Hi Deb, I think your Agnes tee looks fabulous. I don’t think it’s too clingy. It’s very flattering on you. And I absolutely love the skirt. The fabric is gorgeous.
Thanks Nicole, the skirt fabric really is lovely, quite and old fashioned look for Mr, have a great sewing week, Deb 🪡🧵💕
Kristie from Boo is lovely and really helpful. I was even brave enough to overlock the elastic on and then fold over and zigzag. The sleeved zip swim suit is fabulous for children.
Thanks Connie, you’re making it sound too easy 😂😂 if I turn up in bathers I have made and my daughters like them, they will be lining up🤣. Have a great sewing week, Deb 🪡🧵💕
You are always doing interesting and varied things, Deb! And you are so generous with sharing your experience. Your new skirt is so pretty!
Thanks Anne, have a great sewing week, Deb 🪡🧵💕
Wow Deb lots going on. I love that skirt pants pattern. When you mentioned yards for that pattern l wondered where the pattern came from. Looking forward to your art deco dress and that fabric is really nice. Laughed at your comment about great looking bums in bathers wandering around the shops! As an old girl similar age to you, even when l had a great bum not flat but round would l ever do that….definitely not. Hahaha…how things change!
I know Cat, it certainly is a bums out time, I’m shocked when I go to the beach let alone the shops, just jealous I think, I would have worn that when I was 18 years old, I remember my mother saying “you look like you are naked in that bikini”, I did make the bikini and it was brief. Now I’m thinking can I make boy leg bathers 🤣🤣. I think the pattern must have come out of a magazine I purchased. Have a great sewing week, Deb 🪡🧵💕
Ooohh wwweee you are going to be busy! 😂 Great plans Deb. I'll be particularly interested in the Tabor by SewHouse 7, that's been on my radar forever. Really love your Stina Skirt, the Venice fabric makes it look very 50's vintage and it'll look so great with the white Style Arc shirt you showed us. Have an amazing week
Thanks Catherine, I think the Tabor could be a very versatile pattern, have a w

Love your skirt and the fabric Deb.
Did l mention to you that you can get the rubber elastic from Boo Designs.
I look forward to seeing your pants skirt pattern made up.
You have a lot of projects to get through.
Happy sewing.😊
Thanks Libby I will check out Boo Design for the elastic, have a great sewing week, Deb 🪡🧵💕
Hi Deb. You are looking lovely in the dress you have on. You have been busy with your makes. I make swimmers for my grandchildren and use Boodesigns elastic. I find their elastic works well and lasts the lifetime of the garment. I just zigzag and twin needle to finish off. I don’t have a cover stitch. Happy sewing 🧵 🪡 💐
Hi Connie, thanks for the heads up on the elastic, I think I will buy it from Boodesigns, I see they have lovely swimwear patterns for kids too. I have looked up how to sew the elastic and I think I will zigzag on the use the coverstitch machine, I think I have purchased fabric from them before. Have a great sewing week, Deb 🪡🧵💕
Nice blouse on you.
Thanks Erica, have a great sewing week, Deb 🪡🧵💕
I look forward to seeing how your dress in the art deco fabric turns out like Deb. I’m still searching for the right pattern to suit my fabric from the Dahlia Sewsociety.
Hi Angela I’m interested to see how it turns out too 🤣. So many patterns to choose from, it’s hard to stop changing your mind, have a great sewing week, Deb 🪡🧵💕
Hello Deb, alot of great plans. Looking forward to seeing them all put together ❤️ 😀
Thanks Deb, hopefully I can put some of those plans into action, I have nearly finished the yoga bag so that will be good, have a great sewing week, Deb 🪡🧵💕
You are a "Dinamo"; wouldn't be surprised if your sewing machine demanded a vacation! 😍 Your work is beautiful.
Have you gone to the shops to try on different fabrics / styles of fitted shirts? I personally found that exercise enlightening.
