That yellow crepe would look lovely as that frilly wrap dress.

[@rhondaziman562]

all the heart eyes for your jumpsuit! i think it will have a nice vintage landgirls kind of vibe. i find your makes so inspiring, they give me something to aim for! I'm still at the follow-the-pattern-to-the-letter stage!

[@januaryjillscreativelife8095]

The Bloomsbury blouse reminds me of a favorite shirt I had when I was young. I love that you used the embroidered apron for the yoke.

[@faydiva8863]

I quite fancy the idea of using a buckle to secure a wrap dress. Not seen any with that option. I'm really inspired now. Thank you.

[@jennialfabetico5691]

Lovely to see, and be reminded, of your slash-neck Agnes hack, Rosa. We're heading into winter here, so I think I might just give that a go in a 'Where's Wally' red striped knit that I have in my stash. 🤓

Always enjoy seeing your videos and your makes. --Donna

[@thenorthernsewist]

Love your jumpsuit hack! 😘

[@lynettecockburn332]

I love the bright orange linen and you made the right decision in ditching the original bodice!😃.Look forward to seeing your hacked version.

[@Sewn]

Thank you! I'm hoping to finish that today so I can film a makes video next weekend :)

[@demi6275]

The blouse is beautiful!

[@nomfundisogumede2929]

Yay☺☺. Another video. Thanks for sharing

[@venuscode1]

Ohhh! The embroidery!

[@ccrss4970]

Thank you for sharing, I love your videos!

[@marta_sanders]

Loved that embroidered blouse! And that orange linen is gorgeous 😍. I've missed your videos, glad you're back!

[@yomnam2510]

I love your videos! i actually just started sewing and i love it

[@myralorraine]

Great work as usual Rosy! And I’m so happy you had such a wonderful vacation in the States! I truly enjoyed following your lovely photos on Instagram!

[@starophie]

i just made a bubble romper for my niece - she's one, but a little sunsuit looks cute on a baby of any age! i love brindille and twig's patterns for simple but cute baby clothes, and very gender neutral. as for the crepe, i think either the ruffled wrap dress or the playsuit with ruffled shorts would be so sweet! perfect for summer holidays :)

[@lisafenn4238]

Hi Rosa. Your Bloomsbury blouse is just gorgeous... very 80's Laura Ashley style. I might have a go at making this for myself. Love Lisa xx

[@janicek6399]

That yellow is gorgeous, I don't know of any particular pattern but I'll be watching to see what you make I'm planning on making a few little boy rompers (for my grandson), and I just got a PDF from Millie Sews. I also have several old patterns from when my kids were little. I'll look at the one you have, bkz I like the way that middle is. And FYI, I really regret not keeping all my patterns! Good luck with the buttons on the wrap dress top, it sounds like a clever solution.

[@tracyoboyle6464]

Really enjoy your videos and your makes. Have you ever thought of using vintage kwiksew patterns as an option because your style seems to be very 70’s. I recommend them because they were printed on paper before they were taken over by McCall ‘s and you enjoy mixing and match different patterns. With a bit of tracing and your imagination, I think you could have lots of fun.

[@phoebegodsmark56]

I have new look 6446 and I love it I made one for my friend with the top half and I hacked it to have a pleated skirt rather than a playsuit or skirt. It turned out really pretty

[@Sewn]

It's such a lovely and flattering pattern isn't it!

[@phoebegodsmark56]

Sewn yes it’s lovely and sews up really nice

[@leighkadane8713]

Yes to buttons on the wrap dress

[@quiltygal6981]

I really enjoyed this video, a little bit of everything. I love the idea of using that vintage embroidery on the blouse. I am hand quilting a baby quilt and trying to organise sewing for my London trip wardrobe , I just get so distracted by another pattern idea ! I may have 2 tee shirts and my pj's to bring :)

[@StayStitching]

I loved this chatty video and all of your creative makes. I'm still strictly by the book, so I'm always impressed by people who just do what they want. I featured two patterns in my most recent video that would be cute in the yellow crepe. One is a flowy blouse poncho type thing that would look adorable with your Lander pants. The other is a kimonoesque poncho type thing.

[@threadtherapy251]

I love that jumpsuit too! I am wearing it in my vlog intro.....you’ve inspired me to make another one (and check out that linen look fabric). Great makes!!

[@laurajones4088]

You are working on some lovely makes, Rosa. I just bought some Simplicity patterns on sale at JoAnn's and am planning on starting with 8601.

[@Sewn]

Ah good luck with it, I can't wait to try it too! What type of fabric have you gone for?

[@laurajones4088]

Fabric from my stash that I bought years ago-it's probably a rayon challis/poly blend. I'm looking forward to seeing the orange linen wrap dress and the gorgeous yellow crepe would be lovely made using 6468.

[@weaver7249]

I think the yellow fabric you have no plans for a new jumpsuit for the spring /summer. I think this would be flowy, cool - really comfy and adorable on you (of course, everything does).

[@Sewn]

I do love a jumpsuit! I agree a yellow jumpsuit would be super cute- it's so hard to decide when you have so many choices sometimes!

[@jennyme557]

Love your videos! 🧡 I noticed that you often use different patterns for the bodice and the bottom. How do you manage to match the two? I never got it! 🙈 The measurements are probably different around the waist on the two pieces?

[@ladyhamilton5179]

Nice video. Have fun sewing, later

[@mairemcgowan1805]

The Sew Over It Lea dress would be amazing in the crepe! :)

[@OhLiverpoolLou]

Máire Mc Gowan that’s exactly what I was going suggest ☺️♥️

[@Hide_and_silk]

Great video! I'm currently working on a black and white summer capsule wardrobe from Burdastyle

[@AdirondackRuby]

Definitely think the buttons will work. Was thinking of doing the same, after seeing a buttoned wrap dress in someones RTW fashion haul video. I think theirs was from Urban Outfitters.

[@maureencullen1008]

Loved the bright orange and the lemon(all of them really) .The lemon would look good in the sewoverit vintage shirt dress or the eve dress,not sure if you have enough fabric. Whoes baby are you making the romper suit for? My son had the romper in blue and the girls had the frilly ones,they look lovely on.

[@jczelusniak777]

I messed up my top also lol with the wrap dress I bought more fabric to fix the top lol I have not got the nerve to go at it again yet

[@janicecoulson5388]

Love the 8610, did I miss a vlog? Your pregnant? Congratulations! Xx

[@phoebegodsmark56]

Also I wanted to know where you get your labels with your name on the cause I’m setting up a little business and want to put my own labels on my garments Thank you x

[@Sewn]

Hi there! They are from a company called 'GB Name Tapes'.

[@amywalczak-hobbs2940]

What’s your job and what did you study?

[@helenawagstaff9755]

Love sewing for babies, just sewing Wiksten smock dress for a friends baby (IG craftydormouse ) also two stitches patterns are great. Love how you mix and match different patterns. 😊

[@aimviolet]

Have you seen the Llyria dress by Pauline Alice? It's a wrap style dress with buttons along the wrap. When you were describing the modifications you were thinking of making to the red/orange wrap dress, it sounded a lot like the style of that dress. www.paulinealicepatterns.com/en/sewing-patterns/47-lliria-dress.html

[@missticveruca]

Do you have an instagram ?

[@sagepreaumx9903]

I haven't seen you for a while. You look more like a woman (all of a sudden) than a young girl. It's a beautiful look on you :-) How is your wedding dress coming along?
