I think you would look fantastic in a jacket and mini skirt made from the furniture-weight fabric!

I think an a-line short skirt for that furnishing fabric would be fabulous.

Love, love the Persephone dress. Fabulous shape and no-one else would know that the neck is not finished. The white inside does not catch the eye at all. The Fleur dress looks gorgeous-I too was immediately drawn to the pattern pre Xmas but not buying at the moment so cannot wait to see yours made up. LOL at the image of you carrying a roll of furniture fabric - it is lovely though. Perhaps a jacket or coat? Yo have inspired me to make a Pearl cardigan. Thank you. Happy Sewing😊. Lynne

Thank you so much Lynne, the Persephone dress is pretty gorgeous as is the fabric but I don’t think they work well together. I’ve ordered more of that fabric and looking forward to making a minty green Persephone. I do agree, the furnishings fabric would look great as a jacket or maybe a straight/ pencil skirt The pearl was a lovely enjoyable sew, I hope you enjoy making yours and look forward to seeing it on your insta grid ♥️😍💕

Good Morning my gorgeous… thank you MIL for telling her to get on… I’m glad you took a break - last year you were a bit unwell last year 🥰 That Romper looks gorgeous… Hemming is overrated babe!! Dang that Chris for saying that… let me at him!!!!! You look STUNNING. A stunning Christmas tree please!! It’s gorgeous That blouse is stunning in that fabric babe….I wouldn’t worry about the fabric I think it’s made exactly right. Yes knit does have a grain babe. I think it’s cropped-ness is perfect. Oh my gosh I love that lap rug… was it crochet?? Sequins can be rough… I have a photo of Mr Christopher removing the sequins from the SA on a clients dress about 6 years ago… the other thing you can do is Hong Kong seams. I had a sequins boob tube when I was 11 my teacher Mrs Child’s gave me. Under my arms hurt as I danced my arse off at my ‘disco’ party I had that year. Double tap discount - love it! I need a VIP here to get discount fabrics 🤔😳🙄 You are too tiny to have a Christmas belly you dag! Stocking fillers for next year 🤣🤣🤣 Isn’t it funny… and ironing board vs an ironing board Oh except my advent calendar 😂 I would have loved Jazz and Wow one too. The only one. So I hear ya!! Looking at the romper you have again… it only MIGHT look like a tree cause it’s Christmas… next month no one would even think that!! Loved this vlog … thank you sew much xxxxx🥰🦩🥰🦩

Ah Stacey, I loved reading your commentary of my vlog 🤣🤣 I agree, I love the romper, it’s a treeemendously good fit on me 🤣🤣🤣 I can’t knock Chris for his comments, I ask him to be straight and give his honest opinions and he does. Most of the time he is very positive so I don’t really mind when he’s says ‘Nope, I’m not sure about that one” I think I’ll be vacuuming sequins until next Christmas. I left a Hansel and Gretel trail from the garden room, up the garden path, across the decking, through the front room, kitchen, hallways and bedroom. Those little silver sparkles are everywhere! 🤦🏻♀️🤪🤣 Home kong seams is exactly what I was thinking but most definitely not describing- my brain cells are in a sugar coma 🤷♀️🥰❤️🩷
