- Sewing a Vogue pattern in real time, whilst chatting to you about the most random things such as getting botox and ageing . Perfect content for your sewing session, it's as unfiltered as it's going to get!
I call this sewing pattern "day time pyjamas" because they have such a relaxed vibe about it. Elasticated waist trousers, and a long, baggy, vest.
This pattern is beginner friendly, such an easy sewing pattern for dressmaking.
Hope you enjoy this sewing vlog.

The sewing pattern I use for this sewing project is: the Vogue pattern V9375
Fabric is from Rainbow Fabrics (I think) I can't quite remember, bought it probably two years ago.
I am currently trying to get through my stash of fabric, instead of buying new fabric. So far it's going well! I am very proud of the progress I am making.
About me: I’m Alexandra and I live in Oxfordshire together with my husband and our adorable daughter. I sew and make videos about it. I love creating and I want to share my progress of spending time with my craft, whether it’s sewing or other activities. I want to give you as much encouragement for your creativity and my hope is that you’ll find a lot of positivity on this channel. Lots of love, Alexandra

Don’t look a day over 22 my love! ❤ thanks for letting me sleep
😍😍😍 thanks for letting me sleep in this morning! Xxx
1. I am very proud to say that this hair is my natural hair! 2. This is the last video in this house, from now on, new videos in the new house. 3. Thank you for being here! XXX
Your natural hair is lovely, I just love the color and it suits you well.
@@urmilaramaa3152 Thank you. I really want to change the colour - the sun has made it a weird brown I think haha. I just don't know if highlights or going darker is where it's at. x
@@AlexandraBurnett I think either way would look lovely but I'm a dark hair girl myself. If you are looking for a change maybe a chocolate brown might be cute.
I absolutely love your chatty videos. The more you do them, the better you'll get! Hope to see more summer dresses projects! ❤
Ah thank you. Yes, practice makes improvement. The weather is absolutely rubbish in the UK at the moment. Makes me feel very uninspired for sewing summer dresses. But who knows, if the sun comes out?! Maybe I will feel inspired again! Thank you for watching! 💕💕💕
@@AlexandraBurnett well, maybe "fake it till you make it". Sometimes you have to make your own weather, if you know what i mean 😉. Maybe sewing a summer dress on a rainy day will make you feel better, but I feel you... There's been a heat wave in Poland, so not particularly perfect weather for sewing either, I sweat A LOT! But I've got a pretty important deadline aka "wedding guest dress" to make 🙈
Oh how I love your energy! Never change ❤
Thank you so much! 💕💕💕
I sewed before vacation, too! I had to get my sewing fix in haha. I decided to make my daughter a longer version of a vintage Simplicity pattern (3843). It was from a linen pillowcase I thrifted and she looks so cute in it.
I adore how excited you get over your projects, definitely need to appreciate my hard work more! Love love the set, looks so chic honestly could work for any occasion
Yes appreciate your work, cause we all know that sewing is work!
Yes I feel like this set has got you covered.
Brunch with the girls☑️ work meeting ☑️ beach trip ☑️ coffee date ☑️
It’s so practical yet chic!!!
Definitely get both a dress form AND a serger!! I use mine all the time. Sergers make sewing projects quicker and neater in finishing. Draping is so much fun!!!!
Ah thank you! Yeah, I have seen lots of videos on draping and just doing what is in your head looks like so much fun!!!!
Love these pants definitely inspired to make something similar. Enjoyed the chatty video as I also enjoy the voiceover ones from you, I appreciate the calm of the themed voiceovers but also the companionship this kind of video provides. Hope you and your family enjoy the new home and best of luck with transition to a new place❤.
So comfortable! The elastic band is great! Thank you. Yes, I think each video has its own vibe. And thank you for the wishes on the new home - we're settling in, and so far it's been absolutely lovely! X
Love your hair 😍 thank you for always sharing a little bit of your days.
