Hi Rachel it is always lovely seeing you on your channel. Love your coloured hair it suits you. I must say you look different relaxed and taking it easy day which we should all have. Me time with your amazing fabric choice purchase cannot wait to see what you make next. Enjoy the rest of your day ciao for now XXX
Just catching up with videos and loved “spending the day with you”! Any day spent looking at fabric is a fun day, isn’t it. Lovely embroidery work, how fun to do a bit of slow crewel work. I used to do a lot of that. Hugs from Oregon.
Yes I enjoyed your day. ❤️
Ooh excited to see what you make with your Atelier Jupe fabrics! I think the chevron one would make such a great Mabel dress, The colours are beautiful!
Hi Rachel in my opinion your hair looks FAB I think the softer tone looks great on you .
In my opinion I think you are great your talent all you share with us and your down to earth honesty is so refreshing
Please please don’t be offended but I hate to hear you beat yourself up , you are such a lovely lady xxxxxx in every way xxxx
I’m not sure why I’ve only just seen this vlog. Well done for your embroidery. You are very talented and flower arranging was great too. 😊
enjoyed this vlog so much! love your dress 😍 looking good x
Lovely vlog thanks for taking us with you for the day. I love Stitch and Stash as she always stocks Atelier Jupe which I love and even without her sale she is always cheaper than everyone else. She is also really helpful when I have needed to email her, great indie shop. Loved your flowers too look forward to you growing some next year. 😊
Love your hair colour! Really suits you.
Love your hair colour, and it looks so nice up!
And I LOVED those blogs and have missed them!!!!!!
LOVE YOUR DRESS 😍
Buttons (: That made me smile.
I love the thelma fabric. I made the cashmerette club Murcot vest (gilet) with it and used the matching lining fabric. I made mine in the lilac but want to get more as they'd make great Christmas gifts for the family (despite it being summertime then).I recommend using a walking foot! It'll reduce the drag.
Hi Rachel, loved the video. Omg, you buy so much fabric!! I thought I bought a lot but you win hands down 😂😂
I did buy the bargain double gauze you recommended.
Loving your new hair colour 😍. I made the IAm Hathor earlier this year, it's in a makes vlog that i did. Its a really easy sew, you'll tackle it no problem. I love mine and will definitely be making more xx
Love the hair colour 🙂
Lovely video and really enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing your day. By the way the hair looks nice to and the embroidery is coming along lovely. Looking forward to seeing the both yours and Layla's hat. x
Hi Rachel.. I just love a day in the life type vlogs 👌. Really enjoyed coming along with you 😁. Your hair looks lovely 💖. Great fabrics as usual and your embroidery looks gorgeous... Can't wait to see it finished. Beautiful flowers too 💐. Summer is back at last 😜😎🌞.. let's hope it lasts 🙏🌻😘
Lovely day watching you. Lovely fabrics. Your hair and the colour really suits you up. Also Rachel those patterns of square storage you bought. I also have a real fright when I am making them. However, I have bought some Spencer Ogg patterns her name is Diane and she is based in Manchester. She has lots of bags and storage boxes there isnt a paper pattern but she does a really good tutorial with most of her storage boxes and bags. Im not into making bags myself but the storage boxes for a suit case are really good......................
Love your hair!
Such an awesome video! Sorry you were so hot! Hope ya got that cold drink
i really enjoy this style of video...i feel like i had a visit...im so wanting to shop for fabric though lol...cute bucket hats...i think ill use up my fq for that too
Great vlog Rachel and loved seeing your day. Always enjoy your fabric haul but enjoyed seeing your buys from Stitch and Stash which is new to me and I'll go browse.Think your embroidered hat is going to be so cute and looking forward to the finished hat - you've done well for first time embroidery. Where is Piper? And how is Martin doing? Bet you can't wait till the cool fall days when you can take Piper for a walk .
Love your hair color, it is very beautiful on you. Always love seeing what you are up to!
An amazing fabric selection as always, you have an amazing eye for them
Thumbs up for the new hair color. Change is important to us ladies! Thanks for sharing your day!😊
Top looks great would love to see how you do the twist
thanks rachel a nice surprise i love seeing what you do with your days and what you are making keep them coming you keep a lot of people happy x
Your new hair colour is lovely with your skin tone. Always fun to have a change.
