    I also bought the Bernadette Skirt pattern. Thank you for the sizing Information. I will definitely make a toile since I have a round bum😂

    I’ve yet to make the Bernadette Skirt and I LOVE pleats so I may make it with two front panels as well.

    Hi Amelia. I'm slowly building up my handmade wardrobe. My children are all grown now. So, I'm making a few outfits for my grandchildren while they still appreciate it.😂

    • @sewamelia
      @sewamelia  Před 10 měsíci

      You are so kind to sew things for your grandchildren! I love it when my children wear their special clothes their grandmothers made for them.

      Thank you so much! I wish we had more summery weather and I could make some more warm weather dresses, but it is great fun planning some autumn makes too.

  • @libbykilpatrick1578

    Lovely to have you back Amelia. Glad you had a good time with your family over the 'summer'. I actually thought of you when I saw the launch of the Bernadette skirt and I just love the idea of the two front hack.

    • @sewamelia
      @sewamelia  Před 10 měsíci

      Thank you so much for your lovely comment! It has been such a lovely family time in spite of the weather. I am really hoping the two front hack works out well for the Bernadette as there is so much that I love about the pattern!

    Lovely to see you back Amelia, really pleased you had some great family time. Your makes are beautiful as ever. I made the Sew Live Adele jumpsuit over the summer, a great design with a similar bodice to your two dresses. Thank you.

    • @sewamelia
      @sewamelia  Před 10 měsíci

      Thank you so much Mary. It really was very special family time. The Adele jumpsuit looks so great too - definitely one on my list for next summer!

    Glad you had a good time in August with your family. Great makes. Love your patchwork skirt shame the fit wasn't right. Looking forward to your next vlog. Thank you😊

    • @sewamelia
      @sewamelia  Před 10 měsíci

      Thank you so much Bridget. I was a bit sad about the fit of the skirt, but excited to try it with the pleats at the back.

  • @michellegreen2428
    @michellegreen2428 Před 10 měsíci

    Great makes, especially love your strawberry circle skirt 😍

    • @sewamelia
      @sewamelia  Před 10 měsíci

      Thank you so much. The strawberry skirt is my favourite too!

    Hi Amelia,
    Lovely to see you back on Saturday evening. The photos of your summer, with the family, looked very sweet, very Wind in the Willows.
    As always, enjoy seeing what you are making/have made. I liked the look of all the new makes. I don’t think I can pick a favourite between the puff sleeve dress you are wearing and the glamorous strappy date-night dress.
    We are racing towards the hot weather here in Adelaide. I’m watering my garden every other day. I’ve changed out of turtle necks into tee shirts and soon it will be time for longish linen and cotton dresses. Summer is my favourite season for the garden but I’m not looking forward to the 30/40 degree heat.
    I’ll cool off watching your makes as you gear up for Autumn and the festive season. Cheers🦘🇦🇺

    • @sewamelia
      @sewamelia  Před 10 měsíci +1

      Thank you so much for watching! Aren't summers in the garden just the best! I hope you enjoy starting to sew up all your lovely linen and cotton dresses - they really are my favourite. I'm not sure I am ready for the Autumn to arrive just yet!

  • @noshrinkingviolet1
    @noshrinkingviolet1 Před 10 měsíci

    Welcome back 🙂 some great makes 😍 yes unfortunately summer has not been great here in the UK 😕🇬🇧 so I've not really been making many summer dresses as I've wanted and definitely not been wearing many of my summer clothes either... Fingers crossed for next year 🤞🏼 looks like you still had a great summer holibobs 😃

    • @sewamelia
      @sewamelia  Před 10 měsíci

      It has been a bit sad not being able to get all the summer dresses out, hasn't it! We did still have a wonderful summer, in spite of the weather. I hope you did too!

  • @marywallace5248
    @marywallace5248 Před 10 měsíci

    I think your skirt is a bit small for you. It certainly looked better back to front! I thought you were wearing the French Navy Goldenrod dress! Have I imagined that you have made this beautiful new square neck dress?

    • @sewamelia
      @sewamelia  Před 10 měsíci

      Thank you Mary. It is so strange as the skirt actually fits with a goof amount of ease around my waist and hips, but it definitely looks (and feels) small around the bottom! I will try it again with pleats front and back as I think that will give me room where I need it! I have made the Goldenrod dress - in fact I am wearing it in this week's video. I really love it!

  • @susanperkins673
    @susanperkins673 Před 10 měsíci

    Was that lower slaughter where you wearing the blue jumpsuit,my favourite place love the Cotswolds if it was

    • @sewamelia
      @sewamelia  Před 10 měsíci

      Yes it was Lower Slaughter! It was such a beautiful part of England to visit, we had a glorious time there.

    • @susanperkins673
      @susanperkins673 Před 10 měsíci

      It is we stay in bourbon on the water and walk to lower slaughter been going every year for The last 10 years
