you could attach some little like briefs to the bottom and make it a bodysuit because you have all these buttons you just pull it on no big deal everybody seems to have wanted to tuck it in yeah kind of equally as cute untuckless shorts that's adorable so yeah a lot of fun options cute 15 bucks is a little much but not too too bad especially if you do like she said make it into a dress or you know alter it another way like maybe move the buttons band to the back and keep the front solid you could kind of play around a little bit and give yourself more than just one view I think that's kind of the downside and why I wouldn't if I don't think $15 is fair just because there's only one version I would think around $10 for one version would be good but again they're allowed to charge whatever they want I'm just saying like for me in terms of perceived value 15 seems like a little high okay so house seven they came out with these moon booties okay and I don't know I'm kind of on the fence about them I'm kind of like I are they just meant to be around the house because if so that's kind of okay but I definitely don't need these kinds of shoes to just hang around the house so I don't see the point in me making them but it's kind of fun that there's a pattern like this that just exists um so they are the ultimate slippers poppy coats for your feet um slip-on booties are non foot specific oh meaning no left no right I was like that could be interpreted lots of ways um the lining is slightly contoured I don't even know what goes into making booties like this but there's lots of information here foam sole interstellates your feet maybe just because it doesn't get cold enough here for me to need moon booties but yeah let's see who's making them on the internet they're posting about it oh well the quilted versions wow oh I recently google feet always cold and the results suggested oh wow this actually got serious I thought it was gonna say and google said make these moon booties oh gosh okay oh the little rifle paper company ones of course oh and fleece on the inside wow that's intense I want to see them on someone's feet oh thank you so cute oh my gosh look I mean they do look warm and comfortable I gotta give them that here's a little video oh they look more sturdy than I thought oh she's like walking on the moon wow people are so creative I I guess I didn't realize that the foam was going to be so so sturdy what it is so those are fun and this uh this pattern did come out right before the holiday so maybe it was kind of like a little you know nod to holiday gifts too okay this is the June pattern studio sweetheart neckline blouse how fun and sweet is this so we've got I don't think Etsy does descriptions very well if I'm being honest learn more okay so sweetheart neckline gather bust area three-quarter puff sleeves elastic on the cuff high hip no zipper okay seam allowance is included layered blah blah okay happy sewing thank you all right yeah it's really sweet so it's got this like sweetheart neckline with a little gathered thing would you hear and then these cool like almost like shirt elastic sleeve bands and a little gathered shoulder as well there you have it I would like to see it on a human being and not just this mannequin oh there it is okay here's this hold on what's this okay oh oh oh hold on yeah what is this that's a seam hold on let's keep going there's line drawings coming yeah okay so this seam needs to be a little bit lower right this should be for at least for this woman under her bust right not kind of on top of it I think it is meant to be more of an empire waist at least that's what this photo makes it seem but if you get it to fit like the illustration I think it's really really cute and I've been seeing this little elastic application everywhere and ready to wear I don't know how similar it is to shirring maybe I can look at the notions that are required to see and maybe that will help but I've been seeing a lot of that also I want to point out that even on the mannequin that little seam was a little bit too short easily an inch or two longer here would would really help but yeah there we go lots of photos great okay here's the size guide full bust goes from 32 to 42 and a half inches and she's calling 42 and a half inches three XL that seems a little misleading I would think three XL would be in the 50s 50 inches or at least high 40s right yeah okay yeah and I don't think it says long stretch woven this is how much you need other materials one centimeter wide 200 centimeter long elastic it doesn't say the width of elastic so is it elastic thread is it is it like shirring okay yeah see this person here says I had slight issues with the sizing I can see why I think that if you think you're making a three XL and it's going to be like a three XL the stores no it's way smaller than that you really need to take your measurements and compare it against a finished measurement chart if one of those is even available and that probably goes for all of june pattern companies june pattern studios patterns all right the peppermint magazine pattern for november is the bronte bathers peppermint magazine offers