I think I need to look through my patterns, nothing cut out at moment been busy making a quilt. That’s nearly finished so back to dressmaking. Thinking what I need in my wardrobe for going into autumn and winter. Not really had much of a summer 😢
@@lr2168 I know, the weather has been awful hasn't it? It's dull and rainy here today unfortunately 😕 I have to admit that I've been half thinking about autumn and winter clothes myself as it seems a bit pointless making any more summer garments!
You have great plans. I am currently sewing a shirt dress and have plans for pants using a new simplicity pattern. I am also considering making the SA willow pants using a cotton sateen. Happy sewing from Arizona.
Thank you so much! The Willow pants would be gorgeous in cotton sateen, you must let us know how you go on with them (and your shirt dress of course!) Thank you so much for dropping by! xo
You have some wonderful plans and fabric there, I adored that John Lewis one 💙. You are so like me with the blues 😂. A solo sewing retreat sounds like the perfect weekend to me 👏🏼😁. Happy Sewing (so jealous right now 😂😂) xx
@@socarole66 awww thank you Carole! How are you feeling today? I hope you're not in too much pain x I love blue! Navy is the dark neutral for my current colour palette but bright pink is a close second favourite for me xx
@@SewYourselfaCapsuleWardrobe I will admit I'm struggling a bit today but only to be expected. I'm sure every day will get easier from here on.... I hope?! 😂🤣
@@socarole66 awww it is to be expected! Please keep up with pain relief and relax! Let your body heal and you'll soon be back in your sewing room. Give me a shout if I can be of any help at all during your recovery xxx
Slowed down on the sewing this week as hubby and I have the dreaded covid! Which patterns would I be sewing up - where to start?! I have so many that I haven't got round to using yet. I'm trying to make t-shirts to replace all my old shop bought ones, but decided to have a bit of a break from them and make a woven top (one I have made before) in double gauze using a Simplicity pattern. I am also in the process (halted for the moment) of re-jigging my sewing room as currently I can't leave my sewing machines out permanently ready to use for one reason or another, so it needs a trip to Ikea, which we obviously can't do for a few days yet. So I am getting a little frustrated with my lack of energy and oomph!! I have recently bought the Be Mine pattern so that is on my radar at some point, and I do have a nice drapey fabric that would be suitable. Just need this virus to go and take a hike!!
@@Yorkygirl59 oh no! I hope you're not suffering too badly? Take it easy until you feel a bit better then you can get back to sewing with a vengeance! Hope both you and hubby are feeling better very soon xo
If you had your own sewing retreat for one, which patterns would you be making up?
Let me know in the comments!

@@theresabyrne300 thank you! It's good to have a bit of me time while the husband is away!
