love the white shirt and trousers it looks like a jumpsuit, well done on fabric purchases don't feel bad at least you have you summer wardrobe sorted xx
I love linen. Classic wardrobe staple which will last. Buying fabric and sewing are 2 separate hobbies 😂😂 x
So true 🥰
Don’t feel bad. I broke my promise also.. I couldn’t resist, it was Mother’s Day, I had a gift card to MOOD FABRICS and yes, I bought fabric from other websites as well. But I blame that on some of the sewists that I watch on UA-cam. When you show your fabrics from your haul, it’s difficult to resist 😢 from going to the fabric websites and purchasing the same fabrics that I like. But that’s okay, We are both okay and one day someone will make beautiful garments from the MILES AND MILES OF FABRIC that we fabric addicts have.😢😢😢🙏🏻
Hi Sharon, thank you so much for watching! I hope you enjoy your purchases as much as I do mine 🥰
😂😂 Frank tried to eat the mic to stop you, telling everyone that you bought fabric. No guilty feelings, please, as we all do the same. And I've just been gifted 15 yards off cotton lawn in three different designs and colours, plus I bought 12 metres of viscose and linen fabric. I'm exhausted looking at it 😂😂😂 ❤❤
😆 He did! And wow, you are going to be very busy with all that lovely fabric 🥰
I can't tell you off for doing what I do far too often! How does anyone resist beautiful fabrics? Love all your linen makes - lots of inspiration there for me so thank you ❤
Thank you Avril 🥰
There’s nothing wrong with spending money on fabric if you sew it up and put it to good use. I must confess that I buy more than I can get sewn up, so I am working on that. Wish me luck 😂
Best of luck, if you figure out the secret let me know 😍
Love the fabric you’re making the shirt dress with ❤
Thank you, it's so pretty so I really hope it works 🤞
Looks like sound purchases for a lovely summer wardrobe to me.
I'm not going to disagree 🥰
Ooo a red dress! Exciting!
I think you made gods and sensible choices with the fabric, you will only ever receive encouragement from me in that department 😂
The white trousers looked fab, I’m so pleased you have found a pattern that works for you x
Thank you lovely and I know I can rely on you for the best encouragement 🥰 xx
Hey Ruth, very nice vlog to watch once again and some lovely makes - I particularly like the shirt dress as its going to look absolutely stunning in that fabric 😊! Dont beat yourself up about your fabric haul - we all have those moments 😅 fabric bans dont work for me anyway so I cannot judge you 😅😅
Hi Di, I am beginning to think they don't work for me either 😊 I loved your latest vlog BTW with all those cute matching headbands, I might try one too. They look so good on you 🥰
@@SeamStressedRuth Oh thanks a lot Ruth and thanks for watching 🥰
Love the linen trousers! Given me inspiration for a pocket solution too, thank you
Ooo thanks Cara, I look forward to hearing about it 🥰
I love linen, tessutti patterns your makes and especially folk who can’t keep to a self imposed fabric ban! Carry on and keep calm
Thank you Kate, I shall take that advice gladly 🥰
Kate has written exactly what I was going to say 😂 just want to add that I really love all the dogs!🐩🐕🦮🐕🦺
Enjoy your fabrics! Beautiful!
Thank you 🥰
Oh, don’t beat yourself up Ruth given half the chance I’m sure we all would have splashed out on that 50 percent off sale. I say well done and enjoy your fabric. Great choices by the way. ❤️🇨🇦
Thank you so much 🥰
Sometimes the artistic heart wants what the artistic heart wants.
So true 🥰
😂 last week I thought - I won't buy any more fabric for months. Yesterday I bought 2 fabrics from one shop and I've got 2 more in the basket of another one so no judgement from here.
Also, the word butano is Spanish for the gas butane so an odd name to give to that pattern. Anyway, I'd call it boo-tah-no 😊
Oh that is an odd name then, perhaps we will all just look super hot when wearing it? 😂 Does a fabric ban ever really work, not for me, I'm too easily distracted by the fancy new stuff x
Yay. More fabric! Great makes and plans.
🥰
If you're bad, then so am I 😂 I've bought way too much fabric recently! Your fabrics are solid staples, you'll get loads of wear out of them so I'd say you've actually been very practical and logical 😉
Oh Tania that is a fabulous was of looking at it, yes we have both been extremely practical and logical! 😆
Your yellow pants are very beautiful.
Thank you 🥰
Another lovely video
Thank you so much 👌
Thank you x
Do you have enough of the denim to make a Darling Ranges shift/Shirt dress? I think that would really look cute and be comfy for summer. Loved seeing grubby Frank at the end!
Hmm good question, I have not made that one before but I really like the look of it. I will investigate x
Frank is hilarious. I used to have a (much adored) spaniel who liked to roll in fox poo, so I am used to horrid dog habits!!! As for the fabric habit - life is short, do what makes you happy. I am just starting the Papercut Patterns Ashling shirt with an AGF fabric. They do such gorgeous prints so I am really looking forward to seeing your dress.
