Love the rainbows! A matching set would look so cute!! For the Christmas fabric, make a jumper but just the front and back of a raglan maybe and get a colour to match for the sleeves! It would look really cute ❤❤❤
Aahh thanks Rachael. Great idea re raglan top. That would be so cute ☺️
Thank you 🥰❤️
@@DevonThreadTales 🩷🩷 never too early to start thinking of Christmas makes!
@TheFrenchSeams_vlog 😂😂😂
Love the black and white faces fabric
Thank you 🥰❤️
I vote for matching set of Donny shirt and shorts pjs in the rainbow gingham 😊
Thank you 🤩 I’m excited to make this set up now 🥰
Your lovely pastel check fabric your thinking of making into pj's. I thought it might make a lovely shirred top with strappy ties you could even lengthen it if you like a dress made out of it. Look forward to seeing your make out of the fabric.
Aahh yes my daughter said the same thing. Unfortunately it is destined for pjs this time! lol.
Thank you 🥰❤️
ooh love the fabric for the high cuff top, it'll look great, its such a lovely pattern. Just binge catching up on your vlogs after my holiday! 😅
I can’t wait to make it up - I think the seasons are changing now so probably time to make it 😂🙈
Thank you 🥰❤️ Hope you had a fab time away xx
Hi Angela. I’ve made the ultimate shift dress quite a few times and tops from it but just a word of caution. It is drafted for very narrow shoulders and I found it very difficult to move in the sleeved one and so did my goddaughter. Therefore most of mine are sleeveless, it’s nice with a shoulder frill. I have a lot on my feed @ruthiesews from way back. It’s the first indie pattern I made when I returned to sewing and I was surprised at the fitting issues. It is a really nice style once you’ve mastered that. I think I increased the bust and shoulder area to a bigger size. Hope that’s helpful. Great plans and you’ve got me interested in that jumpsuit. 😊
Aahh that’s such a shame that happened - and annoying 😒. Really appreciate the tip though and potential issue to look out for. Thank you so much 🥰❤️
Well done you, firstly not cutting into your pattern and making a copy and then updating your sewing book 👏 you will inspire so many to do the same and make a toil which I think takes out a lot of disappointment if something goes wrong. Secondly I love the Donny shirt, please do try it and let us know what you think. You make me laugh re buttonholes, there is something about them that your machine doesn’t like 😂 and lastly I was one of those that hoped you made Christmas outfits for your family so loved seeing your Christmas fabric, nice leggings or pj bottoms perhaps. I think the lace would make nice sleeves to a dress for Christmas, just saying 😊. I am making the Ashton top, Helen’s Closet, with sleeves, I love it, not your style I don’t think but I’m using a Higgs Higgs fabric with embroidery at the hem on the front in lightweight demin, it looks great. I am already planning a third my second one without sleeves. Happy sewing ❤ X
Aahh thank you so much for your lovely comments 🥰❤️
I’m so hoping I can keep the boys book up as I can see how helpful it is going to be.
I know - button holes - aaahhhh!! 😂
Your top sounds like it’s going to be gorgeous- happy sewing 🧵
Thank you 🥰❤️
Great seeing you at the swap. I think a Christmas Pj top with the jersey then red trousers to go with it😊 oh and a kaftan with the lace!
Great idea!! I hadn’t thought about doing it that way round 🤔
Aahh it was so lovely to see you too Nicky 🥰❤️
Just a thought, for the Christmas fabric you could make a pair of bottoms adding a wide-ish yoga waistband. This way you wouldn’t lose any fabric to an elastic turn over.
Alternatively, she could add a solid-colored band at the bottom of each leg.
Great idea - Thank you 🥰
Fab vlog Angela. The high cuff top is very addictive! (Have made 3!)They are gorgeous in cotton lawn!
Thanks so much! 😊 I can’t wait to give it a go ❤️❤️❤️
@@DevonThreadTales have fun, it’s a very good transitional piece. It’s also v comfortable to wear and the medium uses only 1 m! I am also thinking of a short sleeved version, a bit like the grainline top. 😍
@user-wb9om6fg1e that’s a great idea 🥰
Donny will work perfectly, Nice fabric for pajamas.
