I never normally comment, but I absolutely loved this. I loved the way you looked at the shop bought dress inside and out and how you gain your inspiration. You have certainly inspired me to look at high street fashion in a different way. Thank you
Beautiful dresses. I really enjoyed this video, please do more of these! You are very talented and creative. Always looking forward to your next video.👗🧵🪡🥰
That broderie version came out so well! The effort you put into using the different sections of the fabric to their best potential wasn’t wasted, even if it did do your brain in! Absolutely beautiful 🤩
This was an absolutely brilliant “vlog” style clip. I really enjoyed the whole process of inspiration to creation to finished garment. I’d love to see more of this style clip. By the by, the fabrics used were great, especially the planning and execution of the broderie anglaise patterning. It was perfect.
I would love to see more videos like this. So much work has gone into those patterns and sewing the dresses, but the garments are beautiful. Well done.
I thoroughly enjoyed the slightly changed format. Both dresses are beautiful. I also enjoy using one pattern to give a variety of different looks. Your inspiration is infectious! 💕
I love the fact that you have shown your inspiration for your make and then the patterning work you did to achieve that. Not only have you made two fabulous dresses but you've shown how different the dress can look depending on the type of fabric used. Please do more of these videos.
That was very interesting especially see how you put together the white dress. They are both lovely on you. It was nice to see your surrounding country side I live in Queensland Australia so different. Thank you again I always look out for your videos each week.
Suzanne, You are so talented and inspiring. Love how you constructed both dresses. However, after watching your video I am feeling a little homesick for Marks and Spencer coffee and cake. I grew up in N. I. and now live in Virginia. I bought my first sewing machine in a wee sewing shop in Lisburn long before I moved to the U.S. Enjoy all your videos. Thank you!
Suzanne, both fabrics are my “cup of tea” , and dresses look very nice and comfortable. btw, much fresher, thar original ones in NEXT (sorry, dear Next). Thank you for inspiration. 🥰
I really enjoyed this video Suzanne. To watch your detailed analysis of the dresses in the shop being translated into the superb, finished dresses is absolutely inspirational. Inspirational, but the pattern making is way beyond my capabilities 😁 but a joy to watch nevertheless. Thank you for sharing.
I think this might be one of my favourite videos from you. I had to laugh because, yes, that’s exactly what I do with garments in shops, lol and have done for years. The dresses were lovely, especially the Broiderie Anglais one. White always looks cool & crisp. Look forward to the other one too. It would be great to see how you pattern that one too. Might be off to Next soon……😄
Really enjoyed this. Thank you for sharing this with us! I too never thought about looking at fashion for inspiration. I personally detest going clothes shopping, which is why I make my own clothes. You always look fabulous in your garments…they suit you. Enjoyed the walk to the Park too. Sending best wishes from Down Under 💖💖🌺🌸🇦🇺😎
Absolutely wonderful video! I’m not where you’re at in my sewing journey but I scrutinize shop fashion every time, try to figure out how it’s done but have shamelessly never actually recreated a garment. You’re an inspiration. Thanks so much
This is such a great video! You live in a beautiful area and was fun to watch….It is so cool that you can go into a clothing store and then go home and recreate what you have seen! Amazing! And your vlogging skills are well done!
I really enjoyed this video and would love to see more similar ones. I love the way you’ve taken inspiration from the NEXT dress but then elevated it with your beautiful fit and finishes. Both your dresses are lovely, but the broderie anglais version is something special. I’m quite new to sewing but want to make clothes of quality rather than versions I could buy off the rack cheaply, so this is very inspiring to me. Thank you 😊
I am new to your channel and I just love it! Especially this type video. You are an incredible seamstress!! Thank you so much for sharing your techniques. I learn so much. Your dresses turned out beautiful! Can’t wait to see the next ones!
