April Makes

[@jackiesenich2622]

Michelle, I wanted to thank you for your videos. I'm an avid sewer and would watch your videos with my mom who had dementia. She couldn't tolerate anything on tv. When I would say "do you want to watch sewing bunny?" She would light up and say YES! She passed last night and I'm grateful for you! Keep recording we love you!

[@SewingBunny]

Hi Jackie! I’m so sorry for your loss it must be such a difficult time for you at the moment so I am sending you lots of love and hugs 💖 Wow I am so touched that your mum enjoyed watching my videos! It makes me so happy to know that both you and her enjoyed watching together 🥰 thank you ever so much for commenting and letting me know! xxx

[@vicki9298]

I'm so proud of you. You are becoming a great expert!! I feel so inspired by you. Thank you so very much for sharing all of your makes with us

[@SewingBunny]

Awww thank you 😊 it has been amazing actually documenting my makes on the vlogs and seeing all the garments I never thought I could make 🥰

[@Allycat3270]

Hello Darling. I am so pleased that you found my suggestion of the Butterick pattern for the dress pattern by AK Patterns that is no longer available helpful. I have been meaning to tell you that when I see you overlocking on your sew a longs you use the four spools of thread. When you are just making a seam neat you only need three spools and the one needle. You usually only use the four threads when you are making the whole garment on the overlocker. I have the same model overlocker as you do and only use the three spools when finishing. I do love your makes they are beautiful. Take care and love to Bentley and Misty xxx

[@SewingBunny]

Yes thank you for the suggestion, I got a few people saying they were sad they couldn’t get the AK patterns one so brilliant to give an alternative 💖 you know I have never changed my overlocker to 3 threads 😂 I think I am just a bit lazy, but I guess I should at least try it sometime 😁 Misty and Bentley say hello 🐈‍⬛ 🐈 😻 xx

[@sewlittletime]

Beautiful makes Michelle...you can see how proud you are of the Madeline skirt! It's beautifully sewn, so you should be! 🥰 Xx

[@MichelleSewsAgain]

Love all your makes - but that Madeline skirt is fabulous! The time invested was totally worth it :). I love how proud you are of it - that's so awesome!!!

[@SewingBunny]

Ahh thank you! I actually really enjoyed taking my time on it I found it quite relaxing even with all that top stitching 😂

[@sallystapleton4237]

Fabulous makes Michelle..you should be very proud of your lovely denim skirt your top stitching is awesome 🤩... take care xxx

[@SewingBunny]

Ahh thanks Sally! It’s so nerve wracking doing top stitching 😂 i was so pleased it worked out nicely xx

[@noelle8301]

What an adorable dress for your friend’s baby! 💕 also love the bunny top! The more I watched the video the more I was thinking I need that fabric! 😃

[@SewingBunny]

Aww thank you! I thought the little girls dress was so cute 🥰 children’s clothes are great as you can use all the super cute prints 💖

[@madebycathcraft]

Fab makes Michelle! Your 7116 is lovely and looks perfect for summer, fingers crossed we get some warmer weather soon, it is overdue! Thanks for the mention. The pansy dress you made for your friend's daughter is so cute, love that mouse fabric! x

[@SewingBunny]

Yes I’m getting a bit annoyed at the cold and the rain recently 😂 I want to wear my lovely dresses! Xx

[@madebycathcraft]

@@SewingBunny me too! 😫😆 xx

[@marieg2815]

I just made my first Galaxy tee and I love it. It really is straightforward to make and turns out so beautifully. I sat down to just read through the instructions after I cut it out, and ended up making it in about 2 hours. Already planning the next one.

[@SewingBunny]

That’s fabulous that you like the Galaxy too! It is such a nice top that is just a little different 😁 have fun making more xx

[@susankidd9963]

Love your makes especially the denim skirt , it doesn’t matter what I make and I have been sewing for over 50 years I always have to unpick something it might be small it might not be that small but hey ho its what makes it unique 😜xx

[@SewingBunny]

Absolutely! I’m always unlocking something 😂 glad it’s not just me x

[@NotesfromtheSewingRoom]

Great makes video 💖🧵. I love your Galaxy tee, it’s such a good pattern. Your Madeline skirt is beautiful too, the top stitching all looks great. Thanks for sharing xx

[@SewingBunny]

Yeah I have seen you are loving the Galaxy tee as well 😍 just such a brilliant little free pattern! Thanks so much for watching xx

[@margaretpenny819]

They are all lovely you are so clever.

