The essential patterns and pieces for a summer wardrobe to beat the rainy blues.

[@gillianhogarth7885]

Your vlogs have become a real go to for me. I find the subjects fit a lot of what I am looking for. Since I started sewing I wear a lot more colour, so you are very inspiring.

[@sequingirlie]

That is so kind. Thank you so much. Your lovely comment inspires me to keep making detailed vlogs xx

[@annsheldrake3554]

How clever of you to address this subject. We have rosy ideas of summer and are easily seduced by beautiful floaty fabrics and summer dress patterns. All ideal for holidays abroad. I love your ideas for different garment types.

[@carolgardiner7983]

Thank you for sharing all that amazing and helpful information. I love having items in my wardrobe that I can layer depending on the weather. And of course I love all your beautiful colors.

You are so very welcome xx

Hi Sam, another great vlog. I tend to just wear dresses, but I try to makes ones that will be good all year, like putting a top underneath with thick tights in the cooler weather and then in the warmer months they are OK on there own. Like you say, I always have a cardi to hand. Take care

[@ritaadler-everett5392]

Your ability to put various fabric designs and colors together in one outfit is bold and absolutely works! As always, your suggestions are thoughtfully presented and realistic and make me want to buy even bolder fabric than I already do! Have you seen the new Itch-to-Stitch Deba Topper pattern? It would also fit nicely into this vlog. Have a great week Sam. Thanks for all your work providing such wonderful content.

I want to feel like it's summer even when it's cool outside also! It helps with my disposition!😅

[@sewsarahstyle]

Great vlog thanks Sam, I agree in terms of making items to fit our lifestyle, it's far more satisfying to make what we actually wear! Tons of fab ideas here thank you! 🤩

[@sequingirlie]

Thank you. It is so nice to have a joyful everyday item to wear. X

[@pinkderdlesews]

Thank you for such a brilliant vlog. What a tricky subject to tackle, The British Summer😂. But you smashed it. Really good suggestions, good pattern ideas and, as always, joyous fabrics ❤🎉. Thank you ❤

[@ruthwilson6524]

Ithankyou a great vlog with helpful ideas - I need summer jackets! think jumpsuits can make you feel summery too. Also easy to layer up.

[@sequingirlie]

I do love a jumpsuit but I'm still working on finding great go tos.

[@daljit2520]

What a down to earth useful vlog. I love your colour sense. Everything is well thought through. My go to cardigan is the Kinder cardigan by Wendy Ward but I need a summer version. My favourite dress is the Indigo by Tilly and my favourite t shirt is the Lark Tee by Grainline Studio. Some cargo pants with pockets would be practical for the summer too. Thanks for inspiration 😊

Great tips ☔️ absolutely love the waterproof fabric and the deckchair fabric is so cool!!!

[@libbykilpatrick1578]

What a fantastic, well thought out vlog Sam. This has inspired me so much to be more intentional with what I am making....thank you for that.❤

Thank you for another fab vlog, very useful . I shall return to it and try out some of your ideas, I love a free pattern !! I totally agree we need to make clothes that fit in with our lifestyle and not just hang in the cupboard . Thanks for taking the time to edit and film your lovely vlogs!!

[@sequingirlie]

Thank you so much xx

[@lovesredsews]

Thank you for a great vlog Sam. I love hearing your thought processes & it’s got me thinking about more autumnal makes 😊

[@nancynewman6592]

Great video and of all things I particularly liked the rain interposed between each segment :) Nice editing !

[@janevellenderartist]

Very inspiring, love a bit of colour

[@karolmolpus9536]

Very good subject! Thank You Sam!!!❤🎉

[@sequingirlie]

You are very welcome

[@Craftytutu]

A great vlog Sam. It’s good to see a vlog with options other than summer dresses. I probably wear a dress twice a year 😂 I like a denim jacket as a layering piece, the Maison Fauve is a good one and has an interesting detail to make it a little bit different. I made it in a cotton twill and it’s perfect for those cooler days 😁

[@sequingirlie]

Thank you so much. I love a denim jacket but I don't feel yet I can give strong recommendations

[@caronlever2019]

Love your hair colour ❤ x

[@sequingirlie]

Thank you. It's starting to hide the grey now x

[@marnieskuse2399]

Great watch - thank you x

[@angelalysandrou4830]

Again a very helpful vlog, you always get me thinking about my wardrobe differently

[@sequingirlie]

Thank you that is so kind x

[@SewCraftyGal]

Fab vlog as always! 😊

[@sequingirlie]

Thank you

[@brenholmes4894]

Your vlog totally chimes with me. I make too many swishy dresses, which I love, but not enough of the comfy, smart but casual, separates that I live in. Colour wise, I have moved away from neutral shades, to colour and I'm loving it. I have made a start by already making a dry waxed cotton bag and I've bought softshell fabric for a rain jacket. However, I have failed in that I am currently making a tiered, viscose, dress, oops.

[@JuanitathesewingTrex]

Fab idea 🦖

[@buzzi2k]

Brilliant idea
