- Hi everyone,
Thank you for joining me today for another video. I hope you are well and getting lots of sewing done.
If you haven't yet subscribed to my channel I would love it if you would, thank you!
Today I'm sharing my Autumn sewing plans, not many plans because I'm trying to be realistic and not put too much pressure on myself.
What I'm wearing New Look 6707 in a fabric from Legend Textiles, not Textiles Fabrics!
I mention 1st For Fabrics for my fabric purchases. www.1stforfabrics.co.uk
The beautiful fabric shop in Porto / armazem_dos_linhos_porto
The SewFizzTeaCated24 sewing challenge and Afternoon Tea on 19th October, being organised by Surrey Sews on Instagram - you can buy tickets from their Instagram page.
Thanks for watching and happy sewing!

so sorry about your cat. We have had several cats over the years and saying goodbye is just so heartbreaking. The first cat we had was very grumpy with anyone she didnt know. She lived to 19 years and losing her was awful. I was her best friend and she trusted me completely. Taking her to the vet for that last time felt like a betrayal. But it was the best thing to do. You deserve a spending spree after that. Good luck for the future.
@@diannehinksman4283 Hi Dianne, your old lady sounds very special, they take a piece of us with them. You're right, it felt like a betrayal but being able to ease their suffering is the kindest thing to do 😞 We still miss our old lady so much.
Yes! The blanca would be amazing on you! And how cool to recreate a whistles dress! I just love the blouse you’re wearing today xx
@@TheFrenchSeams_vlog Thanks Rachael, now to eek out some time to make them. The blouse is so easy, it looks involved but it comes together really quickly x
When you showed the Whistles dress, I immediately thought of a Simplicity Amazing Fit pattern I bought years ago and have never used. Then you produced that pattern!
@@chlomo2618 hehe good memory!
Oh my goodness yes you need to make the Blanca - you will love it!
Love your princess seam dress idea - that will look so fab and be so versatile ❤
Oh my goodness that blue and white viscose 😍😍😍
Lovely video ❤
@@DevonThreadTales Thanks Angela, I'll definitely be coming to you when I get stuck! I have all these plans but no time 😂
You deserve a medal for having to take your lovely cat to the vets on your own. It is the worst thing to endure.
Lovely plans Tania.....love that cobalt blue viscose, that's going to be a special marnie. Aw how lovely that you got treated on your birthday to a visit to a fabric shop! I hope you can find time/ energy to make all those things. Have a great week.
@@annettecowburn-sz8cq Thank you Annette, it's a horrible experience isn't it. I will plod on with my plans and see where I get 😊
Thank you Tania, I love your plans and that fabric from Porto is gorgeous .
I have had to say goodbye to many of my much loved cats over the years and it is heartbreaking .
The lack of a summer here in the UK definitely affected my love of sewing, I just gave up with my summer plans.......I have , however just cut out
a simple tried and trusted dress in a distinctly autumn fabric which hopefully will get me back into the swing of things😍
Love that Whistles dress, so good luck with that !
@@jenniferewart Thank you Jennifer, I'm sorry you've had to say goodbye so many times, it's heartbreaking. The summer weather was really disappointing, I feel your frustration. Its exciting to plan pretty summer makes but sometimes I wonder, what's the point! 🤣
I have the Alice and Co flight suit pattern, traced out ready to go, but.... hopefully this winter i will get it sewn up. So sorry about your cat, it's so hard to make that decision to let them go. Currently we have 2 senior dogs, aged 15 and 11, and 3 senior cats ag3d 15, 14, and 13. The oldest dog has really slowed down over the summer. I know the time is coming when i will have to make that decision, but for now we are just loving him, and enjoying everyday we have with him.
@@jennetthamilton971 I'm so sorry you're preparing yourself for the same. It's so hard to let them go, sending you lots of strength 🌼
This could be the winter that the flight suits happen, we can do it!
I love your blouse and fabrics. Sorry about your loss, pets are such a part of the family that we miss them dreadfully when they go but it’s worth it for the pleasure they bring when they are with us.
@@lovejohandmade Thank you, you're right we must remember all the years of cuddles and love ❤️
Love the fabric for the Blanca, that will look fab! Like you I'm scared of the zip and the amount of pieces but you have now inspired me to stop being such a chicken and get on with it!! I'll be sewing alongside you hopefully as I definitely want a Blanca for Autumn / winter. Can't wait to see the Bob pants too! 🤩
@@sewsarahstyle We can do it Sarah! As soon as I'm done with my Sewfizzteacated project I'll get started on the Blanca x
@@justletmesew okay, I’ll get my pattern and fabric prepped!! 🥰
So sorry about your cat. It's simply heartbreaking! Happy Sewing!
@@marciahighsmith4820 Thank you 😊
Great to see your planned makes. I agree losing a pet is heartbreaking.
@@pamgains7720 Thank you, it is so sad x
Lovely video! I have made the Simplicity over sized shirt and I love the pattern. It’s the first big 5 pattern that gives instructions on the “burrito” method and I refer to it every time I make another shirt because so many of the bug 5 don’t show that method and instead have you slip stitch the yoke down which I don’t want to take the time to do. 😊
@@Jenns_creative_spot That's great to know you've made it too and that the instructions were good. Thanks 😊
Great plans, love the cobalt blue fabric. Looking forward to seeing your Blanca flight suit made up
@@angelalysandrou4830 Thanks Angela, it might take some time 😂
So so sorry to hear about Ettie. I loved seeing her in your videos. We lost our cat very suddenly last Autumn and found it really tough so I really feel for you. It was bad enough going through that with my husband but to have to go on your own is horrible. 💔 Hopefully, in time, you’ll feel ready to provide a loving home to another cat in need. In the meantime, you have some great plans and fabrics there. Hope you feel the sewjo soon and have fun making them up. Xx
@@debbiecarter6430 Thank you Debbie, I'm sorry to hear about your cat too. They leave behind a big hole 😔 We got a kitten a few months ago to prepare for the worst, as my son loved Ettie so much. The kitten has been a great distraction for him and we're planning to put her ashes in the garden x
@@justletmesew 💖💖💖
How amazing I live 1.5 hrs from Porto although I’ve never been. I’m trying to find where mind the maker fabric is made which I’m told it’s made in Portugal and Turkey. I live in central Portugal so best wishes from here.
@@kateglazier3726 Wow, that would be cool to track it down! You should visit Porto, it's beautiful. Obrigada 😊
I have just made the Bob pants and found the video tutorial by Sew Happy better than the instructions.
@@susandean4689 thank you for the tip, I'll take a look at their video
