Thinking of fine needle cord for winter in the tiered dress. I am petite, so have to be careful, but the sleeves of the first pattern appeal.

Thank you, I just loved the patterns you showed to-day. Although it's late autumn soon winter in Sydney - in the right weight of fabric choice have been inspired to make up several shirts and skirts. I do like your choices very much and enjoy your channel,

Thank you so much Angela, to be fair the Autumn in Sydney is pretty similar to summer in the UK lol! Joking aside I know what you mean, the right fabric choice can make lots of these designs work across the seasons, thanks for sharing your thoughts and happy sewing.

Thank you Lucy. Lovely patterns. Re the "buffet dress" none of us have heard of that because there is no such thing. I think the sewing bee people are just trying to be "special"
@sharongatlin78433 жыл бұрын
Buffet dress means wearing a loose dress to “all you can eat or buffet restaurants”. The loose dress means not having to worry about a tight waistband following a huge meal.
@chocmeltingcake3 жыл бұрын
It could also be called the "Thanksgiving" dress here in the states because we tend to feast out of control on Thanksgiving Day. :O)
@SewEssential3 жыл бұрын
Haha yes I always thought it was a peasant dress, whatever you call it I love them.
@lunasmum68693 жыл бұрын
It is a name for loose fitting dresses devised during the Covid lockdown. These dresses have been around for years but I googled Buffet Dress and found loads of patterns and descriptions of the term. So, it does exist but it is just a new name for a tiered dress. Personally I would look even larger in one of those dresses!!!
@MichelleSewsAgain3 жыл бұрын
I love the paisley fabric! Simplicity still has lots of room to improve their sizing. I am at the tail end of sizing for some of the patterns and don’t fit at all in others😢. But they were lovely styles. That orange floral fabric is divine!!!

Crikey I had no idea dress patterns were still being used. I remember going to the local haberdashery shop and browsing through those giant pattern catalogues. It was always very exciting choosing a couple of patterns for new summer dresses as a child then going down to the indoor market stalls to choose some fabrics. Is it actually cost effective to make your own T shirt tops these days? We used to make our own clothes for economic reasons. I'm guessing people who sew these days do it more for the pleasure of being creative?

Reminds me of the 50's style. Did like the button down skirt. Don't think those styles where flattering on fluffy bodies. Just made all their bulges accentuated.

Why are you (along with some other retailers) doing a 50% sale on simplicity patterns currently? Is something you do annually at the same time? I’m just curious :)
@SewEssential3 жыл бұрын
No it isn't annual it is dictated by the pattern company themselves, they just tell us when they are putting the patterns on sale so we can inform our lovely customers.
