Sally, you've inspired me to take the plunge and make the Carolyn pajamas!!!
Oh yay I’m so pleased I hope you love them as much as I do 😊 xx
Great makes! Absolutely love your Davenport dress.. stunning!!!
Thank you so much I’m really pleased with how that dress turned out xx
I love your Davenport dress so much, beautiful! 👍🏼😁
Aw thanks so much I’m glad you like it 😊 xx
All of your makes are so beautiful! The fabrics are lovely. I really like the piping you put on your pajamas 😎😍 I love the dresses and tops also 👗
Thank you so much! So glad I took the time to add the piping it really makes a difference. Thanks for watching xx
Lovely makes and fabric choices. 😊 I always feel inspired by your videos. Thank you.
Thank you so much that’s so lovely to hear. So appreciate you watching xx
You are a very good seamstress! Some nice makes😊✅💯
Thank you so much xx
Everything is beautiful and I can see why you love Art Gallery Fabrics! The Davenport dress is gorgeous and I chose to
mention it because it’s a newer pattern so I haven’t seen any others yet. I look forward to your next more summertime fabric 🥰
Thank you! Yes AG fabrics are just beautiful at the moment. I’m glad you like my Davenport it’s definitely one of my favourite patterns to have come out recently. Thanks so much for watching xx
Pretty makes! I made a Helen’s Closet Ashton top last night after work. From choosing the fabric and cutting the pattern to completion it probably took me 4ish hours. Hopefully the next one will go even more smoothly! Love the pattern and the tidy finishes. The fabric is a black tencel twill. Lovely but SO UNRAVELLY! Thanks for another video :)
Thank you! I like the look of the Ashton top I'll have to make one one day, also love Tencel fabric and have been thinking of getting some for some trousers, it's good to know that it's unravelly! Thanks so much for watching x
Sally, you’ve made some fabulous makes! I never have enough patience to sew myself a nice pj but you definitely inspire me 😍🤍
Ah thank you! Yes I suppose it’s strange to take a lot of time over something we wear to bed 😂 I’m sure you’d love the pattern though xx
Your makes are absolutely beautiful
Thank you so much xx
Beautiful makes. Your Davenport is so gorgeous. I love the Art Gallery fabrics you chose to sew with too. ❤
Thank you so much! Yes I’m a bit obsessed at the moment I think, thanks for watching xx
Your makes are Beautiful! The pajamas are especially lovely! I might have to make a pair!💗
Thanks so much! You should, you won’t regret it 😉
Love them all
Thank you so much xx
I understand about the pushing yourself piece, i am making the poppy and jazz pomegranate pjs that are similar just smaller!
Yes it’s definitely something I need to do more of! Good luck with the pjs they sound so cute 🥰
All your dresses are beautiful and if I did not have enough summer dresses I would be tempted to make similar. I agree with you regarding pushing yourself into more difficult sewing and I am trying to copy the grey Attico dress that Clare Chanelle showed on her channel. I am making it in a different colour and have no pattern as such but hacked one that is vaguely similar.
I definitely have enough summer dresses but dresses are my weakness in sewing I think! 😂 That dress sounds lovely I’ll have to look up that channel. Thank you for watching xx
@@SecretLifeOfASeamstress Unfortunately the Attico dress did not quite work. The top is quite a lot wider than the bottom and overhangs but I could not quite create the same effect. Maybe difficult to explain without seeing it. best wishes
You certainly have an art for matching pattern to fabric how beautiful are your makes.
Oh thanks so much I’m glad you like them xx
Fabulous makes as always , you are so talented at matching fabrics to patterns.
Thanks so much that’s very kind xx
Really enjoyed watching your video Sally. All the clothes you made are beautifully made.
Well done.
Thanks Doreen I’m glad you like them 😊💗
Beautiful makes and fabrics. I think the pyjama shorts would look great as normal shorts if lengthened.
Thanks so much! Yes definitely something to try at some point I think x
Lovely makes thanks for sharing!🇦🇺😊
Thank you so much for watching xxx
Beautiful makes TFS 🙌❤️💚💜
Thanks so much for watching xx
I can't choose a favourite as I love everything you've made during May! I really want to sew the Carolyn PJ's, the Sudley and the darling ranges dress! I will definitely get the darling ranges one done this year though as I've been meaning to sew it for so long now. I love the fabrics you've used too xx
Thanks so much Karen. You must get around to your Darling Ranges 😉😉 you’ll love all of those patterns I’m sure but there is so much to sew isn’t there xx
All very pretty makes!!!
