Hello! I'd love to know what you would do with these fabrics?!! Thank you for watching! Consider purchasing a kofi https://www.ko-fi.com/penguinandpear 💖💖💖💖

Hi Claire, you are looking well.  2 years ago, I stopped working because I had medical issues.  I will not be returning to work.  Therefore, my days consist of mostly staying at home, quilting, etc.  I am not a garment sewer.  I bring this up because the clothes I used to wear, when I was a working professional now sit in my closet.  I have no use for skirts, blazers or dresses.  This is something you need to ask yourself.  If you don't go out much, would you really wear dresses, skirts and blazers ?  Some of your fabric could be used to spruce up your new apartment.  For example, throw pillows, curtains, pillow cases.  Just a thought.  Cheers from Canada.

Oh, sweet Claire!  What a gorgeous stash!  I loved every single piece.   Lots and lots of great pairing options.  Once you get the dress fitting the way you want, you can always change the neckline, sleeves, and length to get different looks.  I made ten completely different looking tops from one pattern by hacking the living daylights out of it.  If you don't think certain colors are flattering on you, then use that fabric for a skirt or trousers.  Put some distance between your beautiful face and the fabric.  I have been looking forward to this video . . . and you did NOT disappoint.  You never disappoint.  It was so fun!  Thanks for sharing your treasure of a stash with us.  Btw, you know what else is gorgeous?  Your skin!  My gosh . . . it is flawless.  Looking beautiful, love.  Bye for now.

You have got such wonderful beautiful fabrics and I know you will let your imagination soar. I’m like others maybe go try on a few things to see what suits you. Also I’m retired and a senior citizen so I like easy to put on and off things and comfortable. However I go to church and I go out with family and I go for appointments so I want to look nice also. I’m still a woman and I still want to have a nice hairdo & a bit of makeup & nice comfortable stylish clothes & accessories. You sure have a nice start of fabric to get started on some nice things. Also look and see maybe if you can coordinate things to stretch your wardrobe. Oh and just have a great and relaxing time sewing.

Pale pink Irish linen would be a beautiful dress. The peacock pattern would make a fun shopping tote.  Ditto for the magazine covers. The brown twill as maybe a swing style coat?  Hawaii print as a summer dress. Lavender linen with flowers as a blazer. So much fabric, so many fun possibilities!

Hi Claire,  lovely to see you smiling and back in your sewing grove, I can't wait to see what you make. ❤

Claire!  Congratulations on getting back to us with fabulous makes and instructions. 👏🏻👍🏻🥳

Window shop on line or the high street. It will give you great ideas. Figure out what you need and then start sewing. If you need tops,no point wasting time and fabric making dresses

I was watching you when you started sewing channel.  You can do it  makes again.

First fabric, a shirt dress style? The black fabric maybe a kimono style robe?

ABSOLUTELY LOVE your hair like that!!❤❤

Hi, Claire. You are looking great! Nice to see you and your intro of the fabrics. 👏👏👏

Great vlog. The pattern emporium over size shirt is fabulous

The first fabric you showed, the lovely embroidery--I've been looking for something like this to make a dressy shirt. Years (and pounds) ago, I made one and just loved it.

That pretty lavender with embroidery on it, my first thought was something like a blazer or light jacket to wear with a pretty skirt or pants. soo pretty!

The Grey and pink wool looks beautiful with your skin tone.❤

Love the peacock fabric. Make your self a dress. Love the yellow flower too . Dress. 😊

My favourite is the feather, torquoise fabric.

The pink linen in the oversized shirt would be fab!  Perhaps a bomber style coat with the pink and grey houndstooth??

Hi Claire, I made the Pattern Emporium Bestie Tee with my jersey that hardly had any stretch. There are so many options to make. It’s well worth the money and effort of printing and sticking it together. The instructions give you a list of pages to print for each option too, so you don’t need to print the whole pattern. 💞
