I love hearing all the birds in the background

[@thedahliasewciety]

They are very vocal but I love them too!

[@reggie7956]

I would love to see you make one pattern for several seasons: basically show how you can make tops seasonal by varying sleeves/fabric/colors while using the same pattern. Maybe feature these tops and their summer versions since you are going into summer. You may already have each version already made to show. I know your closet must be bursting! I hate to only use each pattern once- seasonal versions helps stretch the cost out. Your makes are beautiful (as always)!

[@thedahliasewciety]

Oh yes! My wardrobe is certainly bursting! That's a BRILLIANT idea! I will definitely do an episode like that!

[@cathyledbetter6715]

That intro video with your dog is so fun

[@thedahliasewciety]

Oh thanks so much!

[@gwynethhill7273]

Loving all the beautiful fabrics and patterns for Autumn. Looking forward to making a few of them. Well done Kirsten, love all your idess.

[@thedahliasewciety]

Thank you so much!

[@lynnhunter5790]

Some beautiful tops. Will definitely be making some of those. Thanks to you I discovered the free peppermint top with the flounce sleeve and I’ve now made two 👍. Stay safe, love your videos. 🇬🇧❤️

[@thedahliasewciety]

You are so welcome! The peppermint patterns are so great! xx

[@janmiller1850]

SPRING!!!!!!!!!!! Such a happy time for you. It's been a hot summer for me so I am looking forward to cooler temps. We just need to concentrate on Mother Nature ... she knows everything. 💚💚💚

[@thedahliasewciety]

She sure does! Love the Spring weather too xx

[@nonamehere2000]

I love seeing all the background flora in your videos, as well as the sewing content

[@thedahliasewciety]

I'm so glad! Love the flowers blooming here at the moment! Just had to share xx

[@simoneduff1689]

Yes, me too😊😊😊😊 As a renter who can't create such a garden- as it would be a massive waste of money if I had to suddenly move out etc etc etc, I eat up other people's gardens and houses. Even simple bloody things like hanging photos etc......

[@helenawagstaff959]

Great variety of tops, the wrap tops look especially lovely.😊

[@thedahliasewciety]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@sosewmad]

Some amazing patterns and a few I've not seen before so that's very exciting!

[@thedahliasewciety]

Thank you! 😊 Glad you enjoyed!

[@libbymcculla1619]

love these pattern favorite videos.The music was beautiful + looking at the beautiful flowers + listening to u talk bout sewing patterns-what more could anyone wish for. Thank u

[@thedahliasewciety]

Thank you so much! So glad to brighten up your day xx

[@peggyr9623]

The tops were so pretty and I did order patterns for some of them when you made them last year. I just got some beautiful wools for vests and tops so I am excited for this coming Winter! Our trees are just beginning to turn so the Fall colors will be in full swing in about 3/4 weeks. I get out my camera for those days! Your Spring blooms are just gorgeous! The opening for the video was fantastic too! That bench you use must be fairly light since it seems you move it around the yard for the best backdrops for the videos. I am looking forward to your dog running around again, chasing the birds. She is so cute. Thanks so much!

[@thedahliasewciety]

Thanks so much for watching Peggy! Meg will be on the next video! I promise xx

[@saritavalentin874]

The patterns are great and you match them with stunning fabrics!!

[@thedahliasewciety]

Glad you like them!

[@dianekelsey8910]

Another great selection of patterns. Thank you for sharing

[@thedahliasewciety]

You’re welcome 😊

[@YorkshireKaren]

Great choices, and you garden is a perfect backdrop! We should have been flying to Melbourne this week, so seeing your lovely garden is the next best thing! I also love the Kingfisher woven top, it’s a great pattern with two sleeve lengths and I’ve even made it in velour as a posh lounge suit and it was great x

[@thedahliasewciety]

Sounds great! Oh I love the sound of velour!

[@nancyshaner8548]

Thank you for the heads up on the sewing patterns. I love your makes, beautiful fabrics. We are going into fall and so nice to see your spring there.

[@thedahliasewciety]

You are so welcome!

[@jenniferayim889]

I love all the tops gorgeous stunning. I hope one day you show the video sewing the tops.. nice video Kristen

[@thedahliasewciety]

I will eventually! Just have to wait until I get the house to myself! haha

[@sarahodonnell6957]

Gorgeous makes. Your garden looks amazing 🙌🏻❤️💚💜💙

[@thedahliasewciety]

Thanks so much 😊

[@DianesFM]

Thanks for giving us a respite from 2020. You always inspire me to sew. The garden setting is wonderful and makes it feel more like a visit than just a video.

[@thedahliasewciety]

You are so welcome! Such a nice escape to sew xx

[@thinkerandmaker659]

Thanks for another lovely video. good idea about the winter Round up. I always find that I don’t have as much time sew in winter, but I love love love wool And always wish I got more sewn up. “Can’t wait” to hear about the places you shop xo hope things are getting a bit better for you and your family with easing of restrictions

[@thedahliasewciety]

You are so welcome! I am so missing real shopping in stores! Hopefully soon we can do it again xx

[@MichelleSewsAgain]

I love the fabric combo on your Hadley top!

These are so lovely! You made me happy to have purchased the June Tunic pattern. That top is STUNNING! I hope I can find a fabric that looks as great as yours does. Seriously gorgeous.

Wonderful! So glad you're enjoying xx

Okay okay okay!!!! Love all these, just don’t know where to start!!!!! Thankyou these are awesome!!!!

