I’m glad you hopped in to update us on Mariann’s skirt. I’m apparently too invested because when you were wrapping up the makes portion of the video I was thinking, “but what about the skirt?!” 😂
All of your makes are beautiful and I’m looking forward to June’s. The bag looks like a perfect weekend bag!
🤣 I considered just forgetting about the skirt, but then I thought I’d promised a photo so had to jump back on and talk about it. I’m so excited about that bag!
Beautiful makes once again, Izzy. My favourites have to be the Avenir, the matching set and of course, Marianne's gorgeous skirt. I am in absolute awe of how much you achieve in a month and still have time to work. I am retired so have most days to myself but I only managed two makes in May. Can't wait to see what you make with your BTPD fabric.🤩
Thank you so much! My secret is to make sure I've got a list of plans so I don't spend any of my free time wondering what to make next. 😂
Your new Aeroplane bag will be so pretty! I'd prefer the white background for the body but the darker will better hide a little smudge once in a while. - Kelly
I agree, I would prefer the white fabric as the body of the bag, but it might be more practical to use the dark teal fabric instead... 🤔
Beautiful makes! Love Marianne's skirt. The orange/purple set is my favorite. The bag is beautiful. I'm guessing a confident beginner might not be able to do this bag. 😄
Thank you! I think a confident beginner could definitely make the bag. Her instructions are really clear and she usually has videos to accompany her patterns (although I'm not 100% sure there is one for this particular bag).
I have to say your cord set is my favorite. I think it looks beautiful and is practical which makes it a winner.
Thank you so much Christine! I agree - I think the set is going to be in heavy rotation this summer.
That bag is going to be incredible in that fabric ! No wonder you’re excited!!
Isn’t it gorgeous!? I cannot wait to get started with it!
Good job getting that photo in, Marianne!! The skirt looks awesome! Izzy, so many plans! I hope you get to make a swimsuit, they are such a satisfying make, probably because it actually ends up fitting🤣 Have a great rest of your week! 🥰🥰
Thank you Mary! I have very specific tastes and needs for my bathing suit so fingers crossed I can make it happen 🤣
Hi Izzy. Your May Makes are beautiful!!! Soooo many makes. I'm really impressed. My sewjo has temporarily left town but I know it will be back💕
Thank you so much Jane! I love your attitude toward your disappearing sewjo. So many feel guilty or stressed when they don’t feel like sewing. Like you said, it’ll be back!
The 2 jump suits look fabulous, but I know I don't have the fortitude so far to deal with one 😁 I make the two pieces that are a set... maybe one day . LOVE the matchy set, and the skirt for your daughter. I made my first lounge set this year, and at first hated it, till I realized I wore it every week, and couldn't wait to put it on after a tiring day 😂 Your lavender one is gorgeous.
Thank you so much! I think I'm done with jumpsuits for a while now. The lounge set is amazingly comfy and I'm so happy with it. And I've already gotten a couple of requests from family members who would love a set too.
You have a fab eye for fabric and pattern pairing, Izzy! Gorgeous makes, and I loved seeing Marianne’s skirt! Looking forward to June’s makes! 💗
Wow! You have been very busy this month! Wonderful additions for both you and your daughter! That bag is so exciting! Those colors are gorgeous! You will get so much use out it with the modifications you plan to make. My think pink box shipped on the 28th and I got it the 3rd in Kansas, USA, so I can’t complain about that! Love the theme this month.
Thank you Angie! I love the theme this month as well. I can’t wait to finally get to work on that fabric.
looks like you had a great month! your final jumpsuit turned out lovely.
Thank you!!
Oooo that faux leather colour 😍💙 love love love that! That bag looks a brilliant size. Marianne's skirt turned out to be gorgeous with that border print.
I put you off the Raph Polo top didn't I 😂, it has disappeared from your plans 😂😂. It's a great pattern....honest! I wore my jumpsuit a couple of times on holiday and thought of you every time I visited the bathroom 😩. That sounds weird 🤣.
Great plans and love everything you made in May of course xxx
Oh my goodness Carole - you had me laughing with your comment! 🤣 You didn’t put me off the Raph but the only fabric I have in my stash that would be appropriate for the new Love Notions pattern is the green fabric I had set aside for the Raph. I didn’t anyone would notice how it suddenly disappeared from my list. 🤣 xx 💞
Izzy your green jumpsuit ensemble looked awesome! 😀👍🩷 . Glad you inserted the picture of Marianne s skirt! Beautiful and i like her next choice. I need a new swimsuit myself. Check list: always new no. 9 ball point needle and sew all seams 2x , 🤔... Tyfs 💞
Thanks so much! I’m hearing that Love Notions is going to release their new bathing suit pattern this month! I might give that one a try if it’s a style I like.
My favorite May make is definitely the Avenir jumpsuit, it’s absolutely gorgeous 🙌🏻🙌🏻. I am looking forward to seeing your bag, the faux leather and the fabric combination are just perfect 🤩 🤩🤩. My box arrive today, but I haven’t opened it yet 😬😬🤣🤣.
