You are so inspiring! It’s just like sitting down with a good friend and chatting about sewing. Except it is only you chatting 😅😂🤣🤣🤣 “anyhow” you are lifting up so many with your smiling face and girly, down-to-earth way of being. Just lovely.
The last dress: fabric 4 or 5.
Happy sewing. Hugs from Norway 🇳🇴😊
I think the tiger print would be perfect for summer with gold (or turquoise! Or red!) accessories. Remaking previously used patterns is such a good idea- no puzzling over them trying to work out what the designer meant!
So pleased you've given a shout out for the Cocowawa Honeycomb Dress - it's got lovely side panel styling. I've made two and there's a third cut out ready to sew. I add a ruffle to lengthen the dress as I don't want anyone to see my ultra white legs!😂
Option 5, the viscose twill will give the shirt dress that little bit of stability and the darker color will be great as an all seasons dress. Happy sewing. I can’t wait to see your final result
Absolutely love the print of the viscose jersey t-shirt! Dresses are so comfortable and versatile. You have the most gorgeous fabrics and patterns!! You wear them all so well!
I think no 3 or 5 for the style arc dress . I like the autumnal fabric for the Reeta shirt dress as sometimes they are a good option with English summer weather.
I like the autumnal fabric for the Reeta as some days in English summers they are better suited.
Such great dress ideas and beautiful fabrics. I vote for the Chambray, since all the other dresses you are going to make in printed fabric, will nice to have a plain solid dress 😅
The Vienne dress is going to look gorgeous in the red fabric! I don’t think the zebra fabric is too autumnal, it’s going to look lovely. I vote for the Monstera fabric, I love that print 🤩
I like option 1 and 2 for that dress. That green fabric is beautiful! I still don't consider myself to be a very experienced sewist, but I have sewn a couple of Style Arc Patterns. I would suggest reading through the pattern ahead of time. I write down where/when I need to finish the seams because the pattern doesn't do that. I think the patterns might use the term "stay stitch" instead of "basting", which can be a little confusing if you're totally new, but you aren't. Maybe the terminology is a little different in Australia? Anyway, the drafting is excellent. They have so many choices. The styles are super cute. You've got this!
The brown tiger print is definitely a neutral, would look great year round xx
I try not to be bound by what i "should" wear. I don't go by"my" colours, if something doesn't fit with the current season, i just go for it.
i love all your pattern and fabric choices for work dresses, and if you look at them all they are so different to each other so lots of options. Love the reta shirt dress, i have two and find i wear it in autumn as its quite warm with the amount of fabric it takes. As for your collab dress obv fabric 1 with the big leaves and you know it 😉 however if your a bit unsure having not make it before then use one of the others that arn't quite as precious!
Lovely plans Ruan! For the last dress, I vote for fabric #2 or #4. The first fabric is my favorite (leaves with animal print), but I think that it would look so nice as the Rita dress with the floaty skirt to show off the fabric. 💖
Lots of fun fabric and stylish dresses. 💙🧶🌈🍓
My vote goes to the chambray ❤😊
I love that viscose satin but I think that would be better made up in something simple like the Lotta dress. Great selection of dresses though and I will look forward to seeing what you make.
I love the plain blue for the shirt dress
Ruan, Love watching you. Glad you are on holiday.
Here is my 2 cents. Yes, to the brown animal print, it is so you and can be used year-round -- so to me it is definite.
Regarding the Style Arc Palmer... I have made one Style Arc -- Bennett pants and I am 5'2". I had to make major adjustments for fit -- I am talking inches and inches .... and I made a muslin to be sure I understood their limited instructions -- and even doing the muslin - (it was weeks before I made the final garment) it was like starting again and not telling you the words I used for days!!! ... DESPITE all this -- they are the most comfortable PANTS!!! And the look great (at least to me). So you can see I have mixed emotions about Style Arc -- but I would say give it a whirl. I loved your #1 fabric viscose green leaf with animal prints -- so you and the dress will show off the fabric. After I see you, I may give the Palmer a try.
