Dresses look fab! Have you thought about swapping out the big black buttons on your houndstooth dress for big red ones instead so they’d really stand out and pop but still have that sixties vibe?
Ooooh that's a good idea! I'm gonna order some!
@@thecamdenstitch That was my thought too, and you can match your tights to the buttons or go for another contrast even!
Stitched Up! You read my mind! I was thinking that exact thing. X
Stitched Up! I’ve just made the exact same suggestion then scrolled down to read the comments and seen yours 🙄
Snap, I thought exactly the same thing!
Hi Jay!! Sorry to hear about Ian’s loss, hope he’s doing well now.. All your dresses look fabulous.. Love your sketches also.... 💜💜🧵🧵
Love all your makes and I think the black buttons are fab ..... sometimes you sew ... sometimes you buy fabric and patterns .... sometimes you do research on projects.... sometimes you dream about sewing but guess what it’s all sewing 🧵
Love that pinny dress Jay! I'm a bright blue fan 💙💙💙 as you were showing it i thought the pockets looked low, it'll be cosy and comfy when you're finished with the fit adjustments!
I have always been scared of 'fashion' and consequently lagged several steps behind. At last, I have the confidence to make only garments I believe will make me feel good - and yes, I will unpick repeatedly until I'm happy. That last push through negative feelings is worth the fab feeling at the end.
I'm so glad about your positive feelings following your hypnotherapy. You deserve it!
🌸 Such cute dresses and I love the houndstooth. Loving the 60s vibes - very mod! 🌸
Good to see you Jay, sorry for Ian’s loss. It’s awful to have to deal with loss of a family member. Your pinafore is lovely but can see why you want to make changes. Your sketch book is beautiful so go girl you will do well at college. ❤️❤️
We did have a very nice coffee and very nice chat ☕️☕️ ! Kings Cross is a great venue and I was pleased to discover the Everyman cafe with you. The black/white sweater dress looked great .... I love the other two and that cute pinafore. I definitely think it's worth getting a garment to fit properly if you want to do multiples . So much more satisfying 👌
The fashion course sounds perfect for you .... Best of luck with that day 💚
Dee sooooo much to say about the fashion interview but it will have to be off the record!
Love the vintage patterns you sew ❤️
Hi Jay! In regards to tweaking a pattern and then moving on to the next tweak project, enjoying the process instead of the product can be quite rewarding. So much is learned along the way and can be applied to each new project, ie, skill building. If a pattern really inspires you to make duplicates, that’s great, but a one and done is valuable too. Sincerest condolences to you both on
the passing of your loved one.
That’s a very good point Cynthia, you’re right. And thanks for your well wishes xxx
Great vlog Jay I love hearing about your ideas and plans. I think your pinafores are fab and will look even better if you do the adjustments. Take care and look forward to your next vlog ❤️❤️
Thanks Vally :-) Hope you’re having a great weekend xxx
Yupp, totally would make all the adjustments. I am probably making it harder on myself when I do that, but I so want to love my makes, not just accept them. My obsession is shoulder/sleeve and trying to find the perfect sleeve head to sleeve scyth that lets me make woven blouses that do not feel restricting on my broad and wide shoulders.
I am also trying to do the make it perfect then make many versions. But I often do not have the fabric ready. Then when it sits for awhile, I may have forgotten all the fixes or why I changed the pattern. SO I am trying to make better notes this year,
Jay where have you been? I miss you so very much. You are such a joy to watch and I find you're video's to be so very entertaining. I really learn a lot from you. Please let all of us that are concerned about you know when we might be seeing you're beautiful face and that absolutely lovely voice . Lot's of love from a viewer, and God Bless!
Love love love your pinafore. If you want to make a few I think it would be worth your time to alter it for perfection. I love your drawings, you must do the course I think you will be amazing! XX😘😊
Hi Jay just a shout out to you to let you know I really miss seeing you're beautiful smiling face and you're makes videos. Prayers that you're doing well take care keep sewing and keep us posted on how you are. Bless you.
