You made a fabric that I would have been so disappointed receiving into something that is so happy and looks so great in your pattern selections. I can see you wearing it all summer!

[@dizzyquiltsandsews]

Thank you so much Kathleen! I can’t wait to wear this outfit. Of course the weather has turned and it’s been a lot chillier this week. 🤣

[@nataliebateman6980]

Fabulous co-ord set! Love how you do your think pink vlogs, opening and then showing what you make!! 💕

[@dizzyquiltsandsews]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@donnaschindlbeck7457]

Izzy, I absolutely love this fabric and what you’ve created! One of my favorites is purple, lilac or lavender too. If you have enough of that linen you could make a PE Songbird as a light coverup to go with the pants.😊

[@dizzyquiltsandsews]

Thank you so much Donna! Would linen work for the Songbird? In my mind, I keep thinking I need a very lightweight, floaty fabric for it.

[@nancyhilborn885]

I love both pieces. The fabric colours are bold and beautiful. They look great on you. So nice that they will mix and match with other garments in your wardrobe.

[@dizzyquiltsandsews]

Thank you so much!

[@greenquiltsgalore1326]

What a success! Both items look lovely!

[@dizzyquiltsandsews]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@shellyscott8275]

Oh Wow Issy 😃 What beautiful makes with this (to me) unpromising fabric. The garments and the fabric look so sunshine gorgeous and summery on you: And, just to think you’re getting a whole new wardrobe from your inspiration too. Another lovely interesting video Issy; thank you so much for sharing. By the way, I really enjoyed the island footage in a previous video. Idyllic 😊 xx

[@dizzyquiltsandsews]

Thank you so much - for your sweet comment and for watching! 😊

[@AndraMakes]

So fun, Izzy! Perfect for summer, and for mixing and matching! 💗

[@dizzyquiltsandsews]

Yes! Thank you Andra! Xx 💞

[@gerrysiebert8639]

Didnt like the fabric pattern or colours until you made top and culottes! Talk about excellent choice of pattern to fabric matching! You look great!

[@dizzyquiltsandsews]

Aww thank you so much! I agonized over this one, but I’m very pleased. 😊

[@socarole66]

Oh my goodness that outfit is so cute on you! That is one piece of fabric that could well have ended up on my wheel in a couple of years time 😂. You made the perfect things out of it and I'm so glad you are pleased as well. Fab job 🧡💜 xx

[@dizzyquiltsandsews]

🤣 I really had such a hard time deciding what to make with this one because it’s very bright, very « in your face » and that’s not what I normally go for, but for summer, I figured « why not! » Hubby did ask me to « turn it down » when I showed him the full outfit. 🤣 xx 💞

[@LeonieLang-lr4pt]

Love the colour and garment looks great on you,

[@dizzyquiltsandsews]

Thank you very much for watching!

[@user-wu7sv6hr7v]

Those two pieces are amazing and will be great with other things, but I love them together! The fabric reminds me of Marimekko prints or Nani Iro - really special. It's not silly to not want to do a zipper - I've been avoiding them for decades, ha, ha! As always, the instant gratification of your makes with the fabric box is so much fun for the viewer - wish I could sew that fast 😆!

[@dizzyquiltsandsews]

Thank you! I’m really trying to avoid zippers too 🤣 First of all, they just aren’t comfortable are they? And second, I don’t want to mess with them. Elastic is so much easier!

[@julieinnis2219]

Hi Izzy, your choice of pattern for this very striking fabric is just perfect. The culottes and camisole really suit you - so happy for you. 🌸

[@dizzyquiltsandsews]

Thank you so much! I’m so pleased with my little outfit!

[@ZeldaSews]

Izzy, your is beautiful! I love the colors. Valoo... 😅😅😅

[@dizzyquiltsandsews]

Thank you so much Zelda! 😀

[@fionajohnson5842]

Perfect pattern and fabric pairing Izzy. You make such great choices and the results speak for themselves. I love it.

[@dizzyquiltsandsews]

You’re very sweet Fiona - thank you so much!

[@maggiecraven9625]

Lovely outfit Izzy. The Think Pink fabric is lovely and it suits you so well. ❤

[@dizzyquiltsandsews]

Thank you so much!

[@aleciacope3503]

Izzy, your new summer outfit is the best use of April's fabric I've seen. Good job! Before you mentioned the Vernon in linen, I was thinking a Gilbert in a coordinating purple color would make a great topper/shirt. Regardless, you look fantastic and all set for summer in your new outfit!

[@dizzyquiltsandsews]

Thank you - that’s very sweet of you! I’m having a very hard time deciding what to make with my purple linen - so many great topper/shirt patterns out there!!

