Belladonna Deluxe Bespoke Box and all my fabric deliveries for the past few weeks

[@SewMyTime]

Beautiful, beautiful fabric in your bespoke box. Can’t wait to see that made up. Glad you are settling in and I am sure you will be sewing soon. When you said you could lie down and cry but that wouldn’t get anything done it took me right back to when I moved last year!! It does get better- honestly and buying loads of fabric does help 😅😅. I still haven’t made up all I bought in that period!!😮. Thank you for sharing. Happy Sewing😊. Lynne

@@SewMyTime Tahnks Lynne, that makes me feel better someone else was going to lie on the floor and cry. I got a lot done today, washed, dried and labeled all my fabric except for the denim, I need to buy a bottle of coke for that wash. I have chosen many patterns to match up with the fabric so lots of sewing ahead of me, I think I will make up the Belladonna fabric after I finish the Woodland retreat outfit, just waiting on delivery of the elastic for that, no shops here of course, so I have to get used to online and waiting. Have a great sewing week, Deb 🪡🧵💕

My goodness Deb, you will be busy sewing that lovely fabric. And, you have achieved remarkable organisation in a short time. Looking forward to seeing your new garments. And how lovely is the voucher! Best wishes Anne

Can't wait to see your Liesl+co cardi. I really like her Camp shirt pattern and want to try some of her other patterns, I'm thinking I'll start with the Weekend Getaway blouse.

[@dbdesignsandsewingaustrali5668]

Hi Laura, I cannot find that I have ever used a Liesl & co pattern before but I have used the Oliver & S patterns for my grandchildren and I think it is the same company, one for adults and one for kids. The Weekend Blouse looks lovely, nice and easy pull over the head, I like the way you can use a contrast fabric in the centre front, it makes it more interesting, have a great sewing week, Deb 🪡🧵💕

Great fabric haul. I agree Kristin’s Ponte is superb quality and soft and lovely to wear. That bespoke box fabric is absolutely gorgeous and l had already seen Kristin’s dress. Look forward to seeing what you make with it. Hope you are settling into your new abode. It’s always nice once everything is unpacked. What a lovely gift from one of your viewers.

[@molly_sewsmolly_sews8477]

I always enjoy your seeing your fabric choices. Moving house is totally exhausting, some sewing will make you feel better I'm sure! By the way, the leather and lace in the box is a reference to the beautiful Stevie Nicks and Don Henley song "Leather and Lace". I did laugh when you spoke about the nuns cutting your leather necklaces. Such times.............

[@dbdesignsandsewingaustrali5668]

Hi Deb congrats on moving into new house! Im wondering if you can recommend a shorts pattern for children? My grandaughter 7 yr old needs some little stretch fabric shorts for under skirts etc. Im not a stretch fabric lover or sewer usually but i thought you might know of something 😊

[@dbdesignsandsewingaustrali5668]

@@kaarenmatthewson8241 Thanks Kaaren, we are slowly getting there. I use the Solberry knit shorts for children from Sinclair Patterns, I have only made a boys pair and a girls pair, I made smaller size for my granddaughter so she could wear them under a school dress, she does cartwheels all the time so you can see her undies 😂. I also use the Wicked Undies pattern with the band leg as they don’t gape, better for the cart wheeler, I hope this helps, have a great sewing week, Deb 🪡🧵💕

Hi Deb, glad the move went well, I'm still looking for stuff and I moved last November 😢. Measuring tapes where to hang, I bought from mitre 10 some hooks that are used to hang hanging baskets up, kinda look like a long s shape, I noticed behind you, that you have a pole holding yr curtain as i have in my new sewing room. I've used them for measuring tapes and also the pattern shapes rulers that also have a hole in them, very cheap fix for a temporary home, I do have the benifit of quite a long overhang on the side, but just a thought. Understand what you mean want to lay on the floor and cry, glad yr past that now 😂 enjoy yr lovely fabrics and sewing, vlog wasn't to long , I had my cuppa and enjoyed your company, regards Diana from NZ 🎉❤🎉🐸🐸

[@dbdesignsandsewingaustrali5668]

@@dianapower-qo8gy Hi Diana, that’s a great idea to use the end of the curtain rod for hanging, I still have stuff everywhere and it’s difficult to get used to a new layout, but I have started to sew, so that always makes me feel better. I still have many boxes of photos that I need to put on the wall, I jaunt need to work out the layout for all the photos, many will go into the long wide hallway so that’s handy space. It has rained quite a bit in the last week so it slows down getting from from the garage to the house, but I’m making progress, have a great sewing week, Deb 🪡🧵💕

I've been waiting for your video. So happy to see you again. I hope your getting settled in your new home. That fabric is stunning. I was going to get this box but it was a few dollars more than I realised, to be buying on one wage for now. Such a good box. I hope you get to sew this weekend considering it's perfect sewing weather 🌧😊❤
