    I was never taught to use flesh toned fabric for facings when the main fabric is a little sheer, until I saw it on your channel. What a brilliant idea! I've since utilized this treatment and LOVED the outcome! Thanks for sharing 😊

      Yea, the skintone fabric as lining makes ir still appear translucent without truly being translucent. White fabric as lining brightens the translucent fabric and give an appearance of more opacity. It’s so fun to manipulate these properties to carry out your vision.

      Someone told me over 40 years ago to use pink or blue. I found blue worked better for me. Same way for bras. I had used white in a blouse and I hated the look of it.

      I agree. This is a great idea. Will have to try it. I have very pale 'English rose' type skin with a lot of blue veins showing (despite living in Australia all my life!) so it will be interesting to match up a fabric.

    Seigaiha are meant to be/represent calm waves, a super traditional geometric design. Depending on the design (two or three "rows" within a wave) it can look a little bit like the wifi-signal though!
    I love how you used it on your top, it looks incredible!

    Wow. God listens to prayer. :) Sis and I are just becoming interested again in embroidery after our grandmother started us out as children...... So special a memory, and we didn't expect to do it ever again. But we are now seeing it differently, and sis esp. interested in SASHIKO - couldn't believe you included it today! Perfect use for it, BTW. The concept of your video is superb. I am an almost-beginner after many years of not sewing, and now finding myself gaining confidence with online tutorials and very simple patterns. I too tend to sew skirts and overlook blouses, and was thinking about simple blouse PDF pattenrs, just before your video popped up! (No coincidences.) Many thanks. I feel already that you are a friend across the miles, having viewed your lovely videos before and recently subscribed. Your quiet and beautiful taste is cheering. BLESSINGS from the USA.

    I really loved everything about this video. I’m very “old school” in my own sewing and appreciate attention to interior finishing as well as choosing really nice fabrics…even for a simple tee such as the Hansie pattern. I joined Seamwork a few weeks ago, so this video really caught my eye. Unbelievably, I have also accumulated pattern blocks, thread, needles, and fabric to learn Sashiko embroidery. I lived in Japan over 30 years ago and loved everything about my time there. So it seems today was my lucky day that so many of my interests unexpectedly popped up in your lovely video. Thankyou!

    Hi Sarah! Your Hansie tops are absolutely lovely. I recently made one but was disappointed in the outcome, which I now realize was due to fabric choice; it definitely requires a drapey fabric, and I plan to give it another go after seeing how well your tops turned out.
    The biggest takeaway from your video, in my opinion, was your recommendation to use a skin-colored (whatever your skin color might be) fabric on the facing of translucent fabrics. Providing information such as that to new sewists is invaluable! Your facing blended into the background and allowed the simple shape of the top to take center stage. Thank you for all the great ideas.

    • @Sarah_Naomi
      @Sarah_Naomi  2 месяца назад

      Hello and thank you so much! I'm sorry your first try with this pattern didn't go so well with a stiffer fabric, I imagine that makes it a bit more boxy and the sleeves a little pointier, right? I hope your next try is a success!
      Thanks for your feedback on the see-through fabric tip, it was a game-changer when I learned it and I'm so glad it's helpful to others! Your kind words make my day 😊

I have copied a ready to wear top from years ago that is basically the same style. I have made numerous variations, that are all different due to what the fabric 'says' I also have an adapted version for knits. Your tops are beautiful

    My happiness at having this pop up in my feed this morning was unreal. I’ve never made a top before, my sewing projects have been, uh, diverse … so the Hansie top was going to be my first foray into tops. And then you come along with this! Wonderful! If you want to continue using sashiko in clothing, I believe you can purchase pattern sheets in larger dimensions for easier transfer. To save you some time and frustration 😅

    Thankyou for sharing such lovely makes! They all turned out gorgeous and very inspirational. Such useful tips as well. I have a more or less exact pattern that I drafted myself, the key is the bust darts as it fits much better with them. I tried several cap sleeve patterns first but the fit was awful so I’m glad I manage to draft my own. The simple style is perfect for embellishments as your lovely sashiko! I embellished one of mine with some applique and single block prints with textile paint. I use biasbinding for my neckline and for the one with applique I used the same fabric as the applique and turned it to the right side to get another detail.

