Everyone, Basil Chapman, dials up 37S and P is up 10. Let's just go straight to some nitty gritties of the technical. This is Technical Friday with Chapman Wave Notations and Chapman Wave Analysis. So, my expression, a rectangle formation could last a lot longer than your patients. You can see this here. Look at the E-mini. It's really been trading between 2896 and 2892 pretty much since 10 o'clock. And it can keep doing that. And the whole thing is that every time it goes to the top, you think, oh my goodness, this is going to break out. And then it turns around. And then as it gets to the bottom, it's going to break down. Nope. It goes right back into the range. So, that happens until a certain point. And then, when it's at the higher level of a trading range, and you can see this now, this whole area is in the higher area of the low that was made this morning at about 8 o'clock when you were 28, 84.75. So, this trading benefit. Let me just do this right now. It looks like an oval pattern. Let's see if we're going to break to the upside or just keep going like this. That's the pattern that I'm looking at. The MACD is negative. Stochastic is negative. Yet the price is holding the 9 and the 14-period moving average in the 10-minute chart. The 5-minute chart has pretty much the same look. This has got a different, it's above a trading band that's formulated earlier on. It's in the upper level. What's the upper level? That's the upper level. It shows you here in the 2-minute chart. And the result, very often, not always, but very often is that at a certain point, the longer you go without a break to the upside, at a certain point, you might just nick the upside. In fact, this is A, B. This will be C right now. You can even go to D and just nick the upside. My evidence-based kind of rule of thumb. What is it called? It's called a... I kept reading that in this book. A really interesting book. The Undoing Project. They called it... I'll think of it in a moment. Oh, the word just slipped my mind. Four letters, five letters. I'll think of it. It's where things are like empirical. You're learning on the spot, and that's the evidence that you can use later on. Well, this is what it says that very often, the result of a very long rectangle is that you take out the low and you take it out quite sharply, but you still might just bounce above the top part first, but eventually you come down and you come down quite sharply. All right, enough with that. Let's go on. 2-minute chart. Enough to be talking about it. I was talking about crude oil just a moment ago. Look, high-level consolidation. My reading of this is that if crude oil can trade even for one day close above 63.30, then the 6509, 200-period moving average that it just plunged against, remember that October smashed to the downside all the way to December low from 76.90 to the 4261 on the continuous contract, that 200-period moving average when it was taken out the week of, the 2nd of November, 69 high, 40, 64 low, goes all the way down 24 points and now it's coming back and 6509 will be your target. If it can have one more bounce, it was, as I say, a close. Not just a bounce, but a close above 63. I'd say 28, 63, something around there. All right, next thing I want to look at is notation in the chapter-read methodology. Look, let's go through this very carefully. The Dow had a high yesterday of 26398.90. The low today was 26393.68. So it started off with a very nice, kind of a slow move to the upside and then it got a little more energy. Now it's got a plus sign, that doji candle, very small doji candle so far for the day on a Friday, after four days, five days after a gap to the upside. That was a big spike to the upside on the 1st of April. Taking out then the left side high of 26241 from 25th of February. Beautiful cup formation. What I am looking at here is that this should be based on the 120-minute chart. Oh, I shouldn't go to that one. Let me go to this one right here because this is the one that I always note. Share my subscribers. This one here shows you that we've gone to a peak E if there's no new high in this bar, 120-minute bar going for the next 20-something minutes. Now what's really important about this is that within the context of this pattern in the Chapman Wave methodology, a breakout in a cup and ladle. That's not a cup and handle.  So I don't like that. I love the Chapman Wave cup and ladle where it powers right through and then you start the ladle pattern and that says, yep, now you can come back and retest below. In this case, 26,101, which you did over there, 26,138. Didn't quite get there, but that was close. And, oh no, was that one? 26,122. No, it hasn't actually retested that significantly. Now what's really important about this is that there's just enough energy that says maybe we get a peak E in the 120-minute chart down and then we pop to slightly higher, whichever we five, as well as a leg F and that culminates this move. Monday, Tuesday, or next week, maybe into Wednesday morning, we have a bit of a pullback, a digestive phase, and here's what I'm really looking at. If you go to the XLK, this is the S&P Select Text Spider Fund. It made a high of 7 days, 26, three days ago. So a big deal. What's that mean? Have a look at this. Have a look at this weekly chart. Look at the left side. Look at the right side. Now look at the MACD. Look at this stochastic. Stochastic is actually holding, holding way better than it did when it made the high back in November into the October high, October the week of the fifth, at 76,27. Look at this beautiful decline 24% decline. Here's my midpoint, my plum line. There's a Chapman wave inside which target line, and it almost went to the week. It went to 75, 25, one point lower, one point and two cents lower. Last week, three weeks ago, that would have been an exact plum line, but that line is still active. It's called the Chapman wave target, target repellent line, the screen line right here. And that means now we might have to move it a little bit, but sometimes it takes a couple of days before it actually takes it out. But it turns out that this week on Wednesday, Wednesday, it went to 76, 26. Now what does that mean? It missed by one penny, hitting the previous all-time high. It missed by two pennies, taking a brand-new leg to the upside, a leg B, and a leg A, F slash A in the monthly chart. Amazing. I'll be right back. That was a Chapman, that was a 38, it's a piece of 11, it's a divergent state, bowed down to, I'll be back.

Secastic is very good at 90%, but the price action with higher highs and higher lows is extremely good. It is getting into, let me just show you something. Here, let's call this green. Let's call this red. And you'll see even the Chapman Wave inside track, repellent zone, it got into back in mid-March and then pulled back, but this time it hasn't even gotten close. I should say that. It did get close. The high of 76, 76, 26 on the 3rd of April just was hitting the pink line of 76, 47. All I can say is this is holding very well. I wouldn't be surprised if we just get into an area where you should see some pullback and that compartmentalization where we're looking at certain sectors. And that's what I did in my webinar, folks. The webinar's up. If you're interested in my subscription to my opening call, you'll get that webinar and we can check out any other webinar that you want. But at this particular point, that webinar is absolutely relevant to stocks and indexes and sectors that I was looking at, talking about. You can see from our portfolio that they've been active over the last few days working really well. The other thing is that I spoke about a couple of sectors, one in particular that has been a laggard. It came on quite strong today with one of the stocks having good earnings. We'll be looking at that very closely over the weekend and we'll probably start some positions on the next pullback there. So the other thing I want to look at was, if you are... I had a question about the IYT. Yeah, the IYT is very nice. Today is at 193.67. We are along this from 185 area. But the point here is that it's really important as far as I'm concerned, just in this particular phase right now, I want to see, regardless of what happens in the whole aircraft area sector, I want to see what happens to this particular very important index, the IYS transportation average ETF. Because if I can get some extra openness and it can actually close nicely today and by Tuesday or Wednesday or next week, it's getting closer. It's already at the Chapman Wave repellent zone right there. They can get into the Chapman Wave inside wedge target repellent zone into the 193s now. If we can even get to 195.30, somewhere around there, about a point and a half higher, by Monday or Tuesday, then all of a sudden I'm looking at a target of 199, the high of 199.09 from where was this November? December, the week of the 7th. That ugly candle high where the transport just absolutely fell out of bed. 199 down to 155, 40 points in just three and a half weeks. So I'm looking at that and I'm saying it would be very good chart wise because this could turn into an inverse. Now this one I actually say is a potential inverse. Inverse head and shoulders because all the action after the high that was made back in September of 2018 from the 209.44 and then 209.33 Chapman Wave two bar reversal says that the neck is really at 199.09 and that the target would be 209.44 inverse of the head and shoulders. So that's very good. Zined, someone mentioned in the den I'm going to go to Regeneron first or so mentioned in the den but first up Regeneron trading at, no it's not Regeneron, it's Replygen Corporation of course. RGEN trading at 57.13 up 17 cents. Once a chart formation is formed and you get the lowercase H that goes to a lowercase M that can stay there for a little while and you can see this has a habit of making the arch formation, big spike and then an arch formation. So the high that was made back on the 4th of March at 63.41 had a low, a little dojo candle low on the 7th of March at 55.62 runs up to a peak B minus because it's fading and that becomes an arch formation. I say give it a little time if it's on your list, if you do own it that's fine and you probably own it from lower down but I'd just say be a little careful because if it starts to trade at 50, under 55.80 then that 54.55 towards a pre-moving average becomes a target. I think it's not going to get there. I think this is support right, maybe not. Yeah, if it does take out 55.80 I think it's going to test the 54.55 here. Give it time. The best case is just a chop chop chop the best case is this scenario right here. Look, just keeps chopping around low-case H goes to a low-case M and that arch formation look at this, it just keeps going on testing your patients, testing your patients. Okay, so just be careful with this one on the shorter term, a longer term that high in the 70s back in I think it was November of last year and I plunged down to the 47s. It's a really nice balance but it's testing it, it's saying I'm not getting ready for this balance. I think it needs time. You want time. Let's hope that it holds a 55. It doesn't do anything off just it goes sideways. It just hangs around. It doesn't do very much under that. And then it has another balance and then within about six weeks all of a sudden you see it climbing to the 61, 60 area. No, 58, then the 60s and then the 61s and then I would say to you you know what? This is going to look good for the end of the year but you need patients right now. It has to hold that whole 55, 54 area. Next question is Zyne. Well, is that a comment? One is a comment and one is a question. Whoa, Zyne, unbelievable. 