Fabric Road Trip and fabric haul reveal

[@lynnelister7364]

Judi I would have bought everything in Lucky Fashions 😂 it’s a shame that Mill Creations weren’t welcoming they are missing a trick there. Love that you’ve got plans for all of your fabric 🥰

[@runningsewandsew]

Thank you lovely xx

[@bernadettebyrne3970]

Very productive little outing Judy. Love your vlogs

[@runningsewandsew]

Oh thank you lovely x

[@loriannpayne4483]

Ohooo - that is so cool that you got to go to the Mill where the GBSB is filmed! That cardigan fabric is awesome. Those fabric shops are wonderful too. So much sewing fun. Hope the trousers fit perfectly.

[@runningsewandsew]

Oh Loriann and when I was filmed the building with the studio ... I managed to forget to turn the camera on! one of the main reasons for going to Farsley!!! xx

[@IOSALive]

I really enjoyed this video, so I hit the like button!

[@runningsewandsew]

Oh thank you🥰

[@jenfavc]

The sparkly cream fabric is lovely Judi, there is a style arc pattern which is similar to your pattern, from memory it is The Fiona, it makes up really nicely.

[@runningsewandsew]

Ive check it out and I think I might be making a purchase! xx

[@debradollisson9551]

How I miss those beautiful fabrics shops. I live in semi rural Queensland, only have 2 large chains,so miss some of those beautiful unique fabrics . Beautiful choices of fabric and I don't think I would have had your restraint.💜💜

[@joannescantlebury744]

I’m in Queensland too and we really don’t have the choice and variety they do in the UK. I’d love to go on a buying holiday with no budget. I can dream. 😊😊

[@joannescantlebury744]

Thanks again for an enjoyable video. I’m going to attempt to start sewing a duster coat this weekend with some fabric from The Dahlia Sewciety. Cant walk the dog it’s been raining on and off for ages and more this weekend. Enjoy your sewing☺️☺️☺️

[@runningsewandsew]

Oh Debra, I was ultra determined to stay controlled xx

[@runningsewandsew]

Good luck Joanne, I really hope your sewing plans go well xx

[@ZeldaSews]

Hi judi. Beautiful fabric shops!

[@runningsewandsew]

Totally beautiful shops x

[@pollydolly9723]

Great self control Judi! Love that you got a cup of tea while shopping, how civilized 😊

[@runningsewandsew]

Yes the determination to stay focussed was hard and I only had a mini crack!!!! xx

[@juliesneap3809]

Love the cardigan and tulip fabric, can’t wait to see them made up Judy x

[@runningsewandsew]

Neither can I! The cardigan is an urgent make but the dress is on the list for the summer xx

[@KarenScott6]

How lovely, what a super day you had. I went to a craft show today with a purpose and a budget. I bought 3 pieces of fabric and used all my budget apart from a few pence. Then...... I spent another £10 on some very pretty pattern weights. They were on my nice to have list, so I do not think that I did too bad

[@runningsewandsew]

Well done you, it certainly works. Despite having a stash there are some gaps in my stash and its always the fabric i want to use next! xx

[@KarenScott6]

@@runningsewandsew isn't it just? Plain bottom weight fabric, not black or navy was my main aim. But then I bought a floral rib jersey on a whim because I thought it was beautiful (not used my lilac BTPD jersey yet!) and some cotton linen mix because I had never sewn with it! You have to try new fabric types - right 🤣

[@dawnwiltshaw7153]

Hi Judy what a lovely day you’ve had love all the fabrics you got especially the fabric for your cardigan can not wait to see them all done happy sewing Dawn xx

[@runningsewandsew]

I think I totally hit the jackpot with that fabric, which I spotted on the way to the loo!!!!! xxx

[@GailDulay]

Thank you for taking us on your shopping trip. So lovely to see your way of life there in the mother country. So different than going to Joanne's here. The creme bubble fabric for your cardigan is gorgeous & the tulips make me smile too. ❤

[@runningsewandsew]

Oh thank you lovely, yes the cardigan fabric is very special xx

[@Jan-iv7kh]

I love watching your videos. I finished a Nick's top today, another garment that doesn't fit or flatter, think it's about time to give up. 50 years ago when I was a slim teenager I made all my clothes, now I can't seem to succeed at a single item😪 I'll still watch all the sewing vlogs but with sadness because I can't sew successfully.....

[@runningsewandsew]

Oh please don't stop, may be make a simple top like the Donny Top from Friday Pattern Company or the Remy Raglan top by Sew House 7 - both more simple tops xx

[@Jan-iv7kh]

@@runningsewandsew thanks for your encouragement. I did make a Florence Boxy Tee from Size Me sewing last year that fitted, maybe I should just make another one of those. I like the Donny Top pattern, think I should bite the bullet and just buy it. Funnily enough I bought the Remy Raglan pattern, sewed it beautifully, was so proud of the finish and execution.....but it was an inch too small!!

