- Hello everyone, I hope you are having a better week than me, turns out I did not have a spider bite as I thought it is actually shingles, oh joy.
Anyway, I have finished my Cottlesloe Bathers, by Megan Nielsen and they have worked out quite well for a test pair. I then made the Tabor V-neck vest and finally I made the Nerida Hansen half Sleeve dress, I'm very pleased with all of my makes this week.

It is the Half Sleeve Dress pattern I used in the Art Deco Fabric from a bespoke box from The Dahlia Sewciety.
I hope everyone has a wonderful sewing week and stay safe and well, Deb xx

Oh Deb , hope the relief you get for the shingles gets it under control. Thank you for doing the video when you are not feeling 100%💖
Thanks Rosemary, I hope to start to feel better by tomorrow, I do have another doctors appointment on Wednesday just to make sure my eye is ok. Have a great sewing week, Deb 🪡🧵💕
Sending prayers for speedy recovery and healing. Love your sews!
Thanks Betty 💕
Rest up and get better soon, love all your makes
Thanks Elizabeth, have a great sewing week, Deb 🪡🧵💕
Best wishes Deb. Hope you feel better soon.
Thanks Margaret, hopefully I will start to improve soon, have a great sewing week, Deb 🪡🧵💕
Oh no! Hope to see your recovery very soon. I had shingles about 10 years ago, I can identify. Great progress/experimenting with bathers, and some lovely makes - your tips are always helpful😊
Thanks Rebecca, hopefully I’m on the mend soon. Have a great sewing week, Deb 🪡🧵💕
❤ love from Liisa 🧡 Sweden ❤
Thanks Liisa, have a great sewing week, Deb 🪡🧵💕
Oh no please take careyou have made some beautiful garments thank you for taking the time doing the video 😊😊
Thanks Robyn, have a great sewing week, Deb 🪡🧵💕
Oh no, that is not good Deb. It sounds like you managed to start on the medication early enough - I pray that it is super effective and you recover nice and quickly. Your first pair of bathers are looking pretty impressive. I particularly love the white blouse and the effect of the wide band in the crossed over v neck style. This is very flattering and certainly should be a tried and true pattern. A band at the bottom hem would be a nice finish for a future sew. Take care. 🌸
Thanks Julie, I think anything made in a cotton fisherman knit needs to be finished with bands, it would give a nicer finish, but I love that pattern and the vest doesn’t take much fabric. Have a great sewing week, Deb 🪡🧵💕
you have been productive 🔥You have my sympathy re the shingles I had it in December and (apart from the eye) in the same position as you. Had my shingles vaccination (part 1 of 2) yesterday so hopefully Ill never get it again Keep on with the pain meds x
Thanks Linda, it seems to be the common place to get it, although not sure when I will be able to wear a bra again, not a good look for me 🤣🤣. Once I feel better I will be able to get a lot of sewing done I hope, have a great sewing week, Deb 🪡🧵💕
I’m so sorry for the discomfort and pain you are in Deb and l hope this shifts soon. Lovely makes and great choice on your deco dress. Thank you for sharing your experience with working on tencel which l’ve yet to sew. I may have only ever hemmed some jeans back in the 90s when they were all of the rage. Take care. 🤗
Thanks Cat, I seem to be getting worse before I get better. I’m loving the Art Deco dress I just need somewhere to wear it 🤣🤣. Have a great sewing week, Deb 🪡🧵💕
Hi Deb - Kristy here. I'm a newer aussie subscriber and wanted to come out of lurking to send some encouragement to you. Shingles pain can be 10/10 - you're a trooper! I hope you're able to recover quickly and the pain fades fast.
Thanks for posting an update on the swimmers and detailing the process. It will be exciting to see the next version and final reveal!
The Art Deco dress is beautiful! the scarf and brooch really caps it off!
You've now got me thinking 'what can I add a facing to so I can sandwich fringe/piping/whatever in it' 🤔🤔🤔
I appreciate you touching on your processes like fabric/needle testing. This is something I do too as I'm usually changing the fabric type on each project.
