Love your Zadie! I've always been tempted to make one, but I had decided at some point that I couldn't pull off a jumpsuit, that it wouldn't suit my body type or I am too old or not cool enough or any number of things I had convinced myself of. But then I was out shopping with my adult daughter recently, looking longingly at the selection of gorgeous jumpsuits in this young hip store she dragged me into, and she and the sales girl ganged up on me until I agreed to try one on. I loved it so much I bought two! And now I definitely want to make some. The Zadie, obviously, and I'm also considering the Blanca Flight Suit by Closet Core. So funny the ideas we get in our heads and how easily they can be changed if we get brave enough to challenge them. 💙
You are so right! We do put ourselves in unnecessary boxes sometimes even when we don't intend to. I'm so glad you ditched those thoughts and bought those jumpsuits 😎 I do like the Blanca too, it's very stylish x
Oh Ruth your Zadie is absolutely fab. and really suits you. I like the fabrics your bought and particularly the dark blue patterned one and can’t wait to see what you make with it. I laughed out loud when you recounted your experience at Umami and being food drunk 😆. Another smashing video Ruth and I love your sense of humour. Have a great week 😊xx
Love your Zadie Ruth looks stunning on you I’m sure they’ll be a few more, fabric are lovely hope the shirt works out better this time for you love the pink linen 💕🤩💕
@@SeamStressedRuth aww yeah it was a lovely day, really enjoyed it. Would have loved to have been with you all on the Friday too, but had to be around for the boys and school run etc xx
I'm so glad you made the Zadie! I was watching Angela from Devon Thread Tales video earlier and saw you - I have to confess I may have squealed "she's wearing the Zadie" but it looks fabulous on you and the colour really suits you. xx
Gorgeous Zadie. The colour is delicious. I am 5ft 9 tall with a longer body so i needed to add 1 inch to the rise as i struggled getting the toile off when i went the toilet
Your Zadie is fabulous and you are glowing!! Colour suits you and your joy with your Zadie is just shining through. You are convincing me to try it ( I love the Avenir)…..not sure how it fits with my buying ban though 🤔. You were very restrained with your shopping which I totally get- I am not a rummager either but am in awe of those who are as they seem to get amazing things. So glad you had a lovely day out and a great weekend by the sound of it. Jenna shirt is lovely by the way. Happy sewing with your new fabrics. 😊 Lynne
Thank you so much Lynne 🥰 I've not tried the Avenir yet but I am definitely a jumpsuit convert now! I have been scouring the Fold Line to find others I'd like to try. The Jenna is still very high on the wish list too xx
It looks fantastic on you 😊 everyone raves about the zadie, I don’t think I’ve ever heard a bad review 😂 I forget things too literally within a few minutes of doing them! Looks like everyone had a good time on Friday
Hi, I love your Zadie jump suit, it looks great. I’ve had this pattern for a long time but have never made it. Would you mind me asking how you came to the decision of a size 12? I know you said you sized down. I hope that’s an ok question to ask ☺️ thanks Claire
Another vlog to make me smile (well laugh actually) thanks Ruth. Good choice of fabric, Zadie jumpsuit looked good too. Bit too boobie for me, think it's because I don't have any!! Enjoyed that.
Going off on a bit of a tangent here, love you in your Zadie by the way. I’m making my first Nell dress and by now I see you as the expert! I really struggle with this type of neckline attaching the facing, the shape of it means it doesn’t seem to want to lie flat🤷♀️when turning it to the inside around the shoulder. Arggg, any tips or tricks, I seem the be sewing almost the wrong shape help! ❤
Oh no, have you understitched and snipped around the curves? I find this, especially the snipping, really helps everything to lie flat when you turn it the right way around. Get a couple of snips in close to each side of the shoulder seams too. If that doesn't help let me know x
You look gorgeous in that zadie jumpsuit. Fabulous color on you! You look fun and sexy. Your husband probably forgave you for standing him up on Friday if you wore that out for lunch. :)
Gorgeous jumpsuit. You really suit the colour 😊
Thank you so much 😊

Love your Zadie Ruth, it suits you so much 😍
Thanks Claire, sorry to have missed you on Saturday. Did you have fun? xx
@@SeamStressedRuth I know, such a shame. Yes, it was such a lovely day. The only sad bit is that it goes so quickly & it was over before I knew it 🥹
Lovely Zadie Ruth. I find it a bit booby too and end up putting a pin in it if I don’t wear a top underneath it lol. Nice fabric purchases xx
That's a good idea Karen! Sorry to have missed you on Saturday, did you have a good time? xx

That's so funny, I think Adele might have done the same when I saw her 😆 I love it! Thanks so much for the excellent encouragement xx
Love your Zadie. The colour looks lovely on you 😊.
Thank you Carol 😊
Gorgeous Zadie. The colour is delicious. I am 5ft 9 tall with a longer body so i needed to add 1 inch to the rise as i struggled getting the toile off when i went the toilet
Yes that wiggle in the bathroom is not the most fun especially when you are desperate 😲

I absolutely love the Zadie jumpsuit I'll have to put it on my list xx

Thank you so much 🥰
It looks fantastic on you 😊 everyone raves about the zadie, I don’t think I’ve ever heard a bad review 😂 I forget things too literally within a few minutes of doing them! Looks like everyone had a good time on Friday
I know that feeling well 😆 Yes it was a great day, lots of fun, lots of food and lots of fabric.... perfect xx
Oh I wish I could be choosy with my fabric , I always mean to be but then I get carried away.
I know the feeling but I also know I have nowhere to keep a big stash so that helps to keep me in check 'sometimes' 😊
Love your Zadie, looks lovely. My sister lives on the Dudmaston Estate in Comer Woods, it's quite secluded and they love it there.
Oh wow, she is very lucky to have such a wonderful back garden! It's such a lovely place to walk x
Lol. I always enjoy ghat snore in the background.
Your Zadie is gorgeous. I have one cut-out but not made up yet
Oh that's so sweet, he's my constant companion 🥰 Get it made up, it's a winner! xx
