Great to see you Sam. By but you’ve been busy!! Lovely makes you’ve been showing us today. I especially like that raglan top and the fabric that you’ve made it in. Pity I wasn’t closer and could join you for one of your socials - looks like good fun 🤓🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@Frugalisama]

Good to see you Sam. Hope your new business is doing well while keeping you busy. Your granddaughter is delightful. Best look out for that pattern as I have a new granddaughter due in early August. Can't wait.

[@Frugalisama]

Ooh exciting - I have another granddaughter on the way in April too 🤗

[@blossomsandwich4232]

That green and blue fabric is stunning on you 😍

[@Frugalisama]

[@myrtlecatchpole8089]

I'm so pleased you're doing Sew Frugal again this year, Sam. Hopefully, I will have something worthy enough to post at the end of March. x 😁

[@Frugalisama]

I hope you participate this year, we don't judge the makes, so that no-one is intimidated to take part 🤗

[@myrtlecatchpole8089]

@@Frugalisama I'll do my best, Sam. 😁

[@annettecowburn1096]

Nice to see you Sam and glad the business is doing well. Great makes and that coat is really lovely 😍

[@Frugalisama]

Thank you Annette 🤗

[@janetwilliams7705]

Love to see you back! Missed you.

[@bridgethope5375]

Wish I lived nearer to you would love to come to one of your courses. Lovely makes especially your jacket. Pleased to hear you are still running and enjoying it x

[@Frugalisama]

Thank you - yes I'm really enjoying the running - even been today in the drizzel!

[@bridgethope5375]

@@Frugalisama I used to love running in the rain best 😃 not done any for a while though

[@diannessewingroom7]

Hi that was lovely. I made a dress in that green fabric too it really suits you and I love the coat, great makes.

[@Frugalisama]

Thanks Dianne, it's funny how I thought it might be too much as a dress with sleeves but I love it now - guess I'm more used to subtle!

[@LizzlebyDesign]

Sam, you are so photogenic! Every one of your makes looks fantastic!! You have inspired me to take out my Sienna (from 2019) and get that made up- yours is wonderful. Glad to hear that your studio has not swallowed you whole and that you are enjoying the adventure and of course that Sew Frugal still lives on!!!

[@Frugalisama]

Aw thanks so much Lizzie - you've just made my day - I've always been a little bit camera shy but I guess I've got used to it by now 🤣 Yes dust off that Sienna & get it made, unlined it will be perfect for spring (& a lot simpler to make!)

[@ynys_mon6928]

The sleeve length on your coat looks fine in the photo. Good job!

[@Frugalisama]

Thank you - it could do with an extra ich to be honest, that way I could've done a double hem!

[@michellem3899]

So good to see you again!

Thank you so much 🤗

Hi Sam great to see you back. 😊

[@Frugalisama]

Thanks so much 🤗

[@debsmadethis]

Lovely to see you, glad things are going well! The green and teal fabric looks great on you and your granddaughter looks gorgeous in her dungees!

[@Frugalisama]

Thank you so much Debbie 🤗

[@kathygann7632]

When I was learning to sew in 9th grade, we all made blouses with raglan sleeves. Supposedly they are easier than set in sleeves because you can either put them in right or wrong. I put them on FOUR times before I got them right.

[@Frugalisama]

Oh dear, so frustrating but I bet you learnt not to do that again!

[@kaywilliams3435]

Lovely to see you again Sam, you were missed!

[@Frugalisama]

Thank you so much Kay 🤗

[@robynlaszlo6128]

Nice to see you lovely makes

[@Frugalisama]

Thank you 🤗

[@sewsarahstyle]

Ah lovely to see you!! Great makes, I also have the sienna maker jacket waiting with some beautiful fabric to make up at some point 🫣😂. Also really want to make the style arc dress and have more than is good for me Remy raglan tops 😂. Really looking forward to sewfrugal! ❤

[@Frugalisama]

Get it made Sarah, just don't over complicate it with a lining!

[@sewsarahstyle]

@@Frugalisama 😂 there’s no chance of that, one of the main reasons I bought the pattern was because it’s unlined! 😉

[@Frugalisama]

@@sewsarahstyle 🤣

[@aleciacope3503]

What a treat to see you and your beautiful makes! Have you tried spraying the ink mark with hairspray to remove it? It often works. I'm looking forward to actually participating in the fugal challenge this year...instead of watching from the sidelines.

[@Frugalisama]

That's a great tip, thank you, I'll give it a try! - hope that you do take part in Sew Frugal - it's a fun challenge 🤗

[@722dabba]

all lovely dungarees are charming.

[@Frugalisama]

Thank you, they’re cute aren’t they 👍

[@robynjury4403]

Great to see your vlog, lovely makes :) I just have a question about all the free patterns put there in the sewing internet universe, has anyone ever put together a spreadsheet anywhere, maybe in garment categories??

[@Frugalisama]

Hi Robyn, not that I know of, it would be quite an undertaking, however, if you look at my playlist of Free patterns, I’ve done some videos highlighting certain garment types. Also Making & Books has a blog post that has 100s of free patterns categorised. It’s not a full list of everything but enough to get you going! Also B-road in the seams has a similar list highlighting + size pay. Hope that helps

[@emmareadshaw]

Hi Sam, can you share how you change the cuff for the Remy Raglan to allow for printed fabric. Thank you 😊

[@caroltaylor5682]

Try wrapping some plumbers tape round the inner tube of the mannequin to stop the slippage.

[@Frugalisama]

Brilliant Carol, thanks I'll give that a go - thanks!

[@ClaireWhoMakesThings]

Hey Sam, I have a question about the Sew frugal this year please; Can we use a pattern we already own that wasn’t free to start with or does it need to be actually free. It would be cheaper from me to use a pattern I already own. No back to watching your video.

[@Frugalisama]

Hi Claire no, it needs to be a free pattern, so that anyone can access it 🤗

[@emma__sews]

"on a fettle" 😂

[@carolyates484]

Can’t find where the links you are talking about.

[@Frugalisama]

Sorry Carol, I'd put some in & not all, it's updated now in the description box

[@karenbensdon4643]

You could name this mannequin Wednesday.

[@Frugalisama]
