Beautiful York Pinafore.

[@suegeese6339]

Very nice! I also enjoyed seeing your cat. My cat died last year at age 18 1/2 years old and I miss her. Seeing your cat makes me want another one. I enjoy watching your videos.

[@maureencullen1008]

Fabulous pattern matching and excellent review.I would have loved to see more photos of you wearing it

[@kymclinton3140]

Absolutely gorgeous I love the scoop neck and back and the bias binding so pretty I'm making pinafores at the moment in jumbo corduroy I made my own pattern based on an apron mine have buckles I like your version better so might make another paper pattern based on that

[@lynnelyons5171]

This looks super cute. Fab fabric, and such brilliant pattern matching on the pockets. As always, your videos are inspirational. I didn’t think the York was for me, but I might try it now that you’ve described how straightforward it is to make. 😊💞

[@jeans.9664]

Brilliant way to pattern match the pockets! Your pinafore is gorgeous. I love your videos - thank you!

[@tonyao2235]

New subscriber, your pinafore looks beautiful! I bought my pattern earlier this week, and that brought me here. Hope mine turns out as good.

[@sharoncrawford6450]

Lovely make. Awesome fabric 👍

[@StitchRipRepeat]

Yay, I loved this vlog for so many reasons, firstly of course great to see your button earrings and I’m so glad you liked them 😊 Secondly LOVE your York pinafore, that fabric is awesome! Lastly great tip about pattern matching your pockets, stupidly I always do my pattern matching for bags the same way but it never occurred to me to use the same method in pockets 🤦🏼‍♀️ Thanks for another fab video 😁xx

[@mnoeliarc]

I love your pattern matching and thanks very much for the tip on how you did it 😊

[@susanfriemel9492]

Very, very informative! The kitty is charming. Thanks from Minnesota, USA.

[@sallydingle321]

Wonderful Tamlyn 💖👌... great review and I wasn't sure about this pinafore but now I have seen yours.. I think I have changed my mind 😁👍😘

[@lavadaroufs]

Love the pinafore on you and the gorgeous print is your coloring. Good tips and informative. I really love the new format and wonder how you like it. Can't wait till the next one. I'm finishing a body form, slipcover for it, artisan tunic for me, wool plaid lined vest for the husband. Also have requests in for 2 aprons, flowy wrap skirt, 2 tunics (1 linen and 1 cotton chambray) and some fun bed pillowcases for gifts. I'm almost most excited in making my grand daughter a jean jacket using her old grandpa's jeans, holes and all! Happy sewing!

[@louiselill1528]

I really love what you have made and beautiful fabric choice too

[@joannwright2910]

Love the make and great idea for the pockets!

[@StayStitching]

So Cute! I listened to you as I was cutting out my Cashmerette Tobin sweater. The York is not a pattern I've considered for myself, but I might change my mind now!

[@OhSewFly]

It looks great! I’m working on the Yanta overalls right now and I agree with you her instructions are really great. I love that you pattern matched the pockets. Sew beautiful!

[@leticiaameliamonteslascari148]

Such beautiful colours for that dress 🥰💗💗 Lovely!

[@pollydolly9723]

Oh Tamlyn! What a lovely make! And perfect timing as I just ordered the pattern! Fab 60s look ❤️

[@evasaker2476]

Looks lovely and really suits you! 😍

[@julietaylor4932]

great idea on pocket pattern matching

[@susankidd9963]

Love this pinafore great job and the colour.

[@sewandbake8336]

Looks lovely , and sounds like you really enjoyed making it . Such a good tip regrading pockets ,thank you . x

[@lynneprentice4278]

Just made it on my recent sewing retreat! It is a great pattern. I will be putting a pic on IG shortly. ❤️ I will definitely be making another one.

[@karenwarr4613]

It looked fab Lynne😀

[@clareharper9713]

Thank you for such a useful pattern review. You have totally changed my mind on this pattern so much I have just ordered it now to printing off and make up my version. All I need to do is decide which top to make to go with it. Another great Vlog.☺

[@CazPiranha]

One of my favourite patterns. Glad it’s worked for you! I like to do an inbetween neckline as I find the deep scoop a bit intimidating!

[@elainemakin6345]

Lovely pinafore and lovely fabric Tamlyn. I’m making my first York pinafore at the moment. I’m going to make my own binding ( I think) so wish me luck! X

[@thedahliasewciety]

What a gorgeous fabric! You look so cute in this ❤️

[@donnamackay290]

I have been looking for a pinafore pattern for ages that will go for a curvy girl. So so happy about the size change

[@Hide_and_silk]

Beautiful and I ❤ that fabric!

[@rebawasswass3716]

I love it, too! Great job!

[@bridgetwhite5547]

Love the pinafore. Thanks.😊

[@Shylala3]

Hi I voted for this and it is beautiful and really suits you that’s me off to make a pinafore now thanks for sharing your views xx

[@sandraobrien8705]

Teally helpful, thank you.

[@sarahodonnell6957]

Great make I love it Go You ❤️🙌🏻🦋

[@elizabethhill8781]

I’m going to do a York pinafore in the same fabric as you’ve chosen. The fabric is lovely but a lot thinner than I expected. If I lined it, would the look of the finished garment stay the same? Thanks in advance.

[@threadtherapy251]

Lovely! If it sticks to your tights Matalan sell little half slips for £4. I bought one to go under a cord skirt for that reason x

[@caoakley2157]

We're twinning today. I made a York in the pomegranate fabric last winter and it's just come back into rotation now the temps have dropped!

[@gaylehegarty9161]

I love this on you. Definitely would consider it now. Just made the Ivy pinafore and it’s gorgeous. A lady told me recently at a sewing day that velvet and cord should be cut so that the pile is pushed up the way when you are wearing it. Something to do with how the saturation/colour looks better in the light. She said most people assume you cut it so you can stroke it downways. I thought it was a good tip. My pattern was directional so it was that way anyway.

[@janefrain2641]

This was the pattern that I chose and I love it. Good choice xxx

[@tracyfrost]

It’s lovely, you can always make the next one higher

[@nancynewman6592]

HI I have analyzed the Freya pattern and it seems that the armscye is cut quite low under the arm Did you adjust this or it wasn't necessary? Any adjustments to the neck? It looks great! I want the same fit :)

[@SewnontheTyne]

Nancy Newman Hi, I didn’t adjust it at all. I just made a straight size 4. Thank you :) x

[@hristinapetrova291]

Hi Tamlyn, looks amaazing! I love the fabric and have actually been eyeing it up for a while. I have a pattern for a pinafore from Sew Me Something - it is called Beatrice. I got it from the handmade fair and your video has inspired me to work on it asap! I couldn't find the bias binding on 1st for Fabrics' website, do you have to physically go into the shop for it? x

[@SewnontheTyne]

Hristina Petrova Thank you. Oh a lot of their stock isn’t online but if you just send them a message on Instagram or email, they are more than happy to sort it for you. Just say you saw it on my video and they’ll know which one you mean. They have it in black as well, and maybe another colour x

[@hristinapetrova291]

Thanks, that’s fab! x

[@jaime1251]

This wasn't the choice i voted for , but it really is lovely and you look beautiful in it.

[@carolineroutledge7977]

Top part looks lovely but did I miss the standing twirl?

[@SewnontheTyne]

Caroline Routledge If you skip to approx 14:53 in the video, that’s where the standing twirls are :) x

[@carolineroutledge7977]

@@SewnontheTyne thank you so much x

[@anessaharris9947]

😃

[@marlenecabada8731]

I like the pattern, but find the fabric too busy.It looks like a nice navy blue would be good.O well to each his own!
