April Sewing Plans

[@jtea6863]

Love your ideas. That fabric with the scalloped edge will make a terrific blouse..enjoy the process.

[@deebuettner8017]

I like all 3 ideas, but I absolutely love the first fabric.

[@arleneburger6170]

My favorite is The New Look pattern and embroidery fabric. Fabric is so unique and beautiful.

[@ambrebrian9561]

I love the purple woth the lace That is beautiful!!!

[@traceysewsandreads7010]

Love the Norma blouse. Have a lovely holiday, somewhere nice and warm I hope xx

[@nancyhilborn885]

A bunny blouse sounds unexpected fun as a Marnie. Go for it! Have a relaxing rejuvenating holiday

[@lstockil]

Oooh great options! New Look with that lovely fabric. I actually have some of that same fabric from BTPD and it's been sitting waiting for ages as I wasn't sure what to do with it, but you have given me great inspiration, so thank you Michelle 🎉 So looking forward to seeing whichever blouse you make 😊 Lisa x 🇦🇺

[@maureenwilson9789]

New look frill sleeves every time ❤

[@melissapalmer7496]

All great options, but that fabric for the Norma blouse!!! 😍 obsessed!

[@bridgethope5375]

Love them all but the fabric for the New Look pattern is gorgeous. Have a fab holiday 😊

[@SewingBunny]

Thank you!! X

[@catherinepearce2594]

Lovely patterns Michelle. The first with the lacy detail will be lovely and the fibre mood one in that fabric will be gorgeous. I have always been in the not keen on the marnie camp but the plainer one without all the frills looks really nice. I love the bunny fabric but I am really drawn to the fibre mood pattern in that gorgeous fabric xx

[@SewingBunny]

Thanks so much 😊

[@Veemerica]

The Norma blouse has been on my list for a few years too. Never got around to making it but I certainly should.

[@jackief7849]

I like the new look in the purple fabric. xxxx

[@SewingBunny]

Thank you x

[@joycegans3239]

Beautiful choices! I love the lace fabric for the New Look pattern.

[@SewingBunny]

Thank you 😁

[@joyjackman6017]

It’s just got to be a bunny Marnie!! 🐾🐾

[@julieinnis2219]

Hi, I love watching your channel and think all of your blouse choices will look fabulous. I am very much drawn to the New Look blouse with the frill on the sleeve. The scalloped edge of the fabric chosen will give the blouse such a unique look - I think if it is just on the sleeve (due to fabric restraints) that will look perfectly fine. I am looking forward to seeing that sewn up. Happy sewing 🌸

[@SewingBunny]

Thank you so much!

[@madebykarenmarie]

Three good options here! I guess I'd go for the Norma blouse for spring, and then sewing up the Marnie for the autumn in stead. :) I'm thinking about taking part in the challenge, too. Can't wait to see what everybody is going to make.

[@ximenaarrivillaga9353]

my vote to the bunny fabric it would loke awesome unique

[@annettecowburn-sz8cq]

I think the new look fabric is lovely.

[@jennyturner6399]

All 3 fabric/blouse combinations are fabulous but my favourite is the purple/ new look. Obviously it’s your decision 😂. Thanks for sharing Michelle and have a lovely holiday. 💙🧶🌈🍓

[@SewingBunny]

Thanks Jenny xx

[@AvrilBrown-ld6gm]

I love all of your options but I just think the Norma blouse would be gorgeous and would really suit you

[@pambrown8378]

Like all the fabrics but like the 1st fabric and pattern the best.

[@tammymasson2343]

The first fabric you showed is so incredibly beautiful!!! The colors are just perfect! The scalloped edge is so unique to have found. Honestly, I can't wait to see you sew all three!! They're all going to be amazing! Iam participating in the challenge for the first time this year. I've made a blouse from the Big Four, and hope to make a second before the month is over. Have a fun vacation!

[@SewingBunny]

Oh great to hear you are taking part too 👍

[@annmargaretwatts6474]

The Norma blouse with the fabric you've chosen is my favourite.

[@SewingBunny]

Thanks 🩷

[@vernakg]

Personally, the second idea would be my pick

[@dianehess3706]

Have a lovely holiday! Thank you for sharing. Your friend Diane ❤

[@SewingBunny]

Thank you so much Diane x

[@karenbensdon4643]

The Norma in the floral is #1 and the Marni in the bunny fabric is #2 because I think you will get more wear out if a floral top.

