The coat will be wonderful. Bella’s patterns are the best.

I loved this. I also really like the blouse you are wearing in this video. Do you have the pattern name for that?

the way i was influenced to track down and buy pink corduroy fabric just like yours 🫣 bennytex is so affordable but shipping is crazy expensive to the US! anyways, i can’t wait to see how your skirt turns out! i loveeee this shade of pink and i hope you can enjoy it as well - i think it’ll look great on you!

Everything looks great on you 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩👌👌👌👌love, love all your makings ❤❤❤❤❤❤

You have some tutorials about socks from the Crazy Sock lady and she has a free pattern the vanilla socks and the respective tutorial. It’s not that difficult. Watch some tutorials and then give it a try. In Ravelry ( a site about knitting and patterns) you will find free patterns that you can download. I like to sew and knit so I like to watch your videos. You always sew beautiful garments , you’re an inspiration to me. Thank you ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I agree the pink would look great on you!

I'm really intimidated by lining. Do you recommend a particular fabric for lining?

Super video. Great fabric and plans. The pink corduroy will really look good with you colouring. Looking forward to seeing the fabulous coat.

Gosh - so lovely!

How do you find the process of ordering/receiving fabric from Minerva, especially re VAT/duty? I’ve been hesitant about ordering (for delivery to France) for fear of being heavily charged.

Hi Sarah, thank you for all the detailed info you provide and links. Also I agreed with the other comments...the pink corduroy!! Beautiful!

Mosaic knitting is a lot of fun... A lot easier than I had expected it to be

Oh, happy me. There's something wonderful about discovering a new to me sewist and then having the pleasure of binge watching. Happy happy

Love your plans. I couldn’t quite catch the name of the yarn for your Kip sweater… the sweater and yarn look beautiful…could you reply with the yarn details please?

Dear Sara, you are very clever, and thanks for sharing your talent.

I highly recommend to read a book called "Don't be sad" by al Qarni. It has been translated into many languages and free pdf copies are also available online.

So Lovely....❤❤❤

Love the pink! I think it will work great with your wardrobe and it's not near your face if you're worried about it being too bright/intense.

Blackwood Cardigan is such a great pattern. I’ve made 3 and wear them all the time!

Lovely ❤

Also, you can wear that pink for sure, especially on a skirt!

Hi Sarah! I taught the hey sailor pattern in the early fall. I would definitely recommend charting it. I’m teaching Tursa right now ( another mosaic pattern by the lovely Natasja Hornby) and it is charted and so easy to read. I did put my hey sailor away but will pull it back out after this. It will also work on cool summer days too if you use the knitting for olive in cotton (I am). Also be sure to check out Natasja Hornby’s designs. Her designs remind me of you, elegant and sleek. Andrea’s are more casual, IMO. 😘

For socks, the main downside I find is that I need to put a lot of pressure on my hands to get the required tight gauge, so it hurts my hands (for a gauge of 40st/10cm). I would for sure recommend the crazy trio needles, they hurt my hands the least from all the needle types

Hi Sarah, you mentioned that you would like to explore more embroidery. The royal school of needlework has a free online stitch bank which they continue to add to. This would be a great source of information and it's world renowned. I hope this helps you on your embroidery journey.

Like everyone else, I think the pink will look lovely with your complexion! If you're making a skirt, it will be farther removed from your face, so perhaps that will make you feel more comfortable wearing it. Plus, you seem to have several tops that would pair well with that color (I'm partial to pink with grey). Good luck on the coat! It's going to be so beautiful.

If the corduroy is 100% cotton, it is dyable but I would recommend swatching it regardless.

Great fabrics. I really like the light color coat you made, it looks store bought. I have been inspired by your knit creations and my first project will be a short light weight jacket with a draped collar. If that turns out well, I'm moving forward with a full length knit dress. Thanks for sharing.

Sarah, the chocolate brown and apricot orange are colors that suit you so well! They made your eyes pop and your hair glow! Thank you for your lovely videos, so inspiring!

I love the pink corduroy, but since you don’t-do you think you could tea dye it??

