Thank you Diane,I will have a go using your excellent demonstration.❤

Thank you!

Thank you so much for sharing how to do that! 😊

Thank you Dianne for this very user friendly tutorial, you explained the process so well 😊

Thank you Dianne will try your way as mine are always too big on the shoulders

Brilliant, thank you

I love, love that dress! It looks totally delightful on you in that fabric! I was delighted to find this pattern earlier this year when I was deciding what to make for my son’s wedding. I made a version in viscose and lined with viscose sateen. I was super pleased with it - it was pretty and also comfortable and was very appropriate for what turned out to be a very hot day. Like yourself, I have resolved to make more versions of this dress because I think it’s a really great pattern.

I tend to make up a pattern without planning what to wear it with😮 Currently need at least 3 plain t shirts but get distracted by patterned jersey fabrics! Really like your button feature on the cardigan 😊

A lovely t shirt for your mum Dianne and a great way to use up odd pieces of fabric. 😊

I plan to try this. Thank you

Just a great idea foe copying a garment that you love. Great t shirt for your mom with s nice fabric! 👏🏻👏🏻

This video really helped me have the confidence to copy a dress pattern with a v neck. I did wonder why you didn’t stabilize the shoulder seams with clear elastic. What was your reasoning?

Really enjoyed that Dianne. Lucky Mum. Thank you🎉

Hi Dianne if only I comed keep that feeling going which I get when you are teaching different methods of sewing I would have an extensive wardrobe of cloths to wear..but alas it never happens..enjoyed the video as usual😀 see you in the next, have a good week , Susan 🌺🌻🌸

That neckline template is a brilliant idea! Thank you so much for sharing your methods! ❤ Suzanne

Good idea for the neck template. Saves time and paper.

Very easy to follow Thank you so much

Great tutorial! What is your seam width/length? You mentioned a narrow zig zag. Last time I sewed with knit I got so frustrated with this! You’ve encouraged me to try again, though! Thanks!

Really nice jacket! Thank you!

Really enjoyed this. Save and shared it for me to reference in the future. Always wondered how this was done as I have a few tops I want to replicate. Would love one for elasticated trousers as well.

Thank you ..I’ve never sewn with stretch fabrics .. or made my own pattern from existing garment so this was great, informative and helpful. Think I may buy a cheap ish stretch fabric to give it a go.

Very good idea

Thant was helpful, thanks 🙂

Very informative video. I am resizing some tops to mimic one that fits me better. This is just what I needed to see. Love that fabric! Thanks

Really helpful Dianne, I’ll certainly give it a try.

Really enjoyed that. I have t-shirts I love so I will definitely try this method. I like all your posts, I find them very interesting and you described them so well. Thank you Dianne

I do agree with you Dianne, although it would be fun to have your colours done , it is obscenely expensive. I think most people know what suits them. For a lot of people having a wardrobe that's interchangeable is enough. ❤

Lovely dress! you always know how to style and what suits you! I’ve never had my colors done, either, but after a while you know what you prefer on yourself. I figured out I was warm toned because I like the look of gold jewelry on me. Maybe you’ve found that preference yourself (as opposed to white gold or silver jewelry)? ❤❤ Suzanne

Hi Diane, I tried to make the dress before. Unfortunately I purchased a flawed version of the pattern where the facing/band was not the correct size. I watched a video of how to try and correct it but to make a long story short, the fabric snagged in unpicking and could not be saved. I loved the fabric so much, I was so crushed I threw the pattern and dress in the garbage. I love your dress and knew I would have loved mine, but I will never try it again. It took me several weeks before I even wanted to sew again.

Hi Dianne, I really like your dress, it reminds me of a tessuti one I've seen, but it's not as low-cut. I have watched Sally's vlog about her colour me beautiful experience. I think we all know what we like but it's maybe nice to be told that other colours work as well. I had my colours done nearly 20years ago now and my hair colour has changed . So maybe my colours may be different. I think the colour wheel is a fabulous tool to use. I was a florist and it's invaluable when you start to see what colours work together. Good luck with you DIY version, I'm sure you'll get good results.

Hi Dianne. I just found your channel just now and I am happy to subscribe. I struggle with picking colours that suit my complexion and often tend to buy navy or black. I would like to use more vibrant colours for my makes. Colour theory is a in fact its own science. The weird thing is that I used to do graphic design work and I kind of know what goes with what but mixing colours for digital and print is such a different process from mixing fabrics and matching them with people. Anyway, you've given me a great idea and I will be doing my own colour investigation. Thanks, Dianne! -Sandi from Jamaica

Gorgeous dress Dianne! I’ve used buttons backwards before too, if you prefer the back, why not? 😊

Hi Dianne, I watched the vlog with Sally talking about having her colours done and like you it's something I've been interested in for a while, but it is expensive. I like what you've done with your own research though - something I'd like to do myself. The black dress is lovely, and I agree that the brown buttons just lift the black a little. Love hearing about your plans for September too xx

I would love to see how you create a pattern from the top. One day I would love it if you could do the same for elasticated trousers. Not sure how to do the inner seams and crotch - different front and back. Love your vlogs! Keep them coming😊

I would really like to make the Marlo. Your versions are lovely but patterned fabric is hard to style so would probably use plain. I want a really warm sweatshirting. Any suggestions? Size wise it’s quite large so would plan to size down to have it more fitted.

I am thinking of using my scraps for winter wear also. The Marlow is a possibility. Great vlog ❤

I love the mismatched buttons, they give your Marlo sparkle

I love both cardigans! The animal one is adorable.

I love the Malo pattern. I'm a UK size 10 but I sized down in the pattern, I made a size 2. I alfso added 2" to the length. Im 5'5" for reference. I still managed to make it from 1 metre of fabric, not 8ncluding my ribbing. I love your Marlo, the fabric is gorgeous.

The buttons look great, don’t change them! I agree patterned toppers are hard to combine with other items, so I can see why you’re hesitant about it, but I love that print and colour personally 😊

I love what you what you're wearing

Hi Dianne, cardigan is lovely and I wouldn't have noticed buttons had you not pointed them out .. and they all looked the same to me😂😅 it just goes to show as long as the colours match.Looking forward to next video. Have a good week Dianne . Susan🌸🌻🌺

Ooh! I love that fabric - the aqua fleece with the darker blue dandelion seed. Do you know how I can find it on Minerva?

Did you alter the underarm Dianne? It's like you say a very nice cardigan and warm, so a nice item to use up scraps.

I love your Marlos. I have the pattern but have been scared to make it because of the buttonholes 😬😬😬. Do you have a sewalong? I saw a video on your one with foxes but I can't remember if it was a sewalong. Thank you!

The sweater came out really cute! I have this pattern but haven't done it yet cause I was unsure about a fabric choice. Now that I know I can use a sweatshirt type of fabric I feel more confident

Hiya! I would love to watch your fabric saving video for the Marlo but I can't seem to find it. Could you direct me? What sorts of fabric would you recommend for it. I love the style!

Love your Marlo cardigan. The extra length is good. I have suitable fabric and am looking for a cardigan pattern to make a couple for the colder weather.

Hi Diana. That is a lovely make. I wonder if you added something from a color opposite this blue on the color wheel if it would warm it up a bit. You might like it better. I always look forward to your videos. Thank you

Love the Marlo. Your makes arr beautiful. Looking forward to the next video. Thank you 🎉
