I'm a newer watcher and I love how you make videos around specific projects. Great job on the embroidery, it's absolutely beautiful! Regarding fit - I always make my own size by doing one size for the shoulder and then grading to two sizes bigger for the hip. I recently made a dress where I added room to the hip too. I truly don't know why so many patterns are created with the assumption that bust and hip are the same ... this isn't true for 99% of the people I know. I'm currently wondering if I can add a gusset to the side seam of a flannel shirt that fits down to the waist, but also wondering if I just need to let it go. It's an unusual pattern/colorway that I absolutely love so I'm struggling. I wonder if you can add a panel to the sides here, so it's got more room on the hips?

Stevia leaves a nasty aftertaste in my opinion and cilantro tastes like soap. I approve Beetlejuice and witchy dresses. Sorry about the dermatitis though. That sounds super uncomfortable.

... but a cauldron IS the perfect spider dwelling. ❤

Love the embroidery!! Makes a gorgeous throw over.

I ❤ the embroidery!

Cat hair is a fact of life. I bought a new chair for my patio with dark pillows. My one cat *adores* it! My aunt looked at the generous layer of white hair he’d left and commented it should probably have been light? Sure… If he wasn’t as much brown, yellow and black as white… ;)

There is no such thing as "too much whimsy"! All the whimsy always.

It turned out so good!

I will watch you make whatever you want to wear even if it is the same black witchy dress a hundred times. You make me happy. The salad sounds great. I ❤LOVE your embroidery! Adorable and well stitched. I am allergic to polyester (or as my mom called it "poly and her evil twin ester") so clothes, bedding, and stuffed animals made me turn into a rough red skinned pile of misery as a child...and as an adult I am the pickiest person about clothing and bedding fibers. And when I find something that works...I wear the same things over and over

I just found your channel and I love it. Your dry wit is perfect. Excellent embroidery and top. ❤

I’ve had mystery (and semi-mystery) heat rash flares a few times this warm season. From what I can tell, it came from having lotion on the affected area for too long. 🙃 It’s normal for me to have them at various times in the summer, on my thighs and hairline/neck area, particularly if I let sweat/hair grease dry on my skin, but this time it’s moved to my… décolletage, so it’s really noticeable. Just itchy, though, not painful, so I’m counting my blessings! But since the stuff on the internet just says “cool down” and “wear natural fibers” (something I already do), my already cool self has done some heat transfer with 99% aloe gel. It kind of works? It seems to anyway.

Lost My Thread also made the Gilbert top. She also said they instructions were very easy to follow.

I loved both the blouse and the spider event! Never a dull video with you! 😂 I wish you luck with the rest of your cauldrons.

About a year and a half ago i developed an allergy to eggs. It was so hard to figure out because the hives took about 6 or more hours to develop. I would have one for breakfast and by 3pm my stomach would be covered with itchy hives. Most of the family react very quickly to an allergy but not me. That shirt works so well as a jacket and the embroidery is just lovely.

Oh I really love this top! The embroidery is lovely too! I will have to look into this pattern. Not sure about the bell sleeves maybe an elastic wrist. I have the balance and coordination of a mushroom so getting caught up in the sleeves wouldn’t be hard for me! Great video you keep making what you make and I’ll keep watching! I’m here no matter what!

AZ resident here - SO understand the “too hot for clothes”. Our overnight low is supposed to be 91F 😳 Here’s to breathable fabric. And indoor hibernation. And yes - you post, I watch!

I’m planning to branch out into pastel black (heathered grey) this fall. I’m hoping it makes the cat hair slightly less obvious.

The mushrooms/plants are delightful

The embroidery was great. Wondering why you don't use a pin cushion? Sorry if you've addressed this before.

I love this intersection of goth and cottagecore.

In case it applies to anyone else: Stevia is in the ragweed family so it can trigger allergies.

All the wonderfulness. You are just trying to get us all into spooky season mood with your little spider escapade. I think putting the mushroom motif on the sleeve cuffs would be completely charming. Rotisserie chickens are brilliant when the temp soars. The blouse looks lovely on you. I often wear an open shirt over a tank top. Very flattering. Enjoy the upcoming week, they are calling for clouds, rain, and high teens. Take care.

in this house its cat, dog and bunny fur in EVERYTHING, mostly dog. labs shed a surprising amount, we chase drifts of fluffs all the time. on the fabric i am dismantling a duvet cover a nice chunk of black and red shot material and some gold stuff.

I love the embroidery! I can't wait for more goth-like makes!

I love the embrpidered yoke! I'm sorry about the cauldron spider experience, yuck. I've been doing a lot of gardening and yard work this summer and I have walked through several giant spider webs.🤢 Plus I'm covered in contact dermatitis. My skin has decided it hates sun, dirt, and all plant life in addition to all the soap and cleaning chemicals that have historically triggered my eczema. So much burning and itching but I harvested 3 cucumbers and 2 cherry tomatoes this morning. Yippee 🙄

I look forward to our little chats, they are great for while I sew or crochet. You might already know these heat tips. Apply a cool cloth to your pulse points, cooling your blood helps a lot. Linen is a better fabric than cotton if you sweat because it wicks. You can do a low rent a/c by blowing air over a block of ice. Also a personal fan that hangs on your neck is really pleasant.

