Fabulous Friday sews Helen, I love all your plans and can’t wait to see your Marnie, I love wearing mine. Thank you so much for the gorgeous viscose from your destash, it is beautiful and I can’t wait to get it sewn up. Have a lovely rest of the weekend and happy sewing 🧵 ❤
You did make me chuckle & thought "Yeah... Where's my cuppa??" when you commented on addinging things to destash parcels!! 😆☕ I love all your fabrics & plans, the Marnie isn't a pattern for me, but it will look lovely in that leafy DG &I think the green will really suit you. Nothing negative for the Marnie at all, it's just not the right shape for me -I'll deffo be keeping an eye on your destash account, esp. when you spend my cash on more gorgeous fabrics lol xx
The Marnie will be lovely in the white one. I have just made another one out of double gauze. I am similar measurements to you, i sized down to a 4 because it comes up so big, I did no pin tucks or shoulder ruffle, but did the neck ruffle, I got this out of 2 metres xx
Thanks for the tip Bec, I have got some white with gold dots double gauze as well which I may use for side panels if I don’t have enough of the main dog with green leaves. I was debating what size so really appreciate your advice and thanks for watching 😊❤️
Some gorgeous fabrics. A lot of interesting plans, I can't wait to see all your new garments. I'm being really good even though I love the cat fabric. (I wonder how long I will last lol 😆) Thank you for sharing your vlog
I wonder if you could run a bit of very lightweight elastic inside the neckband of your batwing top? Something like shirring elastic thread or a lightweight clear elastic. You may not have to open up the seam. Put a length of shirring elastic on a larger needle and poke the eye end of the needle through the seam and feed it around. Tie a secure knot and work it in through the seam if you can. Worth a try. If it doesn’t suit you then you can deconstruct the band.
Haya. Great plans 🤩You made me go & purrrrrr-chase that kitty fabric, oooooops 😺😺Thanku 'sew' much for sharing 🪡✂🧵🙂xx

I love the random pick idea, and a fun way to create
You’ve made some great plans…..I can’t wait to see your results, especially the Marnie.
Aww that cat fabric from Minerva is soooo cute! Been trying to resist that for ages 😂
Lol, it is pretty fabulous, you’re doing better than I would in resisting it 😉
Thanks for watching hun xx
Ooo your Marnie will look lush in those fabrics ❤. I made one in Double Gauze and was able to make the top without ruffles/pin tucks from 2m.
The Marnie will be lovely in the white one.

Minikrea is a danish brand. They started out making kids patterns. :-)
Love your nails!
Thank you, my nail technician is so good and always up for any suggestions, including this gorgeous ombré effect 🥰

Ooh what a good idea, thank you! I’ll definitely try that first 😊❤️