[@ErinSews]

Wow that ensemble is absolutely stunning! It’s so summery and perfect. When you first showed the fabric, I was glad I had seen the thumbnail picture of your outfit because I couldn’t picture anything 3D with it. Something about the scale of the print maybe? Idk but you clearly had a vision and it turned out beautifully!

[@dizzyquiltsandsews]

Thank you so much Erin! To be perfectly honest, I didn’t have very high expectations for this outfit as I was making it. 🤣 But when I tried it on, I just loved it so much! The fabric is definitely not something I would have chosen, but it worked out!!

[@andreayucis2008]

Wow!! Love your new outfit! Great choice of patterns for that beautiful fabric, and you look great in both pieces!!

[@dizzyquiltsandsews]

Thank you so much!

[@Kakkydidit]

What a fun fabric. I love this outfit! I hope you enjoy having this. - Kelly

[@dizzyquiltsandsews]

Thank you so much!!

[@SewMyTime]

Inspired choice Izzie and look forward to seeing your mini capsule wardrobe around it! Perfect summer outfit. I have the green and pink colourway and still procrastinating over what to make - keep switching between a dress (the new Fibremood with back ties) or a Co- ord set. I get the large box so have 4 metres to play with!! Just made up my Nerida Hansen floral fabric( box 26) into a hacked version of the Named Clothing Reeta dress which I love. Can’t wait to see the new box. 😊. Happy Sewing. Lynne

[@dizzyquiltsandsews]

I loved the green/pink colourway!! It would make a stunning Reeta shirtdress! Xx

[@suemacfarlane7372]

What a fabulous set! Love it!!!

[@dizzyquiltsandsews]

Thank you Sue! 💞

[@millysews5646]

Great Outfit!

[@dizzyquiltsandsews]

Thank you!

[@TheFrenchSeams_vlog]

This looks amazing! What a fabulous use of the fabric! It looks so great on you

[@dizzyquiltsandsews]

Thank you so much! I can’t believe how pleased I am with the whole outfit. Cannot wait to wear it out!!

[@Beyondthepinkdoor]

Wow I love this outfit on you Izzy , it’s sensational. I think you’ll get lots of wear from these together and in separate outfits 💜🧡

[@dizzyquiltsandsews]

Thank you Andrea! I just got this month’s box and I’m in love. Already know what I’m making with it!! 💞

[@ChristineSewsALot]

Your outfit looks so good! I loves great matching set and the bonus is you will be able to wear both as separates. This was a super successful box.

[@dizzyquiltsandsews]

Thank you Christine! It really was a very successful box! Xx

[@albertaoconnor3346]

Cute outfit. Looks cool for summer.

Your outfit is perfect on you!

[@dizzyquiltsandsews]

Thank you so much!

[@jankerslake5813]

A great outfit. Looks very good on you. I was t sure about the colour but it really suits you.

[@dizzyquiltsandsews]

Thank you so much!

[@angiemcconnell9070]

That is so cute on you! You look great on the Avola top. I do not like the look of my arms so I always make sure that I have sleeves. I still need to figure out what I am doing to do with my fabric. I got the same as your but I think I would have liked the pink one better or the turquoise. But I need to learn to be happy with what I got. I am still trying to make up my mind about the box. I need to work harder to make up the fabric, but that will come as I work the fit issues out of more patterns and get more TNT patterns. Have a great week!

[@dizzyquiltsandsews]

Thank you! I would have loved the pink/green version too. And yes, once you have a few TNTs, they are perfect for the Think Pink fabric.

[@nancynewman6592]

Wow Adorable ! and great fit 😃 I never worry about a back seam in a waistband, all men's pants have it for alterations.

[@dizzyquiltsandsews]

Thank you Nancy!! Oh I don’t usually worry about them either, but in the case of this waistband, I basically have 2 seams in the back 🤣

[@nancynewman6592]

@@dizzyquiltsandsews 😂That is pretty good.. 2 seams :)

[@MountainAccentsSewing]

You nailed it! I love your matchy-matchy outfit. I received the same colorway. I wasn't too sure if I could wear it or not, but I believe I can after seeing you wearing it. 😊

[@dizzyquiltsandsews]

Thank you Cynthia! You can totally wear those colours.

[@InAgatasCottage]

Fabulous outfit, Izzy.

[@dizzyquiltsandsews]

Thank you Agata!

[@soulaplaitis6973]

Wow Izzy, when you showed the culotte pattern I thought hmmmm not sure , the result is amazing. You look great I that outfit almost looks like a cute summer dress. Well done .

[@dizzyquiltsandsews]

Thank you Soula! You are so right - it almost looks like a dress doesn’t it?

