    I bought the Itch to Stitch Belize shorts in Summer 2021 on Whitney's recommendation, but I didn't get around to sewing my first pair until Summer 2022. I sewed up 2 pair last year and neither pair fits this year. I have lots of other shorts patterns in my stash, but I agree the Belize is a versatile pattern and it has been my go-to this season. The flat front waistband with elastic on the back makes fitting easy and forgiving for my perimenopausal weight fluctuations. Depending on the fabric, it can look dressy or casual. I found out that I only need a yard of fabric (55" wide) for my size (14) have made up several pairs with various 1 yard remnants I had lying around. I have made them up in light weight denim, stretch twill, linen and even lengthened the legs for a flowy pair of pants in a drapey rayon linen blend. Currently, I have a pair in JoAnn white hopsack linen on my machine. It's another remnant that I have had for several years. This fabric is the thickest I've used and I'm curious how it will work.

    Your channel is a huge inspiration for me. I just wanted to thank you for reminding us that you are a very fast sewist. It’s taken me roughly a year to realize that (through NO fault of your own) I was feeling a little less, as you kindly put it, for sewing slowly. This year I’m enjoying the process as much as the end product. Your reminder to us is so kind. ❤

    Love all your makes and the colors for each item are perfect for each piece. I compare my sewing speed right now to a snail with a backpack loaded with books on his back. I’m ok with that because my first pair pants to go out vacation are 95% finished and vacation isn’t until October. Seriously though I learned a lot sewing these pair of pants. I’m excited to start the next pair.

    I did fail to mention how lovely you look in that "Itch to Stitch" "Tustin" dress!! I have the pattern, and cannot wait until I am able to sew-I'm hoping even though I am the opposite of you (I am a "pear"), and have a 12" difference between my hips and waist that it will still look ok on me!! Fingers crossed!!
    I bet your mom would look fabulous in it, as well!!
    Thank you for all you do, and I am going to call around and see if any of our bigger fabric shops would be interested in hosting an event with you and Jenni(sp)-I always forget the spelling of her name! Sorry...

    I totally agree with you about wearing knit dresses on road trips. They are more comfortable than anything in woven fabric with a crotch. I feel so good to look good at rest stops and when I arrive. It may be my imagination, but I also think the perception of wearing a dress being ladylike actually leads to better customer service. 😊

    I would so be willing to head to Kansas City if you ever decide to use your folks as a base for a traveling class. 😊 How about instead of you supplying the fabric and notions for a traveling class, how about putting together a needs/order list of what fabric/notions are needed with maybe some shopping links? Kind of like a back to school supplies list. My local JoAnn has some classroom space, but choices of garment fabric can be very limiting depending on season.

    What an inspirational collection of makes, Whitney! One important truth I’ve learned from watching your channel is that, yes, you are a very fast sewist! I also have learned that if you stick with the Indie pattern companies which you’ve perfected your personal “fit” from (for me it is Love Notions, Cashmerette, and Itch to Stitch) and follow your lead to batch cut, you can speed up the process a bit. I can’t help it but I love to venture out from time to time to try something new or more challenging…sometimes that involves one of the Big 4 patterns… and then I could spend weeks making a garment! I’m in love with that Tempo sundress! I would not have guessed it was a Rayon Challis Twill! Here I go, off the the UK in cyberspace, to buy more fabric! 😊

They are so nostalgic for me because I started watching you around the time we made a big move for my husband's work in 2018. Anyway, you were such a pro from the beginning. But it's super weird to watch you talk about liking to wear light gray! 😂

      I think the viscose jersey from Minerva would be lovely on the Tidal! You may want to dry it when you wash it to help pull it back into shape (I do this on my Ponte ones as well), but I think it would wear beautifully!

    All your makes are amazing on you. I need to make shorts and have the Belize pattern, but my hip size now falls beyond the max size. Do you know whether there are plans to release this pattern in the fuller size range that newer patterns have? Any tips on adding on a couple of inches beyond a pattern size? I have the Brampton pattern as well - would you suggest doing a sort of mashup to get the Belize in a larger size?

      @TomKatStitchery  Год назад +1

      I'm not sure if she plans to release the Belize in the full size range or not. However, she has expanded some of the older patterns. I would reach out and ask her. It might be that she just needs to know that there is an interest in that being expanded!

    The denim shorts are awesome! Did you have any trouble making the buttonhole. I have a Bernina 570, and I just could not get the buttonholes to work on the waistband. I think it is because of uneven surface of seam allowance. Just curious if you had any issues.

    • @TomKatStitchery
      @TomKatStitchery  Год назад +1

      I didn't have any issues on these pairs, but this is a lighter weight denim - probably the lightest I would use for this pattern. That being said, I hammer the living daylights (with a mallet) out of all my seams and my waistband before attempting the buttonhole. This compresses the layers of thickness and moves through the machine so much easier!

    I love all your June makes. I’m trying to transition from wearing all knit tops to wearing a combination of knit & woven tops & from always wearing some type of jeans to wearing other fabrics like linen for pants. I like the look but the ironing, Whitney, the ironing! 😂 My linen is wrinkling A Lot more than yours. Is there a type of linen that you find wrinkles a bit less? Will you have to iron the sundress?

    • @TomKatStitchery
      @TomKatStitchery  Год назад +1

      For my linen, I just embrace the rumple. That being said, I wash all of my clothes on cold in the washing machine and then air dry them. I'll then pop my linen pieces into the dryer for a few minutes to release any major creases. Sometimes I still have to hit them with an iron, but I don't worry about the rumple. That's one of the reasons I love linen! With the sundress (cotton). I'll do the same. However, usually with the gathered/tiered skirts, the fullness eliminates the need for ironing. I iron VERY infrequently.

    Love all the makes, especially the Tempo dress. Is the cotton sateen slippery to sew with? I'm so bummed that I can't attend The Sewing Academy show. If it was a different day or in the early afternoon I'd be okay. Maybe next time.

    • @TomKatStitchery
      @TomKatStitchery  Год назад +1

      The sateen isn't slippery at all. The sateen is just a smooth finish on the right side of the fabric. It gives it a bit of a sheen, but because it's cotton, it's still grippy.

      I actually have an inseam I prefer on my leg that has less to do with proportion and more to do with the thigh crawl. I find that, on my leg, a 4" - 5" inseam is long enough that the fullest part of my thigh isn't grabbing the hem when I walk 😂.
