Hi Michelle, I'm a fan of WBM patterns, and I'm imagining the Cocoon pants for summer in a tumbled cotton or lightweight canvas and pale color. I signed up for the year of Closet Core Crew patterns; they have been planned to be a year of pieces that all work together, and I've always found their patterns to be very wearable for me. The first two months' patterns have been sent to the printers 😉Thanks for the roundup!
Thanks for the feedback on WBM and Closet Core! I love Closet Core - some of my favorite makes are from them. I haven't made anything from WBM yet - but maybe soon!
I really like patternscout patterns, I'm size 14D bust 16 bellow in her sizing. She has amazing instructions, often even sewalongs. I've made 3 of her patterns and have others waiting on my desk. I'd really recommend her
@MichelleSewsAgain I did the Fern top, Brigit tee and Romy wrap dress and will be making the Byrdie button up and a blouse I forgot the name of (ups 😄 ). I only had to make minimal adjustments in terms of my apex so moving darts etc. I really like that she has separate pieces for c or d cup size. I'm a D so it is amazing to not have to do FBAs on everything. And the possibility of printing just few sizes and grading easily between them is also great
Michelle thank you for the new indie patterns as there are many that I will be purchasing. Also, WOW what a gorgeous home you have made for you and your hubby. We can tell that you are a true artist by your decorating. You and I are so alike in so any ways; even the furniture you have is the same style, color and design would have been what I would have chosen at the furniture store. I always look forward to your videos. Take care. ❤😃
your blouse is so pretty Michelle! Gorgeous colors on you. I have soooo many patterns yet still curious about new indie patterns. I belong to the Cashmerette Club so will try the Sloper at some point but probably not the others. Love the Closet oore jacket but have the Bomber jacket from Cashmerette and the Canton Moto jacket. Cutting out the Friday Pattern company Heather Blazer next since I love their tutorial videos to get my feet wet. Will be my first button hole. xx Karen. Will probably watch your other Indie pattern video. addicted to patterns and sewing now 🤣
I have the Heather Blazer on my to do list - should be coming up soon! Button holes aren't as scary as they sound...just be sure to practice on a scrap piece of your fabric with the same number of layers first! Thanks so much for watching 😊
Thanks so much, Michelle, for all the work you put into this video! You included some -new to me - companies, but none of them interested me enough to look further. I see that the trend of oversized, simple dresses continues. Unfortunately, I find this trend less than flattering on most women and feel it's an easy pattern to draft and just get out in the market. I do like the 5'3" drafted coat and will look more closely at that and the Tessuti dress.
I agree that the simple dress is available EVERYWHERE. I prefer that style because it's just so much more comfortable. But you don't really need that same pattern from every designer 🤣 Thanks so much for watching! 😊
Thanks for the views of your house. It's really lovely. I like that Painter's Jacket by Wardrobe by Me. I like layers - and I think if it was made out of a very light fabric it would be good for Florida summers going into our always airconditioned stores - paired with a tank or tee underneath. The freezer aisles in Publix can be torture! The Flow Dress is lovely but I wonder about bra-friendliness. At home I wouldn't care (well - I might, LOL) but I definitely would want one on if I went anywhere. The Sylvan Jacket pockets make the jacket go from "eh" to very cool... I like to see innovation - so much is not, lately.
Thanks for the kind comments about my house - I'm feeling pretty settled in finally! The Painter's Jacket is nice - I have a couple of patterns already that are very similar but it's a super wearable, every day type layering piece. Love the pockets on the Sylvan!
I haven't made the cargo skirt, but I did make a Juliana Martejevs dress, her Rory dress. I loved that I had the option to pay a nominally higher amount and get a pattern customized to my unique measurements. I think she offers that for a bunch of her patterns if you purchase it directly on her site. I absolutely love that dress. I made it in a forest green linen viscous blend and wore it at least twice a week for the entire summer. I get so many complements when I'm wearing it.
@@MichelleSewsAgain she has videos to walk you through construction, but they are not in English. I was fine with subtitles in English, but it could put some off
I tested the Itch to Stitch Majorelle and the Rivet Henley shirt. There are a lot of sleeve , neckline and length options on both the top and dress - that's why they are separated. Can be just a great close fitting Tee. I am also a member of the Cashmerette Club. I haven't checked out this month's pattern yet. Thanks for all your research. There are some new to me companies.
Recently attended a trouser block class and the tutor had just made a Bella Loves Patterns coat which was beautiful. She was also wearing a pair of their trousers. She said the attention to detail in the patterns was quite unique and her outfits certainly looked very professional. I haven’t made one of theirs yet but they are on my radar now!
Wow - so many « new to me » pattern companies - thank you! I’m definitely not an early adopter because I like to do a ton of research on IG before I purchase a pattern, but I’m definitely going to make the Wyman Sloper Dress by Cashmerette and take their fitting class that comes free to All Access Club members. I’m super excited about making a sloper that fits me perfectly and then using it to make adjustments to the patterns I buy. 💞
Your home is beautiful. I love all the patterns, but most are not my style. I do belong to Cashmerette and I was excited when I got the sloper pattern. Plan on trying it out around the end of the month. Thank you for a fun and informative video.
I truly appreciate this style of video, Michelle, and the research you perform to get here. Short and sweet! Thank you! As much as I love indie patterns, only a few of these speak to me for my body. I suppose I’m not as “fashionable” as I could be. 😂 Just an old sewing coot here. I do plan on trying out the Cashmerette sloper. The possibilities with this one can be endless.
Hi Lynn - I think I'm an old coot too LOL - I just want simple and comfy these days - but I DO like interesting details and most of these patterns didn't really have any of that 🤷♀️
Love these videos. The Painter jacket appeals to me, I think it would suit everyone. I really like the look of the Sylvan jacket, there are so many things I want to make at the moment. I haven’t made any Cashmerette patterns but this does sound very interesting.
The Painters Jacket is a good staple for sure - I have a couple that look really similar in my stash already. But if I didn't, I would consider this one! I am definitely curious about that sloper pattern - can't wait to hear some reviews on it!
i really like htdf patterns...i like she is more vintage and fitted. drafting is great and suits my body type...instructions are on app which i dont like but otherwise happy with the 5 i purchased... thanks for putting this together, i like how you give a preview. it allows us to just see what we want to investigate further ...saying that i probably wont be purchasing any of these lol ...i dont think any of them would suit me except the htdf dress but looks like so much fabric in bodice esp around the neck...tfs:)
Thank you so much for sharing your experience with How to do Fashion! I agree - this batch of new patterns isn't overly exciting LOL - one or two have me thinking "maybe" but I'm not 100% on any of them 🤷♀️
I wasn't overly excited about the whole lot - but there were a couple that made me think "maybe" 😊. But I agree, not the most exciting bunch of patterns!
I intended to - I didn't realize that the pocket photo covered up the jacket photo until after I uploaded it. My apologies. But the link is in the description box - so it's easy to see from there 😊
You have lots a lot of weight, you look great makes you look younger. When you doing shiring and lest I'm a size 8 what size will I have to cut ,I know it gets smaller, that is my question. Carmen from Florida
Hi Carmen! I've not sewn anything with shirring before but I expect that the pattern designer has accounted for the shrinkage in their size chart - so you should use the size that goes with your current measurements. Thanks for stopping by!
I don't mind the clubs - they are great for people who are "collectors" of a specific brand. All of those brands also continue to create new patterns for the rest of us!
Wow, a two-fer - pattern releases and home tour. Super fun. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Carol!!
New releases were very interesting and the house tour was fabulous. Love love love your style.
Thank you so much Michelle!!

