My Five Essentials

I love this hashtag, really interesting to hear what your essentials are

good list

so great..🔔

So good to see you are back. Love this video.

Loved this video! Thanks for joining in, Alex. Fantastic picks and all great essentials. That McCall's dress that you picked for your Essential One Piece is beautiful. I'm rarely tempted by the Big 4, but this one looks so good!

Your sew-along for M6696 led me to you. It's a very satisfying make!

Love Notions Rhapsody

Thank you so much 💖

My Toaster sweaters. 1 & 2. I made 3 in a week and love them ..I need more

I have made multiple M6696 dresses too. Love that pattern.

Self drafted woven boxy tee ❤

Simplicity 9146. Elastic waist pant with flat front. It has an extra side piece which is fun for stripes. I have taped the pieces together and omitted that design.

Pattern Emporium Besties Tee. It comes with lots of neckline, sleeve, and length options and it's also really easy to hack if you're into a little self-drafting. It's more expensive than a big 4 on sale but it's so versatile it's well worth the cost imo. I love your picks, this is such a great hashtag to follow.

Wow you certainly are busy!! Thanks for sharing your most used patterns 🥰I will have to take a closer look at True bias patterns I have never bought anything from them. I tend to gravitate to itch to stitch as they’re more accommodating for petite people 😅. Funny having said that my most made up patterns are the Sicily dress by Mason, a New Look cargo pant pattern I’ve made up in 3 different lengths, Sinclair elastic pull on shorts and a free raglan sleeve tshirt and cardigan from Sew sew easy site! ❤would have loved to see some pictures of your makes 😉

Thanks.. really good suggestions ⭐

The Simplicity 9273 top is also one of my essentials! I have made two tops that I wear all the time and plan to make more. I like view A with the plain sleeves.

The seaforth pants by Hey June Handmade. I have made them 4 times. So comfortable! Good thoughts though. It's nice to make something you know is going to fit than stress over working out a new pattern.

All your essentials are fabulous! My favorite it that M7967 knit with the sweetheart neckline. I've never seen that one. I need to get it!!! So many greats and it's hard to choose! Great video. Thanks for sharing!

I love the look of the Dani shorts! Wonder if you can lengthen into walking shorts?

Good luck on your coding. I just retired last year from a career in software. I found that it is a creative occupation, but it was good to balance with a creative, artistic hobby.

Great selections! Thank you for sharing!

I appreciate you giving options with each essential. ❤ and congrats on coding! I’m a Software Engineering Instructor so I know it’s a fun challenge.
