[@mstoniegreen]

Hello I love to hear you waffle on about sewing, glad I found your channel. I love the dress and I must say the black nail polish is giving me life(I love to polish my nails black). Nothing about sewing bothers me, I take every challenge in stride. Been sewing since I was a kid. Enjoy your bank holiday hope you get some sewing 🧵 ✂️ done. 🙃

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

Sounds like you have the best attitude to sewing 😍

[@sewmuchsewing]

Just stunning. Really lovely. Yes you are such a wallflower... don't like drawing attention to yourself do you? 🤣.

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

Ha ha. Who me?! 👀

[@whatbecsews]

Love the fabric choice 😊 x

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

Thanks hon. Knew you’d appreciate the boldness of it 🤪

[@cindy7702]

Great dress... You look amazing.. That could also be made into a little black dress.. WOW

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

Yes Cindy! You can’t beat a LBD!

[@jacmary6580]

Dress looks great and you look lovely in it 💃 I subscribed to Renata a little while ago, love her content too 😃 as well as sewing I do a little bit of jewellery making too, very much a novice but I like doing it and occasionally I get some ideas that combine the two hobbies, when I saw your dress and you were talking about gape issue I had an idea that might elevate the popper idea. If you get some lobster claws and jump rings (the fasteners for necklaces) you could stitch a few jump rings to either side of the open neckline cut varying length chains (smallest towards the v part of the neckline getting longer as you go towards the neck) and add lobster claws either side of the chains and then attach to one side of the jump rings, put on the dress and fasten the other side and you have a decorative closure! You could use old neck chains that you already have, diamanté or Pearl chains for that really special dress, but the findings for doing this are pretty cheap on Amazon. Haven’t tried it obviously because it has just occurred to me 😃 but I have a dress that gapes so may just have a go to see if it works lol xx

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

Oh that’s such an amazing idea. Would love to see how that works out 😊

[@pollymaxwell5585]

So pretty, I’ve been looking at this pattern for a while now, I’m so glad you made it. Next time you use fray check, try ironing it. You’ll find it will soften and dry the fray check.

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

Oh that’s a fantastic tip. Thank you!

[@louisecampbell8094]

Blooming eck your on fire lady! Your smashing out some stunning makes. Love the dress and the fabric is 🥰 Great vlog as always xx

Hi Ruan congratulations on reaching 7000 subscribers love your 👗 dress 😀I loved your holiday vlogmas from Dawn xx

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

Aww thank you so much Dawn 😊

[@dianehess3706]

You look beautiful in the dress. Personally, I wouldn’t make it because I just don’t look right in it and it’s too low in the neckline. I’m short as well 😒. However, there are other patterns out there that do look good on me and I love see what other people make. It’s always nice to learn something new too. My husband helped set up my new sewing machine, which weighs a ton, yesterday 🥳. I’m trying to decide what I want to make first! Thank you for sharing! Your friend Diane ❤️

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

Oooh you’ve got your machine set up. Yay!!!!

[@dianehess3706]

@@theyorkshiresewgirl yep, so excited! It’s a beautiful Bernina. Fancy 😄. It’s used and I got a really good price on it. Time to play! 😁

[@stitchandstylebynadia]

Absolutely stunning, as always. Thanks for the detailed review. 🥰❤️👍

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

Aww thanks Nadia 😊

[@socarole66]

That dress is stunning on you, it looks amazing. I love doing a little thread chain, there is something about it isn't there and I always smile to myself thinking "hey look at me, I made a chain "🤣😆. You can't beat a bit of hand stitching finishing here and there PLUS you can watch tv at the same time rather than whirring away on a machine 👏🏼. It feels quite "Downton Abbey, posh lady in a room after dinner " kind of feel 🤣. Great video as always 😊

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

Ha ha. You’re so right! I was sat sewing and hubby was sat reading a gardening book 🤣🙈

[@alisonwilliams5355]

Love the dress you made Ruan, the fabric looks amazing with that pattern, well done, great choice.🤩

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

Thank you so much Alison 😊

[@loriannpayne4483]

I think you're making leaps and bounds with your subscribers - you're growing faster than most of the other people I follow. Look - you've already got another 100 subscribers! I rest my case, LOL. Great idea to collaborate with people. Nice dress - love the thread loop you made. Those are fun to make.

