Have you considered doing a Ravelry style KAL Sew Along to engage all levels of your fans? Not just your excellent instructional series, but ones where we submit photos/videos of our finished garments? I have been looking for something like the Scroop Patterns Robin for myself, and my entry would be a linen-y rayon woven solid from my stash. I think the celebration video it could generate a lot of hits-- one T&T pattern (inset pattern name here) 25 variations, 25 bodies.just an idea.
This is a really interesting suggestion and has me thinking about how I could do that! Stay tuned!
Oooh, the Robin Dress will be a great TNT pattern for all seasons!!!
Yes!!
Your Scroop came out lovely! I took in the waist on mine (it is a loose fitting design) and the multiple seams made it very easy to take a very small amount from each to get a slimmer fit without ruining the lines. Also - I don't remember who - but I know I saw someone who had added ties to the back princess seams, so she could tie it to get a close fit when she wanted.
Adding ties would be lovely and a great fit fix! I can see myself taking in the seams just a bit at the waist at some point as well.
Wow I love the shortened peplum, this will be in my spring sewing plans!
Thank you!
The Scroop Patterns dress is so lovely! The style is beautiful on you. I made the Wanderlust dress based on your review and really like the style. A woven version sounds perfect for summer! Thank you for sharing.
Thank you! I'd say this definitely feels like my woven version of the Wanderlust!
I love, love, love them all!!!
Thank you!!
Love the shorts and pullover set. So cute 😍
Thank you! 🤗
The blue dress looks beautiful on you. Like them all.
Thank you so much
I’ve followed Leimomi designer/owner of Scroop for years! I’m excited to see you’ve made one of her patterns. It looks great!
Yes! Thank you!
Cute dresses and I love the French terry top and shorts! In my opinion, I think the shorts fit you perfectly.
Oh thank you!
Oh, I loveall pieces but especially the Robin dress; I had exactly the same dress in 90s, made from Burda pattern and I loved it! Thanks for pointing out Robin has cup sizes, need that. Now off to pattern (and fabric) shopping…
Have so much fun sewing the Robin!
Hi Whitney, I think the shirt looks really good on you.
I like the shorter peplum.
Oh thank you!
I love your makes. The peachy Aurora looks wonderful on you. The French Terry is awesome. The Scroll Robin Dress is lovely. Your shoes look so cute with it.
Thank you!
I just love all of these makes ! They all look fabulous on. I can see why you want to make more of the last dress it really suits you.
Thank you so much!
Love the Robin Dress. Off to hunt for the pattern
No need to hunt, I've attached a link in the description box!
Love all your makes but especially that last dress. No sewing just worked yesterday on getting the bootstrap pants form pattern cut out to take to Florida with me. 19 pieces doubled and a few required 4 pieces. So lots of cutting. A few pieces I interfaced to make more stable & prevent fraying. Plan on working on the pants form and bowl cozies for a friend while I’m down in Florida.
Wow you got a lot done! Have a great trip!
Those are all beautiful makes!! Ready for spring and bright colors.
Me too!!
Enjoyed your presentation this morning. I watched it while I was getting dressed for work. It was inspirational.
I'm so glad!
That Robin dress is gorgeous. Love the fabric. It looks great on you,
Thank you so much!
Love all the fabric palm leaves 🌴!!! So springy 😊
Yes!
I have made 2 Shelby dresses from True Bias. I had to fiddle a lot with the neckline, because my high bust to full bust difference is 6" and it is pretty low cut. Even though I am on a pattern fast, that Robin Dress is definitely calling my name. Like you, I love patterns that already calculate bust sizes. I had earmarked some of my stashed fabric for another Shelby dress, but I think I'll try the Robin dress. An added bonus is the pockets plus no ties in the back. I always forget about those ties when I use the bathroom and they end up wet. Just a word to the wise!
Haha on the ties! That is the worst!
adorable with that tiny peplum
Thank you!
Great makes as always🤩 that short set is my favorite. Loving all your instant gram and tic too clips too. Fun ❤
Thanks so much! 😊
Beautiful makes, Whitney. Also, loving your hair this length. 😍
Thank you so much!!
Such great pieces once again! I'll have to check out the Scroop patterns too! I don't need the larger bust but I like the versatility of the pattern. Is the frawn fabric a more stable fabric than your Swim pants? That might explain why they feel snugger than the pants. They look great!
Thank you!!
Oooh! I also love patterns with cup sizing. I am well acquainted with FBAs, but cup sizing just saves me a whole lot of time. I have a question if you have a minute (no pressure - I know you’re busy) about the fit of princess seams versus darts for a full bust. Fitting the bust line has a lot of elements which include lowering or raising the apex point on the pattern. I always hear that princess seams provide for better fitting, but I have found that darted bodices are both easier to adjust in that regard, and more forgiving if I don’t get it absolutely perfect. The darted bodices just seem to fit more smoothly, whereas if I don’t get a princess seam exactly right, it’s much more obvious that the bodice doesn’t contour over my bust as it should. So, I guess my question is, what’s up with that? 😂 Have you ever had this happen for you? Do I need to up my princess seam game? ❤
I completely get what you mean! If you don't have the apex of a princess seam hitting you at your apex, it can definitely leave odd excess fabric in places! I've also heard people go on and on about princess seams being easier to fit, however, if you find darts easier to fit, then I say thats the way you should go! Princess seams do give you a couple of extra seams for taking in or letting out, but if you're struggling to fit them, then I'd just stick with the darts! I do have a video tutorial on how to raise and lower the apex of a princess seam, if you're interested: ruclips.net/video/1D6HGGEesr0/видео.htmlsi=PrCtNWXeZiPNlQqF
@@TomKatStitchery Thank you! I will check out your video. Although I am sure I’ve already watched it, a refresher never hurts.
Also, thank you for the validation regarding the look of a princess seam when I don’t get the fit just right, as well as the reminder of why the princess seam is lauded as offering more fitting options. I guess I sometimes forget that fitting isn’t always *just* about my big boobs!😂
Great job, Whitney, as always. 🩷🩷🩷
@@lorieburtt592 I sometimes forget the same thing 😂. Stupid boobs.

Just finally got rain in SC
❤️❤️❤️
What beautiful makes for this month Whitney. But that Robin dress is gorgeous on your! I’ve never heard of a rayon file, is it similar to rayon twill? I love to sew and wear a rayon twill.
I hadn't ever seen rayon faille either. It's similar in weight and movement to a rayon twill, but not as soft.
Is there a smaller amount of stretch in the tropical French terry?
Yep, just a little!
lovely makes. They are all very nice. What is the fabric of the Orange, Margot Peplum?
It was a Cotton/ Modal/ Spandex Jersey. I talked more about this dress in ruclips.net/video/VYm4N4tS5-E/видео.htmlfeature=shared
Can yuo tell us which size pack you bought of the Robin Dress? I know you said you were between a 38 and 40, so how did you decide whether to buy the smallest or the middle of the three size packages? I'm on the edge of two packs too and just cannot decide which to put in my cart. :/
I bought the middle one!
