I can't believe how much you have seen!! You've made some wonderful garments. I love the red and white top the best (I wonder why you like red?! 🍓) but the black trim on the pumpkin top was genius. Thank you so much for the shout out for my channel and your kind words about me, that was lovely of you ❤. (I got to 6K 👏🏼) I keep forgetting to warn people about that neckline on 6216 but I do exactly what you did and pinch in the front neckline. You have so many more plans which is wonderful to see. I love getting cheap and thrifted T shirts as they are good for colour blocking or making into smaller t shirts etc. 6216 is good for that as it doesn't have sleeves. Thanks for updating us on your area and what a relief that the rain is staying away. Hope you get over your bug whatever it is and have a good weekend ❤🍓❤ xx

Diann, welcome back! So glad you have been busy sewing. The yellow dress is beautiful. I'm in love with that pumpkin crinkle cut blouse but the red/white is my favorite I made N6216 top. It's wonderful. Yours came out great. Wonderful plans. I love what you cut out! I hope things get rebuilt there soon before the Winter. So sorry about the devastation and that people are still without power. God bless you Diann. 🥰❤

Love your vlogs…..😊🇦🇺

I’d vote for the dark pink on the sides of the dress with light pink in center. For some reason that just popped for me versus the other way. Can’t wait to see what you decide for that dress. Thanks for sharing.

[@pamelaliebelt9967]

I am so glad to see you back! Love your makes! The top you are wearing reminds me of the Love Notions La Bella Donna - one of my favorite patterns to make and wear. My heart breaks for NC. I watch videos from people who are helping, it is awesome that people are coming together to help.

I love the yellow dress. So pretty.

Diann, watching your videos is like sitting in your sewing room and chatting with a friend! The yellow dress is lovely. I have made several New Look 6216. I still need to make the Rhapsody blouse. Glad you’re doing well! 🥰❤️

[@normacooper6377]

You go, girl! Looks like you have some excellent plans. Thanks for the update on your nearby areas.

[@Stumble.guy2]

If by a miracle etc etc. Take care snd God bless.

Minimal damage for them,,, PTL. Happy sewing, and stay well!!! Nancy from Ft Wayne,IN

I love the Itch to stitch dress that you made. The color is beautifull on you. It can always look good with a polneck and stockings. I love the first one so much! The red is so lovely on you. The cowl tops are my favorite

[@elizabethevans5931]

Love all your makes, you sure have been busy!!!

[@kgflcreations]

Hi Diann, thank you for sharing all your makes. You have been a busy bee 🐝, and you have created beautiful garments 🙌🏻. Your two toned Tidal dress will be awesome 👏, I really liked the darker pink on the outside, but I will wait to see what you decided to cut/sew 😊. Happy sewing 🧵🪡. Karen 💖💖

[@janegilson1886]

Super cute yellow linen dress! I think you can wear it all year - with a cardigan or scarf. Very cute. Love the pumpkin color top too - the black twill tape adds a nice touch to it! You got a lot done!! Great job lining the pink top. I love that New Look pattern . I've made the pants 5 times and love that tshirt too. that is a GREAT pattern

[@nancyhilborn885]

As you showed all the wonderful tops you've made, I thought back to the video a while back when you said you needed tops. You've gone all in! I just love the variety and your tweeks to the patterns to make them unique to you. You've got some beautiful plans and fabrics. I love the pumpkin pants too! Thanks for the update on the recovery efforts.

[@kimberlyschulz7220]

I love what you did to the neckline on the Rhapsody blouse❤

[@cynthiatennant9896]

Hi Diann, you have really been busy sewing and accomplished a lot!!! Now you have some really nice things to wear. The dress is pretty on you! We’re still praying for everyone in your area. I talked to my brother yesterday, he lives in Fletcher. He said for some people life is getting back to normal. Just as you said for others it’s not. He said they haven’t had a drop of rain where he is since the storm and they need just a bit to calm the dust and dirt that is covering everything. Things we don’t even think about since we aren’t there. Anyway glad you’re able to sew and I hope your cough goes away soon. Have a wonderful weekend ❤️

[@SuzySunshine]

WOW! You have been busy. I'm looking forward to seeing your newly cut out makes. There are so many negative things on the news that it's easy to forget the loving kindness of mankind. Disasters shine a light on that goodness. God is good. All will be well. ❤

[@theseamstressatthecottage]

I find the news so depressing, and it is updates like this that give me hope .

[@TodayinJensSewingRoom]

That red cowl top - you should wear that color every day because you look amazing in it! "Long as cold weather." 😂 I'd never heard that but it is so true. 2 things: you have got to stop tempting me with fabric from Fabric Mart! Between you and Trish I'll be done in. And the second, I'm so grateful for the hurricane updates. What a mess. Thank you Jesus for those that have stepped in and continued to help even a month out. I think that's when you need it the most, when the initial rush is gone and the real work begins. Still praying. xoxox

[@MimiRouth-t4d]

Oh, Diann, I love everything you made. Yes, I try to get cotton in the stores. Croft & Barrow offers beautiful affordable cotton knit tops. And I have cotton waiting to be sewn up. Love, Mimi P.S. You know, in a way experiences like you describe in NC are happening all over. I was fortunate in San Francisco's 1989 quake, but without power. I sat up, listening with ear phones to a battery radio as one station relayed messages connecting families who commute across the Bay. The transit was upset, and school kids were sheltered one place, while the working parents were bussed a long way around -- and not all spoke English! Even when a person is fortunate, that one is pretty upset seeing the others and trying to help them. In the Caldor Fire, we evacuated a whole town, South Lake Tahoe where I lived back then, and everyone had to get out! The wildlife rehabbers I volunteered with had to farm out the bear cubs and raccoons and chipmunks and -- you get the idea -- to rehab folks in OR and NV. Some dear old family cabins burned down. Highway 50 past Placerville was fire fighters and lots of prayers and nail biting! People have lost a lot and made a career of sulking and pursuing their cases instead of living with gratitude. It's tuff and just know a lot of us far away are watching and sending love.

[@karonscott1278]

You have been very busy. I live the red top, color is fabulous. Glad to see you are back to sewing.

[@ToniWilson-c4q]

Your very welcome ❤😊

[@ZeldaSews]

Hi Diann, you were a busy lady this week! Your yellow dress is very beautiful. I might try the Rhapsody blouse and do what you did and omit the ties.

[@robynlaszlo6128]

You have been busy i love all your makes they really look great thanks for the update have a wonderful week 😊😊😊

[@4757bryce]

"Long as cold weather" (18:03) she says straight faced 😂

[@MountainAccentsSewing]

I’m so glad you have had time to sew. I love all your makes. The alterations you made to the dress is perfect. I love all the tops too, especially the simple T-shirt you are wearing. I may have to look for that pattern. It looks like it is loose (to skim over curves) without being too loose. How much did you downsize? I love all of your new fabrics and plans. ❤😊🧵✂️

[@stephaniecruz8260]

Love all your makes. ❤ your drawing looks like my drawings😂

[@marylusk8287]

Diann, It is so good to see you, and you have been busy sewing. The red and white blouse is my favorite; it's such a pretty color on you. Diann, have you ever ordered the mystery bundles from Fabric Mart? I just did it last week, and they had a dollar shipping fee.

[@cherylpound9919]

I also love New Look 6216. I have the same issue, very large neck opening. When you say you pinched out an inch, could you show us what you're talking about . Thanks
