 Hi you guys, welcome back to a monthly indie sewing pattern roundup. This is all of the new video, the new indie sewing patterns that came out in January. Okay, I know it's the end of February, but we're doing it. Okay, February's will be out very soon. I'm just flipping through all these now. If you don't know what this is, basically I scour the internet. My emails, all of my socials to find the new sewing patterns that are released from indie pattern companies every month. And these are all the ones that I found in January. So without further ado, we're going to jump in and we're just going to take a look at them and see what, see what's new, see what's popping out there. Love notions came out with the cleft coat. The cleft coat is a relaxed fit coat meant for women. Oh, women. Wow. I can't read. Woven or stable knit fabrics. The cleft has two closure options. Zippered or button slash snaps. Also included are two hem options, drawstring or elastic. No coat is complete without pockets. Kangaroo pockets as well as a welt breast pocket are included. Choose to sew up either a stand collar or a hooded cleft coat. Lots of options. Size is extra small to five X as we know. No notions is one of the most inclusive companies. If not the most inclusive. So here are all those features. I just went over and then all the formats that you get. Okay, cool. Let's take a look at the pictures. Now this is when I start to get really annoyed. Okay, good. I like for it to be big and I like for me to be able to scroll. So if anybody's launching a sewing pattern website out there, this is the desirable user interface. Okay. All right. So hooded, right? This is the kangaroo pocket snaps. This is stand collar and zip. This looks to be snaps and stand collar. So it looks kind of like a mix of a bomber and I don't know a what are those? Oh shoot. I've literally just had the name in my head. Shacket, it's like a bomber and a shacket had a baby kind of. It's like a hoodie and a bomber had a baby. It's really quite cool and I can see it out of fleece. I wonder if anybody. Soda out of fleece. This is one of the owners of love notions. I think that Pendleton wall cuz amazing set in sleeve, maybe a little bit of a drop shoulder. Was that indicated? Yeah, kind of a long shoulder length. Super cool. And then, yeah, you can do the facing and the inner collar in the same fabric or even like a sherpa or something. Yeah, here's this. Oh, is that all binding? So is it? It's online. It's online, but then what is this beautiful something something? Gorgeous. Yeah, it's got bias binding almost all the way around it right here too. That's beautiful. Yeah, for me, it's probably a little bit too long. I don't like when coats hit across my butt like that because I have a big butt. I like for them to be either high waist or high hip or below the butt somewhere high or low and nowhere in between usually, but that's an easy enough fix. Here she is again in the other version. This is snaps. Oh, and it also has all these drawstrings. So through the hoods drawstring and then through the waist the hem. Now this one doesn't look like it's been finished by bias. It looks like it was whipped through a serger. It also looks more lightweight. So that is kind of like a shacket vibe. Cute. I like actually the contrast hood too. There's another plan. You perfect. Well pocket, plain gray, elasticated sleeves. I'm noticing that does hers have? No, she turned under hers. So I guess that's an option as well. Oh, yeah, like a lightweight like anorak type of vibe. That's a cute idea. That would take you into spring for sure. This might that looks like a sweatshirt fleece to me. I guess if it has very little stretch like Ponte sweatshirt fleece and things like that, you could probably use a knit. Did nobody use fleece? That would have been my first choice fleece and then. Oh, here we go. Here we go. Maybe that's not fleece. Maybe that's that teddy bear fleece is fleece. But yeah, I see it as a fleece. I don't know why. I love her little contrasting zipper. That's so cute. Tee-hee secrets. Yeah, so fleece and then like the lightweight shell fabric like an anorak would have a little bit my choice says. This is the other owner of love notions. Well, that one's really freaking adorable too. Yeah, I can't zoom in anymore, but I mean, hers looks lined. Am I wrong? Yeah, so I don't know if they're giving you instructions for lined or unlined, but she definitely did something to hers. Maybe the hooded one comes line. I don't know, but yeah, they're really cute. It doesn't talk about lining meant for woven, but it doesn't talk about lining at all. So if that's important to you and you want instructions for that, maybe reach out to them. They're really good at customer service. Okay, next up are two patterns from swim style. We have the this font is I don't even know what. I know that it says the Tamarama set, but if I were looking at this for the first time, I would be like, what language is that? Because it is not English. Okay, pattern details. Let's read through these. So three different styles. Shirt, full-length pant and shorts. Size range is small, extra small to 11X, which is a hip of 64 inches. Kudo swim style. So 36 inch hip to a 64 inch hip. 32 inch bust to a 60 inch bust. That's amazing. Two different size groups, extra small to 4X and then