My best and worst makes of 2023! Sewing projects review, favourite patterns and fabrics

[@dbdesignsandsewingaustrali5668]

Congratulations on your engagement, your makes are gorgeous, I particularly love the brown velvet dress, looks fabulous with the embellishment, have a great sewing week, Deb 🪡🧵💕

[@ginaseams]

Thank you so much, I'm excited to share the wedding dress sewing! Absolutely love that dress, glad you did too ❤️

[@kazkazzie3906]

I love your sewing projects. I have to say. I am not sure if you made it last year, but it is a summer pencil style skirt with a long thrill at the bottom of the skirt in a floral fabric. It looked so good on you and looked well made 😊

[@ginaseams]

Thank you 🥰 oh yes, I made that one the year before but it's still one of my favourite things I've ever made! The fabric has worn so well, I'm desperately trying to get hold of some more to make a matching top 🤞

[@kazkazzie3906]

@@ginaseams I hope you do. I wish you well with this 🙂

[@stephaniemendes5287]

Lovely sewing makes! Thanks for sharing you best and worst, the favorites and the failures, they all are great experiences. Congrats on your engagement! How exciting is it to start planning your bridal looks that you will sew! We look forward to what you are making. And the dress you are wearing while filming this looks gorgeous, that fabric is eye-catching! ❤ Happy New Year!

[@ginaseams]

Ah thank you! Oh yes, the failures are just are important to share, I learnt so much from both of them. So excited to share all things wedding dress sewing, I'm not sure how I'll keep it to myself 😆 Happy new year to you too, thank you so much for watching ❤️

You are much more adventurous than I am, and they look fabulous!

[@ginaseams]

Thank you so much, I do love to get creative with style 🥰

[@nancyespinoza8974]

Dear Ginna, congratulations! You are a very talented person!... I wish if could explain to us, your fans, the way how you adapt( or adjust?) your personal measurements to the chosen commercial sewing patterns you get, especially, the empire style blouses!...

[@cindypeterson1629]

Hi Gina, congratulations on your engagement and you looked absolutely stunning in every outfit!! I would love to see that last dress that you made in a much more casual fabric like a beautiful summer sundress so cute

[@ginaseams]

Thank you so much ☺️ a casual version would be amazing, I thought about perhaps a lightweight floral linen or broderie anglais fabric would look great with the pattern!

[@TruLuvDesignz]

So glad I watched... I'm working on my birthday dress and with uncertainty, M7999 is at the top of the list. It is gorgeous on you! Love the fabric choice❤

[@ginaseams]

Great choice! It's simple but beautiful and you'll get so much wear out of it. Thank you so much for watching 🥰

[@michturner179]

Great vlog beautiful dresses you looked stunning 😊

[@ginaseams]

Thank you so much 🥰

🎉🎉🎉2024 hint hint!! Congrats!! Loved all your makes!

[@ginaseams]

Thank you so much!! Excited to share more about it, eeek ❤️❤️

[@jackief7849]

You looked amazing in all of your dresses, you are going to make an awesome bride. xxx

[@dianegraydon1143]

Your dresses were wonderful...I think your red and pink 2 piece is the nicest look I have seen with those two colours..loved romantic summer pink..the brown velvet, nailed it...I have a day to myself and I'm going to go back through your videos and see what I missed...

[@patricianaezer1077]

Can I just say I love the dress you’re wearing. Would you mind sharing the pattern and where you bought the fabric. I fully intend to copy this ❤

[@ginaseams]

Definitely copy it, I would love to twin!! The pattern is M7971 which is simple but the shape and fit is amazing (it has multiple cup sizes in the pattern, huge bonus) the fabric is originally from Rainbow Fabrics but I got it from someone's destash. I'm sure I've seen it on Etsy recently though, I'll share the link if I find it again ❤️

[@lisafeldmann9863]

Happy New Year, Gina! I dont think the browns in the split colored dress at the end look awkward. Congratulations on your engagement! I, too, am looking forward to seeing some of your bridal looks!

[@ginaseams]

Happy new year! I wonder if I'm just being over critical with it, maybe I need to try the colours again with a different pattern? I've got quite a bit leftover. Thank you so much, I'm so excited to share the whole journey 🥰

[@lindarogers4188]

All beautiful

[@shelzcreates]

I love M7999 too it’s one of my most made patterns! Love your fabric choice 😊

[@ginaseams]

It's so good! I love how quickly it comes together too, it's such a staple. Thank you ☺️

[@SirenaSpades]

I made the S9326 dress, came out lovely!

[@miriamcihal8409]

All beautiful! And fit you so well.

[@ginaseams]

Thank you so much, I've been taking my time with fit this year so that's so good to hear 🥰🥰

[@lindaboby6007]

Great Vlog as always I love the last dress so much. Did you finish your coat you were making? Only saw part 1 vlog? ❤

[@ginaseams]

Thank you so much for watching! There was only 1 part sorry 🤦 I really didn't like the lining and went on the hunt for some I liked, it took ages but I've finally found a lovely one! So I'm going to be sewing it this week and finishing the vlog nearly a year later 😂❤️

[@vickimorabito2657]

Congratulations on your engagement 🎉 can you tell me what pattern you are wearing

[@ginaseams]

Thank you so much, got an exciting year ahead! Of course, it's M7971 but I've added a shirring to the sleeves ❤️

[@LeaGoesGreen]

Love all of these bold designs, especially the velvet dress!! Did you also sew the top that you're wearing? Would love to know that pattern, too :D

[@ginaseams]

Thank you so much! Yes I did, it's actually a dress ☺️ I made it recently and absolutely love it, the pattern is McCall's M7971 ❤️

I love the velvet dress which is the only one with a different shape with the gathered skirt and makes you look lovely. please don't make it white for the wedding of your friend: white is for the bride only!

[@ginaseams]

Thank you, I love that dress too. Ah no I am the bride!! It's my wedding not my friends 😊 we get married this year so the white version is going to be for a wedding event of ours, which will be super special ❤️

[@ilariagarbati9412]

@@ginaseams oh I seeeeee!!!🤣Sorry I misunderstood...then it's going to be a superoccasion!!!! and your choice is perfect!
