I have purchased this pattern but I’m a visual learner so I wish there was a sew along video to follow x

Lovely video, interesting facts. When counting the pdfs released since 2017 did you include your ebook patterns???? I'm wondering if the real number is even higher. Looking forward to more new exciting things next year and I must get round to making a Penny dress!!!!!

You’ve created something amazing that has connected so many in the sewing world. Thank you for consistently creating inspiring content! 💖

Aw, I think I’ve been a member since 2017!!! Looking forward to seeing what’s next 😊 also 98 patterns. Wow!!!

Aww goodbye PDF/VIP club. I remember when I first started sewing just living the PDF release days - I think it was a Wednesday? When you were doing top 5 I was shouting “penny penny penny” but I also guessed Georgie.

How do I access my free VIP pattern code. I just remembered, as I went to look over the patterns, that I haven't been able to access it this year, even though I'm paid up. And I can't seem to find the Facebook page for VIP any more either. I'm sad it isn't continuing, but I'm sure you will have other equally exciting things in the offing.

Boo. That’s sad. I’d only just joined this year and was looking forward to next year’s pattern and choosing my included freebie. I will mostly miss the early access video and facebook group though. :-(

I will miss the VIP club, but looking forward to whatever else you come up with!

😢 sorry to hear the end of VIP club it will be missed. Look forward to all the new things 2025 will bring xx

I think you are so right - time for something different - it’s been a blast. Looking forward to your next adventure-and new designs. Xx

Sad….to hear VIP Club is no more😞

This was such a lovely video to celebrate the successes of VIP/PDF Club! Looking forward to whatever 2025 will bring x

Some great suggestions here! This year I'm making a pair of pyjamas for my boyfriend as part of his Christmas gift (which I really should get onto soon....) One thing I would give a shout out to is the Makeup Bag patterns. I've made those for friends and relatives as birthday/Christmas gifts before and they've gone down really well. Plus you can add a little treat like a nice lip balm/hand cream/chocolate inside too! Also as a variation on Alma's neck warmer, you can make hand warmers which work in the same way - I've made those for my dad to use when he goes to watch football and he loved them. They're a really good scrap buster project too. Lastly - have you got any plans to bring back any of your SOI fabrics? I was gutted to miss out on the last of the Esmeralda purple viscose in particular, but honestly they're all so lovely I'd love to see them back in stock at some point!

Very lovely suggestions! And you ladies are a gift to watch and listen to, so giggily and lovely, Merry Christmas to you all ❤️ I have made lots of things as gifts all my life, jersey hats are the latest, from cotton jersey remnants. And both of them to men actually. Toiletry bags and makeup bags has been popular as well, and potholders and fabric bread baskets. Scrunchies of course! For my grandkids I have made all sorts of clothes and also bumbags. It’s fun and always well received!

This year I made a nightgown and a long sleeved tee for my Mom (I've used the patterns before for her so I know they will fit). I made a nightgown and a fleece robe for my daughter. A really great gift is a set of simple drawstring gift bags out of Christmas fabric (I buy it on clearance after the previous Christmas). We use them year after year instead of wrapping paper and others love them as a gift as well. Everyone also loves the microwave soup bowl cozies (you must use 100% cotton fabric, thread and batting for those).

During the pandemic I made a proper tailored winter coat for my son. I sent it to his workplace as he worked in wine store and was finishing late on Christmas Eve. He got on the tube with the coat still wrapped and parcelled up in a big box - to go home, fell asleep and then woke up in panic as he saw he was at his station. He jumped up and leapt off the tube and the box remained on the seat beside him and was never seen again! He tried lost property but it never turned up :-( So 3 weeks later I started on version 2! He loved it and still wears it now. This year I have made my daughter the Friday Pattern Co Saguaro set in duck egg linen for the summer!

The Totepack is a winner for me I’ve made lots and lots for family and friends - everyone loves it - oh and the card purse with a little clip on goes really well for finding inside the bag. Thanks again ladies for all the lovely ideas 😘

Hello ladies 👋🏻 we’re over here 😃

I made a Tote Pack for my daughter! I’m sure she’ll love it ❤

What pattern are the trousers the model is wearing for the shirt version? Im obsessed with them!

