I really love boat neck tips with blue and white stripes. My grandmother (who was a very stylish and chic lady) wore blue and white striped boat neck tops very often when she was young. I think it’s very lovely and timeless, and I think it looks great on you as well!
I have a tummy too . . . on 'bloated' days I manage to look pregnant ;) I feel it is what it is, but also like to disguise it, so I feel that this would probably be perfect for me. I actually have the pattern but have never got round to making it. I think I will now after seeing how great it looks on you! I also LOVE your high/low hack, and agree, it does look cuter! TFS, glad you're back! xx
Just downloaded this pattern and I really love your tops cropped at the front with the side slits ,it looks so much nicer , I will go and look for your side slit tutorial , thankyou for sharing ,look forward to seeing more 🌈
I love your videos Susie. You're so honest and authentic. I really like the altered lengths and side slit versions of the boat tee. Those shapes are really flattering! Great to see you on our screens again.
I like your red & white striped print. You're right it is hypnotizing with it worn out but really cute with the front tucked in. I like the high/low look too. I have a tummy too so I really like your fashion style.
Lovely, thank you. The red and white is gorgeous. I see a few of these in my future. I see from the link that the pattern now comes in four sizes which should help everyone find a good fit - hooray!
Lovely tops. I’ve been meaning to try out the Mandy Boat Tee after listening to Caroline on Love To Sea Podcast. You’ve inspired me to definitely do it. Thanks for sharing 😻
Your tee shirts look so good! Sadly I don’t have a clue about pdf patterns or even how to download and send to copy shops.I use my I pad mainly which does not support Adobe. I would love to see a tutorial on this,there are so many fantastic patterns pdf only.
I just got this pattern from the pdf printing company! Great timing for me because I haven't cut fabric yet and I really like the way you did the hems. I am so glad that you shared this. Thanks again for your wonderful videos.
They are all cute tops on you! I made one too out of a knit that the sleeves are just too tight...and it has some polyester in it as well. I can’t stand it on....it makes me just cook. Maybe in the Fall I’ll like it again. Drape is definitely the key for the Mandy!
Great tutorial, Suzie. I was going to suggest adding a side slit but you beat me to it :-). With your modification it reminds me a bit of the toaster 2 sweater except I actually prefer the Mandy's neckline. I've had the pattern ages but never made it - however your versions will definitely make me take a second look. Thanks!
This was great thanks. I’m still waiting to have my Mandy pattern printed out and I’ve always wondered about the difference between this and the Hemlock so I went back to your Hemlock videos and now I cam see! I’m going to try them both to see which I like better. And yes side slit tutorial would be great. It looks so good how you’ve done that and I think might make the half tuck styling a bit easier as well.
Hi Suzie, I love all your tee's and you can't beat stripes with this top. It just seems right for the style somehow 👌. I have made one in pinstripe grey and white drapey jersey and I love mine but now I have seen your cropped at the front version... I want to try that now and I love the splits 👍. Those lovely blues and reds look amazing on you Suzie 😍😘
Thanks for addressing that finishing bit on the neckline. I think you were talking directly to me as I’m probably the only person that couldn’t wrap their head around that. I would love a tutorial on the split seam. I just added my first one to the Frankie t-shirt and actually went to your chanel to see if you had already shown us how to do it. I looked at a rtw top that had that detail and now after seeing yours I think where I went wrong was concealing the raw edge without having modified the seam allowance. I also checked your site to see if you had any Frankie tees on it for inspiration and couldn’t find any. If you haven’t made that one yet, I urge you to consider it. We have VERY similar body shapes and taste in style and that t-shirt is now one of my very favorites. I think you would love it.
I LOVE your striped fabrics and color choices as well. The top is darling on you. The side slits don’t turn out great at the top of the slit. I’d love to know how you tame that! Top stitching helps of course.
Hello Suzy, thank you for the link. I love all your versions, you look so chic with anyone of them!! I've downloaded it. I hope it will suit to me as well as it suit to you... ;-)
Sounds like a great pattern to practice sewing with stretch fabric! Didn't know it was free, or one size fits all! Will definitely have to download it now! I love seeing yours on Instagram!
So satisfying isn't it? Yes, they released a multi-size option at the end of last year because so many people asked them. When I made this video it was still only one size. Great that they added the extra sizes isn't it?
Hi Suzie. They are all very cute and suit you. Love your fabrics, especially the blue one you are wearing. I have downloaded that pattern but haven't gotten around to trying it yet so thanks for the info! Love your videos!!
Oh thank you ! i have a tummy and never know quite what to wear ! Love that you told us you have you really wouldn't know . But it has helped me .Thank you i'm printing this pattern out now ! lol That blue really is lovely on you . Glad to see you back, missed you although i still follow you on IG Have you ordered that check fabric yet lol
They look great. As an absolute beginner, I'd love it if you could do a tutorial on the whole pattern if you could find the time. I take it this would be a good beginner pattern. PS: love the colour of your BuJo on your desk too. PS: should add that can this be sewn fully on a regular machine rather than an overlocker?
Love it! It’s my personal favourite too, I have about 6 in my wardrobe 😱. I’m quite curvy in the middle and I think it looks really so stylish on. I love your strippy collection 😍😍😍
Hi Suzanne, T shirt looks lovely on and easy enough for a novice like myself to run up. Question: Would there be a possibility of you doing a tutorial on how to make a pair of trousers? I can understand negative comments with regards to your "belly", can be off putting....but, hey we've all got a belly....kids and in my case the menopause.....I'll say no more....!!! Thanks again..Ros
Loved your video, as always! Your style is so appealing. Just wondering... do you ever consider getting a coverstitch machine--with all the knits you sew? I'm mulling it over and cant decide if it's worth it🤔 I don't always have the best of luck with twin needles.
I’m late catching up with your fab vlogs (summer hols) but I’d love the side split tutorial please! And do you think you can wear the pattern in the cooler months? Would you say it could rival the Linden sweatshirt? Thanks ever so!
Working on the side slit tutorial, thanks! Personally I would prefer this pattern for warmer months because I think it suits very light drapey fabric. If it was made up in a sweatshirt or ponte, it would be too boxy for me.
I have a question on the neckline. Instead of taking in the neckline by 1/2 inch after the shoulders and neck are finished, can you just sew the shoulder seam angling down to 1/2 inch at the neckline before you finish the neck hem? Or better yet, adjust the pattern before cutting out? Thank you for answering this, and have you done this on your other Mandy Tee's?
I printed out the pattern and the 4" square came out at 33/4" square. Should I add some allowance to the pattern or print it out again.? It is so cute. thanks
Hmm, if you think the top is likely to be quite oversized on you then I would just go ahead as is. The sleeves might need a tiny bit more width though as they are quite tight.
Thanks Louise. Yes, they are the Emerson Cropped Pants by True Bias (indie pattern designer). Love that pattern, I've made it as shorts too and live in them in the Summer!
Would ABSOLUTELY love a tutorial on a side seam slit. Love your videos xx
Your wish is my command, lol - I made a side split tutorial last year: ruclips.net/video/DbGFRfoyHq4/видео.html
Yes to the side slit tutorial! Cute makes!
Would love the side slit tutorial. I think I will give this a try.
I would love a side slit tutorial from you! Love your videos! Thank you!
Here you go: ruclips.net/video/DbGFRfoyHq4/видео.html
I agree I like the ones that are shorter in the front, they look for flattering somehow.
That settles it! Many Boat tee is my next project!
Just downloaded this pattern for my daughters, they have to wear longer tops due to school and this is just lovely. Thank you.
I really love boat neck tips with blue and white stripes. My grandmother (who was a very stylish and chic lady) wore blue and white striped boat
neck tops very often when she was young. I think it’s very lovely and timeless, and I think it looks great on you as well!

