i love it, im after doing a summer dress out of old shirts , but im a learner so it might end up in bin. i love your style of clothes. lol i play Warcraft too, at 65 its my go to anyways really enjoy your videos tfs hugsx

Thank you. I love your red/green dress. I have the pattern and cant wait to play.

Very nice, talented sewer! ❤

I admire your dedication to reducing clothing waste. I just don't like the way the dress looks on you. Everything about it is frumpy and makes you look much wider than you really are. If you repurpose clothing, try going instead for vertical lines, V-necks, and nipped-in waist. It would look much better.

You’ve done a great job on the shirts refashion, it’s giving me ideas for my busy bee sewing challenge! I often join a virtual sewing session so if it’s the same one then I may see you there x

Great video and great ideas! Thanks!

Loved the video! Thanks.

Hi Shelley. I have attended a couple of virtual sewing socials organised by sequin girlie creates. I have really enjoyed them. You can chat as much as you like or just sit and listen. Some are really well attended and sometimes there are just a handful of sewists depending on the timings. I’m retired so have attended a couple of weekday daytime events. Everyone is really friendly and it’s lovely to have some company in my sewing room 😊 I’m sure you’ll enjoy the experience ❤ Much more fun than proper office work zoom meetings 😂

Love the dress. What if you added ties at the side seam that could be tied in the back which would make it fit a little bit closer?

Cute!! Keep up the good work!

I think it's great what you have done with the shirts, brilliant idea with the pockets.

I blame Wimbledon too for the weather, it usually rains. I had a RaRa skirt when I was younger. I loved them mine was blue, yellow and pink.

Very nice!

Thank you for sharing. I love that style shirt also. I never even thought about color blocking, but once you showed your makes, it is ideal really. Great job with all the tops and dresses, they all look great. I totally agree about the red fabric with the flower pattern. It appears to be an exact match. Just not sure if I could pull off the bright red, as it always seems to make me look a lot larger than I am, and I certainly don't need assistance. Thanks again, just found your channel today, will definitely follow you along as you go. Great to meet you. U.S.

I like listening to you.

It is amazing what can be done with a small space which accommodates work, sewing, bookmaking, crochet, toy making etc. absolutely incredible. Thank you for sharing- it is encouraging for us all with small spaces. I am lucky to have a reasonably sized bedroom. Love, love the dogs. Happy Sewing 😊. Lynne

Real sunshine vibes……..a new holiday dress, great vlog btw xxxxxx

I love how your projects turned out. You should adjust the neckline. The neckline is too wide for you. The length should be shortened by half an inch and it will stay on your shoulders and still go over your head.

Oh i hadnt looked at all the images of others making this! I dont think they increased armhole opening as the sizes got bigger on the pattern! I can see the larger sizes are not sitting correctly. It has an invisible dropped shoulder because its T shape. So larger sizes as most in that category, I am now, also have larger busts and some back or under arm girth. You cant just increase pattern all around outside. Id try redrawing under arm seam at least an inch! You can always pin fit or baste and make smaller! The no dart looks have an invisibie dart! Its how it falls. Same as A line dresses with no bust darts, its the room to flow into soft gathers that is the darts. You cant compare to a no bust size 8..which I was in my 20s! Now im 1X and had two 10 lb kids and I'm 69! Massive learning on my life long sewing to accommodate the mum tum and a bust!

I like this pattern! I was taught because im really old to measure all my patterns in between seam lines and compare to my own adding 2 inches ease!

The fibre mood skirt looks lovely and the green stripe is fab. You did make me laugh with the circus tent but I actually think it looks really wearable!

Often the bust and hip measurements are often printed on the tissue pattern pieces rather than the back of the envelope. Hope this helps in future.

Lovely dresses. Hope your feeling better 💐

I usually love the fabric, but if I get one that’s not my favorite, I make a new pattern too. I usually end up loving it! Great quality fabrics feel so nice to wear. I also got the grey last month. I got the blue this month.

Such lovely makes well done!

I love the flowers Shelly, what a great piece to save from your dressing gown!

Oh thanks for reminding me I have the Bardon pattern and I have been meaning to make it for ages, I just have way too many patterns 😅 love the version you are wearing by the way! Also hope you are feeling better by now x

Yes! It does feel like free fabric 😂

I really like this style of vlog! Thanks for clabbering the bits together. It seemed like a fabulous weekend.

Love the green and red. Inspired to get sewing 😊

It’s definitely fruit salad!

Oooo … that pattern Co. is new to me so I’ll enjoy checking them out … thanks

Very innovative!

Comment no.2 … my machine sometimes gets picky with thread other than Gutterman so l feel I’ve won the battle by using it in the bobbin only … just to use the thread … hate throwing stuff away

I think the bright colours look fabulous on you! As an aside, I’ve dyed fabric in the past and even though I followed the instructions to the letter it did still turn out patchy … it was a solid so maybe slight patches won’t show on your ‘patchy’ sort of fabric print … also polyester thread won’t dye well … good luck!

It’s so funny that the photos I inserted seem to have moved from where I put them but the words stayed right 😂 so apologies for any confusion

The pj’s look great. Your top and the fabric look great together. I’ve got this cold, it’s my energy levels that are suffering as well

Love your pj's , and top is gorgeous. Thank you😊

Cute top. Nice work. Man I hate trying to put together down loadable patterns. I can't make heads or tails of them.

I like the top that you made. And the fabric is beautiful ❤

Great ideas!

❤

Love your video. This popped into my feed unexpectedly, and I'm so glad I took a look! Your eye for color blocking is terrific. I LOVE the pink velour & patterned viscose combination -- I never would have thought to put together those fabrics but you were exactly right, they look perfect. I'll watch for more videos. You're doing great!

Ypur color blocking is sew perfect thanks for posting your videos up You have inspired me to have a go at up liading my own videos to you tube look forward to your next one all the very best to you in the future xx

Looks good.

Great video Thanks for sharing. Suggestion for first top....cut open sides and add in panels- further colour blocking

I just received my box too & got the same colourway as you 😀 I absolutely love this month’s box 🤩 x

Fun video! As for that cute top that’s too small, open the sides and add a 1” - 2” wide strip of fabric by the length of the cuff to the hem. Could use one of the same fabrics or a strips of black fabric, sew it on each side, and you will have an enlarged top and even more color blocking!

I have no idea what happened to my comment, but I watched your video, and I absolutely love your sewing area! I hope you get this message this time.
