Do you have a favourite blouse or shirt pattern you need to mention? Let me know by commenting here!

I think it is the first time I’ve seen you. But pleased I watched the whole video. As now I know what type of top that would suit me. It was nice to see many different styles thank you so much.

Thanks Kristen; this is a fabulous selection of blouses and shirts, many of which I had not seen before.  My favourites were the Frida, which I recently purchased from you, and Helmi blouses.

Love you place!

I’ve just purchased the Charlie Darwin Finch blouse pattern - 3 different collar options and 6-7 sleeve options. They have a YT showing heaps of the testers variations and they are all amazing!

Your blouses are also a master class in choosing the right size of print for your body, not too large or small for your face or figure. Sometimes we fall in love with prints that overwhelm us or are right for the size we wish we were. I'm in the process of learning the difference between what colors I love to see in decor or nature versus what colors love me, and you do that well also.

Great patterns, Kristen! And you have the best eye for fabrics! Such perfectly beautiful prints! I’m feeling super inspired!

Fabulous video! The Anna Allan Anthea Blouse is an absolute workhorse in my wardrobe. I've  made so many, and they are so quick to sew together!

Thank you so much for the showcase Kristen! It really helps when looking to make these decisions!! Great visiting with you :)

Thank you, love these !

The red blouse by Aussie and designer and the light blue blouse preceding look great on you

I love the Donnie shirt.  I had a hysterectomy recently so I didn’t want anything tight and wanted something to slip over my head so I made the Donnie into a maxi dress.

Fabulous line up of blouses and shirts

I love watching these and getting ideas for future projects. I have the Pattern Emporium All In Easy shirt pattern. Made one up but I think I need to go up a size to get the looser fit that I like, plus I tried playing with color blocking and ended up with something that looks kind of like a 70's bowling shirt or a fast food uniform. But I have about three different fabrics just waiting to be made up into one. I love that there are SO MANY combinations in her patterns. One of my favorites right now is the Sew House Seven Remy Raglan, particularly with the puffed sleeve expansion and a split neck hack. It's just the perfectly floaty boho look that I love. (I just need to figure out how to change up the short sleeve version, because I don't like rolled sleeve cuffs.)

I agree with what you said about sometimes overthinking when trying to figure out pattern instructions. I spent I don't know how long a few months ago trying to figure out the instructions for a basic cuff on a sweatshirt and it wasn't working. Finally decided it was stupid, I'd just done the same cuff on a different pattern, I KNEW how to do a cuff without following their instructions. Problem solved. I think different ways of explaining things resonate with different people...what I find simple might have someone else scratching their head.

Love your videos Kristen - this has reminded me to use some of the patterns I’ve bought but not made up! I’ve just made the Sewing Therapy Faux Collar Shirt and Dress which is beautiful and very easy to sew especially with the fantastic YouTube video tutorial. Happy Sewing ❤

Such great information! Thank you Kristen.

Love all your tops you have inspired me to make some of them 😊
