Sarah congratulations on your wedding and I wish you all the best ! I can't wait to see your wedding dress...I absolutely love the last blouse, it's so classy and elegant, I know it's outside of your comfort zone but I really think that looks great on you. God bless you, love from TN, USA
Thank you so much!!
Love the knit tops. Very nice. Weddings are stressful as heck so hopefully you'll indulge in the French tradition of self care.
Thank you! 😊
That green print top at the end looks really beautiful. Great job.
Thank you so much!
Beautiful makes. Especially love that ponte..colour is gorgeous on you.
Thank you so much!
Great video, thanks again for the inspo! I made the Seamwork Astoria (twice). The first one was pretty short and snug so I gifted it to my daughter and made another in the next size + 3" to the length, for me. It's a bit too roomy so I'm going back again for #3. It is a great pattern. I'm so impressed with how much you are able to get out of a meter or two of fabric -very impressive! I love the wrap blouse and am adding that to my list. Thank you again for taking the time to make this video. I love to see what you are up to (sewing-wise) as your style is elegant, classic and timeless. Sheila
Thank you for the compliment and I'm glad you liked this video! 😊
Lovely makes! I think I would cut the vest top off at the natural waist and finish the hem with elastic. This would gather the fabric more evenly and if worn with higher waisted skirts or trousers the gathered hem could still be tucked in. I love the wrap top. I think I might have to give that one a go myself. Good luck for your wedding. I’m looking forward to seeing how your dress turns out 🙂
That's a good idea, thank you!
I always love to see what you've made Sarah! Your sewing is so precise and the fit on the top you're wearing is perfect. As soon as I saw you on screen, I wondered, "Did she make that top?" The fit, matching the cable knit - amazing! I also love your wrap top at the end. Wrap tops suit you so well. I would say that should be your "go to" in the future 😊 Thank you for another lovely video! I am looking forward to seeing your wedding pictures. I'm sure it will be all so incredibly beautiful, just like you ☺
Oh, thank you so much for your kind words! ❤️ I'm so glad you noticed the matching cable pattern on the dress I was wearing, I did indeed spend a lot of time on it 🤣
Glad you’re recording all this. It will be “fun later” when you can watch together with your soon-to-be husband and reminisce how you overcame it all. Just show up for the ceremony and keep smiling!
Oh, thank you so much! 😊 You're right, it is really stressful now, but I know that once it's all done and over I'll miss it and want to relive the excitement, even the stressful bits! ❤️
I love how you're very instructional and with details too. I can't wait to see you and your wedding dresses! 💞
Thank you 🥰
I didn't even know that there were differences in wedding traditions with American and French culture, looking forward to learning about it!
I'm glad you're curious! I can't wait to talk all about it 😊
Wow the time has flown. I can’t believe your wedding is nearly here. Thank you for sharing I loved to hear your makes 😊
Thank you!! 😊 And yes, I feel like time is moving so much quicker than usual 😅
Beautiful garments! And I love hearing about your wedding plans too - can’t wait to see your dress! 😍
Thank you! And I'm relieved to hear that you don't mind when I prattle on about my wedding plans... it's all that's on my mind these days! 🤣
@@Sarah_Naomi I’m not surprised - it’s all consuming but so exciting!! I don’t mind at all - it’s joyful 😁
I love the fit of the Adeline wrap top - definitely one to add to my sewing plans! I'm looking forward to seeing your wedding dress video!
Yes, the fit is quite good! I just wore it to work today and I can confirm that it's both classy and comfortable, especially in a soft viscose like the one I made mine in 😊
Love watching your videos; always very inspiring. Good luck with the preparations for your wedding and the dress(es)! Greetings from The Netherlands.
Thank you so much!!
Love your wrap top, Sarah! I think your cream cami is lovely too. We are always critical of our own makes. I was inspired by you to make a Sauvie sundress recently and I wore it on a holiday to Dubai. I didn’t do the waisted version so it was super comfortable but I have some viscose to try that now too. Just need some good weather soon in the UK. Good luck with your wedding dress, can’t wait to see it!
I'm so glad that you tried the Sauvie dress! And what a fantastic holiday! Thank you for the well wishes 😊
Would love to hear about a French/N American wedding! Can’t wait to see your dress! And I’m sure your location will be gorgeous!! Looking forward to seeing it all😊
I'm so happy to hear that you're curious about the event! I can't wait to share it AND the dress 😊
Hi Sarah 😊. Hope your sewing plans are going well. Can’t wait to see your dress. I’m sure it will be beautiful. I would love to know if you will have a wedding cake or a croquembouche.
Thank you so much and good question! That was definitely a detail I had a difficult time making my mind up over🤣 I'll make sure to include the final decision in the next video 😊
Are you going to have a pièce montée for dessert? That's one of the few French traditions I brought to my Scottish wedding. I wish you bags of luck for your wedding dress! Remember not to accidentally cut into it like I did for my friend's dress 😬😬😬 luckily she lost weight and we had to take in that bit 😂
Thank you for the question and well wishes! And oh my goodness, I'm glad that your friend's dress turned out well, what stress! So far, my biggest mistake has been ordering 7 meters of the wrong fabric (😓), but nothing non-reversible so far! 🤞
Bonjour Sarah, quelle plaisirs de célébrer un mariage. Quand j'habitait en France, la propriétaire de notre maison nous a montré une photo du croque en bouche (pièce montée) en forme de tour Eiffel qui faisait environ 165 cm de haut quelle avait à son mariage. Mes amis français célèbre aussi leurs anniversaire de mariage avec un croque en bouche, c'est hilarant. Je suis de Montréal et nous avons surtout des gâteaux de noces traditionnels à quelques étages comme chez nos voisins Etats-Uniens. B 🇨🇦
C'est vrai que les croque en bouches sont très impressionnants (et difficile à reproduire chez soi !) ! Le choix était difficile... je vous en dirai plus prochainement !
P.S. can't wait to see your wedding dress - how exciting! Hope your wedding sewing is going smoothly.
Thank you!!
