Absolutely love the print of the viscose jersey t-shirt! Dresses are so comfortable and versatile. You have the most gorgeous fabrics and patterns!! You wear them all so well!
I think the tiger print would be perfect for summer with gold (or turquoise! Or red!) accessories. Remaking previously used patterns is such a good idea- no puzzling over them trying to work out what the designer meant!
Lovely plans Ruan! For the last dress, I vote for fabric #2 or #4. The first fabric is my favorite (leaves with animal print), but I think that it would look so nice as the Rita dress with the floaty skirt to show off the fabric. 💖
I’ll go and vote now (monstera ❤ ftw), but just speaking from personal experience when I’ve made a shirt dress in chambray it felt like a nurses uniform 😮 😂 I cut it down to a shirt, so at least I saved it, but maybe I can save you from a similar fate 😅
Option 5, the viscose twill will give the shirt dress that little bit of stability and the darker color will be great as an all seasons dress. Happy sewing. I can’t wait to see your final result
The Vienne dress is going to look gorgeous in the red fabric! I don’t think the zebra fabric is too autumnal, it’s going to look lovely. I vote for the Monstera fabric, I love that print 🤩
The brown tiger print is definitely a neutral, would look great year round xx
The red Vienne dress will look fab. Red does suit you!! Greetings from Vienna! ❤
Thank you ☺️
I try not to be bound by what i "should" wear. I don't go by"my" colours, if something doesn't fit with the current season, i just go for it.
Wow! I love all of your choices but especially love the fabric with Monstera leaves on black with animal print!!
I'll vote properly later but I think you should use the astrology print for the style arc dress. It's pretty but it's not as gorgeous imo as some of the others so if you make a boo boo it's not as big a loss. I'm just naturally pessimistic, don't mind me.🙄
😂😂
The UK is gonna get warmer as of May 30th because I’m coming home from Costa Rica 🎉and I’m bringing a suitcase full of sunshine 😊 Happy Days!
Lol I literally looked at the blue viscose and thought I need that in my life! 😂
Need the red in my life too!
Need the animal print leaves and the black with the white and pink… probably just your whole stash 😂
Ha ha. We’re defo fabric twins!
I like the green with leaves best but I’m voting for the blue. You are going to be busy!
Can you go back to work so we can have the sunshine back please Ruan ! 🤣🤣🤣 The Quincy dress looks gorgeous! Hmm I might like that for my holiday plans now 😇 looking forward to seeing what fabric is chosen for y style arc collab with the super gorgeous talented StaceyJ ❤️
I went on a school trip to Chelsea flower show (obviously eons ago) I grumped about and moaned about it for days, sulked for the whole 6 hour coach journey then absolutely loved when we got there - fell in love with plants, gardens and all things horticultural 🤷♀️ 😢
3 - ooo the vienne looks pretty. Ooo pretty fabric. That will look fab ❤️❤️
Hi Ruan. Loving your channel from Wausau Wisconsin USA.
I vote for Fabric 5.
Definitely #4. I love that fabric and it would look amazing on you. I am a much less experienced sewer than you and I have made a lot of style arc patterns. The instructions are fine.
My vote plain blue. You said it resembles denim and I think that would be very cute
You are so inspiring! It’s just like sitting down with a good friend and chatting about sewing. Except it is only you chatting 😅😂🤣🤣🤣 “anyhow” you are lifting up so many with your smiling face and girly, down-to-earth way of being. Just lovely.
The last dress: fabric 4 or 5.
Happy sewing. Hugs from Norway 🇳🇴😊
You’re going to make SIX dresses !!! ( the green fabric) xxx
I certainly am! 😂
Exciting plans Ruan! I vote pale blue chambray for the shirt dress 🙌
4 - I think a pair of pumps and denim jacket would be great with it in the summer.
Might be the camera lights but the pale looking fabric didn’t pick up well for you but 3 and 5 really shone for you
Exciting plans Ruan, lots to look forward to. That viscose satin is stunning (but I didn’t vote for it). Enjoy your weekend. xx
2 - oh yes the fabric would look fab with a pair of tights come autumn 😂
Ruan, Love watching you. Glad you are on holiday.
Here is my 2 cents. Yes, to the brown animal print, it is so you and can be used year-round -- so to me it is definite.
