4 NEW to me PATTERNS - including a FREE one! 

I love helpersew company. Great and modern patters w/ very good instructions

Fabulous Cara as always! Definitely going to make a grenadine!!! Thanks so much for showing your gorgoeus makes

Fabulous makes as usual. As for the swim style top - Ripper Seams had the same problem with the neck line so maybe a pattern not fabric problems. I love the Russian pattern companies. They have some beautiful designs- I’m in the middle of making the Lisa blouse from Viki Sews. Love the fit and the instructions are detailed.

Lovely collection 😍. I too was inspired by Sarah 😊 on the Swim Style Andi top and skirt which I’ve printed the pattern for but I’m yet to make, so it’s great to see that you like it too. Love the seagull sounds. I keep wondering if it’s on your video or here at home 🤣

Really enjoying your videos. I'm in New Zealand and sewing a new look pattern at the moment., After watching your first part I also signed onto the Joli lab subscription and brought 6 patterns as well. So my next project is the Nymphea dress, I was looking for the perfect pattern for my fabric and that's it. Thanks for the really great info

I can't wait to see the new collection from Maison Fauve this fall! I'm needing a dress to wear to a winter wedding and I need some inspiration, so hopefully that release will do the trick! Thanks for your video. As always I leave feeling inspired and hopeful!

Amazing collection of new patterns Cara, not sure which one is my favourite they’re all beautiful. 🧶🌈🍓💙

Side-by-side fashion show is tech cleverness indeed. Red dress fabric is YOUR color! Slinky Lexi black looks great on your curvy frame! Congrats!

The black jersey dress looks a lot like the Pattern Emporium Tank Dress pattern, I love that wide binding! It looks great on you 🙌

Hi Cara I love your little black, dress looks so slimming on you. Good o you for having a go at some new pattern companies. I take my hat off to you, you aren't shy to try foreign patterns. I am a bit cautious to try them because of the non English.. not sure I will be able to understand the instructions. The outfits look lovely and perfect for summer. Well done you ❤

Love your red dress so suits you beautiful colour red❤ x

Cara, I so look forward to your Sunday videos so I can 'chat' with you. I hope all is well in your world with everyone healthy and home again. The first adorable dress you made by the Russian pattern company reminds me so much of the new Notches Kaiko Top & Dress that was featured on this morning's The Fold Line. It looks lovely and breezy on you. The Lexi dress isn't one I've come across before but it is such a flattering dress. Maybe you can make another one out of a viscose jersey for your trip. Very breathable. I just love viscose jersey. On Friday I cut out my first Saguaro Set pattern and can't wait to have some flowy pants myself. Your Grenadine skirt looks great! I also made my first one as a wearable toile in a deep purple jacquard. Hmm then I think I went a little crazy designing the next 2. First a denim with cherries on it - and wait for it - instead of piping I put in a zipper! The 3rd one is out of a peach gaberdine stretch suiting and on the bottom panel I added a fun faux leather panel with little shapes hanging off of it. That was a challenge and the panel is quit delicate. But it was also peach colored so I just went for it. I didn't include the lining in any of mine either. Lol, who has time for linings in skirts I will wear in the summer! I also made another Salto shirt in red viscose linen to go with the cherry skirt. And I've moved on the my first Cicadella blouse for my purple skirt. I'll never catch up to your sewing stardom standards, but I am loving all of these new outfits. Thanks Cara for always providing so much inspiration and fun.

Waww, your Grenadine skirt is amazing ! 😍

That red dress is a great colour on you and a nice style,bra straps don’t really notice and who cares as long as you’re comfortable! I quite often use bikini tops under my strappy dresses as the straps are more interesting! Black dress is great on you too. I’ve seen others having problems with the fall of the Swim Style top with the neck band worn, I think you need to really push the top of the v neck down when you have it on but I suppose it will work its way up again unless it’s stitched and if you do that it looses the versatility 😂

Ooh Cara, love love the Andi in that fabric, it looks gorgeous on you! Thanks for the shoutout ❤️ I’m pretty sure I lengthened mine too. Also love the idea of the Jolie Lab, that’s new to me thank you. Your Lexi suits you so much, looks 🔥

Wow, wow, wow, that is a vlog of inspiration to those of us watching you that think “I can’t wear that because …”. I now have some sewing to do! Time to let some of those silly hangups go and get comfortable in the summer heat. I loved all of your makes and you looked amazing in all of them. Thank you! I’m going to try them all!

