You are one talented young lady!

Wow! What a journey! We DO buy so much fabric at the start, yeah? 😂 I just cut out three camp shirts for my brothers and Dad and I’m not feeling it anymore. Sewing for myself is much more exciting. For the Burda Magazine sizes, there is a chart. If I have a top, I go by bust size, if it’s bottoms, I use waist and hip measurements. For some reason Burda doesn’t use decimal points and it looks confusing to me.

Loved hearing about your sewing journey. It sounds like you’ve come far in 3 years 😀

I loved hearing about your sewing journey!!! I literally laughed at loud when you were talking about sewing the three sets of bags, I have been there where I batch cut something and am miserable sewing the second, third one lol your makes are lovely and I love watching your videos!

Lovely video thanks for making it. Tracing patterns is my least favourite part too, so I don't do it! I go for PDFs and have the pattern printed in a couple of sizes. Happy to hem your garments for you if you do all my gathering ! xxx

Always always enjoy your videos 😃. You had me laughing a few times. I’ve been sewing for a long long time. It’s very enjoyable and relaxing for me, even if I’m working on something a little difficult. I agree with you, learning to choose fabric that you love and looks good on you helps you not to buy fabric unnecessarily. I have a nice size fabric and pattern stash! I tell myself it’s because I’ve been sewing for so long but I know that’s not true 😂. I have gotten to the point that the fabric has to be screaming my name so loud before I purchase it 🤣 and it must be on sale. You’ve accomplished a lot in 3 years of sewing! Keep up the good work and you look so beautiful in your garments 🪡🧵👗🥰

Lovely vlog but please do show the French patterns too. 😁

Davenport dress is on my wish list, I think that blue and brown check would look fab, love all the patterns you picked out!

I love the fabric pick for the Davenport!

Hi! I definitely have to sew up my stash because I have no room for anything else😅😅😅 5 days😭😬😵‍💫🫨

Great video Di, you always make me laugh! 😄

Really enjoyed this video and it's great to hear about some different, new-to-me pattern companies xx

Good Morning Dee, Debbie here 👋 lovely vlog, I like all your pattern choices; especially the Jolene dress, so versatile and the shirt with retro vibes…beautiful 😊 have a lovely day x x

Hi 👋🏻 as much as I like the chambray, I actually think the fabric you bought when you were visiting your parents would look lovely as the Jolene. It won’t have the same structure though. Your suiting is going to look great too 😃💞

Love the Gladys dress and that blue fabric, that will look gorgeous in fact all your choices are great!

Ankara fabric - skirt Cheetah fabric - shirt dress Animal print - bomber jacket (buy the ribbing)

I love animal print - it’s my favourite print - sets my heart on fire! Dramatic, yes 😅. I need to go on a ban too. I’ll need to see…

You have great taste, I live all of the fabrics and pattern pair up.

Lovely fabrics and pattern choices. I’ve put myself on a fabric ban until boxing day because my fabric stash is getting to the point of being overwhelming to me. I’m determined to shop my stash. I can buy patterns if I really want to but I think I can probably make do with the ones I already have for the time being. Good luck with your plans, can’t wait to follow your progress 😄

I love all of your patterns and fabrics! I’m with you on the need to sew down my fabric stash for fear of my hubby finding out the size of it! 😂 I have the Rita dress on my wishlist too and I think it would also look amazing in that last fabric with the cheetahs. Looking forward to watching and keeping up with your progress. You can do it! 👏

It is so thoughtful of you to give your wise advice for beginners. I can't bear not to see the true colour and feel of fabric before buying so I don't shop on line so I would be interested in videos of market and shop fabric buying opportunities- even though I should not buy any more fabric. I don't even have a partner who acts as a curb on my spending as he says "Go on, buy it if you like it"

A couple of other options are Legend Textiles who are a good one for cheaper fabrics, ive also shopped at Fabric Land in person and online and they're pretty good, a lot of quilting stuff tho. I don't really have much local to me apart from a small stall in a local market who has mostly quilting cottons and Hobbycraft of course. I have moved away from Minerva, I did sign up to their annual discount thing but I just wasn't shopping there, it is good for checking what people have made with the fabric or the pattern. I shop at Simple Life Fabrics mostly and I think Sarah is great value for money. I also search through the remnants in the shops I consider more expensive like Guthrie Ghani and fabric godmother so I can have 'the good stuff' on occasion😂 I do prefer trying to shop in person if I ever get the chance though 😊

