 Well, well, well, what do we have here? A new Butterick release? I was really starting to wonder if Butterick was going to be around anymore. They hadn't released a new collection since the fall of 2021. So it would have been about six months. And they just skipped winter, they skipped holiday. So I was, I was nervous, but then all of a sudden here we are. So I am so excited. I love Butterick patterns. Definitely have my fair share in my stash. So I'm excited to see what we've got after the little hiatus that we went on. If you are new here, I'm Lindsay. I make all my own clothes and talk about it on this channel. These first impression Friday videos are a fan favorite. I'm so glad you found them. We're going to review every single pattern in this Butterick collection. Be sure to check the playlist if you want to see past collections that I have reviewed. Okay. So first things first, we have this Mrs. Jacket, Dress, Top, Pants and Sash. This is one of my favorite things about Butterick is they do these like wardrobe collections where you get so many patterns in one. And when they go on sale, Butterick will go down to 199, 299 at Joanne. I mean, it's pennies for each of these patterns. Now, I also want to say before we get too far into this, Butterick does tend to style for a more mature style. That's a little more conservative, a little bit more buttoned up, you know, longer, neat, longer hem links, you know, not a lot of cleavage, covering the arms, all that kind of stuff. The styling is also probably going to be mostly on an older looking woman. I don't know how old she is, but you know, a more mature woman, same thing with the accessories. Nothing too flashy, nothing crazy. So keep that in mind as we're looking because that can sometimes sway you into thinking that you don't like something. When we get to the line drawings, really try and just analyze based on the line drawing and none of this styling and fabrication and all of that. Okay. So this is a lined open front short jacket with contrast binding trim sleeveless square neck top and dress have back zipper and sash wide leg pants have a side zipper. I love a side zipper moment. Okay, so for this, let's take a look at the jacket. Pretty simple, straightforward. Is that princess seeming? I can't tell. Maybe not. Really nice little fitting sleeve here. I love like where it attaches at the shoulder, high neck, no collar, no closures on this jacket. I think this yellow fabric might be some kind of jacquard. Then we have the cutie little dress. Okay, we do have a dart here and the square neckline is really nice. I love this bodice and then all of them seem to have this light contrast band on the bottom. There's the top and the pants. The illustrations do look updated, right? Okay, so here she is and again they made this in a jacquard. So a jacquard is a little bit more of a stiffer, less drapey heavyweight fabric, but you can see for the top it's blousey and even for this it looks a little bit drapeier. So I'm interested to see what they recommend for fabric. The sash is not necessary. It's not really cinching anything in on this. Yeah, and I guess I like the band well enough. I don't know. So it seems a little out of place without the jacket, right? The jacket with the piping kind of tied it all in. This feels a little bit like she ran out of fabric. Lots of pictures. Love that. Here we are from the back view, center back zip. This feels... I mean, I don't know about that, I don't know about that, guys. That's... You can't really bend over. Huh, that's a choice. I don't know why it's like not come together. Like why is it's like a pie piece? I don't like that. That does not look great. Okay, and then this is what the pattern envelope cover will look like. Here are our line drawings. So this is the part that I like to pay the most attention to. The other things are great to assess kind of how the drafting fits, which I think is actually really good. But here are the line drawings. We have, like I said, the jacket with the little dart. The dress has a lot of darting, which I really love. We've got a bust dart here. We've got fisheye darts in the front and the back. That is why this was able to be fitted so beautifully to her body. Where was the one of just her in the dress with no sash? No such thing? Okay. But so that's why it fits her so well. They were really able to take it in using those darts all the way around to highlight all the best parts. Like I said, the square neckline I really love. And then here's the top. There's your sash. This doesn't look anything like what it looked like on her. I don't know what happened. If they had to make an alteration last minute, I'm not sure. But this feels like a very, very not professional way to do a slit. I'd be finding another pattern piece and trying to do more of a vent. Yeah. This works great for like a front thigh slit or something, but going up into your crotchal area, no thank you. And then for the pants, we have just a couple of darts in the front and a couple in the back, not my fave. They didn't really show the pants on, did they know? All we have is the illustration of that. So hard to say how those would fit, but they are pretty basic. I'm just happy they don't have an elastic waist. There we went through several moments, several seasons of a ton of elastic waist pants. And it seems like we have moved on from that, which is good. But as a curvy, pear-shaped girl, I can't, I have no confidence that these would fit me right out of the gate. Okay, let's take a look at the pattern back. Cotton Blends, Ponte, Gabbardine, Crate, Tweed, and Linen. So they are recommending more kind of like stable, not so much drapey fabrics, but I definitely think that the top you could make out of just about anything. There's no reason you couldn't make that out of a shawly or something really lightweight. The jacket probably needs to be a little structured, the dress probably needs to be a little structured as well. But the top I think is a little bit, there's a little bit of wiggle room