Thankyou for your valued advice on looking for free patterns.

Regards to you all🤗🙏

Great ideas for using up remnants! I Iove the look of the Etty camisole.

Another lovely video. I must download the free tee shirt patterns as I haven’t ever made a tee shirt for myself yet? And also purchase some Lamazi fabric you have got, it is so pretty to make a dress 💕💕

Such a great idea Cath to use remnents! Those patterns too will work really well and colour blocking is genius! I just love those rainbow ones!! Looking forward to seeing what you come up with!

[maureencapobianco]

I love your pattern hacking ideas! I'm looking forward to seeing your makes!

[sewchilled]

I really enjoyed your vlog very inspiring... I look forward to seeing your makes 🙂

[maureencullen]

Fantastic fabrics and patterns.I am looking forward to see what you chose.

Different vlog which is hard considering how many vloggers have gone already! Love to see some knit colour blocking please. And thanks for mentioning some fabric suppliers I'd forgotten about too.

Just popped back here to find the link for the Kimono Tee that I've been thinking about. Thanks for sharing this! It is the answer to my minimal fabric problem. :D

[LizzlebyDesign]

Hi Cath- I always love your fabric/pattern pairings & the hacks that you design!

[karendiesner]

I’m so glad to see you are enjoying the kids’ ABB Tee pattern from DIBY club! I’ve been using their women’s and men’s ABB Tees for some time and they are my go to t-shirt patterns as they fit so well and are so versatile. I have been tempted by the camisole and the kimono tee and have downloaded them as it looks like I’ll get them out of remnants I already have - which is the frugal idea of course! Thank you for your lovely videos - I do enjoy watching them x

[laurihuhn]

Great ideas. Using your remnants is smart. I should look at mine for sew frugal.

[sallydingle]

Great ideas there Cath and lovely fabric remnants too 💝... can't wait to see what you go for 😁👍😘

[ynys_mon]

Lovely ideas Cath, I like you plan to use up remnants. Very inspiring!

[christinehalsey]

What a good idea using jersey remnants to make a colour block garment. I think I might be trying that. A great video as usual Cath. Thank you. x

[lyndaseagrave]

I love the womens ABB tee pattern. I've made a few versions and its fantastic for a free pattern with so many options and brilliant instructions. I have just downloaded the kids version to make some for my nieces out of larger leftover pieces.

[sheilamitchell]

I have just ordered the Lamazi fabric just need to decide what to make with it😊

[chocmeltingcake]

I don't know how you get it all done, but brilliant as always ! :O)

[jennyturner]

I like the look of the Etsy camisole 💙🌈🍓🧶

[debbiescott]

Hi Cath, I love the idea of a colour blocked jersey dress - I can’t wait to see how you might use all your jersey fabrics 😍 Your woven fabric choices are really spring like … I think the etty camisole would look fab in either of the fabrics and I’d love to know how you get on with scalloped neckline.