All amazing fabrics and patterns. On your poll and 5 fabrics to vote on, love number 1 x
First one - leaf print
Option no 1 definitely ❤️
A fun vlog Ruan and very inspiring with all your dress making plans😃 i’m excited to hear that the Quincy dress and the Rita shirt dress are included. I have had the Rita shirt dress pattern for a while,and have considered the Quincy several times! Love all the fabric choices.
I’ll go and vote now (monstera ❤ ftw), but just speaking from personal experience when I’ve made a shirt dress in chambray it felt like a nurses uniform 😮 😂 I cut it down to a shirt, so at least I saved it, but maybe I can save you from a similar fate 😅
3 - ooo the vienne looks pretty. Ooo pretty fabric. That will look fab ❤️❤️
Hi Ruan. Loving your channel from Wausau Wisconsin USA.
I vote for Fabric 5.
I like option one the big monstera leaves in animal prints, I think it screams shirt dress and would look wonderful on you.
I like the tiger print in Australian that is a summer look. I do not know about the community page, but my favourite fabrics are 1 and 3 and the last one. I really like 1 and 3, the last fabric with the blue might be the best for the challenge dress as I think it is better to save favourite fabrics for patterns you are more confident with.
The blue on navy astronomy print for the Style Arc pattern! But the viscose satin is also stunning!
Wow! I love all of your choices but especially love the fabric with Monstera leaves on black with animal print!!
Option 2 light blue. I was thinking that even before you showed the fabrics. A statement piece of jewelry and narrow light brown belt
5 - awww that looks cute! Love a bit of lure! That will look pretty 💚💛
I like all but I really think you should do the most stable fabric. The thing with viscose is it can be slippy and that is more a challenge than the pattern. Factor in collar buttonholes etc My personal favourites are 1 and 3 but I would make your first make of the pattern in option 2 as it's cotton. I love Style Arc - almost everything I make is by them. I think they unnecessarily get a bad press over instructions. They have listened to feedback and now have both printed new instructions to patterns [available free to anyone who has previously bought the pattern] and put tutorials on their website. Can't wait to see what you make.😎❤
I think the option 1 would be great!
4 - I think a pair of pumps and denim jacket would be great with it in the summer.
Simple fabric if you’ve never done Style Arc patterns before! Then do print next time!
Exciting…crazy how we change what we wear, I think a lot has to do with how ready to wear fits us and how we can make clothes actually fit us!
I’m excited to see them all made up and some beautiful fabrics to make them from.
I won’t vote - I think I have challenged you enough 🤣🤣. But I do have my favourite, let see if your viewers pick the same as me for you….
Can’t wait til we have our new Shirt dresses by Style Arc 💕🦩💕💖🦩🦩💕
Ooh can’t wait to see if you would have chosen the one that comes out on top! Thanks for the challenge. It’s good to be taken out of our comfort zone! 🤩
lovely fabric options for the final dress, you may want to think about the printed options and pattern matching with the lines and multiple small pieces of the style arc dress. BTW given the level of sewing you do Style Arc will be a breeze.
Definitely #4. I love that fabric and it would look amazing on you. I am a much less experienced sewer than you and I have made a lot of style arc patterns. The instructions are fine.
I like the green with leaves best but I’m voting for the blue. You are going to be busy!
Exciting plans Ruan, lots to look forward to. That viscose satin is stunning (but I didn’t vote for it). Enjoy your weekend. xx
Exciting plans Ruan! I vote pale blue chambray for the shirt dress 🙌
The UK is gonna get warmer as of May 30th because I’m coming home from Costa Rica 🎉and I’m bringing a suitcase full of sunshine 😊 Happy Days!
Fabric 1 for style Arc😊
So many gorgeous options - can't wait to see these all made up! I'd love to see that FG viscose twill as the Style Arc dress - lush! xxx
I absolutely love option 1, the greens are superb will look fabulous on you 💚💚💚
The red Vienne dress will look fab. Red does suit you!! Greetings from Vienna! ❤
Thank you ☺️
Exciting plans, go for them. Tiger print with gold sandals are perfect for summer.
