[@janetwilliams7705]

You are absolutely delightful! Thank you for the smiles and giggles.

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

Aww thank you Janet! 😊

[@seasidestitches615]

Ha, I saw you Ruan, you momentarily considered standing on the swivel chair, love your naturalness, your ‘mucky feet’ and your sewing achievements. Thanks for all the details and the continued inspiration, Susan xx

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

Ha ha Susan! That really made me smile. Dread to think what disaster would have befallen me if I’d stood on the swivel chair 🤪

[@lizlevesque5547]

I keep buying new patterns. I love your choices for the tees.

[@amem2785]

Pattern buying problem here too!!

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

Looks like we all do Liz 🤣

[@Beyondthepinkdoor]

I have a vision of the Spring dress in the Sew Hayley Jane fabulous fabric you love ❤️ . 😮. Yep I have the humongous list of things I want to make ... can’t wait to see your t shirts especially the scoop back one ooh that will be fab

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

Yes Andrea! Someone else has mentioned that and I think it might have to be done!

[@sewagnes6706]

So many tee shirt options! Well done on prioritising. I really love the daisy stripe fabric. Look forward to seeing your makes. Thanks for sharing😻

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

Thank you! I’m not always good at prioritising 🤪

[@petrinaeve3547]

Hi Ruan, really enjoying your weekly videos. keep them coming :) . Love all your makes . Also love your wall paper in your sewing room, persuaded my hubby I need it as a feature in my hallway :)

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

He he Petrine! It’s a gorgeous wallpaper. Still love looking at it now! 😍

[@newcreations1064]

Love the dress your wearing the colour suits you. Looking forward to the tee shirt makes.You have inspired me to make my covers for the sewing machine and serger.Keepon sewing,hugs Jean.

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

Oh yay Jean! I know your sewing machine and serger will thank you for it 😝

[@pinkysfarm461]

I now have to drag out my Tilly & Buttons books! The Nina Lee is a gorgeous dress. Cant wait to see yours done up. Glad Im not the only one that plans to start one thing and gets distracted by 10 others.. the struggle is REAL! You are always a jiy to watch! So funny!

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

Thanks lovely 😊. It seems that we ALL get distracted then! 🤣

[@onelisashow]

Ohh my list is massive. I have the same problem I want to make everything! I feel your pain.

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

He he. Seems as though we’re all the same then 🤪

[@SewingDee]

Hi Ruan, love your Southport dress it looks great on you. Great T-shirt plans too! I think I could do with adding a few of those to my wardrobe too. Yes, I’m the same - a list of future makes as long as my arm - always being amended and added to. Looking forward to seeing your Ellie & Mac oversized T-shirt - I’ve got that pattern too. I’m making my first one in a plain fabric, but I think either of the fabrics you have in mind will look great. - but the drapier the fabric the better on an oversized T-shirt though maybe? Happy sewing 🧵😁🧵

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

Thank you Dee! I’ve made up the tee in the striped fabric. I really like a boxy oversized fit and I’m really pleased with it! I did cut the wrong neckline though 🙈

[@darrenagar910]

I love your dress , the new sewing machine cover is so much better than the black one. All the t-shirt patterns are great. Thanks, julie Tasmania Australia ❤️❤️

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

Thank you Julie 😊

[@sallydingle321]

Hi Ruan, I love your Southport dress 👌💝 and how perfect was that bias binding too 💞. Great t-shirt patterns and some that I didn't know about too... I love the makerist tee with the low back... really lovely for summer and your fabric choice for that I'm sure will look gorgeous 👍💕. Looking forward to seeing what you make 😁👍😘

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

Thank you Sally 😊. I think the makerist tee is my fave so I really hope it works out 🤣

[@ClaireWhoMakesThings]

Shot putter! lol Gosh Ruan, I’m feeling exactly the same, too much that I want to sew. ha ha, great Southport dress. x

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

Ha! I’m like Michelin Man 🤣🤣🤣

[@ClaireWhoMakesThings]

@@theyorkshiresewgirl Lol Don’t be silly. It’s funny you mention the Michelin Man, I sent a photo of him to another You tuber I was chatting to privately last week, I think we were talking about a pattern that would make someone look like the Michelin man! lol x

[@jackiesippitt8019]

I love your Southport dress! I've made the short version too, and next time will raise the neckline and underarms. I will wear my current version as a beach dress when we can finally travel again! Looking forward to seeing all your t shirt makes.

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

Thanks Jackie! Yes I think the neckline comes down low doesn’t it. I’m not sure I’d raise the underarms next time 🤔. I just hate my bra showing!

[@lindaparker3330]

You MUST MUST MUST make a spring dress xx I'm sure you will enjoy the make xx

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

I’m definitely going to Linda! Just need to choose the perfect fabric 😍

[@Joanna-sewingreloaded]

I love the southportdress you´ve made! The fabric is stunning and suits you perfectly, and the bias binding was such a good match. Well done all!

