Hi I just found you, and I Love You!! Your so bright and funnie, you made my day. I love all your top suggestions!! Go and buy you some MORE FABRICS!! You deserve it. Your projects are beautifully made!! I am subscribing ❤
Thank you so much!! That’s so so kind of you!
He he he - I will buy the fabrics - lol!
Thanks so much for subscribing ❤️
Thank you so much for getting involved Angela. Some fab inspo. PS. Life is too short to not buy the fabric 😉
You’re welcome - ha ha yes I agree 😂🙈 xx
I love your Frida blouse and love the fabric. ❤
Thank you! 😊
I think the idea of sewing non clothing is great, love the blouse ideas I've been making a few blouses lately and really enjoying them, I don't have a fabric stash anymore I find it too overwhelming, I get the inspiration, find the pattern or draft it myself and them enjoy the fabric buying process voila xx
I think this is such a great position to be in - I would love to be in that position - and hopefully I will whittle down my stash over time.
Thank you Julia 🥰
Oh, you've inspired me to make a new apron now....maybe in matching fabric with my ironing board cover and maybe even an oven glove too lol.
I love your Frida blouse Angela, the fabric is beautiful. Such lovely ideas for the sew April blouse challenge too. Your bag is gorgeous and such a lovely colour. 😊
Aahh that’s great. Yea I could have a whole collection of mini items that match 😄
Thank you 🥰
WOW, what a wonderful video with great ideas! Thanks!
Glad you liked it - Thank you 🥰
I love all your plans and I hope you get to make some of them. Reminder: DON'T BUY ANY MORE FABRIC!!😂
🥰🥰🥰Thank you 🥰
what a nice chat! Girl, you’ve got some energy and enthusiasm going! ❤
Thank you so much!! I love that ❤️🥰❤️🥰
Wilder blouse is gorgeous 😮❤
Aahh thank you 🥰
Love your green print blouse ❤❤❤
Thank you ☺️
Omg Angela you honestly make me smile , I bet you needed a breather after making this vlog lol. DO NOT BUY ANY FABRIC. 😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂 he he - I did! lol
Thank you 🥰
I have just made a toile for the Friday blouse and bought the Art Gallery fabric that you've made yours from and will be getting involved in the Sew Apil Blouse challenge. I didn't know about Andrea's sew along, but I will check it out before making the next version, thank you for pointing me toward that.
Aaaah you're welcome - yes worth a watch.
I hope you love it - it's such a nice blouse - and I do love that fabric!!!
Thank you 🥰
Thanks Angela. Maybe a bit of new fabric will help with your sewjo? You don’t have to go mad. xx
That’s true - thank you 🥰
Loving your bag Angela and can’t wait to see it finished. Now I’m not enabling you, but you could make your apron and ironing board cover in the same fabric? 😂 Definitely don’t force yourself to sew, but sewing a pattern that you’ve made before and like would be a sensible option. 👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻 x
He he - thank you ☺️ that’s a great idea.
Thank you 🥰
Ooh. So many lovely suggestions here. I absolutely love your Frieda blouse. It's gorgeous! I have made several Friedas myself, and I always use Andreas sewalong. It is really helpful. Have fun with your makes!
It's such a great sew-a-long isn't! I really would like to make myself another one!
Thank you 🥰
Great video Angela, thanks for sharing. 💙🧶🌈🍓
Thank you 🥰
What a lot of very inspiring blouses you've mentioned! There were a lot that I felt I could make - except the Marnie! Too fussy for me, even without the frills and ruffles 🤣 I lost my sewjo a few months ago and it's horrible isn't it? I managed to finish a t-shirt last month, and have started a Gilbert top this month, but every time I hit a tricky bit (right now it's the collar) I stall. Good luck to you as you slowly return to sewing x
Oh bless you - I totally feel your struggles!!! I hope that you get through it - we will get there!!!