[@EileenR11]

Hope you have a lovely holiday. I think all of those blouses look great and will be really good additions to your wardrobe. I would love to see you make the Norma first as that's the next top I plan to make and it would be great to see how you get on with it. 😊

[@InAgatasCottage]

Great plans, Michelle. I love the idea for a new look blouse. If you don't have enough fabric to do trim all around, maybe sleeves and front and back with normal hem?

[@SewingBunny]

Great idea!! 🩷

[@DevonThreadTales]

Aaahh your plans are lovely - and all of the fabrics are beautiful- especially the first lace detail one - the colours are gorgeous. Thanks so much for the mention - I was the same, just did not like the Marnie - but so glad I gave it a go as I love it now. Can’t wait to see which one you choose ❤❤❤

[@SewingBunny]

Thank you so much! I can’t wait to do the Marnie x

[@marywallace5248]

I’d make all 3, since you love them and have the patterns and fabrics! They are all gorgeous! Funny about the Marnie, I didn’t like it at first but I’ve just bought the pattern!

[@lindaboby6007]

Great vlog as always love the look of the Fibre Mood Norma blouse ❤

[@SewingBunny]

Thank you! 😊

[@CherylPollock-fl4zj]

Ooooo hard choice! You will have to eventually make them all 💞💞💞

[@gingerninja_sews]

Wow I love the lace detail fabric. Could you maybe add a similar lace to the hem? Fab choices for sewapril blouse ❤

[@dianehess3706]

Ok, so I love all the fabrics and the blouses that you chose to go with them. I just can’t pick! 😂. I would just start prattling on about each one and yep not going down that rabbit hole (no pun intended) 😅. Can’t wait to see which one you make. ❤

[@lynneozzyblackbeard]

I'm sure you've already made the decision by now, but I love the flowery fabric and the Nora blouse. Good luck with whatever you make! Lynne 🤩

[@SewingBunny]

Thank you so much! X

[@alisonwilliams3806]

I like all the fabrics & patterns, but my favourite was the first one you mentioned. Look forward to seeing them all made up. Have a great holiday.😊

[@sewsarahstyle]

yea! bunny marnie!! I need to make Marnie, I think its gorgeous

[@SewingBunny]

Haha yeah I think I have to make it 😂 🐰

[@laurajohnson2674]

Imho the 1st option is best. That fabric was made for that new look pattern, i think. But i like all of your ideas and am looking forward to seeing whatever you decide to do. Much love to u and the kitties from upstate New York❤❤❤

[@SewingBunny]

Thank you! 😊

[@susanaserio4184]

Norma blouse ❤❤❤❤

[@annsinclair6709]

WARNING! I made a toile of The Norma and glad I did. The top across the bust was fine but too snug at the hem. It seems I'm not the only one, as I checked later. If measuring the pattern indicates you'll have the same issue, you can either follow Lauren at Guthrie and Ghani and put a pleat in the back, or do as I did and just flared the pattern below the armhole. It is a beautiful pattern.

[@bernadettecummings8945]

Thanks for this tip. I have had the pattern for ages and need to make it up 👍

[@jeanette-sweet]

Hi michelle, all your choices of patterns and fabrics are lovely but if you don't have much time then the Norma blouse might not be the one. I certainly had a few fit issues and it took me 2 toiles to get it right and much longer than I anticipated.

[@susanneo8674]

I have fit issues as well with the Norma. Haven’t found the courage to adjust the pattern 😅 I found the back neck is to wide and the shoulders slide of. But overall it is a pretty pattern!

[@jeannettehirst5489]

Bunny and the Marnie 😊 X

[@SewingBunny]

🐰🩷

[@TheWillowtreeGreen]

The bunny marnie will be fab, all I would say is maybe consider a size smaller than you think you would want as it’s super oversize and I think most people size down quite a lot 😊

[@SewingBunny]

Good idea 👍 thank you x

[@hoppaheedahoe2581]

I am @hoppaheedahoe and I will post my make soon. I made the Anna Allen Anthea blouse with a white decorative cotton with silver lurex thread in the design. I made silver button holes! I love the blouse. I don’t wear blouses but now I need to make some pants and skirts to wear my blouse. I have a few more planned. I love all your choices, but the cat fabric is the best! I love cats too. We have a tortishell named Charlotte.

[@SewingBunny]

Sounds great! I have seen lots of the anthea blouse and it looks like a great pattern

[@sheelaghheugh9152]

Hope you are ok
