I definitely enjoyed this video! I am currently struggling with a burn-out and find it hard to motivate myself to go sit at my sewing machine. This gives me an idea how I can make just some simple garments that are amazing. Thank you!

[@EmilyLightly]

Glad I could help! I hope you’re able to rest and recover soon 🙏

[@isabellep6119]

Such lovely pieces- Thank you for introducing these new to me patterns, your versions are very inspiring 🧡

[@TheSolipsist0]

I like your color choices. The makes are looking spot on.

[@Adelka1620]

Oooh such great pieces!! Loved this video! And the lilac shirt ended up being beautiful! One of my fave pieces on you! :)

[@michellegreen2428]

[@juliamckernan354]

The sleeves are my favorite part of that top!!

[@suecouch3636]

Loved watching this video - and loved all the garments.

[@marywallace5248]

The shirt is gorgeous! And those sleeves!!!

[@jenniferdo5467]

Wow, these are all amazing - love the blouse and slip dress! Enjoy your trip!

[@EmilyLightly]

Thanks so much!

Awesome, love the video! ❤

[@blufaerie]

I loved all the makes! I, too, love the button attachment on my Singers!!!

[@EmilyLightly]

I didn’t even realize I had it! It worked so well ☺️

[@irenegordon8685]

I fully enjoyed your practical and descriptive makes. Love the blouse. Look forward to further vids.🪡

[@EmilyLightly]

Thank you so much!

[@TikaOlivere]

I love the colour for the camisole.

[@softenstudio]

Such a lovely video Emily. Thanks for including the Lea Bias Dress in your holiday capsule. It looks so beautiful on you! Hope you enjoy your holiday at Vancouver Island 🌴💛

[@EmilyLightly]

Thanks Melody! I can’t wait to wear the dress while we’re away ☺️

[@lindarosenthal6835]

Beautifully made.

[@TheSolipsist0]

Please do a fall/ winter makes plan video! 😊

[@imsewblessed1578]

You make beautiful garments. Awesome job 😊

[@EmilyLightly]

Thank you! 😊

[@kimhicks1571]

These are great pieces, I’m sure they’ll become staples in your wardrobe. Enjoy your stay on Vancouver Island! We live just outside of Sidney and we’re planning a little getaway too. We’re staying on the island- there are so many places to visit here. Next on my travel plans is Ucluelet 😊

[@EmilyLightly]

Nice! I haven’t been to the island in ages, and you’re right there are so many beautiful spots!

[@nancynewman6592]

Beautiful!

[@christineshemranifar3218]

Fabulous makes.

[@ca6177]

Commendable work!

[@wolfgangshuman]

Great video 🎉

[@shif7905]

Hi Emily! Enjoyed the video. So many beautiful makes 🤩 Can you please tell me the black top you are wearing at 11.42? Thank you

[@95mayak]

Thank for your great content! I remember you mentioned in one of your videos a pattern making course you took but can’t find it again. Do you have any recommendations for online pattern making course? Would love to hear🌹

[@EmilyLightly]

The course I took was by erbaccia studio! I would highly recommend it. It's called Confident Patternmaking & Grading ❤️

[@aileer467]

What size ZW blouse did you make? What would you change next time?

[@GinaAhrens]

Where do you get your labels? They are so cute!

[@EmilyLightly]

From blackbird fabrics!

[@talloolahmoon]

How did you manage to get the second back piece out of the fabric for the bias cut dress?!!!

[@EmilyLightly]

The first cutting layout I did wasn’t going to work but I was able to fit them all with the second layout I did! It’s shown when I start pinning and the dress front is placed first. I made sure to triple check before cutting haha

[@talloolahmoon]

@@EmilyLightly magic 💫🤣

[@heatherbowser3635]

The best swim wear patterns I have found are from Styla patterns. Their directions are fantastic.
