Oh oh! I watched your next video before this one, so I’ve seen the dress and the bow!! GORGEOUS!!! 😍 I really hope you do a tutorial on the bow. I love it so much! I adore the poplin fabric you showed in this video. 🥰

related to weight gain, my daughter and her friends are calling this the Covid 15! It is what it is, so embrace it as part of surviving in these times. Thanks for making your videos. I look forward to them and seeing the fabrics as well as the plans, it is inspiring me as far as my own plans.

[@elleandthestitches]

Ah thanks so much, I am glad you like the videos - really appreciate it! xx

Think we all relate honey. I’ve ALWAYS been a yo-yo dieter and feel like I’m constantly waiting to make things because I don’t want to make them in the size that I am now 🤦🏻‍♀️. Loving that blouse pattern and can’t wait to see your Eden. You’ll smash it 👍🏼

[@elleandthestitches]

thanks so much, i know now im definitely not alone with this fitting anxiety!! thank youuuu xx

[@rayleenwallace8750]

Ohhhhh I so so so can relate to the fit struggle and the mental health impact x it’s just a few ill fitting garments you will find your groove again xx thank you for your honesty you are just so relatable x love the pod cast too

[@elleandthestitches]

Thanks so much Rayleen, that means a lot. I think honesty is definitely the best way to go! x

I totally get you with the weight issue. Most of what I made last year isn't fitting me at the moment because of the amount of medication I'm on... BUT I just kind of take it as a positive that, whenever I come off it all and my body settles again, I will still have pretty things to wear while I bring in the current stuff. I always make my clothes with extra seam allowance to allow for these changes. Don't let it get you down. Change means you're a real living thing 🤣

[@elleandthestitches]

Ah thanks Mary-Ellen, definitely good to try and find the positives! Its all a learning process for me I think! Thanks so much xx

Great to see you back 😊. Just wanted to mention with the outter Eden fabric it looks quite transparent and I’m wondering if it will look very weird with a patterned lining? I’ve not sewn it myself so might be wrong x

[@elleandthestitches]

Ah yes I didn't even think about this.. it is cut out so lets so what happens... might need to unpick and find another fabric!! Thank you!! x

[@redcurtainclub]

You look so beautiful with your hair like thattttt 🙌 you look beautiful all the time but double flames today

[@rachellynncreates2703]

You don’t need advice… but you do need hugs. Hugs darlin.

Lovely to see you back, your videos are always so enjoyable and honest. I cut out the Eden patterns before Christmas and was shocked by all of the pieces. I gave up on the idea of sewing it immediately 🤦🏽‍♀️. One piece of advice I’d give is to buy waterproofing seam tape to apply to the outer fabric seams, it’ll ensure your jacket is truly waterproof. I’m pretty sure that Liz the baker that sews used the same fabric but with a different pattern so she may be able to give you some advice on sewing with it. Good luck 🤞🏽

[@elleandthestitches]

Thanks Jo, sorry for my late reply!! haha yes it is a lot of pieces for sure.. i'm still a bit too nervous to start sewing! ooo i haven't heard of waterproof seam tape, thanks so much for the advice xx