there. Your notions are biased hate, that's for that accent around the jacket, invisible zipper for the dress, and the top, and the pants, and then twill tape also for the pants. So that's probably what is creating your waistband. Two sizes of this pattern, eight to 16, and then 16 to 24. I do love when you have an overlapping size. So if you're in between sizes, you could grab both of them, both pattern sizes, and then let's say you need the waist to be a 14, and you need the hip to be an 18, that's a bad example, but you know what I mean. You could lay this pattern over this pattern, line up the number 16s, and that's how you would be able to grade between them. So that's why I like whenever we have an, oh, that was fun, an overlapping size. What does that translate to though? We have bust line, waistline, and hip line finished measurements. Thank you so much. So bust line goes from the jackets much more loose fitting, about three inches more ease in the jacket. The dress is close fitting, so this is a better representation of the actual, like, who this will fit. The bust goes from 35 and a half to 50 inches. The waist line of the dress 27 and a half up to 42. And the hip of the pant 37 and a half up to 52. So that's a decent size range, of course, not the most inclusive, I understand, but better than what we do see in some big four patterns. So happy er about that. And then our fabric requirements are here. Yeah, not a ton of fabric too. This little top could be a one year wonder if you, well, that doesn't make a whole lot of sense, though, why are the smaller sizes one and five eighths and the larger size is one and a quarter. I think this got flipped around. And the one and a quarter supposed to be over here. So then about one and a half for the larger sizes that makes more sense. Okay. There you go butter six eight eight two. Next up this little like I don't know I'm getting like sailor vibes. High waist princess seam dress has a line shaped sleeve variations decorative buttons and back invisible zip views a and b have a collar separate pattern pieces are included for your bust cups. Okay, so remember the buttons are not functional. These are just decorative. So if you're not feeling like you want buttons right at your bust apex, I feel you I don't really want buttons there either especially not these gigantic shank buttons. So let's try and look at this without those because they're pointless. Other than decoration and I can say they're doing a lot in the decorative, you know, they're they're not great decoration on top of that. But the high waistedness of it all is nice. There's a high waist seam here. Then you have these little flaps that I think are not actual pockets. I think again this is decoration to just adorn this. Here it is without any of that. I mean they did they did leave the buttons on but you can see the princess seeming is actually really nice if you took off the buttons and took off the flaps and just looked at this for what it is seem wise. I think it's actually really great. I love a little collar. I love a princess seam into the shoulder we don't see that a lot. A lot of times they'll go into the arm side right here. So I love a shoulder moment and then you have your like paneled skirt. Also because it's high waist it's going to give you like legs for days which is really nice. Here it is in just a different fabrication. There is the back. They didn't add anything to the back which is nice and then we have the three sleeves that they mentioned. So we've got the I don't know I guess short sleeve, three-quarter sleeve and sleeve list. One thing I do want to point out now that I'm looking at the sleeve we'll come back to the line drawing. This picture isn't showing it really well. Neither is this one but this one does. So you can see here that we've got like a sleeve cap that's coming up and over her shoulder and then all of this is pulling away from her body instead of following the natural curve of her body it's creating like you know this little gap which to me means this is not big enough. The sleeve cap is not big enough to go up and hold over her shoulder. Now maybe she has like really nicely formed biceps or whatever I don't know is that a bicep right up there on your shoulder or the pattern most likely is just not drafted well enough. So you'd have to add a little bit of ease in to the sleeve cap there. Other than that though the fit looks pretty good. Maybe a little bit low on the arm side which is what's creating kind of some of this pulling but very minimal, very very minimal. Okay so back to the line drawings where were they? Oh too fast. So again not my favorite with the buttons and the flaps but when you take all that away I think it's a really cute basic little dress that you could use to highlight some beautiful fabrics. You could do a lot of fun things with stripes so try and think of it that way. This one here also has a slit in the sleeve which I missed the first time but I love a princess scene moment. I love all that you can I mean I bet the fabric requirements on this are not that much because there are so many seams. Crepe, poplin, ponte, linen and lightweight wool. All of that makes perfect sense. I think you could probably even go into yeah I mean it is a line so you want it to be a little bit structured so yeah all those mid-weight wovens are probably best. And zipper, a six buttons, bias tape, maybe for the neckline I'm guessing and then buttons for B, 10 buttons for B, why was that? Oh it buttons down further you know that actually might help right doesn't that look more intentional than just boob buttons? Yeah I don't know I'm iffy on the buttons it kind of looks like a coat which is kind of cool coat dress and then buttons buttons buttons okay now we have the two size ridges here six to 14 and 14 to 22 so we do have the overlap again but we're missing a size we've got an extra small size but not another large size does that make sense they opted for the more petite sizes than the full plus size sizes. Fabric requirements