Hi Becky, fab vlog. Next year I am NOT buying any clothes, I am going to make everything. Like you, I have narrow shoulders, so I am going to try your method. I have to do big sizes because my bum is really big. But I am really narrow on the shoulders. I am recycling a faux fur coat at the moment. If it works out I will be so proud of myself. I am 75 but going on 35 no old lady styles for me. I love Tilly and the Buttons and have just got a book for Christmas. Happy New Year xxxx 75
Gorgeous makes! You are one of my favorite vloggers because you are real. Invisible zips are HARD. Pants fitting is challenging. My weight fluctuates, so I like wearing leggings and knits! I love all your makes, please sew whatever brings you joy! 63 on top of running a business, working full time and care giving with your MOM, kids, partner, making, then editing videos, Whew! I have no idea how you do it! Be kind to yourself. Thank you for an incredible year of sewing. I hope 2025 brings you good health and happiness!
Awww thank you so much 😊 I was thinking about this the other day where I find time, but I think with sewing it’s a priority to me so I always make time at the weekend xx
A gorgeous year of makes, I love the variety of what you make and your honesty. I’m too in awe of what you achieve. You are such an inspiration! I’m going to tackle coats and jackets this year, and will join you on the concealed zip challenge! All the best for 2025, xx
Would love to see the Peppermint Mag Wide Leg Pants, have the pattern and need some motivation 🤦♀️ You have made some great patterns for 2024 😊 Bec your jumper you are wearing looks fantastic, the colours suit you so much!
Becky I have enjoyed watching your videos over 2024! They’ve been very inspiring! I struggle too with trouser fitting, as I have to do a full seat adjustment as there’s 2 sizes between my waist and hips. my next attempt will be the SOI ultimate trousers but with a bit of stretch fabric to give me a bit of wiggle room if I don’t get quite right 🫣
Happy New Year to you and yours!! I’m a huge fan from across the pond but I’m usually watching you on a big screen TV so I can’t easily comment. Wanted to thank you for all your inspiration…especially with sewing for my daughter who lives across country from me and is similar in size to you! Thanks to you, I made my first Zadie jumpsuit for her and she absolutely loved it! She wore it to a wedding and it gave her a real confidence boost. She looked amazing! Thanks again. Looking forward to all your 2025 makes❤🤗🥳
Happy New Year when it comes Becky 🎉Where do you find the energy to do everything? 😂 My plan for 2025 is to find some balance in my life. It’s been a very stressful year and I haven’t been able to come up for air, so next year is all about balance in every aspect of life ☝🏼 Sewing wise, I’m going to build a work wardrobe as I have changed jobs and no longer wear a uniform. Excited to make a start on the plans for that 😆 Thank you for providing so many hours of joy and inspiration in 2024, can’t wait to see what you bring us in 2025 💞💞💞
Bless you… sometimes I wonder where I find the energy too. I am sorry to hear it’s been such a stressful year, I hope that you manage to come up for air ❤️
Becki, you are so incredibly photogenic and show off your garments beautifully. I think this year you have had tremendous success in finding patterns that complement your shape to perfection. Pant fitting will take a while to master but keep at it and keep sharing your journey with us. It helps me so much. I may be in the US, but I feel like I've connected with so many of your same sewing friends (of course on UA-cam - not in real life) and I've loved the more personal interactions. Thank you for 2024 and Happy 2025 to you!
Thanks for a great wiz through your makes, such inspiration! I love how you keep it real and fresh, you are a little powerhouse😊 and I’m enjoying everything you do. Best wishes for a happy and healthy 2025. Annie 💐
How lovely Becky. I’ve never watched any of your vlogs before and I thoroughly enjoyed watching this. Wow! What amazing makes, I loved them all. Good luck with your challenges, we all have our demons don’t we. I’ve subscribed and I will enjoy watching you this year. Happy New Year. I’m going to go over to instagram and follow you. What a find. Big hugs. 🤗🥰
Following you has been so enjoyable, I love your vlogs. Thank you for the work you put into your channels. I have not purchased any clothes at all this year, I even make my own knickers now! I have made a couple of quilted jackets, but have not yet tackled a coat, so that's one of my goals for 2025. Jeans are another challenge for 2025. I am toying with the idea of making bras, too. Fitting is an issue for me, too, and I am so over these vastly oversized patterns.
I loved your pattern and fabric choices.With the Thea trousers I think you need to size up to stop the creases at the front and then take in the waist.Rachel from Stitched up also has a great vlog for this.However, if you have to make so many adjustments that your creating a new pattern,I would put it away and look at other options. I am a new subscriber and am so looking forward to your next makes.
