love the white shirt and trousers it looks like a jumpsuit, well done on fabric purchases don't feel bad at least you have you summer wardrobe sorted xx
Don’t feel bad. I broke my promise also.. I couldn’t resist, it was Mother’s Day, I had a gift card to MOOD FABRICS and yes, I bought fabric from other websites as well. But I blame that on some of the sewists that I watch on RU-vid. When you show your fabrics from your haul, it’s difficult to resist 😢 from going to the fabric websites and purchasing the same fabrics that I like. But that’s okay, We are both okay and one day someone will make beautiful garments from the MILES AND MILES OF FABRIC that we fabric addicts have.😢😢😢🙏🏻
I can't tell you off for doing what I do far too often! How does anyone resist beautiful fabrics? Love all your linen makes - lots of inspiration there for me so thank you ❤
Hi Ruth. Have only recently found your channel and am really enjoying your content. I love Tessuti patterns too and I dont live too far from their store. A visit to drool over their beautiful fabrics is always a highlight of a trip to Melbourne!
Ooo a red dress! Exciting! I think you made gods and sensible choices with the fabric, you will only ever receive encouragement from me in that department 😂 The white trousers looked fab, I’m so pleased you have found a pattern that works for you x
Hey Ruth, very nice vlog to watch once again and some lovely makes - I particularly like the shirt dress as its going to look absolutely stunning in that fabric 😊! Dont beat yourself up about your fabric haul - we all have those moments 😅 fabric bans dont work for me anyway so I cannot judge you 😅😅
Hi Di, I am beginning to think they don't work for me either 😊 I loved your latest vlog BTW with all those cute matching headbands, I might try one too. They look so good on you 🥰
Oh, don’t beat yourself up Ruth given half the chance I’m sure we all would have splashed out on that 50 percent off sale. I say well done and enjoy your fabric. Great choices by the way. ❤️🇨🇦
There’s nothing wrong with spending money on fabric if you sew it up and put it to good use. I must confess that I buy more than I can get sewn up, so I am working on that. Wish me luck 😂
Do you have enough of the denim to make a Darling Ranges shift/Shirt dress? I think that would really look cute and be comfy for summer. Loved seeing grubby Frank at the end!
If you're bad, then so am I 😂 I've bought way too much fabric recently! Your fabrics are solid staples, you'll get loads of wear out of them so I'd say you've actually been very practical and logical 😉
😂 last week I thought - I won't buy any more fabric for months. Yesterday I bought 2 fabrics from one shop and I've got 2 more in the basket of another one so no judgement from here. Also, the word butano is Spanish for the gas butane so an odd name to give to that pattern. Anyway, I'd call it boo-tah-no 😊
Oh that is an odd name then, perhaps we will all just look super hot when wearing it? 😂 Does a fabric ban ever really work, not for me, I'm too easily distracted by the fancy new stuff x
Frank is hilarious. I used to have a (much adored) spaniel who liked to roll in fox poo, so I am used to horrid dog habits!!! As for the fabric habit - life is short, do what makes you happy. I am just starting the Papercut Patterns Ashling shirt with an AGF fabric. They do such gorgeous prints so I am really looking forward to seeing your dress.
Than you again I love your plans and your linen wardrobe. You could change your fabric ban to second hand fabric is allowed that would mean that you could go shopping at lots of opportunity shops for linen sheets and vintage fabric. 🤣🤣
I don’t know anyone who could resist temptation of the Fabric Godmother sale! I got some cream viscose linen and a couple of pieces of black fabric. I’ve made black sorona linen trousers last year . My favourite pattern is the Tyra trousers from Ploen patterns ( wide legged). All the best with your sewing plans!
Don’t feel bad about fabric purchases Ruth, I’m with you all the way! I’ve spent far too much money recent on plenty of fabric! I think I need to join a fabrics anonymous group 😂 Love your linen items, they’ll be so great for summer & your dress is going to look gorgeous How about a Sonny jacket for the patchwork denim, or the Butano shirt? x
I'm glad it's not just me Claire 🥰 And yes I am very tempted by the Butano shirt, my A0 pattern is hopefully on its way so it could be the one. Are you making one? x
Hello Ruth, lovely vlog as always. I don’t think you bought too much fabric at all! You have plans for all of it. I looked at the Fabric Godmother sale but couldn’t find any fabric I wanted to purchase😢. Anyway you have a fabulous week, loving your recent makes by the way. I am going to make the Milenda dress by Tessuti patterns. See you soon happy sewing. 🧵 xx
With you all the way with Tessuti patterns and is there any such thing as too much fabric??? 😂😂😂. Loving your top and trousers - excellent pattern hacks for dress and blouse. Always good to use patterns creatively. I am on a ban too- it is so hard!! Good Luck with looking after hubby - hope your nursing skills are better than mine!! 😊 Lynne
Hi Ruth, lovely makes in the linen. You are lucky to get your fabric godmother order, as I'm still waiting for mine!!! I hope I like it when I eventually get it lol. No judgement from me, regarding fabric buying as long as its going to be made into something, where's the harm. That dress hack looks like it's going to be lovely too. Hope the hubby isn't too demanding on your time lol. Have a good week.
Love all your new fabrics,the patchwork denim and the black linen look gorgeous. I also have a problem with buying fabric 🤦♀️😂I’ve also just found a new trouser pattern that fits well, it’s the True Bias Emerson pants and they are a really good fit for me.
Ooo yes I have seen those ones, I think Sew Do It Emma has made a few of them too. It's great when you find your 'go to' pattern, now you can just focus on fabrics 😂
😂😂 Frank tried to eat the mic to stop you, telling everyone that you bought fabric. No guilty feelings, please, as we all do the same. And I've just been gifted 15 yards off cotton lawn in three different designs and colours, plus I bought 12 metres of viscose and linen fabric. I'm exhausted looking at it 😂😂😂 ❤❤
Hi Anita, thank you so much for watching and subscribing 🥰 Yes all these fabrics are from Fabric Godmother, I have put the link to their site in the description x
