Hello everyone and thank you for joining me today for the opening of my Dahlia Sewciety July bespoke Box ‘Woodland Retreat’.
I haven’t done any sewing in the last week as I have been busy Packing to move house and all of my sewing machines and fabric are packed into boxes, so feeling a bit crazy without sewing to do, just thinking of what I can make instead.
Wishing everyone a wonderful sewing week, Deb xx

I absolutely love your dress, Deb. It looks fabulous on you - the fit, the color, the style! It's still summer here and very hot weather, but this is going to the top of my list for my Autumn sewing! I just love your style.
@@pollysews Thanks Polly, it’s a very comfortable dress, I’m thinking of making another one in linen fabric for between seasons. You will love the pattern as there are so many variations, have a great sewing week, Deb 🪡🧵💕
Blue is your colour Deb.
@@kerriegonlag8700 Thanks Kerry, it’s one of my favourites, but the fabric is very fragile so I don’t wear it too often and keep it for special occasions. Have a great sewing week, Deb 🪡🧵💕
Deb is there a way to do this and make the top corner more sharp instead of rounded off.
@@juliecarrolltontx2948 Hi Julie, if you want a sharp corner I would create a seam, a seam would turn it into a box style cover. Using you measurements create seams where you would want the sharp edge to be, hope this helps, in essence seams will create sharper edges. Have a great sewing week, Deb 🪡🧵💕
Sew exciting Deb ❤❤❤
@@southerncrossstitches It is exciting Emma, daunting and exhausting also. Have a great sewing week , Deb 🪡🧵💕
Good morning Deb, I have only recently come across your CZcams channel. This clip, which you’ll recognise as your first, popped up today and I so enjoyed watching/listening to it, probably because I can relate to everything you said. There are so many similarities between us, although I live in Perth 😊. Our age, I also have 4 children (2girls, 2 boys) and I got my love of sewing from my maternal grandmother who, like your mother, insisted it had to be as neat on the inside as it was on the outside! She learned to sew after she was married and gave me her books on sewing and drafting patterns which I still read regularly. They are landscape style with a lined page on one side and drawings on the other which are protected from the writing (all in pencil) on the opposite page by a piece of tracing type paper. They are a little faded now but I still covet and read them regularly. Sadly I have been unable to sew since the beginning of the year due to some tears in my right shoulder, which is my dominant arm, and also a frozen shoulder as a result. I am finally having this sorted but unfortunately this is going to take some time. I came across your channel through boredom one day but am now subscribed and playing catch-up. I was interested to know what you do work wise though. You have referred to it but nothing definite. Sorry about the rambling. Take care and keep them coming. Kind regards Cheryl
@@googlelaird2955 Hi Cheryl, I do accounts and admin as well as sewing for work. We have just moved to country Victoria and are still unpacking 😱. Glad you found my channel, are you watching other Aussie sewists and if so which ones? I haven’t done any sewing for two weeks now until I get my new sewing room up and running so that’s stressful as I used to sew everyday. What type of things do you enjoy sewing? Yes everything has to be as neat on the inside as the outside, I think that is the old way, mind you so many garments you buy are terrible on the inside. Have a great sewing week, Deb 🪡🧵💕
Thanks for your reply. To answer your question about other sites I follow there is really only one Australian site and that is Lush Fabrics. They are based over here and deal with mainly stretch fabrics. They release a video every Sunday morning showing some of their new fabrics. I have no complaints about the fabric I have bought from them to date. I also buy from Tessuti and Super Cheap Fabrics and follow an English site called Sew Essential. Good luck with settling in to the new house. I hope you get your sewing room up and running fairly quickly. Cheryl
The squeaky door and solemn music give off a total vibe of "I don't know where to start" Moving is fun and discouraging all at the same time. Eagerly awaiting the new sewing room tour when you are ready.
@@AussieTracy Hi Tracy, yes fun and daunting at the same time, I can’t wait to sew again, have a great sewing week, Deb 🪡🧵💕
Oh Deb, where to start.. maybe a glass or two of bubbly, will advance the plan..
@@kerryofarrell5028 Sounds like a plan Kerry, some bubbly may help 🥂🤣🤣
@@dbdesignsandsewingaustrali5668 Can I ask, not prying , how many rooms do you have to unpack before you will be playing again in your sewing room? Have you gone to acreage? And do you have any fabric shops handy to you??