like I said two yards across the board for the sleeveless dress and then you add sleeves and it's really only a little bit more because you have so many small pattern pieces I love that I love a dress out of two yards of fabric I think that that's that's a great economical dress that you make yourself. Here are our bust cups so remember that is the other nice part about this is that you have the other bust cups so again even if the buttons and the flaps and all that are not your vibe but you like to have bust cups this is a great princess seemed kind of basic sloper for you to use as a jumping off point for all kinds of things. Our finished waist measurements 29 up to 42 and a half finished hip it's a loose fitting skirt so that's going to be a lot larger so the bust is really the most fitted part here and they only gave us the finished measurements for bust cup C and D but they do offer bust cups also in an A B so I don't know why that was left off maybe by accident but regardless probably somewhere around an inch smaller right we can just kind of assume that so 36 and a half up to 50 for the A B cup and then your C and your D all right next up we have this looks pretty cute I'm into these like little peasant T dresses still um high waist dress has square neckline again with the square neckline with tucks and sleeve variations and gathered full skirt has flounced him options I love a flounced him what do we have here okay square neckline with these tucks here this fabric I feel like is not the best I guess they were trying to go for something tropical but I think it's just missing the mark just a little bit but anyways you have these tucks here princess seams there's elastic in the shoulder big puppy sleeve with a cuff and you can see the cuff is being pulled up again which again even though this sleeve is nice and full something's happening to cause this to be to pull up here probably within this shoulder situation then you have a waist seam albeit wonky like not straight across that might I think that's just due to the nature of this fabric that they chose you have a gathered seam there and then this is supposed to be a flounced ruffle but it looks like it's been gathered not flounced um flounce would look more like it would be flowy on the bottom but there wouldn't be puckers here almost more like a circle skirt so maybe that's just a miss you know they mistype here on the description here it is um in a little floral again you can see the tucks you've got this um kind of flutter sleeve which they've adorned with some kind of trimming which is really sweet princess seams again the sleeve actually goes into this princess seam that's a detail I missed on the other version as well and then this is an even longer version is that what's happening oh and also elastic arm sleeve hem yeah I just yeah maybe this is just not my favorite fabric and that's why I'm having a hard time because I do really like this I do really like this um yeah let's look at the line drawings that might help this is so cute this is the one that the model is wearing it also has these um it's not a cuff like I thought it's actually like a plate detail and clearly gathers on both so nothing's flounced I really like it um this version I wish maybe had three tiers which wouldn't be hard to do these are just squares that you tack on um yeah it's cute I'm nervous to see how much fabric this is going to take shali crepe double george at cotton blends and lightweight linen so these fabrics here these first three are going to be lightweight obviously and that is what is going to create this hem the the there's a chance that the fabric even though this is supposed to be on the straight grain is growing and that's what's causing this to happen the weight of the skirt is kind of pulling it down on the areas where it's most uh it's likely to stretch out that doesn't bother me too much it really doesn't um maybe it's kind of one of those unavoidable things but nonetheless if you that does bother you a lot these cottons and linens well the linen depending on how tightly woven it is but would be a little bit better um you could definitely they said cotton blends but I think you could definitely do you know full on cotton too there's nothing the more structured that the fabric is like the less drape that it has the more that this will kind of just float away from your body and give even more of that like peasanty big full skirt vibe which maybe this could use okay invisible zipper elastic for the shoulder lace for the trim and then okay great and so then the um sizing on this one is the 8 to 16 and 16 to 24 fabric wise yes okay so we need three yards for the flouncy sleeve version up to close to four yards for the maxi yeah that makes a lot of sense um and actually the fact that it's under four yards for the largest size is is pretty decent meaning like it could have been worse bust line measurement it's all that's really applicable here I agree with only including this it's 34 inches up to 48 and a half and even the bust is pretty loose fitting so cute here for this okay we've got a wrap dress and sash wrap dress has extended shoulders which I think means drop sleeve with sleeve variations skirt and length variations and self sash closure that's kind of hard to say so so self sash which is a sash made of a self fabric self sash closure okay beautiful like wrap uh coverage right it's a higher neckline um barely any of her cleavage is showing and if she is a plus size woman you know you guys have a lot more cleavage than the smaller girls do um again with this pulling I don't know what is happening maybe with this it's a little bit more expected because there is no way to like fully like there's no sleeve cap to like really compensate for that but when I see it three times in a row it's a little bit like I don't know about something um and then it just wraps and comes down this one's ankle length here is the illustration um we do have a bust dart I love this little ruffle detail I love the ruffle around the hem too I love