Rachael, yourself and Tania MADE ME DO IT, I saw both your versions and could not resist. I bought another sweatshirt, the Maison Fauve and I can't wait to make it ❤❤❤
Katie it was just brilliant and so great to spend some time with you and all the lovely ladies!!! I’m very happy with my makes! What an utter luxury!! 🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷
Hi Rachael it looked like you had the best time on your retreat, I went on one earlier this year and had the best time ever isn’t it so nice to have guilt free sewing time with no cooking, cleaning or general chores to do, it’s not very often that it happens and I know we are so lucky to have some time away from home to indulge but equally it’s just so nice and such a treat. Love all your makes they are gorgeous x
Hi Anne! It was the best weekend! And you’re right it’s such a treat!!! It was a complete insurance! It was just wonderful! I’m glad you got to go on one too this year!! Thanks so much for watching and commenting, glad you enjoyed!
Wow such a lot of sewing, I love sewing retreats three friends and I went on one recently and made pyjamas it was great, love all of your makes looking forward to Festive Friday Sews xx
Hi Rachel, I like your little ornaments you've made. I'm glad you had a great time at your social last week. We had a social 2 weeks ago at church and it was great.
Thank you for sharing your experiences from the retreat, Rachael! Loved hearing about everything you have been up to. That Russac (sp?) sweatshirt is gorgeous!
Hi Rachael, I made some similar crochet stars a few years ago and made a garland from them. I still drag it out every year 🥰 Oh it was so wonderful to hear about your retreat and I am so envious of you all meeting up and just sewing. Can't believe you made so much! So funny that you ended up with some Tula, yes Adam is a great enabler for that 😂 Wonderful makes as always and the sweatshirt you are wearing looks so Wintery and cosy ❤. That puppy on the tote bag 🥰, it's adorable. Thanks so much for sharing x
Picked up some fabric today that made me think of you... A green jersey with pink Christmas balls and flamingoes. I will be making a turtleneck to pair with jeans or a green skirt over the holiday season
What a wonderful weekend away Rachael, I had the best time with you all! You were so productive and have been sewing even more since you got home! Have a lovely weekend x
Tania it was so wonderful! It was great to spend time with you again! Wouldn’t it be so great to do it all again!!! I’ve been sewing up a storm.. as usual 😉 have a great weekend xxx
Rachael I have been making aprons for my friends and family for Christmas, those that bake and cook anyway. I’ve made them 2 each, a festive one and a general one. I’ve loved matching all the fabrics to their personalities, contrast fabric for pockets, belts and neck band, adding some binding, using some embroidery stitches on my machine, and just had a lovely time sewing them, I’ve counted and I’ve made 12 in total! 🧵✂️🪡
I love your grey batwing shirt, fits so well, will have a look on the pattern. I sewed for the first time a book cushion, thanks to you, so good idea, I m kooking forward how it will be received. Thanks for your sharing !
Loved watching your video Rachael and it made me smile a lot. It’s already a week ago which seems impossible! You did well to do all that sewing 😊 was so good to see you again and hope we can meet up again soon xxx
Thank you so much for another lovely vlog, I had my coffee and a piece of chocolate fudge cake 😋and I sat feeling very happy while again you took me to my happy sewing place with lots of inspiration and ideas 😃x
After watching your channel for quite a while now I have finally fallen down the zipper pouch rabbit hole. I wonder if you would be kind enough to let me know if you interface your pouches and if so what do you use. I have made just one at the moment with some iron on ‘low loft’ fleecy fabric but feel it’s a little too spongy. What do you recommend.? Thank you. I love watching all your makes everything always looks so professional. Many thanks. C.
Oh I’m so delighted! I love making zipper pouches!! I hope you’re having fun! So I find it totally depends on the fabric whether I interface or not. If it’s quilting cotton usually not unless I’m making a bag that I really want to stand up. Some cottons are much sturdier than others. Then I make some out of canvas which doesn’t need to be interfaced. It’s really personal preference. If I do interface I use medium woven interfacing. I hope that helps!
