I saw a vlog that Rachel from stitched up did on the hungry bum and I think that was the Thea shorts x

You might like to look at the Upland Trousers by Itch to Stitch. I'm plus sized and the pair I made fitted me perfectly, rise and all, with no alterations. I am planning on making another pair with the green fabric which was in your box with the Tilly and the Buttons pants pattern. It's winter here in New Zealand so the green will make a lovely spring colour. Take care.

Have you seen the Chalk and Notch Isle trousers/jeans? You may be able to get a better fit more easily with the Isle because the waist has darts you can adjust and no waistband. Also, the front has patch pockets so easier to grade. I have made two pairs and the instructions are great!

Lovely inspirational video, as always ❤

I found this so helpful as I am also plus size. The soi tee shirt looks stunning on you.The cut is so flattering on you and I love the sleeve length. The blue dress looked lovely on you.If you decide to make it again you could always place the pattern pieces on top of the made dress to help remind you of how you altered it. I remember you starting your business,many years ago,before others.I am so pleased to see how you have developed and grown.

Thanks for sharing Hayley and well done for persevering with the Hughes dress. 💙🧶🌈🍓

Hi, all beautiful makes - in particular the blue cloud t shirt and that fabulous dress. I am planning to sew up a few dresses for our summer later on this year. I find it easier to eliminate the pockets when sewing up a new trouser pattern - and then once I am happy with the fit, I reintroduce the pockets. So good luck with your next trouser project. A tried and true trouser pattern is just pure gold. Happy sewing. 🌸

Thanks a bunch, friend. Already have shortened some new Levi jeans from 34 inseam to 31 inseam for my friend's husband. She said he was so pleased how they looked, that she brought another pair for me to alter..

by the way, love my subscription box every month, thank you 🐾🐾

still trying to decide which sizes of the Hughes dress I need for which bits of me! wish me luck! 🐾🐾

Karina of Lifting Pins & Needles has fabulously simple and very well explained videos on increasing front and back rise and she shows grading of pattern using all the pattern pieces which is so simple …. I’m sure you’ll be impressed

Just made my first dress after about 40 yrs! It’s huge but I love it! 😂 it’s supposed to be loose & roomy, but I think I might need to alter a wee bit…….thank you for the inspiration ❤

I would love to order your boxes but I live in the US and I'm not sure of shipping costs. Would you tell me the cost of the Classic box with shipping to US?

Made a peasant blouse with flouncy sleeves, it’s lovely and sooo comfortable! Love double glaze

0:04 I enjoyed your video and can't find the video that you mentioned about different fabrics. I'd love to watch that, thanks!

DAAAANGGG that's so smart. Will definately remember this 😮👌🏽

You’re a bit too chatty so I had to leave before tutorial finished

Each time I make one of these, they come out a lot smaller than I measured! I’m even including extra for seam allowance plus another inch as instructed. Any tips on how to stop this? I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong 😕

Not gonne lie, for a second i thought the interfacing was a dryer sheet. I wonder if a dryer sheet would work as well 🤔

❤❤

So you're creating new cloth. Nice.

I was about to give up on 2 pairs of jeans because of wear like this! Thank you!

Clever! 👏👏

Thank you, some great pattern ideas.😊

Awesomeness 😅😊😊❤

So much fun to be had!!

This felt like a 1:1 masterclass for jersey neckline, very well executed. Thank you!

Great vlogg loads of tips taking the fear away from sewing with double gauze thank you❤

I have a question! Does cotton double gauze tend to be a little bit see-through...?

Will definitely try the ballpoint needle for my fine or snag-prone fabrics - thanks for passing on the tip👍💕

This video really was useful as I have often looked at it but never bought any.

I like using clips.

Would like to know what settings you used on your serger.

I just found your channel today Hayley, and I'm totally sold! I love your humor, your real and true life comments. You made a great video, that was fun to watch. I'm OLD, so I've been sewing since before the ice age, but I still love to watch and learn like the rest of the crowd. I'm hoping to learn at least one thing every day until I'm gone. That's called growing. Have a great day, hope you didn't get drenched waiting at the school, and yes, summer is coming. Here, it is already miserable humidity and heat. So keep up the hope! Sadie...

I have a metre of double gauze on my "next" pile that I'm planning to make into PJ shorts so this was great timing. Thanks for the tips and tricks.

Thanks Hayley. I’ve never sewn with double gauze and this video has given me the confidence to give it a go.

🎉 I want to make something for my grandbabies from this fabric (besides a blanket)… do you have any recommendations? ❤❤❤ Thank you for sharing ❤❤

This has been very helpful. I have been making drawstring ruched pants, but I’m having trouble 1. making the drawstrings with a fabric that frays so much, and 2. making the button holes in this fabric. Ah. I do like to set myself up for a challenge…..😅

Thank you for all the tips. I’ve washed my pink dg but haven’t decided what to make yet… maybe pj bottoms from Friday pattern co sport shorts…. 🧐. Looking forward to July’s box. (I need to update my house #… ). I just stitched up the honeycomb/ bee cross stitch. It’s very cute! Done in two days. 😮

great video Hayley! thank you for the education on any fabrics that you give us. I love double gauze and got some many moons ago in one of your boxes. Still have some in a different color and was thinking today about what a nice nightgown it would make. It does grow for whoever hasn't used it. In my case, since I grew a bit, this has been a blessing. xx Karen

Thank you for the tips for double gauze. I’ve recently purchase some DG to sew the Agnes Pyjamas.

when you press double gauze do you use steam? xx

Lovely video thank you. I am tempted to make bed shorts in some fabric I have as it will be so soft. I made a blouse with double gauze once and it didnt drape well so was put off but you have encouraged me to have another go ❤

Thanks Hayley! I learned the hard way about ironing double gauze - I didn’t know - and when I wore the dress I’d made, it just grew and grew! Now I iron before I sew, so it grows first!

Thanks so much for compiling all this info! I’m just going to start a project with double gauze and I feel more prepared now!

Thank you so much! I love double gauze fabrics and was just shopping for clothes made of it yesterday. I've never sewn with it, but will try now!

I made a Donny shirt in double gauze, and Pj bottoms, love them, so comfy! now on the hunt for some lovely patterned double gauze for a dress. Do you think DG would be good for the RANI skirt? 🐾🐾

Thanks for the info

I was going to sew the Geranium dress by Made by Rae for my granddaughter in the watermelon double gauze from one of your boxes. The bodice is lined. Seems like two layers of double gauze might be two thick (4 layers of fabric?). Can you line double gauze with another type of fabric? It is a summer dress.