Love your makes! Sorry you've had a crappy time. Fingers crossed for your assessment...you'll rock it!! 💞💖💞
Aw thanks Kathie! xxx
I have been in a bit of a slump lately myself. I have had problems with fitting myself, it seems like everything that I make is either too small, or massively too big. I just can’t win,I am looking around for classes on pattern drafting thinking I might could get a better fit that way. The result of this is I am taking a break from garments and making home dec stuff, baby bibs, blankets and other non garment things. Maybe I can learn to fit myself soon. So glad to hear your therapy is going well, I think that is key to success, you have to at least not hate it.
Yes feel like that allot. When I actually get to my sewing room, with my cup of tea, radio, heater, door shut so I can't hear anyone! I want to stay forever in my cosy sewing nest.
I agree that once you have finessed a pattern make it up numerous times and that way the time spent on refinement is reduced per dress. I made 19 dresses in 2019 and 11 of those were using my self drafted TNT bodice block. Love the big chunky casual dresses but unfortunately I can't wear them as I end up looking even more humongous than I am. I try to make dresses to give me a more defined shape and I need all the help I can get! Caroline R-G 😍
I love your hair style today. I loved the blue pinafore dress on you .
Thanks Maureen, I love the side plait too! xx
Jumper is cute. You will love it more if the fit is good.The hardest part for me is getting the fit correct. I would rather reuse a well fitted pattern many times
And thank you! Yeah fit all the way!
I liked this video alot! Even though there was sorrow in the family, you seemed to cope with it pretty well and were able to sew up the lounge pieces. They turned out so well and are very cute! The pinafore you made looked just like Twiggy except she wore hers straight up and down, no A line at all. I think the adjustments are a good idea and will flatter your figure well. I do adjustments all of the time. The pattern, in my opinion, is a general outline of the piece. In order for it to look good on each person, adjustments need to be made so it looks it's best on each one of us. Wishing you continued success!
Love your dress and if you intend to make more, I would definitely make your corrections with any bits that you’re not happy with. It’s great when you know something fits perfectly and you can them bang them out.
It really suits you and I totally agree with not following ‘fashion’ go with what suits you is my motto!!! xxx
Yes! xxx
Love your chatty videos 💗🇦🇺
Thank you Denise! xxx
Hi, sorry about your post Christmas problems. Ian really is a treasure, aren't we lucky when we have a caring partner. I love your videos, so interesting.If your hypnotherapy makes you feel happier then it is working. I know the feeling that when you started going to the gym you thought, I will have to make some garments! That is the first thought that I have whenever something happens in my life! I am sewing madly at the moment because I am going to Spain for a long weekend in February for a friends 60th birthday. We lived in Spain for 10 years and have many friends there so go out regularly and my thoughts are always 'what shall I take'. Not because we try to outdo each other with our cloths but because I like to look the best I can for my age and my style (not fashion). The fashion course sound fantastic, it will be great for you, your talent will shine. I look forward to hearing all about it and the ideas that you will have. I won't rabbit any longer, looking forward to the next vlog. (Yes, I am still behind in watching!)
Good luck hope it goes well Friday x
Lovely to see you Jay always interested to see what you have been making. 💕
I really enjoy these chatty videos Jay. Love the sweater dresses! Hope your assessment went well at College yesterday, Dx
Hi Jay - totally with you on fashion design vs style. Your thoughts on fashion design driving consumerism is so true. Your dresses are fab. We all suffer from sewing blocks. Think its a change in routine or just exhaustion that sets it off. Good luck. with your college interview.
Massive thanks for your support Maeve xx
Great vlog today, love hearing what you are up to. I hope you made it into college on Friday for your presentation x
Lovely to hear about what you have been doing. All the best for your assessment. The folio looks wonderful 👍👌 Love your slouchy dresses 😍 Take care,. Gabrielle x
Love the dresses. Good luck for Friday!✂️
I had to press like before I actually watched it, always excited to see a a new vlog from you!
