My husband calls his bald patch his solar panel it gives him energy🤣
Love that!
Now your husband is a keeper🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣
Keto Diet. Cutting back to 2 meals a day and a daily 18 hour fasting period works wonders!!! I lost 40 lbs. in 4 months without really trying. Wasn't hungry, didn't feel deprived. Takes a couple of weeks to adjust, but works wonders. Good luck on your weight loss effort! Love your fabrics and can't wait to see what you make with them. Like you, I've wanted to get my colors done. However, at 64 yrs. of age, I now seriously don't care what colors look good on me and what doesn't. I gravitate toward deep, rich jewel tones, so that's the direction I go. Life's just too short to really worry about that others think. l noticed about 40 yrs. ago that I can't wear bright turquoise. Gives my skin a sickly yellow color hue, so I avoid it. Other than that, I've just worn whatever I like and whatever makes me happy. You should, too! You're a very beautiful woman. Your inner beautiful shows on your lovely face. That's what really counts!
The stash table beauty would make a grand pair of palazzo pants!
Well there you are being adorable again, celebrating all things sewing, family and travel! Love it! Thank you for mentioning me in your Vlog. Hugs from Oregon again. So weird to think that I was in Dublin eating breakfast just three days ago! You no doubt feel the same way about having been to Turkey. YAY for you and your family. Wish that I’d had more money when my kids were young to take them traveling to a different culture. We used to go camping a lot when they were young. Oregon and Washington are awesome places to go camping…
Sounds like you had a lovely relaxing break Ruan. Great photos, hotel looks lovely! Beautiful fabrics as always and that dress is just gorgeous and i think you'd really suit it. Thanks lovely 😻❤
Thanks so much lovely ☺️
I think Lyra is your dress for work or anywhere and the Zadie... You look amazing in both of those .. I also love your pink checked blazer.... Your holiday looks wonderful..
So glad you a great holiday and enjoyed the cocktails. All your makes look fantastic. I love watching you and the Northern Sewl Sisters. Thank you for such a lovely channel.
You’re my favourite sewing TH-camr . I always look up your videos when I’m going to make something, you give lots of hints and tips and tell it how it is. I want my colours done too so will be interested to see how you get on . I’ve grown my colour out so am a kind of salt a pepper grey, after being similar to you. Anyway thank you for the videos, looking forward to the next one x
Hi Ruan delighted you had a fantastic holiday lovely family,enjoy the boys they grow up so fast 😊 I❤
I’m so happy that you had a wonderful family holiday ☀️. I loved the pic of the boys in their matching outfits , they are so handsome . I totally get the ‘lost’ feeling .. I am so there at the moment too . Nothing in my summer wardrobe fits me either , very sad about a few of my fav dresses 😢. I can’t wait to hear how you get on at the colour consultation, that sounds amazing. ❤
Ruan you are a blessing you make me smile. I am very interested in how your color style works. I am so happy you and your beautiful family had a wonderful vacation and I love that your husband boss took his phone. I would give anything for my husband to loose his just once. I am pretty sure that's not ever going to happen. Lol
Glad you had a lovely holiday !I can see cropped landers in your animal print denim !I bought and have toiled the wrap jumpsuit and was seriously tempted by the dress too ! Look forward to hearing about your colours 😊
Hope you enjoy your colour analysis. I had mine done today and now know that the a fair amount of the fabrics I have chosen in the past plus my make up are not the colours that flatter me. It was fascinating. She put a lipstick on that I would not have chosen in a million years and at first I thought I wouldn’t wear it. At the end of the session and with the make up that was right for my colour I had to buy the lipstick as it looked so good on me. I now need to buy more fabric in the right colours - win win
Family holidays are just the best xx
My husband has been using sunscreen as “hair gel” for years when we go away😂 Glad you had a great holiday. As a previous business owner I can fully appreciate when you can go away without a work phone now
Loriann is like the professional photo bomber of the TH-cam sewing world. Love it ❤
LOL Andrea! That really made me laugh. I’m just living my dream of traveling the world meeting sewing people! I saved up all my life to travel, I just never knew that I’d be meeting all the best sewing people in the world as well! Isn’t Ruan just a doll? She just cracks me up. Hugs from Oregon. So weird to think that I had breakfast in Dublin just three days ago…
@@loriannpayne4483 I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoy watching 😊
You will love finding out your colours. I had mine done years ago and l'm a Warm Spring. Think you are on the warm side too some type of Autumn. Makes such a difference to clothes shopping and now fabric shopping too. Looking forward to seeing how you get on. The colours of the top you are wearing today look lovely on you by the way. Your holiday looked fab. 💜
So glad you had a lovely holiday, Ruan. I think the pink fabric you picked up at sewtoon would look great as a Saltwater slip. I have also been thinking about having my colours done, so I hope you do a vlog on your experience with it. Have a lovely weekend!
