    The upcycle blouse was soooo much better and looks fabulous on you! What an improvement. All the blouses are really lovely. I'm very happy you explained how you narrowed the neck on the first top. I have the same issue all the time. Thanks!

    I made M6960 and it was huge, with baggy neck and armacye. Your viscose drapes so beautifully. I’m going to make it, again, someday, but I’ll size down and raise the neckline. Love the crossover version, but it takes a lot of fabric. Really cute tops! 😊-Deborah

    I totally love that you unpicked and resewed the Simplicity blouse, Wendy - the old version didn’t suit you, I thought, and the new one looks amazing! I’m going through a phase myself of assessing what I actually wear in my wardrobe and what I look at and put back. Those last I’m going to gift (to deserving friends!) even though they are handmade. Then I have space for future makes I’ll like better! Thanks for your video! X

    • @wendysdelights
      @wendysdelights  Месяц назад

      Thank you! Yes I'm so pleased I took the plunge, got the scissors out, chopped up the original blouse and made a far better suited blouse. Deffo go through your wardrobe and have a clear out and have fun filling it back up again x

    Love your new makes. Makes me happy to see others on a me made wardrobe. I too am reevaluating my wardrobe. Other the typical fit issues that we all find in garments I couldn’t figure out why I started over heating in the majority of my clothes. Finally I pinned it down to the fabric content. I can’t wear synthetic fibers anymore. I’ve started the process of making my own wardrobe out of all natural fibers. Good luck on future makes.

      It's funny, because I watch videos from the US and I'm jealous of how cheap your sewing patterns can be. Did Joanne's have a pattern sale of $1? Our patterns are £10 upwards, so I only ever buy them when they are half price. I do love a bargain.

      @wendysdelights  Месяц назад

      Thank you! I find Burda is small. I'm a UK size 18 on top so I always make my first attempt a size bigger, easier to reduce and size down than go up. I'm still learning and hopefully getting better results.

    I really enjoy your videos! I like ALL of the patterns that you choose and the fabrics are SPOT ON!!
    I really hate to see you struggle with the fit. My suggestion, learn how to make a full bust adjustment.
    So, picture your upper bust with no boobs…..you are tiny!!
    Measure around yourself with the tape under your arm pits, just above your boobs. Use this measurement to choose your bust size then make a full bust adjustment to fit “the girls” then you can grade out below the bust to fit your hips.
    I know this is time consuming to learn
    but it will prevent you spending time correcting fit issues.
    There are many tutorials on RUclips. If you have trouble learning FBA reach out to another sewist I’m sure someone will be happy to help you!
    ❤😊
