Sewing Through the Seasons: Fall & Winter Makes You'll Love

[@debra3234]

I'm in awe of all these makes, particularly because they fit you so perfectly! And the koi fabric is my favorite of the three lovely options.

[@jochitty211]

It was lovely to se Thoday's name checked - they had a branch in Norwich and it's where I bought my first ever patterns and fabric. It was a really big shop! it was there into at least the 90s - I only 50 and I was shopping there in my teens! Having quality dressmaking shops in the high street feels like a world ago but it's not actually that long ago.

[@StitchPleeease]

I love the first blouse. Thanks for the video. I will have to hunt down that first shirt. I love the pleats.

[@susanlawlor7201]

I just ordered four yards of fabric from Longan Craft thanks to your video! I ordered both the koi and mountain prints of the linen blend. They are having a 20%off sale right now and I got free shipping. I can't wait!!

[@monicacorr6979]

The green blouse really flatter you, and the colour really suits you !

[@StephSewn]

Thank you Monica!!

[@jennieeveleighlamond]

Everything you made is so beautiful, you look absolutely stunning! I know you said that the pale green blouse was outside of your comfort zone, but I have to say that I think you look absolutely amazing! So beautiful and elegant! I imagine that blouse paired with jade jewelry, and a little round vintage purse with bamboo handles.

[@StephSewn]

Thank you!! And love this outfit idea. Currently on Etsy shopping for some jade 😍

[@bananajeff3922]

Love your videos - you share patterns I wouldn't come across otherwise and I really enjoy your presenting style. I’m in my 50s and remember going to Gordon Thoday with my mum as a child in the ‘70s. The shop in Norwich had fabric downstairs and the pattern room upstairs had rows of high tables and stools with huge catalogues of the pattern books that you could flip through before selecting the patterns (in retrospect perhaps everything seemed huge because I was a small child).

[@lovejohandmade]

Love that green wrap top. The fabric and style are lovely! The other fabrics, wow, so beautiful. I can’t decide if I love the koi carp or mountains more.

[@Lighthouse1852]

Simplicity celadon green blouse, wow. Frames your face perfectly, and evokes the 1910s and 1930s in the best way. Moreso than the 1970s, even. Home run. I'm going to have a harder look at patterns now. I admit I'd have walked right past that pattern on a store shelf based on the drawings, so I would've missed how fantastic the real thing is. Tencel blend fabric: I checked the site...go for the bamboo blue/white! It reminds me of another blue/white top you wore a long while ago and suited you so well. Quilted fabric for jacket: I agree with your choice of a water repellent fabric. A damp quilted cotton jacket would be the pits. Both sides of your fabric would work on you. If you already have a charcoal or camel colored jacket, why not just choose the opposite. I wouldn't worry about casual dirt, both sides can handle it. Coordinating with boot and bag colors is another way to nudge a tough choice. BTW: if you go with the charcoal, which has a nice cosmopolitan energy about it, you could choose an interesting contrast color for the piping. Neon green, to set you apart from the masses. Reflective tech fabric, to keep you safer in dark winter traffic. Magenta. Can't wait to see the finished product. I'm going to get that Core fabric dress pattern. I couldn't get excited about a T-shirt dress; this is just different enough to be worth it. Thanks for another inspiring edition. Keep sewing and showing good stuff.

[@ShutokaJ]

Thanks for sharing your jeans are fitted to perfection 👌🏾

[@StephSewn]

Thank you! Can't wait to make another pair

[@LisaOuwersloot]

The green blouse may be out of your comfort zone, but it looks nice on you! The colour, the lines, it suits you. And it looks soft.

[@chlomo2618]

Love your 1970s blouses/shirts! Especially the wrap tops. I just made (I say just made, as it sits on my dress form awaiting buttons, buttonholes and hem...) a 70s blouse pattern with tucks and a really-quite-modest-for-the-decade collar in a light blue chambray fabric. I'm not in a rush to finish it as I generally find drapier tops easier to wear, but I just really wanted to sew something in a nice stable cotton for a change. I'm also planning a pair of jeans and a wool coat by the end of the year. I mean, I doubt those are both happening, but we can dream. Good luck with your trouser and jacket plans!

