@Heavenly Majestic Warrior thank you so so much

[@sheryllstarr7115]

I had the biggest smile on my face while watching you make these garments. Everyone of them look so amazing. I saw myself wearing them also.😃 Thank you so much for sharing your ideals....Always, Sheryll

[@SewArtyAnna]

Made myself a skirt in Ankara fabric this weekend. It looks great on a hanger but not on me 😢. The suggestion was 2yds gathered but it is too much on my frame. I can’t face unpicking it all! I’ll have to though. Love how fun the fabrics are. Your projects are great.

[@wellnesscloud9887]

You always have a warm wonderful smile which shines through even through the Podcast.. love your energy 🤩

[@Sammy-cy4tj]

These are some beautiful makes, and the fabric choices are so vibrant . Well done

Hi Juliet, what lovely garments, all of the fabric is fabulous. It’s so good to see you on your channel again. I’ve missed you. You asked how we stored our A4 patterns. I store mine in plastic A4 envelopes, the type with the little snap at the back,they are very inexpensive in fact I bought a dozen from Aldi. Congratulations on writing your book. I look forward to seeing you again soon.🇦🇺🧵🪡

[@JulietUzor_]

I’ve missed coming on KZbin too! I hope to be a lot more regular. Thanks so much for your kind kind words and great idea. Have a lovely weekend 💕💕💕

[@sarahjocker5059]

Juliet I must say what a beautiful video you shared with us. Your makes are JUST AMAZING. What a joy to see you sew with our native ANKARA AFRICAN WAX FABRICS. Your choice is great and those patterns are a great example to see African fabric worn in cotton some of the fabrics you mentioned are also mixed that is fine. Beautiful like you and this encouraged people to go out and buy African Fabrics it can be 100% cotton or mixed it is just colourful but great for summer. Brava to you and thank you so much for sharing XXXX

SJ!!!! Thanks so much 💕💕💕How are you and your beautiful family?

[@sarahjocker5059]

Thanks so much 💕

[@shambolicsewist3836]

That ankara Belemnite it gorgeous. I love the belemnite, so i might have to give it a go in ankara!

[@JulietUzor_]

It’s a delightful pattern, honestly! I love it💕💕💕

[@diedrecallam]

"I don't feel like being a genius." I love it! LOL. Your authenticity is so appreciated. Your pics are beautiful. I'm doing wayyyy too much - planning to mix patterns and draft items with very little time to go. I'm a bit too excited to be properly participating in the Ankara Appreciation Week challenge this year. 😅 Your picks and pairings are beautiful.

[@diedrecallam]

*picks are beautiful.

[@blufaerie]

My goodness, how beautiful!!!! I particularly loved the first one with the hidden button placket!!! But the rainbow dress was astounding! I also love how you adjusted the second pattern to suit you. Wise choice! For my patterns, I have them printed at my local sew shop A0, and I roll them and store them standing up. I trace all of my patterns to preserve the original.I

[@JulietUzor_]

Aha! I like that idea. Thanks so much for sharing 💕

[@Iamgone1961]

Beautiful 👏👏👏👏

[@JulietUzor_]

Thanks so much

[@karenminet9275]

I store mine in 9 x 12 clear plastic envelopes that snap shut. I can see the drawing of the garment warily then store them under Tops, Pants, Skirts! Dresses! AND coats.

[@JulietUzor_]

Now this is an organised idea. I need to create sew rooms as well as a neat storage for the patterns. Do you iron out the paper patterns before using them?

[@victoriaconstantine-cort3091]

Thank you very much!!! Just love the colours of the fabrics!! And I admire your skills!! x

[@JulietUzor_]

Thanks so much

[@mazubamwale4628]

This so inspirational. I have so much Ankara fabric I will take time and slowly make something beautiful one of these days. Well done on your two books looking forward to more. ❤️❤️

[@JulietUzor_]

Ahhhh… thanks so much Mazuba💕

[@Craftytutu]

Such beautiful fabrics 😍 I love everything you’ve made🤷‍♀️😂 My husband gave me the new GBSB book for my birthday last week and I was SO delighted that I actually cried! 🥰

[@JulietUzor_]

😲😲😲 Sharon!!! Thanks so so much for sharing this! The smile on my face is so wide right now. Happy birthday to you and I wish you and your family all the very best 💕💕

[@sheryllawrence6639]

I feel that way a lot of times!