Awww ta, I always do that too! Thanks Angela xx
Great to see you again jay. I’m loving the 3 dresses, they look like they would be so comfy. And I agree the leopard print will look fab 😊😊😊
So sorry to hear about Ian's loss. Love the dresses you have made, especially the blue one. Hope everything goes well at college Friday. You will nail it!
Hey Meletia, thanks so much! Friday was a bit weird, more info to follow...!
I think if u make something u like, its worth making adjustments and it's all learning. SOS u were 'off' after Christmas but keep going 'easy', we love you!!!!!
All the v best for Friday!! Sounds fabulous. So much in your vlog, these are my favourite type of videos. You have a lot of perseverance with the toiles and fit. I’m less patient and feel frustrated when I do a wearable toile and don’t make the “real” one, the wearable toile is it. I have quite a few like this. The wearable toile are not bad but not that great either -just so so. I like how you make multiples, each special with style. I like making a few of each pattern but like the deliberate-ness of your approach. Yeah those adjustments to the pattern you aquired will rock it I reckon. I admire your investment in the gym, you talked about it in an earlier blog, I will get my act together this year too. There I said it. He he go girl.
Haha! I love hearing about your approach too, to both life and sewing. Get your bum to the gym, we can motivate each other! Thanks for your lovely comments xxx
Lovely vlog. Lots of interesting touches.
Thank you Heather! Glad you enjoyed xx
Hello 👋, great vlog, your vlogs are much more personal, which is GREAT!! You’ve opened up more and become more humble and it’s a great beginning of healing, others (like me) can pray for you, and send you well wishes!! We care about you or we wouldn’t be following your vlog!! So thank you, your sewing is amazing, you describe your process beautifully and I look forward to seeing you regularly, (no pressure there!) 🤦🏻♀️ your 5 ideas of fixes for the blue dress are spot on, 1 question... the reason the back has a “fin” is it because your back is narrow and the fabric “fins” out? It really nice looking now, but after your adjustments it’ll be perfect!! And I’m so happy to hear about you going to design classes!! Another way for you to exercise your design “energy”!! This will be SO good for you!! Thanks again for sharing a part of your life with me ❤️😍🙋🏻♀️😆
Hey Gina, so nice to hear from you, and thanks for your kind compliments about my growth as a vlogger. TBH vlogging is something I have found hard, I don’t have a problem putting myself out there but I’ve found it hard to speak eloquently, so many pauses and stumbles. The more natural I am, the easier I find it to speak to the camera, so it’s nice to know that this is coming through to you the viewer. Lots of love xxx
Good luck with your assessment, I think those 2 dresses are great choices to show your creative flair.
Thanks for the chat, friend. I'm definitely "team good enough", I'll try to improve on the next one but I won't keep revisiting. And your hypnotherapy sounds lovely, glad you've found something positive. Sarah
Love your video. So glad your back on. I think that houndstooth tunic would be fabulous with pink or red big buttons! Looking forward to your makes!
Yesss! Someone else suggested that too, and I’ve already ordered them! Thanks Robin xx
I'm also not sewing much these days. It's been a few weeks actually. For me, it all got a bit overwhelming because i'm a newbie and my old machine was acting up and 3 projects in a row ended up not fitting great on me. And i realized that pretty much every pattern will need some adjustments. Which i'm okay with because that's why I sew! But because i don't know how to do them it just feels like a mountain sometimes. Adding the stress of family at the holidays and i ended up putting my machine to the side on the table. She's staring at me every day :D Sew-jo is not lost here either and i'm feeling more inspired after having found some great second hand bedding i can use as fabric.
Oh Nikoline, I have totally been there! Please stick with it, take a systematic approach to learn your individual fitting issues. I will do a vlog on this soon but in the meantime I recommend the Palmer/Pletsch Complete Guide to Fitting as a great start. xxx
@@thecamdenstitch Thanks Jay, I will check out the fitting guide. It's good advice taking a systematic approach to it. I wont give up - i have way too many ideas and wardrobe wishes to let that happen :D Lots of love!