13:56 I really love this!
Thanks :)
Oh, I like the Imogen PJs. I love the Cashmerette slower dress. I am thinking about joining the club too!❤
That sloper definitely sounds interesting. I still haven't made up my mind LOL!
@@MichelleSewsAgain the full bust G/H option is so wonderful for me!♡
The club is great Zelda! Jenny gives us so much

Thanks for sharing this. I love your kitchen!
Thanks so much! 😊
I’d love to have you do a series in making the slower. 😊
That's a possibility - thanks for the suggestion!
That was fun. I love the vintage inspired dress but no time to make it, right now. Thanks for the tour of your lovely home. 😊-Deborah
Thanks so much for watching Deborah!
You always find some really fun patterns. I love that grandpa cardigan with mix and match pockets.
Those pockets make the design!!

The sew liberated sylvan jacket with all the pocket options looks interesting, thanks for sharing. Loved seeing a peek of your new home ❤
Aren't all those pockets fun? Thanks Alison!

I don’t know if you have ever checked out Ellie and Mac but I like there patterns.
I have seen them. The majority of their patterns are for knit garments, which I don't sew a lot. But I do think their patterns are nice 😊
Thanks for sharing. I didn’t find much that I can use. No temptations.
I wasn't overly excited about the whole lot - but there were a couple that made me think "maybe" 😊. But I agree, not the most exciting bunch of patterns!
Thanks for this video❤ really enjoyed it
Glad you enjoyed it!
I love seeing all the new patterns. I’m wondering if you could give a pattern review of patterns for us plus size gals.
I do pattern reviews of every pattern that I actually make :). Can you give me a better idea of what it is you're looking for?
@@MichelleSewsAgain I was curious if some patterns were designed for plus sized women
I think you should have shown the last jacket.
I intended to - I didn't realize that the pocket photo covered up the jacket photo until after I uploaded it. My apologies. But the link is in the description box - so it's easy to see from there 😊
Like you hair tied up,. Now if you put that bun on top of your head you would be taller…or maybe not. Great video.
LOL - I would be maybe an inch or two taller - unfortunately it wouldn't help my reach any haha!
xXx👍👍👍