At least half my jersey top necklines are just folded in 3/8 inch and top-stitched and they come out beautifully. I like the neckband for sportier tees
Wow hair is gorgeous ❤
l like your hair that colour Racheal i use a simillar shade on mine and always panic a bit at first ! but after a couple of washes its just right as a retired stylist ive been every colour under the sun too x🤣
Rachel, I love these kinds of videos….a little bit of everything! Also your hair looks great and is so cute tied up. Can’t wait to see your finished hat. ❤️
Those fabrics from Rainbow Fabrics are amazing, can’t wait to see what you make. 🍓🧶🌈💙
Love how you show a SHJ reveal and a fabric haul. Then there is a delivery and a trip to your local shop❤
Awe Rachael, thank you for sharing your day. Loved that video. I love that idea of putting embroidery on the bucket hat. I've made loads of them but they have always been using printed/pattern fabric so I'm going to look for plain fabric and try the embroidery next time. By the way, your hair does look ash blonde to me and it looks great. Give it time, you'll get used to it. xx
Love the hair colour. Interested in the bucket hat as I have a grandson à similar age. Wish I had known about the sale😂but probably a good job I didn't know... Will you give sufficient notice of the next Northern sew sisters live as I keep missing them! 😊
Love your hair that colour and style really suits you!! Those fabrics are gorgeous xx
I agree with the other comments that the new hair colour suits you but you have to like it yourself to want to keep it. Also, I like the side parting. It looks nice on you. I’m at home in Suffolk watching this video but I’ve just come back from a week away in the Yorkshire Dales (we stayed in Airton) for a hiking holiday. Your neck of the woods is beautiful 😊
Love your hair color fits your complexion very well
. Cross stitch needles are more blunt than embroidery needles because with cross stitch you use aida cloth
I really enjoyed spending the day with you Rachel. I think your new hair colour really suits your skin tone and the more I saw of it during your day, the more I thought so. I also liked your hair being “up”, and who cares if your parting is left, right, centre or non existent; you do You. You are a stylish lady. Hugs x
When you relocated to the conservatory, I noticed your hair does look a lovely ash blond. It’s great on you. Your fabric haul is epic! I especially love the black fabric with the white roses arranged in wreaths. So pretty. This is a wonderful video! Very well done. I’m prepping fabric for its pretreat wash by surging raw edges. Thunderstorms are all around. My husky, Astrid is helping by sleeping on my left foot, but my kitty Zoe is asleep in the other room. I’ve had a bit of a low ebb with my sew Jo, so I’m trying to get going by prepping and cleaning up my sewing room, that helps me sometimes. Your video is a great encouragement to get sewing too, as always. I love to embroider. My mom taught me when I was very young. I also like to cross stitch. Take care!
Thank you so much xx
I love the colour of your hair, it’s much softer on you and looks wonderful. It doesn’t look dark on camera, just looks like a lovely cool blonde.
Your outfit looks fab as well. And great job on the embroidery. Looking forward to seeing how your hat turns out.
Another great video Rachael. I don’t feel so bad now about all of the fabric I keep ordering😘. Really enjoyed watching how your day went.😌xx
Hello Rachel
Hair color is quite nice
You need to spend a day cutting out some of those beautiful fabrics that you have shown us recently and have a full day of sewing
I know that the speed that you sew you can get quite a few garments completed
Can't wait to see more makes
How do you store your fabrics by type and size of pieces?
Like all pieces for blouses or pant weights,desses etc
So you can easily pick one and do a project
Happy sewing Take care 👗✂️🪡🧵👚
This was a lovely video Rachel! I have to say that I binged many of your weekly vlogs back when I found your channel and love your style. Would love to see Martin pop in on one in the future. Such a funny guy, especially during “Beer-mas”!
Great vlog Rachel, love the new hair colour and I have got to say the lilac in the atelier jupe fabrics really made the colour pop. Can’t wait to see them made up 😊 oh and yes please to the tutorial 😊
Greetings from SouthAfrica 🌞🇿🇦
Looking gorgeous as always. I love your hair, it looks effortlessly stylish. And great fabrics too. Looking forward to seeing your hat ❤
I have made a Hathor with hood and welt pockets in a padded fabric from metermeter. The welt with the fabric was tricky but looks great however I couldn't figure out how to do the lining around the armholes and its not great, apparently you have to do the burrito method, for me the instructions were lacking for that but won't be any bother for you, its a great addition to my autumn wardrobe
💙💙
Yes please show us how you did the black top you hacked. Thank you for another fab video.
Love the hair colour! it really suits you!
I am seriously envying your heat at the moment! I’m freezing here in New Zealand in all the layers. It is 9.30am and 3 degrees brr!
