What I'm Making For Autumn | Fall Knitting, Sewing & Quilting

[@cindywinkler4172]

You sew what you like and for YOU, shame on the idiots who have an issue with this. I love your blogs

[@RachelBearn]

Thanks lovely ❤️❤️

[@debbiebrannam8252]

Hi Rachel , love all your plans and that you haven’t made an over ambitious list of too many makes. You will be able to make all of these and take your time to enjoy them 😊

[@RachelBearn]

Yes exactly Debbie! Thank you ☺️❤️

[@itssewtanschi]

I love how sustainably you live your life! It’s really inspiring to see how you use your scraps and even old duvets 🫶🏼

[@RachelBearn]

Ah thank you lovely! I don’t always manage it perfectly but trying my best ❤️

[@emmawedge5097]

Hi Rachel, I'm a similar height to you and im curvy (which is code for a large bust!) a video about how you fit your dresses would be so helpful 🩷

[@gericase7513]

I love your comfortable flow dresses❤

[@RachelBearn]

Thank you lovely ❤️

[@jennistevenson796]

Lots of lovely things

[@RachelBearn]

Thank you ☺️❤️

[@kate-emvintage]

These all look like they will be great makes. The socks are going to be fabulous. Love the yarn colour. Pearl is going to look very smart indeed!

[@RachelBearn]

Haha she’s going to have a better wardrobe then me 😂

[@rlduplooy457]

I love your plans and can't wait to see your makes. About the pinafore... have a look at the free Tiana's Closet pattern for the Vera pinafore dress. Thank you for sharing your life and sewing journey with us!

[@RachelBearn]

Thank you for the tip! I definitely will take a look 😊

[@WoollyChats]

when you shared the plaid fabric I automatically thought about the Hinterland dress by Sew liberated

[@RachelBearn]

Yes! Love that pattern 😍

[@vidavictoria25]

Hi! New to your channel and I am hooked. Love your style, taste and how you present everything! :) I don't normally leave YT comments but just wanted to say I'm actually really happy you make flowy, gathered dresses and it's one of the reasons I subscribed! I have IBS and have a swollen tummy a lot, so I'm having a hard time wearing more fitted dresses at the moment. I have been getting a bit disheartened because I really love sewing my own clothes but felt like a lot of patterns I wouldn't feel comfy in/look good in etc. Seeing all of your creations has really inspired me because you look so beautiful in them and they also look super comfortable. I'm so excited to get back to sewing my own dresses again, so thank you so much!

[@RachelBearn]

Thank you for such a lovely comment! It’s so helpful to be able to make clothes when you’re living with chronic conditions isn’t it? You can make them perfectly for you. I’m so glad you feel inspired by my makes! Many more flowy gathered dresses to come haha ❤️

[@imsewblessed1578]

I feel the same way. I have to wear flowy dresses as well due to a condition I have. Being able to wear fitted garments is a luxury some of us don’t get to enjoy. I am so thankful you share your ideas on this because I find it inspiring and relatable to my life. 😊

[@janprattley3312]

Hi Rachel I just just found your videos. I have the same health issues so understand what you are dealing with. I currently sew and knit for charity which I love. Now decided to make more of my own things. I am in New Zealand so we are heading into warmer weather

[@RachelBearn]

Lovely to have you here! Sorry you also struggle with health issues but great to hear you love to craft too ❤️❤️

[@create_something_pretty]

I love your gathered flowers dresses. You are an inspiration. You've gotta make what you enjoy making and wearing. Otherwise what's the point😂😂. Love what your wearing. Is that a liberty print? That colour is gorgeous.❤❤

[@RachelBearn]

Exactly! Haha thank you ❤️ it’s a William Morris print actually ☺️

[@create_something_pretty]

@@RachelBearn Beautiful 😍

[@jayneterry8701]

This is a good time for me to subscribe as i have been following for awhileand cant resist comments lol Only suggestions but now you are starting to quilt! 🎉 yeah! I suggest you check out some video how tos on an Hourglass Block as that is what your pattern is. 🩷 For the wool tweed(?) fabric on the pattern showing the red dress. Eliminate the sleeves for a classic look! Probably lower the armholes for ease . It will also give you room to wear things underneath as well as layers on top.😀 Oh would have loved to have a doggie visit ❤ and Pearl seemed ready and willing! 🐕👍 Great to make a list but then it can be revised 😉🇨🇦

[@RachelBearn]

Thank you for all the advice! Especially with the quilt I will check that out. I am very much a quilt novice haha so hopefully it’ll come out alright. I’ll make sure to include Pearl when I’ve finished her jumpers!

[@cobybreitner6999]

I love all the things you are going to make, also for the dog. Love the colors you are using and oh oh the hot bottle warmer is so nice. Hope to see you soon. Woolly greetings from Holland (Cosy-cot)

[@RachelBearn]

Ah thank you! It’s such a cute pattern isn’t it? Going to need my hot water bottles soon!

[@LeYvette88]

Gorgeous! My tip for greyhound pyjamas is to make one without the legs arms. Make it a giant hole so both legs can fit through. It is much easier to get on and off especially with an older greyhound. They are the best dogs, I had a rescue greyhound and he was the sweetest boy.

[@RachelBearn]

Ah lovely to have a fellow greyhound mum watching! I agree haha they are the best. Thanks for the tips!

[@Lisa-um8jx]

Hi Rachel, please can you share the making of your Indigo dress with us ? I'm curious about the full bust adjustment

[@RachelBearn]

Hi Lisa! I will definitely share the process of doing an FBA in a future finished makes video ☺️❤️

[@sandraHammer-vd9pb]

You're inspiring 😊 love watching your projects ❤️ from Western Australia

[@RachelBearn]

Thank you lovely! ❤️

[@lisabright1543]

I hope Purl will model for us 🤭

[@RachelBearn]

Haha I’ll try to get her to!

[@shirleyclark6709]

We all make what we enjoy, why would you make dresses that were not comfortable for you? I like the baggy flowing style in clothing as well. Your dresses are lovely!😍

[@RachelBearn]

Thank you Shirley ❤️

[@lisaemery6599]

Such fun! I can’t wait to see your floral viscose dress because that fabric is 😍 ! It will look lovely on you!

[@RachelBearn]

Thank you Lisa! Hoping to cut it out this week ✂️

[@ClaireMurray1]

I use old duvets and sheets for making toiles and I’ve also made a couple of dresses out of the main side of the duvet fabric. X

[@RachelBearn]

Ah amazing! They’re so good for making clothes aren’t they?

[@MrsBEHorne]

Such an inspiring video. Thank you 🍂🧡I went looking for the Penny Dress pattern and found one on eBay for £5 inc p&p. Bargain. It reminds me of Toast dresses😍

[@RachelBearn]

Thank you ❤️ Ah yay! So glad you found a bargain! And yes I totally agree it does look like those beautiful toast dresses 😍

[@lesleysmith7452]

ERM EXCUSE ME! Why have you been hiding Pearl from us??? We need more Pearl content please! ❤
