Huge Summer Fabric Haul + July Sewing Plans

[@joulsw3739]

Yes to matching cherry shorts 🍒 Love the platypus and sea dragon fabrics. So joyful. Looking forward to seeing your makes with those.

[@SewMyTime]

Yes of course to the cherry shorts! Your fabric for the duster is going to look so good. I made a pale pink patterned one ( large print) and love it. You have some gorgeous new fabrics and seeing your joy with them makes me smile too. You are going to be very busy. 😊. Happy Sewing. Lynne

[@RipperSeams]

I love a long floaty cardigan in summer so I can see myself making one of these every year. Can’t wait to try some of the different options next time. Thanks for watching 😊

[@JulieH1958]

Morning from sunny warm Australia (not!). Just found your channel and just enjoyed your vlog so much. Bubalo bill huh? What a quintessential memory from childhood! Some amazing fabrics and I’m loving the look of the Marilyn dress. Actually off to Spotlight today with mum, so I know where I’ll be heading. Looking forward to following your journey .

[@catherinewithall8344]

Just found your podcast, great one! Love the blouse you are wearing 😊

[@annettecowburn-sz8cq]

Wow 👌 just stunning fabrics.

Miraflex thread game changer for knits

[@RipperSeams]

I’ve got Miraflex thread but my old machine didn’t like it at all. Not tried on my new one yet… guess that’s something to try later this week 😊

[@maryfagan9592]

@@RipperSeams I turned my tension down and my stitch length was about 2.5 ,lots of testing though Used on viscose jersey

[@lovesredsews]

What fun fabrics. I absolutely love the sea creatures fabric, such beautiful colours 😍

[@RipperSeams]

Love fun fabrics…. And fabrics that require you to wear sunglasses just to look at them they’re that bright 😜

[@TheFrenchSeams_vlog]

Hahaha love the intro! What amazing fabric!!!!!!!! That platypus 😍😍😍 Such bright joyful colours

[@caronlever2019]

Lovely prints the sea dragon fabric is AMAZING X

[@riahenley9974]

All gorgeous fabric….😊🇦🇺

[@beverleymatthews354]

Really enjoy your videos, lovely fabrics and Spotlight is my happy place 😀

[@RipperSeams]

Thank you! Spotlight would be my happy place too if it was closer. Need to not look at their website for a bit, lest I be tempted some more 😜

[@TIMAbyFK]

Beautiful fabrics and I’m looking forward to your upcoming makes!!

[@RipperSeams]

Me too… now the dilemma of picking patterns. The decision paralysis is real!! 😬

[@AvrilBrown-ld6gm]

Wow - what an amazing fabric haul!🎉 I love the ice cream fabric - I'm not sure we'd have an equivalent in the UK - Mr Whippy? Doesn't have quite the same impact 😍. I don't want to gush but your videos always make me smile so keep em coming ❤

[@RipperSeams]

Hehe… I don’t think a Fab would be able to pull a fabric print off like a Bubble o’ Bill… despite being equally delicious! Thanks for watching 😊

[@vidananovazelandia]

Hey yeah from New Zealand, we also have a spotlight store here. The have a amazing range of prints, love them

[@RipperSeams]

High 5 to NZ! Enjoy your Spotlight. I really need to unsubscribe to their emails. I keep getting tempted. My sister in law will kill me if I order any more! 😜

[@debradollisson9551]

Have you thought that instead of lining the dress, make a slip which you could then wear under the white gingham.💜

[@RipperSeams]

My normal go to is a slip or camisole (Marks and Spencer’s does a roaring trade from me!) but would like to learn how to line garments properly when I need to so on the look out for projects where I could try this…. And actually did try lining with my latest make. The lining was relatively fine but the dress itself was a disaster. New video incoming! 😁

[@lizann3058]

Lovely fabrics... 🇦🇺 🐨

[@maryjopreti2627]

Thanks for the videos. It’s a fun watch! I watched several of them and love your fabric choices. One request, which may be more applicable more to the other videos I watched; when you put an insert up with the video (a pattern etc) leave it up much longer.

[@RipperSeams]

The hanks for watching… have been leaving them up a bit longer lately. Hope that’s working out better ☺️

[@jacquihooper158]

Love all the fabrics what a great haul. Unfortunately in NZ we don’t get the selection of fabrics they do in Spotlight Aussie.

[@RipperSeams]

They’re cool, aren’t they. I’m lucky to have an enabler in Oz to get them to me 😜Thanks for watching!

Buffalo Bill! Love your fabric... Was at Spotlight in march and really had to control myself. We had in nz too. I think it was called buffalo but now I'm doubting myself

[@jenniferewart]

Such a great selection of fabrics......I'll be off to Sydney next February supposedly to visit my daughter, but I'm actually just using her as a reason to pop into Spotlight 😁😁😁😁😂😂😂😂

[@RipperSeams]

Hehe.. take an empty suitcase 😜

[@btd3375]

😉

[@er66an]

Such bold fabric choices

[@RipperSeams]

They are… but I’ve been wearing grey and khaki for too long. Time for some fun and colour ☺️

[@ChristineSewsALot]

You can’t have too many easy, flowy, summer dresses.

[@RipperSeams]

Too right! I did make sure I had enough meterage to get a dress of some sort out of most of them. Just now need to decide which ones!! 😊

[@create_something_pretty]

I love the fabrics you choose. So bright and cheerful. I have no idea what to make with poplin. I have made a shirt but it's a bit stiff. I wonder if it will soften with wear. I looove the top you are wearing. The fabric is beautiful. I could totally wear that colour. Inspo for our summer. I think fabric bans are totally over rated and unrealistic 😅😂. Yep. I broke my ban too. I'm looking forward to seeing what you make. Have a lovely week❤❤

[@angelalysandrou4830]

You have some gorgeous fabrics. I also love the Donny shirt, I’ve just made my sixth one. Will you be at Julys Southern Sewcial

[@RipperSeams]

High five for the Donny Shirt love 🙌🏻 🥰 Not at the July Sewcial as it clashes with an archery competition but will hopefully be there for the ones later in the year. Thanks for watching!

[@angeliaharron]

I adore ellie whittaker designs but don't have any way of getting them in the uk, does your sil want a job?haha! The leafy seas is incredible and I can't wait to see what you make with it. Angela

[@RipperSeams]

Hehe… Ellie does such fun designs, doesn’t she. Do keep an eye out on her personal website as she releases special drops on there occasionally which will ship internationally. Resisted her last collection… just 😜

[@becswift2988]

Happy to do a swap! I send you Spotlight fabrics you send me Minerva 😂

[@kathymcconville6428]

Such gorgeous fabrics and great plans. I love the way you give us a good look at the fabrics. Your videos seem very professional. Do you work in technology? Anxious to see all that you make. Happy sewing.

[@RipperSeams]

I’m glad you’re enjoying my videos. No professional tech skills I’m afraid… just a bit of creativity and willingness to try new things. Seems to be working so far! Looking forward to sharing my makes in future. Watch this space!!! 😊

[@kathymcconville6428]

@@RipperSeams Well, you are very good at making your videos look professional so it's working.

[@SageASoreng]

you could always have a segment with comment answers... I have a comment/question .... what inspires you to sew?

[@RipperSeams]

Aha… you’re in luck. I’ve done a call for questions in a couple of my recent videos so there is a Q&A video coming soon. Great question, by the way. I’ll add it to my list. Thanks for watching! ☺️
