You have the best videos! Really enjoy watching your videos because you really explain things so well and with so much resources and images! Thank you!
Hi this is my first time viewing but it definitely will not be my last!! 👏👏😊😊 Loved the fabrics you bought and the info on the fabric stores in Paris. The colours are great. I usually go for autumnal colours - browns, terracotta, burnt orange etc - but also love spring colours too. At the moment I am looking for 100% silks both for cloths and for quilts. Plain ivory and plain or damask gold for the quilts and patterned for the clothes. All of which are being quite elusive..☹️☹️☹️ Did see some patterned silks in Liberty but not a great selection. 😢😢 So now I need tow make two special journeys to two destinations - one to London and the other to Paris. Looking forward to seeing all your makes. 👏👏😊😊
Just found you while listening to the Olympics. I was right on several of your selections. I really tuned in to see your sewing room. Now I have to go back to see those. I look forward to checking in with you again. Wish I could go to Paris. When I was young fabric shopping was a past time. Now I need to shop my own stash. I can relate to your methods etc. Loved spending time with you.
I have been watching your very old fabric shopping because you haven't done many lately. It's great to see a current haul and I'm really intrigued by your choices. Thank you for taking us along with you.
Love your Paris fabric haul! I’ve been to some of those shops in the Montmartre area and felt quite overwhelmed, but ended up with one gorgeous fabric that was quite expensive instead of lots of less expensive stuff I felt like I could get at home. I just finished making a quilted bomber jacket that took forever to make, but it is now a favorite garment in my wardrobe, so well worth the effort! I would suggest chalking your quilt lines as you go to keep them straight and even and use a walking foot on your machine to manage those layers better. Can’t wait to see what you create!
I’m with you on Reformation! And Interestingly… Reformation is how I got started on sewing. I’ve been trying to be a conscientious consumer of fashion in the last several years. My friend introduced to me to their mission and clothes, and I loved them. I do have several Reformation dresses, whitest I love them, I had to mend one of them pretty much on the second day of me wearing them because some of the seams popped. And with the pandemic, having to spend that money on Reformation garments seemed irrational. Looking at their design and the garments I already own, I thought I could make them instead of buying them. Their designs are simple and that’s how I was drawn to them to begin with. Then I found your channel and bunch of others, and that’s how pretty much how I got started sewing my own garments now.
Agree! I’d been dreaming of buying a Reformation dress and finally got one on eBay but I was surprised at how flimsy it was. Also recently saw Rixo dresses in ‘real life’ for the first time and was disappointed in the quality so I’m practicing my sewing to make my own!

Think the embroidered faux leather in a skirt with a side front slit. (skin colored lining w a bit of stretch) or a cropped jacket w interesting sleeves. Love that Cheryl coat in the green; tell us how they handle the quilting in the instructions before or after cutting out. Thx.
I've quilted nylon fabrics before- to copy a Chanel bag. Go slow, use the right needle and a walking foot. It will work and look amazing. I'm about to try it again for a jacket. Nice haul! Can't wait to see how it turns out.
Just amazing choice of fabrics. Love love cannot wait to see what you make with those fabrics. I must say you look so well keep it up. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful fabrics from Paris XXX
Great video as always.😊 Bought the fabric for my wedding dress in Paris. Would love to go fabric shopping there again! Thanks for sharing this video. Reminds me of some awesome souvenirs!😊
Looking forward to watching your video on a quilted garment! I'd love to make one myself, but have been too scared so far. The Villanelle coat bv vikisews is on my wishlist
You have such a good eye. A nice mix of tasteful, practical, fun, and unexpected. Love the quilted jacket ideas. But how do you maintain the waterproof properties of the fabric with all the punctures along the quilting lines? I’ve waterproofed a tent for backpacking and we needed to apply seam tape along the seams and waterproofing spray to the whole dang thing. A pain to be sure.
This is GREAT news because I’ve also bought the Cheryl coat pattern too! I’ve got the fabric and I’m ready to go!! Are you going to do a sew along..? #hinthint! I bought a quilted fabric which has a layer of fabric and the wadding but it doesn’t have anything on the back - how do you think I should wash it???
You indeed pronounce Tissus Reine correctly! (But Marché Saint Pierre you don’t drop the e at the end of Marché so it’s marsh-ay rather than marsh 😉) I love it when you do Paris hauls, I spend soooo much time in these shops it feels like you’re visiting my living room!
Oooh I love visiting Montmartre and the fabric stores there. The only issue I have is that I don't speak French and i found it really difficult to ask questions about the fabrics, or even explain that I need one fabric from here, then another on the other side of the store. Do you speak French?
Thanks for sharing this...my niece 41yrs and her daughter 18 will be going to Paris next month and I'll ask her if she will bring me back a small bag (luggage) of fabric 😀👍🏿👍🏿✌🏿💕👑💯
I'd be careful making a rain jacket quilted. Won't the quilting threads just wick water into the garment, making the water impermeable qualities pointless?
This was pure joy to watch! Fabrics stores are my happy places, so going along this video was lovely ☺️ a question: can you do a video of what sewing machine (and accessories like sewing foot etc.) you use, especially given that you have so many different types of fabrics in your projects - like the organza and lot of embroidered fabric fir your Halloween dress, and now the perforated faux leather that you bought from Pairs…? As a beginner I struggle to understand fabric, machine, and accessories gelling, so a video would be so helpful!
You have the best videos! Really enjoy watching your videos because you really explain things so well and with so much resources and images! Thank you!
I'm in Paris, visited three of the fabric shops. OH DEAR SO MUCH FABRIC! Making a special trip with an empty suitcase and a plan next time!

love your video so glad you were able to jet over to Paris, hope to get there one day with my sewing buddies, happy sewing!!!
lovely fabric selection as usual.
Love these videos. I'm currently on a fabric freeze and living vicariously through my favorite fashion sewing content creators 😅
Just found you while listening to the Olympics. I was right on several of your selections. I really tuned in to see your sewing room. Now I have to go back to see those.