What a lovely chat with you! Somehow I am not surprised that you are also a fan of William Morris designs! Your embroidery is lovely and I believe it could framed and put on a wall fairly easily. My plan is to one day have a small wall (end of a hall or some such space) covered in William Morris wallpaper, and what better than the Strawberry thief? :)

Your Husband has a beautiful wife. Men are visual. As your husband lives in Paris there must be beautiful night attire available, he could go shopping!!

I would be curious to see if your “Hey Sailor” sweater could be combined with your dusty rose/pink skirt (?)

Adding to the praises of your videos. They are among my favourite on RUclips. I have a question about the Helen's Closet Elliot Sweater. Your versions look a lot more fitted that the one's on the pattern website. I really like the fit of yours. Did you size down? Thanks and happy sewing.

The second project wd also look nice in off white and navy

Pink fabric is lovely. Skip all the fade in the background colors and indulge in happy optomistic colors.

Lovely plans! Exciting to see how it all evolves. I used to sew when I was in my 20s and now abou 20 years later I have rediscovered sewing clothes to myself again. It is nice to see how you have found patterns which you sew over and over again. I am looking forward to find those favourites too, so it will get easier and quicker 😊 The bookmark and sweater look very beautiful! At the moment I am sewing an 18th century style banyan or wrapping gown of a light blue double gauze. It will be my dressing gown/lounge wear when it gets warmer. It is my first project with double gauze, and it was actually you who inspired me to try that type of fabric!😊 Thank you! I found the banyan instructions here on RUclips, it is very simple to cut and sew. I think you might like the style of it very much. In double gauze it looks and feels very flowy, soft, cosy and elegant at the same time.

If you think an embroidered tea towel would be unpractical, you could do an embroidered zipper pouch! I did that as a Christmas gift for a friend and she loved it 🙂 currently I'm also working on a long sleeve shirt with a boat neckline but with a fabric from my stash because I need to get some space for new fabrics first 😄 do you know this? Good luck with the beautiful coat 😍

Love love the coat 🧥 you made yourself- have u thought about learning how to make your own patterns ?

For embroidery. Sarah Homfray is my goto RUclips channel. I am trying to teach myself kogin embroidery from a book. I am also doing sashiko and think your 2024 top with the wave pattern is stunning. Hope your plans come together in finished garments.

Really enjoyed seeing your makes. They are very well done and look fabulous on you! Love the Japanese embroidery! My advice for the socks is to yes, make the wool socks. But try also wearing a moisture-wicking liner layer. It helps to keep your feet warm. Also, keeping your legs and lower legs warm will help keep your feet warm. Same idea for your hands. I have had the same cold hands and feet going on for years and this helped me. Thanks for sharing your videos! Greetings from CT!

Sarah, the brown top will be lovely with the pink skirt. The coat, while an intricate make, will be FANTASTIC. 😍 Looking forward to your videos on these plans.

❤

I love the pink corduroy. You might tea dye a swatch to see if you can calm down the color, experimenting with the time you leave the fabric in the tea.

I made Grace coat wearable toile and love it :)

The pink is a must. You need more fun items!!!

The color for the coat is beautiful! Seems great for winter and spring. The pink corduroy looked good with your skin tone in the video. I think it will make a great mini version of the Ramona skirt. Maybe pairing it with certain colors will mute the brightness a bit if you’re not comfortable with that. But the color also makes it a great choice for winter and spring. Would look great with a brown top in the fall too. All of your plans sound amazing. Happy sewing, knitting, and embroidering! Take care and thanks for sharing 🪡 🧵

They grey, cornflower blue, and the pink look really nice on you. I think you might be a soft summer. These colors are in that palette!

I love the idea of having a coat in a beautiful soft color

I thought about signing up for seamwork yesterday but I got very turned off by the false advertising “risk free trial.” There’s actually no trial, they just give you 30 days to ask for a refund. They also auto renew with no notice which I find unethical. So unless those things change, no membership for me 🤷‍♀️

I think you will be surprised how nice the skirt will look in the pink corduroy, will definitely suit you!
