I love seeing all your purchases! And your destashes! You keep doing you =) I'm across the pond, but I recently checked out a digital magazine copy of Simply Sewing from my local library, and lo and behold, there you are! Not sure how I missed you talking about this since I watch all your videos, but it was a lovely way to start my day. I definitely know what you meant when you spoke about losing your sewjo, so it's lovely to see you've got that inspiration and motivation to sew again. Looking forward to seeing all your new makes!

Good for you going to First for Fabrics and Knitting and Stitching Exhibition and buying yourself some fabric. You did brilliant with your de-stash and it’s a good reminder how our style changes so de stash and buy yourself something nice as a treat. I recently treated myself to some deadstock silk viscose for an occasional wear festive top and I can’t wait to make it and feel good. After all life is short ❤ pleased to hear you mention Christmas PJs, it only seems like five minutes since you talked about it last year. Look forward to seeing all your makes ❤ and by the wear, I love a French knot. Good luck ❤
I loved the show - first time and travelled from Oz for it. FG stand was amazing. Had to buy an extra suitcase to get home!! Your haul is a ripper. Love your fringe xx
Love the shorter hairdo😍You have bought some beautiful fabric there, great to see you full of enthusiasm again. I really enjoyed the Knitting & Stitching Show, especially meeting up with other lovely sewing people. I was really strict with myself about buying as I had to carry home on train but then I found bargains on the Rainbow Fabrics remnant stand🤦♀
I used cord a couple of years ago to make the I Am patterns Cassiopee dress. So lux once it’s washed and worn, warm and special feeling. A colour I rarely wear… a deep plum/fuschia. Made it the length of the pattern which is short on me, but I wear thick tights with it. Can wear it with or without a belt. Hope you love your cord dress too!
Your excitement over your purchases is infectious Ruan, lovely chatty vlog. Your fabrics are gorgeous and I look forward to seeing the finished results. So glad you’ve got your sewjo back. The hair looks great. Love the hoodie you are wearing. Have a great week.
Love your hair cut and fringe, probably just takes a bit of getting used to. I bought the plum red cord from 1st for Fabrics, going to try to make the Mitchell trousers!! Eeek. 😬Love that Zebra print fabric too. And the wools from Rainbow fabrics, can't wait to see what you make, and glad that normal sewjo has returned ❤❤❤
Loved seeing all your purchases! Beautiful buttons and labels. It feels good to treat yourself . the puffer fabric is fabulous. Your hair is lovely and the Page hoodie really suits you❤️ I need to make another Page !
Gorgeous fabrics as always and I cannot wait to see your makes 😍! Would have loved to bump into you at the show but once again missed you by a day lol glad you had a good time, I definitely did as well - just bought too much fabric as always 😅
Like your new hairstyle Ruan. Its more a grown up fringe now. I like it a lot. Great haul. Love all your goodies. Ahhhh I'm in heaven right now as all the high street is chocka with animal prints, my absolute favourite!
I love the fringe and the newer length it suits you either way. I chopped about 8 inches off my hair (gradually) over a week then cut it into a graduated bob. I have curly hair and I am a hairdresser so it was easy. Its good to lob a load off now and again, I will grow mine back down just for the fun of it lol XX
Great haul Ruan, looking forward to seeing what you make. I always have sewjo issues with the change of season, but it doesn't last long. A nice skirt in that leopard denim would be nice too, like the new tilly and the buttons one 😊 happy sewing x
Funnily enough I don’t 🙈. I think because my weight fluctuates I tend to have a clear out quite often. I have quite a bit in my wardrobe that doesn’t fit me 😣
Love your hair! I will also look like a Christmas tree as my last vlog was all dark green for a Stella hoodie and joggers loungewear set. But I’ll be a floppy Christmas tree cos mine is a lightweight jersey 😋❤
Hair is worth a cut back every now and then, it makes hair look so much healthier and like the others said, it really suits you. One day I will hear ‘First for Fabrics’ rather than ‘thirsty fabrics’ 🤣
Your Giselle coat will be amazing, Ruan! Can’t wait to see the reveal of that. I’m really enjoying Skill Share, which I bought through your link before. Love your shorter hair and fringe. 😊😘
Oh blimey Ruan! You did treat yourself to some marvellous things. Love the little label folder. As for the pink coating fabric, this might be ideal for the Closet Core Phoebe coat which is brand new this week. Can't wait to see the animal puffer fabric all made up. I'm intrigued. Tomorrow is loud shirt day at work (I work in early childhood education and care) and so of course I don't have a loud shirt so have to make one and I'm thinking of using some purple and black zebra print knit (so I can turn it into a pj top). I'm also really wanting to make Rick pants for work but more importantly a denim pair to wear to see Take That on the 30th of this month when they get to Perth (in Australia, not Scotland) and I want to use some pink, white and light blue striped rib knit for a t shirt as they are the colours for the "This Life" emblem. All this has to happen this weekend as next weekend I'm off doing my first aid for work and only two weeks until the concert yay! Have to say love the hair cut and the fringe isn't too short, just shaped differently and it's lovely.
That’s just brilliant Ruan. Thoroughly enjoyed it. What a lovely idea going to see Jenny, such a great shop. There’s a lovely little fabric shop in Ulverston too, which you’ll probably go through on the way to Barrow, it’s called Catkin & Scraps. Xx
Great haul - you do enjoy your leopard print and even I [who own NO animal print whatsoever] am tempted by that grey with bight spots... I wonder if you would like a jeans skirt with your denim - the Style Arc Tommie jeans is very stylish or perhaps a shorter A line style like the Friday pattern company Bernadette skirt. Or a parachute style like Style Arc Richmond Utility....Or a stylish rainmac maybe even a cropped version.
Wow that was a lot. I was shopping vicariously with you. Your hair looks lovely. The animal print might be nice as the Thea’s as go really well with the coat fabric from what I could see. Happy sewing ! 😊
Love a new notion! Hadn’t seen the flexible hem thingie, I had to buy one. As I am in the US I was able to get it from Etsy with free shipping! Also, love the hair❤
I really enjoyed seeing all your new patterns. I bought the Kaya pinafore after seeing your recent vlog. I’m not usually a pinafore wearer but I liked the deep V and thought it would be a useful item for autumn. Great hair but I agree about your fringe.
Love your hair! Yes I care about your hair. I care about everyone’s hair in fact now that I think about it. I love that burgundy cord! I have been sewing up a storm. A couple Style Arc Lila tired skirts in fallish rayon fabric and 5 (yes 5!) turtle neck Barbie tops from Gertie’s pattern club. I needed some basics and Barbie is quick. I was a member of Gertie’s pattern club but I’m not currently. I remember my mom teaching me how to do French knots when I was around 10. Of course her knots were spectacular and mine were funky, to say the least. I’m betting you will soon have them mastered.