I do not miss august in Calgary at all, it was the worst month for heat when I lived there. Love the embroidery it turned out great.

Funny, I saw the reveal and thought ooo...good choice to make it a jacket topper for the season and decide if you want to as a blouse later... And then you told me it wasn't the plan

I LOVE the embroidery (and the blouse/cover up) . Can totally see the embroidered lady bugs and cuffs. What was the stitch you used?

Things I never knew I needed: Slimer being chased through the mushrooms

As always, love your video. I agree with @julie-elizabethmack9502...you keep making what you like and I will keep watching!!! \(^-^)/

I have Hashimotos and temperature regulation in my body is non-existent so this heatwave we are getting in Ontario is keeping me housebound as much as possible. I recently bought a swing for my backyard so I can at least get some fresh air but haven't been able to use it all week because the humidity and heat immediately makes me unable to breathe and drains the little energy I have, even in the shade. I also get very flushed when it is warm. I do have AC in the house but just got my bill for the last month and wanted to cry, but without it I wouldn't be able to move at all. I have been having to try and find natural fibre clothes because plastic makes me overheat. I need loose and breathable as well. I prefer thrifting clothes but plus size breathable stuff doesn't seem to exist in my area. Won't buy Shein and it seems to be filling thrifts stores lately. Loved the embroidery, btw. I agree with the needing more black witch dresses. I want to make some clothes for myself but my weight is weird due to my autoimmune diseases so I am worried I will make something and it won't fit.

gorgeous -- as usual!!

You could sew a “shower-cap” style thingy to use as cauldron lid perhaps? Could even embroider a dead spider on it as deterrent 😂

I LOOOVVVE the embroidery!!

When you pulled out the bottle i yelled and kicked my feet

I'm surprised you didn't embroider Ms Spider into your shirt. It would totally be in theme with your love of Halloween. As for dealing with the heat your preaching to the choir here. I'm in Arizona and not only is it freaking hot, it's the middle of monsoon season with 60% humidity when it's like 15% the rest of the year. OK so that might be a bit of an exaggeration but thentrible digits on the thermometer don't lie and the pool is like bath water. Cold showers are non existent at this point in the year. I'm sitting on a pike of cotton/linen fabric waiting to be made into a sundress I can wear around the homestead and be cool. Except it's too frickin hot to sew. However I do like e the embroidery on your shirt. After finally getting to wear the chemise I made back in 2020 to the Renaissance Faire that I embroidered balckwork strawberries on and seeing your video I kinda have that itch to do the cuffs now. I still need to make my husband a shirt too. I was going to put stags on his, but then you know the plague happened. I think you started something indeed. Now I've got that itch too. I have a few things I'm looking at embroidering now. And I see the heat doesn't seem to affect the kitties as they are still up to their antics. 😂

The top is very pretty🥰 I love the mushrooms 💕

Great top, the embroidered yoke is so cute! Much sympathy for the skin issues, hope that it clears up quickly if it hasn't already. Fingers crossed that it does get cooler next week and that there's some rain and fewer fires!

As a fellow plus size sewist allow me to recommend viscose fabric. I don't know what prices are like in Canada, but I've been able to get some great colours and prints for £5-10 a metre, and sometimes even below. It's light, drapey, and despite being semi synthetic, doesn't give you that sweaty plastic thing you get with polyester or acrylic

I really love your beautiful embroidery. Whimsical and nature are a lovely combo. I never wear make up or dye my hair anymore as I developed multiple, adult onset serious allergies in my late 30’s. Never wore much apart from gothic stuff anyway. I have epi pens and a long list of nopes but I still can have kitties. I loved dark colours only in my youth but have branched out a bit. My skin, when not inflamed, is so pale I am always accused of being anaemic when this is just my natural shade. My mother is an olive skinned, cloth kits and Laura Ashley type. The horrors of having gothic, ugly dressing daughter. Hated it when I would get compliments in front of her from people who liked my different style. I think your style is lovely and more importantly you like it.

🧡 marvelous

The embroidery is very cute, a great trim for the sleeves too if you have the patience for it. Doesn't matter that it doesn't button up too much, just gives an excuse for fun layering.

Feeling called out by the Blade Runner/Closet Historian comment. Look at all the lil mushrooms!

I love the embroidery, the obligatory kitty B-roll, and the outtakes! Hugs

PS.... gratuitous kitty footage ALWAYS welcomed

I think it turned out wonderfully and super cute!!!

The embroidery is soooooo good. It turned out great. And one always needs a cute cover up.

You look fantastic in this black top. It suits you very well. Why would anyone say that black is not your colour? I will keep watching you. I gave thumbs up to julie-elizabethmack9502 comment - my sentiment exactly! Maire, thank you!

Omg the embroidered yoke turned out amazing! Sizing issues aside, this is a very cute shirt. I'd love to see the shirtdress version too!
