I hate tracing 😖 gathering 😡 changing overlocker threads 🤢 deciding for the next pattern 😩 deciding for a size 🙄 button holes 😵‍💫 ripping seams 🤬. The only part I truly enjoy is buying fabric so I am focussimg on that 🤪🤪🤪

Only a minute in but I gotta say your videos are always so fun to watch, refreshing, funny, inspiring.. you’re great!!

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

Wow, thank you! 🥰🥰

[@sewvertonmakery]

Hellooooooo lovely one. Thank you for the mention of my Marnie 😘 Yours will be stunning in that cotton lawn, can’t wait to see your Southbank too, that fabric is perfect on you. Happy sewing lovely 🥰 🧵🪡

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

Thanks honey 😘

[@heatherpenman3906]

Dear Ruan - wonderful chat as usual. I'm sitting in bed on Saturday morning watching you, eating breakfast, and hanging out washing (before the biggest tornado of this century hits Auckland) and I am smiling. You are so inspirational, and I really cannot work out how there are enough hours in the day for you. Back to our weather, remembering this is our summer, I have sewed a 1920s dress and hat for an Art Deco Festival in Napier next weekend, and I now probably cannot go. Was going in my campervan, and was really looking forward to it, but may be too unsafe for me to travel. Anyway, I can always tune into you and the Sewl Sisters anytime and smile and enjoy the chats (and with a bit of sewing thrown in) . Love from Heather (Mum ha ha) in New Zealand

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

Oh Heather I hope you’ve all been ok? Did it hit you hard or did you manage to escape it? 🙏🏼

[@heatherpenman3906]

@@theyorkshiresewgirl We’re ok where we live, but other parts of the country complete devastation including Napier, where I was meant to be now. Thousands have lost their homes, communications and roads. Loved the walk through ikea with you. Heather 🧵👗

[@loriannpayne4483]

The fabric you purchased for your Marni top is soooo awesome! And cotton lawn is my favorite fabric to sew with. Can’t wait to see yours finished. Happy Sewing and hugs from Oregon…

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

Thanks lovely. Can’t wait to make it up 👏🏻

Love the sound of your plans and your fabrics too. I’ve got the pink zebra print from Andrea too, I’m thinking of the hug hoodie (minus the hood!). Can’t wait to see the honey blouse 😍

Love that second fabric on you. It lights up your face. Sort of wish I lived in the same country so I could join you all such laughs❤

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

Thank you so much!

I made the long dress from the magazine too😊 I used black and white print jersey and I love it. Thought it would be perfect for travelling this summer. You’ll love it.

Lovely fabric Ruan. 💙🍓🧶🌈

Thank you! 😊

[@karenb8561]

Another great video Ruan. I love watching and listening to you because you are so funny and you challenge me to use colour and pattern on my makes. Lots of the KZbin sewing community do too. I have been so plain when it comes to clothes but garment making this year is going to zing (for me that might mean a few dots lol)😁

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

Yes!!! Get zinging right away 🥳

[@amierikke6225]

So glad to see you!❤. As a mom of 2 grown boys, I can say it’s very hard work being the Queen of your home, raising those boys! I remember being exhausted most of the time. Your plans sound wonderful. The Fabric Godmother fabric took my breath away when you whipped it out to show us! Take care !

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

Thank you! I’m so lucky to have two gorgeous boys ❤️

[@margareturwin5840]

Im a bit voluminous like the Marnie sleeve 🤣🤣🤣. Thanks for another great video Ruan, we really appreciate the time you spend with us xx

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

Omg this made me chuckle 🤭 I’m voluminous too 🤣

[@annfhallahan4347]

I absolutely love your vlogs. Yes you're "totally bonkers " but that's what I love! Like you I always use patterned fabrics.

