That Burda red floral skirt is gorgeous. Great work😊😊

Gorgeous garments. I love the red dress with the white belt. Very elegant. The sewn in bra was very clever!

Lovely to see you and your makes especially your Darla which is gorgeous ❤. Might have to buy the regalia blouse, it looks great on you x

Yay, you’re back! Hello sunshine! It’s great to see you, you’ve been missed! Your Darla dress turned out beautifully and it looks absolutely gorgeous on you (and you know I love that fabric 😉). The bra hack was a 100% success,. The 7405 dress is beautiful on you too - that neckline really suits you, shows off those sun kissed shoulders to perfection. The tshirt dress is such a great staple make for the summer, it looks lovely with both belts and it’s quite remarkable how just changing belts gives it two different looks. Hehe, love your market fabric finds - why pay more when you can find such lovely fabrics at great prices. What a lovely blouse too - I love the sleeves. Sadly I can’t wear that type of close neckline, it does nothing for me - I overheat just thinking about it, but on you it looks gorgeous! It’s so good to hear that you’ve taken time out for yourself this summer and prioritised your health and well-being. Sewing is a big part of that for so many of us isn’t it. A great mindful activity that takes our minds off our troubles and helps us relax and become absorbed in ‘the now’. I lost my sewing mojo and didn’t do much over the summer, for various reasons, but my sewing mojo has returned now and I’ve made an All In Easy shirt (Pattern Emporium) and a Simplicity 6766 waist tie top in the last 2 weeks - it’s feels good to get back in the sewing saddle again. Looking forward to part 2 of your late summer makes - can’t wait to see them and you. Happy sewing lovely 🧵 😊 🧵

I love watching your videos ❤ There is no need to apologize. 😊

Hiya, lovely to see you back. I adore your Darla dress, the secret bra works so well, it’s definitely something I’d need to do. Cute T-shirt dress as well, I prefer with the white belt. Glad to hear you’re doing ok xx

Lovely makes.

I think everything you've made is beautiful, especially like the blouse. i will be having a look for that pattern. thankyou

I’ve missed seeing what you’re up to.

I have thought about sewing in bra cups like with a swimsuit. Now support but some coverage.

Anita, I'm so sorry you are not feeling well. So many of us struggle with similar issues. Hang in there and be sure to take care of yourself. Suzanne

Lovely blouses.

I so appreciate all the notes on adjustments. I am somewhat less intimidated by adjustments with your information.

Anita, So nice to see you again. I love the pink blouse. It looks nice on you. Hope to see you again soon with your May makes. Suzanne

Lovely makes as always Anita. That red fabric is so striking against your dark hair, it does have an oriental vibe for sure. I love the way you added darts to make the design work for you. Your pale pink blouse is so pretty too - a totally different vibe but just as lovely and I think the way you handled the cuffs looks great. Those shorts are super cute - fabulous for summer days. I have the pattern, but not the legs 🙄😅). I hope your dress is coming along well too. Happy sewing 🧵 😊 🧵

Lovely blouses and shorts! You did a great job sewing them! Always enjoy your videos 🪡🧵👗🥰

Hi Anita. Beautiful blouse!❤

Lovely makes. 💖 For your shirt all you need is a broad back adjustment. 🧵🪡 Happy Sewing. 🥰

So sorry you’ve been feeling this way Anita! I hope that the HRT will continue to make a difference. I think it’s good that you’ve mentioned it on here as it will resonate with a lot of people, especially us ladies who do go through the mill with our hormones. Sending you a hug. I don’t have any advice for the shelf bra, but I do like the look of this pattern, so I’ve bought it to make a version at some point. Xx

I love your SOI jacket ❤ so beautiful 😍😍😊

Mas essa vó ficaria bem de bikini

Omg, I’m on the Perimenopause boat and this is a ride I want off of. I’m considering HRT as well.

I had this same thought with this dress---I would like a built in bra too!!

Hi Anita, I too have been suffering anxiety, lack of sleep, brain fog etc too and just started HRT. I’m hoping it kicks in soon! A lot of my friends think it’s wonderful and I follow the menopause doctor on Instagram who is fantastic. I hope it helps you. Look forward to seeing your Darla dress xxx

Hi Anita, I love you video as I am currently making up the Emma dress and having similar issues to yourself, how did you remove the chunk from the neckline? Is there a tutorial you used? My neckline is far too wide and gapy and hence causing bagging around my armholes too

Hi Anita, recently I've felt like you & now wondering if hrt is the way to go although not sure they'll perscibe for young at heart 69yr old.xx

Oh Anita, hearing you talk about what you’re experiencing in your body and emotionally brought a lump to my throat and made me want to send a big hug through the screen. I’ve been there with anxiety and so forth, amongst other horrid symptoms, I’m most embarrassed at the sudden overwhelming rage that came upon me at times - it’s scary isn’t it! Don’t want to burden you with my story, so to cut a very long story short, I had BRCA2 breast and ovarian cancer which ended up with a double mastectomy and total hysterectomy and an early menopause with horrific symptoms - just as you’ve described. I couldn’t have HRT, so the only way was through. I’m so glad you’ve sought help from your GP though and I really hope your HRT provides you with some relief, once it thoroughly kicks in! You’ll need no reminder to keep up your yoga practice and meditation too - they are literally life savers during that time. Re your dress - the shell fabric is gorgeous. Please can I ask if you bought it online? It’s going to look gorgeous. I found a You Tube video of a dress that looks very similar at the back - the lady inserted bra cups into the dress - might be worth a look if you haven’t seen it already ua-cam.com/video/Fhc28PAUGyI/v-deo.htmlsi=CfN0cFz2vk_5SLF7. Take care lovely and we’ll look forward to seeing your dress when your ready.

