Just finished making the Serene Jumpsuit for my daughter, your sew along was very helpful and made the first time sewing this much easier. I will be making one for myself very soon. Thak you so much, will use your tutorials again. Tracy ❣

This was very informative. Particularly the tutorial on decreasing sleeve volume.

Great start…to show the finished jumpsuit and provide an explanation 😊!

Thank you ! I have a tummy and appreciate your ruler trick to help with my hip measurement.

Brilliant tutorial Donna, this was a must watch before starting on this very exciting project x

THANK YOU DONNA FOR THIS TUTORIAL. I COULDNT HAVE DONE IT WITHOUT YOU. LOVE THE JUMPSUIT EVEN IF ITS BEEN A JOURNEY HAHA

Love the non gathered sleeve version ! X😊

Interesting, how is it acting on a longer seam like a meter or two? Wanted to do a German Video for my online sewing class. Enjoy your sewing day!

Just finished my first Size me sewing pattern and I love the trousers. Looking forward to starting my next project.

Great sealing thank you! Making Florence tomorrow! 🎉

The shop i buy it from said ‘just use it like you normally would with standard thread’. So not having to change anything sounds about right to me. I haven’t actually used mine yet though so it was interesting to see your demo.

I have enjoyed making my Florence jacket and am very pleased with the result. Thanks so much for the video If I could just offer some suggestions for future videos: 1) Use a jacket fabric with an obvious right and wrong side. 2) Use a lining fabric that's a contrasting colour 3) Wear something that is a different colour than the project This would make the video much easier to follow. I hope these suggestions helpful. Thank you again.

Thank you for an amazing pattern and tutorial, I’ve spent a great bank holiday making the jumpsuit and will definitely be making more xx

It would have been so much clearer if there had been a definite right and wrong side to the fabric you are using

My elastic ( upper arm size) is way too small to gather the sleeve into. At full stretch it’s about 2” short. What is the minimum length of elastic please for the sleeve? ~ ~ size five rows in from largest tiniest dot dot dot

I don’t play around with anything. Just thread and stitch as normal. Game changer, as you said! 🎉

thank you for this incredible tutorial! can you please tell me which fabric you are using? name, type? I love how easy you can iron it! thanks!

Hi how wide are the trousers at the hem. I looked at the pattern but it doesn’t say.

Hideous outfit and awful idea! Hope your other sewing items are much better.

I like using fuzzy nylon on the bobbin for stretchy stuff too.

Thanks for this. I’m sewing the Florence Boxy Tee at the moment. For my second Tee, I’ll try the Maraflex thread. I’ll not miss unpicking the lightning bolt stitch!😂

I'll put this on my list for spring, can the sleeves be lengthened a bit? X

My trouser pattern pieces are in one piece, that is the way the printer printed them that way is that okay, ?

Like like , love it , have bought the pattern this morning, can’t wait to make it , love your tutorial , thank you , xx

Where do I purchase this pattern please? Thank you

An excellent tutorial. Thank you. I just downloaded your pattern today after watching the Northern Sewl Sisters modelling their versions. Can't wait to have a go!

Love that you teach techniques as part of showing how to make this specific garment.

Genuinely enjoyed this tutorial. It’s tremendously helpful to have this detailed and calming hand holding for every step, including fitting at the beginning. Is that a track of ocean waves overlaid? It was soothing. Very serene 😀.

Wow! That’s a piece of engineering genius Donna! I absolutely love this jumpsuit (and, as always, the amazing tutorial video)! I’m really tempted to make these at the sewing retreat with you next June! I’m just waiting to see how these might look on my short and very chunky frame though. It would be great if I actually had a waist but bust, waist and hips all measure the same. This means I always have grading issues and, although I think I could get these to fit, I’m not sure if they would be flattering. Looking forward to seeing some of the plus size makes and so appreciate your increased size range and information on fitting. ❤

This is amazing. I am not a fan of jumpsuits but this is the first and only one that I want to sew. Just purchased pattern. Thanks for recoding this sew along.

Good video with detailed instructions. I don’t know how much work is involved, but you might want to consider chapters in case someone wants to jump to a particular sewing section. Also I didn’t notice your website in the description which sometimes is useful. Thank you for your videos and your pattern explanations as it’s very useful.

Hi enjoyed your sew along vienne dress did you use the extra 5 cm of elastic in the waist thank you x

Perfect tutorial ! I am totally new to sewing and this was so crystal clear and fully explained at each stitch that even a total beginner can make this lovely tee , thanks 😊

how did you find the fit on finishing as there is a lot of ease on the bust .

Agree wit you, I always putting the pins in the wrong way too :)

What a lovely, thorough tutorial, even down to stitching the button on.. What an ingenious way of doing the pockets, I hope to make mine this week, I may add more gathers on each skirt layer to make that part of the pattern zero waste, I’m trying to cut down on leftover pieces that I don’t know what to do with! Thank you x

When you are setting in your sleeve, why don’t you put a line of ease stitching in, which would help you keep the ripples out of the way?

Perfect can’t wait to make this xx

You are a good teacher.

Wow - just fabulous! I’ve finished my toile of the Florence skirt and, despite making it in a very unsuitable firm cotton fabric, I’m really pleased. The gathers were challenging due to the thickness of the fabric as much as anything - snapping one of the basting threads at one point. 😩 But I guess you can’t buy experience! The fit was perfect and frankly, my zip was a thing of beauty! 🤣🤣. Your video was clear and although you say it may appear that you put in extra steps, what it did mean was that I didn’t make lots of mistakes and spend ages unpicking (well apart from my messed up gathering but that was my fault entirely). The tips around putting in a zip and gathering properly were really useful and the pressing, pinning and checking throughout really paid off. I’ve already cut out my fabric for the real version- a drapey ish brightly coloured rayon (I think) and I can’t wait to sew it. Although, I plan to play the whole video again and not cut any corners, promise. 😃. Thank you so much for this video.

Really useful. Thanks

I agree that hemming is better before gathering! Also hemming with baste stitches! Great video! Will be making the skirt soon.

Loved the tutorial justvprintted off the pattern will make this soon .Thank you

Thank you for a great tutorial! X

Thank you ever so much Donna! This is a fabulous step by step tutorial. Just what I needed and my garment even fits :))))))). 💃

I look forward to using the pattern as I loved the tutorial and how you sew. I sew with the same meticulous steps and thoroughly loved it.

Loved this sew along, had it on while I’ve been pottering today, as I will be sewing up my first Vienne this week ❤ unfortunately I didn’t have enough fabric for the pockets! 😢 I’ll make sure I do next time. Great explanations and tutorial, thank you 🥰

Tamlyn from Sewn on the Tyne mentioned this dress and tutorial on her video today, I love this dress and am new to sewing, its no my Christmas dress Thank you

I bought this pattern from you at the Alexandra Palace last month, I finished my blouse this evening, I’m beyond pleased with it, I will be making more !😊