Cheers and happy sewing. Joan
Hi Joan, I did think that when I was doing more of the machine quilting on the bag, it just goes hammer and tong and I hoped I wasn’t killing my machine. I have been to the shops, it does give me an idea of what to make, there are many lovely ready to wear shirts around that fit me, jeans I can only find Levi jeans to fit properly, it is a good exercise to do, and the Curated Closet gives you an exercise to do just that, although the book is not about sewing, it is well worth it, I do the same thing when I buy foundation, put it in in the shop, usually Myer, wear it home and see how it looks in a few hours time, as they all look pretty good when you first put it on. Have a great sewing week, Deb 🪡🧵💕
I love your skirt, especially that it is lined; the t-shirt is a bit clingy but maybe a FBA and also use a bamboo fabric, if you can find one. I have similar issues around the bust and hate to over emphasis it too much; But the total outfit look is fabulous ❤
Thanks Wendy, I think I usually use a thicker fabric for the tee shirt, I love the feel of the thinner soft and silky fabric, but it does show all my lumps and bumps 🙁. Have a great sewing week, Deb 🪡🧵💕
Love your skirt and the fabric - have been looking for something similar since trying on a blouse with a similar pattern in TS14+. Would love to see a video explaining the pleat vs gathered skirt process. It was actually a search for the Alana dress that brought me here - as a beginner, I’d love to see a sew along, that pleated waist is daunting!
Hi Sally, another subscriber just asked about how to pleat instead of gather so I will put together a video to explain how I do this, as I use this quite often to get a skirt joined to a bodice to sit flat. Have a great sewing week, Deb 🪡🧵💕
Sorry Holly, I can now see your name is Holly and not Sally, your handle name threw me 💕
I have the Simplicity pattern too and have never used it. Look forward to seeing yours. I love the swimsuit pattern and really admire your patience and skills to get it right. Have a great sewing week. 😊 Lynne
Thanks Lynne, I figure if I can get the pain swimsuit to fit perfectly I can then modify it to make any style, have a great sewing week, Deb 🪡🧵💕
I love your bathers. The fabric is so nice. Mine are not great. Not loving the process. Sewing the slippery fabric is not fun. I think I need a different pattern. I'm hoping the end result is rewarding 😂😂. I hope yours are much more cooperative. 😊😊 Sorry I can't be more help with the elastic. I think I got mine from either Spotlight or the remnant warehouse. I hope that helps❤❤
Thanks Katrina, I ended up buying some clear elastic from Spotlight as I have ordered some from Boo but it may take a while to get here, have a great sewing week, hope your bathers turn out well, Deb 🪡🧵💕
Hello Deb. Thank you for another 'inspiring' vlog! I, too have the Stina skirt pattern, but I haven't sewn it up, I also have the same Lady McElroy fabric (in the darker colorway), and am now considering making the skirt from the fabric. Could you please share what lining you use and where you buy it from please? The yoga bag is going to be fantastic and what a great idea you have of sewing around the fabric design (I hope you know what I mean...). I couldn't agree with you more regarding the YKK zips. Keep cool this Wednesday, it will be hotter here in Bendigo. Take care xxx
Thanks Alison, I usually use what I call bemsilk lining, I usually buy from super cheap fabrics but after going there the other day I think I would prefer to buy on line as there factory is so messy, here is the link, supercheapfabrics.com.au/products/lining-orange-120cm, they have many colours in stock and a few widths, you can just search lining and it will come up. With my first two skirts I used silk I had dyed in light purple, I do prefer a silky feel lining rather than a cotton lawn as I think it hangs better and does puff out which is what I wanted to avoid for a smooth look over the hips. The yoga bag fabric just so happened to have the large images I could stitch around and is coming together nicely. I love the YKK zips too, if you’re going to the effort of sewing something yourself I think it is worth it. It will be hot in Bendigo on Wednesday, I hope you have aircon, have a great sewing week, Deb 🪡🧵💕
