Love your new tops. I look at you and remember when I was on the Alaska cruise and my (temporary) butler interrupted our conversation. You remarked “that’s the first time I’ve been interrupted by a butler”! That still cracks me up when I think about it. Love that you’re Zooming with sewing people. So fun to connect with people all over the world. How cool that you connected with someone from Norway! It’s such a gorgeous country, I’d love to go back again. Hugs to you and the family.
I am still catching up on videoes that I missed during my holidays, so I just watched this. Thank you so much for the lovely mention, and I had so much fun on our zoom chat. Can’t wait to get started on our little project! ❤️ Your stripey tee looks fab on you. Perfect colours! I hope you feel better soon.
Welcome back! Hope youd a great trip!! It was a great chat x I’m feeling miles better thanks… and I’m loving the blues of this T-shirt! Thanks a mill ❤️
Cute top and the staggered stripes at the side give it a fresh, different look. Head colds anytime are no fun, but one in the summer seems especially dreary and unfair! Pom poms are fun and festive! I have them on the edge of my summer bedspread handed down from my mother, so they are a classic, too!
Hi Mary! Thanks.. I kinda like the staggered stripes too! Win!! This summer has been a bit of a dreary one to be fair! Longing for sunny days!! Pom poms on a bed spread are a really fun idea! I’m looking forward to getting them sewn up ! Thanks very much for watching!
love the look of the cover up and pompoms, the tee shirt looks great beautiful fabric and well done with the matching of the strips, I'm still making the Pilates bags for me and my husband almost done xx
Goodness you’ve been busy as always!! Gorgeous makes and I love a Pom Pom trim, I made a festival dress from a vintage pattern in a paisley print and added a Pom Pom trim, love it!! Can’t wait to see yours 😍
Oh my gooness I love your Seraya plan with the pom pom trim, I need to make that too! Missed seeing everyone on the zoom and I really hope to make the next one. Have a lovely weekend and I hope that cold goes ❤🩹
Lovely tees, Rachel. I’m eager to see your swim coverup! The ball fringe will be really cute on the fabric you chose. I’m cutting out my first swimsuit pattern. I’m a bit fearful. 😨
Sounds like such a fun zoom call, I know Adam enjoyed it 😂. Love the blue striped T on you and of course the new blue/white fabric, you can't beat the clean look of those colours. My daughter is threatening to drag me to the cinema today to see that film with the boys😂. I do hope you get some good weather for your Summer holiday, this year has to be the worst doesn't it 😩. Have a great weekend and thanks for the video x
Ah Carole! It was just lovely!! I think blue stripes was the theme this week!! Hahaha hope you have a good cinema trip! Oh this summer has been dire! So much rain!!! Hope you’re getting some good weather and enjoy the weekend xxx
I was just asking someone if they had any videos on how to use bias binding. And you showed that you are a member and have a subscription, so I need help! Do you have a video or two up showing you how to use bias binding?
Hi Zelda! I have a video on how I bind a neckline ua-cam.com/video/UTHri4SY0Ko/v-deo.htmlsi=-wfWd9pi29_6pBil But nothing more. I use it instead of facings and on hems mainly! And the subscription is so much fun and lovely to have a little stash of binding
In addition to everything you mentioned, the jumpsuit looks great on you! It's fun watching your channel grow; however, I'm a bit concerned that the tee shirt is your new Freya.
How do you not have a stash?! I so wish I didn't, but I do. A big one--which includes upholstery fabric since I sew handbags, and home decor items, and I sew for clients who kindly just let me keep the excess (such beautiful fabrics, too, so why would I turn that down). As usual, your work is beautiful and I really like your style of clothing. I hope you are able to get the batting and thread you need to finish that lovely quilt! I remember you saying that you wear dresses to work. What is it that you do (without naming a company or anything...just a general idea)?
I’ve never had a stash 😂 I buy with a make in mind and make it up almost straightaway!! That’s great you can keep the remainder!!! I’m so glad you enjoy the vlogs! I hope I get all my bits and pieces later tonight! Yes I love wearing dresses to the office, it’s not terribly dressy but it’s a lovely opportunity to wear me made dresses! I’m a program manager at a tech company 💻
Love your top Rachel. Great colour on you! Love the hair! 😍
Thanks so much Geraldine!! My hairdresser is amazing 😂😂

Thank you lovely lady! And that evening was just so lovely!
Love the blue stripe on you!
Thank you! I think the colours are so pretty
So funny you can’t leave a project unfinished, I’m the opposite! I rarely finish a project without putting it in the naughty box for at least a week 😅
Oh that would stress me out so much 😂😂

@@TheFrenchSeams_vlog Thank you so much.
The Zoom session would so much fun! Maybe next time you could also invite 1 viewer for each of you, to also participate. Wink, wink 😉😂
Hi Rita.. that’s a really fun idea 🤔
Thanks so much for watching!
@@TheFrenchSeams_vlog 💛
How about Aurifil Variegated Thread Limoni di Monterosso for quilting?
Yes! I’ve just bought something very similar! Thanks for that Andrea
In addition to everything you mentioned, the jumpsuit looks great on you! It's fun watching your channel grow; however, I'm a bit concerned that the tee shirt is your new Freya.
Thanks so much!! I’m having lots of fun!!
Hahaha the emmie could be my summer Freya 😂😂