@@kerryofarrell5028 Hi Kerry, we really only have one more room to unpack but have to rearrange furniture in a few rooms. I should be sewing sometime this weekend, fingers crossed. We were looking at acreage but thought the older we get it would be too much to look after, so we have bought just over a third of an acre, manageable and we can have a very large veggie garden and chooks which is what we wanted. Fabric shops are an hour away in Bendigo, so online shopping mostly for me. Have a great sewing week, Deb 🪡🧵💕
Oh my gosh 😮😮😮
@@robynlaszlo6128 Hi Robyn, I will get it done a bit each day, have a great sewing week, Deb 🪡🧵💕
Oh Deb, a big job ahead of you. I know you will get it how you want it. Have fun 🤪😊
@@rosemarybravo5348 Thanks Rosemary, I will get there eventually, a bit each day , have a great sewing week, Deb 🪡🧵💕
Have toy seen the itch to stitch, deba topper. I like the look but would like longer sleeves. Do you have any suggestions
@@loisr1560 Hi Lois, the Deba Top looks great, as it is a grown on sleeve you could extent it a bit further to make it longer or just add another piece to make it longer. If I was me and I was wearing it as a Summer jacket I would add a cuff to extend the sleeve as I don’t like my arms on show too much, but definitely you could add a piece of fabric onto the existing sleeve edge to create and extended sleeve. Thanks for the heads up and it’s free, I’m going to download it now. Have a great sewing week, Deb 🪡🧵💕
@@dbdesignsandsewingaustrali5668 thanks for your quick reply. I went to that large fabric shop and found no fabric i like. I note in the tester makes that if the fabric is to soft if gives really crinkked ubderarm sleeves. I all about free patterns. I eill have yo look online for some fabric. I want to wear it over t shirt and jeans to look classy casual.
@@dbdesignsandsewingaustrali5668 i made the deba is some linen blend. It does not suit me. Imade the size reccomended for my measurements and i feel its to big. The curved hem does nothing for me as i am big roubd stomach and hips. So $30 material is not to bad an expense to put in the not hapoy pile.
@@loisr1560 Hi Lois, that’s disappointing for you, it’s not just the fabric but the time it takes to make it, the style and shape you probably cannot turn it into anything else. Now you have said that I will do a toile before I make it up in good fabric, I. Was thinking of it as a topper over a summer dress, have a great sewing week, Deb 🪡🧵💕
I have just got over it too! Took the antiviral and it seems to have helped. Hope you are ok.
@@vickichisholm931 Thnaks Vicki, I hope you are doing ok too, it takes a while to recover but all good now, thanks Deb 🪡🧵💕
Sounds great Deb. We are painting rooms so I can’t get to sew just yet for 9 days when curtains come. How many rooms will you have. Love both fabrics.
@@viddy8379 Hi Venora, we are going from a four bedroom plus theatre room house to a three bedroom house, but it does have a workshop, a double garage, a garden shed and a double car port, so many outer buildings. I just need to work out how to fit everything in. Only one large wardrobe and I used to have 3 double wardrobes and a walk in robe, so I hung everything up, now I need to use chests of draws, but I will fit it all in. Are you painting all the rooms? What type of curtains are you getting? The fabrics are beautiful, some more winter sewing on the agenda, have a great sewing week, Deb 🪡🧵💕
Beautiful new fabrics and another gorgeous box. I love everything in it. Your fabric choices are especially good and great to see you thinking ahead to summer. I have started to think of winter sewing but have loads of summer sewing still to do😮. Once again, good luck with your move and be kind to yourself- moving is exhausting. Take care. Lynne😊
@@SewMyTime Thanks Lynne, it is exhausting, but it will be worth it in the end, I miss sewing though, have a great sewing week, Deb 🪡🧵💕
What a perfect box! The deer kit would be wonderful to keep your hands and mind busy whilst awaiting your sewing stuff. There are easier counted cross stitch for kids out there. I love the box knit fabric, the color is great. Take care!
@@amierikke6225 Thanks Amie, I have seen easier cross stitch projects that are small, I should see if Phoebe is interested first. The knit fabric is beautiful, great quality and weight. I keep thinking I won’t be busy but cleaning takes up a lot of time. Have a great sewing week, Deb 🪡🧵💕
We've just had Adult Daughter and her 3 kiddos with us for a week. Miss6 told me that I need to make her a jarmy dress (or, a nightie to you and I). She's chosen her 2 flannel fabrics so in the next few days I'm busy sewing for the 3 grandbabies.

