A cardigan in that dark green would be lovely or a black cardigan with the black tights
Thank you oh yes a dark green would be really nice!
Hello Cath! I’ve enjoyed this video. Thank you for sharing! Your Myosotis dress looks beautiful on you and summery as well. I agree it may look nice with a dark cropped cardigan or dark cropped jacket worn with dark tights and your black ankle boots. Also, it may look nice with your red sandals, your hair picked up and sunglasses on warmer days. Hope this helps 😊
I’m glad you enjoyed the video 😊 Thank you yes those are good plans for styling the Myosotis, I haven’t tried it with my red sandals, I’ll definitely give that a go soon 😊
The long navy jacket looks great with the myosotis
Thank you 😊
The bright dress looks like it may fit in nicely at Christmas...with a sweater and tights. Cropped sweater
That’s a great idea thank you 😊 would love to get it out more
Hi Cath, great video, I love all your handmade garments, I really like the checked dress, I agree with you and others, a darker cardi or jacket looks better. Have a lovely weekend 🥰
Thank you very much 🥰
The last blue dress is so pretty and I actually remember when you made that. Thanks for sharing your makes...you always make sure the fit is right and that it is made well. As a result, you have a working wardrobe that can stand the test of time.
Thank you very much 😊
The navy jacket looks nice over the bright checks, but as I think on it, you'd get a lot of wear out of a dark solid colored cropped quilted jacket. A piece like that would go with all the items you wore in this video. Cropped to your natural waist, it would compliment your high waisted jeans and skirts as well as your cinched in dresses. I love the belt added to your shirt dress. I did the same thing with a Rhapsody hack I made a couple of years ago. I ended up wearing it with a wide elastic belt for the exact reason you mention. It's unfortunate you don't have space to hang your woven tops so you could iron them as they are laundered. It eliminates the rush of dressing in the mornings.
Thank you yes I think you’re right, a dark coloured cropped quilted jacket would be a great piece that i would get a lot of wear out of.
Yes I would love a bit more hanging space! Maybe one day
I recognised the bodice of the Myosotis. Probably because I too made it in a check- aRobert Kaufman flannel. Love yours. Yep, the check matching does take time.
The Myosotis bodice has a pretty shape doesn’t it ☺️
Thank you for another lovely video, Kath. It’s so pretty where you live ☺. Love all your outfits especially the checked dress. It fits you beautifully and I don’t think it’s too bright at all. It suits your colouring. You wear it more often - you look fabulous sweetheart 🥰
Thank you very much 🥰
Thank you very much 🥰
I like everything you make , the navy jacket with the plaid looks great.
Thank you very much 😊
Thank-you for another lovely video. You've made some really lovely garments. Looking forward to the next part of May.😊
Thank you so much 😊
I love your myosotis checked dress.
Thank you, I really enjoyed wearing that one ☺️
The makes you’ve been wearing this week are all lovely and you must wear them more often! You look great and the Myosotis dress really suits you.
Thank you very much 😊
The check dress is beautiful on you, not too bright at all.
Thank you 😊
Love all the makes, especially all the dresses. They look great on you. You must definitely have them in your ‘go to’ wardrobe.
Thank you very much 😊
Love all of your makes Cath. Especially the named dress. The fabric is gorgeous.
Thank you very much 😊 I love that fabric too
Hello! Your Saraste is such a lovely dress and the fabric is stunning on you. You really suit that shirt dress look and the fit is spot on.
I have to say that I’ve never been a fan of the Closet Core Kalle, but seeing it belted looks so good on you. I really think it was quite flattering on you.
Thank you very much! I do love a shirt dress 😊 Thanks I was glad to have tried the Kalle belted, I think I’ll definitely wear it like that again.
I love your checked Myosotis dress. I think it looks great on you without a jacket. It would also look good with a cropped cardigan or a dark denim jacket. I think it was the color of the light denim which didn't suit the dress.
Thank you I agree re the denim jacket 😊
Catching up on missed vlogs and doing some sewing after months of not sewing :) just making some leggings and knickers for my daughter that I've had cut out for aaaaaages - was planning wjich fabrics to use next and only decided to use scraps instead of the precious, precious whole fabrics 😅
Ahh leggings and knickers out of scraps for your daughter sound like great projects for getting back into some sewing! Happy sewing and also sewing vlog watching 😊
Thank you Cath for the lovely video. A lot of work mus go in to producing them. Thank you.
