I've made the SOI Winona jumpsuit, love it! Came together really quickly and would be great as a playsuit or full length 😊

The panel set will look so striking, can’t wait to see it made up. The Sew Over jumpsuit look interesting. Thank you, great video.😊

Lovely fabrics, thanks for sharing. 🧶🌈🍓💙

Nice!

That dress looks like a sack!! Horrible

Great patterns and fabrics, thanks for sharing

Lovely new patterns. I’ve already made the Winona jumpsuit and love it

I loved hearing what new patterns have taken your fancy. I think you’ll look fabulous in all of them. Honestly, I can’t see myself in any of these, but I should never say never! Looking forward to seeing them in your gorgeous fabrics. 😘

Ooo the Rydal is right up my street. Thank you for showing X

Loving the plans Tamlyn ❤ bagged some of the modal jersey already and I’m swithering between the Rydal and sirocco jumpsuit. Hopefully I’ll have some fabric left over from either so I maybe get a tee out of it!

Thanks Tamlyn. The Rydal looks great. Have fun sewing them all up. Xx

Oh those panels are perfection 👌👌

Oooo that fabric on your form 😍

xXX 👍👍👍

Would love to by a Serious Readers HD Gemini floor lamp - unfortunately it is not on their website. If you can send me a link or details of that particular lamp I would be very interested. Thanks.

Great new patterns and lovely fabrics! The panel fabric is stunning and will be fun to play with pattern placement. The Rydal jumpsuit will look gorgeous in the back modal jersey. Looking forward to seeing your makes. Happy sewing, Tamlyn!

My favourite is the Rydal jumpsuit in the plain black. It will be stunning 🤩🤩

Tamlyn, that panel fabric is so vibrant. I’m looking forward to seeing your makes with it.

Love your fabric choices. Can’t believe you copied me for the Rydal 🤪😜😂

Don’t know how I missed this vlog. The dress really looks fabulous on you. I’m with you on gathering - I hate it with a passion! 😂💕

Tamlyn the dress is beautiful on you !

Since you have some extra room in the top, maybe try it with a long sleeve t shirt underneath in black or pink? That would be very cute for fall

The dress looks beautiful on you!!

Where can you get the Calvin pattern?

I had bought the metal turner and could not get it to work and in the end used a glass straw and a wooden meat skewer, necessity is the mother of invention as they say.

I think this dress looks really great! The fabric is so pretty! I think it would work with a T-shirt under? Bit of a shame it’s tricky to fit the bodice though… but well done for persevering!!

The dress is beautiful on you. It isn't blaringly noticeable that it's a bit looser than what you would like it to be. I'd wear it for sure ❤

Definitely agree about the clips, I started using them for quilting and then for bag making, but they're brilliant for dressmaking too 😊

Maybe in a few years time you will feel like you can return to this pattern, you know, when life is slightly less busy. You never know 💜

Going rogue paid off. It's beautiful on you. We hope Taylor had the best birthday 🎊🎂🎁🎂🎊

I love this dress on you! Gorgeous!!!

💙🧶🌈🍓

I think it’s beautiful

Your button placket solution sounds absolutely normal to me!

Well done for getting your Shay sewn. Sometimes I sew the lining if it has it one and baste that up as a toile.Hope Taylor has a fab birthday!

Very pretty make, good color and style for you. We all go rogue, though don't admit it. Good job!

It’s gorgeous and yes I have done rouge things 🤦‍♀️ but sometimes it works out but some I made a pigs ear of it 😂

Great vlog as always love the dress and the pattern. If you want to sell the pattern on I would be interested. I am a size 8 ❤❤❤

That looks beautiful. I have that fabric and that is a fantastic use for it. I made, what was supposed to be a wearable toile out of another SHJ fabric with just one tier for the skirt. I did an FBA and it was too large. I then made the proper version in a Fabric Godmother fabric. It is beautiful but the shoulders are too loose. I agree with you about not needing another dress like that in my wardrobe. It doesn't feel like a day dress to me. I wore it at a garden party.

This is a pattern I'm hugely inspired by, although I don't own a copy, as I draft my own patterns nowadays. To address the extra volume in the bodice, if you are happy to unpick it, you could adjust the front darts. Actually I think they're princess seams. They seem to sit pretty well in the right place over the apex. So I suggest you might take out, say, no more than half an inch on each of the front princess seams. You should also take out a similar amount from the back darts to maintain the balance between the front and the back. I also think the waist seam is a tad higher at the front than at the back. You might want to raise the waist from the side seams towards the centre back by about an inch? That's what I would do, anyway. It's too pretty to be dissatisfied with it... If you want to make any dress that fits snugly, toile the bodice, try it on inside out, pin any adjustments onto the toile, transfer the adjustments (if any) to the paper pattern, and then make the actual garment 😊 Yes, it takes a bit more time, but it will save disappointment with the finished garment 😊

I love this dress on you - the style is beautiful. It's fitted but voluminous -quite "feminine" without being too much. I would put a huge black sweater over it and thick black tights for the winter with boots and maybe a long sleeved thermal top underneath for additional warmth. You can take that strength of colour. You make a lot of lovely clothes and this is stunning. I find gathering an activity I associate with time and contemplation. If I rush it I hate it. I like to just divide the task up and take it a stage at a time while thinking about other things. It just has to be straight and even and hold fast but allow movement... so once you get into the zone it's quite therapeutic - you get a rhythm... I think I find collars most challenging.

That fabric is perfect for that dress! I tend to make my linings first. That way it’s kinda like making a muslin but it’s usable.

The dress looks super on you, well done.😊

Well making a toile takes like 30 mins. Get basic muslin, rotary cut it out. Sew it with random thread and long stitches so you can take it apart easily to fix the fit. I use basic beige muslin fabric and pilot pens so I just draw the changes needed on myself. It's always worth it to check the fit. I'm very curvy so it's necessary to make it fit. Don't rush it and do the fitting. It doesn't take that long.

Your dress is beautiful, I think taking the fabric from the front seam has helped bring the princess seams where they belong. It certainly does not look too big on you 👍👏

Absolutely love your version, that fabric is stunning, and I totally agree about fitting the bodice! This one was really awkward to see how the bodice was going to fit before it all came together, I definitely had issues with torso length! Love your solution for it though! Thank you again for collaborating with me Tamlyn ❤

Your version of the dress is stunning! You look amazing in it. That fabric is gorgeous 🙂

Gorgeous Tamlyn!! Well done on the rogue adjustments looked like they worked a treat. I tried gathering on my overlocker yesterday, it’s a game changer (but it was only for one of Alice’s dresses so maybe not much help for something with as many gathers as the Shay) xx

The dress looks lovely on you, the fabric colours really suits you and it would look great with a little tee-shirt underneath

Whilst the fit is looser than you prefer, you look lovely in your beautiful Shay dress. I’ve been sewing for many years and don’t make muslins. If I’m unsure of the fit of a garment, I will machine baste the seams and try it on inside out. Then I’ll use pins to make adjustments, mark the new seams and then baste/ try on again or if I’m confident, sew with regular stitch length. It’s a bit time consuming, but worth the effort for more involved projects. Happy sewing, Tamlyn and happy birthday to your little boy!