I guess 5X to 11X or 4X to 11X. But tell me something about the design. They're not going to give us a bunch about that. Okay. Oh, description. Design for woven fabrics, the shirt styles and oversized look, detailed finish measurements are included, which will assist on fit. Okay, great. Featuring a relaxed drop, shoulder seam and button front, this shirt is on trend and can be dressed up or dressed down. The pants are a wider fit through the leg and both an adjustable drawstring closure. Okay. All of these fabric recommendations would work. We, what is this? Confidence and precision of our patterns and the rare vented pattern doesn't perfectly provide a personalized video consultation. That's cool. With over 38 years of experience. That's really neat. You don't see that every day. Same 20% off this pattern with our bundles and you can bundle with these the following options. Okay. Let's take a look at it. Oh, it's cute. It's cute. Oh, that is a big photo. Okay. So wide leg pant pattern. I'm assuming this is elastic waist, oversized drop sleeve shirt. Is that going to be the only? Oh, okay. I that this is one of my least favorite viewing experiences because big is too big and small is kind of too small. And I, well, anyways, so let's look at some more than though. Let's see if we have anything in not a print or a line drawing would be helpful. Yeah. So I think I might have originally thought this was a sleeve wear, which for sure it totally can be, but I mean, it can also just be a cute little outfit because I mean, she's wearing it out and she looks super cute. Yep. All these pictures are great. I love these. They're not the most like cute. See, tootsie, you know, artsy fartsy pictures, but they help us as so as see what we're dealing with. So the shape of the sleeve here, how it comes up a little bit very flattering. There does seem to be a bit of a curve to the hem also super flattering and you can also see how wide the leg is here. Super helpful photo. Aha. Okay. So drop shoulder. Probably maybe even a forward shoulder seam. Elastic casing, but it's one of those that's like two rows of casing. So that's nice and a slight flare cute. Are you going to show us the back? No, we get no back. Okay. So these are all of your measurements and what not. And the last photo is about fabric. I bet. Okay. The other one is and for $18 a shirt and pants. That makes sense. And this also might not be us dollars. No, no, no, it is. It's us dollars. Okay. That's not bad. It's $9 a piece. You know, this is their other pattern. The Andy set, which is just calling my name. Can't you guys see me in this? Oh, love this so much. Okay. So pattern details. Um, that's not pattern details. Description way down here. Okay. It's interesting. They're on the same place features a deep back. Not a deep the neckline. The center front includes a casing that has gathered upwards to add a ruched effect to the design. A tie is simply threaded through to create the gathers variations short and long tie option elevate the look by extending the link to wear the tie. As in view B. Andy top view a features bell shaped sleeves finished with elastic casings at the wrist. The sleeves can also be simply finished with a hem to create a seventies inspired look like a like almost like a flare sleeve, I guess. Um, and B features a sleeveless style perfect for more weather. The skirt, which is an A line cut with deep side splits also includes pockets and easy elastic casing finish. You said this is obviously the longest thing with the bell and this is like think of it as a draw stream that goes vertically off the sleeveless one is cute to is this what she was talking about how the ties go up and around the neck. That's cool. Did that happen on this one? No, maybe that was what she was talking about with one of the variations. That's so interesting. Just an interesting little something that she's right. Super easy to do. You're actually going to have to do any more sewing. It's just more about styling than anything. There she pushed up the sleeves to make them have and you can see the elastic here. So this is like wider one elastic casing, the wider elastic. Yeah, can you see here how this comes up and through that's such a cool idea to do pants and one fabric top on another one and then do this out of the pants fabric brilliant. So cute. It's a little loose through here for me. I think I would prefer it tighter. But that's just me and my personal style. So cute. Yep, the leg slits. Oh, I see it is a loose top. I see you can also see the facing here. That's really beautiful construction all in one facing through the arm and the neckline. Beautiful. Yeah, cute. I mean the skirt's a bit of a throwaway, right? We can probably just drop that ourselves or you already have an elastic waist skirt. So you're really kind of buying the top here. Cute. Okay, got it. How many more? Two more. Any line drawings? Yes. Okay, this is what I wanted to see for the other one. Any more of this? So yeah. Super cute. I absolutely love it. There's the back center vaccine. There's a center vaccine here. No center front scene. Super duper cute. Love it. Love it. Great job. Okay, this is the My Keeper Sunny Dress. About this style. This is not just any dress. It's playful, casual and incredibly versatile. Addition to your summer wardrobe with over six different ways to wear it. Love that. This long and flowy sundress will become your go-to for every summer occasion. So, O-F-S-O-S-F-M, O-S-F-M. What does that stand for? Best fit O-S-F-M, fitting one size fits most. Best fit is 6 to 18, but can fit up to a 22. But some of the styles are not as double, doable. Okay. Best six through what? Six through 18? These are centimeters. Oh man. So 59 to 93. Well, what, what does the style look like? Oh, I see. Yeah. Okay. So the bust does matter. 