    They are all beautiful tops and look so nice on you! Hard to pick a favorite. You are so right about the ironing as a disincentive to wearing woven tops - mine usually get worn for a day or two, washed and put aside to be ironed and never worn again that year...

    I really like the turquoise top on you, and I'm faced with an FBA , same (only reverse) problem: increaseing the top also increases the waist, which I don't need. Add a wedge to top only? 🤷‍♀️ I love this pattern so much I'm just going to struggle through it.

    I love all your choices and would add that the estella with the matching skirt looked really great so please don't get rid of that skirt. Also, I think the Giulia skirt would look great with a black or navy T or top... I tend to like a patterned skirt with a solid top. Anyway, I'm so impressed with your skills, agree with your choices and especially with anything linen these days.

    Where did you find this pipeline of vintage Coach bags?! I worked for Coach from '95-'98 so a lot of these are like old friends. :) I feel like the Madhu top needs more balance on the bottom. The puff sleeve is really strong and you don't have anything at all on the bottom to balance it out like you did with the Pendrell and flares. I also find it interesting that the two pieces you said you don't know what to pair with, B6895 and Giulia skirt, seem to me the most versatile. I would wear the 6895 with navy, black, denim. To me it goes with almost anything. And same for the skirt. With all those colors you could pair it with virtually and color top and it would work. Thanks for sharing all of this. I really enjoy seeing your handmade wardrobe at work and how thoughtfully you approach it!

    Cool to see how others wear their handmade wardrobe. Thanks for posting this. The bib overall dress issue I see is the bib is worn too high. Lower the straps 1-2 inches and the gape in the bib will be gone. It will also look more flattering on you. The diamond patterned skirt can be worn with a wide range of coordinating solid colored tops. I think that this will give it more life. The jeans in the last clip are my favorite and I love the button fly the best. I would do it in black but that is just me as you know by now. I recently bought some very heavyweight stretch denim in black and will make it from the Daughter Judy Coe Trouser. I will do a button fly instead of a zipper. I'm the opposite of you with shoes, as I tend to wear the same ones for years. My feet are very narrow and finding shoes that fit or foot beds that work with a heel are difficult at best. Doc Martens always fit well even though they are wide, my feet don't slide around. I usually wear super thick wool socks with them, even in summer. Naturalizer narrow shoes are perfect and I don't need to add insoles. Found some leather flats and Mary Janes on Amazon. For most they are too narrow but for me, perfect with a thin leather insole inserted.

    imho, the bib seems too wide but likely it's pulled yp too high: i'd try to loosen the straps to have the top of the bib lower about 3-5cm. if i remember correctly you're shorter than average (i'm too); so, i wonder if you shortened the pattern to fit the height, because if you didn't, maybe - wanting to have your waist in the right place - you compensate too long body of the dress through pulling the straps and heighten the bib which is exactly too wide just under the neck. just my guess. love your outfits & videos :)

    I absolutely love your first outfit. The green looks so good on you and it really goes so well with your skirt. The other outfit I loved is your matching set that you made from the dress. I agree, it looks better on you as a skirt and top. So modern and on trend. I appreciate your editing skills in this video. I really like how you showed each piece on its own as you did the voice over before modeling. Having the pieces on the screen really allows for the viewer to take it all in. Nice job, Sarah. ❤

    Thank you for an informative video on French pattern companies. I’m curious to venture out and try a few. I like the details that make them look special. Sewing brings me challenge, joy and satisfaction even when a project doesn’t turn out as well as I thought it should because I always learn something new.

    You did an amazing job of finding pattern matches! This video (nordy sale diy's) was my very first video 4 years ago 😂 I love these types of videos. 🌸 I love that IAM Merlin coat...alas, I have no need 😢 For the Gemina pintuck dress, the Style Arc Xanthe would also be a good option. 🌸 Excellent job Sara!!!

    My very favorite post to help with the “want” that other sales posts create! Thank you so very much!! It helps that your style is one I vibe with, I can see myself making all of these.
