Love your channel! A Great homemade stain remover for your bird poop is: 2 Cups hydrogen peroxide+1 cup of BLUE Dawn. It has to be the blue Dawn. Put in spray bottle. You can even spray stains and put the garment in the laundry hamper to wash at a later time. You don't have to wash right away. I've even used it on vintage linens with old stains.
I love the blue vest!
love love the button placket hack! And so enjoying your styling clips, plus your blue booties look fabulous
Glad you like them!
It's such good advice to have your sewing space extra clean when sewing white fabric.
Super cute!
Thank you! 😊
Your dress turned out so lovely Katrina. You are so talented and inspiring. Thankyou for sharing. Your a good teacher too🌹💖😊
Thank you so much!
The dress is so pretty, I love your shoes also.
Thank you so much!
I love, love, love your intellect and creativity Karina! I love the thrift flips. I love YOU! Thank you for sharing all these videos. You spark creative ideas in my mind and for that, I am ever so grateful!
I love the all white outfit. I happen to look horrible in white but I sure like it on you.
Love all your outfits
It is fun to watch other’s videos when they say they learned to do bias tape or hemming techniques from you. I think, yep, I know her!
Hello! How exciting to find you!!
I saw your first video because of the Love Notions patterns.
Your style of sewing and teaching sewing is like mine and I look so forward to seeing more of your videos.
Thank you so much for all the time and hard work you put into these for us.
God bless you!
I love the harmony as well! Thank you for this video and the beautiful hacks😊
You are so welcome!
Oh no! Rotten bird 🤦🏼♀️ hopefully Birdy hadn’t been eating mulberries, or something equally as colourful! White is a stressful colour to wear. I love it, but you need to be constantly vigilant. Your all white outfit was really striking.
That dress was great. That splotchy fabric was a good choice. That must have been an enormously long maxi, that was a lucky find!
When I tried to on it was almost at my ankles…. Lots of length there so I could use the bottom bit :)
Your previous videos inspired me to purchase the Harmony and it is a lovely pattern. Thank you for yet more ideas. They are both brilliant!
You are so welcome!
Delivered. Fantastic
Every Friday I look to see if you have a video for the Love Notions Feature Friday. This morning I did not see a new video, but a search on Love Notions Harmony revealed one from a few years ago. As usual, your video convinced me that I could make this pattern work for me, so I used the affiliate link from your old video. So happy to see this new video tonight.
I know that running a YT channel is tons of work, but just want to say that your videos have helped me immensely. So I definitely use your link if I purchase from LN. Thank you for all of your inspiration!
Thank you so much for your support 😀😀
I wear a lot of black and have since I was a teenager. My grandmother hated it, she said I would have plenty of time to wear black when I was a widow {in my culture for that generation it was common for a widow to wear black for the rest of her life or at least 3 years anyway). 😂 But I'm divorced so I won't have that obligation. 😜 I love the faux button placket and swing style. I'm working on my only white garment now, a double gauze shacket for summer cover up. No stains yet but I still need to sew on the sleeves and do the button holes. 🤞
Thank you so much, love it
All your garments are beautiful! Loved your thrift flip. Thank you for sharing your videos! 💐
You are so welcome!
The all white outfit looked elegant.
I completely agree, very sophisticated look!
All white looks really good on you. I love to wear white too (off-white in my case cause I am an Autumn color type) in the Summer.
You are a winter coloring so, of course, black and white look great on you. I’m a winter too, and in high school I made a school bus yellow dress. Every single teacher called me up to their desk and told me privately that if I was sick, I could stay home from school. So, it probably wouldn’t be a good color for you either. It is the color that looks great on Whitney from Tomkat .
My husband thought pastels, especially pinks would be good for me. I said no. For whatever reason at Easter I purchased a beautiful pastel pink sweater set with pearl buttons, it was stunning and expensive. The first time I wore it he thought I was ill! I gave it away. Isn't it funny how a perfectly nice color can look so wrong on some people and so good on others?
That happened to me with a sunny yellow jumper at high school!! First time I realised how colour can affect how you look. Got my colours done in the 80s, and yes, I'm Winter.
The white outfit is beautiful, but so is the one with the summer caye pants! I appreciate how you describe the processes. I have the Harmony and now I’m inspired to hack it. Everything is 👌🏻❤️.
You can do it!
Your thrift flip turned out so well. Those are definitely your colors. Your simple (but not too simple) white top will get a lot of use. Very nice.
Oh thank you!
Oh my gosh, I'm so going to use that button placket hack! love it. And your thrift flip looks absolutely fab!!
Yay! Thank you!
Love them both. I'm really enjoying watching your thrifted garments being transformed into some chic new items.❤
I love the dress you made from the Harmony top pattern! Such a clever innovation & that fabric was marvelous looking. The style is perfect for the hot & sweaty weather we’re currently having in much of the U.S. this summer.😅 I’m the same about wearing white. I always have to say to myself, “You’re going to wash this garment after you wear it today because it’s going to get dirty.”😂 I nearly always get tea stains on myself.😵💫
The swish and space let all the air inside the dress and that’s so fresh :) I know I’m going to be washing this white top every time 🤓
I can't wear white at all. I am a coffee drinker and it never fails that I get dressed and spill my coffee on me. The blouse and dress look beautiful!
Do you happen to have a video list of how to sew, needles, serger settings on the slippery thin woven's?
I like your all white combo - very chic!
I love this swing style for you.
I just found a piece of rayon in my stash (can’t remember buying it or what I was planning) that is perfect for the Harmony. There is enough for a dress - maybe even a maxi (I’m only 5 feet tall). I knew you would have an example of changing the top to a dress. Thank you!
lovely, Harmony flattering silhouette on you :)
Thank you! Cheers!
What a great idea to use the fabric below the neckline to make a top. Your extended top looks fab ❤ Next time I’m charity clothes shopping I’ll keep an eye out for longer dresses so I can give this a go 😊
Try peroxide to get the stain out. Beautiful top!
Love that thrifted hack! Those buttons are so interesting on the top!
I think so too!
Love your Harmony hack with the button placket! I’m very much enjoying your refashion makes and multiple ways you style your outfits. ❤
I'm so glad!
Going to file this away for when the time is right. I remember the gathered red Harmony. Waiting to get my sewing experience to that level. Love todays makes ❤🇨🇦 👍
Sounds great!
I love both outfits!
How pretty!
Use plain dishwashing soap diluted with water and just dab & wipe until it’s gone. I love white clothes and bought that pattern today. Going to see if I can source some white rayon twill now. 👏
sometimes you need to hang things up indoors to get them to dry without birds and other things dropping on your special material garments. a small clothes airer can be the way to go.
Love these ideas. This is the top pattern I’ve been looking for. I’m on it!! ❤❤🎉
Thank you for this tutorial! I immediately bought the Harmony top and can’t wait to start my new top and or dress. Love the fake placket idea! You always give such good tips!! Thank you again!!
Have fun!
Hello, thank you for making this video. Can you share the name of the wide pants you were wearing with the white terra tunic @6:23?
Icaria pants from Itch to stitch. I have a video about them only a few days ago :)
Hi Katrina. I just checked love notions for the laundry day tee and it is no longer a free pattern on their site. When I logged in it posted as $0 and went to the cart and it showed a price. 😢
You need to join the Facebook group. In the pinned post, there’s a code to get it for free. I can’t just say what the code is because it’s free for joining the fb group.
I just got Laundry Day Tee free. I added it to my cart with the Harmony, using Katrina's link, and underneath I signed up for the email newsletter and it automatically gave me a code to use at the checkout to get the Laundry Day Tee for free.
