Awww... little Patrick 💝...what a lovely thing to make matching clothes 😁. Gorgeous double gauze and it will look amazing in that dress 👌. The wrap dress looks fab too and like you say, perfect for the star denim. I've made quite a bit for my Great nephew and Nieces this year...dresses for the girls and jogging bottoms and hoodie for the boy 👍 😁....enjoy your making Suzie 💕🎄😘

[@Threadquarters]

Thanks Sally. Still waiting on the double gauze fabric to arrive...hope I get it before Christmas!! Perhaps it will be a NYE dress, lol. Aw, sounds like you have been sewing up a storm for family - lucky them!

[@susiekaiser1]

Please put the pouch into the Wee Little Boy’s hoodie! Little boys need many pockets to stash their secret toys into! You are a wonderful mommy! I enjoyed seeing your plans!

[@Threadquarters]

Lol very true! The pocket piece is actually a lot smaller than I thought so I recon I have enough fabric for it, yay!

[@brendakinsey8353]

Cut out the shape of the shark using the shark print. Fun. Appliqué to nave my top.

[@Threadquarters]

Aw great idea, thanks!

[@lynneozzyblackbeard]

I think that French Poetry dress is pronounced play-ah-dees (it's a star constellation). Whatever it's called, it's flipping lovely, and I might have to make it too!!!! Good luck with all your plans! Lynne x

[@Threadquarters]

LOL I was wellllllll out with my pronunciation wasn't I? Ha ha, shows how much I (don't) know. Thanks Lynne xx

[@deanalovessewn6117]

Hi Susie!! Wonderful vlog.. Gorgeous Christmas Tree 🎄.. Your little boy is gonna love his shark fabric.. You really need to put a pocket on hoodie.. Tiger outfit sounds awesome.. Love Patrick the teddy bear 🧸.. Your enthusiasm to ‘winging it’ making him jersey bottoms.. Love the fabric for the French Poetry dress.. Starry denim would look fabulous in the Adeline dress.. Maybe for 2021 you could work on your ‘follow through’ to your awesome just of making plans.. Can’t wait to see what you do get to make done.... 💜💜💜🧵🧵🧵

[@Threadquarters]

Thanks Deana! Lol, yes I guess I could...but I've been this way for 40 years so I don't see it changing anytime soon! A more sensible approach might be to work on planning more realistically! lol

[@deebuettner8017]

Looking forward to seeing your makes!

[@Threadquarters]

Thank you!

[@kristenbradley5737]

Great plans. Good luck with getting them all sewn up! x

[@Threadquarters]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@annettecowburn1096]

Wonderful fabrics and cant wait to see them made up.

[@Threadquarters]

Thank you! 😊

[@jennetthamilton7942]

When my kids were little they really never paid any attention to what I was sewing. So quite often I would be making gifts for them and they never noticed. I spent so many Christmas Eves sewing doll and stuffed toys clothes for kids. When my son was 3 all he wanted for Christmas was a sweatshirt for his Garfield. Of course Garfield got a sweatshirt for Christmas that year,

[@Threadquarters]

Aw that is so sweet! Lucky wee Garfield, and your son! Lol yes they are quite oblivious aren't they? The shark fabric was drying in our kitchen the other day and I was worried my son would say something...but no, he didn't even notice it! lol

[@magsohara7908]

That denim dress will be just fabulous- looking forward to seeing it. Lovely pjs for your little boy too 🤓🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@Threadquarters]

Thanks so much 😊

[@sewsarahstitch]

In love with the starry night lightweight denim - had to order some for a shirt 💚

[@Threadquarters]

Sarah Donnison ahh thanks Sarah! Ooo a shirt I that denim will be gorgeous 😍

[@maureencullen1008]

loved the denim dress and your fabrics.

[@Threadquarters]

Thanks Maureen x

[@pinkpaulasews4929]

Great vlog and I love the 2 sparkly fabrics - wish I had the need for something sparkly in my life 🤪x

[@Threadquarters]

Thanks Paula! Lol, I absolutely don't have a need for sparkly things either, but I just want them anyway!

[@loriar1027]

If the t-shirt has raglan sleeves you could make them out of the shark fabric and make the body out of the navy blue.

