I love the idea of a color palette

[@SewLikeDotty]

You can work out your own on the Trinny London website Use match to me, input your details it brings up make up colours first but if you scroll down your colour palette is there

[@vicki_sewsclothes]

What a fab haul! ❤ I had that navy leopard jersey from FG in and out of my basket, it's gorgeous. Can't wait to see what you make with it x

[@SewLikeDotty]

It’s so nice I’ve ordered another metre from little legs fabric I need it to be a dress I’ve decided 😊

[@carolfuller2941]

Beautiful fabric choices, I’ve made 3med and 1 small bestie bags, they sell well too, I have 4 cut ready to sew and more in my plans, really fun to sew too

[@SewLikeDotty]

Ooo fab - I can see some becoming gifts in the future

[@karolmolpus9536]

You do indeed know your colors! So important for people to follow their colors!!! Love all your fabrics ❤❤❤

[@SewLikeDotty]

It really works and makes such a difference

[@mariabull1947]

Beautiful fabrics Alison love the Nerida Hansen

[@SewLikeDotty]

The colours are so vivid

[@karolmolpus9536]

Stunning Northern Lights 🎉❤😊

[@SewLikeDotty]

It was amazing

[@beachblu6953]

I've made 2 Whitcomb tops in viscose one in lady mcelroy 🎉with soft ribbing on sleeves and band it's my go to top especially with my prima pattern September 2020 wide leg linen pants 👖 😀 ps prima pattern best easiest pant pattern you should look that up your style

[@SewLikeDotty]

Ooo thanks I will take a look

[@jennetthamilton971]

Beautiful fabrics! I love all the colours.

[@SewLikeDotty]

Thank you 😊

[@KarynKeeley-qw1yd]

Omg Alison i bought some of the same fabrics,don't we have impeccable taste😄😄 look forward to seeing them made up I think the Jersey will be drew ( a bit predictable 😆) but the gingham something really summery i think

[@SewLikeDotty]

Twinning 💕 fabulous taste 😂

[@marnieskuse-ql1kg]

Your fabrics are gorgeous Alison 🩷💜💚💙

[@SewLikeDotty]

Thank you 🤩

[@jankerslake5813]

Some beautiful fabrics Alison but I’m trying to be good again this year. I’m sure I’ll wobble as the months go by!! I’ve made 3 Bestie bags so far. 2 medium and 1 small one (bought the extension pattern) I use them all the time. I know what my AGFN gifts will be this year! 😀. Have fun.

[@SewLikeDotty]

I think the bag pattern is going to be addictive 😂

[@brenholmes4894]

I am one of the few sewists who haven't bought the Bestie Bag pattern yet. I still might. Your top and Mave skirt mash sounds very interesting. Yes, I have purchased a fair few patterns that I haven't ever sewn up, at least not yet.

[@SewLikeDotty]

It’s the not yet ……. 😂

[@SewMyTime]

Yep, loads of patterns that “just sit there” but this is the year to dust them off!! Same with fabrics- going to be inventive!! Love all your new fabrics. Happy Sewing😊. Lynne

[@SewLikeDotty]

Excellent lots of new makes for you 💕

[@annsheldrake3554]

I will be watching yo even more avidly as I have just sent for the Mave skirt pattern and the Bestie bag pattern. I will be very interested to hear your comments on making them.

[@SewLikeDotty]

I think the Bestie will be Feb but Mave is in my January plans 🤞

[@andreablayney2175]

Oh my goodness - I have serious fabric envy - your fabrics are gorgeous. I haven't looked at any sales - my husband lost his job just before Christmas so I'm having to seriously rein in my spending for the foreseeable future 😢

[@mad14kt]

🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@SewLikeDotty]

Oh no 😢 hope he is sorted with something soon x

[@andreablayney2175]

​@@SewLikeDotty I hope so too. I have plenty of fabrics in my stash to keep me sewing for a while 😊

[@lindaboby6007]

OMG I bought the same first 3 fabrics you showed except I got the black animal in the jersey. I am the same colouring as you but have never had my colours done glad to know I am on the right track ❤❤

[@SewLikeDotty]