The red Adelina dress worked out very nice, no problem at all having the buttom and top piece of the bodice swapped! 😂 Love your videos, like your style!❤

Hello, from Norway. Love the black dress. ❤

The burgundy/red colour looks lovely on you! I look forward to each of your videos! 💕

Cara, thank you very much for the new pattern companies. ❤❤❤ You always make such beautiful garments! 🧵🪡💕

All the makes are lovely! @RipperSeams made the set with the Anti top for her contribution to the Busy Bee Challenge 2024! She also had a problem with the neckline when the neck tie was drawn up. I wonder if the fabric needs to be really soft so that the neckline falls better?

I do enjoy watching your videos Cara. You’re such a natural, friendly lady. And wow can you sew. Look forward to the next one x

Brava! What lovely new outfits! Thank you for sharing.

Wow, you have been busy Cara, lots of lovely makes, love them all. Glad to hear you are finally getting some good weather over there in the UK. Here in sunny Queensland, Australia we are coming to the end of winter, but nothing like the UK winters 😊. Look forward to seeing your next makes.

You have been so busy sewing, so many dresses. I have used Lakala site, very similar where you put in your measurements & the pattern is made to your shape which is in English.The red dress is similar to the Tilly’s Sky pattern which I’ve made but altered the tie straps to fixed ones. With all your makes, how many wardrobes do you have?😂🤣😂❤️

What lovely summer makes - I love the detail you go into and the fact that you will try things that are different for you. Looking forward to watching more of your vlogs! 😊

Hi. I loved everything you made especially the red sun dress. I also like the colour of your bra that you are wearing with the dress. Where did you get it from? Keep making these great videos😘

I’m in Colorado. As usual, you make the best patterns. I like the first 2 dresses, but the black one looks great on you.

The black dress looks amazing on you ❤

Ripper seams also had the same issue with that neck tie. So I think it is a pattern issue. It amazes me how prolific you are. I have so many ideas floating around in my head, I think I need to write them down and tick them off as I do them.

Beautiful dresses! I’m planning to take a look at both pattern companies. I made the Andi top and love the style too. I think the match up with trousers is a great idea. Took me a few tries to get the facings sewn together correctly so I could match them up to the exterior! My fabric was a linen type remnant so easy to top stitch the neck and shoulders so the facings didn’t peek out. Thank you for a content filled video! Commenting from US/Florida.

Absolutely love love your videos enjoyed every one of them,would wear everything that you have sewn,an idea for you,the black skirt front could be made up in two different colours of the same type of material.Looking forward to your next video.

Love the red sun dress!

Love your black dress from Jolie lab❤

You look amazing in all of your “new to you pattern companies” makes! The red cotton fabric from India is gorgeous. Itch to Stitch just released a new free pattern called the Deba Topper. It might work for you as a little coverup with the dresses. It may be the fabric, but I wonder if you could size down the Saguaro trousers? Tropical storm Debby is heading up the west coast of Florida, so I’ll just have to stay inside and sew. Happy sewing, Cara.

Love this vlog Cara so inspirational ❤ Any chance you could show us around your garden room....we are hoping to get one later in the year and yours looks amazing x

Lovely makes😊

I think rachel said the same about the swim style neckline and it disappears when you pull the draw string more apparently. Looks great though ❤

Could you lengthen the skirt pattern? I have just cut out a Jarrah for my daughter for Christmas, I know thinking of Christmas already! Love your vlog as always. x

Good sundress!

🤣🤣🤣do you know your facing is poking out?🤔 Hahaha love that! When I'm sewing it seems like such a big deal faux pas if my facing is showing but seriously WHY? 🤩

Whit whoo in your sexy black dress ❤ you look amazing Cara. Really like the Lexi. Your Conor’s set is so different and stylish. Lovely video ❤❤❤

Like you in longer lengths ❤

Andy is too fussy for me but beautiful fabric 😊
