3 "Elevated Basics" I Regret Not Sewing Sooner

In today's vlog, I'm reviewing three elevated basic tops that I'm kicking myself for not sewing sooner! These aren't your average boring tops. They have subtle details that make an outfit look instantly put together, but they are still incredibly comfortable - and not as hard to sew as they might look! I'll walk you through the patterns I used (including a free one!), the fabrics I chose and show you how they look on me. Which one is your favourite? Let me know in the comments! I'd also love to hear from you if you have other recommendations you think I should try. You can also find me on Instagram ‪@SewVeryLaura‬ My fellow sewing retreat friends are: Sam ‪@sequingirlie‬ Kate @RipperSeams Julie ‪@Julie_sews_her_own_clothes‬ Mary @revitalised_sewist (Instagram) Patterns: McCalls M7874 view C (colour blocked sweatshirt) https://www.sewdirect.com/product/mcc... Burda Magazine 4/22 pattern #102 view B (you can purchase this as an individual pattern from the Burda website https://www.burdastyle.uk/knit-fabric...) Styla Reine top (free pattern https://littlelizardking.com/products...) I bought my sweatshirting fabric from amtextiles.co.uk My Burda top is made from a remnant of Lady McElroy jersey, and my Styla Reine is made in some cotton jersey I bought years ago from Material Girl Laura who sadly is no longer trading.
