 How you guys welcome back to another first impression video this one I know we've been kind of rolling into winter but this is a fall collection brand new from new look if you are new here this is your first time watching a first impression video welcome I am going to take a look at every single sewing pattern that is a part of this new collection and we're going to kind of just kind of chat about it see what we like about it we're going to review it for just kind of the overall design I'll look at some fit issues that I notice we'll talk about fabrics that you can use and any kind of inspiration that comes to mind as we go so without further ado let's take a look it said fall but we're starting out with a coat so maybe this is like more of a fall winter transition it's just an early winter like they like to call it okay this is a very loose fitting unlined coat with a shawl collar and patch pockets view a has flexible trim and button-down closure view b has snap closure and also the thing with quick sew I'm sorry quick so new look is that the sizing is probably the most limiting of all the big five even more so than vogue to date this might we might learn something new here together but um yeah the sizing for new look is usually not great this is an extra small to an extra large that's it so we'll look at the chart at the back of the envelope but let's take a look at the design details first okay so really simple kind of um what's it called extended shoulder drop shoulder this really wide shawl collar we've got just a regular plain sleeve this looks like hidden buttons to me I can't see any buttons there and then patch pockets I like the hidden buttons and then this goes to about knee length on her on the model presuming she's like you know five ten or so that was the one with the purchased trim almost like bias binding there she is again there's the back yep if there is a center vaccine hard to see they did a great job with the plaid matching yeah no center vaccine so that makes it I mean this is about as easy as it gets for for a coat um like I said extra small to extra large that puts um the bust up to 44 and the hip up to 46 so I am like a 14 and ready to wear and I can barely wear this like I barely fit into this um so yeah just mind blowing to me but I've gone on the soapbox about it there's not much more we can say I know the big five knows what they need to be doing why they haven't adjusted for a new look yet I have no idea um only time will tell but here are our finished garment measurements but we only have the width so that's really not super helpful I mean I guess the the width of the lower edge is close to a hip measurement 59 and a half 61 and a half so um roughly what would that be 13 inches of ease in the hip at the hemline for the shorter one so somewhere around there it is pretty roomy so even if you're technically would be a 2xl you could probably still get away with making this um yardage here's fabric all right tweed woolens bucle and fleece yeah kind of like your outerwear fabric it does have lining is it fully lined no only a little bit so probably just yeah just the pockets so then that means you're probably going to want to be doing some kind of finishing for the raw edges on the inside like a Hong Kong finish let's see four buttons flexible trim and then snaps yeah so they don't even talk about that so so yeah consider how you're going to finish the raw edges of the inside of your coat because they will be visible since this is a completely unlined coat or you can figure out how to line it that works too okay next we have this little cape coat situation um again oh so this one is small to 2xl so one size bigger but also that's soup the smallest size is removed so there's still only five sizes here but a little bit larger so samy that an unlined cape has convertible collar lower side front seams with pockets and stitched hems this is kind of cool i think that i have kind of overlooked capes for the weather here when i really probably could be using them a lot more than i realized because it's very rare that it's cold enough to have to wear a full on winter coat here maybe let's call it a month out of the year that's not enough for me to spend all this time making a little coat but this little cape one that could be really cute so we've got this like stand collar thing a bunch of buttons there's like this interesting seam with the pleats and then this is where your arms come out i also think there's pockets and there is still a seam here do you see that seam i think that's still a seam which i guess you could also probably leave that out i don't know this is this is kind of piquing my interest can't say i love the camel print but i can also see it in like a really thick sweater knit like a big bouquet sweater knit of some kind here is the back that almost just looks like a fleece that would be comfy you know what else would be super cute out of this is like a quilt a quilt cape amazing all right so this one the bust goes to 48 and the hip goes to 50 and the finished hem width i guess is yeah 84 86 so very very roomy so maybe there isn't that seam there like i thought i'll look at the line drawing this here in a second um but about three yards of fabric a ton of interfacing just the 20 inch interfacing though