00:00 Introduction
03:09 New Fabrics
08:15 Please tell me what you call the fabrics that are like a heavy t-shirt fabric to make a dress?
10:03 I really like the double sided bubble cord fabric that you showed on the live last week and would like to make the Ilford Jacket with it. I have never made this jacket before because it seems like the ease would make it huge and I can’t downsize as would make the smallest size, but I thought the fleecy back of the fabric would make it come up smaller. Is this likely? Also, regarding the button placket and collar, how would they work in the double sided fabric? Finally, I am guessing I would have to make the sleeve version without the sleeve placket…sorry about so many questions but have not got the Ilford pattern and only want to buy it if I think it would be feasible!
11:59 Should I size up when making the Ilford jacket in the bubble fur backed cord due to it being a double layered fabric?Also loving the new Autumn fabrics, I am really inspired and have so many plans!
14:18 I’m planning an I Am Hathor, and want to line it ideally with a fleece would it need to be non stretch or would your fleeces work? Many thanks Jane
16:00 You mentioned last week that for the marlo cardigan's collar/neckband could be adjusted for woven/non stretch, how would you go about that?
17:52 I love the black and oatmeal double faced viscose knit and wanted to make a simple cardigan with black on the outer but then where I can roll up the sleeves a bit and show off the oatmeal colour (if that makes sense)? Can you French seam a jersey so there’s no raw seams showing on the turned up sleeve bit? Or any other suggestions?
19:19 Just wondering if you miss being a physiotherapist?
23:08 ow to change the buttons placard on a norma blouse to a normal v-neck
24:28 Do you think overlockers are worth it? I hate how untidy my seams look with a ZZ stitch
Should I buy an overlocker?
26:51 Tips for leveling the hem on a bias cut skirt
31:17 Is it ok to use ready made cotton bias binding on a viscose garment?
31:35 Do you think that a FM quilla will look ok on a person that needs to do a FBA?
32:30 Just sewing viscose from FG and got 2 snags, any tips, using micro tex needles
33:13 My ginger jeans fitted perfectly until I put on the waist band, which gapes at the back
34:34 I struggle to use carbon copy tracing on fabric? Any tips? Not sure what I am doing wrong?
35:42 Fibremood magazine pattern seam allowances, I am confused. Do I need to add them? 36:19 can I ask about fabric suggestions for Moss Jacket and Marlo sweater for Laurens live please? I'd like something fairly structured for both, I'm wondering if corduroy would work for the Moss and something with stretch, but not too stretchy for the Marlo.
37:19 Non scratchy, autumn, plan coloured fabric for the protea pants please
38:00 I’ve got two meters of a muted leopard print viscose linen, what can I make for Autumn?
38:30 Pattern for a basic woven t-shirt style must have darts for bugger bust Suggestions for a size inclusive quick and easy autumn/winter top please
39:03 Could you recommend a bias cut pattern? Never made one before
39:19 Making my first FPC wilder top today. Any fabric ideas for a party one?
40:15 Recommended coat patterns for maternity (that could be used or adjusted afterwards?
43:20 Please can you advise on fabrics and a pattern for a waterproof jacket?
43:39 Meet milk tencel twill, would this work for shorts like TB emerson?
44:02 suggestions for non-elastic adjustable patterns (e.g. Patterns with ties to get a good fit), particularly around the waist. I'm post-partum, and I am a bit scared of spending my precious free time making something that is too small to wear now, but might then be too big in a few month's time. Trying to move away from using elastic, as I find that my garments look a bit shapeless after a while!