Thank you so much! For being here! Xxx
I got back to sewing after a break of 38 years. I bought a dress form before an Overlocker. Both are great but if forced to give up one it would be the dress form. The Overlocker is a game changer as there are so many things you can do not just finish seams. Happy Holiday and good luck with your move.
I feel like that exactly what everyone has said!!! The sewing community has spoken!
Thank you for watching! 💕💕💕
I love your distinction between rushed and last-minute!
Yes, right?!!! Two v different things.
I agree with the other commenter. Don’t waste your money on a dress form. I only use mine to true hems; because I mainly work with flat patterns. I use my serger every time I sew!
Interesting! Thank you for letting me know! Maybe I need to research the power of a serger!
I love your sense of humor 😅 and your passion for sewing. Greetings from Herzegovina
Thank you so much for your kind words! Sending love! X
That is a great pattern! I think it would be beauty in a heavy linen too! I support your black linen idea!!
Still trying to finish a shirt for my husband 😅
Yes, I really want to make it in black linen so bad!!!! But then again I feel like I want to make a black linen version with every pattern I try.
Well done and keep going. Eventually you’ll get there!! I felt that way with my jeans and quilt! It felt like invested a lifetime into those sewing projects, but the reward feeling is *high*!!!!
Loving your energy
Thank you! X
You are a delight!
I have many favourite words, discombobulated, kerfuffle, serendipity to name just a few.
You've inspired me to make some pants.🙂
Kerfuffle is such a good one!!!!!!! Thank you for watching! X
Fun video. I think the phrase you were looking for is “happy spouse, happy house” Meaning that both of you work to keep each other happy.
Ah I love this phrase so much!!! I truly believe that!!! 💕💕💕
Just found your Channel and I LOVE IT! ❤ you are so talented, wise and bubbly. Best wishes from Germany
Ah thank you so much Anki!!! XX Welcome to this channel! x
😀😉 I love your energy, I laughed a lot watching this, so thank you. Like your daytime pajamas too 😉👍
Ah thank you so much for watching! I giggled too - I filmed this weeks before editing, so when I was editing it was like I was hearing myself again for the first time hahah!
Sending lots of love xxx
I have switched from using pins to clips for the majority my sewing. It really has sped up that part of the process. So I can spend quality time on the sewing.
Yes, I need to do that. I have done it in the past, but the pins were nearby so did that, but yes clips are the future!!!
Another amazing video love it 😍 about the manequin I saw an amazing ones from Royal Dress Form, unfortunatly they don't have stores in Europe 😔 I really need one aswell, but step by step 🙏
The set turns out perfect ! Love it!!
Thank you so much for watching! Yes, that’s the one I would absolutely love!!! yes, I love you perspective “step by step”!
Lovely to see you again Alexandra! !
Love the outfit you made, looks really good on you. Your energy and excitement is soo contagious thank you for sharing this video.
Look forward to seeing your new space. Xxx
Thank you so much Sharon for choosing to hang out!!!! 💕💕💕 Sending lots of love!!!
Im 52. GET THE BOTOX! The sooner you start, the sooner the muscle will not permanently overuse in that area. I also rec you start a low dose tretinoin cream. I started very late in life, like this year, lol. If you never ever go in the sun then dont worry about it. Alex, the best sewing advice I can give you ( ive been at it for 35 yrs ) is invest in a serger. I got mine on Amazon, for $200 ( Juki Mo-50e) and it is a game changer. Have a lovely holiday!! Im editing this comment bc i posted it before you talk about not getting a serger, girl, ya gotta get one. I have a dress form, never use it but use the serger every time I sew :)
I love this comment so much! If ever go for it I will let you know. I don’t go in the sun much and if I do, I use protection! I have used retinol but it really irritates my skin, no matter how slowly I took it ( I have v dry skin) so I wonder how my skin would react to tretinoin (I have heard good things about it so good you’re on it)
How long before you have to top up Botox? That’s the main thing isn’t it? You have to keep it up!
