Gertie patterns are for you and that hour glass figure. Just so pretty.

[@sewlovelywithgrace]

Thanks Susan! I hope to make it again.

[@janecole793]

Grace, I love your top!!! The rose design is beautiful!

[@sewlovelywithgrace]

Thanks Jane! I was lucky I had those buttons. That really made the difference! 🥰

I wish I had you as my neighbor ! Loved the video. thank you!

[@sewlovelywithgrace]

That's a wonderful compliment! Thank you! I would love to meet you and sew together! Thanks for your support.

Grace , that Gertie top is too cute 🥰 ❤

[@sewlovelywithgrace]

Yes it is! You need to get that pattern Mo! 💖💖💖💖

[@karlaferdig565]

I love that top and I love the pattern. Great video

[@sewlovelywithgrace]

How 'bout them meatballs????

[@karlaferdig565]

@@sewlovelywithgrace the meatballs and homemade sauce was amazing too. You went above and beyond on the meal. Thank you for having us.

[@DebsWay]

Hi Grace! You got some really nice patterns there. I stayed clear of JoAnn's during this last sale but they really did have a good sale. So did The Sewing Studio on the 4th but I stayed clear of that, too. I've got a few projects going that I need to finish before I add anything new to the pile. I hope to get back in to my sewing nook this week-end and get some work done. Have a great week-end!

[@sewlovelywithgrace]

Yes Deb, I couldn't stay away. It's so hard to pass up. But I need time now to sew things up! I hope to be productive this weekend and not go shopping LOL! Have a great weekend also!!

[@LOVES2SEWToo-zu3kk]

You are so inspiring!I love how you are so positive!

[@sewlovelywithgrace]

Thank you. That's the goal of my channel: to inspire! Thanks for watching. 😃

[@CarolAnnSews]

Grace, I loved your pattern hall. You were cracking me up! You are fearless in tackling new things. Your enthusiasm is contagious! Thanks again for another great video.

[@sewlovelywithgrace]

Thanks Carol Ann, That's why I love sewing. You can get really creative just by changing fabrics and accessories. I'm glad I can spread my enthusiasm and joy. That's the goal of my channel to INSPIRE. 🥰

[@cookeka]

Grace, I love your selection and will use that Trenchcoat option in my next coat. I appreciate this video, it's informative. Thanks for sharing, I appreciate you.

[@sewlovelywithgrace]

You are so welcome Karon! And again, thanks for the Butterick 6882 pattern suggestion. I love the top with the square neckline.

[@cookeka]

@@sewlovelywithgrace You are welcome 🙂

[@sewchidesigns4]

Great pattern haul. I love the jewelry you made. Beautiful top. The decorative buttons look amazing.

[@sewlovelywithgrace]

Thank you so much Chilisa! You gotta add that embroidery jewelry to your makes! Decorative buttons make the look too!

[@LaraSchiffbauer]

Ack! Somehow I missed this video! It was right when I was leaving for vacation, so I guess that's why. I'm sorry! But, this is such a great idea! What awesome patterns you compiled!

[@sewlovelywithgrace]

Thanks Lara, I wish I had time to make them all! I'm making them as fast and furiously as I can. Have a great week!!!🥰

[@sewlovelywithgrace]

Your pattern suggestions always are exciting! Thanks for your help in compiling my list!

[@marylusk8287]

Grace, the top is beautiful and the pants look so, good with the top. I can't wait to see the dress I pick for you to make. Oh boy, you made me hungry what a beautiful table setting.

[@sewlovelywithgrace]

Thank you so much Mary! I have to find the right fabric for that dress. It makes all the difference.

[@Manecoarse]

This was such a great video. I loved seeing all the patterns. So fun. I hope you love the bodysuit pattern as much as I do. Thanks for the mention.

[@sewlovelywithgrace]

I absolutely love your channel. All your makes come out so well and you inspire me. I'll probably make the bodysuit this fall and try your fancy twist design. Thanks for watching!

[@Manecoarse]

Omg. How sweet. 😊 Thank you so much. The twist design was fun and easy to do. I need to start planning for the fall too. It will be here before we know it.

[@sewlovelywithgrace]

@@Manecoarse Thanks for that design tip. It's really attractive. It will look great for a fall look with jeans. 🥰

[@Manecoarse]

Yes. I can definitely see that design with jeans. You’re welcome.

