That skirt looks gorgeous on you!

Love the skirt and top combo. Look forward to seeing your makes. I have become quite a fan of Pattern Emporium patterns. Just ordered a couple of t-shirts in the Black Friday offer, including the Keep it Simple. I love a bit of linen - my Itch to Stitch Upland Trousers are very comfortable in a navy linen mix from Pound Fabrics. I don't normally batch cut - it would make me feel a bit twitchy with too much stuff to do. I've done two items in a batch, but I have a good sewing space with a big table so it's no issue to do things individually. I'm just browsing all the Black Friday fabric sales and I have just snagged a bargain on Fabworks with some 100% wool for £8 a metre - fabric of the month. It's a lovely blue/black subtle check. That will probably be a coat using the same pattern as one I (almost) have in progress with some very expensive fabric I bought from Fabworks last year.

Christmas things going on! Batch cutting is easier 😊

Great pants! Hope to see you model all your makes!!!😅

Love the Style Arc ❤

Great wardrobing !!!❤

Do those pencil skirts not ride up as you walk?

Snow already! What area are you in? 38* here in South Carolina USA 🇺🇸 this Friday morning!

Let me know in the comments below what you're up to sewing wise this week!

Great save!

I'm so sorry that there were so many problems with the live, it just goes to show how difficult life streaming actually is! Anyway, if you'd like to donate in any way, here's the link to Sew Over It's just giving page: www.justgiving.com/page/thebigsewoff2024

Aww I would have loved to have join you but we are currently away on holiday. Good luck ❤

I'd love you to join me at 2pm tomorrow! Grab your pattern, fabric, scissors and a nice big cuppa and get ready to sew with me all in aid of the UK mental health charity, Mind ❤

Great fabrics and patterns! Looking forward to makes!!!

For your Teifi, the grey looks very practical, but the pink looks more fun! I'm going to make mine in navy ponte to go over the Pattern Emporium Wanderlust dress I've just made. I also like the Delphine. I didn't know that Style Arc gave away bonus patterns. Thanks for the info. I've now subscribed to their newsletter and also to your channel.

The Grey for me but all of those fabrics would look great in the cardigan

I fancied the Cassia knit top, but I really have enough hoodie/pullover/sweatshirt type patterns to last me a lifetime! I did get the Deba Topper pattern when it was introduced as that will come in quite useful as a light cover-up, but resisted the Teifi jacket, as again I have a few similar patterns. I love the black with small spots fabric. Look forward to seeing what you decide to use.

Which fabric should I use first for my new jacket? I'd love your input!

Oh that colour is gorgeous on you and I think your second choice of use for the fabric will be a more wearable. I have a couple of ponchos but tend to wear them around the house when I'm cold 😂. Re the pockets, I like to make the pockets in a kind of split fabric. The first inch in the outer layer then the rest in the lining fabric. I just split the pattern piece. That way if the pocket gapes a bit you can't see the lining as the first inch is the outer fabric. (Do you get what I mean?!😂 I did it on my recent jacket ). I also do it on skirts. I'm sure you've done this before but just in case you haven't. 😊. Thanks for such a great review ❤ x

Love your jacket, so cosy, colourful and smart.❤

Great save for the jacket fabric. Looks really cosy and warm. I have purchased a few Style Arc patterns, mainly tops and a dress, but haven't got round to making any up yet. Might have to give one a try soon.

Would you like to see more pattern review videos on my channel? Please let me know what you think!

Thanks for the great review 😁 I was thinking of making it but I didn’t like the attached scarf but since u’ve done it so well I’m sure I can too 😁 so thank u for the inspiration 🥰 xx

Hi. I purchased a while ago the Laura Dress but can’t find my download. I tried responding the email i was sent but it came back undeliverable. Is there any way i can get the pattern?

I have been very impressed with Love Notions patterns. They are brilliant value, have loads of options and the instructions are excellent. I added the Duet trousers, Encore skirt and Barrington Tee to my account last week and now have over 40 patterns in my account! Many have still not been sewn up, but some favourites have been made multiple times! Look forward to seeing what you make with your latest patterns.

You've got some great pieces there and I like the look of the Barrington Tee. I was convinced I bought something from the sale and have just searched all my emails to no avail 😂. On checking PayPal I realised it was an Itch To Stitch pattern as they had a sale as well 🤣. I really am getting old!! Thanks so much for showing us your patterns ❤

Great stash - I have made quite a few Love Notions patterns (just made the Juliet tshirt and it turned out well.) As someone else mentioned I probably have enough patterns to last a lifetime and the Australian dollar is so weak against the US it was still expensive. Having said that I did buy another Itch to Stitch pattern as they also had a sale so not as strong as I thought I was!! Looking forward to your patterns being made up.