[@sampleworks9432]

First; congratulations on the books❣️. A labour of love! Second, the Ankara fabric creations are stunning…my favourite is the swirly striped dress, so flattering on you. I did giggle at your resistance to sewing a dress that was going to take too much brain power…I have had that reaction a few times too. And sometimes a fabric lives in our stash simply to give visual pleasure and spark our creative juices…that’s my story and I am sticking to it lol. Last, your request for how to cover your back in the open dress (another stunner😍) the black tank top certainly worked but perhaps you might cut it up and insert it permanently? It has good stretch and eliminates the thicker straps. All were beautifully done, so happy for you to get in some solid and peaceful sewing time. Congratulations again on your accomplishments ❣️. Stay safe 🙏🏻

[@JulietUzor_]

Ooohh…. I love it! Visual pleasure 🥰🥰🥰 Thank you so so much, Jacqui 💕❤️🤎

[@85thAndWade]

Congrats on the books, what a beautiful accomplishment. Those makes are so lovely.

[@imaanadams5987]

I also just want to sew, as a beginner I really hated the pattern cutting process. at least now I like it much better. I love your fabrics and the patterns you'll be using

[@JulietUzor_]

Thanks so so much

[@rebeccaaguilar7791]

Awesome

[@jacquelinegreen4318]

Juliet I like all 5 of your outfits. I really like the dress with the swirls and they all look very nice on you.

[@majellabrooks8486]

WOW Each outfit beautiful, love how you seriously think out what material patterns work best with the sewing patterns. X

[@JulietUzor_]

Majella!!!! Thanks so much. This means so much 💕

[@thesewingtrolleydolly7736]

Hi Juliet, the fabric choices for the patterns were spot on. All of them were beautiful.😍 I store my patterns in a variety of ways including A4 pattern paper envelopes, A4 plastic folders and reuse and pretty packaging which comes in the post. Congratulations on your book releases, you deserve every success that comes your way.👏🏾🥰

[@JulietUzor_]

Aha! I love the idea of using those folders. Thanks so so much ❤️

[@helendexter8248]

I really love your Belemnite dress, looks so good!

[@JulietUzor_]

Thanks so so much Helen

[@roseowusu4123]

You are amazing I love to make dress like you do, Am so proud of you.

[@craftymystic4868]

We are waiting here in the US to get our hands on the GBB book. Love all your makes, and glad to see I’m not the only one who pieces together all the teeny pieces of my interfacing. I batch sew, batch cut, and batched interfacing just last week. Still, scraps of interfacing!

[@JulietUzor_]

😂😂😂 it’s like piecing together the parts of a jigsaw puzzle 😂😂 I love collecting interfacing

[@glendajohnson3580]

I love the colors l wish l would make them myself.

[@gayleenblewitt3875]

Haha 😂 the reason I have my favourite fabrics for years is because am scared to botch it and simply don’t want to cut into it 😂

[@caoakley2157]

Hi - that hearts Ankara would make a fab IAM Irma rather than Belemnite... Lovely fabric and pattern ideas. x

[@lenaking6114]

Great makes Juliet. That belemite dress though, it's gorgeous! Great call for the change of fabric on that one. Looking forward to Ankara Appreciation Week!

[@JulietUzor_]

I’m so excited too, Lena 💃🏽💃🏽

Great job! I loved everything, thanks sooo much for sharing your knowledge!❤️❤️❤️

Beautiful. Thanks for sharing and congratulations for the books :)

Thanks so much Delphine

[@EileenR11]

Fabulous Juliet - such an inspirational video. I love Ankara fabric but do struggle to find ways to sew it that work for me. I love your Bloomsbury - your style and fabric choice realty transform a top that can look quite fussy. Also the Belemnite. I have that pattern but would never have thought of the waxprint option. For the sundress - I think I might try a simple white tee or body suit with a very short sleeve as a layering piece.

[@JulietUzor_]

Ooohhhh. Okay I’ll try it with a bodysuit. Thanks so much Eileen 💕

[@IyareCaroline-tl2tk]

Thank u ,please add do u do for the back plint

[@karenminet9275]

I believe it is an inverted pleat.

[@kateokolo]

Thank you

[@mtebraak1]

Wowww, all garments are beautiful styles. Great fabrics.like the last one with a white blouse and big sleeves i think can work. How did u wear it? U keep pieces of interfacing in a box instead growing it away. I do the same vous u can use those pieces no need too trow it away ;-)

[@m9larob]

What is that metal ruler you used for buttonholes. Totally need that!

[@JulietUzor_]

Ohh.. Shirbie… it’s so good. It’s called a simflex ruler I believe amzn.to/3AlyzZ2

Hi, I have some Ankara and don't know what to make. I don't want to ruin it with the wrong style. Also, when is the printed copy of your book being released? I pre-ordered over a month ago.
