Busy Bee Sewing Challenge . Reveal day for Challenge 2- The transformation
#BusyBeeSewingChallenge
Challenge 2 Revel - the transformation challenge.
Hi thanks for joining me today.
I am wearing the McCalls 7084 in a viscose challis from Minerva.com. It’s an exclusive design called Tiger Paradise.
Challenge organised by Christine, @gemini_stitchers, & Sam, @sequingirlie
I chose to transform an old and very worn out jacked into a small bag. The bag was made to the size that was determined by the useable fabric.
Hardware and strap webbing were already in my stash.
Next challenge:- an item or garment for a Mediterranean Getaway 🤔
Thanks for watching today.
Happy Sewing 😀
Nicky

Great bag Nicky. Love the strap. Looking forward to your co-ord ideas.
@@lucykelland9054 Thanks Lucy
I love the strap. it fgoes so well
@@knotsandneedlescrafts It was just luck that I had the perfect match and correct size hardwear in my stash already
Your bag is perfect, lovely size and will go with so many outfits. What a good use of an old jacket ❤. Looking forward to seeing your Mediterranean getaway outfit, a co-ord sounds a very good idea 🥰😍
@@pinkderdlesews Thanks☺️I’m really looking forward to this next challenge
Hi Nicky, I think I follow you on Instagram and it’s nice to see you here on a CZcams now too (you’ve just come up in my feed).
@@SewingDee Hi Dee, thanks for subscribing ☺️I’m still new on here & learning as I go along! My husband bought me a vlogging kit for my birthday to give me the push to try it and I’m still really surprised people actually watch me 🤣
Such a cute bag, good use of the old jacket. Looking forward to your next video. Thank you🎉
@@bridgetwhite5547 Thanks Bridget. I have so many ideas for challenge 3!
Hi Nicky. Great bag that is both practical and will go with everything. I liked that you used so many pieces and turned the suede part out to extend the life of the bag, Antonia
@@antoniaburlingame5921 Thank you so much Antonia 🙏
The transformation looks great & now a really useful bag.😊
@@alisonwilliams3806 Thanks it’s the perfect size for my phone, keys & glasses!
He bag came out so nice! So clever to turn the fabric inside out.
@@theseamstressatthecottage Thank you ☺️
Great idea and I love the gussets, what a lovely bag.
@@dianemontavon5670 Thanks Diane, I really enjoyed the challenge
Good job 👏🏾 nice bag
@@deborahbrigid thanks ☺️
Amazing use of such a well worn jacket! Fab idea to use the inside and such a useful bag
@@deniseblake6214 Thanks Denise, was definitely better than it all going in the bin!
The bag looks great, what a clever idea to use the reverse side of the fabric
@@angelalysandrou4830 Thanks, I’m really glad I did the fabric that way as I like the effect it gives
Lovely bag and great use of your old jacket!
@@TheWillowtreeGreen Thank you. Definitely better than it all going in the bin😂
Lovely make xx
@@marilynkelly315 thanks 🙏
Well done Nicky, your bag looks great 👏🏼😀
@@lovesredsews Thanks Claire 😊. I’m looking forward to watching all the other reveal vlogs
Congratulations 🎉 I think my tnt is the Naya tshirt by Tammy handmade. I’ve not made from any of the those pattern companies and would be super excited to try one out! ❤
@@pinkpaulasews4929 Thanks. I cut out and made 2 Naya T’s yesterday, such a great quick pattern that uses so little fabric😀
I do love the tshirt you were wearing on the Wednesday and genius move on doing elastic instead of button! The dress is beautiful 😊
@@TheWillowtreeGreen Thank you ☺️ I’m so glad I tried the elastic idea on the dress as I think I would have found the buttons uncomfortable as well as awkward to do up!
Your dress turned out beautifully! I like the idea of how you finished the upper back with elastic casing instead of buttons. Great job! 🪡🧵👗🥰
@@sharoncrawford6450 Thank you 🙏 It’s so much easier to get it on than buttoning!
Thank you for sharing your wee. Beautiful dress, love the fabric.
@@debtaylor2387 Thank you ☺️
lovely fabric from the swaps table. I've just bought the Avid Seamstress The Blouse pattern after I saw it hacked into a shirt dress! Enjoy your makes ❤
@@pinkderdlesews Thanks . I hadn’t thought about hacking it into a dress🤔
@nicky-Sewandsnip I hadn't either, but I saw a picture of a lovely shirt dress on their website and emailed them to ask if it was The Blouse. They said yes, and they'd literally just lengthened it!
@@pinkderdlesews I’ll take a look!
Looking forward to seeing your finished challenge. I know the pain with a frozen shoulder. I thought it would go away but 9 months I still had it and could hardly wash my hair and dress. My physio was good and said I’m not going to waste your time and money and no exercise was going to help and refer me to a consultant who manipulated my shoulder and I had a steroid injection under GA. I’ve got full movement back in my shoulder. I hope you get the correct help for your shoulder.
@@susanjenningsjones Thank you, they have warned me that the natural cycle of a frozen shoulder is about 18 months 🤦♀️ looking back I think that mine started about 6 months but has only really effected me the last couple of months. Doing my hair is the one big problem, looking unruly isn’t a good advert to my clients when I do their hair😂
Hi Nicky, I just found your channel and have really enjoyed hearing about your week. Take care, Ruth x
@@SeamStressedRuth Thank you Ruth, glad you enjoyed it😊 This week I’m trying to record a bit each day to put together to see how that works.
