Great British Sewing Bee Inspired Free Patterns - International week

[@blueoctopus6]

Thanks again for great content Sam. Initiative handarbeit patterns can still be downloaded as normal, I've just done one. The app thing looks like an extra option.

[@Frugalisama]

Thanks, I've just added a note to the link to reflect that & I'll pin this comment to the top so that others can see it 🤗

[@give-it-a-go-vp]

Hello Sam, actually with the app you don't need to print. Here's what they say: "Our Augmented Reality app shows the pattern pieces in the screen of your mobile phone in the exact shape and size - no matter how you move your phone. You draw all lines and markings onto the fabric while looking through your phone screen." My phone's too old to get it so I won't be able to tell you how it works but I made few of their patterns and I do like them very much (I don't use their instructions as my german is too poor...). Lovely to see you, as always. Thanks 😉

[@Frugalisama]

@@give-it-a-go-vp Ooh this is very interesting I wonder if it's something similar to what the Makerist are doing - I must investigate! Thanks so much for letting me know - I only found the pattern at the last minute, so didn't get chance to look into it properly 🤗

[@rhonddalesley]

Always love these vids and have a vision of you watching the bee with a pen and paper, magnifying glass and sleuthing hat on!

[@Frugalisama]

Ha ha, yes & the husband walking past rolling his eyes 🤣

[@fleurrobinson9710]

I've watched your content for a while now and I just want to say thank you for such interesting content and its so relaxing to watch. Perfect with a cuppa.

[@Frugalisama]

Oh what a lovely comment, thank you - glad you enjoy it 🤗

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

Love hearing your thoughts on the Bee. Hubby keeps asking why I’m talking to you on your vlog. I’m busy nodding and agreeing 🤣. Totally think Damien didn’t get the praise he deserved (all for the fact they didn’t like the colour on the bottom of his dress 🤷‍♀️). Defo interested in a sew a long for the cross back top 😍

[@Frugalisama]

Ha ha that made me laugh Ruan, I do that too - did you like my Yorkshire/French 😉 There was so much work in Damien's but impact & drama, seems to be what they're after🙄. Will put summat together for the crossback top, can't believe you didn't want me to show you how to make Esme's necklace - did you read Philippas blog 🤣

[@judiesiewert248]

Thanks, Sam! I loved Rafe’s outfit - loved the red and turquoise together too! Yes please, for the sew along - I would love to make an outfit like that for myself! I saw the Freida exhibition at the V&A and it really was colourful. 😃

[@Frugalisama]

Yes it was stunning wasn't it - how lucky to see the exhibition - I love the V&A 🤗

[@kaywest1182]

I am always interested in your sew alongs because I always learn from your techniques.

[@Frugalisama]

Aw thanks Kay, I will put something together 🤗

[@valclements7092]

Hi Sam, lots of inspiration and free patterns, you really put a lot of work into this. I would love the sew along. It’s Mother’s Day today and I’m still in bed watching your videos. Thank you so much for sharing and have a great weekend. Val❤️🇨🇦🇬🇧

[@Frugalisama]

Thanks Val, glad that you enjoy them - hope that you had a lovely day 🤗

[@dianadivadiamond]

I'm enjoying all the makes from the Sewing Bee series. Thanks for all the FREE PATTERNS you've shared. I like the pants from the German site. Lots of interesting outfits that could be made but with all the restrictions taking place there's so much we can do. Much love and HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY TO YOU MY DEAR.💕💕💕💕💕

[@Frugalisama]

Thanks Diana, it was Mothers day in March in the UK but thank you anyway, hope that you have a lovely day. I've just been informed that the German trousers an be downloaded in the traditional way as a PDF, no app required, they have a nice detail don't they 🤗

[@dorothymarquis7529]

You have done so much work for this. Thank you for the inspiration.