875, up a dollar, over 3, up 13%. Good eye, I code in the den. And it's still only in Leg C in the weekly chart. Leg B in the monthly. Very nice. But you want me to do some work on... I write here. Kara. Kara. Kara is C-A-R-A. This is Kara Therapeutics. Oh, you're into these biotechs. Good. Doing nice here at 90.69. A-B-C-D. It's just stalling at this area at 19.70. C-A-R-A, up 10 cents. Very nice action. I would not be surprised if you know... This time next week that we've seen it testing the 1990 area even if it has a little pop to the 20 but it's making high highs and high lows. I do think it wants to come back and test these moving averages here. I like it. I don't want to tell you anything about this if you're in it. Just keep it. It's a biotech. You know, biotechs can do anything. All I'm saying is it looks good. It's done well. It has a stair step move. It has a good rally. And then it takes weeks. Then it has another good rally. Good rally. Peak A weekly. Goes from the 12 area. Pops up to the 16.5. Pulls back. Then it goes to... I believe that there was a peak. Yeah, 17. That's what I thought. Then it goes to B. Peak B. Pulls back. Then it goes to... Get in the D. Announcement of D. Yeah. It's just very nice. When I buy it, when I sell it right now, I just wait for a pullback to the low 90s and I'll have to assess. I'll be back. Downs up to 34. It's up to 10. You've got urgency. I'll be right back. Since 1984, Basil Chapman has been using the Chapman Wave methodology to advise traders of his expert market opinion. While originally hand drawing charts from the late 1970s into the 1980s, Basil noticed that prices under most circumstances virtually always had a certain number of legs to the upside before declining sharply. Later Basil found that computer software which included the standard market technical indicators enhanced the degree of accuracy in calling price turns as well as market trend calls. Thus was born the Chapman Wave sequence.

For more information just click the Think or Swim banner on the front page of TFNN.com Hi folks, we're back. I had a question and again about W which is wayfaring. I showed this the other day Doji Top at 17317 on the 21st of the daily chart of March it's pulled back a little bit it went down to the 149 actually that was quite a bit 30% sorry 30 dollars but now it's trading at 154.78 The monthly chart had a peak C Magdy is still strong. That to me is really important. Circassian pullback still good at 84% but pullback and the monthly chart I've got it as a peak F but I suspect that wayfaring is in for the long haul and this is not this is going to be recycling I'm even going to put it in now I think F slash B I think it's going to be going high I think it's here to stay I don't know anything about it other than what I occasionally read but looking at the chart I followed it for a long time I think we even had it for a very brief moment did we ever have it I've done the notation and everything I think we had it for a brief moment and then we got out of it so I like this now is it ready at this particular point to move in a cup formation I don't think so based on the Magdy and stochastic so I'm going to say hold off if you're in it and you're being for a long time no problem just keep it it's a long-term position but just now would you say to me would I buy it would I sell it I would do nothing right now I'd like to monitor it it's on my list in my opening call traders corner list the bottom I've got W there as a stock at some point I would like to own I don't know how we'll do it because if we get too many I can't get it but at this point I like it but I don't want to buy it I want a little more time holding the 145 area maybe if it goes over 160 I'll have to rethink it I'm prepared to give up some points rather to have the trend confirm with technicals to the upside even though the weekly and the monthly are still very good I just need time I've got a feeling it's going to give us an opportunity to look at and I'll mention it for subscribers I might personally not have it in the opening call but I might mention that this is a very good thing in fact that's what I'm going to start doing I've had a lot of requests but I just do the analysis and a lot of people would do their own homework I just don't have time to do every single thing we even have had some options it takes time even the futures I do every day so yeah so let me just think it through over this weekend how I'm going to be very clear about certain aspects of the traders corner and my opening call because people have asked me a lot of times you don't have to actually have it but do an analysis so that we can look at it that's different to the analysis that you do in the den because it's probably going to be far more comprehensive that's all so the next question is you went a long oh that's right I remember seeing that so yeah so this is if you are long and you're long below 150 I would have no problem whatsoever just keep a whatever your stop is just keep that stop give it a little while just give it another another week I think the Dow is getting a little tired today you've got CVX moving so you've got the oil multinationals Home Depot it's just had a spectacular move I love that move I think it's employment as it is fabulous results in the employment I'm just looking at this and I'm saying you know this is this is really a golden era that we're in people just don't look at it that way but it is a golden era not for everybody it's never for everybody it cannot be for everybody but Home Depot goes from 215 down to 157 what was that low 158.09 and now it's trading at 185 almost 30 points higher I like it look there's wayfair so here's the pattern that we're looking in wayfair you see you come down quite sharp you make a little H pattern it holds very well and then it breaks out that's kind of what I'd be looking at that's exactly the pattern that I'd be looking at in wayfair so S&P in the den here's your template that you could use I'm only talking about the pullback from a low to a high that's pullback pretty reasonably and now it's got the lowercase H that might turn into cup formation that's what you want to be looking at so okay now the other thing that I'm looking at at this particular point and a lot of questions it has a statement there are two statements that I want to get to one is how do you explain that you had all these signals that the weekly chart especially in the Dow has been so strong for so long and we as for subscribers we've had some really long positions but our long position with Dow we did have a really good 40 to 60% gain in the you Dow three times long option call that we had but I've not been long all the way through to the top from the bottom to the top just missed it and that there's no excuse I mean Magdi gave it the stochastic gave it all each time I was looking at it either got away from us because you were gapping up to the upside was very difficult to do I'm just looking at money management and that every time we pull back we just pull back briefly look at this all the way from the bottom I'll just open this up and you can see so I have no excuse I kept talking every single weekend but I sent out my triple my my chart with my three time parameters for the Dow daily weekly month monthly I kept saying the week is looking very good the actions very good everything was there I kept talking about a bush we have had no shorts on any stocks for weeks and weeks and weeks I've been very positive I have no excuse why we actually didn't put that trade and I have to be honest about things it just helps me because then I can go on to the next thing without anything hanging over my head my subscribers know that I'm just saying I don't have an excuse for it and I did my big mistake really was the SMH because I I usually don't take in the fundamentals and treat them with great respect because I know that over all the years they've very often failed and absolutely we got a total failure with the shipping and even now and I'm talking to a couple of people actually about the semiconductors they're still telling me orders are not there we're not seeing an increase maybe we're looking out six months half of the year but at this particular point there's still tremendous weakness in the actual fabs and maybe some individual companies also there's something coming on in China oh look at this there you are this is the first time we're looking 2891.75 in the E-mini on the two-minute charge going straight down to the 200-period moving average 291.25 whoa and it does only up 15 SPs up eight let's see what happens here there it is so let me finish that semiconductor there are companies you see they have funding they get government funding in China and there are smaller companies that are coming on with products that are going to impact the semiconductor industry quite heavily it might impact it because there is so much demand and they're just filling in demand I don't know I have no idea it's not my area of expertise but I am saying that I was looking at it to be two points away from an all-time high little doji candle in the SMH right now are heighted over 112.67 that's less than two points from the all-time high 114.55 and I'm still hearing about the semiconductor companies the orders are not coming in like they should there is I don't know whether they've used up inventory or not maybe that's the case but look at the price the price is no they're wrong they will get the orders and there'll be some regression to the mean maybe it comes down to 102 as orders in the next quarter start to improve I don't know all I can say is a little toppy right here with the doji candle I'll be right back if you're in the CD market and