Thank you! I'm so excited about making that bag! You need to open your box! 🤣
@@dizzyquiltsandsews I did, and I love it. Gorgeous fabric 🤩🤩
I love the style f your bag and the fabrics you’ve got to make it work n. I Would use the darker fabric for the outside as I like wldnt show marks so asily.
Good point!! Thank you!
So, I can't pick a favorite because they are all great, and the skirt for Marianne is fabulous - definitely a case where a fantastic fabric does the work! (well, after you do the work, that is 😄). I am looking forward to seeing what's next - you are, too, right 😁?!? As for me, didn't get any garments made in May but I wore a dress I made two years ago to my high school reunion last night which was very satisfying 😊.
I totally agree - the fabric for Marianne’s skirt is amazing! I’m a little bit jealous she gets to wear it 🤣
Oh, well - she's like family...😁!@@dizzyquiltsandsews
"Yes, Mom." 🤣
I know! She loves to do that! 🤣
On Monday last week I got the email that my Think Pink parcel was shipped. On Wednesday it said it was in my country. On Friday it said it was being processed in my local post office. Since I was going to town anyway, and I knew I wouldn't get the parcel delivered until Monday, I thought I'd ask at the post office if I could just take the parcel home instead of waiting for it to be delivered. I was so excited because the first UA-cam unboxings were just showing up in my feed that day. For once, I would be the same as everyone else. It wasn't to be. My address is Wallacetown, and for some reason, they didn't look at the postal code and sent it to Wallaceburg, which is an hour away from me. Needless to say, I had to wait until Tuesday this week to get it. I thought that was a ridiculous error on behalf of Canada Post, since I have had letters returned to me for having forgotten to put on the postal code, to towns that there are no others that could ever be mixed up with them in Ontario, but they didn't even look at the postal code on my parcel, which was correct. Oh well. I absolutely love my box anyway, and since I get the largest size fabric, and there is a bit extra in the box too this month on top of that, I can squeeze a short sleeve shirt out for my husband as well as something nice for me. I got the midnight stroll colourway, which is perfect for my husband, and the second best colourway for me. So I'm happy.
I enjoyed watching your makes in the month of May. 😊
That is so adorable your editor put in the "yes, mom" comment to let you know she saw the skirt.
How did you do your colors?
It’s so frustrating when the postal service fails you like that!! It happened to one of my boxes earlier this year - it bounced around Ontario for days!!
Hi Zelda! I know - my daughter loves to leave little messages like that 🤣 I got my colours done through the Color Guru a couple of years ago now. Tomkat Stitchery has a code I think. 😉
@@dizzyquiltsandsews cool
It can be frustrating at times. Glad you finally got it.
Izzy, funny you mention purple I too am crazy about purple right now not sure why? 😅
I’ve always loved purple and used to have a ton of purple RTW clothes! I’m so happy I get to sew some now!
Purple suit you so well
Thank you! It really is one of my favourite colours.
Not only does one have to get half naked to go to the restroom, what does one do with all the fabric down by your feet? The thought of my clothing laying on the public restroom floor, stops me from making any kind of jumpsuit.
It's definitely a feat to have all that fabric gathered around your knees so that none of it is either on the floor or in the toilet 🤣
Love your makes and plans. Had you thought about dyeing your linen for the Bennet pants?
I hadn’t thought of it, but it’s a really good idea! I wonder if it would be best to dye the fabric before I sew them up or if I could dye the pants once finished (if they fit and I like them) 🤔 I’m going to look into this. Thank you!!
@@dizzyquiltsandsews I remember reading that if you think you may want to dye a garment once made up to be sure to remember that the thread is cotton otherwise it won’t die as well. Mind you on the pants May look quite cool with a contrasting thread.
Oops, I ordered the Style arc Parker ponte pants pattern 🤭 (yours looked so nice 🥰)
LOL it’s a good pattern and the fabric can completely change the look of them. I have an office pair made from ponte and now a lounge wear one in a French Terry.
Love all your makes. I particularly love the jump suit and matchy set . I’m going to have to try the matchy set as I have some Rayon Challis from Minerva. Your plans are great and sooo ambitious. I do have a question which French Terry did you use from Minerva? Did you like it? I saw they had some Tubular ribbing that comes in many colors did you use that? I wonder since it’s also core range that the colors would match
Thank you! The French Terry is part of their Core Range. www.minerva.com/mp/1196179/minerva-core-range-medium-loop-back-french-terry-stretch-knit-fabric I did not get ribbing from Minerva. I used a ribbing I got at Core Fabrics a long time ago.
Beautiful makes and great plans. I look forward to seeing your new bag. Is faux leather and vinyl the same thing?
Thank you Cynthia! Yes, faux leather and vinyl are basically the same thing.
Love the colors you chose for your bag. I would love to make one. Is it a PDF pattern or paper pattern.
Thank you! I have the PDF but from memory, there are very few pieces to print.
where did you get the material for the Roseclaire blouse you're wearing? It's beautiful. Loved all the makes for May and can't wait to see the bag in June, plus the mystery box make (I think it's Pink Box, but not sure).
Hi Diane! The fabric for the Roseclair blouse was a Think Pink subscription box (December I think). It really is pretty isn’t it?
