Maybe your sewjoe has runoff with mine. Lol😂😂.. As we are or suppose to be going into warmer weather go for short sleeves. I like either of the Love notions. Loved the video. You may not have sold anything But, you have a story and some good laughs for the future. Stay safe. 😅❤
Hi Deb, I like the idea of the Freya. I would imagine double brushed poly is warm and so a simple shift that you can wear with black boots in the winter would be a good option. I agree a simple design will show off the beautiful and fun fabric. Very 60's. Black clunky accessories would look cute.
Good morning. I would choose the Willow. I feel you would have done better at the rodeo had the weather been nice. We have lots of them here in the wild west during the summer. The weather is always a wild card. Yes, the hair is a thing. I loved my velcro rollers for years. I got fed up with all the hassle and cut it off into a short pixie. With a little bit of gel and a loose natural curl, it is sew easy to care for. Just wash and fluff. It looks great,too. You have been busy. Your sew jo will return. Happy sewing! ❤ Bernadette
Thank you, the necklace is a wearable art piece that I bought at an Open Studio in Busselton a couple of years ago. I love it too and it is perfect with this jumper
Hi Deb 👋 when I am torn between a pattern I always think, which one would I regret most not making in the fabric, and go with that one. Given we’re going into the warmer months, and it’s a DBP the next question would be how long can I wait to wear it! Not long short sleeves, happy to wait then a longer sleeve 😁 This is literally how I have to choose things! And it’s always I want to wear it now. If I think I can wait it’ll be waiting and waiting! Loving the jumper so much! As for the rodeo, at least you’re still smiling, there’s always another event 😊 I absolutely feel the hair wars! I’ve noticed my hair seems to be changing after my hysto last year, the curls seem to be falling out! Some bits will be straight by the end of the work day! Oh well I’ll just go with it! I’m also not going down the HRT road and keeping as natural as possible. 🌻🌻
HI Hayley, lovely to hear from you and thank you for the comments. I agree if I make something now, I want to be able to wear it. I have decided to make the DBP dress in long sleeves which can be pretty handy in the trans seasons.. although not a long time in Perth, I need to be able to grab something easy and quick when needed. Up to about 20 degrees, long sleeves in DBP is fine. After that it gets too hot. Happy sewing!
Amazing job on the jumper, my thoughts are double brush poly is a warm fabric so I would think it would be a make for cold weather so long sleeves. The Freya would most likely fit fabric requirements not sure others would and it would also show the fabric pattern best. I did giggle when you said still cold at 18 degrees for jumpers. I live on an island on west coast of Scotland and we have had an even worse summer than most of the rest of the UK which have had a damp season. Today was the warmest days for 2 months at 18 degrees which felt less due to wind chill. Here peeps were out in T-shirts 😂. We have had average temps of 13 degrees in august with max of 15 & 105mm of rain so sounds like our summer is like your winter 😂 so I get what you experienced when you did your stall as I have seen many summer events where they are struggling and generally they have marquees and have limited door openings. I’m glad it didn’t dampen your spirits and wish you a very successful future events/ sales.😊
The hair... heredity alopecia robbed me pf ANY vanity related to my hair or lack thereof. Even breast cancer wasn't an issue. Never used rollers in my life and the only time my hair looked 'OK' in adulthood was when I was pregnant! Other aspects of ageing now there's a conversation waiting to happen! Your plan to regain your sewing mojo is a good one. Making something that you have done previously and love is a great way to ease back into things. The marker sound like an adventure! Off to checkout a certain shop on Etsy! See you next vlog!
I’d say the Freya (t & b) since there are fewer seams to interrupt that lovely fabric. I’ve had that book a while but not made anything. However there are some great techniques in the book. I have really, really thick hair so I keep it short these days so that I can finger dry it and then put on some product to spike it 🤣🤣🤣 Love your enthusiasm Thanks Deb 🙋🏼🏴
Hi Deb, I would make the dress from the Tilly and the Buttons book as it doesn’t have a waist seam so won’t be so broken up, looking forward to seeing your dress, Deb

Yes that is what I am leaning towards, the Freyer with winter boot. And youre right, DBP is too warm for summer.
Tilly and the buttons dress is a great cut for 1960s vibe in your fabric Deb. 😊
I think so too! Thanks for the comment
Deb, sounds like you are having adventures...the most important thing :)
for sure, adventure plus here!

I agree, the Rodeo stall would have done way better with better weather. Hair issues, never go away do they? Thanks for your comments.
The necklace looks beautiful with your jumper.
Thank you, the necklace is a wearable art piece that I bought at an Open Studio in Busselton a couple of years ago. I love it too and it is perfect with this jumper
The last Dress definitely! ❤
Cool, that's what I ended up making...
I can see the Freya dress i agree without the frill your a very talented knitter what a shame with the weather you certainly have a tale to tell 😊😊😊
Thankyou for your comments

Thanks for your comments. I made the Freyer out of it and it turned out lovely
I fancy the flutter sleeve dress on the second pattern. The top version ONLY if there's a shortage of fabric. Happy sewing!
Thanks for your vote. I am working on the dress and hopefully it will turn out OK
I love following your vlogs - you’re very inspiring! So cheers Deb for always being positive and entertaining 🤗
Oh thanks Janet, lovely comment

Thanks for your suggestion to use the Freya pattern, and for your comments. Happy sewing!

Hi Deb, thanks for your suggestion. That is the one I am leaning towards doing. It should turn out nice
You're hair roller dilemma made me laugh. I remember going to bed, just like you, all scarfed up with hair rollers digging into my head!😂
those were the days, sleeping in hair rollers. But wasnt our hair so beautiful when we woke up? So worth it!
Tilly and the Buttons, would have made terrific palazzo pants, if you had enough fabric.
Oh yeah, maybe there will be enough? I shall see
The last one imo. But if you lack fabric amount then the peplum top in the second pattern packet imo.
Great suggestion. Thanks
The hair goes from your head to your top lip and chin, nice dark colour too even if you are fair. Pluck one and three take its place. 😂
Hahaha, too true!
Yes understand the hair and just laughed. Enjoyed your video and the life update. 😊
Yes! Thank you!
Hi Deb, I like the look of the Tilly and the Buttons pattern....
Oh yes, the Freyer dress is the winner !
