One of the great things about being elderly is seeing fashions come back into style. I've been sewing for almost 50 years now & have hoarded my patterns. I didn't see a single pattern shown I don't have or can't create by combining a couple. My grandmum taught me early on to never cut out the original pattern but to make a copy to use to cut the fabric.
It’s a great Saturday! My husband is away, so I’m having my ideal morning: coffee in bed and a Saturday morning Foldline video, loudly and uninterrupted!
Totally amazing, inspired Autumn run down. I use your themes as a starting point for the displays in a charity shop, and they've really helped provide focus and reflect what we should see on our high street ( which in my town is dying) So many thanks and keep inspiring us all, not just the sewing community.
Actually like this video better than the usual shopping trip. Don’t mind the long length either as I am trying to pass time waiting...Can’t think of a better topic to go on about , I mean the news is rather grim lately.
You never need to apologize for blathering on too long bc we love to listen to you. I love Saturday mornings when your videos come out. Coffee, my knitting, and you on the tube!
Morning Kate, I love watching your videos on a Saturday morning and I don’t mind if they are longer. I never want them to end. Great suggestions thank you for all your hard work. Have a fabulous weekend. Val❤️🇨🇦🇬🇧
Love these videos, Kate. Appreciate the amount of work you must put into these - both in terms of researching and editing. Thanks for not making a non-essential trip 🙏🙏
Loved the video! With the button up, I instantly thought of the Archer Button up, I think it is the ideal pattern if you've never made a shirt. The instructions really helped me conquer that milestone 😊
Thank you, thank you! You did a great job doing the trend research and pattern matching. Now I am all jazzed up to get to sewing up some great Fall work from home wardrobe pieces!
I agree with all the comments - I always enjoy these Sew the Trends videos. Thank you! You inspire me! It's hard to keep up with the trends, though. It wasn't very long ago I took all of my nineties dresses and shortened them. And now the longer style is back! Oh well... back to my dear friend, Miss Sewing Machine.
Good for you Kate for not making a trip to London essential. I think it could have been justified, but I’m not sure what your restrictions are - I’m in Melbourne Australia, under strict lockdown rules! But we have nuff-nuffs here who think it’s essential to travel 200km for MacDonalds! Thanks for your videos- some normality in a crazy COVID world!
I’m very happy you did this online and not go into the city, it’s still too peopley out there 😊 I’m making comfy tunic dresses for the autumn and I will make my Anderson blouse. Fab video x
Love these videos! This one was fabulous and everything you mentioned is now on my sewing list. I wasn’t feeling autumn sewing but you’ve changed that! Thanks for all the effort you put into these videos!!
I love this series, and honestly, why not keep doing it this way even after covid? You can see all the popular options, less stress than popping in in person!
I preferred this format actually! Usually the other ones in London are harder to hear/understand. I think you did a great job going through the trends here 👍
I’d give you a double thumbs up if I could. So much work and planning to put this video together and I appreciate your efforts. Excellent recap on styles and patterns. Thank you so much.
Hi Kate, Sewing the trends is always one I love to watch. You do a great job. I'm always wanting more so the vids are never too long. Thank you for inspiring all of us. X
A great video Kate, this must have taken an age to research all for our benefit, I’m so inspired for my Autumn/Winter sewing projects...thanks so much 💖
Thank you for a great video! I thoroughly enjoyed watching it with my breakfast and wondering if there is a connection between the popularity of sewing and simpler fashions that lend themselves well to home sewing. Even if it's just a coincidence, I'm delighted. Lots of plans to make. Thanks again!
Great video Kate! I very much sympathise with you not wanting to go into central London, and as I live about 10 miles from the nearest clothes shop of any size, your lovely engaging chats make me feel more connected with life out there! Thank you! Once again, some classics, but also some patterns I hadn't come across before... really lovely way to start the day!
