Hello Alex
So glad you are back
It's quite a transition to go to a empty nest so no apology needed with getting everyone moved settled
You needed to spend your time with your family
What a lovely surprise for you moving your sewing space
Can't wait for the tour
You did a fabulous job with the plaid top
I looked at some plaids last time I was getting fabrics and now I know that I need to go back and purchase some
Looking forward to seeing you again can't wait to see what you are sewing next
Take care
God bless you
Honestly I wasn’t expecting to be as affected by the kids going as I have been, I’m sure the benefits will emerge soon 😁. Thanks for your lovely comment, I’m just hoping for some shelves to be put up and then I’ll do a little tour ❤️❤️❤️
So nice to see you back again Alex! You have been busy making some lovely things. I love your blouse. Nice shaping and pattern matching :) Your jeans with your sneakers perfectly align with your high, youthful energy and colour. I haven't been sewing as much as I think I will. I guess that means I've lost my "sew jo" as they say. There are a couple of culprits I've identified. My lifestyle, like so many others these days has shifted, I've lost 20 lb. which has triggered a massive culling. In all that activity somehow my style has changed. That has meant a complete dismantlement of my inclination to sew. I'm hoping it will return. I wander into my fabric and pattern stash seeking to stir my blood enough to get going but soon I find myself picking my book up to continue reading :)
It’s great to be back. I’ve found a good tidy of all my sewing stuff, organising patterns, fabric etc usually makes me want to get sewing again. Having said that sometimes you just have to listen to yourself and do what feel right at the time - you’ll be back at it eventually. 🥰❤️❤️❤️
Good to have you back. I went to the show at Ally Pally on sat. Really good. Enjoy Harrogate.
Thank you, I've saving up 😄
Alex, I am already scribed to your channel and I just love the blouse verison you are wearing! Yes to the newsletter!
Brilliant, thanks so much ❤️❤️
I think your Tartan shirt is very impressive. I love the style and it fits you beautifully 😊
Oh thank you!
Oh my goodness I missed you coming back!|!! Love your videos although I don't always follow trends either but I hope you don't mind I often make something that you have suggested. Welcome back and so looking forward to your future videos.
Nice to see you back, i really love your Eve top, it looks terrific on you.
Lovely to be back 😘🙏🏻❤️
I really like the shaping of your top 😃. Had a good nose at the website and Subscribed to the newsletter for more 😀
Thank you ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Glad you are back thank you for all the tips.
Return of the Queen
Thanks Jack 🤣🤣
The Evelyn blouse is lovely. You sent me to a lovely site and love their hoodie pattern
I’m also fond of their big pants, but the pair I made have been stolen by my Husband 🙄❤️
@@AlexJudgeSews 😁 they remind me of the 90's so comfy, not sure I could carry them off outside the house these days😁😁
Love the top, it looks so great in the stripe
🥰
What a gorgeous top!!!! I immediately thought Vivienne Westwood. Such beautiful style lines and fit. So glad to see you back here, glad that you are happy and well xxxx
Ahh you know how to make me smile, you’ve got to love Dame Viv ❤️
Love the pocket fabric.
Nice to have you back Alex
Thanks 🥰
Hi. Hello. Howdy. Cute top/shirt. Thank you for sharing.
Gutten abend! Thanks so much 😘
Hooray - you're back! Love your makes 🤓
🥰
Good to see you back Alex. Cashmerette have a grid on their pdfs as you say makes aligning them so easy. Love your blouse. I made the stitch bird dress in the summer after seeing yours and pondering it for a while it’s a big hit 😍😎
Ooh good I’m glad you like it, I’m waiting for the weather to get a little colder so I can wear mine with tights 😁❤️
Mmm nice! Would you wear a roll neck top under it? My version was for a summer wedding so an only one season make, but I’ve got some needlecord do you think that would work?
In awe of your pattern matching across the front and back!
Thanks, I’m pretty pleased with myself 😁❤️
Glad to see that you're back!
ahhh thank you ❤❤
That blouse is fabulous and is very flattering
Love the colour of your top! I always think of tartan as looking Christmas's and plaids not so. Yours looks likd a plaid in that vain. But I suspect plaid I acc just a term used by some people or in some countries and tartan is used in others? I'll have to go anf look it up now 😂. Anyway, Great to see you on tube again! Look forward to seeing what else you've been sewing and to seeing your new sewing room xx
It’s heartening to know there’s not a straight answer to the question and it’s not just me being dense 😂. I’m inspired look it up too now ❤️❤️
Good to see you back Alex 😁
🥰
You pattern match like a boss!
