Lately I've been loving making raglan-sleeve sweatshirts. They come together quickly and are so cozy. I like your contrasting sleeves! xo Annette in Michigan

I like your Drew top. When you mentioned Thirkelow and your sewing retreat I smiled. I go in April with my love sewing mag group, ten of us. We always cook several meals but now I’m wondering if Esther will fully cater. Her meals are fabulous. Have a great time. 😊

[@whatbecsews]

Her meals are perfect! Have the best time in April xx

[@ruthlanwarne8978]

@ Thank you. It’s such a treat and we love Esther’s meals😋

[@HeatherBulcock]

As a proud recipient of your 2p24 advent calendar, I LOVE the idea of your boxes!! And please consider things like zip pulls in your 2025 calendar, good for sewists and non-sewists alike.

[@whatbecsews]

Good to know x

Glad you spent the FG voucher on some absolutely unique fabric - wasn’t sure at time of which fabric shop for voucher but you can’t go wrong with FG - their fabric is so amazing - have fun at weekend xx

[@whatbecsews]

FG always a winner 😊thank you ❤️

[@sarahblack8913]

I love your drew top, I like how the black ribbing matches the black in the sleeves ❤ I've finally got round to starting the Closet Core Rika trousers toile I cut out aaages ago but have put off starting because they scare me 😆wish me luck!

[@frannygrace2191]

So timely with the zip pulls! I had just watched Tamlin from Sewing on the Tyne and she showed a zip pull that she had just gotten and my first thought was "Bec needs to make those along with her buttons and jewelry!".

[@whatbecsews]

Haha and there they are! There are more coming x

[@CreativityFromBlueberryH-wo3gu]

Your Drew shirt is a nice pattern combination! Look at those lovely additions to the store! Enjoy your sewing retreats!

[@whatbecsews]

Thank you x

[@SewnontheTyne]

yay I have that amazing fabric Godmother fabric too!! Can't wait to see your make xxx

[@whatbecsews]

Thanks lovely x

[@gwenasprey764]

Hi Becs, live the vlogs, would love the button box as you can't get nice buttons here in Spain. zip pulls would be good too. Gwen

[@Lindam47]

Those buttons and earrings are amazing.

[@whatbecsews]

Thank you x

[@SewMyTime]

I really love the new Drew top- looks great with the joggers and the Fabric Godmother fabric is just fabulous 😍. New buttons and earrings are making me sit on my hands too 🫤. Trying hard not to spend and it is hard…. You are so creative and industrious 😊. Enjoy your social. Lynne

[@whatbecsews]

Haha I know that feeling of trying not to spend - that is what I have been doing with fabric x

[@jesspeak7543]

Your Drew top looks great with the contrast sleeves and black trim. My sewing is non- clothing related. Completed two WIPs(Valentine's quilted table toppers/wall hangers) and three self quilted Indexa Pouches. Your Sewing Socials sound very inviting. Enjoy. ❤😂🎉 🇦🇺 🪃

[@whatbecsews]

Completing WIPs is so satisfying x

[@SueTownson]

I was going to buy some buttons but they are gone - congratulations they are very beautiful. Love your Drew top and enjoy this week and your break coming up. Sounds fabulous 😎❤

I come on here to enjoy the convo❤, dont feel like you need to make an outfit every week, hello from Washington state 🙂👋

[@whatbecsews]

Haha thank you x

[@petrasouth1133]

Love your Drew. And your totally right, one garment sewn a week is already a lot. Not all makes will be a succes, but still how much clothes do you need.

[@whatbecsews]

Need? Not many… want … all the clothes and colours x

[@irenegilchrist1512]

Love your jewellery, Bec. I got some just before Christmas and am ready for more. I need to wait till there is some gold plated though, as for some strange reason my skin reacts to silver. I'll keep looking. Your lounge suit looks great. 😍

[@carolmatheson8869]

Love your leisure suit , love watching all your blogs , just ordered your new buttons and others ,they are so different from shop bought ones ❤

Hi Becki, your Drew sweatshirt is lovely. I’ve actually managed to order from your shop before they all sell out, I can’t wait!! ❤❤

[@whatbecsews]

Aww thanks and yay! They have been selling quick x

[@JanetteTaylor-q8x]

@ I’m not surprised Becki, they’re all gorgeous ❤️❤️

[@ThePeakyStitcher]

hi Becs if you are ever in the Derbyshire dales area, IE Ashbourne on the Leek Road at Bradnop on the main road there is the Sewing Academy . Laura Knight she is an experienced sewer, in her shop she sells brother machines fabrics and holds classes. always worth a visit if you are in the area. I live just south of Ashbourne , and not much in the way of sewing related shops around, I purchased my brother machine from her and handy for servicing too for me.

[@whatbecsews]

Awww thanks, that’s good to know x

[@henriettejosephine]

The fabric reminds me of Aborigines‘ paintings.

[@whatbecsews]

❤️

[@dianemontavon5670]

I'm interested in the preorder for the mixed box. I live in USA, do you have an idea of shipping cost to me? I live in Erlanger, Kentucky 41018. Thanks.

[@whatbecsews]

It would depend on the weight - I will be able to answer that nearer the time x

[@lyndavis3516]

Your fabric print is aboriginal art work.

[@whatbecsews]

Thank you ☺️
