Can’t wait to see what you come up with in 2023! I’d love to see you start with a basic block and come up with new ideas. Thanks for all the work you do!
I too draft and hack most of my patterns which is why your channel is my favorite sewing channel. I look forward to seeing what you will create in 2023. Happy Holidays!!
All the clothes you made are beautiful. I really like your square neck tee. This style is not easy to find, but it flatters my body and face shape greatly. I don't have the patience to make clothes from scratch. Usually I would buy a piece of clothing that is as close to my expectation as possible, then alter it to fit me perfectly. It is a lot of fun to make clothes the way I like instead of buying a lot of trendy clothes and only wear them once or twice as I don't really like them.
Hey Casey .. where is your awesome Poppy blouse? That's the one I want to make soon. It's an amazing pattern and it was 2022. You hit it out of the park with that one.
I always get inspired by your sewing practice. Knowing how to edit yourself is such a skill. I went thrifting today and could hav honestly come back with so much but I really thought about how each piece would fit in with what I already have and how much I would actually wear it. Same with sewing. I see something and I really want to make it because it looks like fun, but it’s really not my style. Looking forward to what you’re making in 2023
Thank you for sharing your life and making our days even better, you are a beautiful and sweet person, I love your simplicity and warmth, have a Merry Christmas 🎉 and an amazing end of the year 💕
Interesting comments about stepping back from Instagram allowing you more creativity and confidence in your work. I can relate to that! Thank you for sharing your great tips, tools, and process. It's interesting to see what you are up to week by week. Happy Holidays!
Yes, stepping away from Instagram has been great for me! I do not miss it at all haha. Thanks so much for watching, so glad you're enjoying it. Happy holidays to you! :)
That first dress! I remember you making that and I have to agree with you, it’s a definite highlight. I’m always inspired by what you do, even if it’s tidying up your sewing space. 😊. I’m glad you included your simple rib knit tanks…I had forgotten that I wanted to try one. I’m not a very adventurous sewist, but I always appreciate your approach and your “out loud” thinking as you work through a project. Best wishes to you this holiday. 💕
I totally hear you on having more thought, intention, and time spent on each piece. I'm finally getting there myself. Not feeling like I have to reinvent the wardrobe wheel, as you say, is so freeing.I love these makes!...I may have to try a mesh shirt...
I really like the trench coat (and the original blazer it's based on - definitely would've snatched that up at the thrift store, too! ☺️) It might be daunting to make that coat into a pattern for the masses, but I really like the look of it. The ease in the fit is flattering, gives the coat an un-self-conscious "cool girl" vibe. Maybe put it on your "patterns to make and sell" list at some point in the future? Would love it! 😊
Thank you! Yes I love that coat--maaaaybe one day I'll get the energy to make it into a pattern haha. The problem is, I get so excited about the next project, it's hard to stay focused on one long term! haha
Just bought your comfi tee pattern a few days ago. The goal is to dupe your mesh mock turtle neck with this white ribbed knit fabric I found on clearance because the way that shirt turned out is just too CUTE! Wish me luck!
Oooh that sounds so perfect!! I would like to make that mock neck in different fabrics and rib knit would be awesome. Good luck! Hope you love it! And thanks for trying it out!
What a creative year! It’s a treat to follow along. ☺️ I *may* have squealed a little about the Comfi square neck expansion…it’s something I was meaning to hack myself, but haven’t gotten around to it, so I will happily take the lazy way around! Also, love the lights on your peg board!
Thanks for following along! I've been making so many of those square neck tees, I just have to make it a pattern! I got a little festive with the lights for the holidays but I might leave them up--makes it feel more cozy in there! :)
I discovered your channel this year and already made a few things inspired by your videos :) And of course had to buy the comfi set pattern to hack it some more. Thank you very much for your content
I have moved my sewing space this week to one combo office area. My company work is slowly moving to semi retired and I was using a small space in a guest bedroom. Your updates inspired me and serger is on the same long desk ready to move from only quilt design and creation to some garment designs. I don’t have illustrator, but photoshop. I’m so glad to have found your channel recently. Love your content and educational style. Merry Christmas and be warm.
Merry Christmas Case! I love everything you do! I think that your approach to garment making stems from your architects' heart. Makes perfect sense. Happy New Year to you and your husband and families! Can't wait to see what you do next!
Ah you had so many great makes this year! I think my fave of yours were the mesh tops--I really enjoyed watching your process! It's definitely inspired me to work with the patterns I have and get creative with hacking them! Happy Holidays and Happy New Year to you and yours!
Thank you so much for your knowledge, inspiration and positive words. You’re teaching methods have inspired me to revisit sewing clothing for myself. I’ve accomplished more this year than any other year, and I attribute that to. I look forward to 2023.
Great round up and reflections, Casey. You’ve definitely created a cohesive, practical but also fun wardrobe and it’s been fun to be able to see it all come together over the year. I don’t remember if those green pants were included in the top 5, but for me, they’re up there! Have a very blessed and Merry Christmas and New Year! X
I LOVE pattern hacking and am dipping my toe into drafting as well. It's so much fun!!!😊 Thanks for the inspiration, have a fabulous festive season, see you next year!
Casey, I love watching your videos and have the Comfi Tee and pants pattern. I plan to make some pjs. Merry Christmas and happy snowcopolypse from a fellow Michigander.
the outfits are soo gooooood on you!! you are really inspiring to sew one's own wardrobe! can definitely relate to losing interest in a project due to weather changes 😄 I start wanting to sew a winter coat when it's already cold
I love to draft my own patterns but I’m new to the Indy sewing patterns as well as renewed sewing passion so I do some of both. I love to upcycle and use fabric that I’ve thrifted. You’re drafting is an inspiration, thank you! Looking forward to the new year.
Just a quick comment about your trench coat that you didn't think was warm enough to wear in colder weather... I wear a fleece (non hooded) jacket under my lighter coats if the weather is cooler than expected. It is light enough to be inconspicuous under the coat but keeps your body cozy. Something to consider since your coat is too nice to sit in the closet!
Hello, I’m a new subie. I recently purchased a sewing machine due to spending so much money having alterations to my waist(I can’t never find the perfect pants or jeans that fit me in my waist). Do you have a tutorial on bringing in the waist and shortening the length of the pants?
I'm so glad! Thanks, Karina! And I don't give a full rundown on every aspect of illustator, but I cover everything I do to draft in the program and the tools I use the most, so a total beginner could follow along, I think. 🙌
I designed the straps to work with my regular every day bra, but I also wear it without a bra and use a product called "nippies" for a little coverage :)

