This fall I've made a peppermint wrap top in a navy blue double gauze and love the top. I also made my ceramicist friend a black canvas split skirt pottery apron with a hand emboidered towel as a birthday gift. Now that those are done, I have been wanting to make a black linen set out of a (modified) peppermint wrap top and the closet core Sepia pants, which are also a barrel leg, elastic waist pant. Where I live light layers are good year round, bc mornings and nights are chilly those days are temperate. And fall tends to be the warmest time of year. So black but linen feels like a great transition. Not bright and summery, but still lightweight and breathable. I also bought a pattern for a garmet bag that zips into a duffle bag. 🎉

Palmer Pletch basically include a fitting manual in all of their patterns. Highly recommend for anyone who might need a helping hand with fit. I like Melissa Watson's designs, she has a custom suit company in New York. I think Closet Core Patterns hit it out the park with the Rika's! I just printed out the Sylvan jacket from Sew Liberated and I am going to give the Taylor Trousers, by BF patterns.

I may also start wearing white pants in winter. I wear linen year round, even given my cold climate.

Good job, Rebecca! Your new knits are gorgeous. Very classic and versatile. New subscriber here, as I like your taste in sewing patts too. Eager to see wh a t you come up with next.

Really interested to hear about your McCall's blazer and comparing with your Bella Loves blazer... I hear you about the in-depth instructions with BL as I'm just embarking on the double wool Kaia coat! 😅 The colourway of your quilt is beautiful btw 💙🤍🖤🤎🩵

The trouser collection you made is terrific! The Frey pants look especially good, I love the details. I also liked your cropped Jenna shirt. It's been on my radar for a while - such a good classic design isn't it?

Have you looked at Apiece Apart's site? I rhink thats the name. I love their elevated feminine/masc clothes

I also love white all year. Winter white is a thing. Also heard that the old rule that you can’t wear white after Labor Day is not true anymore. You’ve inspired me to sew pants!

Hi Rebecca, I loved your video and all previous ones too ! I found a wonderful men's suiting fabric in a dark blue denim shade in a charity shop in the UK! It even had "Made in England Worsted Wool" written down the selvage..I couldn't believe my luck but realised I had to find the right pattern to do it justice. When I opened it out it had a miniscule hole in it but as there was 3 metres I knew I could cut around it easily. I chose a paperbag style balloon shape trouser pattern with a self made tie belt and I love wearing these as they have a lovely drape- not thick. A weeny bit scratchy material due to the age of the fabric but its definitely worth it. I think they'll last a lifetime (as long as there aren't any more holes which I haven't seen) . Love looking for patterns that will stand the test of time too. Thanks again for the video.

I agree with you about the white pants in fall. I wore mine yesterday

I need to do a few new pants. I have a few patterns to sew up. I am going to attempt my first bike jersey from wool fabric. Its a basic long sleeve tee with a zipper in the back. But i don't have a good Semi-Fitted tea. So the adventure begins 😂

All beautiful makes, well done. 💕💕💕

The quilt top is awesome, congratulations! But the best thing is to see the joy in your face 😊

Wow !

Love the colors. It’ll be timeless.

Dress to impress

It's beautiful!

Very helpful

Thank you for researching wool yarns. I am concerned about the work I put in on a garment and the resulting pilling with acrylic. So you also have to research acrylics thoroughly in order to find the softest, least pilling type. 😊

I love all your knits.

Looks fantastic! Can you please say which patterns you used?

Thank you! My partner has a huge fabric allergy that rules out most synthetic fabric, including polyester (unfortunately it’s in EVERYTHING). They can’t even have their plushies on their bed anymore and Im on a quest to remedy that with Amigurumi. This was helpful

I appreciate this video, as I have been thinking a lot about 100% wool. I have a LOT of acrylic yarn, but I will use it to make all manner of blankets. Acrylic yarn is my choice for blankets and children’s clothing. However, for adult wearables, wool is my choice. I’ve been on the lookout for wool yarn, so this videos is particularly helpful! Thank you!