      Thank you and welcome! The style I mentioned with the stripes or Sashiko embroidery starting lower down is the French « marinière » style that was first a uniform style in the French navy (in the 19th century, I think) and made popular in everyday clothes by many fashion designers of the 20th century, but especially the designer John Paul Gautier 😊

    I am a tall girl with most of my height in my torso. It’s quite frustrating to try and find tops that fit and won’t ride up when Lifting my arms. Because of this problem, I’ve been considering learning how to sew clothing. It does seem intimidating and although I do have a machine (for minor clothing repairs) I’m not sure if I have what it takes to make my own clothing. Where to start? Your video was informative and fun watching. Thank you.

      Hello and yes, making your own clothes sounds like a great solution for you! Most sewing patterns include shorten/lengthen lines where you can cut and spread the pattern to make it the length you want, and I’m sure you can find many online tutorials with a simple search. And you already have a machine, it would be relatively easy to give sewing a try, with this Hansie Top pattern for example!

    Hello Sarah, you’ve made these up so beautifully! The sashiko looks wonderful against that blue and everything looks so elegant on you!
    I agree with you about the perfect shape of this top; I am short waisted and am always looking for a relaxed fit that isn’t boxy to make a garment that is slightly more elevated than a knit tee shirt. I thought I had found it in the Marilla Walker Maya top (view A) but alas when I sewed it up I did something wrong with the neck facing and puckered it so that it lay sort of ripple-y. (Necklines and sleeves are my nemesis!).
    It was interesting to see you sew it from the wrong side, and I also notice the care and attention you pay to each step. So I’m going to bookmark this video and attempt your simplest version over the winter. As always you provide beautiful and skilled inspiration for my sewing journey 😊
    Enjoy the travels to see your family! Safe journey x

      Also; I made mine out of a linen that I think was too heavy, now that I see these beautiful cottons you have used. I will keep my eye out for something light and try the seamworks pattern. Thank you so much.

    Maybe my favorite video yet! ❤ adore the sashimi and am tempted to give it a go as I am in Japan and could probably find lessons or a kit to start. I think this pattern works well in light weight fabrics, which is what I need in my wardrobe too. So I may download the pattern and make a sashiko blouse as I already have a white and a navy fabric that 1 meter each- just enough 😅. Have a great vacation! BTW, You make a delightful ambassador for Seamworks’ beginners!

    I have been cautious about using a Frixion pen to mark on the right side of fabric because the lines disappear with great but can come back again in the cold.
    I did a test on cotton in the freezer and yellow marks appeared.

    Did you make the white peasant shirt you are wearing in the video? I have looking for that kind of patten and fabric to make a top like that. If so, can you share the pattern and the material used? the weight?...did you have to underline that one?
    I'm glad to have found your site. Enjoyed the above video. I think I want to underline the Seamwork Emmie, (modern peasant top), and may try to either use the muslin I cut to test it or I have some light weight voile. The material I'm using for the Emma is a light weight cotton voile and it is transparent so...as you said a cami underneath would probably work just fine, but it would be nice to just have it all as one...idk....I was thinking with the underlining the French seam might be too bulky but I see from your video above that it can actually work. Thank you!

      Hello and yes, I made the white peasant blouse I'm wearing in the video, it's the Seamwork Loretta top that I made in an embroidered cotton years ago and I still wear it every summer!
      The Seamwork Emmie top looks really interesting and I've been thinking of making it too. I think it would look lovely in a cotton voile over a cami if it turns out too transparent. Underlining it seems definitely possible too! 😊
