Oh, what pretty fabrics. I hope to see you make up the "one off" tweed you've keptsealed up up for so long one day. I have no precious fabric, but I still put off using fabric when I start worrying that my skills are not up to my plans. I'm using a piece now to toile a blouse pattern that I believe I purchased in 1978. It really isn't special at all, but it's traveled 1000s of miles back and forth across the US in my adulthood.

Beautifull! The silk is a horizontal pattern, the scale too big near your face but perfekt for a Shirt or trousers. If suiting your colour sceme in a room, I also would consider 2 big cushions for autumn. Just an idea. Looking forward to the next glimps on your collection. Greetings from Sicily

I adore your style and your fabrics are absolutely beautiful! 😊

Ooh what a lovely decision to make! I especially like the Nani Iro and Liberty fabrics. Defo would be interested in seeing your other precious ones

Gorgeous, gorgeous fabrics! I always struggle with Nani Iro fabrics as not only is the width narrow, but the selvedge is so wide! You have to buy a lot to get enough for a garment, don't you! But then as it's your birthday, buy the pretty fabric. Have fun choosing the fabric and what to make!

Greetings from the U S of A.. did u add chapters? Not showing? 🤷🏼‍♂️😘❤

What gorgeous fabrics decisions decisions 😊😊😊

I love the last fabric. I definitely think that would be nice as a blazer!

You have a tough decision to make! Each one would be an amazing project! my favorites are the oxbow pants and the merchant and mills scout dress!

You have some stunning pieces of fabric, and each of them needs to be in your wardrobe! Good luck at choosing.

Lovely fabrics, particularly the Nani Iro - I’m a big fan! I’ve got a Nani Iro lightweight linen fabric that’s very narrow. I’m keen to get it sewn up but like you struggling as to a suitable pattern! It’s too nice to stay sat in my stash ( it’s been there for 3 years….!) ❤️

Wow, really stunning fabrics, love them all, ox bows in the canvas, dreamy. Can't wait to see what you make. Yes please to a part2, love to drool over special fabric. I am joining in, make a test of the pimpante blouse and have cut into my precious fabric, which is a Max Mara deadstock viscose in Cobalt blue with coral reef print, I am going to feel really fancy!

Wow Debs! You have given yourself quite a dilemma 😄 and I have no suggestions to help you out. All of those fabrics are beautiful, and I am sure whatever you choose will amazing - but you are right, they all deserve to see the sun (or at least be out the cupboard). I suppose my suggestion then is to sew them all 🤷🏻‍♀️🥰 (and I look forward to Precious fabrics part 2 ☺️)

Your hand-sewn shirt is lovely!! I like your outfit you are wearing!! The trip to Scotland looks amazing. I love Scotland!! You are so inspiring how you are working through your stach. The trend pattern dress is stunning!

Interesting video, thank you. Do you think it would work if I made View A pants with a View B yoke and top? I don't want wide legs, but need an elasticated waistband. Thank you

Aw, lovely sewing update and I can agree, Wester Ross is fabulous, despite the weather, LOL!

Lovely vlog Debs, your holiday looked beautiful

❤ “north ….. [never eat shredded wheet] … west Scotland “ 😂😂🤗😘

I recognise that beach. I’ve spent many summer holidays there since childhood. It is a marvellous place even in the midge rain.

I am also frequently tempted by pattern company sales! Like you though, I also have quite a large stash so don't feel the urge to rush out to buy more. If I see something that I really, really love then I get it. What I do is try to visualise what it would look like to wear and that often tempers my desire to buy it. As for the handmade shirt, I know this would grieve you but I would just machine sew the buttonholes. You have put so much work into it that could be marred if the handsewn ones look a bit meh. The other option is those new snaps that you just click in with your fingers (Bohin and Hemline make them). I have used them several times on jersey and they are great but I still think buttons would look better for your shirt.

I haven't made the whisper slippers but I have made a few pairs of the Jalie Nordik slippers - I put the sole grip layer on one pair but not the others, and I don't think I'll ever bother with it in future unless I am making slippers from a very slippery fabric. I made my slippers with a flannelette and also with fleecy tracksuit material and they haven't been slippery on the tiles at home at all.

