Hello 😊👋🏼
Welcome to my channel. Hope you have enjoyed joining me today and seeing my makes from January 2021 ☺️
As always my measurements are as follows :
Height 5ft 6
Bust 36"
Waist 30"
Hips 37"
If you fancy following me over on Instagram - then here is the link to my grid :

So today I talked about the following makes :
The Tilly and the Buttons Indigo dress made using a viscose fabric from Sew Hayley Jane. I made this in a size 4 and added waist ties.
I have also done a sew along on my channel for this dress, which you can find here :
• Sew with me - Tilly an...
Amy's stripey Agnes Hack dress from Tilly and the Buttons. I used viscose jersey from Minerva. Com which was gifted to me in exchange for a blog post. This was made in a size 2.
Here is a link to the blog post on Tillys site on how to make this dress :

Amy then told you about her knitting makes. The first of these was her Green Cardigan from the Tudor Roses book by Alice Star more. The pattern was the Margaret Beauford. The yarn was from virtual yarns.
The white cardigan was a pattern from hobby craft including the buttons and yarn
And finally her hat was a free pattern from Ravelry with spare yarn she had in her stash.
I then shared my knitting too 😊. I made a lemon Tee, size medium, from the We Are Knitters website :

Here's a code for you to be able to use and get a £10 discount :

My green dress was the New Look 6574 with a viscose twill fabric from Sew Hayley Jane. I made this in a size 14 but reduced the back seam by 2 cm each side (4cm overall)
Finally I made the Sew Over It Ultimate Pencil skirt, made in a size 12, in Ponte Roma, which allowed me to remove the zip.
This fabric was from Minerva. Com - again gifted to me in exchange for a blog post.

Well done to your daughter, lovely to see someone younger actually knitting 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Aaaah thank you - it's really lovely to see isn't it 🥰
Just watched this blog and it’s January 2023. I do enjoy your blogs I went into your older ones to watch ones I missed. You are quite the talented family! Amazing makes. As always you look like a model in your pics! Love the last outfit especially! ❤
Oh thank you! That's so kind of you 🥰
What wonderful talented daughter's you have. They obviously learnt from Mum.
That's so kind of you, thank you 😊
I absolutely love seeing Amy's knitting projects!
Thank you, she’s really good isn’t she, bless her 🥰
@@DevonThreadTales She's amazing, for such a young person!
I'm loving seeing your girls get more involved in your channel! (And there's nothing wrong with your jeans!!)
Aaaah thank you - I'm so pleased they're happy to be involved. Thank you 🥰
Love your daughter! She makes amazing things! Love your makes too!
Thank you so much!! ❤️❤️❤️
Your make are all lovely, sewing & knitting! I think the flowy dresses do look very pretty on you; it's fun to explore new styles and options, even if they may not end up being part of your main wardrobe menu. Just follow your heart - make/wear whatever inspires you to feel your best and most confident! Amy's knitting makes are beautiful - she is SUCH a talented knitter! fyi...i'm likely switching over to a new YT account soon so, if you begin to see comments from The Sewing Gemini, it's still me! Have a great Valentine's Day weekend!
Thank you - and yes I agree it's good to explore sometimes, as you may discover something you love that you didn't realise you would 😊
Thank you - Amy really is so good at knitting, I just can't do what she does - I love all her makes!
Oooohhh are you setting up a vlog yourself?
Thank you so much!! ❤️❤️❤️
The green dress looks amazing on you. I think the more fitted shape is more you than the indigo. Looking forward to seeing the second version. All the knitting is lovely and your daughter is so clever.
Thank you so much - I agree a more fitted shape is much more me!
Thank you so much!! ❤️❤️❤️
I am always impressed with your sewing skills Angela. You are just as beautiful as you are talented. I am equally impressed with Amy’s knitting. This girl has enormous talent. All your girls have your talent I think. How proud I’m sure you are. Thanks for sharing these gifts with us.
Oh my goodness that is so very kind of you - thank you 🥰I am so proud of the girls, they really are very special ❤️
Thank you so much!! ❤️❤️❤️
Amy's knits are so beautiful, what a talented young lady. Your makes are lovely too! I really loved the first dress, first time I've seen that pattern done in a drapey fabric . Looks fab on you!
