I love this type of shirt. It is so classy and feminine. Thank you for teaching us how to do this in an easy way.
You took the words right out of my brain
Fabulous video! And the depth of the cowl neck top you made is just right: stylish, and not too deep.
Hi Alisa, I started to sew a cowl neck (waterfall neck) top for the holidays in december, based on a paid pattern. The front bodice seemed so complicated that I never would have imagined that it would be possible to draft it myself. But once again you delivered an amazing tutorial, translating complex looking drafting into something achievable. I'll add this to my drafting to do list, I have to try this out. Thank you!
Gabriella, oh yes, I remember! I ma so glad that this is useful and gave you another perspective on it, the Members Extra video on this topic is even more in-depth and makes it super easy for both - knits and woven fabric.
I was waiting for this one! Thank you. You do make things simple.
Thank you so much Alisa for this video. It is so great.
Also shall we all appreciate her ability of drawing. It was so soothing to watch you drawing. Love and respect. ❤️
This has been by far the simplest and best tutorial I have seen for this style. Definitely going to try it out. Thanks so much for sharing 🤗
You are so amazing! You make your videos in a way that makes me think, that Incan do that too. You are a great teacher. Thank you
Great series! I am learning to sew and I only get a little bit of time during weekends for building my skills. Your videos are helping me learn and expanding my thought process of bringing the garment together even before I start sewing the pieces together. Thank you so much 💖
Thank you! I’m learning so much from you. After sewing for over 50 years, I’m finally learning how to be creative and imaginative with my sewing. 💕
Lynn, that is so awesome! I think we all have it in us, sometimes we just don't have enough time and then life happens, you know how it goes - but I am happy you found this useful and I hope you have fun with it! :)
You're such a beautiful human, very thorough, concise and very creative. Thank you so much.🙏❤️
Thank you SO MUCH for this. I was looking for a cowl neck tutorial hoping you would have made one because there aren't many good resources for it out there. Just in time!
Another great video. This served as a great refresher for me!!
Love this video, always wanted to make one like this, and it is good that you make it from the block you already have. I have a few blocks now so I'm going to do this one thank you
Fabulous as always, I’m a big fan of cowl necks.
Thank you! So happy this is useful😊
This is THE BEST EVER. . .!
Thank you for sharing!
Oh fabulous, absolutely love a cowl neck top, thank you so much x
Beautiful tutorial thank you. I think I know what will be my next self drafted project
You are the absolute best. I understand better because you explain it all. Thank you.
I LOVE your videos and I'm saving them all. I'm curious, is that an award from RUclips that you have on your wall?
I have one tiny comment: you speak so quickly that in the beginning it sounds like you say "Awful Creativity" instead of "Thoughtful" creativity. LOL
I anxiously await your videos and I've learned a lot from you, Thank you very much for your work.
I thought the same !!! OMG lol
I love how you break down your draft and, are able to draft from a previous block 😳 not to mention you are such a beautiful artist! Thank you.
Thank you so much would you be able to do a video for how to draft a and sew a corset top from measurements till the end I appreciate ❤️🙏
Love love love it! Cowl necks are next to v-necks my absolute favorites - so happy that I'll be able to draft my own variation thanks to your video :)
I am so happy! Yay! Also there is a Members Extra video about how to do the same for the woven block too, I know you said it was easier to find woven fabric where you live - so I hope that helps! :)
@@ThoughtfulCreativity you truly are thoughtful - thank you so much, Alisa! Btw today I started another a-line woven skirt from your tutorial. Slightly altered now that I skilled up, it's such a great base for a hassle free skirt :)
@@vivenna so great to hear! You are right, they are so hassle free, oh, and keep that pattern draft for the A line skirt - you will be able to use it as the base for the upcoming wrap skirt tutorial, that blue with flowers that is shared with Members a few days ago. Oh oh... Speaking of aline skirts - you can also draft one using a circle skirt method, usually it is 1/4 or 1/8 of a circle. So many possibilities, he he :)
@@ThoughtfulCreativity oh awesome, that wrap skirt looks fabulous! Really looking forward to some summery skirts this year :)
Yay! My favourite top thank you!💖
There is also a New Members Extra also uploaded with more detailed info :) I hope you enjoy!
You made a beautiful neckline on your tester; and, that neckline should look beautiful on you. My left shoulder is one inch lower and one inch shorter than my right shoulder. V necks don't work for me. Square necks and high necklines usually work. However, I have never tried a COWL neck; because, I think it will pull to the left (my shorter/lower side) and drop off my left shoulder (as all V necks do). A shoulder pad (worn on the left side only) helps; but, I hate wearing them. Thank you for this educational video.
Ty for sharing always ur amazing job . I’ve a new serger .The lower looper thread keep broken . If u’ve some advice pls let me know
Hi Alisa, could you make it more fitted to the neck by not shortening the shoulder, Thanks Elaine
I like it,
Would love to see you make a simple wrap skirt that looks like the Rip skirt.
How do you determine the depth of the cowl neckline❓For example if we want to raise the drape by 1.5 inches or lower it by 1.5 inches, exactly where would that alteration be made❓
Great videos, I just found your channel and your explanations are so clear and concise. I can't wait to draft and make new clothes. What is the roll of paper you use called?
Mary-Ann, hello there and welcome! It is called "medical paper" and I get it on Amazon, I have a link for it under most of my vids, just not underneath this particular Knit Bodice Block series :) one roll is good for me for about 6-10 months and I do a TON of pattern drafting.
@@ThoughtfulCreativity thank you. I found it. It was what I had thought, I just wanted to be sure. Have a wonderful week.
Awesome! Have a wonderful week as well :)
Why is a facing needed on a knit fabric top? Just for extra info. What benefit does it give to the top?
👍❤️
Can this pattern be used fr non stretch/knit material? Something falling like silk, gorgette or satin?
Hello Alisa, Your skill and explanations are exceptional. I joined your membership group because I wanted to help support your continued videos. I also want printed instructions. However I cannot find instructions for the basic block knit block pattern. Where can I find it? Keep up the excellent work...and thank you.
Hello there, Dolores! First of all - thank You so much for joining and letting me be a [art of your sewing journey! I truly appreciate that! For the Instructions sheets - those are on google drive, you can find the link on the Membership tab on my channel when you click on "see perks". Then when Google drive opens up - click on the "Instruction sheets" folder and you will see "knit bodice block" PDF there. You can sort all pdf file in ABC order and that will make it easier. If you're still not sure how and where to find google drive, just watch this video till the very end (very important to watch it till the end) - ruclips.net/video/uP9qSamkVkk/видео.html let me know if you need more help :)
Got it. Thanks for the instructions. You are wonderful. @@ThoughtfulCreativity
What paper do you use please
hi can you do a video about pregnancy clothes and more? thank you...
would the principle be the same with woven fabrics? thanks
I was wondering the same thing. Also would it work on winter weight fabrics as we are coming into winter in the southern hemisphere?
Thankyou for your tutorials, You are a wonderful teacher and you are certainly teaching this old dog some new tricks.
Hi 👋 What if I want a deeper cowl (lower cleavage)? Do I lower the bodice block neckline before the step of cutting and spreading apart? I don’t want a lot of volume, just a little lower.
If you havent already done this - yes. Go down to the bust apex line rather than chest line
