Misty, i love your videos! I like how you are able to stop the demonstration from Amy & explain further or make her instructions more clear. Great job!
Love the toppers you are both wearing. My chiffon jacket was an easy kimono type but I added some pinch pleats for shaping the back. Like you pleat on the front. Thank you from Julie Sydney Australia.
Great thought Kathleen. We are working on a couple options for pockets that will be eventually added to the Bonus Content that you can access from the QR code in the pattern.
Great video for the diversity of the pattern. For those of us who are older and get cold in the winter, this is a great flannel type shirt fabric. I will definitely purchase the pattern. Thanks Amy and Misty.
Thanks Misty. Lovely ideas to sew. Very creative, fun, & versatile. I can make the red hanky one first, then ease my way into sewing with the wool, & the silky rayons for the Southern charm affect. Many of my outfits will be extra nice with a topper. Thanks for a great turtorial Misty.
I enjoyed this video❤thank you! I made these coverups in the 70's. I made my own pattern in Home EC. I am 68 now and buy coverups. I will be purchasing your patterns. Love it!❤✂️🧵
I enjoyed this video a lot. I have been wanting to make a cover like this for awhile now. I thought the instructions were pretty good and loved the variations of fabrics. The different products was informative as well. I have often picked up a tool and wondered what the heck is that for , when I was first learning. Lol Have a great day everyone !
I remember the rayon blue and brown from my trip to Missouri Star this summer. I love the window pane. I think the fabric makes all the difference and linen is my favorite but hard to fine large muted colors in fabrics that are woven. Need woven but still drapery.
Fun to see you doing a little bit of garment sewing! A super easy solution, if you don't want to see the unprinted side of your printed fabric: Just flat line it with a print you like. (Especially good if you've chosen a very lightweight fabric)
Love this! It is difficult to understand the construction with that dark fabric but I'm sure the pattern directions will be clear. Possibly the back neck has a facing? I can see this being a great gift.
Thanks Lida! Yes pattern directions give you all the details with diagrams to follow. There is not a back neck facing. Glad you like the idea of making the AnyTime topper for gifting.
Wish you would have demonstrated this with the pink fabric. It would have been easier to see the the right and wrong side as well as the pleats and the hems.
I love the topper! I enjoy your FREE videos and like that your guests, who I presume aren't used to being on camera, do their best to explain their projects. I understood the instructions and will be looking for the pattern. I think it would make a great swim suit cover up. Amy, don't pay attention to the nasty comments.
Thanks for the video! I bought this pattern last month. Have some vintage kimono silk I want to make into this, My FIL sent home when he was in the service and I was fortunate to inherit it. Never sewn with silk before so will make out of another material before cutting into it.
Fantastic!!! I have been trying to buy the Anytime Topper and am having trouble finding it. I'm hoping this means that I can now get it a MSQC. Thank you!
Nice garment, can be dressed up or down! I have made alot of my own clothing, but I have to say not a good tutorial instructional. Use to very detailed tutorials from MSQC, nice job Misty illustrating some points. Her garment is neat but was very confusing instructions by her, she jumped around to much. Thanks very Fashionable as well.
I always hem sleeves , necklines etc. after the side seams and major constructions are done! How do you manage the 6 layer bulk at the bottoms of the sleeves and side seams?
6 layer bulk at the bottom? The only layered bulk is at the shoulder seam where it’s been folded and the back is sewn to the front. The sewn fold does not continue down the front. Watch the video again.
Thanks for your question Julia. The six layers are only on the bottom hem corners. We did not have any issues with this but our fabric choice has been mainly lighter to medium weight fabrics. One tip is to press each fold separately and pin in place as you work.
We will have to try the French seams and we are working on designs for a pocket that may eventually be added to the Bonus Content that is accessed via the QR code in the pattern. Thanks for your suggestions!
I would like to know the name of the pattern of the quilt on your lap during your intro. Your dog comes up to your lap for a pet while you are in the chair. I have looked on the website but haven’t seen it. Thank you for your help.
I just wish this was more on the tutorial side with more instructions and details on how to put this together. I’ve ordered the pattern but I didn’t have any luck on finding fabric on the website for this project, very confusing for a beginner
I will have to try that. Not sure if it will work but worth a try. I love it with a long sleeve shirt underneath for Fall and Winter. It's great in a flannel.
I found it hard to see what was going on with the dark fabric, and at plaid at that. I would have understood it better with a solid, lighter color. I found the explanation confusing.
The coverup is really nice. I wonder, though, why Amy didn’t sew the seams first and then do the hems as you would in sewing other garments. I think the edges wouldn’t hang as nicely, done the way shown.
It’s too bad this pattern in currently unavailable; kind of poor timing. By the time you have it available, I will have completely forget it. Please feature it in your daily email when it comes. Love these tutorials! So we’ll instructed! Old lady Janet.
I don’t usually read comments. But the comment to the right of my screen stuck out like a sore thumb. If you can’t say something nice then don’t comment. Lift others up instead of putting them down. 🙂
Love the idea of the topper. Felt the guest was not the easiest to follow. Additionally the fabric made it so difficult to actually see the things that she was speaking about. Again, liked the topper.
I used a brown lunch bag as a pattern. Cutting down each edge on the fold. You end up with a cross-like pattern. Cut fabric adding a seam allowance. Sew the sides and top edge . Add a tie on one of the top edges to attach the the headrest and done
@@blufishies I made 4 already used vinyl to make a removable linger. Was just wondering how others made the vinyl lining, maybe there was an easier way than what I am doing it. thanks
Thanks for the comment. It is surprising but the position and size of the pleat actually fits a variety of shoulder widths, from my mom who is very petite to my daughter who has very broad shoulders.

