Fabulous makes Ruan for your holibags. I love them all! Thanks so much for putting us up for the Gathering. Twas a fab night and you were the hostess with the mostess. Loved seeing your sewing room irl❤ I hadn't noticed you had a babylock overlocker, I've got the BL Victory, which I love. I thought about trading it in for the Acclaim as it has the jet air, but didn't bother. They are a dream. Thanks for sharing as always 👌👏😻
Well it’s midday here in Nova Scotia. Just been looking at all your dress fabrics and patterns. It’s strange, but I wouldn’t have chosen any of them, until I saw you in them. I am astounded how fabulous they look on you. I don’t think they sell those patterns over here other than the fabrics. You have opened my eyes to new ideas. Thank you!
Oh that’s so lovely to hear! All the patterns I discuss on this vlog are available as PDFs so you can either print them yourself and stick together or send off to a copy shop printer 😊
I love how tickled you are with yourself and the things you create when they work out well. I'm quite like that myself, and it's so nice to share your glee.
OMG! Your garments turned out so beautiful and perfect for holidays. Hard to choose a favourite because they are all stunning, but the last one is so lush. You looked incredible wearing that dress.
That cocowawa plum dress is gorgeous on you Ruan and the red definitely suits you. One of my favorite parts are the rolled hems you did. Maybe one day...I'm sure my serger does it but I would need some extra time to learn and right now I'm just trying to babystep my way through some more makes. Glad you enjoyed your holiday. Thanks for sharing your makes. Wouldn't have had anything fancy to wear but would have had fun going to the gathering with you. xx Karen
Such a coincidence that I decided to watch this while I sew the rainbow buttons on my plum dress (that was free in a magazine) that I’m making for my holiday!!
Oh Ruan.. That red dress is absolutely beautiful on you as is the big shirt dress.. I love all of them but those 2 are my favourites.. Great job.. I'm sure everyone on your holiday was envious.. You looked amazing
Oh my goodness! You look so fabulous in all your dresses! As each one came on the screen I kept thinking, that's my favorite. I love them all on you. You have an excellent eye for patterns and fabrics that suit your body. Very well done!
There's nothing worse than wearing a sack! The 6 fits you beautifully with room and I love the rainbow hemming. So many beautiful garments. You just have a knack for teaming u the fabric and patterns beautifully. I especially LOVE the oversized shirt. I have the pattern but haven't made it yet but I think I was planning to use it as a nightshirt type thing last winter and just didn't get there. Story of my life - so many ideas and so little time. I didn't even get my sewaprilblouse made AGAIN!!!! But I am sewing now, unpicking in fact. Triple stitch topstitching that went wrong because I didn't use the walking foot because I thought I knew better - ha! Anyway, another great video and with more fantastic makes xx
Gorgeous makes Ruan, the fabrics and styles suit you so well, I don't have an overlocker and didn't realise they had a feature for making such decorative stitches, the embroidery thread was very unusual, the great thing about handmade clothes you'll never see anyone else wearing them. Beautiful wardrobe. ❤
Yes, it was me, Ruan. I really want to straighten that top. It's just my weird need for symmetry... I will watch to the end then lie down in a darkened room. Nice fabric though 😍
Wow you did so well getting all those holiday makes finished. They all look fabulous but I particularly love the Dovestone dress. Like you say that fabric is just stunning 😍. How brave are you just going for it with the buttonholes😂
You're so lovely Ruan! Such a pleasure to watch your videos. Your makes are supreme. Chef's kiss! Hey, would you consider doing buttonholes for me if I posted my make to you! 🥰😎
I just love your vlogs, Ruan!!! Your personality always shines so bright. All your makes are gorgeous! The red dress is my fav and I will definitely be making it.
