The Edit: New Sewing Patterns - 30th June

[@aasepeerless5023]

Great start to Sunday morning as always. Just a personal comment. Am I the only one who thinks that dresses where the gathers start above the bust make you look twice as big as you are? 😊

[@janeybwells2810]

Maternity springs to mind! Not for me, I think you at least have to be tall to carry them off.

[@aasepeerless5023]

I am tall - and still NO.

[@rewghob]

Certain people look good I'm that style, but generally petite women. I notice a lot of East Asians wear and suit that smock style. It's not for me because it reminds me of little girl's dresses.

[@melaniehodgson4093]

I have to agree too on the bigger boobs and small stature issue with the Honey dress, I love the Lilian slip dress though and the embroidery design is gorgeous.

[@ctaylorluce]

It very much depends on how stiff or drapey your fabric is, I think.

[@cavelleardiel]

I could put all of my wool and other knitting in those poufs!

[@leannetester6334]

I loved the interview with Patrick Grant. You both looked so relaxed and at ease with each other. Regarding the fabric stash poof, I have to shout out the Closet Core poof. It's free! Not necessarily for beginners as it has panels but I've made three, stuffed with scraps and old curtains. You could definitely stuff with unused fabric but the stuffing itself is a bit of a challenge if you don't want lumps and bumps showing. Perhaps a future episode on scrap busting patterns? Love your channel! ❤

[@melaniehodgson4093]

Yes to the scrap busting pattern round up.

[@TheFoldLine]

Great idea!!

[@michaleesloan6777]

Both merchant and mills dresses would make great night gowns

[@janetcollinson4587]

No apologies needed. The interview with Patrick was brilliant 🎉

[@debrariley2057]

The only thing with a scrap pouffe is, they get very heavy as you fill them up, can be hard to move around, which may be a plus in some homes, Great Sunday catch up as always. Thanks for taking the time to share.

[@drhelenloney1426]

Mitred corners on the M & M ‘s dress. Lovely

[@MsSavvy9]

I love the pouf! When I stopped wearing synthetics, I donated most garments, but anything not worth donating, I used to stuff a bed for my great dane... It was a lot hahaha. I highly recommend shredding the materials so you have an even density and it doesn't settle all lumpy.

[@jw9584]

So glad you mentioned the website as I've been having a bit of trouble with the filters. I've tried a few times this week to filter by size and/or style on Coats & Jackets and I just get the spinning wheel of doom. Sorry to be negative ☹. On a positive note, love everything you do! 😊

[@TheFoldLine]

Ahh ok thank you for this I'll get our developers to take a look thanks

[@emma8547]

The pouffe would be great for storing stuffed animals

[@bernieeyre6033]

Zero waste pouffe - genius.😁

[@nerllybird]

M&M have also released an embroidery template for the Honey Dress ❤

[@nerllybird]

We're calling it a mitred join 😊😊😊

[@emmaaustin123]

Welcome to the pouf house! You can sleep on the pouf mattress. :)

[@TheFoldLine]

Ha ha ha!!!

[@neon.neutral]

The ziggy skirt is really interesting. I like it much more than the regular tiered maxi skirts that are everywhere

[@TheFoldLine]

it's great isn't it!

[@hindolbittern]

Poufe for spare duvet or pillows for an occasionally used sofa bed?

[@TheFoldLine]

great Idea!

[@thenorthernsewist]

Thanks Kate. Love your new website and the fact that you can gain points is brilliant! Love it! Just working my way through the patterns trying to remember what was on my wish list watching your videos again! 🤣🤣🤣

[@TheFoldLine]

Ahh thank you and I'm so sorry about the wishlists - I can't tell you how hard we tried to get them accross!

[@karolmolpus9536]

Great as Always 😊

[@karenkeith7558]

Miter. It's called a "miter" ("mitre", if preferred).

[@annerankin1191]

75K fabric storing poufs = brilliant! 😂 xox

[@helenrose4116]

Loving the new website 😍

[@D.P-x9b]

It’s a mitered corner.

[@pollydolly9723]

Thanks Kate ❤️

[@craftymystic4868]

Late, should I have gotten an email from you to click here and (it’s not in front of me) take some action on your new website? I do have an account, since you mentioned Ticonderoga it, thought I’d ask. Thanks.

[@TheFoldLine]

Yes you should have got an email - not to worry if you email [e-mail] we can get a new code sent straight out

[@jodikasper7995]

Welcome back Kate! I hope you had a blast with your girlfriends:))

[@TheFoldLine]

Yes! Thank you it was amazing. xx

[@judithhamid5435]

The M&M dress has 'mitred' corners - a woodworking term!

[@nommh]

A sewing term too since corners began.

[@TheFoldLine]

My partner is a carpenter so think that is where that came from!

[@nommh]

@@judithhamid5435 Since the term mitre comes from the shape of a bishops hat I would not be too sure about that. Then there is always the possibility that the joiners wrote about it earlier, but really got the word from the way their mothers shaped the hems of heavy linen table cloths…

[@debbiecarter6430]

Thanks Kate 😊

[@juanitavegadejoseph8940]

Gosh ❤❤love love the boat neck , rugby collar dress and the pouffe! The thought of 75 pouffes throughout the house took me out😂😂😂❤

[@TheFoldLine]

Ha - an obstacle course of them

[@jellyspoon4]

I have wondered this for months. What is the wood on the back of your door for? 🤔

[@TheFoldLine]

It's for hanging things on the door 🤭

[@martimoore740]

No, sorry, I don't have furniture. Only poufs.

[@TheFoldLine]

this made ma laugh a lot!

[@jo-annefalconer6280]

Are you stocking the Sydney designer dress add on pack? I would love to hear your thoughts on it.

[@lynnfrench4969]

❤

[@soniabutler6280]

mitre

[@mel_issa__]

I am so happy the new website allows me to SORT the patterns. Been missing this. Great job on moving the website 🎉

[@danielleschultz9466]

Omg that polo dress is a horrible fit. It’s way too tight over the bust and the armholes are too small for the model. No wonder people don’t know how things are supposed to fit when pattern companies show models like this.

[@susanhemion2981]

Mitered corner?

[@TheFoldLine]

I think it's actually a woodwork term - my other half is a carpenter!

[@jamie8510]

The new website has deleted all my wishlists 😭

[@TheFoldLine]

Hi Jamie, Yes sadly it was one of the things we couldn't transfer over, We might be able to supply you with a list of your pattern stored if you email [e-mail]

[@victoriaconstantine-cort3091]

xXX👍👍👍

[@juliadroy1179]

Loved the interview with Patrick, great patterns xx

[@nommh]

Congrats to the website shift. Did I not look well enough or has the search filter for pdfs been lost in transport? As a European I‘d only buy a paper pattern if there is absolutely no other way to get it.

[@Jude_B]

Type pdf in the search bar, all PDFs appear, then you can filter and sort.

[@BridgetEscolme]

LOVED the M&M Honey and the stripy skirt. Oh Lordy, too much on the list!

[@TheFoldLine]

So much- same here!

[@lynncarter8012]

When I click on ‘more’ to get the links to the patterns I just get the link to the Ziggy skirt. Can you advise what I’m doing wrong? Thank you. Love your videos Kate

[@TheFoldLine]

I think you just need to keep scrolling and the patterns are listed..

[@lynncarter8012]

@@TheFoldLine thank you.

[@elsafischer3247]

Your new site is wonderful

[@TheFoldLine]

Thank you - that's made my day!

[@Heyreneesews]

The new website is excellent ❤

[@TheFoldLine]

Ahh thank you it's been a beast of a project!
