My mother made V1978 in raw silk from Japan purchased during my uncle's R&R during the Viewtnam war. I still have the dress. I cannot wait to make this!

Look forward to seeing all your new fabrics. Would love to see what new fabrics you get in on a regular basis. ❤

thanks Alison, I generally try and make sure they are in the patten round up videos/makes videos as a priority, but I think you're suggesting a specific fabric round up video? I could try that, haven't done one for years.

Love that coat pattern and the boiler suit. Great fabric combinations too.

agreed, I think the coat is divine in that beautiful multi coloured fabric and the hot pink too

Regarding metallic jacquards, I made a really simple short wrap top with grown on sleeve out of a 1.2 m remnant. Perfect with dressy black wool smooth front trousers for a casually elegant evening look. Almost forgot, but I made a simple shawl collared jacket out of a metallic jacquard years ago and that was a success too. Perfect around Christmas time. It almost became a tree skirt but glad I made the jacket instead. I think that was only 2 m and I searched a bit for a pattern that would fit the fabric available. You don't need a huge amount of fabric.

I made a shirt with your melange cotton you showed two weeks ago! It’s fabulous I can send a photo - where. Do I send to ? It cost a mere £15 to make … what’s not to like! Worn it every day.

I would love to understand how a full bum adjustment would work (or not work) on a boilersuit or jumpsuit. When I add volume and length to, eg. Flatfront elastic-waist shorts and pants, I find it necessary to use soft, thin, drapey fabrics as there will inevitably be a lot of gathering at the waist. It might create too much bulk for a boilersuit/jumpsuit, unless there is plenty of hip and waist ease in the pattern...

Wide legs + high waist + anyone under 5'4" = egads! Drowning not waving lol
@SewEssential6 ай бұрын
yes I know some people really don't like wide legs and I am a firm believer you should make what you like rather than follow any trends.
