Option 5, the viscose twill will give the shirt dress that little bit of stability and the darker color will be great as an all seasons dress. Happy sewing. I can’t wait to see your final result

@jennyturner6399 4 месяца назад

Lots of fun fabric and stylish dresses. 💙🧶🌈🍓

@india1422 4 месяца назад

I try not to be bound by what i "should" wear. I don't go by"my" colours, if something doesn't fit with the current season, i just go for it.

@SistasofStitchcraft 4 месяца назад

5 - awww that looks cute! Love a bit of lure! That will look pretty 💚💛

@laulutar 4 месяца назад

The blue on navy astronomy print for the Style Arc pattern! But the viscose satin is also stunning!

@Ginevra345 4 месяца назад

Exciting plans Ruan! I vote pale blue chambray for the shirt dress 🙌

@rosierycroft67 4 месяца назад

Number 3 gets my vote as its lovely and summery!

@india1422 4 месяца назад

We've been to the Chelsea Flower Show twice and really enjoyed it.

@SistasofStitchcraft 4 месяца назад

4 - I think a pair of pumps and denim jacket would be great with it in the summer.

@annbutler7461 4 месяца назад

Love all the dresses that you are hoping to make! Never made the Lotta, hopefully yours will make up my mind. I like option 4 or 5 for the Style Arc dress. A great selection!

@kimberlyross7717 4 месяца назад

I think the option 1 would be great!

@ByAlissa11 4 месяца назад

Style arc patterns are my favorites! The instructions aren’t detailed but they give you all the information you need. I love my Palmer dress I need to wear it (I made it for summer during the winter)

@whatbecsews 4 месяца назад

Lol I literally looked at the blue viscose and thought I need that in my life! 😂 Need the red in my life too! Need the animal print leaves and the black with the white and pink… probably just your whole stash 😂

@theyorkshiresewgirl 4 месяца назад

Ha ha. We’re defo fabric twins!

@jenniferewart 4 месяца назад

Great selection of fabrics, option 3 would be my choice for the Style Arc dress.

@karlawallace1633 4 месяца назад

My vote plain blue. You said it resembles denim and I think that would be very cute

@ruthlanwarne8978 4 месяца назад

I think no 3 or 5 for the style arc dress . I like the autumnal fabric for the Reeta shirt dress as sometimes they are a good option with English summer weather. I like the autumnal fabric for the Reeta as some days in English summers they are better suited.

@Julie_sews_her_own_clothes 4 месяца назад

Can you go back to work so we can have the sunshine back please Ruan ! 🤣🤣🤣 The Quincy dress looks gorgeous! Hmm I might like that for my holiday plans now 😇 looking forward to seeing what fabric is chosen for y style arc collab with the super gorgeous talented StaceyJ ❤️ I went on a school trip to Chelsea flower show (obviously eons ago) I grumped about and moaned about it for days, sulked for the whole 6 hour coach journey then absolutely loved when we got there - fell in love with plants, gardens and all things horticultural 🤷‍♀️ 😢

@erylmaunder4085 4 месяца назад

Love the Quincy dress xx love how honest you are about dress sizes. Love the fabrics

@AvrilBavril 4 месяца назад

Brilliant idea about the collar. I have a fabric that I have avoided using because of the scratchy bits. This opens up lots of options ❤

@theyorkshiresewgirl 4 месяца назад

It’s a great tip isn’t it!

@thebrumstitcher495 4 месяца назад

I’ve watched this twice, as two of the patterns you’ve mentioned I couldn’t stop thinking about, so I had to find what they were. 😆 I’ve come to a bit of a stop with my sewing this month because I made two skirts which highlight my mum tum, and thickness in the middle😕. I need something to get my sewjo back, hopefully a lovely new dress will do the trick 🤞🏼

@theyorkshiresewgirl 3 месяца назад

Hope you smashed out an amazing garment that you’re happy with honey 😊

@TheFrenchSeams_vlog 4 месяца назад

All your fabric is just delicious 😍😍😍😍 What fab pattern suggestions! I’ve not heard of that Jennifer Lauren one… *runs off to check it out! Happy sewing

@theyorkshiresewgirl 3 месяца назад

😂😂

@Kate-wf6hh 4 месяца назад

I love that viscose satin but I think that would be better made up in something simple like the Lotta dress. Great selection of dresses though and I will look forward to seeing what you make.