[@brendajefferson5984]

Your garments are all so beautifully made and I love them all! The DJ jeans are great and I may give these a try. Thank you so much for recommending this brand and sharing info about them. You are so refreshing to watch, thanks for sharing😊❤

[@StephSewn]

This is so kind! I love making and sharing this content, so I'm glad you are enjoying it ☺️

[@lidabard2121]

All 3 fabrics are fabulous!

[@EugeniaGuerreroQuintana]

Love of all of these makes! Great tips on wearing the jeans in a bit to facilitate any adjustments and not having to remove belt loops etc! I am also hoping to make the Coe trousers soon - love the idea also of making the same pattern many times with different fabrics, lending themselves to a totally different look. Excited to see how yours come out :)

[@StephSewn]

Yay! What fabric do you think you'll make your Coes from?

[@EugeniaGuerreroQuintana]

@@StephSewn I got a really fun series of animal print denims from Rainbow Fabrics, hoping to make some groovy cow print Coes

[@creepyed]

The green wrap shirt is stunning!! I want to go find that pattern and make it. Also, could not tell your nails needed to be done. They are still shiny and lovely. I was distracted by the bright color on the denim closeup 😂

[@ZelB06]

I'm looking forward to seeing your next lot of makes your current ones are great! I always look forward to your uploads! You've also inspired me to dig through my 70s patterns again 😅

[@as6657]

This is my favorite sewing channel! I'm a "confident beginner" and aspire to be as dedicated and hopefully half as talented at picking out fabrics and creating garments as you are. The dress is gorgeous and the jeans look AMAZING on you. Thank you for another great video. Enjoy your holidays 🎉

[@lindarogers4188]

Beautiful makes on a beautiful lady. Thank you for sharing.

[@lizell2571]

The Koi Fish print is absolutely beautiful!

[@StephSewn]

The Koi might be my favorite too 😍

[@ptoste1]

Thank you so much. Love your makes. 👌👌👌👌🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰👏👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@solenegicquel6577]

I made the Core Fabric brise dress & I love it! The Koy fabric looks fantastic :D

[@MeghanSchech]

Ooo, the curved yoke shirt is really neat!

[@cassandrawade460]

The black dress is so flattering on you. I hope you will make more! Thank you for sharing.

[@withatwisttoday]

Those jeans look amazing on you! Thank you for sharing your makes with us!

[@StephSewn]

Glad you like them! I had a lot of fun filming this ☺️

[@harryw34]

Good morning! Love your videos.

[@StephSewn]

Thank you so much! Good morning to you too

[@karolmolpus9536]

Flowers and mountains 😊

[@StephSewn]

Maybe I just have to get all of them 🌚

[@silk_n_vintage_etc2643]

Great variety in the episode. Love the research into the old store. I’ve downloaded the free pattern after seeing this episode, thankyou

[@meaganstratton1733]

I like the middle blue mountains best but the koi fish could be really cute in a less gathered item.

[@primate416]

Thanks for the video, really interesting, and also I'm so impressed by your productivity. I sew slooow. I'm making the Brise dress right now. I agree with every thing you said, it's a brilliant pattern. Coincidently, the next project I have lined up (assuming I don't get distracted by something else) is the Coe trouser!

[@Marzumur]

Such great pieces! The way you talk about sewing is really inspiring and practical, makes me want to up my game. At the moment I’m gift knitting the Musselburgh hat for my daughter, but I’ve also drawn the top pattern from Jenny Rushmore’s book Ahead of the curve and hope to cut the fabric tonight. I really want to learn to make clothes for my body type and adjust the patterns.

[@hillaryc7661]

Lovely to see another video from you, thank you! I am still afraid of sewing trousers with a fly front. But I adapted the StyleArc Bob pants to look like the Coe pants… accidentally. My first toile was too large, so I removed several inches from the front leg, but not the back. I like them. Sewing my third pair now!

[@rachelgarnsey7953]

Hey thanks for the discount code! I ordered the ‘portrait’ tencel linen. Super happy 😊

[@StephSewn]

Yay! I am so pleased it was helpful- I think you'll love the fabric 💕

[@keikoparker4532]

Great episode. The Brise dress looks amazing on you. I have the pattern printed off to make but wasn’t sure if it would look good. I think I am going to sew it now!

