Hi Grace! I recently found your channel and I'm totally hooked! I love your accent which I think is from PA but reminds me of NY. I'm from NH currently living in TX. I love your patterns, fabrics and beautiful outfits. I'm a new assist and get so inspired by you. I love your sweet friendly manner and how happy and positive you are! It's really like visiting a good friend. Thanks for all you do😊

[@sewlovelywithgrace]

BINGO! 👍 You guessed right Janet! 🥰 I moved down here to FL from PA, Philly area Montgomery County in 2019. Before that, I lived in Syracuse, NY and before that I grew up in Binghamton & Vestal, NY. I'm so happy you found my channel and that it's inspired you. That's the goal of my channel. I can get corny sometimes and I like to bring fun and joy to my viewers. My love is sewing 🪡 and I'm not very technical. I'm still learning about KZbin. I had my 1 year Anniversary on KZbin on Dec. 5th. I can't believe how fast that came. I'm looking to more fun and makes in 2024 and I hope you continue to enjoy my channel! It's so nice to meet you Janet! WELCOME! Drop me a comment anytime. Thank you for subscribing! Have a GREAT week! 🥰🥰

[@janetwestgate9764]

I didn’t think I’d lost my NY spidey sense! Be well Grace! You spread love and joy in a difficult world. And Merry Christmas to you and your family❤️❤️❤️

[@sewlovelywithgrace]

@@janetwestgate9764 Yes Janet! We definitely need more JOY in this sometimes depressing world. 😃 Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours!!! 🎄🎅💖💖💖

Grace, the top you are wearing really brings out the green of your eyes. The fabric hall is great, I love your plans and matches for the patterns. Love the tablescalpe You are so effervescent and present a wonderful channel;. I’m part Scandinavian , maybe Tom and I are distant cousins. LOL😊❤️

Aribella, You and Tom could be related somehow. He is Danish/Irish! I am 100% Sicilian. YIKES! It works for us. Thanks for always commenting. It makes my day to hear from you! Enjoy! More to come! 🥰💖💖

I enjoyed the video. I liked your top and skirt. Your table setting was very nice. Your lemon chicken looked delicious. I know your family had a great time.

Thank you Vanessa, I'm glad you enjoyed the video. We all had a great time! Thanks for watching. 🥰

What a lovely video Grace. Your home is so inviting. Your table was perfect. I enjoyed your haul and matching fabric. I am sew inspired! 😊

Thanks Chilisa. I can't wait to see what you made this week on fridaysews too! 🥰

[@CarolAnnSews]

Hi Grace, this was a great video! I loved your fabric and pattern matching segment! I also loved the top and skirt you are wearing, BUT that table setting and lemon chicken dinner along with all your delicious appetizers and desserts was amazing! I now have a hankering for lemon chicken! Your home is so lovely. You're the best!

[@sewlovelywithgrace]

Awww thank you Carol Ann! What's really amazing is that ALL the dishes on my table setting were from Dollar Tree!!! The lemon plates and glass dishes may no longer be stocked in their stores but I ordered them from the Dollar Tree website. I'm glad you enjoyed my video and I thank you for watching. More to come! 🥰

[@DebsWay]

Hi Grace! Can't wait to see everything made up. You found some wonderful fabric...and so did Tom. Have a great week-end!

Thanks Deb! I'm busy, busy in the sewing room. Have a great week!!!!!!

[@sofiasewplay]

I like the orange / yellow bright , great pick from hubby, that floral is great for the holidays the colors are so fitting. That green is so fall .yes I was very inspired.

[@sewlovelywithgrace]

I'm so glad I inspired you Sofia! You DEFINITELY inspire me! Thanks for watching. 🥰

[@cookeka]

Grace, I love that faux leather for the skirt. The orange and yellow fun fabric for the Newlook pattern is beautiful. I also love that silky fabric with red flowers. Lovely finds at your local store. Enjoyed the outfit you modeled too. Table setting 👌 your garden did well with peppers.