You’re very welcome, I’m so glad you enjoyed it 😊
I think you’re on the right track with a cropped jacket for the bright colored dress. Go for a simple tradition silhouette. Try black or charcoal grey. Flannel jacket might work great for an autumn outfit with tights and boots .
Thank you, great suggestions 😊
That last dress is stunning! Love the colors and the details.
Thank you very much! 😊
Thanks for sharing all your beautiful makes. 💙🧶🌈🍓
You’re very welcome! Thank you for watching! 😊💙❤️
Really enjoyed your video again. Where you love is so pretty. I was raised close to Manchester, quite different, but still lovely. I live in Canada now, totally different landscape! I’m looking forward to another video soon. I’m being inspired by you to sew woven items this summer,I usually sew knit garments
I’m so glad you enjoyed this instalment too 😊 I hope you enjoy sewing up some woven items!
I think navy goes well with your plaid Myosotis dress. I think a waist-length cropped cardi would be the best option to go with the silhouette of the skirt of the dress. I don't think the colors are too loud or bright at all. And you did such fine work on the dress!
I'm really enjoying hearing your thought process on each of the garments, so I can apply similar thoughts to my wardrobe. Thanks!
Thank you, a cropped cardi would work really well with the dress thanks 😊 I’m so glad you’re enjoying hearing my thoughts on each garment!
You really suit your gorgeous dress. The colours are lovely. 😊
Thank you very much 😊
I looove your myositis dress! Another way of taming the bright would be to add a solid color belt on top.
Thank you, that’s a great idea that I hadn’t considered before!
Good morning Cath thanks for sharing..inspiring...I have made the Nova jumpsuit because of you and I really really luv it more than I thought ..keep up the good work sweetie xoxo
I’m so glad you are happy with your Nova jumpsuit! I love mine more than I thought too 😊 xxx
I really like the bright Myosotis, but think that when paired with those black tights, it works best with darker things, like the dark blue jacket.
I think it would also look lovely with those black sandals you wore with the Kalle dress (I think).
I love the fact that Named have given a lot of their patterns Finnish names, but I can imagine they're a bit of a mouthful, if you aren't used to the glut of vowels or hugely long compound words 😄
Thank you oh yes I think it would look nice with the black sandals too thanks!
Hi,
I think the checked myosotis dress would go well with a darker jeans jacket(waist or high hip length).
Thanks for the video. Have a great day, God bless you and your family!
Thank you very much 😊
I have the named book and gave not made the Saraste but mainly because for me the sleeves need to be longer perhaps to elbow to be more balanced and I haven’t had the energy to change it but actually maybe I’ll give it a go. Love your fabric
I hope you enjoy it if you do give it a go
Hi Cath, I’m enjoying your me made May. I love your checked dress, I don’t think it was any brighter than your kalle dress or the blue one at the end. I think if you are wearing black tights then a black cardigan or jacket would look nice over the top, or with red sandals but I actually think the red and green are quite Christmassy too. The blue dress at the end of the video is lovely and exactly what I’ve been looking to make so I will investigate the book you mentioned. (I remember you making all of the outfits in todays video) Looking forward to the rest of me made May!
I’m so glad you’re enjoying it 😊 thank you yes I think it’s a bit Christmassy too!
The Saraste is a nice pattern and there are some other cool patterns in the book too although I’m yet to try them!
Beautiful makes Cath, loved seeing them 😊
Thank you very much, I’m so glad you enjoyed seeing them 😊
Who is to say what is formal or when you should wear something? Wear and enjoy.
That’s a very good point!😊
Love your videos!
Thank you so much! 😊
I know you’ve discussed colour seasons before but I really think you are a Winter! That beautiful Myosotis has so much red and yellow which is sort of all wrong for that palette, might be why you don’t feel amazing in it? Or why it doesn't gel with your closet which is mostly cool colours? I would definitely pair it with something green because that pine green colour is a Winter colour. A dark green cardigan would really help! Or even a chunky scarf so that those yellows and reds are not so close to your face. The stripe matching on that dress is amazing!
Thank you, I was really happy with how the stripe matching turned out!
That’s a good thought re the colours in the myosotis thanks. Dark green would work really well!
Your darker jacket better suits the Myosotis dress, but to me, and via my screen, it appears that a couple of shades in the dress just don't work as well with your coloring. You have other things that are bright, but feature cooler tones. It's a beautiful dress and you can wear it better with a "friendlier" color around your shoulders. -Kelly
Thank you yes someone else said the same re the colours in the Myosotis dress! Good plan to put another colour on my shoulders to help 😊
The darker jacket looks great with the Myosotis
Thank you 😊