We’re twinning You can do your colours on the Trinny London website. Click on match to me, add your details and it gives you make up recommendations but if you scroll down it gives you your colours too

[@SueTownson]

Hi Alison - love your new fabrics. Yes the Bestie bag is fabulous. I made the big one for my granddaughter in denim for Christmas. I made mine with no hardware - just a matching zip to go with the dark denim main fabric with a tie dye interior lining - all fabrics I had in my stash. My idea was it would be big enough for school/college folders etc - it's very flexible in the denim as it folds up. And as she is a bit alternative, she can customise it to suit herself with chains and pins etc. I did give her some Japanese cuddly toy key chain as well - I fit it in one of the inside pockets😎 it was an easy make - I did follow the instructions carefully. They divide very nicely into stages so I was able to do it in December grabbing 15-20 minutes to complete another step. It would probably only take a couple of hours from start to finish though. I am going to make another and it has even encouraged my daughter to make one!! Happy New Year - see you soon. x

[@SewLikeDotty]

Sounds perfect 🤩

[@AngelaEvers-tj1dg]

Excellent Alison. So organised. Super fabrics. Love the denim

[@SewLikeDotty]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@gingerninja_sews]

I couldn't resist some of the sales. Some sweatshirting from 1st for fabrics and the cream colourway of the atelier jupe fabric tgats on the le hoodie pattern. Only half a metre as its planned for a drew. I've got so many patterns on my laptop, I was sticking the anderson blouse together last night, I get them printed if over 40 pages or not in a rush. I've got so many plans on stash hub not enough hours 😂

[@SewLikeDotty]

That Atelia Jupe fabric is gorgeous Sue

[@jeannettehirst5489]

Beautiful fabrics and how funny I have just finished my whitcomb top, I do like it but want to try the 3/4 sleeves next, my tips would be to reduce the width of the ribbing if using for cuffs and hem band and then you can reduce the seam allowance as it’s 1.5cm which you don’t need for attaching bands I would also lengthen a little if making the cropped version as it is quite short 😊

[@SewLikeDotty]

Great tips thank you 🤩

[@lstockil]

Just wanted to say you look lovely today 😊 Lisa 🇦🇺

[@SewLikeDotty]

Awe thanks Lisa x

[@Donna-iq8lr]

Such beautiful fabrics! My husband bought me a gift certificate to Fabric Godmother for Christmas but I’m still mulling over what to buy with it - shipping to Canada is pricey so I have to make sure I’m choosing some “must have” fabrics! I’m glad you saw the northern lights - we saw them for the first time up at our cottage this past summer - they were stunning.

[@SewLikeDotty]

Ooo so pleased you saw them. I’m sure you will find something gorgeous to use your voucher on

[@SewnontheTyne]

Ooh what a haul! Gorgeous fabrics xx

[@SewLikeDotty]

Thank you! 😊 I couldn’t resist

[@helenslade2601]

The fabrics are lovely and so vibrant. I have recently made the bestie bag and it comes together very easily. When hubby saw it , he requested one in green so he can use it to put his camera bits and pieces in when he's out and about with his camera 😂. I've also made the maeve skirt which also comes together easily and is comfy to wear😊

[@SewLikeDotty]

Ooo fab I’m looking forward to making both 😊

[@libbykilpatrick1578]

Lovely fabrics Alison...and yes made a few Besties as presents and more cut out! I am currently organising my patterns and getting prints done that are still sitting in my downloads! Looking forward to the virtual sews.

[@SewLikeDotty]

Wonderful! Isn’t it great to feel organised x

[@HELENPATTERSON-io5eo]

Love all your fabrics and those patterns are wonderful too I'm excited for you

[@SewLikeDotty]

Thanks Helen lush aren’t they

[@Kate-wf6hh]

Well I enjoyed seeing what you bought/plans etc. I dived into the Lady McElroy sale and am awaiting a little haul from there too - mostly floral lawns, so some summer blouses coming up!