[@Frugalisama]

You are so welcome Dorothy 🤗

[@racheldawe3456]

I would like to see both sewalongs for the utility jacket and the v&a hack Frida top please! Once again lot's of ideas to get sewing 🐝😊

[@Frugalisama]

Hi Rachel I'm working on the Frida /Huipil top & will put something together over the next week- not sure about the jacket, I enjoyed just playing around with what I had & took my time without filming it - I'm not sure that I need 2 & the hubby won't have any jeans left🤣

[@rosemarymorris9140]

Great comments. I would enjoy a sew a long for the paleo jacket. Thanks 😊🇨🇦

[@Frugalisama]

Glad you enjoyed it Rosemary, I will go into detail of how I made the Paola Jacket in my May makes but I didn't record making it, I just enjoyed getting creative without the pressure of filming for this one 🤗

[@deniseblake6214]

Yes please for the sewalong!

[@Frugalisama]

Ok Denise, it's on the list 🤗

[@mrs.robinson1828]

Just found your channel. You are obviously an accomplished sewer and a really good presenter! Thanks for this really well researched upload.

[@Frugalisama]

You are so welcome, so glad that you're enjoying them 🤗

[@pinkderdlesews]

thank you so much, have downloaded the Mandy Boat Tee and the sew magazine palazzo pants - ordered stripey jersey and that lovely viscose from your shop, so I'm raring to go.

[@Frugalisama]

Oh that's lovely to hear Kay, that viscose is stunning isn't it - thank you 🤗

[@pinkderdlesews]

@@Frugalisama its gorgeous and its lovely to get a recommendation when buying for a project. We don't have any decent fabric shops round here and buying on line is always a bit hit and miss!

[@SewJoei]

Yes I am interested in the Sew along Sam. I love sleeves in that design. Many thanks 😊

[@Frugalisama]

Yes the sleeves were pretty weren't they, I'll see what I can put together 🤗

[@SewJoei]

@@Frugalisama Thanks so much Sam ❤️

[@raquelseydewitz203]

A Sewalong would be great! Great selection of free patterns too!

[@Frugalisama]

Thanks Raquel - I'll put something together 😊

[@carolwebb9948]

Fantastic information. Thank you

[@Frugalisama]

You're welcome - thanks for watching!

[@callestra2007]

Love your channel, ideas, tricks & tips. A big YES to that sewalong

[@Frugalisama]

Thanks so much Alex, will put something together for you 🤗

[@sallystapleton4237]

Sew alongs......always 😊😊 I agree that Raph should have won hands down. Take care xx

[@Frugalisama]

Thanks Sally, yes it was hard to understand that decision of course we don't see what the judges see do we - I'll put something together for the sewalong 🤗

[@traceystewart6232]

Very interesting and thank you for sharing

[@Frugalisama]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@kelleyking]

Ooooh, free Fibre Mood pattern! Thank you!

[@Frugalisama]

You are so welcome, I can't decide which to get, there's so many & I think the site got a little overwhelmed yesterday when it was announced - I'm going to have another look today 🤗

[@kelleyking]

@@Frugalisama I struggled, too. I finally decided on the Filippa shirt dress. I seem to be building a collection looking for just the right one. Now need to learn to sew plackets and buttonholes.

[@annettecowburn1096]

Thanks for all the info Sam.

[@Frugalisama]

You're welcome Annette 🤗

[@jennifermaddock4382]

Apparently Esme's necklace was made from recycled hand sanitizer bottles and caribiners from the crew. Thanks for all your research.

[@Frugalisama]

Ha ha yes I saw that after I'd recorded, it was different! 🤣

[@rhonddalesley]

Crikey, is that what it was, I was mesmerised but couldn’t for the life of me figure out what the heck was going on!

[@AndraMakes]

This is so fun, Sam! Thank you so much for doing these! 💜

[@Frugalisama]

Glad you like them Andra 🤗

[@julieottaway177]

That would be lovely sew alongs thank you x

[@Frugalisama]

Will put something together Julie - it might be a couple of weeks, they take a bit of work 🤗

[@janicecoulson5388]

Enjoyed that, very inspiring!

[@Frugalisama]

Glad you enjoyed it Janice 🤗

[@YvonneBerden]

Very informative, thank you for your work 🌷🌷

[@Frugalisama]

You are so welcome 🤗

[@carolyates484]

Sam you did a lot of research for this video. Really enjoyed it. A sewalong would be perfect. Quite a few patterns with this video. Some of them I want to try. Thank you for all that you did.

[@Frugalisama]

Glad you enjoyed it Carol 🤗
