Aww thank you!! I enjoyed making my outfit and the tie and so glad it got worn lol!! I love that bornella fabric! Just need some warmth for encourage me to sew it into a top lol! Xx
Lovely bear - she will make a lovely pressie for someone who wins her ❤ That fabric for your Mabel is gorgeous - and I would say the Mabel as a top is defo a blouse. Lovely video ❤❤❤
Loved your long line jacket, it is such a nice colour and fits you perfectly. Your wedding outfit was lovely. Hope your future makes go well and happy sorting with your wardrobe.
Thank you so much, I was so pleased with how the wedding outfit came together in the end and I felt really nice wearing it. Thank you, lots more clothes to sort lol xx
I love the family photo from the wedding. You always see where the children are calmly standing or sitting, looking somewhat serious, or maybe smiling, and everything looks staged perfectly. That's not the way it really is. Yours is a real family photo. It's adorable and makes me laugh.
Lovely chatty video Karen! Your Mabel dress is so pretty and the teal coat is gorgeous too. That's so sweet your son wore the tie to the wedding. Thanks for sharing, so nice to catch up with you
Love your Mabel, I never really liked it before, but yours is gorgeous. Also love love your long line coat. You looked amazing for the wedding. I'd be interested in the memory bear! Love the hoodie too❤😊
Thanks Emma! I was on the fence about the Mabel when it was first released, it was after seeing others make it on instagram when I got drawn to it. I’m pleased with the coat too 😊. I’m going to set up a fundraiser for the bear, so will come back on another video about that xx
The length of your jacket is absolutely fine. Love the matching tie idea and I find it really sweet that your son wore it. You have great boys. I find your talent for working out how to make the memory bear unbelievable
Thank you! Yeah I’m probably just being a bit picky and nobody else would probably notice as much as I do. I was so happy he wore the tie 😊. Thank you, they are lots of fun. I’ve made more progress with my memory bear, and I’m pleased with how it’s coming along so far xx
Really enjoyed your video and your Mabel dress is absolutely gorgeous and I love the matching tie! Definitely giving me some ideas too for matching outfits ❤ x
It was so lovely to meet you at the stitch festival! The social aspect was the best part. We missed so many stalls so we are definitely going to try to stay up and do 2 days next time. Love the fabric and buttons combo, beautiful. 🥰🤩
Aww thanks, it was so lovely meeting you also! You’re right it was so fun socialising with everyone and definitely going to do 2 days next year!! I’m looking forward to seeing that fabric up 😊 xx
I love that the front stripes on the bear do not line up! It gives a charming, playful character on her. A bit of whimsy is perfect on a stuffed animal.
Great vlog as always you look stunning in your Mabel and Jacket and yet again you have inspired me and I will definitely make the Mabel. Thank you for sharing your phobia most of us have them mine is wearing socks on a carpet I can’t stand it, I wear slippers in the house all the time unless I am in the shower or asleep ! Your bear is beautiful too well done ❤❤
Thank you so much, so glad I’ve inspired you with the Mabel too, I really do like that pattern, I’m looking forward to making the other dress and top. I can understand your phobia lol. It’s funny how we all have our quirks. I’m making progress with my memory bear using the T-shirts and I’m pleased with how it’s coming along so far. Xx
Hi Karen, This has been a lovely video-such a joy to watch. Your wedding outfit was stunning, and the accessories were coordinated well. The bear is so cute. I have attended the Knitting and Stitching show in Harrowgate once, but I think I may try to visit the ones in Birmingham and London someday. I prefer to see fabrics in person rather than purchase them online, and it is nice to have a variety of vendors all in one place. Fabric shops in my area are limited, so it would be good to have more choices. Have you considered a Teaching Assistant post in a local school (if there are any vacancies)? It may be an idea to volunteer for a few hours (hearing the children read, etc.) to demonstrate your skills, and then if a post does become available, you may stand a better chance of securing the job.
Hi Linda, so glad you enjoyed watching this video. It was nice to share what I’ve been getting up to. I’ve not been able to attend the knitting and stitching show before, it’s one I’d like to try but not sure I’ll make it this year unfortunately. I agree, shopping for fabric in person is so much better. I’m registered on the eteach website, so I’m notified when positions become available. I’ve only applied for one so far, but I’m doubtful I’ll hear back. Another was posted today which I’m going to try for. But there’s not many where the hours suit me right now, it’s so difficult to find something that will still enable me to be around for the boys before and after school. I will keep a look out for the teaching assistant roles too. I’m hoping my experience working with cubs will also help xx
Your bear is so cute! Maybe you can do a fundraiser and everyone who donates to it gets an entry into the raffle and you pick someone at random from that 😊
Your dress and coat are so beautiful and the whole family looks great!! That bear came out adorable!! You are inspiring to get started with some practice ones before doing my grown up kids baby clothes.🧸🧸I''m sure your parents will love them! I'm so jealous of all the fun sewing shows you guys have over there, I think we have Quilt shows and that's it. You crack me up when you talk about the buttons, I totally get it, we all have some type of phobias, don't we? I feel that way about cotton balls, I hate touching them, and I'm petrified of heights. Lovely catch up video! Have a great week!💖-Mary
Hi Mary, thank you!! I was so pleased with how my dress and coat combo turned out and I’m looking forward to wearing them separately now too. I’m really enjoying making the bears, they’re a lovely keepsake for your children’s baby clothes. We are lucky to have such amazing shows to go to. lol yes I get your cotton ball phobia and I also hate heights too!! Xx
Thanks Maggie 😊. Yes of course, the cardi is the Tilly and the buttons Pearl cardigan and I’m wearing the Colette Moneta dress underneath it, which you can get on the seamwork website xx
Your wedding outfit is lovely Karen. I hope you do find a job that suits you and fits in with family life. Never easy juggling work and family, but I'm sure you will manage it.
Thanks so much Annette, I really enjoyed wearing my outfit to the wedding. Yes, fingers crossed something comes up that fits for us. We were hoping to wait another couple of years so all the boys were at high school, but unfortunately not. Xx
Bumper Video.🙃🙂 Love your Mabel and your Long line Jacket is a lovely colour. I would consider buying a raffle ticket if you are donating to a local charity to you. Have a great week x Debbie x x
Thank you so much! I will sort out a way so I can get the raffle tickets sorted, so will announce on my next video. I really enjoyed wearing my outfit to the wedding and love the Mabel dress pattern xx

Thank you!! Yes that’s so true! We never really manage to get a serious family photo lol, they all have their characters and love to mess about xx

The colour of your jacket suits you beautifully.It emphasizes the colour of your eyes.

Roy’s Material World! Fabulous store, I came across him at Harrogate last year and he had lovely fabrics!
I agree and I think his prices are very good too 🤩👍 xx
Love your Mabel, the colours suit you so well & your teal jacket is beautiful & perfect for spring x
Thanks so much Claire, I’m so pleased with both makes and enjoyed wearing them together xx

My husband doesn’t like matchy-matchy either!! 🤷🏼♀️🤣🤣🤣
lol!! 😂 such a shame isn’t it!! Xx
My husband has a button phobia too. He doesn't even like seeing my button box!
Oh wow, I’ve never really known of anyone else who has it, so it’s good to hear I’m not the only one lol. 😜 xx
You are looking amazing!
Aww thank you so much 😊 xx
Phobias are funny. I am disgusted by butterflies.
Oh wow really!! How funny, yep phobias are just bizarre xx