Your hair looks beautiful and the dress you wore to the gathering looked absolutely stunning 🔥🔥🔥 Love the spring in London, so simple, so comfy and sexy at the same time! What's not to love? I have one cut out on my table right now. Makes a great pj top too. ❤
Thank you Ruan for a super vlog.You have been a busy bee and the results are terrific.You look so glam in your Dovestone dress and I do like your Saltwater. I have seen the instagram photo of your dress for the Gathering and it looks awesome!🌹💖🌹
You are a real talent lass, seriously you are!!! Pleeeeeease do more/some tutorials and then I might get a little smudgen (said in Northern accent) of that talent 😳😳😳 thank you !! Xx
I love that rainbow hem! So cute 😍. I got the Cocowawa Plum with a magazine a few years ago. I didn't think it would suit me, but yours looks amazing....maybe I'll give it a go. Thank you for inspiring a bit of risk taking in your sewing.
WOW you’ve done so well, I’m not sure which is my favourite but love the detail you’ve added on the red dress and the pattern matching on the pink overshirt. The silk water slip and your last dress are both dreamy, all very successful. So much more productive than me, love watching all the vlogs but not I’m not so productive. Hopefully that will change as I have some dreamy fabrics from Lady McElroy to make up❤
Fabulous makes - love the 2 pink garments. I just bought the Dovestone pattern and am going to make a maxi out of a tie dye fabric got from 1st. Your dress inspired me to make one it's so special.😎❤
Love the dress and the binding. Oooo the rainbow rolled hem is lush. Omg love the buttons. Looks fab Ruan. 🔥🔥🔥 Did the dress have other sleeve options? Wow that shirt looks so well finished. Fab look for your hols! 🔥🔥🔥
Wow all your makes are just lovely! I know this video isn’t about this month’s Beyond the Pink Door but I just received my April box #27 tonight, I’m in the US, and you are a star in the Ebook! I received the same colorway you used in the Ebook and I’m thrilled! You look amazing and you gave so many great ideas how to use the material. I can’t wait to get started but I’m still undecided what I’ll sew up with it, 🤣 ❤ take care!
Hi Ruan, all of these are so lovely. Love the pink oversized PE shirt, the pattern matching really sets it off, great job. My favourite? The last dress, with the BTPD fabric, so pretty and stuch a statement. I just love that on you. Its very classy! ❤❤
Wow, two times in the same day 😁. I got my Think Pink Box today 😉. I’m excited about that 😊. I like your Plum dress. It looks comfy and such a lovely color. Love the buttons too. I think you should wear whatever makes you happy and feels good. I like the oversized shirt too. Beautiful color and versatile too. I don’t think you need a belt unless you want one. I love the saltwater too. I have to wear a t-shirt or tank top because it’s too low for me. It’s so comfy. I love your fabric. The pattern is so pretty. Your last dress is amazing and really suits you. You can tell that you feel great in this dress and it makes you happy. Smiles say everything 😃. Thank you for sharing! Your friend Diane ❤
That Dovestone dress is stunning on you 😍 I'm so tempted to make one, but I haven't been able to solve my "how will I wear a bra with that" question yet 😄
Not as often as I used to. I think I’ve started to realise what suits my shape and how to grade patterns so they fit me better. I think that comes with time. If you don’t like them then gifting them to someone who will like them would be a lovely thing to do 🥰
I love all your makes but the cocowawa dress is so striking and looks gorgeous on you even though it's "plain." (My sweet old kitty passed away last Sunday, literally hours after I commented that she was doing well. She just went to bed and never woke up.💔)
It depends what end result you want. You can iron it if you think you’ll want to iron your finished garment. Or you can hold the iron above the fabric and steam it a bit! Hope that helps. It’s a gorgeous fabric to wear 😍

