Great video! Danke for all the info about these sites!

[@mysewperpower]

My pleasure!

I remember your vlog from last year Elisa. Thank you for participating again. Don't speak German but it's fun learning some new words and the Bernina website caught my eye. Not sewing children's patterns at the moment but love listening to your beautiful calming voice.

[@mysewperpower]

Aw, thank you! Or better yet: Danke schön! 😊

[@TriBeccaDesigns]

Thanks for sharing information about this challenge. Sounds like a great stash buster😃

[@mysewperpower]

Glad you liked it 👍 I haven't tried color blocking yet, but now I want to give it a try.

[@jennifermaddock4382]

Oh my gosh, what a huge treasure trove that Bernina site is! So many fabulous free patterns. Thanks sew much for the excellent video.

[@mysewperpower]

It really is! Tons of good pattern for kids, adults and accessories.

👏

[@gstra9577]

As european I am so so so thankful for this video! It's life-changing ❤❤❤

[@mysewperpower]

You're so welcome! I hope you sew something special that makes you smile.

[@nancyhilborn885]

Lovely options that I would not think to search for without your guidance

[@mysewperpower]

Always happy to help increase the collection 😉

[@Frugalisama]

Thanks so much Elisa for helping people to navigate the non-English speaking websites, it opens up so many more free patterns & you found some real gems there, the Leo shirt & the jacket are really lovely. Thanks for joining the challenge again 🤗

[@mysewperpower]

My pleasure, Sam. Happy to help!

[@SewSewLive]

As a fun aside, searching for your channel now has RUclips suggesting super power videos to me! Haha! Thanks for sharing.

[@mysewperpower]

🤣 I know. I always have to see suggestions for music videos before my channel shows up. Maybe that changes if I get a couple more subscribers 🤔

[@ElaineR66]

Thank you so much for showing some really good sites that I’ve never been on before! I will enjoy looking through for some patterns for my granddaughter and myself. You did make me laugh when you told us about your son changing his mind about Gruffalo costume……I remember my own mother spending hours making me a clown costume for a fancy dress party when I was around 10 years old. It had several layers of frill to go round the neck and really was a lovely make. Unfortunately on the day of the party I was sick so couldn’t attend!! So glad to hear your son did wear his costume, even if you had to bribe him!! 😂.
By the way, I’m 65 years old and still have my clown 🤡 costume ❤. I’m looking forward to maybe sometime persuading my granddaughter to wear it!?!? We shall see. 😊

[@mysewperpower]

I'm so glad you enjoyed my video! I hope your granddaughter gets to wear the clown costume. Just keep casually mentioning how cool clowns are 😉

[@janetwilliams7705]

Thank you! Great pattern choices, and that costume is adorable.

[@mysewperpower]

Thank you! It was tricky to get the Gruffalo face right, but it was worth it. I love it too. 😊

[@jacquelinerobert3648]

Thanks Elisa. This year video is as good as last year. Will definitely try and use the Bernina patterns. Thank you for all your hard work for this very clear information.

[@mysewperpower]

I'm glad you enjoyed it, Jacqueline. Thanks for the support!

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

What a fab job you’ve done at showing some really different patterns. So good to make it accessible to everyone. Thank you for taking part 😊

[@mysewperpower]

You’re welcome 😊 Happy to be part of the frugal-team again! As soon as I was done with the video, I thought to myself: Am I going to call next year's video "even more free patterns..."? 😂

[@ronaanderson1404]

Great video Elisa and very helpful. I love that Gruffalo costume! 🙂

[@mysewperpower]

Thank you so much! I'm glad you found it helpful.

[@cathyswope5174]

Excellent info, thanks so much! Lots of patterns I have not seen before.

[@mysewperpower]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@nataliestanchevski4628]

Thank you for showing how to navigate the German websites! There are so many free patterns that you have made available to people who don't speak German, that's awesome!

[@mysewperpower]

You are so welcome! Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@ClothbytheClyde]

So lovely find you Elisa! Thank you for a fab video. Kids are contrary, aren’t they?! The gruffalo dungarees are adorable nonetheless ❤️ I absolutely love listening to your voice too xx

[@mysewperpower]

Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed the video 😘