Thanks Kristy, it’s lovely to hear you are enjoying my vlogs, I’m hoping to give a few more details each time I film. I learn new things all the time, so I’m sure it helps someone make a garment they will love to wear. Have a great sewing week, Deb 🪡🧵💕
Get better soon, Deb. Shingles are meant to be nasty. Lucky for us your pain medication allows you to sew! Take care.
Thanks Alison, you can certainly tell when the pain medication wears off, have a great sewing week, Deb 🪡🧵💕
Know exactly what you mean about the cover stitch machine!! I started making the Cottesloe but must have picked the wrong size because I can’t even get my lining on. Your Cottesloe looks great - love the fabric.
Hi Marlene, I think getting the right fit for the Cottesloe is the most important thing, of course the fit can change depending on the fabric, have a great sewing week, Deb 🪡🧵💕
You poor thing Deb.
I believe shingles is very painful. Like a stabbing pain.
I hope you get better soon. Take care.
Your bathers look fantastic.
Thanks Libby, it is like someone has stabbed me from the back through to the front, not much fun, painkillers help, just a waiting game now. Have you made up your bathers yet, have a great sewing week, Deb 🪡🧵💕
@dbdesignsandsewingaustrali5668 No, not yet
I made the odgen cami this week. That looks nice. The only thing is that the lining doesn't cover all my boobs. Must be for an A cup.
Next one l will lengthen by 3". Rest up and take care. 🥰
Get well soon Deb. Shingles is a huge pain in every sense of the word. You are amazing to do a vlog. Thanks for posting ❤
Thanks Helen, I needed to do something as I’m sick of myself already, after the pain medication kicks in I’m okay for an hour, I do just sit in my sewing room some of the time doing nothing, or resting. Have a great sewing week, Deb 🪡🧵💕
So sorry you're suffering Deb. I know exactly how painful and debilitating shingles is. I hope you recover soon. Take care.
Thanks Irene, I’m looking forward to bouncing back, have a great sewing week, Deb 🪡🧵💕
Hope you feel better soon. Well done for getting your vlog up. You looked like you were in pain
Thanks Rose, I’m only in pain when I move 🤣. Have a great sewing week, Deb 🪡🧵💕
You poor lady. 😢 I have never had shingles but I believe that the pain is terrible. I do hope that you can make a very speedy recovery ❤️🩹.
Thanks Looloo, I hope it starts to get better soon too. Have a great sewing week, Deb 🪡🧵💕
@@dbdesignsandsewingaustrali5668 PS I know that you love the hot weather but you must stay out of the sun as it will aggravate the shingles rash…please stay in the shade!
I have just got over it too! Took the antiviral and it seems to have helped. Hope you are ok.
@@vickichisholm931 Thnaks Vicki, I hope you are doing ok too, it takes a while to recover but all good now, thanks Deb 🪡🧵💕
All the best for a speedy recovery.
Love the bathers.
Thanks Jane, have a great sewing week, Deb 🪡🧵💕
Oh Deb, what a grap thing to get at the start of your new stage of your life 😮😢. I have just caught up with your vlog, I could see in some of your movements it's causing pain. Your makes are good, great idea with the detachable scarf shall I age myself by saying : good thinking 99 : take care of yourself and rest, so feet up and a good book or fellow vlogers. Oh I am enjoying my new machine regards Diana from NZ 🎉❤
Hi Diana, so glad you are enjoying your new machine, I have a few fabrics I will show on the Babylock and do a rolled hem which I use quite often. Hopefully I will be back on my feet in no time, have a great sewing and overlocking week, Deb 🪡🧵💕
Oh, I’m praying for a speedy and uneventful recovery for you! ❤
Thanks Amie, have a great sewing week, Deb 🪡🧵💕
Oh Deb, you poor thing with the shingles. You look in pain and in your eye too. Must be very very painful glad you got to the anti viral meds quick enough. My Mum is just recovering from the shingles, has it on the neck and throat. She didnt get to the anto virals quick enough, it has been very incomfortabl3 for her. You're marvellous to still do a vlog, loved seeing all your makes. The bathers look great. Well done . Feel better soon ❤
Thanks Deb, not a pleasant thing to have, weirdly my eye is not too sore, just looks dreadful, the throat and neck that would have been terrible, I feel like I’ve been stabbed so she must have felt like she was strangled, hope she is doing ok now. Have a great sewing week, Deb 🪡🧵💕
For someone not wearing makeup and having shingles you look beautiful!!
