Great vid!! Love all the free patterns you show cased! YES!! Most definitely make that jumpsuit out of that fabric!! And I do think you will wear it a ton!! Very nice choice!! I cannot participate-having wrist surgery next week, but look forward to seeing all the "makes" and hearing all about it!! :+) Thank you!!
I'm so happy to hear that you're thinking of trying the jumpsuit, setting aside the issues of having a bit of weight on, or worries that something new and different won't suit you. Several of the vloggers I watch have mentioned such concerns, and while I know we don't see everything all of you do and try, what I'm continually inspired by is how lovely you all look in your makes and how good you are at choosing how to dress and style yourselves. I know, often, it's difficult to see beyond our critiques of ourselves, but I think trying new things and doing what we can to put some of those concerns aside is a way to see ourselves differently, hopefully in a more gentle, accepting light. That you feel drawn to that jumpsuit is perhaps a sign that it will suit you, and I hope if you make it, that you feel wonderful in it. That fabric is gorgeous, and you'll look fabulous in it. And, it's okay to make things that feel a little indulgent from time to time. If you feel good in it, perhaps you'll find more opportunities to wear it than you might think.
Yes girl just go for it, the fabric is beautiful and you can carry off such flamboyance, I think the jumpsuit would be amazing in that fabric it's so unusual. The previous comment says it all. ❤️🏴
I think the Luna jumpsuit in that fabric is a HELL YES!!!! Throw a slouchy black cardi over it for work (maybe a t-shirt underneath too) or throw a sparkly shawl and some great jewelry on for a night out.
Yes, you should definitely use that fabric for the jumpsuit. It would be perfect to wear on a date night. I'm the same...zero plain fabrics in my stash for myself lol x
In the spirit of "If you build it, they will come" I say that if you make it, the place to wear it will come. It's gorgeous fabric, the pattern is fantastic and you will look stunning in it, even if you just wear it to go to the shops!
Love all these ideas! I think you should go for it and make the jumpsuit! While it may look a bit more dressy, I think it would look super cool with sandals or sneakers and a denim jacket. Excited to see what you decide!
And Ruan will look gorgeous in it and wear it at weddings, to parties, on holidays, for date nights etc etc… Seriously girl, you know from Insta that you don’t have to be skinny to look great in a jumpsuit. Yes your body has changed a little but it’s still beautiful. Let it have nice things!
That jumpsuit will look stunning on you. And everyday is an occasion to wear it! Of course I am taking part in sewfrugal24. If it weren't for Frugal Frocks back in 2021, I would not have picked up sewing again. So thank you for that!!
I don’t know if anyone else feels the same but I would still enjoy the challenge and take part even without prizes and a planned vlogger tour. Those things are great but if it means that the challenge tails off because you and Sam struggle with the workload then I for one would happily forego that part, I’m sure plenty of vloggers would still share their plans and patterns 🥰
I spent a couple of hours today going through the patterns on mood fabrics and fabric store. There are a couple of patterns that I am considering, but I need the time and this month is super busy work wise. I have b been working evenings and weekends. Not good for someone who is supposed to be semi retired.
@@theyorkshiresewgirl I decided to go for something that I would not normally go anywhere near, way, way out of my comfort zone. Hopefully, I will find time to make it.
I think the sewfrugal is my favourite challenge. For many of us, we have some lovely fabrics in our stash, and there they sit! This makes us think about those fabrics, and get us motivated to use them. Good fabrics are like good dishes, what's the point of just having them! Use them, enjoy them, show them off! I LOVE your jumpsuit idea, both fabric and pattern. I think it would look more casual with a little tshirt underneath. I'd love to make it, but I don't think I have the correct fabric in my stash. Now that vest! I had a vision of some fabric in the stash that would be perfect. I think I will be downloading that pattern today! Thanks for hosting and all the inspiration.
Yay, definitely make the jumpsuit in that lush fabric! Thanks for the pattern pics too and for all your hard work organising the challenge. Wasn’t gonna take part but I think all the fab bloggers have convinced me ❤
I really appreciate the thoughtful free patterns that are not only size inclusive but not the norm styles. Thanks for stash busting ideas. Great video. Happy sewing.
I was on pins and needles waiting for you to show the fabric. And it did not disappoint! Do it, it will be sooooo beautiful. Can't wait til the reveal day.
I HAVE to see your jumpsuit made up in that gorgeous fabric ❤ I am in, not sure what I will make. I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL SO MUCH, YOU BRING ME SO MUCH JOY. ❤
Oh Ruan that fabric for the jumpsuit is absolutely beautiful. I can't wait to see it. I like your pattern choices and love that they are no more than 1.5 yards.
I was trepidatious because I'm so used to finding lists of low yardage projects that are possible because they're only for small sizes. So I was so absolutely delighted by this video and thank you so much for rounding up size-inclusive patterns. Just amazing, very happy.
I'm looking forward to seeing this jumpsuit! It's going to be a work of art! Imagine where you'd like to wear it and get tickets, or reservations, and go. You deserve it.
I love the idea of the jumpsuit in that fabric! It will be great for a wedding and a night out with the hubby! I really hope you “indulge” yourself because you’re worth it! Thanks for the challenge Ruan and Sam! 💜💚🖤
The Luna jumpsuit will look amazing in that fabric! You’ll be surprised on how easy it is to wear. I love mine so much and I’m pretty sure you’ll love it as well 🤗
Thank you for all the Sew Frugal inspiration and great to hear about some different free patterns, especially for 1.5 m of fabric. I got super excited to hear about the Sue skirt as I love that pattern and immediately went on the website to download it! I have so many smaller pieces of linens and I think this would be perfect. The jumpsuit will be fabulous in that fabric 😍
I don't have the time or mindset for sewing right now since I'm doing palliative care for my senior cat. She was recently diagnosed with lymphoma so most of my energy is focused on her. Thank you for your lovely pattern suggestions, I'm sure I'll take a closer look at them when I'm able.💜
That fabric was stunning! Yes! Definitely use it. I’m a bit of a fossil now, my stash is overflowing with fabrics that I wanted to save for something special. Well, you know what? Something special never comes. 80% of them would look ridiculous on me now. So i missed that bus for no reason. If i’d made a simple garment out of that stunning fabric, i would have worn it to death. Instead, now i call it my ‘cupboard of regrets’ and all that stunning fabric just makes me sad now. Moral of the story? Use your stunning fabric. There’s always more stunning fabric down the road.
Great free patterns! My son constantly says to me just go for it👍🏻as you have all this fabric. I don’t take enough risks and constantly question whether something will suit me. Hope your jumpsuit is everything you want it to be🥰
Great ideas and inspiration and hopefully I can find some time to join in with the challenge. That fabric in the jumpsuit will be absolutely fabulous and definitely your style and you'll get loads of wear out of it I'm sure. Can't wait to see it made up. x
Thank you for a great blog. Lots of nice free patterns and I will definitely be looking into a few that you have mentioned. The jumpsuit you are planning on making with the fabric will look stunning. I think it will suit you. Can't wait to see it!
I just downloaded the Wanderflower blouse Ruan. I think I've sewn enough now to attempt a Mood pattern. It's super cute and I have leftover fabric from subscribing to the Think Pink box. Thanks so much for these ideas and for all your hard work putting together the SewFrugal challenge with Sam. xx Karen
Perfect choice
😊
Great vid!! Love all the free patterns you show cased!
YES!! Most definitely make that jumpsuit out of that fabric!! And I do think you will wear it a ton!! Very nice choice!!
I cannot participate-having wrist surgery next week, but look forward to seeing all the "makes" and hearing all about it!! :+)
Thank you!!
Ooh hope your surgery goes well next week and it doesn't take too long to get back to sewing ❤
Ohh I’m going to do the waistcoat. Yay 🎉
Yay!
Who else read the thumbnail as 15 meters or less 😳🤦♀️😂
Same 😂

