[@Sewingbearclare]

I hope you join again to make the same pattern or fabric. Great hack love the colour it really does suit you. It does add a softer look to the dress it also mirrors the leaves on the fabric. Thank you for another interesting vlog.

Beautiful dress! I would buy this version of the Kalle! I have made the shirt before, and LOVE your hack!

[@madebycathcraft]

Thank you very much! I really enjoyed making this hack 😊

[@sallydingle321]

Hi Cath, really love your dress hack and such a great idea 👌💖. I particularly loved how you finished the hem and it looks so good on you 💕. The colour looks beautiful too 👍. I have that fabric in the navy colour way and I might make the Kalle in the short version with it...even though I have three already 😋😁😘

[@madebycathcraft]

Hi Sally thank you so much 🥰 I’m totally converted to bias bound hems after making my kalles, I love the finish 😊 a shorter version in the navy fabric sounds really pretty. It’s such a versatile garment I think you really can’t have too many 😁👌xx

Hi Cath I follow you and Liz so talented love your makes. This is lovely suits you too 😊

[@madebycathcraft]

Thanks so much Louise! I had a lot of fun making it and working with Liz, thanks for watching 😊

[@lindaj5492]

As a newbie I would find it really helpful to have a video explaining different types of fabric, and mail order sources in the UK. Terms like calico, lawn, chambray, viscose, twill... and what type of garment each is most suitable for. Maybe examples from your own projects; and a couple of “why not to...”

[@madebycathcraft]

Thank you for watching and for all the great ideas for future videos, that’s really good to know what you would find helpful 😊 I’m definitely going to try to do a few more videos now my children are at school

[@sharonmackenzie1207]

Lovely hack!

[@madebycathcraft]

Thanks so much, I really enjoyed making that dress and having a play with the pattern.

Thank you

[@loispatrick2594]

Hi Cath. I just watched your channel for the first time. I really enjoyed your content and would love to keep watching, but I found it a bit difficult to keep up as you spoke really fast. I hope I haven't offended you by offering this viewpoint, but I would really love to keep watching your future content. Happy sewing!

[@madebycathcraft]

Hi Lois thanks for watching and for your comment! I’m conscious I am a fast speaker and am trying to work on slowing it down. I’ll also have a bit more time this month as my children will be back at school so I won’t be as rushed when filming. So fingers crossed I’ll be easier to keep up with in future vlogs! 😊