Thank you so much! Amy really is - she just has so much patience! Thank you ❤️
Your dresses snd skirt that you made for yourself are beautiful! You look lovely in all of them. I really love the knitted sweater too. Your daughters knitting is incredible. I really enjoyed looking at her beautiful makes. And the embroidery done by the oldest girl is absolutely lovely. How nice that you all can share in a talent like sewing together-such as knitting and embroidery. It must bring a special comradeship between the three of you.
Thank you so much! 🥰Thank you - Amy's knitting is so fab isn't it. It's been so lovely that they have all taken up some craft - we have had some lovely afternoons together ❤️
I absolutely ADORE that green dress. My favorite of all the makes I’ve seen you do. The style, fabric, color and fit are perfection!
Thank you so much! That is so so lovely of you - thank you 🥰
what a lovely young daughter you have you must be very proud of her
Thank you so much, I am so proud of her. 😊❤️
Amy's dress is gorgeous, Amy is so talented with her knitting, the green dress is beautiful, love all of your makes x
Thank you so much! 🥰
The new look green and white dress looks absolutely stunning on you
Thank you so much, that's so kind of you 😊💕
That blue dress looks darling on you. And it suits you well. I would wear in summer for casual. Your daughter's dress looks so cute on her and is such a good fit. And your daughter is a very talented knitter.
Oh thank you! That's so kind of you 🥰
Thanks for sharing. Love your daughter's knitting. 😊
Thank you! 😊 That's so kind of you 🥰
The blue dress looks great ....... you are in great shape ...frankly you would look good in a T towel x
Bless you - thank you - that is so kind of you ❤️
They both look great on you but I love the green fabric. I'm with youn on big flowy dresses but you wear it well.
Thank you so much. I've worn the green dress now a couple of times, and I am actually really liking it. So there's hope yet 😂
Thank you so much!! ❤️❤️❤️
Everything is beautiful. Your daughter's sweaters and hat are absolutely gorgeous also
Thank you so much! 🥰
Your knitted pieces are great especially the work in your daughters green masterpiece.
Thank you so much! 🥰
I made this same pattern for a client in two different fabrications. I had to make similar alterations for her dress as well. I made a muslin/mock up before I sewed the dress. I was glad that I did that because it didn't fit right at all. It was worth the extra effort though, because like you, the final result turned out really well.
Aaaah yes - doing a muslim is such a good thing to do. I quite often get impatient and don't do one, but it never pays!
Thank you so much!! ❤️❤️❤️
Yes love the green dress on you
Thank you so much!! ❤️❤️❤️
Beautiful dress, you look great in swishy dresses. Your daughters knitting is amazing, she is very clever! Bridget
Thank you so much! That's so kind of you ❤️
I always enjoy your videos and I wanted to say that your daughters knitting is superior
Thank you so much, that's so kind of you. Thank you so much for watching 🥰
Angela, well done your dresses, top and skirt look good, also the hack you did with the Agnes top to make it into a dress for your daughter really suits her. I probably prefer the style of the green dress on you rather than the blue one but if you are not happy with the length of either you could always shorten them. Your daughters are really talented & the things Amy knitted are beautifully done.
Thank you so much!! ❤️❤️❤️
Yes I agree - I prefer the green dress too. I will definitely think about shortening the blue dress in the summer.
Thank you so much - I shall let Amy know about your kind comments too 🥰
Such great makes you are a joy to watch thanks for brighten up my Saturday morning xx
Thank you so much!! ❤️❤️❤️
Hi Angela, your makes are lovely, the green dress is gorgeous on you. I think it's great that your girls are sewing and as usual Amy's makes are amazing xx
Thank you so much!! ❤️❤️❤️ I'm so please you've enjoyed seeing it all 🥰
Your daughter’s knitting is amazing. What talent she has
Thank you so much!! ❤️❤️❤️
Wow! I absolutely agree!!! Well Done
Wow, your daughters are so lovely and really made gorgeous makes! Thanks for a lovely video!