I love that outlook! It does make me happy, so long as I can fit it in my storage 😂
Lovevthe trousers
Thank you Anne 🥰
No telling off from me. I bought 3metres of fabric in John Lewis today … to save a pound on their car park 😊
Now that is commitment! Nicely done 😂
Than you again I love your plans and your linen wardrobe. You could change your fabric ban to second hand fabric is allowed that would mean that you could go shopping at lots of opportunity shops for linen sheets and vintage fabric. 🤣🤣
That is a great idea! I do enjoy an 'op shop' rummage but will I stick to it, that's another question lol x
Don't worry! Buy what you want, life is too short to live with such rules!
I like this advice the best 🥰
Stick to what fits you. Thank you for sharing
Thank you Linda x
With you all the way with Tessuti patterns and is there any such thing as too much fabric??? 😂😂😂. Loving your top and trousers - excellent pattern hacks for dress and blouse. Always good to use patterns creatively. I am on a ban too- it is so hard!! Good Luck with looking after hubby - hope your nursing skills are better than mine!! 😊 Lynne
Hi Lynne, not sure I'm a good nurse but I'll do my best, hopefully he will be a good patient 🤞 x
Hi Ruth, lovely makes in the linen. You are lucky to get your fabric godmother order, as I'm still waiting for mine!!! I hope I like it when I eventually get it lol.
No judgement from me, regarding fabric buying as long as its going to be made into something, where's the harm. That dress hack looks like it's going to be lovely too. Hope the hubby isn't too demanding on your time lol. Have a good week.
Oh no, I hope it arrives soon Annette, they must have been so busy! I am really hoping the dress turns out nicely 🤞
love those Robbie pants on you!
And I love your new co-ord set, that fabric was amazing!!!
Hello Ruth, lovely vlog as always. I don’t think you bought too much fabric at all! You have plans for all of it. I looked at the Fabric Godmother sale but couldn’t find any fabric I wanted to purchase😢. Anyway you have a fabulous week, loving your recent makes by the way. I am going to make the Milenda dress by Tessuti patterns. See you soon happy sewing. 🧵 xx
Hi Donna 🥰 You did well to resist! The Milenda dress is lovely and a really enjoyable make with all those pleats, can't wait to see it xx
I don’t know anyone who could resist temptation of the Fabric Godmother sale! I got some cream viscose linen and a couple of pieces of black fabric. I’ve made black sorona linen trousers last year . My favourite pattern is the Tyra trousers from Ploen patterns ( wide legged). All the best with your sewing plans!
Lovely purchases, do you have plans for yours yet? ! I will look up the Tyra's too x
Some narrow legged black trousers not picked a pattern yet, black jersey teeshirt - maybe a shirt dress with cream viscose linen
Ha ha good approach tactical xx❤
Justifying it to myself lol
Love all your new fabrics,the patchwork denim and the black linen look gorgeous. I also have a problem with buying fabric 🤦♀️😂I’ve also just found a new trouser pattern that fits well, it’s the True Bias Emerson pants and they are a really good fit for me.
Ooo yes I have seen those ones, I think Sew Do It Emma has made a few of them too. It's great when you find your 'go to' pattern, now you can just focus on fabrics 😂
Don’t feel bad about fabric purchases Ruth, I’m with you all the way! I’ve spent far too much money recent on plenty of fabric!
I think I need to join a fabrics anonymous group 😂
Love your linen items, they’ll be so great for summer & your dress is going to look gorgeous
How about a Sonny jacket for the patchwork denim, or the Butano shirt? x
I'm glad it's not just me Claire 🥰 And yes I am very tempted by the Butano shirt, my A0 pattern is hopefully on its way so it could be the one. Are you making one? x
@@SeamStressedRuth I’ve purchased the pattern so it’s definitely on my list 👍🏼
Hi Ruth maybe the Donny Shirt by FPCo would look great in the patchwork denim. Xxx
Michelle! How are you, so good to hear from you 🥰
Hi Ruth I’m good I am back doing my Vlogs now. Xxx
Hi Ruth, first time watching you 👋🏻, did you purchase all your fabrics from the fairy godmother? I would like to look up some of those thank you 😊X
Hi Anita, thank you so much for watching and subscribing 🥰 Yes all these fabrics are from Fabric Godmother, I have put the link to their site in the description x
As soon as I saw your denim patchwork fabric, I thought of the Tessuti Harlow. What do you think?
I do like the look of the Harlow but I already have the Ines. Apart from the unusual hem line, do you think there are many other differences? 🥰
@@SeamStressedRuth Good question. I’ve made the Ines 4 times and bought the Harlow for a bit of a change …… but it’s still in its envelope lol
Ruth, I forgot to tell you, don't buy any more fabric. So put the blame on me.😅😅😅
😂