I think so too! Thank you 🥰
The red trousers look great-look forward to seeing you wearing them. Your rainbow fabric will make great pjs & am sure you could get the Donny out of that, even if you have to adapt it slightly. I’ve just had a few days in Surrey with stepson & his partner. My hubby is still there making a patio & I’m back home in Warwickshire with the dog. I didn’t take my sewing machine but did cut out several things - another Safia trousers + McCall’s M7120 top (toile as adapting it slightly) + Butterick B6056 (B) top. Hoping I can have a mega sort out while my hubby is away + get some sewing done. Love your videos Angela.❤
Aaahh sounds like you got some great projects cut out. It’s so great to have a few projects cut out at once ready to go isn’t it.
Happy sewing- and thank you so much 🥰❤️
Great vlog Angela. I’ve made the high cuff top. Love the look and fit but can’t wear it. The main fabric was from sew Hayley Jane subscription and it’s a satin poly… I heat up like a trussed chicken in the oven! So I need to make another one. I might even unpick the ribbing from the first one as it’s such a lovely colour and really nice quality. Poly can put the kettle on but I won’t be planning on wrapping her round me any time soon 😂😂
😂😂😂 oh I flippin love this comment - you have made me chuckle. Good old Poly- she can stay in the cupboard!!!
Aaah so sorry that your first one isn’t wearable for those reasons, I really don’t enjoy wearing polyester for the exact same reason!!!
Thank you so much for cheering my Sunday morning up 😂🥰❤️
The Tammy Handmade Naya T-shirt would be perfect has a pj top. It is made for wovens and uses 1 meter or less. I always print line drawings of all my patterns to keep in a notebook of patterns and I glue one on pattern cards I have for each pattern once I have made it with other sewing information for next time.
Great idea!! I will try and do that - thank you 🥰❤️
I'm always taking measurements and writing them down on random bits of paper, then misplacing it, so yes to how you store things like that. Pjs from the checked fabric will be cute, but for me, it would be a shirt, it's just so colourful. I want to make 3 shirts in the next couple of week. I'm going to a theatre, an art show, and a friends' picnic lunch and plan to wear my white jeans to all. I have one shirt cut out, let's not talk about how long ago i cut it out. For the picnic, one of my friend's gifted me fabric of my choice from her mother's extensive fabric stash. I chose a fun Hawaiian print covered with pictures of Elvis. I think it will make my friend quite happy to see how I used the fabric. Not quite sure which fabric and pattern to use for shirt #3. I think beach slacks from the black lace, maybe lined with a thin black cotton? A fabric and pattern swap sounds fun.
Aahh all your blouse/shirt plans sound fabulous. And you have some lovely plans and events coming up too 😄
Thank you so much 🥰❤️
My pj top of choice is the Donny, lengthened as it is super cropped out of the packet . Fun Christmas fabric, maybe you could make Hudson pants with red Jersey for the waistbands and cuffs
Thank you - I can’t wait to give it a go.
Great idea re Christmas fabric 👍🏼
Thank you 🥰
I always make the Etty camisole and peppermint loungeware shorts for my pyjamas sets but the Donny would work if you prefer a bit more cover on your shoulders 😊
Oohh I’ll look that pattern up too - thanks for the recommendation 🥰
Hey Angela, I was in the grocery store when my watch told me you had a new video. I thought, "Wow, two in one week."
😂😂 he he! Yep I'm on a roll - lol!!
Thank you 🥰
Ingenious waist fastener for your trousers! My buttonholer is temperamental too. On a dress recently- test ones were fine, first 3 on the dress were fine but the last one was a disaster. So annoying! 🥴
Lovely rainbow fabric. Will look great whatever you make I’m sure. Enjoy your sewing week. 😀
Oh no!!!! That’s so annoying, and the sort of thing that happens to me - I get so frustrated with it!!!