Great idea x

Like your new hairstyle Ruan. Its more a grown up fringe now. I like it a lot. Great haul. Love all your goodies. Ahhhh I'm in heaven right now as all the high street is chocka with animal prints, my absolute favourite!
Me and you both!!! 🐾
The vali dress/blouse in the fabric godmother print is going to be so so gorgeous !!!! That is my dream make, so jealous xxxx
Aww thanks. Such a lovely combination isn’t it!
Hello Ruan, first thought when you appeared on the screen "she's lovely !". Great hair cut seen from France. ❤
😊 thank you x
Love your hair
Thank you x
I love the fringe and the newer length it suits you either way. I chopped about 8 inches off my hair (gradually) over a week then cut it into a graduated bob. I have curly hair and I am a hairdresser so it was easy. Its good to lob a load off now and again, I will grow mine back down just for the fun of it lol XX
I’ll probably do the same 🤣
Thank yup for the inspiration! Love all of your fabrics! Look forward to seeing your makes! ❤
Glad you like them!
Your hair looks great. Your fabrics are gorgeous
Thank you!

It's such a cute little place!
@@theyorkshiresewgirl I want to go too!! xx
The hair looks cute. I have been debating near same.
Thank you ☺️
What a great haul and love your haircut!
Thank you!! 😊
Great haul Ruan, looking forward to seeing what you make. I always have sewjo issues with the change of season, but it doesn't last long. A nice skirt in that leopard denim would be nice too, like the new tilly and the buttons one 😊 happy sewing x
Yes maybe it is the change of seasons!
Hi Ruan, I think you hair looks great, I like the fringe, just like mine. Thank you so much for all your vlogs xx
Thank you so much!
Fringe looks good, a lot softer on your face.
Thank you ☺️
Fabulous purchases Ruan & your hair looks GORGEOUS ♥️😻
Aww thanks lovely xx
I can't do French knots at all. I just use beads instead, love the hair. You must have an enormous wardrobe
Funnily enough I don’t 🙈. I think because my weight fluctuates I tend to have a clear out quite often. I have quite a bit in my wardrobe that doesn’t fit me 😣
Your hair is lovely, you always look beautiful.
Oooo fabric!! Fabulous purchases 😍😍😍
Thank you so much 🤩
I treated myself!!! 😂love it
😝
Wowzers! Quite the haul!! Lovely stuff ❤
Right?! 🤣
I think it is a new season and you are getting ready. The haul looks good.

Ooo finding that tape was cosmic! Love the idea of the recycle yard. Oh the strawberry person is adorable. 😍
Right?! 🍓
@@theyorkshiresewgirl totally 🍓
I really love your new haircut, it really suits you.
Oh thank you!
I like your new bangs!!!
Thank you!
Love your hair! I will also look like a Christmas tree as my last vlog was all dark green for a Stella hoodie and joggers loungewear set. But I’ll be a floppy Christmas tree cos mine is a lightweight jersey 😋❤
Ha ha. We’ll be twins. I’m half way through your vlog and saw you had green jersey too 🤣
@@theyorkshiresewgirl great minds Ruan 🤭🤣
Love your haircut 💇♀️

thank you x
Such a good haul! Love the new haircut, too. You look lovely!

If you can't get the hang a french knots, try colonial knots they're a little easier. And there's tons of tutorials on UA-cam for them
Ooh thank you!
The fringe and cut look great.
Thank you xx
Lovely chin wag Ruan! 😊 Beautiful purchases, I’m off to have a browse on 1st for fabrics love the sweatshirting 😍
Good luck! They have some gorgeous cosy fabrics 😍
Love your new haircut, it's fun to have a change once in a while. Have fun with it girl ❤

An alternate for French knots, grab a seed bead to add to it instead.
Good idea!

Love the new hairstyle - I think it really suits you, not as 'heavy' round your face (if you know what I mean!) and opens it up.