Hey, aww thanks for the tips, I have actually done a full belly adjustment on the Thea’s to get the fit right, the creases are caused by a stupid error meaning I have had to sew outside the seam allowances making the belly adjustment redundant 🙈 I got there with the fit through three toiles, I just got to a point where I was making silly mistakes ❤️❤️❤️
You should dye the strawberry blouse in lilac or pink, it would surely highlight your figure and you would use the blouse more, which is beautiful in itself!
The Belle… I have and need to make… my makes are mostly Style Arc so understand your pattern company favs 🤣🤣 My fav was the dress I made for day 24 vlogmas it was my Christmas dress. Been great following your year 🥰🥰
Amazing that you have made so much this year, especially as your business has been growing so well. You’re like a little pocket rocket that constantly recharges. The green Holland Park dress with the short sleeves is my favourite. It is like the best ever summer day in the form of a dress, I love it! Shame about the Thea trousers, I think one day you will drag them out of the naughty corner and make them wearable. ❤️🩷
Hey. - thank you, I like that saying of pocket rocket that constantly recharges 😂 I think the green Nina Lee is most peoples favourite and I agree it’s summer in a dress xx
Love watching/listening to your vlogs!! Lovely seeing all your makes and pattern houses you use also seeing how much difference the fabric used makes to finished item Happy New Year and look forward to watching your vlogs throughout the coming year xxx
Thank you Becs. By far one of my two favourite sewing vloggers. Absolutely loved your J&W advent calendars throughout the vlogmas vlogging community. A success of note. Much love from SouthAfrica 💝
Love love your recent make. What a lovely cosy sweater. This model and fabric really suit you. And I love your green leafy holland park dress. My goal for 2025 is just to sew the clothes I love and cannot buy in stores. Buying fabric you love and turning it into a model you love is always special
Your Patina blouse was beautiful. I took a screenshot. Not impressed by any I’ve seen before; but, might make one now. Fabric changes everything. Thanks for the inspiration. ❤❤❤
I love the patina, only in a viscose for me because of its boxy shape. I also elasticated the arms rather than adding a cuff - this is because I’m an elbow pusher (always pushing my sleeves to my elbows)
Hi. I know you have watched Rachel’s tutorial for invisible zipper but I have done two. One with the foot and one with a standard foot. Just saying. I love invisible zips and put them in 99% of my items 🥰
Enjoyed seeing your makes. Love the Billie on you. I’ve just had a few disasters with more fitted dresses and will look forward to seeing how you go with this. May 2025 be a great year for you🎉
So many amazing mates, even the ones you think are fails. 🥰. I think the style arc belle dress is my favorite. 🎉. Or the Avenir jumpsuit. 🥳. Or maybe the Sirroco jumpsuit. 🤷♀️😂❤
You had a fabulous sewing year, Becky. I love a lot of your makes. Can't pick the one I love the most. BTW, re invincible zipper - don't worry. I did 5 muslins of a dress recently and did 5 perfect invincible zippers. But the final version wasn't invincible at all 😂
Becki cheers! Happy new year 🎉 What a wonderful round up. I have to say that this is my most favorite video that you have ever made. All of your makes are stunning. Thank you for sharing everything with us. You are absolutely so inspiring to me. ❤ A big grazie mille from Italy.
Wow - how good do you look in that top 😍😍😍. Everything looks great but agree the stand out favourite is the pink Style Arc Belle. What a fab sewing year in every way (and don’t we all have something crumpled in a corner😂). Still working on my 2025 goals after mastering invisible zips and different types of welt pockets this year - oh and baby clothes for my grandson. Happy New Year😊. Lynne
Wow, just wow, what a year. Thank you SO much for all your inspiration and keeping us going and motivated. I'm not sure you realise just how amazing you are! Happy new year x
Great vlog Bec you've made so many gorgeous things I live your fabric choices to. Your hair and make up looks lovely too. Happy New Year to you and the family ❤🎉
I love the peplum top with the strawberries!! I think the structure of the double gauze is perfect for this pattern!! I think quite the opposite of you-I think the fabric standing out a bit, makes you look smaller around the mid section, as it is not clinging to that area and it compliments your bustline! (I'm not criticizing your mid section-I mentioned it, only because you seemed to think it made you look bigger, and it does not!!) You look great in it! I also really liked the "Holland Dress" I believe it was called in that green print-that was divine!! Everything looks fabulous, and the more we sew the more we learn, you are not alone in that! :+) Thank you for sharing, it was a treat!
