Hi Sara, you managed through this mistake with genius, I love the result, so clever and beautiful ! Good idea for this pattern. Well done ! I think I keep this idea in mind, it's really nice.
I love watching your tutorials. Not just for the tutorials, but also because your voice is so gentle and the music so calming. And I think the way you dealt with the serging hole is fabulous--the shirt is much nicer with your strip of patterned fabric in it. That was definitely a happy accident.
Well you were right, this is not a pattern for beginners. Ive been sewing for nearly 50 years and I’ve never seen a sleeve done like this! You did a fantastic job of showing how to put it together and the way you fixed your little accident was brilliant, thanks for leaving that in the video. I love your videos and look forward to each one and I think you once said your husband picks the music(?), so kudos to him for keeping it relaxing and easy on the ears !
Thank you so much for this tutorial Sara! I don't think I could've gotten through making this shirt without your help. Also I love the detail you ended up with on your top, that was definitely a happy accident!
Such an awesome sewalong. Thank you for putting this together. I feel more confident about getting the pattern knowing i have this extra resource to help me.
What a great video! Errors happen, you did a great job of an unintentional accent piece, which I think really enhanced the aesthetics. It worked out perfect.
The Olya shirt is gorgeous! I shall watch this again before making my decision whether or not to buy, although I think the answer will be yes.Both your shirts are beautiful.🌷
I love how you showed the fix for the serger problem. I would have given up but what you creates is both beautiful and unique. Thanks for the inspiration 😀
Thanks so much for this sew along! I had to stop sewing this shirt when it came to the sleeve/bodice connection, my brain could not make sense of it.😵💫 I will have to watch this video a few more times, but your way makes much more sense then the one that was provided. Btw, I have and love your patterns☺️
I was watching a different sew along and that one was so much more complicated. Thank you for always making complicated patterns much more straightforward to follow!!! You are amazing. I am a somewhat advanced beginner and I was so stumped at the sleeve area but your video helped me so much. I also wanted to ask- do you make your own patterns? You have such a great understanding of sewing, your patterns would be amazing. I love how you always make changes to what the pattern typically asks for and you make it even better!!
Just found your channel & really enjoyed this! I always say sewing garments is often problem solving & creative design solutions! Beautiful fix/design element! I'm working on my 2nd Olya shirt (both linen). I only did one pocket on 1, and skipped them on 2, and ignored the burrito method on #2 that only made it more difficult than it needed to be... Love your dbl gauze dress, too.
Great tutorial, so helpful to demystify the pattern instructions. I cut through a patterned fabric and I think a plain colour match strip would get it out of my ‘sew sin bin’ and into my wardrobe 😻 thank you Sarah 👏👏
Hi! I really loved this video and the tips for making a "faster & easier" shirt! In fact, I have a question. In the pink Olya that we see at the end of the video, you say that you sew the bias binding on the sleeves instead of the cuff and looks great! I was wandering if you did make any other adjustment to the sleeve in addition to bias binding? Did you lengthen the sleeves? Did you widen them? Did you sew the pleates as per the pattern? Thank you in advance if you can reply, I am really exited to sew the shirt again with these little changes ☺
This is a great video. I'm about to make the Olya shirt in a shirting weight pinwale corduroy - I hope it turns out as nicely as yours. 😊 Did you find that the sleeves (or body) were too long? I noticed you didn't alter the sleeve length but are rolling up the sleeves. I'm 5'1½" tall, and I already decided to take 3" off the body length, and 2" off the sleeves.... but I'm unsure. (For reference, I'm making the size 20, although my measurements match the size 22). Any advice?
The length of my Olya sleeves is just right for me, but I just don’t like shirt sleeves with placket and I prefer to roll them up! My personal preference ! ☺️ Hope your Olya turns out beautifully!
I think every wardrobe needs a classic shirt or two. Sew your Olya Shirt along with me! :)
That's what Bob Ross calls a happy accident. It looks so much better with that modification. Great thinking.
I really love the patch on the shirt. I thought it was a clever design feature and made me want to do the same!

Love the fix. This design feature elevated the shirt. There are no such things as mistakes!
What a great video! Errors happen, you did a great job of an unintentional accent piece, which I think really enhanced the aesthetics. It worked out perfect.
Thank you! 🙌☺
Your repair gives a real unique designer touch to the blouse. I want to make this and will consider putting in a piece like thar. Well done
☺️❤️ Happy to hear you love my fix!
It's way more interesting with the patch!!!!
I follow you from Morocco, you are really very special and i like your personality ❤
Aww thank you!! 🥰❤

Thank you! Glad this video would help your decision! ☺️
the patch on the front is genius!!!!
Can't wait to sew this along with you when I muster up the courage to make my first shirt 😁
What a beautiful shirt you made! The fix made it so unique and eye-catching.
I love how you showed the fix for the serger problem. I would have given up but what you creates is both beautiful and unique. Thanks for the inspiration 😀
Hehe Glad to hear it has given you some inspiration! ☺️
Such a lovely shirt. I'll keep it in mind when I get enough courage to make a complicated shirt. I love how you fixed the serging error :)

I love all your makes!!! Especially when you add that something extra to make it yours alone...love love love
☺☺💕💕💕Thank you!!
Stunning!

I feel exactly the same! 🙌 Thank you for watching and I hope you enjoy wearing your Olya! 😉
That mistake ended up not being a mistake! You are brilliant!
🫶🙌🙌
Great idea. I think the white shirt looks amazing with that accent! Good thing it happened 👍🏻
Great tutorial, so helpful to demystify the pattern instructions. I cut through a patterned fabric and I think a plain colour match strip would get it out of my ‘sew sin bin’ and into my wardrobe 😻 thank you Sarah 👏👏
Hahaha hope your 'sew sin bin🤣' gets empty soon!
Fantastic.
I love this and cannot wait to make it! I also love the skirt you wore at the end. Did you make that as well, or did you purchase that skirt?
This skirt is a modified version of Estuary Skirt by Sew Liberated Patterns! 💕
Happy accident. Love your fix!!!💜

I didn’t make any changes! I just skipped the placket part and bias binded! ☺️
@@SewingTherapy Thank you so much! I was afraid the sleeves would be too much narrow without the placket to fold them! Thank you again!