He he. Yes! Nothing better than making a garment and loving the end result 😍
Your Dovestone dress is ABSOLUTELY stunning! And I know what you mean by Greek Style dress with the ties, so beautiful 😍
Thank you so much lovely 🥰
OMG! Your garments turned out so beautiful and perfect for holidays. Hard to choose a favourite because they are all stunning, but the last one is so lush. You looked incredible wearing that dress.
Aww thank you 🤩
You absolutely smashed it with your holiday makes honey. Gorgeous gorgeous GORGEOUS xxxx
Aww thanks sweetie ♥️

The rolled hem was so much easier than I thought - definitely worth 10 minutes with your manual to work it out 👍
The blouse you are wearing looks gorgeous on you. 💖
Bright colors do you very well. 🌹🥰
Oh thank you!
Very fun red dress!!!

Ooh I think a night shirt would look fab made with this pattern!
Love all of the holiday garments you made but particularly the last dress Ruan you looks stunning in that. Hope you had a good time with the girls.😊
I did thank you 🤩
Wow beautiful makes Ruan struggling to pick a favourite just gorgeous 😍
Hope you had a great night Saturday xxxx

Wow you did so well getting all those holiday makes finished. They all look fabulous but I particularly love the Dovestone dress. Like you say that fabric is just stunning 😍. How brave are you just going for it with the buttonholes😂
Thank you Jane 🥰
Lovely makes, haha I would have done exactly the same with the hem only with scissors 😂
So glad it’s not just me 🤪
I made it and love it. Never sewn a zip befor either. So some unpicking there but it all worked out well after a bit of fiddling.
Ooh I’m not sure what garment you’re referring to? Well done on the zip. That’s awesome 🤩
Love the rainbow rolled hem, I think you may have started ‘a thing’! Brilliant makes and vlogs as always x
Thank you!! 😊
Your sewing is just beautiful all those makes are stunning ❤
Thank you so much!☺️
Oh my word! They are all stunning.
Thank you!
Loving all four holiday dresses especially the first red one with rainbow thread and buttons. 🌈🌈🌈🌈
Thank you!

Thank you so much! I’d love to do tutorials but unfortunately they take such a long time. Working full time with 2 kids means time is limited!
I love that rainbow hem! So cute 😍. I got the Cocowawa Plum with a magazine a few years ago. I didn't think it would suit me, but yours looks amazing....maybe I'll give it a go. Thank you for inspiring a bit of risk taking in your sewing.
Go for it!
Could you please consider using a hanging rail to show your completed garments. What we see is sections at any one time. Thanks.
I’m afraid not. I don’t have room to store one. That’s why I put large photos in the vlog of me wearing it so you can see it on me 😊
All your holiday clothes and photos are amazing 🇦🇺💗
Thank you so much ☺️

Aww thank you ☺️
Beautiful makes Ruan, I couldn’t pick a favourite, you looked gorgeous in all of them. ❤❤
Oh thank you!
Button holes maniac❤
A large contrasting belt would be awsome with the pink dress
Great idea!!
You look so glam in all your makes! And maybe you should do a video about how to make buttonholes fun!
He he!
Lovely makes😊
Thank you ☺️
Fantastic makes x
Thank you ☺️
That Dovestone dress is stunning on you 😍 I'm so tempted to make one, but I haven't been able to solve my "how will I wear a bra with that" question yet 😄
Thank you! I’m lucky that I don’t have too much up top so a strapless bra works well for me 🤪
@@theyorkshiresewgirl my 38 Gs/GGs are such an annoyance sometimes, as good strapless bras are like hen's teeth 😂
Nice job pattern matching the pink dress!❤
Thank you! 😊
Wow you do such beautiful work, love everything....
Thanks so much 😊
I love seeing your makes, all of them are just stunning! X
Thanks so much sweetie 🥰
Love all your dresses Ruan, they really suit you. Well done
Glad you like them! 🥰
Great makes! Q: do you ever finish making something and then really not like it? And what do you do with that then? This is happening to me alot...!!
Not as often as I used to. I think I’ve started to realise what suits my shape and how to grade patterns so they fit me better. I think that comes with time. If you don’t like them then gifting them to someone who will like them would be a lovely thing to do 🥰

I love all your makes but the cocowawa dress is so striking and looks gorgeous on you even though it's "plain." (My sweet old kitty passed away last Sunday, literally hours after I commented that she was doing well. She just went to bed and never woke up.💔)
Oh that’s awful. Our pets are part of the family and it hurts when they pass. Big hugs 🌹
❤
Oh my heart aches for you honey. Sending you the biggest hug ❤️
😮 Buttonholes lover 😮
😂
❤❤
Never sewn with double gauze before, do you iron it at any stage? Before cutting out? What about pressing seams? Lovely makes. ❤
It depends what end result you want. You can iron it if you think you’ll want to iron your finished garment. Or you can hold the iron above the fabric and steam it a bit! Hope that helps. It’s a gorgeous fabric to wear 😍
You enjoy buttonholes 😱 always thought you were weird! 😂
Pahahahaaaaaa 😂😂😂
xXX👍👍👍
That slip dress is so beautiful 🔥🔥🔥 love the sound of that hack!!
Ooo the dovestone! 🔥🔥🔥Can you wear a bra with those dresses? Kelly xxx
Yes I had a bra on with all of them. Strapless bra for both strap dresses 😊