It seems like the comment section is really keen on their serger which only means good things!!!
Xxx
@@AlexandraBurnett I get Botox twice a year. I have very dry skin as well, it doesn't age the best. Keep up with the sunscreen and maybe a good vitamin c serum. I regret not starting it all sooner. :)
Loved this video! Your outfit turned out beautiful and looks so good on you!
Thank you so much! 💕💕💕
This set is sooo pretty great job!!!
Ah thank you so much!!!!
I have both a dress form and a serger. I would never want to be without the serger but I could live without my dress form. Just a thought.
Ah interesting thought. Besides overlock the raw edges like a boss, what else does a serger do that a normal sewing machine doesn't? Would love to know what you use it for! Thank you so much! XXX
@@AlexandraBurnettit’s does a rolled hem, blind hem, and can sew stretch fabric like a dream
It definitely opens up a whole world of sewing with knits. I realize space constraints may be an issue for you but if you can find the room, sergers are relatively cheap (especially used) and speed up your sewing so much. Some people are put off by the cost of threads, but I’ve found you can sew quite a lot with a medium grey color. I would definitely get a 4-thread model but wouldn’t bother with those that can do a cover stitch. Changing back and forth is cumbersome. Those of us who have been sewing for some time have certainly collected a few gadgets, but my serger is one I value a lot.
Love all your videos❤
Ah thank you so much! 💕💕💕
Turned out great ❤
Thank you! 💕💕💕
Thanks for the super fun video ❤
Thank you for being here!!!!
very cute 💞
Thank you!!!
Love my serger and I'm not much more than an advanced beginner. My garments are finished to a better quality and it's quicker. I simply got mine 2nd hand off Ebay so it was about £100.
Thank you for sharing!!! I am always nervous to buy second hand (got burned with a car once, so that experience made me feel like I can’t trust anyone) but maybe I should see what I can find!!!! Xxx
I bought an ex-demo overlocker from my local sewing machine shop. It serves me well.
I made my dress form by padding a smaller size manikin I bought cheaply from Amazon.
Your videos always make me smile.🌷
Gorgeous❤❤that something I'd like to make. I have a wide legged pattern (free Harlow pajamas by charmed patterns) and I could totally eyeball a jacket but would do mine a bit longer fir the look I'd like. Yours is such a vibe💃💃
Yes, I reckon it’s such an easy one to self-draft!!!! All the best!!! 💕💕💕
Super costumașul! îmi dai și mie idei și chef de cusut. nu știu de ce, dar am rămas cu gândul la musculiță în timp ce te urmăream și zâmbeam la asemănarea dintre voi două :))) două personaje voioase și vesele. Aștept cu sufletul la gură fiecare material pe care l uploadezi! te îmbrățișez!
Te pup! Ce comment frumos de primit Duminica seara! Musculita a venit din nou a trebuit sa o alerg de doua ori! Haha! 🤪🤪🤪
@@AlexandraBurnett ce ar fi viața fără muște și tânțari :)))? O Duminică continuă :)))) mult spor să ai în continuare!
@@AlexandraBurnettmulțumesc :D tu ai emoții când lucrezi la proiectele croitorești și canalul tău de youtube, dar să știi că și noi cei care vrem să ți transmitem din aprecierea noastră suntem cuprinși de emoții și nu știm cum să scriem mai bine și mai clar (nu se compară una cu alta, dar sper că înțelegi ce vreau să spun) mulțumesc că ți iei din timpul tău să răspunzi la comentarii.
You dont need a serger but it makes sewing so much easier. My dress form just sits in the corner hardly used 😊
I feel like everyone has said this. It’s making me re-consider my thinking. X
What a fun chatting! Is sewing for your daughter on video in the future?
👏👏👏

I think that Katy Perry song is about the menopause