[@StephSewn]

I think you won't regret it! Such a fun pattern 💕

[@AcornDaisySews]

Love your videos and your makes look fabulous. I love the first blouse in particular. ❤ I also have the Coe trouser pattern that I got after hearing an episode of the sewing club podcast - although I’m making some pietra pants first as I’m not experienced with trousers yet. I’m trying to finish the whole 30 challenge before the end of the year. 🤞🧵

[@karolmolpus9536]

Butter yellow is very pretty and unique

[@MaryCunningham-u5j]

Really fun seeing your beautiful garments and getting ideas, too! I miss some of the U.S. fabric stores I grew up with here in Philadelphia - they just fell by the wayside as ready-to-wear got cheaper and fewer people sewed, but they were special places. And spring is coming closer every day!

[@tammymasson2343]

Your vintage blouses are gorgeous! I love the purple floral and teal mountain prints the best. I recently downloaded the tie dress. Yours looks so amazing. You've inspired me to make that pattern up, and to get a black dress in my wardrobe! I noticed that when it's chilly, the item I reach for the most is a floral print flannel shirt that I made a few years ago, so I finally making another flannel shirt. This time is in a fine plaid print, but in my favorite colors of purple and teal. 😁

[@karolmolpus9536]

Always enjoy ❤

[@micheleweiss1698]

The koi fish fabric is fantastic!

[@StephSewn]

I love it too 💞

[@blufaerie]

Blue mountains! ❤❤❤

[@CulinaryGuide]

I always love your makes.

[@StephSewn]

Thank you! I love sharing them.

[@bohemiansusan2897]

I like the black dress the most. Thanks for sharing your projects. I plan on a black sheath dress in black ponte. Dress it up or down, it will be divine. I'm finishing up a striped cotton shirt today and maybe start the Co trousers tonight. I'm making mine out of heavy black stretch fabric. I plan on some easy knot tops and dresses. I have ideas for others but its best that I let the ideas gel in my head for a while.

[@hkvery3852]

Thanks I enjoy your videos. I’ve almost finished a front twist fitted pencil dress in a stretch embellished zebra print (it really is better than it sounds) which will be great for Xmas dinners. One of the best patterns I’ve bought from Burda. Will be making it in a deep red stretch velvet next. Problem is that I haven’t adjusted for my shorter shoulder width so the back with a zip doesn’t lay flat. Figuring out how to fix without ripping out the invisible zip that has been sewn in perfectly!

[@angelaf]

That shirt you’re wearing is super cute. Perfect choice of fabric and it really suits you

[@Sewassemblyrequired]

Love that second blouse. A great combo of pattern style and fabric. So pretty and unique and I think it looks lovely on you.

[@joshuathomson6049]

Love the green top and black dress, and the coat you're going to make... I kind of want one 😂

[@joshuathomson6049]

[@ellec236]

I love it when you post a new video, makes my day. Like always, I love everything you made. But I especially love the Terry top (it is on my list now) and the Brise dress (already downloaded), which looks amazing on you.

[@slapperorange]

I want to still make a quilted bucket hat and a woollen magic pants by Ann Tilley this year :)

Really beautiful fabric from Longan. I am going there to buy some. Thanks for the code! I had to slip away and got caught up in the shopping. Buying the pomegranate and koi versions of the linen tencel. Beautiful! I made the Forest and Thread Just my Luck Jeans but I am interested in your version of the Coe. I look forward to hearing how you make out. I am very interested in the Brise dress too. It too is on my list but will move up for this winter. My big winter project is the CC Phoebe jacket. Go big! (#canadasews)

[@StephSewn]

The Phoebe jacket is SO nice- what fabric will you use? I'm also so pleased you found some fabrics you liked at Longan- the pomegranates and Koi are definitely v unique

[@MsChaosbutterfly]

I'm not even done watching this video and I already purchased that vintage Simplicity pattern. (It wasn't even in my size.) It is just so absolutely gorgeous that I HAD to have it.

[@StephSewn]

Yesss I'm so glad you found it!! Very forgiving fit I think so hopefully will be easy for you to modify 💕