I love the Celeste blouse - it would be an easy make for you
Please stay safe and get better ❤️🩹
💖🦩💕🦩💖
Thanks Stacey, luckily I had taken the photos in the bathers before I had shingles, have a great sewing week, Deb 🪡🧵💕
@@dbdesignsandsewingaustrali5668 get well gorgeous
Hope you feel better soon…..
Thanks Ria, have a great sewing week, Deb 🪡🧵💕
Hi again, just wanted to add a note of encouragement - when i had it the pain wasn't too bad, it didn't last long and there were no long-term symptoms. Hope that helps a little. Jen
Thanks Jen, I’m sure I will survive, if I can’t leave the house I’ll have to sew 🤣🤣
Oh Deb, I’m so sorry to hear about your shingles. I hope you recover soon - that Celeste shirt won’t sew itself. And we need you for inspiration. A
Thanks Anne, once I’m feeling better I will still have to stay away from people so I guess I will have to sew 🤣. Have a great sewing week, Deb 🪡🧵💕
Thanks for the coffee Anne, much appreciated 💕
Think of it as chicken soup…..@@dbdesignsandsewingaustrali5668
I hope you are feeling better soon Deb. I hope the anti viral medication begins to work soon. I have been planning to make an appointment for a vaccination so you have prompted me to do that. Take care xx
Thanks for your best wishes Jacqueline, best get that vaccination going, I wish I had , have a great sewing week, Deb 🪡🧵💕
Oh Deb, so sorry to hear you have Shingles and sounds like a horrible dose too. I believe it is incredibly painful. I just hope that between the pain killers and the antivirals you can recover quickly the pain subsides just as fast. Hopefully you will feel up to sewing very soon. You have certainly been busy. Your bathers look fabulous and I’m sure you can get the fit right as you’re so competent. Your art-deco dress looks great and love the way you styled it. Don’t think I will bother with fisherman’s knit after the problems you encountered - it does look good though. Anyway, take care and get well. Look forward to your vlogs 🥰
Thanks Julie, the fisherman knit I would only sew again if it had bands on every edge, but I think the pattern is wonderful, I can see a few more of these this Winter. I’m fairly happy with the bathers for a first go, but when I think about it, if I was purchasing them I would be happy that they fitted. Have a great sewing week, Deb 🪡🧵💕
Love your art deco dress with draped scarf. Very Miss Fisher! Why not the $14K brooch?
Thanks Sue, did you say you were buying me the $14K brooch? 🤣🤣
Hi Deb, hugs for the shingles. Nerve pain is crippling. I used naturopathic shingles ointment also and just wore a sarong. Rest heaps
Thanks Denise, yes clothing is an issue, I can’t see myself wearing a bra for a while to using deodorant. Have a great sewing week, Deb 🪡🧵💕
So very, very sorry about the shingles and hope you recover very quickly. I think your swimsuit is lovely and so professional. Would love to see the Sew House Seven top extended to dress length. Love that v neck style and pleased to hear the instructions are good. The styling of your Art Deco fabric is so original and imaginative- and what a great excuse for new shoes 😂😂. I have that Simplicity pattern so keen to see what it looks like made up. Such useful tips on needle choice for tencel. Hope you feel well enough to keep sewing this week but recovery is more important so rest up and get well soon. 😊 Lynne
Thanks Lynne, the Sew House Seven top would be a lovely dress, there are lovely winter knits coming through now. I think navy is the only colour shoes I don’t have, I will have to buy some 🤣🤣. Have a great sewing week, Deb 🪡🧵💕
Hope you recover quickly..........Helen
Thanks Helen, I’m hoping so too, have a great sewing week, Deb 🪡🧵💕
I'm so sorry you are sick. I haven't had shingles but I be,I've they are a B!$(#. Get better soon 🌻
Thanks Catherine, I have catching up on all my CZcams watching, have a great sewing week, Deb 🪡🧵💕
Hi Deb sorry to hear about your shingles. I just had the two shingrix vaccinations and strongly hope that will protect me. As Dr was giving me the shots he said a patient had contacted shingles even after vaccinations. 😱 Very brave of you to model your bathers. They do look great on you. Love the dress also. Hope you recover soon ❤️💐
Thanks Barbara, it is one of the best vaccines you can get for protection, hopefully you are safe, have a great sewing week, Deb 🪡🧵💕
Oh Deb, I feel for you. I've had it (twice!) and have just recently (when it became free) gotten the vacc. Hopefully the pain you're currently experiencing will be minimal and that you are back on your feet very soon.
