Best teacher ever. I’ve been sewing for almost 60 years and I’m still learning. You’re amazing.

Wow! I've just recently found your channel and am watching ALL your tutorials. I love your tips! Thank you so much for sharing your expertise with us! And you must do it for the fun of it because I've yet to hear you say, "today's video is sponsored by ...". You're a sewing saint!

Wow! I love the way that you showed and explained how to steam the dart area. I’ve never seen that before. It looks so professional, but also doable.

Can't wait to shop in the guys' section of the thrift store now for sweaters and t-shirts and play around! Your tutorials take the fear out of experimenting - thank you! Also going to finally unbox that serger that was gifted to me two years ago!

Love the serger thread hiding trick! I have always threaded them thru with an embroidery needle, which is fine, but this is so much quicker! Thanks!

I had no idea you could steam over a ham to shrink a knit like that. I love your videos!

Thanks so much! Yes, wool is especially lovely to work with because it can be steamed into shape.

Loved this idea! Just a thought, how about taking it one step further by adding 3 or 4 large matching buttons along the cross-over side? I think that would dress it up even more. Such a cute sweater. I have to try doing this. Thank you for another great tutorial.

@popopchicken 3 жыл бұрын

Awesome tutorial, Catherine! I learned a lot from you and I really enjoyed your cheerful and patient manner in explaining everything. I am in the process of upcycling an old stretch out women's cardigan into a wrap sweater (which should be much easier!) and this was really helpful. Thank you for sharing!

@CatherineSews 3 жыл бұрын

So glad you found it helpful! I hope your own wrap sweater turns out great!

@pegasusquilts 9 ай бұрын

So happy you popped up in my feed! No only os this a nice (of time-consuming) upcycle, it's a good way to try out how this style looks on you without shelling out big bucks for a ready to wear sweater or fabric and a pattern. You explain so well!

Haha, right!? It's like how chefs add a pinch of this and a handful of that. There are times to be precise, and times when it's ok to just eyeball it!

Wow, so AWESOME! I have narrow shoulders and garments most often drop off my shoulder point. Love how you just use a marker while wearing the garment you’re changing. Does the shoulder change you’re doing with this sweater work for cottons, etc?

@CatherineSews 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks for the lovely comment. Using the iron to reduce the fullness around the shoulder definitely works better with wools, but cotton knits will shrink in a bit as well.

Thank you for your lovely videos. I have been sewing many of my clothes for nearly 70 years 🙂 Still learning from you though. Nice new ideas. I have a question: what is the brand of your machine? And is it heavy?

@CatherineSews Жыл бұрын

Thanks for your lovely comment. My machine is a Babylock Sofia2. It's not too heavy.

Would it be possible to do this with an oversized hoodie?

Seeing your fingers get close to that needle, gives me the shivers, actually. I have a machine phobia...

@CatherineSews 3 жыл бұрын

Actually I know what you mean. When my students sew for the first time, it's terrifying to watch. It is a very tiny margin between totally in control and a giant OUCH!! In 16 years of teaching fashion and sewing, and probably 3000 students, it's happened 3 times that a student sewed their finger. Not pleasant, but none of them ever did it a second time!!

@jesshothersall 10 ай бұрын

My late Auntie Frances once sewed her finger into the fabric, when she told me, it made me focus very carefully from then on, so I have her to thank for not having done it myself!

@miaschu8175 Жыл бұрын

I love this upcycle! I adore wrap tops but they went out of fashion a while back. I want to make something similar, but with a wrap that you tie. Have you got a tutorial for that?

@CatherineSews Жыл бұрын

Hmmm, no I don't have one with a tie, but I like the idea!
