    Hi Angela really enjoyed listening to all your plans you have some beautiful fabrics and think your pattern matching are really good choices will look forward to seeing them made up.😊

    For the Narcisse trousers, if you’re making a toile-notch the “stripe” on the side seam at the centre of your body at waist and hem (likely the same width). Cut the pattern piece in half, remove existing seam lines from the stripe and the front and back pieces and tape the side front to the front then add a seam allowance to the new “side seam”. Repeat for the side-back half of the stripe pattern. Then cut out your front and back as normal. Without seeing the pattern piece I’m assuming the side panel is the same width from top to bottom….you’re just taking the strip and adding it back into the front and back pieces (which is where it would’ve started). Hope this makes sense and gives you an option!

      Hia - that makes total sense - and is such a good idea. I may look at making them as the pattern is designed, and then like you say do this change - thank you so much 🥰

    Hi there. I’m loving watching your vlogs again. I bought the narcisse trousers and had the same reaction as you when I saw they had a side panel. I made them up anyway and they are lovely. I also tried the peppermint magazine wide leg pants(free) and I LOVE these. The pattern is for tight on hips and cropped but I make not so tight and full length and they are just what I was looking for. I have a pair in denim and a pair in linen. Worth a look.

    • @DevonThreadTales

    It is nice you have a pair of dungarees to use against your pattern. I received a bunch of fabric and a handful of patterns when my friend’s mom passed. I sorted and sent most of it, largely quilting cottons, to my Aunt’s church group that makes quilts for the needy. I found an old pattern by a company, Indigo Junction, I think out of business now, and matched it to a piece of the free fabric and just cut it out. It is so long in the body! I was looking to make some garden/wood shop overalls. I will be making another pair , but folding out a bunch of that extra length.

    • @DevonThreadTales

    Decide what hem circumference you like. You can copy the skirt pieces then cut hem to waist seamline on each piece several times an inch apart and move them apart to get total circumference you like at hem and fill in with paper. True hem curve. Then cut out. You can copy circumference of a dress or skirt you like.

    Hi Angela, you are having trouble with your trousers aren't you! It is hard to find the perfect pattern, I know because I have been searching for my perfect pants too! One pattern I tried and liked, but not enough to be MY perfect pattern is the Nina Pants by Tessuti Patterns. It may not be 100% what you are looking for, it is made in a stretch woven fabric, the legs are a little cropped but they are a nice 'straight fit' without being too narrow or too wide and you can easily lengthen them. They have a nice split at the bottom hem and a side zip. They could look so nice made into full length and would be smart for work but not too smart for play. Anyway that is my 2 cents worth (or pence in your case 😄). Great video! I COMPLETELY agree with your dilemma about work getting in the way of sewing!!! The struggle is real 😁.

    • @DevonThreadTales
      @DevonThreadTales  ปีที่แล้ว

    Hi Ange, I love your lovely nature and happy disposition. You certainly do have alot of plans, but better than none. With the Giselle dress that you want to make the top with another skirt bottom, what about another Sew Over It pattern, maybe the Betty dress. As they are all from the same block it should swap in really simply.I really love the circle tab d ic from Minerva. I have never purchased from them a bit too expensive for freight to Australia for me. I am so like u when it comes to sticking to the same pattern company. Plus I literally love the same ones you mentioned, Sew Over It and Tilly n t Buttons. Have a fun time with all your makes. I'm keen to see how it all goes an dif you make it all. ❤ Deb

    I definitely feel like I'm not allowed to buy clothes for that same reason lol every once in awhile I'll go jeans shopping at a second hand store, try on everything in my size, I rarely find a pair that fits, but when I do I buy them and then I'm more motivated to finish the multiple pairs I've started!

    ,Hi Angela just a thought for your trousers ideas. Have seen the Portia trousers from Sew Me Something. Jules of Sew Me Something also does a great pair of Ferdy dungarees & her sewing retreats are the biggest giggle & a great way to meet other lovely ladies who want to sew clothes. If I wasn't working full-time I'd have a a better wardrobe 😂 thanks for all your ideas & inspiration. X

    Hello Angela. You ARE going to be so busy at your sewing machine this month. I started the TATB 'Marnie' blouse and I was hoping to get it finished, but I got ill and simply couldn't be bothered trying to finish it in time. Anyway, I just love the Minerva fabric with all the rainbow colors and even though I was going to 'curb' my fabric purchases I HAVE to have this fabric (Minerva have great mail rates from the UK to Australia). I thought that the Minerva fabric would look beautiful in the 'Mabel' dress (I am not a fan of the saltwater slip dress as I reckon it looks like a petticoat / slip that you wear under a dress..). Happy sewing

    • @DevonThreadTales

    • @lilolmecj
      @lilolmecj ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Jean, just pick up one thing you feel relatively confident will sew easily and come out nice. A few weeks back I felt a tiny desire to sew, so I got out some beautiful fabric I have had a long, long time. I finally settled on a pattern I have sewn with good results before and made a duster, or casual blazer that goes about to the knee. And I made its coordinating fabric into a simple long tank, again a pattern I have sewn before. Suddenly I am back in the sewing zone. And I have barely sewn anything for over a year. I’ve made that tank five times, tow elastic waist pants, and I cut out and overlocked the edges of a skirt yesterday.

    • @DevonThreadTales
      @DevonThreadTales  ปีที่แล้ว +1