I loved watching your excitement over the plans you have for your fabric haul !! 🤩

Wow what beautiful fabric selection! I wish I knew what to do with fabric like that!
Yesssss. We love a fabric haul

Thank you so much, I’ll look into it during Christmas, when med school let’s me 😂
You go GIRL!
I live in France, was really interested to see where you shopped. Looking forward to seeing your quilted coat. X

Thanks for sharing ..I too am obsessed with buying fabric ... I would love to see a video on making of a quilted coat jacket... thanks again x 😘
Great Video love your fabric choices.. always excited when I see you’ve uploaded a new video..
Beautiful fabrics,can’t wait to see what you make!!
Great fabric haul. Never sewn with leather it scares me🥺. Cant wait to see what you create with the fabrics
I have missed your fabric haul vlogs!! So nice to see you out on the hunt!
I've quilted nylon fabrics before- to copy a Chanel bag. Go slow, use the right needle and a walking foot. It will work and look amazing. I'm about to try it again for a jacket. Nice haul! Can't wait to see how it turns out.
We live in France but I've never been fabric shopping in Paris - I clearly need to rectify this omission ASAP!!
Goooooo!!! It's amazing!
I agree gooooo! But if you are not near Paris… Bordeaux and Lyon have also very good fabric shopping choices. From my experience… 😊
@@TheCrafterpreneur Ooh fab....Bordeaux is nearest...maybe we need to build up to Paris?!!!
I actually have a highlight on my insta of my fabric shopping in Bordeaux is you are looking for some inspo 😊
@@TheCrafterpreneur Ooh fab! Thank you!! Xxx
So fun. I bought some already quilted fabric to make a fall vest. I should probably get on that since it is supposed to snow later this week. Lol
Oh this is so great! I missed these travel vlog fabric hauls so much! ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for taking us along with you to Paris! I hope you end up making that Ankara suit, bc that is going to be AMAZING 🤩
Just amazing choice of fabrics. Love love cannot wait to see what you make with those fabrics. I must say you look so well keep it up.
Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful fabrics from Paris XXX
How fun - can't wait to see your makes.
Also, I love your necklace, would you mind sharing the shop/brand you purchased it from?
Great video as always.😊 Bought the fabric for my wedding dress in Paris. Would love to go fabric shopping there again! Thanks for sharing this video. Reminds me of some awesome souvenirs!😊
Looking forward to watching your video on a quilted garment! I'd love to make one myself, but have been too scared so far. The Villanelle coat bv vikisews is on my wishlist

I’ve waterproofed a tent for backpacking and we needed to apply seam tape along the seams and waterproofing spray to the whole dang thing. A pain to be sure.
I will be in Paris in October and will be looking for some waterproof fabric. Which was the store you found yours in?
This is GREAT news because I’ve also bought the Cheryl coat pattern too! I’ve got the fabric and I’m ready to go!!
Are you going to do a sew along..? #hinthint!
I bought a quilted fabric which has a layer of fabric and the wadding but it doesn’t have anything on the back - how do you think I should wash it???
I love listening to you talk and walk about fabric shopping, but I won't lie, we don't have the same taste in patterns. Haha Fun hail and vlog though.
You indeed pronounce Tissus Reine correctly! (But Marché Saint Pierre you don’t drop the e at the end of Marché so it’s marsh-ay rather than marsh 😉)
I love it when you do Paris hauls, I spend soooo much time in these shops it feels like you’re visiting my living room!
LOL Crashed their honeymoon ❤️
Oooh I love visiting Montmartre and the fabric stores there. The only issue I have is that I don't speak French and i found it really difficult to ask questions about the fabrics, or even explain that I need one fabric from here, then another on the other side of the store. Do you speak French?
No I don’t, but I find that there is always someone who can speak English in the fabric shops. You just gotta ask.. and not get nervous about asking 😊
Are the fabrics expensive
w ow so beautiful in Paris oh lord how i wish i could travel i love love your videos do you travel for work or pleasure
Thanks for sharing this...my niece 41yrs and her daughter 18 will be going to Paris next month and I'll ask her if she will bring me back a small bag (luggage) of fabric 😀👍🏿👍🏿✌🏿💕👑💯
Be aware fabric shrinks when quilted on a large scale. Do not cut out the pattern pieces until you have quilted the fabric.
I'd be careful making a rain jacket quilted. Won't the quilting threads just wick water into the garment, making the water impermeable qualities pointless?
I understand u very well. Good fabric does cost. I have a huge fetish with Italian fabric. I am making waterproof totes with Ankara fabric.
❤️❤️❤️