love the stock everything about it was great yes I did I think I did this all in a now I don't remember if I gave it as a as a stock we were looking at LPG is the name of it I don't even know what it does Darian LPG limited whatever it is you see that peak see that I've typed in over there right here I did this I think it was last week last weekend yes it was right there so we've got Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday so it was right I saw it I think maybe Sunday did something work on it on Monday and I do a whole I did a whole analysis of it in Chapman wave methodology and what it was was that I did the cup formation it was trading I think at 6.54 at the time I'm pretty sure that's what it was because that's where I did this left side right side price time match and it said that by the 2nd of April it should hit this high right here of the 12th of December at 6.79 so and then I thought you know risk reward I don't really want to have subscribers because I know I have subscribers that like little fun things to do they know the risks they know the reward but they just say you know what there are some stocks that if you can get into it and has a big move like we've had big moves in the options positions we've had but I looked at it and I said you know I just I can't do it right now I love everything about it and if I recall it didn't have very heavy volume so that was another issue well look at it today I just saw it and I forgot all about it I just see it it's on this particular list that I have is trading it over a dollar higher at 7.68 since we looked at it I don't remember if I sent it out or not it's up 46 cents what do you do I mean there are look at this A look at the single leg A in the weekly chart I love everything about it I do to this moment I still don't know what it is and what it does Dorian LPG Limited so it's obviously and maybe in English company foreign company trading at $7.67 LPG is a symbol very tough I love this sort of thing because there are people that are able to to just say you know what I know the risk I know the reward I'm going to get it but what would have happened if the next day it kind of gapped up it closed the day I was looking at it I'm almost sure it was this maybe just getting it ready for the first so it closed either at $6.42 or $6.54 and then it kind of gaps up and it's gone that's really tough so I never know quite what to do but I did it as an analysis you can see I did everything look I did I put the up arrow I labeled the ABC A peak A peak B and there was my C tough stuff but there it is I was a little surprised to see it and that kind of fits in that category of what do you do now so exactly that's what I spoke about in my my webinar the other night what do you do now for what you've missed well you've got three positions that you could take one is you just say you know I missed it and he says I've got to wait for a pullback and I'm waiting for a pullback and you can look at a particular level to to pull back maybe it's a 3% maybe use percentages maybe use a previous trough on the left side and you look at it and you say where could I get it let's just take any old stock let's just take let's take federal express I haven't seen what it's doing today but there it is it's trading at not wrong wrong chart right here it's trading at there it is so it's trading at in leg E I guess a good example leg E it's above the previous higher peak effort on the 13th of February it won 87.04 it it dropped down to the 167.61 level on the 8th of March and now it's it's at a real quick turn around a nice cup formation look at this cup formation right there to right there beautiful breakout this is a cup chapter wave cup and ladle breakout which always goes to at least a D or an E and then you've got to assess and sometimes it has an instant restart and then E could be E to A you say oh E look at that weekly chart with a 195 200 pre moving amp well you can do two things so you can do three things one is you can look at it and say you know I don't buy things like this even though it's broken out and that's very good I'm just going to have to wait for a pullback and you can make a level of 18704 from the 13th that's that's two and a half points or so I'll start looking at it again to get in all you say you know what this is on fire this is moving it was a absolute look at the monthly chart it goes from the 270 80s area down to the most recent low 147 150 150 and now straightening 189 up 39 and that's that's pretty good isn't it up 39 from the low what can I do so you say you know what I'm going to buy some right here and I will add and now you can use what you were doing before you can use that as a little bit here maybe because it's extended but you can say I want I'm putting in a bit at 184 that means my stop has to be over five points for this and then you have to put a stop it and that's the way that's your plan it's not like you're going to be buying down just averaging no your plan is to buy a little here and then add to it later and you can even have a third position if you really love it but that's something else or you know what you do you say you know what at 189 it looks fantastic any pullback towards the 187 level I'm buying the 190 call look you've just covered yourself if you're wrong you know exactly where you're lost you know exactly what your stop is and that's the best way to do it and I've tried to do that as much as I can doesn't always work out but that's that's a plan I like that kind of plan all right next thing if you have time advanced micro yep I did want to look at advanced micro devices because Intel advanced micro kind of led this move to the upside weekly chart advanced micro is in leg E at 30 it's at 29 right now at 2969 two days ago it hit 30 2995 so this is A B it's in leg C peak C it looks very strong MacD's at 82% I'd prefer if it was at 90% but it is at 82% sorry this stochastic and the MacD's very good I like this very much and what I am going to say is well if you have time could you look at advanced micro device I have daddy peak C yes JB in the dead so this is a brand new buy that was inverted have that one right there that's your second cell signal and here comes a buy this is a buy mode daddy a buy mode weekly and the monthly is actually inverting to a buy signal that could very well become a buy mode advanced micro is doing very well I'll be right back I was at 15 S&Ps up I'm certain you are or strive to be one of the best of the best in everything you do in life it's the most common

about that the market was coming back this was his his forte I mean this was economy economy right he never spoke about the positive it upset me yep I understand the negatives and he did that very well but he never spoke about the positive and now he's going to go to the Fed not good remember about two months ago I said my theory has always been that Republicans resign and Democrats stay what

Hello and welcome friends! I'm Philip Magnus and this is my last of three catch-up reviews. I'm playing catch-up with myself, incidentally, as I'm bringing three reviews of Rob Hayes' books, the first three in the War Eternal series, to YouTube. These are all the reviews once I posted back in 2020 as blog posts, but now I thought it would be a good time to transition them into YouTube. It's exciting, it's good, it's fun, and as soon as I'm done with this, on Monday the 30th of January, I will also start uploading and doing all kinds of fun things on Sins of the Mother and their Speeding Heart, the fourth and fifth books of the War Eternal series which, incidentally, conclude this much beloved, by me and many others, fantasy series, dark fantasy series. Without further ado, let's jump into From Cold Ashes Risen. If I learned anything from Rob Hayes over the first three novels in his War Eternal series, it is this. That creature of shadow and nightmare wrapped around the core of everything you are. Well, it was your best friend all along. From Cold Ashes Risen is the conclusion of a self-contained trilogy telling the early chapters in Escarra Halzien's life and story. A better ending to these chapters I couldn't have hoped for. Escarra proves herself one of the most satisfying, dark villainous protagonists I have come across take-headed and uncompromising, violent and resolute. Her connection with the horror of the underworld, Sever Eyes, the creature known as Serakis, continues to be sent to stage. The nightmare is Escarra's ace in the hole, her trump card when everything else fails, and her constant companion. The extension of that bond throughout Cold Ashes will bring any emotionally engaged reader great satisfaction. The imagination Rob Hayes shows does not fail to impress. I've written elsewhere about the delightful way in which Source Magic works. Hayes has continued to build on top of what was a very solid foundation in along the razor's edge. Expanding and adding layer upon layer of complexity. The summoning of demons through the magical school Sorcerer's School of Impermancy, for example, is a process both graphic and painful and pretty disgusting too. Every demonic entity that is summoned passes through the Sorcerer's body in some way, either through cuts, through vomiting, up of us growing, flashy monstrosity, or even through a horrifying belch. Gut-frenching stuff. It doesn't end with the magic either. The worldbuilding is an inspiration. There's much that might be familiar to it but always twisted in thrilling novel ways and even more that is fresh and exciting to dive into. Anytime the book expanded on the gen and round this world's self-styled cruel, capacious gods, I couldn't look away. Let's return to my earlier example. Reading about how Impermancy works, I was itching to start working on a D&D seminar or demonologist class or subclass that makes use of this very unique and visual magic. I was immediately thinking about what the mechanics of that would look like in the game. It's not that Asher's risen draws you to read alone. It inspires you to participate, to enter into a dialogue with its rich ideas. Which is no small accomplishment. And it's not translated into the worldbuilding alone. Some of the lines Rob has penned struck so deep. I wanted to do nothing so much as show them off to my friends, to the world at large. Here's one. The Iron Legion shook his head. There is no reasoning with you. It is the last recourse of those with no reason to accuse others of being beyond it. Such words strike to the heart of things well beyond the fantastic Donde. There's, again, to the prose, to the reflexive rhetorical quality to it. At the early onset of the second book, The Lessons Never Learned, that inward examination was almost wearying. But Hayes has evaded that trap this time, in part because of the sheer ground he covers, but also because Eska's supporting cast draws her out in more challenging ways than ever before. Her allies were always an intriguing bunch, but her foes have never been more challenging, never more loathsome, never more personal. Conflict is near constant past the opening first act, and the character work that comes with it, both for Eska and her friends, hard, horror line, Imiko, BioKid, is riveting. The war tunnel has shaped up to be my favorite fantasy trilogy of 2020. I can think of a more consistent close to a series read during that weird year, then from Cold Ash's risen. Rob Hayes has outdone himself with perhaps the darkest fantasy novel he's written to date. In some ways it's the most hopeful too, and the one that sees a character of his grow to new heights. My advice, treat yourself to this exemplary trilogy, you shouldn't regret it. And if it proves not to be enough, well, soon I'll be telling you all about Sins of the Mother and Death's beating heart as well. Fascinating conclusions as they are to this war eternal. See you next time, and don't forget to subscribe, like, share, whatever it is, or read a damn book. Bye!


