It would be great if you could do a video on how you grade out your patterns. I loved all the patterns you showed in this video! Thanks.

@sewamelia Год назад

Thanks Caitlin! I will try to film a tutorial soon.

@vicki9298 Год назад

Oh yes. A video on grading..or any other technique that you use, would be fantastic

Thank you! I will try to include a tutorial in a future video.

Cuff and hemband made that dress!!!

@sewamelia Год назад

They make it a bit more interesting, for sure!

@bridgetrsews Год назад

Lovely makes ! I like body suits as they do feel so smooth and comfortable, just a bit tricky when in a hurry for the loo😬. I’m always impressed with the amount of things you make having small children as well , Bridget

@sewamelia Год назад

Thank you Bridget. I am luck to still get nap time, but I think as that is soon to change, I might not get quite as much time in the sewing room!

@elizabethwright4623 Год назад

You could add a bit of red Rick rack to the “Daventina” collar. It could look quite nice!

@sewamelia Год назад

Thank you Elizabeth, I really like that idea!

@debsmadethis Год назад

Super selection, thanks for sharing !

@sewamelia Год назад

I am glad you enjoyed the selection. Thank you for watching!

@LostMyThread Год назад

Lovely video, Amelia! I'm actually keeping a spreadsheet now to see what I wear the most. Last year, the Toaster Sweater (1 & 2) was definitely up there. I'm curious to see what this winter brings!

@sewamelia Год назад

That is such a great idea. I'm trying turning hangers in my wardrobe once I have worn something, to keep track a bit more, but I love the idea of a spreadsheet!

@carolfuller2941 Год назад

I agree the neck line is a little snug, I also have both colours of cream and navy fabric, love it so much, so soft 😊

@sewamelia Год назад

Isn't it the snuggliest! I need to try and use up the scraps for something else now. The fabric is too cosy to leave in my remnants bag.

@bluegrassdreams2seams510 Год назад

Nice review of makes. You can access some beautiful prints and a variety of types of fabrics. Cheryl

@sewamelia Год назад

Thank you so much Cheryl, I am glad you enjoyed the video.

@mandylinn1750 Год назад

For a really snuggly Billie Sweatshirt dress I added the TATB Freya cowl neck. At 5'11" I didn't increase the length but wear a Rowan body and leggings/jeggings underneath with boots, super cozy. I have used both jersey cable knit and sweatshirt fabric. Teamed with the Hudson pants when indoors, I can't use the heating, I'm too warm 😁

@sewamelia Год назад

Thank you, Mandy. That is a great idea to add a cowl neck to the Billie and would make it so snuggly! I love the idea of layering it up too - so cosy!

@JP-nl4dp Год назад

Lovely blog Amelia, as usual some beautiful and varied makes. Love watching your videos. Thank you 😊💐

@sewamelia Год назад

Thank you so much Bridget. I am glad you enjoy watching the videos. 😊

@SoSarahSewed Год назад

Oooh I’ve been tempted by the Lyra for a while and you’ve reminded me to bump it up my list again! Maybe for next autumn here… ☺️ Thanks for a lovely video Amelia. My autumn / winter most worn items are definitely the York pinafore by Helen’s Closet and one of your top 5 - the Billie jumper. I have made several of each and they’re worn constantly through the cooler months. ☺️ About 10 months of the year to be honest!

@sewamelia Год назад

The Billie jumper is such a good winter wardrobe staple - I love your versions too! I have the Ruby pinafore from Helen's Closet on my list to make soon. I hope you enjoy making your Lyra. I reach for it all the time!

@van_vinos66 Год назад

I was surprised you didn't pick your Hug Hoodie because that make looked SO cosy and inspired me to buy the pattern :-)

@sewamelia Год назад

I was so close to picking that one, but I decided on the Bille because of my dress and sweatshirt versions. But I do love my Hug Hoodie too!

@debwild2261 Год назад

Love your videos. Hearing about how you grade the patterns and which fabrics to use is great

@sewamelia Год назад

Thank you so much Deb. I am glad you are enjoying the videos and that they are helpful!

@janspenno2241 Год назад

Interesting. I’m tempted to try the billie dress now. Yours are beautiful

@sewamelia Год назад

Thank you Jan! It took a bit of fitting, but I am really pleased with it now.

@sarahblack8913 Год назад

After all the mentions of layering up with a turtleneck top I was so sure the bonus pattern was going to be the TATB Freya or similar :D maybe a 7th winter staple? I definitely need the Rowan - I've been trying to find a tshirt pattern to wear with my memade skirts but dislike how they scroofle (a real word!) up around the waistband. A bodysuit would solve my dilemma! Thanks for the inspo!

@sewamelia Год назад

It is really funny - I have made the Freya but don't reach for it nearly as often as my Rowan tops, so I had to include them instead. They are definitely better for avoiding all 'scroofle' issues. Love that word! ❤

@evasaker2476 Год назад

Hi Amelia, Lovely makes as usual! I just got to the part about the collar of the Lyra dress and how difficult it was to work with in viscose and I immediately wanted to give you a smart tip for the next time. That is to press the interfacing on to the fabric BEFORE you cut out the collar and stand, that way it won’t slither around and you get perfect edges and no fraying. If you use the finest interfacing you can put it on both upper and under collar pieces. Now on with the rest of the video! 😊

@sewamelia Год назад

Thank you! That is a great tip. I did use very lightweight interfacing on the collar - but it would have been so much easier to fuse, then cut! I will definitely do that next time. Thanks!

