Hi Rachael. I'll miss hearing about your wonderful, happy life and seeing all that you create for a few weeks. But I hope you and your family have a very Merry Christmas with all the joy the season brings. That Christmas tree skirt certainly deserves to be worn! Post a picture of you wearing it in its full twinkly, lit up glory, please! Thank you for all your vlogs.
Happy holidays with your family. Im from Wellington New Zealand. Im a district nurse and am working Christmas week but have most of new year week off. My family are having our big get-together this Sunday. My husband and i are going out to a hotel for a fabulous Christmas dinner after i finish work. A seafood buffet available but no crayfish rolls, they sound delicious. I love your vlogs and look forward to joining you next year xxxclare ❤
Hi Clare! Sounds like you’ll have a very busy Christmas’ I hope you have some wonderful family time! I love the sounds of a seafood buffet!! Enjoy. Thank you so much for watching and I’m very glad you enjoy the vlogs! Happy Christmas!
That Christmas tree skirt is a delight. Thank you for all your vlogs Rachael. I have loved following you. I wish you and your family a very happy Christmas and am looking forward to seeing more in 2025. 🦩🦩🥰🥰
Hi Rachael. I’m not very consistent about commenting on RUclips, but when something strikes me to comment- I do. I watch your RUclips channel faithfully and commented here and there just to say Hi and thank you, but after seeing your Christmas tree skirts, I immediately grabbed my phone to comment. I’ve never seen such a delightfully fun looking skirt, so unique and inspiring! As usual, you encouraged me to get in my sewing room to sew anything for the fun! Thank you, thank you so much! You are truly a fun and wonderfully inspiring person. At the very least, wear it around the house especially while making deserts and please record it for us. Such a fun festive garment like that should not go to waste or hidden behind closed doors. Enjoy your time with your lovely family over the holidays! After you’ve rested and recovered, I look forward to new content from your channel 💕🎄🎁❄️
Oh thank you so much for that gorgeous comment! I’m so glad you enjoy the vlogs! I love making them! And I’ll wear that silly wonderful skirt with pride 😂😂 I very much appreciate you watching and commenting! Happy Christmas 🎄

Hi jennett! Thank you so much for watching, glad you enjoyed it!! Using those skiers as a base for a valentines skirt would be amazing! Pink tulle filled with hearts????? 💕 Thanks again!
Hi Rachael thank you for sharing how you made the grenadine skirt. I love all your festive makes especially the Christmas skirt I bet your little boys think it’s great fun , have a fabulous Christmas all of you over in Ireland and a happy new year xx
Happy Christmas Rachael. I really enjoyed your festive vlog (and your fairy lights skirt!) I am currently making little fabric baskets as presents which I am really enjoying - I have also had issues with interfacing!!! Then I am making a pink lurex Foz top (pattern from Itch to Stitch) as I have a social event in January and want something sparkly to wear!
Hi Kate! Hope your gift sewing is going well’ that top sounds amazing and how fun to have something to look forward to in January! Happy sewing and merry Christmas
Merry Christmas to you and your family Rachael 🎉❤ from Dunedin NZ. I do have some last minute sewing, typical of me😂. Looking forward to time with family.🎄
Oh Rachael all your makes are as always just fabulous but your Christmas Tree skirt is awesome! I can see that becoming a regular garment in many Christmases to come and I bet your boys love it!! "Our Mummy is so cool" 👦🏼👦🏼 Thanks for the mention and yes, you can certainly make Mr French Seams a 3/4 zip jumper! Have a very Merry Christmas with lots of wonderful family time. ❤. Xx
Oh thank you carole!! It’s a bit of a fun skirt isn’t it! A total indulgence! Hopefully mr French seams will get a nice jumper in 2025. I really should make him more ! He’s a saint!! Wishing you and your family a very happy Christmas xxx
Such a beautiful bride! Your sewing room is always so tidy... do you clean before filming or do you know some magic to keep it clean? LOVE the Christmas tree skirt skirt! (You're out of control, woman!) And what is water icing? The penguins are divine! Hope you and the family have a lovely Christmas! 🎅
Thank you so much! Oh good grief my sewing room is absolutely not tidy, you are facing the only tidy part. In saying that it’s a minuscule room (roughly 2.2m square) so it gets messy very quickly 😂😂 The Christmas tree skirt is so fun! Water icing is basically icing sugar and water mixed. Wishing you a very happy Christmas! Thank you for watching and commenting!!
I love the little sewing machine. Me and my swing friends had sported it too. What recipe do you use for your millionaire shortbread? Love your silly skirt!
Hi there! Yes we do! I absolutely love them, the red ones usually but you’d see the white ones the odd time. They’re gorgeous and I always get a few for the house!
Have a wonderful Christmas Rachel 🎉 I love your Christmas tree skirt ❤