free patterns well they used to be free now they're pay what you want in five dollar increments that's kind of a bummer they used to be free slash pay what you want and so you could pay any increment one dollar zero dollars all the way up this one you have to pick either way it is a swimsuit and before you're like well wait it's november that's so weird um this was developed by swim style patterns and I think that they are an australian brand so it's summer for them and it's australia so I think that it was appropriate for them to come out with a swimsuit but photo wise let's take a look maybe yes so we have high waisted bottoms with kind of like a little bit of a cheeky view I like that it doesn't look like diaper like I've seen in the past and then like a straight kind of bandeau style top with tie straps here are all the girlies this one seems to have some kind of detail in the middle maybe right like a little cincher tie or something same here and whereas this one's kind of flat yeah definitely has that little scoop detail on the bottom and the top so does that one really cute cute ties yep I'm surprised this one doesn't have underwire that looks very supportive okay so this one instead of the ties has the adjustable strap oh I don't know why I'm so surprised it only has wait that is a tie okay that's adjustable straps okay and this one has this little twisty thing in the middle cute and the bottoms are the same front front back cool here is the body measurement chart so in inches we go from 32 inches up to 56 in the bus that's great this is an extra small to 9x for the record their 3x is very similar to june pattern company so maybe I'm the one that's just confused about what 3x means or maybe because it's not a us company I don't know if june is or not but their sizing is just different I don't know but cute little bathing suit for sure keep in mind as the weather warms up here in the states all right Ely and Matt count with three patterns I'm going to go through them quickly this is the adult Yvonne spa day robe pattern it's just your quintessential standard robe not anything too too special um line drawing wise can we make this bigger no we cannot yes we can okay all right so we have the banded front patch pockets a little um tie and then in the back it has like a shawl collar so not hooded but it has like a little oh just kidding there's a hood or a shawl collar great and it also looks like two lengths maybe more than that actually mid thigh knee length and then short and then it looks like two different pockets this little kind of rectangular one and this little scoopy one again since this came out in November it would have been ideal for holiday gifts it does look really cozy comfy but yeah just your standard robe pattern and at nine dollars right yeah their price point is always spot on and I know for sure that they are size inclusive I can't remember what size range they have sewing tutorial here we go so bus is 29 inches up to 67 and they're calling that a 7xl 3xl yeah okay this is more what I thought but Ellie and Mack is a us-based company so maybe that's just where I'm getting confused but yeah a 3xl for a high 40s full bust that feels more familiar to me okay this is the naika sweatshirt sweetheart shirt peplum and dress pattern wow whoops a really beautiful sweetheart neckline very fitted this is probably for knits only yeah really really stunning fit I mean look at this on her but it does have the princess seams with the little strap I guess you can do a flutter sleeve you can do a couple different skirts or a peplum top and then we have an even thinner strap yeah so many options Ellie and Mack is really good at providing all the options that was the top here's the dress you know there's something about a knit twirly dress they are just really comfortable I like how this is giving like um kind of like corseted vibes even though it's not corseted I mean look how on every single body type it looks incredible everyone looks like a million bucks the fit looks really good consistently that's hard to pull off and I mean even the execution of the sweetheart I don't know if this is like a self-lined bodice and that's how these lines are able to be so crisp but I mean everybody's looks good and that I mean that is really cream of the crop in terms of any sewing pattern when it literally looks so good on every single person both in fit and also execution of sewing 10 out of 10 this is great so happy got nothing bad to say I want one and again the $9 price point can't beat it for all those options my gosh okay this is the laquisha crop how am I skipping words laquisha cottage crop top peplum and dress pattern so this is oh a crop top with long sleeves okay and it has this like gathered bust situation happening there's the back or you can do a little cap sleeve with a peplum the long cap sleeve with the long skirt with the ruffle that's what she made super cute we're not entirely sure as to how fashion forward this is per se I mean I feel like I was making these in like the 2010s maybe but there's a reason why they were so popular back then they are really flattering especially in a knit fabric oh she