I absolutely adore looking at what other sewists buy, and this collection of items are gorgeous. The cross stitch doll book is very unique…..never seen one like it. It was also beautifully illustrated.
Me too! Love seeing what other people buy! ☺️
Absolutely! Does that make the 2 of us nosy?
I am very fascinated also with what other people buy and create.
Well, enjoy. I love seeing what others make also.
@@marionmathews9852 Lolololol! I guess so!🤣
Thank you for showing the clip on thread collector for Babylock machines. I purchased one straight away from an Australian vendor. 😊
Oh that’s brilliant!
Thank you for sharing the cross stitch doll book. It is now on my wish list for items to get this year! How unique!!!
Isn’t it! It’s just so pretty!
Great to see what you’ve been buying. Love the shacket colourful fabric, that’s going to look gorgeous made up xx
Thanks honey. I just loved it so much so I’m really happy I managed to get some!
Well Ruan, the first thing, I wanted to reach through my tablet screen and take that plaid fabric! Wow, it speaks to me! Honestly, it's a good thing I don't live in the UK, I would go broke buying all the beautiful fabrics. I don't cross stitch. Way way back when I was in high school I did some cross stitch on a peasant blouse, I remember it wasn't hard to do, and very pretty. Well....... my son works at the front desk of a hotel on the night shift, and learned how to do cross stitch. He said it was too tempting to snack, so wanted to keep himself busy. He said it's a portable craft. I think I need to buy him this book! He can do the cross stitch, and I can sew up the dolls. I even have all the embroidery threads. I wonder what he will think of my plan. Now, I must download some free patterns for the challenge and get busy sewing. Also I look forward to hearing what you think of the bias binding machine.
I think that sounds like a perfect plan! 😂
That is honestly the most gorgeous cross stitch book I’ve ever seen. Saw it, bought it! Thanks for the review Ruan.
You are so welcome! It’s so beautiful isn’t it!
Wow the author of that book is an incredible artist! The dolls are adorable and the colour shading of the stitches is amazing. I don't need another hobby but I think cross stitch is beautiful. I love that plaid coating.
Isn’t it just beautiful! I had to show people because I loved it so much!
Nice to meet you! I'll be back! Your hair looks FAB.
Ryan, your fabrics are so nice. Can’t wait to see finished garments. Thank you so much about the thread catcher, I’ve been complaining about that for 2 years now. You didn’t finish your sentence when I jumped over to buy one. I’m. So excited. Your hair is so lovely, tw
You are so welcome!
I love your vlogs. You always make me chuckle and smile. Love your new buys!
Oh thank you! 🤩
I fully understand your joy with the attachment for your Acclaim. I fancy a bias binding maker, too, but I didn't know about the cutter. That was a real bargain.
They’re just amazing aren’t they!
I hope you’ve put in a suggestion for Susan Bates next book ‘My Cross Stitch Gonks’ 😂
😂😂😂
Simplicity makes a bobbin winding machine, too. I used mine to its absolute death. Yes, I’ll buy a new one soon!
Yes I’ve seen that!
Hi Ryan thanks for another lovely podcast. Your fabric choices make for inspiring rabbit holes 😜 Don't know how you get so much sewing done but I take my hat off to you. Keep doing what you're doing it's lovely to listen to all your ideas.♥️
Aww thank you so much 😊
Ruan I've just noticed predicted text has called you Ryan again. Soz 🥴 I knew what I meant
@@tracycharalambous5223 😂😂😘
That was great fun Ruan. I treated myself to a bias maker in the Sew Essential sale before Christmas and really like it. 😊
Susan Bates is a rock star You are so lucky. And now I need a bias binding maker! Curses Ruan!
He he. Sorry not sorry! 🤪
Totally understand your excitement over the Babylock Acclaim special basket. I have a much lower end Babylock serger...absolutely love it...and the scraps just fall down on my desk :). xx Karen
So annoying isn't it!
