How to sew a QUICK & EASY cami? Full sewing and STEP-BY-STEP drafting tutorial.

Dear Sewing Friends, in this video tutorial I would love to show you how to make a very simple (but useful) wardrobe staple - a camisole. And... it has a bust darts! I know we have been all waiting for a design with bust dart, and I decided to start with a hands on method so that hopefully it gives a very practical understanding of where the bust dart comes from and how it is created in this case! Yes, it will require you to make a text garment, but you can't make something without putting in the effort. I truly hope you enjoy and make something beautiful for yourself!

What a fantastic combination: YOU and your patient calm teaching AND drafting something for larger fronted women ;-) I think I love you even more now!!! Need to find some time and space and practice fabric to have a go!!!! xxx

You're a god sent. I'm in desperate need of a Cami and the big 4s don't have a pattern. Thank you thank you💙

[marigold]

I just purchased some camisole fabric and look forward to trying the techniques that you’ve shared. Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video!

[raphaellelmr]

I've been struggling to find the perfect cami pattern for a while, darts never seem to fall in the right place, necklines are never right, etc... But now I feel confident to just draft my own using your video! So thank you Very much ! I adore the floral fabric you used 😊

[shanaazmohammed]

I like that idea of basting it first because knowing me I mostly get errors after finished sewing 😂, I NEVER like doing that but it helps A LOT.
This looks really nice as well, because here in Trinidad it's usually hot, so this is something nice I can try, thanks Alisa👍👍♥️

[hawkesburypickers]

Thanks for a very straightforward explanation. I always enjoy watching and then creating things.

All of your videos are by far the most gorgeous patterns! Looking through pinterest, it's always very skimpy clothing that I would never feel comfortable wearing! This tank is absolutely gorgeous and I can't wait to make it! You've really inspired me to make the jump from simple little projects to attempting to make clothes

[l.a.w.]

I absolutely LOVE this pattern. I really like the wider straps!!!!

[rikkib]

Oh my, what a stunning cami Alisa! I have a very popular cami pattern but didn’t feel it was for me (after making three versions). Yours is very similar but with less ease, wider straps and the addition of a bust dart. I totally want to try your diy. Also, I appreciate how to add a dart and move it to the side seams. I didn’t realize it was so simple. I’ll definitely use that technique in other garments. Excellent video, as always. Thanks for breaking it down to make it easy for us:)

[catfish]

Thank you so much I have struggled to find a camisole pattern this. Is excellent

[gsparks]

Thank you! You explained everything perfectly! I’m going to use your tutorial to make a slip. Just lengthen it and add a slit on the side.

[mrgarner]

What a beautiful garment! All my camis are embarrassing. I cannot find any that I like in retail. I don't like 'stretchy' fabrics that make them form-fitting. Your instructions and design make the garment 'skim' the body shape without defining imperfections. Your instructions are so well detailed. Thank you so much.

[elizabethswan]

Brilliant, I really loved this tutorial and sew along, everything was extremely clear, thank you so much.

[mknowles]

Fantastic video, very clear instructions going to make a pattern to sew.

[suemcarthur]

[katiasantos]

[Escapemom]

[hazelblair]

i am loving this. but i forget to thumb's up so going back the do that now.

[BeccyD]

I have about 1m of viscose I did not now what to do with. It will be a cami tomorrow!

[nettahardy]

Hi!💜💜💜This video was truly awesome! I only have one question. When drafting the pattern and writing the waist measurements, why did we use a quarter? I am a Fashion student. Is that just standard to use for a camisole?