😊😘
Glad to have yo u back😊
🥰
Hello Alex, love your perfect pattern matching. Your new shirt fits you beautifully! Thank you for the giveaway.
Thank you! 😊
Great to see (and hear) you back - I missed you! Plaid is an American term for tartan or check fabric that isn’t a specific clan tartan. They usually use the term tartan only when referring to a clan weave. A plaid is a large square of tartan worn over the shoulder and pinned. Can be worn by pipers, drummers, highland dancers or women who want to wear their clan tartan.
I would have loved to chat on clubhouse if the time differences were better. I got quite excited about it as a platform but haven’t really had time to get into it properly.
Ahhh I should have known you would know! !
Hooray Alex you’re back. Your suggestions are great for me - similar shape and a bit older so much more realistic. Hope we’re going to see you regularly again now.
Thanks Liz, I’m aiming to stick around 😁🙏🏻❤️
I LOVE your top! Great style, interesting details, fun fabric, perfect matching, and looks great on you. 😍
Thank you so much!
Hey Alex - how lovely to see you!
Fab top, you look great in red.
💜
It’s good to be back lovely 🥰
Interesting top! Love your plaid, it looks fabulous! Can't wait to see your sewing space!
Thank you, just persuading someone to put some shelves up for me this weekend 🤞🏻
Fabulous shirt Alex and lovely to see you back ! I signed up ,but yikes they are expensive, around $33 Australian dollars for a PDF pattern, Bridget R
Yep there’s a big difference in sewing pattern pricing lots are similar to Stokx, The Assembly Line is one I can think of off the top of my head, but then others can be half the price. I don’t know too much about it really, but on our Clubhouse chat Lindy was explaining that it costs a lot to produce as a one woman business.
@@AlexJudgeSews yes I have no doubt a lot of work goes in to the pattern production and I would pay a high price for a paper pattern, but a PDF that then has to be downloaded and assembled probably not, I am probably just being picky 🤗 Bridget R
Love this top
Welcome back Alex! I love the shirt - it really suits you 😍❤️
Thanks Lynne, took a while to get my act together 😁❤️❤️
Love to see you back, missed you. The blouse is gorgeous really suits you.
Ahhh thanks Lorraine 🙏🏻❤️
Welcome back 🤗
Thank you! 😁
Ahhh... so lovely to catch up with you again Alex 😁... I've missed your chats 🙏. Loving your shirt and like you mentioned.. great pattern matching at the front 👌. Your jeans look fab too 👍, and what a game changer those jeans buttons are... I've always worried about using jeans buttons..to the point of them putting me off giving jeans a go..so this might push me into it at last 😉 😁💝😘
Thanks Sally, give them a try they’re soooo much easier. I was concerned they might dig a bit, but not a problem or maybe I just have plenty of padding 😁❤️❤️
Lovely to see you back. Glad you enjoyed your break.
Ooh thank you, it’s lovely to be back 😊
Welcome back Alex and congratulations on your brilliant pattern matching! Tartan is a sub group of plaid in that they are a plaid associated with a clan and are named. I think there's even an official body that keeps track of tartans and can say yae or nae to new ones. Being married to a Scot I also know that a plaid can also be a garment similar to a wrap/cloak. I'm off to watch that jean fitting video now as I'm really struggling with my first pair of Ginger's!
Brilliant, thank you so much Julie, I probably should have asked my wicked stepfather who’s a Scot he’d have put me right 😁. Good luck with the Gingers, once you get a fit you’re happy with they’re great ❤️❤️
Oooh I love a new pattern designer. The blouse looks very nice.
Also good on you for taking the time off you needed ☺️
Thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️
Welcome back! Great to visit with you with my Saturday morning coffee. I headed right over to Stokx patterns, great find.
Am I the only one who still loves skinny jeans? 😂
No, hang onto them if you love them, loads of people do. I resisted them for a long time because I was never convinced they suited me so am glad to say goodbye for a while 😁❤️❤️
Ha! I will never give them up.
That blouse pattern is one of the best I've seen, such a unique style and would suit so many fabrics in my stash. Your jeans look perfect on you. I do like that there are so many options with jeans, we can wear the style that we like and suits our bodies. Personally I have always preferred a boot cut. I am planning on making a pair of wide legged jeans soon. I found some denim in the stash that needs to be used. I am quite envious you are going to a sewing show. Due to covid there aren't any sewing shows in Toronto Ontario this year or last year. Maybe in 2022 if we are lucky. Enjoy empty nesting! My husband and I have been empty nesters quite a few times over the last 20 or so years. Five years ago my 35 year old son moved home for 3 weeks which turned into 5 years! He moved out a few weeks ago and I quickly took my back my sewing room. So happy to see you back.
