All of your makes have turned out gorgeous. It’s hard to choose a favourite, so I won’t! I’d like all of them in my wardrobe.
Ah thank you so much I'm glad you like them all it was a fun month for makes :) Thank you for watching xx
I like that you use the same pattern several times. You may have new tips each time you make them. Using a pattern more than once proves it’s a winner!
Yes that's very true I just don't want to bore people haha! The ones I share have definitely been used time and again. Thank you for watching xx
You’ve made some beautiful garments, it’s taken me a long time to find so many likeminded people who share all things hand made. I love knitting and have recently returned to dressmaking and am totally hooked again. Thanks for sharing your makes, I thoroughly enjoy watching and getting to share your makes and chat, thank you x
Thank you so much for watching, I'm pleased to hear that you are enjoying my videos. Yes it's great to find likeminded people with knitting and sewing isn't it x
I love the makes Sally you always pick such beautiful fabrics I love the ditsy floral prints and the pink cardigan is fab very clever. X
Thank you so much, yes I certainly gravitate towards florals don't I but I think I do need some plains in my wardrobe too so I'm trying to incorporate them into my plans :) x
Such beautiful makes Sally! You always choose lovely fabrics that really suit you❤️ Your finished cardigan is amazing and I’m sure you will get lots of compliments when you wear it. I just love the lace design!
Thank you so much I’m pleased you think so! We’ve had such warm weather lately I haven’t needed a cardigan but I’m looking forward to wearing it soon 😊
Your June makes are lovely, love your myositis dress. Your cardigan is absolutely beautiful! I have a peacock eyes cardigan that I've been knitting since about 2013!! I'd love to get it finished but if I'm honest I'm doubting I ever will. It's knitted on quite fine wool so it takes ages to grow! Xx
Ah maybe one day??? Thanks so much for watching, I'm glad you like them xx
Lovely makes. I just love the cardigan
Thank you so much 😊 xx
Your cardigan, Sally, is beautiful and suits you so well. I’m so impressed! Also love the other garments particularly the jumpsuit mash-up. Diana
Thank you very much I’m glad you like them I’m so pleased with the cardigan x
It’s a very pretty cardigan,will go with your Myosotis dress which is also lovely.
Thank you so much 😊 xx
That cardigan is stunning!
Thanks so much 😊💗
The sweater is beautiful.
Thank you so much xx
Beautiful makes! Your choices are lovely! The sweater is fabulous! Thank you for sharing!🌺
Thank you to much I’m glad you like them and thank you for watching xxx
You've made such a lot of things! I think you've got the Myosotis dress perfectly balanced with the flounced sleeve and the skirt length. It's so pretty. Your Whitmoor cardigan is beautiful, I think the sleeves could be tight because of the yarn you used. The cardigan was designed for yarns with a high percentage of wool and alpaca, which have stretch and 'bounce' which would make the sleeves stretch more. Yarns made with a plant fibre can give you drape, but not the stretch and recovery that animal fibres do. If you plan to use plant fibres to knit the cardigan again, all you need to do is pick up some extra stitches at the underarm and you'll be good to go!
Thank you so much for explaining that it makes a lot of sense put like that! I’m glad you like the Myosotis and my cardigan and thank you for watching 😊 xx
Morning Sally, you can never over share the Davenport dress, it my all time favourite pattern. Lovely makes again this month, I've had the same issues with feeling pregnant in some of my makes, and have added waist ties to cinch them in a touch. xx
Morning! Thank you for watching I’m glad you’re not bored of the Davenport haha! Yes I think a lot of people feel that particularly with the Indigo it’s good to feel comfortable in this dress I’m glad I changed it. Have a great day x
Stitch markers are a total game changer. Have you ever tried a three needle bind off ? It’s quite cool.
Oh no I haven't I'll have to look that up thank you x
I love your aesthetics! The colours, the patterns and material of the fabrics, it suits you so well. And your photographie! You have nailed it with the light settings of your videos, so so beautiful. 👏👏👏 If I could wish I would love a video of behind the scenes, what camera you use and how you get this lovely lighting. Appart from that your sewing is gorgeous!
For the moment I’m involved in a summer exhibition where I show my arty cushions and I have just finished two cushions made to order in my special ”patchwork” style.
