[@stitchandstylebynadia]

Hi Eveline. Thank you so much for your kind comment - I really appreciate it. 🥰❤️

[@sewsarahstitch]

I love your Donny!! ❤

[@stitchandstylebynadia]

Awww, thank you! Each time I’ve worn it it has improved on me so I hope it’ll get some wear. I am planning on making another with some tweaks pretty soon. ❤️

Nadia, you are the queen of alterations! Absolutely love your Lyra and looking forward to seeing it in your IG posts. Have a lovely relaxing holiday xx

[@stitchandstylebynadia]

Thanks so much, Vicky. I’ll wear my crown with pride! 👸 And I appreciate your feedback on my Lyra. I can’t wait to wear it. I’m loooking forward to my holiday very much. ❤️

Nadia, I've just been watching Gemini Stitches, and she gave you a shoutout. So glad she did! 😊

[@stitchandstylebynadia]

Hi Carol. Thanks for letting me know and for watching my vlogs. I’m having a little break at the moment but I hope to be back soon. X

I had the same issues with my Donny - I lengthened both the arms and body and I sewed the centre front up 1 inch higher - had to redraft the angle of the front and facing to allow for the extension of the centre seam. Well done with all your makes 😊

[@stitchandstylebynadia]

Thanks so much! And I’m pleased to read I’m not alone with the fitting on the Donny. You have inspired me to make the changes and give it another go, so thanks for sharing your experiences with me. ❤️

You did a beautiful job with keeping that t-shirt symmetrical! I struggle with everything.😮😅

[@stitchandstylebynadia]

Hi Zelda. Thank you. It’s definitely not perfect! I find everything a struggle too sometimes so I can relate and I often need to remind myself to find the joy in the imperfections and enjoy the process of making and learning. We shouldn’t put too much pressure on ourselves! 🤗❤️

[@ZeldaSews]

@stitchandstylebynadia You are so right! My husband tells me the same thing so I guess I need to listen to the advice of those that are wise! See you later or I will see you tomorrow on Friday Sews.😀

[@stitchandstylebynadia]

I would have loved to do a Friday Sews but I’m taking a week off because I’m doing a running event. But hopefully I’ll be back next week! Take care and have a lovely weekend. Happy sewing!

[@ZeldaSews]

@@stitchandstylebynadia Have fun!

[@pinkpaulasews4929]

Hi Nadia, do you think you could size down on the Donny? Xx

[@stitchandstylebynadia]

Hi Paula. Thanks for the suggestion. I made size large and I am happy with the fit. I’m always a bit scared of sizing down but I think it could help a bit with how low it is. I’m going to have a play with the pattern and I do have the lines for the medium. 👍 Thanks for watching and commenting. 🥰❤️