Thank you 🥰
The kitcheny fabric sounds perfect for an apron, go for it! If you don’t have a pattern to hand I’ve used the free tessuti cross back apron and would highly recommend 😊. I hope your sewjo comes back soon
Thanks for the pattern idea. I shall look it up thank you so much 🥰
Hi Angela, I‘d like to express my love for you and your channel 🥰 I‘m not on RUclips as much as I used to because life just keeps getting in my way but every time I come back and watch a video of yours or two I fall back in love! You are definitely the kind of person I would love to be friends with and I‘m kind of sad I didn’t get the chance to meet you at the stitch festival 😄 anyways I‘m very grateful for your channel and I‘m sure the sewjo will come back. Maybe a wee fabric purchase may also help 😇 I appreciate your stash busting plans (I do have them aswell) but sometimes I think we need something new to boost the sewjo. Have a wonderful weekend!! Xx
Aaah Kathi - what a wonderful message to receive - thank you so so much.
Aaah hope we manage to meet at another show.
Thank you 🥰
About the Apron, purlsoho have a free apron patter whidh is slightly elevated and a more detailed make but no fitting issues.
Brilliant - Thank you 🥰
When my sewjo disappears, it soon comes back when I try to shop ready-to-wear and find something the style of which I like but not the colour, or the fabric! Or even vice versa. Or the fit is not good. All good reasons to sew. Love the vlog.
Love that! I do this too - Thank you 🥰
The fabrics you've used for the marnie and the top you're wearing are really beautiful!
That’s really kind of you - Thank you 🥰
Thank you that was great and lots of ideas
So glad you enjoyed it - Thank you 🥰
Wow fab collection of ideas there. I have made the tilda blouse and I love it and the pussybow blouse which i must dig out as haven’t worn in a while! I am about to start making the crescent tote from noodle head. I find a bag or a little project is good to change things up a bit and re ignite the sew Jo!
Aahh that’s great - I do fancy sewing a bag - I think that’s a fab idea.
Thank you 🥰
Oooo….apron with black and kitchen utensils sounds cute and practical. I’d love to see it!
Thank you 🥰
Lost: one sewjo 😢
I’m sorry, but lovely to hear your plans!
Marnie Marmite! You’re so right. But literally over the last 2 days I think I’m being lured to the dark side 😂😂
Gorgeous blouse ideas too. Wow that backless one is spectacular!!!
Xxx
Ha ha - I know I’m searching for it! lol!!
Thanks so much lovely lady 🥰
Ha ha - yes come to the dark side - I think you would really suit a Marnie xx
Hi Angela so glad I stumbled across your channel and its light and fun.....you mentioned fench pattern which I'm going to check out and thought I'd mention a trench pattern designer I follow and made alot of her stuff, different and stunning les lubies cadia, she does the pattern in English and the sew along I just translate button on RUclips. The blouse I'm about to do is Lysiane supper cute❤ look forward to next vid
Thankyou 😊!! Oh I'll check her out!
What about using the black fabric for the apron and ironing board cover and making the sleeveless blouse from your stash or treat yourself to something special to make it with - it wouldn’t take much fabric and it is totally different from all your other blouses, albeit that they’re all beautiful. An exciting challenge (your face lit up here and you said it is your style) and a compromise on fabric expenditure ❤. Have fun and no pressure if it’s all too much 🤩 xx
I live this a that’s a great idea. Thank you so much 😊
So many fantastic options! The most beautiful Marnie Blouse I've seen was by Sally from Secret Life of a Seamstress. I was not into that pattern AT ALL, but Sally made it in a really delicate fabric with all of the tucks and none of the ruffles and I have been dreaming of making it ever since. The Tilda is also on my list, and there's another beautiful one I came across recently by Cousette called the Espellette. It has some gorgeous pleaty-tucky details in the neckline, and can also be a dress. (I've bought fabric for both!) Incidentally, I am currently in the process of organising and cataloguing the stash I've been collecting for 20+ years and I hate to say it, but it's actually making me seriously consider not buying anymore fabric. 😅 Good luck coaxing your sew-jo back! I hope it doesn't stay away too long. 💙
Aaaah yes - Sally's is stunning isn't it!
It's hard not to get caught up with buying the latest fabric that's popular etc isn't it!
