    I think Andrea was hinting on the live, that the fabric was quite heavy. So I'm thinking a knit, corduroy, or denim maybe. But we'll see. I can hardly wait. I enjoy receiving them so much! She said that the farther away packages went out on Friday, but I just got notice today that her post office got mine, so I'm not holding my breath that it will arrive this week. Last month I got the pink background. It isn't something I would have bought for myself, but it's pretty, so I will still wear something from it. I don't mind wearing bright things in the summer, even if I have autumn colouring. And since I get the big box, I will have lots to make my granddaughter a dress too. She loves bright pink and flowers, so I will let her choose a pattern the next time I go to their place and we can match. No matter what I get in my Think Pink Box, I love it because there is always someone I can make something for out of it.

    • @dizzyquiltsandsews
      @dizzyquiltsandsews  Місяць тому

      I got my box delivered today and it most definitely is heavy 🤣 I think I have a plan for it now, but I was very surprised to see what was inside. You’ll have to let me know what you think of it when yours gets there.

    I am looking forward to seeing how the pivot and slide method works with a dart. I am about to make my first Vernon shirt; I have purchased Whitney's course. I hope it will become a TT pattern. I have lots of sewing plans for this month, but my machine is going for service, ahhh!

    • @dizzyquiltsandsews
      @dizzyquiltsandsews  Місяць тому

      Yeah I really hope I can figure out the pivot and slide with darts! The Vernon is such a good pattern - I'm pretty sure you're going to love it! I hope your machine comes back from the spa in top working condition. You need your tool!!

  • @granjan252

    • @dizzyquiltsandsews
      @dizzyquiltsandsews  Місяць тому

      Thank you so much! I think maybe I need to have the Remy out on my cutting table at all times so I can use it as my palate cleanser. It’s so simple and you’re right - now that I love the fit on me, it’s a sure winner every time!!

    Im excited to see the pivot and slide 🙂 I tried it from an online tutorial that someone had done. I managed to follow the first part but then couldn't figure out the second part 😵‍💫 wasted 2 days trying it lol 🤣 so it would be great seeing you do it on your vlog. Would be super handy if I could get it to work for me because i have an 8 inch difference between my high and full bust.
    Brilliant vlog and looking forward to see your makes 😀

    • @dizzyquiltsandsews
      @dizzyquiltsandsews  Місяць тому +2

Anyone who loves my daughter like that has my love as well. Xx

    I think Andrea had your quilt in mind when she sent you that box as you couldn't have a more perfect backing for that awesome quilt.

    Your Remy looks so nice on you! I didn't wear dresses for over a decade of my adult life, but I'm glad I got back into them. I find them especially great for work because it's much quicker to build an outfit since you just have the one piece. I bet if you give it a try you'll learn to appreciate them too.

    • @dizzyquiltsandsews

    Fab plans. I love the Remy. Have 3, and plan on more. I want a flannel one for our Manitoba winters. Plus, only you know you are using the same pattern over and over. So dressy/casual depending on fabric.

    • @dizzyquiltsandsews
      @dizzyquiltsandsews  Місяць тому

    Another great vlog thank you Izzy. I'd love to see you do the pivot and slide video. I heard the technique mentioned somewhere on UA-cam and immediately tracked down one of Nancy's books, but so far have done little more than a quick skim to make sure the technique is covered. I've returned to sewing after a gap of over 30 years so feel like a novice. I made the Remy, short sleeved, in a linen mix fabric. So pleased and proud with the finish, shame it's an inch too small!! and I think I'd actually prefer a softer drape. I have the long sleeve expansion pack so will fish out some viscose from my tiniest of tiny stashes and try again in the next size up.

