At 2:00 there is the most beautiful rose-patterned fabric on your right and I want you to run back NOW and make a beautiful romantic rose 🌹 dress immediately 😭 I literally had to pause the video to admire it!

[@RoseryApparel]

Walked straight past that one! It was upholstery fabric. Spotlight have so many good prints at the moment 😍

[@jacquelinek5036]

@@RoseryApparel I've made totes and purses from upholstery fabric. A statement accessory? It's worth considering.

[@mnoeliarc]

You always seem to find the most beautiful fabrics. With regards to the coat fabric I think the pink was absolutely the right choice as it really suits your complexion 😊

[@anitajonsson4379]

Lovely fabrics, every single one. I was delighted.that you chose the pink fabric for your coat. I know the lighting might not produce color true to what it is in person, but the green was such a light color that it didn't even look green and seemed to wash your facial colour out. Whereas, the pink looked good on it's own and beautiful up against your face. I am sure your new coat will look gorgeous. I am excited to see.what you sew with the material you are keeping for your own. I know the designs you choose will be perfect for the material and suit your style. Thank you Janelle for another enjoyable adventure. You have impeccable taste and I am always surprised by the lovely fabrics you find at such attractive prices. 💖

[@RoseryApparel]

Thanks so much Anita! Yes the green colour was a lot nicer in person but the pink was definitely the right choice 😍

[@davidhutchison3343]

As a sewist myself, I love going shopping at Spotlight with the wife. However, when she has the same problem that you had, and can't decide between two fabrics, I help by saying--- "get both" ----- I don't think I am a good influence for her.

[@RoseryApparel]

This is the best 🧡 I love that you can go fabric shopping together! Matt tried sewing for a bit a while ago and this makes me want to encourage him to get back into it!

Get the green as well.. Life's too short! Both are gorgeous. xx

I loved them all. I'm so glad you went with the pink coat fabric too! I liked the green but that pink is divine!!!

You've really helped to inspire me to use thrifted materials for sewing! I just made my first dress from a thrifted vintage sheet 🙂

[@RoseryApparel]

Love hearing this! Thrifted fabrics are the best 🧡

I'm plus size and found a black/white linen tablecloth which I have just made into a pinafore. Good quailty is always worthwhile, regardless of its original purpose. And Bluebell patterns! A treaure in itself!

[@RoseryApparel]

I agree 100%! 😄

[@stephanieloffler8566]

Hi Janelle, thanks for taking us with you. Always love to see your finds. Thanks to you I always check out the "thrift stores" for fabric - more often than I used to. (the system is the same like the opp shops I guess like selling donated items, mainly long term umemployed are working there to get back to the first working market. Actual second hand stores here are quite expensive) Also the first time I heard "my husband Matt" - so happy to hear that and also that he joined/helped filming without you forcing him 😉 Really liked the shots/sequences he made! 👏 Regards from Germany Stephanie

[@RoseryApparel]

Love hearing that Stephanie! Thanks so much for watching 🧡

[@patriciaconiglio6717]

Lovely fabrics. Can’t wait to see your sewing plans.

[@DumbRock666]

Hi Janelle, a video idea could be how you wash your thrifted fabric, if you have any particular tips for different types of fabric etc xo

[@hiimchuckiewannaplay]

I went charity shopping today too! I found *two* vintage patterns for 1 dollar! I'm cutting the pattern pieces (uncut vintage patterns, unreal!) while watching your new video - lovely surprise to come home to (:

[@RoseryApparel]

That’s sounds so nice, thanks for watching 🧡🧡

[@craftyandfabulous2956]

Pink looks fabulous on you!!

[@katinkasirena]

The pink was the right choice. It's more 'you' than the green one and will be easier to include into your wardrobe.

[@MichelleSMV]

So nice to see your fabric shopping and thrifting finds

[@Rhaifha]

I have a coat in that shade of pink and I wish the weather here allowed me to wear it more often. I bet you'll love your pink coat just as much!

[@RoseryApparel]

I can’t wait to make it! 😄

[@erikaebersondasilva9475]

I would go crazy at this fabric store! So many beautiful prints to choose...I loved all the fabrics, specially the plaid one, I would make a shorts with it!

[@smallfootprint2961]

Beautiful finds. Can hardly wait to see what you make of them.

[@marathorne6821]

You did right to go with the colour that moved you the most - that way you'll be all the more excited to make and wear the garment! I can totally see why you were so disappointed by that floral dress; the print was divine, but ... nylon? Yuk! 😱 I always love watching your fabric shopping trips, Janelle, thanks for sharing 🙏

[@annesullivan1171]

[@KnittingPatternista]

Yay. Love finding vintage knitting patterns in an Op shop or charity store. Great fabric finds too. Have you ever thought of printing your own fabric using vintage patterns in your own colours on the fabric of your choice? Happy knitting.

[@trishhubbard354]

Oh the blue feather and fan polo neck jumper I made 30+ years ago!

