Ah, there’s that beautifully fitting Fern Bird! So pretty. I love that you kept lifting the folders up 😂. I’m laughing with you, not at you, because I would have done EXACT the same thing.
Ahhh two fernbirds of a feather laugh with each other together 🤣🤣 I just couldn’t believe I kept showing the nothing! 🙄 Yes I love a good giggle, even at my own expense!🤣🤣🤣😝 Yes, loving this Fernbird… a few tweaks in the next one 🥰🦩🥰🦩
Your fern bird is beautiful! So glad you altered it. The fabric is gorgeous 😊
Love your new Fernbird that fits you, great new patterns, interested to see your t shirt makes, Deb
I also hold up my perfectly plain A0 envelopes when I show them in videos 😂 it’s impossible not to! I love the new fern bird 🔥
Oh thank goodness for that Erin… thought I was the only one - 😝🙄 I’m so happy with the Fernbird …. However…… there is a change or two I’ve made to the pattern 🤔😜 Thank you 🦩🥰🦩🥰
Love your happy mail I do the same putting them in plastic envelopes have a wonderful ❤😊😊
I’m so glad I found your videos during VLOGMAS this year. Enjoyed today’s video! Angie
Thanks HEAPS Angie… I often thinks everyone needs a little crazy in their life…. Love being people’s little bit of crazy 😝 It wasn’t a true planned vlog but the stuff showed up and I thought ‘why not’ right. All the patterns I found are now in the plastic envelopes… which is AWESOME and I can then sort properly (I think 🤔) 🥰🦩🥰🦩
@ I’ve been wanting to do that, ordered a pack of 5 to try out, and I just haven’t gotten to it yet. You have motivated me to open the package of envelopes up and give it a go! Happy Monday!
@ ohhh hun I’m we’ll into Tuesday now. Tell me when you get the envelopes and how you go ❤️❤️
Awesome!!! Love those big patterns 😍
I know hun I know…. 😝 🦩🥰🦩🥰
Stacy you look fantastic…you look like you have lost weight….well done love to know your secret……how is you studio coming on…hope your happy with it…❤😊
Thanks Mich…. I owe my weightloss to a fantastic dude called Dan. He has taught me the way of eating and sorted me out. He insists I did the hard work, but if you’re trying to fix and tap but it’s the pipes they are broken you won’t get anywhere. He told me it was the pipes. (Don’t ya love my metaphor) missmetabolism.com.au He is in Sydney. My studio- not had the full time to love it yet…. Give me til the end of March and ask again. Head down and bum up working atm… I think MY sewing year will start beginning of March 🤣🤣🤣 I will be doing all my make 9’s this year for sure… and a tonne more! Hey thanks for noticing the weight… 😊 🥰🦩🥰🦩
@ well you look great for it…..looking forward to seeing your finished studio xx
What a dreadful day! I’m so sorry for Mabel and I hope it all works out. ❤ What a relief that you have it on film. I can’t imagine how distressed you must be.
Thanks Genevieve I didn’t hear from the council yesterday… and they said they would call if a complaint came thru… so nothing yet… I’ll call them today 😳 At least I’m not waking up thinking about it now. Thanks so much 🦩🥰🦩🥰
❤❤
Back at ya ❤️🥰🦩🥰🦩
Hi Stacey I’m catching up on your vids as I’ve missed a fair few (it was me not you ☺️) I loved the skirt fashion show, the flared skirt silhouette works well on you. The flared tiered boho style is my fave on you. I also prefer wider elastic waistbands of late. They’re so much more comfortable and give me a little more support around the spare tyre 🫣. McCalls 7906 is beautiful. I’m sorely tempted to make something similar. I may just has fabric for it 😂 I’m sure we’ve all bought fabric that spoke to us, but once made up we don’t ‘feel’ it anymore for whatever reason. I’ve been very meh about my clothes for a while now, and you hit the nail on the head: none of my clothes are speaking to me for where I am right now. I need to get back behind my machine again (had a forced hiatus due to some major renovation and then family staying over The Season), I’ve missed it. Btw: I’m loving your hair.
I don’t wear skirts… here’s some of my skirts. 😅😂and skirtage is a word! 😊
I have them … I don’t always wear them…. And yip… skirtage is definitely a word right!!! 🤣🤣🤣 I think I have worn more skirts in the past month than I have in the past 5 years 😳🙄😝 🥰🦩🥰🦩
Love your skirts, Stacey. I haven't made one for myself yet but I made the style Arc Lila for my daughter and it was wonderful. Im going to try it for me. I'm 78 going on 21 would it work?
