LOVE that yellow dress and the shape on the vintage fabric dress... I always love your videos!

[@bevtooth]

Omg Rosa. The vintage dress is sooooo gorgeous. Love it so much!

[@sewagnes6706]

Lovely makes Rosa. The Named dress is just stunning and the vintage fabric is too cute. Thanks for sharing x

[@talindamood]

Oh no! Hope you're having a good time. We have an "atmospheric river" storm going through right now. Love your vintage dress!

[@marielawlor435]

You have the best style! I love all your makes. Have a fab holiday lovely. X

[@marta_sanders]

Your makes look terrific!! I think I need the Lander pants, everyone is making fantastic versions and I love the look. Have a fantastic trip and enjoy the good weather!

[@helenawagstaff9755]

Such a cute dress, in the blue floral and the zip front. Great Lander trousers, very flattering. Have a great holiday.😊

[@letsgetsewing4445]

Your makes are all so gorgeous! I especially love the white pinafore dress, it looks great on top of your Agnes top

[@CulinaryGuide]

Your 60's dress is absolutely adorable.

[@sharnagraham]

Love your makes, the white denim dress is just uper cute. At first I wasn't sure about that pattern, but it looks amazing on you so I will have to put it on my shopping list!

[@annaleasmith4917]

Loved all your holiday makes! Just bought the slow Sunday pattern as I thought it was super cute on you! Enjoy San Francisco :)

[@rhondaziman562]

This is my favourite ever of your videos, and I have loved all of your videos! Your lempi dress is everything! and I'm pondering the lander pants, yours are fitting perfectly!

[@styleandstitch82]

I LOVE your Lempi dress... great fabric choice!

[@januaryjillscreativelife8095]

Love your hacks, you are so talented. The yellow linen Lempi dress looks fabulous. The white denim dress( we would call that a jumper in the States) was a great choice for the fabric, Love the color of your shirt with it also. Cropped pants, are also great!

[@LizaLutters]

Love your makes! Especially the Named clothing dress. I like your yellow version better than the one on their website!

[@hunterj458]

Great job. Love everything especially the white pants. So happy I found your channel.

[@elissascotland6100]

My Mum had that print in oranges and yellows, in the 1960s. It was her favourite for years :)

[@robincrean]

Monterey bay aquarium is a must! Santa cruise boardwalk is really cool & fun. Have a great trip.

[@lesleysmith7452]

Love your makes as always your so clever😍 Pants look amazing hope u have a fabulous holiday San Francisco is on my list!! Enjoy can't wait to hear about it xxx

[@susietrezise7283]

Have a great trip! I love the white pinafore and Lander pants.

[@julieagar4483]

All your makes are beautiful !!!!

[@giaalvarado2063]

Those pants are so cute! Great job.

[@rissaroo3546]

I like the idea of adding darts to a waistband! I usually just insert some elastic but it ususally doesn't let the wasitband lay as flat. You made some awesome pieces this month! I love the "jungle-not-jungle" dress!!

[@myralorraine]

OMG! You have some really beautiful makes! I don’t think there was a piece I didn’t like… But they’re definitely a few I have to have, like the Tilia dress! I love that entire outfit, including your beautiful coral striped top! Just absolutely lovely! Enjoy your trip to San Francisco, I’m sure you’re going to have a wonderful time!

[@jennialfabetico5691]

Love your makes! I thoroughly agree with you about pockets, Rosa. I always omit them. I certainly never want extra bulk on my hips! 🤓

[@maureencullen1008]

Loved your makes,especially the trousers.With creased fabric I use a dry iron and iron them when damp(inside out)(after washing)Any deep creases dampen and use the iron on steam.I then hang them up by the waist and leave to dry overnight. I find this really helps to stop bad creases .They generally then just need a quick steam iron but make sure their cold before wearing or your body heat will set any creases. I hope this helps. I,also loved the yellow coat dress.I think this would also look good as a lightweight coat over the trousers and pinafore dress,especially with a yellow and white striped top. Enjoy your holiday

[@lauracarlson5353]

You"ll love SF, I'm an hour outside the city to the East in a town called Danville. I highly recommend doing a Segway tour, very fun and easy way to see lots

[@SewHappy]

I adore all your makes! That yellow dress is a dream it’s a good thing we are not the same size or all 4 of these will go missing! 😂 have an amazing time in San! Xx

[@HandmadeByDitsyTulip]

Gorgeous makes, love the Named dress ☺️ enjoy the holiday! 💖

[@quiltygal6981]

Love that first 60's dress with the zip so cute. I can't wait till I get to Goldhawk rd in June I have plans to fill my husbands case up with fabric and he can put his clothes in mine... He doesn't need many clothes :) Have a ball in the US x

[@QuiveringQuiff]

Your Lempi dress coat looks like you've just jumped out of the Disney animated 'Tarzan'! So pretty!