did a little sweet belt yeah I bet it's super comfortable I don't know let's bring them back let's bring back the gathered bodice midriff knit dress it's really kind of cute I don't know I can also imagine it you know for my personal style making it a little bit more like 70s vibes with like some kind of vest or like a corset situation happening on top or one of those like um I don't have one of these personally I don't think I could pull it off one of those like see those like leather it almost looks like snm like strappy leather belted thing all these straps you know what I'm talking about I don't know what they're called but here is this is an interesting thought down here I kind of love the idea of having you know contrasting fabrics where the skirt is sheer that's a fun take on it that feels a little bit more modern yes to these queens rocking these crop tops a crop top is one thing but like a fitted midriff crop top that is like a whole other thing but yeah that is really cute it does look very kind of milkmaid um and that is actually very trendy right now the milkmaid situation so cute cute cute again nine dollars same price or same size range as the others all right this is Veronica Tucker's free free free free free no well pattern now it's not got a lot going on okay it's not going to be the most couture thing you've ever made but it is free off the shoulder flowy dress um wear with or make your own belts designed today into a blouse or dress of any length you can also adjust the length of the sleeve and you need some elastic for this um any opaque mid to lightweight fabric heavier fabric wouldn't work due to the design staying up on the body by the elastic around the shoulder so the fabric is heavy it won't be able to stay up the reason I have your weight fabric wouldn't work is due to the design staying up oh if it's too heavy it'll pull this all down that's what she's saying I thought she was meaning this was going to come up on the shoulder but then she was saying down and that got confusing so if it's too heavy it'll just pull pull pull pull and then you'll be naked if you're using a sheer fabric ensure to line the main body piece okay well okay one of these all right are we going to get anything regarding a line drawing no she does have does that mean Australian dollar a dollar sign um gosh yeah I really would like to see a line drawing but I guess it's literally like squares sewn together with an elastic hmm yeah I need to see more no Instagram hmm okay it is free let's remember that and you can maybe depending on your drafting skills you can figure out a way to take this as a blank slate and I don't know figure out some other stuff but I can't even see the bottom of it so I don't even know what the hem looks like it's just like a lot of it's just like a lot of fabric with elastic at the top all right well if you're into that if that's your style here's a free version for you okay this is the matchy matchy sewing club this is their makers over shirt sewing pattern $14 so they're really kind of like pushing the line there with the pricing um in terms of being near or at the average for an indie sewing pattern company um right these days I feel like we're seeing mostly around the 10 to sometimes 20 so that $15 point really does end up being median all right designing a casual minimalistic boxy style button up layer this easy to sew pattern has a wide shoulder line multiple pockets and simple front button placket the shirt hits below the hips making a perfect piece for layering view b is a bonus view offering fun and playful color block okay so it is a button front colorless little top slash coat the stripes do make it really fun what are all of these those are so cute yeah the the sort of visual interest with the fabric really does kind of elevate it a little bit drop shoulder another thing as well she just piled them on I think she's got three of them on that's pretty cool yep that's fun I could also see it in like a corduroy making it a little bit more structured I think a lot of the fabrics that they're using here are like mid-weight linens and cottons and things but I can see it out about like a really structured denim or a linen and again no line drawings oh fabric shown love this that's really cool so cotton twill linen rayon blend linen cotton linen linen linen sizing and fabric oh here's a line drawing so yeah just one length and then view b offers this one additional seam line where you can do the color blocking below it I wish they would have shaded that in so you could it was really clear what the difference was but their um bust sizes go from 31 inches up to 64 so 2xl 2xs up to 6xl all right this is Friday pattern companies Hoganip pullover 16 bucks perfect layer for all your outdoor adventures online pullover jacket that features welt pockets sport collar snap or button half front placket designed for woven or stable knits have a lot of fun with your fabric choice anything quilted fleece linen packing and carrying the polka nip is a breeze with the fun and optional packable pocket what what let's see that okay hold on okay first of all the design is super cute I love how it's high