That Melilot Top is so beautiful. Jordan is super lucky! You went above and beyond with birthday gifts this year. It's sweet to see them bringing you a cocktail, so clearly you are both spoiling each other. ❤ I never thought to make a t-shirt dress from the core t-shirt. You are giving me some serious ideas! I'm sure I've commented on your blanca flightsuit before but come on.... How could I not say how amazing it looks! 😍🔥 You've been knocking out of the park lately!
A play suit would be nice, but I wouldn’t change this one. It looks great on you and you will get a lot of use of it when the weather is cooler.
Yeah I agree and seems to be the consensus!
Great makes! The Zadie looks lovely long on you, but I'll bet you'll enjoy having the playsuit even more, unless you need to take it to SoCal for something kinda fancy! Cheers --Kelly
Thanks Kelly! I think I am going to keep it as is and make another one as a romper/playsuit.
That Blanca is stunning 🤩
Right?! Thanks Emma☺
I missed you! I am so glad to see you and all your new makes! Your mauve/purple jump suit looked fabulous on you! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much!!
Just make another zadie in a different fabric. This one is perfect for spring, falll and evenings.
I think you are right!
Wow! You have been busy! Great to see you back. Lucky Jordan! You made some wonderful gifts for their birthday! Very clever! I love the Core T-Shirt dress! Beautiful fabric! But, I love love love your Bianca Flight Suit! Just awesome! I just finished The Assembly Line cuff sleeve vest in a headstock wool. I lined it and it is so warm! We have had some 0 degree mornings here. I wore it twice in the first week after making it. It is great when a make is perfect! Happy sewing!
Thank you so much!! There is nothing better than having something turn out just as you wanted!🤗
Glad you’re back! I‘m definitely going to make that Luna jumpsuit 😇
It's so good. You'll love it!
I love the Sadie long, make another as a play suit.
I had the same experience with spoonflower, the colors are not as bright,disappointing.
I agree. At least for the cotton canvas I was a little disappointed...
Lovely makes!! Also I loved the serger story. Your Blanca flight suit was amazing!!! And fun and playful tier skirt! Love your fabric choices!
Thank you so much!
The Zadie looks so nice, in the fall you will be so glad you made this. You might want the romper version now cause it's so warm.
Maybe the skirt is a little bigger because the fabric is a looser weave than the previous fabric causing it to stretch more? I LOVE that skirt btw, might need that fabric in my life 😅
You are probably right about the weave of the fabric. I would highly recommend it though...it is lovely to work with.
Romper romper romper! It’s funny that you’ve been gone for a couple months. I only discovered your videos a few days ago with the Sew Frugal challenge so I feel like you’ve been here. :D your videos are really inspiring me to get sewing. :)
I'm happy you're enjoying my videos🤗 Thank you for being here!
Happy to see a video from you - you’ve made some fabulous things! I am headed to LA in August, too. Are you planning any fabric shopping while you are there - if so, would love to hear the places you are hoping to visit?
If I have time I want to go to Blue Moon Fabrics! We won't be there for too long and we have a packed schedule but I'd love to get to at least one fabric shop☺
Welcome back. Great gifts for Jordan! Did you use any heavy interfacing in the Harrison bag? It looked quite supple….just wondering. Love your Blanca & the skirts and the flowered t-dress. Haven’t tried a jumpsuit for myself yet…but I’ve been making a few Juliet tops from LN- sleeveless for the summertime. Glad you still made time to sew during your break.
Thank you so much!! The instructions say to not interface waxed cottons but I have fully interfaced all the lining fabric. It is a sturdy one!
Jordan looks so good in the Melliot, it was very kind of you to give it up! Happy birthday Jordan 🎉
I agree! lol
Agree with Christine - a lovely treat to see you today! You are so fun and creative and I've been wondering what you're up to. Your t-shirt dresses are fabulous. I can see why you have them on rotation. Jordan's presents are all great! I've bought several times from Spoonflower and have always been super happy with the fabric I've bought. My favorite is your Blanca flightsuit. WOW. Great video and thanks for sharing, xo
Thank you so much!! I'm happy to be sharing here on YT again🤗
Lots of great makes! I would keep the Zadie long. It looks so elegant and fits great. There’s more fabric out there to make the play suit. 😄
Good point!☺
Valerie! Your pattern matching on the pocket of Jordan’s shirt needs mentioning! *chefs kiss 🤩 Jordan is so very lucky! I love a good play suit/romper, but you might get more wear out of it in the fall and spring if you keep it long. Your Blanca is perfection! Glad to see you’re back filming! 😍
Thank you for noticing!! It is actually perfect🤗
Yay! Your're back. I am making another Gilbert Top in some natural linen. I think I might want to dye it. It's going to be a part of a set with some very simple Pants No. 1. I am sure I'll get a lot of wear out of them both. Happy sewing!
Sounds lovely! What color are you thinking about dyeing them?