[@Threadquarters]

Nice idea! If I have enough fabric left over I might do that, thanks!

[@sarahodonnell6957]

Wow love that denim. 🙌🏻💜💚💙

[@Threadquarters]

Thank you, isn't it beautiful?!

[@marybethpazdernik9783]

I've done hoods with ears for my grands and you can just add darts to sew the ears into. You do need a center seam in the hood and the darts come out of that seam. Also, use that lovely denim on the dress with pleats. Match made in heaven.

[@Threadquarters]

Oh thanks for the ear/hood tip!!

[@juliesew_me_something699]

Ha how appropriate is your choice of fabric for the dress ! Looking forward to seeing it xx

[@Threadquarters]

Lol yes, without me even realising! Meant to be!

[@maureencandlish8292]

Loving all your ideas and plans. I want to try to make a linden sweatshirt with appliqué star on the front copied off one you made recently. I ordered the double sided sweatshirting from you a couple of weeks ago. The fabric came beautifully packaged with quick delivery and it’s gorgeous. Thank you I will definitely order from you again. Hope you all have a lovely Christmas xx🎄

[@Threadquarters]

Maureen Candlish thank you so much Maureen! So glad you loved your fabric and delighted that I was able to inspire you with my star jumper! Hope you have a lovely Christmas too 🥰

[@kerrymcilwaine]

Hi sweetie, it’s PLY (as in 2ply) ED (as in the duck) EASE . Pleiades are a cluster of stars also called The Seven Sisters.... I only know this as my husband is a star gazer!

[@Threadquarters]

Thanks Kerry, you learn something new every day! x

[@angelastratton9851]

Love the double gauze fabric hopefully you will get some more in as I will be ordering. I received the burnt orange / irregular black lines fabric that I ordered. Your packaging is lovely and it’s really nice to get a little personalised message too. The fabric is a beautiful colour and I’m going to try and make the Halifax Hoodie - fingers crossed 😀. Thanks for all your hints and tips and looking forward to seeing your sewing makes in the future.

[@Threadquarters]

I received my invoice from the wholesalers so it looks like I definitely will be getting some of the black double gauze next week, yay! It will be up on the website as soon as it arrives, plus I'm getting in a beautiful dark teal, light grey and pale pink in it too! They will be up a little later once I get them photographed. Oh, delighted you loved the Irregular lines sweat shirting, and the packaging (love packing up orders!). A Halifax will be so cosy and lovely in that fabric! Good luck xxx

[@Threadquarters]

Hi Angela, just thought I would pop back on here to let you know that the gold speckled double gauzes are now all on my website if you fancy having a look. The new colours are beautiful! www.threadquarters.co.uk/product-category/fabric/cotton-woven/

[@angelastratton9851]

@@Threadquarters thanks Suzie. I’m going to try and go on at lunchtime and get some ordered. I saw your Instagram post last night. They look lovely.

[@emma__sews]

I'm in the middle of making a Pleiades 1 dress... Have you seen the Pleiades 2 dress? I had trouble deciding which to make... But am having to line the fabric as it was a bit see through... Its in viscose... I love that denim fabric and the pattern choice too. That's going on my list.... May have to see if you have any fabric left on the website now.... 🙄🙄🙄👀

[@Threadquarters]

Yes. Gosh yes its hard to choose between the two. Tbh, don't you think they should have all been the same pattern?!! I went for 1 because I liked the V neckline. Saw your order, thank you xxxx

[@loriannpayne4483]

Your Christmas Tree is Gorgeous! Larry and I are going to skip the tree this year due to recovery from his heart attack & bypass surgery. Instead, I’m making the Candy Lane House from www.ShellySmola.com. It’s a machine embroidery house with two stories and a little elevator made from fabric/stabilizer/embroidery! I think she has a mini KZbin video on it as well. My colors are different though. If I lived in Ireland, I’d be buying a lot of your fabric. I love it!

[@Threadquarters]

Thanks Loriann. Oh wow your Candy Lane House sounds amazing! How clever of you to be able to make that! And I'm so glad Larry is home with you for Christmas xxx

[@maureencullen1008]

Does the French pattern come with English instructions

[@Threadquarters]

Yes. x

[@narelleworks8448]

Think of the mystery! 😂
