A few people have asked about the red and black cotton linen blend fabric so I've been on the Abakhan website to try and find it but it looks like it's sold out online 😢 There are a few Abakhan stores around, Shrewsbury, Chester, Stoke, Liverpool, Mostyn, Birkenhead, Bolton, Manchester & Preston so if you are passing any it might be worth a look. I can't guarantee they have it in all the stores but they definitely did at the Shrewsbury one this past weekend. Happy shopping 🥰

Hi from California. I made the Nell dress in a cotton/linen water colorish print. It’s beautiful. I only put buttons on the top, not the skirt. Looks great. I’ll make another one in a solid. Might make it smaller. Great pattern.

@ruthlanwarne8978 7 дней назад

I think the lady McElroy people fabric personally. You could always make covered buttons using different colours in the fabric. 😊

@ruthlanwarne8978 7 дней назад

Your dress looks lovely although I chose the other fabric. I still think that would be lovely too. The red is nice. 😊

Hi Ruth, I love your Nell dress the fabric is unusual, the use of the buttons I sent ages ago really work. If you ever need any buttons just let me know I have a HUGE stash, all different colours and designs. The fabric for your shirt is very summery I love it 💛 Had I known you were in Shrewsbury we could have met for a coffee 😂. The red linen is just fabulous. Lovely to see you at the sewing social yesterday. Happy sewing 🧵 xx

Fab dress on u, u have to make the second fabric up now too. I’m on the fence about this pattern because I’m not brave enough about buttons lol

@SeamStressedRuth 2 месяца назад

Don't be scared of buttons, they are much easier than you think. Practice on a scrap piece a few times until you feel confident and i'm sure they will be just fine 🥰 Having said that, I am scared of zips so should take my own advice x

@annesullivan1171 2 месяца назад

Love the dress. You should do it in the Lady McElroy fabric too. I used to makevthese back in the 90s. Great vlog ❤

The dress looks super on you & you have inspired me to get the pattern & have a go. Look forward to seeing the other two dresses made, particularly the red one. Such a shame, after all your work that the Gloria blouse has not come up to your expectations but thank you for those hints & tips, really useful. Love the other two fabrics you showed, just beautiful.😊

Great dress Ruth so beautifully made, isn’t it so rewarding when a pattern comes together perfectly ? I also really like the shirt, so well worth the effort of making it even though it probably wasn’t an enjoyable sew ! I don’t think pockets are needed as the fabric is so lovely. I can’t find the fabric you mentioned on the Abakhan website, I guess it's all sold out. Looking forward to seeing your next two Nell dresses

@SeamStressedRuth 2 месяца назад

@SeamStressedRuth 29 дней назад

Hi Lynda, Tilly and The Buttons patterns have really great step by step instructions so I would recommend you try them out if you are just getting started again. In terms of fabric, I have a few favourite places to buy from. Online I like Sew Eco Fabrics, Merchant and Mills, Guthrie Ghani and in person I like Abakhan and Textile Express.

@Kate-wf6hh 2 месяца назад

Lovely, lovely dress and I am so pleased you chose the 'safari' fabric. It looks great on you and reminds me of the Megan Neilson Darling Ranges dress. However one caveat - why are you using sellotape for patterns????? I use a paper trimmer and gluestick and it is sooooo much quicker. Without it I don't think I could bear to use A4 patterns. Today I have a beautiful ecru embroidered voile and I am making a Grainline Scout Tee (lined) because the fabric calls for a simple pattern. I am looking forward to seeing your next versions of the Nell although I am allergic to red and black together as it was my school uniform!

@SeamStressedRuth 2 месяца назад

Ooo I need to look into this glue stick method, it's new to me lol The red and black will definitely be separate makes 🥰

@chrissycrompton7585 2 месяца назад

I love your finished dress Ruth. Excited to see the red and black too. I've got the pattern abd fabric, and undecided whether to do size 4 or 5. I know you did size 4, how did it compare to your full bust measurement? I don't want mine too full in the bodice. The lemon shirt looks beautiful really nicely finished. Interesting review of the shirt pattern.

@SeamStressedRuth 2 месяца назад

Hi Chrissy. My current FB is 40", the size 4 finished garment measurements are 42 1/8th" and size 5 is 44 1/8th" so it probably depends on how much room you want for swishing and big dinners 😍
