    Alex that was awesome
    Lovely linen and well made
    He was a very good sport I agree with you that the shirt is to over sized so I always feel then instead of looking smart casual it starts to look sloppy
    Thank you for getting Dave to show how the patterns fit a real person and not just showing us garments on a hanger
    It is very nice color combination with the khaki and navy royal blue
    You are a beautiful seamstress
    The color of your top is so summery love it on you
    Lovely job
    I have used your burrito tutorial for making a blouse
    It was magical went very very well
    Excellent tutorial
    Always looking forward to seeing what you have been sewing never disappointed gives me excellent ideas and inspiration
    You and Dave take care
    it's easy to see that you are such a happily married couple
    Wonderful to see you having a giggle over his modeling debut lol
    Thank you
    God bless you

    I love your shirt… those buttons will be amazing! I’m glad you said your pants were indigo because I was reading purple. Beautiful job! I have not tried pants because I’m having a hard time just with PJ pants. They always seem too big!
    I love that your husband was willing to model his makes! Loved his shirt. As you went through the various changes you would make, that’s helpful to hear. I keep missing things; don’t seem to catch everything I should do maybe if I look at it in pieces of the garment.
    Thank you!

    Wonderful to see you back. Thanks for doing up mens fashions and convincing hubby to model. I want to sew for my adult son which means choosing patterns I can sew from afar. Elastic waist pants and oversize shirt but not sports clothes are excellent options. Linen and slubby cotton are playing a huge role in my summer sewing this year. I hope they remain staples for years to come as I find them so easy to work with.

    Hi Alex, great video and loved the cameo!
    I had a delivery from Clothspot last week and they included a sample of a new linen, so you've got my mightily tempted by the Ciara trousers! We are a similar shape, and you said the fit was good... I'm curious whether you graded between sizes at the hips and waist, or went for the straight size? My waist is showing as exactly one size larger than my hips, so with my flat bottom I think it might be worth grading, but if you didn't, maybe it's not a good idea, as I don't want them uncomfortably tight for sitting.
    Anyway, glad your jury service is finished so you've got more time to sew and share! But thanks for keeping the wheels of justice turning.

    • @AlexJudgeSews
      @AlexJudgeSews  3 года назад

      I went for the straight size, but did have the benefit of having made them before. I often have to add some to the waist to allow for post menopausal thickened waist and tummy 🙄 but haven’t needed to this time. Linen is quite forgiving too, so that may help 🥰

Been looking for some summer trousers for Carl - Dave‘s are perfect. Love your trousers too. I think pockets would spoil the line and I think you’d have to put the zip in the back - just a thought. Also tempted to buy fabric from Tessutti too, only ever had their patterns. As for the Melliot shirt can you believe I’ve had the pattern for 4/5 years and still not made it????! Keep sewing.