so i'm wondering what exactly is interface and then tweed double sided fleece denim but yeah like i said i can see it in like a thick double knit or really thick sweater um knit um did they say bouquet no i can see it in bouquet similar to tweed um yeah i could i i'm picturing something like really warm and cozy even sweatshirt place would be kind of cool yeah i guess i was assuming this is a side scene but it's it's not because it would have to be here too so construction's a little bit i guess i'll say not obvious which i kind of like i kind of like going into a pattern after sewing all these years going to a pattern that i'm kind of like how do they do that how does that come together this is this is going to be on my list um new look is always four dollars at joe in so you don't have to wait for a sale which i also really like about them okay here's a jackets and pant set online jacket and pull on pants all right a little bit basic all right this is the alphanumeric sizing so 10 to 22 is the size range so we're actually getting seven sizes here okay just gonna keep that in mind we'll see what that means when we get to the end uh oh yeah it really is about as basic as it gets um it is an open front basically a cardigan no buttons no closures you do have this little cuff and then like a front band and then yeah pull on pants there is a flat panel here but elastic starts at the sides and wraps around and then they are cuffing these that's it one photo oh two photos okay cool thank you for that here's the back so back again is um cut on the fold no center vaccine yeah i wish we're going to see more of the pants but you know it is what it is so a 10 to 22 that means in the i mean the bust is 32 and a half to 44 and then 34 and a half to 46 so that feels a lot like the extra small to extra large right the coat is or the jacket i guess they're calling it it's pretty roomy the pants we're not going to get any oh yeah we do be finished hip is 50 and a half so um four and a half inches of ease in the hip of these pants and then elastic in the waist which is really what pulls it up gosh i wish we could see more pictures of it those pants could be great um it's just really hard to tell okay here is um pants in mrs and mrs petite so same size we just before mrs petite only means that on the pattern pieces there are lines for where you can shorten so petite refers to length versus sizing which is like mrs is circumference women's is circumference petite i guess regular and tall would be kind of how you look at where petite falls in so if you're short waisted if you have a short rise if you have short legs um this would be helpful but those are all adjustments i feel like we pretty much get to know get pretty familiar with pretty quickly within sewing so this is just helpful because it will have a line here um and then maybe two more in the thigh and then in below the knee i'm not sure though semi-fitted pants and two lengths have fly front zipper button waistband and flared legs vb has side seam pockets okay yeah site wow the construction here or at least what it looks like this photo is not great hands and pockets so it's really hard to tell how it fits it's also below the waistline so this is like a mid-rise i guess um i do like the big buttons i like these big welt pockets or whatever those are the shape of the leg is okay let's see if we get some pictures without hands and pockets please please okay i'll take this the back looks good the back looks actually really good um there's not a single drag line to be seen i love that so yeah just your kind of classic trouser i guess here's her pocket you can see they're not pulling away from her then again she's not super curvy but but yeah that's okay i think the back wow i'm kind of impressed that looks really good all right so same size right just before and no finished garment measurements so fabric suggestions are gabardine crepe and denim yeah or any kind of bottom weight i think again they're trying to appeal to like a a more fall type of fabrication here but you could definitely make this out of suiting or wool or anything else just anything that's really drapey just know that that wide leg is going to kind of fall in on your body a little bit more and then lining fabric interfacing lining is just half a yard okay so it must just be the pockets so an unlined pant so that winter white is going to be really hard to pull off um without it being see-through but when you go to buy your lining fabric and you are using like a winter white then your lining fabric shouldn't be white it should actually be the color of your skin that's what's going to prevent you from being able to see your pocket bags why ready to wear cannot get that together i have no idea but i i give up on white pants and ready to wear a long time ago but yeah okay all right they're all right not my favorite maybe it's the styling that's a little bit off um yeah something about how wide they are versus them being low mid-rise is feeling like squat and if it's squat on her i can't even imagine what it would look like on me but you could always increase the rise and do a little high-waisted one it was just elongates everything like there's a reason i mean i know a lot of us are not you know super keen on high-waisted but there's a