[@runningsewandsew]

Re measure yourself for each make and check the actual and finished measurements. Which show the ease. Don’t be fright to grade between sizes - you can do it xx

[@The_Gemini_Stitcher]

Hi Judy, are these shops doable from Cleckheaton as I’m coming to The Gathering and staying Friday to Sunday?xx

[@runningsewandsew]

Sending you a DM on instagram with maps as the answer is yes xx

[@ChristineSewsALot]

Very controlled fabric buy.

[@runningsewandsew]

Being focussed was the aim of the day!!!xx

[@sweetpeagreen68]

It was a super day Judi (and a great decision on our part - if not for Poppy and Maggie - they would have loved Hugg-a-mug (next time maybe)). I think a visit to Manjit may become an end of term treat for us both 😆. Cannot wait to see the completed outfit (and have you decided what the surprise fabric will be?) ❤️

[@runningsewandsew]

Absolutely! we need to go at half term - lets get the date in the diary! xx

[@makeitsew2023]

The fabric shops looked amazing! Nothing beats going with a friend to a fabric shop and of course coffee after 😊 x

[@runningsewandsew]

So true! Especially with cake! x

[@salliecook7528]

I think you did quite well on your purchases!!!! I think you hit the jackpot with the blue and yellow tulip fabric!!!!

[@runningsewandsew]

I think so too! I just spotted it during on last pan round of the shop xx

[@lorrainewhiting1267]

Love the cardigan fabric and the tulip fabric. Great vlog as always.

[@runningsewandsew]

Thanks so much! I was totally spoilt for choice on fabrics that day x

[@nicky-Sewandsnip]

Wonderful fabrics and great day out! I’m hoping I may squeeze in a visit to Lucky Fabrics when I’m up for the gathering as I’ve heard so much about it

[@runningsewandsew]

Please do! You will adore the shop xx

[@sew_with_mel]

Looks like a fab day out…brightened up my Friday evening.

[@runningsewandsew]

It was a wonderful day thank you, so pleased it brightened up your evening x

[@ellawalton6742]

The cream cardigan fabric is stunning Judy. Do you mind me asking if it was expensive ?

[@runningsewandsew]

Oh that fabric is just amazing! x

[@maureencullen1008]

The fabrics you've bought are lovely. Why not make the off white fabric into a channel type jacket or a kimono style.I don't think the waterfall patterns will suit the fabric as it is embellished I think it won't flow especially when it's lined.You will also see the lining with the waterfall design. I love the colours in the fabric for the Saltwater slip dress.

[@runningsewandsew]

Im still thinking of exactly what to make with the glittery fabric.... any ideas are very welcome xx

[@gingerninja_sews]

Another place on the list we need to visit. Thanks Judi. Love tge tulip viscose 😊

[@runningsewandsew]

You should! We have even more shops up here in Yorkshire xx

[@sheilaraynor9949]

It was nice to meet you on wednesday at manjit,s hope to meet you again , such a lovely lady x

[@runningsewandsew]

Oh thank you Sheila and thank you to you and your husband for your kindness yesterday, Pam and I were chatting about you all the way to our next stop. I'll be back. Im hoping to cut out the slip and the cardigan this weekend xxx

[@sherridynpistorius4910]

I live nowhere even near a sewing shop. Almost everything has to be ordered😏was fun to watch your shopping 😊

[@runningsewandsew]

Oh I hope you got the feeling of actually visiting the stores with me xx

[@peachesc8700]

The creamed sparkly fabric is pretty.

[@runningsewandsew]

Oh it is just perfect, and it was just a by chance that I spotted the fabric in the store, as there was so much choice 🥰

[@Shazdog123]

Oh Judi the fabric for the cardigan is just stunning! You had great self control on our shopping trip. ❤

[@runningsewandsew]

Oh the photos of the cardigan fabric just don't do it justice xx

[@jennyturner6399]

Thanks for sharing Judi. 💙🧶🌈🍓

[@runningsewandsew]

Thanks for watching! x

[@StitchedUp]

[@runningsewandsew]

And now I can see why a visit to Manjit is so very special xx

[@nancycraig8483]

Nd good to see you buy with purpose don't just keep adding to your stash 👍 good for the planet

[@runningsewandsew]

Thank you…. It’s hard at times because I’m desperately trying to sew from my stash but it has gaps 🙈

[@TheFrenchSeams_vlog]

What a fun trip!!!

[@runningsewandsew]

Oh it certainly was, even if I forgot to turn my camera on when I arrived at the home of the Sewing Bee! x

Hi Judi I’ve been struggling to keep up with all of the sewing KZbinrs of late as there are so many new ones. I have thoroughly enjoyed this one and your tulip fabric is stunning. You are looking fabulous, love your hair 😊
