The Last 12 Makes Of The Year = Some Of My Favourite Dresses 😍 :: December 2021 Sewn Look Book

The teal, bottle green, dress is just gorgeous!

[@TheVampiregirl84]

Yes, that solid color dress is your style, but it does need some waist gathering. I love the fact that you added the special design stitch on the neck. Just add you to it!

[@gailpatenaude9600]

The 1st blouse sown: - just a suggestion, use your French Curve 'convex' positioned down the front openings & cut along your seam line. 1stly put the F.C. up against yourself to see the actual amount it should curve towards the centre. The amount, you'll find will be quite minimal. Here's wishing you & family have a wonderful Christmas Day. Will be looking for your next vlog N.Yr.. I enjoy them very much.

[@embellishedessence908]

Your last dress deserves to be taken out dancing! I just found your channel. Really enjoyed. I'm 67 and it reminds me of the feminine styles of the 70s. I would have worn the heck out of that dress. You are so talented

Hi Sian, I’ve had college training, 3 year course at Medway college of art and design many years ago. Your right on the bad fit pattern issue. It’s about time we all complain about it. They aren’t cheap to buy and not helpful for beginner seamstresses. When I’m using a new pattern I’ll always measure the pattern piece to check on fit. If it’s fitted I’ll make a muslin first. The way you are fitting your clothes for you is perfect. There are many ways in which to fit a garment. You make some stunning clothing and your fit is spot on. Love watching your KZbin videos. Happy Christmas to you and your family 🎄🤩

[@deanalovessewn6117]

Hi Siân!! Wow, amazing job.. Beach Pj’s, Red dress & Teal dress are my favorites of all.. Your dresses fit is amazingly & looks amazing on you.. Thank you for pointing out about the pattern sizes compared to a real fit in what you’ve shown about a true fit…. 💜💜💜🧵🧵🧵

[@laurelnolen2056]

I think my favorite is the 7974 (properly fitted version). The 9199 in the fabric Rachel sent you is also very pretty.

[@michellestrange4716]

All your makes are lovely but the Teal dress M7537 is absolutely stunning on you.

[@tinafisher]

SO much beautifulness!

[@EileenR11]

Lots of nice makes, but I think the final dress is my favourite. The fabric and pattern combination work particularly well.

[@lynneozzyblackbeard]

I love the plain burgundy dress and the last one. Both are very Stevie Nicks (I think I said that before about the plain one!) 🎶 just like the white winged dove sings a song just like she's singing... 🎶 😆😍 Lynne

[@salliecook7528]

I simply love all of the dresses!!!!! Still not sure of the top. Merry Christmas!!!

[@Akramsideas]

Maybe you could add a lace panel to M7659 as well as fully line it. Also I agree that the top of the bishop sleeves need more puff.

[@dianavoermans]

Merry Christmas 🎄🎄🤩💃🏻

[@alexandrawellington8028]

Lovely makes xx

[@Mialinna7]

I wondering if the construction of the garment can make us like or dislike it?🤔🤔🤔 I think I do 😄

[@meghannwhite6633]

Great work!

[@rachellynncreates2703]

Ya know the red… burgundy dress, which I adore, you should put in to the little red dress project.

[@KittenishBehaviourSian]

It hadn't even occurred to me that I could!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@rachellynncreates2703]

@@KittenishBehaviourSian well.. you do want to do more challenges!!! 🤣🤣🤣

[@Hide_and_silk]

Have a wonderful Christmas and thank you for a fabulous year of sewing inspiration!! Xx

[@bevann8624]

If you go back to the drawing board on the M7659, you might want to consider that the facing roll problem may be caused, at least partially, by the ”too snug upper arm” you mentioned. It is a beautiful top. As a new subscriber, I am enjoying watching all your videos and will admit that I have waistline envy. LOL

[@Dizzyknitsandcurls]

I love the McCall’s dress in the proper size! And all the cute scuba makes all around great job this month

[@sosewmad]

What a wonderful selection of dresses! Love everything! So glad you've used the turtle fabric ❤️

[@gemmasremchevich6719]

Hard to choose a fav. They all look great on you. Love the colour in your top. Merry Christmas🎄🎁🥳🍹❤

[@nimuenorth6295]

That's a very productive end of the year you had. I like the last dress you made best, simply because the colour is most 'mine'. I also really enjoy the solid dress and the decorative topstitching turned out to be a beautiful feature. Safe travels tomorrow! ❤️

[@Coastalanne54]

I’m wondering if a v neck opening with the collar may have been more comfortable on your top . Thanks for sharing🤓

[@nataliestanchevski4628]

My favourite is the last dress, mostly because I love tiered and gathered skirts and teal. All of your makes are so lovely and well sewn.