You are so kind, thank you so much 🥰
Thank you for a much needed dose of positivity Angela. Love the makes, the green dress is beautiful. I feel exactly the same about the dresses as I've worn jeans and trousers almost exclusively for more years than I want to even admit to, but think that if I keep persevering with my Indigo I'll eventually be comfortable wearing dresses. Amy is totally amazing, I loved the Alice Starmore Tudor Rose rendition. It's taken me probably 25 years to knit with that kind of confidence - Amy really has it nailed - totally awesome! I agree with you re: Claire who makes things' channel, she really is such a darling lady and another must watch (along with yours) when you need a bit of a mood lifter. Hugs from a freezing snowy Sussex. xx
Just to add, there's a lovely beginner friendly cardigan pattern on Ravelry called Felix you can either get the jumper or the cardigan pattern, It's knit top down and there is virtually no seaming to do at the end, just sewing in of the ends. I really think you'd like it a great skill booster pattern. x
Thank you so much!! ❤️❤️❤️ That's so kind of you - really glad you've enjoyed it.
It's funny isn't it, we just get comfortable in wearing what we're used too!
Thank you - Amy really is amazing, I love what she is knitting. I can't wait to share what she is knitting currently, it's just beautiful!
Claire is just so lovely isn't she - I would love to meet her one day - she just seems so genuine!
Thank you so much again 🥰
Oooh that's great thank you - I've just looked it up, looks like much more my level for sure 😂. I love the idea of no seams too! ❤️
The indigo dress REALLY suits you! I like the green too but would prefer it shorter..
Thank you - yes maybe next time I will go shorter 🥰
That green Cardigan/Jumper is fabulous well done Amy. I think the green dress with boots will be great, with shoes I think maybe 2" shorter but I like it on you, better than the first dress. Both are fine and look well sewn. I must get on and make myself the ultimate skirt I've had the pattern for ages just never got round to it, I have made the trousers many time just love them. Great vlog hope you and your family stay safe.
Thank you so much!! ❤️❤️❤️. Yes I'm more of a fan of the second dress and have worn it with boots now - and I like that look a lot!
Yes give the skirt a go - it's a lovely pattern
Thank you so much again 🥰
Move over Mummy🤣Amy what a talent! well-done both of you. 🧡
He he he - you're right, she's amazing isn't she!! Thank you so much!! ❤️❤️❤️
I love the green dress. I also think the jeans look great on you.
Thank you so much!! ❤️❤️❤️
Your knitting projects are lovely.
Thank you so much!! ❤️❤️❤️
The green dress is stunning, in fact I paused your video , popped onto ebay and ordered the pattern! lol.
Oooohhh that really made me giggle! So glad you like it, happy sewing and hope you love your too 🥰
Your daughter's knitting is fabulous!
Thank you so much!! ❤️❤️❤️
Beautiful makes! I agree with everyone else, that Indigo dress looks great on you :) Tell your daughter her knitting makes are gorgeous! And good for her for finishing that white cardigan even though she didn't enjoy doing so! It suits her sister beautifully. Tell her I'll be looking up that pattern of the green sweater to make myself. Your daughters' embroidery looks great! And that's a great idea with the ponte ultimate skirt, I might have to try that.
Aaaah thank you so much - that's really kind of you. I shall pass on your message to Amy.
Thank you so much!! ❤️❤️❤️
Wow that green knitted top is just stunning 🙌🏻💜 Go Amy. I love your knitted top too. Love love love your dress. 🙌🏻❤️💙💜
Thank you so much!! ❤️❤️❤️
What a hive of industry your home must have been. You and your girls are so talented. I love the green sweater Amy knitted. Makes me want to get back to knitting. Thank you for such a fun video.
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you have enjoyed it 🥰
My are you both talented. Beautiful makes! Love the Tully dress.
Thank you so much! 🥰
Love your jumper, Amy! You have a great deal of knitting talent! And what a lovely cardy for your sister...
Thank you so much! She did such a lovely job on it all didn't she ! bless her! 🥰
Amy did a great job on the sweaters, wow.
Thank you, she really did ❤️
Hello. I just have to say , your daughters knitting is extraordinary. That green sweater with buttons on the back looks straight out of downton abbey. It’s stunning. The other knitted makes are beautiful as well. Also the thrifted projects are very pretty. Your girls are very talented. I love the skirt you made. It looks fantastic. A classic. I enjoyed seeing these makes. 👌🏼😊
Bless you - thank you so much - she really does have a talent there!
Thank you so much!! ❤️❤️❤️ I'm so pleased you enjoyed seeing it all 🥰
Very nice work of both of you.
