Ah thanks Jan, it is such a different style to what I normally wear, but I absolutely love wearing it when I do. It feels very feminine and it is fun swishing around in something so girly for a change. We are all ok thanks, hope you are too.
Thanks Jill, yes I always seem to work with a mixture of both it just depends what I have in my head and who has a pattern that best matches it. I think it gives us so much more choice if we dare to try some different brands.
Thank you so much Lucy, I really really enjoyed watching you telling us about the different makes, and assuring newbies, how easy they are to make. I really really can’t believe how much patterns cost now. I haven’t brought a pattern for some time, but, the cost is very prohibited. I go to a charity shop, that stocks used patterns, that are fine. Depending upon what you want, there’s not the wide range of patterns, but for newbies it could be a starting point. Please stay safe and well too xxx Mags
hi there! i enjoyed the reccomendations and would be ready to order the first one, the straight skirt.. but i'm a little worried.. it would be my first pattern ever. is there any chance you could do a sew along video to show us how you make it from scratch? .. thanks in advance
Lucy did you sew the pink top in this first skirt pattern you are showing in this video ? It's pink knit with gathering at the top of sleeves. I like the sleeves & the neckline. If you did what sewing pattern did you use for that top please ? Thank you.
Yes i did, it was the Rowan T by Megan Nielsen and you can find it here www.sewessential.co.uk/rowan-fitted-tee-bodysuit-megan-nielsen-sewing-pattern-2106
I wouldn't recommend trousers for a beginner, which is why I left them out of this video, but if you are a beginner I would go for something loose fitting if possible because they are easier to fit.
@@SewEssential Thank you for the link. I need fittings skills too! I will see if I need the round back adjustment. I heard of a large abdomen adjustment (or similar wording), can you direct me about that?
I love those patterns, and all of them are very versatile. Great video
Thanks, Lucy. That flirty fuller skirt looks adorable on you. Hope you and yours are well. 💚💚💚

@@SewEssential All's quiet on the western (U.S.) front, so to speak. I thought it looked gorgeous and really suited you. Take care. 💚💚💚
Great ideas. Thank you for sharing
I enjoyed this video and like the way you featured patterns from the newer and also the traditional pattern companies.

What are some good patterns for making trousers?
