Cosy Autumn Sewing Day - Making the Marnie by Tilly & The Buttons 

I always have an audio book on when I sew when I’m cleaning and driving to work I love them!! I Get through so many books 🙌👌 x

I love to sew with music or usually silence since my sewing room is in the house. When it was in a garden room I always had music. Never eat in the sewing room - I actually don’t think about food when I am engrossed in a project but I do have a lot of drinks - both hot and cold. Never made the Marnie because I have the Atelier Jupe Emma which I love. Never watched one of your sewalongs before but I will again!! Thank you.

It's beautiful, and the jacket is a wonderful addition

Your dress looks fabulous on you !

I’m with you on the hemming. I like to hem what I can as soon as possible. 😊

Lovely dress , it would look great with a black faux leather biker jacket ❤

I usually sew watching sewing or knitting vlogs, I have several favourites so usually enough content really love chatty sew alongs so enjoying this very much. I never have any drinks or food near my machines or fabrics just in case something happens. Something unexpected and then it would be a catastrophe! I’ve seen that film but no spoilers from me ! Enjoy. Xx ps you are so right how movies sometimes don’t do books justice, I read time travellers wife my favourite book ever and whilst I did enjoy the film it was no where near as good as the book and if you saw the movie and didn’t read the book you would not know how fantastic the book is. Xx

Your room is so clean! I listen to tv shows or movies. Just for background noise.

I love seeing you make and show your garments.I am a plus size and it's great to see how styles look on a similar body, especially when they look so good.I wouldn't have thought this style would have suited me for the reasons you gave but it looks so lovely on you I have changed my mind.Thanks for the tip about the vest,That is what I love about your vlogs,it is like having a friend to chat to and give advice.Unless the dress was lengthened considerably I wouldn't use a belt.The length it is now means a belt cuts it in half.Mind you if you wear a belt with it and show it I am sure I would change my mind. I either sew in silence or with the TV on.I don't like drinks or food when I sew as I'd be afraid of making a mess.

I love your sewing videos, they’re great. Fabulous Marnie and it looks great on you 😍 I’ve not made the Marnie as I’m a size 14 (36DD bra but actual 43” bust) and thought I was too busty for it but you’ve set me thinking!🤔

I listen to audiobooks or podcasts on projects that I need to concentrate on or music and vlogs on simpler project cutting out etc … so mood based really 😊 like the dress on you but still not converted

Dress looks great on you Love this video 😊

I listen to music loudly which usually means I’m on my own as my husband will go find a quiet place to read 😂 I also avoid drinking while I sew as I have both dropped pins in my coffee and ended up dipping material in it by accident! Depending on how focused I get I often forget to eat then realise it’s 4pm 😅

Loved this style of video, a "sew with me and chat" ! More please! 😊

Fab make, you look great.

The Marni dress looks lovely on you Hayley x

I am a huge audiobook fan - love having a story on 🤩🤩

Looks lovely Hayley😌x

Dress looks great on you! I love the way you talk about feeling the cold and thermal vests. I'm just the same 😂! I've had Love Leggings for some years now and would always buy from them - good quality. Will look at both those books you mentioned too.

Your dress looks lovely, Hayley. I am making a Sabina skirt from the same fabric. I have read both your books and loved them. I like leggings from Seasalt, very good quality clothing!

This dress looks lovely on you.

Great video love your garment ❤ Just received my November classic box I love the main garment and the monochrome extra. Have you looked at the booklet that you usually put in? I think the publisher has got it all mixed up. The luxury box is described as a dress it’s obviously a two piece, the classic box extra in the introduction piece is said to be luxury jersey, in the Named Clothing Kielo Wrap jumpsuit but the picture is a blouse 🤷🏻‍♀️ I know you cannot do anything now but maybe have a word with your publisher if it keep happening it doesn’t look good for your proof reader. Tip:: I use sherring elastic for gathering, I sew a line on stitch length 4 then when I attach the gathered part to the ungathered part then after just undo the elastic. I use this method because I’m absolutely useless at gathering this way my gathers are mostly even. Still love my fabrics though. 😂

Totally agree about hemming … worst job, and if it’s got a nice straight hem on a project I’ve made before, I’m hemming that before I made half the bodice 🤣🤣

Love that dress, you look great ❤

Love it! It looks great on you ❤

Love it, looks great on you 👏🙂

The dress looks fab on you. 🎉 I want to make this now with the same fabric in purple that I got in my SHJ box! I loved your pink jumper at the start of the video. Did you make that?

My guide to hemming: nobody is fully symmetrical, and if somebody is trying to look at the hem too closely keep on moving!😂

I would watch RU-vid videos but the noise of the sewing machine drowns the sound out and I can’t concentrate if I have the volume too loud 🙄😂 I don’t drink anything whilst I’m sewing but I ALWAYS stop around 3pm for Hot Chocolate O’clock 🤷‍♀️😍 I really like your dress. I’m not a dress wearer but I think I could pull that look off, I may just give it a go 🤔

I bloody hate ironing