81 to 119, centimeter two inches. What do I say? 81. So the 31 inch bust to 1 to 18. What did I say? Hold on. Where is she? He's here. A to 119. That was close. Yeah, 46 inch bust is where it maxes out. Interesting. Okay. So not the most size inclusive, but let's see how the design works. Oh boy. So it looks to be like a functioning wrap dress. All you have is really a, oh, I changed my mind. This is my least favorite. Oh no. Here we go. Redeemed. You're redeemed. So you have like basically the little bodice, maybe it's even just one panel, you know, cut twice, same for the back and then bias binding around all the raw edges and then super long ties, but you can tie it a bunch of different ways. I think that's what's happening here. It's also high low hem. Oh, it's low in the back for this option is. You can wear it as a skirt. You can wear it. That's probably how the picture had it. So cute from eternity. This one has some strapping in the back, but can you see how it's just got thick bias binding around the raw edges of this kind of shapeless little thing? I get it. I don't know. What do we think? I know myself and I know that I probably would only like it one way. I don't know. Would I really change it up that much? Maybe I would. Maybe depending on the occasion, depending on how I'm feeling that day, I might be like, you know, let's do something different. Okay. This. Oh, that's not my favorite, but I also don't like strapless like on me. Let's see some more of these. Where were we? I think we were here. Maybe here. Oh, okay. Yeah, some of these are super duper cute. Can you not? Okay. So we're not going to look at all of them. I'm going to see if they have any sort of illustration showing all the different ways. They don't. I wonder if that comes in the instruction pack because how many different ways? Over six. So more than six. It's it's interesting. It's interesting. $19 though. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's going to be hard for me to justify with the information I'm giving here. Like if I were no to know that this was lined. If I were to have the six different ways of styling it, I might be more inclined. I mean, you can see the pictures, but they're also like I just want illustrations like this to show all the different ways. It's it's smart though and interesting and definitely has my attention. That's for sure. Okay. Next up we have two patterns from June. This is the elasticated v-neck cap sleep top. How freaking adorable is this? This is also right at my alley. It is sizes extra small to three X. What does that mean though? We will find out in the images. I think. Yeah. She doesn't say here. Okay. Let's look at the pictures. Oh video. I just love it so much. So cute. Yeah. Packsleeves elasticated v-neck ruffle waist button closure darts in the back. All you need for a cute summer top. Look at it. Look at it. Tell me that would sell for like $128 on free people. Oh, not the cherries. Cherries are so cute. And if you're wondering, oh, it's too short. It's going to show my belly button. You can make this little ruffly thing longer. It's a really, really easy alteration to make. Just make this longer. It'll still be empire waist. And it will just open up a little bit lower on your body. Okay. So what does the sizing mean? Extra small is a 32 inch bust up to a 42 inch bust. Yikes. Yikes. Okay. That's not very size inclusive. Even though they tell you 3 XL and you think to yourself, oh, that's super size inclusive and ready to wear 3 XL can fit, you know, this kind of person. Or I wear this size 2 XL 1 XL in ready to wear. So for sure I'll be able to wear this. I can barely wear this. Look at the waist. Up to 35 and a half. Wild. That's a no. That's a no for 2024 guys. Come on. And that's too bad because I really like the design. Here's another one of hers is the layered ruffle from Flouse. This one also is, it's cute for sure, but it takes a certain kind of person to pull that off. Right. Probably not a full bust. And kind of loud and proud with your, with your styling choices. This is something that will stand out for sure. Did they get it on a person? They did not. And again, if you're, if you like this and you want to make it, but you're concerned about being so short, just add two more layers to the front and extend the link. It's really easy to make link alterations. Those are the easiest ones to make. So I just want to confirm. Yeah. Same chart. Yeah. 35 and a half inch waist on this one. Kind of negligible. Probably the bus would be the most important size, but man. And I'm like a 14, 16 in the stores now. And this wouldn't fit me. Wild. Okay. This is the styla patterns that are being sold through little lizard King. I know it's a little bit confusing, but this is styla that's part of little lizard King. Okay. Um, this is apparently free. That's