@nicky-Sewandsnip 4 месяца назад

Love all those plans😍

@sharonstephen4496 4 месяца назад

Option #3. When you held it up to your face I thought it complimented your skin and hair. And I think the fabric will give you a sophisticated high end look.

@clairec20 4 месяца назад

Option no 1 definitely ❤️

@angelasherwood5599 4 месяца назад

I like option one the big monstera leaves in animal prints, I think it screams shirt dress and would look wonderful on you.

@yvonneimms9762 4 месяца назад

WOW 6 dresses, lots of sewing and they will all look fab I’m sure. I like the fabric for number 4 and think you should go for it. I’m off to find your community tab now to vote for the last dress. Good luck, and look forward to seeing how you get on ❤

@SueTownson 4 месяца назад

I like all but I really think you should do the most stable fabric. The thing with viscose is it can be slippy and that is more a challenge than the pattern. Factor in collar buttonholes etc My personal favourites are 1 and 3 but I would make your first make of the pattern in option 2 as it's cotton. I love Style Arc - almost everything I make is by them. I think they unnecessarily get a bad press over instructions. They have listened to feedback and now have both printed new instructions to patterns [available free to anyone who has previously bought the pattern] and put tutorials on their website. Can't wait to see what you make.😎❤

@fayeryan3699 4 месяца назад

lovely fabric options for the final dress, you may want to think about the printed options and pattern matching with the lines and multiple small pieces of the style arc dress. BTW given the level of sewing you do Style Arc will be a breeze.

@ruthiefranciskirk1449 4 месяца назад

Love everything.....good taste..

@juliearmstrong9126 4 месяца назад

Hi, love all your plans. I’m going to order the honeycomb pattern as you’ve sold it so well! I think option 1 or 5 for the palmer pattern. Styarc patterns are a bit lacking in instruction but with your experience you’ll be fine and they are great designs that are a true to size fit ( in my experience). Good luck and look forward to seeing you wearing them all

@theyorkshiresewgirl 4 месяца назад

Thank you! The honeycomb is a lovely pattern isn’t it!

@micheleparker8653 4 месяца назад

First one - leaf print

@careycraig3596 4 месяца назад

The blue on blue would be.great for the last dress

@jennetthamilton971 4 месяца назад

I love the white and pink on the black background. The tiger print dress is gorgeous. I have a dress pattern similar to #3 dress. Last summer I found two matching Mary Quant beach wraps at a vintage show that I'm hoping will work with the pattern. I love shirt dresses even though I've never had one. Way back in the 60's my best friends older sisters wore them and we both wanted one. Maybe they didn't make them for little girls. We also thought we would learn how to wear makeup, and be super cool like her one sister. That never happened either. Well at least it's not too late for a shirt dress!

@theyorkshiresewgirl 2 месяца назад

Go for it on the shirt dress!

@gemmanonymous5739 4 месяца назад

I think the tiger print would be perfect for summer with gold (or turquoise! Or red!) accessories. Remaking previously used patterns is such a good idea- no puzzling over them trying to work out what the designer meant!

@vanessajackson5595 4 месяца назад

I think option one for your Style Arc Palmer dress, the tiger print would make a stunning summer dress and I see your option 4 as a beautiful Vienne Dress?