@caoakley2157 Год назад

I think you may have persuaded me to purchase the Vetiver top...tempted, very tempted by the long sleeve version!

@sewamelia Год назад

Isn't the long sleeve version pretty! Thank you for watching.

@marieg2815 Год назад

Mine are the Mandy Boatneck and Monroe Turtleneck free top patterns from Tessuti. I’ve also lengthened them into just above the knee dresses. I think I’m at 5 versions now with 2 or 3 more planned. I do have to widen the sleeves and turtleneck a bit.

@sewamelia Год назад

I really love the Monroe too, but haven't made the Mandy Boatneck yet. It sounds like a great idea to lengthen them into dresses! Thanks for watching. 😊

@justsewit_tk5477 Год назад

Really lovely! We're heading into Summer yet it is temperamental weather wise in Australia. I love that Lyra dress!

@sewamelia Год назад

Thank you, I am glad you enjoyed the video. The Lyra is such a versatile dress. I wore it in the summer too as the viscose lawn is so floaty!

@marygreen7225 Год назад

Great video Amelia, beautiful makes. Thank you. I am just off to purchase the Vetiver expansion pack. I absolutely loved my previous Vetiver.

@sewamelia Год назад

I hope you love sewing the expansion pack, Mary! I was so happy to be able to make a more wintry version of the Vetiver as I reached for it all through the summer!

@ilariagarbati9412 Год назад

Hi Amelia, I like your Vetiver top a lot. The princess seams give a real professional touch to the shirt. The pattern is lined? Thanks for your suggestions and all the details on various patterns. I really appreciate!

@sewamelia Год назад

Thank you for watching Ilaria! The Vetiver top is not lined, but there are instructions on how to sew it with french seams, so the inside is finished off beautifully.

@doreenbradley3849 Год назад

I love watching your videos and seeing your beautiful makes. A video on grading between sizes would be super helpful. I'd like to try the last blouse pattern with a checked fabric too but think I'd struggle to pattern match the princess seams. Yours is beautiful 😍

@sewamelia Год назад

Thank you Doreen! I will try to film a grading tutorial really soon. Thanks for watching!

@lynnelister7364 Год назад

Another fabulous vlog Amelia I love everything that you’ve made such versatile pieces🧵 I would like to watch a vlog on how you grade your patterns as your measurements are are the same as mine and I sometimes struggle to get the correct fit. 🥰

@sewamelia Год назад

Thank you so much Lynne for watching, and I am glad you enjoyed the video. I will try to include a tutorial on grading in a future video very soon. Thanks for watching!

@maureencullen1008 Год назад

Loved your makes and very informative opinions.I would love a video on how you grade out your patterns.The fabric of the first Billie dress is stunning.Instead of cutting it to make a sweater why not make a tunic? Take the hem band off and make side splits ,that way you'd keep most of the fabric.You could make it into a dress by making a longer and wider contrast hem band and then add longer contrast sleeve bands. Whatever you decide I am looking forward to seeing your finished make.

@sewamelia Год назад

Thank you Maureen, I am glad you enjoyed the video! I love your idea for the Billie, side splits could have worked really well. I have shared what I did to it in this week's video!

@theresawagner2642 Год назад

Love that Vetiver top. The pattern I have reached for many times in the past is: Silhouettes Pattern, Classic Blouse. Although, lately, watching all you lovely ladies and what you make, I am getting more experimental-making dresses and using bodices as just cropped tops. Too many idea and too little time. Do you fine that to be true? Love your videos.

@sewamelia Год назад

I definitely agree that I have so many more ideas than time to sew them! The classic blouse looks like a beautiful piece to add to a handmade wardrobe! ❤

@lizziel4876 Год назад

That Vetiver top is really lovely! I don't buy that many patterns but I'll be buying this one, and could see myself making many variations of it. It's not often I come across a pattern I like this much. It's the sort of thing I have in my head but couldn't hope to design myself. I really enjoyed this video and will be subscribing. Good to know you're in England - the accent made me think otherwise! Also good to know that you ride a bike! Do you ride in a skirt/dress?

@sewamelia Год назад

Thank you, Lizzie. The Vetiver top is so gorgeous. Definitely one of my favourite patterns. Thank you so much for subscribing and yes, I ride in skirts and dresses - as long as they are not too tight! 😂

@@sewamelia maybe you could do a video on this subject one day!

@marywallace5248 Год назад

Amelia, did you do the higher or lower neckline on the Patina . It looks perfect on you! Just bought the expansion pack on the Vetiver top, love it!

@sewamelia Год назад

I bought the pattern before they added the lower neckline option. But I find the standard neckline to be plenty deep enough for me! Any lower and I think it might be a bit revealing for me. Thanks for watching!

@elainescotter9973 Год назад

Thanks for this really useful blog! I have a question about the Rowan please. Does the bodysuit have fastening at the crotch? I guess it must but I can’t see mention of that from the info on the MN website. All lovely makes as always Amelia. 👍

@sewamelia Год назад

Thanks for watching Elaine! It dies have poppers at the crotch, which makes it easy to get on and off.

@threadtherapy251 Год назад

The sleeves caught me out- I’ve got a half made lyra that has no sleeves because the arm hole is so tight I just know it’s going to be too uncomfortable 😞 I found the indigo sleeves to be the same.

@sewamelia Год назад

It is really interesting to know it isn't just me that finds Tilly sleeves quite tight! Sorry that it meant you haven't finished your Lyra though! I really should have thought about it before making the Lyra as I also found the Indigo sleeves to be tight fitting. I think I need to remember in the future that Tilly sleeves are on the small side!