You could sew (power mesh) as a self lined bodice. 🥰 💖

Do take care of yourself. Glad you’ve reached out for help.

I feel your pain with the rubbish instructions for the Amelia jacket. They could definitely be done better. I had a few struggles with mine too and the whole zip teeth pulling is a bit of a nightmare isn’t it. Your robe looks lovely!! Xx

Beautiful makes, as always!

Always good to see you 💕 Lovely makes! I love your double gauze robe and it looks so beautiful on you! 👗🪡🧵🥰

Hallo love your choice's pattern but wat Is the name pattern and fabric of your red with flores please ? Thanks is gorgeous❤ Greats from Belguim

Beautiful makes. 💖 I love the jacket on you.

I like 1950s full circle ⭕️ skirt dress 👗 well 1940s too swing dancing and others for summer festivals, Pinup competitions! Yet id like to make my own add details. Do you have any videos on these?

Great to show the ones you made that didnt work after washing or the waistband small, because im learning.

Really nice video! Brilliant idea, thanks for sharing 👗🪡🧵🥰

Lovely vlog thankyou😊

This is brilliant Anita, thank you so much for taking the time to show us how to make your lovely jewellery rollI. Your instructions are really clear - you’re a very good instructor - I hope you’ll do more. I’ll definitely be making some of your jewellery rolls. I’ve bookmarked your tutorial for the selfless sewing challenge which is probably going to come up again later this year - it’ll make a terrific gift. Sending you love and hugs. Happy sewing 🧵 😊 🧵 xxx

Lovely to see you back Anita!! You’ve been making some great makes. Such a shame you’ve got hungry bum with the jumpsuit, but I hope you’ll wear it as you’ve made it beautifully. Love your sparkly top, it’s a pattern I’d like to try out too. I hear you with the cost of jersey, I think that’s mainly why I’m lacking that in my stash! Thanks for mentioning me and I’m glad you made some face wipes, they’re great aren’t they xx

So sorry about the loss of your dear friend♥️

Anita, so sorry to hear about your friend. I love the green jumpsuit. Could you unpick the back waist seam and add a wedge of fabric, maybe an inch or so. That might be just enough to make it more comfortable. Suzanne

Hi Anita. I hope things have worked out for you because I'm watching this in February of 2024.

The top looks beautiful on you.❤❤❤ I do not go out dancing. But I do like dancing around in my sewing room. As I'm cutting my fabrics. My husband looks at me and laughs! I don't think I dance as well as I think I do.😅😅😅

Love your makes

Hello lovely, so good to have you back! Life can sometimes be just crazy can’t it? I love all your makes, the black top is beautiful and I should make something like that for summer 🤩 the jumpsuit is a masterpiece with the delicate cuffs and I think it fits you wonderfully!! Hope you get some more time and energy for sewing and we will see you soon again 💕💕💕

So glad you are back. Sorry for your loss. Your jumpsuit is amazing you look fabulous in it❤

Hi Anita, no time to watch full video yet, love the jumpsuit. I just want to say great to see you back and wish you well for a full recovery x Debbie x x

Anita your jumpsuit is beautiful! What a lovely color too! I love the jewelry organizer. Very clever!

What a treat to see you back Anita! I'm so sorry you've been having such a rotten time - in particular the passing of your friend - what a horrible shock that must have been. I'm glad you didn't feel compelled to make vlogs whilst you were going through all of that, you're human, no apology needed for your absence whatsoever. I hope you find peace in your yoga practice, it's an absolute blessing at times like that, isn't it. You've been busy behind the scenes haven't you - loving all the makes - the garments and the accessories too. I particularly love your jumpsuit - you look amazing in it and that green satin looks so luxurious. I didn't think the crotch looked too 'bum hungry' at all - but you need to feel comfortable in it. Those cuffs are amazing! Satin is so slippery and difficult to sew, but you've made a fabulous job of it. Ahhh ... you made me smile when you said you'd made a top to go to a rave in. Those were the days - my other half and I used to go to raves 25 years ago - back in the day of Carl Cox and Paul Okenfold (I think they're both still DJing.. not sure!?). I still dance, but these days it's much more sedate - just jive and west coast swing ... haha! Anyway your black top is gorgeous and I love the little ties on it. I have a few Tiana's Closet patterns downloaded - you've reminded me to give them a go. The colour of that Ariana top is truly your colour - it looks so lovely on you! I know what you mean about the glitter shedding though - I don't mind it too much, at least not until it ends up in my eyes - which irritates like mad. Yes please - if you ever find the time to do a little tutorial on your jewellery roll that would be fabulous - it's so pretty and like you say - it would make a terrific gift. It's made my day seeing you on UA-cam today - 'll look forward to your next one - whenever that may be. Take good care, sending lots of love. Happy Sewing :)