@SistasofStitchcraft 4 месяца назад

4 - love the pockets. Definitely not for beginners. Love the fabric, it will look stunning on you 😍

@SewMyTime 4 месяца назад

I have made a lot of Style Arc patterns and instructions on the older ones were sparse but are now so much better. You will not have any problems. Good on Stacey for forcing your hand!!! 😂😂. I vote option 4 . Good Luck. I look forward to seeing all your makes. 😊 Happy Sewing. Lynne

@Shylala3 4 месяца назад

Number 3 would look beaut in that dress pattern

@patriciabennett961 4 месяца назад

Beautiful dress patterns and fabrics Ruann! I laughed so hard when you were showing the Jennifer Lauren Handmade Quincy dress and you asked "where's her knees? She has no knees!"😂😅

@karolmolpus9536 4 месяца назад

Love Style Arc soooooo much!!!

@sheenabatey3346 4 месяца назад

Blue astronomical print for me

@sueb4919 4 месяца назад

Gorgeous choices-except can’t imagine you EVER in the plain chambray 😂. I shall vote now!!

@theyorkshiresewgirl 4 месяца назад

😂😂

@karolmolpus9536 4 месяца назад

Simple fabric if you’ve never done Style Arc patterns before! Then do print next time!

@Whateverkatiesews 4 месяца назад

Can't wait to see these all made up!! Xxx

@theyorkshiresewgirl 4 месяца назад

Thanks lovely 🥰

@karolmolpus9536 4 месяца назад

Chambray for Style Arc!!!

@juliedickens2787 2 месяца назад

You obviously don’t fear button holes like many of us!

@theyorkshiresewgirl 2 месяца назад

He he. I actually really like them 🙈

@JaneyJane_sews 4 месяца назад

Do you have trouble with buttonholes on viscose/rayons? Option one, the green fabric for the Style Arc dress.

@theyorkshiresewgirl 4 месяца назад

It usually. I always apply some interfacing inside the button placket and that tends to help 😊

@dillismoore432 4 месяца назад

For the shirtdress, the chambray or the smallest of the prints would look best.

@christinawelton9689 4 месяца назад

I vote option 5

@SistasofStitchcraft 4 месяца назад

2 - buttons 😮😮 more difficult make

@amdelorey 4 месяца назад

All your dress plans are fabulous. I will vote for fabric #1. That one should not be languishing in your stash!

@carolhughes312 4 месяца назад

@lindat905 4 месяца назад

Can you give some recommendations of where to stay in London it's hard to figure out when your in Canada

@theyorkshiresewgirl 4 месяца назад

Ooh sorry I’m not very well travelled in regard to London as I live in the North of England! We did stay in Covent Garden which is lovely and has good tube stations close by 😃

@nataliestanchevski4628 4 месяца назад

I'll vote properly later but I think you should use the astrology print for the style arc dress. It's pretty but it's not as gorgeous imo as some of the others so if you make a boo boo it's not as big a loss. I'm just naturally pessimistic, don't mind me.🙄

@dillismoore432 4 месяца назад

Absolutely love the print of the viscose jersey t-shirt! Dresses are so comfortable and versatile. You have the most gorgeous fabrics and patterns!! You wear them all so well!

@Jenns_creative_spot 4 месяца назад

Lovely plans Ruan! For the last dress, I vote for fabric #2 or #4. The first fabric is my favorite (leaves with animal print), but I think that it would look so nice as the Rita dress with the floaty skirt to show off the fabric. 💖

@lovesredsews 4 месяца назад

The Vienne dress is going to look gorgeous in the red fabric! I don’t think the zebra fabric is too autumnal, it’s going to look lovely. I vote for the Monstera fabric, I love that print 🤩

@alwaysinthecraftroom 4 месяца назад

I’ll go and vote now (monstera ❤ ftw), but just speaking from personal experience when I’ve made a shirt dress in chambray it felt like a nurses uniform 😮 😂 I cut it down to a shirt, so at least I saved it, but maybe I can save you from a similar fate 😅

@mk5076 4 месяца назад

The red Vienne dress will look fab. Red does suit you!! Greetings from Vienna! ❤

@theyorkshiresewgirl 4 месяца назад

Thank you ☺️

@amywyatt6367 4 месяца назад

The brown tiger print is definitely a neutral, would look great year round xx

@amywyatt6367 4 месяца назад

Wow! I love all of your choices but especially love the fabric with Monstera leaves on black with animal print!!