amazing. It is a hoodie designed for knit fabrics, pullover style, multiple color block options, long sleeves with thumbhole cuff, contour hood, hood, grommets and drawstring, hidden front pocket drafted, digitally drafted pattern pieces with individual size layers. Follow the sew along here. Okay. That's a sew along. Great. But okay. Here's some photos. Okay. So little hood and I like that the hood. It's open at the neck, but comes up and over your head. I think that that's important whenever you're making like an athletic hoodie because the last thing you want is for this thing to catch the wind and come off. Um, but maybe you don't want to get too hot. So I like that it kind of offers both coverage, but also breathability. Here's the back view and you don't have to do these color block options. You could have done it all the same if you wanted. It does look long again on her, but we have a similar shape. So maybe she's similar to me where it's just better to go ahead and accept the fact that these hems are not going to be wide enough for your, um, pear shape. So to go ahead and either crop it to high hip or have it come down below your bum. But yeah, it looks cute. And honestly, everyone's, yeah, everyone's looks really good. It's just always going to be the link for me. That's what I'm always going to notice. See her. She has more of a straight body or maybe she's like upside down triangle, but that looks good whenever it comes down that low and skims your body. Not so much when you're like a sausage pacing down there, which is how I am. Oh, that's cute. Like at leisure. Yeah. Lots of her fabrics were chosen for the. Samples. Do they have anything about fabrics? No, no, no. Um, recommended fabric. Here we go. Oh, oh. French cherry brush, poly, cotton, like rust, stretch, Sherpa, Polly knit, Polly ribbon, 25% or more stretch and good recovery. I love that they have that information for the people who know, oh my God, people who know what they're talking about or know what they're looking for, but also list out specific options. If you don't know what 25% stretch means, you can just go look exactly for these things. Um, okay. Cool. I'm happy with that. Do they have, yeah, they don't think they have sizing anywhere. But you can see from the photos zero to 32, but it does fit like a plethora of body types and sizes. I think maybe one of these is supposed to be a measurement chart, but it's not. I don't see why otherwise why they would put fabric twice. And it's free. It's free. Go grab it. Okay. This is the newest sewing in the city pattern. The Manetta dress and top is a loose fitting pullover dress and top with 6DA detailing on the front yoke. Mid-link sleeves gathered into a cuff, button or grosgrain ribbon back closure, side seam pockets and ruffled bottom hem. Suggestive fabrics like to medium weight woven. Okay. So her style is inherently like pretty preppy, like cutesy and preppy. Oh boy. How do I get out of that? How do you make it small again? Let's just start over. I don't know how to make it small. Okay. Like I was saying, her style is inherently a little bit preppy. Oh, I see. Gosh, what a shame. All that is kind of being hidden, but I get that contrasting that would be really strange. Two bows in the back, which is made evident by the shape of this one. This one's impossible to tie by yourself. Yeah. Interesting. So from far away, you can't even tell that it has that sweet heart. I guess the only, only thing would be if you did this out of like a solid linen and then this out of some kind of shear, like a shear dot or a mesh or what if you did like eyelet or like maybe even a crochet situation or Swiss Dot. Anything like that is kind of what I'm thinking to help that kind of shine a little bit more because that's a really pretty detail. Here is the dress version, which is just that bottom, this bottom part, lengthened, fun, cute, flirty. Oh, and it has a ruffle hem on it too. Yeah. There, that's as bad as it was as a line drawing that picture. So cool. Yeah, I do like it. For me though, if I'm going to put that much work into those details, I want to make sure that you can see them from across the room. So yeah, just consider different fabric options for the yoke and the sleeve. All right, I don't think we're going to get new here. Just a lot of the same. Oh, here we go. What is this? Fabrics. Is this sizing? I didn't even think about sizing. Body measurements could brief that small. Oh wait, I can make it. Oh, but I can't get out of it. Okay. So sizes two through 20. That's a bust of 32 up to 46. So not great, but not the worst. It's kind of mid-range. So yeah, that's the Manetta from Sewing in the City. This is Petite Stitchery's new adult Mira crossover sweater. It does come in a kids version as well. I feel like we used to make these a lot back in the day like 10, 15 years ago. Just like different takes on sweatshirts kind of this crossover sweater makes sewing a breeze with its doleman style bodice and chic tall cuffs. Well, that's true. Personalize your look by choosing between a sophisticated fold over shawl or a sleek thin one, ensuring your neckline matches your vibe with options for modest crop top or tunic. This pattern is designed to cater to everyone's unique style. Fabric and notions. Wow. Knit fabrics with 50% four-way stretch. Cotton Lake Ruff, French