Wowwwwww, I love all your pattern pics and as you said who doesn't like FREEBIES. Thanks for sharing them with us. Much love to you my dear Claire . Blessed weekend to you.
Thank you for these patterns. What great finds!! Sister.....YOU DO YOU!!! STEP OUT!! BE BRAVE and GO SLEEVELESS!!! Nothing wrong with your curves!! I can't wait to see you in that sweet swing style gathered neck dress! I can't wait to make one! Thanks again for your labor in finding these patterns and sharing them. I so appreciate it!
Yes, its time for women to stop being shy about their bodies, celebrate it. After all it does for you, be proud. You ought to see the outfits women are wearing in the US. Some people are making themselves look laughable even, but no one cares anymore about hiding a bump or a bulge. When you get older you will see what's important and what isn't. Being comfortable is the thing. Put on some big earrings and be happy! You are a lovely person, I can tell
Claire, you are adorable… thank you for your research. I have only started sewing. I have only made a few things and I have failed, free sewing patterns are great to hear about. 👏
I just finished the Bardon dress and very happy with how it turned out. I made a braided belt and serged the bottom with a wave stitch instead of a hem.
You’ve given us many of positive advice to step out of our comfort zone! Girrrrlll ... step out be brave. Appreciate all these patterns! I love the Norah tshirt dress to wear around the house or bed. But my favorite is the Russian site sundress! This dress has endless possibilities! The sundress can be made for fancy occasions or casual. Can be long or short. it can be made by color blocking, made to be structured with cotton types, linens or flowy made with crepe, chiffon, Rayon etc. I have aqua crinkled Rayon and white crinkled Rayon for the summer with matching belt. Happy sewing! 🥰
You are right, there are some of us who have never seen the Sorbetto Blouse! It is very pretty, but my fav has to be the T-shirt dress. Looks very comfy, yet has a bit of style with the yoke. Thanks for sharing all the lovely patterns!
Thank you so very much for this list of free patterns. I'm going to try the peppermint magazines pattern. I want to make it for my twin grandaughters. I think they will like it very much with a little cover up.
Just wanted to comment on the very pretty background. I don't know if it is a wall paper, but it is exquisite. I am blessed to be able to get patterns at $1.99 on sale here in the US so I only buy big 4 on sale. Believe it or not at Amazon here you can get some of the indie patterns fairly reasonably so that is nice too. I have even done multiple layers during cutting out material to hurry that tiresome task over with more quickly. And yes, I still do my marking of circles and such with needle and thread through multiple layers.
Hi Claire, great video, some of the patterns I have not heard of. The Vera pattern I have made in the v neck and I long cuff and I love it. It’s a regular rotation in my wardrobe. Thank you. Val ❤️🇨🇦🇬🇧
Great video, thanks so much, who doesn’t like freebies. 😍 you’re looking great, thinner. I have large arms too, the thing I hate about myself, but I’m done caring what others think, I’ve been wearing sleeveless on hot days if I want to.
Thanks for the compliment however I’d rather you didn’t comment on my weight. I have a lot of plus size viewers who may see this comment and feel bad about their bodies as a result. I want my channel to be a body positive channel whatever weight we happen to be :-)
How did I miss this for a whole day? I usually watch your new videos within a couple of hours from when they come up! I so appreciate your description of tight, restrictive clothing, that's just what it does feel like!
Hi Claire, I'm so glad to have found your channel!! I love all of your sewing tips. You're so knowledgeable!! I'm downloading the Vera top, The Luna tank, 3 free patterns from Laela Jeyne (LJ) including the Norah dress which looks like a great nightdress pattern, too. Can't wait to try that out with some cotton jersey in my stash. And I'm downloading the Bardon dress, of course!! My shape is very similar to yours, except maybe a bit less bust. I've lost a stone since the death of my husband 3 months ago (sad, yes, but I'm getting on with life.) I've been stocking up on patterns and fabric--probably have enough for the next several years!! Thank you for your videos! Like so many others who have commented, I love your grey top and think you look super in a cowl neck. Thanks again, Phyllis x
Thank you Phyllis. So happy you have found enjoyment in sewing (and my videos hopefully). What a great attitude to life you have, I’m really impressed. I hope you are okay, I mean that sincerely. X
I can vouch for the sorbetto, I made three last year, two I hacked to long sleeve. Had to do a FBA and lengthen (standard for me) but otberwise all good. Always love to see those free patterns :)
Love the new wallpaper and color scheme! I recently cleaned out my closet and found a dress where the bottom half is black silk. I was looking for a tank pattern and thanks to you I will use the sorbetto!
