  1. You are so clever I’m sure your coat will be beautiful can’t wait to see it.I can’t believe it’s been a year since I copied your pumpkin tutorial and made some for my daughters florist shop window.x

  2. The pumpkins are so cute! I am a blue lover as well, and the viscose turned out nice! I laughed at you sacrificing your current sheets for a toile, the things we do because we MUST! XD

  3. I love the colour of your fabric for your actual trench! Though I think you should buy another blue sheet from Primark and make a blue one also 😃.
    I'm going to look at your Pumpkin tutorial, as I have 4 pumpkins and need to make another one to make it an odd number.
    I'm out with work for a nice dinner tomorrow and I have a maxi Ogden cami slip dress to wear. But I should have made a dress that's seasonally appropriate, think I might be a bit cold 😒 .
    Looking forward to seeing your Lyra completed xx

  4. Hi, nice to have a mid week video. I think your coat is going to look fabulous in that fabric; no wonder you are eager to get it finished. Talking of apps, I've started using an app called 'Goodreads', I'm using it to record my reading activity, setting reading goals and finding books to read. I'm really enjoying it. Happy Sewing 🙂
