    Absolutely gorgeous! I love the sleeves, I love the colour, the print, everything! 😍 No lizard was ever that stylish - enjoy wearing it 😊

      Aw thank you so much I'm glad you like it! I have to say now I'm more used to the style I absolutely love the sleeves. Are you planning to make one? Thanks for watching xx

      @@SecretLifeOfASeamstress I am not experienced enough for the Billie - I have yet to try sewing a knit fabric - so I'll start with something more basic like the Agnes tee and see how that goes... 🤞

    Sweatshirt is really pretty with those sleeves it makes it not look like a sweatshirt and just like a really pretty blouse or a shirt so I'm excited to make that shirt or sweatshirt. I think you did an excellent job. Take care now and I can't wait for your next video.

      Thank you so much it's a really enjoyable make! I agree the sleeves make it that little bit more dressy don't they. I hope you enjoy making yours too and thank you for watching :) xx

    Looks fabulous- I think it will really suit you

      Thank you! I’m pleased with it but I think next time I’ll reduce some of the sleeve volume at the top maybe. Do you have plans to make this pattern? Xx

    I really enjoyed your sewalong and collab, thanks for sharing. The fabric is lovely, I made a jarrah in the rust colourway and it's so super soft isn't it! The Billie looks fab! I haven't got the pattern but I'm really enjoying seeing all the versions that are popping up xx

      Thank you for watching! Yes the fabric is gorgeous super soft I’m tempted to buy some more in another colour 😊 xx

    Love it! Really think it suits you! I’ve just made the same in a bold print. Takes some getting used to 🤣. I think next time I might mix the plain sleeve at the top with the balloon sleeve at the bottom maybe 👍🏼

      Thank you! Yes that’s exactly what I was planning to do next time actually I think both in a thick fabric is maybe a bit much for me. I’d love to try in a more drapey fabric though xx

    Really love your jumper 🙂💖 the green fabric is beautiful. I also really like the 1st version you made too. Great to collaborate again, hopefully we can do it again soon. Xx

    I am newer to sewing, and this makes me want to sew cozy items! Hard to find Tilly and the Buttons patterns here in the US, but will be putting this in my top 9 for 2021!

      Ah that’s good to hear thank you! I’m really enjoying sewing cosy my mades at the moment. Have a look at Minervacrafts.com I know they sell Tilly patterns and ship worldwide xx

    Like you I made one as a straight sweatshirt- slightly longer but still a top. I plan to make my second with the puff sleeves from a loop back terry so was very interested in yours - I might take out a bit of the volume too. I’m 5’2 and don’t want to be overwhelmed by my sleeves! Xx

    • @SecretLifeOfASeamstress
      @SecretLifeOfASeamstress  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      I think if you’re fabric isn’t too weighty they might not be so puffy! Good luck 😉 xx

    Hi, I’m just making the Tillie and the Buttons Billie Sweatshirt, love your version of it, can I please ask where you bought your ‘Maker & scissors’ iron transfers from. Thanks

    • @SecretLifeOfASeamstress
      @SecretLifeOfASeamstress  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hi! Thank you for watching. I actually got my transfer free with my pattern from Tilly website but you can get them from Happy Fabric over on Instagram:) xx

    I have the Billie but haven’t sewn it yet, although having now seen yours, I think I will give it a go. I have made the Linden and Toaster so far.
    On another note, like you, I knit aswell and your knitted Cardigan is gorgeous, I’m going to try that pattern but could I ask which wool you used as it’s not easy getting Lion Brand in the U.K. Thank you 😊

    • @SecretLifeOfASeamstress

      Ah thank you! I love the look of the Toaster I really want to buy it but I don’t know if I can justify another sweater pattern 🙈 Thank you for your comments on the cardigan I just used a double knit cotton from Hobbycraft and it was fine just maybe do a tension swatch first before you start? Thank you for watching xx