[@maryannjordan8139]

Try Britex Fabrics. It is practically an SF historical site. Also take some sweaters it jackets. The wind off the Bay can make it quite chilly. Enjoy!

[@SewingatMidnight]

Definitely hit up Chinatown! If you want to go to Alcatraz you usually need to book in advance, so keep that in mind. Also, Napa is close by and they have some really good bus tours that will drive you around to the wineries and its a good chance to see the countryside and get boozy!

[@sallydingle321]

Hi Rosa, loved Made in Dagenham and I adore your new look hacked dress😍. The zip pull just makes it so vintage doesn't it. Beautiful fabric from the lovely Harriet💞. The Named patterns dress is great and I think it could be hacked into a shirt style too with a lighter fabric maybe. The book sounds exciting so I'll keep an eye out for that 👍. I'm loving the pinafore dress with pockets but would probably lengthen it for me but it's a very cute length on you. The Lander pants are lovely and have loved other versions on you tube too😊. Happy Easter and enjoy your sewing 😘

[@faydiva8863]

Love the makes. Have a great trip.

[@OhLiverpoolLou]

Oh Rosa I love your makes, especially the Lander pants!! I REALLY want to make them in a bright colour - maybe red or green. Nice to know how you made them fit as I am similar proportions (although bigger all round!) to you - waist much smaller than hips! Hope you have a fabulous time in San Fran! X

[@bellepoupee61]

Have a wonderful trip and enjoy yourself. My gosh, my mother had a dress like your blue one but in a orange tone... very nicely done! Christine

[@sarahosmari7870]

Beautiful makes Sewn and i hope you have a lovely holiday. Well done 😊😊

[@laurajones4088]

Rosa, I absolutely love all of your fabulous makes!! Enjoy your trip to San Francisco. If you have time, take a ferry trip across the bay and also visit Muir Woods to see the giant redwoods. Expect some cool, windy weather.

[@lindsaybroomfield3843]

Love the blue dress, very cute. THe Lander pants are tempting to try too. Have a great trip and if you plan to do a tour of Alcatraz do the night one, very atmospheric. have a great trip San Fran is great fun x

[@andreanneabel3464]

Love the jungle dress 😍

[@BettyOs]

Great video Rosa! I love that you put your makes on to show us and not just hold them up. It really inspires creativity seeing your makes!!! Have a fabulous trip 😘🍾✈️

[@Hannah-pk9tv]

Have a fab holiday!! Lovely makes as always x

[@vimo1601]

Lovely video! Love the clothes, and LOVE the room you're in! Could you tell me where the big picture right behind you is from? :)

[@PsychicKathleen]

I loved ALL your makes this month Rosa! Your linen dress is absolutely gorgeous - your '70's rendition is SO cute and your Lander pants are lovely. I'd love to make up that jumper by Slow Sunday - you know what would be wonderful? If you did a complete tutorial on making it! If you decide to make up one for your mom maybe you could do a video tutorial on making it? I would love that :) Have a wonderful time in SF. I lived there for a couple of years - 30 years ago! - so I can't honestly recommend much, it's just been too long but I'm sure you'll see all the things :)

[@TeaCupCracked]

Britex Fabrics! Go to Britex Fabrics in San Francisco! They have a HUGE selection of Fabrics! Also tons of expects are on staff. The trimmings and notions departments have vintage pieces and stuff imported from all over. It's like three stories of sewing materials.

[@ccrss4970]

Beautiful, like them all!!! Thank you for sharing!

[@602redroses]

Cute outfits! Hope you have a lovely holiday!

[@addiekl]

Your 60's dress is SO San Francisco! I love it! You should wear it to the Haight Ashbury and look in the vintage shops. It's probably gotten ridiculously expensive but the people are characters. I lived in SF for about 10 years and I still miss it. Cole Valley and Hayes Valley are nice to walk around with great shops, cafes & restaurants. The Ferry Building is a must for local delicacies: the clam chowder at the Hog Island Oyster Co is the best, also do not miss Recheutti chocolates! If it's a nice day, the ferry to Sausalito is worth it just for the views. Fisherman's wharf and Ghirardelli are for tourists only but Chinatown and North Beach (bookstores) are really authentic. Always carry an extra layer as weather changes throughout the day. Enjoy!!!!