Your Green Lace dress is absolutely beautiful. And the Mesh tops are so chic and versatile. Thank you for sharing🙂
Thank you, Tamar!
Can’t wait to see what you come up with in 2023! I’d love to see you start with a basic block and come up with new ideas. Thanks for all the work you do!
Thank you! I really would love to do more of that kind of thing as well!

I love that, thank you for watching!! Happy holidays to you! :)
I found myself in “OMG WANT!” mode for the entire video. Subscribed!
Yay!! So glad, thank you!

Haha that one is another good one! Honestly, I liked so many things I made this year! It was hard to narrow it down :) Thanks so much, Susan!
I absolutely adore the square neck T's!
Thank you so much! Glad you are enjoying it!
I find your videos so inspiring and I appreciate the idea of sitting with our own inspiration more than constantly seeking outside sources. Thank you.
Thank you! So glad you enjoy them :)

Yes! Tank top version of the dress please!!

Thank you so much, Ann!! Stay warm out there! ☃️❄🥶 Merry Christmas!
Well done 👩🌾
the outfits are soo gooooood on you!! you are really inspiring to sew one's own wardrobe! can definitely relate to losing interest in a project due to weather changes 😄 I start wanting to sew a winter coat when it's already cold
Thank you! Yes those shorter seasons (spring/fall) get me almost every time! haha :)
I love to draft my own patterns but I’m new to the Indy sewing patterns as well as renewed sewing passion so I do some of both. I love to upcycle and use fabric that I’ve thrifted. You’re drafting is an inspiration, thank you! Looking forward to the new year.
Great pieces
Thanks! :)

Love your makes! You are soooooo talented! Will you be making a pattern for the beautiful mesh blouse? I sure home so!
Ah thanks so much!! No plans to turn that into a pattern at the moment, but maybe one day? :)
Hello, I’m a new subie. I recently purchased a sewing machine due to spending so much money having alterations to my waist(I can’t never find the perfect pants or jeans that fit me in my waist). Do you have a tutorial on bringing in the waist and shortening the length of the pants?
Thanks for subscribing! I don't have tutorials for those alterations yet, sorry!
I really enjoyed those projects this year. They were very inspiring. Question: do I need prior knowledge in illustrator to take your sloper class?
I'm so glad! Thanks, Karina! And I don't give a full rundown on every aspect of illustator, but I cover everything I do to draft in the program and the tools I use the most, so a total beginner could follow along, I think. 🙌
What kind of bra can I wear with the tank?
I designed the straps to work with my regular every day bra, but I also wear it without a bra and use a product called "nippies" for a little coverage :)