Yep. Same 😂😂

Beautiful fabric for the jumpsuit. Wear it where ever you want or just at home to feel posh.
Yes! Thank you!

That is so amazing to hear ❤️
SCARY! I KNEW you were going to lift that fabric up for the jumpsuit Ruan! 🤣 That’s going to look stunning with the cowl neckline 😍
😂😂😂😂😂 🔮
Beautiful jumpsuit, go girl!
Thank you!!
I don’t know if anyone else feels the same but I would still enjoy the challenge and take part even without prizes and a planned vlogger tour. Those things are great but if it means that the challenge tails off because you and Sam struggle with the workload then I for one would happily forego that part, I’m sure plenty of vloggers would still share their plans and patterns 🥰
That’s very lovely of you to say 🥰
Ruan, just do it. The jumpsuit will look Beautiful in the fabric you've chosen. And it will look marvelous on you.❤
Thank you! 🤞🏼
I have that fabric too from 1st for Fabrics and have been too scared to cut in
Would love to see it in that jumpsuit!!! Yay!!! X
I can totally see you in that fabric!
@@theyorkshiresewgirl lol I know it is so me!!! I just need to actually make something with it that isn't another Kielo Wrap! Lololo
I spent a couple of hours today going through the patterns on mood fabrics and fabric store.
There are a couple of patterns that I am considering, but I need the time and this month is super busy work wise. I have b been working evenings and weekends. Not good for someone who is supposed to be semi retired.
Oh no! Maybe just a cheeky quick make then!
@@theyorkshiresewgirl I decided to go for something that I would not normally go anywhere near, way, way out of my comfort zone. Hopefully, I will find time to make it.
So many fab ones! The vest is almost hard to believe that it is a free pattern! I will be downloading that one
It’s amazing isn’t it!
I think the sewfrugal is my favourite challenge. For many of us, we have some lovely fabrics in our stash, and there they sit!

Go for it! It’s not going to be worn in your stash! The jump suit will look gorgeous! Thank you for sharing your ideas too
Yes you’re right. It needs to be worn!
Yes to the fabric and jumpsuit - a perfect match and perfect for a summer wedding, even if it's a little chilly and has to be paired with a shrug.
Yes 👍🏼
Beautiful fabric and perfect pattern for it. Even if you only wear it around the house
I think so too!
I was on pins and needles waiting for you to show the fabric. And it did not disappoint! Do it, it will be sooooo beautiful. Can't wait til the reveal day.

That fabric will be amazing as the Luna jumpsuit! Look forward to seeing it! 🙂
Aww thanks Cath xx
I think the jumpsuit in that fabric would look very luxurious and with gold accessories your wedding ready 🤌🏻

As soon as I saw the waistcoat pattern I paused you and went and got the pattern 😁…..then I came right back and saw the rest i promise 😉😀

That fabric looks fabulous with your hair. A jumpsuit would be stunning.
Thank you so much 😊
I think that jumpsuit fabric is fabulous and if wearing to a wedding a black sheer fabric shawl would finish it perfectly.💜💜
