Thank you for this amazing round up. Did you have to do full bust adjustment on any of these blouses?

Fabulous makes as usual. As for the swim style top - Ripper Seams had the same problem with the neck line so maybe a pattern not fabric problems. I love the Russian pattern companies. They have some beautiful designs- I’m in the middle of making the Lisa blouse from Viki Sews. Love the fit and the instructions are detailed.

Love the blazer. I have an animal print knit that looks like yours that I think I will sew it out of. When you said air gets in between your bathing suit, I thought you were going to say it makes fart noises!

Familiar territory for me as I live and work in this area. Great to be able to sit outside and sew😊

Ooohhh Beachy Head …. That brings back memories. I am Austrian and been in Eastbourne twice living with a lovely family in my teenage years. I am 47 now.. I did not realize that you are at home in this area. I think we took a boat ride back then to see the cliff. ❤️❤️

Husband is definitely a keeper! Lovely to see how you spent your day😊

Wonderful vlog. Love to see cows and sheep. Xxx

Thanks for sharing your day Cara. 🧶🌈🍓💙

Lovely vlog, thank you. The wide leg trousers and top combo look fabulous and perfect for your holiday. ❤

Fab vlog, I’ve really enjoyed this!! That Andi top with the patterned trousers is stunning!! 😍

Lovely video Cara nothing beats being outside in nature. Those cows were so cute. Lovely sewing and how fab of your hubby to bring you lunch 😊

Lovely to see Beachy Head area as we used to live in Sussex, glorious area.

Great video cara. Looking forward to seeing what you're doing with maison fauve x

Love all your makes, I’m certainly inspired 😊

What a treat to see the English countryside, those cows, the fields, the clear blue skies heavenly!

Beautiful fabric and makes 😊

What a perfect day Cara 😃 Your siguaro trousers are gorgeous 😍 I would love to be able to set my sewing machine up outside 😃

Cara! It worked! I put in a request to Mother Nature to send you some sun and heat! Lol. Your top with both the pant and shorts makes 2 wonderful easy, breezy outfits! Thank you for taking us along today on your bike ride. Beautiful countryside and it was nice meeting Daisy, 😉. BTW, as you suggested, I have uploaded my recent Maison Fauve Cuba Libre dress, the Salto Top, the Cicalleda Top and my 3 Grenadine skirts to Instagram! I'm going to visit my sisters in Germany in September, so I'm making more pants, Maison Fauve dresses, and a couple of their shorts patterns. Also sewed a dress from Love Notions for a friend and liked it so much I might make one for myself as well. I'm so excited to see what you are doing with Maison Fauve!!!! I bought some of their gorgeous fabrics on sale and plan on a few more Grenadine skirts too. Phew. Thanks for the encouragement! Have a wonderful week.🌾🌼🌿🐮

Great vlog and loved seeing the beautiful landscapes. Thanks!

I love helpersew company. Great and modern patters w/ very good instructions

Beautiful scenery ❤

Cara, this was a fun video to watch! ❤. Your husband is so sweet to bring you a plate of food. He’s a keeper.

Great vlog as always. Thank you for sharing your day it looked devine. Fabulous two piece sets ❤❤

Fabulous Cara as always! Definitely going to make a grenadine!!! Thanks so much for showing your gorgoeus makes

All the makes are lovely! @RipperSeams made the set with the Anti top for her contribution to the Busy Bee Challenge 2024! She also had a problem with the neckline when the neck tie was drawn up. I wonder if the fabric needs to be really soft so that the neckline falls better?

I also think if you are buying fabric especially it’s sometimes worth measuring the pattern pieces first. I cut a Summer in New York Dress out of 1.4m of fabric when the pattern said I needed 3m. Mainly because I got two skirt pieces side by side, but I also think pattern companies really over estimate the amount of fabric you need.

Lovely collection 😍. I too was inspired by Sarah 😊 on the Swim Style Andi top and skirt which I’ve printed the pattern for but I’m yet to make, so it’s great to see that you like it too. Love the seagull sounds. I keep wondering if it’s on your video or here at home 🤣

I’m in Colorado. As usual, you make the best patterns. I like the first 2 dresses, but the black one looks great on you.

