In the last couple of weeks, I bought 3 digital patterns from you. I made my first real dress with the ROSA pattern and I am in love. Its like an addiction. I cut already the Hazel dress modified from your bed sheets video. I cant wait to start. Since I discovered your channel I have watched your videos over and over again. Its nice to see a content creator that shows all the measurements on cms and mts. Its so difficult to find this kinda content in english and in youtube. I wish more were like you. Your videos have help me so much to understand. From a dyslexic point of view, everything is so easy to understand. I cant wait to see what other patterns, hacks and sewing adventures are for your ahead. I will be watching and supporting you. All the best from Austria 🇦🇹

[@emmetarot2966]

Your Behind the Brand series is one of my favorites that you do. I like that each one is a different collection of tasks and inspiration. Hope you’re having a great day!

[@RoseryApparel]

Thanks so much Emme 🧡

Hello from the desert of Arizona, US. Pumpkin pie tips: There are two kinds of canned pumpkin. The kind I buy is pumpkin puree, which only contains the cooked pureed pumpkin and that is what I use and I add other ingredients to it. The other kind of canned pumpkin is pumpkin pie mix, which contains milk and other ingredients, but limits you on adding things. The puree is more likely to "set up" after baking. Also, if you are using canned milk, in the U.S. we have evaporated milk (not sweetened) and condensed milk (has lots of sugar and a syrupy, gooey texture), so you'll want to choose the correct canned milk for best results from a recipe. There are many pumpkin pie recipes, but if you start with pumpkin puree, I think you will be happier with the end result. Another tip is to pre-bake your pie crust. The channel PreppyKitchen has a recipe for velvety smooth "perfect pumpkin pie" as well as a "pie crust recipe." Good luck!

When I was a teenager in the early 1970's, all our bed sheets were floral. I remember feeling very swish when plain sheets became the norm and mum bought them instead. Now I love the vintage floral sheets!! Great video Janelle. And those new sandals are awesome.

[@aleciab83]

I usually don’t watch other people’s behind the brand or monthly vlog type videos but yours are always so good and I end up watching the whole thing! Your editing makes it nice and interesting!

American here! Here's my family's homemade pumpkin pie filling recipe (makes two pies). Hopefully the directions aren't too vague and ours lives up to the American pumpkin pies that you've had before! Ingredients: 3c pumpkin 2c sugar 2 Tbsp flour 2 Tbsp melted butter (optional) 4 eggs 1 tsp pumpkin spice 1 tsp salt 1 tsp ginger 1 tsp cinnamon 1 tsp nutmeg 2 tsp vanilla extract dash of black pepper 1 & 1/4 c milk (as needed) Mix well and put in two pie shells, homemade or store-bought. Bake for 1 hour at 375 degrees F.

[@RoseryApparel]

Thank you so much Abby! I’ll have to try this recipe for sure 🧡

[@emmanuelleh7218]

Thank you for the recipe ! I had some left over squash I had from when I made soup earlier this week so I tried your recipe and it's pretty good. I've never had pumkin pie so I have no idea what it's supposed to taste like though...

[@abbycatherine]

@@emmanuelleh7218 And I've never had squash pie, so I'm glad my family's recipe worked so well for you! I definitely recommend pumpkin (and maybe you'll find out which filling you prefer) - it's always been one of my favorite pies. We usually use pumpkin that we have grown in our garden that we have peeled the skin off by softening it in a pot of hot water on the stove, mash, and then freeze for later use.

[@christink.5264]

You are one of the main reasons why I started teaching myself to sew. You make the most lovely dresses and you’re so inspiring! Well done 🥰

[@RoseryApparel]

Thanks Christin! I’m so glad you’ve been inspired to give sewing a go x

I moved house last weekend and haven't set up my sewing space yet but I've been so excited to get back into it! I was halfway through your milkmaid dress tutorial. Your videos always make me even more keen for sewing ☺️

[@carolyngrotaers4454]

This is a fabulous video, Janelle. I like how you make the behind the brand video They are a great mix to add to your KZbin channel. 😀

[@RoseryApparel]

Thanks so much! I’m so glad you like them 🧡

[@lizworkman9967]

Just buy Libbys pumpkin pie filling if your stores carry it, (the regular one not the one with the spices) and follow the recipe on the back. It's the best!

[@RoseryApparel]

I haven’t been able to find any pumpkin pie filling here so looks like I’ll have to make it from scratch x

[@lvcarlton]

I tried out a classic Betty Crocker pumpkin pie filling recipe last year and it turned out great! It was a recipe from a reissue of the original 1950s Betty Crocker Cookbook, which is really cute and organized, though definitely has some outdated life advice in there lol. I also used the crust recipe which turned out great, though it does use shortening, but I used a coconut oil based shortening that worked out great!

[@kristyhough2367]

Hello there from Westwold BC Canada I’ve now bought 5 patterns of yours and have made 4 dresses in two weeks, I just love your patterns😊❤️

[@sharonbrinders1224]

Thanks for sharing your space with us Janelle, really inspiring. Love your fabric, really pretty.

I really enjoy these videos. It's cool to see what sorts of things small creative businesses do to keep things moving smoothly. It's not always glamorous, but it's satisfying in a way. Congrats on having the freedom to earn from your creativity (both KZbin and your shop)!

