Oh dear, reminds me of the time I decided to rush to town at the last minute, stuck on first pair of boots I grabbed, and shot off to Milton Keynes. Just over half an hour later I’m trying to look cool in John Lewis when I hear the piping voice of a little boy about 20 yards away “why has that lady got odd shoes on?” Aaaggghhh yep I’d grabbed odd boots, exit quickly very red faced trying to crouch so my trousers dropped down over the boots!! 🐾🐾
Spaghetti! (straps) So annoying when a word won't come! I told my son that my orchid has 'gone to sleep' because the word dormant refused to come! Love your Zadie, Rachel 😍
I had to laugh, I was sewing a black merino top tonight and you said “it’s no fun sewing black” 😮 I totally agree. ❤
Have you thought of instead of cutting off the length, take it up by putting in pintucks and then attaching the frill. The Pin tucks don't have to be narrow.💜
The dress and jumpsuit look great!! You can always take some clear elastic, and stitch it to the inside of the pocket top-it will help keep it cinched in a bit. I've done this in the past with pockets and necklines, works nicely. :+)
Vogue patterns 165 cm to 168 cm
Thinking your fabric choice for SewFruity is the smaller scale lemon 🍋 print green background 🤔 clutching at straws here 😂
Great dress in progress. If the neckline gapes, one of the easiest ways to remedy it is to do a little running stitch at the extreme edge of the lining and catch a few threads of the fabric every inch or so and gently ease the neckline into submission. Doing so between the lining and outer fabric gives the best finish. Obviously if there is a lot of extra gaping, lifting the shoulder will be needed also. Hope this is helpful
Love you vlog & your makes. I just saw a great tip to avoid makeup mishaps - put a silk scarf over your head and even when pulling a turtleneck over - you keep makeup off your garment!
Hi Rachel, I agree with you on the printed jumpsuits and pants, I feel the same way and I have donated my big print zadies and kept my plain linen ones which I enjoy every summer. However, I do enjoy (and reach for) the jumpsuits and pants made with ditsy subtle color prints. They turned out as versatile as the plain colors for me. But I am careful when choose said print, it has to be very ditsy and quiet colors. Give it a try ☺ All the best!
Love all your makes and plans, Rachael. You seem in a happy place, which is great! I still haven’t made a Zadie, you have inspired me to have a go!
Thanks for a lovely catch up. Unusual for a man to underestimate length! 😉Have a great weekend with Layla. xx
I converted the back pleats into darts for both my Zadies and they sit much more "smoothly" 👍🏻
Great vlog as always. I have made a bodice block and a trouser block which I use to alter commercial patterns so they fit me, love the embroidery anglaise ❤❤
Good morning what a lovely vlog to have a coffee with. Can I start by saying you look amazing your hair is gorgeous. Your fabrics for Layla are just wow she will look so cute in them can’t wait to see them. All you fabrics are lovely the FG ones are 🤩 Love the black zadie too thanks for sharing have a lovely weekend xx
Lovely vlog. I do think vogue make for ladies around 9 ft tall. I love that blue fabric though
Your looking gorgeous. I love the idea of seeing how you use your bodice block. Love the fabrics for Layla,maybe you could make a sunhat out of the scraps? I'am glad you didn't listen to Issac as the fabric is beautiful.I bet when it's finished not only will he like it but he won't realize it's the same fabric.
I love the black Zadie, it is so beautiful on you! Also your other makes are gorgeous. Have a wonderful weekend with your granddaughter.
So great to see you a few times on your channel this week - looks like your plan to work a little less is working out - great for us also!!!
So fun to draft a top you really like.
