I'd love to see your future unboxings - it's lovely to see what fabrics are out there - and, if I'm honest, I love seeing people's reactions to the contents 😄

[@lovesredsews]

Thank you! I will do a surprise one next time where I haven’t opened it prior to the video 😀

Love your Olya shirt and that orange gingham fabric 😍😍😍

[@lovesredsews]

Thanks so much 😀

Hi Claire your channel popped up and I am so glad it did ❤ I am only 5”2” so it is great to see your makes. All your makes are lovely and your new fabrics are gorgeous.. new subscribers 🎉🥳

[@lovesredsews]

Oh yay, thank you so much. I hope you enjoy my content 😀

[@AvrilBrown-ld6gm]

The daisy blouse is gorgeous! I think the pleat at the back is called a box pleat - I think you've sewed it beautifully 🙂

[@lovesredsews]

Oh yes, that’s it. Thank you 🤩

I cannot wait to see the Wren blouse from Chalk & Notch with this amazing gingham fabric 😮❤😮 its going to be stunning!

[@lovesredsews]

Thank you 🤩

[@petrinaeve3547]

Thanks for this week's instalment 😊 will miss it next week! I feel exactly the same way re fabric buying so you are not alone, I have purchased so many the last couple of weeks! So much fabric..so little time😂. I love the wren blouse, have made a short and long sleeve version xx

[@lovesredsews]

Thanks so much Petrina. I will be back before you know it 🤩 How did you find the sizing on the Wren, was it true to size or did you have to size up/down? xx

[@petrinaeve3547]

Hi. I sat in the sizing for size 14 A/B cup .I like the fit but is roomy . I find myself holding the front of blouse when I lean forward so could have possibly gone down a size. Liked how the sleeve was constructed. Never done that before !

[@lovesredsews]

@@petrinaeve3547 thanks for the info, that’s good to know ☺️

[@angelalysandrou4830]

Love your blouse, this pattern looks very interesting. I’m the same as you, I can’t stop buying at the moment, I need to put myself on a fabric ban 🤷‍♀️😂

[@lovesredsews]

Haha, it’s terrible isn’t it?! I think it’s because all the new season fabrics keep going online. I might have to mute some shops again on instagram 😆

[@JanetteTaylor-q8x]

So many beautiful fabrics, I can’t wait to see your completed makes. I’m very interested to see what you think about the Thea trousers. Have a lovely trip away. ❤❤

[@lovesredsews]

Thank you so much 😀

Love your sister mintaka fabric. It reminds me of the Lady McElroy mountain scene fabric, I think it would make a lovely pair of Sofia or Saguaro pants. You probably have enough fabric to make a matching top or bag too. I really like what you did with the SHJ poly fabric, it looks lovely

[@lovesredsews]

Thanks Julie, some great suggestions 😀

[@judithfletcher287]

Beautiful fabrics, looking forward to seeing the Thea trousers and the lovely floral print from Bornella fabrics together. The gingham is lovely, I bought a very similar one in orange/beige from Pigeon wishes at the Stitch Festival, orange must be the in colour this year!

[@lovesredsews]

Thank you, have you made anything with your gingham yet? Do you have plans?

[@judithfletcher287]

@@lovesredsews not yet, just washed it today. Mine is 100% linen searsucker and quite structured, not sure what will work best, I was looking at the Atelier Scammit Diapason blouse and Tianascloset Salma top.

[@lovesredsews]

@@judithfletcher287 good luck with whatever you decide on. Both options sound lovely 🥰

[@whatbecsews]

I’m loving your company whilst sewing on a Sunday! Lovely fabrics! Looking forward to seeing your collab make and Thea’s, I have them too to start working on and my sizing puts me in a 7, I am bigger than you 🙈

[@lovesredsews]

Awww, thanks so much Becki 🫶 I’m about to start my Thea’s but i am a little nervous about the sizing, so let’s see how it goes. Gawd, why is sizing so difficult to judge 🤪 Good luck with yours x

[@SewLetsSparkleWithSam]

Lovely vlog Can’t wait to see your finished outfit! Do I need the Thea pattern? ❤

[@lovesredsews]

Haha, yes you probably do Sam 😂

[@lizlisle7361]

I'm about to make a start on the Hinterland dress by Sew Liberated. I bought some chambray from Legend Textiles for it. So what's holding me up? Cut or trace! I got the pattern printed A0 and I have the download options to print at home so why hesitate? My size doesn't fluctuate much and, like you Claire, I hate tracing but I can't seem to put the scissors into the paper!

[@lovesredsews]

Oh I know that feeling. Try not to overthink it & just go for it. You’ll be happy once it’s all cut out & you can start sewing 😀

[@clairerosey9921]

Hi, only just started watching todays Vlog but wanted to let you know before I forget that your channel name is coming up as Claire Clark and not Loves Red Sews… just thought it may stop people finding you in the search. … now back to the vlog 👋

[@lovesredsews]

Thank you so much! I have just amended it 🤩