Well, what do you know? We are rolling right into summer. I feel like simplicity and the big four are just like catching up from Like leaving us hanging for so long So we have buttery summer collection now We're gonna take a look at this if you've never seen one of my first impression videos before we just kind of look through the entire sewing collection sewing pattern collection together and I assess it for Fit and fabrication and kind of just like what my thoughts are about it overall in general and You guys reply in the comments and let me know what you guys think and we just have a good time chatting about patterns as if we were like Sitting at your way and looking at the books together, so We're kicking things off with we're gonna skip all of these little kids clothes because I don't so little kids clothes And I don't know it feels a little bit weird to me to like Analyze fit on kids and so I mean and they're always cute, right? Like they're always just gonna be Stinking adorable. Look at this So jumping right into the women's patterns. We have a Mrs. Jacket vest with belt top dress and pant Mrs. Jacket and vest with belt. Oh vest with belt is one thing Okay, got it got it got it got it. This is one of their wardrobe patterns I really really love these because you can make a capsule wardrobe You can make an entire season's worth of outfits in this one pattern You buy a few different fabrics that coordinate with each other and bing-bang boom. You're good to go This one has or includes an online jacket or vest with a matching tie belt side carriers Buttoned epaulets and sightseeing pockets. It also has a fitted knit top and dress that has a neck and armhole bands and then fitted pants have waist facings invisible zipper and Hook and I with a tapered leg. So woven jackets. I'm sorry. Yeah jacket vest and pants and then a knit top and dress Yes, okay, so take a look at each of these little coordinates here or quadrants. This is the vest super cute interesting choice for summer This is feeling a little bit more spring or fall to me. I'm not wearing layers in the summer But I guess maybe if you have like a I don't even know for a cold office But it is really cute outside of the seasonal Confusion it has this really big lapel. These are the epaulets. It's talking about belt carriers a nice big They're calling it a belt. It's really a tie sightseeing pockets This is the little knit dress. Okay, so butter it gets really known for in my mind.  So knit t-shirt dress can't go wrong Super comfortable easy to wear This is the jacket version of the vest. We just looked at in a print Same design just with sleeves, but it's also shorter. Yes. Yes Shorter and then here's the tank top. So the same as the dress just cropped and then here's your pant Now the pant have a flat front. There's not an elastic in sight Really kind of she goes, you know the store she goes. That's that's kind of how I equate buttery brand, you know She's a mom she works she has a life. She's social, you know You can apply any of these depending on your fabric choice would really be like the The way to kind of make these garments stand out. I would love to see the pants With like the shirt tucked in or something. I don't think we're gonna get that. Oh Here's the back of the jacket. So it has this pleat also. I Don't I think it's center back seam and then it opens into a pleat I want to see the line drawings too Because now this looks like this is all a pleat Okay The back of the pants look great back of the tank looks awesome, too Yeah, the dress fits wonderfully. There's no pooling here That would be my biggest concern with kind of like a shift dress is that there's enough width in the hip That all of this just floats nicely over the body Okay, here's the back of the envelope. We're gonna look at the bigger versions of the line drawings to see if there's anything we missed but So suggested fabrics for the coat vest and pants. I love that they separated it out We have cotton twill linen satin and silk Yeah, maybe like not all silks, but like silk twill Satine linen. Yeah, for sure, of course with a well bottom weights really you could even do your jacket and vest out of that Suitings maybe even if they're a little bit less drapey a little bit more structured and then C&D are 35% stretch Knits, I love that they put the percentage on there I don't know if they're listening to me or not But I just keep saying it until it happens and then I pointed out When it does happen to acknowledge like reinforce a positive behavior In the hopes that they will start doing it to all the brands. So if you're listening, we love this, okay? Some suggestions are jersey Ponting it now. I don't think Ponting it. It's gonna have a 35% cross gray and stretch Unless it's really lightweight and then it might like barely barely Ribbon it is much stretchier than Ponting it. So You know This I think is the most helpful thing which is why I like seeing the percentage more than necessarily these things Because you can get an idea of Like where you're supposed to be regarding stretch And then if it's not as stretchy, you know to size up if it's super stretchy, you know to size down And then notions wise you're gonna need some buttons an invisible zipper and a hook and I so not a ton of expense there This comes in sizes 8 to 26. I Think it's broken and into two right here. So it's 8 to 16 and then 18 to 26 and then Finish garment measurements are not included on the back of the envelope. So Womp womp, but I think that when you have when they have to include so many Different pattern pieces pattern like there's five patterns in one. So they have to put a lot of info back here So I guess okay fine, but but before you buy it I would for sure I Guess you have to do it in store You can only get you can only see the finished garment measurements in store, which is kind of annoying Especially if you're in between sizes. Oh gosh. Yeah, I don't know. I see I see the argument on both sides Okay, let's look at the line drawings really quickly We have okay, so here's the jacket. Okay. Okay. Okay. I see now Yeah, relatively simple jacket to sew considering it makes such an impact. I think there's just this little facing here on the lapel This is a facing also So you got to assume this kind of wraps around and then comes down on the inside of the jacket here There's this little stitching thing, which is nice and then that opens up into your pleat. I Actually think I kind of love this with just a button right here and like for go the belt You know, you don't always have to have a belt There's the best version that's long and also consider, you know cropping this and make it this is two lengths But you can make it any length you want Yeah, I'm here for like a simple Jacket Vests are really in so I think you're gonna see a lot of this in the fall So go ahead and grab this now for sure. Okay, here's the tank top and dress very simple Okay, you can sew this super super easily There's it's like not super finicky when it comes to applying the bindings Especially because you have actual pattern pieces for this if you've ever done like an indie pattern Where they're like just measure it and figure it out and you're like whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa But it's not that straightforward. Okay. Um, so yeah, really really straightforward all of your like Um mid-weight jerseys would be super great out of this to get the structure that they used or like they suggested the Lightweight Ponty, but just be careful because Ponty isn't really a summer fabric. It's kind of like not breathable So so yeah, there's some options there the lighter weight you go with your fabric Like I wouldn't go like bamboo jersey like that would just cling to your body Maybe maybe for the tank top, but for the dress I just feel like you need something that's gonna stand away from your body just a little bit and then the pants We have these nice big darts in the front and back Side zipper and then there's a facing on the inside. So your classic like straight leg, you know pencil pant So yeah, I love a wardrobe pattern next we have a women's shirt and shorts Okay, here for the women's patterns after doing Vogue that has none And also was it who was it new look doesn't have any either Happy to see we're back to size inclusivity here All right So this is a shirt and shorts fitted shirts have collar collar band bust darts long sleeves of pleat button cuffs button front closing top stitch trim and narrow hem view a has long rolled sleeves so the wrong side shows and Button tabs The I'm sorry pleated shorts have side front pockets Okay, fly front zipper carriers and length variations. You see has turned back cuffs So I think that means the wrong side shows to and view D has a stitched hem They're rating this easy That's The sizing is 20 to 28 and 30 to 38 so It's not this is my problem that I always say when it comes to women's patterns outside of like know me and maybe maybe maybe McCalls like It's just not Special it's a little bit too basic and I know that you plus size girlies are looking for something cool unique I mean, I don't know though at the same time like that last time. We just looked at for misses. That's not that unique and interesting So maybe I'm just like expecting too much from all the brands And that I need to respect each brand's kind of vision in which case if this is like the Chico's woman, right like This kind of tracks So okay, I retract my previous statement So what we have here though is a button down like a button-up shirt With a collar and a collar stand. That's what makes me think this is not an easy pattern. That's tricky to do plus the button-placket and then you have the sleeve with the cuff and the Little vent so interesting that they chose easy same thing for the shorts with the fly front This isn't easy. That was that must be an oversight because