[@janetyler1642]

Very entertaining as always Ruan 😃 Love all your plans with those fabulous fabrics! I can never resist a print and don’t seem to enjoy sewing with plain fabrics as much for some reason 😂 I’m sure your Honey blouse will be stunning. I can’t seem to decide what to make this month! I’m thinking a Norma blouse which not made before. Happy Sewing😊

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

Oooh a Norma blouse 😍. Another pattern that I have but am yet to make up 🤣

[@janetyler1642]

[@ginaburgess9759]

Love that black and white fabric! As for interfacing, I hate it too but saw a tip on Pattern Scout that is a game changer (maybe I'm late to the party but I hadn't thought of it) She interfaces a piece of fabric large enough to cut out all of the necessary pieces. No fiddling with small pieces.

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

Yes it’s such a good idea isn’t it. Would have definitely done that if I’d had enough interfacing 🙈

[@barbfilion5646]

Awesome Ruan, I just received the Nomi dress and magazine myself and love the short version, now I have to find me some fabric the same as the short one. I thought of you as soon as I seen the short nomi....lol Cant wait to see your makes. I have a plain pink to make the south bank. Just moved though so cant find much of anything yet. as I just also had Knee surgery October 31, so a bit slow yet.

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

Oh hope you recover quickly so you can get sewing again 🤞🏼

[@Bessy_makes]

I hate gathering, so I always use the clear elastic method. I find it also helps to stabilise the tiers as sometimes if the fabric is a little weighty it can make the length drop and the dress stretch

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

That’s a really good point. There’s a lot of fabric for the tier so it might drag 🤔

[@dianehess3706]

Hello friend! Well, you have a lot going on. My one AND only plan is making my sister a smock from out mother’s old smock. I actually took the smock apart and created a pattern from it. My sister and I went shopping this weekend and she chose some nice fabric. I’ll take some fabr from my mom’s smock and cut out a heart so she’ll have a piece of our mom with her always. I think it’ll be a nice memory for my sister 🥰. It’ll be a go start to a new and awesome year! Can’t wait to see your makes. Thank you for sharing! Your friend Diane ❤

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

Oh Diane that’s such a lovely thing to do ❤️

Love your fabrics in fact I have the animal print one too 😂

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

He he! Can’t beat a bit of animal print!

[@sarahhellewell7936]

Great plans ❤. Liz from the Baker That Sews once suggested increasing the stitch tension on a long basting stitch to gather on the machine and it really works!! Saves loads of time….Ive not tried it on a jersey though 🤔

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

That is so strange! I have just read that on my instructions for the Honey blouse! I must try it!

[@sarahhellewell7936]

Spooky 👻🤣!

Hi Ruan loved the video that black and white fabric is fabulous. Looking forward to northan sewl sisters on 10th,(not sure of spelling 😅sorry) x

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

Glad you’ll be joining us 😊

[@cecilehoare3053]

Have you tried gathering over dental floss? I use a wide zig zag that isn't spaced too far apart and zig zag over the dental floss. Once you finish tie one end to a safety pin so it doesn't pull through then slide the fabric down the floss until you get your required 'scrunch'. When you pin or clip you can disburse the gathers evenly. Much faster and you don't have to worry about your thread breaking!

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

No I haven’t Cecile but I’ve heard about that! Think I need to try a few different methods and see which one I prefer 👍🏼

[@van_vinos66]

I've just found your channel and you are hilarious!!! It just makes watching so enjoyable. I guess even if you were talking about chopped liver it would still be funny. LOL

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

🤣🤣🤣. That really made me laugh! Thank you ☺️

[@emma__sews]

I love your plans. I have bought the Adria jacket but don't think I have seen yours yet. I haven't started it... 😕Currently making (very slowly) the Josephine dress from Fibremood... And also the Tudor blouse from Stitch Witch patterns...

I used to belong to a small group and we called it Stitch & Bitch because we did more chatting than stitching!

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

[@suemacfarlane7372]

Thanks for your videos. It might be an idea to interface a slightly bigger piece of fabric than you need, then cut out afterwards. This way, the fabric is more stable and easier to cut out.

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

Yes I did think that but then realised I didn’t have enough 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@suemacfarlane7372]

@@theyorkshiresewgirl also, I meant to say, if it's daunting to go back so far, why not just start the 'makes' vlogs from this year? Most people will appreciate that the time it would take to catch up is a lot, so you could just start afresh from now :)