[@brendaweaver251]

Love all those patterns❤ Great presentation Grace

[@sewlovelywithgrace]

Thanks so much Brenda! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[@elainemarielaswell4957]

I, too, own that Gertie top pattern 😂

[@sewlovelywithgrace]

Elaine, It's definitely a WINNER!!

[@elainemarielaswell4957]

​@@sewlovelywithgracenow I'm contemplating getting it out and practicing. Had a showdown with my sewing machine yesterday 😅 Finally put some machine oil in it but then when I put things back together, the bobbin thread refused to pull upwards so I refilled a bobbin and had to rethread the machine multiple times.😮 I have a Singer Patchwork 7285 Q but am not 100% thrilled with it. I'd like to get a Pfaff Select machine when I'm able to. Happy Sunday and happy sewing!!😊

[@sewlovelywithgrace]

@@elainemarielaswell4957 Elaine, do you have a sewing place who can service it? It would be worth it until you get a new machine. Happy Sunday and happy sewing to you too!🥰

[@elainemarielaswell4957]

Hi Grace. There are a couple of places in town that would but I don't know how much it would be.

[@sewlovelywithgrace]

Hi Elaine, It may be worth a call! Have a great sewing week.

[@ZeldaSews]

Your top looks exactly like the pattern!

[@sewlovelywithgrace]

That's my goal Zelda! I love this pattern and I'm going to make a few more. Once you master a pattern, it's best to make it again and enjoy the process a 2nd and 3rd time! 🥰❤

[@LisaAnnSpencer]

That is a beautiful top, and it was fun seeing your pattern picks.

[@sewlovelywithgrace]

Lisa Ann, I'm so glad you enjoyed it!

[@janematthews6579]

Your videos are so sweet and cheerful. The best part of this one was being invited to see your lovely dining table. It is wonderful to know that someone other than me still sets a table. Thank you for all the fun. By the way, your meatballs are exactly the same as I make after learning from my Italian Grandmother. J P.S. Will you please share your embroidery machine in a video?

[@sewlovelywithgrace]

Thanks so much Jane! 😊 I always set a table especially during the holidays! I'm 1st generation Italian. My parents and Brother all came here from Italy. Also, here's a link to a video of ALL my machines including my embroidery machine in the video I made for National Sewing Machine Day. I hope you enjoy it! kzbin.info/www/bejne/bJPWfGCIedGFias

[@vivmomsews4962]

Great assortment of patterns! Thanks so much for the shoutout!😄

[@sewlovelywithgrace]

Vivmom, You were one of my first sewing KZbinrs I followed. So fun! I love that emerald green dress on you. Absolutely glorious! 🥰

[@Nonna_Tina]

I love seeing your makes and that you model them as casual and dressy. Everything looks so nice on you. Love the jewelry too! I showed my husband the beginning of your video where you turn on the percolator. I told him we need to get that one for my mom. What brand is it? My mom and I both have Farberware but I like the idea of the on/off button. Have a great weekend.

[@sewlovelywithgrace]

Thank you so much Tina! I bought this exact percolator: Moss & Stone Electric Coffee Percolator off of Amazon. Here's the link: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07WSWHXP2/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1 It also comes in other colors too. I love it. Thanks for watching. Have a great weekend!

[@sandraobrien8705]

You're so sweet Grace. Love your channel.

[@sewlovelywithgrace]

Thank you so much Sandra! Thanks for watching.

[@Silver_Threads_Sewing]

Wow. You got some really great patterns. I have the simplicity 8909 pattern. I keep thinking I can’t pull off the sleeveless one but, I love the way it looks. ❤

[@sewlovelywithgrace]

Diann, You never know till you try. Maybe get a muslin bedsheet to try before making it with a silky. It's great to hear from you. I'm thinking of you. 🥰 ❤❤

[@ZeldaSews]

See Grace, you make me want to pull out my percolator!😅😅😅

[@sewlovelywithgrace]

Go for it Zelda! Percolated tasted BEST! Have a great sewing weekend. 🥰

[@ZeldaSews]

@@sewlovelywithgrace You too.