The cobalt blue vintage dress is divine, you’ve got the skills so I’d defo make the adjustments if you want multiple. And those Burda oversized jumpers 👌🏼. Melissa
Glad you like Melissa! xxx
Hi
Thank you for your update. Yes, I do feel like you, not quite getting from the sitting room (Where I cut out and press) to the sewing bedroom, but so enjoy watching the blogs that all you lovely bloggers put on utube for me to see. I certainly get inspiration from you, and think of you as my online friends. I get disappointed when my makes seem to take so long, but at the end of the day I always end up with my own unique garment and there won't be another like it in the world x
So true Heather. I hope you have a lovely sewing week xxx
Love the dresses. Can't wait to see you in them.
Thank you! xxx
Hi Jay, I’ve been wondering how you got on when Ian went to Scotland. So glad it’s behind you now.
, and you are settling back in routine. Good to see you. ❤️
Thanks for thinking of me Gillian. It was a couple of tricky patches while he was away, but now he’s back and we are both looking forward to starting the year “properly” and getting back into our routine xx
Sometimes when I sewed a big or complex garment I need a break. It's to clear and de-tense my sewing brain. I find it quite normal for me. I like the pinafore very much!
i just love your channel! You are so cool!
Loving all your makes. Particularly love the pinafore 💕
Thanks, so cute isn’t it. I’m potty for pinnies!
Morning Jay, your Christmas Day looked great - sorry to hear about Ian's bereavement. The hypnotherapy sounds like it is really your thing - good to hear you are enjoying it. Love the dresses I always enjoy houndstooth. I made that pinafore first time round - as a teenager those jiffy patterns were great you could make something in the day and wear it out at night - you have a great figure for the 60s and 70s dresses. Good luck with the College assessment I really hope it works out for you.
Oooh I love that you made the pinafore way back when! I’m so glad they suit me coz I do love them so! xxx
Hope it goes well for Friday good luck x
Hi Jay x Thanks for sharing 💖 hope Friday went well. I'm definitely struggling to get my sew jo going but I think that's just January - always feels like a month hangover from Christmas 🤦♀️
With spring on the way it will be back with avengance. Can I recommend Sew sew easy for workout leggings, sports bra and vest top they are all free pdfs plus tutorials from their website/RUclips. I made them last year with a few tweeks here and there 👍
Big hugs to you and Mr Iain 😉 xx
Hey Karen, a month long hangover sounds like hell on earth!!! Although in my drinking days I had a permanent hangover I think! Thanks for the recommendation for Sew Sew Easy, I’m going to look them up now xxx
Lovely to see you Jay.....and the very best of luck with your college interview. Let us know how it all goes .
Hey Barb, thanks I will!
love the recent makes
Speaking of vein, yesterday, I had a pin go into my vein on my hand. It swelled the vein up, big lump and bruised. I was wondering if anyone has ever had this happen. It’s very painful, still. I’m very jelly of the Burda Magazine. I’m in Souther California and not sure where to buy it. I am loving those pinafores, they are always my favorite.
Ouch, that sounds nasty Monica, hope it’s gone down! Re Burda, you can get it in the states, but it’s super expensive.
The Camden Stitch OMG! I got really lucky. I was at Joanne waiting in line and the magazine rack had a Dec 2019 Burda magazine. It was only 11 bucks. Can u believe it. I’m dying to find February 2020, issue, though. I saw a review of it already and I have got to get my hands on it. Of course, I have no idea how to use the magazine yet. I’ll figure it out.
😃 my favourite legging pattern I've ever found is the patterns for pirates peg leg pattern with all the amazing add ons... I've only sewed one pair so far because I can't seem to get power mesh cheap enough here lol... but they are amazing... good luck on the college and your portfolio is wonderful... I've had a horrible week but it always cheers me up to watch your wonderfulness 😝
Aww thanks Anessa, I’m sorry you’ve had a pants week. I haven’t tried any P4P patterns, but I love them on other people, I’ll check out the leggings xxx
"... a much more pleasant waste of money." 😹😹😹
Great vlog Jay! Love the oversized sweatshirts 😍😍❤️ I also had a slow start post Christmas- all the sewing before meant I think i od’d on sewing and needed a bit of a break 😁Have you seen the Activewear book by Johanna at The Last Stitch on RUclips ? She also has some really good activewear sew alongs! Looking forward to The Burrrrda review. Good luck with your college assessment - you will smash it ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hey Lynne! I love Johanna, I nearly bought her book but it doesn’t have any patterns so I went with the other one, I’m def gonna check out her sewalongs though!
