The black jacquard is perfect for that floaty dress 👌I used the same fabric in green for a dress to wear at a wedding in the summer and it felt lovely to wear. Hope you feel better tomorrow x
A MIA dress in the black jacquard fabric will be fabulous! Peppermint is good for relaxing, helps you sleep, and is also good for cold symptoms. Hope you get some rest and feel better soon.
Hi Ruan. Hope you're feeling better. Love the fabric for the little black dress and also the daytime "nightclubbing" event you're going to, that just made me laugh. I hadn't heard of it till you mentioned it. It sounds perfect.🙂
Helloooo lovely one. I hope you’re feeling better ❤ The Maison Fauve dress will be stunning and daytime clubbing sounds genius! Thank you for all your hard work vlogmassing ❤
Ruan, hope you feel better soon. I have to say I miss the rustle! I miss the anticipation, slight panic, and then relief, aaah. And boo to the ORDER of the paper bags too 😂. I like your authenticity and unpredictability, please do not rob us of those few extra seconds rustling about. Love your vlogs, take care x
Pretty blouse. The dress is amazing too. Off to a sewing store for “Demo December”. Several stations with different machine demonstrations , a trunk show of items made from Kimberbell (my favorite machine embroidery company), raffle tickets and treats! Wish you could go too. Hugs from Oregon.
I just used that same black fabric to make a hacked Helen's Closet Reynold's dress. It was a dream to sew with and looked so good. I can't wait to see your dress in it! Also love the idea of day clubbing and being in your pjs with at tea at 8pm :-)
As our kids got older I put a sleeping bag beside my bed on the floor. If they need mommy they would come in and sometimes wake me so we could hold hands until they fall asleep. Saves the spider kids during the night kicking and taking up the bed and they ge comfort they need.
I made a Nikko maxi length in a merino wool and it is a fabulous black dress. Not as short as your idea but super cozy! Black leopard is great. Make a maxi? I have sewn a label on the back about 2" down from the collar. The other option is a little label at the bottom hem.
I was looking at the Mia dress pattern today. I am definitely going to make it. It’s beautiful fabric, definitely going to look fabulous! Isn’t it funny how that happens! I wasn’t sure but I am now!
I have the Mia dress on my list to make this month! Bought that pattern because of the blouse you made so I guess this is my sign to actually make it! lol
That jacquard fabric is perfect for the dress, and very on-brand 😄 I'm going to one of those daytime dance clubs for grown-ups in January, and I hadn't even thought about what I'll wear. You may have prevented me from some panic sewing of my own. Feel better soon
I love your “let’s guess what this is” dance before opening those envelopes 😄. Yep, knew you would zero in on the gonk Christmas tree. That would be fun to put together. Lovely earrings too. Thank you for sharing! Your friend Diane ❤
I did day time clubbing in Southend. It was so much fun. A bit weird leaving so early after a ‘few’ cocktails, people were still shopping 🤣🤣 I hope you feel better after a nice rest this evening🤞🤞🤞
That LBD will be gorgeous ,. Black with animal print lol 💙💙🤣‼️… may I ask what pattern you use for your husbands joggers you made him I love the contrast pocket with black one grey 👍🏼👍🏼‼️

I hate labels too. But I put them on the outside - sometimes neckline, at the wrist or in a hem. As long as it’s not touching me on the inside!
He he. Yes I’ve seen some people doing that. Great idea x
Love the black jacquard for your dress it's geooorgious darling ❤
Thanks honey x
I have one of those things and I had zero idea what that was for. Thanks for the tip.
Glad I could help!
That fabric will be a beautiful Mia! Hope you feel better tomoro 😊

Thank you. Let’s hope I manage to panic sew!
You could you do a black dress trimmed with an animal print around the hem …. Xx
Double animal print - love it!

I think it's so funny they are called gonks where you live. we call them gnomes, or are they different?
Apparently it's their faces that are different - you can't see most of a gonks facial features - who knew? 🤣
Just letting you know if you drink peppermint tea at night you don’t sleep so well. Camomile tea is for night.
Ah my understanding is that it’s free of caffeine so suitable for any time of day x
Ask at your health shops. My homeopath told me not to drink it at night.
@ I’ll give that a try 👍🏼
Early night for you honey
After Celebrity Jungle 🤪