I’m under no illusions and suspect they’ll be back on and off, the oldest was gone for two years and then back for 18minths due to covid which was lovely for us, but I suspect not so much for her 😂. I’m envious of your access to Blackbird fabrics over there, my brother in law is in Canada and I wonder if he’d be happy for me to place an order shortly before his next UK trip! Personally I’m glad to see the back of skinny jeans, I always felt I looked like a parsnip in them 🤣❤️❤️❤️
@@AlexJudgeSews oh you should definitely order the fabric and have your brother in law bring it to you. My son's friend lives in Liverpool and I'm so tempted to order some fabric from Beyond The Pink Door and have it sent to him so he can bring it to Canada next time he comes home.
Your shirt looks fab .That fabric really suits you .
Thank you so much 🥰
So pleased to see you back on RUclips! I do absolutely love your videos
Thank you so much Janice, that’s so kind of you 🥰
Gorgeous top Alex. Love the opportunity to get the fit 👌 style and comfort 🙌
Comfort is Queen ❤️❤️❤️
Great to see you back! I couldn’t stop admiring your pattern matching, very impressive. You look fab
Thank you 🙏🏻❤️❤️
Glad you’re back, I’ve missed seeing your channel! Love the blouse.
That’s so kind, thank you ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Love, love, love that shirt on you and excited to make one and a jacket. Bought the sister pack! Thank you for another lovely video!
Ooh thank you, do let me know how you get on ❤️❤️
So good to see you again! Love the top and jeans. Stoxx is new to me and I'll give them a good look.
It’s lovely to be back 😁❤️
It's lovely to see you again and you are looking fabulous! I love the style lines of the blouse, combined with the plaid it is really flattering. I love a flare jean but honestly my legs are my best feature since my waist has disappeared. Gen Z will have to pry my skinny jeans from my cold dead hands lol.
Yep, you do you - I took a long time to get my head around skinny jeans in the first place so I’m happy to ditch them, I’m not convinced they’re the best shape for me, but if they were I’d do the same as you 😘
Went to my subscriptions and "Oh! It's Alex! Alex is back! Woo-hoo!" Love the top, you look wonderful in it. And all this chat makes me want to just go and sew! ❤️
😂 did I mention I sent my machine to be serviced, so no sewing for another few days 😱. I’m dying to get back into it too ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
@@AlexJudgeSews I have the guy come to my house now to service my machine as I always had more sew jo when it was at the shop.
So happy to see a video from you today 🙂
Ahhh Megan ❤️❤️❤️❤️
We use Tartan in the US only to describe Celtic clan plaids.😂 every other plaid Is . . . plaid. I never heard tartan used to describe cotton plaids etc until I moved to the EU.
Absolutely love your red plaid top.
Maybe I should ask my Scottish step father, I’m sure he’ll have a view 😁❤️
Lovely shirt, love a good plaid shirt ❤️ and the jeans look fab! Happily subscribed to you already but have now signed up for the newsletter from Stokx Patterns, thanks for showing your makes 😊👍🏻
Thanks Helen ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Great as always 😘😉
🥰
Love the patterns! Those blue jean buttons are amazing! I will have to get some of those. Thank you for the tip.
Kind of cheating, but who cares 😂❤️
The grid system is unique with Lindys patterns. I loved you reviewing her patterns. Your blouse looks really lovely.
Thank you so much for introducing her to us Astrid 😘
Terrific to see you again. I love that blouse and I’m ordering it right now! It’s my Spring so perfect for now. X
Ahh yes, perfect 👍🏻
Love, love that top. Great color. You've inspired me to take a whack at plaid matching. Here in the US plaid is probably a more commonly used term. Unless it is specific, Royal Stewart, Black Watch, etc.
Yes, I think it’s probably a US term and we watch so much US tv that it all sinks in 😁.
Really like the new shirt pattern, and its flattering lines. That red plaid you chose looks smashing with your hair!
Thanks Karen ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I’m planning on making my first gingers this year - and your video is very helpful . I keep chickening out - so now I’ve told you I’ll have to xx
I’m off to Ally Pally next week - have a great time- it’s so exciting to see sewers again.
