Simplicity celadon green blouse, wow. Frames your face perfectly, and evokes the 1910s and 1930s in the best way. Moreso than the 1970s, even. Home run. I'm going to have a harder look at patterns now. I admit I'd have walked right past that pattern on a store shelf based on the drawings, so I would've missed how fantastic the real thing is. Tencel blend fabric: I checked the site...go for the bamboo blue/white! It reminds me of another blue/white top you wore a long while ago and suited you so well. Quilted fabric for jacket: I agree with your choice of a water repellent fabric. A damp quilted cotton jacket would be the pits. Both sides of your fabric would work on you. If you already have a charcoal or camel colored jacket, why not just choose the opposite. I wouldn't worry about casual dirt, both sides can handle it. Coordinating with boot and bag colors is another way to nudge a tough choice. BTW: if you go with the charcoal, which has a nice cosmopolitan energy about it, you could choose an interesting contrast color for the piping. Neon green, to set you apart from the masses. Reflective tech fabric, to keep you safer in dark winter traffic. Magenta. Can't wait to see the finished product. I'm going to get that Core fabric dress pattern. I couldn't get excited about a T-shirt dress; this is just different enough to be worth it. Thanks for another inspiring edition. Keep sewing and showing good stuff.

I'm not even done watching this video and I already purchased that vintage Simplicity pattern. (It wasn't even in my size.) It is just so absolutely gorgeous that I HAD to have it.

I like the black dress the most. Thanks for sharing your projects. I plan on a black sheath dress in black ponte. Dress it up or down, it will be divine. I'm finishing up a striped cotton shirt today and maybe start the Co trousers tonight. I'm making mine out of heavy black stretch fabric. I plan on some easy knot tops and dresses. I have ideas for others but its best that I let the ideas gel in my head for a while.

Love your 1970s blouses/shirts! Especially the wrap tops. I just made (I say just made, as it sits on my dress form awaiting buttons, buttonholes and hem...) a 70s blouse pattern with tucks and a really-quite-modest-for-the-decade collar in a light blue chambray fabric. I'm not in a rush to finish it as I generally find drapier tops easier to wear, but I just really wanted to sew something in a nice stable cotton for a change. I'm also planning a pair of jeans and a wool coat by the end of the year. I mean, I doubt those are both happening, but we can dream. Good luck with your trouser and jacket plans!

Your vintage blouses are gorgeous! I love the purple floral and teal mountain prints the best. I recently downloaded the tie dress. Yours looks so amazing. You've inspired me to make that pattern up, and to get a black dress in my wardrobe! I noticed that when it's chilly, the item I reach for the most is a floral print flannel shirt that I made a few years ago, so I finally making another flannel shirt. This time is in a fine plaid print, but in my favorite colors of purple and teal. 😁

Love your videos - you share patterns I wouldn't come across otherwise and I really enjoy your presenting style. I’m in my 50s and remember going to Gordon Thoday with my mum as a child in the ‘70s. The shop in Norwich had fabric downstairs and the pattern room upstairs had rows of high tables and stools with huge catalogues of the pattern books that you could flip through before selecting the patterns (in retrospect perhaps everything seemed huge because I was a small child).

Such great pieces! The way you talk about sewing is really inspiring and practical, makes me want to up my game. At the moment I’m gift knitting the Musselburgh hat for my daughter, but I’ve also drawn the top pattern from Jenny Rushmore’s book Ahead of the curve and hope to cut the fabric tonight. I really want to learn to make clothes for my body type and adjust the patterns.

Love your videos and your makes look fabulous. I love the first blouse in particular. ❤ I also have the Coe trouser pattern that I got after hearing an episode of the sewing club podcast - although I’m making some pietra pants first as I’m not experienced with trousers yet. I’m trying to finish the whole 30 challenge before the end of the year. 🤞🧵

Really fun seeing your beautiful garments and getting ideas, too! I miss some of the U.S. fabric stores I grew up with here in Philadelphia - they just fell by the wayside as ready-to-wear got cheaper and fewer people sewed, but they were special places. And spring is coming closer every day!

Lovely to see another video from you, thank you! I am still afraid of sewing trousers with a fly front. But I adapted the StyleArc Bob pants to look like the Coe pants… accidentally. My first toile was too large, so I removed several inches from the front leg, but not the back. I like them. Sewing my third pair now!

Buying the pomegranate and koi versions of the linen tencel. Beautiful! I made the Forest and Thread Just my Luck Jeans but I am interested in your version of the Coe. I look forward to hearing how you make out. I am very interested in the Brise dress too. It too is on my list but will move up for this winter. My big winter project is the CC Phoebe jacket. Go big!