Terry, sweater knits, etc. Okay. Let's take a look. Oh, great. Oh, not so great. Why do they have to be so big? I don't get it. Yeah, that's not going to cut it. I'm over this already. Okay. So now how do I gosh, this is terrible. Maybe these designers will see me struggling through this and think, oh, I didn't even consider what it was like to actually flip through them all. I just thought my page looked pretty and your page is gorgeous. So organize everything else. But like, you got to make this carousel thing a little bit easier to navigate. So this must be the tunic link. It's either top or tunic. I don't know. Is that the modest crop or is that the top again? No idea. I'm just going to put this back. Yep. This is the doleman that she was talking about. So it's just really like a long shoulder seam and then like a shorter sleeve with the tall cup. Yeah. Here's a good picture of it too. So really easy to sew. That's cute for like ballet core. If you're going to put this over like a well, if it were me, I would mimic it after those little wrap tops that all the ballerinas wear. So I would wear it over a dress and I would make it much more fitted, but that's not the design at all. So in that case, I would make it, I think crop, more crop than the crop that I'm seeing. Let me see if there's any line drawings in here and there are not. Oh, here we go. Line drawings. Oh, also the enlarged straw collar and then one that's almost more like bias tape. So cropped, top and tunic. Yeah, I have a feeling that this one is the crop. So the crop is high hip and then top is low hip and tunic is high thigh. Oh, I don't know. It's too hard to guess. I wish that they were to put on here like Sherry's tunic or whatever, but this is the wide shawl collar. I do like that. That's really pretty. And that's the narrow one. So, yeah, I don't know how to make heads or tails of what link is what from these photos, but I just know that I would want something probably shorter than the shortest. Like that's got to be tunic link, right? That's kind of low hip. Maybe no one made the crop version. She didn't call it a modest crop. I don't know. It's too hard to guess. So you just have to kind of hope for the best, I guess. But yeah, I think that was really cute, like fun to take on a sweatshirt cropped you know, and for the spring too where you're not all covered up. It's interesting. It's interesting for nine fifty two. That's a really great price. Okay, this is Sonya step. I say that wrong every time. Half off I think for the launch maybe the perfect combination of comfort and style with Jenna's Jenna pants. You can see kind of just like a yoga pant really lounge pants of the flat front waist and elastic back. I see with a yoke for comfortable fit. Actually this is more than what I thought. I think we need to see the back line drawings to fully understand but pattern features first of all sizes double zero to thirty semi relaxed shorts or pants flat front elastic back back that's a good piece. Okay, thank you this is my favorite. I like when they do the pictures like this and make me so happy. Okay so what's interesting no, you didn't just do that to me I can't zoom in anymore. I see okay that's a bummer. There's a yoke here. Can you see that and then that's where the waist seam attaches here. So there's this extra panel in the back to help get up and over your booty. We need that. Most people need that and the yoke just helps with the shaping of that more than anything. Yes, you could just make that straight up. We're not going to get the shape through here that you really like or the shape of your bum. This is probably modeled after Airy or oh god what's the one that everyone loves under no who makes the align the align leggings it's probably modeled after them but cute you can even size up on the width and still get like that pretty shaping in the back this is the sizing so hip is 34 up to 61 yay yeah here we go now you can see and the back has three rows this is a really good sweat pan this is a really really superbly drafted sweat pan if you don't want to look like you have diaper butt if you don't want to look like it's like saggy and sad if you want like a shaped well-fitting sweat pan this is this is it and actually this plus this could be a really cute set the same so yeah there we go lots of different photos these people all chose lighter weight knit which I'm surprised other velvet ones those are cool yes beautiful yeah I think I would choose something sweat shirt fleece E sweat shirt fleece light do they say in here anything about fabric using knit fabric to the minimum of 30% horizontal stretch and 10% vertical stretch that's really specific athletic knit french terry double brush poly no not for me not for me yeah I'm surprised I guess they're wanting to go with a little bit more of a fitted look so that's why they're asking for the 30% horizontal stretch to get around your body the 10% is to go through your crotch curve but I would think that if you did a sweatshirt fleece or something that didn't have the 30% horizontal stretch you could just size up one and you would still be fine there's plenty of sizes to choose from so I wouldn't be I would go for a thicker not thicker but more stable fabric actually then the drapey ones the drapey ones felt a little bit just like pajamas and I want