Oh, there you are. I miss watching your channel, you are a fast sewer and all of your garments are so pretty. Thanks for sharing your fabulous choices and sharing your ideas.❤

[@knottygnome]

thanks for coming back! i am glad you enjoyed it.

[@karolmolpus9536]

Love pink pants ❤❤❤

[@maaiketjepkema7207]

So productive! I love the white skirt, especially paired with that colourful woven top . I also love the way you talk through patterns and alterations. So much information. Very helpful.

[@knottygnome]

i'm so glad you found it informative!

[@ChristineSewsALot]

Too hard to pick an absolute favorite. You had a busy month! Good for you working through the repairs.

[@knottygnome]

thanks, Christine!

[@karolmolpus9536]

So lucky to have beautiful arms! Wear sleeveless until you can’t ❤

[@knottygnome]

😊 Thanks. i'm a bit insecure about them sometimes but when it's hot that all goes out the window.

[@karolmolpus9536]

So Very Talented Sarah!!!

[@barbarajohns6613]

Another fantastic video! The title on this one caught my eye and I couldn't wait to watch. You make sewing on a whim so productive!

[@knottygnome]

thanks! i'm glad you liked it.

[@msebik4171]

Ahh, so many likes, but I really like the new look skirt and would love to see more styling options, wonderful video Sara! Thank you.

[@knottygnome]

thanks for sharing!

[@trudyberry3267]

You've been such a busy bee in June Sarah and your makes all look wonderful. Your niece will adore the socks. I enjoy seeing your repairs and adjustment items too, it inspired me to alter a few things that I hadn't been wearing either.❤

[@knottygnome]

that makes me so happy!

[@robyn3349]

Thank you, Sara! A very good month! ❤

[@knottygnome]

thank you!

[@imsewblessed1578]

Wow. So many great makes. That white skirt is gorgeous and it was very interesting to hear how much each item cost. 😊

[@knottygnome]

glad you enjoyed it!

[@sheryllstarr7115]

You have very great taste in fashion. Your makes are very pretty. They all would sell out in a department store.🎉🎉🎉

[@knottygnome]

thank you very much, that is sweet of you to say!

[@tammymasson2343]

I think this was my favorite video you've made yet! What a great round up of beautiful makes!

[@knottygnome]

thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it.

[@lynngates1662]

Double gauze PJs for the win!! 😁 That's an alternative for mine red dbl gauze, as I'm still not wearing mine. I love all your makes and 'fixes' this month and appreciate seeing them styled as well 😘

[@knottygnome]

glad you liked it!

[@Lorij83]

All your garments look so nice. I love seeing how you style your makes.

[@knottygnome]

thanks so much! I appreciate it.

[@karolmolpus9536]

Yes, agree! At home stuff gets worse with wear for too many years!!!

[@knottygnome]

I don't know why I hang onto things for so long!

[@MichelleSewsAgain]

Love all the makes! Hard to pick a favorite. Great round up Sara!

[@knottygnome]

thanks, Michelle!

[@elainemartin1321]

Another terrific video---informative and insightful. Thank you again!

[@knottygnome]

i'm so glad you liked it!

[@sonialorenzo9223]

Living on the edge.

[@knottygnome]

i guess so 😂

[@blufaerie]

What a productive month, Sarah! I love the pj set the most! I also love the alterations. I need to get to my own alterations!😂

[@knottygnome]

me too! i took July off but i need to get back to it.

[@bogdem9610]

Love that you included your mends/alterations. It inspired me to get to my mending basket and managed to fix 6 items. Most required 10 minutes or less and it felt great when I finished. Thanks

[@knottygnome]

that is wonderful! it does feel fantastic, doesn't it?

[@apwhoa7767]

Favorite is that Blue short dress towards the beginning. That white skirt at the end, although a cute pattern…the weight of the fabric seemed too heavy visually. Thnak you for sharing Thoughts and Process on all of these patterns.

[@knottygnome]

thank you for sharing your thoughts!

[@LetswalkaroundGothenburg3]

Thank you for sharing beautiful video.🥳🥳🥳 Have a nice day

[@knottygnome]

thanks, you too!

[@ShereeThomas30]

I love all of your makes. Especially the McCall’s 7405 Dress (absolutely beautiful), the skirt N6605 and the cropped t-shirt. I had typed a comment and forgot to post it! lol😅 So I had to rewatch your video (as friends do) so I could comment. 😂 I had never considered double gauze pajamas… are they extra comfy? You definitely encouraged me to get to mending my old makes. I have a few that need some TLC. I have the Tula pattern and Have wanted to make it but I just hate that I have to trace out the view that I want since the pattern is overlapped. I’m lazy lately. Right now I am working on the Arden pants in linen but I may go ahead and trace the Tula pants I know it will be worth it once I’m done. Great job friend! You look cute cute 😊

[@knottygnome]

do you mean that the wide leg and the narrow leg are the same pattern piece? i usually print it more than once for separate views rather than trace. i'm lazy too i guess...just in a slightly different way. DG for PJs is the best. it's a magic fabric that keeps you cool in summer and warm in winter. i really would like to sew some more sets. thank you for watching twice, my friend! 😊

[@ShereeThomas30]

@@knottygnomeyes, that’s what I mean. I bought the paper pattern not the pdf.

[@knottygnome]

@@ShereeThomas30 oh, that makes sense. ugh. i hate tracing too.

[@Nina-rx2eo]

Love it! Especially the pink trousers - I love a part elasticated waistband - how did you anchor the elastic?

[@knottygnome]

i anchored the elastic by machine stitching it to the inside of the waistband on both sides.

[@Nina-rx2eo]

@@knottygnome Thankyou!

[@jillblagborne7239]

what is the pattern for the dress-black and white-that you have on for part of the video? Thanks

[@knottygnome]

Sorry i can’t think off the top of my head what you’re referring to. Do you have a timestamp?