Great Vlog Bec’s my favs are your Nina Lee dresses and the Belle dresses you really need to sort out the sleeves on the blue one as it does look fab on you look forward to another year of friendship and sewing 🥰🤩💕
What a fabulous wardrobe! You look stunning in everything. So impressed with 63 garments over the year, think I’m more like 6.3! Wishing you a fabulous 2025 full of good health and much happiness. 😊
What a year Becki! Re the invisible zip, the more you tackle them the better you’ll get, it’s like all these skills they just take more and more practice
Happy new year to you also. The Belle dress second version absolutely stunning, but all are amazing. Stacey j has has done one on how she does hers invisible zips. As per usual loved your vlog, great presentation, and ending with your sewing friends was lovely. Looking forward to your vlogs in 2025 , regards Diana from NZ 🎉❤🎉🐸
I’m impressed with all of your makes! Oh the fabrics you have to choose from! Our in person fabric shopping is down to so little in the center of the US. While I’m forced to purchase online, I miss touching, feeling and seeing the fabrics first!
Bless you, I feel very blessed to be able to shop but I do tend to travel to get to them - probably why I buy so much when I get the time opportunity ❤️❤️❤️
Wow awesome makes, the jacket your wearing and the leaf dress are my fav. and of course your fav The trouser will look great once they get outta the corner. Happy 2025 sewing
Wow you have made some amazing outfits in 2024, and look gorgeous in them. Thank you for sharing your year with us both weekly in your Friday sews vlogs, during vlogmas and on today’s vlog, you are such an amazing inspiration to other sewist so thank you and a very happy new year to you and your family. See you in 2025 for more sewing vlogs xx
Hi Becky, loved your review of the year. With the things you don't like please sell them on vinted and share the link, I would love to buy the faded Mabel dress
Lots of gorgeous makes Becki, my favourites are the Holland Park in the green fabric and Belle. I made a Mabel top out of a viscose twill and don't like the peplum bit on me either. Jen made the dress version in double gauze and it's her most worn dress, she just throws a jumper over it when it's chilly. See you in the new year xx
You’ve had a good year!! I love all the colours and gorgeous prints in your garments this year and the photos at the end just made me smile! I love sewing friends getting together. Also, I loved your Holland Park dresses so much I just bought the pattern!! Cannot wait to give it a try and my daughter also loves it, so I’ll probably make a few of the top version for her this year. Thank you for the inspiration!! Here’s to an amazing 2025!! 🎉
I think it will look amazing on you, with your bust, you might want to add some length like I have before the elastic ❤️ Editing this one was fun especially creating my friends compilation xx
If it makes you feel any better, I had a disaster with the peppermint magazine wide leg trousers. I made a right mess of the fly. That’s what has put me off the Thea trousers. 😁
Can you take the shirring out of the strawberry top and then just have it so you can tuck in? It’s so pretty that it’s a shame you don’t like it on you.
I'm always so happy to see your makes and that you are so honest about how you feel about them. I personally love you in anything red! Style Arc are my favourite patterns so I might try the Belle next year BUT I have a lot of projects which are going on the Make 9 list which just need doing!! Happy New Year - I was also so pleased to see Benny's recovery in your last vlog - that must have been such a relief for you and the family. here's to a good year.😎❤
Hi Sue , he has been recovering really well bless him, getting out to do some really good walks now, he is still healing and has a way to go, but he has been really resilient 😊 I would definitely give the style arc dress a go it’s beautiful xx
This was a really enjoyable vlog and I loved seeing your makes. I’ve only recently found your channel but wish you a very happy new year. The compilation was fun. I see you went to Thirkelow. We go every year in April and it’s so enjoyable. I’m still thinking about my plans but I’d like to make myself some bits as I’ve just made lots of gifts for months. I’m definitely planning a Roscoe dress in double gauze which I’ve bought already. Also a jacket in fur lined bubble Cordoroy 😊
They sound like some exciting plans, the Roscoe dress is on my wish list. Yes we are back at Thirkelow the end of Jan and I can’t wait to be back there, it’s so beautiful x
Loving your productivity and your makes look fab 😍 what pattern is your fleece? Not sure if i missed you saying! Im about to make Seamwork Amari fleece but not sure if i want to extend the collar to make it more oversized 🤔
I have been thinking of trialling the seamwork membership. Is it worth the money? I’ve just printed off one of their freebies to try first. Love all your makes. Thankyou for all the inspiration you’ve given me this year. ❤happy new year 🎉
I love my seamwork subscription, you can pause for three months too which I find helpful if you haven’t downloaded all your patterns from your credits because you can access them. I have made a few of their patterns now, they have sew alongs and tutorials, a community and so many tips as well as releasing two patterns a month. Personally I think it’s worth it xx
Love your 2024 video and all the wonderful things you have made. You have inspired me over the year for a few things; one was the. simplest yet favourite tweak, the Tabitha dress. I just loved how flattering it was and promptly add an elastic to the waist of a tshirt Molly dress.. VOILA!! It was flattering for me too :) I also bought the pattern you are wearing and that will be next. Thanks for all your hard work! Happy New Year!
