Oh Rachael I LOVE those Bat Hoodies 😂. Why didn't I think of making one of those for my Husband 🤣🦇. I have to show him this video. What clever Mummy you are. You really are a very talented quilter now, the woodland animals one is adorable. That is such a clever dress you made for Sewfisticated, it's like the original 'walk away dress' from the 50's/60's. As you say that will look great with a jumper underneath. Thanks for sharing all your brilliant projects. Have a wonderful weekend xx
Oh thank you!! Hahahaa you could totally make an adult one. That would be too fun.. and slightly traumatising for him 😂😂😂 Yes that dress is like a walk away dress for sure. I really enjoy wearing it! Hope you had a lovely week xx
Busy girl!! I love the orangey/rust colours of your makes and future make🧡 It is a great colour on you! That bag is so practical! I have not heard of that pattern before…always learning something new on your videos! The bat wing costumes are BRILLIANT! And how special to be starting to make quilts for your boys 💙 what an heirloom….such a precious thing for them to remember cuddles and forts and cozy bedtime stories with! Can’t wait to see them in production! Always inspiring!!
Lovely to see you, Rachael! :) I've missed you. Your makes are as awesome as always, and I just love that you wear your Ash jeans all the time now. The bat jackets are great, and the animal quilt blocks are the cutes things ever! I really want to get back into quilting now.
Ah thanks Karen Marie xx Quilting is so much fun, and you get into such a zone! I’ve been loving my ash jeans , delighted with myself 😂😂 hope all is well with you xx
Rachel your top is absolutely beautiful. I love the color. I just picked out a color very similar to yours and made a top with a mock-like turtleneck. I wish there were Frocktails close to me. Beautiful garments. Have an amazing weekend!❤
Amazing video as always Rachael. i just love boys hoodies, very cute. the quilt blocks are super cute. well done on finishing quilt top. Quilts for boys are fantastic idea. Alice loves quilt I made for her birthday. dress is just adorable. Thank you for such a nice words. You are so kind :) Enjoy your weekend away
I remember a quilt block in a sweatshirt pattern you made one winter, that would be divine to remake it with one of those animals, particularly for the person you mentioned. I did buy that sweatshirt pattern, I have many quilt block patterns, I just may do this! Thx for the update.
Loved this vlog! Have made the Bestie bag and wanted to make a denim one so that's great to see. Also I am watching you while making an Amara Vest in that very gorgeous burnt orange wool you're using for the York Pinafore, love it!! It will look amazing as the pinafore!
Perfect timing Rachael. I’ve just bought the bestie bag as well. I couldn’t believe the amount of pages to print either. There is a printing instructions pdf that comes with the pattern and on that it says which pages to print for which bag. Hope that helps. I just ended up printing them all as wasn’t sure which bag I would be making. 😊
Hi Alison! I completely missed that printing instructions file!! I never read those, you’re right!! I only needed to have printed 27 pages 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️ lesson learned 😂😂it’s a wonderful pattern though I hope you love yours too! Thanks for that and for watching
I was wondering where you had got too😅 I'm so excited for the knit and stich show can't wait always went when it was in Dublin. I'm going on the Friday so might bump into you 😊😊
Hi Rachael. I'm traveling from Toronto, Canada to my hometown Belfast next week. I'll be at the knitting and stitching show on the Friday. I'll be keeping my eyes open for you.
Oh you are so lucky. Whatever happened to similar shows in Toronto! I am so envious of all the vloggers who attend those shows and then share their day out. I hope you have a great time and find lots of goodies.
Love your chatty vlogs ❤. I have the waves and wild hoodie pattern and had intended to sew some for the little ones, but haven't made it yet. As you said life can be so busy 🙈. I'll be at the K&S show on the Sat and Sun....just so excited 🎉 Cant wait!!!
Hi Elaine! Life is so busy isn’t it! But I love making time to sew. The hoodie pattern is really great, I hope you get time to make it up! If you see me at the k&s, please pop over to say hi!
Great vlog, I've had the bestie bag on my to do list for a while now.. 57 pages to print is a lot... Love the ribbon quilt, it's such a unique design. Also going to the Knitting & Stitching show on 9th, hope to see you there.
I’ve since learned I only needed to print 27!! See today’s vlog 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️ it’s a really great pattern though! Be sure to pop over to say hi in Belfast! Thanks for watching
Hey, I know that squirrel! Her name is Shania (her mama is a country music fan). And wait just one minute, missy. Did Mr. F.S. buy a bias binding subscription spontaneously? What am I saying?! Gave him the appropriate link just like the rest of us do, eh? I also caught the reference to a Freya! It's been so long that I've missed her. The costumes for the Boys Wonder are completely fabulous!!! And they will love their quilts!
Oh lordie you do make me laugh!! Shania it is 😂😂 Mr FS was provided with a link to bias binding.. and the day romance is dead 😂😂 Lots of mentions of Freya’s these days.. it’s the season!!! Have a lovely weekend!
I love your Recital Blouse so much I think I might have to buy that pattern! But I’m with you about double gauze 🤣 Love the little animal FPP blocks. Your Bestie Bag is gorgeous. It really didn’t interest me when it first came out but I’m seeing so many of them recently, I’m starting to reconsider. It would make really wonderful Christmas presents.
Always enjoy your vlog I cannot wait to see your York pinafore , I’m still on the fence about getting the pattern so I think I will wait to see what your thoughts are on it. Happy sewing x
I love the ribbon quilt!! i want to make one now. Double gauze is my least favourite fabric to sew with too, it stretches really badly! especially after washing :(
Hello Rachel. I have been making quilts for many years. I have found that the 505 ends up clogging your machine. This is the method I use on my kitchen bench. No bending, no glue and no masking tape. Never had a failure and super quick to pin your quilt. Hope you find it as helpful as I do. th-cam.com/video/-BgbylXoUa8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=30mzctWfmwFoIh71
Another wonderful vlog - thank you so much for all your content creation! I've recently gone down the bag-making rabbit hole myself, and may now try the Bestie Bag. Although really - 50+ pages is way over the top! FYI - I found this wonderful, short video on how to create an adjustable bag strap with hidden strap ends. I thought you might be interested, as I noticed your strap end was on the top of the strap, so I'm assuming the Bestie Bag doesn't include these instructions. th-cam.com/video/vG9O8KuaRx4/w-d-xo.html