I’m so glad you had a lovely holiday. I’m very impressed with your hand stitching skills and patience ❤ Always a joy to watch Debs x

Your hand-sewn shirt looks very sharp Debs, love how the shape of it and how the stripes are all slightly different. I can understand you not wanting to machine your buttons on after taking time and care over hand-sewing everything else. I’ve had my eye on the Scout shirt and yours looks great. I recently made a long sleeved Timbre top by Love Notions and the sleeves came out quite short so I’m now adding a bit of length to them

Glad you had a good holiday. Love your shirts, they look wonderful, the striped one is really dreamy. Agree on the podcasts, my faves too. Have been finishing up sewing for gifts, just one quilt to go then back to clothes sewing for me. Might need the scout shirt pattern....

I’m working on these pants, sure hope mine look this great. Thanks for sharing.😊

“My dog’s best friend” ❤️😂❤️😂❤️😂❤️

That swim bag is brilliant!

Lots of such pretty makes!! Love the Reeta dress! Enjoy your warm weather! ❤

Your Yantas are so lovely. I have been thinking about having a go at these for ages and I think you have made my mind up! Great idea for a bit of embroidery on the back pocket too. That mauve linen/viscose would look lovely with your blue hand sewn top. I have just made the Fibre Mood Elisa shirt and loved it so much I have ordered some more poplin (that I don't use that much) I have also just bought the Arden Pants pattern as I like simple pairs of trousers, usually in linen. The Empress Mills footage was great but sadly way too far from where I live now (I used to live in Yorkshire and liked having a good rummage through the yarn mills!)

Yep, chapters worked. OMG Empress Mills was wonderful to see. We used to bypass Colne when we used to travel to the Dales from South Wales . Loving your makes too. I always enjoy listening to you. 😊. Happy Sewing and Happy Holiday. Lynne

Love your mix of makes, are from my area which is Barmouth?

I love the jumpsuit! It is so cute!!! The top is so cute 😍 I like the challenge you joined. The quilt you want to make will be so beautiful. So nice visiting with you.

I really want to make that Deer&Doe jumpsuit! Yours looks lovely 😍. Really impressed with the fact you hand sewed that garment. That’s amazing 🤩

Oooooo I want more ‘Anneka Rice style’ bits please! 👏🏻 treasure hunting for material! Then tips on bargaining with shop keepers!! bravo.. ❤

The Reeta shirtdress is very classy, very elegant on everybody I see, the Oeff bag is very nice but it looks too complicated for me... :)

Out have been so busy! I love everything you made, but my favorite must be the top on the dress form. The fabric is so stunning

Great makes. Question re your dress, do you find the waist sits up too close. I find these dresses with elastic that the waist inches up too high.

Wow you are on a roll! Some really lovely useful makes. Having seen the bag - it is amazing! The dress looks great with the change in pocket placement. The tal top is great for the nerida Hanson fabric. The cozzies are brilliant too. I’m doing lots of planning but no sewing!

I'd love to see the forward shoulder adjustment as I'm fairly sure I need one! Great vlog and I love your Nerida Hansen top ❤

You have made a great variety of projects all really great! I like the idea of being able to change your bag straps as I do that all the time to match my outfits with purchased bags. I haven’t started making bags yet. I look forward to seeing your next videos!

Lovely makes. Love the Reeta too. I have it and have not made it, note to self!

Busy, busy month of lovely makes!! Love them all. I have been busy too. Made loads and especially love the Andi set by Swim Style patterns (made 2) and the Atelier Jupe Lea dress. Looking forward to your August makes. Happy Sewing. 😊 Lynne

Your shirt dress is gorgeous, as is your cuff top! I love that you added pockets to your swim bag - my husband bought me a commercially made one. It's great to stand on while getting changed, but it's very bulky when the drawstring is pulled up, which is a bit awkward when I go for my post swim coffee! First world problems! 😆

Beautiful makes, awwww I love your shirt dress and I love that you got to use your Narita Hansen fabric! Great makes, what a busy month you’ve had 🤗

Lovely vlog as ever xxx

Wonderful makes, especially your dress, really suits you. Love the egg bag, made myself one and have made 10 for gifts, I think I am done now! Would love to see your vintage machines

As usual lovely makes Debbie. I am also a vintage sewing machine freak!!! I have a few...in some instances they are much better than the new machines. I was making a bag in the last two weeks with vegan leather, my reasonably high spec Janome couldn't cope, my modern Singer Heavy Duty couldn't cope but my hand crank 1939 128K Singer went through it like butter. They really are fantastic machines and so simple. I would be very interested in any vlogs you make regarding adjustments.❤

Love your Reeta. I'm half way through one, which I must now finish, inspired by you. I have a Jones, 1977ish - it was my 21st birthday present. Not been used for years 😢

Beautiful makes.❤

I love your plans. Also need to make myself some t-shirts.
