I cant wait to see all your plans sewn up Sally. I am a great fan of Atelier Brunette for making something a bit special. You always inspire me.
Thank you ☺️ Yes me too you can’t beat their fabric bases and designs I don’t think xx
Beautiful fabrics and plans!
I love the ditsy print for the 1940s tea dress. That will be beautiful. Thanks for showing us all your lovely fabrics.
Thank you for watching xx
Loved seeing all your fabrics! I’m shopping my stash this summer (trying to!) and so it was very fun to love vicariously through you 😂❤️
It’s been nice to replenish my stash after doing the same. It’s so satisfying sewing up your stash - good luck! Xx
Oh my goodness such beautiful fabrics and plans! Looking forward to seeing them made up - have fun and no pressure ❤ xx
Thank you so much xx
A beautiful choice of fabrics Sally, I also have a stash I need to work through, all shades of blues and whites, plains and stripes, some lovely ideas for projects given 🧵✂️💕
That sounds like a lovely coordinated stash 😊
Beautiful fabrics and love the pattern choices!❤
Thanks for watching xx
I absolutely love the Atelier Brunette Double Gauze fabric its so lovely cant wait to see that made up xx
It’s beautiful 😍
Your fabrics are all lovely Sally. The vlog you did on using up your stash has inspired me to do the same. I will need to go section by section as my stash is not as contained as yours was!
Have fun sewing through it - I'm glad to have inspired you xx
Beautiful fabrics! For the jumpsuit, I would suggest using interfacing for zipper, patch pockets, and other details. I really struggle with stretch woven fabrics when it comes to topstitching and zippers because it can stretch as you sew. Interfacing and using a glue stick instead of pins help a lot. Maybe your fabric will be well behaved :)
Thank you for the tip! x
Love the whole collection of fabric especially the stripe. I think the Montana dress is better in a plain fabric. The one that you have chosen would be super for a jump suit or a co-ord like you made earlier. Happy sewing. Enjoy!
Thanks for the suggestion :) xx
Love the double gauze. I think you’re right, it’s less harsh than black
I agree it’s a lovely shade x
Fabulous fabric haul Sally with fantastic plans. Really looking forward to seeing your makes. Thank you.
Thanks so much for watching 😊
Love a fabric haul. I’m trying to work through my stash and went to get interfacing … walked out with more fabric. 🤦♀🫣😂 Such is the life of a sewing fanatic. 😬 Beautiful choices you made. ❤🥰👍
Haha I think we've all done that before x
All of the fabrics were great, but that last one was gorgeous!
Thank you! Ah that one is lovely isn’t it xx
Love all the fabrics but I think the last atelier brunette fabric was my favourite. I finally got to wear my co-ord set last week in that lovely sunny weather, you inspired me to make it and reminded me that I had Ashton top pattern, which is my new favourite top pattern, I think I will be making more of them, I have the sleeve extension pack as well so it will take me into the autumn. I hope you like your smith jacket as much as I love mine, also inspired by you. It’s a great pattern to sew -once I got my head round the hidden button placket. Thank you again for another great episode. ❤
Im glad you've been enjoying your co-ord set it's been nice to have some sunny weather to wear such things. I hope I can manage the jacket ok haha x
@@SecretLifeOfASeamstress you will smash out of the park!
I wanted to add... well done finishing sewing through your stash! We get tempted to go on to new things, but it is so good to use what we already have, and learn before we move on. I am currently (slowly) getting through my stash and forcing myself to think about why those fabrics sat there for so long, why did I buy them to begin with, how can I get them out of the bin and into my wardrobe. I like how use made the Montana dress from stash fabric, liked the pattern, and now are ready to make it in another fabric with the experience of having made it already. Same goes for patterns.
Thank you :) x
Me again. lol. I bought the same viscose floral in cream with pink and orange, and it is wonderful. I also bought it in the green/purple version. Sooo pretty. Great minds.
Ah yes good taste what are you going to make? x
I am watching while wearing my new Atelier Brunette Le Top in double gauze - exactly the same one that you showed. It is gorgeous. My only comment is that the fabric frays quite a lot and if you are doing french seams with a 1cm seam allowance it is quite fiddly. I hope that makes sense. Enjoy using it. I may have to buy the rusty colourway too.