that they gave her a sassy pose and a big big smile here it is in a print oh and the bubble sleeve with the elastic hem this is cute I want to see how this closes though yeah we're gonna have to look at the notions to see about the closures but I like it I like it a lot um okay let's look at that so shally cotton blends crepe rayon this is probably I don't know if this is a cotton but it looks like Ankara it could be like an Ankara fabric you could also go into um linen I mean you could do any fabric for this any light to medium weight fabric for sure so the sizing on this is 18 to 24 and then 26 to 32 now remember an 18 in women's is not the same as an 18 in missus they're cut from different blocks so if you've ever thought to yourself that you your measurements fit into a size 18 but something's off something doesn't fit right it's not curve-alicious enough for you try an 18 woman's I don't know exactly how the numbers translate like the bust measurement for an 18 misses and a bust measurement for an 18 woman's you might have to size down but like in the hip I am a 2022 misses so not that the hip really matters on this one but like I'm a 16 in the bust and then a 2022 in the hip so I could that would be interesting to try and make a woman's dress obviously in my size and see I think it's just going to be probably drafted for a fuller bust which I don't have um yeah that would be I should do that try and find like two comparable designs and see how the fit is different and maybe it's better I don't know okay so we have two buttons and a yard of elastic but the elastic is just for B so that's not helping with the closure sure oh for the sleeve okay so all there is in here are two buttons so I imagine you wrap it right too close to your body button it on the inside and then wrap the other side over button it on the outside and then the sash covers those buttons I think yardage wise we've got around three three and a half yards for a which is the ruffly version B is the sleeved with the ruffle hem that is going up to four yards and then the version of the model is wearing is up to five yards bust line measurement 43 to 57 waistline 33 to 47 and then no hip measurement because I guess it's there's just so much ease there it's cute though I really like it okay we've got a buttery retro 19 19 what 50s dress slim or full skirted dress has a cutaway cape collar a cutaway cape collar and buttoned bodice view a has contrast detachable collar elbow sleeves and peg top skirt view b has contrast ribbon in back no over collar and short sleeves and we literally get two pictures we get this one they did not make any samples they just didn't even bother which is so annoying we talk a lot about these vintage patterns in the comment section and how we wished that they would make them make a sample make it modern make it look like something we might want to wear today that doesn't feel like a costume I know that a lot of you are into like the vintage aesthetic but for those of us that are like not trying to necessarily like pinpoint a vintage vibe there are some of these vintage garments that I actually might wear if I could visualize them in a more modern fabric styling I mean a lot of times when they do make versions of this the hair is like quaffed and there's the curls and it's just like so much like can we not just put it like on a normal like how would you wear this every day without letting everyone know I'm wearing a vintage design either way we have a grown-on sleeve we have really long waist darts a little hip or waist pleat back has darts there's also darts in the bottom of the sleeve here then the fuller skirt now just is that paneled I can't tell or it's pleated it's just pleated and a little grown-on sleeve the collar comes off of one of these and then you have yourself belt oh that's the back okay this is the back this is that little ribbon detailing they were mentioning on the back all right yardage shantung fail crepe shear or lightweight wools linen pk cotton broadcloth so all pretty structured woven midweight fabrics buttons ribbon buckle for the belt yardage wise for the slim skirt up to three yards oh and the sizing is six to 14 and then 14 to 22 and then the fuller skirt goes up to four yards bust line measurement pretty fitted 33 3 3 1 1 half up to 47 same for the waist also fitted and then the hip line for the fitted skirt again pretty fitted here 39 to 52 and a half and okay now we have a fun little mommy and me situation I love their little faces children and mrs top and skirt pull over cropped top with elastic shirt back has shoulder ties raised waist top raised waist top ends at high hip so there's another version of the top I guess and has elastic shirt back side slits and shoulder ties pull on skirt has front drape that starts above the knee and dips to mid calf and back the back dips to mid calf okay there's kind of a lot to unpack here starting with the tops um it's interesting to me that the design of the girl's top and the women's top is the exact same like the women don't get darts they don't get cops they don't it's just like the fact that we grew boobs is irrelevant in this pattern um even with like the really big strap bow detail like I don't I mean I like whenever moms and kids look the same but not like the same like you're just wearing a bigger kids version um we have an elastic waist skirt it does have a button here it makes me think that like some kind of wrap is happening is that how they're able to pull this off her little face is just so sweet um and then it's a high low hem so the wrong side of your fabric will show this is actually pretty decent sometimes you'll have fabric that's really colorful on one side and then stark white on the inside um that bothers me to no end so if you do a print find one that you know the contrast is not as drastic okay here's the other top we do get a princess seam here same big shoulder ties kind of pulls away from the body a little bit like a peplum and then has little side slits and then there's the girl's version