Thank you so much ☺️ have a good week too 🥰❤️
I’ve made the Donny shirt as a pyjama top and it’s really comfy, it only takes 1 metre of fabric 😊
love it! Thank you 🥰
Buttonholes on waistbands or shirt collar stands- definitely my nemesis!!! The buttonhole foot does not cope with the different levels of fabric in a small space and I do not know what the answer is as the hump jump doesn’t work😮. So frustrating. Glad you have had a productive week. I do love my “makes” books - so useful and have just started a new book so I can collate all the tips and measurements currently on scraps all over the place 😂😂. I really fancy the High Cuff sweater and the new Nina Lee Holland Park dress and cannot wait to see your makes. Donny as a PJ top will definitely work- it is so comfy. Lovely fabric. The fabric swap sounds wonderful - I watched Helen talk about it. 😊. Happy cutting out. Lynne
Aahh thank you so much Lynne 🥰❤️
I definitely think the note book will be super useful - I just need to remember to use it every time 🙈😂
Thank you 🥰
Ooh - I'm so glad you posted about the rainbow gingham fabric. I have been eyeing that up online but it seems to be sold out everywhere, so after watching your video I popped up to Hobbycraft et voilà - a brand new bolt of it! Picked up 3 1/2:metres to make a dress for my daughter 😊
Aaahh yay - that’s fantastic!!! It will make a gorgeous dress 🥰
I love the Donny shirt PJ top idea! I have the pattern but haven't made it yet. I think it'd be gorgeous in this fabric!
Aahh thank you - yes I think it would work well. Hope you get to make it too 🥰
Donny shirt would be a perfect pj top, just maybe want to add a bit of length, but it is a beautiful make. With your Christmas pj idea, you could cut as long as you can, then add a cuff, or use bias binding to hem them.
Great idea!! I will give that a go - Thank you 🥰
Love that rainbow gingham, I bought it last week in Hobbycraft, the new fabrics by Brogan, The Crafty Pie are lovely. I can’t decide what to make from mine as well. Love that Xmas fabric. Tha fabric swap seemed great fun
It is gorgeous isn't it!!! Ooooh I hope you decide on something that you will love.
Thank you 🥰
Hi 👋, it occurred to me that you could make a toile of the woven jumper pattern but with short sleeves for your PJ’s set. You could even do it in white cotton and just have matching sleeves to your shorts.
I am also falling in love with jumpsuits… and I’m planning my first pair of dungarees. X
Aahh that’s not a bad shout - I’ll give that a thought as that could really work!
Good luck with your jumpsuit.
Thank you 🥰
That Christmas fabric is so fun can’t wait to see what you make. 🧶🌈🍓💙
It’s so cute isn’t it! Thank you 🥰❤️
I looked at a few sewing planners but none had what I wanted/thought I would use. Last year and this year I have been tracking my makes. Similarly I like to document what I have made rather than the planning.
Yes they never quite have what you want do they!!! I’m really hoping it will help me for future makes etc. thanks Alissa 🥰
Good stuff, thanks. I think the Donny top in that gingham with some shorts will be lovely. Have a lovely weekend. Xx
Thank you! You too 🥰🥰🥰
I love your rainbow fabric. Make a pj set for sure. It will be so cute.
Oh pants would be hilarious in the Xmas fabric. !!
Definitely!! 😂😂
Thank you 🥰
Great vlog as always just made the Donny Shirt it’s fabulous ❤❤❤
Yay! Thank you! Can’t wait to have a go at it 🥰
Your xmas fabric is adorable. Last xmas, I made Christmas themed t-shirts for the men in my family, little tops for the girls and an a-line dress for myself - all matching in the same jersey! It made a cute picture. Anyway,... you can always make the pants shorter, then add a little ruffle or flounce to add length to them. Or add some white faux fur to the bottom!
That is awesome! I bet that was so cute!!!
Thank you 🥰
Hi
Love your videos 💕
That swap looked like fun ❤
I’d be interested in a video about trello 😊
Brilliant - Thank you 🥰
Yay the Donny would be perfect. I can get one out of 1 meter and that’s with lengthening it for my crazy long torso 🎉
That’s fantastic - thank you ☺️
Lovely makes and plans. I’d make shorts and Donny from the crafty pie fabric. Donny is quite short but probably fine to lengthen from 1m and it’s quite loose fitting. I made the New Look strappy jumpsuit you wore in one of your July videos which is lovely- in fact my daughter loved it so much that I gave it to her and I’ve just cut out another one for myself. I also fancy the one you mentioned today … I always make notes when making things and note down tips from videos. I too fancy the high cuff top …
Aaahh isn’t that lovely. Your daughter is very lucky - aren’t you kind ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you 🥰
Just finished my second Elodie dress in some Guthrie Ghani cotton sateen fabric, great video xx
Ooohhh I really want to make the Elodie! Lovely!
Thank you 🥰
The Zoe dress is my go to work dress in a stretch woven. I make it over and over.