to make sure it's something I can wear out I'd be interested to know exactly what this green fabric is the velvet looks great like doesn't that look like a sweatshirt fleece to you no way that's double brush poly maybe it is a little bit on the thin side now that I'm really looking at it but yeah I'd rather size up and get something more structured personally okay this is the alien mac gin polished vest and jacket pattern okay so beautiful line drawings here rounded collar knee length hip length mid dive different lengths and then a belt with belt loops and a hood or rounded collar and then sleeve or sleeveless yeah essential piece to have in your wardrobe variety of options for personalized look confidence style vest or jacket four length options two collar options three pocket options inseam patch or lapel fully lined wasn't expecting that belt with belt loops button closure and then a sew along I don't know why on this other one can I even go back on this one I was getting I may be from this like bathrobe vibes I guess and I was wondering myself why would you want a sleeveless bathrobe but maybe that is actually brilliant because it is hot and I don't know where my mind was going this plaid one is really cute black just hard to see there's the pod one again I now I love the best I wear them all the time and having a mid thigh vest to cover leggings that's actually something I only have one of and it has more of like a notch collar and not this big shawl and this feels like you're just being hugged by a blanket she made hers look so kind of architectural and chic that's super cool that's a shorter version that looks like a straight up winter coat fleece version oh and you can really see the see the belt loops are nice and substantial I love that yeah this is a full on coat for best oh there's the optional flattens yeah fun a hooded vest what do we think about a hooded vest I'm trying to think of the practicality for that then again I don't really know much anyways but on a rainy day that's kind of like like not hot but not cold maybe a hooded vest is what everybody needs this is the fully line so yeah it's constructed beautifully beautifully okay sizing is this going to be in here no I don't know where sizing is let's say what sizes there are what sizes it comes in what's this oh people are doing tiki takis on it you can't scroll past the tiktoks those at the end that also might be the end okay cute I don't know what sizes it comes in but it's alien act so it's got to be a ton of sizes I just don't see where that's written down anywhere it's always super obvious and I'm just not seeing it oh here it is sizes way down here I would like for this whole section see all these bolded areas those should have a tab that way you can just quickly see just FYI if you're watching Ellie or Mac or whoever runs Ellie and Mac or if you care about my opinion at all so for a bust 29 to 63 inches and a hip of 33 and a half to 67 so yeah really great size inclusivity there this is the wardrobe by me cocoon pants and before you guys are like writing this off immediately these are super trendy right now I'm telling you all of the girlies all the cool kids are wearing cocoon pants okay so don't write it off just yet let's figure out a way that we can make this less of this kind of hipster cool girl and more of like a cool girl that we are in our souls whatever that version of cool girl looks like for you I've seen people make these business casual I've seen them like regular casual I've seen them like in all kinds of different styles so so lean in with me okay lean in all right stylish pair of pleated pants for woven fabric in sizes 0 to 24 and 30 to 54 with the following features contoured waistband two deep pleats in the front front fly with facing deep side seam pockets back welt pockets full legs tapering at the hem instructions to lengthen cocoon pants are a trendy and comfortable style of pants they are perfect for casual wear the silhouette is loose and flowing with a relaxed fit that provides pretty room for movement the pants feature two front okay we went through that the pleats give an exciting look while the waistband adds comfort and support the deep pockets I want to know about rise that wasn't mentioned if you're an intermediate seamstress you can handle a front zipper with the fly facing and have sewn a waistband before the instructions are easy to follow step by step video will soon be on our youtube channel there's the illustration da da da da da everything that comes with it okay so no photos or indication of what the rise is but if I'm leaning in and looking at hers I'm going to say her natural waist is somewhere up here so it's it's a mid rise which is fine for this louchy look well now I don't know I think she probably has her hands on her high hip no above her high hip I don't know where she has her hands now see now I'm confused these are also is that like a suiting pant so cool I don't know I think you have to kind of guess on rise but because it's is any of that indicated here no because it's got a contoured waistband it's making me think that it is a bit of a low rise lengthen or shorten the leg so okay still nothing about rise alright so we went through this already this is probably centimeters yes alright they can be super cool and super chic these girls are all way