Sewing a Winter Wardrobe: Best Cosy Fabrics!

[@oneatatime8677]

Great suggestions for cold weather fabrics. Best of luck with the magazine start. Keep us posted.

[@Sewn]

Thank you! Can't wait to share it with you x

[@beccaemmax]

I love that mustardy-yellow fabric, so pretty! I'm knitting a scarf in the same colour at the moment and feel so happy every time I look at it! xx

[@Sewn]

It's such a happy sunshiny colour x

[@helenawagstaff1357]

Fab Vlog, so much information, really nice to team the fabrics with ideas for different garments. Looking forward to seeing the Suzy magazine. 😊

[@Sewn]

Thank you! Coming soon :)

[@tracycharalambous5223]

Thanks for the tips Rosa. As a fairly new dressmaker it's good to see what I can choose for winter sewing. I've got some lovely cottons but like you said it's time to think about making clothes that are more cozy. Really enjoying your vlog & learning a lot from you thanks. It takes me ages to make a garment due to work, family & because I'm a beginner but I'm really enjoying the process & the videos are very helpful, cheers.

[@Sewn]

Thank you, I'm so glad you find the videos helpful! x

[@kerryclarke6501]

Looking forward to your Suzy Magazine. I follow Dominique Major and think it will be a great combination. I also have a longstanding obsession with corduroy. With plain colours I like the nap to be rough to the touch as I find more depth in the colour.

[@Sewn]

Thank you!

[@courtneywillingham4409]

I am try for the first time to make my own wool winter coat. Nervous but excited. Thank you for sharing fabrics for the colder seasons. And cant wait for the magazine to come out. Best wishes. See on your next video 😊

[@Sewn]

Thank you! Good luck with your coat, you will love it :)

[@weaver7249]

Rosa, this video was so informative. I just love the short jacket and have tagged it for myself. I'm looking forward to the release of the magazine and will be sure to subscribe. Thanks so mulch for sharing your knowledge.

[@Sewn]

Thank you Dana! We can't wait for the magazine to come out, November! :)

[@shirettejohnson8326]

So fun! I can't wait to see how they turn out. Thanks for encouraging everyone to try to make something and letting them know that coats aren't that difficult.

[@Sewn]

Thank you! x

[@eloisematchbox5924]

Loved this video, Rosa! Lovely to see the Girl Charlee Ponte Romas too- gives you a much better idea of their colour and quality :) I'm hoping to sew some Carolyn pyjamas in red chequered flannel, have you made any yet? I made a practice pair from cotton and they're SO lovely! Other than that, I'd love to make a coat or jacket (I have the Papercut Waver jacket that I should really have a go at) and I want to make a Ponte Roma dress too. And of course a Rosa dress is planned! Thanks again for the video & looking forward to Suzy x

[@Sewn]

Ooo I love the carolyn pyjamas! I have not tried them yet but I love the trend for pyjama tops in the day x

[@mik_creates4016]

What a great topic! And congratulations on the magazine!

[@Sewn]

Thank you!

[@StrayKids_et_al]

I'm currently in the process of sewing a long sleeved shirt dress (simplicity 8014) from a gorgeous cotton drill I got from Ditto and it's my favourite autumn winter garment I've ever made. It's not too warm so it's great for transitional periods but it's long sleeved and great for layering come winter.

[@Sewn]

I love long sleeved frocks for autumn, this sounds lovely!

[@markcreasey9679]

Hi Rosa! Great video and thank you for the kind words about our fabrics! Just one small thing, our Ponte De Roma are a blend of Polyester with Cotton, Rayon and Lycra (our website shows the mix for each type). Can't wait to see your dresses and the new magazine!!!

[@Sewn]

Ah whoops, sorry! Dresses coming soon, excited for autumn now I have lovely projects to look forward too :) x

[@sewjenniwren1055]

Hi Rosa, that was great inspiration, I have been looking for a pull on jersey skirt pattern too, just popped over to Amazon and bought it. I love striped jerseys and houndstooth - I've had my eye on that fabric from Girlcharlee so now I will have to pop over to their website and splurge again. I've bought some great suiting fabric for some ultimate pencil skirts (must cut out the pattern tonight) that I think will be great for work. I'm going to take the plunge with jersey, I have an overlocker but I'm new to sewing so it's all a little scary! I want Lisa's new e book to make the Molly top and the Tilly Rosa pattern - yours is fab just my kind of fabric. Good luck with your magazine launch.

[@Sewn]

I love the look of the Molly top too! I have seen some gorgeous ultimate pencil skirts too but I don't wear slim fitting skirts very often as I work with small children and need to bend down a lot haha!

[@samanthamcrae9986]

This is an awesome video! Thank you so much for all the information. Loove the pink denim, the corduroy and the mini skirt! Beautiful makes x

[@Sewn]

Thank you! I have recently ordered some crazy leopard print denim too and I am SO excited to work with that :D

[@samanthamcrae9986]

Woah! Can't wait to see!

[@TheSterlingThimble]

Wow! Best of luck on the launch of your magazine!!! How exciting!! Love your fabrics and can't wait to see your finished makes! :D

[@Sewn]

Thank you! So exciting!

[@RenataMarie]

Hi Rosa, Awesome video with great information. I am sewww looking forward to Suzy Magazine 😍

[@Sewn]

Yay thank you! :D:D:D

[@Threadquarters]

So many gorgeous fabrics, and so much temptation! Very excited to hear about the Suzy Magazine (great name btw ;) ), will it be a paper magazine, or electronic? Can't wait to hear more about it!

[@Sewn]

Hi! Thank you, it will be a paper magazine x

[@MrsBuitenbeentje]

I enjoyed watching, thoses were really good fabric suggestions.

