Sunday sewing chat | 16 June 2024

Happy Sunday!
I couldn’t quite make the deadline for this week’s Friday sews, so I opted for a Sunday chat instead. Come with me on my Sunday walk while I talk about what I have been up to the past week.
The sound is a little poor here and there due to the wind and traffic, but I hope you’ll bear with me this week.
Patterns I talk about:
Paradise patterns - Protea pants: paradisepatterns.com/products...
Forget me not patterns - Vera top: forgetmenotpatterns.com/en-no...
Friday pattern company - Davenport dress: fridaypatterncompany.com/prod...
Wardrobe by me - men’s summer pants: wardrobebyme.com/en-no/produc...
Tessuti fabrics - Esther shorts: www.tessuti-shop.com/products...
I briefly mention #sewfruity24, and you’ll find more information about that here: ‪@blossomsandwich4232‬
Do you have some summer sewing plans that you are excited about? I’d love to hear what you are working on at the moment.

Happy belated birthday, Karen! Sounds like you and your daughter had fun.

[@madebykarenmarie]

Thank you! Yes, we had a really fun day. I love these festivals, and I try to go every year.

I visited Norway a few weeks ago and the weather was glorious sunshine! I think we were very lucky. Looking forward to seeing your fruity make(s) 😍

[@madebykarenmarie]

Oh cool, Yvette! Yes, we had such a lovely weather spell in May this year. The weather here is changable, so I’m glad you got go see it at its best :)

Sorry you got caught out there in the rain. Thanks for sharing

[@madebykarenmarie]

Oh, it was fine, Zelda. I had plenty of dry clothes at home :) But I really do hope we get some more sunshine soon!

Hi Karen Marie. I too was influenced by Adele and have purchased the Esther shorts. I’ll be interested to see how you get on them. My plan is to also trial the Gilbert shirt in the same fabric to make a co-ord set. Both new patterns for me 😊
I have a few projects to complete first but I’m looking forward to trying these - I have made a Helen’s Closet pattern before and I really like her instructions. Although I probably can no longer call myself a beginner I do prefer comprehensive instructions 😊
Thanks for sharing your walk - it doesn’t seem so long ago since you were surrounded by snow 😊

[@madebykarenmarie]

Ooh. How exciting, Alison. I really like Helen's closet, too. I'm sure the co-ord set will look great, and I agree that these patterns should work well together. Please share how you get on with them when you get started.
Haha.. I know! Seasons change quickly here. One day winter coat.. a couple of weeks later it is tshirt and shorts :)

You've had 3 weeks of glorious weather in May? Wow! I think we've had 3 days in the Netherlands. All the other days since November last year are grey and wet 😭

[@madebykarenmarie]

I know! It is very unusual. Last year it was snowing in the middle of May. This year, I actually managed to get a little tan on my legs -- in May! Weird. Fingers crossed that we get a little more sun in the Netherlands as well as in Norway soon! :)