of that here's the back with the shirring now is this actual shirring or they're throwing elastic casings in there because if they keep calling that shirring I'm gonna be really upset sassy sassy um okay there's the cover here are our lion drawings they're definitely elastic casings which isn't shirring these are elastic casings so I don't know why they keep doing that plus not to mention like actual shirring is easier I think than these elastic casing things they make you do anyways so I don't know why they don't just do the shirring anyways the top does have princess seams I missed that which I should have guessed after seeing the the illustration but um but so does the little girls so yeah I just I don't know about this as an adult I love this for a child even for a teenager maybe I just don't see myself like wearing this even to like a birthday party or a barbecue it feels very juvenile and you know probably doesn't help that they showed it right next to an actual juvenile so there's that I do think this has this button has something to do with how they're able to get this straight the skirt is pretty the skirt is really nice and I think you could make a lot of really great comfy versions of that I just this top just feels like young right when it looks appropriate on her for her age maybe it's the fabric too I don't know that's something about it not sitting great all right cotton linen gauze and silky types a lot of elastic bias tape and then we've got size combinations three to eight for the girls and then small to 1x for the women's yes for the misses so little one-yard wonder for the top the crop top the longer one goes into well the little girls are still a one-yard wonder but the misses go up to just about one and a half and the skirt takes up to two yards hip line measurement which honestly like it's not a fitted hip at all I'd rather have gotten the waistline measurement 27 up to 49 and a half okay now look at this fun little number shirts pants and shorts okay now this is a crop top set that I could get behind button front shirts have dropped sleeves and pointed collar the longer sleeve version is cropped above the waist the short sleeve view is hip length with side slits okay so like a tunic wide leg pants with front and back darts have shaped high waist back zipper and patch pockets above knee link shorts view also included okay so the top little bit of a drop shoulder set in sleeve kind of narrows down to right below your elbow button front and then they put a little elastic casing in and cropped it right at the waist front patch pocket collars cute the pants have this shaped waistband you can see there's even like seeming within the waistband in order to give it that shape or is that not even a waistband that is not even a waistband that's the dart so this is all one piece interesting and then you have patch pockets and this little V which you don't have to sew the V you can leave the V out there it is as a short and then this is the same top believe it or not um lengthened to that kind of tunic length so you get really I mean those are two very different tops I'm not sure about this staying up is it just me or does it seem like that would be well when you look at it this way uh don't love the exposed zipper that's an interesting choice and does it have to go so low I mean that is like a really low zipper am I right but this is so super fitted um and the definitely a um it's not wedgie but it's close there's not a lot of fabric through here so but everything below it does look really good I just don't know how long it would be before all this started to stretch out and pants fell off because I have pants vogue pants that are designed like this right they kind of come up onto the waist and they have darting but they also had boning um which helped keep them up I just don't know what is keeping these up maybe y'all it can help me in the comments am I just is this just like I'm overthinking this and like it's fine um because it just seems like all this especially in that linen or whatever she was wearing would just stretch out in no time yardage cotton linen poplin and denim and then the tops you can also make out of silky types and shirtings elastic for the top the crop top buttons and exposed zipper I don't get the exposed zipper going into your butt crack I don't get that that seems painful um 6 to 14 and then 16 to 24 so this is how they're able to get a smaller size and a larger size by not having one overlap I guess there's a reason why they're limited to five sizes per category per size category I just wish they weren't I just wish they didn't limit it to five I mean our indie friends are doing like 20 sizes in one so I don't know why they can't do that at least one more where they could do a 6 to 16 and then a 16 to 24 or something like that all right the shirts one and a half yards ish no matter which version you're making which is interesting because you would think the longer one would require more fabric but that's how pattern tetris works and then the pants two and a half ish shorts one and a half ish bust line measurement there it's kind of a loose top 38 to 53 and a half the waist line for the pants they're not given the hip line is 36 to 51 and a half which the waist on the pants is far more fitted in the top so I don't know why they're not showing that but I could get behind this if I felt confident that this wouldn't just like fall down within an hour wearing it all right now we've got a little jumpsuit sash and belt elastic waist jumpsuit has asymmetrical button front back zipper and sleeve variations view A and B have pockets and tapered like pants view C has pockets and wide leg crop pants view A and C have a sash view B has a D ring belt a D ring belt yeah that's very 70s but like we need to bring those back that's cute I like that a lot more than like a bow maybe that's what I'm over about the sashes is the big giant bow that you have to have I love the D ring that's super cute so we've got another somewhat modest crossover here this was