Good luck and have a speedy recovery xx❤

I hope hubby brings back some goodies from Mexico for you. Wishing you a speedy recovery. ❤️‍🩹

Hey Carole, did you receive my comment on one of the golden rule aka litterloh videos about a little mistake i might of spotted x

Sending prayers

Carole, I hope you have plenty that will keep your week interesting. You can't play your oboe, either! I played around with manipulating, with just my left hand, items on my mechanical sewing machine and it just doesn't work. Bernadette Banner posted last week this video on historical embroiderery that you will appreciate. ua-cam.com/video/GGJbP-NeJWc/v-deo.htmlsi=k9SnBeSIMvyx1sWj Blessings for speedy healing. -- Kelly .

Glad it all went well 👍 take it easy. Loved the poncho ❤ X

So sorry that I did not comment at your video announcing your surgery. You seem to be doing fine and in such good spirits and your brain is on overtime! Love that you shared your notebook, how interesting. I have that poncho pattern and of course you have inspired me to make it. The knickers must have been the talk of the hospital, so cute. You are so sweet I wish I could have a cup of tea with you. The pictures are beautiful. My son traveled to England in April and so enjoyed it and brought me back some Liberty of London fabric ❤. Can you not do handwork? This recovery time is great for planning and dreaming. Hope you are feeling good and get back to that machine in no time!

So good to see you and glad the surgery is over and you are not pushing it so you don't wind up setting yourself back - patience is a virtue, they say! Love the pretty print fabric for the "magic dress" and the knits look so soft and comfortable, too. Yes, the Red Arrow photos were a treat but I also love the countryside photos as well. The Blue Angels usually perform at an air show not far from me in Atlantic City, New Jersey, U.S.A., but they unfortunately suddenly canceled the show in August this year so I am doubly glad to have seen your air show photos. Hope you feel better every day!

I'm late with my very best wishes for a smooth recovery from your surgery! And you're allowed to complain to us now and then - most of us will understand due to similar issues !

So pleased to see you this week, I'm glad that your arm is getting better and better! Loved your poncho and fabrics, but I especially love your Needlework book from school! Sending lots of love xo

Lovely to see you Carole! I’m glad the surgery is behind you and I wish you a very speedy recovery! The poncho was genius!!! And it looks great! I’ve never heard of buttonhole scissors, that was really interesting to see! The countryside looks absolutely gorgeous!

You look well after your surgery Carole. I hope it’s relatively painless. The buttonhole scissors are fascinating. I do have a very old inherited pair and I wasn’t sure how to use them. I think mine are not ‘sharp’ so probably no longer useable. I’d be fascinated to see a video on them. Love the clothes you made - specially the poncho. It falls very nicely. The doll patterns are usually easier than you think and I’ve had good luck using the shiny plastic side of poppers as eyes for those sorts of things. Less creepy.Good luck with being ‘home alone’ and rapid healing. Trish S

Oh your poor arm. I understood your problem fitting something over it. When i broke my elbow I borrowed tshirts from my husband and son. But because of complications, I ended up wearing a cumbersome bulky brace for many months. Unfortunately it was during the winter in Canada. I ended up shopping at thrift stores for sweaters and tops with large roomy sleeves. I even had to find a winter coat. I also found out the world is very right hand oriented. How fun you have an actual record of the patterns you made! Whenever I find sewing patterns in thrift stores i I always search for any i might have sewn when i was young. And when I do, of course I buy it. My plan is to one day make some kind of collage with them to hang in my sewing room. Your granddaughter will love her birthday doll.

Great vlog as always, good to hear your surgery went well, don’t rush recovery, take care 😊

PS - enjoyed looking at your pattern file. It's like window shopping for sewers. SEW fun!

It's so hard to give up patterns but it's a good idea to clear out the ones you know you won't use. I purged about a 100 patterns last year.

Take care Carol.. I knew you'd find a way to do something sewing related.. good for you..

Hi Carol, thank you for a great video-even with a damaged arm. I love your poncho, just genius. And so Interesting to see your needlecraft schoolwork. Look after yourself as your arm heals x

Lovely to see you Carol your looking so well considering the operation. I’m definitely going to make a poncho I think that will be great for winter in my sewing room, not so restricting like a heavy jumper. 😊

Hi Carole. Nice to see you and wishing you a swift recovery. I do have a question for you, but it I’ll save that until you are able to type again. It is a shame that you’ve had to make a poncho to wear in July. Our summer weather is just rubbish this year so far. Nice poncho by the way.

One hour sew!🤣🤣🤣🤣 I've never made anything in the time someone else says it should take In regard to the viewer asking about sewing speed - a big factor I believe I've noticed is how precise a sewist is compared to others. I see some people just slapping those pattern pieces onto the fabric and whizzing away with their cutting. I, on the other hand, cannot bring myself to do that. I was taught to carefully line up the selvedges if folding fabric in half and if I decide to fold each selvedge to the center to cut pieces on the fold, I always precisely measure the width from selvedge to fold to make sure the folds are on grain. I also measure from each end of the grainline arrows to the selvedge on any piece not cut on the fold to make sure the pieces are laid on grain. Everyone should just sew in whatever way and at whatever speed they're comfortable with and enjoy THEIR process. Loved your creativity with the bedding ties! X

Hey carole i noticed you did something wrong you marked a bust measurement as a hip measurement hun x it was 15 everything on or above the waist ya use BM and everything below is HM ....15 was on the waist measurement not below x

They sell them on sewing gem uk, they buy in bulk for her Carole .... i've been speaking to her because i wanted some more rulers lol

Hi Carole hope you're doing well! Praying for a speedy recovery for your arm. I am with you through thick and thin. Thank You Carole for always showing beautiful pictures at the end. ❤ 👏

Hi Carole 😊, so nice to see you doing well 👏🏼👏🏼. You have great movement in your arm, just be careful not to over do it. You got beautiful fabrics from BTPD (love the blue 😊). I’ve never seen a buttonhole scissors 🤔🤔. You are right, last week’s photos of the planes were just AWESOME. Take care and don’t rush… 💕💕

Thank you for your video, I hope your arm heals quickly.