cooler than I am but imagine let's see how would I wear it probably more like this right but not a loafer I'm not cool enough to own a loafer instead I would just do like a ballet flap type of thing but something along these lines like body suit tucked in and maybe like a big oversized shirt doing it with like a half tuck something along something like that slouchy slouchy but then give yourself a waist by tucking in part of your top something like that I think is where I go with it very intriguing very intriguing intriguing and all for $13 I thought right yeah $13.16 okay next up we have the margarelle shirt and dress from itch to stitch choose between regular and full bust versatile option for either a shirt or dress optional ruffled collar in my mind that's not optional you must do the ruffled collar stylish center front button closure long raglan sleeves so it's a unique take on a button front shirt or dress with raglan sleeves and a little like Victorian collar detail elastic sleeve hem delicate gathered neckline specifically designed for use of lightweight woven fabrics okay 00 to 40 alright that's it so this is not a little chambray businessy vibes I do like the idea of a raglan button front shirt because I do think the continuous shoulder like this is really feminine and beautiful versus when you have a set in sleigh that kind of is disruptive of our delicate female shoulders you just get a lot of pretty shape through there show me the dress I do like the back I need to see the dress immediately or this one tucked thank you so much for listening yeah yeah it is quite fitted I was surprised to see that I thought it would be a little bit more billowy and her thumb is probably causing this I know she knows how to fit herself she didn't make the dress I'm shocked maybe she just needs some more time which I understand I need more time too so you just have to envision the dress but I mean I love it I would wear this dress in a heartbeat in a heartbeat maybe not out of chambray I think you can do something a little bit more stable than lightweight not much but like you don't have to do drapey chambray you could do I think she said that because of all of these ruffles through here if you did the dress I knew it was going to float away from the body I do think you could get away with something a little bit more structured just a little bit alright great job there alright this is the Harriet Holiday dress from Patterns for Pirates $12 I think the it's just stitch are oh they're 14 I don't know why I thought they were 10 but $14 there Harriet Holiday so what a fun name fitted bodice, quarter circle skirt attached to the natural waistline so it's a sweetheart neckline skater dress can I just leave it there multiple links from Mini to Maxi fitted sleeves or bishop sleeves depending on your fabric you can do it for everyday wear a special occasion or something in between optional front slit for above for the above me does the above me need a front slit and T and Maxi link skirts oh in the event you wanted to show a little extra thigh in your new dress okay well she's yes alright and then 45 to 50% horizontal stretch and some vertical stretch for the bodice is recommended for more comfort and wearing but not absolutely necessary cotton spandex double brush Polly's always going to be on the list here rib nits medium sweater knit stretch velvet athletic nits round up on the blog post 2x through 5x okay alright okay have we been cycling through these photos the whole time so alright well this is easy enough to see that one looks like she's ready for a cruise bring it on super cute you can't really see there's a waist seam right here okay and her hair is also covering the sweetheart is there multiple there's this is scoop neck but this looks like a top and a skirt right girl is in a sun dress in the snow I absolutely love that she's freezing her boutique off beautiful sweetheart neckline so looking at these mmm I've noticed that the bodice length is a little bit long let's look at it some more and see well hers looks spot on again it's really hard to tell with tester photos because I don't know if she's made any adjustments or not and they don't tell us but she's in a sun dress in the snow too this is the time of year that people are releasing these spring dresses for the spring but man we're taking our photos outside it's going to be beautiful amazing yeah so I think there are multiple necklines but I'm a sucker for that sweetheart so pretty this one's really cute with a little bit of snow but she's got a boot and a long sleeve and I'll say even this she has a rounded shoulder can you see how it's kind of rounding down like this the sleeve placement still really good for her same here beautifully constructed this is her waist seam here that's about right three quarter length sleeve okay I don't know if she's shortened the sleeve or what but she's got a seven eighth inch length sleeve the waist seam looks good on her so I'm going to just say the waist seam is pretty good looking consistently good on most people I have this problem a lot too where skirt right up to cover my bum this is whenever you cut in a horizontal slit right through here and you widen so you almost add a little wedge right into here nothing changes with the side seam but a little wedge goes in here to make the back up