- two lovely vlogger, @The_Gemini_Stitcher and @sequingirlie are running a Busy Bees challenge for the next three months. It is loosely based on The Great British Sewing Bee for those of us who would like to have a go, but are too terrified to actually apply to go on the programme. the Gemini Stitcher and SequinGirliecreates both have really good vlogs on the challenge (no prizes by the way, just for fun) but the basic idea is as follows. During July, its the pattern challenge, and the pattern will be supplied by a fellow vlogger.....or in my case my best friend! the reveal for the pattern challenge is end of July. In August its transformation, which is really not my strong point and then in September it's time to make an outfit to wear in the Mediterranean. I contacted Christine from GeminiStitches and asked if I can join in and she said its fine, the more the merrier, so I'm joining in, even thought I'm not one of the official vloggers.
My friend has sent me New Look K6397.
You inspired me! This week I sewed 3 garments, and mended a few more. My sewing mojo is back!
Give us a tour of your sewing room sometime. I keep looking at those high up windows with delight
Wow, you've made my day!! I don't think I've ever inspired anyone. You have been busy 😃. What a good idea to do a sewing room tour.... I may need to dust first 😂😂😂😂
Have fun with that. Look forward to seeing it made up.😊
Thank you. I think it will be a relatively quick make. Well I hope so 😂
Great to see you and your friend have decided to take part. Look for to seeing your finished make 😊
@nicky-sewsnip5903 it looked such fun, we couldn't resist. She's already sewn hers....mines still in the packet 😱. I really must get on with it 😂😂😂
Hi Kay, great to hear your joining in the challenges. I’ll add your Vlog to the playlist and please feel free to post your reveal on Weds 31st July and tag me in so I can promote your vlog.
@The_Gemini_Stitcher hello! When I heard the challenge I couldn't resist. It's a brilliant idea. Thank you so much for organising it x
Oh I love this challenge. I guess it's too late to send patterns overseas. Might have to check out next month's challenge.😊
It's a brilliant idea, they are so clever to think of it. Instead of posting a paper pattern, you could maybe have someone pick out a free pdf pattern to be made? Mood Sewciety, The Fabrics Store and Peppermint Magazine have tons of patterns.
@create_something_pretty if you'd like me to pick out a pdf pattern for you, so you can join in, I'm happy to do so. Just let me know if there is anything you don't want (swimsuit, fly zips, invisible zips, ruffles, etc) and your sewing level and I'll have a look for a free pdf pattern you can download straightaway? 🥰😘
@@pinkderdlesews Thank you so much. This is so kind. Do you think it would matter if I couldn't finish it in July? I would love to take part I'm just a little concerned if I could make it in time. Maybe if it was something really easy to sew. What do you think?
@create_something_pretty why not! Nothing to lose if you give it a go, and you'll have a new garment 😁
@@create_something_prettyHi Katrina. I've watched a couple of your blogs to try and get an idea of what you might like to sew. Really enjoyed your blogs by the way, you have such a relaxed, chatty style 😊. In one of your blogs, you mentioned you needed more sweaters and jumpers. In February I took part in the Sew Frugal challenge and my favourite pattern was the Mood Sewciety Felicia Sweater. I sewed it in a thin Jersey and it was the perfect layering piece and, more importantly, sees up so fast it's not true! This should be the link for your pattern challenge if you want to join in www.moodfabrics.com/blog/the-felicia-sweater-free-sewing-pattern/
Happy sewing 😘😘😘
sorry about all the 'ums' and 'so's' 🤦♀