Can't wait until your next video.
Bon courage
Thank you so much - that's so kind of you 🥰
Everything you wear looks wonderful on you. I understand how you feel about flowing/swishing dresses. I like them on me but I don’t love them as much as a fitted dress. Now that I’ve lost 40 pounds, I want to make patterns that show off my figure! Your knitting really inspires me. That button stitch is very attractive. Your daughter’s knitting continues to blow me away. Such talent in your family!
Thank you so much!! ❤️❤️❤️ That really is very kind of you.
I do think I agree - I prefer the fitted look for sure - on me.
You should totally show off your figure - you've worked hard for it, be proud! 😊
Aaaah thank you 🥰
I love the green striped dress and your daughters knitting is great shes very talented, the green jumper is beautiful x
Thanks so much 😊 That's so kind of you 🥰
So pleased you made the skirt out of ponte as I've made the tatb bibi but dont like the panels as it interrupts the pattern on fabric. I shall definitely try doing the pencil skirt instead. I know how you feel about making something and then not being sure about it but I find that if i wear it a couple of times I quite often change my mind. I think as we get older we get less confident about trying new styles but I'm determined to be bolder this year 🙂
Aaaah yes - I like the Bibi skirt - but possibly better for plain fabric. I have worn the green dress a few times now, and I really like it. Still on the fence with the Indigo 😂
I agree age changes how you feel about yourself and how you express yourself with clothing. I'll take a leaf out of your book and try and be bolder!
Thank you so much!! ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much for such a lovely mention Angela, that was so kind of you. The memory of my springs shorts all came flooding back, and the story behind them, ha ha. I’ve been thinking of making them again it a lighter weight linen this year. The waist tie on your indigo makes such a big difference, this smock fashion is a difficult thing to get used to isn’t it! The only time smocks have been acceptable in my life time was in pregnancy and even then they looked dated. I still wore figuring hugging clothes and skinny jeans in pregnancy! Lol. I too am trying out fashion I’m not entirely comfortable with. It was lovely to see your makes and your daughters, it’s lovely that you are inspiring them. X
Aaaah no worries Claire - Like I say I love your channel - I just love that you are very natural and genuine 😊
Those shorts in linen would be great!
He he he - yep - I still really am unsure of the smock style! I just can't quite get used to it!
Thank you so much!! ❤️❤️❤️
Don’t try to convince yourself, I can’t say it is my favorite, and I like a lot of what you make and wear.
Aaaah thank you 😊
Your daughter is so talented. The green jumper is amazing. Love all of your makes you have inspired me to try. Up until now I am more of a craft sewer (bags/door stops etc) I love Claire who makes things too (she is another one who is inspiring me to try dressmaking ) xx
Thank you so much - she really is an amazing knitter. Claire is so great isn't she - I love her channel. She just seems like such a lovely and genuine person too.
Good luck with your sewing adventures, it's a lot of fun 🥰
Thank you so much!! ❤️❤️❤️
All your makes are lovely; Amy's knitting is fantastic and the other girls are so creative. You must be so proud of your daughters!! Maybe the green print dress would look better if it was shorter...
Thank you so much!! ❤️❤️❤️. That's so kind of you. Yes I ,ay have a think and shorten it, although I've worn it a bit now, and I'm liking it a lot more 😂
Thank you 🥰
Your daughters are so incredibly creative and talented. You are all so inspiring!!
Thank you so much! That's so kind of you - thank you 🥰
Your daughter is a very very good knitter. Very lovely green sweater.
Thank you so much! 🥰
Love all the dresses and your daughter is just so talented with her knitting.
