Such a beautiful blouse on you Michelle. The collar detail is awesome and the color suits you well. I struggled with getting my fit right on the Donny shirt . I used the Beyond the Pink door lemon fabric ..I have liberty of london fabric i splurged on . Want to try that and size up one. Doesn't do me any good sitting in a bin. Worst that can happen is it doesn't fit again. If that's the case, I will cut it up for quilting which I might do with my first Donny. Changed my mind and just bought the Wendy Ward book. xx Karen
Great makes , I bought the simplicity jumper pattern after you showed it and I’ve made 3 so far , it’s a great pattern so thanks for showing it 😊- here’s to 2024 🎉
Ahh that’s make nine for you though isn’t it 🤣 it’s very hit and miss! You made some other stunners last year though so who cares about the make nine xx
If you removed the top of the dungarees and put in a 1 inch band (just a 2 inch strip of fabric) you’d likely solve both of your problems at once. Beautiful makes.
Great makes. Re acacia knickers I have a project folder and when I have spare jersey I have the pattern in the folder too so I cut it out while I’m cutting out my other jersey item. I clip the pieces together so I know what is what. Then in order stretch lace ( I have the amount needed on a label on the pattern folder) for however many I’ve got and sew them. Andrea (btpd) does a great tutorial on the stretch lace for the legs and waist and it’s a total game changer, so easy.
I love your idea for cutting out the knickers from scraps as you are finishing up projects. All your makes are just so delightful! I love your taste in fabric and clothing! I did not do an official make none, but of course, I have a never-ending, ever-changing, list of what I want to make.
Good Job! Bet if you hadn't wrecked your wrist you would have done the pretty long sleeved t-shirt too. 🎉 happy New Year and 🥂 to sewing up a storm in 2024
Fabulous! All your makes are lovely and look super nice on you. I have made that Sweater with the high neck, long sleeves and the long cuffs. It's a great pattern and I think you would love it. See you in your next video, and Happy New year!
hi Michelle, well done on your make nine challenge, 7 is amazing, I only managed 3.5 so work to do this year, as you said, I also got side tracked with other patterns I wanted to make, I need a new approach but not sure what yet , glad your wrist is feeling better xx
Ah good luck with your makes for this year! It can be so hard keeping to a make nine list but it is just guide on what we may want to do and just a bit of fun 😁
Brilliant round up Michelle. Some super makes. I particularly loved the dresses you make. I think the chambray one is my favourite. I do however, love your Frieda blouse also, which I’d love to make for myself.
I was really surprised that I made 7. I made 14 garment total. It was a good year for sewing! I see some sewing RUclipsrs made 100 or more. How do they even have the space!
I love your make nine. Particularly the Butterick dress. I've had my eye on the one you made. Your version is beautiful. I like the concept of your make nine too. I've been thinking of including patterns from books in mine this year. It's always lovely to catch up with you. Happy New Year 🎆🎆🥂
Your makes are all beautiful! I enjoy watching your vlogs and following your adventures in life and sewing. I am glad your arm/wrist is healing. You were so sad when it first happened. I am happy to see you smiling again. Have a Happy New Year!
All your makes came out great! I made the Simplicity 9385 and I have worn it once. I really dislike how the sleeves came out. I made the one that the model is wearing. It's made from a beautiful red sweater knit. I have no idea what to do with it! Happy New Year! ~Nancy
Oh no! Yeah I wasn’t too sure on the pleated sleeve detail but I suppose you have to try these things to know. Maybe you could donate it if you think you won’t wear it x
You made some super things Michelle this year & love the dresses in particular, well done. Look forward to seeing what 2024 makes will include. Pleased to hear the wrist is better.😊
I missed some of your Vlogmas videos and didn’t know you broke your wrist. I’m glad it’s healing so well. I broke both bones in my right wrist in early October and had 2 surgeries and am finally getting better. Keep up the great sewing and good healing. Happy New Year-Claudia
Glad your wrist is getting better, you certainly seem more like your old self. Well done completing 7 out of 9, I've managed 0 out of ?. I've lots of fabric and patterns but just can't get motivated to do anything with them. I have a problem with my lower back so find cutting out very difficult. Will miss seeing Bentley's and Misty's antics. Can you put a shot of them in every video? Happy New Year.
Ah sorry to hear your back is causing issues and stopping you sew 😢 maybe try and do a quick and easy projects which involve not as much cutting or only doing one or 2 pattern pieces at a time x I’ll try and include the cats in a few videos so they are still involved 😻
Great accomplishment - I love how you love the fabrics - it's a joy. Don't apologise for the more neutral/black colours - they look fantastic too. 2023 was the year I returned to sewing my clothes after a break of around 30 years LOL. I did do a make 9 last January not knowing what exactly it meant and I have done 5 out of the 9 which surprised me. Actually I have done 4 versions of one of the makes so does that bump the number up? I love your 3 "lines" approach and I'm going to copy🤩 [if that's OK] I like the repeats line and the Big 4 line. I don't have any sewing books so decided I will do a make 3 you didn't do in 2023 [from your 2023 Make 9 list] You are very inspirational 🥰
Ahh this is lovely to hear that you are sewing again after such a long break 😁 well done on your make nine last year that’s a great result and I am so pleased that you feel inspired to try it again this year! Best of luck and happy sewing ❤️
Gday hun. Lovely video. Yay for what you made in make9 🥰Wishing you, Stuart, Misty & Bentley a paw-some New years 🎉Thanku 'sew' much for sharing 🪡✂🧵💙xx
Well done, Michelle. You did a great job on your Make 9. I love all of your color choices for each project. Each combination really worked. The black top will look great with the gray pants too. I am going to release my 2023 Make 9 video soon. I am sad to say I didn't complete as many makes as I had hoped. Hopefully, I will do better in 2024. 😉 I wish you a very happy and prosperous new year. ❤
Hello Michelle! I’m so glad you’re doing well. I love all your makes for this year. Seven is a really good number. I love the Frida Blouse. Your fabric is beautiful. It’s one that I want to make as well. You have inspired me to make pants next year. Wishing you, Stuart, Bentley and Misty a Happy New Year! Thank you for sharing! Your friend Diane ❤
Happy new year! It is quite a popular thing on Instagram where at the beginning of the year you post up about 9 sewing patterns (or craft related items) that you want to make for the year ahead. I quite like to have a goal but very rarely do people make all nine x
Such a beautiful blouse on you Michelle. The collar detail is awesome and the color suits you well. I struggled with getting my fit right on the Donny shirt .