Awww I’m so pleased have inspired you, I love getting inspiration from vloggers I follow too, remember to size down with the Amari, look at the finished garment measurements x❤️❤️❤️
Enjoyed this end of year summary... excellent!
❤️
Hi Becky, fab vlog. Next year I am NOT buying any clothes, I am going to make everything. Like you, I have narrow shoulders, so I am going to try your method. I have to do big sizes because my bum is really big. But I am really narrow on the shoulders. I am recycling a faux fur coat at the moment. If it works out I will be so proud of myself. I am 75 but going on 35 no old lady styles for me. I love Tilly and the Buttons and have just got a book for Christmas. Happy New Year xxxx

I don’t think age should mark an outfit ❤️ wear what you want x

Happy New Year when it comes Becky 🎉Where do you find the energy to do everything? 😂 My plan for 2025 is to find some balance in my life.

Bras scare me but they would be so good to learn, I can imagine it would be quite liberating making your own bras x
I loved your pattern and fabric choices.With the Thea trousers I think you need to size up to stop the creases at the front and then take in the waist.Rachel from Stitched up also has a great vlog for this.However, if you have to make so many adjustments that your creating a new pattern,I would put it away and look at other options.

Hey, aww thanks for the tips, I have actually done a full belly adjustment on the Thea’s to get the fit right, the creases are caused by a stupid error meaning I have had to sew outside the seam allowances making the belly adjustment redundant 🙈
I got there with the fit through three toiles, I just got to a point where I was making silly mistakes ❤️❤️❤️
You should dye the strawberry blouse in lilac or pink, it would surely highlight your figure and you would use the blouse more, which is beautiful in itself!
Great idea x
The Belle… I have and need to make… my makes are mostly Style Arc so understand your pattern company favs 🤣🤣
My fav was the dress I made for day 24 vlogmas it was my Christmas dress.
Been great following your year 🥰🥰
I know your a style arc lady, I can’t believe you haven’t done the Belle ❤️
It would look fab on you xx
Amazing that you have made so much this year, especially as your business has been growing so well. You’re like a little pocket rocket that constantly recharges. The green Holland Park dress with the short sleeves is my favourite. It is like the best ever summer day in the form of a dress, I love it!
Shame about the Thea trousers, I think one day you will drag them out of the naughty corner and make them wearable. ❤️🩷
Hey. - thank you, I like that saying of pocket rocket that constantly recharges 😂
I think the green Nina Lee is most peoples favourite and I agree it’s summer in a dress xx
Love watching/listening to your vlogs!! Lovely seeing all your makes and pattern houses you use also seeing how much difference the fabric used makes to finished item Happy New Year and look forward to watching your vlogs throughout the coming year xxx
Awww thanks xx
Loved your vlog, Becki. ❤ x
Thank you x
You look scrumptious!
Thank you Becs. By far one of my two favourite sewing vloggers. Absolutely loved your J&W advent calendars throughout the vlogmas vlogging community. A success of note. Much love from SouthAfrica 💝
Awww thank you so much xx
Beautiful makes. The Style arc dress suits you, not just the fabric. So does the Nina Lee dress. Love your jumpers.
Thank you x
Lovely vlog bec’s thank you loved your photos too ….beautiful makes ❤😊

I will take a look at yours - I have watched a few, I don’t think it’s the tutorials, I genuinely believe it’s user error 😂😂😂😂
@@whatbecsews you can do that. I have the faith 😍
I love all the colours in your wardrobe Becs, it's so happy, just like you.
❤️❤️❤️
You are looking very glam - love the hair and make-up! Have you tried the Lifting Pins and Needles Invisible zip tutorial? That one worked for me!
