Thank you very much, that is very kind of you 😊

Thank you very much, it is always lovely to mix the older makes with the new and see how they work out together 😊

Thank you so much for your lovely comment, I am pleased you found some inspiration from some of the garments I shared. I hope you have fun making them if you choose to do so too 😊

I also just love the process of creating. I also love a challenge or patterns/garments that are interesting to make. I think that is what I was tryin to say at the end as these are not always my style or things that I can easily find a place in my wardrobe. I hope you have fun sewing and making with your new fabric and you find lots of joy in the process of making 😊

Thank you so much, I had fun filming this one 😊

Thank you for your kind comment, I think that finding and filling the gaps in our wardrobe is a never ending task. And also as you said figuring out why we don't wear items? I hope you have fun with your analysis and also making some lovely new garments too 😊

Thank you, yes my May was very much about mixing the old with the new. I did really enjoy some of my favourite items in May for sure 😊

Thank you very much. I think it is nice to show that we use the items that we have had for a while as well as the new ones. It was nice to mix it up like that in May 😊

Thanks Claire, that is very kind of you to say! I stuck to some of my all time favourites for May this year 😊

Thank you so much that is very kind of you to say 😊

Thank you, I am pleased you found it fun! I had fun filming this one too 😊

Thank you very much 😊

Thank you, I am pleased you thought it was fun to watch. It was fun fir me to put this one together 😊

Thanks Jyl, this was a fun one to film 😊

Oh that sounds like a super productive Me Made May! How wonderful! I love all things comfy too! It sounds like you have some fantastic sewing plans coming up now too! How exciting 😊

Thank you so much! I am really pleased with the new Zadie and I really like the colours of thr fabric too 😊

The Zadie jumpsuit is a very relaxed fit. I make the size 8 which is a size down from my measurements and it fits really nicely. I hope that helps. Also thank you for your kind comments about the chanel 😊

Thank you so much, I am very happy with these ones 😊

Thank you, this blouse is the Bakerloo Blouse by Nina Lee London. It is really fun to make a wear. I am glad you found the info about the linings useful! Thanks for watching 😊

I remember having sunlight soap on NZ when I lived there. I will see if I can get my hand on something similar here. Thank you 😊

Thank you so much, I really love the Marnie top. It was so much fun to make with the pin tuck detail 😊

@ameliaellensews I'm scared of that detail but definitely giving it a go at some point! Luckily Tillys instructions are always really clear so fingers crossed should be OK 😅 otherwise will bring it to the studio lol

You will be fine with the detail. The instructions are great and it is much easier than it looks! I did a practice of the technique on a scrap first which was really helpful too 😊 but of course you could pop down to the studio too 🥰

Thank you so much! I really love the colours in the dress I am wearing too, especially the print. Thank you for your comment 😊

Thank you very much, that is very kind of you to say. I really like the way they all coordinate together well too 😊

Thank you very much, I think I will just wear it now! I will keep you updated on my new makes for sure 😊

Thank you very much. I am really enjoying the knitting project. I will keep you updated on it for sure 😊

Thank you so much! It has been a really lovely project so far and a good step up for me too! I hope you get your projects completed soon 😊

Thank you so much, I will do that before the next wash. The stain is definitely shrinking so I think after the next wash it will be ready to wear 😊

@@ameliaellensews looking forward to the update. I’m sure over time the stain will fade. 🤞

Yes I do wear long dresses to cycle in, if it is raining I tuck them into my waterproof bottoms. If it is winter I tuck the bottom of a few places of the bottom of the skirt into the waistband of my leggings and if it is summer I wear shorts/bike shorts under my dresses that I tuck them in to. If it is a long cycle get changed into different clothes so I don't get too sweaty. I hope that helps 😊

Yes I do have a fabric stash! I have quite a big fabric stash! I am trying to work my way through it! It is a work in progress 😊

Thank you so much for the tips about removing the stain. I think I will wear the dress as it is now! And before I wash it next time I will will add the fairy liquid. Thank you so much for your kind words about the knitting, I am really looking forward to getting on with the rest of the jumper 😊

Thank you so much for your kind words about the knitting project and your advice about the stain! I think I will just wear the dress now the way it is and then before I wash it next time I will put some fairy liquid on it and let it sit for a good few hours 😊

Yes, this is a good idea and I am sure it will work. But the fabric is quite faded now and I don't have any of the original fabric left. I did consider a whole different skirt too. But I think the stain is small enough to try to remove it one more time and then just wear it. Thank you for your suggestion! 😊

Yes, this dress did feature on the Sewing Bee! I can't remember who made it though! It really is a lovely pattern. And not to difficult to make 😊

Thank you 💕I am pleased you liked it 😊

Thanks Jyl, I am really enjoying the knitting. It has been a great project to work on! It is a slow one but I hopefully it will be worth it in the end! 😊

Thank you very much! I really like the interesting detail on the neckline too! It also features on the sleeve cuff and waistband too! Are the cable needles the 4 different needles or the long round needle like I have? Sorry I don't know the difference. I usually would knit flat then sew the different parts up. I am enjoying knitting in the round so far though! 😊

Thank you so much for your lovely comment! I am really pleased with the colour choice of the jumper! I have also really enjoyed the process of knitting it. The Ellis and Hattie dress is so lovely to make and wear. I hope you enjoy it 😊

Thank you so much for the advice on the stain! I will give this a go! The stain has definitely shrunk which is great! I think it is wearable now but will give it one more wash after using the Fairy liquid as you suggested 😊

I have also used washing up liquid to remove oil/grease. Soak it in and then add water and do a bit of rubbing. Don’t put margarine on first

Thank you, I will give that a try! It is so much smaller than what it was! So hopefully that will just get rid of it all for good 😊

Thank you so much! I think it is much improved form what it was! And I think you are right it is wearable now 😊

Thank you so much. I think it will look good in that fabric, I am pleased you agree! Now I just have to make it 😊

Hello, I take the clips when it is quiet so no one sees. I am a teacher of sewing, crochet, mending, patchwork to adults. I work teaching sewing to children too and I am also work one day a week at a primary school! I manage to keep busy 😊

Thank you so much for your comment, that is very kind of you 😊

Thank you so much for your very lovely comment, that is very kind of you! I love making my clothes and I love wearing florals, I am pleased to hear that you love florals too, they always make me feel happy😊

Thank you very much 😊

Oh great, it is such a lovely looking pattern with lots of interesting features! I am really excited to make it for sure, will look forward to seeing your version too 😊