I got my colours, make up, and style done when I was 26 (I'm 62 now😅) and it was wonderful. My brother gave me a gift certificate to have it all done, while I was still in the hospital after having given birth to my son by c-section (just when we feel our most pale , most bedraggled and confused since our bodies have just gone through the biggest change of our lives, and in my case, I felt my ugliest too). It was probably the nicest, most thoughtful, and touching gift I've ever received in my life, all the more so because my brother came up with it completely on his own, and he is high functioning autistic (as a rule, they tend not to be able to recognise, empathise and hone in on the feelings of others. He hit the nail on the head with this gift). I turned out to be a rich, deep, tawny Autumn for colouring, and classic town and country for style, and it even came with an hour of shopping with the consultant to find examples of clothing that would look the best on me, and having my make-up done afterwards. It was amazing! The funny thing was that before having my colours done, I always dressed in summer colours, with an occasional bit of spring added in, which were probably the worst things I could wear. Now looking back, it was likely because I wanted to disappear and not stand out or be noticed (my insecurities of youth). Now I love wearing my colours. And you would love this one- she told me that one of my best prints is animal print. Lol.
I feel you with the weight thing and the not knowing quite what I want to make. I've bought a few nice summer things off Vinted and that's made me realise what I want to sew because they're the things I'm reaching for every day, not my handmade cotton dresses. I'm loving viscose midi dresses and light trousers with tshirts, so I'm going to make a midi Lyra dress, maybe an Indigo and some TATB Safiya trousers. My weight has changed a fair bit over the last few years so things with elasticated waists and tie belts are my friend! It does make me sad though as I have some really beautiful cottons in my stash, but they're realistically what I want to wear at the moment.
You pick colors naturally
that are fitting for you
Hi Ryan so glad you had a lovely holiday and family time. Believe me those lovely boys will grow up so quickly, my boys are 31 now and I don’t know how that happened. Really interested to hear how your colours go. I have recently lost weight but have had surgery after treatment and not sure what my body shape and size is anymore. It’s so good to hear your chats and know lots of us can get lost for different reasons. Good luck
Hello friend! Glad you had a good time with the family. It’s important to spend time with your family while they are young. Yep, my husband has a not-to-be-mentioned bald spot along with the salt and pepper hair 😂. He’s a handsome guy. My own silver fox! Love the fabric! Thank you for sharing! Your friend Diane ❤
I am loving your hair color up against your dress it blends so well And I love your videos tutorials also
Thank you so much!
I think you have amazing style! I had my colours done about 15 years ago and it was brilliant. You can literally see how the different colours affect your face. I’m autumn which I was a bit disappointed about as they are really not the colours I’m drawn to - but I just aim for the ones I do like in that colour palette, and it’s quite amazing how people say ‘you look well’ when you wear them and I look less washed out in photos. However I still wear the colours I love too, because life’s too short not to! Thanks for the lovely vlogs, I find them so inspiring. Except I was listening to this one on a dog walk this morning and tripped over a tree root while looking at fabric you held up 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This made me giggle Kelly 🤭
I have to say the reds are what people say suits me but my favourite colour is blue 🧐
Thanks for sharing the colour consultants Ruan. A friend and I have been thinking about doing this too so very interested to see how you find it. Sure it will be a fun experience 😊
Isn’t weight a pain in the arse.! You always look fab. That Palmona dress is 🤩
When you have your colors done… they will tell you that you are a Winter. Lots of Royal brights, & icy tones too. White is better than off white. Silver better than gold.. (but I love my 14k) Universal business colors for all are Coral, Camel, Navy, Turquoise, Of course Navy & Turquoise will suit you better. Let’s see if I’m correct. 🤞
Your holiday pictures are sooo cute! And btw - I also love sneezing 😂😂
ha ha - not just me then!