[@Sewn]

Thank you! I'm enjoying your videos too :)

[@addiekl]

I really appreciate your video since I am newly getting into true winter sewing after moving from California to the East Coast of the U.S. I wish we could get Liberty needle cord at an affordable price here: it is so beautiful. You have me interested to try Ponte de Roma now. I usually prefer natural fabrics. Great video!

[@Sewn]

Thank you! Liberty needlecord is so expensive usually, I would check out vintage for perhaps a cheaper option in the US x

[@ritvikkapoor4545]

thanks found the info on winter fabrics i was looking for

[@edinacole6382]

I love all your striped shirts! I started copying you. I've been buying solids for decades. I guess I felt they were safe. Can you do a demo on how to match the stripes with the sleeves to the body? I'm having a hard time matching that part of my shirts.

[@Sewn]

Yay I'm glad stripes are catching! To be honest I never match that part of the top as it's so fiddly. Maybe just choose one or two stripes to match that will be the most visible x

[@vvarble]

I am totally digging that pink denim! The husband has informed me recently that I should do some jeans. Pink ones would be awesome lol.

[@MrsBuitenbeentje]

I think you got the okay to go out and purchase fabric! ;)

[@Sewn]

That would be so cool!

Im loving that wool color! I've been on the lookout for wool this past week, and you're right, its super expensive ($35-60 USD per yard)! Thankfully I ran across a woman selling her fabrics at a yard sale this past week and picked up three different wool pieces (plaids and solids) and walked away with over 7 yards for $7! Plenty of jackets coming with those, but now I think I may need to find that golden yellow! (I did pretty good with my recent score, maybe I can afford to spurge a bit now ;) )

[@Sewn]

Wow that's such a great bargain! Good find x

[@quiltygal6981]

Great Vlog once again. Super excited to find out about the magazine, will go over and check it out. I know we are heading into Summer here, although you wouldn't know it with the awful weather we have been having, floods even !! but now is the time for me to get some great bargains on Winter fabric I scored a wool blend the other week for $5 a metre ( about 2pond fifty) as I got over 3 metres so am going to try a jacket out of it I love your little jacket looks really cool. I love knits I learnt to dress make with knits so they don't hold any fear for me. Have a good couple of weeks using your new fabric I loved that dot swatch I think you need to get some of that :)

[@edinacole6382]

Girl Charlie, you're right they aren't ideal for leggings but you can make a pair of pants the same shape as leggings but slightly looser fit and they are lovely

[@Sewn]

Wow that's a great price for wool, lucky you! Good luck with your jacket, I am sure it will be lovely!

[@StampinDivaUK]

Thanks for your recommendations. It is very timely as I was just thinking about what fabric to get for some winter dresses! I shall be checking out some Ponte Roma, I think.

[@Sewn]

Excellent!

[@tinylittleanj2]

I bought a second hand winter coat with the belt in a mustard yellow wool for au$9!! I also love love that wool fabric :)

[@christinaway171]

I really love the dress you have on in this video. Beautiful job of matching the stripes and it looks terrific on you. You mentioned that you were on Facebook, but when I did a search for Sewn you didn't come up. How do I find you there?

[@Sewn]

Thank you! We are here: facebook.com/suzymagazine/?hc_ref=SEARCH&fref=nf

[@CharlotteEmmaPatterns]

Cannot wait to see the magazine!

[@Sewn]

Thank you Charlotte! We are so excited to share it. Coming in November eekk!!

[@JJay666]

What pattern did you use for your red wool coat please?

[@jenniferlzr5651]

Excited about the magazine! What pattern are you wearing?

[@Sewn]

Thank you! It's Simplicity 1593 x

[@stubbstit8188]

I love the coats. What type of interfacing do you use for them if you don't mind me asking?

[@Sewn]

Medium weight fusible x

[@betsykleger4808]

Sorry, but I missed the name of the dress pattern you are wearing (and that you are going to use for your houndstooth and striped Ponte Di Roma.). I didn't see it linked in your notes...can you tell us what the pattern is? Thanks!

[@Sewn]

Simplicity 1593 x

[@sheilaelder1992]

I love your jacket.

[@Sewn]

Thank you!

[@sineadmariturnham6766]

Thanks Rosa, by the way my cat likes watching your vlogs with me (the only other thing she watches are old betty boop cartoons)... thought I'd share :)

[@Sewn]

Haha cool, I wonder if Betty and I have lots in common!?

[@debbiechittick4755]

Can you tell me what dress pattern you're wearing in this video? I think it would make a nice shirt.

[@Sewn]

Simplicity 1593 x

[@debbiechittick4755]

Thank you!

[@ritamae99]

Hi Rosa, How do you wash your wools?

[@Sewn]

I don't tend to, most are dry clean only x

[@kathryncota]

Do you think the Ponte Roma would make a good legging?

[@markcreasey9679]

Hi Kat. Ponte only has 2 way stretch so may not be the best for leggings but I know lots of people have used it and liked it. We have some lovely soft Cotton Lycra fabrics with good 4 way stretch, and our new BOLT by Girl Charlee range are perfect for lovely warm, soft leggings! You can find them here - www.girlcharlee.co.uk/bolt-by-girl-charlee-c-212.html

[@mik_creates4016]

A lot of "sturdier" ready-to-wear leggings are made of ponte knits!

[@addiekl]

Your short wool jacket in the blue plaid is absolutely lovely! I just made a wool cape and want to sew more with wool. You can see a photo of it on my instagram if you are curious @lotuspeachblog.

[@Sewn]

Thank you!

[@lucylai4910]

The dress you're wearing is pretty. I would love to see but don't have much time.

[@Sewn]

Thank you!

[@curlietai]
