Whilst most of your fabrics are not to my taste, I adore watching your eyes light up in glee when you show them off. Forget your age (so old lol) and continue to be the age you feel, even if it is only preteen at times. My husband is, cough, cough, and is often only eight, and I adore him for it, so don't change, if you want extra holes for earrings go for it. ( I give you permission lol)
❤️
Hi Ruan! So glad you liked the yellow summer tote bag (I thought it was so you!) and so pleased to hear that you still use your colour swatches following your colour analysis consultation. Toni x

For my 50th birthday, I got my ears pierced again, because they'd closed up, and I figured it was well past time to fix that. Life is too damn short not to do the things you want to do. You've got a couple of us oldies here cheering you on. 😉 Those earrings are so cute; I'll have to check out her shop.
Really like all your fabrics, but I looove the sequin fabric. Gorgeous colors in that.
Thank you!
Never too old for more piercings or tattoos! I’m 52 and have recently got 2 more piercings in each ear and my cartilage pierced on one so I now have 9 spaces for earrings 😂 I’m also planning the next tattoo. Loved the sequin sleeves jumper! I may have to copy that idea.
Go you!
Perhaps take a look at the Cozi Jacket from Pattern Scout -- she shows a sample sewn in a Sherpa fabric. It is quite cropped in the pics, but I'm sure you could add to the length. Lots of fun new purchases! ❤
I was going to suggest the same! I have a similar fabric and am currently working on that pattern. So far so good!
I will do. Thank you!
Ohooo - that emerald green coating fabric! You’re going to LOVE the Pietra Pants. I’ve made at least 40+ pairs of pants and shorts since I bought that pattern. (20 + of them were in a larger size). Seriously though - you’ll love making them and wearing them. The pocket is genius. Go for it!
Oh wow! 🤩
Hi, Ruan! Trousers terrify me, too.I have the Pietra Pants pattern also, but haven't make it yet. My extremely flat derrière, big belly, and thin legs make them difficult to fit. I've declared (to no one but myself and some of my virtual sewing friends who don't even know they're my friends) this my 'Year of Trousers" with the hope that by the end of the year I'll have at least one pattern figured out to make repeatedly. I hope you get your slip dress made for your holidays. That fabric is BEAUTIFUL! X
You got this 💪🏼
I think that black jumper with sparkly sleeves will be fabulous - so pretty. ❤
I hope so 🤞🏼
I'm in my 70's and wear 2 earrings in each ear. I love the sparkle! That black sequin top is giving me ideas!❤
😊😊
I 💜 the pietra pants! Made 3 pairs of shorts. Great fit, no alterations. Shorts have separate pattern pieces to trousers but well worth doing first! Love the flat front and cool pockets!
Oh that’s interesting! I like the fact they have separate pattern pieces 👍🏼
Love your choices … I used a similar metallic jersey for a festive top and I made a fibre mood soroya top to wear over a cami ( took around 1.5 m ) … the house is still twinkling 😂. The idea of a sequin sleeved top is great and I might “ borrow “ this one . I think Mimi g made a spectacular emerald green coat which is lush ! The pietra is a great pattern, I’ve made it up in various versions half a dozen times including using the pattern hacks to reduce/ remove the elastic and pop in a zip. The pattern comes together really fast and is comfortable to wear so I’ll be def making it again . Thankyou for your vlogs always a good watch
Ooh love the Soraya idea!
I've just ordered 3 lots of Mendip Maker buttons!! Love the idea of them being recycled!!!
Aww you won’t be disappointed. They’re lovely xx
Love your channel. You always make me laugh. You might like Pattern Scout Cozi Jacket for your new sherpa. Take care. 😊
Oh thank you! ☺️
I enjoy a good splurge! Love the earrings and the buttons are fabulous. I just made the Nicks blouse and I definitely needed to size down two sizes! I also have the Pietra pants pattern. I am planning on making the shorts first too. I love the idea of the black sweater with the sequin arms. Look at you being all organized for next Christmas.😄❤
He he. I know Jane! 🎅🏼
You are more than welcome - love your vlogs!!
Thanks again! X
I got my first tattoo at 50, so you are never too old 😊 get those ears pierced 😅 x I have the pietra pants and they were a relatively easy make, but I made them way too big (it was early on in my sewing journey) just research the size before making. I will do them again and will look closer at the size I will be making too 😊
Ooh I will do thank you. I have two tattoos already but have been thinking of another for about two years 🤣
@theyorkshiresewgirl well if you are looking for a great artist, I know one 😉 my daughter is a fabulous tattooists 😍 I'm so proud of her ❤️
@@jacmary6580 oh wow! Really? That’s amazing. I just can’t find anything that I’m totally in love with if you know what I mean!
