Dibs you are a beauty continue what you do I love it and I know what ever you make always looks good and you seem to pick the right fabric. You go girl and you look amazing remember that XXX
I've been reading Atomic Habits for work and trying to apply it to my sewing. I just picked up sewing again when my youngest went off to college; I sewed when I was young but then didn't have access to a machine for years. This week I decided I needed to do a 'high reward' project to keep my interest from waning because my projects so far have been underwhelming. Either the fit is wrong or the fabric is just not quite right for the pattern (even when using a recommended fabric). I didn't actually want to WEAR any of my projects. So this week I made a pair of underwear (Knickers is what they are called in the UK, I think?) I figured there was some room for them to be a bit of a mess while still being better than some of my old pairs...so, reward increases motivation! I am decently pleased with them and ready to tackle another project. Yay, Atomic Habits!
That is brilliant. I should probably copy you and make knickers too. I am currently working on a coat and it will take FOREVER. So I need a quick reward 🤣🤣🤣
Thank you for this video. 6 free patterns is very nice 🤓. You look lovely! I ❤ DVF and remember my Mama in her wrap dresses back in the 70s...brings back great memories🤩
Thank you. You know, I can't remember if DVF was the person who came up with this style, or if she just popularised it, but she got us in a chokehold with wrap dresses 🤣🤣🤣
Hello Dibs! I'm going to hold you to the promise of video #137 being perfect. Though this one is quite outstanding. I'd love to get V2000, but I can't fathom paying $25 for it. Maybe I'll put it on my wish list. In the meantime, I have a few facsimiles that will do nicely. Yes, Atomic Hants is a great book (what I've read of it anyway😁). I too, struggle with getting a video or a project done because the perfectionist voice is a loud beast. But hears to a new year filled with fearlessness and adventure.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣Thank you so much for your kind words about the video. Here is hoping I last till video 137 🤓🤓. About vogue 2000, hopefully when Joann runs their sale, this pattern will also be included and you can get it then? I am always jealous with the pattern sales you have in the US. I am enjoying just taking the pressure off myself when it comes to doing things. That is the same approach I am also going to take with my sewing. I will start sewing just for the sake of enjoying the process, rather than having THEE perfect outfit.
@@dibsandthemachine I'm working reconnecting to the joy I used to feel when I sewed. Unfortunately V2000 will not be in the shops😪. Only available online. Even though I have several patterns that are so similar, FOMO is real! I'd like to V2000 to replace the copy my sister destroyed in 1979!
I just found your video! 😂You’re adorable! Love your honesty ❤😂 I completely understand you.. I have ADHD and loose focus all the time. 😅 your dress is gorgeous!! Did you make it? Would love to see your makes. Please share 🫶🏻🥰
Thank you so much Judy. I am going through the ADHD diagnosis process. The waiting list is horribly long. I have been waiting now for 1 year. Apparently here in the UK, the waiting list is 2 years. I made my dress. Its a basic mcCalls pattern. I can't even remember the number. But it's one of those straight knit dresses
@@dibsandthemachine the health system sometimes is something to be desired. The fabric of your dress is super beautiful! I will checkout your fabric store. Looking forward to your next video. 🤗💕

You go girl and you look amazing remember that XXX
Thanks Sarah 😀. You are very kind😘
You are doing a fantastic job! Be you….the original!!! I’m interested in your techniques/patterns and makes!!!
Thank you Robin. Request received. I will do videos showing my makes too
Seeing you is WONDERFUL! This video IS optimized!! You're a delight to watch and listen to. I feel like I'm having a coffee with a friend!
Thank you sooooo much Wynne. Its been a while to get here, but I am loving this new lease of life 😘😘
My fav is the McCalls 8358 dress, but sewing is way above my arts level. Na here I start make cute eyes at you to sew it for me😊
Sewing is definitely not above your skill set. You just have not decided to try it yet 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I do not like digital patterns so only wanting paper ones. Hopefully you can point me in right direction for them
