    all absolutely lovely! that last dress that you sewed out of an old men's shirt (I think) would be a star in a GBSB upcycle challenge.

      Thank you. I was surprised at just how much I liked the yellow colour!

    I love this hashtag! Regarding your red cardigan, I think when you find the right red that suits your colouring it almost becomes a neutral. You can wear it with everything.

    • @sewamelia
      @sewamelia  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thank you Natalie. It is such a fun hashtag, isn't it! I do agree about red being a neutral - it really does go with everything!

    Ooh this tank is gorgeous plus the shelf bra? Yes please! I will check it out though I am quite busty... 🤞🏼🤞🏼

    • @sewamelia

      Thank you! I absolutely love the shelf bra on this top, it makes it really comfortable to wear.

    Great video Amelia. I actually haven’t made a single one of your picks, I must change that! I think I’ll copy you and make some kids pj sets this year with the patterns you recommended. 😊

    • @sewamelia
      @sewamelia  ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Thank you Sarah, I am glad you liked my pics. The boys love their PJ sets. They are such great free patterns!

    Such a lovely collection! I keep returning to the Winslow Cullots, and the Rosa dress by Rosery Apparel!

    • @sewamelia
      @sewamelia  ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Thank you! The Winslow Culottes and the Rosa dress are both beautiful!

    I liked seeing your Nina Lee dress and the hack. I love my Nina Lee Bakerloo dress too. However, I cannot live without the Hazel Dress by Rosery Apparel . I think I have made 5 of them now.

    • @sewamelia
      @sewamelia  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Oh, the Hazel dress is just lovely! I adore that one too.

    Lovely choices. I so enjoy your videos. How did you embroider on the buttons?

    • @sewamelia
      @sewamelia  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Thank you so much! I found a tutorial online to embroider the buttons. I think I linked to it on my original video. It was so much fun to do!

    Top, Remy Raglan by Sew House Seven; bottom, luna pants by Made by Rae (I have trousers, shorts, pjs out of these in all types of fabrics, this is my go to trouser pattern); one piece, Montana dress by Stylearc patterns; layering piece, no current favourite/essential but about to try the waterfall cardigan from Love Notions patterns; wild card, Hannah Tank from Pattern Scout. Thank you for your videos, I always enjoy them :)

    • @sewamelia
      @sewamelia  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Oh, those patterns are all gorgeous! I really want to make the Style Arc Montana or Hope dress soon. Thank you so much for watching, Sue. I am so glad you enjoy the videos!

    Thanks for this, I shall definitely be looking at the tank and cardi pattern for me but you share the best childrens patterns. I have just made the t-shirt and shorts patterns at your recommendations, both for my 2 year old granddaughter and my 6 year old grand son. They have been a great success. I can just get a t shirt for 2 yr old out of an old t-shirt of mine, useful as she gets through so many clothes at nursery! I put a tiny frill on the bottom of the girls shorts to make them a bit more feminine. I shall be looking at the dress recommendations and I love the coat and may well make that for her for the winter! Thank you so much, I love your videos and always look forward to the next one.

    • @sewamelia
      @sewamelia  ปีที่แล้ว

      Oh, thank you so much for sharing that with me - it is so lovely to hear of other people making these patterns too. I am glad they were such a hit with your grand children. Mine live in these shorts and t-shirts all summer long!

    Awww sweetie dress! 😍💕 Do you use a specific stitch for sewing knits or special thread? Thank you!

    • @sewamelia
      @sewamelia  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Thank you! I used to use a zig zag and regular thread as well as my overlocker. Now I use Maraflex thread too, especially for top stitching!

    DIBY ABB Tee adult pattern is also great, I use to make merino basics

    • @sewamelia
      @sewamelia  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thank you Michelle, that is so good to know! I think I might try it for some basic t-shirts as the kids version is so good!

  • @karriesteel6191

    My essential is a sheath dress.... I am large busted and short so when I fit the top it defines my waist and skins my lower half while giving one color line

    • @sewamelia
      @sewamelia  ปีที่แล้ว

      That sounds perfect! I always think sheath dresses look so elegant!

  • @ames0596

    how did you embroider flowers on the buttons? Beautiful!

    • @sewamelia

      I think I linked the tutorial I used in the description box. It was a lot of fun!

    I might have missed it but what material did you use for your red crop top?

    • @sewamelia
      @sewamelia  ปีที่แล้ว

      I used a sweater knit from Minerva but sadly they no longer sell it and I haven't found a good alternative yet!

    Hi just watching an old video of you making Monika skirt pattern can I ask what company as googled n nothing came up
    Please

    • @sewamelia
      @sewamelia  ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi Caroline! I think it is the Manuka skirt, and the pattern company is Below the Kowhai. It is a great pattern!

  • @kayemcmullen

    Love them all. The skirt in the bright, abstract print is sensational. Please don’t feel you have to answer, as I often leave comments on the content creators I admire to help with the algorithm.

    What fabric did you use for your lovely red Jennifer Lauren Juniper Cardigan, Amelia?

    • @sewamelia
      @sewamelia  ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank you Ann. I used a sweater knit from Minerva, but they don't seem to sell it any more which is such a shame!
