Looking forward to learning about more of your crafty adventures! ☺️

Awesome just found you from the bee stuff. Your new vision for the channel sounds great. Look forward too the new content.

Love this new idea 💡 I’m all about trying new crafts - currently attempting cyanotype - looking forward to the new content 😊

That flamingo pattern is cute!

KZfaq love to push the shopping and links below the video yet they don't approve products within their own timescales. Here is my kitchener stitch knots-and-needles-shop.fourthwall.com/products/new-product

Aly Art talks about this in some of her KIBBE videos www.youtube.com/@AlyArt/featured

Thank you for sharing your ramble. It's always helpful to know youaren't the only one working it all out,

No jumpsuits for this old lady, lol. Enjoyed the video and new sub.

I love your problem-solving approaches! Your skirt is beautiful and elastic waistbands are comfortable too. So it's a win-win! I'm here for whatever you bring whether thread catcher, a tidy or creative strategizing.

Great job! I was fixing a patch on a jumpsuit while I was watching you 😊

I think it great how you think outside the box. I would have unpicked everything and then gone “what do I do now?” I would have the folded everything up neatly and tht would have 😂been it! I actually Want another way of inserting elastic. It’s from tessutti patterns on their blog. I can send through the link if you’re interested. Currently unable to sew due to hand surgery so KZfaq it is! Planning to catch up with your vlog on jumpsuit patterns (even though I don’t wear them, I think they’re awesome). Take care, enjoy the gorgeous weather, hope you some sewing time in and see you next time 🙂

thank you for your interesting video but i can’t achieve sharonsews dress pattern (forth dress) it’s just for readers how can i get that i really want that dress

Loved this vlog thank you so much for sharing….so many were stunning but think I like the last one best…❤😊

I love your crocheted cardigan. Did you make it? If so, what pattern did you use? I’m obsessed with jumpsuits and have made the Zadie jumpsuit twice. I really appreciate you sharing these patterns. I may not make any but they’re so inspiring.

The last one on the list is my favourite ❤

I had the same frustrations with some H &M dresses. The peoblem is that style. Rhey barely want you to be able to cover bra straps. I have to keep the sleeves from falling as well. How frustrating! I wonder if you could shir some elastic down the inside of the sleeves to make it more snug fitting.

Oooh I love those unfettered shorts with the paper bag shorts. I’ve made the skye shorts for peppermint patterns and I wear them all the time. So comfy and an easy make.

Leave them separate...you will have two wonderful pieces or one dress

Thank you for the ideas.... If I can give you a suggestion.... I think that it would be better for the viewers if you have more images while you're talking.... Or simply leave the one image for more time....

gosh you've been busy! I love seeing your makes for the little ones they are too cute... my babies are all grown up ... I suppose I should make dog coats, that's about the closest I get to young one these days! The days are drawing in and the morning and evening chill of late autumn has hit here in Oz. But there have has been some glorious autumn sun and earth during the day...so doing my best to not complain. But i'll have to live vicariously through all you bloggers in the northern hemisphere as we dive into winter here (or buy a sun lamp🛋😎!). See you next vlog.

There's a certain chaotic humorous energy in this clip and I love it

My hubby loves his White T-shirts.

You sold me when you said this video doesn’t have tiers… it’s just not flattering on me. Tiers make me look like I’m cosplaying a 6 year old.

❤

Love it, I just cut mine.

Nice finds thank you! To those interested in the tie front Elliot top, be careful on the website as there's is an Ad on the site that has 'Download' in big letters, but it's for a subscription service that will renew at £49/month

It’s so cool you sew for the kids in your life! ❤

Good luck with the bodice creation. I still haven’t picked up that book but I’ve ordered it! So you’re ahead of me. The author of it lives locally and offers garment fitting courses but they’re all booked up currently. I’m desperate to go on one!! I’ve started making a few little children clothes. Oh why don’t our clothes fit as easily? Enjoy your sewing. Have fun. 👍

Also, if you are interested in boning, Gertie has lots of videos on how to sew it on her Patreon. I think she has some free one here, too

Or you could try taking in the princess seams on the bodice

I agree that you could shorten the bodice. What about taking the bodice apart and making a center front seam to take out width? If you make it into separates, then you could add a button band down the center front. That’d be so cute! If you do that, then you could just make the back plain.