Hello? It's called a CAFTAN/KAFTAN. Those were all the rage back in the 70's. All the old ladies sewed and wore them. This is not some great new young hip trend, it's grandma clothes from the 70s. My grandmother and her friends made tons of them.
Keeping my bridle on here, but this is disappointing in so many ways. I'm sure it is confusing for even the novice. The title may mislead one to think it is a "complete" how to video. It is more about "get the pattern" and girl talk video. The guest is addressing Misty rather than the audience. Hope this was taken constructively rather than a rant. I' a fan of Missouri Star Quilt company; been sewing since age nine. It's hard to imagine learning to sew in this day and age as the patterns instructions seem to be translated and are difficult to understand. I think videos should be detailed yet without showing someone straight stitch for forty minutes, you get the gist. Thank you for putting your videos out there.
Denise, thank you!!! and not to mention. This is a Caftan/Kaftan pattern from the 1970s. Not anything new at all. I don't understand why they demo this to sell a pattern... for 15 bucks then it is not even in plentiful supply, and Misty is gushing over it as if it's some hip new young person get up, when it's a grandma outfit from the 70's.
Incredibly difficult to understand the tutorial. I'm sure this pattern is fast and easy, especially adjustment for different fabrics. I do apparel sewing, and made adjustments for fabric. This was confusing.
I love toppers but this was a non-tutorial tutorial but rather a big ad. And pattern unavailable???? Black material was a poor choice for a demo. I am sure the guest is knowledgeable but was a very disorganized presentation. I’m used to MSQS tutorials
First-time garment maker here and the video instructions were rather confusing. Didn’t see much in the way of a tutorial. And as always, pattern unavailable hours after release of the video. Bummer
Difficult to support MSQC heading in this direction. I always enjoyed the quilting tutorials, they were the best on YT. There is too much experienced competition for them in the clothes sewing area.
Wondering if you will introduce a tutorial on how to make and also including adjustments to the pattern. The small size is still lots of fabrics for petites short. I did email Barickman for how to. Still the explanation is kind of complicated . This tutorial is to much talking
Love the pattern but if I didn't know how to sew other I would be afraid to try it. Her directions were not very good. I hope the pattern is better for those who attempt it. It would be better if you actually sewed one on set instead of trying to cram way too much info into the allotted time.
Watched the video. Still clueless. I'm sure it's simple but the tutorial is confusing. Maybe if y'all were standing and demonstrating on a mannequin or something? The fabric selection is dark, and it's always bunched up, so it's hard to see what you're doing.
I apologize in advance but with all the flipping of the fabric and stumbling explaining you lost me, so I would definitely have to purchase the pattern to follow easier,
Misty when will you hold a tutorial on the topper - also how to adjust - the pattern itself needs to have how to adjust for short people - and too wide - it’s overwhelming . Jumping all over.
I almost always enjoy Misty’s weekly videos but this one left me cold. Yes, I did sew clothing when my son was small (he’s now 42) but I don’t ever sew garments anymore. Don’t like it😳😳. I would prefer if her videos stayed with quilting and leave garments to a place where many others like to sew them. I started the video but them scooted through to the end. Just,nit my cup of tea!!!!!!