Thank you so much xx
So enjoy your videos. You've got lovely makes again X
Thank you so much I’m really pleased you enjoy them xx
Another set of beautiful makes! I am one of the people who asked about the fabric you used for Kimono Tee, so thank you so much for following up and suggesting the great alternatives :). I recently purchased the Carolyn Pyjamas pattern and look forward to trying that pattern out. Your set .is beautiful. I love the fun fabric and the piping makes these pj's so special. I am getting ready to cut out my fabric for a Sudley blouse using the same white cotton fabric you used for one of yours (with the scalloped embroidered hem). Fingers crossed that it looks half as nice on me as it did on you!
Hi Maria thank you so much! I can’t believe how hard it is to track down that fabric I should have bought more 😂 I’m sure you’ll love the Carolyn PJs when you make them it’s such a great pattern. Your Sudley top will look amazing I’m sure, that fabric is beautiful and it’s probably one of my favourite tops. Simple but easy to wear. Thanks so much for watching xx
Amazing makes Sally. Really lovely.
Thanks so much for watching I’m glad you like them 😊 xx
I love your Carolyn pyjamas, the pockets look like they are supposed to be like that. I'm making the Marigold jumpsuit for my daughter for her Primary school prom. She's a real tomboy and doesn't wear skirts or dresses.
Then I'm hoping to make something from my Breaking the Pattern book, as I got it for my birthday last June and haven't made anything from it yet! Maybe the Saraste top, as I love the frills on the front. Look forward to seeing your finished Lyra dress xx
Thank you! Yes I am secretly pleased with how the pockets are I guess you could say it’s a happy accident 😂 I have made the Marigold trousers but not the full jumpsuit- a great alternative to a dress though! I have the Breaking the Pattern book too and I’ve not made anything yet I think I liked the look of that blouse too. Thank you for watching. Xx
Love your makes
Thank you very much xx
Nice pajamas
Hi…. Love the pjs !! Wondering what that cording looks like when you buy it? I need some but I’m not sure. My pattern just says “cording” 🤷♀️/ love you makes !!
Thank you!! Cording would usually be the cord inside the piping I think. If you buy ready made piping it looks like bias binding with some cord sewn inside it. I hope that helps :) xx
I love all your makes and I see you do buttons and buttonholes. I have a question about where the button should be sewn-in the middle of the hole or closer to the top? You wouldn’t believe how many I’ve asked that said they didn’t do buttons.
Thanks so much! I much prefer buttons over zips any day but I know some people are the other way around. I sew my buttons in the middle of the hole I think that’s the correct way 😊 x
Your makes are lovely no idea where you find the time with two kids.
Thank you! Well they are both older now and in full time school so I have more time and the occasional evenings of course xx
Hi Sally, thanks for another brilliant video, your makes are all lovely. I watched your video on AR format patterns but not quite ready to have a go yet. In fact I’m only just beginning to use PDF ones and was wondering if you have any tips? I use my iPad to download patterns but can’t find. away to just print out my pattern size! Do you know if this is possible on an iPad please and if so how? Thanks again, love to watch your videos!
Hi Kay thank you so much for watching I’m glad you like what I’ve made. No worries about the AR app it won’t be for everyone I don’t think. I’ll have a think about the PDF tips, I know that only some pattern companies have the option to print a single size only and when this is the case you’ll need to download Acrobat reader it’s free. I’ve only ever done that on PC so I’m not sure if it would work on iPad but I guess it would xx
I am really enjoying your videos especially your sew along s. I am relatively new to sewing and was wondering if I can ask a question.
Do you think that the darling rangers dress pattern is a suitable pattern for double gauze fabric please.?
Thanks so much for watching I’m really pleased you’re enjoying them. Yes I think it definitely would be suited to double gauze, it would give a softer shape and I would definitely interface the button band because gauze can stretch out a little xx
@@SecretLifeOfASeamstress thank you so much for your reply and advice. I have a light blue with daisies double gauze fabric in my stash waiting for a dress pattern and I like the style of the darling ranger. I will be watching your Lyra sew along xx
What’s art gallery cotton? You mentioned it a lot :)
Art Gallery is the fabric company it’s just the brand of the fabric I have been using quite a lot lately it seems 😊 xx
First comment 😋😋😊
Yay!! Xx