That Bardon dress keeps popping up in things I watch - it might be a good first-garment-in-ten-years pattern! I've hit the subscribe, so will watch for the sew along : )
Claire, I love the patterns you chose to show us. I will be exploring several of them for my spring sewing. Thanks! (I especially like the Bardon dress.)
You look fabulous in this video, the color and style of that top are perfect! I think I'd be interested in seeing a men's swing style garment, but not on anyone I know - LOL
Hi Claire, I love the +size dresses on 'Light in the Box' (to all the folks reading this- DO NOT ORDER FROM THEM- read the reviews & disregard the good ones)...I would like to sew my own. Can you please make a video showing all the steps to make one of their dresses? I am referring to the long maxi dress types. Many thanks...
Excellent video ! It’s always good to see you , you’re looking great !!! My two faves are the Russian dress and the last yellow one ! I live in Miami so those two are gonna be perfect for the weather here all year round ! Thank you so much for your awesome videos 👏👏👏👏
I have made the Barron dress and the pajamas. I had to take chunks out of the bardon dress pattern being only 5 ft but the pockets are too die for it will be a beautiful dress once I get the fit right. And the pajamas had some strange shaping on the elastic casting. I did not finish that set but when I get time to sort out the casting elastic I will give them another go.
The assembly line pyjama patterns has great instructions . The York pattern by seamwork is great and so is the sorbetto pattern by Colette is great too . All come with easy instructions .
I love watching these, I’m about done with school for good and can actually take some time to sew and I can’t wait to dig into doing some of these. Just in time to make the Luna tank for summer ☺️ Thank you again for the lovely content ❤️🌻
It is decided that the Sorbetto blouse shall be my first real garment to make out of real fabric as I've been hoping to make a blouse (assuming leaving one's home to socialize becomes a thing again) and bought special bias binding on Etsy just for a blouse AND I fell in love with a blouse on the Queen's Gambit which had a stripe down the back seam instead of the front BUT was very similar so, yeah. Thanks 🙂
Love the Nora which I’m thinking of a nightshirt for me 🤔 also will be downloading the Sorbetto just because I love it ! Thanks for your info once again
Your space looks amazing. Love your color choices!!! You look great too. Keep up wherever your doing. Went to look for the Norah dress and couldn’t find it ?!? Loved that one !
Thanks for the video Claire! I really enjoy hearing more from the plus side of things! It's so hard to download and alter many of the "regular" patterns! Love the Laela jeyne t-shirt dress. I could also see shortening that a bit or making it like a swing style Tshirt for a tunic top! I noticed on their site they have a "body suit" up to 4X called the Lotus Cami. Hmmm, I wonder if that could be easily converted to a one piece swim suit or use cami as top and make bottoms out of a favorite underwear pattern. ??? (I don't like two pieces as plus size but let's face it - it's easier to use the potty that way! LOL) I also like the Bardon dress but want to make an elastic shirred bodice with the layered skirt and pockets. It's pretty popular under "cottagecore" styling and looks great on a plus size as well. :) Happy sewing - would love an update with any makes.
I think you’d be better off getting an actual swim costume pattern as it will guide you on fabrics and support etc. Patterns for pirates have some nice swimwear patterns.
