- Welcome back to my channel! In this video, I chat about my week in and out of the sewing room. I had a very productive week in the sewing room. I basted my Pulse Quilt, finished my Gilbert top and hem facing tutorial, made the Aeroplane Bag and recorded the zipper tape tutorial and made myself a new Chorus Top by Love Notions. In this video, I share my thoughts on the top and the pattern.

Izzy, what a beautiful tribute to your grandmothers. You look lovely in the green top. It is your color. The bag is gorgeous. I know I'm late in commenting, but Jen sews for her baby grandson and has lots of ideas. ❤
Thank you so much Marcia!! I think I know what I’m going to make now… time constraints have seriously limited my options! 🤣
You are so industrious and inspiring. Keep up the good work !
Thank you so much! 😊
You have had a very productive week with beautiful makes. I love, love, love your bag. ❤
Thank you so much Cynthia! 💞
Double gauze receiving blankets are a great baby gift.
Oh and I think I have double gauze in my stash! Thank you!
@@dizzyquiltsandsewsthere you go! Use up that double gauze you love so much 😂
Such a lovely video Izzy.
I love tribute to your grandmothers.
All your makes look fab. Well done.
Doughnut fabric is fantastic.
Can't wait to see what you made for the baby.
Oh thank you Agata! Isn’t that doughnut fabric fabulous!?
Wow Izzy, what a great name for your dress form!! A tribute to both your grandmothers is a lovely idea! I love your Aeroplane Bag! I bought the pattern after watching your vlog. It is perfect for travel and I will use it for travel in the trailer as well as airplane travel as I plane to use the hack for putting a luggase sleeve on one side. Thank you for your inspiration!!
Thank you! Such a good idea to add the sleeve on the Aeroplane Bag. I might try that with the smaller size bag!
@@dizzyquiltsandsews Also Izzy another great baby shower gift is a "Quillow" (a blanket folded into a pillow) I gave several of these for newborn gifts as they are great for the car or stroller!
Great vlog!! Wonderful name for you dress form, made me think I need to name mine and think it also needs to be something to do with my Nan, who started my sewing journey.
For kids patterns check out waves and wild, they do gorgeous little jersey pants.
Thank you for the recommendation! I agree - I think you do need to name your dress form for your Nan!
I just started using Nancy Zieman's technique for a full bicep adjustment and it is so much better than the regular method ! I'm going to try more of her techniques.
Nice! Yeah I’m definitely going to try some of those techniques soon!
Izzy what a beautiful name for your dress form! The fabric with the big purple flowers is gorgeous 😊❤.
Thank you! 😊
I love llamas! 🤩 So fun, Izzy! Gorgeous Aeroplane Bag, and the color of your Chorus Top looks fab on you! 💚 I have a tutorial for a super-quick minky and flannel baby blankie! 🥰
Thank you Andra! Aren’t those llamas cute?! Love them. I’ll have a look in my stash on Sunday and see if I have anything appropriate for a blankie. Xx
For baby gifts I like to make blankets. I buy 1 1/4 years of a cotton and a flannel. Place wrong sides together, Sew around the edges and flip inside out then topstitch all the way around to close the opening. It covers a car seat and is a great size to throw on the floor for the baby to lay on. I also make burp cloths. You can never have enough burp cloths. I use flannel on one side and flannel or terry cloth on the other side.
Thank you! I saw a very easy tutorial for burp clothes and I think I’m going to make a couple of those.
Hi Izzy, your videos are always so interesting and fun. 😊 What a satisfyingly successful week you’ve had. I love the Chorus top, and the colour is very good on you I think. Facings with a wanderlust are such a flippin’ pain though. I’ve no suggestions as to how you fix this one. Grrrr ! I’m so pleased you’re doing a video for the Aeroplane bag. I want one, but have never been introduced to the mysteries of installing continuous zips 😆. Have a good week and thanks as always xx
Thanks so much! Yes, facings are definitely annoying. Let me know if you have questions on the Aeroplane! 😊
Always a good week when you sew things that make you smile. Free pattern that is quick - BRINDILLE and Twig hoodie. Goes together so quick and you can make it from scraps. You can sew it in a size 12 mo or 2. Like Erin said, people enjoy getting clothes that are not tiny.
