Thank you lovely lady, I appreciate your kind words, it's such a lovely jacket, enjoy ❤❤ I adore your fabric choices can't wait to see them

[@jeanlee8538]

What a brilliant mix of fabrics and patterns and ideas for future makes xxx

[@jennyturner6399]

Lovely fabric, thanks for sharing 💙🧶🌈🍓

[@create_something_pretty]

I love your fabric and beautiful labels. You are so lovely to watch. You must be more kind to yourself. Especially in front of our daughters, using positive self talk.You are doing an awesome job giving everything a go and I look forward see these things made up. ❤❤

[@karenlowes7802]

What absolutely beautiful fabrics. 😍

[@karolmolpus9536]

❤Love❤jellyfish ❤

[@suzannehill3795]

Beautiful fabrics. Love the magic dress, covers the bumpy bits but have to put ties higher

[@SewLetsSparkleWithSam]

I’m glad you are happy with your fabric. I think a little summer dress would be super cute ❤

[@AdamSews]

Darren took all the Tula from the remnant bins, I didn’t get a look in 😂😂 too funny xx

[@StitchRipRepeat]

Oh that is brilliant! 🤣🤣xx

[@sarahmiddle5028]

Glad you're feeling better. I was tempted by the show but resisted, maybe next year (or even the London one in the autumn if I can't wait that long!) Lovely to see what you got

[@jankerslake5813]

I really enjoyed the Craft4crafters show too Helen - it was absolutely great. I went on my own, did a workshop, met some great people, spent quite a lot! (Fabrics, labels and notions) 🤣 and thoroughly enjoyed every minute! I got the ‘not subtle’ labels. Couldn’t resist them! I was very tempted by the teal patterned fabric. It was very popular! You got some great buys. Glad you enjoyed it too. You’ve got the NL6650 magic dress pattern. You won’t regret it. Be warned it’s an addictive pattern! 🤣🤣

[@nicky-sewsnip5903]

Glad your feeling better. The craft show was great wasn’t it, although the traffic getting there on Friday was awful. Love what you bought

[@StitchRipRepeat]

Glad you enjoyed it too, sounds like we picked a good day going Saturday as traffic was fine, thanks for watching ☺️❤️

[@ZeldaSews]

I love the idea of going out, but I hate the idea of getting so run down that I get sick after I go out.😂😢 That is wonderful, your son is doing mission work. I was a traveling nurse in the states and I enjoyed it.

[@TheFrenchSeams_vlog]

You got some amazing bits in Exeter! Sounds like it was a fabulous trip

[@socarole66]

Hi Helen! Oh my word, that fabric for the 6650, I am in love ❤. That is going to be gorgeous and I'm very excited to see that made up. My daughter named it the Magic dress as she says it's the only dress she has ever looked slim in 😂. It hides a multitude of sins under those ties 😅. I'm so pleased to hear that the Craft 4 Crafters show was better this year. I always go with my Mum to the Shepton Mallet one and it's not the best normally, but I never seem to get to the big shows so it's all I've got 😂. Thanks so much for the mention, hoping we can meet up one day ❤

[@lindaboby6007]

Great vlog as always I have the pink tartan fabric currently making pyjamas, love the double gauze too ❤❤

[@ZeldaSews]

I have got same Super Snuggle fabric and I made pajamas with them also.

[@pinkysfarm461]

Nice fabric haul! Loving that jacket pattern you got. I wish I had jacket wearing weather but nope… just hot weather here in Florida. Best of luck to your Son on his trip. So wonderful to see kids being of service to help those less fortunate. Have a great week❤

[@karolmolpus9536]

Plaid shorts and top!!!

[@karolmolpus9536]

Love the New Look pattern and fabric ❤

[@karolmolpus9536]

Afternoon Helen from South Carolina USA 🇺🇸

[@beachblu6953]

I've made that magic dress few times and it's very flattering made one without ties but the ties is better

[@user-ml6yf7jf6i]

Lovely fabrics and it was lovely to see you at Westpoint !!

[@karolmolpus9536]

Excited for your maxi boho dress❤❤❤

[@cherriesnhoney]

10m into video and i already purchased the flower girls fabric...hope customs dont kill me lol

[@StitchRipRepeat]

Yay, keeping fingers crossed for you about Customs, but happy to have been an enabler! 😉

[@cherriesnhoney]

@@StitchRipRepeat haha...totally are...its worth the exchange rate i hope....such a cute fabric!

[@karolmolpus9536]

Love the back of Cara’s coat, but lapels are weird to me. Good pattern otherwise ❤

[@karolmolpus9536]

Is double gauze hard to work with?

[@StitchRipRepeat]

I know some people say they find it hard to work with, but honestly I’ve never had a problem with it myself 🤷‍♀️
