Hello Judi it is so lovely watching you on your channel everything you do is so beautifully explained. I love your fabric choice in all your projects and I love the fact you take your time making something so beautiful. Judi you are one calm sewer and it shows on your finished garments. Well done you XXX and thank you for sharing XXX
Another fan of tacking here. When I started sewing again after many years I wondered why the finish was not as good. I realised when I watched Karina @Lifting Pins and Needles that I had forgotten about tacking. Everyone seems to use pins only now but, although it takes a bit longer, I think you get a much better result if you tack.
Thank you for your tacking love. I do try and show the positive side of tacking as I know everyone seems pushed for time these days, but it can avoid the needs to unpick as well as, with the pockets, ensure they sit correctly x
I can hear my sewing teacher now "pin, tack, machine" and then she would inspect every step before I was allowed to move on! I have to admit I don't always tack, but darts, tucks and pleats I find more successful if I tack them! But, I do understitch, and so far haven't had a seam rolling back, maybe I've been lucky!!! Thanks for your chatty vlog, you always make me smile! 🐾🐾
@@runningsewandsew not at all, sadly she was a witch queen from hell, put me off sewing for years! You are so helpful and friendly you couldn’t be more different to her if you tried! 🐾🐾
Lots of lovely plans Judi, can’t wait to see them made up. I’ve just finished a Burda blouse for my Daughter and tomorrow I’m going to cut out my Fleur blouse, I’m very excited as it looks beautiful when it’s made up. ❤
I want mine to rush to the top of my list of plans but with the reveal dates for sew fruity and sew seven together looming I must stay focussed. I have a plan for the fleur but my lips are excitedly sealed !!!!
I used to roll facings like you demonstrated but then went with the fashion of under stitching but sometimes have problems of rolling forward. After watching this I am going to go back to your method. Thanks Judi.x
So happy that you’re loving the Sew Steady table. I’ve gone through several irons myself! Yay that you’re going to get new internet. Woo hoo. Did you know that Becky Jo works at Josephine’s? Jane went there a couple of days ago and saw her. How cool. We can go there after lunch with Peggy! Hugs.
I just finished a Mable dress by TATB and love it! I didn’t think I would like it as much as I did. I also finished a dress called the serenity dress by ojayroom patterns. She had a contest to name the pattern and she chose my name and sent me the pattern. It’s so lovely, haven’t worn it yet. I want to make my daughter one next.
I haven't gotten any sewing done yet--I JUST got my bedroom converted to a sewing room (I have a fairly comfortable couch) and today I put all the furniture into it. Now I need to arrange everything, BUT I think I might just sneak a bit of sewing in before I arrange the whole room! I'm going to try out your rolled hem--more work but excellent results!
Thank you for sharing your Friday Sews. I really enjoy them. I’m presently working on my Sauvie dress. Just figured out my size and did a toile. I’m using the same fabric as you and Sam 😅. I found that amazing 😊. Love your table extension. It will certainly come in handy for bigger projects. I agree with you about the iron. I actually have two that I got from my mother when she passed. They are heavy metal irons. They work great 😊. Thank for more tips on the Sauvie. I’m a slow sewist but I enjoy my process. Thank you for sharing! Your friend Diane ❤
Happy Friday, Judi! You do such beautiful work. I tend to rush my sewing, but lately I have tried to channel you and be more precise and enjoy it more. Are you familiar with Helen's Closet patterns? I've just cut out the Lockhart dress.
Another great video 😊 I love to hear about your life in Yorkshire - I'm from there myself but now live on the south coast. All of your makes look lovely and I look forward to the finished garments.
So glad you have found a good iron, they are so important to use one we are happy with for our sewing projects. I’ve had a few irons over the years (I’m married 57yrs). The iron I’m using at the moment s a Kambrook which is an Australian make. I bought it 26 years ago when I was making my daughters brides dress + the bridesmaids dresses. It was very inexpensive when I bought it and to be honest I don’t know if the company is still in business. It is still used every few days and steams beautifully. Happy sewing 🧵🪡🇦🇺
I have exactly the same problem with irons. I have a feeling they don't like being on for long periods of time, so I now turn mine off between irons when sewing. It seems to extend the life. Might do a trip to Lidl and grab one for a spare. Love all the tips. I've bought both the peony and the fleur today - too easily influenced by other you tubers, as if I didn't have enough patterns 😂.
completely agree with you, irons last me about two years and I buy a £25 one each time. Lovely fabrics and makes. I am currently making the egg bag from sew liberated,.
H Judi, some great p's😀. I am ready to cut out the Sauvie dress and I have also been following Dizzy quilts and sews QAYG block series, Im not the fastest sewer but will get there x

@@runningsewandsew ooh can’t wait to see your Fleur, I can feel it’s going to be amazing 🤩
Love all your ps great advice thanks 😊😊😊
You are so welcome!
Lovely vlog , thank you for sharing. X
Glad you enjoyed it, thank you so much for watching xxx
Wow, I love your demonstration of the edges. Thank you!
You are so welcome! Good luck and you’ll love the effect xx
I used to roll facings like you demonstrated but then went with the fashion of under stitching but sometimes have problems of rolling forward. After watching this I am going to go back to your method. Thanks Judi.x
It hurts the fingers and takes time but boy it works x

Jane text me and oh I love my sew steady table!!!
Heading off to Lidl now! Thanks for a lovely vlog.
Oh the Lidl iron is just so lovely and light weight xx
Love watching your fantastic tips,I will be trying that rolling and tacking method 😊
Wonderful! x

Actually I find it so therapeutic too and it’s lovely seeing the edge appear xx

Hi Diane, I’m so looking forward to the reveal day… I’d better warn Peggy (SH7) she be swamped on social media xxx

Hello there, I do know Helen’s Closet (via the love to see podcast) but I’ve never bought one of her patterns yet! Xx
Another great video 😊 I love to hear about your life in Yorkshire - I'm from there myself but now live on the south coast. All of your makes look lovely and I look forward to the finished garments.
Oh thank you, I can confirm it’s a beautiful sunny morning here - I’ll post a little insta story from castle Howard today as I’m there xxx

I have to admit it was an impulse purchase but one which I knew was right x

Going to show my age - they do t make irons like they used to!
I'd love a photo of you wearing the Portland cotton dress. I have that same pattern cut out.😊
And I want to finish it now but I’ve to make my ochre free range slacks and my regalia! Xx
Thanks for the very handy demo 🙂
You’re welcome 😊

How can an iron break? Never happened to me !
It’s like anything powered, spontaneous failure happens
I’m a seam roller and tacker…so pleased you also lick your fingers….
Good to know I'm not alone !