Shirt dresses: if you like the pattern make more because all of the fabrics seem good for this. My favorites are #1 and #4 with red button for both!
Blue astronomical print for me
Love that bright red fabric Ruan...will be fun to see how the Vienne dress looks in it. xxKaren
the colours in the t shirt suit you!
Hello Ruan, My name is Valerie and I live in Las Vegas, NV, USA. Your channel is such a joy! I love your fabrics and the clothing that you make, which provides inspiration in my sewing. My vote for the Style Arc dress is the dark blue fabric with the light blue "zodiac" symbols. Happy sewing!
Thank you so much 😊
green with leaves
The blue on blue would be.great for the last dress
Love all those plans😍
Hi Ruan, it's fun hearing about your plans! I think the tiger print is absolutely doable! I think it would go beautifully with pale pink accessories. 😍 I've made the Reeta in a print with a black background and wanted to do it again with more of a solid safari vibe color. I've also made the Quincy dress in a print, and really like that one too.
I'll have to check out the Palmer dress....I've got about 5 other SA shirtdresses 😆Just read all the sentences 3 times out loud - every word counts 😉 Staystitch means baste, flatstitch means understitch, ... there may be others. The "helpful tips" is like General Instructions and everything counts. I'll love seeing the dresses you've got in the queue!
Ooh that’s really good to know. Thank you!
Love option 4 for the palma dress
I think the chambray for the style ark dress.
My vote plain blue. You said it resembles denim and I think that would be very cute
Definitely the green animal print!
for the shirt dress i think option 5 - the astrology sign one - lovely colour. The Reeta shirtdress will look gorgeous in that fabric and so suit you! the light blue chambray fabric would look lovely as a Marnie blouse with the pin tucks xx
Option #3. When you held it up to your face I thought it complimented your skin and hair. And I think the fabric will give you a sophisticated high end look.
The Style Arc shirt dress would look great with the viscose/satin, dark background with white flowers, good for day and evening.
Number 3 gets my vote as its lovely and summery!
Great vlog Ruan. Oooooo that fabric number 4 reminds me ofMerimiko , sooooo gorgeous. X
I think option one for your Style Arc Palmer dress, the tiger print would make a stunning summer dress and I see your option 4 as a beautiful Vienne Dress?
OPTION # 1, BEAUTIFUL
Style arc patterns are my favorites! The instructions aren’t detailed but they give you all the information you need. I love my Palmer dress I need to wear it (I made it for summer during the winter)
Lol I literally looked at the blue viscose and thought I need that in my life! 😂
Need the red in my life too!
Need the animal print leaves and the black with the white and pink… probably just your whole stash 😂
Ha ha. We’re defo fabric twins!
4 - love the pockets. Definitely not for beginners. Love the fabric, it will look stunning on you 😍
Found the Comunity tab (yayyyy). For me the SHJ fabric but I see that option 1 is winning BUT that fabric is so so beautiful (they are all lovely but that one is a step beyond beautiful). However, whichever one is voted for and chosen will be gorgeous. Option 3, option 3 option 3. Can't wait to see them all
😂😂
Love the Quincy dress xx love how honest you are about dress sizes. Love the fabrics
Great selection of fabrics, option 3 would be my choice for the Style Arc dress.
WOW 6 dresses, lots of sewing and they will all look fab I’m sure. I like the fabric for number 4 and think you should go for it. I’m off to find your community tab now to vote for the last dress. Good luck, and look forward to seeing how you get on ❤
Option number 1 gets my vote….but it will look great in any of your options.
