All of them look very flattering on you
@rsplatt100 thank you 😊
All your makes are lovely….fabric is gorgeous…!! 😊🇦🇺
Thank you very much 😊
Lovely pattern choices and the same for the fabrics. Beautiful and great sense of style.
Thank you so much! 😃
The upcycle blouse was soooo much better and looks fabulous on you! What an improvement. All the blouses are really lovely. I'm very happy you explained how you narrowed the neck on the first top. I have the same issue all the time. Thanks!
Thank you very much 😊
Your makes are lovely. I love the one with the Peter Pan collar ❤
Thank you 😊
Lovely makes🎉
Thank you 😊
Watching this in Australia 🇦🇺 great sewing 😊❤
Thank you! 😊
Very nice, thank you!
Thank you too!
Absolutely love all the tops xx❤️❤️❤️❤️
@paularoberts2129 thank you 😊
I really loved the different tops and all the different fabrics too. Good to see all they’re all New Look and Simplicity patterns as well.
@@trishsh5007 Thank you very much 😊
Your makes are beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
All five tops look great on you! I tend to mainly sew indie patterns but have a selection of big 4 ones so perhaps time to give them a go.
Thank you 😊 do you find Indie patterns fit better?
I can’t believe the price of fabric either and I’m from East of England! Great choices. They really suit you!
Thank you, I love a bargain ☺️
Lovely to see you back! so enjoy your tutorials, the tops look good on you I will have to try the one or two of them 😊
Thanks so much, glad you like them x 😊
Love your fabric and pattern choices! 😊 thank you for sharing! Your up-cycle is beautiful!
Thank you! 😊
I just saw your channel. I enjoyed watching. Your blouses are lovely. I own three of your patterns, the 1st three in fact. I now have an idea on what they look like sewn.
Thank you, glad to be of help 😊
I made M6960 and it was huge, with baggy neck and armacye. Your viscose drapes so beautifully. I’m going to make it, again, someday, but I’ll size down and raise the neckline. Love the crossover version, but it takes a lot of fabric. Really cute tops! 😊-Deborah
Thank you, yes I think M6960 is oversized 🙂
Isn’t it amazing how you can be a very experienced sewer and you can sew the sleeve to the neck by mistake. Ha ha. Greetings from Sydney 🦘
@sweetcharlotte2286 Hello to you! Wow I reach far and wide, thank you so much for watching 🇬🇧 🇦🇺 x
Some really great tops, lovely additions to your summer wardrobe.
Thanks so much! 😊
Beautiful blouses!
Thank you! 😊
Amazing patterns and makes. You really nailed them!!. Welcome back 😊
Thank you so much ❤️
Great fabrics. Loved them all!
Thanks so much! 😊
Beautiful blouses…well done Wendy….ive a couple of the patterns will now try. ❤😊
Glad I could be of help 😁
Your fabric choices are beautiful. You chose lovely styles and it was nice to see them made up! It has been very hot where I live, over 32 degrees C practically every day for most of the summer.
Thank you! 😊
I wouldn't be able to cope in constant heat like that, it's been quite overcast today, and I really enjoyed it! 😁
Lovely garments. I have Simplicity 9295 and it is great to see it made up as I haven’t sewn it yet. Love your channel 🧵 🪡 🦘
Thank you so much! 😀🐾🐈⬛
I totally love that you unpicked and resewed the Simplicity blouse, Wendy - the old version didn’t suit you, I thought, and the new one looks amazing! I’m going through a phase myself of assessing what I actually wear in my wardrobe and what I look at and put back. Those last I’m going to gift (to deserving friends!) even though they are handmade. Then I have space for future makes I’ll like better! Thanks for your video! X
Thank you! Yes I'm so pleased I took the plunge, got the scissors out, chopped up the original blouse and made a far better suited blouse. Deffo go through your wardrobe and have a clear out and have fun filling it back up again x
Love your new makes. Makes me happy to see others on a me made wardrobe. I too am reevaluating my wardrobe. Other the typical fit issues that we all find in garments I couldn’t figure out why I started over heating in the majority of my clothes. Finally I pinned it down to the fabric content. I can’t wear synthetic fibers anymore. I’ve started the process of making my own wardrobe out of all natural fibers. Good luck on future makes.
I agree, being a lady of a certain age I'm always hot! 🥵
Hi Wendy 👋 , lovely makes I like all the colours and styles , I know what and where that blouse would of ended up 😂😂 a pat on the back for undoing and remaking it giving it new life ❤ enjoyed the vlog 😊thanks for sharing take care lovely lady xx
@jennyallan8794 Hi Jenny, oh I did think of binning it, but being the tenacious bird I am, I wasn't going to let it beat me 😁 x
@@wendysdelights I knew you would say that !! 😂😂😂 xx
I’m totally jealous of the prices of your fabrics. I’ve never seen anything that inexpensive in the US. And they are so pretty
It's funny, because I watch videos from the US and I'm jealous of how cheap your sewing patterns can be. Did Joanne's have a pattern sale of $1? Our patterns are £10 upwards, so I only ever buy them when they are half price. I do love a bargain.
@@wendysdelights I’m not sure about Joann’s sale. I need to check that out! 10 pounds is a lot for a pattern but I haven’t sewn in a while so I don’t know what they’re running
Love your tops. I always have the same issues with wide necks and adding to hips.
I think pattern makers think if you've got a big tum/bum your neck is proportionately as big lol! x
Great tops. Esp like the last 2. You didn't say what you were wearing, colour is great on you.
Thank you and thank you for noticing the blouse I'm wearing which is make from viscose fabric bought from Immanuel Fabrics, and the pattern is Threadcount Pattens TC1907, which was gifted to me. See my video here showing it off... ruclips.net/video/pJXtoLh48Xw/видео.htmlsi=AlVH4A6CJIxcYz54
I had to add fisheye darts to the shirt too 😊
Now I've done fish eye darts a couple of times, I love the way it turns a blouse into a better shape x
I love all the blouses. Can’t believe you make big sizes you only look small. Do the patterns come up small?
Thank you! I find Burda is small. I'm a UK size 18 on top so I always make my first attempt a size bigger, easier to reduce and size down than go up. I'm still learning and hopefully getting better results.
I really enjoy your videos! I like ALL of the patterns that you choose and the fabrics are SPOT ON!!
I really hate to see you struggle with the fit. My suggestion, learn how to make a full bust adjustment.
So, picture your upper bust with no boobs…..you are tiny!!
Measure around yourself with the tape under your arm pits, just above your boobs. Use this measurement to choose your bust size then make a full bust adjustment to fit “the girls” then you can grade out below the bust to fit your hips.
I know this is time consuming to learn
but it will prevent you spending time correcting fit issues.
There are many tutorials on RUclips. If you have trouble learning FBA reach out to another sewist I’m sure someone will be happy to help you!
❤😊
Thank you! Yes I really must watch FBA videos and be brave enough to attempt it, it will make all the difference x
Done that sewing issue too?? lol
@@Sally-ih6ls I was so annoyed with myself, I hope I never make that mistake again
Hi. I’ve only just found your channel. Am loving what I’ve seen up-to now but may I suggest you don’t cover your face when you’re talking please. Love all the blouses.
Thanks for the tip! 😊