Hi Eva thanks so much I’m really pleased you like it all 😊 I’ll have a think about the behind the scenes, I do list some of my equipment in the video description if that’s helpful? Good luck with your exhibition your cushions sound beautiful 😍
I agree with some of the other responders that you re-use patterns I'm several ways; loved the Lyra/Saffire jumpsuit ❤️
Sorry, I forgot to thank you for the knitting/crochet content xx
Thank you I’m glad you think so 😊 You’re very welcome I love including those other crafts as well as sewing x
I loved your makes.I don't mind you using a repeat of the same patterns as it shows how to get value from your patterns.You don't make them in the same fabric so it's interesting to see the same pattern in different fabric.Indie patterns are expensive and it's good to see how to pattern hack .
Thank you, I'm glad you think so. Yes they are expensive aren't they and it's good to use and re-use them. Thank you for watching :) x
Sally, You have done such a nice job with your makes. Everything looks so nice on you. I absolutely love the sweater. Well done!
Suzanne
Ah thank you so much I’m so pleased I got the cardigan finished in time for summertime xx
your myosotis is so pretty i am having to fight hard to resist making more as they are taking over my wardrobe. for winter i modified the pattern to remove the sleeves and line the bodice so i could make a few in a heavier fabric to wear over sweaters.
Oh that sounds like a lovely idea I am amazed at all of the different ways we can change and amend patterns, there's always something new. I can also see how this pattern could be addictive haha x
I don't knit and seeing your beautiful cardigan translates to magic for me. Amazing
Aw thank you I can highly recommend knitting I find it so relaxing! Thank you for watching xxx
I love the cardigans you knit! They have a Sezane vibe. I tried to make a Rosa cardigan and I could not follow the instructions for love nor money. I might need to go to a knitting class. Sewing instructions are so clear in comparison!!
Ah thank you I love Sezane so that’s a huge compliment 😊 Who is the Rosa cardigan by? I’m not sure I’ve heard of it x
Check your gauge on the arms of the sweater. It may be different than the body depending on what type of needles you used for it. You did a lovely job
Thank you I hadn’t thought about that! I think they’ll stretch a bit with wear too 😊 x
Such beautiful makes. You’ve definitely inspired me to try a lace knitting pattern at some point, yours is just so pretty!
I’m pleased, it’s really not as difficult as you might think, I find it strangely therapeutic haha! Thank you for watching xx
Congratulations Sally on absolutely fabulous makes! I've knitted for years and I've never knitted in the round but your cardigan is stunning. The colour sets off the pattern beautifully. I may have to try that method myself. Love everything ❤
Thank you so much I’m glad you like them! My mum said the same about knitting for years and then these new methods come up. It’s taken me a while to give it a try but it’s great if you really dislike seaming. Thank you for watching xx
Hello Sally, beautiful makes as always. I have purchased the Whitmoor Cardigan pattern and the same make of yarn all ready to go, my shade is coral. Thank you for the lifeline info, i had never heard of that, great. Thank you.
Yay!! Coral sounds lovely I really enjoyed knitting with this yarn I hope you enjoy making the cardigan xx
Lovely makes Sally
You will have to knit that cardigan in lots of colours it’s beautiful
Get some pearls to go with
I love that look
Have a good week xx❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much! I’d really love a fluffy grey one planning my autumn makes already haha. Thanks for watching xxx
That would be lovely
Look forward to seeing your next video xx❤️❤️❤️❤️
Oh well done Sally. Love your style and its so modest. Do you attend the Kings Arms in Bedford?
Thank you so much! Oh, no I don't do you go there?
No we are in a similar sort of church in Milton Keynes but know people who go there
Georgeous sweater!! Is this the same pattern as your blue one with silver buttons? Have you made socks?
Thank you! No it’s not it’s a different one by Tailoress Studios. I’ve never knitted socks I’m not sure they would be my thing to be honest 🤷🏼♀️ x
About how much fabric did your Davenport top take? Would it work with double gauze? I have some lovely double gauze that I want to make a top with and I really like yours.
I had a metre and a half and got it out of that easily. I think it would work in double gauze, you’d get more structure to the sleeves using it. I’m not the biggest fan of sewing with gauze though so might not be the best person to advise haha x
Do you know were i can find /buy the mysostis Pattern ? Please
Hello! It’s all linked in the video description 😊