obviously a surplus bodice meaning it's not a true wrap then you've got your collar again very 70s all of this here you've got a grown-on not a grown-on as sewn in sleeve with a button tab there's an elastic waist in here and then this is the tapered leg here it is sleeveless there is the wide leg crop and then a bubble sleeve here's the back center back zip yeah the pants look pretty good you know through the crotch area yeah okay here are our line drawings yeah I don't see anything uh negative about this which just comes down to whether you like the style or not the buttons are probably unnecessary if that was like a little bit too much whoaw for you cotton blends crepe gabardine linen and shally you need elastic buttons bias tape for the sleeveless version D rings yeah nothing outrageous there we do have the what I'm going to call the extended size range within misses because it goes from six to 24 fabric wise that's your interfacing view a was what was view a view a is the sleeveless version so three and a quarter up to three and a quarter yards for that the tapered long pants with the sleeve three and five eighths and then the wide leg pants with the bubble sleeve three and five eighths pretty loose fitting at the bodice not pretty it's kind of like semi fitted 34 and a half up to 50 your waistline is elastic so I mean if you did it exactly how they said up to 52 inches and then your hip line your hip measurement only goes up to 51 and a half on these not the best not the worst all right now we've got this is very traditional butter it's a Catherine Tilton design she's been with butter probably longer than I've been alive very into the patchworky asymmetrical funkiness of it all and a lot of hand pick stitching so if this is your vibe you love Catherine Tilton if it's not then you're just moving on to the next one loose fitting pull over top has asymmetrical hem and neckline view a has decorative pick stitch and contrast back pockets view b is color blocked so you've got this funky little neckline with this little doodad here a little pleats a seam a grown on sleeve with a little baby sleeve one princess seam very asymmetrical right the whole thing is like just funky and off and nothing makes sense I bet these are a ton of fun to put together right where everything doesn't really match up here's the color blocked version Catherine Tilton also loves a tunic loves a tunic right they're fun and different and unique and very artsy I think it's the best way to explain it here are our line drawings right yardage cotton blends interlock cotton knits and novelty woven because it's not really fitted anywhere you can make it out of knits or woven's and then we have extra small to medium and then large to 2x then all you need is some embroidery floss as a notion to do that pick stitching two and a quarter yards of fabric total for the one that was like all one and then oh wait I lied they both have contrast no what's happening here top a is which one oh okay so there is a little bit of contrast in a in the pockets just three eighths of a yard so for the most part two and a quarter yards to make the whole top and then if you want to do the color blocking version you need three different fabrics bustline measurement goes up to 60 inches because it's so loose fitting all right here we have a mrs tunic with sash and top okay okay sorry just needed to take a minute to take that in all right v-neck top has not at top of neckline that keyhole with loop and button closure sleeve and link variations okay initially I don't know what to think about this I think my brain is telling me or is it my heart my heart wants to like it because it kind of looks like a bow but my brain is telling me something's not right but then I'm looking at it and I'm like nothing's wrong no about this one and that might surprise you guys I think a lot of you probably saw this and thought I was gonna love it immediately but maybe I don't I don't know I don't know let's look at more views so here it is in like a little women print and that has the sash and it's a longer length sleeveless here it is with the bubble sleeve and a cuff and little ties I like the illustrations better than the mock-up and I don't know if that's because this is like a shirting like this is structured and it would be better if it were like a little bit draper I don't know back with the keyhole you can see the facing here as well your sleeve also has a little bit of like um ruffling to it so it's not like a set in set in sleeve there is a little bit of gathering on the top which makes it a little bit easier to put in it yeah I I want to like it and maybe if I see some other versions of other people making it I'll be more inclined all right the back of the envelope cotton blend lightweight poplin crepe and shally um a button for the back the one inch elastic and then three eighths inch of elastic if you're going to do the one with a little elastic sleeve the longer version it takes just under two yards of fabric and the same for um the other two well top c with the sleeves I think yeah c has the sleeve so that takes a little bit more fabric as well I was kind of hoping it didn't take that much because if it didn't take a lot then I would be more inclined to like try it out I wonder if the tunic the sleeveless version done at this high hip length if you could get it down to like one and a half one and a quarter yards maybe depending on your size the bust line measurement is 37 to 53 and a half waistline goes up to 52 and then the lower edge which I like to use as a hip measurement even though it's not your full hip it will help um determine the hip measurement is uh the longer version is 57 inches and the longer version would be a hip measurement right and then the shorter version just comes in an inch so you can get an idea of you know how full the hip is there okay what is next I do feel like we have a lot of patterns so that's good here is a okay okay another top relaxed fitting dolman sleeve tops have asymmetrical draped neckline with options