Love the gold fabric 🤩
Loving all the fabrics 🤩
Thank you!
Really love the centre seam on the vests 🤩
Yes thanks, i think I’ll include that on all future vests!! 🥰
@@sewsarahstyle you definitely should, it elevates it xxx
Thankyou so much for your review of the Tessuti top, as I've just bought the patter, I'm not a confident sewing so I found your comments really helpful..Thanks again.😊
Ooh I’m so pleased!! My advice would be definitely toile it in as close a fabric type to the real fabric as possible! Happy sewing and hope you enjoy it as much as I love mine. 🥰
Your bag making fabrics are really lovey. I like to line bags with a lighter fabric, I find it is easier to find things that are in the bag that way. I think your "Shrek" vest looks very cool. I like the new style line down the front and the necklace really elevates it. The vests will definitely keep you warm this season. Thanks for sharing.
Ah thank you, that’s a great tip about the bag lining, I’m not sure I’ll find anything in amongst the wild stripes I’ve used for this bag! 😂. Thank you so much for your lovely comments. x
Love your video. Thank you for sharing. I love your best.
Ah thank you!! 🥰
You will get obcessed with bagmaking, it’s such fun and a perfect way to use up scraps! I have made lots of bags for my small company which focuses on using preloved fabrics or scraps. I’m completely self taught, RUclips has been my best companion ☺️ I always use zips by the meter and cut it to the right length. To save some money on hardwear you can have a look for cheap bags in charity shops and chop of the bits.
Ooh that’s such a fab idea thank you!! I’ll bet you can get some really interesting and unusual bits of hardware from old bags - will definitely be checking this idea out thank you! 🤩
Love the top Sarah and yes sometimes you have to play around with how to wear them. Also your journey on fitting, was similar to a sleeveless top I tried to make this summer…the pattern said takes one hour! A day and a half later I got there, lots of adjustments needed ,but what a learning curve.😊
Ah yes there’s usually a lesson to be learnt in every sewing project! 🫣😂. Glad you got there in the end, and hopefully if you make it again, it will only take one hour!! Thank you. x
The Amara vest is on my all list of goodies to make. This video was extremely helpful for what to expect, and ideas to make it work out in the end. Thanks 🙂
Ah that’s great to hear!! Just keep tweaking until you’re happy would be my advice!! 😄
The vests turned out great! I love the center seam 😊
Thank you!! Yes I definitely prefer it with the seam for interest. A happy accident!! 😂
Will try the Amara vest again after seeing your versions, mine did get chucked after trying to take it in but your perseverance has paid off. Just made the Bestie and you can cut a zipper to suit whatever size you need, its a great pattern.
😂 that has made me laugh. Mine was also perilously close to the bin 🫣😂. Try again!! It’s worth it! Yes I’ve made the Bestie and cut the zipper and oh my word I love it!!! 😍
Thanks so much for a fab vlog for sewupcycle! I’m making the bestie bag too, can’t wait to see your version. Love your tops! I actually prefer it with the seam down the middle, it lifts it somewhat xx
Thanks Karen! It’s such a fab pattern isn’t it? There will definitely be more! 🧡
I love it! I need a couple of these vests
Yes they are so handy, perfect for this time of year and just to change an outfit up! 🥰
The Amara vest really suits you & I love how you’ve styled them 🥰
Oh thank you Claire! It’s such a good top to throw on, especially with the Bobs! 🥰
I love how your Amara looks Sarah. I have recently made it & have worn over an oversized shirt (Ellsworth, Merchant & Mills). Going to try another one in fleece or boiled wool.
Ah thank you! Yes I definitely feel like I need to make a shirt now as they look great over shirts 🥰
I’ve just bought the Noodlehead Haralson Belt Bag pattern. It’s a cross body bag. Plan to start that soon, hopefully. I’ve seen some faux leather on Temu which I plan to buy with a gift card. They also have lots of bag accessories. Love the idea of curtain material.
