Found this vlog especially helpful ,it gave me the insight in how to tweak the bodice of the orchid dress for a better fit. Followed your lead & am Uber impressed with end result . Thank you 😊

[@runningsewandsew]

Brilliant- any time xx

[@drs4876]

[@janetyler1642]

Glad you are feeling better Judi. Lovely fabrics and plans. Look forward to seeing your quilted jacket. You are inspiring me to consider making one😊 Have a great weekend.

[@runningsewandsew]

Will I'm a slow and steady sewer so it might take some time. xxx

[@marciahighsmith4820]

I'm glad you are sounding better. You sound busy, if you get all of that sewn up be sure to let us know.

[@runningsewandsew]

Fingers crossed I manage it - I need to get in the garden too! xx

Love that there are so many group sewing meet ups in your area! I live in the US- Connecticut, and I don't know of any around here. Consider yourself blessed to have multiple groups! I really enjoy your videos and am subscribed. But you are so cute, I wish I could subscribe twice!

[@christinawelton9689]

I agree with you as I also live in Connecticut

[@runningsewandsew]

Oh I wish you could subscribe twice! I'm thinking of doing a tour of the USA when I retire and Connecticut is on my list along with as many other states I can fit in xxxx

[@runningsewandsew]

Lets bring Connecticut together sewing xxx

[@christinawelton9689]

@@runningsewandsew my area is a beautiful part of Connecticut. Would love to meet up! I’m on the shore line.

[@lavadajenkins2955]

Great Friday Sees Judi. Your plans sound like such fun!

[@runningsewandsew]

Thanks Lavada xx

[@debbiescott512]

Everyday is a learning day ❤❤ thank you so much, I always learn something watching your vlogs- I’ll have a go at altering my gaping faux wraps now 👏🏻👏🏻

[@runningsewandsew]

Yes its very straightforward. I hope it works for you. Any more help just shout xxx

[@joanneblair2087]

I absolutely love the pink door fabric. As far as your alteration-genius. I have always had that problem and went to the bother of making a small bust adjustment which is much more work.

[@runningsewandsew]

Thank you I hope you can use this alteration too xx

Your word poem is called an ACROSTIC. I.e. a word or phrase for each letter of your chosen word. I like the look of your Project envelopes - can I ask where you got them from please? You’re so lucky to be able to go visit Sam in her new studio. I’ve been following her since the beginning of her KZbin journey but it’s just too far for me to drive there and back. ( I managed to get to a SewToon meeting last year but needed an overnight stay because of the distance). Enjoy your week and stay well 🤓🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Hope you have a lovely week sewing. I'm going to try doing the same. I'm going to make a start on a hacked jacket to wear for my son's wedding. I'm a bit nervous about making the first cut into the fabric. Have fun

[@runningsewandsew]

You can do it! Good luck and remember pin twice, measure twice and you can do it! xx

[@beverleytaylor8026]

@@runningsewandsew if my wedding outfit turns out as well as yours I'll be happy. It's so difficult fitting on yourself.

[@lindavictor8250]

I love the fabric in your dress. I hope to make a faux wrap dress soon and will keep your fixes in mind!

[@runningsewandsew]

I hope you don't need to do the alteration xx

[@loriannpayne4483]

LOL - I was just thinking of the Accuquilt system and what you might make with it for the Parchment jacket! I’m REALLY loving the Orchid dress on you. That fabric! Love it. I forgot to tell you that I have the Sirocco Jumpsuit cut out and ready to sew as well. Happy Friday Judi! Talk soon.

[@runningsewandsew]

And you got a sneaky peak too! Yep I'm doing the pattern test and the jersey sews then out comes the accuquilt xxx

[@maureencullen1008]

Your dress looks lovely.I am not sure what you meant by sewing a basting stitch and pulling down the fabric.If it's sewn how would you pull it down?I know I am not seeing the obvious but if you could help that would be great as I often have this problem.Thanks. Fab vlog as always.

[@runningsewandsew]

So where the two front pieces overlap you need to pull them down further so they over hang into the skirt. I machine baste them in paste to check my fit. A machine baste or machine tack is a long stitch xxx