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

Aww thanks lovely ☺️

[@janetyler1642]

Love this style on you Ruan and the fabric is definitely you 😜❤️ I sometimes find hand sewing easier😊

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

Aww thanks Jane. I actually don’t mind hand stitching. It’s quite soothing 😊

[@elainemariesews2683]

The dress is lovely😊

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

Thank you 😊

Congratulations Ruan on 7,000 subscribers,well deserved. Hugs Jean.x

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

Aww thank you Jean ☺️

[@amierikke6225]

Love your waffles! I’m here for the waffling, lol. Your dress is gorgeous. I love it. Actually both the wrap and the pink/red striped tee dress! I’m 5’11” and I need to add length everywhere, legs, arms and body. But that is one of the great things about sewing. I can wear things I’d never be able to in RTW. Thanks for the lovely chat. Take care. I’m off to check out Renata’s video!

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

Oh yay another tall person 🙌🏼. And that is it exactly..:we can make to fit our bodies. How amazing is that! 😍

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

Yay! Go for it Beverly 😊

[@sewsarahstitch]

Love your version - I made mine using the pink floral viscose from think a pink box - I added the popper too - essential 🤣 but I absolutely love the super long ties 🥰

[@sewsarahstitch]

Also, lovely to meet you at SewToon today xx

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

Aww was lovely to meet you too Sarah ❤️

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

Yes I can’t get away without a popper…wonder how long it will take for me to sew one in 🤪

Thanks so much honey 😊

[@barbarawiltz9453]

Looks great!

[@alisonlowrie7220]

Thanks so much for this video. I’m just about to make this. I’m at the beginning of my dressmaking journey and I’m struggling to see where the instructions are to make the dress. The only instruction booklet I got with the pattern was how to make the top. Am I missing something? Many thanks

[@ruthlanwarne8978]

Your jumpsuit is gorgeous and the fabric and pairing is spot on. I like to follow the instructions and rarely go my own way. I’m so behind that I’m still waiting to make the Avenir jumpsuit. I can’t wait to make that. Is that jumpsuit quite complicated to make trips to the loo as it has that tie detail ? Otherwise it’s perfect for you 😊

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

Thank you so much - no not complicated at all which is great - and because the waistline is elasticated it's so easy to pop back on! It's a winner for me!

[@vickismallwood2082]

The dress is fabulous and looks fantastic on you.

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

Thank you so much Vicki 😊

[@ynys_mon6928]

I’m such a fan of Rainbow Fabrics. I did have a problem with my last order. I’d ordered 2m of a terracotta corduroy fabric, which my son had chosen for a pair of trousers. When it arrived there was only 1.15m. I emailed them and included a photo of the fabric with a tape measure against it. Got a phone call the following day and agreed they would either send me a replacement 2m or I’d get a refund. Got a refund a couple of hours later. Mistakes happen, but prompt response makes such a difference. Should add I’ve ordered loads of fabric from them previously and not had problems. Always impressed with the quality too.

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

Yes I’ve always been impressed considering the prices! 😊

[@sew_So_beautiful]

I'm like you. I love bias binding. Not only sewing it, but making it too.

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

Yes Linda!

[@ewazalewska5545]

You have made very fancy pants dress Ruan! Looks stunning 🤩 so is the TATB dress. Your wardrobe is full of 💎 Love from @stichingmummy

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

Aww thanks lovely lady 😘

[@sewvintageglamwithunadoyle2775]

Gorgeous dress Ruan ❤️ While I”m not a fan of hand sewing, there are times when it actually saves time in the end, right?

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

Absolutely! It always feels time consuming but saves time in the long run 🙈🤣

[@dianeovenden]

There’s a trick with paper, I saw but don’t know where. So your machining isn’t so fiddly trying to sew something small. 🙄 sorry that was very vague. It may have been on Pinterest. 💝

[@Made_by_Julia]

Put a piece of tissue paper under the fabric. After sewing you can just tear it. This way the machine won't eat the fabric. 😊

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

Yes I’ve hear that too. Really need to give it a go!

[@cjane51]

Gorgeous! But how do you prevent your bra straps showing?

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

Thank you Claudia. I wore a strapless bra 😊

[@sew_So_beautiful]

Hmmm... If it gaps when you sit down, I'll just have to not sit down if I decide to make one. Lol.

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

Ha ha!

[@ChristineSewsALot]

Ruan you have a few comments on here you will want to delete. Must be a robo comment cause no one in their right mind would think sewing vlogs would be the target audience for porn - Weirdos!

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

Thank you lovely. Yes it’s robots. So annoying. I’ve reported them all now. No idea why anyone would want to do that 😠