reason why it looks so good on so many people okay pullover dress is close fitting through the bust with princess seam scoop neckline finished with purchased bias tape okay uh and narrow hem view a has short sleeves view beat has long sleeves shaped hemline longer okay it's high low hem um 10 to 22 okay so this isn't for knits but we're doing purchase bias trim all right it is a pull on dress so they're not expecting for the neckline to stretch out or needing it to stretch out to get it over your head so purchase bias tape is fine and then you do have these really pretty princess seams that kind of fit to the body here and then open up for the skirt it's really cute and dresses like this do make for a really good like base layer like imagine adding like a vest to this or adding like i don't know like a big fun belt or a jacket or if you want to go really crazy like a harness and you could get really really fashion-y if you wanted to but um and then this one here would look great over these boots with the high low just remember you're gonna be able to see the inside of your the wrong side of your fabric if you do that longer one but yeah simple basic but there's a need for something like this in in our wardrobes i think oh fish eye darts in the back or no the princess seams in the back okay yeah i think this one would look really good on a lot of different body types um because of all this shaping that you have you can really get a good fit if you have a teeny waist you can cinch it in pull in that waist no matter what's happening on your bust and what's happening at your hip you can define that waist which is really nice but if you have like an apple shape and you know your waist is bigger you can let that out hmm i like this one too um okay so no finished garment measurements again so moderate stretch knit such as jersey lightweight sweater knits interlock yeah there's going to be some kind of stretch gauge i'm imagining somewhere around 25 to 50 stretch that she had on her rib knit which is probably 100 stretch but if it's a pull-on dress though and it fits over like the neckline is wide enough to fit over your head depending on the ease if it's negative ease yeah you'll need a little bit more stretch but i'm imagining we're somewhere closer to zero inches of ease and maybe positive ease in the waist and definitely in the hip so stretch isn't really like you can probably even make this out of a ponty and ponty isn't stretchy at all um so yeah look at that stretch gauge but also consider you know the ease and how you want it to fit cute though i do really like this one i like having like a clean slate to base some of my other funkier outerwear or whatever on okay here is another mrs dress loose fitting pullover dresses have length and sleeve variations view a dress has ruffle view b dress has front slit sizing is of one size smaller than what we've been seeing so 8 to 18 okay we do have this deep v an empire seam center front seam that comes down neither opens in the front or has this ruffle on the bottom and then you can also add this sleeve so it does look like the shoulder is a bit of a wide like a drop shoulder for the sleeveless version and then we add the sleeve on yeah i'm i'm my what i'm trying to reconcile in my mind is if it's not that the sleeve doesn't fit i just think it would look better if they offered the sleeveless the sleeveless version as it is and then offered a second pattern piece for the sleeved bodice where it cut up the the like shortened the shoulder length a little bit you could obviously do this on your own but then you kind of but have to worry about is the sleeve going to fit into that now it's a little bit more complicated than it seems but but yeah this feels like a pretty big arm sigh yeah i would be worried about this this is give this is sending off alarm bells in my mind and i don't know why she's wearing sandals in the fall this feels like this was like leftover from spring but it is a really pretty pretty silhouette i like the two little bust arts here i do like the front slit oh here's the back that's not what i was expecting at all so it's actually pretty oversized and then you're using this little back belt thing to cinch it in see how the shoulder is sitting up on her shoulder here that's kind of more what i was imagining but over here it's not as bad as i thought i don't know i don't know i'd have to look at it it's all kind of just very voluminous so it's really hard to see plus with this busy print um but i mean yeah dresses like this are very comfortable oh there's also shoulder darts in the back that's a really great detail wow this one's like pretty and it's simple it's probably really easy to sew something about these new look patterns i don't know i do love new look a lot okay so finished garment measurements of the bust go from 39 to 47 and a half inches that means seven and a half inches of ease at your bust yeah all from the back so because the back like up here it's fitted right but all of that ease is right in here across your back so depending on your cup size you could probably you know fudge the sizing a little bit on this one too and even if you are technically a size 20 or even 22 you just don't need that much ease in the back i bet a lot of people are going to want to chop