Kristen I can't tell you how much I enjoy watching your videos and hearing you speak. I am originally from Frankston, Victoria but have lived in North Carolina (USA) for the past 27 years. It is just lovely to hear your accent and to occasionally hear a magpie or see a gum tree.:-) Thank you for your all your thought and work in producing these informative videos.
Hi Beverley, interesting comment. Hope you're surviving trump. 🤞🏽🤞🏽 BTW I've recently read "Where the Crawdads Sing", a most exquisite novel set in N Carolina. It sounds like a beautiful place. Hello from Brisbane, Marg 👍🏽👋🏼🦜🐨🐠🦘
Thank you so much! I actually worked in Frankston for a couple of years, in the early 90s! I worked at a store called "Sussan" In Bayside shopping centre! What a small world xx
You don’t miss Kristen! All these dresses look absolutely stunning on you. Your garden is such a wonderful backdrop as well! Thank you so much for sharing!
Like you, still in lockdown - but now clearly I need to make that Vogue caftan! They're all gorgeous but two of my sewing friends have that pattern and I need to get my hands on it . . .
@@thedahliasewciety I did indeed buy that pattern Kristen, now I just need to find a fabric. Any recommendations for fantastic fabric stores in Melbourne where I can source beautiful evening fabrics? Thanks!!
@@thedahliasewciety I’ll have a look online, and hopefully, I can make my way to Melbourne one day soon for a real ‘look see’!! Have a great day! Hope you’re feeling ok at the moment… 🌟
Va va voom Lol. Stunning pattern choices. You have really inspired me to try some of those. Your fabric choices are so spot on. I need you to come shopping with me.
I enjoy watching your videos. Your accent adds a different touch to the others but most of all are the prints that your outfits are made from. I'm soooooo jealous of them. I wish I could have some of them. They're ohhhhhh sooooo fabulous and the outfits does them justice. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you Kirsten, the cocktail dresses you made are beautiful and suit you so well, especially the Japanese print. You have inspired me. Avril Brown, UK
Hi Kristen, thanks for the wrap up. You have a beautiful collection of fancy frocks🥰 I still swoon when I see the dress you made for your twins’ party. It’s a perfect combination of fabric, style and fit. Beautiful. Thanks for giving us another look at it.😊
Your dresses are beautiful Kristen and your daughters dress is beautiful, shes so lucky having a mam who makes such lovely dresses, no one else will have a gorgeous dress like that, i love watching your videos with your lovely makes x
Your cat is beautiful. I love the Japanese print dress. It has a kimono feel. The abstract print wrap dress is amazing. I love that fabric. Nice makes.
Wow love them all.... I have almost the same measurements as you.. these patterns are beautiful very flattering.and feminine. your choices of materials are so beautiful !! Wish we had a spotlight here ..I love all your choices..thank you
Hi Kristen, I loved the red velvet and the Kimono dress and I'd really love to make one for myself but because I'm an (aussie) size 12/14 with a H cup the thought of finding & adjusting any pattern to fit me just puts me off even trying. Maybe I could start with a simple wrap dress when we can venture back into a Spotlight store, thanks for your video. Fip. (melbourne) :)
Oh fantastic! It would be a great dress to start with and you can always grade out bigger around the bust! So nice to have more Melbournians watching xx
You really hit this one out of the park! Amazing comparisons and examples of stunning dresses on a stunning lady! I liked the two types of lighting you tried to use and it did reveal more detail and thank you! I loved when you showed remakes! Very cool! Thank you for all your hard work!!! Off topic, do you have the Adele pattern top from Sinclair? I saw that and immediately thought of you! Have a nice week!!!
I am also in Victoria. (Bon Beach).I'm so glad I found you. I am your size so I know the wrap dress works well BUT: I don't go out much so I want something In a basic style but out of more everyday fabric. The main thing for me is comfort and practicality. I also like the dreaded leggings and straight legged pants to wear under a tunic or dress. Can any of these shown today use a fabric more "every day". Thank's a lot. Love your vid.,s.
Hi Vera, so nice to have another Melbournian on here! I LOVE my leggings under dresses for winter, so comfy! It would be lovely to be able to show off our makes if we ever get out of lockdown! Keep safe xx
Lovely fashion show. You have some lovely dresses in beautiful fabrics. I'm in Manchester U.K and we are not really socialising much either. Thanks for the vlog x
Kristen, your fabric to pattern matching is exquisite! Love em all but fave is 9292 fit n flare...fabric and fit unbelievable. I love vogue patterns as they generally fit me well so will be buying this one. Now to find the fabric...
Gorgeous dresses. I really look forward to watching your videos. Haven’t got back into sewing yet, have been buying lots of fabrics though. Getting lots of inspiration at the moment.
Gorgeous makes I am thinking I need to stay planning my summer sewing, it’s already 34 degrees here in North Queensland. I always love your fabric and pattern plans hoping to make my sewing makes all work together a bit more instead of impulse sewing haha x
Joanne Powell oh wow lovely! I am in Mareeba inland from cairns so about 5 hours drive away from you. If you are ever up north would love to catch up for a coffee and a chat
@@rayleenwallace8750 so woukd I Rayleen. My partner used to drop off tank deliveries to Mareeba once a week to a feed store type shop. He hasn't got that job anymore otherwise I'd come with him and we could catch up 😁
Joanne Powell oh that would have been amazing! We do come last Townsville to visit a friend in Brandon and to go to the speedway down at Pioneer Park. I will let you know when we are coming past Incase it suits you to catch up. Sewing friends are few and far between I am afraid. Though that said a lovely lady has started up a social sewing day once a month in Cairns which is fab. Would love to keep in touch ☺️
Love the fabric of that dress you were wearing at the end - stunning! Thanks for another great vlog, Wish I had somewhere to go! Nice to dream a little! Diana
Hi Kristen, Great work! 👏🏽👍🏽🤗 Question re 9253: It seems quite roomy. Do you reckon we could do it without the zip?? Thanks Look forward to hearing from you. M, Brisbane.
Lovely Dresses Kristen, I really like the red accent and tie. We are not doing much of any socialising here in US either. well Im not, I'm playing it safe.😘
Your flowers look amazing awe love Charlie 😻, love your dress! Miss wedding and funerals to semi dress up reason.....🥺 I’ve got that pattern and few others I was gonna make for holidays!
The red Velvet holiday dress it’s stunning on you. Yes that boarder print is very chic.so far I am with you on your dress make i don’t like the color block pattern but the style of the dress look very nice on you and where did you buy that gorgeous fabric from. Great Choice of fabric

What a beautiful collection of dresses and you look lovely in all of them.I wonder how difficult it was to sew with some of those fabrics.🌹
Thank you so much! Not too bad at all, most of the fabrics were quite stable which makes it easy!