This is a great demonstration of how to design and sew clothing that you like and know will look good on one's body. I have used purchased clothing to clone my patterns. It is a great way to understand design and fit issues that are common in ready to wear clothing. You make it look easy, but it is far from easy, at least until one has reverse engineered enough garments into patterns and then into wearable clothing to have that knowledge and skill set. I love that linen and broderie Anglais fabric that you use. It was perfect for that dress. I like finding tops and dress ideas based on my available fabrics. I am very often let down when I try to find a fabric to recreate something I love. I do have enough fabric to keep me happy for a very long time. Another thing you demonstrate here that we as sewers want to make things we love, and that we will wear. Trying to use established patterns has not worked out so well. I am very often left with a garment that will work for one occasion and likely never get worn again. Today I make my own patterns from normal stylish pieces I find on-line or in the stores. My last point is that I can also coordinate my wardrobe base and have multiple pieces that go together to create capsules or lots of options. This has really helped me ease the pressure I feel to have new and updated stylish clothing, which is time consuming and not really doable when trends are moving so fast. I make styles that will move from season to season as well. This really enhances my sewing time and energy. I love watching you create. Thanks so much.
Your dresses look so much nicer than the inspiration dress. The linen shows the details beautifully and the embroidered fabric just looks wow! The ladder details look like insertion lace, beautiful jobs, both of them.
Well done Susanna I've done this since the 80's.However , I've had a long break from sewing because of work but just getting back into it . Your designs are beautiful you've inspired me . Thankyou .
Both dresses are beautiful. Can you imagine the price tag on the eyelet dress in a store? You did such a good job coping the design of the the original!
This was a really enjoyable and helpful video and I would love to see more like this. I’m always curious to know how you get your inspiration. And how pleased you must be with the result of all your hard work. That broderie dress is stunning! Well done! 👍💕
Fantastic to see the process from inspiration to completed project, it also means that you can try the style of dress on before and then make it your own, bonus not having to put a zip in!
A truly inspirational video. Many thanks Suzanne. I really enjoyed seeing how you used your blocks to make a new style/pattern. I’d love to see more of these. Thanks again as you are really giving me the confidence to have a go!
This was a great video. I loved seeing your inspiration and then how you adapted it for your own personalized design. I found it extremely informative and inspiring for myself. Thanks
Thanks for such a great vlog, I learnt so much from this one (although I learn something from most of your vlogs), it was great to see you deconstructing the dresses in the shop. I have blocks for all parts of my body but never use them as I’ve put on weight since Covid, I must get them out & follow your suggestions (but may have to lose a few pounds first 😁). You are very inspiring yourself Suzanne and your enthusiasm is catching.
I liked both dresses but my g favourite was the linen one it was beautiful. You are very talented and have a soothing clear voice you are a joy to watch . Have you ever made trousers ? Stay safe keep vloging
I do that all the time..even if I'm sitting in a public place n some design catches my fancy... I'll break the design apart mentally... It's a thrill to get a plain square piece of fabric and give it meaningful design and beat the price it's sold for!
Nice one. Really enjoyed this. Glad to know you „borrow“ ideas too ☺️ I have been many times inspired by your works. Tell your husband he did a good job. Would you ever consider sewing mens clothes? My husband is getting a bit jealous and asking when I am going to sew something for him. Keep up the great work. Take care for now x
I do this too I usually buy it and scrutinise all details 😂😂 a lady called Peggy Sagers does this with very high end clothes too 👏👏👏where is the linen fabric from ?? love this thanks Suzanne
Thanks for this video - it was just what I was hoping to see/learn about your process! Out of curiosity, are you wearing these to work, church or out for meals, mostly? Are you interested in leisurewear/sportswear? Trousers?
Hi Thanks for this excellent video. It had everything and you did a great job. I enjoyed seeing the gardens in spring as it is Autumn here. I am wondering if it is more affordable to make your own clothes. As I have never done it although my mother was a seamstress and had her own bridal business. Your dresses are beautiful and would suit our summers. Hi from Queensland Australia 🌺🐨
Everything you do is amazing, but if i can make a suggestion is that you actually show how you make the patterns the measurement for all of the dresses. Because I'm learning to sew myself and that's the area i struggle the most
Hi love the dresses inspires me to number 2 dress waistline like very much how dropped at sides . I will look for pattern like this make for me. Love Julie from Lancashire in the UK. Xx👗👠💄👜
I never normally comment, but I absolutely loved this. I loved the way you looked at the shop bought dress inside and out and how you gain your inspiration. You have certainly inspired me to look at high street fashion in a different way. Thank you