Hi Deb, wouldn’t the adjustment you made for a flat bottom lower the rise? I’ve got both a longish waist to crotch and a quite flat bottom. I’m still trying to get a decent fit, save a bunch of skirts to avoid the whole mess, but pants I’ve done basically a small bust adjustment in the middle of the largest part of the back piece. Made cuts from 4 sides, and overlapped them. I have also tried with some success to just shave off a bit of the inner thigh piece.
Hi Crafty Mystic, yes it does lower rise slightly, but I’m short so that is no issue for me. You are correct it can be done the same as a small bust adjustment, just slashing and overlapping. Doing a toile is really the only way to see how much you need to take out as you still need to be able to sit down without them pulling down at the back, I tested all of my movements on the toile. I do sometimes take small amount off the inner and outer thighs evenly so it still sits straight. It is really just a try everything which can be difficult when your doing it on your own, I usually get a better fit when I’m doing it on other people. Have a great sewing week, Deb 🪡🧵💕
Great makes Deb, as always. I think you’ve made a beautiful job of those salopettes. I really like the Trudy Turtleneck. I’ve missed that pattern, but it will be a definite make for winter. Here is the UK after all the cold and wet of recent weeks, summer has finally arrived. Bliss, but you’ve guessed it, now some people are moaning that it’s too hot 🤣🤣🤣 We’re never satisfied. Have good week Deb and see you next time 😊xx
Hi Shelly, yes the Trudy Turtleneck is a great top, I have so many now, and this is the first time I haven’t used merino wool and I really pleased with the outcome, it very warm. No one is ever happy with the weather, it’s either too hot or too cold 🤣🤣. Have a great sewing week, Deb 🪡🧵💕
Your new garments are lovely, Deb.
Thanks Anne, have a great sewing week, Deb 🪡🧵💕
Great makes as always. Your sewing always looks so professional. As for packing - hate to say it- but they will fly by!!! Enjoy your week with the grandchildren- precious days. I miss mine so much😢 . Anyway, have a great week. Happy Sewing 🧵😊. Lynne
Thanks Lynne, I have managed to pack up all of my fabrics except for what I will be using in the next few weeks, which is a start. I’m looking forward to spending time with my grandchildren it should be great fun. Have a great sewing week, Deb 🪡🧵💕
Love your two new makes, Deb. It's cold in North Wollongong too. I have also found it challenging to buy good quality sweater fabrics as it's so disheartening when you take the time to make a garment then it pills after the first washing. I bought some excellent french terry from Tessuti, and also Knit Wit in WA have good quality fleecy. Your coming week sounds busy - grandchildren and packing. Have a fun time.
Thanks Julie, I forgot about knitwit in WA, Deb from sewing seams with Deb keeps telling me they have great quality fabric, I should go online and have a look. I’ll also have a look at Tessuti, usually expensive but you’re right very disappointing when it pills after one wash, thanks for the tips. Have a great sewing week, Deb 🪡🧵💕
Oeh, the Jumpsuit came out so nice!! I love the color and the polo neck top! It's always so nice spending time with fellow southern hemisphere friends! Our houses are always so cold!
Thanks Katinka, the jumpsuit would look great on you too, the fabric for the polo neck is so warm, just what we need in winter. Our house heats up well with the central heating, but I’m dreading the power bill. Have a great sewing week, Deb 🪡🧵💕
@@dbdesignsandsewingaustrali5668 in South Africa, it is un affordable for most people to use central heating
Deb your jumpsuit looks very smart. It have lovely shaping. I brought some merino wool, to make some more Trudy Turtle neck. Its such a comfy top. Have fun with your grandchildren next week. 🌺🌼
Thanks Libby, the jumpsuit is very comfortable. Where did you buy the merino wool from? I’m looking forward to having my grandchildren for the week, it should be fun. Have a great sewing week, Deb 🪡🧵💕
@@dbdesignsandsewingaustrali5668 l brought it from The Fabric Store. I brought it a while ago, l think they had a sale as l brought a few colours. When l finish making my holiday clothes, l can get stuck into making more Trudy Tops.
