All three of your Zadies look lovely on you; you certainly didn't look old fashioned in your outfit. 50 sounds very young to me. I was 72 on Monday! I'd love to visit Tavistock - Quilt Direct is there :-) I didn't know about the other fabric shop. I have the Shelby Dress pattern and yours, which is so pretty, has inspired me to get it made up
Happy birthday to John, milestones are to be celebrated 🎉🥂. Angela you always look fab and sewing so neat. Your Shelby and Blanca flight suit my favs. Lovely video as usual 😊
Happy Birthday John! Really interesting clothes you wore, I think I would have worn the darker Zadie, the lighter one did seem more summery , although you always look gorgeous in that ever you wear. It is difficult dressing weather appropriate when you are in between seasons, although the Blanca is beautiful, so youthful too. I hope someone has some buttons for you, Amy’s dress is fab, wish I had the figure for it ❤
Happy birthday to John! 50 is Fine! Nice balloon! Tee hee! Best part of being 50 is having your family love you! Life will give you many good days ahead! Be brave! Ha!
I loved that you had leggings and a slip under your dress! What a great tip to keep warm and avoid the static-ness 😂 Happy birthday to John 🎉 Love your blanca flight suit I really want to try that pattern
Aahh thanks Michelle - it’s a great little trick and keeps you a bit warm too 😂 Thank you so much - you must have a go at the Blanca - it’s such a great pattern. 😊🥰
Happy birthday to John! The Shelby dress is so pretty! I love the style of it and the fabric you chose it beautiful. The corduroy dress for your daughter is fabulous.
Always love your one week memade vidoes Angela! The corduroy dress for your daughter looks so pretty, I hope you can find some more of the buttons as they look like they are perfect for the dress. Your Shelby dress is so pretty and your Bianca flight suit is fabulous!! x
Re Hoodies.. I picked up a pattern on sale, casual fit, and made one. I am now up to 4 and will make more. You can make them in a drapey lighter material, a heavy fun patterned jersey, and more 'dressy' ? an actual knit.. they each have a different level of casual or cool. The knit ones are fantastic for an elevated hoodie.I believe that cashmere hoodies were quite the thing recently, so I copied that look . I live in Montreal Canada, where we can have cold days all the way to June. Never too late here for another one :) My step daughter lives in NY, extremely smart and fashionable with the income to support that, and she wore 2 RTW knit hoodies while we stayed with them. Mine fit right in :)
Really ❤ your Shelby. I hope you were warm enough. Its usually really cold and snowy here in February but we've been treated to double digits this week so dug out some proper spring clothes. I know we're in for more snow yet but it will be tough to go back to turtleneck shirts. I have a pale mauve, boxy, slightly cropped hoodie that might become a regular when winter roars back. It is a little reminder of Easter and spring flowers at least in colour. I was going to suggest you try a slightly upscale sweatshirt pattern that will banish the athletic vibe. But I am also envious of Michelle's Stella hoodie in that marvelous marble fabric. A mid-weight french terry is great on its own or layered over t-shirts or even button up shirts. Thanks for showing us your week of me-mades and sharing your thoughts. I like all your Zadies and your Blanca but I can't be bothered with the undressing every time I need a pee 😂.
A fabulous week of memades as usual! I think it’s the type of fabric you’ve used for your zadie, it’s very drapey in comparison to the other two which have more structure. What a good idea with the layering under your dress!! I really like Amy’s dress, such cute buttons. Hope you manage to get some more! I laughed when John came around the corner with his balloon 🎈 😂🎉 xx
Whenever I see your me made weeks, the song by Rod Stewart springs to mind…..’You wear it well’. I always think you look fabulous in your makes. I love the look of the Zadie, and also the green tee shirt dress.
Hi Angela loved your video as always happy belated 50 birthday to John loved all your makes your daughters 👗 looks fab hope you get the buttons can’t wait for your next video see you soon Dawn xx
Itchy is the one and only reason I can’t wear wool items, such a shame as I see so many I’d love and this looks lovely on you. I love the Zadie’s (not so much the cheapest one)
Angela, you always look great. I think everyone will agree with you that, we are all so over winter now and need to wear something that isn't a sweatshirt or jumper. I've enjoyed seeing all your 1 week, me made outfits and I think they have all been lovely, from the stripey top and jeans to the shelby dress and everything in between. Big congrats to John for his 50th birthday 🎂 🥳 ps. He doesn't look it either.
Thanks for sharing Angela, I like your Zadie on you so maybe it was the occasion that made it feel not quite right? I made a Sew Over It Giselle dress in the same colourway. Not sure when in February you filmed this but it’s possible John and I have the same birthday just 10 years difference (can’t believe I’m 60 😮) anyway I did giggle when he walked in with his big balloon! 💙🧶🌈🍓
The Zadie jumpsuit can look a bit momsy. The Blanca has a more badass look. Maybe that would have been a better choice for your night out. It would have made you feel more secure. We all have those moments and those clothes. They make us feel good on some days under certain circumstances but they can make us feel insecure other times 🤷
I have the same sewing machine as you and I dread doing buttonholes on it. I hate that buttonholer with the little wheel at the side. I find it never works on plackets!! Your daughters dress is gorgeous 😍
Hi Angela, I really enjoyed your vlog. I love your Zadie jumpsuits, Ilford jacket and Shelby dress they are all beautiful. I think it must have been the way you were feeling when you went out in the Zadie as you looked gorgeous (as always). I’m putting the Zadie on my “to make” list now. I love Tavistock, we always go when we are visiting family in Plymouth, I didn’t know there was a fabric shop (how have I missed that)!! ❤😊
Thank you so much! That really is so kind of you 🥰 Aaahh yes make it - it’s actually a very easy make. Defo visit Sew Much Moor - it’s so lovely in there xx
Hi not exactly what you need but I have 4 of those buttons in the next size up. They are about 28mm (it has H on packet) I got them in home focus in Ireland if you want to see if they have some 😊 I’ll send you mine if they are any good
Aaahh thank you. The ones I need are 15mm. Aaahh that is such a shame as I would have taken you up on it. I will double check the home focus website see if they have any. Thanks so much 😄
I love your Blanca on you, it couldn't fit anymore perfect! My son in law is a airforce pilot so he wears a blue/grey jumpsuit, we just found out they are expecting and I found a red jumpsuit in a 0-3 month size but in chambrey red for their baby! I was so excited since it will work for boy or girl. It's actually very similar to yours minus the belt. Have you ever got your colours done? I think it would help you bring in colours that you will be happy with as well as keep you feeling more summery even in the grey days of winter.
Hello lovely lady - you are always so kind. Thank you 🥰 Oh my goodness that is so exciting - congratulations to you all. The mini jumpsuit sounds fabulous! I have just had my colours done - I’m going to try and be much more mindful about it all when buying things and making things. Thank you 🥰 xx
Great vlog as always the Zadie jumpsuit you had on probably wasn’t right for the season it’s quite light weight but I thought you looked great. I don’t know why John is sad about being 50 ask him what is the alternative lol? Love how you wear summer clothes in winter I would be far too cold and as for having bare legs no way, brave you ❤❤
All your Zadies are gorgeous, but the dark blue one looks longer in length, and maybe more "dressy" and less casual ??? I think when leg lengths rise they do tend to make the outfit more casual. Could it be that?
I adore the True Bias Shelby dress and liked the Sew Over It Nomi dress as well. I have just started my dressmaking journey, so I think both are beyond my capabilities at the moment, but maybe I will be able to make one or both of them someday. My ambition is to have a 'me made' wardrobe like you mixed with a few ready-to-wear pieces. I hope that you don't mind me asking, but where did you purchase the black slip that you were wearing under your dress?
Aaahh that’s so fabulous and a great ambition to have. If I can do it then you certainly can too. Good luck with it - and hope you enjoy the journey along the way. The slip is just a basic one from marks and Spencer’s. 😄
My husband and I do that all the time. Should we stay up for just one more episode.😂😂
🙈🙈🙈 it’s terrible isn’t it - and we always regret the next day 😂 xx
Lovely jumpsuits!!
Thank you 🥰 xx
Thank you for sharing your week and HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOHN 🎉🎉🎉🎉
That Shelby dress has to be my fave! Wonderful colour on you xx
Thanks so much lovely lady 🥰🥰🥰
you have absolutely beautiful clothing .. you are very talented.. your daughter will love the corduroy dress ..it is perfect
Thank you so much ☺️ 🥰
Slips really help!!! Finally you can find them again!😊
I'm so glad! I love a slip! Thank you 🥰 xx

