My Best and Worst Sewing Makes of 2024

[@theseamstressatthecottage]

You made some lovely things! I love the black top!!

I haven't made the PE All in Easy fit shirt yet but have the pattern, so definatly need to give it a go. Well done on all your lovely makes, and even the fails. The more we sew, the more we learn.

Thank you so much ❤

Love that last dress! Certainly worth all the hassles!

[@create_something_pretty]

Yes it definitely was a great reward for sticking with it. Thanks so much for watching ❤

Hi Katrina, another great vlog. Haha, we all make silly mistakes.. i guess not thinking or concentrating has an impact. Happy new year 🎉

[@create_something_pretty]

Hi Deb. Yes small children and always rushing between the next child distraction, are my usual culprits😬😊. I hope you have a great year❤❤❤

Hi Katrina, I did enjoy seeing this video! Aarrgghh sometimes we do some dumb stuff, don't we? I know I've done plenty myself. It's so annoying, but I think when you sew as much as we do it happens! But I really loved your 2 shirts, looks like you have found a couple of great patterns there. A classic denim shirt and classic striped cotton shirt will be winners in your wardrobe for years... until all the buttons fall off and you have to do a full replacement 😁. Your favorite dress is a winner too, that fabric is lovely on you. Wishing you all the happiness in the world for the new year xxx.

Catherine thank you so much. I hope you had a great Christmas and New Years. Hopefully this year is filled with sewing successes. ❤❤

Beautiful top you are wearing - I also made the PE shirt and am happy with it. Your dress is gorgeous (and I will look into getting this). I also had a few fails but like you I just kept going and as someone else posted you learn from them.

[@create_something_pretty]

So true. Every experience is a chance to learn something new. Thanks so much for watching. I hope you love the McCall's pattern as much as I did.❤❤

The Pattern Emporium All in Easy Fit shirt is a great pattern. I have made a number of them now, and don't intend to stop any tie soon

[@create_something_pretty]

It's definitely a great pattern. I'm so glad you like it too. Have a great weekend ❤

Happy New Year Katrina, you will get so much wear out of the All In Easy Fit Shirt in the chambray, such a great fabric and pattern. Love your last dress , it looks fabulous on you, have a great sewing week, Deb

Thank you Deb, Happy New Year to you too.

Do you extend the length of the body of the cielo top. I’ve made one but it sits a little short for my comfort

[@create_something_pretty]

Yes I do. I can't remember by how much but usually I extend by 2-4inches. I am around 160cm tall but my shoulder to waist length is quite average. I may have posted how much I extend my tops by on my Instagram page. Thanks so much for your question ❤
