Thank you for a great video and brilliant ideas. I do love capsule wardrobe ideas ❤

Great idea to create a whole capsule collection out of cotton! Just shows how versatile it is. Thanks so much for joining the vlog tour Laura!

Lovely ideas. Hope your mum's ok. I was sitting in my mum's conservatory today, also in my boots to keep warm!!!

Great take on the challenge Laura & some good suggestions 😍

It was lovely to see you. Enjoying seeing what guy purchased after I set off into Birmingham xx

very interesting, so easy to lose enthusiasm or get nervous about a project, really useful to think about why. I have a few WIPs. I think I have learnt I have a short attention span and get caught up in all the new shiny things. Whilst I think I am being more efficient cutting out a number of things at once, I am actually better cutting and sewing one thing at a time and actually finishing things.

Hi Laura, I went to the show yesterday and had a lovely day. I also purchased the firework fabric from Roy’s material world and the made to be subtle labels. I felt the show wasn’t as big as the March one

Looks like you had a lovely day Laura 🥰

I love living in Northumberland but it's so far from anywhere. I'm about 50 miles from the Scottish border. Travel is so expensive and the trains very unreliable too. One day, maybe, I'll get to the Harrogate show...

Congratulations on your thousand subscribers, Laura, and well done for finishing the bomber. Love the fabric!

I very much enjoyed your piece on procrastination. This is my first time to see your videos. I could identify completely with all of the reasons you gave. I have fabrics in my stash, which is not huge, that were bought as far back as 15 years ago maybe longer. Some don't appeal to me as much anymore, or I no longer have enough fabric for my more mature figure. However in the last 3 months I made a denim style jacket which fits me well and I got compliments every time I wore it and that has spurred me on greatly. I made a note of some of the patterns you mentioned that are really lovely especially B6388. I need to check if they are still available. I have subscribed so I hope you reach your 1000 target very soon. I'm now going to check out some of your other blogs.

Thanks for sharing your wips, and reasons. I get to the fiddly bits and get distracted by the next project. Or if it isn't finished in time for Christmas or birthdays, I get upset about it and the project just never gets finished. I am hoping the #finishthatwip2024 challenge this month helps me get the ones on the top of the sewing table FINISHED.

Hello Laura. I'm here stopping by for a few minutes! Have a blessed evening.

Re the stripy dress. I think bamboo would be way too drapey. Maybe a drapey Ponte would be good? One with a high viscose content. Re lumps and bumps. I find making a stretch lining that I attach at the neck and armholes really smooths me out! Lovely pattern. Oh and I have ordered the Butterick tunic dress pattern after spotting it in this vlog - so thank you!

Totally with you on the bag making intimidation! Maybe we need an overcoming procrastination sewing day!

A really interesting vlog - thank you! I tend to procrastinate all the time and I think the biggest thing is fear. But I am getting better by dividing a project into small chunks so I set mini goals - like re-threading the machines, cutting out and so on. It stops me from feeling overwhelmed by the project. All your reasons for procrastinating are totally understandable and I think your bag is going to be amazing.❤

Great idea to do a procrastination vlog!😂 I think we all have them and never think about “the why” and whether it is worth pushing forward with it! I think Season and weather changes play a big part for me, as once it is no longer blazing hot out, all my sleeveless ideas go out the window, lol! You have some great projects going and we’re all waiting to see these later on! ❤❤

With the bag, you could always make a summer one up first, in not overly pricey fabric, in order to do a 'test run' and get the confidence to sew up the faux leather.

I'd be interested to see how that bias binder works if you have time please? It would be good to see how easy it really is to use! I tend to struggle with everything which is even slightly mechanical 😂😊

Those shorts are fantastic 🎉 and so beautifully made. Ive really enjoyed all your Busy Bees makes and have subscribed ❤

Very clever to use the clocks fabric! I love those colors for autumn but usually can only find animal prints, which I do not wear at all. So you’ve inspired me to find that fabric for myself! Again, a moderately priced, stable fabric, thank you! 😊😊😊

Thanks for the Google lens tip! Sewing is so expensive these days and I’m especially unhappy with the price of fabrics. Trying to make my wardrobe as inexpensively as possible, so thank you very much for your video and tips regarding discounts, too! ❤😊

The shorts look great Laura & I’m sure will be great for lots of future holidays 🤩

xXX👍👍👍

I’d love to see you incorporate heated vinyl onto your make! I think it’s something really different, I also wish more people would show other aspects of their makes, like adding embroidery etc as it’s a fantastic way to make your garments really special. It’s a shame that the different crafts aren’t embraced together more often, I think it is a skill in itself. X

Your husband looks lovely in his new shorts!

Your jacket looks great, love the red topstitching

Looks like a very professional job, Laura. My machine refused to cooperate when I was trying to do buttonholes. I unpicked so many times that eventually the project ended up in the naughty corner. It was only a cushion cover to enter in the village show, so it didn't matter too much and I made a different one but it was so frustrating!

Well done Laura, it looks fab. I especially love the red topstitching ♥️

Well done on your jacket huni. You guys both chose fantastic fabric for this jacket. After seeing it in person your sewing skills were evident. Well done ❤❤

Great jacket, love the pink topstitching 😍 I do like a denim jacket and have made a couple using Simplicity 8845, I have at least one more of them planned too!

The jacket looks fabulous,well done💙💙💙

xXX👍👍👍

Your jacket is lovely especially the pink topstitching.

As someone who plans to sew that pattern up, I am very appreciative of all your comments and ideas. Thanks! Subscribed

Hi Laura, I just made the Ethel Tote! I'm quite pleased with it even though my lining is a bit saggy. It's helped with my sewjo, which went missing for a while. Thanks for showcasing the pattern.

I love your bag and your use of thr fabric it’s such a shame that the fabric is not colour fast.

Fab vlog Laura. I haven’t heard of google lens. I’ll give it a go. I love your fabrics. I’ve messaged you on Insta. We have the same plans on one of your fabrics. That made me smile. X

Loving the bag transformation Laura and I just got the shorts/trouser pattern on my recent trip to try! See you at the weekend 😀 xx

You are very skilled. 🥰

xXX👍👍👍

I feel famous :). The bag looks fantastic, hopefully you can set that colour so you can use it often. This bag is my everyday handbag, I customised my internal pockets so that I had a zipper pocket, a wide pocket for documents etc, glasses, and this bag will hold water bottles too. Next time I want to put strap connectors on so that I can replace the strap sometimes, my fabric strap is fraying a bit now after two years of use (it only gets dragged out once a month for visits to shops etc so it's not even heavy use, I need to work on my strap sewing). If you have good pinking shears, that can be a good way to trim the seams AND snip all the curves at the same time. I really like the idea of putting a magnetic closure in it next time, I have seen a youtube tutorial for putting a zip in too, a recessed zipper? Hope you did your transformation challenge in 30 minutes for authenticity :) :). I really enjoy all your videos.

Great bag😊 I’ve got that pattern but not got around to trying, think I may have to now! Great plans for the next challenge too

Love the shorts material 😍. I'm sure you will be able to cut round the dirty mark. Really looking forward to seeing them ❤

Your bag is great. It looks so professional, and with all those pockets, it's so useful too. Thank you for showing us that Shank tool/humper jumper. I've just made a bag and really struggled with some of the bulky seams, so I'll have a look at getting one. Thank you 😊