this down the middle and remove a whole bunch of that it's a lot that's a lot fabrics are border prints border prints for a that's interesting because there's the skirt here the little ruffle here so where is the border going up top i don't know that's odd and then b is crate linen blends and round chalet doesn't this feel like spring i could also see it for what it's worth in like a jersey knit yeah it's cute but i i am a little bit i'm afraid that we would go into it being like oh it's so easy look it's just like three four pattern pieces no big deal and then we're like knee deep and fitting issues but i hope to be proved wrong on that okay here's a mrs knit top and pants extra small to 2xl long sleeve top has princess seams lapped collar and low front pocket pull-on pants have elasticized waist and seem mean details okay it's like a little athleisure set so you have okay this looks like it's going to be taller than that but it's not or maybe this fabric is just a little bit more slouchy this little like crossover neckline thing that's cool with these little seams nice for a little bit of shape you have a kangaroo pocket and then it it um goes down to just below high hip length so it is pretty long and then you have these great looking pull-on pants with this nice wide waistband this beautiful front vertical seam and these little slash pockets you can do a lot of cute stuff with this um seam down here like adding little zippers and stuff you can see the back okay we're not gonna see the pants very well but the top looks good enough they really did elevate this right this looks like like very nice but it's just knit wear and you do have the seaming in the back as well so that's great for being able to fit if you've got like a full bum or thin back thighs or wide calves or whatever it is you can make those adjustments as you go down okay no finished garment measurements again so and then moderate stretch knit 35% on the cross-brain such as jersey interlock ponty french terry and sweatshirt fleece yeah you don't need a ton of stretch but this in a ponty would be great this in like a yeah you could make like a really sharp looking pair of pants out of ponty knit for sure and then for a you do need some seam binding and some elastic one inch wide elastic wonder where that's going i don't see one inch elastic anywhere hmm yeah hard to say but a nice little elevated set there this is what we're probably more used to when i'm about to look at and this is feels just feels a little bit more rich a little bit more expensive a little bit more polished this is the athlete shirt that i think we're kind of used to here unisex sweatshirt has dropped shoulder long sleeves contrast for color blocking cuffed jogger pants have and elastic waistband side pockets and banded hems you know where that elastic is and those other pants it's in the waistband i wasn't thinking the waistband of the pant probably just to give you a little bit of negative ease there to keep them up okay so the theory here is that you just you know sew these little these little chunks of fabric together and create a color block seam aren't easy enough but you could also do this out of any pattern that you already have and then drop shoulder with the sleeve a little collar or a band and then sweatpants that's what that is they said cuffed but they're really well i guess it is a cuff technically sometimes cuffed means you know rolled up but this i guess in knitwear it's different yeah it truly is just like a sweat suit much bigger on her also very long on her so keep that in mind you want to make length adjustments um small to 2x is the size range we do have the hip of the sweat pant finished at 58 inches so that gives us about five inches of ease five to seven inches of ease moderate stretch knits 35 cross grains such as fleece french terry ninky fleece and sweatshirt fleece but i'll make sense and then you just need your elastic for the waistband easy enough very straightforward i think so far all of these have been easy marked as easy right easy easy easy easy yeah all right then there are our kids which we're going to skip over have i done this yes all right that was the maybe their fall or summer collection wow so that's really it this was a really quick one but you know what like i don't know there might be a couple that i'm gonna pick up here i am very intrigued by this i do think i would wear it a lot if i picked a fabric that was easy to match with lots of stuff i can see myself throwing that on i wonder what their range of motion is like in the arm like raising your arm but anyways i do really like this one love the little dress um this one i want to like but i again i'm nervous so yeah really quick but let me know what you guys think of the new new looks um are you gonna be grabbing any of them the next time you go to joanne are you going to be grabbing any of them from the sale i mean it technically is a dollar off i don't know how that offsets shipping but whatever um let me know what you think not not bad certainly not the best we've ever seen but definitely not the worst and these days when we've had so two bad winter collections in a row i'll take it i'll take it um but that's gonna do it for me today y'all thanks so much for watching and i'll see you all very soon bye
