    Jordan looks so good in the Melliot, it was very kind of you to give it up! Happy birthday Jordan 🎉

    @LostMyThread Před 22 dny

    That Melilot Top is so beautiful. Jordan is super lucky! You went above and beyond with birthday gifts this year. It's sweet to see them bringing you a cocktail, so clearly you are both spoiling each other. ❤ I never thought to make a t-shirt dress from the core t-shirt. You are giving me some serious ideas!
    I'm sure I've commented on your blanca flightsuit before but come on.... How could I not say how amazing it looks! 😍🔥
    You've been knocking out of the park lately!

    Valerie! Your pattern matching on the pocket of Jordan’s shirt needs mentioning! *chefs kiss 🤩 Jordan is so very lucky! I love a good play suit/romper, but you might get more wear out of it in the fall and spring if you keep it long. Your Blanca is perfection! Glad to see you’re back filming! 😍

  • @lenac2022

    I love the Sadie long, make another as a play suit.

  • @nunciat57
    @nunciat57 Před 28 dny +3

    Lots of great makes! I would keep the Zadie long. It looks so elegant and fits great. There’s more fabric out there to make the play suit. 😄

  • @mel_issa__
    @mel_issa__ Před 28 dny +1

    The Zadie looks so nice, in the fall you will be so glad you made this. You might want the romper version now cause it's so warm.

  • @beccaf4533

    Beautiful makes! Boiler suit is exceptional!

  • @ChristineSewsALot

    What a treat to turn on CZcams with my morning tea and see you! I would turn the jumpsuit into a romper. I agree, you will get more wear out of it. Your Core T shirt dress is so pretty. You should be proud of your Blanca. I have not sewn a lot lately. Mostly quick repeats.

  • @esi0313

    I love your makes and your serger story! Thanks for sharing. ❤

  • @TIMAbyFK
    @TIMAbyFK Před 28 dny +1

    Lovely makes!! Also I loved the serger story. Your Blanca flight suit was amazing!!! And fun and playful tier skirt! Love your fabric choices!

  • @bravelittlebuckaroo
    @bravelittlebuckaroo Před 29 dny +2

    So many great makes! I am gearing up to make the Blanca Flight Suit (someday, I'm scared!😅) and I am OBSESSED with yours. It's amazing. I've never made a jumpsuit before, so I've been thinking about starting with the Zadie because it seems like it might be a bit more simple to make and fit. Your new Zadie is beautiful on you. I love it long, but I think it would also be super cute if you shortened it. Thanks for sharing your projects! 💙

    • @what_valerie_makes
      @what_valerie_makes  Před 29 dny +1

      The Zadie is a great beginner jumpsuit pattern. The binding around the front can be a little fiddly but it comes together really nicely!

  • @francesfrancisco3381
    @francesfrancisco3381 Před 23 dny

    A play suit would be nice, but I wouldn’t change this one. It looks great on you and you will get a lot of use of it when the weather is cooler.

    Gorgeous makes Val! 🥰🥰🥰
    I missed you, happy to have you back with us. 🧵🪡👗
    As for the Zadie I would go for the long length, but you do you. You will look gorgeous no matter what. 🌹

    I missed you! I am so glad to see you and all your new makes! Your mauve/purple jump suit looked fabulous on you! Thanks for sharing!

    Wow! You have been busy! Great to see you back. Lucky Jordan! You made some wonderful gifts for their birthday! Very clever!
    I love the Core T-Shirt dress! Beautiful fabric! But, I love love love your Bianca Flight Suit! Just awesome!
    I just finished The Assembly Line cuff sleeve vest in a headstock wool. I lined it and it is so warm! We have had some 0 degree mornings here. I wore it twice in the first week after making it. It is great when a make is perfect!
    Happy sewing!

      Thank you so much!! There is nothing better than having something turn out just as you wanted!🤗

    @debsmadethis Před 29 dny

    Super makes Val! Love your Blanca, my fave recent makes are my oxbow pants my gofre blouse and chanterelles! Glad your serger was an easy fix!

    • @what_valerie_makes
      @what_valerie_makes  Před 28 dny +1

      Thank you! I haven't made any of those patterns but would love to try them out sometime.

