Christine,Christine, you little witch, you held me spellbound, what magic you have wrought! I love absolutely everything that you have created and can’t choose a favourite as they are all outstanding! I love your Ox Bow bag which will be great as a “carry on”,you have earned a rest so l hope your cruise does you good.I can’t wait to see what plans you have for the Autumn.I have just returned from the glorious weather in Portugal and in Lancashire today it feels like Winter🥶The central heating is on. I am going to make a brew and then watch your video again as I thoroughly enjoyed it.💖

[@The_Gemini_Stitcher]

Never been called a witch but I love reading your comments. Well we just need to book another holiday don’t we

[@jankerslake5813]

Wow Christine, despite watching all your vlogs I hadn’t realised quite how many outfits you’d made! Amazing. You probably don’t ever sleep. 🤣🤣. Hope you get to enjoy all your beautiful makes on your hols. 😄

[@The_Gemini_Stitcher]

Neither did I. I’m trying to slow down and do more detailed sewing, but when the ideas come into my head I get frustrated if I don’t create them🤣🤣🤣

[@jankerslake5813]

@@The_Gemini_Stitcher just do what you enjoy my lovely. You make some great things. You’re an inspiration!!

The Tuesday child's bag is beautiful!! And happy to see the swim costume made. I loved it!!

[@jamilehbaadarani4740]

Great beautiful makes Christine

[@The_Gemini_Stitcher]

Thank you so much xxx

[@sarahmay3307]

Fab makes, also love Esme - pay attention to me Mum. I especially like your lace Zenith blouse - it really looks elevated and the lace collar is wonderful. Also your Oxbow bag is just stunning.

[@The_Gemini_Stitcher]

Yea I love the zenith blouse and the oxbow fitted all my Barcelona fabrics in coming home today😍

[@shirleyeggenschwiler9482]

Beautiful !!

[@nicky-sewsnip5903]

Great holiday wardrobe 😊

[@norahsouthwell2241]

What an amazing collection Christine. You have been busy. Thank you for sharing. I love watching your videos 👏🌈

[@The_Gemini_Stitcher]

Thanks I’m trying to limit myself to one garment a week from now on

[@ladylouise1969]

Your dog is adorable!! My dogs were always a bit miffed when I sewed, keeping their head(s) in my lap, etc...!! :+) Everything looks fab!

[@The_Gemini_Stitcher]

Haha mine jump on the chair behind me, climb on my shoulders and tap me on the head for attention!

[@sequingirlie]

Gorgeous dresses Christine. I'm building up to a swimsuit. Your new Belle dress is fab. Xx

[@The_Gemini_Stitcher]

Thanks, the swimsuit wasn’t too hard tbh just fiddly xx

[@robinsteward9965]

Hi Christine, Omg! Absolutely love, love all of your beautiful makes! I have been eyeing the Donny shirt and the Ox Bow bag. Wishing I had more time to sew, but life keeps taking up sewing time. Have a great holiday and look forward to your holiday photos…Sewing is Magical

[@The_Gemini_Stitcher]

Go for it both the Donny and Oxbow are used and worn regularly. I sized down 2 sizes on the Donny xx

[@robynlaszlo6128]

My goodness such gorgeous makes the style arc Belle dress is on my radar thanks for a fun show😊😊😊

[@The_Gemini_Stitcher]

There’s a really good sew along for the belle here’s the link kzbin.info/www/bejne/fma2aWaeh9-jfq8si=DbNc4YrjzyaxQQmk

[@patriciaannjames8182]

Thank you Christine, love the shorts co-ord and the Maison Fauve blousecand playsuit, I think I'm going to have a try at the playsuit see how I get on, I can always bend your ear if I get into a fix. Thanks again for your videos, do enjoy them.

[@The_Gemini_Stitcher]

You’ll be fine. Just remember to cut down one side of the shoulder pleats and fold back to mark them.

[@antoniaburlingame5921]

Hi Christine. What a lovely collection for a great holiday! The only thing I would add is a pair of long lightweight pants (that's just in case you are like me and sunburn easily but still want to be able to go sightseeing and be comfortable while walking around and exploring). You will be bringing elegance to the cruise. May you have a wonderful time, Antonia

[@The_Gemini_Stitcher]

Thank you. The cruise was amazing and yes I did have long light trousers with me but didn’t wear them if I hadn’t taken them I would’ve burnt my legs and needed them!🤣

[@antoniaburlingame5921]

@@The_Gemini_Stitcher Hi Christine. How true! It's just like bringing a rain coat -- bring it and you never need it, but without it then you usually hit wet weather, Antonia

[@jacquiehonnor4989]

Amazing sewing Christine. Love your beautiful makes, you must have sewing super powers to make up so many! You will look the bees knees on your holiday. Looking forward to seeing your holiday photos with you styling all your wonderful outfits. I sew love your channel ❤

[@The_Gemini_Stitcher]

Aww thanks it is a bit of an addiction I just love creating outfits. X

[@rosiejones4589]

I love your Style Arc dress and I loved it till you turned Rita round "Ruching" 😱 I haven't a clue how to do it could I replace it with gathers x

[@The_Gemini_Stitcher]

Hi Rosie, it’s a separate stirred panel in the back. You could use the pattern piece, cut two of them to create a casing for some elastic, but I’d attach it to the back top and skirt pieces, then thread the elastic through and secure the ends. That should work fine if not better tbh xxx

[@rosiejones4589]

@@The_Gemini_Stitcher Thank's Christine, That's such a great idea and I will now be able to order the pattern. Have you thought of entering the Great British Sewing Bee ? you really should. x

[@The_Gemini_Stitcher]

Your welcome. I have applied for the sewing bee in the past but no joy. Think my back story just isn’t interesting enough as it’s not all about the sewing xxx

[@lynnshepard7485]

I’m sew impressed, Christine! I’m having some troubles putting together the PDF pieces for the Coralee, so I’m sending the AO off to the printer today. I can’t wait to make it! All of your garments are lovely! 😘

[@The_Gemini_Stitcher]

Oh no I got mine ao printed tbh. Xxx

[@lynnshepard7485]

@@The_Gemini_Stitcher How much fabric did your size need? I can’t find a fabric requirement chart anywhere in the PDF instructions. I might just be daft today. 😂 I went ahead and ordered 2 yards. Maybe that will be enough for the one piece & the two piece. 🤔

[@lynnshepard7485]

Oops…I’m a goofball. I just found the requirements!