Oooo sparkly jersey 🤩
Hey Ruan,
Mum told me she had watched you and I needed to get on and watch.
I got accidentally put on a fabric banned. You should watch why I was banned.
LOVE your Sherpa, I’m gonna check out what NZ has. Ban is finished on the 14 of Feb 😂😂
Watch out NZ fabric stores.
Love the green oh and the sequins too. That top will look AWESOME on you!
Great haul…. Bring it on 💖🦩💕
Ooh need to go watch. I’m so behind with watching vlogs at the moment 🙈
@@theyorkshiresewgirl I hear ya, mum came in while you were on the screen telling me about your haul. She LOVES the green coat fabric
Wonderful pattern choices 😊
Thank you! 😊
My mum had her ears pierced again at 60 so there’s no age limit 😂 go for it! I love the jumper you have on, it’s such a nice print and colour ❤
Oh thank you!
I really like the Nicks pattern, I’ve made the dress and have another cut out, it does come up big so sizing down sounds good. I love wearing mine so swishy.
Looking forward to the Stitch festival too, my first one
I can’t wait for the show!
Have you thought about getting a second hole put in your ear? Then you can wear studs as well as danglies. It's quite fun!
Yes that’s what I’m thinking of but don’t know if I’m too scared 🤣
Fab selection of earrings 🤩
Wow! That emerald fabric🎉
Luv the sequin sweatshirt..could be a great "going out" shirt for all winter 😊
Totally!
Hi Ruan, be careful when sizing down the Nicks dress as you may find the shoulders too tight if you go too small. I have broad shoulders and used the correct size yoke (10) for my measurements BUT used the size 4 back and front so that there was less ease across the gathers, and it worked perfectly. Used the size 10 sleeve as I also normally need to add bicep width, but took some of the width out on the way down to the wrist. Very happy with the decisions I made on the sizing.
Thank you for the tips x
A great haul Ruan - a lot of thought out into what you wanted to make so money well spent! I did some hauling myself and it was just patterned viscoses - like I don’t already have enough of those!
He he. You can never beat a lovely patterned viscose though 😍
Thank you so much for sharing the buttons 😊 Im sure you'll find a great make to incorporate them into
Live seeing all your fabric purchases too 😁
Thank you for the lovely gift! I’ll have to make sure I do them justice 😍
@TheMendipMaker....she's SUCH an enabler!!! 3 sets winging their way to Sunny Nunny ☺️
@@niawilshaw3522 he he. Sorry not sorry 🤪
Hi Ruan, I love the patterns you purchased - they look like excellent base patterns you will be able to make up for many years to come. Also love your plans for the black jumper with sequin sleeves - this will suit you perfectly. 🌸
Thank you ☺️
I like the idea of a black jumper with sequin sleeves!!
🤩
I had my ears done a second time for my 69th birthday for the same reason as you your fabrics are so beautiful
🙌🏼
You look great today!😊
Oh thank you!
You may wish to look at pound fabrics, they have a knit fabric in tiger stripes, 3 colours @3.95 pm, and they have a Sherpa fleece in leopard print in brown or grey. Thought of you when I saw them.
Oh yes I’ve already been tempted with those fabrics 🤣
So glad you liked the bag, I use mine all the time and have made lots as gifts now, such a great tutorial from So Let’s Sparkle With Sam xx
I love it! Thank you again 😊
Love the pietra shorts. They were an easy make. The back is elasticated so flattering. I intend to make the trousers. You will love them.
Ooo we have made a few spring in London tops and we love them. So easy and comfy. We will making many more. Great scrap buster xxx
Yes..can’t wait to make both patterns!
Never before have I been influenced so quickly to buy fabric! The sequins from Fabric Godmother to make something for next Christmas!!! I went for the Magenta and Jade colourway though! Pretty much want to copy the entire top you talked about!!! Which day are you going to the Stitch Festival?
Yay! We can be twins 👯♀️ Me and the girls are there on the Saturday. Are you? x
💖 sparkles, fun!!!
Omg I love the sparkly sleeve jumper idea! Can you pls remind me in, like,November please XD
🤣👍🏼
Lovely purchases. The pietra Pants I bet you'll find them really comfy. I made some up as PJ bottoms to try them out as I also was dubious. So comfy. Buttons were gorgeous too. Thanks for sharing. You are never too old for anything. My mantra is I shall grow old disgracefully!😊😘
Love your mantra!
I really enjoy all of your videos and thank you for introducing me to Rachel's channel, also.
You are so welcome!
