Oh Ruan, I watch Sewing Bee religiously and have yet to see it all the way through as I can’t stay awake. Thank goodness for Catchup! You and your Northern Soul Sisters are my favourite sewing RU-vidrs.
Thanks Ruan. Hope you enjoyed catching up with the sewing bee. I had to smile when I saw that Lucy at Sew Essential suggested the pink and red animal print fabric you made your Saltwater Slip hack with for diva week. 😁🥰
Will wait patiently for the vid on the dress your wearing, a stunner. Good to see hubby again. I think the short sleeve fluer dress would look amazing on you.
Fabric looks great & think it needs a dress pattern that will show all the beautiful floral & toucans in full. Loved the bit when your hubby came in & trying to get the cat out. Not sure of the brown on you, such a different colour on you 🤔. Great video Ruan.❤
Thanks for making me giggle when your hubby came in 😂. I've just opened my SHJ box, and I love it ❤. You've got me thinking now about a shirt dress. I've never made one before, but the toucan fabric would be amazing for that. 😊
Hi Ruan,a picking it up where i left off, of 35 years ago sewing newbie here,Your inspiration and banter just gives me the lift i need to get me back in the saddle🤔🤣 Love the fabrics today, i saw a kimono instantly with the toucan fabric,to waft around in,im so tempted to go and subscribe now at the thought of it x Any patterns you know off for a basic not fancy,kimono, would be much appreciated xx 🙏💕🦜🌴🌺
Fantastic! I haven’t made a kimono but I’m sure there would be lots of RU-vid tutorials as it should be an easy one to make yourself rather than having a pattern maybe 🤔
Sorry but going to have to watch this vlog again Ruan. I am so distracted by Steve coming in and clicking the cat, then nearly swearing at it...I'm laughing out loud....how did you carry on filming after that...hilarious 😅
🤣🤣. Our cats are so funny. They’re like sulky teenagers so we have to nudge them with our feet to get them to move! When we go to bed at night they go in another room but would prefer to snuggle with us so they just sit in the hallway in protest 🙈🤣🤣
I love the main fabric and came to a similar conclusion after consider how cool a pair of dungarees would look. I now intend to make my boyfriend a matching shirt and shorts for long weekend in Benidorm next year for a friend’s 50th birthday!! I don’t think it could be more perfect😂
I love your Reeta dress and it really suits you. I have a problem with that pattern in that I always get stuck on the facing and collar! However I have some beautiful Seasalt cotton twill I’d love to make it in for the autumn. I’m so undecided about whether to go for it again. The second one I made is in cotton sateen and I think I didn’t get stuck and it is so wearable for any occasion. I think I just have a blind spot. The fabric is lovely and would be nice for the boys but they will grow out of them very quickly so maybe a dress for you. Would you wear a shirt dress on holiday? Just a thought 😊
Is that fabric a little slice of you or what 😍! How about a Sewing Revival Stitchbird dress- it doesn’t cut into the fabric at all so shows it in all its glory. Love all your unboxings - you are so original. Happy snuggling. 😊. Lynne
Love your vlogs. Your hair is great on you. Mine recently turned out the same colo. BUT, I am 74 1/2 years old with white hair so the pale lilac I was going for didn’t happen. Oops! Not the best look on me but I love it on you.
