@@ZeldaSews Hi Zelda, that's great to know. Thanks for watching 😊

Congratulations on winning the voucher. You picked a lot of great items. I loved Keelie's KZbin channel.

[@justletmesew]

@@heatherbowser3635 Hi, thank you. Yes, Keelie! I really enjoyed her channel too, I hope she starts vlogging again one day.

@@judithfletcher287 Thank you, it's hanging on the washing line as we speak!

Lovely prize picks - great that they have longevity too. I've been lucky enough to have been given a voucher for Minerva as a leaving gift from my last job, so I need to get on and start thinking about what I want to buy with that. X

[@justletmesew]

@@SewVeryLaura Thanks Laura. Your Minerva voucher sounds great, so much for you to choose from x

Love your prize picks! What a lovely surprise 🎉

@@theyorkshiresewgirl Thanks Ruan, it was a brilliant surprise!

Hi Tania. Congratulations on winning the Sew Essential prize 🏆 love your sleeveless Marnie. I’ve done a front/ back flip hack too with short sleeves. They’re perfect for summer ❤

[@justletmesew]

@@donnac_sews4941 Hi Donna, what alterations did you make for the front/back flip? I love the marnie 😆

[@donnac_sews4941]

Me too! I don’t add the shoulder ruffles, yet 😆. Like you I lengthened both the and front and back yokes and fully lined the front. But added a facing to the back neckline. I just squeezed it out of 1.75m of fabric - Pattern Tetris 🤪 more hacks are planned!

[@evasaker2476]

Congrats on winning such a fab price! I know the feeling, I nearly fell over backwards when I won one of the major prizes on Sew april blouse 2023! And same as you, I NEVER win anything ☺️ I picked a couple of gorgeous fabrics for my voucher and as it always is, I’m too worried to cut into them 🙄

[@justletmesew]

@@evasaker2476 congratulations to you too! Where was your prize for? Beautiful fabrics can be intimidating and there's the fear of regret, but go for it, I'm sure you'll love your makes 😊

[@lynngates1662]

What a nice prize! Happy to see all your Closet Core patterns - they do not disappoint! 😉 I think Named goes by 5'9", so yes, pretty tall. Which I love! The Keilo dress is fabulous, too. I'm over 5'7", and the skirt part does come up really long, so do check it haha. I wanted to mention that the Kalle has a long sleeve extension pack. I've got those pieces printed up, but haven't tried them yet. Happy sewing!

[@justletmesew]

@@lynngates1662 Thanks for all those pattern tips, very helpful. I would really like a long sleeve Kalle so that's great to know, thank you

[@SyKnife]

I haven’t watched your channel before. I love your pattern picks. I don’t know if you usually make toiles, but I would highly encourage you to make one for the Bianca. Just to get the crotch depth right especially. Your white blouse is lovely!

[@justletmesew]

@@SyKnife Hi Denise, thank you for watching. You're right, a toile is a great idea for the Blanca. I'm quite intimidated by it so a practice run will help 😊

[@Yorkygirl59]

Lovely prize. The pressing ham is brilliant for pressing neckbands and other curved areas - not sure how I managed so long without one (also the longer thinner sleeve pressing ham). I only recently bought some duckbill scissors and they are brilliant. Let us know how the loop turner goes - I never have much luck with my older one and I don't like spending money if I don't know it's going to be any better. I had to buy a better seam guide as mine kept bending. They are not very substantial. Gorgeous little kitty!

[@justletmesew]

@@Yorkygirl59 I'll keep you posted on the loop turner. The seam guages are very flimsy, I almost bent my new one getting it out the packet 😬

[@madebykarenmarie]

Wonderful prize! Great vlog as always :)

[@justletmesew]

@@madebykarenmarie Thank you Karen Marie 😊

[@lindaboby6007]

What a lovely box of goodies. Welcome to gorgeous Rosa. Hope Etta isn’t put out by her! 😻

[@justletmesew]

@@debbiecarter6430 thank you. Its been a week now and Ettie will stay in the same room as her without always hissing at her. Ettie's such a gentle cat, I hope she gets used to her soon.

Congratulations! What a nice lot of sewing goodness.

@@ChristineSewsALot Thank you Christine 🌼

[@monicagoh3318]

Congrats, Tania! I like the shirt that you're wearing, it's beautiful! Can I know where did you get the fabric from, and what is it called?

[@justletmesew]

@@monicagoh3318 thank you, the fabric was from Sew Yarn Crafty last summer. I have seen it online, I feel like 1st for Fabrics might have had it recently.

[@monicagoh3318]

@@justletmesew thanks for the prompt reply, Tania. I'll check it out😉

[@TIMAbyFK]

Wonderful prize and great choices from the sew essential site. I really like your Marnie hack, and those precious watermelon slices 🍉 so cute! Happy sewing and I look forward to your upcoming makes

[@justletmesew]

@@TIMAbyFK Thanks Fatmata 😊 It was great to buy those tools that I should have bought long ago, they're going to help a lot.

[@marleenlanoye8966]

Your Marni is fantastic! What fabric did you use?

[@justletmesew]

@@marleenlanoye8966 Thank you, it's a double gauze from 1st for Fabrics

[@sewvertonmakery]

Love your haul Tania, those patterns are all brilliant and I can't wait to see your Blanca. Have fun using all your fabulous new gadgets too ❤

[@justletmesew]

@@sewvertonmakery Thank you Katherine, it was such a treat! I'm going to need a push with the Blanca I think!

[@angelalysandrou4830]

Congratulations on winning, great to be able to get lots of things you’ve been wanting for a while. Love your Marnie hack. Rosa is very cute

[@justletmesew]

Congratulations on winning the voucher for sew essential. How lovely to get all the things you have been wanting. Your Marnie hack is superb and what a lovely entry into sewfruity. Let's hope you win another prize Tania. I hope your voivoice recovers soon too.😊

[@justletmesew]

@@annettecowburn-sz8cq Thank you Annette, I feel very lucky 😊 My voice is starting to recover now.

What an unbelievable prize!! And you were so good and considered in your purchases! Thanks for the shout out! I really hope you live the kielo as much as I do!!! ❤

[@justletmesew]

I feel so lucky, it was such a treat! I hope to get a kielo sewn up over the 'summer', just need to find some time...x

[@FionaLearnsPiano]

Congratulations on your prize!! I bought a tailor’s ham yesterday! I think you made wise investments with all your new sewing tools and patterns. Rosa is so cute! It was lovely to see her!

[@justletmesew]

@@FionaLearnsPiano Thank you. A tailor's ham is clearly a wise choice 😉 Rosa is very cute and so tiny, she'll make another appearance soon I'm sure.

[@FionaLearnsPiano]

@@justletmesew Indeed! I used my tailor’s ham for the first time today and it was super! I will keep an eye out for Rosa in future videos! Have a great week!

[@valeriecorke7973]

Don’t be nervous of the Blanca. I thoroughly enjoyed making this, the instructions hold your hand throughout -no head scratching moments! Of course it takes a bit of time to make but didn’t find any scary bits and the finished item looks v professional, even if I say so myself! I put elastic in the back waist seam to cinch it in a bit as well. Look forward to seeing yours.

[@justletmesew]

That's really good to hear, thank you. The elastic tip is a great idea, perfect! Thank you for watching 😊
