Cara, what a fantastic fabric haul. You're so fortunate to have so many fabric stores you can visit in person. And to do it with like-minded people would be just dreamy. What a wonderful couple of days!

I think I’ve watched everyone’s vlogs now and you all look like you had a fabulous few days! I made a trip to the rag market recently but made the mistake of going on Thursday and it was very disappointing but I’m glad to see you all made such good finds. I wish I’d gone to Barry’s!

@sosewmad 12 дней назад

I agree the rag market is definitely hit and miss, there was only about 4 stalls at the market but luckily we found some things we ❤️

It was lovely meeting you at Becs social in your lovely jump suit. The fabric you got was wonderful. I’ve been to the Fabric Eporium today and spent quite a bit. It’s worth it really no postage. Loved your blog. Have subscribed will be watching again. Xxx

Looks like you had an amazing couple of days, you’ve got some lovely fabrics. I went to Birmingham a few weeks ago, luckily for me they didn’t have as many stalls in the outside bit, I still managed to buy quite a lot though 😂, loved Barry’s, so much choice there

There were only about 5 stalls outside, but like u we made the most of it!

Hi Cara! We all have 'space for more fabric in our lives' don't we? I will repeat what I wrote to Angela. I'm so envious of all the wonderful sewing friends you all have in each other and the availability of such amazing fabric resources. As I've mentioned, I do most of my shopping online. Is it a bit weird that I include you, Angela and Sarah as some of my sewing friends? Yup. It's weird. Haha, I don't care. I'm so happy that you all had this soul enriching weekend. And as always, thank you for sharing!

@sosewmad 16 дней назад

Hi Rita we are definitely all sewing friends which includes you😊it was amazing ❤️

@ritaadler-everett5392 16 дней назад

@@sosewmad Thank you Cara. May I ask you a question about the Cuba Libra Dress? Did you make a toile first or just go for it? As I'm translating inches to cm and looking on the sizing chart, I'm falling into several sizes depending on the measurement. i.e. shoulder width/across, I'm measuring 30cm (using the illustration as a point of reference), which is way off the chart. My sleeve length is smaller than on the chart, length is always off on me, shorter front, longer back. You've made more MF patterns. Do you find their measurement are spot on for the size you fall in for the bust? Thanks for helping.

@sosewmad 16 дней назад

The MF patterns don’t have a lot of ease and I don’t make toiles, there is some gathering front and back of the dress so you’ll be able to make some adjustments, I’d work of your bust measurement and take it from there, it’s super simple to make so you could just do the top bodice

@ritaadler-everett5392 16 дней назад

@@sosewmad Thanks so much for the quick answer. I'm so used to most of the patterns having so much ease in them, that I'm happy I asked you. The name of this dress always make me giggle, as it makes me think of a wrestling character in a silly movie I watched with my husband. I hope you'll post your dress.

@georgianasstudio 16 дней назад

I’ve been thinking about why we don’t have the kind of sewing friendships in Australia as you do in the UK and I think it might be because we are so far apart and it’s very expensive to unite us from different states. I’m not sure we have something like the Goldhawk Rd here either. I know Sydney Rd Brunswick has some fabric shops and no doubt other capital cities have a fabric district. Frocktails has done well here (not that I’ve been able to make it to any of them). I live in remote North West Tasmania so I’ve found it difficult to meet other sewists on the same page as me. I’m trying to start things here but fibromyalgia gets in my way.

@sosewmad 16 дней назад

Ah that’s a shame, however in our group I traveled over 3 hours and Angela over 4 so we are also v spread out x I hope you can find something x

@georgianasstudio 16 дней назад

@@sosewmad travel from one state to another is either a 12 or more hour drive or a flight. We have cities surrounded by large areas of regional areas with much smaller populations. I’d definitely travel 3-4 hours for a sewing meetup. Yet to find others here willing to do the same. It’s so lovely to watch you all in the UK though.

Hi Cara I love love what you have done with the Paula knot top and the peppermint wide leg trousers - the trendy look of a jump suit but all of the convenience of separates, it just looks great. I would like to copy that idea. Is it easy enough to alter the knot top from being twisted at the front to simply tying at the back? I’m a bit of a novice when it comes to hacking patterns😂.

@sosewmad 15 дней назад

Hiya thank you for your kind words, no changes made to the Paula knot top, actually I couldn’t work out how it knotted 😅 I just wrap it around