Love this video, and would also enjoy the inspiration from other cultures idea. Studio Nicholson was my favorite new inspiration site. Def agree on the Pinterest algorithm issues, but also don’t want to spend time searching out blindly for new inspirations. So this was very helpful. I’d suggest Toast, quality and aesthetically a match I believe. I’m a new follower and am enjoying your content a great deal, so thank you!

I just got the petite knit pattern! So excited to start. I am totally doing that cranberry color. I used that color in a crochet summer cardigan and it's perfect! Where did you find your buttons?? The match is amazing.

I live in the UK, and my style aesthetic is very similar to yours. I love the British brand Toast, I think they have opened a store in New York. Another thing to like about them is their general humanitarian ethos. Their garment works are paid well, and they use mostly natural fibres, most of which are organic. They also stock homewares, and showcase work from craftspeople too. If you sign up to their newsletter, you also get a digital magazine that explores all sorts of crafts and design which might appeal.

Thanks for these suggestions! It was interesting to see where you find inspiration. Two of those I'd never heard of before, so awesome! I also tend to be drawn to classic pieces, sort of androgynous. I spent my 20s and 30s being sort of a goofy hipster postpunk wreck of a dresser, but I've found that style no longer works for me or appeals to me. I'm still working it out. It's not easy as I age and change styles at the same time. I still get pretty wacky ideas for stuff to make, but I know that classic and simple will work better for me. It's a process. I sometimes lack the faith that I can recreate what I like, but I'm improving. As an aside, speaking of inspiration: I find both of your textual tattoos very inspiring. The Leonard Cohen quotation has always been a favorite. I am considering getting my first tattoo, after waffling for decades and being surrounded by people with cool tattoos. These might help point me in the right direction. The other reason I have found your channel inspiring is that you are so prolific and constant in your creation. It really gives me hope I can get into that state myself. I look forward to seeing where you go with it!

Thank you for sharing your inspirations, I'm a huge fan of Margaret Howell.Your list have quickly been stared in my favourites to check out. I think we have similar asethetic and aspiration in style. You might like TOAST a UK based company.

You might like the Pansy Dress Pattern from Rosery Apparel. It’s an oversized dress that can be slipped over your head. She has a channel that is just full of inspiration.

Its a lovely sweater. I would buy it. Good job.

All so beautiful! Must feel so good to get all those WIPs done, I have so many I don't want to count! lol

The purple!!

I trace my patterns too, but not onto paper: I use horticultural fleece, which is a non-woven fabric which is tear-resistant and robust enough to withstand lots of pins if you use them.

I just started knitting this year and loving how easy it is to take with me wherever I go. Lots of inspiration here. Thanks for sharing.

Perfect fit. Well done.

They look great on you.

Great pants. They came out amazing! Good job!

That tracing paper tip is genius! Thank you!

Great job! Your pants look fabulous. I too trace all my patterns as I almost always need to adjust them. Thanks for the heads up with the tracing paper you use, I'll check it out. 😊

That looks a lot like my tracing set-up! 😁 The box that the paper came in serves a purpose, too --- it keeps my foot pedal from sliding back to the wall 😆 Those are spectacular pants! They are similar to the ChiTown Chinos, (facing and front pockets) but have a much higher waist. I will have to save that pattern number 😉 Great pants!

I love your channel and your knits! I’m getting a lot of yarn recs. How is the Fisherman’s Wool after blocking? I’ve thought of using it for a slipover but find it prickly in the skein.

Great job! I recently did a pattern haul and, although I did include two pairs of pants for work, I didn’t realize I still wanted casual, everyday pants. So, you inspired me to look again with this field pants alternative. The OZMA colors didn’t really hit me until I viewed the dark wash variant. Exactly what I want. I found Butterick patterns 6946 and 6984 (also loving the camp shirt), and my son donated his old kikwear jeans, so I’m right there with you on the upcycle front. Thank you.

I'm so glad you're happy with the result because they look terrific on you!

They look awesome! And great with the navy shirt. Fab!!

Reminds me of the Blackbird Fabrics Taylor Trousers sewing pattern!