Thank you so much!! ❤️❤️❤️
As always all your makes and your daughters are lovely. I love long swishy dresses so I'm a bit bias but they really do suit you especially the colours x
Thanks so much 😊. I have worn the green one a couple of times now - and I am much more in"like" with it now 😂. Thank you - you really are very kind 🥰
All I can say is such a talented family 😀, all beautiful makes as always. The green dress is lovely! When I hear you talking about flowing dresses I so understand where you are coming from. My family have me convinced flowing dresses may not be for me either and prefer my Tilly & Buttons ‘Stevie’ and ‘Billy’ makes. 🌺 x
Aaaah bless you - thank you so much 🥰. It's funny isn't it, but maybe our families are right - and actually when I put on say a Freya dress, I feel much happier! but I feel like I've given it a go 😂
Thank you ❤️
@@DevonThreadTales Exactly that’s it, you have to give it a go and get outside of your comfort zone occasionally. I’m sure I will wear mine, especially as I used some nice Cloud 9 fabric. Yours looked lovely on you and I’m sure you will get to wear it in the spring. 🌺 x
What a gifted daughters you have 👍👍👍 so funny,i was just thinking about your Indigo dress and my thoughts were the same as yours, that you might have to shorten it a tad and you would be more reluctant to wear it, cause it looks very summery with sneakers ❤👍I myself wilk start to sew up a Hollyburn skirt, hope it will sew up without any misshaps ☺have a really lovely weekend
😊 thank you. Oooohhh my daughter is doing a Hollyburn skirt too - and I'm very tempted to do one too. Hope yours all goes well.
Thank you so much!! ❤️❤️❤️
The green dress looks lovely and flatters you. If you want flowy it looks lovely. The Indigo I started off not liking at all, changed my mind when I saw some on line, bought it and should have stuck with my first instinct. I really dislike it!! It looks ok on you, but don't think it really flatters. The green one is more youthful. Live all the knitting.
It's funny isn't it - I really think that it's a bit of a marmite dress! you either love it or don't there isn't really an in-between!!!
I have to say the green one is definitely my favourite!
Thank you so much!! ❤️❤️❤️
What a talented family...loved all the makes!!
Aaahhh thank you - that's so kind of you 🥰
The green dress suits you very well but you have to feel right for it to be right if that makes sense. Very talented girls you have
You're absolutely right - you have to feel right and once too, otherwise it will affect you all day!
Thank you - that's so kind of you 🥰
I have the same pattern as your green dress and also the fabric. It looks lovely on you and very elegant. I was planning to make a indigo top but having seen your dress I think I might do the dress instead. With being such a bold pattern I think the indigo would be a bit too much for that fabric
Yeessss go for it - I have now worn it a few times, and I am really loving it - the fabric is perfect for the pattern. Thank you 🥰
With dresses like the stripe dress that have a heavy skirt that pulls down the top it’s a big help to add clear elastic in the seam on the skirt to the bodice.
That's a great tip - thank you so much 🥰
Hello Angela. Thank you for another lovely video it is so good to see you. The knitted garments that Amy has knitted are just beautiful, I do enjoy knitting the only problem is that I am a "tight knitter" so everything that I make ends up small.... The top you knitted is just gorgeous too. I love the New Look dress you have made, I do have that pattern and I have wanted to make it for a while now. I am in the process of losing weight through a medical supervised diet, I have Type 1 diabetes and I am insulin dependent, the problem with insulin is that you gain A LOT of weight, but I have lost 10 kilos and I will be losing a lot more too (fingers crossed). Recently I have completed the Alcott dress by Cashmerette in a rayon jersey from Spotlight (Australia) and am about to start on the Cashmerette Lenox shirt dress, the other items I have made have been for my partner ("The Italian Boy") as he really needed some new t-shirts. Take care darling girl and happy sewing, I am still learning the coverstitch machine, how are you going with yours?
Thank you so much!! ❤️❤️❤️. Thank you - Amy really has down an amazing job this month - bless her!
Goodness - that must be really difficult, I really hope that to all goes well, and that you lose the weight that you want too - but more importantly you stay healthy with the care of your diabetes support and medication.
Sounds like you have made some lovely things, and have some lovely things planned too 🥰
My goodness - the overstitch machine still terrifies me, but I am using it more and more. At the moment I still have only used it to hem items!
Thank you so much again - take care 🥰
Your green dress is so pretty! You look lovely.❣️
Thank you so much 🥰That's so kind of you 🥰
Lovely makes!
Thank you 😊❤️
Hi Angela, great video as always. I think you look lovely in the green dress. I love to see young people sewing and knitting, well done girls.
Thank you so much!! ❤️❤️❤️. It's great isn't it - I'm so pleased that they're all taking an interest 😊
Hi I really enjoy your channel. I'm watching you from NSW in Australia. 🦘🐨 Your indigo dress is lovely! ❤👗I have the indigo pattern and I am looking forward to making one soon.