Love the hummingbird print!
👍❤️
Great makes , I bought the simplicity jumper pattern after you showed it and I’ve made 3 so far , it’s a great pattern so thanks for showing it 😊- here’s to 2024 🎉
After this I actually got it cut out 🙌🙌🙌 I can’t wait to get it sewn up x
Your dungarees didn’t look short to me. Good job. Love the Gertie neckline too!
Oh thank you! 🤩
You have done so well! Wish I’d done as many of mine 😂
Ahh that’s make nine for you though isn’t it 🤣 it’s very hit and miss! You made some other stunners last year though so who cares about the make nine xx
You did really well to get 7 out of 9 made up and they were all very successful.
Thank you 😁
If you removed the top of the dungarees and put in a 1 inch band (just a 2 inch strip of fabric) you’d likely solve both of your problems at once.
Beautiful makes.
Yes I suppose I could do this, however it would affect the fit on the bust as it has bust darts otherwise yes a quick fix 👍 x
7 out of 9 is fabulous!
😁

Andrea (btpd) does a great tutorial on the stretch lace for the legs and waist and it’s a total game changer, so easy.
That's a great idea! I must try and do that! 😁
Love all of your makes...
Thank you 😁
I love your idea for cutting out the knickers from scraps as you are finishing up projects.
All your makes are just so delightful! I love your taste in fabric and clothing!
I did not do an official make none, but of course, I have a never-ending, ever-changing, list of what I want to make.
Yeah the ‘to make’ list seems endless for me 😂 happy new year and happy sewing xx
Lovely makes! I especially like the Frida blouse. I have the AJ Olivia pattern and hope to make it this spring. Hope you have a wonderful 2024! ❤😊🎉
Happy new year! The Olivia looks like a lovely pattern 😁 I hope you enjoy making it x
Great accomplishment for your Make Nine, Michelle! You’ve sewn some beautiful garments! 😘
Thank you so much! 😊
Good Job! Bet if you hadn't wrecked your wrist you would have done the pretty long sleeved t-shirt too. 🎉 happy New Year and 🥂 to sewing up a storm in 2024
🤣 yeah probably! Thank you happy new year to you too x

Oh thank you! 🤩
Really enjoy your makes…I have the Tilly books and at the moment the billy dress is my go to and the Freya next…but will try the dungarees 😊
Have fun! 😁

Wow over 100!! As long as we enjoy what we do, be it 1 or 100 that’s the main thing I suppose 😁 x

Great job! I love your Safia Dungarees. I have the book as well, maybe i'll give it a go!
Yes give them a try 😁👍

Hi Michelle! Happy New Year. What is Make 9?
Happy new year! It is quite a popular thing on Instagram where at the beginning of the year you post up about 9 sewing patterns (or craft related items) that you want to make for the year ahead. I quite like to have a goal but very rarely do people make all nine x
What's on your cutting table for 2024? 🎉 🧵🪡👗
Ohh so many ideas!! 😁
