Your Holland Park Dress fits you perfectly. It's easy to tell how much you like it. That fabric is beautiful! Well done. I was also a sit-up-and-wait mama when I had teenagers. No sneaking in at all hours on my watch!. LOL! Nothing put my mind at ease before bed like hearing that front door open.
I am loving your idea. There was a saying for brides to wear, that went like this. "Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue." Similar to what you are thinking. Maybe we can change it slightly for sewing plans. "Fabric old, fabric new, fabric swapped, fabric due".
Love it! Something old, something new, something borrowed and something I need to sew! 😂 Definitely going to give this a go! Borrowed could be an alteration, adjustment as I don't get to swap fabric!
It's not the weekend until I've watched WhatBecSews Friday Sews! I'll be sewing up some Nani Iro Basic Blouses from the Nani Iro Sewing Studio book. These will be plains (hot fushia, dark brown, and robin's egg blue). Then I have some really fun prints to sew up!
So happy for you that you are getting your own crafting space. I couldn’t swing a lettuce in mine but it’s not the size that matters; it will be all yours x
Hi Becky. Love your vlog as usual. Love the Holland Park dress. That last fabric you’ve been scared to cut is stunning! I made thewest cliff dress after you mentioned it last week. I love how it turned out. I decided against doing the bottom tier, but really glad you said about doing the smaller cup . I am about the same size as you with my bust and it fitted really well. ❤
A great vlog Becky. You have some gorgeous fabric there. I've just got the Sagebrush pattern, and I'm deciding on my fabric. I look forward to seeing all your finished garments ❤😊
Love the makes. The fabric looks great too. I am still in winter looking at patterns I can sew up for spring and summer including a swimwear pattern ( Megan Neilsen), a vintage co-ord set in rust rayon, and maybe a cotton floral long pant Vogue jumpsuit pattern.
What beautiful fabrics and plans! Thanks so much for sharing! I’m hoarding Liberty Tana lawn cos I’m too scared to cut into it and lacking inspiration so was very interested to see what you’ve been making. You look amazing in those dresses! Enjoy your weekend xx
Love your vlogs no matter how long or short they are! Don't know how you fit in all the things that you do in your busy lifestyle. The Holland Park dress is so your style x
Thank you for another great vlog! Always enjoy seeing your makes, beautiful fabrics you share with us & pattern plans. I am down to my last 3 WIP’s 😊 then plan to do some batch cutting of fabrics & patterns. Happy Sewing 🪡 🧵
OMG. Not watched yet but have to see what you thought of Holland Park. I’ve nearly finished mine but not enjoyed making it at all. Really fiddly channelling, my fabric frayed and broke in the waist channel when. I put the elastic in. When I tried it on, husband said it was like a milkmaid; I said, yeh that’s what it’s supposed to be like but he definitely implied it was frumpy! I actually liked the look of it but I really didn’t enjoy the process, it was so long winded and time consuming and fiddly and I wasn’t impressed with the clarity of some of the instructions. The channels looked evenly spaced in the pattern but mine didn’t turn out even …(they look ok though(. I’m wondering if I can make the channelling process easier by sewing one channel piece for the top two and just sewing lines to make the channels?
I totally agree with you, I had issues with mine too, love the finished look but all that channeling was a pain, I too feel there could be an easier way to do it x

I’m so pleased you like the pattern and my tips helped - I have only ever made one without the tier, I must make another ❤️

Gorgeous makes the fabric you used for the Nina Lee dress is stunning can you recall were you purchased it from? Xx
I bought it from Abakhan fabrics, they didn’t have any online when I last checked though x
Where did you purchase the fanric for the green dress
Abakhan fabrics lovely but they didn’t have it in stock last time I checked x
Ok, thanks I enjoy your videos and wish I could sew like you, I have problems with the sizing and i don't have s serger

Bias binding for the channels and measuring the lines I think are my tips. I really liked it and thought the instructions were good 🙈 sorry x
Thank you x
Never be afraid of fabric 😂
