    Hello Amelia, well done getting so many garments made for frugal 22. Your children's clothes are beautiful and your dress is gorgeous. The lilac material suits you so well and such a lovely floaty dress. Love your Bloomsbury blouse in the cotton lawn. Hope you have a good weekend. 🌻

    Brilliant! I loved the Barcelona dress too but hesitated because, like you, a shift is NOT flattering on me at all. Your solution is so good that I'm having a "Duh!" moment, like why didn't I think of that!? Well done. Love your channel.

    Great makes for you and your children. I love your dress with the tiers. I have an assortment of quarter yards and half meters of Liberty Tana lawn to make that adorable skirt for my granddaughter. (I bought some of the lawn here in the US and some directly from Liberty London, hence the mix of yards and meters.) Thanks, Amelia.

    Oh my goodness, I love, love, LOVE your Barcelona dress and how you hacked it!! Shift dresses don’t work for me either. I’ve had tiers on the brain lately and have wanted to incorporate them into some kind of summer dress. You totally inspired me with this make. I have a similar pattern with shoulder ties so hopefully I can give it a go this year 🤩

    Amelia, is the bodice on the Barcelona dress lined? It is lovely on you. I wondered whether you had raised the back as it is too low to wear a bra with, going by the website photos.

    • @sewamelia
      @sewamelia  Před rokem +1

      Hi Sandra, the bodice is lined and I didn't raise the back. I do tie the ties quite close to the bodice, which makes it high enough to wear a bra underneath. I hope that helps!

    I love your makes and that blouse is beautiful. I agree about the ruffles. I think what you’ve gone for is better.
    I have a question for you regarding the t-shirt you made for your boys. Apologies but long explanation it’s on its way - I’ve been wanting to make a t-shirt dress for my niece who is 9 years old and I thought of using that pattern. She lives in another country and I’ve been given her measurements but I’m not sure what size to cut for her. My concern is that her shoulder width (measured from the back by my mum who is a dress maker) is 38 cm which seems to be even bigger than the biggest size. Would you mind telling me what your son’s shoulder width is? Sorry for the lengthy explanation but I thought I’d put it into context.
    Your daughter’s skirt is very cute and I really like the fabrics you went for 😊

    • @sewamelia
      @sewamelia  Před 2 lety +1

      Hi Noelia, thank you for your comment. I checked my son's measurements again and his shoulder width is about 38cm. For reference, his chest measurement is 74cm. I made him the size 9, in the regular size, which fits him really nicely.
      I hope that helps! ❤

      @mnoeliarc Před 2 lety

      @@sewamelia thanks Amelia, that is so kind ok you to check 😊. My niece’s chest is 70cm so it’s very similar so it sounds like size 9 should be ok. It’s so difficult to make something for someone when not near them.