@@what_valerie_makes I’m not sure yet. I’m considering using a natural dye. So I’m in research mode right now. Maybe a pink or purple? I also like green. We’ll see! ✂️❤️
What a treat to turn on TH-cam with my morning tea and see you! I would turn the jumpsuit into a romper. I agree, you will get more wear out of it. Your Core T shirt dress is so pretty. You should be proud of your Blanca. I have not sewn a lot lately. Mostly quick repeats.
Thank you Christine! Hopefully the house stuff is going well☺
Super makes Val! Love your Blanca, my fave recent makes are my oxbow pants my gofre blouse and chanterelles! Glad your serger was an easy fix!
Thank you! I haven't made any of those patterns but would love to try them out sometime.
I love your makes and your serger story! Thanks for sharing. ❤
It's a good one, right?!?🤦
Beautiful makes! Boiler suit is exceptional!
Thank you so much!
Keep it long and make another version as a playsuit 😊
great idea😆
Gorgeous makes Val! 🥰🥰🥰 I missed you, happy to have you back with us. 🧵🪡👗 As for the Zadie I would go for the long length, but you do you. You will look gorgeous no matter what. 🌹
Glad to be back🤗
You've convinced me I think I need t shirt dresses in my life.
They are the best!!
Hi Valerie. thank you for sharing your makes. Your boiler suit is tremendous on you - I completely get why you are so proud of it!! Sharon PS, I think the zadie would look great as a playsuit.
Thank you so much!☺
So many great makes! I am gearing up to make the Blanca Flight Suit (someday, I'm scared!😅) and I am OBSESSED with yours. It's amazing. I've never made a jumpsuit before, so I've been thinking about starting with the Zadie because it seems like it might be a bit more simple to make and fit. Your new Zadie is beautiful on you. I love it long, but I think it would also be super cute if you shortened it. Thanks for sharing your projects! 💙
The Zadie is a great beginner jumpsuit pattern. The binding around the front can be a little fiddly but it comes together really nicely!
The zadie would look good as a playsuit :)
I actually really like the bias binding across where the two pieces meet. It really looks elegant. Was the slippery fabric hard to sew?
Not as bad as I thought. It has some texture to it so it kind of grips to itself!
I know it’s a year old video, but I have to give you a HIGH HIGH FIVE 🙌 for your Bloomsbury suit plus taking pictures of yourself in the library🤌. My favorite things combined: linen, florals, suits, books and a happy attitude. Thanks so much!
I seriously wore my Bloomsbury blouse after reading this comment! Thank you so much🤗
Just came across this vlog (mid June), but love a lot of these & also live your inspiration brand!
Another award winning video! I loved everything about it, but especially the hands on sewing tutorials, the soundtrack, and the finished piece modeling reveal! So much work to produce this one. So worth it ❣️❤️❣️
Thank you so much ☺️
ahhh, this is so cute!! I love the coordinating look at the end. Thanks for doing this tutorial, I'm going to add it to my Sew Queue!
Thank you for watching 🤗
I love your version of the awesome, flattering Zadie jumpsuit ❤
It's so good! Thank you so much :)
23:30 that is not really a loop turner. At least, for me it isn't, I used that gadget mainly for pulling my serger tail back into the stitching line so the tail doesn't hang.
Jordan looks so pleased with the hoodie! As they should be, it looks great. Thank you for this tutorial. I do want to give it a go at some point.
I am quite pleased indeed 😊
It's a really fun and creative project! I would highly recommend🤗
You’ve done such a great job of working this out. Such a lovely idea and brilliant scrap buster!
Thank you so much! Really happy with this video☺
The hoodies both turned out so well. 🫶. Great job. And they look so good on the models too, 😉.
I think so too🤗
They both look amazing! Thank you for the tutorial Valerie! I have to try it. What’s the glue you used?
Thank you so much 🤗 Aleene's Fabric Fusion glue! I got it at Joann's but you can find it online as well!
@@what_valerie_makes thanks for responding!
Wow I love them both. Definitely on my to do list ❤
Yay, you should do it! Thank you!
wiw! love the way they turned out! i tend to go for more dark colours but the one you just made for jordan is great! thanks for showing, i have so many scraps to try this with. tfs:)
Thanks for watching! I'm very pleased with the outcome of Jordan's and they have been wearing it a lot so it's a win all round🤗
Thank you for showing us how ! Lovely to see of the two of you at the end too 😊
Glad you enjoyed it!🤗
How about Closer Core Mitchell Trousers? I just purchased this pattern and I think your ponte would be wonderful.
great idea🤗
Love your beautiful blouse in the Autumn colours. Well done on unpicking! And adjusting the sleeves. 😵💫So frustrating but It looks terrific.
Thank you! 😊
Yes, please do the sweatshirt tutorial! Your sweatshirt is awesome!
You got it!🤗
Love the hoodie idea I'm going to try making one