Thank you so much 🥰
Good luck with your plans ❤ hope u feel better
Thank you 🥰
The grey pattern blouse with tie and red pattern blouse BOTH are gorgeous!
Aahh thank you so much 🥰
I love your ideas for the blouse challenge. I am going to search through my pattern stash and try to get at least a couple made up, one for sure is the Paddington top. It's pretty and a quick sew. I decided to put myself on a fabric ban for 2024. I need to use the fabrics I have! So far I've made a quilted jacket, 6 tshirts, 4 turtleneck tops, 4 little girl dresses, one with matching leggings and tshirt. I've already pulled at least 5 pieces for blouses. I am also determined to lose a few some weight, but more importantly, start exercising to be in better shape, and healthier. I do like your Marnie blouse but I still don't think it's for me. But the details are so striking.
Aaahh sounds like you have a great plan - and really well done on your fabric ban - it’s so hard to do - but you can do it 💪🏼
Thank you 🥰
Maybe some new fabric will be just the inspiration you need.
Maybe - thank you 🥰
I love that blouse you're wearing.Your plans sound great!😊
Thank you 🥰
Sometimes you need some new fabric or patterns to get excited to start. If it will bring you joy go for it! Also the ironing board will be seen all the time so it’s worth a fabric you love. SOI pussy bow blouse has an add on pack now too! I like the Marnie but I love the Atelier Jupe Emma.
Oohh I’m not sure I’ve heard of the Emma - I’m going o check it out.
Thank you so much 🥰
Loved your video 🥰
Ive just made a toile of the Tilda blouse, to check the fit over the shoulders, which appear to be the smallest part of my body 🤦🏼♀️.
There is a couple of sew a longs for it and it is possible to follow the French sew a long 👍
Aaahh how lovely. - I’m quite fancying the Tilda blouse.
Thank you 🥰
I really like your video today, love all your Blouses xx
Thank you 🥰
My sewing hasn’t been great at the moment
But I have been doing a bit of hand sewing, have made a pressing ham and sleeve, on a large pin cushion at the moment
Aahh they sound like lovely projects.
Thank you 🥰
I'm so glad you are sewing something since everything you make is beautiful and you inspire me
Thank you so much 🥰
Lovely vlog Angela and I think your sewjo is back or on the way back as you’ve sewed quite a bit of the hoodie! Love all your blouse patterns. The pussy bow one is beautiful on you as was the Avid Seamstress blouse. Your enthusiasm is so infectious you’ve made me want to sew and my mojo has been gone a while! An apron is a great idea as it doesn’t really have to fit, well not much, so I hope you enjoy it. Thanks for vlogging even though you might not feel like doing so💕
Aahh thank you so much that’s so kind of you.
Yes I think the apron is up next - I’m looking forward to making it ☺️
Thank you 🥰
Ohhh, love all the blouses!! I'm trying to decide what blouse to sew next. Hmmm 🤔 I really enjoy your chats and thanks for the great suggestions 😊
Thank you so much, really glad you enjoyed it 🥰
I prefer to buy iron board cover because of the thermal fabric they are made of. Often they cost less than making one.
Fair enough - just fancy having a giant one ☺️
You are a ray of sunshine, Angela 😊 I love the blouse suggestions, thanks. I'm sewing up a Marnie as we speak, with all the ruffles but not such pouffy sleeves x
Thank you so much Tania - ooohh I can’t wait to see it ❤️
Thank you 🥰
Loved your chatty video Angela 😊 While it might be tempting to buy new fabric for an ironing board cover, remember that after a while it'll probably get scorch marks or other wear and tear - hope that puts you off buying new! 😄 You've given us some great inspiration for making blouses, and it reminded me that I recently bought the True Bias Roscoe pattern which I really want to make so maybe April will be a good time to make it. Thanks for brightening up a dark, rainy evening for half an hour!
Aahh this is so true!!! Thanks for that 🤭
Thank you 🥰
Lovely blouse ideas, Angela. Looking forward to seeing your hoodie too. I have just finished my Factotum bag - most complicated thing I have ever sewn. I am not ashamed to say, I am very proud of it! Inspired by you and Helen, I got Lauren's tip video - it saved me! Always love your videos, you are so relatable... hope your sewjo returns for you soon 😊.