@angelawilliams8322 4 месяца назад

The UK is gonna get warmer as of May 30th because I’m coming home from Costa Rica 🎉and I’m bringing a suitcase full of sunshine 😊 Happy Days!

@deannasanft3683 4 месяца назад

OPTION # 1, BEAUTIFUL

@Lorij83 4 месяца назад

I like the green with leaves best but I’m voting for the blue. You are going to be busy!

@musikkfamilien 2 месяца назад

You are so inspiring! It’s just like sitting down with a good friend and chatting about sewing. Except it is only you chatting 😅😂🤣🤣🤣 “anyhow” you are lifting up so many with your smiling face and girly, down-to-earth way of being. Just lovely. The last dress: fabric 4 or 5. Happy sewing. Hugs from Norway 🇳🇴😊

@joannpyne1480 4 месяца назад

Definitely #4. I love that fabric and it would look amazing on you. I am a much less experienced sewer than you and I have made a lot of style arc patterns. The instructions are fine.

@SistasofStitchcraft 4 месяца назад

3 - ooo the vienne looks pretty. Ooo pretty fabric. That will look fab ❤️❤️

@marionskinner 4 месяца назад

Ruan, Love watching you. Glad you are on holiday. Here is my 2 cents. Yes, to the brown animal print, it is so you and can be used year-round -- so to me it is definite. Regarding the Style Arc Palmer... I have made one Style Arc -- Bennett pants and I am 5'2". I had to make major adjustments for fit -- I am talking inches and inches .... and I made a muslin to be sure I understood their limited instructions -- and even doing the muslin - (it was weeks before I made the final garment) it was like starting again and not telling you the words I used for days!!! ... DESPITE all this -- they are the most comfortable PANTS!!! And the look great (at least to me). So you can see I have mixed emotions about Style Arc -- but I would say give it a whirl. I loved your #1 fabric viscose green leaf with animal prints -- so you and the dress will show off the fabric. After I see you, I may give the Palmer a try.

@sewonsister 4 месяца назад

I like option 1 and 2 for that dress. That green fabric is beautiful! I still don't consider myself to be a very experienced sewist, but I have sewn a couple of Style Arc Patterns. I would suggest reading through the pattern ahead of time. I write down where/when I need to finish the seams because the pattern doesn't do that. I think the patterns might use the term "stay stitch" instead of "basting", which can be a little confusing if you're totally new, but you aren't. Maybe the terminology is a little different in Australia? Anyway, the drafting is excellent. They have so many choices. The styles are super cute. You've got this!

@erylmaunder4085 4 месяца назад

Re the fabric for your 6th dress I love the first fabric loads with a pink belt? Also like the second fabric which suits the pattern. Not so keen on 3rd fabric. Really like 4th fabric. Less keen on 5th fabric. If it were me I would choose 1st or 4th fabric xxx

@helenwood6166 4 месяца назад

Hi Ruan, as you are such an experienced sewist you won’t have any problem with style arc. I’ve made several and although the instructions are hopeless you can work things and sometimes even do your own thing. Any of your fabrics would be great but maybe use a fabric as a practice so you don’t lose a fabric you really love. Good luck,you can make a Style Arc dress

@sherioreilly7546 4 месяца назад

Definitely the green animal print!

@SistasofStitchcraft 4 месяца назад

2 - oh yes the fabric would look fab with a pair of tights come autumn 😂

@janetyler1642 4 месяца назад

A fun vlog Ruan and very inspiring with all your dress making plans😃 i’m excited to hear that the Quincy dress and the Rita shirt dress are included. I have had the Rita shirt dress pattern for a while,and have considered the Quincy several times! Love all the fabric choices.

