Love the 2 pencil/SA hack!! Now I can dive into my Fibre Mood patterns. Recently made the Lois dress from Tessuti & the darts were cut out. It was scary but worked perfectly. You insert a zip into one of the darts, which was a little bit if magic I thought. Amazing the little things that make a big difference. Thanks for sharing your hacks. 👌
Yes it’s such a simple think isn’t it but such a difference! I hope the seam allowance hack works I need to try that properly I think! Thank you for watching xx
Hi Sally I really enjoyed your vlog I just watched😀 My favorite make you chose is your Carolyn pajamas. The fabric is so cheerful and pretty🤩🤩 and the pink piping is perfect!! Can't wait to see how they look, very pretty I'm sure😊 I have to tell you how pleasantly surprised it was to see you pull out your new Montana midi dress pattern because I just bought that same one a week ago and look forward to making it. It's simplicity caught my eye😃 I'm sure your summer dress will be just as lovely as all your makes. You're a great seamstress ....you can make anything!😊
Thank you so much for watching I’m so pleased with my Carolyn Pyjamas I’ll be sharing them in a makes video soon 😊 It seems a few of us went for the Montana Dress pattern how funny it’ll be good to see everyone else’s made up too. Thanks for watching x
really like the carolyn pj's and that pink piping will be fabulous. looks like you matched that perfectly. The melange ecru sweatshirting is lovely too. Can't wait to see that style arc dress too ... all the plans and so little time!
Hi Sally, I feel the same about using up my knit fabrics before I start doing some Spring and Summer sewing😊 Love the PJ plans and fabrics. The Toaster sweater is one of my favorite patterns but I think I still prefer the Jarrah for me😉
I’m definitely excited for spring sewing now :) I agree the Jarrah is my favourite pattern too, I’m hoping the neck of the Toaster won’t annoy me. Thanks for watching xx
Great choices! the Style Arc dress looks so comfy for summer... would definitely luv to see a sew along the the Style Arc Schacket... this would make a good summer evening jacket for around the campfire.. or in my case.. beachfire :)
I like your pyjama projects, especially the Carolyn pyjamas with pink piping would look wonderful. I've just made myself pyjamas out of silk fabric . Now that we're getting into spring I find my winter pjs too warm and at my age I need something cool so silk was the right choice as it feels both cool and wonderful to the skin.
I bet your silk pyjamas are lovely and very luxurious. I’m making the Carolyn pyjamas at the moment And I’m really enjoying how they are coming together xx
Hi Sally, I too am a fan of Style Arc patterns and have made the Nova dress quite recently which was an easy and successful sew. I am what is termed " a confident beginner " and found the pattern instructions though minimal ,easy to follow. The choice of patterns available from Style Arc are great, makes me want to try them all !!! Good luck with all your plans for March.
I like the look of the Nova Dress - well done I think confidence in sewing counts for a lot! Yes I agree there are so many that I'd like to try too, great selection and very size inclusive too. Thanks for watching xx
Super video, thanks. I have the Montana pattern, I made it in a woven fabric, it was, as you said, a super easy pattern to make. Mine turned out rather large, so be careful which size you choose to make. I think it would be very good in a stretch fabric, in fact you have inspired me to try just that - I have several jersey fabrics waiting for me to get round to using. I shall try a smaller size this time, though. I recently bought five Style Arc patterns from Style Arc in Australia, and they came faster than lots of British ones do. The postage cost is high, but if you just work on the overall cost divided by the number of patterns, the cost per pattern is still very reasonable. I'm sure you know this, but some subscribers may not!
Thank you! I am a little worried about the sizing of the dress I think I’ll probably size down when I make it. Thank you for the explanation about postage and cost too that’s very helpful :) x
I have the last pattern but haven’t made it as I could work out the lining the top part. So be great to see you make. Looking forward seeing all your march makes.
Oh, I am also feeling the urge to finish all the wintery sews before spring hits. I am now also on the shacket train, so it is lovely to see your version.
Yes I feel like spring is on it's way now although it's still very chilly here! I think they shacket will be a good one for transition into the warmer weather won't it :) Thank you for watching xx
Oh my goodness, that petrol coloured fleece back fabric is spectacularly beautiful! I would happily be clothed in that from head to toe 😍 And I agree, the simplicity of that dress pattern is what makes it so appealing. Looking forward to seeing your garments made up.
It’s a lovely colour isn’t it. I’m pleased I went for something different it’s hard to tell the colour online but it’s lovely. I can’t wait to give the dress pattern a go in the summertime. Thank you for watching xx
Lovely plans and fabric Sally. I have the Carolyn Pyjama pattern but i am struggling to get the ready covered piping. Would you be able to provide a link for the piping. Thank you very much.
Oh yes sorry I did forget to link that didn't I! It's here and I'll add it to the description too. Ebay seems to be the best place to get it from for me anyway x www.ebay.co.uk/itm/183742150592?
All absolutely gorgeous fabrics! I particularly love the jersey you’re using for your Juno pjs. They’ll be so lovely. Looking forward to seeing them all made up 😊
Thank you! It's pretty isn't it, I'm glad I spied that on the Minerva site :). Will be sure to share them when they are done and thanks so much for watching x
I love your plans and you have inspired me to get on with mine! Can I ask please if you made your cardigan or if it is ready to wear? I love the colour and wonder where it is from! Thank you x
All those look stunning. I've just made the lennox skirt from stylearc and about to make my second version. They are sketchy instructions but like you said the pattern drafting makes up for the lack of instructions. The shacket will be lovely in that check fabric.
Yes they are just a different type of pattern aren’t they. I think a lot of indie patterns have very detailed instructions so that’s what we’re used to. Thank you for watching I’ll have a look at that SA pattern too 😊 x
Thank you! Yes it’s lovely isn’t it, yes I have but I have to admit I spend most of my time in my waterproof coat with a hood as my life mainly revolves around being out with kids/dog in all weathers 😂 x
Not sure you are aware but Simplicity did a version of the Toaster Sweater with several more options. #8529. It is in collaboration with Sew House 7 and it it the same pattern but with just more views.
I have literally just bought some French terry to make up version two in haha! Glad to know it works well - I couldn’t resist giving that version a go too x
@@SecretLifeOfASeamstress it will be lovely, very comfortable too. I have them in varied lengths. Very versatile. Think I have 4 and I’m going the same way with the Remy such a versatile pattern too
I haven’t seen too many around I found it on my hunt for a shacket pattern. It’s true sometimes I haven’t been taken by a pattern initially and then seeing it made up changes my mind 😊 Thank you for watching xx

Oh no! I hope I’ll be able to then 🙈 I guess that’s when their patterns can be a little vague x
@@SecretLifeOfASeamstress I’m sure you will, you sew a lot more than me. 😊
I love all your cosy plans, PJs and sweatshirts are what we all live in now 😊
Thank you!! Yes I can't feel comfortable in anything else at the moment haha xx

Love the pyjama plans. I need to add some to my make list too x
I do love a pair of PJs it'll be nice to replace my scraggy ones too :). Thank you for watching xx
I have made a number of toasters and I have only made v2. It’s great in a French terry
I have literally just bought some French terry to make up version two in haha! Glad to know it works well - I couldn’t resist giving that version a go too x

Haven’t heard much about the Logan. Looks nice made up. I wouldn’t have chosen the pattern looking at the artwork, so it just shows you need vision.
I haven’t seen too many around I found it on my hunt for a shacket pattern. It’s true sometimes I haven’t been taken by a pattern initially and then seeing it made up changes my mind 😊 Thank you for watching xx