[@moniquegroom2353]

I LOVE the McCall's top on you!!!!!

[@sandrar3124]

Thank you x I love them all but the last is my absolute favourite!! xx

[@kathleengradberg1918]

Beautiful makes! Although you are not pleased with the top you are wearing, the color looks great on you. I'm in the middle of making 5 shoulder dragons. They don't need to be finished until the 1st, phew! Merry Christmas and safe travels to London.

[@stephaniemendes5287]

All of your dresses are just gorgeous on you! I’m amazed at your talents and abilities to sew so well, and so fast! My favorite is the solid burgundy one with the self belt. It’s just beautiful! Happy holidays and enjoy your time with family and loved ones!

[@bellepoupee61]

Wow! Siân, great dresses, the las one it absolutely beautiful! Have a wonderful Christmas with your lovely Wilson... take care and see you next year! Love Christine 🦊🇨🇦🦊

[@janevellenderartist]

Fabulous makes. Hard to choose, but seduced by the turtle print. Have a great festive break

[@carolburgin9628]

I love the teal/green dress that you. Merry Christmas

[@kckazcoll1]

so many beauties, but the beach pyjamas and the McCalls half circle skirt in scuba stand out for me. By the way, what sort of books did you make with your Mum? I may have missed that and am intrigued 🤓

[@mariabull1947]

Wow fabulous makes I loved them all! Happy holidays!

[@blueminnie13]

Amazing! Beautiful looks! I do love the style of the V8972. I still like the McCall's 8167. Lovely color on you! It offers so many possibilities to accessorize depending on the event or weather. I have also struggled with facing curl. I have noticed in ready-to-wear there's sometimes a narrow slightly stretchy piece of clear elastic (not sure what to call it) in the neck area which I think is there prevent stretching. (I've never seen this product in retail stores.) You look great! I have also had some weight loss success with a combination keto/calorie count approach. I sewed in the waist of a number of my pants, so they don't sag, but like you, I am waiting to see where I settle to sew new trousers. Thank you so much for your channel. Best wishes to you and your family in the new year. ❤

[@lindat905]

What about fusable hem tape to hold the facings down

[@amycollinsbijoux2594]

Do you have a shop. Great organized sewing room X

[@scrapsaturdays]

… Will there be or is there a sew along for that last gorgeous gorgeous teal gathered tiered dress ? … it’s stunning on you as, are all your makes ..I appreciate your honest input on sizing that seems to be the most difficult task in sewing my own as a beginner. Thank you for such amazing sewing content this year !!💙💙💙💙 Safe travels darling .. merry Christmas , all the love .. xo Monica

[@KittenishBehaviourSian]

Thank you 😊 there is indeed a sew-along for the original dress here kzbin.info/www/bejne/fnSuYoyrmtBqg9E and I'll be doing a tutorial on the skirt any minute now .....just have to edit it!

[@lilybogaards5089]

What a lovely bunch of makes. It’s so inspiring to see how you persevere with patterns untill you have the fit, style and finish you like. Hope you’re having a great time in London with W. 😽💕

[@moniquegroom2353]

I ADORE the turtle/seahorse scuba!!!! Where'd you get it?

[@KittenishBehaviourSian]

From Cara from So Sew Mad who was sent it in error 😊

[@moniquegroom2353]

​@@KittenishBehaviourSian OMG I love it...will go great with my tattoos. Can you suggest a more current pattern that would be good fir scuba??

[@henriettejosephine]

I like the wide legged trousers best. What I don‘t understand is why you sew so many garments with the exact same print.

[@cr8tivecarbaholic]

The big 4 are notorious for needing alterations to fit properly. The envelope is a GUIDE not the be all, end all. Go Sian Go!!! And that pattern is very cleavagtastic without adjustments ask me how I know..........

[@wolfgangshuman]

Your makes are lovely, I always enjoy your look books, the blouse is a wee bit cleavage-tastic and it was like you had a piece of chewing gum poking out hahaha (bra bow I'm assuming) but I'm just jealous, the cleavage is wonderful, the makes amazing and I love your videos - so of course I'm looking forward to watching your 2022 makes. Enjoy the holidays. AKA Be Kind from WA

[@belinda58sews29]

Can people please stop telling you to cut the size indicated on the package? The whole point of sewing for yourself is to be able to make dresses custom fit to your body and preferences. Your adjustmentsa re for fit, definitely NOT in a way that complete changes the style.