hip length um with this cute little elastic band the kangaroo pocket I love that the half placket is huge that's like two or three inches two inches probably deep I think that that is so flattering how this super big collar and placket frames the face love that and then has a drop shoulder that you can see here now let's see if I can find this packable pocket they speak of that almost looks like a top oh here's the back this must be the pocket I kind of hate that they lined it in white I don't want to see that but that's neither here nor there with this little button it must all go into here somewhere no they're not going to show us the packable pocket I know that that's it and I'm I don't know I'm assuming I don't know how do you get oh you fold this in fold this in and then fold the top and the bottom and then turn it right side out or turn it inside out so cute not hard to execute on literally any jacket that you have it's just a pouch on the back but like duh like why haven't I thought of that before model fit notes oh love that notions elastic snaps or buttons button and scrap fabric okay that is that cool yeah this is this is a good value to me at $16 I don't know why I can't explain it really it just my heart just tells me okay so Sinclair patterns came out with their Selma knit pleated neckline top and tunic oh I see okay round and square neckline options $11 and then this is how their photo thing works but yeah it's actually pretty hard to see but it's kind of cool how these are all like pleats like box plates that open out into this little flowy situation so that is long sleeve elbow length sleeve a little slim on the fit through here which is why you're getting this if the back hem were a little bit wider all of this would flow naturally over her body yeah there's the square neckline it's cute I'm trying to think of ways to style it other than with jeans or I wouldn't put it with the pencil skirt myself but oh and then a nice big um I guess it's a neckband seeing if anybody styled it with anything other than jeans so when that's the case and I'm just feeling like uninspired by the styling then I'll just start picturing it as a dress and then that solves all my problems and I'm like okay great it's a dress now you know what I mean not that there's anything wrong with tops and jeans I just feel I don't know personally to me that's so uninspired um you know I want to do I want to make clothes that make me feel like I'm pushing the boundaries a little bit you know basics with a twist that's just basic okay closet core came out with their Fran pajama pattern and is it me or doesn't closet core uh who has the oh the other super super super popular pajama set I thought it was closet core but maybe it's like green line or somebody else the um I'm getting all the names confused now I want to say jenny that's wrong those are the overalls I want to say Claire that's wrong that's the coat it's the somethings pj somebody's name oh gosh you guys will tell me in the comments but I thought that was closet core maybe I'm wrong maybe it's somebody else but the Fran pajamas okay 16 bucks and I mean don't get me wrong this is pajamas but I could wear this out I would feel no shame in putting on some shoes kind of like she's got and hit the town in my pajamas um Taylor details with the slouchy fits okay they look just as good in bed as they do glammed up and all in the town yeah I'd say so um shirt collar cuff sleeve back yoke inverted back pleat button loop at the neck the pants are a straight leg slightly paper bag elastic waist optional drawstring inseam pockets and back pocket it's available in alphanumeric sizing a new addition to our size range that's fun extra extra small which is a 31 inch bust up to 4x which is a 60 inch bust loves carolin okay so I'm not going crazy I also was thinking of carolin so I guess this is just like a more fitted version maybe and this is their more boxy version I love silhouettes like this where the hem like flares out a little bit I don't know why I just think that's really kind of chic looking and they put her in this like fendi looking fabric love that super chic again yeah you can see how it buttons up here into your little collar okay yeah hmm this is cute and I think that that's kind of an easy collar I'm going to say simple collar let's watch the video oh just kidding I don't know what happened no video it won't let me go forward either backwards yeah nope that's a bummer oh this is the video nothing's happening that's too bad oh my gosh now the whole thing is breaking okay we're just gonna skip all that anyways yeah cute I am kind of a little bit on the fence only because this isn't anything revolutionary in terms of design right they just do such a freaking good job of making it feel new and fresh like we've never seen this before but if you really just look at the line drawings right just look at the line drawings we've seen obviously elastic waisted pants before and this top is you know a boxier oversized boyfriend if you will fit button down so do with that information what you will okay this is sycamore road the juniper wrap top so I just reviewed all the patterns from