Aahh that’s so good to know - I wouldn’t have thought of a stretch cotton either - really great idea - Thank you 🥰
Thankyou so much for your video. Very timely, saved me from watching some documentary on race horses 😅.
Love your bubbly style and enthusiasm, keep up the good work and look forward to the next update x
😂😂😂 goodness!!! lol glad I saved you 😂🙈
You are so kind - Thank you so much 🥰
I immediately thought of a donny shirt for the pjs
Great minds!!!! Thank you 🥰
I started using a book to note down info about makes, not thinking it would be very useful but now I am really wishing I had done it before! Even for the 'I like this t shirt, I wonder what pattern it is times!! Maybe trackie style pjs with ribbing for cuffs and waist? Gorgeous!!!
I do really wish I had done this from the very start of sewing - would be so so helpful. It's really good to know that you find it helpful - I am going to try and keep it up as much as possible.
Thank you 🥰
Pj shorts and Donny shirt in the rainbow gingham would be really cute. When I was in an office supply shop, I bought two notebooks for 50 cents each to use for sewing. Impulse purchase, but hopefully I will use them.😊 Have a lovely weekend and happy sewing Angela.
I'm just about to make pjs with the donny shirt. Less than a metre for small. And walk the plank shorts in a pink and black check. I've not made it b4 but hoping it will be a wearable toile 😊 What about soi imogen pj pants for the xmas fabric? Use some cuffing for the hem x Fabulous vlog, going to watch Helen now 😁
Aahh that sounds fab - I’ll also look up that pattern for the Christmas fabric.
Thank you so much - that’s so kind of you 🥰
Nice save on your red trousers! My most stressful time sewing is at the end…I’ve put in so much time and thought and the garment is nearly finished but those tricky bits have to be done. Button holes, collars, etc. The entire project can be ruined at the very end!
Ah it is stressful isn’t it!!! Buttons really make me come out in a cold sweat 😂😂😂
Thank you 🥰
Aww wow how fabulous you managed to get that pattern for me!! Thanks so much ❤. I’m liking the look of this Holland dress, will have to check it out. Glad you went with the boden esque gold button xx
You’re welcome 😊 I’ll get it sent off today - promise 😉
Thank you 🥰
Both you and Beds are lovely love following you both 👍
Thanks so much 😊
Great video again. Thank you. You can get a Donny shirt out of a metre no trouble so you would have enough fabric. I sized down on the Donny shirt and the Holland Park dress. I'm currently working on the Holland Park dress with the wide straps.
Thanks for the info! That’s really helpful. I can’t wait to make both. Happy sewing ☺️
Thank you 🥰
@@DevonThreadTales I finished my Holland dress now and I love it and will definitely be making another this time with the short sleeves. I did find that the neck facing did not fit I dont know if it was my mistake in cutting out!!! probably. You have to cut 4 and join them up when I make it again and I will . I will try if I have enough fabric to cut the facing in one piece then there will be fewer joins which is where sometimes you have problems when slotting the elastic through. Also I found having an elastic bodkin a game changer for slotting the elastic through as the channels are quite narrow and a safety pin was a nightmare.
@@annpybus3583 Aahh that’s fantastic. That’s for letting me know I will keep an eye out for those sure and facing and see how I get on. Thank you so much ☺️
What a great idea to have a swap event.
It really was lovely 🥰
I was just going to suggest the Donny when you said it lol you should get both out of 2 meters 😊
Great minds 😂
Thank you 🥰
Your Christmas fabric, make trousers and do deep cuffs and bands in a coord? I have that fabric in a French Terry, it’s one of a few Christmas hoodies that I’ve made (I work with small children!!)
Aaaaahhh yesss! such a good idea! Thank you 🥰
I’ve made three Donny tops without the sleeves and prefer them to the sleeved version. I can get them out of well under a metre and am making more for the upcoming Australian summer as it’s become a favourite warm weather top! Lucy of Sew Essential made a lovely sleeveless version and inspired mine so have a look at her channel if interested.
That's a great idea! I don’t think I’ve seen Lucy’s- I will have a little search. Thank you 🥰
🤩☘️
🥰❤️
The Donny shirt takes a yard.
Thank you 🥰
Shorty pj's and a cami top...
Thank you 🥰❤️
Are you sure it’s your chair ? 😂😂
Well........😂😂😂