Oh my goodness hello from all the way over here!!! That's so fab 🥰
Hope you enjoy making your indigo ❤️
Thank you so much!! ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for the code - used it today with their IWD sale for two cardigan kits :)
Ooooh that's so fab, thank you, and I hope you enjoy your kit 😘❤️
Love the green dress, its stunning. Your daughter's knitting is fantastic.
Thank you so much! 😊 That's so kind of you 🥰
Oooh the green dress suits you so much more than the Tilly dress as it looks more fitted and classy
Thank you so much!! ❤️❤️❤️. I agree too 🥰
You and Amy have done a wonderful job with your knitting this past month, makes me feel inadequate that I've only got a cowl, three valentine hearts and a hat knitted so far this month! lol I absolutely love your green dress, the colour the style everything is perfect for your shape and style! You could easily cut it shorter and make it in a voile or cotton lawn for summer. Your pencil skirt is very attractive, you can really dress it any way you want!
Thank you so much - that's so kind of you 😊
My goodness that sounds like you've done loads this month!!! 😂
Thank you - I am now much happier with the green dress, and have worn it a few times, and it feels lovely .
Thank you so much!! ❤️❤️❤️
Lovely makes, the dresses suit you. Re the stripey dress,I think if you sew clear elastic on the waist of the skirt before you sew it together, it won't drag down with the weight
Thank you so much!! ❤️❤️❤️ That's so kind of you.
Great tip too - thank you so much 🥰
Love the green dress....I made it out of embroidered denim last year....its a lovely shape dress. I love your knitted top.....agree its too short....perhaps you can ask Amy as she is so talented to extend the length of the ribbed section......it would look great and you would feel far more comfortable wearing it. I am going to go check it out now. And Amys green cardigan.....oh to have that talent!!!
Wonderful! I bet that looked amazing! Great idea about trying to extend the top - I may just do that!
Ha ha - yes she really is talented, I can't quite get over what she is able to create!
Thank you so much!! ❤️❤️❤️
I love your january makes. Bravo on the lemon t ..it’s so pretty, I’ve never tried that knitting stitch.
Thank you! 😊 That's so kind of you 🥰
The first pattern is cute, you might like it more if you bring down the neckline a bit, and either make it sleeveless or just shorter sleeves. It is just the sort of dress to wear on a weekend, that you could run out to lunch or to grab groceries.
Thank you so much Carole 🥰
Yes it's defo a comfy dress - and perfect for warm lazy weekends ❤️
I love that green dress that’s cool that you got to trade it was somebody… New subscriber here!
Thank you so much for subscribing 😊. I was so pleased that I could switch! Thank you ❤️
You are all so talented!! Amy is a fantastic knitter and well done you on your attempt. Love the green dress btw. Thanks for sharing🥰
Thank you so much!! ❤️❤️❤️ That's so kind of you 🥰
Well I still love your indigo but then I’m a fan, I’ve just made one and I pinched your idea for the waist ties. My OH preferred it with them and it certainly makes it less tent like. Your green dress is gorgeous and looks so classy. Amy’s jumper is so beautiful, she’s so clever and seemed more confident in front of the camera this time. Your girls are all very talented. ❤️
Aaaah thank you. I do feel a bit guilty about saying I'm not sure about it!
I definitely think the waist ties help the situation totally!
Thank you so much!! ❤️❤️❤️
Wow! What a talented and imaginative family! Beautiful knitware and sewing. I love the viscose blue dress - I think it looks nice without the ties, too! But I understand your desire for a more form-fitting outfit. I believe, also, that the ties on that dress are absolutely in the right place. I think when you say 'natural' waist you are actually a little low. One more thing, as you were doing your sew along, when you tried on the blue dress before it was finished - I loved the cap sleeve look on you. I think you should make another one for summer without sleeves. You really did look wonderful in all your makes! Thank you for sharing.
Aaah bless you - thank you so much, that's so kind of you ❤️
Aaaah yes - I like it with the caped sleeve too - I may try that in the future.
You really are so kind - thank you so much 🥰
Have you tried wearing your tilly and the buttons dress with a belt or something to break up the print maybe. I think shortening it might help too. I thought I might suggest wearing a black long sleeve top under the jumper top you knitted to get more wear out of it. I know you said you wanted to make a longer one but can't you pull it back and just add to the length? I hope I may have been some help. Please stay well. Love you videos.