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

Thanks so much 😊. I thought it was a spooky match with that bias binding!

[@Joanna-sewingreloaded]

@@theyorkshiresewgirl I wouldn´t say that :) I think the colours match together. Maybe I see it somehow differently in the video than they are in the reality, so from my point of view they are good together :)

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

@@Joanna-sewingreloaded he he….yes I meant it was spooky that they matched so well together. Was so pleased when I noticed 😊

[@Joanna-sewingreloaded]

@@theyorkshiresewgirl :D :D good!!!

[@frautamarabach]

I tried making lists so many times and they got so many amendments and .... oooh, shiny new thing! I have given up on lists. I pull out the fabrics that speak to me and that are seasonally appropriate and then I just go with the flow. I tend to make everything a task and sewing shouldn't be one. it should be fun. I have to remind me of that constantly. (thanks for the shoutout! I would be a Miss Bach in English but yes, you were right!)

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

Arghhh….I totally relate to that. You’re right we can put pressure on ourselves and sewing is supposed to make us happy. I’m going with the flow a bit more too now 😊

[@MsFigment1]

You are totally not alone! I want to make all the things too! I daren't write them all down, but let's just say that the patterns have had to be moved to a new home because they were jamming my sewing desk drawer. So there’s quite a few 😂. My resolution at the moment is to prewash all the fabric I've just stuck in my cupboard in the last 6 months, then I might actually work out what I have. T-shirts and T- dresses definitely on the agenda though. Great vlog as ever, thank you, and lovely to hear your Yorkshire accent as it reminds me of home.

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

He he! Yes I’ve had to give myself a rule that I have to wash any fabric I buy as soon as it arrives otherwise I’ve no idea what’s washed and what isn’t 🙈🤣

[@clairec20]

I swithered about buying the magazine with the Spring Dress , decided I had enough patterns and didn’t buy it- what a mistake ! so many lovely versions have been popping up on Instagram. Looking forward to seeing yours sometime. I also have those same 3 books so will be revisiting them too. Thanks Ruan , really enjoy your chatty Vlogs

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

Thank you so much Claire! Noooooo…..I’m exactly the same, regret not purchasing patterns/fabric all the time 🙈. Hopefully someone will be selling off the pattern in a big abs you can grab it!

[@karenbudnick]

Lovely! Perfect fit, too.

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

Thank you Karen 😊

[@valclements7092]

You are not alone. I walk into my sewing room and think “ok what shall I do now?” I get overwhelmed and my mind is blank. So I walk out and nothing gets done. Right now I have the Bardon dress cut out and Love Notions LaundryDay Tee Dress I’m working on. I put the neckband on the LDT and taken it off twice, it’s not laying nice so I think I’m making it a V neckline. That’s all I’ve done over three days. BTW they are both free patterns but you probably know that. Your Southport dress looks fabulous. Have a great weekend Val❤️🇨🇦🇬🇧

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

Thank you Val 😊. Yes I think sometimes we have too much going round in our heads that we should maybe write down 3 things only and concentrate on those 🙈. And yes I love the Barron Dress! It’s a beauty of a free pattern 😍

[@SEWDOITEMMA]

Another tee shirt is the KLP tee by Studio jepson - it’s now available in 18-40 (top body measurements bust 68”, waist 62.5” and 70.5” hips and it’s a lovely fit. Curved hemline, grown on sleeve with a turned up cuff and a neck facing rather than a neckband. Brilliant instructions too! Available in 6-22 and kids sizes! On sale 50% off today until 8pm (Uk time)

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

Oooh I’m off for a look at that one Emma. Thanks honey 😊

Oh and gorgeous Southport Ruan - I’m sitting on the edge of my seat waiting for that and Shelby dress from true bias to be updated! Too excited 😜

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

@@SEWDOITEMMA I really fancy the Shelby too!

[@sewlittletime]

Ha no you are not alone! My list is mega!! Thanks so much for the mention ☺️. Looking forward to seeing your t-shirts made up. I have numerous fabrics for the Agnes. Love your Davenport dress, it looks fab, the colour really suits you xx

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

Thanks Karen 😊. It seems we all have HUGE lists so I’m in good company 🤪

[@aleciacope3503]

You're definitely not alone. If I spent as much time sewing as I do shopping for fabric and admiring everyone else's makes, I'd have a beautiful wardrobe. Oh, well. I love watching videos like yours! Regarding the t-shirt fabric, I'd make the boxier tee in the lighter/drapier fabric and the more fitted one in the stiffer/heavier fabric.

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

Yes Alecia!!! I sit and look at everyone else’s makes and stare at fabric so much I could have sewn a garment up in the same time 🙈🤣

[@amem2785]

Thanks - love this vlog. I used to live in Germany too! (and Yorkshire!)