    • @dizzyquiltsandsews
      @dizzyquiltsandsews  Місяць тому +1

      I love the Remy in a viscose. I think your plan to make the long sleeves with a viscose is a great idea! So funny because I discovered the pilot and slide method the same way you did - a vlogger mentioned it and I immediately went down the rabbit hole 🤣

  • @nancynewman6592
    @nancynewman6592 Місяць тому +1

    I don't know how you resisted doing a second Remy top! I try to make 3 in a row, because it keeps getting faster, therefore a little extra time to plan how to make them different from each other :) Can't wait to see the other makes, they will be gorgeous

    • @dizzyquiltsandsews
      @dizzyquiltsandsews  Місяць тому +1

      You know - I remember a vlogger who said she loved to make the same pattern 3 times in a row because she felt each version was better than the previous one and her technique just kept getting better. It was her way to practice new techniques and make sure she would remember how to do them in the future. Now that I reflect on it, it’s the perfect way to learn!

  • @maryleigh3788
    @maryleigh3788 Місяць тому +1

    Happy to see you are using the pivot and slide method of Nancy's. This method seemed to be easier to me and I have the book. I have not found a source with a reasonable price for the dvd and have not seen a video for the pants on You Tube. I am surprised to not see more You Tubers talking about it. Enjoy your videos. Take care

    • @dizzyquiltsandsews
      @dizzyquiltsandsews  Місяць тому

      I asked myself the exact same question after trying the method this summer. How is it that so few people are talking about this?! I really want to try it with pants and I’m pretty sure the book I have of hers covers pants as well. I’ll be sure to share that on the channel as well.

I’m thinking of making the new I2S shirt dress for a trip to Italy next year out of a beautiful eyelet linen blend I just received from Stylemaker Fabrics. Oh, and did you see the new Cashmerette October pattern? You vacant use the Vernon sleeves on it too😊

    Hi Izzy, the Remy top looks so good on you. From the fabric to the style, it’s an absolute winner. I also love the fabric you’ve chosen for your pussy bow blouse, which I think will be a great office staple, styled as you suggest, but also with one of your super smart jackets 😊 Marianne’s friend is a lucky girl, to have a made to measure shirt and in such nice fabric. What a lovely kind lady you are and how kind of Marianne to suggest it too.🤗 Thank you for sharing Izzy. Happy sewing 😊xx

    Oh Izzy I just have to say how lovely that bright pink looks on you! Gorgeous. I am really looking forward to seeing Marianne's dress made up, it looks dreamy. I have only made one Avenir and it was a bit of a failure on me. I love the fabric you have chosen so I am looking forward to that also. We are heading into sweltering hot summer here in Australia so my plans are very different to yours, lots of lightweight linen and short styles. Enjoy Frocktails. Liz x

      Thank you so much Liz! I do love that pink Stanton Hoodie and I’m so happy to be wearing it again. I’m so excited about Marianne’s dress. Based on the very successful toile, I think it’s going to be stunning. I made the Avenir a couple of years ago and did not like it on me at all. But I took the pattern out again last Spring and decided to fine tune the fit and see if it would work better. And now I love it. I’m really glad the heat is over here - we had a pretty warm and sunny summer and I’m ready for cooler days!!

    I just love seeing that Remy blouse behind you - still amazing how perfect it is for you in every way. You have a lot of fun plans for October! Marianne is lucky to have a personal dressmaker 😄. My grandmother was a seamstress, so of course sewed for my mom, and then my mother sewed for me, but so far my daughter has no interest in sewing but she knits beautifully and I cannot. My daughter also has a larger bust and gave up on wearing button-downs and much prefers knit tops for comfort and ease of care anyway, but she had a laparoscopic gallbladder removal and was required to wear a button-down shirt for the procedure. We found one at Goodwill, she had the surgery, and donated the shirt back the next day! For me the issue is that a buttondown looks fine when I'm standing up, but when I sit the fabric around my stomach pushes up and looks strange, especially cottons, as you point out.

    • @dizzyquiltsandsews
      @dizzyquiltsandsews  Місяць тому

      Thank you so much Mary! Marianne is so funny because now that she has clothes made for her, she doesn't want to wear store-bought stuff anymore LOL I have a tummy and when I sit down, my waist spreads so my waist is about 2 inches bigger when I sit down. That's why I love the Vernon Shirt so much. It's not fitted at the waist - it just glides over my middle section if you know what I mean. And yeah, rayon or linen do better for me because cotton just adds bulk where I really don't need it.