Regarding the Style Arc Palmer... I have made one Style Arc -- Bennett pants and I am 5'2". I had to make major adjustments for fit -- I am talking inches and inches .... and I made a muslin to be sure I understood their limited instructions -- and even doing the muslin - (it was weeks before I made the final garment) it was like starting again and not telling you the words I used for days!!! ... DESPITE all this -- they are the most comfortable PANTS!!! And the look great (at least to me). So you can see I have mixed emotions about Style Arc -- but I would say give it a whirl. I loved your #1 fabric viscose green leaf with animal prints -- so you and the dress will show off the fabric. After I see you, I may give the Palmer a try.
Re the fabric for your 6th dress I love the first fabric loads with a pink belt? Also like the second fabric which suits the pattern. Not so keen on 3rd fabric. Really like 4th fabric. Less keen on 5th fabric. If it were me I would choose 1st or 4th fabric xxx
All amazing fabrics and patterns. On your poll and 5 fabrics to vote on, love number 1 x
Simple fabric if you’ve never done Style Arc patterns before! Then do print next time!
Option 2 light blue. I was thinking that even before you showed the fabrics. A statement piece of jewelry and narrow light brown belt
I like option 1 and 2 for that dress. That green fabric is beautiful! I still don't consider myself to be a very experienced sewist, but I have sewn a couple of Style Arc Patterns. I would suggest reading through the pattern ahead of time. I write down where/when I need to finish the seams because the pattern doesn't do that. I think the patterns might use the term "stay stitch" instead of "basting", which can be a little confusing if you're totally new, but you aren't. Maybe the terminology is a little different in Australia? Anyway, the drafting is excellent. They have so many choices. The styles are super cute. You've got this!
Great vlog Ruan. Oooooo that fabric number 4 reminds me ofMerimiko , sooooo gorgeous. X
lovely fabric options for the final dress, you may want to think about the printed options and pattern matching with the lines and multiple small pieces of the style arc dress. BTW given the level of sewing you do Style Arc will be a breeze.
A fun vlog Ruan and very inspiring with all your dress making plans😃 i’m excited to hear that the Quincy dress and the Rita shirt dress are included. I have had the Rita shirt dress pattern for a while,and have considered the Quincy several times! Love all the fabric choices.
I think option one for your Style Arc Palmer dress, the tiger print would make a stunning summer dress and I see your option 4 as a beautiful Vienne Dress?
Hi Ruan, as you are such an experienced sewist you won’t have any problem with style arc. I’ve made several and although the instructions are hopeless you can work things and sometimes even do your own thing. Any of your fabrics would be great but maybe use a fabric as a practice so you don’t lose a fabric you really love. Good luck,you can make a Style Arc dress
Voting for option 1 (the green leafy print) for your Style Arc dress - - because your face just lit up when you described it and talked about it 🙂.
5 - awww that looks cute! Love a bit of lure! That will look pretty 💚💛
All your dress plans are fabulous. I will vote for fabric #1. That one should not be languishing in your stash!
The blue on navy astronomy print for the Style Arc pattern! But the viscose satin is also stunning!
I think you’ve got to make 5 shirt dresses ,all the fabrics are beautiful but did love 4 and 5 , then 1 was lovely as well , definitely need to make the chambray up and choose a pattern fabric and do 2 dresses
So pleased you've given a shout out for the Cocowawa Honeycomb Dress - it's got lovely side panel styling. I've made two and there's a third cut out ready to sew. I add a ruffle to lengthen the dress as I don't want anyone to see my ultra white legs!😂
I think no 3 or 5 for the style arc dress . I like the autumnal fabric for the Reeta shirt dress as sometimes they are a good option with English summer weather.
I like the autumnal fabric for the Reeta as some days in English summers they are better suited.
Such great dress ideas and beautiful fabrics. I vote for the Chambray, since all the other dresses you are going to make in printed fabric, will nice to have a plain solid dress 😅
I like the tiger print in Australian that is a summer look. I do not know about the community page, but my favourite fabrics are 1 and 3 and the last one. I really like 1 and 3, the last fabric with the blue might be the best for the challenge dress as I think it is better to save favourite fabrics for patterns you are more confident with.
I love that viscose satin but I think that would be better made up in something simple like the Lotta dress. Great selection of dresses though and I will look forward to seeing what you make.
