Hello sewing enthusiasts! My name is Kristen and my RU-vid channel is "The Dahlia Sewciety". I live in Melbourne Australia and sewing my own wardrobe is my passion! I cant wait to inspire you and get you excited about creating and sewing your own clothing with your own style! My aim is to bring you a weekly episode and another weekly chat about what is exciting me in the DIY fashion world. I hope you enjoy watching and I welcome comments, suggestions and great patterns! Hints, tips and community are what I'm all about because the sewing community is stitched together with so much love!
Thank you Kristen, I got such a surprise hearing my name being called out. I am very happy with my prize. You have so much lovely fabric. Thank you Karen
Wow Kristen what a collection that's is the most stunning one I've seen yet ,just gorgeous also love the wool just want me to take up knitting or crocheting ❤❤
Omg Kristen. You have the best job. I would be permanently broke😅. I love how you suggest patterns for the fabrics. I wish everyone would do that. I love these new fabrics. I was so pleased to see your video this chilly morning, to enjoy with a coffee. A great way to start a lazy school holidays morning. Love your shirt too😊. Have a lovely week.❤❤
Kristen you always have patterns I have never seen before. I love these episodes. My puppy Harlow had fun barking at Meg 😂. I had to put him out so I could hear you. I do love seeing other people's pets. I'm looking forward to seeing your birthday dress. I should do that this year. It just always feels like there not enough sewing time. I hope you have a great week. ❤ ❤
I don't know if this counts as a 'sweater' but I love the Itch to Stitch Foz top. I have made it in thinner cotton jersey but have also made it in French terry and it works really well in both. In fact I also made one in a cream cable knit like the top you are wearing. It is just the loveliest pattern.
Hi Kristen, Loved this latest chat about Sweater patterns. My most recent one was Sew house 7 toaster Sweater. I really loved the high neck and high waist. It fitted me so well too. I like wearing wide leg pants so shorter Jumpers are better to balance. I plan to make more from the lovely Knits I have stashed from your store!
Great vlog Kristen there are so many sweater patterns out there it’s great to be reminded of what there is. The Sewing Revival have a couple of goodies The Akaroa sweater and the Southland. The Southland is a more relaxed fit. Love the sound of the kookaburra ❤
I did the pattern test for the Itch to Stitch Boalsburg sweater and ended up making 3! I love Kennis’s designs because they’re more fitted and I find that suits me better. It’s great for colour blocking.
Great vlog as always Kristen. I also love the Esme Top by Style Arc it’s very elegant with clean lines and super flattering on the body. FYI I’ve found that Style Arc have many online tutorials that support their pattern instructions which is very handy for beginner sewists. At the top of their web page it is under tutorials.❤
Hi Kristenknow just love all sweaters there so versatile I've just finished a beautiful sweater from 5 out of 4 patterns the Edith top with the long cuff and I put 6 small buttons up along the cuff which made it very glamorous. .lol ,I'm now started to make another pattern from 5 out 4 patterns called the Maggie cardy so I'll be completing that this weekend . Thankyou for sharing all your makes you helped me get my mo jo back ......lol by for now happy sewing ... oh by the way I finished and wore the Elliot sweater to work and got lots of compliments ❤😊
I have a serger but in all honestly, I still make most of my knits on the regular machine. I feel like it takes way too much planning to use my serger. It's such a pain to change threads and then clean out the fluff after -I use my regular machine unless I am batch sewing. My TNT patterns are 2 free ones and an OOP Simplicity: Mood Sewciety Felicia and Jalie Emilie (mine says yoko because I started making it before it was renamed). I am looking for a raglan style-the Orono you are wearing looks very good...and I have a similar knit in my stash....hmmm
Does a Cardi count? The one I’m most keen to make is the Reconnect from Pattern Emporium. Thank you for your suggestions, I’ve added quite a few to my wish list😊
I really love the videos you make when you share your fave patterns! I have all your old ones saved. I love the PE Unwind, plus the Linden Sweatshirt, I have some of the other patterns you mention, I must make some. P.S. I really like the longer hair on you😊
Nooooo I missed out again on the Snow queen fabric. Will you be getting more Poppy French Terry? I really like that this design is not floral, not animal etc.