here as long as the front even though it's technically longer oh there's the slit the slit is cute alright so this puts our waist well the bust too 30 to 60 the waist is 23 to 57 and here are all of our options sweetheart scoop somebody else had something that looked like a crew neck and then bishop sleeve three quarter inch sleeve short sleeve I'm sure you can even do a sleeveless oh this is the hour glass oh the hour glass figure chart interesting so if you're full busted this is for you did it I don't know maybe it says somewhere this is drafted for a fuller cup that's probably why so many of them consistently had that waist seam at the right place cause that's where people go wrong when you have a fuller bust designers will just make a longer bodice to help you get up and over your boobs that's not that's not what you need you don't need length you need fullness it's different so interesting okay cool so this is also centimeters I think adult hour glass figure size chart this is also the adult hour glass figure size chart okay so this is centimeters alright do you not get a normal size chart I guess not I don't now I'm confused you will receive yeah okay there's there's just the one then my bad I miss spoke I miss spoke extra small and then plus yeah it's just 2x s to 5x that's all there is and I guess we're you only get the the hour glass one what's the other what's the other option I don't know I don't know not that familiar with patterns for pirates I'm not sure how for sizing work I'm sure you could find it in here if you're interested anyways $12 dollars on that and then we have the reef sweatshirt from green style a little half zip I swear someone was just talking about wanting to make one of these one of my students was just talking about it so this is it I'll let your casual wardrobe trendy and versatile sweatshirt combines the convenience of a half zip or full zip with eye catching color blocking I tended to be a bit oversized and hit at the high hip yes and fabric wise they're not talking about oh get your fabric here okay cute so little raglan half zip with or without kangaroo pocket hooded stand collar and what is this how is this different than that oh half zip full zip and this must be the back yeah there is a lot of fun things to do with color blocking let's see who made the most of that give me a bigger picture here we go make yes thank you so that's all in color super cute very wearable you would throw this on all the time that's like some camo with black that's cool to hit the slopes or whatever you're doing all white or gray version for all of you that do machine embroidery you could just cut out this one piece embroider that and add it back on easy enough fun color blocking yeah this is good this looks good on everybody the link looks option looks awesome the color blocking is not weird yeah lots of different fabrics to choose from I don't even know that stretch matters I think you can do a stretch fabric or like one of those like nylon types of fabrics this is a little bit tall for me personally I would never zip that all the way up I would feel like I was being in a straight jacket but yeah that link looks really good on literally everybody I know some of you are like that's too short it's gonna highlight my belly but I promise you it doesn't it doesn't okay there's 55 pictures so let's not go through all of them we can already see this is a really good quality pattern I just love this detail too what if you put like mesh in there or something made it like a little bit more breathable I don't know so many cool options she didn't specifically talk about fabric but she did say get your fabric here so where does that take us oh green style sells fabric and these are all the fabrics that are great for that wow maybe that's what a lot of the testers use which is why it looks so good now $20 a yard I don't know about that but I will say the style maker fabrics swatch video is right around the corner guys right around the corner so I'll keep that in mind as I'm looking through what they have for that but I do think that yeah she doesn't talk about what types of fabrics I do think you can make this out of just about anything from sweatshirt fleece to French terry to nylon to anything because it's not fitted anywhere even on the hip it's not you might need some rib knit for the bands maybe this is the most close fitting for the whole thing maybe you need a rib knit for that and that's it alright that is it those are our patterns from January what do we think lots of coats, lots of transitional pieces but lots to lots that stand out as well I was trying to look at this one again to remind myself what that looked like yeah lots of lots of variety this time which is really interesting this one for sure stands out to me these two from Etsy I just wish the sizing were better yeah because they are cute and then yeah a lot of these little pullovers or at least two of them this cute thing with I hope I gave you guys some fun options for helping that detail stand out another pullover these great sweatpants honestly it's six bucks you guys have to grab these and yeah lots of good stuff but I did say variety there is some but now that I'm looking back back to back there are these pullovers, these jackets these layering pieces are all kind of showing up a bunch so check