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

No way Ame! That’s ace 😊

[@NotesfromtheSewingRoom]

Love your Southport dress it really suits you. I’ve got the same patterned fabric in the green colour but I haven’t used it yet. I will look forward to seeing which t shirt you choose for the t shirt challenge. Thanks for sharing xx 😊💖

[@amem2785]

Same! Also have 1 mtr of the green…what to make????

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

Thanks Becky! I loved the green colour way of this fabric too 😍

[@liza_lou]

Love your dress and sewing machine cover. The neckline adjustment looks like the perfect amount!

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

Thanks honey. Yes really pleased that I added on a little extra to the neckline x

[@michellem3899]

Oh yes. I am having the same problem. Can’t decide. I did number everything and then had my daughter pick numbers so I can put them in some sort of order and then I blew that. Lol

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

Ha ha! We’re full of good intentions aren’t we!

[@rhonddalesley]

I’ve dug out about 8 that I’ve never made so I’m doing a toile for each one and will end up with a wardrobe full of different styles all made out of peach bamboo jersey 😂

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

@@rhonddalesley ha ha! That’s a good plan though!

[@catherinejoycespillane6414]

Love your blog and t shirt suggestions. I have tried the plantain and really love the shape . Look forward to your vlogs every week. As I live in Ireland I also have the benefit of the beautiful pink door fabrics and luckily for us the sun is shining at the moment as well 😎

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

Thanks Catherine 😊. A lot of people like the Plantain so it’s going to define it’ll get made up (at some point) 🤣

[@nancyhilborn885]

Definitely not alone! I do have a page in the front of my sewing binder with a list of patterns and fabrics from my stash if I have it. Also put my incomplete knitting projects on the list. Very satisfying to cross them off. 😁

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

Do you just add more and more onto the bottom of the list though?!? 🤪

[@noemir8262]

I just made an Agnes tee out of a pretty double brushed poly knit. I can make those in my sleep now. LOL The Blanc Tee has been great as well when I only have half yard 60" wide knits.

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

Yes I’m a big fan of the Agnes too. It’s such a lovely pattern 😍

[@gemmanonymous5739]

I'm making the Closet Core Nettie dress for the T-shirts4summer challenge, but I'm always on the hunt for my Holy Grail T-Shirt pattern! Other patterns I fancy making are the Sweetheart Knit Top from Gertie Sews Vintage Casual and the Odessa Jersey Top from Pattern Cutters- but they won't be for the challenge because I'm a slow sewist at the best of times and my sewing opportunities are limited! Always enjoy hearing you natter.

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

Ooh I’ve not hear of those Gemma. I must go have a look 👀

[@deannemarino1382]

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

Hia Linda! Thank you. I struggle to sew when the sun is shining ☀️

[@janetyler1642]

Hi Ruan, you are definitely not alone! My list just keeps getting longer and I get overwhelmed as feel like I am just not getting around to making all the things I would like to🤪 The Southport really suits you in that color. I also just bought the Spring Dress pattern but can’t decide between that and the Myosotis! ! I would be interested in your opinion 😊 I have made the Kristen kimono tee and feel it runs small and turned out much tighter than I like😬 I have made the BlancTee from Blankslate patterns before and several of their other tees. They are usually a good fit for me. I also really like the Hemlock Tee and have made several and it’s a good pattern to hack. I am planning on making the Solar Tee by Papercut patterns which has the ruffles on the sleeves. Hope the sun continues to shine and you have a great weekend😃

[@beverleywall3567]

Thanks for all the t shirt freebies suggestions Ruan, I have made 3 off the Ruska t shirt, it’s lovely to wear, and such a quick easy make . Although because it has quite a high neck, this is better for the autumn/winter so this gives you plenty of time 😆. Looking forward to seeing your t shirt makes.

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

That’s a very good point Beverley! That will help me prioritise a bit 🤪

At least we’re all in the same boat! 🤣

[@suemcavoy1847]

Hi luv yes my list is huge ….. then a new pattern comes out and I go down that rabbit hole ….. glad your summer is kicking in… over here yesterday we had the coldest June day in a million years ( really 50) but was frosty 🥶

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

Oh no Sue ❄️. And yes I’m always down that naughty rabbit hole 🐰

[@pamici1]

I so relate! The queue of things I want to make is positively frightening and yet I add to it so very easily. I did make the oversize tee in a very lightweight sweater knit, so it was beefier than tee-shirt jersey, and I like it very much.

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

Ooh that’s good to know! Think I’m going to make it up in the stripes to see how I feel about it. I do love a boxy T-shirt!

