- Hear my thoughts on everything now that I've had time to wear it all in real life. Which patterns would I make again? Spoiler: Most of them, over and over, apparently.

I’m still here till the end Your very enjoyable to watch. Light hearted and funny. You don’t take yourself serious and stress to much. Many of us sewist stress to much. My sister constantly tells me I over think things; she’s right too. So, watching you has truly helped me not be so serious and enjoy more something I love to do so much. Love your makes. The 1st white top, personally I don’t think it’s to much fabric, but I’m not wearing it. So as I always say, you do you 😋😂😄.
Aw thank you, that's so lovely to hear! And thank you for the kind words on the white top, I'm interested to see how it feels when I put it since I haven't worn it in a while.
PS I do overthink things a lot too! I always try to remind myself, it's only fabric, and it's not like I've ever had trouble finding more of it to buy 😂
@@alwaysinthecraftroom be honest you didn’t think it was too much fabric until the ogre said so… and that I would say is more it’s not their style. As a blind older person who gets hot flushes and is extremely clumsy since at arm’s length the world is blurry enough I can’t see the glass of water I just knocked over as I reached to where it should be, or I would get a puffy sleeve in my food.
Watching these videos in my clearest focus (4 inches from the screen where the text on screen is smudged) I don’t always see the small details but you describe them so well I almost can imagine them.
I’ve been blind for 8 years and started sewing again about 6 years ago concentrating on patchwork but I’m going to start troubleshooting ways to adapt my sewing as I would love to start sewing clothes again.
If you were to make the peplum wrap top again or something similar may I suggest taking a wide strip of (scrap) fabric to put round yourself and sewing it onto a waist band if you draw lines at various measurements you will be able to estimate and add hem depth measurements for future adaptations of patterns.
🎉 happy sewing 🎉 and enjoy your clothes and learning and improving as you go.
@@lynnenicholson6968 ha ha, I haven’t dipped it in anything yet… but probably only because it’s just beneath my elbow. Any longer and I would be doomed!
@@alwaysinthecraftroom oh I’ve got the knack even if the sleeves are shoulder puff sleeves of ending up with a food spillage upon them. Mind you can’t blame that on being blind as was just as likely when I was fully sighted.

Good on you for telling the rude ones off - watch something else! I love your videos and my daughter was with me for this one and commented how funny you are. I always know when you like a garment... your face lights up and you do a little shimmy of joy! I look forward to the next one ❤
Shimmy 😂 I noticed this when I was editing but I wasn’t even aware I did it before!
Thanks for your kind words and to your daughter too, I love that you were watching it together ❤️
Hayley, I really enjoy your videos and good for you for calling out the haters! I’m seeing more and more content creators calling out rude people. Love how you’ve dealt with this, you’re hilarious! I also really appreciate you sharing the things you’ve made that you aren’t so thrilled with and why, and how you will change them in the future. Thanks!
Thank you! I think I must have got my boldness from watching the same people as you 🤣
I love seeing people talking about why they do or don’t like things after a good while of wearing it, so I’m glad to hear you enjoyed it too!
Great vlog love your makes …..❤😊
Thanks so much 😊
Beautiful makes and I really love the white sparkly top.
Thank you so much!
I'm still here and I enjoy your videos. They look great! The red top is so lovely with the tan slacks and with the dark pants as well. The bias dress is lovely.
Thank you so much! That was a bit of a rant, so thank you for sticking around 😂 and for the lovely words on my top 😊
Here especially for the drama 😂😂 love all the commentary, it’s icing on the cake 😉 such lovely makes here x ❤❤
😂 My people! I've finally found you!!!!
Hayley, you are so much fun to watch. I love your sense of humor blended with your honesty. I hope the naysayers go watch someone else. Your summer sewing is full of great pieces. Can I say you are right about trying to shorten the Odell dress. I love the white Odell blouse and it looks cute with the ankle pants. The other white shinny blouse is lovely and would look great with dark pants this fall. I also think your navy top is so great on you, it deserves some bottoms. Just because it was a scrap fabric doesn't mean it isn't a fabulous top. I also love the floral dress so I hope you get some more chances to wear it. Thanks for sharing all your lovely makes. Well done!
Thank you so much, this is such an encouraging comment ❤️ I’m glad I’ve realised the issue with the Odell dress, I’ll report back! And I already have an idea buzzing for another Odell blouse too! You’re right about the navy top, I really do like it so I should make a few other bits so I can wear it some more. The skirt I showed is just a width of fabric on an elastic turned waistband with a walking slit - making another of those would only take an hour!
@@alwaysinthecraftroom Great idea. You can wear that top all year round as a base layer so I think it's worth it. You look fabulous in it.
I enjoy your videos! I feel like we're at similar stages in our sewing journeys-- I need to attempt a button front, but I'm going to start with your snaps with buttons sewn over! Keep it up! And ignore the trolls. A normal person would just think, "I'm not in the mood," and click on something else. Why should anyone have to be nasty????
Thanks so much for your lovely words. I'm so scared of buttonholes! I can do them but I hate it. So much opportunity to ruin a finished garment. Anytime I can sew a button over a snap or just sew it shut and pull it over my head I will!
