    Hi Amelia. What a great series you are doing. Plus it must be lots of fun to creatively use those lovely scraps and make such beautiful garments. Thanks for doing this, Antonia (in California with no British Sewing Bee)

      Thanks so much Antonia. It is a really fun series to film and it has been a great challenge to use what I have in my stash to sew up these garments.

    I'm so glad the Celebration for Life went well, and that it's over. Grieving takes time but feeling like we sent our mom off in a way she would appreciate is soul satisfying.
    Thank you for showing how you created your Lakala pattern 😊

    Another great vlog, very enjoyable, I also wondered if the machines were set up for the sewing contestants, one thing also is that they may be using a machine they are not used to in the Sewing Bee, after all we have our preferences with regard to machines. Thank you for taking the time to make and share.

    So for Christmas, I thought I’d make half zip pullovers for my great nieces and nephews. Simple, right? Well, I had 7 to complete! I managed to complete them but I wouldn’t use the word “simple” to describe them to anyone.

    I'm really enjoying these videos and I love how you're using fabrics you have, especially when they're fabric scraps. This is such a good one for them. I think the addition of the heart for the zip was a good idea as it makes it look like the zip was black on purpose. I haven't sewn anything like that but I have the TATB stretch book and I'm planning to sew the Stella hoodie and joggers at some point 😊

    • @sewamelia
      @sewamelia  2 місяці тому +1

      Thanks so much! I am really enjoying using this as an opportunity to get some of these smaller scraps and bits of haberdashery used up! I have the stretch book too and I really want to try the Stella hoodie soon - maybe next winter!

    Lovely top for your daughter, what is the difference between a stretch needle and a ball point needle? I’ve always used ballpoint for sewing knits, but I have seen stretch needles and now you mention it. I change needles frequently and to match the fabric as I know from bitter experience it makes a huge difference to the finish. ❤

    • @sewamelia
      @sewamelia  Місяць тому +1

      Thanks so much, she loves the top so I am glad to have made it for her! I find stretch needles work really well for lycra and swimwear fabrics, or those knits with a lot of stretch. To be honest I sometimes just swap to a stretch from a ballpoint needle if the machine is skipping stitches, or not sewing the knit fabric happily and it does make a lot of difference for some fabrics.

      It is a bit hit and miss isn't it! I find it works on some knit fabrics and not others.
