Was so good to see the roundup like this Gabrielle! How lucky are we to have so many people joining in the challenge. Like you said, I wish we could have given every single person a prize 🎉
Thanks so much to you, Gabrielle, and to Ruan, for this very inspirational challenge. I have lots to follow up on. Enjoy your well-deserved break. And anytime you feel like a break from sewing on RUclips it would be fun to have a tour of your bookshelves. I love the combination ofcookbooks and classics, and was very intrigued by all the titles I couldn't read. ❤
HI Eileen! Thank you so much for your kind words. It means a lot to both of us. As for the bookshelves 😆 . . . The setting is a bit of a 'needs must' due to too much noise when I'm in other locations, but I do like the backdrop. I love my books, and I'm a cookbook collector. 😍🥰
Thanks for a wonderful wrap up to an excellent challenge Gabrielle, I’m not surprised you and Ruan are feeling tired 😮 over 1000 entries 👏👏 Inspiring makers we get to enjoy from all over the globe ❤
Awww, that's lovely of you Hayley! I have so many vlogs to catch up on. Loved your blouses (especially the one with the double ruffle around the neckline!). A bit tired but feeling good this morning🥰. I have a full day of jobs to get through, but where to start? 😆
Fabulous episode Gabrielle 🥳🥳 All the winning Blouses were fantastic and sew inspiring. I, like you would like to check out some of these patterns. You have done an amazing job again Gabrielle, hopefully you can take a small breath before your next project. Love your work 🥳🥳
I love blouses, so it was very inspiring to see all those winners. I'm very inspired by the embroidery and the patchwork blouse. Thank you for giving your time to showcase all those entry's.
Well done on another #sewaprilblouse Gabrielle. Thank you to Ruan also. You both clearly had some difficult decisions to make! I have enjoyed following along with the hashtag throughout April and watching the summary of winners. Congrats to winners 🎉Enjoy a well earned break :)
Thank you Leah! It was a busy month, but we're thrilled with the enthusiasm for the challenge. I can't wait to get a bit of sewing time and explore more blouses 😍
Thank you Gabrielle and Ruan for an excellent wrap up, and all your work behind the scenes is much appreciated. Love your bookshelf, it’s so orderly and I spy some great titles. Linda x
Hi Linda! I'm glad you enjoyed it. We loved your blouses. The lounge room (with bookcase) It is proving to be a good backup location when my studio and courtyard are too noisy 😍. Gabrielle x
Thanks for the explanation behind the decisions. I found a few quite boring on first glance but your thought process let me see them in a new light. Great contest. And I now also have two new blouses inspired by the challenge 👏👏
Really enjoyed all the blouses, got me sewing and entering! I'll definitely do it again. Lots of inspiration for future makes. Thanks for organising and encouragement.
Do the blouses have to specifically be from blouse patterns? Im having to scale patterns, and so far only have dress patterns, but would like to plan for next year.
I wonder why you call Ruan Ruarn?? I follow her also and she pronounces her name as Ru anne. I’m sure it’s not your Aussie accent. I don’t mean to be critical and she’s probably too polite to say anything.

Absolutely! You can do whatever you want 😁.👌

I'm terribly sorry about that. I will try better to get that right. I thought I was saying it correctly but I must be wrong. 🤐
Sharon are you the name police. Get over yourself you are being rude. Fellow Aussie here. Gabrielle has been very generous with her time and fabric's
