My Summer Sewing Plans & Where I Find Inspiration For Sewing + Summer Fabrics From My Stash

[@RoseryApparel]

Gorgeous fabrics and plans Rachel! Thanks so much for your kind words and for including my Daisy pattern 🧡

[@RachelBearn]

Thank you Janelle! Hope you’re having the best time in the US 🇺🇸 ❤️

[@auntiezann5146]

That red is absolutely beautiful with your coloring! No wonder you loved it! And it will be gorgeous!

[@RachelBearn]

Thank you so much lovely! I can’t wait to start wearing it. Hoping to cut out later this week ✂️❤️

[@Lisa-um8jx]

LOL. The summer five o'clock shadow on your legs. I'm a brunette too so I get it, girl!

[@RachelBearn]

😂😂 5 o clock shadow is real! ❤️

[@franckelatter9829]

I followed Janelle’s shirring pattern and it was very good!

[@RachelBearn]

That’s good to know! ❤️

We are having extreme heat warnings in California this week, so wet and cool sounds good to me. My sewing room doesn't have a/c so I have it shut up for the day so it doesn't heat up the rest of the house ( it's 84F in that room right now). So instead of sewing I am crocheting and watching sewing videos in the room that does have a/c. I never heard of "Little Women Atilier" and that cottage core dress is perfect! I love that sage linen for it too.

[@RachelBearn]

Oh golly! Poor you! That sounds really difficult. We had a heat wave last summer and I couldn’t do any sewing it was so hot so I totally sympathise with you. Crochet and sewing videos sounds like the best plan! Hope it cools down for you soon ❤️

I live in Arizona...it's 110 in the shade at 10 AM; my whole house is 84 degrees! I have a ceiling fan in each room which makes it feel quite a bit better. My "sewing room" is at the front of the house where the big window is, giving wonderful light and letting in dreadful heat. I'll start sewing after dinner, when the sun starts to set, and these dresses are an inspiration! I can hardly wait for October!!!

[@cassafrass098]

Please film a sew-along for your son de flor dupe! I think your red version will turn out wonderfully and I'd be interested to see your take on it! :)

[@RachelBearn]

Ah thank you! I will try to get one filmed ❤️❤️

[@osepatterns]

Hello Rachel ! Thanks for sharing your inspirations ! If you like big sleeves, I suggest the DELANO dress by Ose Patterns (which is my own brand). I am French but my patterns and videos are in English as well. Enjoy your summertime !

[@RachelBearn]

Thank you for the suggestion I’ll definitely take a look! ❤️

[@osepatterns]

@@RachelBearn Thanks a lot ! Have a beautiful day !

[@clairebeasant]

That vintage fabric and dress styles took me back to my childhood in the 70's! Sigh...

[@RachelBearn]

My mother in law always smiles at these dresses as she wore them the first time around haha

[@debbiebrannam8252]

Absolutely loved all your fabric and pattern choices ❤ thanks for sharing

[@RachelBearn]

Ah thank you! Can’t wait to get sewing!

[@franckelatter9829]

First time I have visited you site, very interesting , love some of those dresses. Love from Oz 😊

[@RachelBearn]

So great to have you here! Thank you ❤️ love Oz. Hope to go back someday 🇦🇺

[@denisetymensky8922]

Looking forward to seeing the wrap dress and the pattern choice!

[@RachelBearn]

Thank you! Will share lots soon ❤️

[@alisonkirk5720]

A wonderful catch up and what a weekend you are going to have! Fabulous vintage fashion and those sunglasses are the perfect addition 🤩 I look forward to seeing your finished collection for Goodwood. Last year we were at a wedding near Oxford that weekend and the heat was really ridiculous 😂 hopefully not just so hot this year! Dry and warm is perfect. I think I like the last fabric for your 60’s outfit but as you are going to make them both you can have a choice 😉 xx

[@RachelBearn]

Thank you so much Alison! I cannot wait for it, it’s going to be such a good weekend. I think that fabric is the right option for 60s as it will stand out in the crowd! Thank you for your lovely comment ❤️

[@Twenty20thrive]

You're the influencer who has influenced me I need a red wrap dress!

[@RachelBearn]

Haha yes! Every woman needs a red wrap dress 💃🏻❤️

[@buzzi2k]

Me too!

[@eileentarrant9876]

The skirt on the little women dress looks more boxy pleats (lovely) it will look lovely in that sage linen 👍

[@RachelBearn]

Yes I thought that too! Might be worth trying to do pleats instead of gathers… thank you 🩵

[@abbilily5386]

As a fellow dark-haired lady, the best thing I ever bought was a little at home wax kit! Smooth legs for weeks 🤣 You've got some beautiful projects planned, can't wait to see the process! X

[@RachelBearn]

Haha thank you for the advice! I’m not brave enough for waxing but maybe one day… thank you ❤️❤️ d

[@kristinmccune3035]

New subscriber here! Sooooo many of your inspiration pieces are the same as mine! I am very excited to binge watch all your episodes. Especially since I’m a knitter, gardener, wannabe homesteader and multi-crafter and am delighted to see your content!

[@RachelBearn]

Ah so lovely to have you Kristin! Thank you so much ❤️ I hope you enjoy binging haha I love finding a new channel and watching all the videos ❤️

[@cheryl3366]

As someone who has used sheets for sewing. I would suggest ripping the pillowcase, they don't do a good job cutting on the grain.

[@RachelBearn]

Thanks for the tip!

[@cmk6921]

Son de Flor is from Lithuania.

[@RachelBearn]

Oh I didn’t know that! Thank you for telling me! ❤️

[@kate-emvintage]

Really enjoyed seeing all the inspiration for you next makes. You have some great dresses planned.

I picked up some very beautiful fabrics and off the topic of fabrics. You are beautiful. I love your thick eyebrows.

[@RachelBearn]

Aw thank you Zelda! ❤️

[@yarnmugspodcast9123]

Hi Rachel. Loved this video. Very inspiring and I love the style of dresses you like too. Must keep an eye out for some old duvet covers. Looking forward to your next video. Sarah 😊

[@RachelBearn]

Thank you Sarah! Yes so many good duvets in the charity shops perfect for sewing 🧵🪡✨

[@LaFraiseSews]

First video of yours I'm watching but I love how your personality comes through! Added more videos to my To Watch list ☺

[@RachelBearn]

Ah thank you so much lovely! So great to have you here ❤️❤️

[@jennistevenson796]

I think the Little Women Atelier dress skirt is pleated not gathered. Which probs gives more fullness.

[@RachelBearn]

Yes someone else has said maybe box pleats! So will give that a try if I can ☺️

[@shif7905]

So inspiring. Love all your ideas 🤩

[@RachelBearn]

Ah thank you so much! ❤️

[@jolieanderson7647]

Hallo, new here! Love the look of your channel, will be watching every video. But i LOVE the dress your wearing in this video! Did you make it yourself? Where did you get the fabric? I’m totally in love with it ❤

[@RachelBearn]

Hello! Thank you so much ❤️ yes I did make it! The fabric is by Lewis & Irene from their memory made collection last year. I don’t know if it’s still available but maybe if you search the web a bit ❤️

[@MelGork06]

You need to check out Veronica Tucker! Melbourne based pattern designer, she’s amazing!

[@RachelBearn]