Thank you! I’m going to check that one out. If I make bigger, it would make sense to make a hoodie for winter!
Great top and colour looks good you have been very busy and productive look forward to the review on the Nancy Zieman book such a great video thank you 😊😊
Thank you Robyn!!
Izzy, I have the Nancy Zeiman book, and only use the pivot & slide method now--since it works for me and my brain. She was my sewing hero! Love your top!!
I think her method is going to work for my brain too - looks so straight-forward!! I can’t wait to try it.
Also, Nancy Zieman on PBS taught me everything I know! I don’t use pivot and slide anymore but so many techniques came from her. Miss her.
Amazing! Can I ask why you don’t use the pivot and slide method anymore?
@@dizzyquiltsandsews you know, not sure! It might be because for a while my weight was down and did not always need an FBA, and then I learned other methods. Might revisit this, tho!
I used the Pivot and Slide method method with my very first pattern on my very first video here on this channel. I love Nancy and I have that book also.😊
Your top looks pretty on you!
Thank you Zelda!!
You have made amazing progress, you're so good at being focused. I think the fastest baby gift is a hooded bath towel. Gildentree has a nice tutorial. Have fun on the island.
Thank you! I don’t have any terry cloth in my stash and can’t really buy any before Sunday 😩 But that’s a really good idea. I had those when my kids were babies and they were so fun!
You could make some over the shoulder burp rags. They are so easy and so cute!
They are! And I have a few scraps that would be perfect for those. Thank you!
Hi Izzy, thanks for the video, great as always. Patterns For Pirates have a few free and simple patterns for babies :)
Thank you - I had a look at those and they look amazing!
Izzy, I can’t believe you didn’t know about Pivot and Slide! It’s a great technique, especially for those times when you just want to SEW and not mess around with tracing, taping, cutting, blahhhhhh. 😅
I love your new top and your sweet tribute to your grandmeres.
Probably not for this time but a favourite baby project of mine is the 6-hour quilt. It’s made completely on the serger and can be washed & dried in the machine a zillion times.
Hope your busy workweek goes well.
Thank you Janine! I think that’s the best part of the Pivot and Slide method - not cutting, taping, tracing!
That bag is amazing Izzy! It looks incredible! And your new top is fabulous! No wonder you’re happy with it!
Patterns4 Pirates Teeny Beanie is a free pattern for a little hat with a few variations. And Waves & wild lightening leggings are great and also free! I’ve made both loads and they’re super simple and super quick and theyre great for using up jersey scraps! Happy sewing !
Omg that doughnut fabric is amazing!!! It would make amazing pjs !! The flower tencel twill is stunning!!
What a gorgoeus name!!!! Just beautiful!
Thank you so much! I’m definitely going to check out that beanie pattern.
Love your makes! Your Chorus top is beautiful and I'm loving your bag! It's 🥰
Thank you! 💞
Izzy- what a productive week!! That green 💚is so springy and pretty on you- you did great with the chorus pattern- I have some like that and they kind of scare me so I didn’t rush to buy it- plus I’m working through all the patterns I got during their sale😂 The travel bag is awesome love the paw prints 🐾 pulls! You find the nicest fabrics too! I hope the pivot and slide works for you- it was so much easier than cutting up the pattern ❤ LOVE the name for the dress form - so special! My memere was from Canada and she sewed on a treadle machine! Good luck with the baby sewing! So many suggestions! ❤❤❤
Thank you Mary! Aren’t those paw print pulls amazing? I’ll report back on the pivot and slide method!
Great week Izzy, you put me to shame. Only 1 blouse for me, the sagebrush. Came out really cute. I did do some social things that kept me from sewing and got a new car. Back in the sewing room today. Nice bag, so pretty and useful and your green top is fabulous. I make a similar one Liesl & Co, Easton Cowl neck. Does not hang down as low in the front. Wonder if the construction is the same. I have made several. Burb cloths are so useful and can be so much fun to make. I have made many, usually I give a stack of 6. I use a bath towel for the back and a fun quilting fabric or the front If it’s a boy you can make a Pee Pee Tepee. Have made many of those. I’m sure you can whip them up on Sunday in no time. Include a couple packages of Baby Wipes and that will be perfect.Perfect name for the dress form. Have a great weekend!