I’d ‘sew’ make the Dani in the Sherpa! Beautiful!! Get that sequin jumper made, you could wear it valentines 💘. Lovely vlog as always 😊
He he. I’ll be away for valentines so don’t think I’ll be able to make it in time. I’ll just have to stare at it lovingly for a while 😂
Lovely earrings! My favorite are the dangly flowers. So pretty 😊. Your fabrics are so you. All sparkly and fun 🤩. I like paper patterns and I do trace mine so I can reuse them. I do have PDF patterns but I don’t like printing them out. They use a lot of ink and paper. There are no print store near me that print up sewing patterns. I’m sewing the Pietra shorts and the Cielo top. I’m excited because they are my first sewing projects in a long time. The pockets on the Pietra are a little confusing. Michelle from the Sewing Bunny has a really good sew along on the Pietra pants. Yep, I have to declutter my patterns and fabrics and yarn and and and 😂. How did I get all this stuff 🤦! Thank you for sharing. Your friend Diane ❤
Ooh good luck Diane 😊
Loved that vlog Ruan, so many beautiful fabrics. It’s lovely to have a splurge isn’t it? ❤️😊
It really is!
Wow, those glittery fabrics were amazing & look forward to seeing those made up later in the year. Such variety in the other fabrics you bought. When I saw your buttons I went immediately & bought the green & turquoise ones, so thank you for that shout out. ❤
Oh I’m so glad. Hope you like the buttons. They’re so nice 😊
Great video as always.. Lots of great fabrics.. I love the idea of your Christmas jumper..all black with sequined sleeves.. thats the best idea ever.. Your sherpa jacket will be wonderful.. Oh I just loved everything. Have fun sewing..you don't have time to buy more fabric.. You have to sew for your holidays.. haha.
Ha ha. True!
Hi Ruan, it's so nice to see that I am not the only one who have enjoyed the sales😂. I really love the christmas sweater idea. Your fabrics are beautiful , can't wait to see what you will sew!😊
Thank you. I just couldn’t resist!
Oh love the fabrics and the patterns the sparkle sleeves on the jumper sounds gorgeous
Thank you so much!
I love the nicks blouse.
Great choices Ruan! Can't wait to see these made up
Thanks honey x
Awesome video, loved ALL your purchases! Thank you : )
You are so welcome!
Great vlog as always love the green fabric too ❤❤
Thank you!! 😊
The sequins - my goodness! 😍😍😍
They’re beaut aren’t they!! 😍😍
Enjoyed watching your haul. Love the Christmas idea🎉
Thanks so much!
Love all the earrings and the green coat fabric is amazing. 🧶🌈🍓💙
Thank you! 😊
Love, love, love that sequin sleeve top idea. Going to have a go at the Petra shorts this year too. Great video as always Ruan
Yay! Thank you!
Ooo love the earrings lol . For the fur fabric how about the Clef Coat by Love Notions . I'm planning on making one in a check fabric i have but I think that the fur would be fantastic in it . I always like your hauls it's like your giving permission to buy fabric lol 🤣🤣🤣 When questioned I just say Ruan made me do it . I love your plans and i'm looking forward to seeing them .
Ha ha. I don’t mind being to blame 🤪
LOVE LOVE LOVE that jumper on you 😊
Thank you!!
Such lovely fabrics. I resisted looking in the sales as I need to clear a bit of my planned makes before inspiring myself with other things🤣
That is exactly what I should have done 🤪🤪
Sequins 🤩
I’m not buying any fabric for now. I have a good stash and have been making loads from it. I just delete the fabric shop e mails. Looking through my stash I realise I have so many nice fabrics it makes me realise I don’t need any more for probably the rest of the year. Keep looking through your stash when tempted. The colours of the sequin fabric and the sherpa look so good on you x
Good on ya. At least 50% of my makes are from my stash so I’m ok with that 👍🏼
Great vlog, Ruan ❤️🩷❤️🩷. Gorgeous fabrics and what a surprise the sherpa colourway was. You’ll suit it of course! Not wanting to wish my/your life away but looking forward to seeing your black sequin top 😂, love love love. I’ve put myself on a fabric ban until spring…..yes I do have that much in my stash that I need to use. It’s all lovely fabric so there’s no excuse! 😊
Good luck 🤞🏼
Oh my word that sequin fabric 😍😍😍😍 I have that gold fabric… also in blue and silver 😂😂 and it’s really easy to work with and washes well, but not a massive amount of stretch! It’s so pretty though 😊😊
Oh do you? Is it ok your grid? Off for a nosey 👀
@@theyorkshiresewgirl yup! I made a Lenne top in the blue 💙
Thanks Ruan. I’m petrified of trousers too. Going to try and overcome that this year.
We can do it 🤞🏼
Have a look at the ClefCoat from Love Notions. I'm just about finished it. Just need to install the zipper that I don't have in my stash. And I'm making a vest version out of a pre quilted fabric. But so far I'm liking it and looking to finishing it up this week. Going to the fabric store for JUST notions is always fraught with DANGER so I've been putting it off. ❤
Ooh ok will check it out!
