    To me, fabric/notion selection does not count as part of the 4 hours :) Congrats, it turned out so cute!!

    I am LOVING your videos!!! They make me so happy! You’re such good fun to watch!! It’s also great to see someone with similar proportions to me, rocking the vintage style! It’s so inspiring! I really want this Gertie pattern now!! I did own it but (stupidly) swapped it! So I’m gonna have to buy it again!! Take care Jen! xx

    One of my all time favorite patterns. I have hundreds of patterns (because I have a very serious problem lol) but I just keep making this one over and over because it is so flattering and cute and easy!

    Yes! Because you didn't even get started on the cutting/sewing until 12:30 or 1 maybe. (PS I also store things in my hair ALL THE TIME. )

    Oh, I wish I was as talented a seamstress as you, Jennifer! I'm nervous about wasting materials by practicing, but I guess it's inevitable that a project will turn out wonky. That's how we get better. The top is so cute! I think even a beginner like myself could give it a try. :) And I count it as completed in 4 hours; it would have been 100% complete if all the requisite materials were planned and on hand.

    IT's so clever knowing how to sew and pattern cut! i cant! we've got a programme in the UK called the sewing bee, where home sewers enter a competition which runs several weeks and have to make all kinds of fancy and complicated things. the judges are a Saville Row Tailor, and a teacher from one of the London fashion colleges. the saville row tailor is a FOX. anyway, i really enjoyed the vid and if you do remake it please show us the finished article!

    The top turned out so pretty, I love love it! Yes, you can make a top in 4 hours. I think you should have started the clock after you picked out the fabric & supplies as that time took away from your sewing time. This was super fun to watch btw!❤️

    I can totally relate to the indecision! I can sit for HOURS in my sewing room going back and forth between patterns and fabrics, pairing them up and then changing my mind and pairing them off in a different way. Unlike you though, it usually results in me giving up and opting to play with my cat instead. LOL! But man, I can't tell you how much anxiety I get from people cutting their pattern tissue! Not tracing out a pattern just stresses me out!

    I think the challenge should exclude time for mis-en-place. You should have your fabric and notions and pattern picked out and ready to go before you start the clock! That would be more fair, because it isn't a stash challenge it is a construction challenge.
