Hi Cara, I live in Australia but love your choices, even tho we going into full summer already (that’s what it feels like, anyway). Just wanted to say that I love the photo and the amazing portrait sketch of your precious fur baby. Her (?) character has been very well captured - I love that. That picture must be a great comfort to you- looks like she is wanting to tell you something exciting. What a beautiful tribute ❤❤

Thank you so much, it’s such a wonderful portrait isn’t it, my step mom drew it years ago, so talented. It’s lovely to hear from you thank you

Free patterns are so good to test how you like the block used and the instructions of a new to you company, thanks for your great suggestions. Love your Harper Cardigan on you, colour looks great on camera. When I had my colours done I was told to add a scarf/collar if your unsure if its a colour that's you so that colour isn't up to your neck/face, so possible you could try that trick if you feel you need something ☺ Congratulations on reaching 10K 🎉

Love a free pattern and immediately went and downloaded the Elemental pencil skirt as I just loved your outfit and I would love to make something similar. I think I may use the TATB Nora as the top as I think the slightly cropped style stepped hem would look good and give me a bit of bum coverage 😆 Have had the Harper cardigan for ages but not got round to making it but now I am inspired to cut one out and get sewing ! Love to see you beautiful whippets making an appearance 😍🐾🐾

I made the tessuti monroe turtleneck. Both this and the Mandy boat tee are two of my favourite patterns. However a couple of things to note for both. The sleeve openings are a bit tight. I had to add about an inch to the sleeve width where it joins the body and adjusted the armhole opening too. My first one had really tight sleeves. Also on the monroe the neck opening and the neck band were a bit tight. I ended up cutting it off and making the neck opening bigger and the neck band longer. It then was more comfortable to wear. Finally, the body of both patterns is really oversized, and you can size down on that part easily.

Your long cardigan looks amazing! I can see how I would wear something like that a lot. Seems like a comfy, casual, yet elevated way to stay warm. Seriously jealous of the fabric options you all have over there. I am in Virginia and besides chain stores that offer little selection, the closest decent fabric store is an hour away. And I keep striking out when I order online. Anyway, thanks for all the fun, useful content you keep bringing 😊

Good morning Cara! It really is amazing how many quality sewing patterns are available for free. Out of your list I own 7! I'm very good at collecting them but very bad at making them up. Other than the Grenadine skirt, I haven't tried any. I did pull out my Harper last week to finally make it, ugh, but then saw it is still in a million pdf pages yet to be taped. It's become a luxury to get the A0 files printed. In the US it has become so expensive with the postage significantly adding to that expense. After seeing your snuggly, cozy Harper, I need to pull up my big girl pants and just get to taping! 😆Have a great week and thank you for the inspiration!

Hi Cara, you are so inspiring 😊🤩 How did you learn to sew…to do dressmaking? I am 56 and starting all over again. Due to memory loss some years ago, I am having to start from scratch and really want to make my own clothes. But I don’t know where to start? I have just bought myself a new sewing machine and overlocker…but I’m a bit overwhelmed about learning to use them. Compared to my machine 30 years ago, it looks like it can make coffee 😂Even though it’s only a Brother Heavy Duty FS110X. So hardly top shelf model. Would love your advice on where to begin with sewing lessons. If you get a chance to read this. 🙏🙏❤️
@sosewmadАй бұрын
Hi, it’s lovely to hear from you, wow how exciting to do something new! It’s so good for us, my advice would be just to enjoy whatever project you start with and embrace all elements of learning, including frustration and mistakes . What helped me, as I’m self taught, only sewing for 8 years, is to keep the end in mind, so fabric and patterns of clothes that I am inspired to wear. Even just basis t shirts, KZbin is a wonderful source of learning, enjoy x