[@SewLikeDotty]

Oooo fabulous I got that much from FG I didn’t dare look at Lady McElroy 😂

[@jonespley]

Yes, I'm feeling very inspired, 3 patterns I've been thinking about for a while, but just hadn't got around to buying. So now I'm on it. Thank you ❤❤

[@SewLikeDotty]

Wonderful! Enjoy

[@lovejohandmade]

Just from the thumbnail I can see you’ve got some of the same fabrics as me! Can’t wait to watch.

[@SewLikeDotty]

Oooo twinning 💕

[@jesspeak7543]

Thank you for sharing your sewing thoughts and plans for January and beyond. Your fabrics are lovely, and I agree that those colours really suit you. I am beginning to recognise some of the pattern names and designers/companies, especially the Bestie Bag, as so many vloggers have mentioned it recently. I do like your denim fabric, Alison and am looking forward to seeing what you make. Happy New Year to you and your family. 😂❤🎉 🇦🇺 🪃

[@SewLikeDotty]

Thanks Jess x

[@joangilmore3598]

Enjoyed seeing your new fabrics Alison.☺️x.

[@SewLikeDotty]

Thank you! 😊

[@jackiecaine3220]

Happy New Year!

[@SewLikeDotty]

Happy New Year to you too Jackie

[@sew_paula9499]

Stunning fabrics Alison I love your confidence in Your colours. I’m still scared to go out of my comfort zone with bright colours I’ve made a few Bestie bags which are just great. The only think I change is add zipper pockets inside as the pockets in the pattern don’t work for me as everything falls out🤦‍♀️. Happy sewing

[@SewLikeDotty]

Ooo that’s a good point - I’m more bold now I just embrace it 😂

[@TheFrenchSeams_vlog]

Happy new year Alison! The northern lights looked spectacular! How fabulous you got to see them! It was waaay too cloudy here unfortunately 😢 Gorgeous selection of pattens. You’ll love the Bestie and the hoodie looks gorgeous! Happy sewing!

[@SewLikeDotty]

It was amazing Rachel there was just enough of a gap in the clouds for 30 mins - maybe another good opportunity in a couple of days

[@susandean4689]

Might have ordered from Guthrie & Ghani and Lamazi 😂😂

[@SewLikeDotty]

Oooooo that’s exciting

[@pinkpaulasews4929]

Lovely vlog thank you ❤ I purchased the same fabrics as you at FG sale and the making waves - such a colourful parcel 😍 great minds hey! My Davenport is cut out and too small too - if you want to consider selling your cut pattern DM me. Happy New Year 🎉

[@SewLikeDotty]

Awe I need to cut into it - hope you’re fabrics are gorgeous x

[@maggieleplan3212]

Best wishes for the New Year and lot of sewings. Nice video today with bright colors🙋‍♀️

[@SewLikeDotty]

Happy new year! Thanks Maggie

[@maz9917]

How lush Alison. Looking forward to seeing them sewn up. Do you think the gingham is soft enough to make dresses for my girls age 20 months and 4? ❤

[@SewLikeDotty]

Yes maz it’s nice and soft x

[@Julie_sews_her_own_clothes]

Gorgeous fabric haul Alison ❤

[@SewLikeDotty]

Couldn’t resist Julie x

[@thelittlewalkingfoot]

Love your fabrics ❤ not a sewing question but you mentioned Aurelius notification, is that an app? I’d love to see them and 2025 is meant to be potentially good for it. 😊

[@SewLikeDotty]

Yes follow will photography and the app is aurora watch uk x

[@judimccafferty8213]

I'm a b*gger fordownloading pdfs, especially if they'r on offer, (usually Pattern Emporium friday half price) and also when the big 4 are on a half price sale. I also order really wacky patterns that I have no idea when I could possibly wear them!I really must make inroads into my stash!

[@SewLikeDotty]

Sounds like a plan x

[@Threadystitchsew]

Happy new year Alison, I absolutely love your fabric and pattern. I am just wondering where do you get your pdf pattern printing.

[@SewLikeDotty]

Happy new year! I use Flamingo Prints I get the tissue paper option much better to use and store

[@victoriaconstantine-cort3091]

xXXX👍👍👍

[@SewLikeDotty]

Thank you Happy new year 🥳

[@karolmolpus9536]

Line w waterproof fabric?

[@SewLikeDotty]

Good idea
