I completely agree re large sizes in charity shops, so it's nice to hear someone agrees with me. I won the Zadie jumpsuit pattern at Sew brum... another must make xx
Oh yes Kate you absolutely must make it it's such a lovely garment! I'm forever buying clothes in charity shops that are far too small because, fabric and because, colour blocking!
Loving the idea of a velvet zadie - kept thinking about making zadie in summer and kept shelving now I'm thinking a party zadie.
Yeaaaaaaah party Zadie! Also I think layering up with a long sleeve tee (particularly a roll neck) will be ace in winter
Happy 6 month Anniversary! 🍾
Thank you!
Love the Zadie Jumpsuit in that lovely fabric!! It will be killer in the velvet also!! Great review, and fun fabrics! :+)
Thanks so much! I love it and it gets lots of wear! sorry I seem to have missed this comment until now!
So glad that you are back xxx
Awwe. your vlogs always make me smile when I am having a crappy day. Thank you Laura. Love your upcycle PSA
AHH thanks so much that's so lovely to hear 🧡🧡
That grey duvet cover would look great as a Zadie jumpsuit especially if you were to colour block parts of it with some red ankara fabric.
Oooh I do have some red Ankara but I think it's too lightweight to pair with the Ankara's I have in my stash :/
Great job!
Thank you!
Glad you got your sew-jo back Laura! I love the wax print Zadie! I think a Zadie in the dark grey velvet will be amazing! The teal plaid is gorgeous - definitely your colours ❤️❤️❤️
Can't wait to see yours Lynne! :):)
😃
That teal check is beautiful and you are right, those colours look incredible next to your skin. I was surprised when you said skirt, not that I think it won't make a lovely skirt but I was seeing aster shirt with long sleeves.
Ohhhhhh now you've got me pondering. It's lovely and soft it'd be an ace shirt. I think it's because I originally said "ooh trousers" and my mum responded "golf trousers?" Haha so I toned down to a skirt
The sewjo always comes back. We just need a break sometimes. And I’m definitely making a an Ankara Zadie Jumpsuit. Love it xx
Can't wait to see your Zadie!!
Haya. Happy 6 months. Your Wax print Zadie is just gorgeous. Glad you got your sewjo back. Thanku for sharing another lovely video.
Thanks Anna! I'm so pleased too. Violet here we come :)
It seems so many of us lost our sewjo recently - glad yours is back (think mines creeping back too). Can’t wait to see the velvet Zadie jumpsuit 😍
I wonder if it's the change of the season? Glad yours is creeping back too! Oh me too I cannot wait to sew it! I'm hoping I can style it with converse for slightly more casual too??
The Specky Seamstress velvet is allowed any time Oct- Feb 👍🏼
Congratulations on your six month anniversary 🎉🎂🥂. Love your plans it’s great when a male inspires many more. You’re thrifty haul is amazing 😊 secret pyjamas mmm 🥰 love B 🐝xxx
Love a secret pyjama! Ooooh maybe I should crack open the bubbly tonight!
Good thinking 🤔 😂😂😂and I meant make not male inspires you (as if😬😳) B🐝xxx
Glad to hear your sewjo is back! Your jumpsuit is gorgeous! I'll be making my jacket this weekend yay!!! That's very good of you to be thoughtful to bigger people who need the second hand clothes I appreciated that even tho I dont tend to buy clothes.
Thanks Claire! Yay can't wait to see it :) I just need to add buttons to mine!
The teals and greens are divine, great find :-) .... And your pattern placement on the wax print couldn't be better!!! It looks amazing!! Can't wait to see the velvet version, but I have doubts about the grey duvet.... Sorry :-(. Do you have the grey suiting to try on again and pretend it's the cotton to yourself? Similar shade to help preview I guess.
Yeah the grey duvet I think is destined for other things!
Great to see you got your sew jo back!
🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳
Hi. Take a look at Peppermint Pajamas by Blank Slate. The big cuff feature could help with the too little fabric problem. Trim your gray jumpsuit with some African wax cloth bias. No prison suit🤣
Hahah yes that could work! Oooh ok I'll take a look. Oh how about fabric painting on the grey?!
