7000🎉 Wahoo!! Thanks for all the time and effort! I love that your videos always come out at the end of the week when my brain can turn from work to fun stuff! Thanks for taking the time to break down that the Atlas Pouch into a step by step….it looks so cool. You build my confidence that I can do it! If you ever print your own labels, they should say “Just Do It!” 😉 I love the heart pouches for your boys! It gets some ideas churning in my mind for my grand kids! I really enjoyed the Q and A video you did for 5K. I’d enjoy another one of those! Have a lovely week with family 💗
Woohoooooo thanks so much cyndy!! I’m so glad I can start off your weekend xx
The atlas is an amazing pattern! Hope you give it a go for all your adventures!
The hearts are adorable, cannot wait to gift them!
Another q&a could be fun.. it’s on the list, thanks so much!!
Have a lovely week xx
Love your quilt for your nephew, i sometimes use a fleece blanket, from Ikea or somewhere similar, to back my children’s quilts, i don’t use wadding if i do this, but it makes them really soft and cosy. Also love your sewing station mat and the hearts pouches for your boys
Hi Angela! That’s a good tip! It would be so cozy!!
The sewing station was good fun and the heart pouches are cute.. I think I’ll have to make more! Thank you for watching!
Congrats Rachael on 7K!!! That’s amazing! Fabulous makes as always!❤❤❤
Thanks so much mary!!
Congratulations. Well deserved.
Love all your makes.
Re border - you could do narrow border in same fabric as sashing or 2 solid borders - one light and one dark. It would make the blocks pop more
Thanks Agata!!
I went for a solid sashing and no border.. hoping it looks ok 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
@TheFrenchSeams_vlog can't wait to see it
My husband told me that line about blue and green the other day (I hadn't heard it before). I said well God put the trees and the sky next to each other.
That is the best comeback!!! I’ll have to remember that in future 😂 thank you so much!!
Congratulation on your 7000 subscribers, well I absolutely love the sewing station genius idea, the sweatshirt collar gorgeous and the baby quilt is just the cutes thing great sewing xx
Hi Julia!! Thanks so much! Loved my sewing projects recently! Thanks for watching!
congrats wow 7k - thats fantastic - my daughter passed by whilst watching and said i love her wicked themed room! love the heart pouches and cosy slippers.
Hahahahah that’s amazing! It totally is a wicked room! I love it!!!
The pouches are adorable, I’m going to make more ❤️ thanks for watching
Great video. Quilt is looking good. Have a great week. 🎉
Thank you so much Bridget! You too!
Yay for your 7,000+ subscribers!! I don't make New Year resolutions (except to resolve *not* to make New Year resolutions); however, this year I thought, "Right! I'm going to do what Rachael does and not buy fabric unless I plan on making it immediately. But what to do with my existing stash?!" I'm thinking of trying my hand at quilting, but we'll see about that. Anyway, just thanking you for the inspiration you've given me in order to bring some sanity to my sewing room. Happy Valentine's Day! 💖
Thanks so much Cynthia! Hahahaha I’m glad I’m inspiring some behaviours 😂😂
I absolutely adore dipping my toe in quilting! I hope you do’ thanks so much for watching and commenting and happy valentines day !
Congratulations, really enjoy your vlogs, just keep the vlogs as they are.❤
Thank you so much Lynda! I love making them so glad people enjoy watching
Well done on your milestone🎉
Thanks a million xx
Congrats on your 7K.... well deserved...😊
Thank you so much!! Blown away! I love making these videos
Congratulations on reaching 7k subscribers. I absolutely love your vlogs, you have a great variety of makes. Aldi have fat quarters again here in Scotland so definitely worth looking out for in your neck of the woods too.
Thanks Sarah! I’m so glad you enjoy them! They made it here too! Woohoo ! Hope you got some nice ones for yourself!
Have a lovely week!
Beautiful makes! I love those little heart pouches, I’m going to make some for my girls.
Thanks Debbie!! I’m going to make more pouches! They’re the cutest pattern! I hope you love it too
Congratulations on reaching 7k subscribers 🎉 well deserved. Your weekly videos are alaways packed with fun, inspirational makes ❤ This week you have inspired me to start making the woodland quilt for my grandson. 😊
Thank you so much! I’m so glad you enjoy the vlogs! The woodland quilt is really fun and looks so effective! I hope you love it too and lucky grandson!
I know I am probably too late but I think a solid color sashing would be great. Also I think echo quilting around the animals would look very nice and make the animal shapes on both sides. You can do echo quilting as free mothion or just put the edge of your foot running along the shape of the outside of the animal. I have done many of these styles of quilting for baby quilts.
Thank you so much for commenting! I did in fact go for a solid colour dashing! Echo quilting was mentioned a bit here and it’s such a pretty technique! I’ll definitely have to try that in future ! Thanks again!
Love your collar embellished jumper. I think I’d add “shirt cuffs out of the same fabric to give the illusion you’re wearing a shirt underneath. Actually, I’m going to do that. I always enjoy your videos!
That would be a fun idea!! Happy sewing! Thanks so much for watching!
Collar embellished jumper looks fabulous.
Thank you so much!
Fabulous Friday sews as always. So sorry to hear you're still feeling under the weather, I hope you feel better very soon indeed. Just loved making the Billie with you, thank you for being patient 😘 Your quilt for your baby nephew is going to be gorgeous, what a fabulous Aunty you are. Have a lovely weekend and safe travels ❤🥰
Oh thank you lovely lady!!! I’m so much better now, thank goodness 😅
Sending love xx
Comgratulations on 7k!!