Amazing collection of new patterns Cara, not sure which one is my favourite they’re all beautiful. 🧶🌈🍓💙

Really enjoying your videos. I'm in New Zealand and sewing a new look pattern at the moment., After watching your first part I also signed onto the Joli lab subscription and brought 6 patterns as well. So my next project is the Nymphea dress, I was looking for the perfect pattern for my fabric and that's it. Thanks for the really great info

Hi Cara I love your little black, dress looks so slimming on you. Good o you for having a go at some new pattern companies. I take my hat off to you, you aren't shy to try foreign patterns. I am a bit cautious to try them because of the non English.. not sure I will be able to understand the instructions. The outfits look lovely and perfect for summer. Well done you ❤

What lovely summer makes - I love the detail you go into and the fact that you will try things that are different for you. Looking forward to watching more of your vlogs! 😊

Waww, your Grenadine skirt is amazing ! 😍

I can't wait to see the new collection from Maison Fauve this fall! I'm needing a dress to wear to a winter wedding and I need some inspiration, so hopefully that release will do the trick! Thanks for your video. As always I leave feeling inspired and hopeful!

That red dress is a great colour on you and a nice style,bra straps don’t really notice and who cares as long as you’re comfortable! I quite often use bikini tops under my strappy dresses as the straps are more interesting! Black dress is great on you too. I’ve seen others having problems with the fall of the Swim Style top with the neck band worn, I think you need to really push the top of the v neck down when you have it on but I suppose it will work its way up again unless it’s stitched and if you do that it looses the versatility 😂

You have been so busy sewing, so many dresses. I have used Lakala site, very similar where you put in your measurements & the pattern is made to your shape which is in English.The red dress is similar to the Tilly’s Sky pattern which I’ve made but altered the tie straps to fixed ones. With all your makes, how many wardrobes do you have?😂🤣😂❤️

The black dress looks amazing on you ❤

Hi. I loved everything you made especially the red sun dress. I also like the colour of your bra that you are wearing with the dress. Where did you get it from? Keep making these great videos😘

Ooh Cara, love love the Andi in that fabric, it looks gorgeous on you! Thanks for the shoutout ❤️ I’m pretty sure I lengthened mine too. Also love the idea of the Jolie Lab, that’s new to me thank you. Your Lexi suits you so much, looks 🔥

Side-by-side fashion show is tech cleverness indeed. Red dress fabric is YOUR color! Slinky Lexi black looks great on your curvy frame! Congrats!

Beautiful dresses! I’m planning to take a look at both pattern companies. I made the Andi top and love the style too. I think the match up with trousers is a great idea. Took me a few tries to get the facings sewn together correctly so I could match them up to the exterior! My fabric was a linen type remnant so easy to top stitch the neck and shoulders so the facings didn’t peek out. Thank you for a content filled video! Commenting from US/Florida.

Hello, from Norway. Love the black dress. ❤

🤣🤣🤣do you know your facing is poking out?🤔 Hahaha love that! When I'm sewing it seems like such a big deal faux pas if my facing is showing but seriously WHY? 🤩

The black jersey dress looks a lot like the Pattern Emporium Tank Dress pattern, I love that wide binding! It looks great on you 🙌

Love the red sun dress!

Cara, thank you very much for the new pattern companies. ❤❤❤ You always make such beautiful garments! 🧵🪡💕

Cara, I so look forward to your Sunday videos so I can 'chat' with you. I hope all is well in your world with everyone healthy and home again. The first adorable dress you made by the Russian pattern company reminds me so much of the new Notches Kaiko Top & Dress that was featured on this morning's The Fold Line. It looks lovely and breezy on you. The Lexi dress isn't one I've come across before but it is such a flattering dress. Maybe you can make another one out of a viscose jersey for your trip. Very breathable. I just love viscose jersey. On Friday I cut out my first Saguaro Set pattern and can't wait to have some flowy pants myself. Your Grenadine skirt looks great! I also made my first one as a wearable toile in a deep purple jacquard. Hmm then I think I went a little crazy designing the next 2. First a denim with cherries on it - and wait for it - instead of piping I put in a zipper! The 3rd one is out of a peach gaberdine stretch suiting and on the bottom panel I added a fun faux leather panel with little shapes hanging off of it. That was a challenge and the panel is quit delicate. But it was also peach colored so I just went for it. I didn't include the lining in any of mine either. Lol, who has time for linings in skirts I will wear in the summer! I also made another Salto shirt in red viscose linen to go with the cherry skirt. And I've moved on the my first Cicadella blouse for my purple skirt. I'll never catch up to your sewing stardom standards, but I am loving all of these new outfits. Thanks Cara for always providing so much inspiration and fun.

Ripper seams also had the same issue with that neck tie. So I think it is a pattern issue. It amazes me how prolific you are. I have so many ideas floating around in my head, I think I need to write them down and tick them off as I do them.

Absolutely love love your videos enjoyed every one of them,would wear everything that you have sewn,an idea for you,the black skirt front could be made up in two different colours of the same type of material.Looking forward to your next video.

Love this vlog Cara so inspirational ❤ Any chance you could show us around your garden room....we are hoping to get one later in the year and yours looks amazing x
