All of your makes are great! The Emmy tee looks fantastic on you, and I also really like the sweatshirts set. The cross over one looks really good on you; I think it suits you. Your matching dresses are adorable!

Hi from USA 😊 liked the vlog. Ur mustard colored dress at the start looks lovely. It's a great color on U! (nver me😊). I am intimidated by making my own binding ( still). It does make all yhe difference. Thx 4 posting. Be blessed.

The sweatshirt looks good 🙂 You never have enough lounge wear. All my makes that go awry end up being lounge wear 😄 have a lovely weekend and God bless, Dora

Hi, Cath! I have a question about the waist elastic in the last dress you showed. Do you stitch the channel down to the bodice, or leave it free? I would like to make a similar dress, but wasn't sure if the channel would lie nicely if not stitched down.

Love that you let your daughter choose to wear matching outfits, very good of you! Really like the galaxy print. Yes, lounge wear is often overlooked by sewers and it is highly useful and fun to sew. Love my Pfaff for sewing most everything except bags. Got a heavy duty machine for that now.

Love your sweaters. I always wondered about the v neck one. It looks great on you. For me I wondered when I would wear a hood but have my neck uncovered unless I was wearing in the winter over my pyjamas, my favourite hood is on the Stella hoodie as I like the shape. I like the details of the pattern and am tempted by the sweatshirt. Going to carry on watching now.

Love your makes…that lounge set is just fabulous and your matching dresses are beautiful. Enjoy the years when your kids want you to sew for them; it doesn’t always last. I’ve been lucky; my children are grown but they still want me to make things for them. My son loves the pyjama pants that I make for him (the only pjs he’ll weaar) and my daughter is always keen to have me sew for her. Very satisfying!

I'm a new subscriber. Your makes videos really inspire me! I made an Emmie Tee of my own after seeing your first one.