sycamore road in my last first impression video I looked at all their patterns and you guys would seem to really really like them as well this is their juniper top I'm not going to talk too much about it because I kind of like I said just covered it but it is a really cute wrap front top with this really great sleeve detail I feel like that's what sycamore roads kind of underlying theme was was these like really big interesting sleeves and this is no exception the wrap top does seem to fit beautifully and you know has a really cute sweet little length to it not a ton of options included with this pattern in fact this might be the only one I'm trying to get to the line drawings while also showing you some of I mean it's a really nice pleated sleeve they have going on here um this is the sizing uh that is a 20 30 inch bust up to 57 and a half nope we're back to the beginning right yeah um so no I remember was I talking about line drawings in the other video I'm sure I was um and it's 14 and a half euros so sort of similar to the dollar these days um I did feel like that price was a little bit high for like the simplicity of the design of the patterns but at the same time I felt like the designs were a little bit out of the box and a little bit fresh feeling so I'd pay a little bit more to have a pattern that's not just basic a pattern that I haven't seen before okay it's to stitch has the andy's jacket pattern 14 bucks versatile and stylish high thigh length jacket designed to elevate your outerwear game crafted especially for fleeced backed soft shell fabric so you guys know what she's talking about with that um it's soft shell on the outside soft shell is like north face it's like it's not necessarily water resistant maybe water is it water resistant and not water repellent whatever one where water can get through oh it's a little bit like that right nylony you know and then has fleece on the inside um this one showcases intriguing seam details for subtle shaping and visual interest lined hood unlined body water resistant properties okay and drizzly or rainy weather all right cool cup size options three piece hood unlined bodice sleeves with diagonal seam lines princess seams from the shoulders ample front pockets exposed center front zip high low hem and then the fabric again okay yeah the slim silhouette is really nice you know for this type of jacket typically like when you think of north face something like that the jackets do feel very kind of like boxy so it's nice to see something with a little bit of shape yeah these are the princess seams I also feel like there's a seam here I think mine drawings are coming up here shortly yes oh cool love the continuation of this seam into the sleeve that just feels really smart and then these are the same um style lines that were in the little windbreaker jacket that I did the sew along for this time last year remember that it's like reddish burgundy fabric I used I loved that detail and for mine the pockets were built into this I want to say it was like a simplicity or a new look pattern she went ahead and just did like zip pockets on the outside but because there's a seam here you could definitely do pockets that would be on the inside of the jacket if you didn't want to do these little sippy things refer to that sew along or that pattern if you want to see what I'm talking about but but yeah this is really really cool and then she yeah she has one with the hood on but not with it all the way zipped for me a hooded jacket it has to stay up like I've made hooded jackets in the past that although are very cute like the moment like the slightest breeze catches it it's falling off which defeats the purpose I'm assuming this little like I don't know it's a little more like enclosed on your face um keeps it up more right I just never made one like that before so really nice very good all right so we've got sizes double zero to 40 it says c size chart tab why can't we just make this a hyperlink size chart tab okay all right well it's not that hard to get to so different cop sizes from a to double d and it's not like a slash b sleep c slash d they're all have their individual pieces that's really nice the hip measurement for this is 33 and an eighth up to 62 really decent size range there and then a cup is eliminated from her plus size uh size range but the b cup goes up to 60 yeah and she's really petite so I think she really honors the double zeros you know and and gives its size inclusive on both sides of the size range on the petite side and the plus size which is nice okay this is the handbuck wrap skirt from daily like canada reversible pleated wrap skirt I love that etsy does this it definitely gives you that feeling of FOMO like oh no six people just bought this like it's definitely like cool and popular I must get it right the video is so good oh nice transition yeah really chic right let's see the sizing and like she gives this to me straight up from the beginning like don't fall in love with the pattern yet check this sizing first all right so it is a wrap skirt right so the sizing at the waist is a little bit there's some wiggle room there in terms of how tight