Julie, I’m so happy that I’ve discovered your channel! We have such similar tastes 😅. So far, I have seen you share 3 garments on my wish list and I love your versions 😍. You are a natural at this vlogging lark! I’ve practiced so many times and been put off by the thought of editing 🤣🫣. I also love your garden sewing room 😍. Thank you for sharing x

Thank you so much, such a lovely comment 🤩 I’d love to know what’s on your wish list that I’ve shared. I took some advice from the lovely Jess @sewwhatifisew and stopped fussing about the editing, and only edited bare minimum on my last 2 vlogs and it does make life so much vlogging easier. You really should jump in and give it a go, it’s quite good fun 😊😍 thanks for your encouragement 🫶🏻

Naomi, plug it in and give it a go. Sewing is one stitch at a time! Go as slow as you need to so you have control. Check if your local area has any beginner courses. You can do this! 😁😍

Great vlogJulie. Love the Peony dress. I’ve done a couple of zips but it’s not a skill I am comfortable with yet. Your Zoe top look s beautiful. I made one as well. I want to make another one but size up. I think it will fit a little better. I’m just about to sew my second knit item, and then I think I’ll start planning and sewing for spring and summer. I though I would try and sew one or two seasons ahead. That way I’m hoping to have some clothes ready to wear when the weather seasons change, not scramble to get things done when we’re in the middle of the season. It’s a plan at least! See you next vlog 😎

I’d love to be sewing a couple of seasons ahead but I’m finding my weight has been fluctuating a lot over the last couple of years and I’d be gutted to pick something out my wardrobe for the first time that I’d made a few months ago and find it was too tight or too loose. My current options are eat less cake or sew in season 😂🤷♀️

Thank you for sharing your recent makes and talking about the pattens and materials used. It was also helpful to know that some dress pattens have side zips. A really good option for folk who have restricted movement.

You’re so right Anne, I had a shoulder injury and couldn’t lift me arm to pull zippers at the back of dresses for about 3 years. I would imagine anyone with a long term restriction would appreciate side zip access.

Oh no 😮 unpicking the lightning stitch is a real pain in the….. I tend to use the triple stitch instead of the lightning stitch and just a bit longer stitch length as it’s also a stretch stitch. Much easier to unpick

That’s a great suggestion Karina, I’m keen to abandon the lightning stitch as it is always the seam that needs unpicking- I think we are incompatible 🤣🤣

Thank you Elizabeth. O didn’t make any alterations. The front bodice has 6 darts which provides lovely shaping. I think the fabric choice helped with the fitting. It has some gentle give in it without being a stretch fabric if that makes sense.

Have you tried Maraflex thread it is for using with stretch fabrics and you are able to use a straight stitch.

I have used maraflex quite a bit. It’s definitely quicker and uses a lot less thread than zigzag & lightning stitches. I have had the threads break on a couple of T-shirt neckbands but maybe I had the tension set wrong.