for flutter sleeves or elastic casing dual neckline top has wide gathered sleeves tops have keyhole with loop and button closure okay so this is pretty fun they're doing it you know tucked in which I don't think I've worn anything tucked in in a minute especially to like a pencil skirt but I guess they're kind of banking on people maybe going back to the office I know some of my friends are definitely going through that and figuring out what am I going to wear I have to go back to work um so we have this little twisty loo top neckline with this cutout that is really interesting to me the grown-on sleeve so nothing set in here and then a little elastic casing um you can see this one does also pulls away from her arm a little bit but not as much as those other ones that we saw I don't see any darting at all um that's more of just like the relaxed fit sleeve there it is without any neckline adorning at all and then okay good thank you for showing it untucked so we have the keyhole back and it sits at your high hip that's the finished length of it what kind of fabrics I'm wondering I do like this detail a lot you know me I am a basic with a twist girl and this is quite literally a basic with a twist um I could see myself doing it in lots of different fabrics I mean more inclined to do it out of a knit and I don't think this is not drafted for nits yardage yeah charmous cotton blends craped a sheen double georgette poplin shirtings or silky types I'd have to look through this stash and see if there's something that I I mean a woven top I I don't know how I would style a woven top anymore obviously back in the day I just throw it on with jeans but I'm really trying to not wear jeans not because I don't like jeans they're just not super comfortable on me I guess and they kind of feel like a crutch a little bit but so I don't know I'd have to think about this one because I do love that neckline maybe even if I just used it as like the bodice for a dress I could see myself maybe even lengthening it to just be like a little shift dress I don't know but this feels fun it feels fun I just don't know how I would practically wear it I wouldn't wear it like this more like this but that to me is why I kind of thought it would be better out of a knit um because it looks more like a t-shirt you know but a woven shirt over just pay I don't know like I said I have to think I'd have to think I'm sure I could make it cute with like some shorts or something but anyways um okay so you need one button and elastic and that is it we have the quote unquote extended size range for misses six to 24 um yardage wise top a and I'm always forgetting which is a a is the flutter sleeve version so that's just under two yards and then when you go to make b which is the version the model is wearing um one and three quarters of a yard up to and then c is the like similar to the one model is wearing but without any of the next stuff that's one and five eight so a little bit less there finish measurement at the bust line a and b interesting so you have a different bust line measurement if you do the neckline thing then if you don't buy two and a half yards I mean two and a half inches that's wild and then the lower edge aka your high hip is 38 to 53 and a half that's so interesting to me um and then I don't know did we see the line drawings yeah we did and they're like I said there is no darting so in a way couldn't you make it out of a knit especially something somewhat stable and not super stretchy like a 30 cotton jersey or something and then just eliminate the center back seam eliminate the p-hole you just pull it all over your head I might try that all right now we've got a pretty plain top here it is a knit top with side slits is really what I'm getting updated t-shirt sized for stretch knits have elbow length sleeves with or without button closures and side seam openings short sleeve or sleeveless top have side seam button closure back views have option for peek-a-boo opening what so this is the t-shirt with the side slits okay oh there's a button there I'm not quite sure what the purpose of a button on the inside of your sleeve is but okay that's the printed version of what the model's wearing then you can do these buttons here oh that's the peek-a-boo opening gotcha okay okay well I mean if I hadn't seen this little detail a thousand times I think Love Notions has a version that they just released I like hacked a pattern to include this years ago I mean like five years ago so it doesn't feel that new and updated and fresh to me especially again when we go to these like basic basic things like t-shirts it's hard for me to justify spending even two dollars three dollars out of joe and sale for a t-shirt when we have so many great patterns for free or even versions that just are better than this one like the Love Notions tee is five dollars and I feel like is way I mean granted it doesn't have the peek-a-boo it doesn't have the button details but I'm not so certain I even love those um yeah I guess it just comes down to personal style if you like this design or not I'm not a fan not enough of it's not there's nothing to be a fan of or not you know it's just so basic and I guess these little things they tried to add to make it less basic just feel old like we were doing this a long time ago this I already illustrated I did five years ago so I don't know moderate stretch knits interlocked jacar jersey ity single knit bamboo rib knit um then these are the buttons that you need and then we have eight to 16 and 16 to 24 is the size range one and three eighths for a and again I forgot what a is so a is the model version well I don't know the difference between a and b couldn't tell you c has the buttons and d is sleeveless so they should all be about the same yeah they're all roughly the same bus line measurement probably not if we don't have zero ease maybe a little bit negative ease here but either way it fits a 32 and a half to 47 and then waistline and lower edge shouldn't really matter too much okay next up