[@SewingBunny]

[@DevonThreadTales]

Oh my goodness, you should be so proud of your madeline skirt, and all your garments. They're all so pretty, love the AK pattern dress too, isn't the SHJ fabric gorgeous 😍 x

[@SewingBunny]

Thanks Angela! Yeah super happy with the skirt 🥰

[@jacquieblacquiere5186]

Wonderful makes, Michelle. I quite understand why that skirt is your favourite, though. Awesome make. Be proud 😉

[@SewingBunny]

[@SewnontheTyne]

It’s lovely to see how proud you are of your Madeline skirt, and so you should be. It’s gorgeous ❤️

[@SewingBunny]

Thank you so much! I love the feeling of being really proud of a me made 😁 I get one every now and again where I step back and surprise even myself that I made it 😂 xx

[@kimwatts5750]

Hi Michele, Love your makes, love your t shirt, with the bunny’s on, I must have a go at making one🥰 I really like the skirt with the straps, it looks lovely on you💕 I made the Heidi dress you made with the zebras etc on, I was pleased it turned out quite well🙂 Thank you for sharing your makes, it gives me lots of inspiration❤️ Kimx

[@SewingBunny]

Ahh thank you! Yeah the Galaxy tee is a great pattern to give a go 👍 how fabulous that you made the Heidi day dress, I have another one planned hopefully at some point if the weather ever gets warm 😂 thank you so much for watching and commenting xx

[@melissamohammed2294]

Good to see tou again Michelle. Love your videoes. Such a heart warming person. I wish I could sew like this..

[@SewingBunny]

Ahh thank you that’s so sweet 🥰 thank you as always for watching xx

You are such a pleasure to watch Michelle, I absolutely love seeing all your makes. You are just such a lovely lady 😊

[@SewingBunny]

Aww you are so kind to say that 🥰 thank you so much for watching and I am so pleased that you enjoy xx 😘

[@quiltygal6981]

Gorgeous makes again this month. Love that denim skirt. Makes sense to have your sun dresses ready for the hot weather if you waited, being the UK, it could disapear before you've sewn them up.

[@SewingBunny]

Yeah the great British summer 🤣 after making all those dresses I feel like I need to sew lots of jumpers now haha! Xx

[@audreyh3809]

Love all your makes, but particularly the McCalls M7116 dress ❤️

[@SewingBunny]

Thank you so much 😊 x

[@sosewmad]

Love all the items, wow to the skirt too! You should be so proud. I'm just making a galaxy tee this week x

[@SewingBunny]

Ohh can’t wait to see your version 😁👍 XX

[@jacquelinemcgreevey]

You are such a hunny bunny! Your alias fits u well! Love seeing your makes and watching your sew alongs!

[@SewingBunny]

Ahh that is so sweet thank you 🥰 I am so pleased that you enjoy watching xx

[@ParanormalBabydoll]

You made me laugh and smile while watching this. I really hope you get lots of comments from people about your overall dress! You did a fantastic job and should definitely be proud to tell people that you made it. Love the little girl dress too - stunning! 💕

[@SewingBunny]

Ahh you are so sweet thank you! 😘 xx

[@joanneblair2087]

The Madeline skirt and top look so nice on you.

[@SewingBunny]

Thank you so much xx

[@marilynkelly315]

Love your skirt - very professional

[@SewingBunny]

Thank you so much x

[@sheelaghheugh9152]

Love you "fix" for the buttonhole. I love seeing a fix for mistakes - then I can forgive mine 😊

[@SewingBunny]

Thank you! Yeah we all make mistakes on garments and I just thought if it saves anyone else making the same mistake then job done 👍 xx

[@bluebird4594]

Oh my goodness I love that bunny fabric. 💕 Hopefully you will get a gentle breeze when you wear your denim skirts. 🙂

[@SewingBunny]

Yeah I love the bunny fabric 🐰 I was so pleased with the pop of colour on the skirt bottom 💙 x

[@marathorne6821]

I love all your April makes!

[@SewingBunny]

Thank you 😊 XX

[@Whistlewalk]

Lovely skirt and well done.