Love your dresses, how would red buttons suit the oversize houndstooth check? I’m no fashionista but I’m pretty sure you could rock that look. Edited to add sincere condolences to Mr Iain, such a difficult time for both of you. xx
Great idea on the buttons, suggested by loads of people so they’re on order! Thanks for your well wishes for Mr I xxx
I could write masses in response to this, agreed with everything you said. Instead I'm going to keep to a thank you for making me feel better about 2 muslins I've just made. It seemed that 3 cm drop for a bust dart was me doing something wrong. And I need to make the neck narrower without losing width at the bust. No shoulder adjustment necessary as I'm tall. And I'm making a similar pinafore, although mine is more of a tunic. Phew, relief, bless you.
Also I want to make garments that fit well, rather than go for quantity, especially as the fabric that I'm using at the moment is a wool length that my mum gave me over 30 years ago and she died in 2008. If you are going to show how you make adjustments, I'll be glued. I don't need to see you sewing, much more interested in seeing your construction techniques. xx
Ah, glad I could help you feel not so alone with it Ann, especially for this special piece of fabric. The more I sew, the more I realise that fitting is a separate but necessary art to learn alongside your construction techniques - if you want anything that’s wearable, that is! I have filmed some footage of adjustments so I’ll try and edit it together - I’m in no way an expert thought. My favourite resource for well-explained adjustments is the Curvy Sewing Collective blog. Good luck! xxx
@@thecamdenstitch Thank you. I love the clothes you make.
I'm struggling the same at the moment Jay. If I do any sewing it's only for ten minutes.
Ten minutes is a lot better than nothing! Keep the faith xxx
Good luck! Take the chevron dress to show.
Heh - I've been facing exactly the same issue of creating a pattern, sewing once (or half-finished) then onto the next design/fitting challenge. Rarely anything to actually wear. Having realised what I was doing I'm focusing on a perfect fit and then small variations on the same pattern.
I have a denim waistcoat that looks exactly like the top part of red dress on your Jiffy pattern! Very close fitting; I'm hoping to clone it.
Therapy: I can recommend NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming, daft name) - it deals directly with the unconscious mind rather than dredging. I trained in it, though I don't take clients. Use it on myself all the time!
Sewjo: for me it's usually either a fear of messing up or an inadequate vision of imminent fabulousness. (Sometimes it's just too much brain inflammation.) I work on both simultaneously, look for the fun/reward.
I'd love to see more on your design ideas - your style is wild, love it, would love to see how you get/execute the ideas. I'm a Kibbe Soft Classic so can't carry it off, but this sort of input really helps.
Hey, hello and thanks for your comments! I am familiar with NLP, I did a little through my old job but never had it on me, I will read more about it. And I had to look up “Kibbe Soft Classic”; every day’s a school day!
I find drafting difficult. I tried drafting a simple apron and I cut out 4 versions before I felt I got it right. I've tried to draft other simple items and find maybe I overthink it? Well it's never come easy and I often give up and hack existing patterns to make what I want.
oooh, that blue pinafore is awesome! I really like the button detail. Yes, I would make the adjustments, especially if I wanted to make several garments from the same pattern. Though I wouldn't make so many adjustments to a first make, I feel best in a good fit so why not make improvements when making it again?
I too want to make a few nice fitting tops then make a hundred different versions of them. I don't think I've ever made a pattern twice and I want to take out all more effort and add more joy my sewing. Last couple of years sewing for myself (because of trying to fit myself, by myself) hasn't been so fun and I've routinely lost my sewjo. I need another tactic.
