    For someone who hasn’t been sewing very long ,you have made a beautiful job on your purple dress. It looks stunning on you. Your such a neat seamstress . I’ve been sewing for years and even I have times when I don’t sew that neatly. Stunning make well done you 👏🏻👏🏻🥰

      Thank you so much. I really enjoyed sewing the purple dress and taking time over the finish after having been a bit daunted by it for so long! 😊🥰

    Again, such beautiful makes. I love the purple dress. The ruffle looks great. The striped dress makes me wish for summer. It’s going to be a great warm weather dress. And the pouf is beautiful. You did such a great job with the fabrics. Thanks so much for sharing!

  • @marybethpazdernik9783
    @marybethpazdernik9783 3 года назад

    What a fantastic job you did on the purple top. The pleated ruffle is so much more sophisticated than the usual gathered ruffle and you finished it beautifully. Omitting it from the back also elevated the look a notch. I felt I had to take the time to compliment you because I really admire what you did with a pattern (and color) which would never suit me because of my coloring and personal style. Well done.

    • @madebycathcraft

    Hi Cath, beautiful makes again...so glad you got to finish your Freya dress as it's really lovely and that was such a great idea to finish the edges of the frill. Really like you knitted hat! I never got on with double pointed needles and your reference to the hedgehog made me laugh as it's so true! I've just taken up crochet and I'm really enjoying it. Xx

    • @madebycathcraft
      @madebycathcraft  3 года назад +1

      Hi Karen, thanks for watching 😊 I’m glad i finished my Freya dress too! 💜 I have been enjoying seeing your crochet makes on Instagram, I have tried a bit of crochet but not mastered the tension/how to hold the hook yet at all! Xx

    Lovely makes! I love that red knitted hat. You did a good job on that. I’m still trying to learn how to knit. If only I could knit a hat and scarf that would make my day.🧶 I’m not giving up. Thanks for your lovely videos.

    • @madebycathcraft
      @madebycathcraft  3 года назад

      Thank you very much! The hat was a lot of fun to sew, I do like cable knitting. Good luck with learning to knit, it took me some time practicing to get used to the tension and get familiar with the stitches, it's such a lovely hobby I find it really relaxing.

      @madebycathcraft  3 года назад

    Love all your makes and can’t believe how many things you have made + your knit projects. You certainly need those warm sweatshirts at the moment & they turned out really well. I liked your blue sweater but like it plain maybe would leave the lettering off, possibly use for a t-shirt or pjs. The stripped dress looked really pretty, loved the way you did the stripes. Happy New Year and take care and stay safe.

    • @madebycathcraft
      @madebycathcraft  3 года назад

      Thanks so much for watching 😊 yes I think I’m going to leave the blue sweater plain and use the vinyl elsewhere. Yes I’m glad to have added some cosy sweatshirts to my wardrobe it’s been so cold! Happy new year to you too 😊

    the astoria top: you may want to consider putting on a narrow bias bound neckline instead of the band and then you would not need to alter the shape. Love your makes.

    • @madebycathcraft

      Thank you that’s a good idea I hadn’t considered that. Thank you for watching 😊

    @ruthlanwarne8978 3 года назад

    Lovely makes Cath. You made so much! I liked the wording for your blue top. It looked so professional. I love your pouffe as super colours. Is it very fiddly to make? You are so talented and have been sewing such a short time too! I make notes of the patterns you suggest too as it’s so helpful to get a guide on size. Thank you 🤗

    • @madebycathcraft
      @madebycathcraft  3 года назад +1

      Thanks so much for watching Ruth 😊 The pouffe is a little fiddly, particularly lining up all the top pieces so they all meet evenly in the middle, but it is mostly sewing straight lines so the sewing itself isn’t too complicated. So glad you find my vlogs useful 😊💕

    Love all your makes! 😍 I also made the Freya dress with the ruffle for my daughter in a crêpe like light pink knit. And I made a hacked version with a puff sleeve by making the sleeve head longer. It’s such a versatile pattern! I also like knitting, especially socks because the are nice small projects to try out patterns and you can work on them everywhere. Double pointed needles are fine off course, but less practical carrying around. Did you look into de ‘magic loop’ method en ‘Judy’s magical cast on’. These techniques allow you to use your circular needles all the time. Looking forward to your next makes!🤗

