What sewing patterns have you made that give you confidence?

@lynnsutherland931 4 months ago

As someone who only wears dresses and skirts and tops i encourage you to embrace that beautiful dress and put no limitations on when to wear it. Almost every time i go to town for errands i receive a kind comment about the fabric or the style of what I'm wearing. I'm not even a flamboyant dresser. Go for it!

It is so nice seeing someone with a realistic body.

Wear that gorgeous blue dress everywhere! It's not too much! You look amazing in it! Just do it!! ❤❤❤🎉🎉

Honey!!! The Elenora dress is absolutely gorgeous on you! I have been eyeballing this lovely and feminine pattern for a good minute, but haven’t been confident about how it might look with my belly…I just sort of resigned myself to the idea that it may be better suited for a slimmer body type. You have opened a new way of thinking about this style of dress for me ❤

That pretty green dress is worth making a dinner date to wear it on.
I appreciate the realistic patterns. In most of these videos, they are still tucking their shirt in or wearing something tight.

Totally love the turquoise dress on you. Fabulous.

Wear the teal dress anywhere and everywhere! Wear it while sitting around at home. Wear it while on the school run. Wear it on a grocery run. Wear it just because you like it and you deserve nice things even on ordinary days. YOU are the occasion, my friend. 💙

Also subscribed because I love what you've made, I love your vibe, and I love seeing someone who has a similar body to mine making and wearing beautiful things

I have a much loathed Apron belly after two enormous babies and an early menopause. I am so grateful for this confidence inspiring video. Can't wait for part 2 You look fabulous in all these garments and I'm taking notes. 😍

You have given me the confidence and inspiration to get my machine out and stop watching and start sewing!

I can’t even tell which one is my favorite! The gingham top is so lovely and fresh! And that spectacular Silversaga dress- just wow! The color is smashing on you! That gorgeous fabric on the tank! That light jacket! Yikes! Love the square neck on you! Yikes, all fabulous!

Hi. What a great video, thank you.
I liked all of the clothes you've made.
I would love to see a part two please for trousers and skirts.
Thanks again ❤

After 7 children, no matter what size I was, I've had a tummy curtain. It's always been my biggest insecurity. At 63, I love finding clothes that I can sew. Eberythimg lokled lovely. Thanks!

You look fabulous in the turquoise dress! You glow in it.

I really needed this video. I have been trying to plan some flattering outfits for my plus sized large bust apron belly body. And I'm 62, still working as a professional. All plus size influencer outfit suggestions are for young party goers. Your examples are spot on.

Hayley, you can so wear that teal dress on the school run. 🧶🌈💙🍓

Thank you for this video. It's so refreshing to see someone with a curvy shape review patterns. The fit you've achieved on these pieces at the shoulders and upper bust is perfection. It's such a challenge to eliminate drag lines there while getting enough ease below. There are a couple patterns I wouldn't have thought to wear but this video changed my mind.

@elizabethgardner6832 4 months ago

This is the kind of video I like. I did watch every once in a while before, but never got into subscription boxes. It's more fun to pick out patterns and fabric myself. I'm interesting in finding patterns that i can fit to my body.

Thank you for being you ... a real human no filters and fakery...who looks fabulous and (what's more important) can talk intelligently on a subject and share their acquired skills and knowledge. Hooray for content where 30+ women don't feel the need to shy away from who we really and can look and feel GREAT! What pattern gives me confidence? Sinclair patterns: Betty faux wrap dress
