@@denisedagnone4115 That sounds like an ideal spot Denise, I do love WA. Last time I was there we did a bit of a road trip and had a fantastic time, so much to do and see. I hope to get back there one day, Deb 🪡🧵💕
Wonderful Deb, First time I have watched for a while. Love your Tulip dress. We have a Tulip Tree!! Love that shirt you have on- colour is great! Big news here.. still painting and have packed sewing machine… ohh! In safe storage. Daughter moving soon. Postponing sale until April late now.! Keep well
@@JulieJones-mi8gq Thanks Julie, I think the large facing is stylish too, reminds me of an expensive t-shirt facing. Still 37 degrees at 6pm 🥵. Have a great sewing week, Deb 🪡🧵💕
Loving all the makes especially the shape of the Tulip dress and the clever shoulder shaping. I have several Stitchbird dresses which are very similar but have the crossover pleat at the back which is a bit different. My favourite is actually in a Lady McElroy cotton lawn. Agree totally about arms - they are what they are!! I do what you suggest with Naya sleeve bands and have just finished my first Bestie 😍. You have been SO productive. Enjoy the heat while we shiver😂😂😂😂. Happy Sewing😊. Lynne
@@SewMyTime Thanks Lynne, I haven’t made the Stitchbird dress but I do like the Sewing Revival patterns so I’ll have to have a look at that one, I do love a cotton lawn, very comfortable fabric in the heat of the summer. I think the Naha is a fabulous top, but will change to bands in the round for the next one, it just looks neater. It’s 7:15 and still 37 degrees, it says it will be 35 by 8pm, sounds like a hot night 🥵, try to keep warm. Have a great sewing week, Deb 🪡🧵💕
Love all your makes. I've just finished a Bestie bag. Had to follow a Sew Along. A tip that isn't mentioned, it would be good to reduce some on the bulk in the seams before adding the straps. the last step of top stitching I found impossible to sew through the bulk. I absolutely love the bag. It's very capacious and the pockets are excellent.
@@barbaradavie150 Thanks Barbara, I will look up the sew along, thanks for the tip on reducing the bulk, I will make sure to trim it down before adding the straps. I’m really looking forward to some bag making this year. Have a great sewing week, Deb 🪡🧵💕
Thank you Deb I realy enjoy watching your work and listening to you. Do you do classes I would love to join in some time it you do. I know I am probably too old for learning but it’s nice to learn with someone so special. I have been a patchworker burnt myself out now I am trying clothes for myself Thank you for your blogxxx
@@FaheyMiller Thanks Fahey, I do have classes, just a one on one at the moment, I will be doing some online classes later this year. You are never too old to learn, I personally love doing classes and always learn a few new tips and tricks. I do some patchwork and quilting but mainly love making clothes, although I will be making a few bags this year. Have a great sewing week, Deb 🪡🧵💕
Great lot of makes Deb. I love the Wardrobe by Me dress on you. Love the fabric. I have had no luck with the Naya fit wise but I make the LB shirt from Paper Theory. It fits so well for me. It’s getting hot here in the Waikato NZ as well. We are hoping for some rain as it is soo dry. Looking forward to seeing what you make next.
@@jacquihooper158 Thanks Jacqui, I have never made the LB from Paper Theory, I think it is fairly similar to the Anaya from memory, can you make that one in knit or woven as well? We were hoping for some rain yesterday but it passed right over us, the tank is getting pretty empty at the moment. Have a great sewing week, Deb 🪡🧵💕
Oh Deb I love the Tulip dress, so many good things about it. I've looked at that dress for the longest time... I think its going "on the list" now 😂. I'll make the long sleeves. I'll go check out Gemini Stitcher's versions too I haven't watched her for a while. Everything else you made is great too. I've been really struggling with time for sewing lately and am really missing it! Hope you have a great week.
@@sewmuchsewing Thanks Catherine, it’s a lovely dress, Christine’s dress is beautiful especially the one in the Tula Pink fabric. hope you get some sewing time in soon, have a great week, Deb 🪡🧵💕
Hi Deb You have been very busy this week. Your makes look great. I wore my Abbey dress this week. It is so lovely to wear. Did you buy hardware for your Bestie bag? Have a great week. 🪻🪻🪻
@@libbybennett3067 Hi Libby, I love wearing my Abby dresses, very comfortable. I bought some hardware for my Bestie Bag and I already had some so I think I had all I need, I guess I will see 😂. Have a great sewing week, Deb 🪡🧵💕
@ Hi Libby I haven’t heard of Dreamy Bags, I purchase mine from Kristen when I am putting in an order or from Voodoo Rabbit who have most of the hardware, Deb
Great makes there Deb. I’ve been making sleeveless tops too recently. Much too hot for sleeves at the moment. In fact I’m even making some shorts while I have you in the background 😊. I like your idea of using the top of a jumpsuit pattern. I have the birdie jumpsuit by Stylearc (a freebie). Might give it a go.
@@vickimaiorano5763 Thanks Vicki, I have embraced the sleeveless, you’re right it’s too hot not to. I love the Birdie jumpsuit, the armholes come up nice and high to keep all your bits in. Have a great sewing week, Deb 🪡🧵💕
I love that fabric in the shirt you are wearing and l think it was from one of Kristin’s boxes. I’m off to get an Abbey dress pattern l think. What is the GSM on the black patterned viscose of the abby? Amazing sewing this blog Deb! I like the details in the Tulip dress and as lve made 3 Sew Different Mahal dresses, l think their styling lines are unique.
@@catinthehat1486 Hi Cat, the black patterned viscose is 120 gsm, I think the green one is about 100 gsm. I do love the Sew Different patterns I have also made the Duster and have purchased another pattern for the Essential Denim Dress, which will be for when the weather is cooler, a friend of mine made the Mahal and it’s gorgeous, she did a wonderful job on it. Have a great sewing week, Deb 🪡🧵💕
Hi Deb. I find that a lot of dress patterns with a v-neck button up front are too low cut for me. I just don't feel comfortable in them. I sewed up the last one I made. I have tried redrafting the neckline shape but that didn't work and on the Tilly and the Buttons Bell dress, I have taken a little out of the shoulder seams. Can you please do a video on how you adjust the neckline on a v-neck button up dress/top so that they are not so low cut? ❤
@@alisonodonnell7832 Hi Alison, it is true so many dresses and tops are very low cut, I think some of the lovely patterns are designed for a very tall person. The older we get our spine compresses from the back neck to the waist, this often causes the garment to be too long from the shoulder to the bust making it far too revealing. I will do a video on raising a v-neck so it is not so low cut, I will do this in the next few weeks. Have a great sewing week, Deb 🪡🧵💕
Which fabric do you prefer the Abby dress in? The heavier or the lighter one? I made it in a fabric with a bit more structure and think maybe it would be better in a viscose?
@@rachelgarnsey7953 Hi Rachel, I prefer the Abby in the green very light weight viscose, but they are very different dresses due to the fabric type. I would love any dress in the very lightweight fabric as it’s like wearing nothing, not the type of dress you could wear to work, whereas in the ekko viscose you could wear it to work and it’s not see through, the green light fabric is really really casual. Have a great sewing week, Deb 🪡🧵💕
@@robinbain1019 Hi Robin, it’s the Gilbert shirt by Helen’s Closet, but it has no collar and the front band for the button placket only goes to the waist as I made it from scraps, I love the fabric and didn’t want to waste it, so sort of half a shirt. Have a great sewing week, Deb 🪡🧵💕
