I love the mini capsule idea. Love the fabric and pattern you got in your box.

[@The_Gemini_Stitcher]

Great if you’ve got any pattern preferences let me know xxx

[@dianemontavon5670]

@@The_Gemini_Stitcher I have a lot of 5oo4 patterns, which I don't think I've ever seen you use. I don't have a lot of the ones you have. I'm cheap refuse to pay a lot for a pattern. I always get mine on sale. If you pick something out that is a PDF I'll purchase if it's something I would wear. I would like to make Pianoforte by Love Notion's. It's not on sale now, so I wouldn't want you and others to pay that much for it.

[@cindywinkler4172]

Your nails and ring are so stunning

[@The_Gemini_Stitcher]

Thank you xxx

[@LesleyMcClelland]

Yes please Christine to the tutorials. Thank You very much.

[@The_Gemini_Stitcher]

@@LesleyMcClelland great let me know if you want any patterns adding xxx

[@brenholmes4894]

Wow, that fabric is amazing. I will have my new Brother Aveneer to get to grips with in 2025. I haven't got it yet, but hopefully in January and there will be a lot of learning involved; it's a big upgrade from my XV. I plan to join more virtual sewcials, there are no in-person sewcials close to me and I don't drive in the dark now, which is a bit limiting for travelling. I am interested in your Thursday series idea and would join in, if the chosen pattern suits me. Brilliant.

[@The_Gemini_Stitcher]

Good luck with the new machine so exciting! Sew Like Dotty has just set up some virtual sewing dates over on Instagram

[@denisk4521]

Yes please! 5 beginner friendly garments. Thank-you. ? All woven fabric? A knit fabric? Seasonal? Variations included per garment? e.g if a T-shirt could you include bias bound neckline vs facing

[@The_Gemini_Stitcher]

@@denisk4521 will be covering both knit and woven fabrics suitable for all seasons xxx

I have really enjoyed your vlogmas and all your vlogs throughout 2024....you put so much work into them and I find them so inspirational..thank you .......I think your Christmas day outfit looks stunning on you and I am interested in your ideas for the capsule wardrobe vlogs..

Thanks so much. I just love sharing with you all xxx

Both ideas are great :)

[@The_Gemini_Stitcher]

Thanks I’ll start planning xxx

[@tracyoconnor8045]

Hi Christine, happy new year to you. I would really love the tutorial videos. Would there be anyway you could talk about hacking sleeves or changing the look of a dolman type top? No worries if not, but I find the fit of the dolman great but any way I had tried to change the sleeve or hack it seemed to not work very well. Just an idea, if it suited you to do it. Love your channel. X

[@The_Gemini_Stitcher]

Hi Tracy, I’ll add your request to the list, but tbh it’s not something I’ve tried either and this will be aimed at beginners xxx

[@janetyoung3612]

Like both ideas esp a facebook group

[@The_Gemini_Stitcher]

Thanks I’ll start making some plans xxx

[@janebrettell1737]

I’m in the minority, because I don’t like sew alongs, I don’t hack patterns and I always fast forward when the Vloger starts talking about how to fit the patterns and sizing etc etc…. 😊

[@The_Gemini_Stitcher]

@@janebrettell1737 hi your obviously not a beginner and that’s fine these vlogs won’t be for you. I’ll still be doing my regular Monday vlogs so hope you’ll still join me for those xxx
