Hello Sarah
Hoop nie jy gee om dat ek Afrikaans praat, maar na my man se dood praat ek nooit Afrikaans in Engeland.
Jou nuutste vollengte romp is pragtig en ek dink nie jy moet iets verander.
Vollengte rompe laat kort mense langer lyk.
Dit is so mooi dat jy rompe dra wanneer meeste vrouens net langbroeke dra.
Ek 73 dra ook net rompe en veral denim rompe.
Baie lekker teen die vel.
Ek is baie sensitief en kan gladnie wol dra nie.
Viskose is my geliefde materiaal en sê altyd ek wens ek kan lakens van viskose kry.
Jou romp van verlede week het ook mooi gepas en ek hou daarvan dat hy nie plooitjies voor gehad het nie.
Soos een van die ander mense was my trourok ook ñ empire line. 1972.
Ek is besig om ñ kombers te hekel.
Dit is ñ kit en die kleure is mooi.
Maar vandat ek jou kombers gesien het, gaan ek regtig so ñ vry kombers hekel.
Jou huis is pragtig en laat my baie aan my huis in Suid Africa dink, veral jou matte op die hout vloere.
Baie dankie dat jy elke dag vir my iets gee wat my hart ook laat spring.
Liefde daar.
Sarah, your skirt is lovely. I laughed because we always point out all the "mistakes" like most women and crafters! Why do we do that?! If you didn't say anything, I would have never noticed the cherries are sideways. As I age, I am trying to be kinder to myself. Now I tell everyone that those "mistakes" prove that it is handmade and my signature! You do LOVELY work and please don't shortchange your talents! Oh, the green portion of a flower is the stem and the tool to rip out stitches is called a seam ripper in English. Thank you for sharing your daily life with us. It's like chatting with a friend :)
Love your “dutchy English”. It is delightful!! Your crafts are beautiful and inspiring!!!
Hello Sarah, your 70s skirt is lovely. Do not worry about cotton being a bit stiff in the beginning, it only means it is good quality and it will soon soften, the more you wear it and wash it.
I got married in 1975. I made my wedding dress which had 3 tiers similar to your shirt. Loving your daily podcasts 😊
Your crochet blanket is heart jumping to me!❤❤❤ HAPPY CANADA 🇨🇦 DAY It is a holiday here🎉🎉🎉
Try taking pockets off carefully with a sewing seam ribber, then resew pockets on skirt button side. You can do this on a newer garment as it shouldn’t have any fading of the fabric. Just a suggestion, good luck. A friend from San Francisco Bay Area, CA USA.
oh, Sarah, I love the sweet little cactus projects! I had a thought about the round one with the pink (salmon? coral?) flower: use a button (your famous extra one? ;) to secure it with a little length of yarn through the drain hole. Maybe that would make it wobble, though...You inspire creative thinking regardless! 🤎🌵
When you say wooly tattoos do you mean embroidery? I mean do you know that and that's 'Sarah's word' for it. I think you are such a lovely person and I look forward to Aug. Enjoy your break. OK back to the video... Oh wait, you're my friend too! I am in TN in the US but would be thrilled to be your neighbor!
End of flower in English is called the (stem). Love the vest pattern needs to be in English! Maybe the designer will write the pattern in English so we can knit one. Thank you for all you do. As someone said (we are friends). Hello from your San Francisco Bay Area, CA USA, friend.
I just love your Prague blanket! One of the words you were looking for today… Chronological. 🤎🤎🤎
Wow the song bird skirt looks great on you! I think it makes you look taller rather than shorter. What a beautiful 1970s vibe, I can see why it was a heart jumping process & project. Best wishes 🍒🧡🤎💚
Also, do you mean the stem of the flower? The long straight part where the leaves and flower come from? And OMG. You are 20 years younger than I am! I feel so old..... I'm short also, around 157 cm? Is that how you measure? Do you have to shorten your skirts all the time? The ones you have purchased as opposed to making? I was wondering, since I always have the shortness issue. You look great in that floor length skirt!