you tie it but the sizing chart is 24 that's what that says 24 inch waist up to a 47 inch waist at the 3xl that's really kind of incredible um yeah that's pretty good I'm surprised by that to be honest now it does require three to four yards of fabric so she is a hog she's a fabric hog but I don't know it's really kind of super pretty so might be worth it I love it with this little batwing lightweight sweater imagine it too with like maybe like the first pattern that had that band right the puff sleeve that had the band where you could tuck your band in or you could even put it on top but this is this is a band and the top would have a band so they'd kind of like blend in together a little bit that could be a really fun styling I like the line drawing has like a little bit of movement to it but yeah just tons of pleats and like your traditional wrap skirt again not revolutionary in terms of design people have been making wrap skirts forever and ever pleated skirts forever and ever but I don't know it just feels like the execution of hers especially this photo um is just super inspiring it looks very clean right there's I mean everything it feels very couture the way that it's sewn so that would give me inspiration and motivation to pay the 11 dollars for it just to see the clean finish now in my mind I'm thinking I know how this is done but um but just to be sure I guess I'm I feel like I would learn something from this pattern based on how it's been executed and I don't know it just feels really chic even though it's kind of basic I like the length of it I don't know yeah I'm kind of like fangirling over this even though it's like the most simple thing that there is okay so Madswick patterns came out with the raida blouse 20 dollars okay raida blouse is a circular yoke with a billowy blouse oh my gosh of course I love it the sleeves are designed to hit above the elbow or wrist and feature three pin tucks right here oh my gosh they work out and gathers into the binding sleeve hem three view options and instructions with two different hem lengths 24 blouses possible with the pattern pieces and instructions provided intermediates includes I love when they do this sewing techniques such as gathering pleat binding buttons buttonholes attaching a collar stitching in the ditch and verb you see ruching I love that they do this because intermediate is such a relative term like what's intermediate to me may not be intermediate to you so you can look through this list of techniques and say yeah I know how to do this and this and this oh I've ever done buttons or buttonholes before so do I feel confident in trying to take that on with this pattern you can assess through yourself based on what you know you're capable of if this is going to be a pattern that you can execute here we go not the ruching that's the view see with the ruching I love this $20 are you kidding me wow super super cute I love the yoke with the gather I love that there's that this plus this pin tuck sleeve plus possibly doing the the ruching oh they're not gonna let me make this big huh oh come on for $20 let me look at it close up I can't read this it's way too small yeah I'm like tap the photo it goes backwards so from what I can tell view e I'm sorry view a is the the roughly yoke pin tucks button front like bias found collar maybe a bit of a Mandarin collar view b is the same without the buttons in the front and so it has a keyhole in the back and then if you see has the ruching that we saw then there's the long sleeve version okay so that's what gives this 24 different options but consider all the different lengths of this you can make consider adding a ruffled skirt that's when you're $20 really becomes like this is such girl math girl math and sewing math combined when you can add because it's such a like from from the bus down is such a blank slate that you could add all these details so the pattern basically becomes free is what I'm trying to tell myself oh gosh okay sizing um this pattern is drafted between a b and c cup five six height generous ease but where's the size chart oh here we go view a oh oh they're going to go through all of them okay here's the body measurement high bust 30 inches to 54 right am I getting that right yeah yeah size range one through 13 gosh it's cute there's view a again except this time this the ruffle has this added a little trim to it again like to me in my in my justifying mind that looks a lot different than the denim version other than the chambray version here's view b without the buttons if you see it's just something else I love it it's a combination of this thing plus this fabric that they chose for it perfect literal perfection I want that I want that I want that so bad okay all right really cool good job mad what Matt what's it called Madswick it's a new pattern company to me um I'll review them for a first impression Friday here shortly if they have I like for the pattern companies to have at least five patterns first mostly so I have enough to talk about for a whole video but also just to get a good understanding of what what they're all about okay this is genuinely ends new maple square neck knit