A Samantha dress! Oh she’s going to look so cute in that! And as far as the mystery project, those colors scream Star Trek Medical/Science to me. But given that you’re a Star Wars gal, I’m probably way off.😂

Fantastic video. Very much admire your Dad's stained glass windows.

OMG, your daughter’s baby Regency dress in the background! It’s so tiny compared to her now! I’m liking how many projects you have to hop to. It kind of leaves you on a cliffhanger each time!

At a glance, the red print reads Christmassy. In a pop Mid-century way. It will probably look different scaled up to the size of a human, but in a close up, it's a little off putting. Especially compared to the other prints. Lovely as always!

Your hair is gorgeous

Cute hair! And I love that the blue wool skirt still makes you smile so much.

Love the hair!

Oh wow! You have been a busy bee!! Love your style and the way you approach your goals!

"Because the reason I don't wear it is it's polyester and it feels like I'm wearing a trash bag" is something I plan on stealing *and* an entire mood.

the whole pants odyssea shows me just why i don't buy clothes anymore :D and also why i don't do any adjustments on other peoples clothes :D it pains me just to watch you struggling with it ... i have to ask, was it all worth it?

I look forward to these every month! There goes my lunch hour! ❤

Steady progress! I do admire your whiteboard. I’m never that organized when it comes to long term sewing projects. 😂

I like the idea of giving yourself more options while keeping the total the same! I think it’s a helpful way to stave off a certain kind of creative procrastination!

So having checked my trusty dual temperature thermometer it was 20 outside first thing in the morning - sounds reasonable, it's been that outside during the night recently here in Ireland, however we're back to the usual summer rain today - going up to 30 by lunchtime. Again sounds reasonable, it's been reaching/exceeding those temperatures in Europe this year as well. Please give dual temperatures, saying 70 and 90 is meaningless to anyone not in the US.

Our spring is 2 weeks in February. Then it's summer, followed by 2nd summer followed by satan's buttcrack. The dress turned out beautifully, and I think the insert lace on the sleeves looks pretty.

You reminded me of Jolly Holiday Mary Poppins while you were out frolicking in that first location! Lovely as always!

love your calm yet funny personality ☺️ lovely outfit !! you look like a movie character 🥹

lovely outfit sorry about the heatwave, the hydrangea really complimented your look so well. Have a lovely day

Are those the Giant Hydrangeas?! So pretty! If course, you are very pretty too!!

Such a beautiful outfit!

I feel this video. My sewing seems to be large spans of nothing with whirlwinds of productivity. It’s definitely important that we all give ourselves a bit of grace, especially with things like full time jobs or raising two little people. ❤ Look forward to the next video!

A tip for recovery of such brittle papers. Increase the humidity in the room, allow time for the paper to hydrate from the air unfolding in stages. Use soft weights on flat areas allowing gravity and humidity to gradually open the deep folds. . If desired a humidifier in the room..... extreme methods > a fine mist spray into the air above the tissue. . Test methods on cheap tissue patterns. > some rubbing alcohol in the spray mist water. (I use this method) Or a few drops of glycerin in the spray mist water. (I have not yet tried this method , I think it entered my brain from a book binding video) . So far my > not extremely old < paper patterns have succumbed to humidity and alcohol water spray mist .

I USE MY TRAVEL KIT WHERE I CARRY.WHEN I GRAVEL N PUT SHOOMPOON TOOTH PAST N RUSH N OTHERS THINGS.BUT NOW I USE IT FOR MY ZDWING WHEN I TRAVEI OR GO TO CLASS WORKS GREAT LOVE THEM FOR ALL MY SEWING GERMS

Love the twirl and nice fabric pairing! I'd love to see a tutorial!

Since 2025 is going to be the year of vintage, 2026 can be the year of Cottagecore Historical Vibes and you can swoosh to your heart’s content! And I’d love to see a tutorial. 😊

I know you said "and then pin the ruffle later" but I was listening to this like a pod cast while washing dishes, and my brain heard "and then pin the Ruffle-ator". And that image is so delightful and I laughed so hard, I had to re-watch the last 1/3 of the video. Thank you. You are a delight!!

My favorite pair of pants right now are cinnamon color. Quite comfy, but I’m afraid they’re in the same situation as your blue wool skirt!

I love watching your monthly updates

I love your top!!

Well done for persevering with your yearly sewing plans. I am trying something similar with everyday makes. I have lots of beautiful special occasion dresses but need everyday clothing I can wear to work. It's not as exciting to sew as a nice dress but it's what my wardrobe needs. I can't wait to see the dresses you make.

Love the idea of just pockets for sewing tools much neater than stitching pincushions ,scissor holders etc directly on to lining. The homemade tape is genius ( why didn’t I think of that😂) 🎉❤

High waisted pants are awesome if you have a tummy. No more waist bands rolling under my belly. Actually once I realized this I bought granny panties too.

i admire your organisation and love the white board!!

Love the vlog style. Thank you for showing the struggles too. It comforts me that my struggles are normal in the sewing the process :) I have also had second dress sizing issues. I've made calculated adjustments second time around based on the fit of the first garmentand it hasnt worked. I dont know why. I suspect witchcraft. lol

I LOVE THE VOLG STYLE.

Thank you. I love your authentic housewife.

You look so thrilled and I love it!

I like your colour palette so far! You can do it girl! ❤😊 Subscribed ;)

“Split-side pocket placket pants”… that’s a mouthful! 😆 Love the comic book bag storage idea. I’d never considered those! Still digging the vlog style videos, too. You seem to be settling in to chatting to the camera very well!

Your skirt looks great on you. Very nice😊

Yep here until the end! 😂

Great tips - I knew a few and learnt some too. :-)

I wonder if you look at the waist height of your dress is it higher than your skirt? Often we’re a bit narrower higher up…

Great project with beautiful appliqué. Since the indoors lighting didn’t really show things clearly to me, the reveal video came as a stunning moment. My imagination really hadn’t done it justice!

I think what you were trying to get at was to cut the extra off the lining and so it could be sewn to the facing. You probably needed a break and a look at some modern bag linings. One of those times where you know something and you know you know something but your brain couldn't find it

Doing things the easy way? Pretty sure there’s some sewist law that means we have to make everything as complicated as possible. 😂 The vest looks AMAZING, BTW!

Looks great!

My granny used to make this ❤