One blouse in a week is really good!! In all honesty, my Gilbert top was almost done, the quilt took only about 90 mins to baste and the Chorus literally takes a couple of hours to cut and sew. The bag did take 2 or 3 evenings. Thank you so much for the suggestions!!
The chorus top is beautiful! That color on you is so vibrant. Also the new fabric you got is amazing. Your summer/travel wardrobes are going to just glow on you!
I like the Ellie and Mac grow with me pajamas (free pattern) and they’re pretty quick to whip up. I appreciated getting things in a slightly bigger size (anything between 9-18m). If you do make any clothing or pajamas, I recommend writing the size on a scrap piece of the fabric and sewing it in somewhere as a tag. I didn’t think to do this for Brady’s clothes until about 6 months ago when I realized it’ll be a pain to sort out the sizes of the mama mades if I use them for a future kiddo.
Thank you Erin! Good tip re: the size label. And yeah, I’m going to make something for at least 6 months, but maybe more like 9 or 12. I remember when I had my son, I got a ton of newborn clothes and he never fit in them! He was born at 10 lbs and was 23 inches long. he looked like a 3 month old baby at birth 🤣 Would have been helpful to have a few 6 months clothes!!
I love the tribute you paid to your grandmeres with the name for your dress form! Love the Chorus top, too, the Gilbert top, the quilt backing, the new fabric and the bag to take to the island - a very good week, indeed. I have made burp cloths from cute flannel as a baby gift that were greatly appreciated and easy - lots of tutorials online but in general just make big ones, maybe cut big rectangles out of flannel with flannel inside as well for absorbency, them, stitch around and you don't even need to finish the edges as just like those flannel "rag" quilts, they will kind of finish themselves with some washing and usage. If you want them to look neater, you can certainly turn them inside out, of course and topstitch around the edge to take care of the opening where you turned them.
Thank you so much! Great suggestions!
That green on you is just gorgeous, that would make me happy too 💚
Wow you were busy this week and well done for achieving everything. Some gorgeous new pieces of fabric, you have a great eye for quality. Quick baby things I've made are the wet bags from a fat quarter, no pattern needed, some triangular popper bibs using muslin or double gauze and I also did something else which I'll send you a picture of! Have a great weekend and thanks for the pattern review ❤ xx
Thank you Carole! I’ve gotten so many amazing recommendations now I really don’t know what to make 🤣 I’m going to need more babies to sew for!! Xx 💞
Hi there Izzy, try Patterns 4 Pirates (p4p patterns). On page 5 of their freebies, you will find a good few baby patterns - did I say they are free? They are terrific patterns too that can be whipped up in no time. Good luck😄😄
Thank you! I checked out the freebies from P4P and they look fabulous. I’m sure I have a ton of jersey scraps I could use for these.
Awesome productivity this week!!! Great results. Gorgeous fabrics too. Lovely tribute to your crafty grandmothers. Have a a good week and happy sewing as ever. 😊 Lynne
thank you so much Lynne! Have a good weekend!
Awesome makes. Receiving blankets are great. Best wishes for the upcoming week. Absolutely love that bag. I loved Nancy Zeiman. Back in the video days I bought her series. They are long gone but I have a couple of her box on my Kindle. Your fabric choices are wonderful.
Thank you so much! I remember watching Nancy Zieman on PBS a long time ago.
I’ve used NZ pivot & slide, quite a bit. As a pear shape, pivoting works well on loose styles; however, for a recent fitted Big 4 pattern dress I found that doing an FBA prior to pivoting did the trick. Just pivot & slide only adds horizontally. That’s my experience, anyway. I’ve only used it for bodices. Love your green top! 😊-Deborah
Thank you so much Deborah! Now that you mention it, I wonder how it would work for a full bust adjustment. Maybe you do the pivot and slide and then add length?
I am slowly trying to return to sewing garments, but due to so many garment you tubes was becoming discouraged with the many different alterations that each garment sewer shows. Purchased the Sew Fit program, not happy with that. When you showed Nancy Zieman's book my light bulb went off. How had I forgot about that book, as Nancy was my sewing teacher learning directly from her in seminars. I can't wait to try her FBA (on page 25). Thank you for all your videos and I look forward to each of your postings. Like your Aeroplane bag, I use By Anne patterns for bags that I have made and hope to make the By Anne Duffle bag soon.