Rachel your top is absolutely beautiful. I love the color. I just picked out a color very similar to yours and made a top with a mock-like turtleneck. I wish there were Frocktails close to me. Beautiful garments. Have an amazing weekend!❤
Thanks so much zelda! Frocktails are so much fun! Such a shame there’s none local to you! You could always start one 😉
@TheFrenchSeams_vlog That is true! I mentioned you in my video that is coming out tomorrow. Stop by and see it!
@ will do Zelda thanks!

I’m a lucky lady! It’s so handy having a very crafty generous sister 😉

Hi Cindy! Excellent! I’m glad you enjoy the quilting content! It’s fun to sew all the things 😂😂
You've been busy as always Rachael! The bat hoodies are adorable and all those birthday treats look delicious! Love the 'apologies Katie' 😂
Ah thanks so much Tania! Katie is getting a shout out in most of my vlogs these days. I’ve a tendency to ramble 😂😂
Thanks for all the sewing chat and makes. I been checking repeatedly to see if you have posted another blog. Really enjoyed it.
Ah that’s very kind, thank you! I’m so delighted to be back! Thanks so much for your support! I really appreciate it!

Yes that’s right! The Nest Sweatshirt by Sew Liberated. Putting one of those animal blocks in it would be amazing!’
Happy sewing!

Just saw your Amara vest! It’s gorgeous !!!! It looks so prefect over the dress! Autumn lovers for the win!!!! Thanks for watching xx
The bat hoodies are fabulous.

@jennetthamilton971 Thanks so much. I wish there were such shows in Toronto.
Hi Christine! Oh fabulous!! If you spot me please pop over!! That’s very exciting! Safe teavels!!

@@TheFrenchSeams_vlog😊 will do ❤
Good to know about viscose twill!! I was thinking through what to choose for a pair of balloon trousers and this was a contender
No worries! Thanks for watching!
The wool is wonderful, I got the same one and made it into a coat!
Isn’t it gorgeous! Made into a coat would be absolutely beautiful!!
Great vlog, I've had the bestie bag on my to do list for a while now.. 57 pages to print is a lot... Love the ribbon quilt, it's such a unique design. Also going to the Knitting & Stitching show on 9th, hope to see you there.
Another great video, thank you. 505 is brilliant to use, it does the job brilliantly as long as you use it sparingly.
I’ve since learned I only needed to print 27!! See today’s vlog 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️ it’s a really great pattern though! Be sure to pop over to say hi in Belfast! Thanks for watching
Great tip! Thank you so much!!
I missed you. 2 weeks no French seams!I wish I had your energy…
Hahaha thanks Jane! It’s really great to be back!!!

Always enjoy your vlog I cannot wait to see your York pinafore , I’m still on the fence about getting the pattern so I think I will wait to see what your thoughts are on it. Happy sewing x
Hi Anne! I absolutely love the York!!! It’s a really great pattern! Hope you love it too! Thanks so much for watching!
You're lucky I have had the week off so watched the whole thing 😅😂 Don't do it again!!! ❤❤❤❤
😂 😂😂 phew!! 😂 You may have to take every Friday off 😉
Xx
57! Crazy 😱
I’ve since been told there are printing instructions 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️ i only needed print 27 😂😂
I love the ribbon quilt!! i want to make one now. Double gauze is my least favourite fabric to sew with too, it stretches really badly! especially after washing :(
Thanks so much 🎀
I’m glad you think double gauze is tricky too! And it’s a nightmare to unpick 😂😂
The pencil sharpenings comment is from "You've Got Mail".
Yes!!!!! I love that movie so much ✏️
Hi Rachel, how about adding FPP tree blocks to your forest animal quilt? Just a thought, Angela
Hi Angela! That is a fabulous idea! Thanks so much for that and thank you for watching
The bat hoodies are so cool. I have that pattern, is it confident beginner friendly? 🦇🦇🦇
Thanks so much! Yes the hoodie is a fab pattern and waves and wild instructions are top notch! I hope you love it too!!!
@@TheFrenchSeams_vlog brilliant, thank you. 🤩

Wow!!! What a great video by Izzy! I’ll be watching that for sure , thank you so much for sending it on!!
Only way to do quilts without breaking your back but still getting it nice and flat at the back! ❤