Yes! Thank you! I will, as I do really like it. 🥰😄

He he he I know what you mean re needing a pee - lol 😂 x

Yes! Thank you! I know what is he like - lol.
Thanks chicka I have now managed to get the buttons - yay!!! 🎉
Thank you 🥰 xx
Well you are looking fabulous!❤❤❤
Thank you 😊
I love the puffy sleeves. They look fab on you- gorgeous top! Maybe put a thick layer of moisturiser on to give you a barrier against the mohair? X
Great tip! I’ll give it a go - thanks Katie 🥰
That blue dress ( it looks like a periwinkle blue on my screen) is just Spring perfect.😊
Aahh thank you - it is defo perfect for spring 🥰
Your boilersuiut is gorgeous, wear that

Nice springy jumpsuit!!!

Yyyeessss!!!! Plackets send it all over the place. I’m glad it’s not just me!
Thank you 🥰 xx
Yes Trigger Point was great !
It’s fab isn’t it 😄

What do you cook your tea with?
?!? I’m not sure what you mean? I want to say my oven/hob ? X
I saw those just now on the Groves website. It says they are a UK company. I search by name and item number.
Brilliant - thank you I will have a check 🥰
Why not wear the Zadie a couple more times to different events, and different seasons before you judge it. I thought it looked lovely.
Yes that’s such a good idea - thank you 🥰
O curto que é o look dela
👍🏼
Porque não provar bikini, não é tão velha assim
Ha ha - I guess not. I will give it a go x