This must have been a lot of work, but I agree to no non-essential trips! You’ve captured the trends well, and for those of us who have put on a few inches around the middle, the boxier trends are welcome! Thanks Kate!
I SO appreciate all your research. Of course I have always enjoyed the trips to London too, and hope you will get that opportunity again, meantime, thank you and have a great day!
Kate, I missed your trips to town!!! It is always so lovely when you do that. However safety is first and I understandable a good idea that you chose to do it all from home!!! Still great video as usual.
AWESOME episode! I’ve completely lost my sew-jo since March and am obsessively knitting lace socks, but this episode just might get me revving up my machine again...
Could you expand your knowledge to menswear? Maybe just do 2 annually? One for colder season and warmer season trends. Or you could talk about how you can butch up the female patterns for male wearers. It may be a challenge for you, but in the end, with your vast knowledge of womenswear patterns out there, this will make you even more informed in the scope of all patterns for all people out there. Thanks for the consideration. And enjoyed this video.
That was really enjoyable. You have great knowledge to impart to us. I live in NZ and have not yet used a downloadable pattern 😒 so when I find the inspiration piece, I go through the patterns I have and adapt as necessary (especially during our lockdown) I'm in the opposite season to you so feel I'm ahead that I have already made several of the looks you showed us. Thank you, and have a great week.
Have you taken a look at the Russians? Grasser is the only one with a separate English-language site (though fewer patterns) but they are super trendy, as are Vikisews and La Forme. Big IG presence too! And the prices are good, even for me AND they have regular sales! They all do 4-5 heights.
Fantastic video! I like the blouse you are wearing, is it me made? And your glasses! I want them! Lol Seriously, I look forward to Saturday mornings just to watch your videos😊❤👍
Apparently 2/3rds of Australia is considered obese but our pattern companies don't cater for that. That said, Tessuti patterns do run large so it may fit more sizes than up to 16.
Mel Actually both Style Arc and Megan Nielson are reasonably size inclusive. Going up to a 28 or 30 - Kate omitted that the Darling Ranges dress also has a Curves size band for sizes 14-30. Also Elbe Textiles have an expanded size range with 2 cup size options.
Thank you so much for all the hard work you put into this video. Like some others have said, I wouldnt mind if it was longer, though tiring for you to film. Maybe the oversize theme for the coats is because we all need to cover up our lockdown expanded bodies 😂 I'm also loving the thought of everyone wearing joggers and smart blouses on their zoom calls for work 🤣 Thank again, feeling inspired to sew now 😊 xx
Thank you for the view to many patterns. I love a shirt with a banded collar. Did you make the one you are wearing in the video? What pattern did you use?
Hi, I just wanted to say that I really liked the format like this, with you staying at home, because we all currently probably do a lot of online shoping, and it also made me check out a couple of the items in the shops to see what they paired with it and get some more fall wardrobe and sewing inspiration. Always love your sewing pattern videos so much!!! :) Oh and was this the winter one already (in the binning you said winter, but the title is autumn...) or did you mean autumn and there will be another one later in the year?
Hi Tracy, yes we do a round up of new pattern releases each month and you can find them here on RUclips and our blog, here are the patterns for August: thefoldline.com/2020/08/29/new-sewing-pattern-releases-august-3/
What would you make the darling ranges in to make it better for winter weather? I have some great rayon/viscose challis for a summer version, but it is cold where I live!
I have been searching and searching for a crew neck sweater pullover pattern that has a tie waist to no avail. I have beautiful sweater material and think the front tie would be lovely. Do you have any suggestions ?
Hi, I don't know if you have seen the Megan Nielsen patterns? There is a sweater called Jarrah which has a couple of different options, and tied waist is one of them. Not sure about the neckline though. Just a thought 😊
One of the great things about being elderly is seeing fashions come back into style. I've been sewing for almost 50 years now & have hoarded my patterns.