I love Love Notions patterns. I have quite a few..I have made the Coda jacket, La Bella Donna, Rhapsody blouse, Aria shirt, Classic tee. I think they are great patterns. I want to try the Barrington tee and the Aurora dress next.

I missed the sale, I really have enough patterns that will last me a lifetime, but I have a code from their FB page to get the Classic Tee for free. I may also get the course, as it's free. I didn't get on with the Laundry Day Tee - I made one and it was such a bad fit across the upper bust that I've not bothered again. I have a few other LN patterns, and I do like the La Bella Donna - I've made a few of those in various styles. I have the Octave Coat, and I hope to get that made up soon (bought some lovely wool last year and never got round to making it).

I can't wait to try the Barrington tee (and to see how it compares with the Classic tee!) Let me know in the comments below if you bought any LN patterns or courses in their sale last week ❤

Your autumn plans are fantastic and well planned, as usual❤. I love the sweater color and I think it is perfect with your complexion, so do go on with it, as it will be a stunning addition to your color scheme. I would opt for the plain buttons. They come across as a perfect marriage of style and color for your jacket, as your jacket has sophisticated lines and those buttons will keep it versatile and understated. I always enjoy your videos. Your work is so well thought out and I admire your capacity to follow through on your projects. Please keep giving us inspiration! Best wishes for a lovely autumn ! Suzanne 😊

👏🏻👗

Wow, you are super organized. Looking forward to seeing your makes. I love the plain buttons. Very cute, cozey jacket.

Plain button.

I love your Autumn Winter plans, you always choose the best patterns to suit a stylish mature woman like myself, from pattern companies that I love. I think the plain buttons would work better on your jacket, more versatile because you could always dress your outfit up more with jewellery if needed or wear it more casually with the plain buttons. ❤

Also your jacket is so beautiful - go with the plain.

Wow - so many beautiful fabrics! Looking forward to your projects. You are so organised - at the moment we are coming into summer in Australia but still in spring so weather still all over the place so my sewing plans are a bit chaotic.

Some great plans there. I have just decided to tackle autumn/winter makes (late to the party as usual!) but I don't have many warm fabrics in my stash, so what's a girl to do? That's right - order some fabric! Spent a fortune yesterday ordering fleece backed french terry and other snuggly fabrics. Of course hubby decided to pitch in and place an order with me for another cardigan. I rarely see any good fabrics in my local Boyes. I am making (still!) my Itch to Stitch Upland trousers with linen/cotton blend from Pound Fabrics. I've lost my sew-jo a little these past two or three weeks. I prefer the plain buttons for your jacket. I did have a coat planned for this winter (as I didn't get it done last winter!!) using some lovely wool from Fabworks and I don't think I can get a machine buttonhole in that, so I was intending to make a bound buttonhole, but I like your idea of the popper. Look forward to seeing everything come to fruition.

What do you have planned for Autumn/Fall? I'd love to know!

Love all of your picks - I made some bound to bee tshirt and like the bounding around the chest. Looking forward to your finished projects. It is getting to summer in Australia so looking forwaard to sewing for the warmer weather.

Oh I do love seeing what patterns you buy and quite often you tempt me over to the dark side of Indies 😂 I do love the look of the Goldie skirt, I rarely wear them but that is the style that I lean to, like you say with tights and boots. Thanks so much for sharing ❤

Hi very interesting video! I'm in love with love Notions, but also many other patterns you showed were very interesting! I will probably make a top with mock neckline soon as well but I'll use the Jackson tee from Helen's closet (I own it already 😅). I own the Crescendo pattern as well and would love to see your next one ☺️ I really enjoy your videos, voice and accent 😊 Greetings from Italy! By the way, Tami is Love Notions owner and designer and Tessa is her sister and Marketing director ☺️

Is the Ethel for knits or women’s? It is cute!

I’ve just made my first pair of Crescendo Jeans and I love them! The front pockets are actually like a kangaroo pocket. My only issue is that I think the ponté I used for the pocket lining is a little too thick, so I can see where the pocket lining ends when I’m wearing them. It’s not a problem because I always wear tops that cover my stomach anyway. Super comfortable, and will be making a straight leg version as soon as I can find a fabric I like. Quick note: because of the style of the pocket, it gives a bit of tummy control too 😁

I use a lot of Love Notions and Pattern Emporium patterns. They always come with lots of options, great instructions and are amazing value. I also like seeing their tester garments as they show sewists of all ages and sizes actually wearing the garment in real life. My other favourite companies are Itch to Stitch (who offer cup sizes) and Sinclair Patterns (who offer height files!) Just found you so have subscribed. Look forward to seeing the Cresendo jeans and Larrgo Cargo trousers made up and your thoughts. I have both patterns and they are on my autumn sewing list.

Love your colour palette! I call them my happy colours!👍💜🇦🇺