[@amierikke6225]

You look adorable! Great job, you’ve knocked it out of the park! 🎉🙌⚾️. I’m subscribed to Beyond the Pink Door and I received the green/pink colorway which is not in my prescribed color season of cool summer but hey, it’s ok! I do like yours on you. I’m thinking of making a Stina skirt from Atelier Joup out of mine. I’m amazed you were able to get both of your garments out of the 2.5 meters!

[@dizzyquiltsandsews]

Thank you! I loved the pink/green colourway and it would be gorgeous as a skirt. So comfy and floaty too! It was a tight squeeze, but I managed it! 🤣

[@kgflcreations]

Wow Izzy, what a beautiful set!!! Now you are definitely ready for the summer 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻. I still haven’t cut into my fabric, but it will be done soon ( next month hopefully 🤞).

[@dizzyquiltsandsews]

Thank you Karen! And guess what? As soon as the outfit was done, the weather got really chilly and wet 😩 So I haven’t been able to wear it yet. Crossing my fingers I can bring it to the island this weekend and wear it then!!

[@KTquiltsandsews]

loving this outfit on you Izzy! May end up copying that Avola top or maybe even make myself the dress. I already have the purple geometric we received in our box tagged as a wearable toile for that fabric. Your culottes are adorable...I have sooooo many patterns but have always wanted to try one from Helen's closet. xx Karen

[@dizzyquiltsandsews]

Thank you Karen! I’m so tempted to make the Avola dress - it’s so pretty!! Helen’s Closet has a few really nice patterns - she’s also got a free one if you just want to give it a try! Xx

[@whatbecsews]

Love your make! We got the same colour and I just think this looks gorgeous on you x

[@dizzyquiltsandsews]

Thank you so much! Xx

[@Avril-Steward]

I think you cracked it. Love the cami. Andrea has such great fabrics, I think a visit to Poundbury maybe on my schedule this summer.

[@dizzyquiltsandsews]

Thank you so much! I really wish I could visit her shop. I’m trying to think of a way to plan a work visit to the UK soon so I can go over! 🤣

[@sew_So_beautiful]

I think you look good in those colours. I have the same coloured fabric. The orange is almost on the verge of being florescent and all florescents are best on winter colouring. My son is a blond winter and looks amazing in florescents and black. They are his best colours. The purple is a cool, clear purple, so it's good for you too. That's really a cute outfit. I have a dress pattern I want to make from mine, but now you are making me think. Lol. I'm definitely an autumn colouring, but I'm going to pretend that it's my perfect orange anyway, even though it isn't my purple. It's my favourite purple though. So I love it anyway.

[@dizzyquiltsandsews]

Thank you so much! We should definitely wear the colours we love, no matter what our « season » says we should wear. It’s a beautiful purple so I completely understand why you love it.

[@bernadettebyrne3970]

Love your outfit and colourway. I got the pink and green version and am still procrastinating about what to sew. Overthinking it I think!

[@dizzyquiltsandsews]

Thank you! I love the pink and green colourway. That’s why I always sew my fabric right away - no time to overthink. 🤣

[@joanneblair2087]

Lovely outfit.

[@dizzyquiltsandsews]

Thank you Joanne! ☺️

[@marciakistner8977]

Izzy, stunning outfit! The colors are great on you. Are Helen's Closet patterns easy to follow? You look beautiful! ❤

[@dizzyquiltsandsews]

Thank you! And yes, Helen’s Closet patterns are EXTREMELY easy to follow. She’s got amazing instructions! 💞

[@irenegilchrist2439]

Your outfit looks amazing Izzy. I have the same colourway and am still dithering about what to make. It’s almost winter here in Australia so I might put it on hold till Spring.. Have you finished your Sloper school? I need to get back to it before it’s too late.

[@dizzyquiltsandsews]

Thank you! Yeah I can see how this might be more appropriate for summer. I’m not finished with my sloper but I have watched all the videos now. I want to schedule a day with my daughter where she can help me with the fit on the back by pinning folds, etc. I really want to try making all the remaining changes in one go if I can. But I feel like I’m really close because I don’t really need the skirt to fit me perfectly (I rarely/never make fitted dresses/skirts). I just want to get the bodice almost perfect.

[@suewilbur504]

Wow - love your new outfit!!

[@dizzyquiltsandsews]

Thank you Sue!

[@lynnshepard7485]

I love how your outfit turned out, Izzy! I received the same colorway; I’m still totally stumped as to what it will become.

[@dizzyquiltsandsews]

Thank you Lynn! I really struggled with this one. But I’m so happy with the makes! I just received this month’s box and I already have a plan for it. So go figure!! 🤣

[@lynnshepard7485]

@@dizzyquiltsandsews Wow, that’s fast! I just received my first shipping notice that my box has left Andrea’s shop. Ha! I hope we get something wonderful that fits into our wardrobe. Right now I’m searching for a plain purple to coordinate with May’s box.