What a great final pattern 👩‍🎨 😍

Just bought the pattern! Love it.

Love it. A must buy ❤

Love the Beret and how you paired it with your outfit! 🤩 What are you two wearing? Love both outfits! 😊

What a fun pattern. 💙🧶🌈🍓

Wondering if the small is suitable for a child. Circumference measurements would be helpful if that’s not too much information. Love a beret great idea. Boiled wool would be lovely 😊. Just spotted the circumference measurements on patter details.

Great video, so helpful to compare all the shirt dress patterns. I have the Penny dress but haven’t made it, maybe I’ll make one for next summer. Please can you do a video like this for your wrap dresses, I want to make a wrap dress and don’t know which pattern to choose.

I loved this vlog…totally inspiring .. I want to make all of them 😂 I also really love the vibrancy of your team interaction….it’s infectious. Thank you for cheering up my day.😊

Loved this - however, I am puzzled by the dress the lady on the left of the screen. Is it supposed to be shorter on the Right Hand side of the dress, is that what they call an asimetric (I'm sure that is not spelt right!) hem, one side shorter than the other? Sorry to be negative, all 3 dresses look fabulous. Thanks for sharing x x x

I loooove shirt dresses so much so that I have quite a few. All SOI ones except for a New Look dress. I have 3 Bonnies (2 with long sleeves), 1 Penny, 1 Dana and 2 Kates (one with long sleeves). I really like all of your ones but Jemima's dress is my favourite one 😊

Love them all. The Peter Pan collar on bonnie is very feminine

Ok now I’m excited to try Alex and then a long sleeve Nicole! ❤

Viola or vintage shirt dress. I have made them all apart from Nicole and Kitty, have the patterns all printed though. Love a shirt dress.

I loved this run down! I need a quick "win" so I've put Florence on my list. I'm thinking a nice warm flannel...I'll need to line the skirt...

Thanks team! Really enjoyed that and I think Nicole is possibly my favourite although I’ve made the vintage shirt dress and love that one too. I think you should maybe do more of these ‘category’ videos. It’s great to compare the details of similar patterns and it’s such a useful and visual way to compare them. Diana

Thank you once again ladies thoroughly enjoy watching and listening to your conversations moments - I’m thinking a Kate dress I’ve had the pattern since it came out but not made yet 😘

Thank you so much for this video! I am planning to make a classic shirt dress for our summer in South Africa and had been searching the internet earlier today for a pattern. No guesses for the one I’ve just ordered 😂 The Nicole dress of course! I especially love the different skirt options, short or long sleeve and the classic shirt collar ❤

Damm!! Now I need a Nicole in my wardrobe ❤

Nicole is definitely my winner I've made several including in needlecord for winter.

Great comparison! Which of these patterns are available in extended sizing?

The Kate Dress is my favourite. ❤❤❤

I love the horse blouse.

where is part 2 for the sleeves, been looking everywhere??

Hi, I loved this tutorial. I've managed to make the skirt but at one point when you mentioned section A & B of the waistband, I was confused as I was looking at my pattern pieces and thought, that's not what I've got but then I realised you weren't talking about the actual pattern piece as a reference, it was written on them. Phew. I am really happy with my skirt and I will definitely be making more. xx

Lovely dresses and love the inverted pleat. Did you make toiles for the bodice or just go for it?

Love this. Looks like a very versatile pattern. Just a question, how would it look in a midi length? I don't think I'd wear it this length. Thanks ladies. All looking gorgeous 🎉🎉🎉

Love the dresses. I’m not sure whether it’s the way it’s tied but Alma’s is longer at her left and so looks asymmetrical?

That would make a great pregnancy dress ❤

Hi, sorry to mention, the dress pattern is very pretty and the choice for sleeve is highly appreciated but, was there an increase in the price of SOI patterns?

Love it❤