[@sewlovelywithgrace]

Thank you Karon 🥰 , that faux leather was a total surprise when I found it at Walmart. So exciting for the Fall! I love the orange/yellow fabric and silky floral. Can't wait to cut into them. Have a great weekend Karon! 💖

[@kgflcreations]

Hi Grace, as always your makes are beautiful!! I love your new fabrics 😉. I’m trying not to buy more fabrics, I have too much and my storage space is to the limit. Thank you for sharing your lovely table decor. It’s a pity that we couldn’t smell your wonderful food 🤗🤗 Have a great weekend 🥰🥰🥰💕💕💕💕

[@sewlovelywithgrace]

Yes Karen, I agree I'm done buying fabric for a while. Maybe a few pieces more for the holidays. The food was wonderful and we had a lot of fun! Thanks for watching. Now back to cleaning and laundry and then I will be back in my sewing room sewing and watching all my fridaysews to see what everyone made! Have a great sewing weekend! 😘😘😘😘💖💖💖💖

[@jacquelinerenea1022]

Love the video. I need to walk around Joann's a little bit more. The table and food look lovely and I hope you all had a great time.

[@sewlovelywithgrace]

Thanks so much Jacqueline! The dinner was a lot of fun!

[@Northandsouthsewing]

I have that polka dot fabric and stripe fabric. I really love it. It has held up very well! You'll love it as that dress.

[@sewlovelywithgrace]

That's awesome! Thank you. 🥰

[@sharonhovatter3439]

Another great video! Your outfit turned out so cute. Your tabletop decoration and food looks amazing. You are so talented. My garden is coming to an end as well but I enjoyed the fresh vegetables. Enjoy your family time.

[@sewlovelywithgrace]

Thank you Sharon. I love entertaining and my table setting dishes were ALL from Dollar Tree! That's really amazing. Enjoy your fresh vegetables. Have a great weekend! 🥰

I have the light blue with pink Flamingo fabric, I love it!! It sews up wonderfully

[@sewlovelywithgrace]

Cindy, thanks for letting me know! 😃

[@ErinSews]

Thank you for the shout out Grace!!! You and Tom would look great in matching shirts too 🤗 He went to town picking out fabric- I love it!! The retro fabric that you picked out for N6733 is so fun and will be perfect for that pattern. I can see it with some white shorts or capris but I’m eager to see how you style it since you always have such great, coordinated looks. Like the green outfit you modeled in this video! It just went together so well and you gave some great shoe options. The cutout is a fun touch to the top and I love that it doesn’t show your bra strap. Your table setting was beautiful and so summery. Perfect for a visit to Florida! I’m sure your family loved it and really appreciated the effort. It’s hard not to feel special when your hostess puts in such an effort! Have a great weekend Grace! 🧵🩵🤗

[@sewlovelywithgrace]

Thanks Erin. I absolutely loved your matching shirts. I need to get sewing Tom's shirts. He's excited and I'm buried with projects but I want to make him happy. The family loved the food and we had a great time. Have a great weekend as well Erin!

[@Nonna_Tina]

Love your outfit! I always enjoy watching fabric and pattern matching. Last time I went to Joann’s I thought, I’m going to be like Grace and buy a New Look pattern. The one I was in didn’t even carry them anymore. 😢 I will go to the one closest to my house because I think they still have some. I hope they aren’t phasing them out. Wow you really put out a spread for your entertaining. Just beautiful. Thanks for showing us what your house looks like - so inviting. I love that your husband picks out his own fabrics. I may have to venture into making a shirt for my husband….after I get better at sewing for myself ha ha. Have a great weekend

[@sewlovelywithgrace]

Tina, if you can't find a New Look pattern at JoAnn's, they usually carry it at Hobby Lobby. It costs a little more but if you really want it, they may have it there. I heard they may be phasing out New Look. That's a shame because it's my favorite line. I love to put out a spread when I have a party. It's my Italian upbringing. Always greet family and guests with a warm welcome and lots of food! That wasn't even a lot of food compared to my cousin in Sicily! Their tables are endless. Now my husband loves to pick out his fabrics but he needs to learn to sew!!! 🤣🤣 Thanks for watching!

[@cherrie2597]

I enjoy your videos. Your personality is so calm and soothing. I'll bet it takes a lot to get your ruffled. Your new skirt and top are very nice. I think I will get that skirt pattern, too. The olive shoes are great. I wish I could wear back-less shoes. For some reason, I can't keep them on my feet. I need a back strap. Many blessings to you dear.