Hi Ruan. You're going to have a beautiful collection of dresses! Both brown and animal print can be considered neutrals. I had a caftan/dress combo back in the 70s with a similar print in caramel and black. It was by far one of my most picked items to wear when getting dressed in the morning. In my climate (California), the warm brown and gold and sand colors are prevalent in the summer. All the hills turn golden for the dry summer months with no rain. Some species are drought-adapted to put on their fall show, with leaves turning yellow/gold then brown, then dropping off to be bare gray/brown sticks at the beginning of the summer heat to conserve water rather than supporting leaves through the dry season. The lush green season is short and is sometime in late winter/early spring, depending on how much rain we get. I'm going to think of you sewing while surrounded by all kinds of lovely color and patterns, Antonia
Love all the dresses that you are hoping to make! Never made the Lotta, hopefully yours will make up my mind. I like option 4 or 5 for the Style Arc dress. A great selection!
Okay, I knew for sure you would include a TATB Lyra. You shocked me. LOL.
I love all of your choices. I especially look forward to seeing the Honeycomb dress in the green vicose with lurex. I just made a Sew House Seven Regalia Blouse with mine. I used a different vicose for the inside bits. It's a beautiful fabric. ❤😊
Ha ha. I surprised myself 😂
Omg I love the green fabric ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Animal is a nuetral.. tiger is a year round print for sure
Love everything.....good taste..
2 - oh yes the fabric would look fab with a pair of tights come autumn 😂
Number 5 is fab and it would make a great shirt dress xx
I think the brown/black tiger print is gorgeous for summer but you'll also get plenty of wear out of it in Autumn too - very versatile! Thanks for some great inspiration, I'm always on the lookout for day dress patterns and you have some that I haven't come across before. 😊
Number 3 would look beaut in that dress pattern
Hi Ruan, as you are such an experienced sewist you won’t have any problem with style arc. I’ve made several and although the instructions are hopeless you can work things and sometimes even do your own thing. Any of your fabrics would be great but maybe use a fabric as a practice so you don’t lose a fabric you really love. Good luck,you can make a Style Arc dress
I love all your fabric choices , , look forward to seeing the dresses made up.
… FABRIC NUMBER FOUR !!! Yes I am shouting so you can hear me voting lol… all these fabrics and dress patterns are just awesome Ruan , I’m excited to see them all come to life .. hugs xoxo Monica 💙💙💙
The green cocowawa is my favourite. It’s such a good colour on you.
You’re going to make SIX dresses !!! ( the green fabric) xxx
I certainly am! 😂
I love option number 1 the Colours and print are beautiful
Looking forward to seeing all those makes. Love the patterns and the fabrics that you chose to go with them. I’m making pajamas and a sauvie dress. I just need to cut them out and sew them, of course 😄. Thank you for sharing! Your friend Diane ❤
All your fabric is just delicious 😍😍😍😍
What fab pattern suggestions! I’ve not heard of that Jennifer Lauren one… *runs off to check it out!
Happy sewing
😂😂
If the Tiger print is visible on both sides I would go for a button front dress, cause then you could wear it differently each season:
Winter: fully buttoned under a black pinafore or V-neck sweater & circle skirt.
Spring: open neck with a black bolero and black twill skirt layered over it.
Summer: wear unbuttoned as a breezy duster over a cream sheath dress and natural leather sandals.
Fall: wear on it’s own with a black belt, tights, and boots. Sneak a cream or black turtleneck under it if chilly.
Ooh, lovely fabrics, my vote goes to the black/green monstera animal print :)
Always love your plans❤❤❤
LOVE the look of that JLH Quincy dress. I ran right into my sewing room to see if I’d purchased it before - YEP, it’s just waiting for me to make it up as well. I love her dresses. I wore one yesterday in fact. OK, now I’m going to watch the rest of your video…
Can’t totally see you in this pattern!
I LOVE the green leaf print, but I think it would work better for Autumn/Winter.
Option 5 would look stunning in the shirt dress. Love all your dress plans for work too ❤
Option four will look fabulous for your shirt dress.
On the brown zebra print, I’m leaning towards the “too autumnal” camp. I know it really doesn’t matter if you love something you might want to wear it all year long! Changing up accessories would definitely define the season. You inspired me to make a non-cotton jersey t-shirt! Thank you!!
On the Palmer dress, I really like the first fabric-leaves with animal prints.
