A fly on the wall look at my somewhat difficult at times life . Documenting the ways creating , mainly sewing has helped me hugely to come to terms with my uncontrollable physical issues . I do have four Shih Tzus so things get a little crazy !!

Thank you Vicky, this was very helpful. I have RA and fibro and am always looking for ways to make sewing easier. I've put a few things in my amazon basket now! Take care x
For the gorgeous gold/bronze fabric why not a co-ord set either trousers and top or skirt and top. The leopard print stretch denim which every other blogger I’ve watched raves overt it, think it would be a big mistake to dye it. Best of luck on that one no doubt you will prove me wrong.
Co-ord idea is a great idea , got my thinking hat on now . I dyed the leopard print fabric , it’s far more wearable for me . I did think it would go all wrong though🤣
Hi again Vickie, nice to see you back and that you had a nice holiday. You do look relaxed, it is nice to have a change of scene. Your skirt looks very nice on you. Good luck with the dying of the fabric I hope that it is a success x
Hi there Susan , just what the the doctor ordered , I really enjoyed the change and relaxation. I was anxious waiting for the wash to end , thankfully I’m happy now and it’s wearable . Lovely colour before but far pinker in real life , just wasn’t going to work with me . Will show it in next Vlog . Hope you and your Daughter are well !!🥰
What about a coord? You love the idea of a skirt but had the idea of a shirt dress… maybe find a top pattern that would go with the skirt and do both - can wear together or as separates 🤔
Never thought of that Nova 🙄, genius 🤗
This is the first vlog of yours that I’ve watched. I love your approach to the splits of the Saltwater Slip Dress. Great idea that I’m going to use from now on. I have subscribed to your channel for more wisdom 😃 x
Welcome Ann !!. Pretty well anything with a split , makes it a nice tidy job , remember to back tack and lengthen the stitch that you will be opening up 🤗
Hi Vicki, your skirt is beautiful, it really suits you. Loved your fabric especially the gold/bronze one which will look fab as a skirt. Glad you enjoyed your holiday. ❤❤
Thank you so much , I do doubt myself at times matching fabric to pattern , but it worked out . Holiday was just what the Doctor ordered !🥰
Your bias skirt is gorgeous x
Thank you lovely 🥰
Glad you got away, a change of scenery is always good isn’t it. I’ve been using the hand splints and finding them quite helpful
Total agree Angela , just wish I could of taken a sewing machine 🤭
So glad you went on holiday Vicki and you enjoyed it. Your fabric is gorgeous and the gold/bronze fabric would make a beautiful bias skirt.❤
I did and thank you 🥰. It is crying out to be a Bias Skirt Libby 🤗
I love your skirt Vicky, it’s a beautiful colour. I think the fabric you got from me would make a beautiful version & I like the idea of loose trousers too. I can’t wait to see the fabric made up & I’m so happy you love it 🥰
That’s so lovely to say Claire , can’t thank you enough I love it 🥰
Thank you. I have osteo-arthritis in my thumb joints and tendonitis. The past 8 months have been difficult for me to do daily tasks let alone sewing! I have been plugging away at it, though. Will be having surgery soon. I appreciate any tips that can help me (and others) continue to sew. There are some youtube videos on hand yoga that can be helpful. An artist/quilter has some and her name is Heidi Parkes.
That’s all we can do , just keep plugging on . I think I will have to bite the bullet and have surgery eventually. Hand yoga!!, will have a look at that thank you !!!!
Hi Vicki, I love the buttons, very pretty. I'll go and have a look for those on their website. I hope you have a lovely holiday, a change of scene and some relaxation can do us so much good x
They are lovely , I love things that are a little different. First day of holiday , time for deep breath and relax 😊xx
Hi Vickie, lovely to see you again. The plans for your trousers sounds great love the fabric you have chosen, I hope that you do have enough over to make a matching top. Your blouse looks lovely on you and I like the colour. It does look comfortable. Have a great week and happy sewing 🪡🧵
Hi Susan , trousers are cut out , I was left with enough to make a hair bobble 😂. I’m looking forward to wearing them on holiday . Peach shirt is so breezy so I think it will be perfect . Thanks for stopping by and I hope you and your Daughter are ok 🥰
@@Thefibrosewist good morning Vickie, that's fast work getting the trousers cut out. Such a shame that you didn't get a top but a matching hair bobble will look lovely in your beautiful hair. Julie is as you know good and not so good 🙂 she's coming over this morning and we're having a sewing day. She wants to learn how to make a tired skirt. Have a nice day Vickie I hope the sun is shining for you x🪡🧵
@@susananderson9280 that’s lovely , hope you both have a lovely sewing afternoon , perfect 🤗
Love the crafty pie fabrics that green one is ❤❤❤
Will keep me going a few months in bloomers Alison 🤣
Hi Vicki, I think your blouse is lovely it’s a really nice shape. Your fabrics are gorgeous, I love the crafty pie fabric I haven’t bought any yet but I don’t know if I can resist much longer. Have a great holiday and enjoy the sun. ❤❤
Thank you real nice to say , it’s warming on me . Real mix match of fabrics this week , pants are cut out and ready to sew and hopefully come on Holiday !! Take Care x
@@Thefibrosewist ❤️
Another great vlog , love the Maude blouse I’ve just bought it but didn’t know what size to make , is it very oversized 😊
I made the 10 , it was about 3 inches longer . The good thing is you can always alter the side stitch lines as you do them on the outside and last . Style Arc for me is usually a 10, I’m a 36, 30, 39 , and 5.3 if that helps 🤗
Hi Vicki, i think your blouse suits you, never tried Style arc patterns, but they look interesting, Love the fabric haul,. have a lovely holiday, with some nice sunshine to warm your bones. Hugs Jean.xx
So lovely to say thank you Jean !!. Yes a little bit of Sunshine makes everything better 🥰
I love the plans for the trousers and the last two fabrics! (very rare me liking a print!) i'd like to hear your thoughts once you've sewed them up. i havent tried any style arc patterns yet.Also thanks for the reminder for Sunday!!!! id have missed it.