Love the diversity of the show Missy! You are a great teacher and speaker. Keep ‘em coming 🥰
Misty, i love your videos! I like how you are able to stop the demonstration from Amy & explain further or make her instructions more clear. Great job!
Love this so much I definitely want to try to make one of these for myself
Thanks for that. I’ve had that ruler for years. Is excellent. This garment is like a kimono. 🇦🇺
Caftan/Kaftan. They were the big granny thing in the 1970s
@@Ronibearable True! My mother wore them all the time. Give her a couple of yards of fabric, and she’d whip one up for herself. She loved them.
I made my own ruler with cardboard years ago, still going strong
Love the toppers you are both
wearing. My chiffon jacket was an easy kimono type but I added some pinch pleats for shaping the back. Like you pleat on the front. Thank you from Julie Sydney Australia.
I live in a college town, and I always find large, colorful cotton “hippy” wall hangings at yard sales, and this will be an excellent use for them.
I would love to add pockets to the cover up. I’m a big fan of having some place to tuck your hands, phone or a hankie. 😊
Yes! Either patch pockets or a hidden version near the side hem, but I think I like a patch version.
Great thought Kathleen. We are working on a couple options for pockets that will be eventually added to the Bonus Content that you can access from the QR code in the pattern.
I have been collecting Large scarves for making swim suit cover ups. But this has given me so many ideas.
Misty!!! You are such a great addition to MSQC. I enjoy your videos!

Wonderful! Thanks Sherrol. Have fun making the AnyTime Topper.
I’ve been wanting to make a topper, this pattern looks great, thanks!!
So enjoyed the show today. You both look wonderful in the anytime toppers!
Thanks so much Lauren! I had a blast working with Misty!
What a versatile wardrobe item, thanks!
Great tutorial! Love that book as well! It is in my sewing book collection!
What a great project!! I think I’m going to try it.
Thank you. I might be able to attempt this!

Great video! Love this cover! I have had this book for years. Very enjoyable! 🪡✂️🧵
Thanks Connie! So glad you enjoyed Vintage Notions!
I remember the rayon blue and brown from my trip to Missouri Star this summer. I love the window pane. I think the fabric makes all the difference and linen is my favorite but hard to fine large muted colors in fabrics that are woven. Need woven but still drapery.
Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for the wonderful project.
This is awesome. I wear this, but can expand into toppers in fabrics that I choose. Great presentation. Thank you.🌸
Thanks so much! It was great to work with Misty and share the versatility of the AnyTime Topper.
Great video. Lots of ideas.
Please do have another video on this project - just you- your instructions are nice and clear.

A long sleeve version would be 😍
Interesting and cool item. Confusing instructions
Might have to buy the pattern; I think this was an overview and not a start to finish tutorial. :)
Wish you would have demonstrated this with the pink fabric. It would have been easier to see the the right and wrong side as well as the pleats and the hems.
What I thought! 😃
I love the topper! I enjoy your FREE videos and like that your guests, who I presume aren't used to being on camera, do their best to explain their projects. I understood the instructions and will be looking for the pattern. I think it would make a great swim suit cover up. Amy, don't pay attention to the nasty comments.
Every day comes with renewed hope and new opportunities, make sure to seize them! Have a nice day!
How are you doing today?
I love this as a swimsuit cover up. We just tried one made out of a Turkish towel. Thanks Pamela.
Thanks for sharing this.