@jennistevenson796 4 месяца назад

You’re going to make SIX dresses !!! ( the green fabric) xxx

@theyorkshiresewgirl 4 месяца назад

I certainly am! 😂

@anndowner8277 3 месяца назад

So pleased you've given a shout out for the Cocowawa Honeycomb Dress - it's got lovely side panel styling. I've made two and there's a third cut out ready to sew. I add a ruffle to lengthen the dress as I don't want anyone to see my ultra white legs!😂

@leepayk-bann3489 4 месяца назад

I like the tiger print in Australian that is a summer look. I do not know about the community page, but my favourite fabrics are 1 and 3 and the last one. I really like 1 and 3, the last fabric with the blue might be the best for the challenge dress as I think it is better to save favourite fabrics for patterns you are more confident with.

@sharonrush731 4 месяца назад

I think you’ve got to make 5 shirt dresses ,all the fabrics are beautiful but did love 4 and 5 , then 1 was lovely as well , definitely need to make the chambray up and choose a pattern fabric and do 2 dresses

@debbiecarter6430 4 месяца назад

Exciting plans Ruan, lots to look forward to. That viscose satin is stunning (but I didn’t vote for it). Enjoy your weekend. xx

@maryg7599 4 месяца назад

Voting for option 1 (the green leafy print) for your Style Arc dress - - because your face just lit up when you described it and talked about it 🙂.

@j-asewistdownunder9132 4 месяца назад

i love all your pattern and fabric choices for work dresses, and if you look at them all they are so different to each other so lots of options. Love the reta shirt dress, i have two and find i wear it in autumn as its quite warm with the amount of fabric it takes. As for your collab dress obv fabric 1 with the big leaves and you know it 😉 however if your a bit unsure having not make it before then use one of the others that arn't quite as precious!

@vernakg 4 месяца назад

Option 2 light blue. I was thinking that even before you showed the fabrics. A statement piece of jewelry and narrow light brown belt

@shif7905 4 месяца назад

Such great dress ideas and beautiful fabrics. I vote for the Chambray, since all the other dresses you are going to make in printed fabric, will nice to have a plain solid dress 😅

@HeatherBulcock 4 месяца назад

Might be the camera lights but the pale looking fabric didn’t pick up well for you but 3 and 5 really shone for you

@christinedoede4929 4 месяца назад

Hi Ruan. Loving your channel from Wausau Wisconsin USA. I vote for Fabric 5.

@valeriemunoz4462 4 месяца назад

Hello Ruan, My name is Valerie and I live in Las Vegas, NV, USA. Your channel is such a joy! I love your fabrics and the clothing that you make, which provides inspiration in my sewing. My vote for the Style Arc dress is the dark blue fabric with the light blue "zodiac" symbols. Happy sewing!

@theyorkshiresewgirl 4 месяца назад

@india1422 4 месяца назад

I like Style Arc patterns but it's ridiculous that they don't have appropriate instructions. I don't pay for a pattern to work out how to put it together

@MelanieQuarmby 4 месяца назад

@scrapsaturdays 4 месяца назад

… FABRIC NUMBER FOUR !!! Yes I am shouting so you can hear me voting lol… all these fabrics and dress patterns are just awesome Ruan , I’m excited to see them all come to life .. hugs xoxo Monica 💙💙💙

@maz9917 4 месяца назад

Great vlog Ruan. Oooooo that fabric number 4 reminds me ofMerimiko , sooooo gorgeous. X

@SistasofStitchcraft 4 месяца назад

6 - ooo lovely pattern. Wishing you lots of luck. I have definitely been put of attempting a style arc pattern. 🍀🍀 Omg love fabric 1. Don't think I would choose a chambray. I think fabric 3 would make a great tate romper. No 4 not for this pattern. Ooo no5 would be fab. Do fabric 1 or 5. Maybe both 😘😍

@SistasofStitchcraft 4 месяца назад

*so not do 🤣🤣 bossy much 😂

@MountainAccentsSewing 4 месяца назад

Okay, I knew for sure you would include a TATB Lyra. You shocked me. LOL. I love all of your choices. I especially look forward to seeing the Honeycomb dress in the green vicose with lurex. I just made a Sew House Seven Regalia Blouse with mine. I used a different vicose for the inside bits. It's a beautiful fabric. ❤😊