I have been making lots of 70s-style wrap skirts since just b4 Christmas. Have you looked at those perhaps
I do have the bohemian wrap skirt from Pattern Emporium, making it for my friends birthday last September 🙄😜 Guess that will be made after February and the wedding stuff 😳🙄 I do love a good wrap skirt …. They are always as tight as you want them to be right 😜 🥰🦩🥰🦩
Love the polka dot skirt on you. Low on the waist, smoothly falls into a nice flare. I can see what you’re saying about the dropped waist on you. I’m a wide waistband girl..all the way.. too. I tend to gravitate toward high (and wide) waistband maxi skirts as proportionately, I have a longer torso and shorter legs by comparison. However, I have plans for an above the knee skirt to wear with tights and boots and a matching jacket. Not sure it will suit me but I want to try it. Because I’m 21 too! 🙃
Is 'skirtage' even a word
I loved the first one Stacey. Cheers Mary🦩🦩🦩🦩💖💖💖
Oh I do love the sound of jet noise 😏✈️ I 100% get what you mean about needing the right top for some skirts. I find them harder to style than pants. Def agree to get rid of the blue and gray one. The rest seem to be working for you (with the right top). Can’t wait to see the Tommie. I think it’ll really flatter you
Cute skirts! I think it's funny that you are making skirts and I'm converting my skirts to dresses! I also went through my winter clothes today and decided that a bunch of them are going to the thrift store.
I loved the first skirt on you. Do you have any pattern recommendations for the drop waist skirts. Also Love Notions have a pattern which has a lot of variety in one pattern. Just had the chat with Dan. A bit of a shock the cost. Fingers crossed it works.? Your thoughts. Happy sewing.
Like them all the first one is my fav but they all suit you im not a skirt person at all mostly dresses very enjoyable video gave a wonderful week and take care ❤❤😊
I think the green one suits you the best. Length,floaty fabric and style. Very boho. Happy days.❤❤❤❤
all of those skirts look so good on you! I love all of the Friends references too!
Loving the yoga waistbands, so easy to wear. I am tempted to make a skirt on a deep denim yoke from the 70s, they look really cute. I need to cull some of my clothes too, getting around to trying everything on is probably the issue, have a fun week, Deb
Hi Stacey I love the first skirt on you the best, and l really like the StyleArc denium skirt pattern. I really like the earth tones of your dress you are wearing, they go well with your hair. You are looking good🦩🦩🦩
I love the red print with wideband. You should definitely take in the band. My favorite was the green/yellow tiered one. So feminine 💜
Oh Tracy it is SO girlie eh…. I do love it and with the wee cammie too I made with it - way girlie. Yes yes with that red band… I’m with you on that…. I NEED to make that dang blouse sorted to wear with it. I have nwt to wear with it atm. 🙄 🥰🥰🥰🦩🦩🦩
Stacey I love the red skirt style on you. The attaching of stiffner stuff works great. I made the button thru skirt. I love it but wore it once before pandemic. Skirts are a funny thing. I made the tulip skirt from the Assembly Line. Again love it but wore once 😂n❤❤
The first one is my favourite on you.
Some lovely patterns there, I am going to go for the love notions caprice skirt, lots of options on that one. Look forward to seeing what you make.
So many options in the caprice skirt - nice choice Deb. Thinking Tommie will be one of the first… plus it hits my Make 9 list 🙌🏻🙌🏻 🥰🦩🥰🦩
@StaceyJsStudio looking forward to seeing it made up and modelled...
The first one was my favourite. You got some really cool patterns there. I've said it before that the Tommie skirt with a boho top over it would be the bomb on you!
Tommie skirt with the Anita peasant blouse… in earthy tones and added beads on the ends … mmm 🤔 Tommie might be the beginning of my Make9’s that should start after the wedding dress and MOG dress. 😳🙄. How dare work get in the way of my clothes 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Beautiful but crisp day here… enjoy your Monday… mums friend lives in Nelson and good weather there last week! 😳 🥰🦩🥰🦩
Hello Monday morning in NZ from Sunday evening in The UK!
Just in from my walk Karen, brisk 11 degrees when I left this morning. Back is feeling much better- TG So back at it! Enjoy the rest of your evening 🥰🦩🥰🦩
Oh my goodness what a week you had! I’m so sorry about the incident with Mabel. Something like that happened with our dog a few years ago (he was a mastiff/pit bull mix). We were walking him in the neighborhood when one of the young boys who lived near us came at the dog with a stick and hit him in the face with it. Before we even knew what was happening, the dog head butted him (didn’t even bite him) but the boy fell down and hurt himself. Thank goodness, other people were around and witnessed the whole thing so even though the boy’s father tried to get the police to force us to put the dog down, we managed to make the whole thing go away. Because you have the whole thing on film, I’m sure it’ll all work out. Sending you lots of hugs my friend! ❤
Oh no, Stacey, you poor thing. What did the parents think would happen if the kids were yelling and screaming. Poor Mable would have been stressed out and confessed. I hope everything will be ok. I'm thinking of you and Mable ❤❤❤
Oh Stacey! Sending you all hugs. What did the parents expect to happen when they were letting their kids run around screaming in front of strange dogs ? I’m so glad you got it on film. I can’t imagine the stress you’re under just now 😟💞🦁💞🦁💞
Oh Stacey..how incredibly stressful. I’m so sorry that happened. I hope everyone involved will make reasonable decisions 💕
Hope everything turns out well ❤
Hope all turns out well for you and Mabel. 😘
So sorry to hear about Mabel. Vert traumatic for all. Hope it work out well. Please take care.