Ah yes I’ve been admiring that pattern! It’s definitely on my list of wants to make! 🥰😂
Great makes and ideas and yet again you have influenced me and I will head off and purchase the tessuti pattern ..😊
Oops sorry! 🫣😂. You will love it I’m sure! I’m hoping to make another one today 😂.
I have made a couple of the Amari tops and love them! I have added a collar to a jersey one. Considering making a couple to give as Christmas presents in boiled wool ❤
Ooh that sounds interesting, do you have an instagram page to see the jersey one with collar? Sounds fab! Yes I think they would make great presents as long as the sizing is correct! 🫣😂
@@sewsarahstyleyes it is handmadebysue01 I think I will also think about cutting down the middle as mine are quite wide😂
Love that stripey fabric on your ironing board 😊
Ah thank you!! 😄
John Lewis ironing board! 😀
@@sewsarahstyle Thanks. I meant the folded up striped fabric folded up on your left 😊
🤦♀️😂😂😂
Love the layering pieces! Did you try the Mona vest by Fibre Mood already? I think you could like it as well - it’s one of my faves 🥰
Oh my goodness, no I hadn’t seen it, I love it!!! Going to have to make a purchase now!! I was going to make another Amara, but it will have to be a Mona!! 🫣🤦♀️😂😂😂
@@sewsarahstyle 😂😂 it’s so good, isn’t it? I made my latest version in the cable knit jersey that was everywhere last year and I looove it 💪🏼😍 glad I could influence you 😂
@@itssewtanschi😂 thank you for your influence 😅. I’ll go and check yours out now. ❤️
Sarah is it an exposed seam up the middle...love it!😊
Yes I prefer it with the seam, thank you! ☺️
Hiya! Love your plans and makes. Do you remember which video it is in which you talk through your Naya neckline hack?
Hi. Thank you!! It was the vlog where I made the kangaroo pyjamas! 😂. About 8 or 9 vlogs back talking about using my favourite patterns to make loungewear. Hope that helps!
Love your Amara, I think I have the pattern and am awaiting some boiled wool, so your sizing intelligence is very timely. Not sure I will have the patience to cope with the alterations though🙄. Is it easy enough to get off and on Sarah? Xx
The curtain fabric with the bronze through it is fabulous and would make a gorgeous mini skirt for nights out 😉 xx
I am also a bag making newby so am waiting with baited breath to hear how you get on 👍🏻
Ah thank you so much! Just be careful not to take it in too much as the fleece one is definitely tighter to get on and off. If you make it too tight in boiled wool, you may be wearing it forever 🫣😂. Little by little was my method. I have now made the bag and spoiler alert I absolutely love it!!!! There was a great RUclips tutorial which helped so much. Reveal on the 31st October. ❤️
I took 2" off the XS and its still a bit big. It looks fine with a top underneath with statement sleeves and a nice neckline. I love the fleece version but does it not fray?
Yes I think I need some statement sleeves to go underneath, she says reaching for the sewing machine! 😂. The fleece is great as there’s no fraying at all! 🥰
@@sewsarahstyle Thank you, I will try some fleece too.
Hi Sarah! Once you make one bag, you won't want to stop! There are a lot of bag makers on RUclips, but my favorite is Jess from OklaRoots. Here is a video that might interest you where she is teaching 3 different methods to make bag straps. She is an absolute fantastic instructor from whom I have learned so much! ruclips.net/video/duNDZJk7-6E/видео.html The search portion on her channel works really well. I heard how much fun you, Cara and Angela had on your zoom call. 😄 I can only imagine their reaction to the first Amara. I love seeing how you turn patterns into garments that work for you and you are a star at accessorizing! Have fun with your crossbody bag and using those gorgeous curtain fabrics.
Ah thank you so much for this incredibly useful information, I will definitely check Jess out as I think you’re right, I have the bag bug! 🫣😂😂🥰
Hi lovely vlog. Is the tessuti pattern a pdf . Thank you
Thank you!! Yes as far as I can tell it’s only a paper pattern for some reason. It’s a shame because it’s such a lovely pattern and wouldn’t be too complicated to print out. X
@@sewsarahstyle thank you
