I loved your fantasy self at the pool story. I bet you fantasies about a dedicated sewing room in a larger house. I think you will enjoy sewing even more and get more projects done when you no longer have to rearrange your whole bedroom before you can start sewing. Despite a job, kids and living in a small apartment you still find the time and energy to make lovely clothes and share it with us on RUclips. This blouse has turned out really lovely, soft, romantic, vintage.
I do, and we're starting to work towards making that a reality! But mostly I fantasize about running away and opening a boutique hotel on a hot island. I'd hate it after a week but it's fun to think about!
have the Gilbert in my pattern stash, but I had forgotten about it because I got it in winter. Your marriage of this lovely print with the camp shirt was inspired. And like Amie, I noticed that your lipstick matches gorgeously.
Very pretty blouse. This is just the kind of top I love in the summer. I have this pattern but haven’t made yet, you’ve inspired me to get going and sew it. The fabric looks lovely. I’m going to check this fabric store out. That’s so wonderful they considered you to help advertise their fabric, so cool! Shows you are doing a great job here in many ways! Oh and you look great in that lip color your wearing! Take care.
Very cute !! I love your vision of the cafe!! If your ever bored and wanna make a video on how you do the bicep adjustment I’d love to see how you do it!! Have a great weekend !!
Absolutely beautiful summer shirt, Megan. The fabric is gorgeous on you, and you look so comfortable and confident in it. I recently refashioned an old cotton lawn dress into the Norma Blouse, but I had to shorten the sleeves due to fabric constraints. It turned out so pretty. Once I get my butt in gear for photos, I'll share it!
Love your blouse. His video actually got me thinking and I don’t think I’ve ever uses cotton lawn even though I’ve heard and seen it for years. I’ll have to give it a try this summer. DC gets super hot and humid so it would be perfect
This is gorgeous Megan! Beautiful fabric… I was on the fence about the Gilbert but I’m seeing your version.. it’s now been added to the list! Perfect for summer to dress up and down! And I really hope fantasy Megan has her day in the sun!!!!
Beautiful blouse and it looks amazing on you! I made a Cashmerette Harrison out of cotton lawn and absolutely loved the process. I’ve been on the lookout for more beautiful lawns so I’ll check out Modes4U and see what goodies I find. 😀
Your fabric choice for your Gilbert top was so perfect and I'm glad you could vouch for the quality. I will definitely have to take a look at their fabric. My summer sewing plans are cool woven tops and it sounds like they have a lot of suitable fabrics. Thanks for your review Megan.
What a beautiful blouse, and that fabric, oh my! It's funny you said the fabric reminded you of a well-worn bedsheet because I thought it reminded me of a vintage bedsheet. I've been looking for vintage sheets to make a button-up shirt, but I can only find them in cotton-poly blends and I don't use polyester. I'll definitely check out their cotton lawn fabrics. It's not odd that you're taking fashion cues from your grandmother. This year, one of my projects is recreating pieces inspired by clothes my mom owned that I loved as a kid.
Thanks, Carol! I have found some beautiful fabric that's turned out to be poly cotton, and I know it won't be as comfortable to wear. I think this is a great option!
Megan... you made such a pretty blouse... yes I have some of the same memories of my grandmother n her blouses (n aprons 💜) I am so glad that you shared a new to me source of these fabrics... I will be going to their site n checking what they have to offer... so nice to think about hanging out with the kids by the pool... those were the days... I always love to see what you are sewing thank you for sharing... blessings
I’m sure this’ll be yet another interesting and informative video once I find a way to listen to it. I wonder if I’m the only one who struggles with the low volume? I’ve got both my iPad and my external speaker cranked to maximum volume but you’re so much more soft-spoken than usual today that I can’t catch much of what you’re saying. Not a complaint! Just an alert in case it’s a microphone issue. Thanks for what you do!
So pretty the fabric and pattern combination. Very flattering. And it matches your lipstick. ! What type of jacket or sweater do you find this collar type works well with? I also live in calgary and find I would be cold just wearing the blouse. Thank you

The blouse is gorgeous! The fabrics I saw that you shared looked wonderful...I'll have to check shipping to the US.

Thanks Amie! I was sad when they stopped making this lipstick!
@@MeganGMakes isn’t that always the case! You finally find the shade that suits you and bam. It goes away.
That fabric is lovely and so works with your complexion, good call
Thank you!
Really like the blouse, it looks quite good on you. From your description I think that fabric would make a beautiful summer dress.
It would be such a lovely fabric for a dress. Thanks for watching, Sandra!
What a beautiful blouse Megan. You are just glowing in your new make! It looks so soft and comfy 😊
Thanks Donna :)
What a beautiful top paired with such beautiful fabric!!!
Thanks!
I love sewing with cotton lawn too! I did not have any trouble hearing you.
Thanks Christine :)
Very cute !! I love your vision of the cafe!! If your ever bored and wanna make a video on how you do the bicep adjustment I’d love to see how you do it!! Have a great weekend !!
I will think about how to film that! I've been trying different methods so it would be a great thing to talk about.
Good use of absolutely beautiful fabric. I’m purchasing from them. Thanks for the video.
Thanks Barbara - I hope you enjoy the fabric!
Love the blouse.. Iove the fabric..perfect!
Thank you!
Very pretty! Has a vintage look to me and you did a super job on the collar ect.
Granny chic! Love it.
😆 absolutely!

Thanks! I think your Harrison blouse is gorgeous. I bought that pattern after watching your video!

Just a note.. I just got my order today and I'll agree, they are beautiful and have a wonderful texture.

Also, I'd love to see your project - do you share your photos on Instagram or a blog?

Thanks, Cindy :) yes, pool days with small children aren't relaxing, but they are wonderful.
That shirt is soo beautiful!❤ I've never used cotton lawn! I'll have to try it sometime!
Really pretty!
Thank you!
You look beautiful in your new blouse. I recently used a cotton lawn to make a shirt dress (M7472), and I loved the experience and result.
Thank you! A shirt dress in that pattern would be so nice for spring and summer!
Looks fantastic 😊👌🏼
Thank you!

Hmm, I'm sorry to hear that! I'll check the sound on a few devices.
Gorgeous blouse. Nice to hear about the fabric. Does it wrinkle like crazy? I'll check out the website. Did you have to pay a lot for customs?
I didn't have to pay any customs charges, which was a surprise!
So pretty the fabric and pattern combination. Very flattering. And it matches your lipstick. ! What type of jacket or sweater do you find this collar type works well with? I also live in calgary and find I would be cold just wearing the blouse. Thank you
Thanks! I'd wear it with a cardigan with a plain neckband, maybe on the looser side. It definitely is chilly here this weekend!
Could you wear this with the Blackwood cardigan? I think that’s the correct pattern name. From the same company as your top.
Absolutely. They'd go together really well!
