3 Things I'm thinking about while watching this video: 1. I have to have this blouse. 2. Your voice is absolutely one of the most comforting things in the world. I have so enjoyed watching and listening to your youtube videos for months now, and even listen while at work. Anxiety is almost zero, so thanks. When you publish your novels, will you please do the audio book as well? 3. The lining comments were making me giggle because I was thinking of the Fresh Prince of Bel Aire when he wears his sport coat inside out because the lining was way cooler than the outside. HAHAHAH
link for this fabric if still available?
love! LOVE!!!
I'd love to see a draping video! I've been wanting to learn for the longest time and of course when I was about to take a class COVID told me otherwise so... I'll be waiting for it!
Hi, Happy New Year. I hope that the snow isn't to bad. It's coming down on us here and I do not approve. I can't wait until world travel is safer again and we (husband and I) can migrate with the sun and spend the winter somewhere nice and warm. I'm glad to hear that you planned to take some time off to get a ship load of things done. I hope you were successful in that endeavor. I can't wait to see what magical things you will come up with for the year ahead and thank you for creating this wonderful place to learn (or not, if one is so inclined). I remember a while back that you would like to find some place like Spoonflower that had rayon as one of the fabric choices. I think I might have found something like that. I'm not sure as I haven't figured out how the place works. I hope that viscose would work for you as it's seems to be an European site. I'll let you know if I can figure out how to work the website. Yours, Ann
Thank you Ann! Luckily not too much snow here, a cold few days but it has backed off again thankfully. Any type of rayon/viscose suits me fine, so I'd love to look into any new sources!
Happy New Year to you too. Looking forward to seeing all your lovely projects in the coming year whatever they turn out to be. I'm sure I'm not the only one who loves your style of delivery, especially the voice over, almost more than whatever it is you're showing us!
Thank you Peta! ❤
Happy New Year Bianca! That top, like everything you sew, is gorgeous! I've learnt so much from you ever since I started watching your videos, and I'm very excited to finally become a patron!
Thank you so much for your support Emily! ❤ Happy New Year!!
Happy, happy New Year, Bianca! So elated I got to greet 2022 by finally becoming a Patron after having enjoyed your videos for so long. Thrilled to catch up on all the content you've released here!
Thank you so much for your support Coco! ❤ Happy New Year!
Oh, this top is delicious. Gorgeous outcome and the silk....oh, the silk...
Thank you Lisa! 💜
Fabulous! I need to make some of these wrap tops!
Thank you Wendy! I have several of the short sleeved version now, they are pretty quick to put together luckily!
I’d love a stash tour. The brooch in your intro is perfection! Heouge vintage perfection! Definitely going to use this wrap top drafting for a wrap top house dress. This turned out gorgeous!
Thank you Barbie! I had to wear my biggest brooch to make up for not getting dressed up for any holiday festivities this year 😂✨
Happy New Year! Enjoy your break. I loved the video.
Thank you Charlene! Happy New Year!
“I don’t want to be comfortable, I want to be glittery!” Same😜
My eyes and I really don't agree on the amount of sparkle allowed!!
I would love to see a tour of your fabric stash along with where you bought it and maybe what it could be used for. Also, I'm always looking for places to buy lovely fabric there are no places near me to find fabric other than Joann's. I find fabric, but then once I get it I'm stumped on what I want to use It for.
Thank you Stephanie! To be fair the answer is Mood fabrics .com 80% of the time 😅
Yes please to a stash tour! I’m imagining some amazing dark florals! I’d love to see it. You inspired me to learn to sew and at this stage in my learning, I get a lot out of seeing which fabrics people choose.
Thank you Lacy! Always love a dark floral 😅🖤
I would love to see a tour of your fabric stash! I am very much a fabric dragon hoarding treasures, and I would love to see your collection and hear about your plans.
Thanks Tina! I think I will try to add it onto my calendar for this next month!
