eeee it turned out so cute! And you're so fun! I'm so happy to have found your channel!
@@WithLoveKristina awe thank you! I'm actually a big fan of your channel! ♥️♥️♥️
I found you because I'm a Rachel fan as well, I think you're fun! Though I live in Canada now, I remember Mum telling me about Christmas Day on the beach and Dad swimming and surfing on Bondi Beach😊
Subscribing! Haven’t even finished yet but i can tell you’re the exact creator vibe I enjoy 😂 Cute video! :)
@@lauracgc awe thanks so much! 💓
Spotlight online are usually pretty good. It's no guarantee but as long as you can find your fabric (search is sometimes terrible - searching for Nightmare before Christmas fabric is one) they will tell which store has some left. Ive been redirected to a couple no where as far as Bayswater. By the way your dress looks great. You did well, you made it work.
@@beccssmith6285 it wasn't on the website but that is an excellent tip. It was incredibly unlikely that I would come across it again but it has happened before for me in the past so I took the gamble. I'm glad the dress worked out in the end though, thanks for watching ♥️♥️♥️
Thanks Amy. Very helpful.
I'm so glad it was helpful! 😊
Loving the 'brass band in a park' type of music
It's the latest recycling of the prairie look and back to the land movement that we had in the 1970s.
@@littleblackcar it definitely is, goes all the way back to Marie Antoinette's chemise a la Reine while pretending to be a peasant, probably even earlier but that's the earliest example off the top of my head
Thanks for an excellent list of suggestions for me to make… I am currently attempting to make some cottage core items for my own wardrobe so this video was perfectly timed!
@@amyrobertson6075 that's awesome!
Your analysis of Australian Halloween is spot on. I always felt as an Aussie that celebrating or acknowledging Halloween feels kinda like celebrating someone elses birthday while never getting ones own. Seasonaly speking, it doesn't make sense for us to celebrate a pagan holiday marking the end of an october harvest. Paganally (wut?) speaking, it makes the most sense to celebrate at a time and in a fashion that honours the unique habitat and seasonal forces of each global pagan colony. Australians might celebrate Haloween on April 30, decorate with bansia wreaths and of course get hammered.
I was just thinking that I need to correct my reliance on Etsy since they accidentally suspended my account for a couple weeks (fixed now). That and the drop in overall quality of sellers, lack of support to legitimate small businesses and the rise of AI rubbish… 🫠 thank you for making these videos ❤
loved this, found lots of patterns i liked and will definitely get yours!!
@@WDesigns awe thanks so much!!!!
I love this, but can you add chapters?
Thanks Amy. Love your work. P.s Pet,ri,core: the smell of rain.
@@mariannepastuch9197 oh!!! Thank you!
You are a godsend! I swear I had scoured everywhere looking for more patterns and kept coming up against stupid AI ones or patterns that aren't actually plus size. You're amazing!! ❤🎉
@@haleyhoudini thanks so much! I'm so glad my video was useful for you!
I love all these recommendations. I am predominantly a knitter and very new to sewing and I find it really hard to find patterns as I am so used to searching on ravelry. Wish there was a sewing equivalent, but your videos are really helpful to find different pattern companies outside of the ones you can find at Spotlight.
Calling @rachelmaksey because she’ll love it
Omg I subscribed so fast! I’m planning my ideal wardrobe for my size and style and to accommodate for my disabilities and I love how breezy and flowy cottagecore is 🥹
@@honeyviolets welcome and thank you so so much! 😍😍😍
I've been staring at your outfit the whole video and now I'm really excited about your pattern!
@@therewillbecatswithgwenhwyfar aww thank you so much!!!!
Well shoot. I didn’t think I was gonna be tempted to get any patterns from T&T, but after checking them out, I already found 4 patterns in the last 5 minutes that I need. So long, paycheck!
@@SewHealthyWithDiane just in time for their sale too!!! Awesome! What did you get? I already have almost every pattern, they are brilliant!
Hello, I had to watch it twice. First for shear enjoyment. Second, pattern suggestions.
@@antoninettealexander126 thanks so much!!!! 😍😍😍
The Albion blouse is one of my favorite patterns ever
@@dacrayzblaze1 thanks for validating, that's so good to know!
Hi Amy! Greetings from Helsinki, Finland! 🙂
@@miladee8793 Moi!!!! 💚💚💚
Love your pattern round up videos. Even when Im not in a place to start a new project or the items arnt something Im currently looking for they work as such great inspiration for later. Knowing that there are so many options for my own size and I dont have to just stare sadly at the limited selection of big name pattern companies.
@@SnoogyWoogy that's brilliant, I'm so glad you enjoy my roundups! Hooray for indie patterns! ♥️♥️♥️
Thank you so much for rounding all this info up together for Me. I appreciate all the plus-size patterns. Curvy Girls need cute clothes too. You are awesome!
@@balbea88 we absolutely do! thanks for watching and supporting!
Thanks for the video. 😊 AI on Etsy is really a curse. Especially anything that is printed.
@@nian60 thanks again for watching, the AI ones are multiplying so fast it's hard to keep up, but there are lots of indie designers out there too ♥️
@@amyofmelbourne Thanks. 😊 Yeah. They can be hard to find though, in a sea of AI.