I may try that - someone else has also mentioned it, I think that's s great idea.
That really is great - all such fab idea's - thank you so much.
Thank you for being so kind 🥰
I will not say only hi...🤭 This is a beautiful video! Congratulations!! Love the combination mother and daughter! And welcome to the knitters' s world!!! And about Amy , it was so nice to hear from you!!! Best wishes, Rachel from Greece
Thank you so much!! Aaaahhh that's so kind of you - and hello back 👏🏼. I'm so glad that you have enjoyed the video and seeing the girls makes too 🥰
I shall pass on your message to Amy.
Thank you so much ❤️
another lovely video, and great to see your daughter is still knitting. thanks also for introducing me to claire who makes things, she is lovely too x
You are so welcome! Claire is just so lovely isn't she!?
Thank you so much!! ❤️❤️❤️
The green New Look dress is perfect for you. I actually have that pattern but haven't made it yet. It was going to be for a Christmas 2019 party but due to an injury didn't end up making it. I still don't like the Indigo dress, it's just too baggy. It looks like a maternity dress. Sorry. What did your husband and daughters think of it? All the knitting projects are amazing. Happy Sewing
Aaaah no, I hope that you're ok. And I hope you do get to make it eventually too
Ha ha - well funny you should say maternity - that word did get used 😂😂😂
Thank you so much 🥰
Your daughter is so clever 😊
Thank you 😊
Fab knits ladies 🤩🤩. I’m with you on the Indigo dress . I’m tempted to give it a go but not sure about the shape. I love the New Look dress it suits you.
Thank you so much!! ❤️❤️❤️ That's so kind of you 🥰
If you have any wool left for your lemon tee knit I would knit a rib cuff for the armholes as that will make it look more of a cap sleeve. Also if you have a nice piece of lace you can add it to the bottom and that will give you the length you wanted xx also you should check out roseryapparell’s you tube Chanel as she does a lot of indigo style dresses but she slightly tailors the bodice and I think you would prefer that adjustment for this style of dress xx
Oooooh that would be great - I'm not sure I have enough, but I may be able to order more.
Thank you for the tip on the roseryapparell's YT I shall check her out. Thank you 🥰
Lovely makes Angela! The green dress is stunning. Maybe put the microphone a bit closer to Amy as she has a little voice. Her knitting is outstanding. I’ve been making another indigo with 1.5 metres I had in my stash to see if I like the short version better and short sleeves. I loved the embroidery details on the knitwear and jumpsuit. You all look as if you had so much fun. Thank you 🙏
Bless her - yes Amy is a little shy. Ooooh that's so great, I hope you like your indigo ❤️
Aaaah thank you - I loved the embroidery too - it was great!
Thank you 🥰
Instablaster.
I feel like I could be having this conversation with you! I really want to be able to wear a swishy flowy dress but it is totally out of my comfort zone and I think that I look weird because it isn't fitted! I think the Indigo looks much better with the tie and I also agree that shorter always seems more flattering! The green dress is more my kind of thing too-it looks fab and sure that if you did it in a plain fabric esp a black, it would look v chic and not like a curtain even with long sleeves!! Would be a lovely Xmas party dress (if that ever happens again!) Thanks for putting up this video -I love your style!! X
Ha ha - clearly like minded 😂. That's exactly how I feel about them!
I have to say the green dress is slowly becoming a bit of a favourite. I've worn it a few times now, and it feels so lovely to wear! Yes I agree a plain fabric for this dress would look lovely too 😊
Thank you so much!! ❤️❤️❤️ That's so kind of you 🥰
Love that skirt! Your girls are so creative. Those sweaters and that cute embroidery! Currently working on a white linen Pinnacle Top from Papercut patterns.🥰
Ooooh that sounds lovely - I hope it all goes well.
Thank you so much - that's so kind of you 🥰
I love that green dress on you. Love that fabric. Is it still available anywhere ? Also love the square neck tee. The girls are just doing brilliant stuff. Xxx
Thank you so much!! ❤️❤️❤️ That's so kind. I did see it a little while ago on Sewisfactions site - it might be worth trying there. It's a viscose twill.