I know I’m in love with the green fabric , Mind the maker . I just managed to get the pants cut out , enough for a hair scrunchie and not a top😂. See you on Sunday Nova !!!😊
Lovely skirt Vicky, I got myself one of the Willcom splints you mentioned in your last vlog. Very impressed with the quality. I feel it gives my thumb and that part of my hand a chance to relax whilst being supported by the splint. Anyway, thank you so much for your advice x
Thank you Norma . Glad you may be finding some relief !!. We won’t let it get the better of us 🙌 Take care x
Lovely vlog Vicki. I love your Bedrock tee and the way you customised the neckband. 👏💕
Thank you Lynne , my favourite T-shirt now 🥰
Lovely makes. The binding on the back of the neck of your t-shirt looks very professional 👌 x
Lovely to say Kirsten thank you 🤗
Lovely makes 😊 What a good idea to use a different rotary blade for the armholes on your tshirt.
Thank you , just love a pretty finish 🥰
Both lovely makes vicky x
I have one of those scalloped rotary cutter blades. What are they actually for? Are they used kind of like pinking shears?
Yes they are like using pinking shears 🥰
Lovely makes again Vicki. I love your glasses ... I am always on the lookout for frames that are different. ❤
Thanks Libby . I love things a bit different as well , I got the from Specsavers in the UK ,my family weren’t keen on them 🤣x
@@Thefibrosewist I will have to take a trip into Specsavers and see if I can find them. I love them. You have good taste IMO x
@@libbykilpatrick1578 so nice to say 🤗let me know if you find them , I will see if I can find the make xx
Nice to see you again Vicki, your t-shirt and skirt are lovely ❤
@@user-xr9hr5nz6i thank you so much Janette 🥰
These are great tips! Especially the neck collar and electric scissors. ❤
I appreciate you saying . Thank you 🥰
Hi Vicky, thank you so much for this very useful video. I am going to look into the electric scissors, the heated neck and back thingy and the thumb brace. I should have just said everything haha. Anyway Mr Googlepants says :- Baby Lock sewing and embroidery machines are made by Brother and are almost identical internally to their Brother counterparts. The main differences are the brand name, accent colors, and under-lid stitch chart. So there you have it for those looking at buying an overlocker.... Take care x
Hi Norma , so glad this has been of use . I think it can cause so much upset , that through disability and Arthritis it can take away what we love . We are a determined lot though !!. Wish I’d known about the Brother factory prior to my purchases 😩. Happy sewing and Take Care x
You are incredibly Vicky - how you manage to make incredible things is inspiring x
Orrrr Thank you Alison , I could say very much the same about you ❤️
Thank you for the info Vicki, I've ordered the Willcom thumb brace. I use Fiskar Easy Action Softgrip fabric scissors which I find much easier to use than traditional scissors because they are sprung and open automatically 😊
Your welcome !!. Will have a look at the Fiskar scissors , thank you for that Elaine 😊

Your welcome Elaine . I will have a look at those scissors what a great idea !! 🥰
Some great tips Vicki. Your Donny looks great and I love the tee shirt pattern. It’ll be a lovely palate cleanser after your gorgeous Frocktails dress 💕
Thank you Lynne . A palate cleanser it definitely has been 🥰
Wow you look stunning 😊
So lovely to say , thank you 🥰💃
This was so helpful!! Thank you for taking the time to make it.
Your more than welcome , thank you 🥰
I have found this incredibly helpful - given me some ideas on how to help myself. Thank you so much for sharing xx
So glad Becs , DM me if you need help with anything ❤️
@@Thefibrosewist thank you lovely - I might take you up on that x
Thank you for sharing Vicky, this was very useful.
Your welcome Trish 🥰
Hi again Vickie, thank you for your hints and tips they're very useful. I have osteoarthritis everywhere had knees and hips replaced also I had decompression for my spondylitis which if I'm totally honest hasn't really helped. I told you last week about my hands. I saw a hand surgeon but all the joints in all the fingers are too fused he did offer me injections and or surgery for my thumbs but like you I don't want to lose sewing time, I sew every day its my 'need' and distraction. I shall look at the splints you mentioned as the ones I have aren't helpful. Thanks again Vickie happy sewing
Hi Susan , you hit the nail on the head !!, “distraction “. I tend to this what did my relatives have to help them years ago , they just got on with it !. I muddle through doing the best I can , with that I find my own solution. Happy sewing to you also , and hope your Daughter is ok xx
Thank you so much for sharing your aids…some things I’ve never heard of so I’ll take a look….keep well ❤😊
So glad , I dragged myself off the sofa for this one , It does help though especially if it’s of use to someone !! xx
My husband used to have a wax bath to ease the pain in his hands. Thankyou for sharing x