This is a beautiful collection of free garments. I do like a pretty free pattern. I am looking forward to seeing you make up these, I do like a good sew-a-long video, especially when you include your pattern adjustments and hacks. I really like the video where you changed the sleeve to a flutter sleeve, however I have forgotten which video it was and I really want to try that one. I made the Shirley Dress from Mood, and I love it. It dose not show the dress well on the site, as the model wearing it is too big for the size that was made. The directions are very misleading and don't use all the needed pattern pieces to make it look nice. Basically it is a fitted bodice with a pleated skirt from the 60s. I made my mockup from poplin and wear it with a belt. My husband didn't like it at first, but once I pressed it it became his favourite. I plan to make another and do some hacks on by leaving off the sleaves and using a half circle skirt, this should also make a beautiful dress in the 60s style. Have you heard of anyone else that has made the Shirley Dress from Mood? It can be a beautiful dress on a fuller figure, if made right. Luckily I am not one for reading the instructions or I feel this would have become a UFO. It is definitely not a beginner friendly pattern. Looking forward to seeing you again soon. Regards Christine 🙋♀️🇦🇺👍🏻😍🤩😊🤗
@@Penguinandpear The dress is on the Mood Fabrics web site and is free. Thank you fot the video info, I will go and have another look at it. Thanks for your help. Regards Christine 🤩🤗
Another great vlog Claire. Thanks for doing the research I'm actually nearly finished my Vera top with my first V neck (don't look too closely when I tag you on Insta!) I have done the 3/4 sleeve full sleeve with narrow band. I hate sewing with viscose jersey altho I like wearing it. It seems to show off every pressing or seam mistake. I think I'll try the Leila Jane t shirt dress in spring which is way off for me in Sydney!!
I haven't seen you in a long while. You suddenly popped up! Glad to see you. Wish TH-cam would play all my subscriptions one after the other. They seem to hide some for a very long time and I tend to forget the names. I liked a couple of your patterns, but they would have to be mailed to the USA. I don't have a working printer to receive pdf's.
I think if you don’t watch one video (either by accident or intentionally) then TH-cam will stop serving that channel to you. It’s so frustrating as a viewer and creator. To make sure you see all of my videos when released you can press ‘all’ on the bell (next to the subscribe button). Ah that’s a shame re your printer. I bought a black toner printer for $50 and just buy ink once a year, great for patterns.
@@Penguinandpear - Thanks for your sweet response. I enjoy your videos and will be more diligent in keeping that bell rung! I'll run across a printer soon I'm sure. Have a good day. Its nice here today, I imagine you are getting some nice weather too. : )
I do love your channel. I just sewed my first knit top and have a question; when sewing the hem of a sleeve, is there a way to give the stitches more stretch? I used a small width zig zag with my walking foot and polyester thread. Thanks!
I am way too self consious to ever wear a sleeveless anything. But I can always use a sleeve from another pattern. Just wish I knew of a copy shop that would print out the PDF patterns.
Thank you very much for this type of videos! I love it when you show free patterns and for sure I will try to make some this summer.
love the sorbetto pattern but also love the pajama pattern with the shorts.
Claire, you really look great with that cowl neck 🤗
I enjoyed your video. I find many are boring so I was delighted to find you. Thanks
Wowwwwww, I love all your pattern pics and as you said who doesn't like FREEBIES. Thanks for sharing them with us. Much love to you my dear Claire . Blessed weekend to you.
Really enjoyed this presentation Claire! Thank you! 🌷
Thanks Claire! Great collection. My favorite is the easy pajama set with the men's pants second.
Love the pyjamas.
Me too!
Great vlog, very useful
The Sorbetto blouse by Seamworks looks very interesting. Thanks for sharing!
Thanj you for theses talks and tutorials. Much appreciated always. Love you backdrop behind you. Pink grey and white
Thank you 😊
Thanks Claire. Some nice ones there. 👍👍
Hitting it out the park again Claire, love your style. 👍👍👍😁🥰
I made the Bardon dress in a vintage bedsheet and lengthened it - I love it !
Lovely!

You brought a smile to my face. Love your sense of humour.
I like the PJ pattern, could use it for daytime wear depending on material.
Claire, you are adorable… thank you for your research. I have only started sewing. I have only made a few things and I have failed, free sewing patterns are great to hear about. 👏
Keep going! You can do it. Look out for my next video I think you will relate 😜

I'd planned on printing the Bardon dress tonight! I love gathered skirt tiers and I'm going to add a third tier to make it a maxi dress.
I love so many of these patterns you pick out for us. Thank you 😊
That’s great to hear!
The Vera top keeps showing up in front me....guess I should try it! I also like the Norah top and the pjs. Thanks so much for sharing!
Love the new background. Thanks for letting me know the Sorbetto blouse now has sleeves.

Great stuff!! I nearly never included that pattern as it’s such a tried and tested one but it seems to be the most popular!
I just signed up for Helen's Closet. They're emailing me the pattern. Thanks for the tip. I also really like the Sorbetto Top.

Yeah he says silk is ok so I imagine viscose will be fine too. As long as it doesn’t crease too much.