I’m terrible for sewing for practical purposes 😂 I like the pretty fabric and patterns and flowy dresses but then don’t go anywhere to wear them😅 I have the blouse pattern too but haven’t tried it yet, I’m always put off when I have to trace things so delay using those patterns 😂 I’ve a few experimental space patterns, I did find the instructions a bit confusing but love the one I’ve made so far 😊
@@TheWillowtreeGreen I’ve spent so many hours making dresses that just sit in my wardrobe or signing up for every pattern test even though they haven’t been something I wear that I think I’ve learnt that as my wardrobe space and sewing time is limited I have to focus on what I need for everyday or a particular occasion. I actually enjoy the process more as I sew slower now too. I don’t enjoy the tracing either so try to do that as little as possible 😂
I've made those cargo trousers a few times... You might spend more time prepping the pockets than making the actual garment!
@@katejohnston1127 lol! Yes probably 🤣
Love the wren pattern. I've made the top version. Love that you've done the contrast sleeves. Your Rosa is so good too. The pipeing is so neat ❤
@@lucykelland9054 Hi Lucy. Wren is a bit different for me but I’m liking it, especially the sleeves, and think I would make again. I love the shape of the. Rosa. Thanks the piping was a bit fiddly but I took it slow and I think buying pre covered piping helped with neatness ☺️
Hi Nicky, great vlog love the fabrics you got from the swap unfortunately I couldn’t get there but looks like it was a success. I found you after Helen mentioned you on her vlog and have subscribed, it’s nice to have another Devon Sewist to watch. Tina
@@tillyt1201 Hi Tina, thanks for watching me & subscribing 😊as you have probably noticed I’m quiet new to this! The destash party was great so hopefully there will be more. Lovely to hear from a Devon neighbour, what part are you in? I’m towards Torbay area now having moved from Plymouth a couple years ago, always lived in Devon though!
Love your video, you have such a nice calm style ❤. I love your Rosa dress, ive got the pattern but not made it yet....you have inspired me to dig it out. Absolutely love your challenge make, looks so beautiful and really suits you ❤
@@pinkderdlesews Thank you Kay, that’s so kind of you. The Rosa has some nice shaping to it, you should definitely give it a go. I added the piping as I liked the look on the pattern envelope but it doesn’t actually have it in the instructions🤷🏼♀️ I also added inseam pockets as I like a pocket.
@nicky-sewsnip5903 having seen it "in real life" I'm definitely going to have a go ....and add pockets too 😄😄😄
@@pinkderdlesews look forward to seeing it
This dress is lovely on you. I look forward to your transformation project! Love the shirt dress you're wearing. The piping is great. - Kelly
@@Kakkydidit Thank you Kelly 😊 I’m really looking forward to the transformation project but who knows what I’m going to try!
Hi Nikki, I love your dress!!!

This is a really interesting pattern. I love the contrasting sleeves.
@@knotsandneedlescrafts Yes it’s really different isn’t it! I want to make a long sleeve too and thinking possible a sheer fabric for top section of sleeve🤔
👏🏻👗
Very nice love the contrast ont the sleeve 😊😊
@@robynlaszlo6128 Thanks, it’s a great pattern for adding some extra detail ☺️
That's a very nice, fun dress. I like the contrasting bottom of the sleeve. K
@@kjoy5905 thank you ☺️
Great dress
@@debtaylor2387 thanks 🙏
That is so pretty!
@@jennetthamilton971 Thank you 🙏
@@jennetthamilton971 Thank you 🙏
love this. Cute.
@@dianemontavon5670 Thank you ☺️
Oh the dress is really cute! I’ve made the blouse & loved it but hadn’t really considered the dress. I might have to now 😊
@@lovesredsews Thanks Claire, I was originally going to do the blouse but as I had a perfect amount of fabric left after cutting out I decided to try the dress thinking I could always change it back and I’m so glad I did as I love it. Still plan to do a blouse version as well but ran out of time during the month!
Beautiful fabric and lots of choices 😊😊😊
@@robynlaszlo6128 Thanks. The flamingo one 😍 is so wonderful I’m worried what to make in it to do it justice
Lovely fabrics & plans ❤
@@lovesredsews Thank you ☺️
Nice Donny shirt. Do you raise the neck?
@@janspenno2241 thanks 🙏 No I did as marked on the pattern, only adjustment I made was lengthen the shirt slightly to use ever bit of the fabric I had
Such a lovely pattern, the black double gauze with the feathers would make a lovely blouse and the chambray a gorgeous dress ❤. Looking forward to seeing what you make 😊
@@pinkderdlesews I’m going to make sure I use both of them soon if not for this make!
The black n gold would be stunning 🦖
Hi Nicky found you through Christine you have done a great job on the shirts will wait for future makes 😊😊😊
@@robynlaszlo6128 Hi, thank you ☺️ Looking forward to showing some new makes soon!
I love the feathers!!! Please choose that one. ❤
@@georginagowland6084 Thanks. It’s lovely isn’t it. I haven’t seen with double gauze before so it would be a good extra bit to the challenge!
Have you considered blocking the black fabrics so that you have the front bodice in, say for example, the black and gold and the rest in the black broidery anglais? Being as this is a challenge it might be nice to push it a little bit further than you normally would.. and a little black dress type of garment will always be nice to have, and of course during cooler days popping a jacket over it would change the look and you’d never know it was blocked. Just a thought. Can’t wait to see what you decide 😁 x
@@clairerosey9921 yes love the idea of blocking, unfortunately the weights of these fabrics are so different that I’m not sure they are suitable but I definitely am keeping that idea in mind. I may see if I can get a bit of the Broderie Anglaise in the other colour way the shop had, if it’s still in stock
So glad you like the pattern, Nicky, and can’t wait to see the finished product! X
@@SewVeryLaura Fabrics are washed, pattern is printed, just need to make my final fabric decision!
