Beautiful makes and the fabrics are so gorgeous!

[@maryellenoneill9061]

Love your blouse, the fabric is gorgeous 🤩. That color way is sold out but…. Many other beautiful fabrics await.

[@Alison-jl3bs]

Beautiful makes as always and your hair looks so good, I love the colour on you.

[@kayleighbauer9600]

Rachel I love that fabric you used for your top!

[@louiseroberts9553]

The blouse really suits you 😊

[@annsheldrake3554]

Your blouse is lovely and the fabric is beautiful.

[@salliecook7528]

I love that little bell dress!!! I ordered it and will be making one for my soon to be here great grandaughter!!!!

[@marionmichaud8048]

Beautiful top on you!!

[@justletmesew]

Thanks for the detailed review, Rachel. Your blouse is gorgeous, I love the purple flowers and flutter sleeves. I don't know if it was my vlog that you watched but I made that mistake with the pattern layering 😂 Thankfully it turned out fine in the end. Sew Happy has some KZbin tutorials for those patterns, I used her's for the Isla which was super helpful.

[@EileenR11]

The top is super pretty and really suits you, and Layla's dress is adorable.

[@alisonwilliams3806]

Blouse looks lovely & such pretty fabric, so floaty. Thank you for the tips & if I make it will probably do as you suggested & make it just a pull-over-the head instead of the tie.❤❤❤

[@Ohcarol912]

You are such a busy lady your make’s are great. I hope Andrea from so Andy sews is well I miss her vlogs. 😊

[@pinkpaulasews4929]

Great vlog thank you 😊 I’m intrigued by la blouse and think I might be purchasing that pattern today ❤

[@amandamartin824]

Your top is lovely and looked great with your pink trousers ❤ I’m sure there was a vlog where someone recommended removing lurex with tweezers on the side next to your skin. Layla’s wee dress is adorable 🥰

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

Such beautiful makes! 😍. Katherine from Sewverton Makery had the same issue with the lured. She actually used tweezers and removed the lured but around her neck. Saint didn’t take too long. Might be worth it if it’s bothering you xx

[@traciesperrin7548]

Beautiful makes. Your blouse is so much nicer in your fabric choice. Laylas dress is gorgeous. Xx

[@louisecampbell8094]

Your blouse is gorgeous the fabric is lovely nice and swishy 😊laylas dress is beautiful such delicate colours thanks for sharing happy Easter xx

[@madebykarenmarie]

That top looks so nice on you. Lovely colours and a lovely shape. The dress for Layla is adorable, too. I love this challenge, and I managed to get four things made up (I surprised myself..)..

[@seaside2001]

So nice to see you making beautiful summer wear. You have purchased some very nice fabrics recently. Looking forward to all seeing all the pretty makes.

[@annettecowburn-sz8cq]

Lovely makes 😊

[@ruthlanwarne8978]

Beautiful makes💕

[@suek7086]

I love both of your makes. I downloaded both patterns. I have two great granddaughters that would love the dress you made for Layla. I haven’t done any sewing for months but as I mentally went through my fabric stash I have gotten some inspiration. Thank you Rachel.

[@dorothytomniuk4106]

Love the top you made. You look gorgeous in the fabric colours, especially the purple.

[@unsewcial]

Really love your blouse and your fabric is beautiful. I took part in both the vlogging tour and the actual challenge and im so excited!!

[@lindamcdowall6505]

I always love your videos and seeing your beautiful makes. You are such an inspiration!

[@cindy7702]

Very very pretty blouse.. Good job!

[@judithfletcher287]

Lovely makes Rachel. I tired a Tiana's closet pattern for the first time and tried ti print out just 2 sizes to grade between them and was so confused by the lines I had to reprint with just one size. I did like the pattern though. There is a sew along for the Basalie top by Eloise & Ezra, I also found a channel called Sew Happy who does a lo of sew alongs for Tiana's Closet patterns and other free patterns. I just used a sew along for mine and didn't look at the instructions at all.

