I'm addicted to colour-blocking (I'm just fabric stingy and I hardly ever throw away any fabric - but then, I have 7 pets so I can always make another dog/cat bed 🤣) Congratulations to your Granny!!!! Such brilliant news! Great video - I hope more people will venture into colour blocking, it's fun (and more sustainable) x
I started my first Mandy and Kirsten free shirts yesterday and found your channel while researching those patterns. Well, I ended up spending the whole morning watching your videos, and am now feeling very inspired! And I also really want to go to Australia now...! Anyways, it was lovely hanging out with you this morning, thanks for sharing all your tips and insights!
Some great ideas here. I really really love the mustard version. I have recently started planning the closet case pouffe. The extra with this one is that I can use it to hold all the tiny off cut scraps as stuffing. I am very excited☺️
Thank you for this video I really liked it. I like your videos because we are the same size. I’m going to get some help to get this pattern. You’re my favorite lady thank you very much
I use my fabric up in cami like tops or vest like tops BUT now you've given me inspiration for new ways to use up left over material. Thank you. As always your fabrics are fabulous!
Hi Kristen. I’ve made that top from Peppermint mag. I did a very similar version to the one on the pattern but in a blue and white tie dye striped pattern. I love the effect but I’m not sure that the boxy shape flatters my figure so well. However, I love the look of the Fern top which defines the waist more. I shall give that a go and I’ve just bought the pattern - so thanks for that idea!
Love these tops Kristen! I have this pattern, not made it yet but never thought of colour blocking it - great idea! 😍 I always have linen scraps! Great news re your auntie ❤️
Thanks for this Kristen - I'm downloading as I'm typing this lol! My favourite top is the denim one, and I've got a piece of chambray that will be perfect. I hadn't thought of that as a neutral but I can now see that it is.
Could you tell Me what size pattern you chose I’m about same size ans since I don’t want button placket figured your size would work perfect for me. Thank you’ve the denim !!
I know this is a few years old now but would this be something you can use a light quilt type cotton for? I have so many scraps but most are woven quilt cotton materials from dresses I've made my girls
kaz coll awww you’re too kind! My oldest daughter is 24 this year and I always joke with her that I was the same age when I had her! She thinks that’s crazy 😂