dress square neck kind of columny knit dress 12 dollars um cuba functional I love that this is first person I think that for whatever reason business owners are afraid to talk about their products in first person but to me it says I made this I designed this I'm selling this like this is me one person behind all of this like this really feels like a small business but she says she wanted to make it bra friendly so um flow around my body without feeling too clingy so there's a little bit of ease around the waist and hips um some might even call maple secret PJs or like that's how I feel feel like I have my wardrobe and this dress does that for me super easy to throw in one with steel feeling put together easily hackable into a top there are two sleeve options straight fitted sleeve and a subtle bell um 15 sizes diagrams quick and easy so okay well let's take a look genuinely m square neck line there's a bra in there she said here's the ease that she's kind of speaking of for the waist and the hip yeah it doesn't look like much on the line drawing um but looks really I guess what I'm trying to say is like in the line drawing it feels kind of frumpy looking but whenever you get to the on her body the way that it's like contouring and skimming the body it's actually quite a little bit sexy I do like how from the full hip down it's not clinging on her back thigh you know kind of just floats away from like a bit of an a-line I guess from there which feels nice oh okay there's the top with the bell sleeve super cute size chart is a bust of 32 to 53 and hips is 35 to 56 so pretty decent job there I love the bell sleeve do you see what I mean about the fit of it it is definitely just like a column style knit dress but it doesn't feel like she said it doesn't feel clingy at all it feels really comfortable yeah super cute with the sneakers illustrations great yep mm-hmm yeah for sure I was already gonna say that you could put a belt with it and that would kind of elevate it or like a vest or one of those it's called a harness that little leathery thing I was trying to explain earlier um a harness with it that would really elevate it as well yeah great and $12 yeah does she talk about fabrics I think a midweight fabric would definitely be best midweight knit but I wondered if she discussed that at all I don't see that so yeah for sure for the dress I think you would want something mid to heavyweight in the knit category because it's not I mean because there is positive ease at least in the waist and hip what was it what was the ease in the bust do we get finished measurements no um so I don't know what the ease is in the bust but I know that there's positive ease in the waist and the hip which means that your your knit fabric does not have to be super stretchy you don't have to have 100% stretch not even 50 you could probably get away with 25% again depending on the ease in the bust all right and this is our last one this is the Mary the dressmaker luna dress pattern this is it here okay great okay hold on one second I wanted to see oh that's really cute a line drawing first because the website's a little bit there's a lot of words happening here key features balloon sleeves with an explanation and then so I'm just going to read the key parts of all of this minus the explanation so balloon sleeves fitted silhouette ruffle details instructions and versatile style and then youtube um summer long after okay I said ships that the digital download will be shipped to you through email okay I get what you're saying okay so from what I can tell without there being a line drawing it looks like there's a yoke with a sweetheart neckline a waist seam center front seam all the way down and then this little ruffle detail with a sleeve with a ruffled hem or a ruffled like wrist I think that the color way of this little sample that she made it's definitely plus where's the back she never shows the back of it so hmm I have questions I think it's really cute and I'm very much intrigued but I need more so I was looking for a Instagram or something again I have to do some research to find some more photos but 1164 that's not that bad and then I don't know what these centimeters turned to in inches so I can't really speak on the measurements but knowing it's a US size 0 to 18 I'm guessing 18 probably in somewhere in the 40 inch range for the full list for the bust but the hips on this one are also well all of them are it's fitted throughout so the bust waist and hip are pretty fitted but I do think it has a lot of potential I love the mini I love this little ruffle thing that's happening I just want more information on the website all right so that is going to do it for November's new indies we have a lot of fun new patterns I do think that there's a theme right with the like statement sleeve and the ruffles and the you know all that that's happening but also some really good staples that can become part of your wardrobe that you reach for again and again and again let me know what you guys thought of these patterns leave leave your thoughts in the comment section below and that's going to do it for me I will see you all very soon okay bye