Hello Ruan, My name is Valerie and I live in Las Vegas, NV, USA. Your channel is such a joy! I love your fabrics and the clothing that you make, which provides inspiration in my sewing. My vote for the Style Arc dress is the dark blue fabric with the light blue "zodiac" symbols. Happy sewing!
Thank you so much 😊
I like option one the big monstera leaves in animal prints, I think it screams shirt dress and would look wonderful on you.
I like Style Arc patterns but it's ridiculous that they don't have appropriate instructions. I don't pay for a pattern to work out how to put it together
We've been to the Chelsea Flower Show twice and really enjoyed it.
i love all your pattern and fabric choices for work dresses, and if you look at them all they are so different to each other so lots of options. Love the reta shirt dress, i have two and find i wear it in autumn as its quite warm with the amount of fabric it takes. As for your collab dress obv fabric 1 with the big leaves and you know it 😉 however if your a bit unsure having not make it before then use one of the others that arn't quite as precious!
Love all the dresses that you are hoping to make! Never made the Lotta, hopefully yours will make up my mind. I like option 4 or 5 for the Style Arc dress. A great selection!
I like all but I really think you should do the most stable fabric. The thing with viscose is it can be slippy and that is more a challenge than the pattern. Factor in collar buttonholes etc My personal favourites are 1 and 3 but I would make your first make of the pattern in option 2 as it's cotton. I love Style Arc - almost everything I make is by them. I think they unnecessarily get a bad press over instructions. They have listened to feedback and now have both printed new instructions to patterns [available free to anyone who has previously bought the pattern] and put tutorials on their website. Can't wait to see what you make.😎❤
2 - buttons 😮😮 more difficult make
I love option number 1 the Colours and print are beautiful
OPTION # 1, BEAUTIFUL
Omg I love the green fabric ❤️❤️❤️❤️
The blue on blue would be.great for the last dress
Lots of fun fabric and stylish dresses. 💙🧶🌈🍓
Okay, I knew for sure you would include a TATB Lyra. You shocked me. LOL.
I love all of your choices. I especially look forward to seeing the Honeycomb dress in the green vicose with lurex. I just made a Sew House Seven Regalia Blouse with mine. I used a different vicose for the inside bits. It's a beautiful fabric. ❤😊
Ha ha. I surprised myself 😂
I think the chambray for the style ark dress.
6 - ooo lovely pattern. Wishing you lots of luck. I have definitely been put of attempting a style arc pattern. 🍀🍀 Omg love fabric 1. Don't think I would choose a chambray. I think fabric 3 would make a great tate romper. No 4 not for this pattern. Ooo no5 would be fab. Do fabric 1 or 5. Maybe both 😘😍
*so not do 🤣🤣 bossy much 😂
Animal is a nuetral.. tiger is a year round print for sure
Number 3 gets my vote as its lovely and summery!
All your fabric is just delicious 😍😍😍😍
What fab pattern suggestions! I’ve not heard of that Jennifer Lauren one… *runs off to check it out!
Happy sewing
😂😂
Great selection of fabrics, option 3 would be my choice for the Style Arc dress.
Lovely plans, Ruan. You really inspire me to get started on my summer dresses, too! (Btw, got my Sew Frugal prize a couple of days ago. Thank you so much! ❤❤)
Oh that’s brilliant 🤩
Option number 1 gets my vote….but it will look great in any of your options.
For your shirt dress I can't pick one, but 3 is close enough 😂 love the monstera leaves viscose, sew hayley Jane Black and pink and the FB viscose twill. All sooo pretty! ❤
😊😊
Ooo exciting makes and so many fabulous fabrics! Style arc instructions are fine just not very detailed. You ll be grand. I have my first Reeta on my plans 😍
Aww thanks honey 🤞🏼
Oh my oh my - that leaf fabric for the possible Parma dress is absolutely gorgeous 🥰🥰🥰 great pattern picks too - I’m like ooooh yeah forgot about that one and how much I like wearing it aka honeycomb dress!
Yes can’t wait to make that one again!
… FABRIC NUMBER FOUR !!! Yes I am shouting so you can hear me voting lol… all these fabrics and dress patterns are just awesome Ruan , I’m excited to see them all come to life .. hugs xoxo Monica 💙💙💙
I love the plain blue for the shirt dress
So many gorgeous options - can't wait to see these all made up! I'd love to see that FG viscose twill as the Style Arc dress - lush! xxx
Exciting plans, go for them. Tiger print with gold sandals are perfect for summer.