    The zadie would look good as a playsuit :)

    Glad you’re back! I‘m definitely going to make that Luna jumpsuit 😇

    That Blanca is stunning 🤩

    Hi Valerie. thank you for sharing your makes. Your boiler suit is tremendous on you - I completely get why you are so proud of it!! Sharon PS, I think the zadie would look great as a playsuit.

  • @Kakkydidit
    @Kakkydidit Před 25 dny

    Great makes! The Zadie looks lovely long on you, but I'll bet you'll enjoy having the playsuit even more, unless you need to take it to SoCal for something kinda fancy!
    Cheers --Kelly

    • @what_valerie_makes
      @what_valerie_makes  Před 23 dny

      Thanks Kelly! I think I am going to keep it as is and make another one as a romper/playsuit.

  • @sewonsister
    @sewonsister Před 28 dny

    Yay! Your're back. I am making another Gilbert Top in some natural linen. I think I might want to dye it. It's going to be a part of a set with some very simple Pants No. 1. I am sure I'll get a lot of wear out of them both. Happy sewing!

    • @what_valerie_makes
      @what_valerie_makes  Před 28 dny

      Sounds lovely! What color are you thinking about dyeing them?

    • @sewonsister
      @sewonsister Před 28 dny

      @@what_valerie_makes I’m not sure yet. I’m considering using a natural dye. So I’m in research mode right now. Maybe a pink or purple? I also like green. We’ll see! ✂️❤️

    Agree with Christine - a lovely treat to see you today! You are so fun and creative and I've been wondering what you're up to. Your t-shirt dresses are fabulous. I can see why you have them on rotation. Jordan's presents are all great! I've bought several times from Spoonflower and have always been super happy with the fabric I've bought. My favorite is your Blanca flightsuit. WOW. Great video and thanks for sharing, xo

  • @coal.sparks
    @coal.sparks Před 28 dny

    Romper romper romper! It’s funny that you’ve been gone for a couple months. I only discovered your videos a few days ago with the Sew Frugal challenge so I feel like you’ve been here. :D your videos are really inspiring me to get sewing. :)

    • @what_valerie_makes
      @what_valerie_makes  Před 28 dny

      I'm happy you're enjoying my videos🤗 Thank you for being here!

  • @Nikicowhead
    @Nikicowhead Před 29 dny +1

    Keep it long and make another version as a playsuit 😊

  • @dellwilliams9124
    @dellwilliams9124 Před 28 dny

    Happy to see a video from you - you’ve made some fabulous things! I am headed to LA in August, too. Are you planning any fabric shopping while you are there - if so, would love to hear the places you are hoping to visit?

    • @what_valerie_makes
      @what_valerie_makes  Před 28 dny

      If I have time I want to go to Blue Moon Fabrics! We won't be there for too long and we have a packed schedule but I'd love to get to at least one fabric shop☺

  • @kersenzomer2194
    @kersenzomer2194 Před 29 dny

    You've convinced me I think I need t shirt dresses in my life.

  • @maryellenoneill9061
    @maryellenoneill9061 Před 28 dny

    Welcome back. Great gifts for Jordan! Did you use any heavy interfacing in the Harrison bag? It looked quite supple….just wondering. Love your Blanca & the skirts and the flowered t-dress. Haven’t tried a jumpsuit for myself yet…but I’ve been making a few Juliet tops from LN- sleeveless for the summertime. Glad you still made time to sew during your break.

    • @what_valerie_makes
      @what_valerie_makes  Před 28 dny

      Thank you so much!! The instructions say to not interface waxed cottons but I have fully interfaced all the lining fabric. It is a sturdy one!

  • @joyjoybrn
    @joyjoybrn Před 26 dny

    Just make another zadie in a different fabric. This one is perfect for spring, falll and evenings.

  • @mel_issa__
    @mel_issa__ Před 28 dny

    Maybe the skirt is a little bigger because the fabric is a looser weave than the previous fabric causing it to stretch more? I LOVE that skirt btw, might need that fabric in my life 😅

    • @what_valerie_makes
      @what_valerie_makes  Před 28 dny +1

      You are probably right about the weave of the fabric. I would highly recommend it though...it is lovely to work with.

  • @lenac2022
    @lenac2022 Před 27 dny

    I had the same experience with spoonflower, the colors are not as bright,disappointing.

    • @what_valerie_makes
      @what_valerie_makes  Před 27 dny

      I agree. At least for the cotton canvas I was a little disappointed...