Ah how lovely! Thank you for the tips, I love the look of the side buttons on the Le Top xx
I bought some double gauze and linen from Atelier Brunette sale. They always include a bag made from some of their scrap fabric. Really nice touch
Oh I’ve not had that before lucky you! X
Style Arc wrap dress will be great on you!
I hope so :) xx
Lovely fabric and adore Atelier Brunette fabrics so understand completely why you couldn’t leave it. I am making the Aston top at the moment and wondering if the neck will be too tight for me, might need to lower or increase at side shoulder. I agree it’s a great little top. Look forward to seeing your makes 🙂
Thank you for watching! Good luck with your Ashton Top x
Beautiful fabrics you have a great eye for colours and design. X
Thank you xx
Another great video, Sally.
Thanks so much xx
And the Darla jumpsuit for the flowered one 😊
I think that would be lovely x
That’s a haul and a half, Sally! Have you heard of Pattern Emporium patterns, they are Australian? I think their wide leg/palazzo pants would appeal to you and they have an easy fit blouse called the All In easy fit shirt that some of your lovely fabrics might do well with xx
Thank you! I have heard of them but haven't had a proper look at their fabrics yet - thank you I will have a look x
Beautiful fabrics 😍 looking forward to seeing them made up x
Thanks for watching xx
Hy Sally I’ve just seen a lady make a Montana dress in a viscose and it was lovely and made me want to try again ,I made mine ina dark grey linen and it feels like a granny in a tent I must say it was the start of my sewing journey I think I made the wrong size so don’t be tempted to make a boring colour ! But it is a comfy dress but a bit tight under the armhole lots of love xxx
Ah yes I can see that the dress could go one way or the other being so oversized haha! I hope you enjoy making it next time x
The seersucker would be perfect for a Saltwater Slip from Friday Pattern Co.
Ooh yes x
Loved your collection of fabrics all of them! I recently made the Montana in a Lisa Tailor viscose called Lemonade from Lamazi fabrics and it is beautiful.I feel sure that it is a design that you would like.I really like the Atelier Brunette fabrics and I look forward to seeing what you make with it.I need to take another look at my Coco pattern because it hadn’t occurred to me to make a top, your Breton style top looks so good. Happy sewing Sally.🌹🌹🌹
Oooh lovely I'll see if I can find that fabric thank you! The Coco is great as a top x
Excited for your new fabrics! I recently bought the TATB Coco pattern only to realize it's recommended fabric is midweight jersey and I had bought a modal. I was worried it wouldn't work as well so I'm relieved to see how happy you are with your more drapey viscose version. Looking forward to seeing your new black and white striped make!
I think the style of the Coco is supposed to be structured but it's essentially a T shirt so will work with any jersey but produce a different kind of fit and wear. If you like the drape like I do you'll be fine :) Xx
Love all your new fabrics, I’ve recently started the SOI tea dress, I was under pressure to get a dress made for a wedding with four weeks notice, I struggled to get the fit right so will be interested to see how you do this. Look forward to seeing all your new makes xx
I am a bit scared of the fitting to be honest haha x
@@SecretLifeOfASeamstress I’m sure you’ll be fine, your clothes always look so lovely
I really love all your videos
Thank you so much x
Lovely choices Sally! Perhaps a Westcliff dress would look nice in the fabric that you are unsure of because it has a bit of stretch. I’d love to see another Pippa dress or the Rita shirt dress in that gorgeous blue and yellow floral. Happy sewing! 💖
Thanks for the suggestion :) xx
We gutted and redid our guest bathroom in the spring and it was noisy and dusty.
Oh my goodness the dust! It's taken me all weekend to clean it up. So pleased it's done now though x
Hi Sally, I love watching your videos on a Sunday morning. How about the Montana dress in the blue and yellow no pockets etc to distract from the fabulous pattern would look amazing. I don’t really like gingham type fabrics for the Montana as the bodice seam always looks wonky and distracts your eye. The boxy jacket you showed would look great in the gingham with Jeans etc. how about the Matchy Matchy peplum split tank for another option for the Atelier fabric.