[@RoseryApparel]

Thank you so much! It’s a dream come true being able to sew for a living x

[@donnamichelle_42]

Hello from WV, for any pumpkin recipe I use the spice mixture of 1tsp cinnamon, 1/2tsp ginger and 1/4 tsp cloves. This will make one pie. I adjust as needed (double the spices…etc) if I double the recipe or I am making pumpkin bread. The best pumpkin pie recipe I have ever found is the original Libby’s famous pumpkin pie. I don’t use as much salt as is called for. I only use a pinch. Happy baking :)

[@patriciaconiglio6717]

Very enjoyable and informative video. Love all your videos and the lovely background music. Your pie plate is so cute and such a pretty color.

[@lauriepayseur5897]

janelle! Of course we stay til the end… we want all the info, lol. And Pumpkin is my favorite pie. I love mine crustless as I feel most crusts add nothing of value & therefore a waste of my carb count 😂. Trust me, the crust less cooks exactly the same way 😉

[@MsBubu26]

Great job Janelle! ☺️

[@RachelBearn]

Love these behind the scenes videos! Always my favourite ❤

[@bowerbirdstyle7661]

The floral bedsheets are so beautiful.

[@olivers333]

I LOVE your videos SO much Janelle. It’s just like chilling out with a friend while I have my cuppa. Those instruction books look AMAZING all together like that, such beautiful colours! Your new dress is beautiful and so are the fabrics for kits. I have that same pie dish but in a light grey. Yours is way cooler lol. Looking forward to the thrifting video! X

This is SUCH a lovely comment Sonia! Thank you, I’m so glad you feel that way 🥰 x

Hi Janelle, Thank you for designing dresses that are simple to follow. I have made a Rosa Dress, a Pansy Dress and a Hazel dress and they work so well as every day wardrobe staples.

Hi Janelle. I've just received your Hannah skirt pattern and I'm about to start the pattern hack you shared to add pockets. Mine will be in woollen plaid for the winter here in Kent, England. I've been really inspired since watching your channel especially with pattern hacking as I've never done that before but I'm feeling more confident about it as you explain things so well and having a video to refer to is so helpful. Keep up the good work and happy sewing 🧵

[@dustygrrl]

I sat down to watch the video while I was wondering where I could quickly find a pocket pattern. The video reminded me that you have one. Thanks!

[@michelleking9533]

I always enjoy watching your Behind the Brand videos! You are a very busy bee 🐝 Thrift shopping is definitely inspiring! I recently found some beautiful floral pillow cases with a gathered border that I am envisioning as a Hannah wrap skirt in View A. Fingers crossed there is enough fabric! 🤞

If they sell Libby’s brand pumpkin purée where you live, there’s a recipe for pumpkin pie on the back. That’s the one my dad has made my whole life and he says it’s the only one he will ever make. So take that for what it’s worth😅 I absolutely love it!! And I highly recommend serving it cold, topped with homemade whipped cream. Perfection👌🏻

[@desireedeboer9811]

Hello, Janelle, the clock turns to wintertime in the Netherlands (the time return one hour back), so we can sleep one hour more😊. But i was your lovely video, it was great again. It's at this moment 10.37 hour in the morning. Greeting Desiree

[@Hannahhink]

I love your channel and I will purchase a pattern of you soon 😊 just waiting on my spotlight delivery (which is delayed because I live in rural North qld lol) 🤣 and once I have it I will decide on which pattern I'll go with 😍 you are such an inspiration and just a very beautiful person to look at and listen too 😊😊

Nice! I hope it works as well for you as it does for me!

[@lizvanwessem2055]

Can't directly recommend it, as I haven't made it (the only thing I've ever made with pumpkin is soup!) but if you have left over canned pumpkin and you're looking for something different to make, Dominique Sasche has a video on making pumpkin bread on her channel which went live a few days ago. She's in the US (Texas), googling will easily find her. :) good luck - do share your results, I don't think I've even eaten pumpkin pie - it's not a regular thing here in the UK that I remember seeing :) One suggestion for a video for the future. For people who want to do like you do, to thrift material from bedsheets etc. for sewing with: what is it that you look for when deciding whether to buy something? obviously fabric pattern/colours is one, as is the state of the fabric (no stains etc) but beyond that - how do you determine what the fabric is made of, weight, size, whether it's suitable for dressmaking etc. You have a lot of knowledge and experience on this front in your head and it'd be great to be able to see some of that for those of us who are just getting started with it! Thank you :)

[@sarahdiana8934]

The Pansy dress is so beautiful! I have been thinking I'd like to try making one but wondering if it would be difficult to make the neckline a little wider and lower.

[@RoseryApparel]

It’s not too difficult to alter, so long as you change the front and back pieces the same amount so they still match. Maybe I need to share a video on how to do it 😊

[@sarahdiana8934]

Thank you! If you could make a video that would be great...I might just try it anyway.

[@gisellejones1139]

What size needle do you use to sew up your instruction booklets?

@@RoseryApparel definitely is and very good, also you don't have to add as much sugar because the potato is sweeter than pumpkin. Very good recipes online. I highly recommend.

[@vikkibendle1749]

Janelle may be able to give you a better reply with regard to her lovely patterns but in Australia out sizes tend to be 2 more than the US.. eg in Australia I am a 16 and I believe that is a 12 in the US.

Thanks for being interested in the Pansy! The Pansy is designed to be an oversized fit, and you can find the size guide and finished garment measurements here (with the size guide it’s best to go with the size that is closest to your measurements): www.roseryapparel.com/pansy