Hey, thank you 😊
I think this is the effort I make when I have some me time
😂
I will take a look at that tutorial thank you x
Enjoyed seeing your makes. Love the Billie on you. I’ve just had a few disasters with more fitted dresses and will look forward to seeing how you go with this. May 2025 be a great year for you🎉

Happy new year lovely x
Gorgeous makes Beckie , love the animal print top you are wearing 👌
Thank you x
You had a fabulous sewing year, Becky. I love a lot of your makes. Can't pick the one I love the most.
BTW, re invincible zipper - don't worry. I did 5 muslins of a dress recently and did 5 perfect invincible zippers. But the final version wasn't invincible at all 😂
Haha oh no that is referred to as Sod’s Law 😂
Well done. Great summary
Thank you x
Becki cheers! Happy new year 🎉 What a wonderful round up. I have to say that this is my most favorite video that you have ever made. All of your makes are stunning. Thank you for sharing everything with us. You are absolutely so inspiring to me. ❤ A big grazie mille from Italy.
Awww thank you so much ❤️
These videos are actually my favourite to watch xx
Wow - how good do you look in that top 😍😍😍. Everything looks great but agree the stand out favourite is the pink Style Arc Belle. What a fab sewing year in every way (and don’t we all have something crumpled in a corner😂). Still working on my 2025 goals after mastering invisible zips and different types of welt pockets this year - oh and baby clothes for my grandson. Happy New Year😊. Lynne
Awww I love that grandson sews are on the list x
Wow, just wow, what a year. Thank you SO much for all your inspiration and keeping us going and motivated. I'm not sure you realise just how amazing you are! Happy new year x

❤️❤️❤️
Beautiful makes! I'm diving into pants fitting in 2025 too and my husband bought me the Closet Core jeans course! I'm so excited!
Wow that sounds very exciting x
What a fabulous wardrobe! You look stunning in everything. So impressed with 63 garments over the year, think I’m more like 6.3! Wishing you a fabulous 2025 full of good health and much happiness. 😊
Aww thanks, I was quite suprised by the amount 😂 x
What a busy sewing bee you have been this year!
🧵🧵🧵
What plans do you have for next year? 🎉🎉🎉
I will be honest I am not sure, I know I would like to add to my work wardrobe, but that is as far forward as I have considered x
What a year Becki! Re the invisible zip, the more you tackle them the better you’ll get, it’s like all these skills they just take more and more practice
Thank you lovely… I will definitely practice this coming year x
Happy New Year!! 🎉🎉
Happy new year to you also. The Belle dress second version absolutely stunning, but all are amazing. Stacey j has has done one on how she does hers invisible zips. As per usual loved your vlog, great presentation, and ending with your sewing friends was lovely. Looking forward to your vlogs in 2025 , regards Diana from NZ 🎉❤🎉🐸
Aww thanks Diana ❤️❤️❤️
I’m impressed with all of your makes! Oh the fabrics you have to choose from! Our in person fabric shopping is down to so little in the center of the US. While I’m forced to purchase online, I miss touching, feeling and seeing the fabrics first!
Bless you, I feel very blessed to be able to shop but I do tend to travel to get to them - probably why I buy so much when I get the time opportunity ❤️❤️❤️
That green/pink Nina Lee dress is the stand out for me - colour and fit on you is great.
Thank you x
Thank you so much. Happy New Year!
Happy new year x
Dig those Thea pants out and see if they can be resurrected
Will do x
I love your new jumper!!! Have a lovely new year x

I love the jumper you’re wearing. It’s beautiful
Thank you ☺️
Fabulous vlogs. Loved them all. Look forward to 2025. Well done. Best wishes to you and your family xxx
And to you ❤️
You have had a busy year, love your latest top
❤️
Hi Becky, loved your review of the year. With the things you don't like please sell them on vinted and share the link, I would love to buy the faded Mabel dress
That’s definitely a thought x
Wow I knew you’d been busy with your makes but AMAZING! They are all lovely and colourful 🌈 ❤
Thank you x
Lots of gorgeous makes Becki, my favourites are the Holland Park in the green fabric and Belle. I made a Mabel top out of a viscose twill and don't like the peplum bit on me either. Jen made the dress version in double gauze and it's her most worn dress, she just throws a jumper over it when it's chilly. See you in the new year xx
Yeah I can see the dress being lovely in a double gauze x
Another great vlog, happy new year 2025. In my 64th year I need to learn zip insertion, I avoid zips at all costs
Yes I don’t think we are alone on this one! But we can certainly tackle in sync 😊 x
I love your makes and vlogs. Interestingly… I am 6’2” but with your body shape and make preferences… I have taken voluminous notes!