    • @madebycathcraft
      @madebycathcraft  3 года назад +1

      Thank you very much! 🥰 A freya dress with puff sleeves sounds really cute! Thanks I need to have a look at the magic loop method, I’ve heard of it but I need to have a little watch and learn as it sounds very handy! 😊

    I love everything you have made, especially the Forsythe Dress. I am definitely going to make one. Yours is just gorgeous. The strange thing was though I kept looking at the fabric and thinking were have I seen it before. Then looking in my stash I found 3 metres of it, must have purchased it sometime ago and forgot all about it - as we do! I do love a stripe though I think it just says long summer warm days.
    Love the hat such a gorgeous red. The lettering for the shirt is nice but I think it needed to be in another font, maybe that is why it does quite look right. By the way I have purchased the knitting pattern you showed in December James Brett 247 to have a go at, it looks a nice easy pattern. Looking forward to seeing yours. Happy New Year and look forward to your next vlog :)

    • @madebycathcraft
      @madebycathcraft  3 года назад

      Thanks so much for watching! I hope you enjoy the Forsythe dress pattern, I really enjoyed sewing it. How funny that you have the stripy fabric in your stash. It’s a nice one I think, I love a stripe too. Yes I think you’re right on the lettering. Hope you enjoy the knitted cardigan pattern, I’m gradually working my way through knitting mine 😊 happy new year 😊

  • @rhondaa18
    @rhondaa18 3 года назад

    Hi. I appreciate and am inspired by your sewing journey. I really like the summer cotton and linen dress - very cute. Regarding toile, I know you’re still tweaking it; I think you might like the fit much better with a slightly larger size in the bust. Beautiful makes. Thank you for sharing.

    • @madebycathcraft
      @madebycathcraft  3 года назад

      Thank you very much 😊 thanks for the feedback on the Astoria top, yes it definitely needs more tweaking thanks I’ll have a think about the fitting at the bust too.

    Another lovely blog and so many beautiful makes. I have the Simplicity version of the Toaster but it doesn't have the high neck version. However I made the shorter Southbank and put a band on the bottom. it works fine so no need for the Toaster pattern! Also put a band on my mid length one and much prefer it. I'm a Southbank girl lol. I'm sure I asked if you could recommend a men's teashirt Patten with a mix of neck options. I know you replied but didn't write it down and I can't find it anywhere.! So if you don't mind me asking again. Happy New Year. I look forward to more vlogs, they are my favourite. Thanks Cath

    • @madebycathcraft
      @madebycathcraft  3 года назад

      Thanks so much Ruth 😊 I love the Southbank too, it’s a fab pattern isn’t it. Re a men’s t-shirt with different neckline options, I haven’t made it myself but I’ve seen the dockside men’s Henley & polo pattern by love notions recommended. Thanks so much for watching, Happy New Year to you too.

  • @tracyfrost

    I also found the Astoria lower sleeve was tight. I also dropped the neckline. Good idea to try it out first.

    • @madebycathcraft
      @madebycathcraft  3 года назад

      Thanks that’s interesting to know you found the same with the Astoria. I’m glad i didn’t cut straight into the fancier fabric for that one

  • @SecretLifeOfASeamstress
    @SecretLifeOfASeamstress 3 года назад

    Just catching up with your videos! Lovely makes as always your striped dress is lovely! I love your Toster sweater too. I love the look of the Southbank and the Toaster but wondered if they were too similar to buy both. What do you think? 😊

    • @madebycathcraft
      @madebycathcraft  3 года назад

      Thanks for watching 😊 that’s a tricky one re the southbank and toaster. I bought the toaster first and then got the southbank particularly for the dress version. But they are pretty similar (main difference really is the raglan sleeve v drop shoulder) so I don’t think you’d really need both and I guess the southbank has more flexibility. Hope that helps xx

  • @nancynewman6592
    @nancynewman6592 3 года назад +1

    Regarding the lettering, if you wear them on a sleep shirt, and you sleep on your side, they will be folded and might develop creases? and if you sleep on your stomach, they will take extra rubbing and might wear out faster... just a thought. Love all your makes!

    • @madebycathcraft
      @madebycathcraft  3 года назад +1