I don't get it either, why go to the bother of telling me I'm annoying 🤷🏻♀️ Oh, sorry, I'll change for you, some random internet stranger! 😂
I’m here for ya all day long. You’re sassy and honest. ❤❤❤ great job on the makes
Thank you so much! I couldn't keep the sass in even if I could be bothered to try 😂
Well done telling the negative ones to click away 😂 btw love all your makes, I always find the makes when I wing it are my favourites. I always forget I’m wearing a mike 😅
Thanks Shelley, I just don't get why people feel the need to leave a comment. I know I'm annoying in real life, think of the poor people forced to deal with me, at least on UA-cam you can just click away 😂
Oh gosh, the mike is the bain of my life. It does mean I can step back and look away and it improves the audio so much. But also, I am constantly brushing against it with my hair and clothes. I think I need to learn how to position it better, but when you're trying to 'show off' what you're wearing it's annoying to have it ruin the neckline etc.
Also, have you filmed a whole video with it switched off yet? OMG when I came to edit that and saw silence 🤦🏻♀️ (luckily it was a short one!)
That sleeveless top with dark trim is BEAUTIFUL
Aw thank you so much, I love a contrast trim!
Love that you break the rules. Both in following patterns and as a UA-camr. Carry on being you!
Awww thank you! I just can't keep it in even if I tried 😂 🙊
I love them all, even the "too much fabric" (it is fun and feminine) blouse and especially, the Odell.
Ah thank you! The Odell is a fabulous pattern isn’t it, I absolutely love it 😊
that top is lovely!! Dinner date pair of jeans and heels.....so lovely for spring.
Aww thank you very much!
I love this kind of video! Honest + fun! ❤
Aw thank you! You lovely commenters really do make my day ❤️
I absolutely LOVE the first trousers.
Aww thank you! I’ve been on such a trouser-fitting journey this year, I’m on the look out for some winter-weight fabric in black or grey for another pair 😊
I really enjoyed your video - you are so honest and funny. Thank you so much for inspiring me to continue to sewing. I get so frustrated if it doesn’t fit and turn out as I expected
Aw that’s such a sweet comment, thank you! Don’t give up, there’s fun (and laughter) even in the projects that don’t turn out well. They’re always where I learn the most, and I try to enjoy the learning as much as the doing. It helps that I enjoy over-analysing 😂
I’ve just found your channel and I love most of your makes. The trousers wouldn’t suit me, that’s all. I would never say anything horrible about you. You are very entertaining and honest about your makes. I’ve done the snaps/ button trick, very useful. See you again soon!
Aww thank you! That’s such a lovely comment and really the vast majority are ❤️ Thanks for following along
I enjoyed hearing how you feel about the finished garments. Thank you.
Aw thank you! I love a bit of analysis and it helped me too to think it through and see where I’ve gone wrong or right ☺️
Great vlog. I love your sparkly blouse and love the amount of fabric I went and downloaded the pattern straight away. More over I think you are very informative but in a funny and delightful way I wished I had found you earlier . Great seeing your makes ❤❤
Ah thank you so much. I'm so glad you've got the pattern too, I hope you like it! And thank you for your kind words too ❤️
Your makes are so pretty! I have the same issue with trousers- my own bum has gradually disappeared over the years. 😆
Aw thank you so much! Lol, I never had one even as a teenager! And I'm sure it's only heading in one direction (like everything else 😱)
Your PSA made me subscribe. Good on you for standing your ground
Ha ha, thank you! Just gotta be me 😂
I love your makes and your honesty so glad I found you
Thank you so much! ☺️
New here. I love your videos and good in you for calling out the rude people.
Thank you so much!
I subscribed right after you told all the moaning Minnie’s to do one 😂 glad to have found you!
😂😂😂 my people! Thank you ☺️
I'm new to your channel and really enjoyed your video (I have also subscribed to your channel) - I'm sorry to hear people have been rude about your videos. Ignore them! It amazes me that people feel the need to leave rude comments!
Thank you so much! I am getting very close to 1000 subscribers; every single one is much appreciated. I know, it’s so strange to me - just watch something else 🤷🏻♀️
As someone who was voted “Most Melodramatic” in high school (I’m American) I truly enjoy your style and way of talking.
Aw what a lovely comment, thank you! And lol at the most melodramatic, we’d get on in real life for sure 😂
I'm still here too ! 😂 - and really enjoyed seeing what you've been making. I really love the blue linen trousers - they're stunning and a perfect fit. I'm quite new to making clothes and I've made 3 pairs of Style Arc Bob Pants before getting the fit I like....but now I can make the next pair knowing it's going to work.
I've made nothing with knits so I found the T-shirts and vest tops you made very interesting.
I wonder what your lovely pink & red top would look like with the navy linen trousers??
Enjoy the rest of your week!
😂 thank you! Isn’t it great when you have a trouser pattern you can make over and over?! It’s taken me a long time to get here so the excitement is real. I find knits really forgiving to work with, far fewer fit issues and honestly, unless they’re a bit curly really not hard to sew - give it a try!
thank you great video ❤
Aw thank you, I’m so glad you enjoyed it! 😊
You're hilarious! Also, you made some cool stuff!
Awww thank you!
In my opinion there is never too much fabric. 🎉
☺️
I'm new here and enjoyed your vlog.
Thank you, I really appreciate it!