Hi Rachel! Boyes (don't know how to spell it!) looks like an amazing shop! We don't have anything like that in Belfast, and I'm very jealous. 😆 I loved the black fabric with the pink roses, and £4 a metre!! 😍 It would make a fabulous Vampire's Wife style dress. Lynne 🤩☘️
You spelt it correctly Lynne! Yes I was eyeing up that one too might go back for it tomorrow 🤣
Hello Rachel, loved spending some time with you on your day off!! Love the hair, think it suits really well! Don’t forget to show us the hat when it’s done! 🐾🐾
I look forward to your progress on the I am Hathor vest, I have the pattern and haven’t started it yet.
Looks ash blonde to me! And it looks natural to me.
Love the hair colour x
Color of hair goes well with skin color! ❤
Hi Rachel! I have missed your channel for quite sometime and I do declare - you look different! I focused on you and listened of course and you mentioned your hair color has changed but that is not it - well all of it. I decided it is your lips! They are fuller aren't they? Do you use the substance they are selling now? No matter, you and they look great! Fun to follow you for a day or part of one - if you followed me you would be asleep in a minute! You are always making and buying beautiful things we love to see. I especially LOVE the Rainbow colorful piece and am interested in what you will do with it. Good to see you again.
I am looking at the fabric in the background at approx 27.00 😂😂😂 oh sister I am glad I am not the only one ❤️🙌🏽 lovely vlog as always x
Haha when I was editing and saw that in the background I thought ‘oh dear 🙈’
@@StitchedUp sometimes there are no secrets haha I love how authentic you are x
Love your ash blonde, it softens your face beautifully. 🌹❤️ I’ve gone to ash blonde (even silver at times) there’s nothing flattering about brassy blonde on the mature woman.
Great video. Love your fabrics. Love the hathor, have made four so far and plan another for this autumn, such a practical pattern. Cross stitch needle is blunt ended, not suitable for embroidery. Just use any normal sharp needle with a big enough eye for a couple of strands of embroidery floss. Well done if you used the Cross stitch needle!
Hi love the vlog. Wish our Boyes had as nice fabrics as yours! Hope you are still enjoying your embroidery. The needles you use for embroidery vary according to the thickness of thread you use and the fabric. As long as it will take the thread and it is sharp enough to go through the fabric I wouldn't worry. Cross stitch is usually done on open weave fabric so thicker needles can be used. There are embroidery , tapestry and crewel needles available.. The stranded threads you are using can be split into separate threads to suit your needs. I like to use 3 strands in a fine needle. Embroidery needles are usually quite fine with a large eye. Crewel or tapestry needles are thicker and will take wool or thick threads. Hope this is helpful and you fall in love with embroidery. I have done it since I was a child. I am now learning free motion machine embroidery. Exciting!!! Sorry for the long post. Enjoy. xx
That was so helpful thank you! Yes I think I need a sharper needle this one is hard work
@@StitchedUp I tend to use embroidery needles for most hand sewing because the eye makes them easy to thread. If you want to add small beads to embroidery you need beading needles and special thread because they are really fine needles but that is a whole other story! Its addictive!!! xx
Reading through the comments most people seem to agree with me that your hair colour is lovely and it suits you very well. I was a little disappointed with my sew haley jane box as i can't wear pink, so I'm going to dye it blue. The fabric is lovely quality, just not my colour. Xx
yo!fantastic video-work~
What is the name of the black printed fabric and fabric base ie; rayon, you purchased from Rainbow Fabrics? P. S a fabric stash video would be awesome to see! Thank you :)
Can see a pair of dungarees in the pink cotton.
Love this!
🐯
Your hair color suits you nicely.
Could you show us your fabric stash? It looks like you have so many beautiful fabrics in the shelves behind you. It would be fun if you could show them to us.
I love the colour of your hair. Yes, it looks ash-blonde. It really suits your complexion and makes your eyes look sky blue. I always love watching your vlogs. Do you still wear your beach pyjamas? (on intro to vlog) they look super cute and comfy.
I do! I had them on a couple of weeks back
Your hair does look ash based..... it does lighten up in a few days so wait to see. Its nice. Suits your skin tone 😊
LOVE your hair! Your embroidery is fantastic. Have you started sewing for Cornwall?
Hi Rachel
Which boyes did you use the fabrics looked great ?
Goole it can be hit and miss
Hi...missing your vlogs!!! Hope you okXXX👍👍👍
I think your hair needs some strawberry blonde highlights to brighten. To me the colour doesn't lift from your natural skin tone. However, my monitor likely is not accurate and the colour could be wonderful in person. I have summer beach y blondes in my hair right now and going in October to get low lights and a bit of red, as I wear more subtle or darker colours in fall and winter.
Have you had your color’s done?
No I really need to though
xXX👍👍👍