Mwah this is a stunning blouse... and with those sleeves....double mwah...yes to all the things that you need to do... and want to do...especially the sleeping and writing...rest well my friend and we will hear from you when you are feeling more yourself....HAPPY HOLIDAYS 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
Thank you Raelene! Happy New Year! 🖤
Is that a sea horse brooch and a brain-in-skull pin cushion I see? I agree with the comments from everyone, especially how gracious you are and what a treat it would be to have a little glimpse of your writing. As a musician, I can relate to being nervous about sharing something before it is ready, but maybe it would be a balm to your spirit to hear what others think. I think I might be one of the most unlikely people to have found your channel this year, but thank goodness I did. Thank you for inspiring and keeping me company this year. Happy New Year to all!
Thank you Penny! The brooch is merely a scrolling shape, but the lovely pin cushion was a gift I received recently 💚 Happy New Year!!
That lining is pretty! So tempting to have that be seen somewhere. We have just moved from Japan to the UK and I don’t have any of my sewing stuff yet. It’s driving me crazy! Glad to have your vids to watch in the meantime. Best wishes for 2022!!
Thank you Marie! I hope your sewing things get there soon!! Happy new home base and New Year ✨
I would absolutely desperately love to read some of your writing, please. I adore your way with words and the perspective you bring to all things and I'd be thrilled to bits to see what you do with free reign into crafting longform fiction. But I know the fear of sharing so I mean this not as pressure but just encouragement spurned by genuine interest.
Thank you Kendall! I shall see if I can scrounge up the courage this year 😂
Beautiful blouse…I would absolutely use that lining fabric for a reversible version…that is if I knew how to construct such a garment …I would love to read a chapter of your book, you are so articulate and I’m sure it would be a fantastic read! Happy and healthy New Year to you and your family!
I was thinking about a reversible version too! It almost is already, minus the sleeves.
Gorgeous as always. Couldn't agree with your mom more...the lining fabric shimmers like one of your beetles. Wonderful styling and set design at the grand reveal. (I always pause your vids here to relish the details.) Happy New Year Bianca.
Thank you Victoria! 💜 I have to figure out the best setting for my new camera over on set as well, but I had fun pulling out my big fake presents for a holiday moment 😂
Love the fabric and the top. Can't wait for the next video. Seeing your fabric stash would be fun! Dress up for New Year's even if you are staying home! The spider shoes and clutch are a great match to the outfit. Have a happy New Year. And happy New Year to all of your patrons as well.
Thank you Bobbie! Happy New Year!
Yes please for the Stash Tour.....it's always reassuring seeing other peoples stashes 🤣
It makes us feel less alone I suppose ha! 😂❤
So gracious! I donate to other Patreon's and none are so gracious. You are just so talented and have such an intriguing personality I truly sit by and wait for your next video. Keep 'em coming Bea! And Happy New Year to you!
Thank you Merna ❤ Happy New Year!
I would love to see your fabric stash …. yes please xx
That eyeshadow! And Those fabrics! WHy can't we have Mood in the UK? =_= A stash show and tell would be fun - It'd give us stuff to look forward to! Have a lovely new year's eve and have some well deserved rest!
Thank you! The UK has other treasures I covet as well, 'tis a balance lol 😂 The UK has more millinery suppliers so I am jealous of those!
I also would love to see you go through your fabric and talk about it. And I doe agree with your mother about making something out of the liningfabric. Rest wel. And I look forward to follow your sowing next year.
Thank you Anna-Lise!
We would love to watch you clean your spaces! It’s better than cleaning my own sewing room… what a treat to have a video to watch in my night owl phase! The neighbors dog is barking madly and my mouth hurts (root canal yesterday, damn you old teeth!) and so I’m not sleeping… The top is lovely (so is the eye shadow) and I’m looking forward to a beaded spider or three.
Thank you Susan! I will totally record my next beaded spider for sure, I want a black and white one next I think 🖤 I hope your mouth is feeling better, darn dental work!