Great video. I like your purchases and love the cross stitch dolls book. I’m more into making rag dolls probably but it does appeal. I like anything with dolls😆
I’ve just been away on holiday in Madeira and found a fabric shop! I bought three pieces for dresses and a silk top, so felt quite restrained ,although not obviously, as I’m trying not to buy too much and I’m going to the stitch festival🤦♀️ My room is fit to burst with fabric. I watch vlogs and love to see the fabrics etc that have been bought. It’s supposed to satisfy me but I’m so easily tempted.
Just to say your hair and that top look stunning together. Many thanks.
Aww thank you honey. And I’m the same. Not supposed to be buying fabric as I’m off to the Stitch Festival 🤦🏻♀️😂
That doll book is adorable. Now I want to have a granddaughter to make them for. I'm currently making my daughter's wedding dress, so it isn't too far away. 😁
Oh wow! 🤩
😂 you always cheer me up and this morning with all the best things! I do love a bit of cross stitch but this is on a completely different level! What a concept and fantastic book!
Bias binder bargain 🥳 love it and I am just keeping an eye out for a bargain too!
I look forward to seeing what you are doing next with all those fabrics x
Thanks lovely!
Oh my goodness I’ve just bought loads of doll making stuff . I’m not a cross stitcher but it’s a sewn up dolls n animals x can’t wait to see one . Just bout fine wool for hair to brush it x
That is awesome!
Love the book, might treat myself. As I am finishing off 4!!! Cross stitch for my neighbour, as her eyesight is failing. It's becoming a chore as they are huge. This would be lovely for me
Oh that is so lovely. You deserve a treat 🥰
Lovely fabric, look forward to seeing what you make. Well done on your bargain hunting, it’s great how things just work out sometime. Those cross stitch doll patterns are lovely, I made a lavender doll pomander from a very old magazine pattern last year, those dolls would lend themselves to being pomanders too.
Yes! Such a good idea 👍🏼
I love the cross stich book
Hi Ruan! I love your plaid fabric. Besides a shacket, a jumper (i.e., in US words-a skirt with straps) that you wear with a top would be so cute, too, with all those colors. Your cross-stitch book is darling and she did a very thorough job in the lay-out. Have fun!
That’s a lovely idea x
Hi Ruan! I like the fabrics you picked up. I love floral!! It's always great to buy fabric!😊
It is! 😊😊
Thanks for the info on the hard basket. I own the babylock Triumph and have had the same problem. Thank You.
Glad it helped x
I have the ovation and admit I let the trimmings fall on the table then scoop them up and use it stuff pet beds. 🤭🫣
I just bought the Babylock Accolade and was surprised there was no basket to catch the cut off fabric. Perhaps I missed it but could you share what the German company is?
Fab vlog, lovely purchases and that book!!❤
Thanks so much! 😊
Omg I love the cross stitch doll pattern book. Really want to have that! Thank you for sharing, who knew such a perfect book was out there!❤
It’s just beautiful isn’t it 🥰
Love your enthusiasm for everything Ruan! That coat fabric is wow! I'll be staying in Horsforth the weekend of the Gathering with my daughter. So I've bought us both a ticket. First time going for both of us and we are so looking forward to it and meeting everybody.
Oh that’s brilliant! Yay!
Really useful boxes have some good storage, not drawers, but inserts with compartments, fitting into their boxes. Works well, very portable🤗
Ooh I’ll have a look 👀
I haven't cross stitched in ages, but I used to do it quite a bit. I wouldn't have thought that book suited me, either, then the more you showed, the more I liked it... all the options! It's so well thought out. I do hope you'll share if you make a doll. If I had someone I could think of to make a doll for, I'd be buying myself a copy.
I think I’m just going to make myself a doll 😂
@@theyorkshiresewgirl I think of I had kids, It's want to make some that looked like them for myself. For some reason, most of the cross stitch projects I did were to give away, so that's always what I think about with cross stitch.