Thank you for the suggestions! I did realise after that I'd maybe have the same problem with the gingham that I had with the stripes for my Montana - silly me haha x
oh yes, the last fabric is so lovely, though to me it looked more like a very dark blue rather than charcoal
Oh that’s strange! Maybe the camera picked it up differently x
Lovely fabrics and great plans. Looking forward to seeing them sewn up. Thank you 😊
Thanks for watching xx
I enjoy putting in both kinds of zips but I hate buttonholes, even though my Bernina does a great job
The Montana dress is fine, you need to change the neckline like you did with the scoop neck tee and lengthen the bodice to bring it in with a tie. It will shape it better and show off the gingham without it being intense. I have considered the closet core pattern. I am not sure. That blouse fabric would look good in the cropped Jenna shirt. The fabric hall and your plans look great!
I like the Dahla Jumpsuit
Thank you, I think I’ll have to give it a go x
Hi Sally love your vlogs and lovely sewing. I found the lighting in this vlog better than usual as often I find the lighting is too bright and I can’t see the details of the things you show. I am always keen to see what you are showing and I appreciate it when you show the patterns straight to camera rather than half turned away so you are looking at them as you speak. Love all your makes.
Thank you for the feedback that's good to know! I think because I sit in front of the window it can be a little bright sometimes xx
I made the Montana dress in double gauze and put some elastic in the back to bring it in.
You could use that fabric for something like the Gia dress (I think that is what it's called) by Tammy handmade
That’s a great idea! I will have a look at the Gia dress thank you x
I could see that small stretchy ghingham as some wide leg elastic waist pants...
Yes I wonder if they would be better xx
I think the stripey seersucker fabric would look great in a wrap skirt!!
Ooh yes it would xx
Gorgeous fabrics and plans! I really like Selfmade’s fabrics as well and I’m planning to go to their shop in a nearby town soon as they’ve started their sale now. Their shops are so lovely and inspiring! Me my friend take it as a fun outing, spend a loooong time in the shop and then go for a nice meal and then usually brows some more shops.
That sounds like such a lovely day I’d love to go to their shop - enjoy! Xx
So pleased you are planning to make the Sew over it Tea dress, that has been on my " to do 'list for ages but I have been nervous about getting
the fit right. I agree with you that a small floral print is ideal for this dress, I love your choice of fabric, I have a similar one ready and waiting.
As for the gingham fabric for the Montana dress, it might be tricky using a fabric with that amount of stretch. I tend to get my inspiration from the Toast clothing website ,and for the Montana type of dress theirs are always made in a wide variety of woven fabrics. You might want to have a look ( their prices are mind blowing 😂 ).
I hope I can do the tea dress justice 🙈 Yes I agree about the gingham the more I think about it the less suited I think it is. So annoying! I love Toast for inspiration too they have such lovely things don’t they xx
Re the Montana black/white, I would not use it, only because if the seam line between top and bottom isn’t perfectly matched, it will look sloppy. I really struggle with that kind of precision. The eye goes right to imprecision there. Maybe you are better at it than me. I think a ditsy floral would be pretty in a viscose. And much easier to work with. For the black/white, it would be a cute short set or an Ilford jacket.
That's so true and with my first Montana I was put of by my own sloppy stripe matching so I don't want that again xx
I think it’s too overly stretchy for Montana dress!
How about making the Montana dress bodice in a stable knit, such as from Alabama Chanin, and the skirt part a gingham woven?
Ooh yes thanks for the suggestion, that might be nice x
Have you thought of making a bomber jacket or waist length style jacket out of your gingham-type fabric?
No I hadn't but thank you for the suggestion xxx
Wideleg pants in gingham fabric perhaps?
Lovely fabrics that will be fun to make up. I thought there was an issue with straight horizontal lines on the Montana dress at the waist? Is there a curve to the waist? As soon as you showed the Reeta pattern I thought that would look better in the gingham than the Montana dress. I’m looking forward to seeing your Almy top.
Yes there was so I’m not sure why I chose gingham! It might work well with the Reeta dress you’re right - thanks for the suggestion xx
I’m glad you mentioned the Ashton top. I have made it but not finished it as the armholes are too low. I have also taken in by at least 2 “ each side which helps the armhole. However I have looked atsizing down and the armscye doesn’t seem to shift significantly. Did you have this issue?,I looked at the blog and it appears they amended the armhole as it was too low when testers made it. So I’m confused 😊
Ooh no I didn't have any trouble with the armhole mine seems to fit nicely. Maybe it's worth emailing them to see if somehow you received the wrong version of the pattern? x
Yes! Make 1940 dress first!!!
xXX👍👍👍
If you aren’t certain, hold onto the fabric. It’s so disappointing making something that you don’t like