I'm definitely going to try her FBA method. I have a few Big 5 patterns in my stash and I'd love to try her method for fitting one of them. Have fun with the duffle bag. I liked making the Aeroplane Bag.
Wonderful makes . Love the shirt and the new bag. I Love to sew for babies. My favorite shower gift is pjs in a bigger size. I use Alex and Anna pajamas from Peek a boo patterns. I make in a size 18 months. They get so many tiny clothes . I get so many compliments because I use a high quality cotton Lycra . Usually they ask me to make more .
Good point about making a larger size for babies. Thank you for the recommendations!
Wow! So many great makes Izzy! Love all of your fabrics. I had the same issue on the chorus and asked for help on the LN pattern Facebook group. I had tried everything except one person said she actually quit understitching and actually stitches in the ditch in place of the understitching and has had great success. I’m going to try that on my next one. I’ll let you know if it helps. I will have to get some is that jersey from the fabric snob! Absolutely love the drape it gives on your top! Your bag is gorgeous and I’m sure will get a lot of use! What a great tribute to your Grandmothers! Simple receiving blanket are always a quick and easy sewn too. Flannel and a hem. Or do double sided like someone suggested and no hem, just turn and topstitch the edges. I look forward to seeing your input on Nancy’s pattern fitting method. I will have to look into that more. Have a very productive weekend and week!❤
Oh cool - yes, definitely let me know if the stitching in the ditch works better than understitching. The Fabric Snob has some really good fabric. I love their luxe collections too.
@@dizzyquiltsandsews I just placed my first order. I picked up several items😊 unfortunately I can buy a lot quicker than I sew.
Hi Izzy! Thanks for the shout out!!! I’m so glad I inspired you! I have so many comments but I’ve had long day and can barely see straight - I’ll come back when I can see to type😂
Puperita patterns have great baby through childrens patterns. They are based in Australia and reasonably priced pdf patterns.
Awesome! Thank you so much for the recommendation!
I'm sat here in the UK sewing fur lined polo necks and velour trousers ... our summer is a washout. I think its my fault I dusted off my shorts patterns 😂
🤣 You might have jinxed it! It’s been really cool here too. I’ve had long jogging bottoms, a tee and a hoodie on all weekend. But at least the sun is shining. The weather app is now saying the temps are going to climb to 35 degrees Celcius this coming week! What the heck?! I really hope the UK gets warmer weather and some sunshine soon… 🌞
Grandmothers are a blessing 🙏❤💟 On the green top your wearing all i would ask did you clip well so the curve really lies flat around your neck? Nice acquisitions of fabrics and book. Enjoy using your new tote on the weekend ☺️🩷
They really are blessings! I did clip on the curve around the neck but maybe I didn’t do enough? I usually clip every 1/2 inch or so. 💞
@@dizzyquiltsandsews that sounds like plenty. 🤔
Wow Izzy, the bag is beautiful 🤩, love the teal color 😊😊. Your Chorus top is so pretty, the green suits you so well. Did you feel that the armsye was too high? I don’t see the pulling on you as I had in mine 🤔. Could it be the catching of the facing? I will have to test it again 👍👍. On my next one I’ll change the back facing, I really didn’t like that. If you don’t have the time, just go to a store and buy something for the baby shower, nice and easy 🤣🤣. Beautiful name for your dress form❤❤.
Thank you so much Karen! The armsye was fine on the Chorus and yeah, I think it might be facing catching because at first I had exactly the same pulling you did. It was very tempting to just go to the store. I came down from the island later than I had hoped and ended up making two bibs. They’re cute, but not exactly the gift I had hoped to make.
Check out the “teeny beanie”’. It’s a free pattern and fast sew. I like Peek-a-boo patterns and Waves and Wild and Patterns for Pirates. I’ve made all my baby clothes from these patterns. Enjoy!
Thank you! I looked at the P4P freebies and they really do have a few really cute baby patterns.
I enjoy sewing the Oliver + S Lullaby Layette Set pattern. They turn out beautifully! There is not a beanie or bootie included in this one, but the garments are so very sweet. 😘
Thanks for the info Lynn! 💞