those all of that together is really difficult to achieve But God the styling is just really something else Yeah, the shirt is fine enough I always always always point this out when it comes to plus size the shoulder seams seem to always be too long and I know that we've got to create some extra room here for the bust but then that should be Taken back in for the shoulder Like for example her shoulder joint is like way up here and okay fine. It's not supposed to sit at the top of her shoulder So it comes down to here maybe you know what I mean? I just always feel like these are way way way too long I don't think that this sleeve head has like a very big Like shoulder what would be the word for it like a like the top of the sleeve pattern, you know It's like a bell shape. I think it's flatter than it is pointier Which means it shouldn't be all the way up on her shoulder, but this just feels really slouchy And I don't know that that was the intent We're also getting maybe because she has her hip pop. We're also getting some Draglines here, which would indicate that the bust isn't fitted well But that again that could just be her pose So let's see what other pictures we get the illustrations are just really hard to like Assess Because I mean is that even like a shoulder seam? I don't know. It's just sort of like a guess This one seems to sit where the actual human models did but I Don't know. I don't really trust that. Oh Then they tied it up. Why is the styling on the illustration like 99 times but 99% better than Then this Yeah, I just don't know if even like the everyday plus-sized woman is wearing knee-length shorts Are you guys I don't I mean I have eyeballs and not on the streets like I see what people wear I'm not seeing These aren't even like really Bermuda style. They're they're kind of too baggy for Bermuda's Huh, maybe it's the two things together. I don't know. This is just like throwing me off and also this this is a lot That is a lot of extra fabric there So I'm not sure like what their full-sized block What size that's based on versus what size she is versus like, you know, I don't know if I don't know. Maybe it's just this one particular pattern. We'll keep an eye out, but We have a and B so the both of the tops which are really the same top just One you roll up the sleeves another when you don't Shambray cotton-shirting crepe, which I think is what they used on the hot pink one And then crinkle It's supposed to say gauze it says gauge, but it's supposed to say gauze And then for the shorts gabardine lightweight denim linen blends twill. Yeah, any of your bottom weights would be suitable for that buttons and buttons and zipper and hook and bar So the sizing we went over 20 to 28 30 to 38 No finished garment measurements on this pattern envelope either Which for this one's not a huge deal simply because The shirt isn't very fitted at all the shorts are at the waist, but Yeah, not yeah Not ideal, but not the end of the world We also never saw like the full waistband of the shorts She they did that tie-up thing, but it was still like covering most of it. You do have two front pleats here and one backed art This appears to be A straight waistband, which means it should sit at her natural waist It does look like it is in the illustration. I can't tell if it is here or not the tie-up version Yeah, yeah, it looks like it's up there If that's the case then i'm wondering No, it looks fine And when they show us the back of the shorts they have the freaking shirt covering it up so God it makes me not want to trust I have like I don't know if it's like Trauma surrounding like misleading model photos or what but I don't know this is starting to feel a little bit weird I guess maybe just muslin this one would be my best advice Or the very least tissue fitted Okay, now we have This is the same thing, okay, okay, so we're doing All of the women's versions are going to have a mrs counterpart and They're going to be separate pattern numbers. So the same way that muck hauls is doing it um So same exact description They put the shorter shorts On this girl on the actual model this time Okay, now that i'm looking at her shoulder it seems to be really long too And this illustration is saying that I don't it said what's throwing me off. I think is that it said Fitted shirt And so it shouldn't have A wide shoulder like that if it's fitted if it's fitted it's fitted Or call it fitted with a drop shoulder. That's kind of weird too, but like What is it? This one also because it's like dipping in right here makes me feel like it is Too long for her there is room in the sleeve cap for this to go up and over her shoulder It's not doing that. So that's what's causing this little dip Does that make sense? Other than that she's not getting the same drag lines as the women's version Um, so the bust You know is suitable for her I mean even so this is the illustration of the women's modeled version And they just tucked it in rolled up the sleeve like they know that this is cuter than what they were presenting On that model Like why style it with the shirt untucked I get like okay one picture of the shirt untucked to show us how Long it is and whatever else but then Helpless visualize this being cute Because this isn't it Oh, this one they just took the shirt right off. Okay So here is The back of the shorts the crotch curve looks okay It looks it looks okay. Um, this is what's concerning me the dip um The dip means that there's not enough rise. There's not enough fabric to go up and over her bum and she doesn't even have a very big bum so Pretty average standard bum here and we're still getting the dip So that's a little bit concerning. Um So all of this is the same and still no finished garment measurements. All right four to 12 I think and then 14 to 20 maybe I'll look at the main page here in a second um Hmm Yeah, four to 12. Oh, they crosses over four to 12 and 12 to 20 In theory, this is really cute and cool. I do like the shorts I just don't know. I just I don't I'm not very confident about the fit of this one Of like the pattern drafting so I would want to just double triple check that before I cut into any of my fabric Okay, now we have mrs. Knit lounge top dress and pants Lounge top dress and pants. Okay, button front top or dress have split neckline Front released pleats Shaped him and stitched him's View a has short sleeves view b armhole is finished with purchase bias tape Okay, semi fitted straight like pants have elastic waist Excuse me. Okay, so Oh, man. Okay. Um Okay, because they're calling this lounge I'm assessing it under the guys of it being Like hang out at home Right. Isn't that what lounge means? um This it just feels like a lot to be lounging buttons These pleats that uh or these darts that open up This little stand collar um Why why we can wear this out? Yes, I'm not being inappropriate. Am I I don't think? so I think a knit dress with all these style details is Perfectly suitable for the outside world um Yeah, I don't know I'm being thrown by the Like they're calling it lounge. So I'm gonna like remove that from my mind And we're gonna just assess this as if it were not lounge I mean lounge pants for sure because they're just elastic waist their knit You know, whatever but this top is like super nice I mean you put a little heel and some jewelry and a purse on her and she's ready to go Okay, so this is a little bit illustrative illust illustrative I know I like to add syllables to words on accidents on accident. So Illus Is that it illustrative? I doesn't feel right Of what I was trying to explain earlier when there isn't enough room in the hip You get this little bit of pooling. This is not a sway back This does not require a sway back adjustment. This requires a either full But adjustment or just greeting out at the hips a little bit more Just a little bit more so that it glides nice and smoothly over the bum Okay, just because you're getting pooling Does not always mean it's a sway back. Okay. I cannot reiterate that enough I think the term sway back and this way back adjustment is overused in home sewing More often than not it's a Circumference fit issue rather than a vertical fit issue. You can always double check that against the waist Markings on the pattern pieces and your bust waist and hip, you know How they have the horizontal markings check those against yourself first And then determine Which adjustment to make Okay, moderate stretch knits 35 stretch cross grain cotton interlock french terry in jersey Yeah, all those would be great If you're going to be wearing this for the outside world, you know, you can go into even like double knits and Um, like cotton jerseys and things like that Five buttons buttons single fold bias tape. I did want to touch on that for a second Bias tape finishing for this is fine It will remove any stretch though, so You can buy stretch bias binding you can make it out of this fabric Um, but buying the packaged stuff that's like that woven really stiff stuff Will Maybe cause some issues in terms of like the stretch and how it like hugs your Body this looks good, but I don't know what they used. So just keep that in mind as well Um, where's the back? So we have and then elastic for the waist band of the pants. Um, eight to 16 18 to 26 on the size of range Finish garment measurements. Okay, finally. So we do have Wow two and a half inches of ease in the bust. Oh, this is a knit garment. Okay, so Two and a half would be suitable even if it were woven For this type of fit. So I would consider maybe sizing down um, the waist is kind of negligible for the for the top And then they only give us the hip measurement for the pants Which that has four inches of ease in the hip again That's kind of suitable for woven's too Um, maybe two inches in the hip if it were knit So a little bit oversized, I think for a knit garment But yeah, I don't see why