 All right guys, welcome back to another monthly favorites video. This is our September favorites where we talk about what we have been loving in September and honestly, even though we both have been sewing up a storm, neither of us have really tried a lot of new things or really been like over the moon about something this month, which I guess just kind of naturally happens. So we both really struggled to come up with favorites for this month to be honest. So we decided that we would just do one each and talk about the one thing that we've loved and that way it would still be true to the video in terms of it being absolute favorite, you know, without us just kind of like forcing it and trying to make up something. So I guess you could look at it as an unfortunate thing that we only have one favorite, but I hope that you'll appreciate the fact that we didn't just like phone it in. Yeah. So all right, what is your favorite? Your favorite. I talked about this before in some other videos, I believe. I have an obsession with French Terry. I love French Terry. I think I love it so much because I love to feel comfy cozy and I don't know if it's because we live in Charleston and it's so hot, so long that when it finally does cool down, I'm like, I get to wear my cozy comfy clothes. I think it reminds you of home. Maybe you might be home where it's cold most of the time. And then I love the things I do in my comfy cozy clothes. I love taking Piper for a walk or just like going and sitting outside a coffee shop and relaxing. I don't know. I just a pretty chill kind of person. So I love the things I do in my comfy clothes, but I have a new French Terry that I'm really loving. It was just released in Style Maker fabrics fall collection. So I got to sew it up as part of the blog tour. I love dots. So dots paired with French Terry. Oh, I also love great French Terry. It's just was perfection for me. So I sewed up the paper cut patterns hoodie. You will see it coming up. I'll be doing a full blog review on my hoodie and the outfit that I made for it. But when I decided on this fabric and was telling Michelle how much I wanted, I convinced her to go ahead and sell me three extra yards of it before it was released. Before it was even on the website. So I have three more yards of this fabric. I know that sounds crazy. It's a little crazy, but I there's just some other things I want to make with it. Here's my reasoning. This I can't wear this to work. Right. It's a hoodie. So I need to make a top that I can wear to work. So I was thinking a bowline top would be really cute. I made that for the last Style Maker spring tour. I really like that pattern. It's like a sweatshirt, but a little more jazzed up. So it's super cute. If I don't make that, Lindsay says I'm only allowed to make one more top, by the way. I have some French terry that I also convinced her to go ahead and sell me because it's a perfect match for the dots. It's like just perfect. I have a pattern that the seams wrap around to the front. It's like a twisted seam front. I will put that in the box below, but I saw a top on Pinterest and they did stripes on the front and dots on the back. And it was a similar kind of seaming where the fabric from the back is drawn to the front so you can see it. So I was kind of thinking about that too. So I'm not really sure if I don't use this for that, then I'll just make some sweatpants or something with it. So I like the second shirt idea better than the bowline. The better than the bowline. I don't know why, but they're so perfect together. Well, yeah, I feel like, yeah, they should be made. Yeah, you're right. That's what it is. They should be made together. And then this just makes perfect sweatpants, I think. Yeah, it would also be really cute out of the butter dress that I mentioned in our favorite fall patterns video. Yeah, I was torn when she helped me decide on this hoodie. As she helps me on most things, I was torn between a sweater dress and a hoodie. Yeah, with the hoodie. So a sweater dress would be awesome. Yeah, I basically designed and styled for her entire outfit came out super cute. I really love the athleisure wear look and the paper cut patterns, they do a really great job of styling their models. So I kind of copied their whole look. Right down to the sneakers. She's like, boy, those sneakers are cute. I'm like, oh, those are the athitas sneakers. Yeah, you totally help. They're very, very popular, like lots of super wear them. She's super trendy. So she always knows what's going on. So she told me exactly what they are within seconds. They're the athitas superstar shoes. I went with white just like the models wearing and well, Lindsay also helped me decide on white because I can make no decisions on my own. She said to be a little more classic. Yes. So I think this could be worn with a lot more. I was actually picturing it with like a shirt dress. Absolutely. Yeah, 100%. Yes. Yeah. I think I could really go with a lot. So I mean, yes, they are a sneaker and they're a tie up sneaker, but they're leather. So I don't know. I feel like, yeah, you can wear those with lots and lots of different things that you would normally say are too dressy sneakers. I think nowadays those lines are a little bit blurred. And that's really what athleisure is all about. It's taking these silhouettes of things that you would normally associate with like dressy, like dresses and making them out of comfy, cozy fabrics and pairing them with sneakers. And there you have this whole athleisure trend, which is so fun. And I think it's really cute and it really helps identify like a personal style. I think if you can pull off athleisure, you're a cool chick. You know what I mean? So well, I hope I can pull it off because I got the whole outfit in my post. It's really, really cute. Yeah. So awesome. That's what I am loving. Well, the thing that I have been really using the most this month. And honestly, I really enjoy using is grommets and eyelets. So here's a grommet kit I have. These are really large grommets, but I've also got them on my dress here in the smaller grommets. They really have just, you know, popped up on and ready to wear. I feel like pretty recently, and now you're seeing them in all kinds of stuff. You're seeing them in lace up things. Abby used them for the drawstring holes. So instead of doing a buttonhole there for your drawstring or on your waist or in a hoodie, you can use them there. I hate sewing buttonholes. So this to me is way, yeah, way, way, way easier. I pattern tested a jacket that will be released here shortly. And it uses waist grommets for the drawstring and the waist there. And I don't know if it's just like banging on stuff that makes me really like it, but I just think it creates such a nice finished, polished look. These that I have, these and these all came from Joann's. They don't have a ton of finishes there, mostly gold and silver. I have tried to source some online, but really all you can find are huge quantities. I don't need a hundred grommets. I like them, but I don't like them that much. So I'm still trying to find where you can get better finishes in smaller quantities. So when I, when I figure that out, I'll update you guys and update the description box. But yeah, I just am having so much fun adding grommets to different things. Another idea I had that I talked about, I think it was in one of our plan videos, maybe July plans, is a white shift dress with really big grommets. Gold ones just like, this is why I got these particular grommets, like four or six really big grommets. And you don't lace anything through it. You just have the holes in the placket. That's, that's a great, that's a cute idea that I have, but you can also put them like on hems, you imagine like a bunch of teeny tiny little like almost like an eyelet. I don't know, there's just like so many fun things that you can do with grommets to add details to your garments. And I think it really makes it take more like red twer, takes like your homemade handmade and it takes it more to that ready to wear level. Yeah. Yeah. I asked if I made this, which is really not something we ask each other very often because I think we just assume that we made it, but every once in a while something is, looks so ready to wear that you're like, did you make that? Yeah, yeah, it came out really good. It's a good compliment. Anyway, so those are our September favorites, one favorite from each of us. So hopefully with the whole like, you know, change of the seasons and change over and patterns and attitude and fabric and everything, we'll have a lot more favorites for you guys in October coming up. Yeah, exactly. So thanks so much for watching. Give this video a thumbs up if you enjoyed it. Subscribe to us so you don't miss a video and follow us on social media.
