My vote is for the Dani shorts as they sound like the thing you'll wear the most (also good emergency back up for that lovely Seville fabric if you can't squeeze out a playsuit). I just watched Tanja from itssewtanshi talk about the Marnie in her blouse video and how she she's made less fussy versions. Might be worth checking out :)
A HUGE vote here for the Saltwater. Honestly one of my favourite and most worn garments. I have multiple! x
Ooh I'll have to check out your versions again and see what I think. Would be interesting to try something completely different... :)
I think our crafting mojo goes up and down with the cycles of our lives. I know mine does big time! I don't stress over it anymore like I used to, because like you I still had the interest and passion, just not the energy or mojo to carry through. I find if I go through my stashes (mainly my yarn and fabric these days) and sort things, it still gives me pleasure and will often stimulate the creative process. Be kind to yourself ❤
Thank you ❤ I guess that happens with any hobby, it ebbs and flows throughout our lives so we should embrace that and not force it 😊
I can't wait to see your Zadie playsuit in that fabric! It looks glorious 😍
Thanks! Fingers crossed I can get it out of 1.2m 😆
I’d be interested to see how the Dani shorts turned out so that would be my vote! 😊 I have a KZhead channel, which I recently started. I’ve done 6 videos so far 😀
Thanks, I am really tempted by them!
Hi Romy, I really enjoyed your vlog and hearing about your trip. Thanks for the tip about the binding on the Zadie, I’m planning on trying that soon so it’s great to know I can turn the binding to the inside. I prefer that look too 🥰 See you soon, Ruth x
Thanks Ruth! Can’t wait to see your Zadie! I’m hoping I’ll get some sewing time this weekend to start on it ☺️
The shorts pattern looks good! I vote for them! I think I will also get them The Marnie blouse would also be great. I have the pattern and intend to make it myself in a double guaze.
I think the shorts might be the winner for me too! ☺️
Your weekend away in Seville sounds lovely! How fab that you found a fabric shop. So good to have you back on KZhead! I was on the fence with the Marnie too, but after seeing lots on instagram, I want to make it. I think the dress might be a bit too floaty for me though xx
Thanks Karen! Still in two minds but would love to see how the Marnie looks on me as I never wear things like that! x
I think I would have reprinted the pattern using the back of the other pages in order to save paper. Good luck.
Ah good idea!
😂😂😂 I think I share that “toxic trait”!! A maxi dress out of 1.5m…. Sure 😉
Haha I can’t help it, I’m wildly optimistic 😂
