Hi Sally. Nice video, as usual. That pink crinkle fabric is beautiful, but what can you use it for? It is so sheer! I can't wait to see what you do with it. I agree with you about the color of your Taika dress. How about a red or rust jumper over it, that way you can wear it, but it isn't against your face. I am sooo jealous that you have a fabric market. We don't have those here in California. I would be there every week, buying like a drunken sailor. Best wishes to you Sally. I so look forward to your vlogs.

[@SecretLifeOfASeamstress]

Thank you so much for watching it's so nice to hear you enjoy my videos :) I'm really not sure about the sheer fabric. I have a sheer blouse in a similar colour so maybe something like that but I'd have to be able to wear a vest under it x

[@bravelittlebuckaroo]

I love the way your tee-shirt dress looks styled with the boots and Ilford Jacket. It's lovely!

[@SecretLifeOfASeamstress]

Thanks so much I think it’ll be a cosy one for autumn x

[@anitawilliams4978]

Hi Sally - thanks for sharing your week. I would be very keen to see a vlog on how you do the Lyra / Safiya hack xx

[@SecretLifeOfASeamstress]

Thank you so much for watching. I'll have to think about how to do that vlog x

[@emma__sews]

Love your Pivoine blouse, I think you mentioned it in a video years ago and I bought it at the time but I've never made it 😢. I must as I ❤it. Also love the mash up jumpsuit. I'd love to make one with a Bettine top.

[@SecretLifeOfASeamstress]

Thank you! It’s not too difficult I’m sure you’d work it out if you’ve made a few things before 😊 A Bettine/Safiya would be lovely x

[@sharnagraham]

The true bias Nikko dress would work for your winter style. I do love a shacket and this linen one looks lovely!

[@SecretLifeOfASeamstress]

Yes I was thinking that the Nikko would work well I’d have to round the neck though I think x

[@sew_So_beautiful]

I love how you photograph everything. I really need to learn from you. You do photographs, I do snapshots. Its funny though, give me a scene, animal, etc. outside and I take amazing photographs, but still life is something I really have to work on.

[@SecretLifeOfASeamstress]

Aw thank you! I'm probably the opposite, love styling and taking photos like this but would love to be better at 'outside' photography x

[@susankidd9963]

Lovely video Sally you look so nice in everything wore.

[@SecretLifeOfASeamstress]

Ah thank you and thank you for watching xx

[@clairec20]

Great vlog Sally , a sew along for your jumpsuit would be good 💕

[@SecretLifeOfASeamstress]

Thank you for watching! I'll definitely have a think about how I can do that in the future x

[@paularoberts2129]

[@marygreen7225]

Such a lovely glimpse into your busy week Sally. Thank you for sharing. Your makes always look so beautiful.

[@SecretLifeOfASeamstress]

Ah thank you so much 😊 xx

[@nicolasammons3852]

I love your jumpsuit fabric too ❤ and the jumpsuit itself of course 😊

[@SecretLifeOfASeamstress]

Thank you so much Nicola :) xx

[@libbykilpatrick1578]

Sally I've just made the Tammy Handmade Naya T shirt into a similar dress to yours. It's a fantastic quick sew.

[@SecretLifeOfASeamstress]

Ooh lovely! A pattern I've not tried yet but I've seen lots of lovely versions x

[@maureencandlish8292]

Hi Sally, I enjoy all your podcasts and especially the ones showing what your week is like. You fit so much into a week. Love your style arc shackets they seem so useful. Your H and M black midi is lovely and I wondered if you have any more details on it as I would like to order one online but there seem to be 2 or 3 and wondered which one you bought especially since you say it’s nice in real life. Thank you x

[@SecretLifeOfASeamstress]

Thank you for watching, I'm glad you enjoy these kinds of videos :) Hmm, to be honest I'm not sure they'll have it anymore it was from their summer collection I think I got it in June. I've had a quick look on the website and it doesn't seem to be there but they do have a few other rib knit dresses more for winter. x

[@KellyC77]

Really enjoyed this, im a new subscriber to your channel and complete novice to sewing but hoping to learn

[@SecretLifeOfASeamstress]

Thank you so much for watching, I'm sure you'll love sewing just take it slow and enjoy the journey :) x

[@thebrumstitcher495]

I like the style of this vlog 😊. You have reminded me, (thanks) I have a t-shirt dress cut out somewhere, it might fit into my autumn wardrobe x

[@SecretLifeOfASeamstress]

Ah well I'm glad to have reminded you! Thank you for watching xx

[@joannewalker6728]