Hope you manage to source some.
Thank you 🥰
Great video as always. I have similar measurements to you and am also a bit on the fence when it comes to the Indigo. I think if you have a decent bust then maybe a lower neckline on it would be more flattering and have this on my list to try. The Wanted t-shirt you were wearing is very flattering and looks amazing on you. Can I ask what size you made up and whether you used a viscose or cotton jersey? Thank you, Jan
Thank you so much - really glad you enjoyed it. Oooooh that's a great idea about the neckline - I may Give that a try too.
I made the size 44 in the wanted tee. I think that this is the right size for me, but this fabric didn't have a massive amount of stretch in it, so I think in a cotton jersey it would fit even better. This was a Ponte.
Hope that helps
Thank you so much!! ❤️❤️❤️
Just love you and your lovely girls, you must be so proud of them all. I think you will really appreciate your 'Indigo' dress in the summer when it is hot (hopefully) you will feel really cool - pardon the pun there :)
The green - gorgeous fabric by the way - dress I love and you definitely suit the style although I'm not so sure of the length and think maybe it would look more flattering knee length? Just a thought and sincerely don't mean to offend. Loved the 'Horrible Histories' dress up. Just hope there were no passers by saw you all floating around - but then we are in lockdown so anything goes hehe. Amy's knitting is just amazing - so talented.
Thank you so much - that's so kind of you 😊
I think you are right - the indigo will come into it's own in the summer for sure.
Bless you - no offence taken at all - I love hearing suggestions, and exploring different idea's - so no, please let me have your thoughts 🥰. I may shorten it, I have worn it a few times, and feel a bit happier with it, so on the fence for a mo!
Honesty the Horrible Histories day was hilarious! We must have looked totally nuts!
Thank you so much!! ❤️❤️❤️
I love everything your daughter knitted! She's excellent!!! Your top is adorable. I'm not a fan of loose dresses either. I like your high waisted jeans. Shorts would be great. I agree the dark green dress is more flattering to you, but the ties you put on the other dress make it more fitted and it looks good.
Thank you so much! That's so kind of you - I will pass this on to Amy 🥰
Yes I agree - I prefer the more fitted look - and the green dress style
Thank you so much!! ❤️❤️❤️
I feel a bit like that about my loose fitting dress adventures ( I kind of like them but maybe I just need to get used to the style) We all have new lockdown measurements, it’s perfectly normal 😘 you are all very talented in your family 😊😊😊
And the new look dress is lovely (it also happens to be one of my favourite patterns 😀)
Ha ha - I love that - lockdown measurements!!! So true!
Thank you so much!! ❤️❤️❤️ That's so kind of you 🥰
Thank you 😊
Loved the dress up day it sounds hilarious. Really liked the pencil skirt never thought about trying it in a Ponte it looked so elegant
He he he 😂 it was so funny! Thank you - yes definitely give it a go, It's so comfy too! Thank you 🥰
Such a talented daughter you have ❤️ I’ve followed her on Instagram . I hope you are all keeping well 🥰xx
Thank you so much!! ❤️❤️❤️. We are all good thank you - hope you are too 🥰
Hi Angela,
Lovely to see you again😀 I understand what you mean about loose fitting clothes I feel the same, I think you get used to wearing fitted garments:)
Love the cardigan Amy knitted, looks lovely, and the one she knitted for her sister 🥰
The dress you made for Amy looks looks nice with her thick tights and boots💕
The jumper you made looks really nice, I can’t see any flaws 😀
Take care.
KimX
Thank you so much!! ❤️❤️❤️
I think you're right - you do just get used to wearing a particular style, and then anything else feels strange!
Thank you so much - Amy's knitting is just so fab!
You really are very kind - thank you so much 🥰
Such lovely makes...I really do like the Indigo on you lol...you'll wear it loads in the summer im sure! I love the green dress, it's a very flattered shape and I think you made the right decision with the sleeves. Amy's knitting as usual is gorgeous. I liked the top she was wearing too. I really like the square neck top on you, it goes so well with your pencil skirt.. a great outfit that one xx
Aaaah thank you so much Karen. I probably will wear the indigo a lot in the summer 😂
I know isn't her knitting amazing!!! Honestly it's so neat!
Thank you so much 🥰