[@addiekl]

If you are near Union Square (near Britex, try the top floor for remnants) and looking for a local cheap meal, go to King of Thai noodles, especially the duck leg soup, larb salad, and stir fried noodles, with a Thai iced tea. Peet's for coffee and tea, is much better than Starbucks. Vintage fabrics are pretty hard to find: The Alameda Antiques and Collectables market is once a month in Alameda (access by Ferry). It would be your best bet for vintage. Stonemountain and Daughter Fabrics in Berkeley has a great selection, definitely worth the trip across the bay, but you won't find super bargains.

[@addiekl]

More restaurant recs: Chez Maman (the burger, brunch), The Grove (soup, salads), Just for you Cafe (try the beignets), La Taqueria on Mission St (tacos)., black bean chili and cornbread at Greens (to-go just inside the restaurant at Ft. Mason), Dosa on Fillmore.

[@addiekl]

And Mifune in Japan Town. Also the Kabuki baths are nice and affordable for a Japanese spa. If you do go to Stone mountain and Daughter, La Note restaurant is very nearby.

[@katherinephillips1187]

Fabulous Vlog as always, love your vintage fabric dress. Have a fantastic time in San Francisco, my wife and I went on our honeymoon there and loved it. You must visit the amazing four floors of fabric at Britex Fabric, sewing heaven!! Have an amazing time.

[@katesterling8915]

Have a great hols. Enjoy the weather! Look forwarded to seeing what you make/fabric haul next time ☆

[@beckyunderwood4220]

Have a great trip! Do bring your jackets, it’s often windy and chilly in San Francisco.

[@Sewn]

Thank you! I have pack two spring jackets and a brolly to be safe :)

[@sagepreaumx9903]

OMG, the fabric of you're dress is exactly same fabric I wore in the 70s or was it the 60's. The zipper makes really authentic. Ah the memories :-) San Fransisco is such a fun place. The first time I was there I was there to run a race (7.5 mile, Bay to Breakers race) and the send time I was there I was playing in an international volleyball tournament. Neither time did I get to tour the city :-( But you'll have so much fun. Enjoy! What's the update on your wedding dress?

[@minalevavi]

Loving your Lander pants! I am tempted with them but I also have the decades of style 1940s empire style trousers planned. Two flared pants might be a bit much.

[@clumsycolours1677]

Hi Rosa, I'm pretty new to sewing and was wandering how do you repair holes in your makes?

[@KimKasch]

Loved your video

[@janetbruce2490]

I was keen to watch the tutorial you refer to for the slash neck T&TB Agnes top but I can't find it. Link leads to "No videos were found" and glancing through your video list it doesn't seem to be there. Can you still put it up pleas? I really prefer your neckline for the Agnes.... Lovely video as always, thanks.

[@DFullerLisa]

What pattern is your white pants? I love them!

[@empressnoel1661]

Loved everything! Vintage fabric dress was my favorite 😎 what language is the Slow Sunday dress?

[@barbarasews2799]

Really cute jumper. I wear my dresses to my knee too

[@MariposaRomania]

❤

[@Ms.Charlene1102]

Great video... nice makes.. happy holiday

[@Mialinna7]

I love your videos 😍

[@threadtherapy251]

Great makes! I love the yellow dress. Do you record your videos on an iPad? I’ve just started a sewing vlog and it’s so tricky to get to grips with (I’m pretty rubbish at technology at the best of times!) Have a great time in San Francisco!

[@Sewn]

Thank you! No I use my iPhone, and sometimes my boyfriend's camera. We have a tripod for phones which I would really recommend when you are filming.

[@threadtherapy251]

My audio and video gets a bit out of sync when I upload. Steep learning curve but really fun to do! So nice to share a passion for sewing with other likeminded people. Those Lander pants might make their way onto my ‘to do’ list- they look awesome on you!

[@AmeliaranneStiggins]

Lovely!

[@barbarasews2799]

Very sweet dress with front zipper. Beautiful

[@barbarasews2799]

Side pockets would be nice for your little zipper up the front dress

[@susanbossung9098]

You made some awesome clothes. I loved the white dress and pants. Make some navy pants. You would look darling in them. Have fun. San Fran is one of my favorite cities in the US.

[@denbeesewswhat9841]

I love my Landers, need to make some cropped ones, yours look great ♥️. Check Lizzie B 's channel she just put a vlog up on her trip to LA and San Francisco 👍

[@lindat905]

Those buttons are always breaking