Great Video.
Fantastic!!! I have been trying to buy the Anytime Topper and am having trouble finding it. I'm hoping this means that I can now get it a MSQC. Thank you!
Thanks Susy! You can sign up to receive an email when the pattern is back in stock.
Great pattern and excellent video. LOVE the top made from a tablecloth!
Glad you liked the lace tablecloth - my favorite too! Thanks for commenting!
Misty, I used a file folder and marked the measurements to use as well, works really well...
Great Idea! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for sharing this ❤️
Attractive cover up! Is it possible to add a bit more "sleeves" for when we're a bit chilly?
Good idea! Maybe those “cinch up” sleeves with the casing for the ties on the top of the sleeve?
Nice garment, can be dressed up or down! I have made alot of my own clothing, but I have to say not a good tutorial instructional. Use to very detailed tutorials from MSQC, nice job Misty illustrating some points. Her garment is neat but was very confusing instructions by her, she jumped around to much.

Well, hard to share all details without giving away the core content she is trying to sell for 14.99.
I am always cold. Even in summer in the air conditioning. Could you make it in minky?
Love this topper. Looking forwaed to the pattern being available for sale again...
I always hem sleeves , necklines etc. after the side seams and major constructions are done! How do you manage the 6 layer bulk at the bottoms of the sleeves and side seams?

Great top! Sketchy instructions, buying the pattern would be easier to understand!
Could you do a french seam and add pockets?
We will have to try the French seams and we are working on designs for a pocket that may eventually be added to the Bonus Content that is accessed via the QR code in the pattern. Thanks for your suggestions!
Yes! A serger is on my wishlist, but until I get one, I’ve learned to love French seams.
@@AmyBarickman Awesome, french seams would give it an even more professional finish and pockets for the win.
I always thought a topper was for the table! What about a longer kimono type that us guys could wear ?
Gee missy , you are so beautiful in that color and your lip stick matches too.
I would like to know the name of the pattern of the quilt on your lap during your intro. Your dog comes up to your lap for a pet while you are in the chair. I have looked on the website but haven’t seen it. Thank you for your help.

Could you add longer sleeves by sewing them into the arm slits?
I will have to try that. Not sure if it will work but worth a try. I love it with a long sleeve shirt underneath for Fall and Winter. It's great in a flannel.
I found it hard to see what was going on with the dark fabric, and at plaid at that. I would have understood it better with a solid, lighter color. I found the explanation confusing.

Any way this pattern can become a downloadable one? I notice it’s already sold out! Would love to try it.
Thanks for your interest! The pattern should be back in stock at MSQC soon. The PDF Download is only available at AmyBarickman.com.
The coverup is really nice. I wonder, though, why Amy didn’t sew the seams first and then do the hems as you would in sewing other garments. I think the edges wouldn’t hang as nicely, done the way shown.
I will give your way a try Mary. Thanks for sharing!
Is the quilt on your lap during the introduction called, Tiny Wonky Stars Quilt?
Yes!
When or what do you do with the back neck to finish it?
Do we also see 3/4 on each side of the back before attaching to the front pieces

Do you have a pattern to make it double sided?
Thanks for this suggestion Cynthia. We do not at the moment, but I will consider adding instructions to do that in the AnyTime Topper Bonus Content.
When will the pattern be available again?
Should be soon. I shipped re-order today. Did you sign up to get notified via email? I think they allow you to do that.
Misty please explain the measuring of 12 inch. 4 inch and 31/2. Thanks
When will the pattern be available? 🥰
It should be available now! Thanks for your interest Nancy.
I wonder if I could use prequilted fabric.
Wishing a wonderful day to my amazing friend! Hope you find success and happiness wherever you go.
I hope this pattern can be purchased at my local JoAnns.
Hi Sandi, We only sell to independent fabrics stores and of course Missouri Star :)
I bought this pattern today at my local quilt store.
Could this be made from scraps from quilting? We all have loads of those I'm sure. LOL
Thanks for sharing Terri, yes that is a great idea!
Is there a tutorial on this channel for a Car Trash Bag With a vinyl removable liner? Thanks
I haven’t seen one, but a nice idea to have for the vehicles.
I used a brown lunch bag as a pattern. Cutting down each edge on the fold. You end up with a cross-like pattern. Cut fabric adding a seam allowance. Sew the sides and top edge . Add a tie on one of the top edges to attach the the headrest and done
And you can use another brown paper lunch bag as a disposable liner 😊

If you have narrow shoulders can you just take a deeper pleat or maybe two pleats? Thanks
