[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

Oh I’m so happy you enjoy Vlogmas 😊

[@barbfilion5646]

No worries on the chat. love it. The Giselle coat is beautiful, your animal print is great. Wasn't sure you would be on before the girl's getaway. Sure do love the palmar dress, the fabric is gorgeous. You look stunning. A button placket scares the willies out of me. I pray you have a great getaway with your beautiful Sewl Sisters. Take care, stay blessed

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

Thank you so much! A button placket isn’t scary when you do it. I promise. Small steps and you’ll be amazed at what you can do 🫶🏼

[@suzisy-mb7iw]

Never stop chatting. Xx

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

I don’t think I can 🤣

[@callitags]

All the best people come here for the chat. It's wonderful that you don't let comments like that bring you down. Don't you look amazing in that Palmer dress? It's such a gorgeous colorful fabric, and you're such a vibrant person that it suits you and doesn't seem out there or too much. I'm glad you feel as good in it as it looks on you.

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

Thank you so much ☺️

[@karendiesner5008]

Aww thanks lovely x

[@tracycharalambous5223]

For goodness sake woman it's the chat we tune in for. Thanks for another lovely podcast Ruan. Lots of ideas & inspiration we all know take time & effort to put together for the benefit of us long term beginner sewists. Thank for keeping me company whilst I make dinner . 😁 You are appreciated ♥️

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

Thank you so much for your lovely words xx

[@karolmolpus9536]

Love longer coat with the slits and banding ❤lovely ❤

[@kacoa532]

Ruan, lovely makes thanks for sharing. When putting grommets in knit fabric try fusing a square of woven on the underside just for stability it may make it a little stronger than just the knit fabric. Also please don’t ever feel the need to apologize for anything, especially blunt cut fringe🤣

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

Thanks lovely. I did put interfacing on but think I may have made the initial hole too big maybe. The prym tool should hopefully help prevent that in future 🤞

[@sewsisteranna]

Love the hoody - the striped bands really elevate it I think - can’t wait to make one. Great vlog - thx Ruan

[@sewsisteranna]

Meant to say - the Giselle is epic!

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

You’re me inspiring to make coats, definitely in my plans for 2025! 😊Thanks for sharing x

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

Thanks lovely. I could make coats all the time but there’s only so many you can wear I suppose 🤣

Love all of your makes! The Ruan (🐆) prints suit you perfectly. I’ve been wanting to make the Pietra pants for years. Finally bought the pattern and some linen blend fabric. About chatting, it’s your channel, chat if you want to. To the grump who doesn’t like it, those of us who enjoy it say Boo. Happy sewing, Ruan.

Glad you like them!

[@lynnshepard7485]

I’m really excited for Vlogmas! I do love your chats, Ruan. Your makes are fabulous; I especially love your puffer coat! The Nova coat you made for Michelle is gorgeous. I think you’ve given me new motivation for sewing a coat. I’m totally enjoying SkillShare which I bought from your code a while back. I hadn’t seen the course for making the cute button pattern weights. I can’t wait to try that. Unfortunately for me, it will need to wait until after Christmas. Happy sewing, Ruan! 😘

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

Thank you lovely. So glad you’re getting use out of Skillshare 😊

[@cookiebattle]

The sweatshirt and the cuffs go together so well! It looks like a high end sweatshirt.

Re: Grommits/Eyelets or whatever you call them - I recommend you try Prym Power dots (circles of thick interfacing). They really make a difference!