Wow Ruan, loads of lovely things in this vlog. The cross stitch book though, I’ve got to have one, it’s beautiful. You did so well getting the bias binding maker, I had no idea they were so expensive. ❤😊
The book is so gorgeous 😍
Loved seeing all your fun purchases. It’s always great when you can find a bargain in Boyes.😃 the Crosstitch book is adorable, and you did so well getting the bias binder maker. I ended up splurging to buy the hard scrap basket for my Acclaim, but I only had the choice of gold in my local store😊
Yes love a good bargain Jane 🤪
The dolls in that book are so cute, I think you ought to stitch a Northern Sewl Sisters based trio😂 I’m going to the Stitch Festival and The Gathering… so excited!
Ha ha. Yes! Yay to both functions. Hopefully see you there!
I bought the exact same box after seeing an earlier video from you. Its call the Nideen Earring Storage Organiser. £12.99 from Amazon. The colour is called black but is more like a smokey grey. Hope this helps some of your followers!
Fab. Thank you ☺️
What a beautiful cross stitch book 😍
It really is!
I got a bias binding maker for my birthday too and absolutely love it. I don’t enjoy making the strips of fabric to put through it though so am jealous about your other machine!
He he. I just need to find time to try it all out now!
Hello from Sydney.
I received a bias maker as a present from my family and love it. It’s like magic. No more burnt fingers. Enjoy playing with it. You could do a lunch time tutorial.
Yes I should do that!
love your new fabric your new gadgets and the cross stitch book is amazing.. have fun
Thank you ☺️
I have my box from Amazon. In fact use my buttons since I store in a clear box
Yay!
That cross stitch book looks amazing. Definitely going on my NEED TO HAVE list ❤
Isn’t it beautiful 😍
I am in the US and found the thread catcher on our Etsy - however as it ships from Germany the cost was almost $100😢. But I found another seller in the US! Thank you for the blog - I did not know anyone made them!
Oh yay!
I proper belly laughed when you mentioned the me and the jacket fabric - distraught 😭 you can’t come to this years scottish Frocktails though! Thanks for the mention lovely 🥰 oh yeah got the first fabric (floral viscose jersey) too 😂 oh yeah the Jenna Dress is SUBLIME, quickly bought the paper pattern and plans are to make the dress version first! ALL THE PLANS! and bought the “button” storage box too - you should be on a commission 😂 AMAZON!!! Tinted one too!
Ha ha ha. So funny! Yes I’m gutted about Frocktails 😢. Was praying they would choose the other date but it don’t work in my favour 😔
@@theyorkshiresewgirl well I guess we could make a Frocktails in July at Sew Toon 😝🤗 that’s a bargain price for the jacket fabric too!
nose twitch 🤣 fab haul! and found the button box!!!
😂😂 👃🏻
Sound like the kind of day i would spend with my good friend Stella. Tragically, Streaks died in a walking accident in the Swiss mountains. Next month it will be 7 years and i miss her as much as i did in that first day.
I’m so sorry to hear that ❤️
That book is so cute and beautifully presented. 💙🧶🌈🍓
It really is!
Ultimate Laziness - I hear you 😂 I'd love to see a video showing how they work if you get some time....
Will do!
Hi Ruan, after watching your vlog, I immediately jumped on google and searched for this book. I live in Australia and have a BBF who is the most beautiful cross stitcher and this book will soon be winging its way to her. Thank you for your videos they brighten my day 💜🍍🇦🇺
Oh what a lovely gift for your friend 😍
Hi Ruan I’ve got a 5 drawer storage from temu it is around 19 pounds and fresh delivery…they do different colour ways…haven’t received it yet but it looks good…thanks for another great vlog😊
Ooh thank you. I managed to find one on Amazon too 👍🏼
I love your shirt! ❤
Lovely purchases! How cute is that book 😍
I have a cross stitch kit that I tend to do every Christmas, I think I started about 15 years ago 😬. I am determined to get it closer to being finished this year, I’ll have to post it on my instagram page, so obviously then I’ll be committed to completing it 😆🤞🏼….one day! x
Ha ha. Yes you need to commit 🤪
Oh wow I have just taken up cross stitch and already have 10 large kits to do lol. But I must have that book xxx
I agree. You definitely NEED that book 😂
It is still on pre-order here in Australia
🙋♀️🙋♀️🙋♀️Glad you got the serger tray I suggested ! I love mine!