Shirt dresses: if you like the pattern make more because all of the fabrics seem good for this. My favorites are #1 and #4 with red button for both!
Blue astronomical print for me
My vote goes to the chambray ❤😊
I think the option 1 would be great!
Love everything.....good taste..
Definitely the green animal print!
Chambray for Style Arc!!!
Gorgeous choices-except can’t imagine you EVER in the plain chambray 😂. I shall vote now!!
😂😂
Ooh, lovely fabrics, my vote goes to the black/green monstera animal print :)
Love that bright red fabric Ruan...will be fun to see how the Vienne dress looks in it. xxKaren
Found the Comunity tab (yayyyy). For me the SHJ fabric but I see that option 1 is winning BUT that fabric is so so beautiful (they are all lovely but that one is a step beyond beautiful). However, whichever one is voted for and chosen will be gorgeous. Option 3, option 3 option 3. Can't wait to see them all
😂😂
Option #3. When you held it up to your face I thought it complimented your skin and hair. And I think the fabric will give you a sophisticated high end look.
Hi Ruan, it's fun hearing about your plans! I think the tiger print is absolutely doable! I think it would go beautifully with pale pink accessories. 😍 I've made the Reeta in a print with a black background and wanted to do it again with more of a solid safari vibe color. I've also made the Quincy dress in a print, and really like that one too.
I'll have to check out the Palmer dress....I've got about 5 other SA shirtdresses 😆Just read all the sentences 3 times out loud - every word counts 😉 Staystitch means baste, flatstitch means understitch, ... there may be others. The "helpful tips" is like General Instructions and everything counts. I'll love seeing the dresses you've got in the queue!
Ooh that’s really good to know. Thank you!
LOVE the look of that JLH Quincy dress. I ran right into my sewing room to see if I’d purchased it before - YEP, it’s just waiting for me to make it up as well. I love her dresses. I wore one yesterday in fact. OK, now I’m going to watch the rest of your video…
Can’t totally see you in this pattern!
Nude, taupe pumps or sandals 👡
Fabric 1 for style Arc😊
First one - leaf print
I’ve watched this twice, as two of the patterns you’ve mentioned I couldn’t stop thinking about, so I had to find what they were. 😆
I’ve come to a bit of a stop with my sewing this month because I made two skirts which highlight my mum tum, and thickness in the middle😕. I need something to get my sewjo back, hopefully a lovely new dress will do the trick 🤞🏼
Hope you smashed out an amazing garment that you’re happy with honey 😊
the colours in the t shirt suit you!
Do you have trouble with buttonholes on viscose/rayons? Option one, the green fabric for the Style Arc dress.
It usually. I always apply some interfacing inside the button placket and that tends to help 😊
Loving your dress choices Ruan. I've got the Vienne dress to make and I also have the cocowawa dress too. Look forward to seeing yours 😻
😘
Hi, love all your plans. I’m going to order the honeycomb pattern as you’ve sold it so well! I think option 1 or 5 for the palmer pattern. Styarc patterns are a bit lacking in instruction but with your experience you’ll be fine and they are great designs that are a true to size fit ( in my experience). Good luck and look forward to seeing you wearing them all
Thank you! The honeycomb is a lovely pattern isn’t it!
Great choice of patterns & fabrics, and have to admit I bought the Lotto pattern but not made it up - so thank you for that reminder I’ll need to look at that one again. There was only one fabric that I didn’t know if it was in your ‘colour palette’ & that was the brown tiger fabric, lovely but I don’t think the colour was right for you - unlike the other fabrics I thought it drained you (sorry don’t mean to be rude) but having had my colours done I can appreciate the idea behind it, however loved the shirt dress with the pleated pockets. With the five fabrics you showed, loved the first two, hard to choice between them but then that last blue fabric one me over totally. Good luck with all your makes. ❤❤
Yes I was unsure about the brown one but I've made it up, worn it today for the first time and had 3 compliments so far - woohooooo!
Hi there I vote for number five, think some of yr larger pattern fabric would get lost in the shirt, plain is my number two, think with long shirt styles they can be worn open as a duster as some people call them, so two great uses for one style. Style arc I've made a few you will be okay trust yourself, regards Diana from NZ 🎉❤
Thank you ☺️
I love all your fabric choices , , look forward to seeing the dresses made up.