Hi Deb, your skirt is simply stunning. You mentioned that you are more likely to sew pleats rather than gathers in a skirt. Would you apply that same principle to a dress where the pattern calls for a gathered skirt to be attached to a bodice? Also, do you have a rough formula for calculating depth of pleat and number of pleats? I learn so much from your videos - they are excellent. 🌸
Thanks Julie, I do sew pleats in dress skirts when the skirt is supposed to be gathered, the first one that comes to mind is the Jolie dress by Nerida Hansen that I made the other day, it was supposed to be gathered but I pleated it instead. I usually make the pleats about 1cm deep, starting from the sides and creating a pleat on each side so it stays even working my way towards the centre, I just space them visually until it fits the bodice, so a little bit of a fiddle but to me it’s worth it as I want it to sit flat. I make the back the same as the front, hope this helps. Have a great sewing week, Deb 🪡🧵💕
@@dbdesignsandsewingaustrali5668 Thank you kindly for replying to my query 🌸
Kristen made bathers she could help you with the bather elastic. Good luck.😊
Thanks Noeleen, I will email Kristen and ask her what type she used, have a great sewing week, Deb 🪡🧵💕
Deb, I have also recently made my own swimwear. I used 6mm rubber swimwear elastic and stitched it i in with my overlocker. You just overlap it at the end. My first try was not perfect but I am now happy after my third attempt. I do not have a coverstitch so just fold it over after stitching in the elastic and sew it down with a 3step zigzag
Hi Mardine, I have ordered rubber elastic, but have purchased clear rubber, I will give that a try. I was hoping for just a single pass on the coverstitch machine but I don’t think that’s possible. They really come together quite quickly, I hope to get them finished this week, have a great sewing week, Deb 🪡🧵💕
@@dbdesignsandsewingaustrali5668 Also, for the bottom of the shelf bra I used underwear elastic and not the rubber elastic because it is softer on the skin. They do come together quickly! I went on a bit of a swimwear sewing binge once the bug bit and ended up making 3 sets 🙂
@@mardine9931 I used wider lingerie elastic with a soft fluffy side, I have no idea where it came from just had it in my elastic stash. Did you ever put underwire in them, Deb
@@dbdesignsandsewingaustrali5668 no, at 50 I am not a fan of underwire anymore, comfort all the way! 😃
@@mardine4871 I agree I’m 63 and hope I can get away without it
What about a V front and back with loops on the shoulders for the scarf to go through brooch centre front and the V lower an loops for the scarf at the back so th scarf Criss crosses at the back hope you can see my idea in your mind. Not good at discribing things. 😔🤔
That is a good idea, the loops would keep it in place well, lover v in the back the the front, I have been checking out patterns but there isn’t much, it is really all about the fabric. I do prefer a v-neck, that could work well, thanks for the fabulous idea, Deb 🪡🧵💕
It's very hard to find a cotton jersey with no lycra, I hate clingy at my age and size! The only place I have found it is at Spotlight, and sometimes it is not pretty.
I agree Marilyn, last time I bought the Spotlight one without Lycra it got a hole in it before it was even completed, luckily it was on a child’s top and I could sew it up and put a label on it. The quality is just not there, it must come either way the clingy fabric, have a great sewing week, Deb 🪡🧵💕
It`s a lovely skirt in vintage vibes! i love the dress you have on. Do you know what fabric it is?
Hi Elisabeth, it is quite vintage looking fabric, the Stina is a great skirt pattern. I’m wearing (I forgot to say as usual) an Armidale Dress by Style Arc and the fabric is Orchid Blue from Spotlight, I love this fabric, one of my favourites, a few people have told me they have purchased this fabric after seeing it made up. Have a great sewing week, Deb 🪡🧵💕
Hi Deb, can I ask what are you wearing please? I love your skirt with the Lady McElroy fabric 😍
Hi Elaine, I’m wearing the Style Arc Armidale Dress in a rayon from Spotlight called Orchid Blue, one of my favourite dresses, I love the fabric, have a great sewing week, Deb 🪡🧵💕
Hi Deb, I made swimwear many years ago and I’m sure I used clear elastic for them. 🧵🪡🇦🇺
Hi Letitia, I did buy some clear elastic at Spotlight today, as a few people have said they used it. Did you stitch the elastic on and the turnover and coverstitch or zig zag, thanks for your input I really appreciate it. Have a great sewing week, Deb 🪡🧵💕
