I immediately thought your blouse was stunning and when you said it is the Marnie I did a double take. I've seen lovely versions but never any that made me think it would be something I might like for myself. The fabric, color, and doing just the pintucks really highlights them. Also, a great reminder that using the finished garment measurements to help choose how you want the garment to fit is a fantastic idea.

Hi Sally, I just wanted to say how much I love that Marnie blouse. I think going for a solid colour is a really good idea as it shows off the lovely pleats. I just wanted to mention the size of the zip in the Pippa dress. I actually went for a shorter zip (18”) even though I made the long dress. My daughter is 5ft2” and the shorter zip works better. 😊

Fantastic video as always. I got back into garment sewing about 2 years ago after years of quilting. Made many items because I saw them on other people only to find that I don’t wear them because they don’t fit my lifestyle. I’m now trying to be more aware when choosing patterns. I’ve recently made a Southbank dress and yesterday I made the version 2 in a teddy bear fleece. Love that pattern! Keep your videos coming

There have been quite a few patterns that initially I would never have even considered, but once I see the versions that you have made I love them. That blouse is gorgeous! Looking at the pattern I still can't believe it's the same one, because I honestly didn't care for it when I first saw it. I also love that green coat, I am a huge fan of outwear and coats are my weakness haha. Again it's a pattern I wouldn't have been drawn too initially but I loved how you styled it with your sweater and rain boots. So cute. I am currently waiting for fabric to come in the mail so I can make my own version of a black quilted riding jacket to wear with my riding boots I got for Christmas. I am so excited about it!

Thank you so much for your videos. I have learned so much from you. I sewed quite a lot as a young woman of the late 60's & 70's. Now in my 70's I am enjoying making my own again. I love all the Indie patters with success & a failure or two. That is why I appreciate your commentary on what you have sewn and how the sizing is on each. I am flying over on 10/2 to spend a few weeks with my daughter and family and spending a few days in London just for me. A friend told me about Gold Hawk Road and that I just had to visit. What do think is it worth it? Again thank you and take care ❤

Hi! Lovely makes. I want to make the Ilford Jacket as well, using the Violet Variated Fur Backed Corduroy Fabric from Guthrie and Ghani. The fabric is available elsewhere, but G&G has the best price per meter that I could find. This was you don't have to line it separately and it provides warmth. For the Pippa dress, could you actually add a working buttonhole or two, at the top and omit the side zip? Thank you!