Wonderful to see you up and about and enjoying being in your sewing room. Wishing you a speedy recovery but take your time... no need to reply!

Carol, I hope you feel better real soon. Suza

I absolutely love the French style fabric. Re sew on buttonholes I recently watched a video by Alsabe Hurn in South Africa about using feed dogs to sew on buttons and work with very fine fabrics. It was brilliant. I'm so glad I've discovered her UA-cam channel, as well as yours. While you have non sewing time available you might like to take a look. I hope I've put the correct link. The other things, I bought a knee lifter for my sewing machine. They are great to use. Leaves your hands free. Thanks again. Maree ua-cam.com/video/iPn3sihcz7s/v-deo.htmlsi=6TN9r1cPbt-N-JVo

So lovely to see congratulations on doing some sewing love the poncho finding old patterns in op shops is fun take care of yourself best wishes for a speedy recovery 😊😊😊

Take care and don’t push yourself too much, you need to rest up x

Summer poncho….ingenious! I don’t like wearing outerwear that goes over the head, but I love the look of all your ponchos. Glad surgery went well. Take care and recuperate! ❤

I wish you all the best with your arm and a quick recovery! Always looking forward to your #fridaysews Videos! Greetings from Leipzig, Germany

Glad the op went OK. Don't try and do too much too soon. I only discovered the joy of sewing buttons on using my sewing machine a couple of months ago - revelation! My Brother came with the button foot included and I just thought I'd give it a go for a shirt I made. I also looked at some of those buttonhole scissors (made in Sheffield - my home town and famous for steel and cutlery), but in the end decided on a buttonhole cutter - like a small chisel. It works very well. Take care.

I’m in the Netherlands. We are having the same wintery weather as you! It makes it difficult to get enthusiastic about summer makes. Take care of your arm. Let it heal and skip us for a week if need be.

Lovely to see you looking so well. Great pics of Maiden Castle. Super spot. 😊

It's great to see you looking so well after your surgery. Sending prayers for a quick and full recovery. I always enjoy your photos of the countryside.

A few videos back you and Izzy did a collaboration on the fold you get on t shirts. I have never had that happen. I have to go the other route and make a small bust adjustment, and for the first time I recall the folds are there on my dress. I’m assuming the pattern requires a dart.

So glad that you checked in! I wish you a good recovery and relaxation.

Oh My Goodness, Carole, I have the same Lady McElroy fabric, also from BTPD, making its way across the pond to me! I just couldn't resist. I'm happy to see you are on the mend, but I hope you aren't over doing it. You got so much accomplished! It's funny you kept the sewing book for so long. I have done the same thing, but mine is from high school biology, when we had to dissect frogs. Haha. Take care and have a great weekend.

Does your machine have a knee lift? If so, it’s a game-changer! It lifts and lowers the presser foot for you! It’s like having a third hand! It takes some getting used to at first, but, eventually you will wonder how you ever sewed without one! Continuing to keep you on my prayers for a speedy recovery! 😘💗

I hope the poncho pattern is still in print. I’d love to make one. It looks so warm and cozy! Glad to see you’re recovering well ❤ About your photos at the end of your videos…please keep them coming! I look forward to seeing them and enjoy them very much, including your airplane footage! 😊 Take care!

So pleased to see you. Take care and take it easy🙏🍫🤗

Hi Carole. It’s great you’re doing so well. You’re a trooper! The pajamas are so pretty… I love how you did an appliqué to tie them together. I use my button sewing foot a lot. I think I may be lazy but, I love sewing the buttons on by machine😂 I had never seen the scissors for buttonholes before. It’s very interesting how they work. Your sewing book is awesome! Have a great weekend! ❤ Diann

Hi Carole, love the drape on that poncho. Wishing you a great weekend and full recovery. Hope the weather improves too!! Sending good vibes 🌻☀️

Glad to see you back so soon after your op. Loved your poncho and your tee shirt. Here’s hoping for a speedy return to full mobility. Pat 😛🌺

So fun to see you up and about and feeling well. I love your red top with the gathers. Thanks for showing the pretty fabric you found. My mother had probably every sewing tool on the planet. She had button hole scissors and a button hole cutter, which looks kind of like a chisel. So fun to see the retro patterns. I was able to cut out two tops for me this week. I just put the button holes in the first one and then all I have to do is the hem. Hoping to have them both finished by tomorrow. Have a wonderful week and try to take it easy with your arm.

Aaw lovely to see you Carole, and you look very well indeed. I love the emergency poncho. Genius 😊. Don’t forget the DX5 and the DX7 have a presser foot up/down button on the front 😁 not the solution to all your current difficulties, but every little helps. Take care and that’s for the video 😊xx

Hi Carole. I know what you mean about sewing for far away grandkids. It’s hard to guess at the size when patterns vary so greatly. I would suggest trying some audiobooks during your recovery. Great way to keep occupied when your hand is out of commission.

Hi Carole, been thinking about you and how you were after your OP. Enjoyed your vlog as always.