@@TheSpeckySeamstress I used a stencil on rayon and it was lovely. Gets lots of compliments.
Can’t wait to see that smokey grey velvet Zadie ❤️
Oooh I can't wait to make it
Happy 6 months anniversary!! Love your vlog...
Thank you Vicki! Here's to many more anniversaries and milestones!
Hi Laura, happy 6 month anniversary!! 🍾🥂🙋♀️ Love your African print jumpsuit. I'm in the middle of making a top and I haven't touched it in about 2 weeks. I'm just a bit bored with it I think, so I know the feeling. Great video, always love hearing what your going to sew next. 💕👍
Getting bored of a make is so frustrating especially if it's one you were really excited by when you started but give it a break and a pair of fresh eyes and it'll be an ace make I am sure!
You are so fun! Love your vlogs :)
Ah thanks Terri, that means a lot
Welcome back to your sew-jo! I love the jumpsuit and I'm with you on the length. I don't like mid calf on pants.
I'm loving it's return! Yeah I love the full length :)
I've just found you😀 Love your Zadie. Your ideas for subsequent zadies in re-purposed fabric are also brilliant I agree with some comments below re. adding some colour blocking with the grey. I think yellow would really lift it 💛 The texturing within the grey fabric is also interesting. Take care. Gabrielle
Thank you! I think I might just make a top version of the Zadie with the grey rather than the full jumpsuit!
Now I really want to make a Zadie too! 💕
It's so lovely! It seems to suit almost everybody!
Grey duvet would make lovely paper bag trousers or dungarees
Yeah I think I've gone off the idea of the Zadie in it but I might make a Zadie top hack - will still have LOTS of fabric left!
So agree with leaving the large size clothes for those that need them! Love the zadie, but don't know if I'd wear it in real (not sewing fantasy) life...
Haha I was a little worried about that and then I went for it and now I just want to live in it.
Sew glad you have your sew-jo back! What a lovely haul, too!
How about tie-dyeing the grey duvet cover? Or are there any colour blocking possibilities on the Zadie? Liked, perhaps, your hand measured hem (which I love!), and the ties, and/or something around the neck and or sleeves...? Anyway, just suggestions - please feel free to completely ignore me!
Whatever you make will be fab and I can’t wait to see what you come up with!
Happy sewing!
Jo

I really want to colourblock a Zadie! You can make it with the front bodice piece that folds under in a different colour! Glad you loved the hand hem!
Love your waxprint Zadie. How lucky the pattern placement turned out so perfect. Not sure about a whole jumpsuit out of the plain grey duvet, maybe widelegged trousers with printed top would be more you? Was just wondering how you wear the Zadies in the colder season. I want already want sleeves and layers. So nice to see you’re enjoying your sewing again. Looking forward to the makes. 💕
Thanks Lily! I'm planning on layering up my short sleeve Zadie with a roll neck underneath it! A long sleeve Tilly and the Buttons Freya top would be ace!
The Specky Seamstress Nice 👍
Oh I think I'm your 2000 subscriber?
Ooooh I wish you were. CZcams sometimes rounds up depending on what view you're in. We're getting closer though! Thanks for subscribing!
Great that your sewjo is back 😁 it's a shame we didn't meet at the show ☹ I love the fabric you got from M Rosenberg and Son ♥️
Ah were you there Sunday Alex? Sorry to have missed you! Did you get lots of nice things?
@@TheSpeckySeamstress yes, we went on Sunday (I'll post a video tomorrow morning ) and it really is a shame we didn't bump into each other- I was with my Mother in Law and I think you'd like her - and she you 😊x
Oh, shame! It was so busy!
I saw you there but was too embarrassed to speak to you, I got a Baby Lock Desire3 (never even used an overlocker!!)
Ah Adele you should have come said hi! I don't bite! Maybe next time :) ooh how exciting starting with the very best there!
?Do you have an inexpensive source for purchasing glasses? Do you order just the frames of do send them your prescription?
Hi! Yes I buy my glasses online from select specs or glassesdirect and sometimes from Zenni if I am seeing my friend who lives in the US