[@SewingBunny]

Thank you xx

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

Love em all Michelle! You are officially the bias binding queen 👸🏼 now 🥳🥳🥳

[@SewingBunny]

Haha! Who knew I would actually enjoy it 😂 I surprised myself a lot x

[@geetpetite6864]

Lush makes Michelle! 💜

[@SewingBunny]

Thanks Lucy xx

[@sew_april]

Great makes!! I love the galaxy shirt 🐰 I think I've only tried bias binding a few times. I'm not good either..but I'll keep trying too lol 😁

[@SewingBunny]

Thank you 🐰 yeah it took me a while to get to grips with bias binding, I still find it a bit of a fiddle but so pleased I kept at it and now I am not scared of it anymore 😂

[@sew_april]

@@SewingBunny I just bought a bias binding foot to try with my machine lol maybe it'll be easier with it? Lol

[@jennyturner6399]

Hi Michelle, lovely makes as always. I think I commented about your amazing skirt when you showed it off on Instagram because you should are justifiably proud of it. I was interested about the different sizes of your fat quarters, a true fat quarter is half a yard in length by half the width of 45inch fabric, however, most fabric shops in the UK will cut it 50 cms long by half the width of 112cms (45inches) fabric which is more or less the same size. I have noticed that some hobby shops sell fabric squares smaller than this but still call them fat quarters, it’s a question of reading the small print to find the actual dimensions. Sorry for the long comment 😂🌈🍓🧶

[@SewingBunny]

Haha I love your comments 😁 yeah the fat quarter thing is a bit puzzling 🤔 glad you like the skirt I do love swishing about in it 🥰 x

[@deniseblake6214]

If I’d made that skirt I’d wear it with a tee shirt with a logo on the front reading ‘I MADE THIS SKIRT MYSELF ⬇️’ 😁😁😁

[@SewingBunny]

Haha!! I love that idea 😂.......I may have to consider that 💖

[@MarieMadeThis]

Michelle I love the Galaxy Bunny tee!

[@SewingBunny]

Yay! I feel so cute in the tee 🐰 🥰

[@m1m5yp28]

Hi Michelle, When I have to knit a baby cardigan and they don’t want to know the sex, I knit it with buttonholes either side. Then when the baby is born I quickly sew the buttons over the wrong buttonholes. Works a treat and they’re none the wiser! So, you see it can be done on purpose!! But I love that skirt. Well done.Mims x

[@SewingBunny]

Ahh I love that idea! Such a good way of doing it 😁👍

[@belinda58sews29]

You are so hilarious in your description of "perhaps show a flash of the tape and catch someone's attention". As of yet, I'd still rather NOT have people comment on what I'm wearing because I am so far from perfect and fit is still sometimes a bit iffy in my case, but I can aspire to what you are describing for sure!

[@SewingBunny]

😂 yeah don’t get me wrong I still have a lot of makes where I don’t want people to look too closely! I really feel that doing all that bias binding has just upped by skill a little bit which feels so good 😊 xx

[@thesewingtrolleydolly7736]

Hi Michelle, nobody would have noticed your ‘booboo’. My TAL toile of my cuff top was something else. Instead of flipping the pattern piece, as directed in the instructions I cut them all in the same direction (not on the fold) so have 1 panel back to front on both sides creating a design feature! I will still wear it around the house.🤦🏾‍♀️🤣

[@SewingBunny]

We all make those sort of mistakes! Sometimes it’s just a case of oh well and move on 😂 at least it’s wearable xx

[@suebryant4237]

I absolutely love your blogs thank you for taking the time to do them, I just have to say the only thing that puts me off watching is the colour of the wall behind you, sorry for the criticism but I thought I should make you aware not for my sake but for yours, it’s so dazzling

[@SewingBunny]

Yeah I totally get that the wall is very bright and loud and not for everyone. I personally love the colour but understand your point. I don’t really have anywhere else to film but maybe I will ask everyone if they would like me to look at options for a backdrop of some kind. Thanks for watching and the feedback xx

Lovely makes Michelle. I did make the dress from your sew along and I shared it on Instagram for you to see but I’m not sure if it worked. My Instagram is shirl.scott_ I just the the dress with the sew Hayley Jane fabric. I have the green version and I think I’m going to make the myosotis dress when the pattern arrives. X

[@SewingBunny]

Hiya oh no I didn’t see it! I think maybe as you have a private account it didn’t notify me. I have sent you a follow request now 😁💖 xx