Big hugs to you and Mabel. Hope it works out. Penny
Ok I’m going to be ruthless because that’s how I like to approach my closet clear-outs… but please take it with a grain of salt and know there’s isn’t an ounce of malice here. (I’m always afraid of written comments and how they can be interpreted) 😘. #1 - Go (it’s way too big for you now and does absolutely nothing for your shape). #2 - Go (I don’t love the colour on you; just a little bit blah and also too big). #3 - Go (colour is gorgeous on you, but it’s too big in the shoulders; looks like it’s wearing you instead of you wearing it). #4 - I’m torn on this one. I think it’s super cute and I love the fabrics. It does look pretty big on you though. So maybe Go? #5 - I think this one could stay for a little while longer. It’s really cute and you could get some more wear out of it. #6 - Stay; it’s super cute and such a fun happy colour!
Hi Izzy, love your comment, and you don’t have an ounce of malice in your body… I asked a question, advice on how others see me in these clothes, so needed honest opinions…..#1 is going to go to Mum… #2 I think I agree, I loved the fabric, but yes (I honestly dont think I have ever worn it….) I don’t think it does anything for me… wont even suit mum… #3 yes that colour is my colour…. Most blues are… but yes, and although I have worn it a bit last year, I don’t think it is the 2025 me… #4 yes even mum suggested I take it in…. But I’ll take it to the bin…. #5 a few are torn on this one, and I still am too… mainly cause I love the girlieness of it… so unlike me… not as girlie…. But it might be in the closet for a little longer… and #6…. Although a little tight on my back, I’m gonna hold it to see if there is slight shrinkage…. in me that is 🫣🙄. The last dress is a single size, I can do a slight grading.. and I have more of that yellow.. wonder if I actually washed that fabric before I made the dress 🤔😬🤭 that will do it 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Thanks hun, love this explanation 🦩🥰🦩🥰
Oh dear, you've had quite the day. Hope it all works out with Mabel . Hugs to you ♥
What a rotten day! Sorry for what you’re going through Stacey. Big hugs ❤️💕💕💕
Aw Lovely I’m so sorry for the stress of this for you with Mabel. Honestly, some parents just don’t know how to handle different situations involving their kids. (Especially if they the precious type). So glad you’ve got it all filmed. I’m exactly like you, when things get too emotional, I just want to lay down and sleep. Hoping against hope that this all is easily and sensibly resolved. ❤
Oh no poor Mabel what a week you have had please take care hope everything turns out well❤❤
Sorry to hear about Mabel, she's such a big softie who almost cries when told to go sit down all she wants is cuddles. I think that the child needs to be taught how to behave around animals, thank goodness for your security cameras. Take care of yourself, sit down and breathe, luvya ❤🎉❤🐸💕
Aw Stacy I’m so sorry to hear you’ve had a rotten day…I really hope the dog situation gets sorted smoothly for you…….my friends little boy always screamed around our dog…..she was the most gentle placid little thing, but when he screamed she stressed and would nip who was near her usually me….she could cope with him…..sending much love your way ❤😊
So sorry to hear about the incident with Mabel. I really can’t imagine what a worrying time it is for you. Sending you love and hugs and I hope that everything turns out ok. ❤
Thanks Sandra, I know Willow will miss Mabel dearly if we have to get rid of her …. But need to do what is required… I called the authorities and told them when it happened, now to wait. 🤔 🥰🦩🥰🦩
Oof what a stressful event. I hope you and Mabel have been able to calm down some, and that the child is okay. We always hold B if we know that someone has dogs because a lot of them will act out of character around small kids. Hopefully nothing comes of it and everyone is okay. PS I’m glad you got that fern bird done for yourself!
Stressful for all. I must say I am glad it wasn’t an attack, it was a nip… would be happier if it never happened at all. I have loads of young kids come to me, but never this reaction. I feel so bad and will do what is asked of me by authorities…. I do have a few people that want to take her home so they have spoken up, and they were there yesterday after it had all gone down. They love Mabel. 🥲
The yellow dress seems to fit. Maybe you could wear a white t-shirt under the blue polka dot dress? The rest seem pretty big.
Sending you a big hug & Mable one too. She must have been stressed to have reacted so out of character so the parents have to take some responsibility. Hope all turns out well. 🦩🦩🦩
Thank Nicky, the lady that works for the Animal Control Department- who I rung after it happened, she explained that she had been to all the primary schools in the area to teach about dogs. Unfortunately I believe this was this girls first year of school. The poor little thing though, and so stressful for the parents. 🦩🥰🥰🥰🦩
@ stressful for you all 😕I hope everything calms down and gets sorted happily 💕
@ Same hun same 🦩🥰🦩🥰