[@SewAndTellwithDori]

Hey Grace! I had to laugh at your suggestion of Simplicity 9287 - the Gertie pattern. I bought that pattern recently at JoAnn's pattern sale based on your previous video! Great minds, huh?!? I really love sweetheart necklines and the overall style of the top. Your blouse is just beautiful!!! A lot of the Butterick patterns you bought are the same patterns I bought recently also. I make a crazy long list of patterns I want whenever there is a pattern sale at JoAnn's. I'm able to get about 50% of what I want and some that I do find, I end up changing my mind and not getting it. I predict that JoAnn's will have to re-stock paper patterns within 2-3 years, when they realize they've made a big marketing mistake gambling on their Ditto system and are loosing a lot of revenue. Paper patterns are what brings garment sewists through their door! Simplicity's website has pattern sales, so a lot of business will go in that direction. May not be able to get them for $1.99, but Simplicity does have $4.99 clearance pattern sales and pattern brand sales for $5.99 per pattern two or three times a year, which is far better than paying full price at Hobby Lobby. I've got my list for the upcoming McCall's pattern sale at JoAnn's. Going to buy what I can, while I can!

[@sewlovelywithgrace]

Dori, we do think alike! I can't wait to meet you. How is the move going? I hope well. I hope to do a McCalls pattern haul after the sale. I still have to do a Vogue pattern haul. I bought Vogue patterns also that day! LOL Make the Gertie top. You will love it! 🥰

[@SewAndTellwithDori]

@@sewlovelywithgrace Question: Where did you get the cool paper (card stock) fashion model pieces you sent to Chilisa??? Are they from Hobby Lobby's scrapbooking section? I'd like to get some as I plan to get a garment sewing journal going after my move. Thanks!

[@sewlovelywithgrace]

@@SewAndTellwithDori Dori, they are actually Vintage Girls stickers I got on Amazon: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09ZKWHSL4/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

[@SewAndTellwithDori]

@@sewlovelywithgrace Excellent! Thanks, Grace!!! 🥰

[@Bulldoghustle]

I love Gertie too!! She actually has a Patreon I subscribe to. You get a pattern every month and she has great tips and videos that are part of her Patreon membership!

[@sewlovelywithgrace]

That is awesome! I may check that out. Thanks for watching.

[@socarole66]

I remember VivMoms dress as well and bought it straight away😂 It was a green challenge she entered or something? I have only made the long sleeve dress version though. That halter neck would look amazing on you. Our Butterick pattern does look good doesn't it 👏🏼. I love your Gertie blouse, that is a bit brave for me but I don't know, I may buy it after seeing yours. I stay away from tight fitting tops yet still wear tight t shirts 😂. I'm odd 🤣. Thanks for the mention ❤ xx

[@socarole66]

Update.... I bought it 😂

[@sewlovelywithgrace]

Carole, we have similar tastes in patterns. I can't wait to make the Butterick top. I bought fabric at Hobby Lobby. Yours turned out beautiful and the sleeves look great! Try the Gertie blouse. It's sweet. And DEFINITELY make the jewelry. You will be addicted. You can make it for your daughter too! So fun!❤❤❤

[@sewlovelywithgrace]

@@socarole66 🤣🤣🤣YEAH!!!! GO FOR IT!!!

[@SirenaSpades]

I'm so excited to see a new video from you! I wonder if you might do a McCalls video of what you might get, or your favorites, in anticipation of the upcoming pattern sale that's going to be at Joanns July 13-15. I've started making a list but I'm up for changing it! I love Gertie and all 50's inspired looks! I've always loved the 1950's! So feminine. Your top is gorgeous!!! What embroidery machine do you have to make the jewelry?

[@sewlovelywithgrace]

Hi Sirena, I'm glad you are enjoying my content. I enjoy your comments! ❤ I plan to do a McCalls pattern haul after the sale. I don't have a full list yet. Still deciding. I have a BabyLock Spirit embroidery machine. If you watch my "National Sewing Machine Day" video I put out a couple of weeks ago, you will see all my machines. I give a brief tour of each one. Thanks for watching and always commenting! 🥰

Sirena, I forgot to include the link to the video tour of all my machines: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bJPWfGCIedGFias

[@catherineerrington6245]

Hi Grace Your top looks great, especially with the sweetheart neckline. Your clothes always fit perfectly. Do you cut the pattern to your nearest size and then alter or do you adjust the pattern before you cut. Thanks for any advice.

[@sewlovelywithgrace]

Thanks Catherine! I usually cut the pattern pieces to the finished garment measurement. Then I baste stitch shoulder and side seams and adjust the garment if needed, then stitch/serge.

[@catherineerrington6245]

@@sewlovelywithgrace Thanks very much Grace. I'll get on the top I've been wanting to make!
