    Anyone wondering about the sleeve length, the creator said it’s 30cm by 30cm, or 50cm by 30cm if you want longer sleeves.
    However, lots of commenters had issues with the neckline… the creator said she was going to make a video explaining it, but apparently no video has been created since. Just FYI before you start this project!

    You might want to mention to buy a light fabric, like challis, voile, silky prints, and similar fabrics; medium to heavy fabrics won't drape right, and you can't use a heavier fabric like brocades unless you get some structure into the garment with facings and a lining or underlayment .

    You may want to mention that this works best with an all over print, and a drapey, lightweight fabric. A one way print will not work with this method, unless you are cool with the print running different ways in the front and back.

  • @honoraryazian
    @honoraryazian 5 лет назад +4

    Hello! I love the tutorial, it was very helpful and easy to understand. I do have a question about the step after you cut the sleeves. To sew the edges together, do you open up the fabric and sew both edges under the sleeves separately? Or do you sew it all together while it's still folded? It seems to me we would have to open and then sew two times. In the video and tutorial though it looked like you only did it once?

    • @thepolkadotter

      Hello there! The neck area is definitely a little bit tricky. I’m making an update on this video and will show a close up of that part.

      The Polkadotter Hi, yes I was also wondering about the neck! Did you just cut straight up the front of the fabric and have it just hang around the neck?! I’m quite confused now about how this is done and for it to look as nice as yours does!! Have you made the other video yet to show us how the neck is done in more detail please? I hope so as I found this video very good to follow apart from the neck part😕I really want to make myself a couple of these but don’t want to start until I know exactly how to do it properly. Thanks though, I’m definitely a new subscriber🥰👍🏻

      Hey there! You have to sew the sleeves one at the time, otherwise you’ll stitch the 4 layers together. Hope I could help 😘❤️

  • @missinggrahamlacher
    @missinggrahamlacher 5 лет назад +4

    Thanks for this super-simple project! I made a practice version of it out of a cotton bedsheet, which isn't as light as what you used. Two problems that I want to fix: puckers in the armpits because of the 90 degree angle (I'll try cutting a curve next time) and the neck. I can't decide whether to also cut a curve at the neck as well and try to hem that or to use a bias tape finish. What do you recommend? I'm sure I could make it work well with the kind of super light, flowy material you used, but I really want to make some that have more heft.
    Because my bedsheet version had a lot of extra, NOT flowy fabric in the front, I wound up folding it back, tacking the corners at the sideseams and top stitching that toward bottom of the garment, which created a lapel-looking front that I top stitched from the neck down to a certain point and then left open for pockets. It's comfortable and stylish and the pockets are handy. I just need to fix the neck and armpits next time!

    • @thepolkadotter
      @thepolkadotter  5 лет назад +2

      Hello there! First of all, I would love to see your final result! Then, yes the armpits get a little bit strange because of the 90 degree level cut, if you make it a little curvy it will work much much better. About the neck, I never tryied making it round but I'll definitly give it a shot next time, cause the result will probably be much better too! Thank you so much for watching and spend the time writing your comment! 😘❤️

    Quick question: when I try to do the hem for the back of the neck are it gets wrinkled up. How do you keep the lines clean/do you make the hem around the whole neck and the straight lines on the front?
    I hope I make sense.
    Thank you

      @@t.d.peterson6353 I had to really sort it out. When I mad the cut up the middle, I also cut about 2-3 inches across the top like a t.
      Then I folded it over and made a hem across the top. Let me know if that helps if not I can email you a pic of what I mean.