Great video! It seems that you really enjoy sewing children's clothing. How lucky all those children are! I have recently started sewing some baby clothes as well. In your video you said that the snaps with the metal prongs often fall out. I have had that experience as well and it is so frustrating! I have wondered about using the plastic snaps, but I thought that they are only for woven fabric. Have you had luck using the plastic snaps on jersey? If so, do you have any tips to make that successful?

My boy is 33 and I look at him and just think, so WHERE DID the last 30 years or so go! Your nautical dress looks great and the belt really finishes it off. Yep, SAD is a definite thing. We are going the other way here in Oz, so I am trying to soak up every gram of sun I can... this will probably be my first proper autumn/winter sewing season... lets hope it staves off the winter blues a bit as I (hopefully) create some lovely me made clothes. have a great week nd see you next vlog 😎🦩

I found the sewmag dress oversized also your make looks lovely nice colour blue

Wait till they’re 13 and you’re looking at them goin how did that happen!?! 😂

Can't stand tiered dresses and skirts either!

I'd love to know how you get on with Dressmaking the Easy Way. I have a high bust so wrap dresses, v necks all expose me to the elements. If this problem was covered I'd get it in a flash. Flash being the correct word!

I sympathise…I too have had serious fit issues..I’m small on top (high bust 29,full bust 34), narrow shoulders etc going to a 37 hip….ive learned all the adjustments from narrow shoulder, petite adjustment, fba etc but nothing helped, each adjustment seemed to screw up the last one! Eventually I took a gamble and bought a Sinclair petite pattern…perfect…straight out of pack! Each time I try any other pattern, disaster. I am 5’ tall…no, I don’t work for Sinclair….if I did I’d say please, please some more modern designs! Right now I have a Sinclair bodice laid over a new look dress, so attempting the top half as Sinclair, bottom as N.Look patter….we shall see. Ps I have the book dressmaking, the easy guide, got it for Xmas & must did it out…Sinclair has only solved the knits problem, I am still struggling to fit woven. I use old bedsheets and quilts for my toiles

Fitting is soooo flipping hard. I’ve heard that ‘Dressmaking the easy guide’ is an excellent resource which I have on order. I’d like to see how you use your books to get your fit right. There are so many of us grappling with the same issues I’m sure. Good luck Steph. 👍

Thanks for reply and signposting me here. Really helpful!

Hi I’m a new follower and loved this! I’m very inspired by these dresses (although looking at the date today, don’t have much time if I want to join the challenge!!) Thank you ❤

Thanks ! Was thinking of this for my daughter. Do you think easy to lessen scoop slightly? Good review!

Thank you for mentioning grasser does different heights…I am always on the look out for this since I discovered petite patterns don’t need 14000 adjustments to the bodice …so far I’ve only discovered Sinclair (wonderful but somewhat old fashioned though fit perfectly without alterations)…I’ve downloaded the free pattern you suggested. Love, love, love the dress you are wearing, what is it and where did you get the fabric?

I love dress 1 and petal sleeves.

A lot of sewing pattern companies do draft for different body types. I remember reading that Sewaholic and Deer and Doe draft for a pear shape. That could be why your Sirocco jumpsuit fits so well! I remember reading a list with all different body types online somewhere, but I can't find it! I think probably the best thing is to find pattern companies that tend to work for you and stick with them. If you can. I'd be curious to hear how the patterns work, when you enter your measurements and they give you the pattern pieces. I have to try that out sometime, for sure!

Hi Katrina I am lucky to have two wooden sewing boxes very similar to yours - one from my mother that was made in Canada and one from my mother in law that was made in Germany. Interesting that the design is universal.

I’ve made many, many pants, but my favorite pants by far was a Simplicity pattern I made in the ‘80s and 90’s that had pleats in the front that were extended to form the waist. They were so easy to fit! Sew up the pants, put them on inside out, then adjust the depth of the pleat/dart to perfectly fit your waist, sew, turn at your waist and tack down. The waist size and height were perfect!