Love this.
I am so jealous of your height ❤️❤️❤️
Try Chanterelle pants!
I know, I have the pattern as well I just haven’t got round to it yet ❤️
You’ve had a good year!! I love all the colours and gorgeous prints in your garments this year and the photos at the end just made me smile! I love sewing friends getting together. Also, I loved your Holland Park dresses so much I just bought the pattern!! Cannot wait to give it a try and my daughter also loves it, so I’ll probably make a few of the top version for her this year. Thank you for the inspiration!! Here’s to an amazing 2025!! 🎉
I think it will look amazing on you, with your bust, you might want to add some length like I have before the elastic ❤️
Editing this one was fun especially creating my friends compilation xx
Love your freeze top
If it makes you feel any better, I had a disaster with the peppermint magazine wide leg trousers. I made a right mess of the fly. That’s what has put me off the Thea trousers. 😁
There is a tutorial for the fly on the Thea’s 😊
My mistakes are all silly ones from me… the pattern is great once you get through any adjustments xx
What a wonderful vlog . Such beautiful makes . Love the sweater you are wearing it suits you perfectly.. happy new year 🇦🇺💗
Thank you x
Wow, great fabrics & great designs.
Where do you get your floral fabrics featured in photos with your friends?
Thanks.
I think it was rainbow fabrics x
Can you take the shirring out of the strawberry top and then just have it so you can tuck in? It’s so pretty that it’s a shame you don’t like it on you.
I hadn’t thought of that x
Check out Kenneth King invisible zipper tutorial. It's about six years old. I have really enjoyed your vlogs. Happy New Year.
I will take a look thank you x
I'm always so happy to see your makes and that you are so honest about how you feel about them. I personally love you in anything red! Style Arc are my favourite patterns so I might try the Belle next year BUT I have a lot of projects which are going on the Make 9 list which just need doing!!
Happy New Year - I was also so pleased to see Benny's recovery in your last vlog - that must have been such a relief for you and the family. here's to a good year.😎❤
Hi Sue , he has been recovering really well bless him, getting out to do some really good walks now, he is still healing and has a way to go, but he has been really resilient 😊
I would definitely give the style arc dress a go it’s beautiful xx
Happy New Year Becky
❤️
This was a really enjoyable vlog and I loved seeing your makes. I’ve only recently found your channel but wish you a very happy new year. The compilation was fun. I see you went to Thirkelow. We go every year in April and it’s so enjoyable. I’m still thinking about my plans but I’d like to make myself some bits as I’ve just made lots of gifts for months. I’m definitely planning a Roscoe dress in double gauze which I’ve bought already. Also a jacket in fur lined bubble Cordoroy 😊
They sound like some exciting plans, the Roscoe dress is on my wish list.
Yes we are back at Thirkelow the end of Jan and I can’t wait to be back there, it’s so beautiful x
Happy New Year Bec! I am so in love with leopard prints as well.
Leopard print is neutral right? X
👍❤️
Loving your productivity and your makes look fab 😍 what pattern is your fleece? Not sure if i missed you saying! Im about to make Seamwork Amari fleece but not sure if i want to extend the collar to make it more oversized 🤔
It was the Amari by seamwork,
I love it but definitely size down. X
I have been thinking of trialling the seamwork membership. Is it worth the money? I’ve just printed off one of their freebies to try first. Love all your makes. Thankyou for all the inspiration you’ve given me this year. ❤happy new year 🎉
I love my seamwork subscription, you can pause for three months too which I find helpful if you haven’t downloaded all your patterns from your credits because you can access them. I have made a few of their patterns now, they have sew alongs and tutorials, a community and so many tips as well as releasing two patterns a month.
Personally I think it’s worth it xx
xXX👍👍👍
Love your 2024 video and all the wonderful things you have made. You have inspired me over the year for a few things; one was the. simplest yet favourite tweak, the Tabitha dress. I just loved how flattering it was and promptly add an elastic to the waist of a tshirt Molly dress.. VOILA!! It was flattering for me too :) I also bought the pattern you are wearing and that will be next. Thanks for all your hard work! Happy New Year!
Awww I’m so pleased have inspired you, I love getting inspiration from vloggers I follow too, remember to size down with the Amari, look at the finished garment measurements x❤️❤️❤️
@@whatbecsews Yes I immediately wrote on the pattern that you had sized down from 14 to 8! That was a. bonus tip 👌
