I love the patchwork top and the idea of using up mismatched buttons is inspired as well! You are so creative and talented! I wish you would upload more videos but hey, I'll take what I can get.😊

[@Frugalisama]

Aw thank you so much for your kind comment, I'm a bit time poor at the moment but will get back to KZbin soon I hope 🤗

[@sewchilled22]

I enjoyed your vlog and love your makes 😊

[@Frugalisama]

Thanks so much 🤗

[@Sew_Over_50]

Top looks GORGEOUS!! It doesn't look hand made at all. In fact, it looks extremely close to the inspiration piece. Well done!

[@sarahodonnell6957]

Fantastic makes your quilt pillow case blouse is to die for. 🙌❤️💜💙💚

[@Frugalisama]

The blouse from the sari is so pretty and I love your use of the embroidery on the sew the look blouse.

Loved your blouse from your old pillow cases and duvet cover. Also the little dungarees and t-shirts for your grandchildren

The rainbow jumper for your new granddaughter is just so super cute Sam 🌈 You Vienne dress is lovely irl😻 and I just loved your blouse - well done in fitting in with all of the challenges - smart move! Thanks again for The Gathering, was a fab event ❤

[@funkyneeniestuff]

Beautiful makes! I especially love the "recreate the look" blouse.

[@Frugalisama]

Thank you 🤗

[@Silverene444]

You’ve given me an idea for McCalls M8312 dress, which came with issue 120 of Love Sewing mag. The bodice is a similar shape to your sari top, and I also have a sari in my cupboard that hasn’t been worn for ages 🤔💭💡😃✂️

[@seasidestitches615]

I’ve just been studying that pattern. May even have a go at it now, happy sewing, Susan x

[@Frugalisama]

It’ll look fab 👍

Another beautiful and inspiring vlog Sam, love all your makes and the thoughts behind them. Good to hear of other randomly drawn challenges, I’d better get cracking, lol, much sewing love, Susan

[@Frugalisama]

Thanks Susan, yes April it was a busy month for challenges but I like a deadline to work to 👍

Does the Size Me company include seam allowances? It's a lovely dress.