Hi Jay Dee, twice, I wouldn’t wish this on anyone, unfortunately I’m not eligible for the free vaccination yet, I think they need to lower the age requirement. Have a great sewing week, Deb 🪡🧵💕
Unasked for advice: please see an ophthalmologist since your eye is involved. Been there, done that. First time viewer and I’ll be back.
Thanks, I have an appointment on Wednesday 👍
I am terrified of having shingles. I went a got my shingles vaccines this year. Even though i had to pay for them. I know having the vaccines may not stop me getting shingles but they might reduce the symptoms if i do get shingles. I feel a lot of empathy for you.
Thanks Kylie, I should have paid as it’s not until I’m 65 it’s free, the doctor said it’s 97% effective so that is pretty good for a vaccine. It is very painful 😣. Have a great sewing week, Deb 🪡🧵💕
whaatt i can still get shingles?
hope you feel better soon
Hi Kylie the shingles vaccination is one of the most effective vaccines out there, my doctor thinks it should be for anyone over 50
@@dbdesignsandsewingaustrali5668 I agree. I am turning 55 this year so I had to pay for both doses. Which gives me up to 10 years protection. As for ratio of protection it's 90% effective but less so for those who are immunocompromised ie HIV, cancer etc. But given that shingles symptoms, pain etc so ghastly and you generally don't heal to level of health you were before the shingles attack I highly recommend. I know pharmacists in Australia are fighting the 65 year old be reduced to 50 year olds because it would save lots of money in the economy, health system which is already buckling etc.
Oh no you poor thing I had the vaccine 5 years ago must check if I need an update hope you recover soon ,at least you still have your good sense of humour Deb 😂😘
Thanks Dawn, I’m not sure if you need to get booster shots, I think they need to lower the age eligibility. Have a great sewing week, Deb 🪡🧵💕
You poor dear; I have seen a few friends going through the pain, etc. One was especially bad because it was around an eye and also around his chest. When our kids turned 50 we nagged them so much that they went in for the vac. My husband and I got the vac. quite a few years ago and then the booster about 4 years ago. Hope you encourage all your friends to get the vac. too.. Would be great if we had medical insurance to cover all disease. Speaking of vaccines, just got another Covid booster. Are the doctors encouraging people to continue with their Covid vaccines in Australia? Cheers. Joan
Thanks Joan, yes my doctor always let me know when I’m due for a new Covid vaccination we have them when they are due, even if you get Covid it lessens the impact. I think they need to lower the age eligibility for the shingles vaccination, as many in their 50s get it. Have a great sewing week, Deb 🪡🧵💕
Oh Deb poor girl , I have had Shingles , ages ago but still remember the sore spots. Get the vax so it doesn't return xxx😢
Hi Helen, the doctor said once this has passed I will be good for 12 months, I will only be 64 by then so still not eligible, but I will pay the $600 and get the vaccination as I wouldn’t want to do this again. Have a great sewing week, Deb 🪡🧵💕