this is I mean this kind of reads a little bit pajama But this doesn't Yeah, I'm worried that I don't understand that I'd wear that everywhere Maybe they just have like a category that they had to like check off and they're like this one seems close enough Okay, Mrs. Pants and Four Links by Palmer Flesh. So Palmer Flesh is the brand where you learn the tissue fitting um Which honestly Intriguing to tissue fit with the tissue fitting method with the tissue fitting experts Shorts and pants because that's where a lot of people have an issue um, this one has four lengths Waistband with optional belt carriers fly front zipper closure side seam pockets and optional side slits So from the like crotchline up They're all the same And then you have the ankle length of the slit The above ankle length with the slit Bermuda and then mid thigh Yeah, I mean if you've tried some of the other, um, I love how this mimics this cute with the notch also I love all that notching. Um If you've tried the other Pants fitting methods top down center out You've tried, you know making a muslin. You've tried making your own Like using your own measurements to make pants if you tried all of that and none of it works And you haven't tried the tissue fitting method I mean Give it a go. It's definitely interesting. So what it is is you Figure out your size you cut your size Try it on with the tissue like you pin up the side seams for the all the seams with the tissue Put that on and then on the pattern pieces themselves are the lines for where you would make the various adjustments So i'm certain that they have a full belly adjustment on the front and a full seat adjustment on the back They might even have like rise crotch curve and those kinds of adjustments I haven't ever looked at one of them before but they have all of those things drawn on the pattern pieces themselves So it takes a little bit of the guesswork out and then of course they explain to you how to do the adjustment to So I mean I mean, obviously all of these things fit great. They look wonderful on this model. Um, you can see that they also Uh, they also lean toward a more um I guess relaxed fit They it's more of like a standard trouser, you know, where you're going to have room under the butt. It's not going to be super fitted and But it is going to fit well Which I think this one does maybe maybe a little bit too much fabric in the inner thigh If i'm being super super picky um But you can see like the waistband is relatively Straight across I I'm pretty sure they're using a curved waistband here Um, I'm pretty sure this is supposed to sit an inch below your natural waist. So that would make sense um, maybe a little bit funky with the these should be maybe a little bit longer for her but um For the measurements that they were given For her or however it works these fit pretty good Here's another view where she's not like got her leg popped out So again, maybe a little bit of extra fabric under here, which is what I was This is either I think this is pointing to the inner thigh. Honestly, like I think there's just too much fabric there Which is such a specific fitting thing that if they didn't have this chick in their Studio with them to fit it. I mean She's just like any other fit model again. This is drooping just a little bit But for a curved waistband Kind of makes sense. Yeah same issue pointing to the inner thigh But now the waistband is straight across so I don't know And then you do have the little slits on the on the shorts too It's really nice to see so many butts On one model these I mean correct me if I'm wrong. Don't these seem a lot longer too? so So yeah worth a try if you're looking for You know an an adventure In terms of pants and shorts fitting now. This seems totally straight. I don't know Where it's supposed to hit but just keep all the normal things that I say about Pants fitting in mind whenever you're doing this Um, so all of your bottom weights are going to be suitable for this Yep, all of those make perfect sense 8 to 16 and then I think the 16 doubles so it goes 16 to 24 I think is probably how they're doing it We have oh god No bust we have 24 3 inches of ease in the waist See how I mean what I mean about it kind of being a little bit on the roomy side And then the hip has 4 inches no 5 inches So yeah very generous in terms of the fit very relaxed fit You can certainly take those things in once you because really like you're fitting You're really fitting the crotch right the crotch curve depth Length that's what you're really working on here Width does matter especially the hip to waist Grade of it all But that's really it so once you get that figured out then you can you can taper it in you can take it in on the Side you can you know putz around with it a little bit I haven't seen them do a pant or short palm or flesh in a minute All right, so now we have a Mrs. Top With short or long sleeves This is kind of cool loose fitting button front top has princess seams dolman sleeves neck band and shaped him UA has above link above elbow length sleeves with sleeve band UB has long sleeves ending a button cuffs with continuous lap opening Again calling it easy. I don't know. Yeah, this is fun I certainly wouldn't style it this way, but I do love a play on stripes. I'm always going to be a fan of that This one has the little Like mandarin collar. It's not even really like not a stand collar at least flat against your body Um a little bit difficult to sew that especially right here is the trickiest part, but you have these facings with the button plackets Seaming here Is there a pocket there? That would be another pocket here I want the pocket to be here That would be cool And then you can either do these cuffs sleeve, which I love Or you can do the long ones. I love that it's a dolman sleeve. I love that I mean it is long enough to tuck in it is like a tunic. I would I don't wear things that long, but um, you know adjusting for length is not super difficult I actually think extending it a foot and making it into like a dress would also be really cute Yeah, she's loving it Yeah, I love the play on stripes. This is probably some kind of like silk really pretty I want to make sure that these gathers are intentional that they're supposed to be there um, but teased Very lightweight woven usually cotton chambray gauze linen rayon shally Any of your silky types any kind of polyester? And then all you need is buttons Well and interfacing 8 to 16 and then 18 to 26 and this is a very roomy garment so Oh and your bust waist and hip Are all it's like a square This whole thing is a square. So that goes from 43 and a half up to 60 finished um, so they have 12 inches of ease in the In the bust Which also equates to 10 inches in the hip Yeah, very very oversized um Yeah, I guess it depends on your fabric like if you're using chambray. That's not very drapey I'm not going to want 12 inches in the bust But if I'm using rayon shally, that's really drapey and falls in on your body That would be fine So it really depends on fabrication You could size down.  So if that is your bust Use the bust if it's your hip like me. I'm a pair. I'm going to use My hip but I do like this and it is Inspiring I do like it. I do like it a lot and yes the gathers are intentional I think it would just be really fun to sew. I also feel like when they did it this way Even in the illustration, um having these run horizontal Maybe there was a missed opportunity with this bottom panel like They did this vertically Which and I think that that's how it's done on your cutting layouts, too But this could have been something else Or if you want to consider like Three colors of like seersucker that would be fun I do feel like this bottom panel. Do you see here how it's separate? There's something to be done with this too to add a little even more interest And maybe even with the collar piece too that's separate I do like it. I do like the I like the short sleeve version Um, okay. So next we have a mrs dress halter style dress I've been saying halter halter halter halter all spring all summer collections Have featured at least one halter top. I've been seeing it a lot and ready to wear um Yeah, it's definitely back. Okay halter style dress has lining fully interface bodice with boning Princess seams invisible back zippers side seam pockets and button closure on back of neck view a has slim skirt VV has flared skirt with flounce if you saw this Description on the vogue website. You wouldn't think twice about it This is very very couture finished for a butteric pattern 8 to 16 and 18 to 26 The idea that this has the boning here, which is going to keep you from tugging on this.  I still still see people tugging on this So yeah, a very familiar design to me and elder millennial um This might be a little long Like maybe around here is her waist But you have the circle skirt with a flounce. I absolutely love a flounce skirt or you have the pencil skirt With the side seam pockets on both and then this is your detail in the back We're going to zip it up to here and then this gets button closure I kind of wish that were hook and bar, but easy enough to trade that out Yeah, it's really pretty summer event dress for sure Yeah, the lines wrongs are super cute Okay fabric recommendations are chambray cotton satin gingham linen blends sear sucker So yeah, they're giving you all of the summertime like midway woven situation but Like this version here, you could also do out of ponti. You could also do out of um, they do suggest satin actually So satin would be great for something like this, especially if that's a little bit of stretch Um any stretch woven would be nice for this version Uh, this one you could also take into like the holidays and do like brocade or something like that. So um Try and think of this not just as a summer dress And you might find yourself liking it more than because for I guess for me It's a little bit fancy for summer right like I'm not going to weddings. I'm not going to garden parties That's just not my lifestyle, but it is Not too dressy for some of the winter events. I would possibly attend um So that's why I kind of try and think of it outside the seasons, especially when it comes to fabrication all right, so an invisible zipper You're boning and then Two buttons if you've never done boning before it is so simple You're really just kind of making a casing and you're sliding this like Plastic stuff up into it and that's it.  