[@MarieClaude]

Pink was the right decision in my view. It compliments your hair and skin so well! Ankle length shacket? I hope so!

[@RoseryApparel]

Thank you! And yes, that’s exactly what I’m thinking 😍

[@backwardsreesa225]

Okay, hear me out. A reversible coat, one side green, one side pink! That would be soo amazing! I couldn't have decided on one colour

[@daithedaithe]

this is going to sound really weird but when you hold up the fabrics and slap it, for some reason the sound is super satisfying... :'D love your fabric haul videos!!

[@ishachayil820]

You always manage to get the most amazing fabric! Absolutely gorgeous

[@EmmaAppleBerry]

Would love to see a winter gloves tutorial!

[@kaydyanful]

Natural dyeing is so fun and satisfying! But read Rebecca Desnos book first, or watch Billynou’s KZbin! It has all of the info on pretreatment and ratios. So that your color actually lasts and doesn’t look unintentionally tie dye! 😂 I’ve worked so hard before on projects just to have the dye wash out or not be even!

[@thatssewrandom]

Black bean makes a pretty light blue and if you an an iron solution it darkens to a darker blue

[@RoseryApparel]

I would love to try that! Thanks for the tip x

[@carolyngrotaers4454]

The pink coloured fabric that you have selected for your new jacket sewing project, looks great up against your skin tone. I look forward to your next video as you discuss your next projects.😀 Have a fabulous week.

Cute fabric!!Cant wait to see the new pink coat!!!!

[@lianapalumbo8457]

I'm so glad you went with the pink. That shade will look amazing against your skin tone. In all honesty, I don't think knitting patterns ever really go out of style. Watching what people of all ages make is evidence of that 😊

[@infamoussphere7228]

A lot of what makes older patterns look "daggy" is colour and yarn choice! But everything's in fashion right now anyway so I don't think fashion is anywhere near as much of a concern as it used to be

[@sarahhogner3499]

I love all your fabric finds and the coat-fabric is just beautiful and the colour suits you really well! Good choice:) I have a love-hate-relationship to fabric shopping. I love to have beautiful fabric but the buying process is so hard for me as I have a problem with making decitions. I walk around all the fabrics for an hour and in the end, I don't buy anything😅 I buy fabrics online most of the time, but that also takes me several days to make the right choice:D Tell me I am not alone with this!😅

[@moyralouise7123]

I have paisley rayon from Spotlight in green, I love it 😊

[@michelle10261]

I love spotlight I live 2 and half hrs drive away from spotlight. I do patchwork and I always buying online .

[@saartjerietveld7386]

I am so curious about what you will make with these fabrics. maybe a nice idea to do another sewing planning video and maybe you can combine them. When I buy fabric myself, I secretly always have an idea for which piece of clothing it will be. Do you have this too?

[@RoseryApparel]

[@diosnailzzz1151]

Hi! I just found a video of yours where you made a button up dress. It was absolutely gorgeous!! I am very very very new to making dresses. I don't even have a sewing machine yet😅. I have a little bit of experience with a sewing machine, however. I have a question. It's a long one. Do you have a video where your show how to probably cut out the correct amount of fabric you need? In videos I've seen, I've watched the women use paper, which I believe are called pattern pieces and they're already in the correct shape and such, but I still don't understand how to get from getting my measurements to actually cutting out the correct measurements and shape on the fabric. Hopefully that made sense 😅 Thank you so much!

[@rachelboersma-plug9482]

The blue print rayon (?) crepe looks interesting, and I think the colour would be beautiful on you. Perhaps a little top for spring?

[@norma94]

Omg I'm in love with the pattern in 11:33 . Do you think you could scan it and make it available somehow or dm it.

[@kirstenbridge2881]

OMG I've been sitting on that pink from Spotlight.. hoping I got enough (think I got 3M) but bring on a project!!

[@claudiavisan7881]

I love the op shop concept you guys have! I found a similar concept in Denmark and loved it as well! Second hand stores in my region are very pricey :( Also, you should try making a reversible dress with that vintage fabric :D

[@infamoussphere7228]

Unfortunately natural dyeing cellulose (ie cotton) fibres is...a bit annoying. You can try it but you get a much better result with wool and other protein fibres, especially if you don't have access to a mordant. Unless you've got indigo to dye with, because indigo is very happy to stick to cellulose fibres. If you want a really excellent natural dye I think you would really like eucalyptus cinerea aka argyle apple aka silver dollar eucalyptus. It dyes wools these wonderful burnt orange colours, and you don't need a mordant at all. It did also dye the cotton bedsheet scrap I was containing the leaves in but I was less impressed by the dingy beige it came up with. Here in Canberra I was able to gather branches snapped off by cockatoos just around the corner from my house!

Yeah, that dusty pick was perfect. Honestly, the "green" didn't even look green to me. More like a very dull beige. Shame about that dress being nylon, I thought it looked really nice on you. I actually have a dress in an identical print (but a different silhouette). It's not vintage though. I bought it new in the 2000s.
