I agree finding the best silhouette that you enjoy wearing is key. I am often wooed by other shaped but need to remember they look great on others and not so much me.
Hi, I like your video! And particularly I love the jacket, everything about it: the fabric is stunning and the making is impeccable! Thanks for sharng!
Such a great video. So nice to see the special details and thoughtful sewing. Thanks for sharing! Would love it if everyone in the team could share their makes like this xo
Thank you for sharing these garments and why you feel comfortable in them! I love that cropped swing jacket and the beautiful details you added to it. I had a lightweight denim shirt/jacket with a cropped swing shape that I would love to recreate. Maybe a future Seamwork pattern? My two favorite shapes from my me-mades are a t-shirt fitted in the shoulders with an A-line shape and a boxy cropped pullover with dropped shoulders that I can wear on its own in the summer and over long sleeve tops that rest of the year. I love dresses but I don't end up wearing them - I'm a homebody : )
That's an... odd thing to say. Yes, the creator apparently took it well (or appreciated the engagement) but I challenge you both to think more broadly about what that comment says behind the words. Congrats on not becoming disabled. Congrats on not getting ill, injured, or having side effects from necessary medications. Congrats on being lucky. Many of us change sizes over the years. It's not a failing. Regardless on how our size or other aspects of our body, change. Some of us have bodies which change size every few years, seasonally, or to some degree monthly. If you feel personal discomfort about your own body changing, or the long term sustainability of clothes you make, perhaps looking into patterns and styles which allow for size adjustability, or making clothing with the intention facilitating easier alterations in future. Historical patterns, and explorations of clothing from the 18-1900s have a wealth of ideas for this, since fabric was incredibly precious, and garments were altered for both fit - as the body, or the wearer changed, as well as style.
This video was really nicely done! I especially love the linen shirt you’re wearing. My go-to shape is always a v neck with dolman or cut-on sleeves. Something about that shape just works for my body. The Seamwork Kimmy dress is a perfect example.
Loved this thought process- I have a few garments that cycle through my closet yearly and some have been in a long time, almost all of them have either a sentimental value while still having a style/fit feature that makes them a "go-to". I knit as well, so consider whether a garment will be an investment piece or not- if I'm thinking "investment", my process starts with a toile that could be wearable if things work out~
Loved this video. Really enjoyed hearing about the items and why you loved them. Did wonder whether there were techniques you used in these garments that assured their longevity.
i haven't made cloths but i love Tanks and have quite a few. But i would love to try and make my own. new to your channel so look forward to seeing more. Thank you.

It's so great to have had these pieces for so long!! I hope to have my me-mades for years (or decades!) to come!

Oooh that would be fun! I will pass that along as an idea for a future video!

Fantastic, thank you for sharing. And well done on staying the same size for 10+ years so you can wear the same items. 😊

I love your vintage but modern style
Loved the video. I so agree on getting the fabric you love!
Loving the fabric makes all the difference!