Yes! I love your tutorials so a side slit tutorial would be fantastic!
Enjoy having you back on the tube...cute makes!
Really cute tops, Suzanne. They are roomy but look good & comfortable on you. Thanks for sharing.
Oh yes please! Definitely would love the side slit tutorial!!!
Yes, please, I would love to see a side slit adjustment.
Wow, love the one you are wearing, that shade of cornflower blue is beautiful. Love a stripe.😊
I like your red & white striped print. You're right it is hypnotizing with it worn out but really cute with the front tucked in. I like the high/low look too.
I have a tummy too so I really like your fashion style.
Lovely to see you again, Suzanne. Your tops look fabulous on you. 🤓

Great vid! A woman after my own heart with the stripes! I’ve only made one Mandy Boat Tee... but thinking now I need millions more!
Thanks for share! Side slit tutorial, please!
Do do a side seam slit tutorial! I'm going to make one of these. Thank you for the fabric hints. Very helpful.
Really nice collection! I would love to see the tutorial, thanks 😍

I made it yesterday and it came out great. Such a quick sew!! It isn't a 1 size fits all however.

Hi - just watching this now. Have you done the side slit and hem tutorial in another video? Thanks.
Hi Sue. Not yet I'm afraid. But its all the list and I hope to get to it really soon!
Do you prefer this pattern over the hemlock tee? Inspired by your videos for both and not sure which one to attempt making first .
Cute! I like the one you're wearing best. Yes, 'tut me!!! I don't want to figure it out myself :D
I love the Mandy boat tee! I just made my first one. My next one will be with a striped fabric, any tips on lining up the stripes?

My favourite is the one that you are wearing and loving your trousers did you make those too ?

Tutorial please 😊
Fab👍🏻😘
Would look amazing with white jeans
Good call!