Pietra was the 1st pair I made as a beginner, I made my recommended size for my measurements and found them big in the waist, just tightened the elastic and np 👍 drafted for 5ft 6" so also had to add 4" as I'm 5ft 10 ❤❤
Oh that’s good to know. Thank you!
I can't wait for next Christmas now Ruan 😜👌💖🥰😘
🤣👍🏼
You can make it!!!!!
😊
Beautiful haul, Ruan.
Love your pattern choices.
Re jacket McCalls has a lovely jacket pattern perfect for Sherpa. I don't remember the number from top of my head. I will dm you number.
For your faux leather, get the leather needles and Teflon foot. It makes sewing it easier.
Thank you lovely 🥰
Ooh. Loved this! Great to see what you got in the sales. Do you think the fleece fabric is too thick for the Arlo track jacket? I think Chelsea from Friday Pattern company made one in a fleece once. Looked great. :)
Yes I have been looking at that one Karen!
I bought the black & cream Sherpa from FG it's gorgeous, I have only a metre so will need to think carefully what to make possibly a Jarrah as I have some ribbing ❤
Ooh that would be so snuggly!
The second hole I pierced myself at age 15. Is still there after not using it for 31 years. I am 53 now. I put an earring in a few weeks ago. Yours still might be there. I also got my first tattoo at 45. After I had my 13 baby!
Omg I tried mine after reading your comment and I managed to get earrings in the second hole! Thank you! I would never have tried otherwise 🙌🏼
I am so glad it worked!
I am so glad it worked!
I am so glad it worked!
I am so glad it worked!
I have had to Google FOMO before 😂😂😂
Hi Ruan thanks for a great video. Quick question - can you use same fabric for neckband, cuffs and hem for jarah or do you need to get ribbing in addition to main fabric please? Thanks ❤
It depends on the stretch of your fabric to be honest. I used the same fabric for the neckband on mine and it worked out ok. I didn’t have cuffs as I did the split sleeve and I didn’t have a hem band as I did the curved hem x
Have you seen the new Clef Jacket / coat from Love Notions? This would be perfect in your fleece ❤
Lots of people have said the same so I must go and have a look 👀
The butterflies fabric will look great with the black butterfly ear rings Did you realise it was butterflies?😁I like your purchases! I’m going to look at the earrings as really like the selection you had. I have purchased patterns twice as rarely trace such as the Southbank, the Bettine ( which I no longer make) but I’m trying to make the effort to trace new ones as they are so expensive. I don’t think it’s mean to say that. When I first started sewing as a teen ager I was very careful when buying patterns. It’s only since I’ve been on Instagram in recent years and seduced by the hype that I’ve bought too many 😳I’m intending to destash a lot that I’ll never get round to. I don’t intend to buy fabric then went into JL and bought 3 jerseys that were reduced to £4.50 a metre so got them as I always find the ones I have (usually 2 metres )are not enough. So I bought 3 metres of each! It was silly as my sewing room is over full. I like your sweatshirt and have its twin in the hacked linden. I don’t find it warm enough so wear a base layer under. I love this fabric 😊
I can so relate to all of this 😂. Especially the bargain fabric!
When is that beautiful mug going to be for sale? 😂 ❤❤❤ We need one!
🤣
I use those plastic envelopes for pdf patterns. They work well for me. How do you store all your earrings? Love all your beautiful fabrics
Yes I think it’ll work better 🤞🏼. I have an earring stand 😊
Love your channel. Can you please tell me your hair colour? I love it and think I need it on my head 🙂 thank you in advance ♥
Oh thank you ☺️
It’s the Schwarzkopf Live Color XXL HD Intense Colour Permanent Coloration 43, Red Passion
x
Loooove the sequin sleeved jumper. I was going to ask if you could make early enough so we could see that one in time for us lot to make in time for Christmas. Buuut then I thought how’s about a 3 or 4 part tutorial from woe to so us lot could sew along with you in segments? I think that would be lots of fun. 🌹❤️ Just an idea 😅
Love that idea! I’ll try to work that in. Maybe a live sewalong would be good fun too x
@@theyorkshiresewgirl a live sew along is a lovely idea but I’m in Australia and won’t be able to join in darn it!🤦♀️
xXX👍👍👍
Piercings??? Tattoos??? Who is this person? 😂😂 reminds me, I have something to show you both tonight
🤣🤣
Hy ruan i am 66 and i have 3 holes in my ear.i like your ear rings❤❤
❤️
Oooh.. the pietra pants! I’ve got 6 of the narrow legs in a variety of colours, and only 1 of the wide leg. So far. The wide leg is smart as it is longer. As a long legged girl, add length to the leg of the narrow leg above the knee and below rather than just below. The pockets on these pants are amazing!
Oh thank you for the tip 👍🏼