[@JRoseAgain]

Great vlog! I am in awe of your pattern organisation behind you! So you have a video which details this please?

[@cbraun6901]

Sew Happy channel is really great for Tianas patterns, just have the remote ready as she goes fast :)

[@janetyler1642]

Layla’s dress is so cute and love your floaty top. Perfect for Spring and Summer. Hope you’ve had a lovely weekend with your family ❤

[@SewVeryLaura]

Watching you whilst doing frantic #sewfrugal24wip! I wanted to do a Tiana‘s closet make as well but sadly didn’t have enough fabric in the end. It’ll stay on my mate list though. Love, love, love that blouse, Rachel, you look great!

[@lynnfrench4969]

❤❤

[@what_valerie_makes]

That fabric really suits you, it’s beautiful!! Love it paired with the pink pants 💕

[@debrariley2057]

Lovely top, and lovely fabric, I had that fabric and I ended up using a tweezers and drawing out the lurex threads, they are not fully woven through, they are threaded into the top threads of the fabric. No damage to the fabric at all, made for a far more comfortable wear against my skin. I think I am getting grandma envy as I watch you making Layla’s clothes, I do not have any grandchildren. Thank you for taking the time to share.

[@StitchedUp]

Thanks Debra I think I’ll try that as it’s really scratchy x

[@Rosieposiebird]

Your first blouse is lovely - little tip with the lurex (ask me how I know!) if you can use some tweezers to pull of the threads next to your skin 😊

[@juliesneap3809]

Love your blouse the fabric is beautiful as is Layla’s dress x

[@annmarshall9291]

Your two items are lovely Rachel. I made the Hailey top by Tiana's Closet for Frugal 24. I only printed 3 sizes out and found it very difficult to decide which lines to use. In fact, I nearly tore it up and reprinted it. But, I persevered. This top was a simple one so I didn't really use her instructions. I also made several changes to the basic pattern. The only thing is, I struggled to upload the photo to Frugal 24. Disappointing! (I'm not used to using Instagram)

Thanks for sharing Rachel. 💙🧶🌈🍓

👗👏🏻

[@antoinettecoles6111]

Beautiful makes 🤩🤩

[@yvonneimms9762]

Hello, love your top, that seems a different fabric that I have seen on you for a while but it looks great! I agree with you about the back and would increase the gap if I was still using the ties which are a nice feature. Also love the dress for Layla, she is so lucky to have you making her some gorgeous clothes. Thanks for continuing to inspire us ❤

[@donnabutler3800]

Lovely makes, in love with Layla’s dress and thinking of making the top version for my 2 granddaughters. Did you manage to get a picture with Layla wearing it? Great tips, thank you! X

[@StitchedUp]

I didn’t no not yet!

[@WendyTulloch-hu5zu]

I made a dress with similar fabric and pulled the Lurex from the facing out with tweezers, worked a treat x

[@sewcrabbybee2480]

Thanks Rachel

[@beachblu6953]

Cute blouse

[@lynneozzyblackbeard]

🤩☘️

[@karolmolpus9536]

Wonderful makes!

[@dianeovenden]

Beautiful make 🌸

[@sandrasaunders3416]

Love your frugal makes. I wondered if the neckline of Layla's dress could be done by making the frill from a tube of fabric then instead of turning the top over just topstitch a channel for the elastic(obviously leaving a gap for turning the tube and threading the elastic) ,hope that makes sense? xx

[@Veemerica]

I have a blouse with the same kind of Lurex. It's driving me mad! Your blouse is pretty though so I hope you can find a way to solve that problem.

[@christ3392]

Love those colours on you Rachel. Also those trousers look great. Where did you get them from?

[@StitchedUp]

They are from next, rose denim crops x

[@victoriaconstantine-cort3091]

[@Lorij83]

I love both of your makes. Is the armhole big in the top you made?