Thank you lovely lady xx
I’d very much like to see your favorite makes and most worn makes.
Thanks Sandi… I’ll see what I can do! Thanks for watching
So many fun makes. The baby quilt is going to be gorgeous! Congratulations on your 7k subscribers. That is amazing! Well done
Thank you so much Karen Marie xx
puff sleeves❤all the rage, pattern hacking too
So many amazing makes 🤩
Thank you so much!
Your baby quilt is looking gorgeous. You could always use minky for the backing as it's very soft.
Just keep a little lint roller on hand for the cut edges!
That’s a cute idea Michelle! Thank you!
😂😂 good idea! Thank you
Congratulations on the 7k subscribers Rachael. Well deserved. 👏👏
Your makes always look great (and you make everything with such positive enthusiasm- it’s a pleasure to tune in). Your quilt topper is going to look so, so gorgeous. Great idea, pattern and the autumnal colours. Just lovely. 😊
Thank you so much! I’m almost finished quilting and it’s looking pretty good so far 🤞🏻🤞🏻 hopefully it works out! Thanks so much for watching
Congratulations on reaching 7K subscribers sweetheart 🎉🎉🎉
Thanks a mill ladies! It’s so much fun making these vlogs and I’m so happy people seem to like watching them x
@ we love watching them! xxx
Congrats on 7K subs Rachael! 🎉 I love all your little crafty projects and that collar is stunning. I need one I think! How cool are those slippers too?! Your nephew’s quilt is going to be adorable! Can’t wait to see how you decide to quilt it.
Thanks so much Izzy!! The slippers were a bit of fun. Nice to make something totally random 😂
Spoiler alert… you are entirely responsible for the quilting technique I’m using , and I’m loving how it’s coming out … time will tell 😉 🩷🩷
Congratulations on reaching your 7000! Fabulous makes . Your enthusiasm is really inspirational. I’m out of breath just watching all the projects you get through. Hope you’re fully recovered soon. Pat
Thank you so much ! My sewing room is always in overdrive 😂😂
I’m feeling so much better now, thank you so much!
I love the collar on the billie. Would you mind showing how you attatched it in more detail please? Did you bias bind the whole band? Many congrats on 7,000 subs. Xx
Hi there! Yes I did bind the neckline! I’ll show it on my next vlog and hopefully it answers your questions! Thanks for watching!
I'm off to have a look at that sweatshirt. I am definitely having a 'sweatshirt' week. I made one for my husband then I made a new pattern (the Apollon) up for me which has come up a bit short (as I am 5'9") but I really like it. I also really like your sewing mat. So many projects...
Ooh I think I have the Apollon pattern, that’s good to know it comes up short! I’m definitely having a sweatshirt week too 😂😂
I hope you enjoy that pattern! I can’t wait to get it! The sewing mat came out well! I love using it! Thank you for watching!
Congratulations on 7 thousand subscribers. 🥳
Thank you! 😃 I love making these and so happy people like watching them!
Beautiful makes as always.
The quilt for nephew is gorgeous ❤
Are you going to the stitch festival this year.
I had so much Fomo last year my hotel and tickets are booked!
Hoping to find some fabric to make a dress for my daughters wedding in Crete in September
Exciting year! Xxxx
Hi Lesley’ ooh that’s very exciting about a Crete wedding! Congratulations!!
I’m hoping to get to stitch’ I would love it.. I’ll reveal more soon! Thanks so much for watching!
That collar is adorable!
Thanks so much Megan! Great to hear from you! I hope all is well x
I need to tell you how good you are at zips and bias....perhaps a tutorial on zips?
Thank you… it’s trial and error and learning from UA-cam 😂😂 I’ll see what I can do, thanks for the suggestion!
Thank you so much for the sewing station review!!!! I'm not a fan of the wide front sewing mats because they are too long and rub on one's legs (at least mine). This pattern can be easily adjusted for longer sewing machines and the hanging piece is out of the way of one's legs (at least mine 😉. I can make more than one for both my sewing room and another for travel purposes. Just bought the pattern and downloaded the instructions. Can't wait to make one!
I’m so glad you enjoyed hearing about the sewing station! It’s such a fun make!! It could be very easily customised to suit your needs. I really hope you get on well with it! Happy sewing!
I know you’re into bag making at the moment and you’re wanting to learn more about sewing with vinyl. I was wondering if you’ve looked into linds handmade patterns? They are excellent and a favorite among bag makers. She has lots of videos and tips and tricks on her social media as well.
Hi Ashley’ yes I’m definitely loving bags and vinyl and I’ve literally this week come across Linds Handmade! She had some amazing patterns! Thank you so much for that recommendation!!
Thanks for watching!
What is the vinyl you use. Can you give me a link? Xx
Hi there. I have some from Oh Sew Sweet Shop that I got from the knitting and stitching in Belfast recently. I was gifted some too. I’m trying to find some more so I’ll keep you posted. Thanks for watching
Echo quilt your woodland quilt
I had to google what that meant!! 🤦🏼♀️Such a pretty technique! Thank you for suggesting and watching !
Isn't 7000 the skydiving in forrmal wear celebration? Views are guaranteed!
