[@ChristineSewsALot]

I love the Southbank Sweater Dress ❤. Might just be my favorite pattern.

[@TheFrenchSeams_vlog]

Hi Christine! I can absolutely see why.. I think it could be becoming my fave too!

[@dizzyquiltsandsews]

Nice catch-up! I absolutely love your Southbank and the sofa tidy. Looking forward to your slippers!

[@TheFrenchSeams_vlog]

Thanks a mill Izzy!! The Southbank is an amazing pattern! How has it taken me so long! I’m so excited about the slippers! I’m excited to report back!

[@julieannedearling3404]

I love watching your vlogs and seeing all the various items you have worked on. Like you i sew clothes, crafts and quilts

[@TheFrenchSeams_vlog]

Thanks Julie! I love sewing a variety of things!! Thanks for watching

[@louisepartridge6644]

Lovely vlog Rachel wow you’ve been busy despite being poorly. Really like the chair tidy and your Ressac sweatshirt definitely want to make those. 😊

[@TheFrenchSeams_vlog]

Thanks Louise! I’d definitely recommend both those patterns! I hope you get to making them

[@socarole66]

Another amazing video, jam packed with awesome makes. You are such an accomplished sewist in all mediums now! The sweatshirt you are wearing is stunning on you and I can feel the cosiness 😂. It's the neck darts and different colour accents that make it so different. Love all the craft bits and Adam's Sofa Tidy is brilliant, of course you had to make it in Tula 👏🏼. I have to tell you, everytime you say something like "it's been 3 weeks since my last FS" I always think you are going to say... It's been 3 weeks since my last confession 😂😂. Sorry but it just makes me smile ❤ Have a great week and hope you have power and water over there! Xx

[@TheFrenchSeams_vlog]

😂😂 I thought I was the only one thinking it sounded like confession! 😂 now I just lean into it 😉 The Ressac is really a great pattern! Adam’s sofa tidy is such a great pattern.. and it just had to be Tula, right 😉 hope you’re having a lovely week!

[@ZeldaSews]

Well you two have got to get better and stay better!😅😅😅 We avoided it this year!

[@TheFrenchSeams_vlog]

Oh thank you Zelda.. we avoided it for so long but it caught up to us!!

[@ritamarybolton6188]

Great makes as always ❤ I love the denim Sherpa, and your sewing pouch in particular.

[@TheFrenchSeams_vlog]

Thanks Rita! I’d fun over the past few weeks! Glad you enjoyed themb

[@karolmolpus9536]

Hahaha 9’ zip!!!😂

[@DevonThreadTales]

Such a lovely video - glad it's not just my husband who's eyes glaze over 😂 BTW perfect arm chair impersonation lol 😜 Such a fabulous make. Aaaaahhh I think I want to make the Resack (don't know how to spell it) now!!! ❤ Yours is gorgeous. Very interested in the mens 3/4 zip too!

[@TheFrenchSeams_vlog]

Hahaha our poor husbands! Thank goodness we have this outlet 😂😂😂 Loved all my recent makes and love sharing them… and pretending to be a couch 😂 xx

[@maggiesanderson818]

I enjoyed your vlog as usual. I’ve just got back from a trip to India and I’m definitely going to make the Atlas pouch. It’ll make it so much easier when I’m going through airport security trying to get together phone, iPad, kindle etc. And the Southbank … a favourite. I have 4 dresses and numerous sweaters. 😊

[@TheFrenchSeams_vlog]

Hi Maggie, thanks so much for watching! Yes I think the Atlas Pouch is perfect for travelling ! I can totally see the Southbank being a favourite!

[@madebykarenmarie]

Ooh, that Atlas pouch is gorgeous, and the Ressac is just.. *chefskiss.. beautiful. Please let us know how Mr French Seams liked his sweatshirt. I am thinking about spoiling my husband with one of those, too. :)

[@TheFrenchSeams_vlog]

Thanks so much!!! He loves it.. but it’s too big.. I kinda expected that. So I’ll take it in and redo the hemband and see how that works. Hopefully it’ll work because it’s a really fun pattern xx

[@Kate-wf6hh]

I love your Ressac top and that colour is perfect on you. I too have had variable results with neck ribbing. I think it is down to the quality of the ribbing, so I am careful now to get the best I can get hold of as not only does it go in better, it keeps its shape for longer too.

[@TheFrenchSeams_vlog]

Hi Kate. It’s the weirdest thing isn’t it! It’s so hit and miss ! Ah well, you live and learn, at least I was able to make it semi-ok 😂😂 you’re right about the quality though, it makes a difference! Thanks for watching

[@benitaleahy8367]

Hi Rachael , love all the makes ,I really have to get into the South Bank party ,it's just the ticket ,Adams pattern are amazing ,you really did them justice, loving the pink vibes ,I am definatly putting one or two on my to do list 🥰, great video as always

[@TheFrenchSeams_vlog]

Thanks Benita! The Southbank is just brilliant! So glad I finally tried it! Adam’s patterns are such fun, I’m sure you’ll love them too!

[@aoifewebb5099]

Loving all the wizard of oz/wicked content!

[@TheFrenchSeams_vlog]

😂😂 pretty good eh 😉 x

[@karenrafferty8364]

Lovely makes and great video ❤ managed to pick up a fat quarter in Aldi in Coolock Dublin today. Can’t buy them from there without thinking of u lol

[@TheFrenchSeams_vlog]

Hahaha that’s too funny! They are fierce handy aren’t they 😉 glad you got sorted! Thanks so much for watching!!

[@sewvertonmakery]

You are an 'Absolute delight' to watch my love, honestly I was crying with laughter when you said you looked like you had been at a sheep shearing contest after cutting out the Sherpa 🤣 Love your Southbank and Sofa Tidy. Hope you feel tip top soon lovely one and Happy sewing ❤

[@TheFrenchSeams_vlog]

Ah thank you so much!! You should see my sewing room 😂😂😂 Thanks a mill lovely lady xxx

[@macquadj]

Lovely video Rachael! I’m wondering if you could do a video showing how you use your awl to complete binding? I’m not very skilled doing binding and could use some techniques to improve it. Thanks! 😊

[@blathnaidegan3617]

Yes. I'd love to know too. I'm not a great binder, but love the finish so anything that improves would be brilliant. As usual, love all your videos

[@TheFrenchSeams_vlog]

Hi there. Yes I can see what I can do to show it. Thanks for the idea!

[@TheFrenchSeams_vlog]

Thanks so much Blathnaid! It’s on the list 😉