It’s fabulous!
Great vlog as always I was laughing out loud “Shacket” I am the same about that word. Love you got a bargain everyone loves one ❤❤
Glad it’s not just me! 😂
Are the Sewl sisters doing a colab Vlog on the fabric you all bought? Cross stitch book was very cute
We’re not sure yet. Too many ideas 🤣
Just looked on Amazon they have them very similar.
Yes I bobbed a link in the description box for one similar 👍🏼
Fun vlog thanks for sharing💗🇦🇺😊
Thank you ☺️
That coating fabric is my LITERAL DREAM JACKET FABRIC….I tried to look on the website but they don’t sell online 😢
It’s beautiful isn’t it. Yeah just think I was very lucky to find it in store x
The button box is from amazon and comes in 3 colours. I keep my earring collection in mine.......
Yes I popped a link in my description box. May have to get another one! 🤪
I have a BabyLock and i bought a pink hard basket
Yay. Twins!
What a lovely selection of items you’ve bought recently 😍
Thanks lovely 🥰
yeah I totally forced you into Boyes 😂😂😂
All your fault 🤪
❤
Fab as always- will you share your jewellery stand again thanks 🙏🏽
Do you mean the one that I hand all my earrings off honey?
@@theyorkshiresewgirl yes please- wanna get mine all organised!!
@@mtkelly33 DM me on instagram and I’ll send you a link for a similar one 👍🏼
I have just subscribed to your channel.😊
That’s lovely. Thank you 🤩
Hi Ruan, do you have the details for the scrap tray for the overlocker. I have the same problem, I have a tiny weary looking thin little box as my catcher. Quietly drives me mad to be honest. Would much appreciate any info you have got for me to try to track one down. Thanks for sharing
Hi there. This is the link for the one I was told about but it is from Germany…
www.naehwelt-flach.de/schnittenliebe-auffangbehaelter-fuer-baby-lock-acclaim-versch-farben.html?listtype=search&searchparam=Schnittenliebe%20Babylock%20acclaim
Hope that helps xx
That looks like my basket
oh my days I never used my bias maker n sold for £10 🤦♀️
Noooo 😂😂
What is this “I don’t need any more labels”? Of course you do. I do too. Don’t be discouraging my buying of important things. I need more fabric, too.
😂😂
Button storage 😜🦖
🤩
We all love a bargain
We do!
Temu have them.
Is the closet core pattern dress like the Lyra?
A little but this one is more relaxed and only has one tier 👍🏼
@@theyorkshiresewgirl interesting. I’ve never made the Lyra 👀 and now I’m wondering which go get
👌💗💗💗😁👍😘
Dear Ruan!
I‘m happy that you managed to get a pink Box from „Schnittenliebe“ here in Germany through your friend. I offered in the after Christmas vlog to send one to you, but you did not mention it in a later vlog.or in a answer to my coment in the section of the said Video. I thank you for the mentioning in your video today (4/3/24). I just watched it. And I thank you, even if it was somebody else, who gave you the idea (but I think I did)😊
Keep on with your entertaining vlogs! I love to watch them.
Another Tip for you regarding your cross stitching on black aida. I have it from one of the british cross stitch Magazinen: put one white piece of fabric in your lap underneath the black Aida. So you can see the holes better.
PS: a) my name is Christine and I am a bookseller in Frankfurt/Main. I must have the cross stitch book with the dolls. It is very cute! Thank you for the recommendation.
Yes! It was you! Thank you SO much. I’m so behind with replying to comments with having so many during Vlogmas (I’m still trying to catch up!). I’m so glad you commented so I knew who it was! ❤️
Sorry clear plastic boxes.
Lovely fabrics, I was doing really well till I couldn’t resist a destash fabric bargain, I’m currently madly making bags for a craft fair, but I have fallen down a wet felting rabbit hole. I was lucky and received a bias maker for my birthday, I haven’t used it yet 🙄Must get the book, thanks, I always have a cross stitch and some knitting on the go too 🫣🤪 I agree, how annoying is it that Babylock don’t have trays
No-one can resist a good de-stash 🤪
