Thank you, that is such a compliment! I did have my colors done a couple years ago, so now I am all about sticking to that palette…can be limiting, but also helps not buy fabrics I wouldn’t end up wearing 😂
I bet you could get away with cutting the Peppermint Wrap Top on the crossgrain in that amazing chambray if it came down to making it work. I hope you make that, it's an gorgeous combo.
You managed to share some different garment patterns and I really like your fabric and pattern matches. Look forward to seeing your reveal. Almost finished my make. I had to do some fun mixing to get it out of some linen remnants. I love how this challenge pushes you to look at fabrics in a new light.
Loving all of the colors of your fabrics, Katie! I don't have one that I'd like you to make, but I wouldn't mind spending a day alone with your fabric stash! 😂 Curious to see what you pick!
Hi internet lady - I've missed you. I intend to participate and am picking up my printed free pattern this morning. (a skirt!) Looking forward to seeing your makes on the hashtag, and it'll be nice to see WIPs too x Love from New Zealand x
Thank you for your video! I am really considering making the Peppermint x In the Folds Wrap Top in a thinner Cotton, especially since it calls for French seams. I prefer hand sewing anyway and French seams make a Cotton item look a lot better anyway.
I love the take you have on this, picking fabrics and matching the patterns to the fabric. Love that boiler suit and I think it would be perfect in that fabric
That linen looks lovely for those pants, it would totally work with the grayish wrap top! I found a piece I like from the fabric-store website, I didn’t know they had free patterns. Thanks for sharing!
Hi, Great idea to have complete set of garments to mix and match :) I made peppermint wrap top with 44" wide cloth. Wrap ties were cut separately and joined using French seam. This is very easy to sew also :) I absolutely love this wrap top :)
@@WanderingBobbin ..no worries, just didn't want anyone getting frustrated. I had communicated w/Donna and she didn't mention anyone else having the issue, so I think it's all good!
I love flat felled seams😊 I love French Seams too. I think this is the first video I’ve watched about the challenge that covered the requirements for the challenge as well as you did. You gave a little attention to each of the 4 instead of flying through them. Speaking of wrapped patterns, do you feel you get enough wrap in the garment that when you sit, the top or dress doesn’t separate to a point of being concerned of showing more that you want? I want to make a wrap dress, but I’m concerned about when I sit the dress is going to split way up my leg. I’m over 60 and really don’t want to flash anyone! 😳 Thanks, Cheryl
Flashing people is definitely not the way to go at any age 😂 I actually haven't made a wrap dress before, only tops, but in ready to wear, yeah, I have had that where it is not wrapped enough. I just try to make it work and add a little snap on wrap tops so it doesn't fall open or for a dress, wear a slip. Sometimes I feel like the ties aren't long enough too, but I guess that doesn't really affect the amount of wrap. I don't really know how to alter a pattern for that, but it would definitely be a useful thing to learn...eventually...

Agreed! Let's all give a bit to show our appreciation for Peppermint!
You have such a knack for picking fabric colors that suit your coloring so well! I'm looking forward to seeing which item you make!
Thank you, that is such a compliment! I did have my colors done a couple years ago, so now I am all about sticking to that palette…can be limiting, but also helps not buy fabrics I wouldn’t end up wearing 😂
I'd love to see you make the red jumpsuit please. What a wonderful colour!
It is gorgeous! I’m kind of scared to cut into it to be perfectly honest 🙈
I bet you could get away with cutting the Peppermint Wrap Top on the crossgrain in that amazing chambray if it came down to making it work. I hope you make that, it's an gorgeous combo.
That's a great idea! I have the pattern all printed so I am hoping to make it, if not for this challenge, then sometime soon!

Yes, it’s really the best challenge for some creativity! Can’t wait to see everyone’s makes!

Aw thank you! I think this video might also serve as the best of the best of my fabric stash…the rest isn’t as nice 😂
Lots of new to me patterns. Good choices.
Yay! So glad you've discovered some new patterns!
I have only done one item with flat felled seams but I loved it as well!
Glad to hear I’m not the only one who enjoys them! 😅

Hi Heather! Nice to see you 😊 Glad to hear you will be participating! Looking forward to seeing your make as well! I am hoping to make a wip vlog 🤞🤞🤞
The Paola jacket is calling me. I really like the fabric you choose for the Paola jacket I’m sure is gonna turn out great.
That pattern has been calling to me too for months now! Every version I’ve seen has come out so good!!
Great fabrics. I like the pant pattern!
Thanks, April! 💕

That sounds wonderful! 👍😍
Love that Paola Workwear Jacket! And yes, I think you have inspired me to participate in the challenge!
Yay!! Lmk what you plan on making for it! 🧵🪡🧵🪡
@@WanderingBobbin ok, I'm all in! I'm making the wide leg pants from peppermint mag. I'll post a video of my progress on my channel!
I love the take you have on this, picking fabrics and matching the patterns to the fabric. Love that boiler suit and I think it would be perfect in that fabric
Thank you! I wasn’t sure if the fabric was too light!
I love making flat felled seams too! There is something so satisfying about it haha
Haha, glad I am not the only one! 😊 Thought I'd probably be alone in like them! 😂
That linen looks lovely for those pants, it would totally work with the grayish wrap top! I found a piece I like from the fabric-store website, I didn’t know they had free patterns. Thanks for sharing!
Yay, so happy you found something you like! They have great patterns. Can't believe they are free too 🙌
ty for sharing this. There's a dress I saw that I'd love to make myself given the price, the sleeves are adorable
That's wonderful! Thank you for watching! 😊
Loved that colour of that linen for the trousers Katie, some lovely pattern choices too, thanks for sharing your inspiration for the challenge 🤗
Thank you, Sam! This was a fun video to make, so happy to be participating this year! 😊 xx

Oh that is so good to know that about the pattern! Thank you!
Lovely options 😍. Can’t wait to see what you make 😊
Thank you, Ruan! I can't wait to see what I am going to make too, so undecided 😂
I love the wrap one! And I love all your mauve colors!
Wraps are the best! Thanks, Delilah! 💕
Love your ideas and I remember when you wanted to make the shacket, and I think you should go for it!
I think I might choose that one!!
Just a quick note- the link you have for the Florence Blouse should be to the Florence Boxy Tee so that the code will apply (-;=
Oh no! Thank you so much for pointing that out. I fixed the link now. I hope I didn't confuse too many people 🤦♀️

I really liked your pattern/fabric pairings! Is the top that you are wearing RTW or me-made? It's wonderful, looks a bit like the Toaster sweater!
It is the Toaster sweater in a quilted stretch knit from Minerva!! It's one of my favs!