Very good Rachel Maksy-costume! Thanks for doin it, it made the algorithm send you to me :D
Rachel is one of my favorites! Your dress turned out super cute 🦇💕
Michael is a true sweetheart for going and filming this. It’s wonderful that he knows and understands your needs and things that are important to you! Felting using a needle like those kits is fun but a word of advice, don’t have anything that might distract you going on in the background like kids, pets, television ect. The second I would lookup I would stab myself with the barbed needles every time! It is a fun hobby that you can do some really cool creatures with. Wet felting is totally different and I will be trying that in about 5-6 months as it’s getting very cold here and could snow at anytime. I want to do it outside because I will make a big mess lol! I saw a class for making a fantastic witch like hat that is wet felted that I want to do. I subscribed and I can’t wait to see what you make with what he got you!
@@shellyboggs9093 omg it is definitely a craft that requires FULL concentration! Wet felting looks incredible, but a wet felted witches hat sounds absolutely enchanting! What an amazing idea! I would LOVE to see that!
I just found you and I am really enjoying your content!!!love the dress and how you do your make up!
This was such a fun video!
You are so damn pretty! Such beautiful eyes and such a bright smile. I love the outfit at the end, especially that green color... but I also really liked that outfit in the beginning. Great video! Fun to learn about how you celebrate holidays in Australia.
Loving this. I’m a Middle-aged, Plus-size nanny in Hollywood, CA, who doesn’t sew… So, I’ll live vicariously. Cheers to You & Rachel.
G'day Amy, First time seeing your work as you just popped up in my feed, so I thought "Why not?" I must say it was well worth it, chaotic sewing is absolutely my jam 😁 You mentioned a corset/stays you were going to release the pattern for, I went on the hunt but came up empty handed,,, 🥺 Where might one find this elusive treasure of a plus-size historical foundation garment? I've been trying for yonks to find one that is somewhat more suited to a fuller figure and hopefully, not a nightmare to put together as most of my sewing is by hand these days... old faithful is chucking a major hissy fit,,, might have to shout her a birthday prezzie 🥴 Anyhoo, can't wait to see the corset video if or when it drops 😉 🙃🐨🇦🇺
You mentioned you feel left out having the nice autumn vibes for Halloween. If it’s any consolation, there’s several places in America where we don’t get the fall vibes. I’m in Phoenix, AZ, I call it the Australia of America as it’s hot and sunny, and we have pretty big spiders. No fall vibes in the middle of the Sonoran Desert 🏜️ the part of America that I’m originally from has pretty decent fall vibes for Halloween and I miss it. It really is a different experience
This is WAY cute! And, I've been thinking, if halloween were in spring, you shouldn't need to trick or treat in the snow.
@@TruFlyFox that's definitely true! I've actually only seen snow 4 times in my life and only once in Australia, that was about 20 years ago on a school trip!
I love Rachel, and now I love you too!🥰
Thank you!! I found you on a whim. Rachel LaMay is my favorite along with Morgan Donner, and Bernadette Banner.
Dang autocorrect!! Maksy I meant.
Congratulations on finishing the dress with the fabric you had! It looks great! 👍🏻
I love Rachel. You nailed the look! It's not unlike a rachel video without some chaos 😂 . Ps remember piecing is period and everyone has been doing that since the dawn of time!
@@HosCreates that's a good point and something I need to remember more often. Thanks for watching
Very helpful. Thank you.
@@nancybecker1173 thanks for watching!
Wrap dresses eat up so much fabric its unbelievable!
Right! And then a pleated wrap dress?! What was I thinking 😅
I hope she sees this!
That would be amazing 🤩
I did found you before her (still dont know who she is) bc of your dark academia plus size video, and now i have watched all your videos xD
Omg that's incredible! Thanks so much, I feel like a rockstar now 😆
I actually only have 13 at the moment which doesn't feel like too many for me 😂 that's across knitting, cross stitch, sewing and quilting
@@Callyisthebomb wow that's actually so minimal!
AHHH! I'm SO Happy you did this because I now have a new person to subscribe to! I'm plus-size, too, so now I'm so very excited to dive into your content. You're super relatable, cute, and funny! Your dress turned out so cute! Great job!
Thank you so much! I'm glad you found me - I'm excited to have you join the weirdo brigade! ♥️
Your husband is a lovely guy for going to Nippori Fabric Town and not only filming some content for you but buying you some goodies as well. I can honestly say my husband would NEVER do any of that for me. I enjoyed watching your video. I find it interesting to see textiles from other countries and the places they sell those textiles. Thanks for the video, I enjoyed it very much. Oh, YES, I would love to see you make things out of the fabric and things your husband brought you from Japan.
@@Catsface99 awe, he is pretty special that's for sure. Thanks so much for taking the time to watch ♥️♥️♥️
Omg, I've been watching Rachel for literal years! So cool seeing a local take up the cottage core/floor troll vibe. Love the result!
Yes! Except I got bad knees so I table troll instead of floor troll 🤣🤣🤣
This just turned up in my feed and you definitely pulled off Rachel Maksy.
Awe thank you!
I'd call it an inredible success. It looks exactly like a dress she would make/has made, and you styled it perfectly. I hope Rachel sees this and loves it!
Thank you so much, that would be amazing if she did! Thanks for watching!!!
No worries!!! It turned out lovely!!! 💃🏻✨ I thought maybe you'd end up with an apron. 😂 RM is fun to play with! I'm now subscribed to your channel and look forward to sharing in your adventures!!! 🎉😅 Thanks for sharing!!! 😊 Love, Hugs, Blessings & Sparkles! ❤️🫂🙏🏻💖✨
Awe thank you!!!!!! ✨✨✨