… loved this heartfelt chat Ruan ., 💙.. we always need a pause to reassess our needs and wants throughout life , change is growth , growth is living … I literally just got my colours done (online color guru ) and received my swatch this morning in an email … I am a twilight (deep) autumn … and like you just bought fabrics that I liked , two or three weeks ago I started sewing up a light baby blue button up shirt and it’s been just waiting for the sleeves to be finished , I could not understand why I had lost all my mojo and it was right after I’d put the collar on and had a fitting , I did not like it on me .. but put it off to just being too tired to finish and walked away … now I know that my colour palette does not include any pastels or light colours at all , and I’ve gone through my closet wearing only autumn colours for the last week and getting comments from my co workers , who now want to get their colours done too., it makes sense to me that with all the work that goes into actually sewing our own clothes they should look absolutely fabulous on our skin tone as well .. I am so excited to see what your colour is , wonder if they would let you record it for us to watch here on TH-cam ?? … anyhow lastly body weight is such a personally vulnerable journey , thank you for sharing it with us I wish you well .. I eat a vegan diet and intermittent fast for 22-24 hours a day eating one meal only ( one really big meal ) ., I am 48 and had been over weight my whole life and once I went vegan at 33 I lost 145 pounds and never looked back .. my tip is choose a lifestyle YOU can sustain and not what you think works for others … good luck 💙💙 as always , it’s like chatting with an old friend … great big Canadian /Portuguese hug to you Ruan xoxo 💙💙💙
The denim in a skirt along with the cobalt as a top would make an awesome set together! I'd make some super easy basic dresses with ties to keep them breezy and will fit you no matter how much you enjoy your holidays ;)
I hope you enjoy your colour analysis! It’s great. For your new work clothes how about the Lyra dress or Reeta? 😊
I had my colors done and it has helped me understand what looks good on me. I seem to have no insight into what I should be wearing, either in colors or to compliment my shape. In the program I did, I’m a Moonlit Summer, so cool muted colors look best on me, no red, brown, black or beige. I’m very fair with light blue eyes. I once had strawberry blond hair but it’s turned white. So cool blues, purples, certain pink’s, raspberry, sage greens. Navy is my black. I find I can wear something non-Moonlit Summer on my bottom half, and wear the cool colors on top especially near my face and I’m not washed out. I also say, if I like something, I wear it.
I’ve recently had my colours done and shape analysis. So I can now have a better idea of what colours and shapes will suit me. Rather than make things and then them not suit me. You can still wear other colours and styles if you love them. 😍
I had my colors done by created colorful. I really loved it. I was very surprised by the results. It was definitely worth it.
Love to hear what your colours are. I would guess that warm colours suit you best.
I’ll wager a deep autumn! The gift of colour, what a lovely present to receive, enjoy 👍
So glad you had a fabulous time in Turkey with your lovely family 🥰... My hubby and I went quite a few years ago now and we had a wonderful time. I loved the food there too and not to have to think about cooking... bliss 😜. Loving your fabric and plans👌. Really looking forward to seeing how you get on with your colour analysis... but animal print can be in any colour can't it as it's neutral 😜😁🤗💖😘
Lovely to hear your little catch up. Have a fab time getting your colours done. My sister and I treated our Mum to it for her birthday a little while ago and she loved it. She loves it for her fabric buying and I think you’re going to love it too. ❤
Bless you 💖
You won't necessarily have to give up the colours you love, just find the right tone. It was a game changer for me when i had my colours done.
Lovely video, Ruan,
Re work wear - Tiffany from Hoosier Handmade posted recently a video about patterns she used for work wear outfits.
If you make some plain trousers/skirts/ capri pants, plus a bunch of shorty sleeve/flutter sleeve blouses, you can mix and match easily.
Glad you had lovely holidays
I had my colours done years ago (probably about 20/25) money well spent and still have my swatches. I’m autumn colours and no longer wear black white or pastel colours near my face. Makes shopping for fabric so much easier as can hone in on the ones which you know will up lift me rather than wash me out. Enjoy ❤
Your two boys look smashing ❤❤
Iv made a fringe dress with the slub viscose, unfortunately i clicked it in a couple of places so my advice is to handle it carefully!