[@sewlovelywithgrace]

Thank you Cherrie! Life is too short to get ruffled easily. I'm glad you enjoyed my video. Blessing to you also!

[@crystalsewsandstuff]

Love that top and skirt combo! Nice haul. I think using stripes and polka dots on that hi-lo dress is an amazing idea! That is a lovely table setting and the food looks tasty. Love your garden too. My son is visiting Denmark now with his Auntie and is loving the Lego park. Thanks for sharing your haul!

[@sewlovelywithgrace]

Yes Crystal, Lego's are really big there and lots of fun! My Father In Law lives there with his Danish wife. I'm glad you enjoyed my video and thanks for watching! 🥰

[@martikajmakes]

Great video, Grace! I sewed that Simplicity 1358 dress in the exact same fabric a while back. It's now too big, so I'm going to make it into something else. That ribbed knit is going to look fabulous in that top. Thanks for sharing!

[@sewlovelywithgrace]

Thank you Martika. I'd love to see your dress. You are one sewing KZbinr that definitely influences and inspires me! Have a great week of sewing!

[@SewAndTellwithDori]

Nice top and skirt! I had wondered about the top and bra situation, thanks for clarifying. I'm also a big lover of lemon, especially lemon cake with lemon icing. Love lemon butter on broccoli, shrimp, and just about anything else! Can't wait to see your upcoming makes with the fabric. Yes, that zebra beige fabric is very unique. Never seen anything like it before. Have a great time with your family!!!

[@sewlovelywithgrace]

Thanks Dori! I enjoy entertaining. And my absolute favorite flavor is LEMON! Lemon anything! Delish 😋 That zebra fabric was is so unique. They still have it at JoAnns.

[@Silver_Threads_Sewing]

I always love seeing your fabric and pattern choices. You have such good taste. I thought it’s so great that you and your husband usually agree on the ideas. My Mama and Daddy had almost the same taste in clothes for Mama. She would look through the Sears catalog when it would come and then Daddy would almost always, pick out the same dresses. ❤

[@SirenaSpades]

What lovely memories. I miss the catalogs so much.

[@sewlovelywithgrace]

@@SirenaSpades Yes, the Sear catalog and then my absolute fabric was the JC Penny catalog. It was heartbreak when they did away with it and went all online!! 💔

[@sewlovelywithgrace]

Yes, Diann, fortunately Tom and I have similar tastes in clothing and also home decor! Thanks for watching. 😍🥰

[@robintate998]

Hi Grace, I love your channel. The green skirt is my favorite. I love all Tom's fabric picks too. Thank for the Friday sews

[@sewlovelywithgrace]

Thank you Robin! I'm glad you enjoyed my video and makes and fabric picks. 🥰

[@SirenaSpades]

Gosh, I love the top, it doesn't look how I expected - I thought the opening would be larger and it wouldn't be bra friendly - I couldn't deal with that. I am going to have to pick up that pattern! I love the snakeskin ponte and I REALLY love that floral. I really enjoyed seeing your dinner party preparations! I bet you had a great time! Up north, my garden is still in process, my tomatoes are green and flowering. Everything I plant is 60 days max. Love your channel!

[@sewlovelywithgrace]

Thanks Sirena, The sleeveless top is definitely bra friendly. And I forgot to mention that you can make the cut-out on either shoulder. I want to make the long sleeve one but that will need a strapless bra. The snakeskin ponte is definitely exciting! The floral is also. We had a great time eating and going in the pool. I love tomatoes and we didn't get much this year. I hope you are more fortunate. Thanks for always watching! More to come. 🥰

[@Northandsouthsewing]

I have that floral fabric too. I made up a Big4 Fit and flare type dress! I loved it. One of my faborite makes EVER. It was my first ever dress made with my serger and I messed up a little bit on the princess seams so it pulled apart and is unwearable now, but I love it and want more of that fabric!

[@sewlovelywithgrace]

That is awesome! What pattern did you use to make your dress? JoAnn's still carries that fabric. It's Item # 1302207.