I so do love these types of videos. It is great to see you expand your horizon. I love it when you guys on RUclips take viewers on journeys!!!
Absolutely gorgeous! It's good to know I'm not the only one who goes into stores to just look at the clothes so I can make them myself.
As usual-- Total Design, Cutting, and Sewing Perfection! Thank you so much for sharing the beautiful dresses.
This was an absolutely brilliant “vlog” style clip. I really enjoyed the whole process of inspiration to creation to finished garment. I’d love to see more of this style clip.

I’d loved your vlog. Gorgeous dress and I like both versions! Thanks. Diana
I would love to see more videos like this. So much work has gone into those patterns and sewing the dresses, but the garments are beautiful. Well done.
Great video. I love the walk!! So beautiful, the walk and the dresses 👗 and of course, you. Have a great day.
oh the white dress is stunning!
Yes please! It is nice to see the approach from start to finish. Thank you

Gorgeous dresses. Loved to see how you get your inspiration because you make such interesting and beautiful clothes. Thank you!
Beautiful dresses. Much nicer than the shop one.
They are both beautiful but I especially like the white!
Suzanne, You are so talented and inspiring. Love how you constructed both dresses. However, after watching your video I am feeling a little homesick for Marks and Spencer coffee and cake.

Absolutely lovely designs. You're a very talented and creative sewist. Love all your videos.
Loved this. Hope you will do more of this type format.
Oh I loved this vlog! I hope you create something inspired from the raspberry dress!
Really enjoyed this. Thank you for sharing this with us! I too never thought about looking at fashion for inspiration. I personally detest going clothes shopping, which is why I make my own clothes. You always look fabulous in your garments…they suit you. Enjoyed the walk to the Park too. Sending best wishes from Down Under 💖💖🌺🌸🇦🇺😎
I think your right the length of the white dress is better on you. Thanks for the video you make beautiful clothes.
Well another two fabulously constructed dresses. I think Next maybe copying your designs soon.
Absolutely wonderful video! I’m not where you’re at in my sewing journey but I scrutinize shop fashion every time, try to figure out how it’s done but have shamelessly never actually recreated a garment. You’re an inspiration. Thanks so much
How lovely you are so clever. it looks brilliant, I prefer the shorter version.👍
Now I’ve seen the beautiful linen fabric you’ve done the “toile” out of….of course you’re not going to dye it! That felled seam is divine.
This is such a great video! You live in a beautiful area and was fun to watch….It is so cool that you can go into a clothing store and then go home and recreate what you have seen! Amazing! And your vlogging skills are well done!

Loved this so much! Cannot wait for more content like this and more patterning videos!

Avevo una bambola con un vestito simile. Complimenti per la scelta del tessuto e per averci mostrato l'ispirazione del vestito 😊
You are so amazing. You make pattern manipulation so much fun....look so easy. Where did you get your basic block pattern from?
Nice one. Really enjoyed this. Glad to know you „borrow“ ideas too ☺️ I have been many times inspired by your works. Tell your husband he did a good job. Would you ever consider sewing mens clothes? My husband is getting a bit jealous and asking when I am going to sew something for him. Keep up the great work. Take care for now x
I do this too I usually buy it and scrutinise all details 😂😂 a lady called Peggy Sagers does this with very high end clothes too 👏👏👏where is the linen fabric from ?? love this thanks Suzanne
I really enjoyed this video. Do you mostly wear dresses? I am beginning to wear them more. I’ve been sewing since a child, and love it.
Thanks for this video - it was just what I was hoping to see/learn about your process! Out of curiosity, are you wearing these to work, church or out for meals, mostly? Are you interested in leisurewear/sportswear? Trousers?