You should not be ashamed - you should definitely celebrate your proud makes.
I don't think that Helen and I could have done the bag without Laurens video 🙈
Thank you 🥰
Loved this video Angela, you are so honest in sharing how you are feeling and what you are experiencing - it's so helpful 🥰 Love your Frida blouse and the fabric xxx
Thank you 🥰
Ah I won’t buy any more fabric if you don’t… 🫣 believe me I need help!! 😂. Love love the wilder blouse, I really need to make one. I also have to try the Marmite Marnie at some point as I have a feeling I will love it too ❤
😂😂😂 he he he - we are all as bad as each other aren't we 🙈
Aaaahh I can't believe you haven't made the Marnie! I can really see it suiting you - go for it!
Thank you 🥰
WOW what a lot of blouse ideas, love it and hope it’s inspired you too. I really like the maison fauve blouses, I love to see a bit of detail and of course the tilda blouse without too many frills. Nothing better than slipping a blouse on in spring/summer. I better get cracking now ❤
Thank you so much! You’re absolutely right - I think I need to get cracking too 🤭🤣
Thank you 🥰
Some great blouse ideas thank you
You’re welcome 😊 Thank you 🥰
I spoke too soon…’the blouse’ equally nice! Winners all…Come back sew-Jo…..
😂😂 Aahh Thank you 🥰
Fabulous blouse ideas!! I love your frida and Marnie and the fabrics are beautiful. BUY THE FABRIC 😈 he he!! If you haven’t got any fabric that inspires you for your projects, get new. Now my wilder gown is actually one I’m thinking of getting rid of as I want to make it in a ditsy floral print fabric instead as I’m not keen on the large spot fabric I used! Xx
Thank you lovely lady 🥰❤️
Oh isn’t that funny - but we all have to re evaluate our items sometimes don’t we!
I think a ditsy floral in the wilder would be great in you
Thank you 🥰
Gorgeous blouses Angela, especially the one you were wearing. A fantastic colour on you. I made the Tilda blouse for sewfrugal24. Not worn it yet until the weather gets a bit warmer but keen to try your other suggestions. I love your bag and look forward to your ironing cover sew along. Mine could do with a change. 😊
I’m really keen to try the tilda too - I hope you enjoy wearing yours.
Thank you 🥰
Looking forward to the ironing board cover tutorial and where do you buy the wadding stuff and proper name for it please.
Thank you - all recorded - I will upload soon with all of those details 🥰
Great vlog as always you are soooo entertaining you do make me smile thank you for your inspiration and making my evening ❤❤
Thank you so much 🥰
I really like your blouses. The pussy bow blouse is really pretty, but it does look a bit work wear. I didn't hear about Sew Frugal until two weeks into March. I thought the April blouse thing sounds just right and I have a couple of blouse patterns picked out. I too, am trying to avoid buying fabric. How is your foot, when I the same condition I thought I would loose my mind because it was so hard to exercise or walk around the grocery store. Best wishes and happy sewing! I can't wait to download the sweet blouse from Maison Fauve.
Thank you so much for asking. It’s been nearly 12 months now - and I think I am coming through the other side - and I am so pleased. It’s not totally ok, but so much more bearable.
Thank you 🥰
Does Maison Fauv have English tutorials? All I see are the French ones
I watch them using google auto translate. It’s not perfect but good enough.
Unfortunately not - but their patterns have English instructions 😊
Why beat yourself up about buying fabric, especially if you have lost your sewjo. The amount you’d need for an ironing board cover would be small and not worth cutting into a bigger piece in your stash for. Get something you really like and enjoy making the ironing board cover.
Thank you 🥰
Make your apron reversible and it will have 2 nice sides in case one side gets stained.
That’s such a fab idea - thank you 🥰
Shop your fabric stash pretend it’s a shop ! Bet you’ll be surprised what fabrics you have got already.
So true ☺️ thank you 🥰

Thank you 🥰