It's really really not intimidating at all or it shouldn't be Um finished. Okay. So the ease on this it's close fitting right? I mean, maybe not the hip for this but everywhere else it should be like one or two inches of of ease um, and it looks like for the bust We have three and a half inches of ease. No No, that's too much and then the waist we have two. Okay, that makes sense and then the hip of the close fitting skirt a We have three and a half. Okay, that makes sense. I think the bust is just a little bit um Too much ease and I'm also kind of shocked. They don't have separate bust cups for this one but easy enough to Adjust the princess seam. It's it's easier to adjust that than it is a darted bodice um For fuller busts It does look really well drafted in terms of like how high this is coming up under here what it looks like under her arm like I am I do feel good about Suggesting this pattern for sure. Yeah, it's really really cute. I'm trying to think maybe like I think this part here is what's throwing me for summer because that feels very like Like it would be really hot even in the nighttime Maybe that's the only reason why I'm thinking this doesn't feel like summer to me But that's my really my only critique is the seasonality of it and that's not even really a critique. That's just an opinion Okay, now we have okay a women's knit dress by palmer plush and the mrs version two so This might be the first palmer plush women's pattern. I've ever seen If not definitely one of the few That have ever existed Knit dresses and three lengths have v-neck and wide waistband with gathers on bodice and skirt view a sleeveless B and c have three-quarter sleeves okay, wow an interesting little neckline here, right like it's almost kind of like a cowl but not Comes into this little like pointed thing here You do have this waistband that hits under bust. You can see it really well here With gathers for the bust and then gathers underneath with a little Uh pocket as well Again, the shoulder seam seems really long But look how pretty it is on the sleeveless version So they either rigged this Or Shockingly, there's two separate bodice pieces Which I do not think that that is the case But maybe It is pull or plush after all So maybe there are separates The maxi's super pretty Yeah, this is really interesting. I'd be curious to see kind of how The construction of that I also want to see the back I get that this is being pulled down because she's got her hand in the pocket This one looks fine. You just want to make sure this is you know straight across This blue is stunning on her.  Here's the back So it is a little bit droopy in the back. Okay Maybe consider shortening the center back also Let me adjust my screen. What is this? I'm That's not a zipper No, it's just a little seam. Okay. Um and on this one Yeah, I just want this to be a little a little bit higher. But that's just me being extra picky Right. I don't want it to do that Because of the line drawings. Yeah, it's straight across Okay, cool design though I don't know how much like the fitting of it all is going to matter on this one I'm sure you'll you'll learn some things especially like full-bust adjustments. Um Maybe even like bicep adjustments But it is a knit. So it is a little forgiving it. So, you know I don't know that I would buy this one for the tissue fitting method necessarily But they are recommending stretch knits such as cotton lycra cotton knit and jersey I mean, I really think you could use any light to midweight Knit on this they're not showing the Stretch percentage, but I think you could absolutely do I ty You could do the bamboo rayons. They would be really lightweight and really drapey Which is, you know, I don't do that over my butt because that's just a little bit too clingy for me, but There is a lot of volume in this skirt um So maybe it wouldn't matter as much, but yeah, you could definitely do a lot of the Identity on air on the side of drapey not necessarily lightweight, but drapey for sure okay, so Finished garment measurements and and terms of the body measurements. The ease is five inches in the bust That's a lot for a knit garment The waist is three. I'm sorry five inches. That's also a lot for a knit garment Huh, I'm just not sure that doesn't look like five inches of ease to me Interesting. I don't know about that Five inches of ease that feels like a lot But the neckline is super cool Yeah, pretty Pretty just just double check that the sizing of it. Maybe size down All right. Now we have the mrs. Version same thing I just want to see if the We'll look at the pictures, but I want to see if the um What am I saying the ease is the same And the shoulder too The shoulder does look the same the slave link looks the same But the slave list version is cut back some so that's pretty This is a cotton jersey. I think so you can you see the difference between the sort of structured quality of this versus the Slinky drapey quality of this which I think is ity Can you see the difference in that? Yeah, hers is kind of drooping down too. So yeah, I think just a little long through here But man that cut of that shoulder is so pretty Yeah, all I want to do is pull this up And I think that that would remove a lot of this too if all of this was going up and over Still not seeing five inches of ease anywhere though. So Let's see So they're showing four and a half on the bust Same for the waist And then the hip is negligible. So one inch Less ease Which still feels like a lot for a neck garment If you wanted for reference You know To make this out of the woven you could do that You would just need to add a zipper. So you would add either on the side seam add a zipper to get in or Cut up the center back add your seam allowances and put a zipper in there I think you could make It out of a woven in your size. No problem But for the knit you'd want to size down, which is just really frustrating maybe butteryx Glock and where they're they're just in general they're Iggy's recommendations are Just more than usual or whatever reason Okay, this is a retro 1950s butteryx play suit midriff blouse shorts and skirt And I feel like of all the pattern companies that do the Vintage reproductions butteryx is always the most Like authentic to the time You know, I mean, it's always like What you see on like mrs. Maisel would wear this in a heartbeat, you know So four piece sports wardrobe sewing pattern carefree separates for summer fun in plaids or provincial prints with trim UA cropped all in one button front scoop neckline Play suit I think oh Wait See this is where it gets confusing Okay, so it is Okay, view a is a play suit View b is a bare midriff top View c is tailored shorts. So if you a atop I don't know. I'm confused now and then view d is a button front skirt. Let's look at this So a is the play suit. What is up with this? What is that b Why do we only have line art for the backs? Okay, okay And then you get the top the shorts and the skirt separate and I'm pretty sure this goes over This as well. That's what it looks like. She's doing This girl here Oh, no, that's the shorts That's her body skin tone Wow, this one's just like I'll just carry my skirt around with me Oh, that's all we get. Okay in terms of photos And we still don't have the front line drawings Huh, okay cotton blark broad cloth poplin prints denim gingham linen pk Sale cloth. Yeah, all of your like structured midweight wopens lightweight interfacing and then interfacing rickrack six buttons interfacing three buttons elastic interfacing and nine buttons The elastic is for b okay okay, um Yeah, one inch of positive ease in the waist The hip for C and d the no the hip for a and c. Yes, that's what I want to see has Four inches of ease. Yeah I want to see this on a human being. Uh, I wish that they just did one little version Just to show us and I guess they think that this is good enough for a front line drawing All I'm really seeing is a dedicated waistband. Maybe a bust dart here Um darts on the waist This is pleated. I think the skirt. I don't know. It's really hard to see what's going on but Could be really really cute Definitely check that in scene She looks really short Okay, we have another vintage pattern. Yeah A halter dress and jacket again from the 50s Open back halter dress has buttoned empire midriff with two-piece bodice that gathers into pleats At neck back and very full skirt the larrow jacket, which are also having a moment right now for what it's worth um Is dart fitted with two button closure at front and all in one sleeve So, yeah, your classic halter top, right an empire under bust Seam creates this like very wide midriff waistband Into this absolutely insanely voluminous skirt And then you can throw this little cutie over top of it if you want to cover your shoulders and your upper back Okay, I guess it's just they don't give line drawings for the front if the pattern cover is illustrated I don't know But similar fabrics for this is the last vintage pattern. They really only had so much to choose from back then Chambray cotton broadcloth crepe fail linen pk shantung tapeta. Yeah, if you want to go into like something a little bit fancier um woven or non-woven interfacing A zipper eight yards of seam binding What are we seam binding? Three buttons And shoulder pads Wow, okay, the dress has half an inch of ease in the bust The waist has one and a half inches So why is the sizing and all of this so much better on this pattern than the modern day ones? Interesting. Okay. I mean, I think that one's a little harder to modernize Um Maybe if like you removed, I don't know At least 50% of the volume in the skirt. All right. Now we have are these new Is this new? I feel like we did we just look at these. I know I can't remember Yeah, this is the spring collection. Yes I know what all says new new new new down here new new No, I definitely remember this So I think that the end of the summer collection is here I definitely remember this one from the spring video. I did a couple weeks ago, right? You guys remember that too Yeah, a thousand percent. I remember this one. Okay, so that's it. So it's just What we've covered already honestly like A strong collection from butteric um, definitely seeing sizing issues throughout so Just get to know your butteric size and forget what it says about anything else um And you should be good Definitely not like the most trendiest collection, but I don't think butteric is trying to be that, you know um Yeah, some really good patterns in here. I am interested to see what you guys think Leave your comments in the comment section below Otherwise as they keep rolling out the summer collection, you know, I'll be back to review them But that's going to do it for me today y'all. I'll see you all very soon. Bye


