Hey Cleo Just found your channel and love it have gone back and watched nearly all the videos, Just purchased the Gilbert Top and wanted your opinion on the sizing the amount of ease seems excessive to me. Thank you looking forward to your future videos, Cheers Tricia.
@cleow Жыл бұрын
Thanks so much! And excellent question--I made two Gilberts in pattern size 8, even though technically my measurements put me in the 10 to 12 range. The fit on the 8 is juuuust right, with a nice, neat (but not tight) fit in the underarms. This would be the main issue for me with sizing down too much (too snug under arms). I have a red rayon version (in my Mitchell trouser video, I think) and I like how it drapes closer to the body than my green linen version, if that helps you decide on sizing at all. 😁

Do you have any advice on how to get started on sewing and making your own clothes? I'm super interested but not sure what kind of equipment / materials are needed.
@cleow Жыл бұрын
Such a great question and topic! Getting your hands on a basic sewing machine and some inexpensive fabric could be a good way to get started. Just mess around and follow the machine's instructions to try out some stitches. Building confidence with a sewing machine is a good first step. Signing up for an online beginner sewing class could be helpful, too, with videos you can re-watch anytime, or over and over again. Closet Core Patterns has a really good online course, I think, and it includes patterns. I am sure there are a lot more, too.💜

The Patina top and Gilbert shirt are what I am dreaming of to purchase but haven’t found so, naturally, I should make my own. 😅 I read in the comments that you sized down from your measurements on the Gilbert Top, did you do the same for the Patina?
@cleow Жыл бұрын
Great question, and yes! I made pattern size Small but my measurements put me in medium. The pattern instructions mention a lot of ease in the biceps and shoulders, so it was a safe bet for me. I think you likely know your body type best. I tend to be pear shaped and smaller on my top half overall, so I look out for words like "roomy" or "full" or "lots of ease" before sizing down! 😆
