The top you’re wearing would be loved by the Sewing Bunny
Oh yes definitely! 😻
Love how you have found that your sewing skills have improved over time, and you can see the improvements to your newer garments…it’s lovely to know that,and be reminded of it. Really enjoy the content and the passing on of your knowledge..thank you.😊
Thank you very much. Yes I was really happy to find that my skills have improved too, it was really nice to revisit the Camden skirt pattern to see that 😊 I’m so glad you enjoy my content! Thank you!
Love your sewing makes. It’s amazing isn’t it how our sewing improves. Like you I often hand baste ,saves time in the long run and I find it gives a bit more confidence when doing trickier bits of garments.
Thank you very much 😊 I am definitely going to try hand basting more often, it’s quite mindful I think and like you say it does give more confidence too for trickier bits 😊
Your Dovestone dress is so beautiful. I love Melanie Ham's tutorials, she was fantastic. She sadly passed away last year 😢 but left behind her beautiful tutorials for us to continue on. I was very upset when I found out, so, so sad as loved her vlogs. Your Saltwater slip looks great on you, as does everything you make 😊 Lisa x 🇦🇺
Thank you very much 😊
It is so very sad that Melanie passed away last year. I’m so glad her amazing tutorials are still available to watch, they are fantastic and she has left such a wonderful legacy x
All of your projects look so nice! I love the skirt re-make, and the slip dress is so pretty! The pouch you made looks great .My Saturday mornings are always better when I can watch one of your videos!
Thank you so much! That’s so nice to know 😊❤️
Love the Ogden Cami! So pretty and practical. You have been very busy. Really appreciate how much craftsmanship you put into your makes. The black and white zippered sweatshirt is my favorite and the 👝. The skirt and dress for layering are all very pretty.
Thank you very much! I was really happy to be able to squeeze the Ogden cami out of that fabric remnant! Thanks I love the sweatshirt too 😊
Totally getting the 90's vibe from your saltwater slip Cath, it looks great!
Thank you very much! 😊
That Saltwater dress and the the Camden skirt are fabulous, Cath!
I really appreciate your reflections on sizing. Sometimes I'm just so excited to make something I forget to think how I'm planning on wearing it and factor in some extra ease.
Thank you very much! I’m so glad you found my reflections on sizing helpful! 😊
My husband has a Tardis bag I made him at least 8 year’s ago. He always uses it to travel
That sounds ace! Lucky husband 😊
Hi Cath, so nice to see you again. I think you should make a few more saltwater slips, it suits you so very well! I love the fabric you chose for it :) Looking forward to seeing what you have coming up. Have a lovely week xXx
Hi there thanks so much, I would really like to revisit the Saltwater 😊 thanks I love the fabric too, I’m sure I’ll have fun looking for fabric for another.
Hope you have a lovely week too xxx
Nice video, Cath. You always have nice makes and great reviews. Loved your husband's pouch in that fabric. Perfect solution for his new razor. I just clicked on the link for the pouch and it was bittersweet to see that it was a tutorial from Melanie Ham who passed away several years ago. She was the very first TH-camr I ever followed and she had some excellent videos and projects. She is missed. I'm so glad I clicked.
Thank you very much 😊 Melanie made such fabulous tutorials, I’m so glad they are still available on TH-cam, it’s so very sad that she passed away.
Love all your makes..And love the way you sewed your jacket up..I like the fuzzy side too...
Thank you very much. I’m really glad I cut the fabric that way up! definitely a happy accident 😊
Hello Cath, how lovely to see you again- Happy New Year to you and your family. What lovely makes, I particularly like the Didi zipped sweatshirt, which I think really suits you.x
Thank you so much Shelly. I am so happy with how the Didi sweatshirt turned out and it’s definitely good for keeping me cosy now the weather has turned cold here. Happy New Year to you and your family too 😊
Cath, your makes are all beautiful. You have given me a great idea for my husband, he has a beard trimming kit with lots of bits. The box is getting very tatty now and the little pouch would be an excellent idea, thank you very much.
Thank you very much 😊 Fab I hope you enjoy sewing up a pouch for your husband’s beard trimming kit too!
Good morning Cath, I want to thank you especially for sharing the details of your makes. I really like the tip about hand basting. Very helpful! Everything you made turned out great! The Dee Dee Pullover looks so cozy and comfy. I’m looking forward to seeing your fabric purchases and plans. See you then and have a great week!
I’m so glad you found the tips helpful! Thank you, yes the Didi is really cosy and comfy 😊 hope you have a great week too!
Thanks for sharing Cath, lots of lovely makes. 🧶🌈🍓💙
Thank you very much 😊❤️💙
I love bias cut garments bc they usually drape so beautifully. You should give it a go sometime. Love your cozy jacket. It’s really a “looker”. Can’t beat the Ogden Cami and the remake of your skirt is really fine. Your sewing has taken on a definite professional look. And I always love viewing your makes.
Thank you very much 😊 that’s a good point about bias cut garments. I’ve never sewn one so I really should give one a try!
I spilled tea on 2 dresses while I was sewing yesterday. One was viscose and colorful. I sewed it up yesterday and washed it today. It is fine. The other is a pink linen. I rinsed it with water and laid my pattern pieces out to dry overnight. It is visible but not terrible. I am hoping to finish sewing it today and wash it tonight. I have never spilled anything before so I was upset. The fabric was a gift so I hope it comes out. Hope your bleach stain isn’t too bad.
Oh no! I hope the stain comes out of your pink linen dress. It’s so disappointing when fabrics get stains isn’t it! Especially after all of the hard work sewing.
