- Hello hello! After taking a mini break, I am back with yet another podcast! I've been able to finish a few different projects all in time to show them off to you all ☺️ I also have been bit by the sewing bug and walk you through different garments I want to make as well as all of the different fabric I have recently purchased. If you stick to the end, you will find out what very large tool I acquired!

Your fabrics are so beautiful and summery! Can’t wait to see what you make!
So far I made a button up from the floral embroidered fabric and I’m loving it 😍
Your spinning is absolutely beautiful! Love the colours!
Thank you so much! 😃
Love your channel 😌a great combo of knitting and sewing❤️❤️❤️
Thank you! 🥰
Your dress is wonderful!!
Thank you so much ☺️
Your dress turned out great! And I LOVE your handspun yarn. I have never been happy with how it turns out knitted, so I give it to a friend to weave with!
That’s a great way to use it up as well I would imagine!
Love your dress!
Thank you!!
Your dress is gorgeous - as all your sewing and knitting project are! I love the cables on your shawl - so pretty!
Thank you so much!
Can’t wait to see your future sewing makes. I actually stumbled across that same site a couple weeks ago but lost that tab when my computer crashed so thanks for sharing 😊. Love your sundress, I tried convincing my teenagers to let me make them that pattern but they didn’t think it was their style :(
Aww darn! Maybe you’ll have to make one for yourself 😉
Just found your channel so in love with everything your making! Also love your nail polish! What is it? So glad to have come across your page can’t wait to see what else you post
Aww thank you so much!! 😃 my nail polish is from cirque colors and it’s their jelly base I believe. I’ve been in love with this company lately and want all their nail polish 😍 thank you for watching!
Your Matilda Dress is stunning!
Oh thank you!
That striped dress is so cute! I just love it. I'm on a big gingham and seersucker kick right now -- feels so summery.
Yes seersucker is so nice too! 😍
I'm in love with your shawl 🥰 For your sweater I had the exact same problem when I was knitting flat on a sweater, and than I realised it wasn't my tension but the way I was purling, now that I fixed that everything is perfect 😅
I’m glad to hear it worked out for you!! I’m looking forward to trying the technique ☺️
LOVE my sweater you are making!
Your dress is adorable!
I’m hoping to have it for you this weekend!!
Wonderful podcast 💃💥🧶❣️just love this dress on you and all the fabrics you’ve purchased at such good prices! I’m not a sewer but will hopefully be one day so keep inspiring and encouraging us all please!! Great also to hear about your super outdoors life and everything that brings with it so thank you 🙏💥💃❣️🙏🙏🙏
Oooh you should definitely try sewing out! It’s so fun 🤩 and thank you!!
Gah! Such beautiful makes! You need to come mountain biking in Steamboat with meeeeee😊
Omg that would be awesomeee. I remember seeing the mtn bikers out there last fall and it looked so fun!
Loved seeing all of your sewing projects and plans! And can’t wait to see your handspun night shift shawl! Congrats on your new loom 💕
Thank you!! I’m so excited to learn more about it ☺️
When knitting stockinette in the flat I also struggle with tension (beeing a tight knitter) when doing the purls. A colleague of me suggested using a thinner needle to only do the purls and this works quite well for me. Now there i no difference noticeable. Hope that helps. 😊
I think that’s exactly what I was trying to describe ☺️ so if you keep the smaller needle on the left side, when you to your work that is the one that you’re purling with. I’m excited to give it a try!!
If someone asked me to knit them a sweater, I'd be like..." uh not happening. Dream smaller". Big projects like that make my hands hurt. But you go girl! Your makes are always so beautiful! Love that shawl!
Haha I hear ya! But I will say my aunt is worth it ☺️
i'm so glad you enjoy the matilda dress 💖💖💖
It's so good!
Hi new subscriber, Im Bondi Crafter on UA-cam. I love the Sotabosc Shawl. Happy Summer there in the Nth hemisphere
Oh awesome!! Hello 👋
Beautiful projects and I adore your dress and shawl together! So pretty ❤❤
Thank yoooou 🥰 and thanks for the lil push for me to get this video out haha
Oh my goodness, I went to the HCLS and this is the first time ever I am the first to put a book on hold! The Zero Waste Pattern book had already been ordered by someone and no one else has it on hold! So excited to give it a try. Because I may have already purchased a huge $10 bag of fabric from the Textile Center Garage Sale last week. (I bought three sets of linen fabric, a rayon knit, a cotton knit, and 4 sets of wool).
Omg I’ve never heard of the textile center garage sale and now i need to go!!