[@jacmary6580]

Ruan try a raglan with contrasting sleeves as it does the opposite to what a plain version does, it breaks up the expanse across the shoulders 😀 I made one worth a plain body and floral sleeves so it can help use up big scraps too xx love from someone with the same problem 😂 xx

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

Aww that’s brilliant Jac 😊. I’ll give that a go as I have a smaller piece of jersey that I’d like to use x

[@DianaHarveyClark]

Beautiful dress!

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

Thank you Diana 😊

[@maggiesanderson818]

No. You're not on your own and not wanting to stop in and sew when it's warm and sunny out doesn't get the t shirts made. Thanks for sharing the patterns. The Kristen Kimono tee is just what I've been looking for.

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

We’re all in this together Maggie 🤪

[@halesmoore]

I spend too much time browsing patterns and not enough time sewing. I like the look of the Nina lee dress but I can’t think about sleeves in this heat!

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

Same Hales!!! I genuinely think I could sew so much more if I stop scrolling!

[@janevellenderartist]

Great selection of patterns, look forward to seeing your makes. Domtry the frankie tee. I have very broad shoulders, and i find it very flattering if I colour block, so front and back are a paterrn and sleeves are a plain. The curved hem is very flattering .

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

That’s a good point Jane. The colour blocking option would help use up some smaller pieces! 👍🏼

[@kazuritribe]

Did you end up making the Blanc Tee? Depending on the size, you can get it out of leftover fabric! Basically around 70cm or so! I found the Ruska tee to be quite close fitting, so something to consider.

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

Ooh thank you for that. I love a pattern that you can get out of a small amount of fabric! 👏🏻

[@karenrozanski9231]

Long long list here. Husband asked this week and I skirted around the question. But I do have a dedicated notebook that I keep track of fabric with pattern nos. B/c matching up takes a lot of sewing time.

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

I agree Karen! I think I spend more time matching things up etc than I do actually sewing! 🤣

[@janspenno2241]

Great video and t shirt list might do the Ruska too.

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

Thank you Jan 😊

[@craftymystic4868]

Ruan, I made the mistake of playing your video in front of my sewing machines, who have for their entire lives, been covered in plastic. Not even pretty plastic, it’s leftover from the cleaners plastic. Maybe over 20 years old. So naturally they have FOMO of your fancy new covers, heck, they told me they’d settle for your old ones. Yep, yet something else in the pile of things to sew,the people and now things I sew for……..😂😂😂😂❤️

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

This comment made me laugh out loud 🤣🤣. Maybe you should “treat” them 🤪

[@ohsewvicki]

Hi Ruan, I love your Southport dress the fabric is just beautiful 💕 Have you thought about maybe a cardigan for your leopard print fabric? It will keep you warm over all your tees on chilly evenings. I think something like the TATB Bertha or Marlo would look great if you have enough fabric. Thanks for all the t-shirt recommendations I have added most of them to my long list 🙈 Have a lovely weekend, Victoria x

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

Hi Victoria! I only have a metre of that gorgeous fabric. I suppose I could colour block a cardi though 🤔. Sooo many options 🤪

[@jennistevenson796]

I have so many things I want to make x

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

Not just me then 😝

[@nataliestanchevski4628]

I've made the Kristen Kimono Tee and I love it. I added one and a half inch cuffs to get a little more coverage for my upper arms but over all I think it's a very flattering tee. I think the more structured knit would make the oversized tee look too boxy, I'd go with the stripes and daisies for that.

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

Thanks Natalie. I’ve cut out the stripes for the oversized tee 👍🏼😊

[@janspenno2241]

Blank slate is good, I’ve made it

[@judiesiewert248]

I have made the Plaintain Tee, it isn’t really nice, but the scoop neck is a bit low for me. Love your idea to spend money on fabric 🤣, Andrea at Pink Door has a lot of nice choices. Did you have to pay duty when you got her fabric?

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

Hi Julie! Ooh I’ll make sure I look at the scoop neck when I get to making that one. Andrea’s fabrics are just beautiful. I didn’t have to pay any duty 😊

[@pipskilou]

Cracking waffle as always Ruan! You’ve kept me company sewing up an Ogden Cami this morning 😁 Like so many, I too have a zillion plans and just keep getting sidetracked with other new shiny things! Believe it or not I currently have 12 projects cut out and ready to go including 4 t-shirts for the challenge, and here I am quickly running up a Cami (not one of the plans!) So you’re not alone... I love the look of the Spring Dress too and bought it for the exact same reason but just don’t think I’m going to get the wear out of a floaty dress - however much I want to be that floaty dress person 🤣

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

Ha ha. That made me chuckle. I’m so glad I’m not the only one!!!

Regarding the raglan shape, I have very square shoulders, so I made mine in a soft drapey fabric, and loved the flow. Also I lowered the neckline. Once the sleeves are attached just trim away the excess. It has nice shaping through the waist √
