MONDAY MAKES AND PLANS | Tulip Dress Review | Competition Launch

[@glendavizecky7581]

Love your Tulip dress! Don't let others dictate or make you feel bad about your fabric stash. People need to get o 25:44 ff rheir high horse about other's fabric stash and purchases. I count my stash in totes, not in pieces. I have as many totes of fabric as you have pieces. Happy sewing. Thanks for sharing your makes.

Watching you while feeling sorry for myself as I have a dreadful cold. Want to film, want to sew and my body is telling me to rest. Love your tulip dresses and looking forward to your sew along xxx

@@SewVeryLaura aww it’s frustrating but just rest and you’ll recover quicker xxx

Those tulip dresses are just gorgeous 😍😍. On the front of the pattern I’d never have chosen it - that’s what I really admire is your ability to see past that and know what works. And the choice of fabric. Really suits you. I used your pattern matching tip recently for outside pockets. Result! 👍. Have a great sewing week Christine.

@@jankerslake5813 thanks I just look at the line drawings and not the photo on the front of the pattern. So pleased the pocket trick worked for you, it’s a simple but effective pocket matching method xxx

[@PatPowell-o1i]

I love your top! That colour really suits you. Pat

I absolutely love, love, love how your Tulip dress turned out……sumptuous!

Your tulip dresses are gorgeous & I particularly like the pink one. Thank you for all your tip re making it, really useful. I’m in Warwickshire so unfortunately too far to come to your social group but hope it goes well. I sew, also do needlepoint & knit, which is mainly Canadian log cabin blankets - second one just putting together for a Christmas present. I have far too mush fabric in my stash & apart from two purchases from Simple Life Fabrics & Beyond the pink door when I visited Andrea’s shop in June I have not bought any for a year. I tend to make tops & trousers, occasionally long dresses (hate my legs) & bags + other items. Thank you lovely relaxed video, just found your channel.😊

@@alisonwilliams3806 hi Alison and welcome to the crazy sewing gang. Your a busy lady and I bet your stash is amazing xxx

I'm on video catch up😂 been helping my daughter to move so I'm more paintbrush than sewing machine😂. Love the tulip dress Christine. I have made quite a few errors buying online the past few years, physical shops seem to getting thin on the ground, such a shame.

Fantastic tulip dress and looking forward to seeing your next one with the beautiful linen from Sew different.

[@The_Gemini_Stitcher]

@@stellaberrelly5377 cutting it out today. Will need to do a narrow shoulder adjustment for the long sleeves to work🤞

[@brenholmes4894]

My cats love quilts and take ownership of every quilt I make. I wish there were some dressmaking retail options where I live. For me, it's online or nothing! I have a local quilt shop, but she only sells quilting cottons. Love your Tulip dresses, particularly the Tula Pink one. I'm looking forward to the sew along, although I don't have the book yet! Just counted up my fabrics, was easy as they are all in a spreadsheet. I have 57! The number is coming down, but it still amounts to 119m and it doesn't include my quilting fabric.

[@The_Gemini_Stitcher]

@@brenholmes4894 maybe you need to open a shop? Where do you live? I’m on a mission to half my stash by the end of the year! Xxx

[@LyndaCormack-l3x]

[@sweetcharlotte2286]

Hi Christine. As always I love your tulip dress but I also love the top you have on. Would you mind letting me know what pattern it is. Thankyou.

[@cpemg]

Lovely dress. How easy would it be to add a back zip and step into it instead of pulling it over the top?

[@chrissycrompton7585]

Love your tulip dress Christine. Oooh and your competition is exciting! 😊 thanks for another great vlog 😊 I can't find the FB link for the Millhouse Sewing Sewcial? 🤔 can you please help?

Just out of interest what length of stitch did you use for the top stitching and did you buy the top stitching thread. Love the dress

[@InAgatasCottage]
