I am about to make my first and you have given great instruction. They are all your favorite! I have one question which I hope you will answer. I noticed on the back you gathered instead of a pleat which I really like, matches the front shirring. Did you add anything to the width to get the fullness on the gathers? They are so beautiful as you are!

@LoveNotions

Жыл бұрын

Yes Karina is an absolute delight and her Rhapsodies are indeed lovely. I don't believe she added any extra. Most people who made that change have just gathered the area that was meant to be pleated. Hope that helps!

I just bought this pattern with your affiliate link. I love your videos. Thank you! Can this pattern be made successfully with cotton shirting fabrics? Thinking of starting with the sleeveless blouse first as we're getting into very hot weather here now.

@LiftingPinsandNeedles

3 жыл бұрын

Cotton shirting might be a little heavy for it but if you don’t mind the gathers having more volume it could be ok. Cotton shirting does not drape at all so you won’t have a floaty look.

It all depends on what look you're going for. It wouldn't be as drapey as say a rayon or crepe for sure. ~K