we have mrs pants and shorts pleated tappered pant is this really happening plate front pants half live front zipper side pockets waistband with carriers and back welt pockets view a is tapered like pant view b is a wide like pan and view c is shorts designed by patty palmer from palmer and plush okay that makes it a little bit more redeeming because palmer and plush is like going to help you with the fit right so obviously we're harkening back to like a very classic design because you're going to spend a lot of time getting the perfect fit on these you could turn the pleats into darts that would help we've got a fully functioning fly some kind of side pockets deep him very deep him taken there maybe they just altered it for her but um but yeah there's a little short yeah so she's also going to have you like fit a pant in a pretty um classic type of fit so which is what's being represented here right this looks very odd i'm trying not to use all negative words it's just not very modern fit okay um which again some of you probably love others of you are like wait no that's not what pants look like in the stores these days i get that too but i guess if you're looking to get a perfect fitting pants you're going to not try and go super super fitted or even slim fit because then it just becomes harder to fit so maybe that's why she opted for a pant with a lot more ease at the waist at the hip so there you have it there's my thoughts on that here are the line drawings very classic i should try a little short like this i do have fabric bottom weight fabric that i got four shorts and then became afraid of pants so i just sat in my stash and i haven't wanted to use it for like elastic waist anything you know i wanted to really try and find a shorts pattern maybe patties is the way to go and she can help me with fit plus you know the little bit that i've learned kind of on my own yardage wise okay fabrics are gabardine linen cotton blends poplin twill obviously suiting you know any of those good structured bottom weights hook and bar closure nine inch zipper self double-sided adhesive fabric tape that's how she installs her zippers elastic for fitting and or stay tape or and stay tape eight to sixteen and sixteen to 24 on the size range and then up to two and a half yards for view a which is the tapered version view b is the wide leg version and view c is the shorts waistline finished 30 i'm sorry 25 and a half up to 40 and then your hip line finished there's you can just tell there's a lot of ease in the hip yeah maybe maybe patty we'll have to see okay i'm gonna stop with that now we have pajamas the mrs top nightgown and shorts loose loose fitting pullover top believe it or not i know you guys probably don't think this but i do edit out some of my thoughts some of them make it out of my mouth some of them do not and i had a longer than usual pause there looking at this pattern because i was debating on whether i should say what's in my mind or not but i was just saying it was something along the lines of she has that look in her eye like she just woke up um you know a little bit like off into the distance like just like i just woke up i'm not really all here so i was thinking she's a very good actress loose fitting pullover top and nightgowns have square neck bands with sleeve and hem variations shorts have elastic waist i was also thinking how weird this fabric is for a nightgown but there is like a yoke situation with some gathers here they tacked on a little ribbon threw in a little bit of lace trim flutterish sleeve and then a hem band gathered there is that this is this is a lot of work for a nightgown guys this here is not for the faint of heart this is a very challenging construction wise again a lot for pajamas a lot for nobody to see but you and your family the representation among the illustrations is nice to see this is our first asian illustration yeah it's just like all a little crooked you know like lopsided yeah i mean it's cute if i thought that i had the brain power to put this together for a pajama i'd like it a little bit more but trust me that square neckline mitered thing is very difficult not to say that it couldn't be a you make it out of fabric you wear outside i mean this is a little nightgowny with the sleeve but like this would work i think this could be cute nothing to say about these shorts okay so yardage wise cotton batis lightweight satin eyelet lightweight cotton and lightweight flannel and then you have contrast lace or eyelet bias tape elastic lace and ribbon okay um the top is a courtyard and then as we get longer into the nightgowns they require more fabric obviously and then the shorts are one and a half ish very loose fitting in the bust line and the waistline and the hip line so lots of ease all around which i guess is ideal for a nightgown all right then we've got a little dress one with a crossover one without these illustrations are too much and then um a little preteen and then some more baby luke's all right so buttery after a six month hiatus or maybe longer what do we think what do we think i have mixed feelings i love the classicness of it all right not super trendy but still like fresh feeling that's what i think i love about buttery but also i don't know there's anything that i'm like dying to have so i'm interested to know what your thoughts are about this um maybe this was just kind of like a soft opening a soft reentry you know what i mean nice and safe um i think safe is a good way to explain it but i'd love to know what you guys thought if there's any of these patterns that you're going to be running to grab um let me know in the comment section below otherwise i've linked to last week's first impression friday which was for an etsy shop called daria pattern making which is fully into the trends so it'll be two very opposite ends of the spectrum for you but if you want to watch that click the bottom right corner of your screen otherwise that's going to do it for me today all thanks so much for watching i'll see you very soon bye