Depending on how much fabric you have left from making a great skirt, make pillow cases, & you will have a heart jumping moment when using pillow cases to cover your sleeping pillows. Can find a free pattern online!
So happy to see that sewing is giving you joy! I love sewing, knitting and crochet, especially sewing as it can bring such quick results. Your skirt is adorable and useful-those pockets! I often baste a seam before sewing it which allows me to be sure it’s where I want it. I usually just use the longest machine stitch without backstitching either end. That way I can simply pull out the basting thread when I’m finished. xo
In Germany we used to have the same tradition when it came to marriýing - like until about 30-40 years ago girls collected everything you neede for their own household like bedsheets, plates, cuttlery, cups, glasses etc So when they got married they had evereything they needed for their household or at least most things. In German it is called "Aussteuer"
Would you please be able to film a little bit more of doing the drop stitch next time? I'm a very visual learner and I was following your method, not tutorial, when you should us but I could use seeing a bit more of it so I can get the hang of the rhythm of the stitches together. I can't do that rewinding each time. Thank you! ❣️💙🙏
Your skirt is beautiful, it looks so free and easy to wear. When I got married in 1968 it was the custom here in the UK to buy home items for your 'bottom drawer'. Each month I would buy a small household item or make a pillow case or table napkin so that there were things to start furnishing my new home with my husband.🇬🇧
In Germany the collecting of all kinds of things to bring into a marriage by young women is called: Aussteuer. In English it is called a dowry. 🙂
Your songbird skirt looks lovely on you, enjoy swishing it and twirling in it, and of course, those pockets! 🤩😍🤩
I love the songbird skirt, it’s making me want to learn more about sewing 😄
Maybe some day you can do a quick turn of your camera so we can see the postman? 😂😂
Have a nice week ✨
So I LOVE your songbird skirt💗what a lovely name for a garment! Your vest is lovely as well but when you added the flowers my heart JUMPED!!! So beautiful. Sarah, you really are a friend I look forward to watching each day! Thank you for taking the time to make these daily episodes
It sounds like you are having a lot of sewing learning opportunities. It’s a good thing. I do like your granny square blanket and I don’t normally like granny squares. I think the 2 sizes is what makes it so different.
STEM....the green part of the flower is the stem....lovely podcast!
Sarah, I'll be 73 in September and so enjoy you. Your skirt is good the way it is.
Creating your bottom draw for when you get married. I don’t think people do this anymore.😊
Sarah, The tool used to take seams apart is a "seam ripper". Great episode. Keep on sewing! You're doing great!
Love the woolly tattoo on your vest. You have inspired me to try some embroidery on knits. I think I will start using some old gauge swatches to practice with.
Seam ripper. Trousseau. Words you wanted so far. Still watching, but how lovely -- the skirt is beautiful, your new vest is lovely too!
I had a tiered skirt, which i made in the 1960s, so iveont wear them now! Tier is pronounced as tear (from the eyes not tear as in tearing a piece of paper)
In England, we call what you described as "outset", "a bottom drawer".
Love your daily episodes i
Look foward to watching it at night here in Australia
Love the skirt ❤
So beautiful skirts. I love them all ans I Can Say you are not too small for long skirts. It suits you so nice 👌❤️
The songbird skirt looks great!
We call the tool to remove stitches a seam ripper.
☺️
I am so excited to see you sewing! Your skirt is perfect- not too wide! I sew my own clothes too, it is the best when you make just what you want!
Love your skirt, and all the knitting. Wish your vest was a pattern in english, so nice, and I also love your yarn tatoos, very pretty. Thank you for sharing. :)
I love your blanket, I now want to make myself some skirts for warmer weather.
Seam ripper is the tool. How do you spell the Dutch word for it?
14:21 we call it a seam ripper! ❤
I love your crocheted flowers and succulents!
Seam ripper is the name of the little tool to take out sewn seams. A flower has a stem with leaves.
I love your songbird skirt-it fits perfectly and the fabric is fantastic.
I really loved this episode. 💚🧶💚
One can say the stem of the flower😊
The word is stem for the green part of a flower!
