    The blue fabric would be lovely one for a special occasion dress. The way it shimmers is stunning.

    Oh! Your fabrics are beautiful! The red/pink one is right up my alley. I would wear it in the fall with a pair of black tights, black footwear, and a black jacket or coat. The villa and boat fabric is gorgeous. Whatever you decide

    Well if you’re weird, then I am too. When you gave your Italian fabric a cwtch, I get it! That Venice fabric is sooo lovely. I’ve seen it before and I may even break my fabric ban for that one.
    But if we’re focusing on this challenge then I think I’d go for the panda fabric /shirt dress option unless you have somewhere glamorous to go in the other one.
    That Liberty fabric is lovely. Not ditsy but really lovely. Have fun. 👍

    It's got to be the fabric that reminds you of your mum, for your Italian touring holiday next year, that's a really special set of connections to a fabric or the last floral fabric your in laws gave you...

    I can understand your feeling towards your last Liberty print, I have a piece of fabric that was in my mum's stash when she passed away over 30 years ago. So this might be just the right time to make a summer dress and feel happy wearing it and remembering Mum. 💜💜

    that lovely material for the Judy dress - you could make a judy dress without sleeves and put a black freya top on underneath so you could wear it in the winter. youre not mad!! i have fabric that i love and originally have something in mind to make then keep thinking about how lovely the fabric is and then panic that the pattern will not be good enough and i'll have wasted it so i keep it thinking it will get made up soon then i find another fabric which gets made up :0)

    • @SewLikeDotty
      @SewLikeDotty  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Think I might do that but I would leave the sleeves in and layer up I think

    What gorgeous fabrics - I love the idea of making the Venice fabric up for your Italian holiday next year.
    I'm with you on the way you feel when you have a beautiful fabric - it's an emotional connection.
    I think everything you've thought of sounds wonderful so my choice is the Judy dress in the beautiful blue fabric.

    Panada Retreat fabric would look great in straight legged or wide legged pants (trousers) with a Hope Dress as a top. Secret pajamas looking very chic!!

  • @sharonstephen4496
    @sharonstephen4496 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    My vote is for the blue viscose satin in your Style Arc
    fitted bust dress pattern. It would be an elegant dressy dress. The Judy dress is more casual.

    I love them all! The pandas would look great in a set top and pants and the Liberty Betsy could be a quilt back and put together with other Betsy fabric for the quilt front. The quilt could then be handed down to your daughter.

    • @SewLikeDotty
      @SewLikeDotty  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I would love to do that but the reality is with me a quilt won’t happen - I started 2 years ago just don’t have the patience with myself 🤦‍♀️

    thanks for your vlog I loved all your fabrics. When I saw the stunning blue one the pattern that sprang to mind was the Seasons of east summer in New York. But I haven't made it Ive just seen many fabulous versions that showcase a stunning fabric. Good luck with the challenge!

    Super video Alison. Lots of emotion going on here. So good to have the fabric purchased by your in laws and it is beautiful. The blue fabric is simply stunning. Would a pattern like Style Arc Zalia suit it better because I think that a gathered skirt won’t show the bird so well. Just a thought (and it’s a bit jumbled). Anyway, good luck with which ever one you choose. Look forward to seeing it. The fabric for Italy will look amazing.

    I've also got 3m of the panda retreat on a marlie lawn base. Our fabric stashes seem to have a lot in common 😂😅😅 Edit - the first fabric has cranes on it. They have a lovely meaning in Japanese symbolism. That blue viscose satin is just stunning...absolutely gorgeous.

    What a great selection and all so different, My immediate thoughts were Yes to your Italian Belle [very bella] and Yes to the blues fabric in the Judy dress. It would look fabulous for a special Christmas event. Night out or festive lunch. The cotton lawn Liberty fabric I think you should make your favourite pattern in it or a garment you associate with your Father in Law. My memories of my FIL [who passed in 1996] are that he always said I should use the best fabrics I could afford as I was putting so much love and effort. So if it was me it would be my favourite dress[Sydney by SA] in a Liberty lawn. That would be all lovely memories wrapped around me. The other thing I did think about your Liberty fabric was to make a notebook cover or needle case etc so you had something you used everyday to remind you of these important moments and people.😎❤