[@thedahliasewciety]

You are so welcome!

[@robynjury4403]

What a beautiful selection of tops and you just nail the right colours and patterns for your colouring! I bet these tops give you so much joy when you wear them. Some other tops which you may like which I’ve made a few times each and that is the Seamwork Emmie, and the Love Notions Rhapsody blouse - I love the Rhapsody so much I’ve just made three in a row!

[@thedahliasewciety]

Thanks so much 😊 The rhapsody is on my list! I know its such a popular pattern xx

[@chrissy24-7]

Your fabric choices are so beautiful and flowy 🌸 and it's perfect timing though we're opposite here in the states, the season change is the same so great choices! 😉 Ah! The wrap top is Stun. Ning. on you!! 💕

[@thedahliasewciety]

Thank you! 😊

[@maureenbessant3109]

Looking forward to hearing about Australian fabric stores as in cairns we only have spotlight. ☹️ Bought some beautiful linen at Potter & co the other day after watching your chanel. Colours were beautiful. Happy sewing.

[@thedahliasewciety]

Very soon! Stay tuned xx

[@halesmoore]

I'm torn when it comes to woven tops as I miss the stretch but there are so many great prints out there and I don't always wear dresses. Thanks for the great overview.

[@thedahliasewciety]

Yes, so much more to choose from with wovens but I love comfort with stretch too!

[@tracyfrost]

Your star jasmine is beautiful.

[@thedahliasewciety]

It smells divine too! Thanks xx

[@alexandrawellington8028]

Beautiful patterns, you must have a lot of clothes now!!!! Fabulous fabric choices of course xxxx

[@thedahliasewciety]

Thank you! 😊 Yes the wardrobe is so full atm! Needs a big clean out!

[@patriciabee4690]

Looking forward to your review of your favourite jackets that you wore this past fall. Thank you

[@thedahliasewciety]

Coming soon!

[@anneelias5610]

Great video Kristen! Would love to have nosey on all the online Australian fabric stores you have found. I'm finding now, I prefer shopping online. I see you have discovered Potter and Co here in Perth. One of my favourite shops to go in and drool over fabrics. The fabrics are gorgeous just like their staff.

[@thedahliasewciety]

Coming very soon!

[@cherylp.3347]

I must do that Jules top, I like it every time I see it. I like all the tops in fact. Your blossoming trees are beautiful! It’s been windy and cold here two trucks blew over on the harbour bridge last week wrecking it. 🌬spring, where are you.

[@thedahliasewciety]

Oh wow! The wind is pretty bad here today too!

[@nicolewilson4055]

Great reviews. Thanks heaps. I have downloaded the new Peppermint Magazine skirt pattern so would be really keen to see it made up on you too.

[@thedahliasewciety]

I really love it too!

[@TodayinJensSewingRoom]

What a wonderful collection. I think my favorite is the Style Arc Jules. I love the shaping! Beautiful with those chunky buttons. Would you make this for spring/summer? With our warmer weather in winter, I'd love to know what your fabric choices would be. And oh, those gorgeous spring blooms! Stunning! Are they dogwoods? My other guess would be cherry blossoms, but that's because I'm no gardener (sadly). Whatever they are, they're just beautiful.❤️🌺🌱

[@thedahliasewciety]

Thanks so much! I'm very lucky because Hubby and I are both keen gardeners but he is the main one! We love our trees, the ones at the start are flowering pear trees and they are so pretty! For summer time I love wearing linen and rayon as well as cotton lawns because it will get hot here! Not as humid as you guys except up north in Queensland its a lot more tropical weather. Hope you're doing well, chat soon xx

[@Angela10226]

Personally I would love to see someone in the sewing community do a start to finish kind of sew along. Where you show the cutting the fabric to then sewing it up? Would that even be a possibility for you to do? BTW I want to say how much I enjoy your music choices I just watched 2 videos that had horrendous music so I made to mute them!

[@thedahliasewciety]

Thanks so much! I’d love to do a sewalong some day! It’s very hard atm as we are still in lockdown and all 5 of my kids are home (doing university and high school online) so it’s impossible to find. A quiet space to film in. Hopefully we will be back to normal life very soon! Xx

[@simoneduff1689]

Anita By Design is amazing. She shows beginners how to sew from start to finish. Wish she was around when I started sewing!

[@Angela10226]

@@simoneduff1689 Kirsten was asking about things we would like to see her do.

[@michellewaters1246]

There is a KZbin site that does sewing videos from start to finish. Most of her videos are 2 1/2 hours and it takes a couple videos to complete the garment. The website is Sew Sew Live. You might like it. She doesn’t play music. Or if she does I never noticed it.

[@julieferguson7709]

Great video as always.♥️ Could I please ask what the best coat pattern is for a relative beginner? Sorry- I know not related to this video.🙂

[@thedahliasewciety]

I love tessuti patterns and all of their jackets! The tamarack by grainline is wonderful and so is the Sewing revival Mallard coat. I am testing a new pattern for a designer as we speak that will be perfect for a beginner! Coming soon xx

[@julieferguson7709]

Thanks so much for replying. Will keep an eye out for your new make.😁♥️ xx

[@deeeaton945]

What is the black top you wear right at beginning of your vlogs? I’ve looked back at previous vlogs and as I have watched from nearly beginning of your channel, thought I would have seen review but can’t find it. It looks like a seamwork pattern I recently made?!

[@thedahliasewciety]

Oops sorry but it’s just an old rtw too I bought about 5 years ago!
