A new Vlog
« on: July 01, 2020, 23:37:01 PM »
I stumbled across this site at the weekend when I was looking for something to sew by. There seems to be a dearth of good programmes to listen to on R4, R4 Extra and podcasts at the moment.  She has loads of experience, lives in Ireland, so is lovely to listen to, and has a wealth of knowledge. More importantly I can't be tempted by some of the shops she mentions for fabrics.
I particularly like how she describes in detail amendments she's made to make the garment fit and I can learn about the Irish sewing community. Some of her vlogs are with a fabric shop owner pal.

Thank you for this. :) I watch quite a few vlogs in the evenings when DH has his head deep in mindless TV programmes. :S This one looks to be a good addition to my collection. I'll be trying it out later tonight.

I watched a bit and really liked her chalk and notch dress, but so far I've resisted buying the pattern (although my resistance is rapidly weakening  :S)