It's always lovely to hear what you have been up to. I really need to look into having my colours done. My style would be good too! I'm so glad you had a lovely holiday xxx
I’ve made a dress in the leopard print denim x
Getting your colours done will be awesome to see what suits and will allow you to be more mindful with fabric shopping. I just got the "colours" app and 12 months on I have been much more mindful in what I get. Style consultations will be great too. It will also help you to see what styles really flatter your body now and when you've reached your goal- speaking of which, 'I've been intermittent fasting this year and it's been working (me being 47 with all the hormones doing crazy things I "fast like a girl" and I've managed to shrink the body!) You still eat, no restriction just have a designated "eating window" and it's great. I think it's a really goo thing that you have decided to really focus on sewing things that are going to be worn. I've been doing that myself - I live in jeans alot of the time because I'm on the farm working with livestock so a dress and heels is not required. I have been focussing on making clothes that I can wear to work off farm - I'm training to be a teacher's assistant as a sort of career change but not really and so I'm making things that I can wear at school. With the style consult you can find out what your signature style is and go with what works within that and that will also increase the likelihood of the garment being worn because it's your style. I can't wait to see what you find out and discover.
I’m very interested in hearing about your experience with finding your colors! I am interested in doing it as well. Loved hearing about your holiday to Turkey! Looks like an amazing trip!
Had my colours done years ago, it helps so much with clothes and fabric buying. I thought I wouldn’t change my ways but you do eventually xx
Fun stuff. I had my colors done in January. It was great and I am so glad I did it, but I only had 3 things in my closet that were in my palette.🙄. I also want to have the style consultation as like you I really struggle and I have put on a lot of weight in the last two years and everything feels off. Can’t wait to see your color results.
Just ordered the Paloma Dress it’s gorgeous! I’ve also made the Patsy Overalls from Ready to Sew in linen really pleased with it so going to have a go at the Paloma Dress now 🌸
Love the chat and yes it’s Steph 😂!! Had a lovely time and great catch up. Hopefully we’ll get together soon. It’s annoying when you don’t fit into something that you’ve made, I’ve found this out lately too, so going to have try and watch what I eat again, otherwise I’m going to have reprint the pattern and do bigger size, yikes! So much work goes into sewing your own wardrobe ❤
So funny to hear someone say they love sneezing, as my partner hates it and says so every time 😂
Can't wait to hear about your colour analysis, and how it impacts your sewing planning process.
Have you read the book The Curated Closet by Anuschka Rees, or considered doing the Design Your Wardrobe program by Seamwork? They might give you some structure and direction for thinking about how you want to approach your wardrobe.
I’m really interested to hear all about your colour consultation ❤
Thank you so much for sharing #sewbloodpressureuk23! I really hope you have enough time to join in! Xx
Love the fabrics!! Do you think the hot pink fabric could be made into shorts? Are they see through. I live in US and would like to order them!!! Thanks!!!
Sorry only just seen this. I don’t think First 4 Fabrics send internationally I’m afraid 🙈
On the topic of summer work wear that can adapt to changing body shape/size, would wrap patterns help? Love to Sew did a recent podcast about sewing for a changing body too.
Someone told me once that a sneeze is like a nose orgasm! Lol
🤣
Hi Ruan! I totally get the weight thing, since I hit my mid 40’s my waist has vanished! I’ve gone from having a 33 inch to a 38 inch waist and I don’t know how it’s happened! As I’m new to sewing I’m really struggling to find a pattern that I think will suit me. I’ve just made the Sabina skirt but I’d like to make a nice dress but I’m not sure what to go for. Also, can I ask your advice, I’ve got 4 metres of a gorgeous gingham seersucker fabric, when I wash it do I press the fabric before cutting or will it iron out the texture? ❤
Im sorry, but I'm belly laughing at you saying that you love sneezing 😅.
I had my colours done years ago but my hair was a different colour then and i was told I'd have to have it done again to go with the hair. So I haven't bothered, but I'm interested to hear what they tell you.
I love what you are wearing Ruan, what is it? The fabrics lovely!
When I had my colours done, my consultant wrapped my hair up in the 4 different whites that suited the 4 different seasons for colouring. Once my hair wasn't visible, she could concentrate on how that seasons colours looked on me. I turned out to be a deep tawny Autumn. The hair shouldn't dictate your colouring, your skin tone does. Hair colour can always be changed. Colouring my hair black wouldn't turn me into a winter, but it might confuse someone trying to do your colours.
Sorry it’s just a ready to wear dress 🙈. I do love it though and I’m thinking of replicating it soon 🙌🏼
I feel exactly the same about making,totally confused, don't know what to make, help😮
How do you wash your fabrics just a curious question
I was them on a quick 15 min wash (just to get rid of any chemicals etc) 👍🏼
xXX👍👍👍