It is the seam ripper (tool) Sarah😊
You accomplished so many tasks during the day! I was very impressed! I love your song bird skirt. I think it is perfect the way it is wider at the second and third tiers….we pronounce like tear from your eye😢 when you cry. I am looking forward to seeing your new fabrics and yarn that you ordered. I purchased some yarn from Wool Wearhouse for the very first time, and am excited to get it, too. We have a UPS driver that is very handsome. 😊 We call him eye candy….ha ha ha. Your blanket is beautiful. I want to make one now. See you tomorrow!
I was born in 1981 as well! We call the thing to cut sewing stitches a Quick Unpick in Australia because it quickly unpicks the seam. I absolutely love your cherry skirt. The leftover material would be cute to make curtains or cushions or some other accessory for your new caravan.
We call it a hope chest.
Your song bird skirt is lovely. I think instead of the pleats it would be gathered. But your skirt is very cute. I would love to crochet . But I knit . Oh well thank you b=very much for the daily pod casts. It is inspiring. 🤎
Sarah! This new podcast format is so inspiring! It’s so fun to see all your incredible creative moments unfold, in beautiful cacti, gorgeous sewn garments, and “ Woolley tattoos! “. And your musical choices in the background add even more life and joy. I relate to your viewer who said you are her special friend! I feel like I know you and I look forward to each new episode. Thank you for sharing so much of your creative life with all of us!
With love from Katie in Maine USA🧦🧶💕
Sarah, I love your granny square blanket! I especially love that it uses 2 sizes of granny squares. Your cacti are SO CUTE! Just adorable. Thanks for another enjoyable episode!
Those pockets would be easy to move to the front of the skirt. I love how you have used what you have to make what you would rather have. Your sewing skills are growing.
The word you were looking for to describe the order that you did things is chronological. You speak English very well and I love to hear you talk. Have you ever been to the US?
I’m loving your daily videos. Don’t stop.
Sarah, your skirt looks lovely on you! The print is perfect for that pattern. 🍒
I was born the same year as you. 😃
I love your comments about the mailmen. 😄 📬
Wow! The Songbird skirt looks very good! Love the deep pockets.
You are becoming great at sewing! Love, love, love the Progue blanket.
I totally agree with wearing long skirts! They have been my favorite for a long time. It always feels so much cooler in the summer heat to be in a skirt. Also, when you’re in a skirt you are ready for anything - you can go out to a restaurant or just a walk in the park. You are so inspiring every time I watch you. I agree with your other viewer, I consider you my friend in the Netherlands. We are so much alike it amazes me. I love your skirt - it’s your style.❤. Your blanket is absolutely magnificent. I love it 🥰
Wonderful 70s inspired skirt and Prague blanket. Love them. You are very talented. I am inspired ❤
Oh what a perfect skirt for you Sarah❤ It looks lovely and the fabric is gorgeous🎉
❤❤
What a great idea for your dresses into skirts! ❤❤❤❤
Loving the skirt Sarah. It looks very nice on you. Much love x❤
The skirt looks darling on you!
You look amazing in the long skirt ❤❤❤
Sarah your sewing is beautiful! You inspire me to try a skirt too for our summer! ❣️
Hello. Ready to enjoy another episode.
In the US, when you save items for your married life, people used to put them in a chest and called it a "hope chest". Not very many people do that anymore, but they still collect items they need to start their married life with. Although many people also get things like that at wedding showers, a party before the wedding to supply the couple with basic items.
I’ve heard of Hope Chest and Glory Box, but in Scotland (at least back in my day) we used to have a “Bottom Drawer”. Someone might give you a gift and say, “put that in your bottom drawer”. 😊
@@margarethastings3332 That's very interesting. I love learning about traditions in other countries. I'm pretty sure nobody uses a hope chest anymore, but I think either one is a great idea.
All your sewing is lovely, Sarah! And I suspect your skirt fabric will soften and relax the more you wash and wear it. Like sheets do 😊 thank you for sharing your handwerk perikelen! It is very heart thumping for me!! And yes! We are friends ❤ have a wonderful day