Hi Dee, Debbie here😊 in the cheaper category, Knighton fabrics have a website now. I haven’t bought from them yet, Mandy from Make it Sew has recommended them so when I am ready for more fabric I will look. You are so lucky to have a market with fabric stalls near you. When I started sewing in the 70s I always bought from our Market here in Southend… the market closed a long time ago. I have started visiting fabric shops around the country when away in our camper van and have recently visited Roy’s Material world in Leicester and Barry’s in Birmingham. I like Pound Fabrics on line too😊. Have a good Weekend x x

Wow that fabric is just about the best I have seen

Beautiful makes and fabrics! Have you tried using spray & iron starch (Beckmann's) on really flimsy lightweight fabrics before you use them? Saw this tip on another video & it helps me cut things out. Great videos!

Love the dress you're wearing and the other makes, great fabric purchases too. Thanks for sharing

Love the latest makes! They are just awesome. The fabric you got is stunning!

Loving your videos! Also your accent! You sound so fluent ! Would never even know you were from another country,My uncle never lost his Italian acc & he was in the UK 30 years! Subscribed from your 1st video xx

All the makes look amazing on you. 🥰 Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for sharing! VERY clear and useful!🥰

You are right it’s a Slip dress or I think the word you were looking for was petticoat if it’s just a skirt. Lovely makes and interesting patterns 😊

Enjoyed your video! Beautiful makes and lovely fabric haul. Can’t wait to see what you decide to make! The sound was good on my end. Looking forward to your next video.🪡🧵👗🥰

Debbie here 😊 I have sound…Good Morning 😊

Your video has no sound.

Lovely garments and choice of fabrics. I just came across your video and shall be popping in again. Happy sewing. :)

can you tell us the PDF company printing company you use please?

I love all your fabrics

Your fabrics are all quite pretty! Your dresses will be great. I love your energy.

I agree with buying more fabric for tall people. I'm almost as tall as you, and I hear dome people saying they made a little gathered dress from less than 2 metres. How!?! I almost always need at least 3 metres to make a basic straight cut dress or jumpsuit. If I want gathering or wide sleeves, etc. I need at least 4 metres. So I like getting 5 metres as well.

Hello! So nice to find your youtube channel! I usually see you on instagram :)

Lovely fabrics eager to see them made up. On the issue of transparency, I believe you might be confusing transparent with translucent. Most of the fabrics you showed are translucent, meaning light will show through but you will not see details of any kind. Transparent is akin to looking through your window. A very sheer chiffon is closer to transparent...if you hold it up I would be able to see your face. Unless your viscose is white or has very light ground you will not have to line them. Yes, I agree, a lined garment looks more expensive but not all those fabrics will need a lining. And, yes, holding them in front of sunlight window will make even a denim look like it needs a lining. Hope this helps.

Hi Di. Nice to meet you, I subscribed. I know about getting side track easily. I'm a Grandma, and I get sidetra a lot.😅😅😅

Totally agree about the sewing bee I could not handle that stress 😂 I am a quick sewer and I have to slow myself down quite often but no way I want to be on there. Love watching it though. The fabrics don’t look that see through, so I wonder if when made up they are fine apart from if you have the sun behind you which, tbh happens with most things doesn’t it 😊 love all your fabric and ideas ❤

Finally, someone who loves dresses as much as I do! I can’t wait to see the outcomes. Though the Pattern Fantastique and the Fibre Mood one are really similar…?

rather than lining dresses you may want to consider making or buying some half slips. They are very easy to make, just run elastic through a waist fold much like a skirt and it’s fun to get fancy with laces at the bottom. I make some slips full of waist gathers and others that are not as full, both types in very light weight fabrics. Personally I like my slips in a deep beige color that looks nice under any color dress. They stitch up in no time at all and are much easier than dealing with lining each dress.

Loved this video!!! You have such fabulous taste in fabrics. Every piece you showed I was so in love with. I had to calm myself down 😂. I can’t wait to see the finished garments. You gave me some ideas about some of my fabrics I’m not sure what to do with. Thanks!🩷 🪡🧵👗🥰

Love that yellow dress, gorgeous fabric! The headband combo is genius, I love it! I’ve stuck to a free pattern for a cardigan from melly sews it’s so similar to a lot of these I can’t bring myself to pay for a pattern! But I do need more cardigans I think great vlog 😊

Love your dresses, you did a fantastic job. I'm particularly drawn to the 2nd dress, the bright orange and blue.😊❤😊

Hello, you have 1 more subscriber. Good luck with your new channel ❤

Love your makes