Hello Oscillator sync here and today I'm excited to announce the release of not one but two brand new patch packs for the up six Which I've created in partnership with Korg. The patch packs are available now on the Korg shop website And you'll find a link to them in the description of this video The two packs are called future memories and drums and percussion and in this video I'm going to talk a little bit about the second of those drums and percussion You can find details of the other pack in another video which I'll link to in this video's description I'm aware that some people want to get right to the sound demos So I'll pop them in the chapter marker so you can find them quickly But before we get to that I want to talk a little bit about the patches and some tips to get the most out of them This was the second of the two packs that I completed and Korg very kindly allowed me to base a pack around right now Considered to be my own personal meme which is to turn synths which are not drum machines into drum machines The pack actually ended up being roughly split into two different types of patches On the one hand there are multi-sound drum machine patches which cover a range of different styles both acoustic and electronic retro and modern On the other hand there are a range of percussion patches which include hand drums, cymbals, Struck plates and shakers as well as electronic thumps, thwacks and blips There were two really important goals that I set myself when I started working on these patches The first is that they had to be extremely responsive to how you played them. I wanted them to feel as good as they sounded The second is that with the drum machine patches I wanted to avoid using any motion sequencing tricks to get the sounds As fun as they are it was extremely important to me that any of the drum sequences that I created to demo these patches Could be replicated by someone sequencing in a door Using another hardware sequencer or even finger drumming So before I get to the patch demos I just want to spend a couple of minutes showing you what that means practically for the patches and how you can use them Hello oscillator sync from the future here Just a quick note to let you know that Korg have provided me with a coupon code Which will give you 50% off these patchbacks for the next seven days and you can find that code down in this video's description So as I mentioned there are kind of two different types of patches here So we have the tuned percussion type patches like this one which is I think probably one of my favorite patches in the set which is basically a Percussion instrument generally speaking just one instrument but pitched differently across the keyboard and depending on what sort of patch it is the amount of Variation that you'll get across the keyboard will different sometimes. It's just kind of High-pitched in a in case of something like this It's really quite a different flavor up at the top versus down at the bottom and as I mentioned one of the things that I made sure to do is that we have a load of variation within the sort of velocity response All of the patches incidentally will also have a Variation on the modulation where which will depending on which patch Just give you a slight different flavor or place it in a different sort of acoustic space She can sort of blend in and in some cases will like vastly drastically change the character of the patch essentially letting you blend between two different sort of styles of patches So that's the sort of tuned percussion Let's take a look at one of the drum machine patches Okay, this is one of the patches which is called practice room Which is a drum machine patch and with the drum machine patches if you hit play on sequencer You will get a little drum sequence and as I mentioned the important thing here is that that is not done using any sort of motion sequencing or anything like that that is purely being achieved by Creating a sort of a pseudo Keyboard split so if we go right down at the bottom of the keyboard We'll find a kind of a kick drumming type thing generally speaking as we go up the keyboard a bit find some snares It higher up some sort of Tune snare thing there Hi hat type stuff and then right at the top In this case, we've got some sort of metallic sort of twinks there. So you've got Sort of depending on the patch between sort of three and four different sounds across the keyboard And if you wanted to sequence this drum machine, then you just address the particular Notes and we'll take a look at that in just a second, but I thought I'd highlight just a couple of other things about these patches first a general thing With all of the patches in this pack obviously we have Sort of velocity changes, but also Be aware that most of the patches will also respond to gate length It varies from patch to patch but The thing that I did on most of them is that if you strike the key on therefore have a short gate length cleanly like that Here that we get a nice Natural tail whereas if you strike the key and hold the key down a long gate length It tends to kill the drum dead it varies from patch to patch which way around I've done that In retrospect, I'd preferred to have been a little more consistent, but it depending on how it felt at the time I think but the way I like to think about it in most cases is that that's like hitting a drum and then sort of keeping your hand on it rather than playing it cleanly like that In terms of the operators layout here a lot of these are done using user algorithms And the way I tend to lay these out is that the lower pitch stuff is lower down So if you want to you can play a sequence that's in the sequence and use these like a Like a mixer almost in most cases. So Here for example, if I wanted to take out the kick drum We can lower that envelope there That operator sorry This one doesn't take out the metal there So you can kind of use these operator sliders as kind of like performance controls with the Sequence that's cool without all the Hi-hat stuff going on now some of them will affect multiple parts of the sounds or at the same time because I've had to use some tricks to get these splits but Yeah, you can use these as performance controls and obviously messing with the ratios are also going to create New variations as well as I mentioned We've got our modulation control there as well so I created all of the demi patterns within the opposite is sequencer itself and The opposite is things that isn't set up to be a drum sequence and basically it's set up to be a polyphonic melodic sequencer, which it does very well But in terms of actually sort of creating drum grooves on it It was an experience where I learned lots of things about the sequence. So let's put it that way so if you want to Program these patches in a more sort of drummy kind of way Then it's probably better to be to be using an external sequencer or indeed just doing it in the door So as an example here, I've got the sq64 for the purposes of this demo But anything where you can assign pads to midi notes will essentially Do the trick right? So in this case if we come into This pad here this pad here is transmitting on C1, which will be a kick drum D sharp 4 which will be a snare probably on this patch G3 Low snare maybe e6 will be like a higher or metallic thing So I've just gone through here, and I've tried different notes worked out which notes I want on each pad and I've Gone through the per the process of assigning them which means now if we come back in to our gate sequence here And we could start putting down Some kick drums maybe and a snare What do we have on this one? I wonder Yeah, we can Use this patch as a straight up sort of drop synth Now we could still use the faders to use as a mix So we can still get our variation on the modulation and so on and if we come into some of these So maybe we'll do on the Yeah, we'll do on this on this song that we've got going on here, perhaps So we can adjust the gate signs to get different variations here we could adjust probability Which is not something that we could do on the opposite to our probability We could maybe come into our kicks maybe In the mod here we could Change the velocity of some of these and so on and sort of use these patches like a real drum machine And you can get quite a lot of variation going quite quickly in that way, but enough of my chat Let's get on with the demos