Did I imagine it or aren’t you in the NE? Not jealous of a trip to Ally Pally at all 😬❤️
@@AlexJudgeSews I’m a Londoner living in Hertfordshire- grew up in Crouch End very trendy now, not in my youth 60 odd years ago! So going to Ally Pally feels like going home 🤣🤣🤣 and even better meeting up with my tap dancing/ sewing pals ( sadly Covid put pay to the classes) and seeing and chatting with sewers.its so exciting isn’t it xx
Hey, welcome back! Lovely to see you again. That shirt is beautiful and really suits you…….I’m heading off to check out Lindy’s website 👍😃
Thanks so much Yasmin ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Love that top, it looks fab on you 😊
Thanks ❤️❤️
Love your top
Thank you 🙏🏻❤️
I had put my craftsy reminder on my phone . Did you suggest that last year lol? Anyway, they don’t make it easy. You don’t seem to be able to do it from the account or email and they want you to ring a number (but don’t give the international code). Seems like there are a few barriers to cancelling! Rant complete! Your shirt is gorgeous and the trousers are so cool and trendy. Glad you are back.
I sent an email, maybe I was lucky! The payment I agreed was declined this week because the card on file had expired, then I received an email offering $1.99 so I used that link and set it up again - bargain!
@@AlexJudgeSews that’s brilliant. An email worked for me too and I will look for a link like that too!
Thanks you Alex, it is lovely to see you back. I missed your impeccable style and creativity. I took your advice last year and joined Craftsy for a song. Aware that it would soon be running out I have spent quite some time in the past few weeks bingeing😊😊. We are in our sixth lockdown in Melbourne so it has been very helpful to get me through. Enjoy your empty next status😊 Fleur
Wow six lockdowns! Sounds mentally exhausting ❤️❤️. I’ve got into crochet in the last year and I believe there some new crochet content on Craftsy which is what encouraged me to keep my membership.
Ok I'll check them out (my daughter loves to crochet so might show her too).
How did you manage to unsubscribe? I’m a bit cross they have only given a phone number.
So I haven't managed to unsubscribe☹️ and they have sent notification that I now have another year's subscription. I obviously missed the deadline! Will try to determine what went wrong for me, but actually I have learned such a lot from these classes that I am happy to continue. I particularly like Pam Howard, Pamela Leggatt, and Sandra Betzina (and any class that helps with fabric choices and fabric and pattern matching).
I hope that you resolve your issue.
Regards Fleur
@@gaylehegarty9161 unfortunately you have to actually call them to unsubscribe 🤨😒 frustrating, I know!!
Hi Alex great to see you - have missed you and your sewing 😘 Hope you are coping with the empty nest - they’ll be back soon xx
It’s very quiet Marilyn, but a lot tidier 😁
@@AlexJudgeSews it’s weird and takes some getting used to- and just when you think you’ve cracked it they are back! 🤣🤣
Hi Alex love watching your channel. I'm all the way over at the top of Australia. Love the top you made and particularly your pattern matching. Do you think you might one time show us how you get such great pattern matching? Kind regards Kaaren
Thanks Kaaren, it’s on my list 😁❤️
Following and signed up. October 15th is my birthday does that help ? Love your shirt x
😂😂
Probably a silly question but...as a long-time subscriber of yours I have now signed up for the Stokx newsletter but am wondering how they will know that I am from your channel...is there something else I need to do to connect my RUclips name to my email address please??
Not a daft question, Lindy will have analytics on her website that’ll show you’ve been here ❤️❤️❤️
Have you taken any Craftsy classes? I signed up at the bargain rate. I don’t find any classes I am interested in that are free. What about you?
Yes loads of them, I love anything from Kenneth D King, Pam Howard's classic shirt class is the one that got me into making shirts and sew your own pants/knickers ones are great, the tutor is Beverly something. I'm keen to get going with the pattern drafting classes next.
Good to see you back. Love that blouse I will investigate that designer. My friend and I have booked the Knitting and Stitching Show for Friday, sorry that we won't be meeting up, Hope that we do again one day. Thanks for doing these videos.
It’s such a shame that we won’t be there on the same day Christine, I’m sure we’ll cross paths again sometime 😘
@@AlexJudgeSews Hopefully,x
😃

Hi Alex 😘 great to see you back on RUclips 😁 Thankyou for sharing all the things - you look amazing in them👌 Enjoy your day at the Knitting and Stitching Show 😉 🛒 🛍 💰
@aloadofbobbins
Great to be back, thanks lovely 🥰
I mean I’m a bit older than you by the way 🤣🤣
😂
No difference at all. Plaid is the American term for tartan.
Aaaaaaah the penny drops 😊❤️❤️❤️
