Thank you for sharing. Blue is a great color for you. I look forward to seeing your finished makes.

[@Frugalisama]

Thank you! 😊

[@freimitemail]

These blue fabrics really suit you! Looking great 🎉!!!!

[@Frugalisama]

Oh thank you!

[@cjane51]

Sam you are so busy! Hope the new shop is going well. Thanks for the inspiration.

[@Frugalisama]

Thanks Claudia, yes all is going well thank you - glad you're enjoying the inspiration 🤗

[@debrariley2057]

Great update on the challenge, I am onto my third garment, deep delve into the stash was the order of the day. ! In a moment of madness, I decided to quilt some double gauze and make it into a quilted jacket. I have discovered that I am not a natural quilter, but it has worked out well. Looking forwards to reveal day.

[@Frugalisama]

ooh can't wait to see that Debra 🤗

[@Silver_Threads_Sewing]

I’m so glad you mentioned the Nomi blouse pattern. I had mentioned on my new KZbin channel that I want to make it. I have it printed off but, will now know to pay attention to the size and lines on the pattern. Thank you for that. ❤

[@Frugalisama]

You're welcome - I'll check out your channel when I get a minute too 🤗

[@karenegan2640]

I’m loving the challenge and made 4 skirts so far that I will be entering x

[@Frugalisama]

Wow Karen 4, that's amazing - well done!

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

Can’t believe the reveal is NEXT WEEK 🤪🤪

[@Frugalisama]

I know - better get my skates on!

[@nancyhilborn885]

Finished my long sleeved elevated T-shirt. Just about done the Anastasia blouse. Trying to figure out which side of the front pieces to sew the loops and button placket onto. My French isn't what it used to be 😅. Really looking forward to seeing everyone's makes. Reveal day is always exciting.

[@Frugalisama]

Sounds great! Yes exciting & exhausting!

[@jennifermaddock4382]

I have three makes finished - two tops and a pair of leggings. It's such a great challenge and I love the exposure to all the free patterns.

[@Frugalisama]

Wow, Jennifer, you've really cracked on - looking forward to seeing them on reveal date 🤗

[@jacmary6580]

I did the Nomi blouse for my entry and did the same, got confused on the lines, mine ended up wide on the body and skinny on the arms 😮 to fix it I re-cut the sleeves and the arm scythe and whilst re-attaching took the body in as far as I could without having to effect the bottom frill. I loved the outcome but the new sleeve was a little on the wide side now so instead of re-attaching a frill I put a little tuck in the centre and finished with a little button detail and now completely love it and can’t wait for spring to wear it 😊

[@Frugalisama]

Love it - a bit of creative thinking, saved the day! Look forward to seeing it 🤗

[@cassietheconqueror]

I wanted to make the Frau dress as well but I am a super beginner and felt intimidated! I ended up making the peppermint peplum top and I’m working on the Friday pattern co sport shorts!

[@Frugalisama]

Sounds like you're doing just fine as a beginner to get 2 things done for the challenge

[@noemir8262]

Yikes you've been busy. Good thing you have a sewing studio now to help you keep chugging along.

[@Frugalisama]

Ha ha, yes you should see the mess I make too!

[@christinemartin9449]

Thanks for the update. I have made a Tilda blouse, really pleased with it. It just needs a good press!

[@Frugalisama]

Looking forward to seeing it Christine, the Tilda is lovely 🤗

[@debsmadethis]

Sam it looks like the playlist is for last year is ie sewfrugal22 that right ? Swimming cossie version 2 almost there and another couple of things ready to cut out 😊😊

[@Frugalisama]

Well spotted Debbie, just checking you were paying attention - changed it now, thanks for letting me know 🤗 Wow, you're cracking on with the challenge - I just need another couple of hours in my day & I'll get there!

[@kaywilliams3435]

Hi Sam, I’ve really been inspired by all the sewfrugal vlogs and want to take part. However I was not on instagram! I’ve just opened an account but not sure what to do in order to post my makes. Can you help please? 😮

[@Frugalisama]

Hi Kay, it's quite difficult to explain but this video here should help you: kzbin.info/www/bejne/faqteq1vbb2Ymsk In the part that asks you to write caption, just click on the screen start with #sewfrugal23 (that's the hashtag we are referring to) type in something about your pattern & fabric & then use @theyorkshiresewgirl & @frugalisama, so that we both see your post on the 31st of March. Notice that there are no gaps in the # or @ it's all one word. I hope this helps & look forward to seeing your make 🤗

[@kaywilliams3435]

@@Frugalisama Thank you so much for taking the time to get back to me Sam. I’ve had a look at the video and am going to give it a try.😊❤