I like your distinction between fashion and style.
Answering your ? - I make adjustments until it fits me or the wearer. On the pockets - just move them up. I really like the blue jumper and it looks like you did a great job. When a knit is labeled 'techno' - what kind is it? Thanks
Hey Lavada, as far as I know, technical or performance fabrics are designed for a specific purpose, so perhaps they have wicking properties for activewear, hold heat for thermal wear, or are lightweight/waterproof fabric for an anorak.
@@thecamdenstitch Thanks for taking the time to answer and for the info!
Great video as always. I'm in a bit of a slow period over my sewing because I don't have any fabric I'm excited about at the moment. I have plans to make a high necked blouse aka Ava Green on Penny Dreadful. I love the sweatshirt dresses, they're so cute. I think you'll knock it out of the park at your college interview. BTW, do you mind telling me what editing software you use? Thanks! Catch you on the flip side.
OMG Rochelle, that style of blouse is super amazing, I love it. I use iMovie on my MacBook Air, but it’s struggling to edit vids (not enough processing power ) so I have been looking for a new laptop this weekend xx
Just watched to the end, how did you get on on Friday at Fashion school interview? You’d rock, so creative, unique and individual with a great eye for detail
Thanks Melissa,Friday went OK but it’s a bit of a long story so I mention it in an upcoming vlog xxx
Did you find out what was wrong with your kitty??
I understand your wanting the fit perfect-I would tweak it, then make another one with those adjustments. I think you could just raise the pockets, if you chose to. Cute pattern.
Could you refresh my memory on the "Burda" pattern number(?) those are darling sweater/sweatshirt dresses you made?? I could see the buttons on the black and white print-I thought they looked great!! I like all your "makes"!! :+)
Glad you are continuing with your exercise program-so important for ones well being, overall.
Continuing your education will be a wonderful path for you to take!! Best wishes with that!
Good to see you, and thank you for sharing!!
Hi Louise! The pattern number is Burda 12/19 #103. Thanks lovely! xxx
@@thecamdenstitch Thank you!! :+)
What about switching out the black buttons for yellow? Or red?
Great suggestion, I’ve already ordered some!
🐯
❤
I very much enjoyed your little chatty video 😊 And I love your pinafore dress! You should definitely make those changes to the pattern, it would make you feel proud of yourself and it’s such a good and versatile pattern! I made myself a pinafore dress or jumperdress or whatever you call them from Newlook 6340. It’s probably more meant to be a dress but I saw the potential for a jumperdress. I made it in a red tartan check that I’ve had in my stash for a long time. If you would like to see me in it I’m on Instagram as Byjuliannie 😊 Thanks for sharing your sewing and your thoughts, you inspire me with your personal and colourful style 😘
Hi Jay, you can use a basic pattern that fits you well or your block/sloper to make pattern adjustments before first toile:
www.threadsmagazine.com/2008/11/02/the-merits-of-a-basic-fitting-pattern
I’ve only managed to start this recently but I’m finding it gives really good results. Love your channel btw!
Hi Katy, I drafted the original pinafore using my own blocks, which is why I was weirded out that the fit wasn’t quite right!
IMO You are a designer! I love almost everything you make. Ok, not the Wilder lol
NEVER SPEAK THAT NAME AGAIN IN MY PRESENCE hahaha! ;-)
You sound so upbeat! Perhaps the gym workouts are helping too.
Thanks Carla! I noticed that too, when I was editing. I think swimming, and getting out generally, is definitely helping! :-)
I do hope all went well with your interview for college, I think that it would be a great idea for you to do this course, please let us know how the interview went. I am in the same camp as you when it comes to fashion and style as you are too. If you are after some great active wear patterns may I suggest Greenstyle Creations. Now, I know you are not a big fan of indie designers BUT you will love their patterns, and I recommended them to Rachel of Stitched Up and she loves them here is their link: www.greenstylecreations.com I also hope that Betsy in feeling better too. Sending hugs from Australia....
😊♥️