Ooo that dress looks so good on you and that fabric is so pretty. Love the cami too. 🤩
Thank you very much! I love the fabric for the saltwater too! 😊
Hi Cath! Good to see you again. I’ve never made my husband a pouch but I immediately thought that he needs one. As soon as you mentioned changing the size I remembered that he needs a travel bag for toiletries. This is on my list now! He goes to the gym and his things are shoved into a backpack. I’ve seen him rummaging around in the pack. I’ll be a hero! Thank you! 😄 See you soon.
Thanks for the tip about overlooking first, I'm really wanting to try this pattern out, yours turned out so beautiful, I love a ditzy floral.😊
Hi there, oh fab, I’m glad the pouch I made for my husband has inspired you to make one too! 😀 hope you enjoy sewing it as well!
Thank you very much, I love a ditsy floral too 😊 hope you enjoy sewing the pattern too, I found it a really fun sew
Thank you for the links! Very nice construction on the skirt and fleecy jacket. Yep, my first zip into a stretch fleece jacket resulted in a wavy mess, then stretch stabilizer to the rescue!
My first zip into a knit fabric was very much the same, definitely a wavy mess! I’m glad I gave it another try!
Hi Cath
Lovely to see you as always
Your makes are fabulous
The slip dress looks so good the way you styled it
I would definitely wear one styled like that myself
Your husband will be thrilled I’m sure with the bag they are so useful
I’m still knitting on my latest cardigan it’s an all over pattern so hopefully it will be finished soon
Have a lovely week Cath xx❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hi Paula
Thanks so much 😊 I really enjoyed sewing the slip dress and styling it too!
Thanks yes I was glad to be able to make my husband the bag!
It’s perfect weather for knitting at the moment, I’m trying to finish a cardigan too. Good luck finishing your one.
Hope you have a lovely week too 😊❤️❤️❤️xxx
Thank you Cath
See you soon xx❤️❤️❤️❤️
Love that skirt 😍
Thank you very much ❤️
Thanks for all the fluffy fabric sewing tips! I’m about to make the same sort of thing for my son with quite a bulky fabric so definitely will keep everything you said in mind xx
You’re very welcome! 😊 xx
Lovely makes again Cath. Love the dress. I made that boxy pouch too…it’s very handy.😊
Thank you very much Isobel 😊 the boxy pouch is handy isn’t it!
Hi Cath! You were a busy Bee this week. I like the sweatshirt. It's 0 degrees f here.😮
Thank you very much! Oh gosh that is very cold indeed, I hope it warms up with you soon!
Thank you so much for sharing the overlocker settings for the Sherpa. I was really struggling to get it right, tried your suggested settings and it worked straight away!
Brilliant I’m so glad you found the settings worked well!
Another great vlog thank you for sharing 😊
You’re very welcome, I’m so glad you enjoyed it 😊
Love your sherpa fleece top. It looks so cosy 🤩
Thank you, yes it’s super cosy 😊
Your Ogden cami is adorable Cath as is your kitty cat Linden sweatshirt. Love that you were able to use up some viscose scraps and it came out so beautiful. Happy New Year...xx Karen
Thank you so much Karen! I was really glad I had enough left of the fabric to squeeze the Ogden cami out!
Happy New Year to you too 😊 xx
Love your makes beautiful job.
Thank you very much 😊
Yeah sometimes hand tacking is such a good idea. I didn't know you could change the stitch length. I'm going on an overlocking course in Romsey this month in the hope that I learn the basics 🤩
That sounds like a really useful course, hope you enjoy it!
I made the tee version of the Linden. I added the band at the bottom. I just love your fabric!! I also downsize slightly as too much ease isn’t the best look on me.
That’s good to know about the tee version of the Linden, I must give it a try sometime!
Great vlog. Thanks for the blog on the Didi, Yours looks lovely. I had just received the same fleece in the black and tan. Looking forward to making it up. Did you also grade the front and back and the sleeve pattern pieces to fit into the band and cuff after you had widened them?
Thank you very much. I didn’t grade the main body/sleeve pattern pieces. I widened the cuffs and band as they were designed for fabrics with more stretch than my sherpa fleece so I felt I needed to widen them to make them fit better with the existing size of the other pattern pieces
Hi Cath, great vlog. Love all your makes. I made the Camden without the waistband. I have actually bought orange needlecraft to make another one a waistband ! Thank you for all your info on sizing. What height would your saltwater suit ?
Thank you very much. The Camden skirt is a lovely pattern isn’t it! I love it in needlecord.
I am 5’6 and I didn’t adjust the length of the Saltwater, I think if you were shorter you might need to shorten it a bit as it’s on the longer length of midi for me I’d say. If you were a bit taller it might be fine at that length still, just a slightly shorter midi length. Hope that helps
Cath, I have a question for you. How do you launder your lined skirt? I made a new pinafore that is cotton/wool blend with polyester lining for the bodice. I preshrank all the fabric before I sewed it, but now I wonder how to launder it successfully! Little late, I know!! Your experience with laundering lined garments would be greatly appreciated!😊
I generally wash lined garments on a cold, delicate cycle and then line dry 😊
Thank you!!!❤
I’m planning on sewing up the DiDi but worried the collar will be too wide. Do you think it would be easy to modify that? I like the zip detail on yours and that’s a good tip to add non stretch tape. Very cute!
Yes I think it would be easy enough to modify the Didi collar. It’s cut as one long piece that you fold over so you’d need to take a slice out of the middle and then I guess just use a shorter zip but then it should sew up just the same I think.