Zoe Emiko Me too - how fun to see sewing becoming popular again as well.
Zoe Emiko I totally agree!
Totally agree. Must start copying the pattern. Started making my own clothes at 12 years. My beautiful sister in law RIP was my mentor. M
It’s a great Saturday! My husband is away, so I’m having my ideal morning: coffee in bed and a Saturday morning Foldline video, loudly and uninterrupted!
Helen Loney me too! Only I have my little dog snuggled up with me too!
Me too !
Me too! Our greyhound would love to watch Kate too but she’s too big to have on our bed 🙂
thank you for contributing this video to society!
first timer here. I really appreciate your analysis of trends. Very helpful.
Always love these sew the trends. Thank you for all the work you put in. No need to apologise for the length. Love all the inspiration. 💕

I like these videos because you expose us to pattern companies I’ve never heard of!
Wow Kate Monster edition! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼Thankyou very much, fabulous guidance 😘
Totally amazing, inspired Autumn run down.

Ahh wow I feel honoured! Thanks for sharing that with us x
your taste in cuts is great !

I was definitely wearing that style of draped bias neck on a couple of tops in 2001 on an Ibiza holiday where I got together with my husband.

Please do not worry about going too long - I love these videos! Make them as long and as often as you like :)
I love this series, and honestly, why not keep doing it this way even after covid? You can see all the popular options, less stress than popping in in person!
Don't apologize the video's length. I saw the run time, grabbed my coffee and knitting and am enjoying the video.
What fun! Great video. Go on as long as you like :). Longer!
Awesome video - as others have said, please do not apologise for the length! Meant it was a better treat than normal even :)

Thank you for the longer video. As always the content is great. Love it.
Buying that Sicily slip dress straight away..and the Helen's closet pants,,and the Maven pattern, I want them all! LOVED this video, thank you!
I SO appreciate all your research. Of course I have always enjoyed the trips to London too, and hope you will get that opportunity again, meantime, thank you and have a great day!
Loving the Verona jacket and I'm really liking the James Fisherman smock 👌💖. Brilliant inspiration again Kate...thanks so much 👍💖😁😘
Thanks Kate for doing all that research for us. Love the pattern matches!
An oldie but a goodie, I think the Morris blazer would be a good option for the tailored jackets
Great idea!
Kate, I missed your trips to town!!! It is always so lovely when you do that. However safety is first and I understandable a good idea that you chose to do it all from home!!! Still great video as usual.

Lots to get excited about here, thanks for all your research! Trip into London can definitely wait.
Loads of great recommendations. I’ve got some of these patterns already so looking through my fabric stash to match them up now 😍
Well done Kate and thank you.🥰
In the first image I note socks with sandals. I might be on trend finally. 😅🤣
A great selection of patterns as always and plenty of ideas 🙏
Thanks for the inspiration, great video and never too long....👍🥰
Thank you Kate - great vlog and info.
Fabulous Kate! Thankyou so much! 😘😊👏🏼
This was lovely! So many great ideas!
That was amazing information. Love seeing patterns that can work with the high street look. Thank you 💖
Brilliant round-up. Love your 'trend' videos.
Loved this video! Great inspiration. I'm super excited about the Lauren top and Tulia tee.

Well done, great patterns as always already planning my winter wardrobe
Fantastic thank you so many great ideas. Where to start! Fabric shopping ..... 😉
Brilliant Thank You 🙏 ❤️💙💚🌟
Thank you! Love these!
I love the sew the trends! So happy you stayed safe! As always....I say, I love the longer vlogs! 😊
Hmmm seems oversized is the look for fall? I guess since we’ve all been wearing pajamas this year.
Have you taken a look at the Russians? Grasser is the only one with a separate English-language site (though fewer patterns) but they are super trendy, as are Vikisews and La Forme. Big IG presence too! And the prices are good, even for me AND they have regular sales! They all do 4-5 heights.
Great video! I would love to see a video about little black dress pattern suggestions 😁
Fantastic video! I like the blouse you are wearing, is it me made? And your glasses! I want them! Lol Seriously, I look forward to Saturday mornings just to watch your videos😊❤👍

Great video as always
Well done Kate, optimum!
Love the video, I think of the extra length as a bonus as you can’t get too much Foldline. I love your vase, where is it from please?
Thank you for the view to many patterns. I love a shirt with a banded collar. Did you make the one you are wearing in the video? What pattern did you use?
Great job! Very inspiring :-)

@Britannyjjones has done a tutorial on the Sicily dress, which is very helpful
Ohh thanks I'll check it out!
It would be great if every month you could do a round up of patterns.
Hi Tracy, yes we do a round up of new pattern releases each month and you can find them here on RUclips and our blog, here are the patterns for August: thefoldline.com/2020/08/29/new-sewing-pattern-releases-august-3/
What are the difference between the sizes in the UK and Europe
What would you make the darling ranges in to make it better for winter weather? I have some great rayon/viscose challis for a summer version, but it is cold where I live!
Hi Kate, searching for Simplicity 4079, any ideas?? Love your podcast.
how do you finish the cuffs and hem?
Do you do gift vouchers Kate? 🤔
Hi Lynne - yes we do: thefoldline.com/product/gift-voucher/
I have been searching and searching for a crew neck sweater pullover pattern that has a tie waist to no avail. I have beautiful sweater material and think the front tie would be lovely. Do you have any suggestions ?
Hi, I don't know if you have seen the Megan Nielsen patterns? There is a sweater called Jarrah which has a couple of different options, and tied waist is one of them. Not sure about the neckline though. Just a thought 😊
