    Ooh dinner, a show, a stay in a hotel and breakfast the next day, how wonderful. As you were in Tunbridge Wells did you get a chance to go to World of Sewing for a fabric rummage? I read the other day that there is a new fabric shop opening in Eastbourne, I can’t remember the name of it but I think it will be specialising in sustainable fabrics. I love everything you have made, thanks for sharing Cara. 💙🧶🌈🍓

    wow, love that co-ord. Go for it! Which of course you do! I am in France, looking forward to my Ressac kit coming from Andrea. I love Maison Fauve, the French Terry she is selling is gorgeous and so is the ribbing. A little pricey but so worth it for the quality. I am making the Granite sweater, a super easy pattern of hers, but I want to use some "difficult" knit fabric from my stash. Love your vlogs. 🥰

    What a lovely way to start my Saturday morning Cara! I'm actually off to Arizona later today for the Thanksgiving holiday with my family! Yay! I haven't seen my son since March and I'm not sure I'll let him out of my sight this whole next week, haha. This week I sewed another Toaster Sweater #1, a very fitted long sleeve t-shirt from Sinclair (sorry can't remember the name) and the long sleeve bishop sleeve version of the Galena Knit Dress from Styla. Have you heard of this dress? For the life of me I can't remember how I even found this pattern. But it is marvelous! I made it out of a Minerva exclusive blue with bright pink leopard spots! I know - another animal print! And I'm going to try and whip up another pair of Léonore Pants by Jalie, before heading to the airport (crazy I know). I'm hoping to get some decent pics of me in Arizona so I can post my makes. Hope you had a great time at the show and have a wonderful week. 🌴😎💛

    Unfortunately the Persephone trousers are not very size inclusive. Also, the measurements are only in imperial. That's always more complicated to get the size right. Having to convert everything is just no fun. I love your Ressac sweater. I am wondering if maybe it is slightly too big hence the too long sleeves in the first one. You seem to have a very pronounced pleat at the shoulders, maybe you have a bit too much fabric there. It's not a problem, its nice and oversized, just a thought.

    I’ve only seen Mason Fauv patterns featured on your channel. They are unique, and you sew them and wear them beautifully! You also have a talent to match fabric with the pattern, resulting in stylish and well fitted garments. Do you have to alter the patterns to fit?

    Love your co-ord Cara. You totally own it! I’ve made 2 pairs of derwents but find I’m not reaching for them. I have enough of the navy ponte I used for them left to make a Jalie Emilie sweater and possibly a cropped Sinclair harper cardigan, so I think I’ll do a co-ord. I’m sure I’ll get more wear out of them that way. Thank you for giving me ideas 😂Have a great weekend 💞💞

      @ It is isn’t it. I’ve made 2 Emilies and a sleeveless one in the past month and I have a cream cable effect one cut out and ready to go. I’m also hoping I have enough left from another project to make a 5th version. I love them with my flared jeans. Best free pattern I’ve found so far 😂💞

I truly enjoy vlogmas, however I don’t think you should feel pressured to do it every day, I’m sure it can be overwhelming. Live shows are so much fun, was it what you expected?

I have made a couple of Barrington tees for myself and some tees for my great nephew who was born on the 9th. They are size 6mo. so I’ll wait a while before making the matching joggers. Because vlogmas is a lot of effort, do what works best for you. A weekly video answering 5 questions and perhaps give a sewing tip, or suggestions for patterns, notions, or tools? Happy sewing, Cara.

    Gorgeous makes. The jacket is stunning. I have the Dandelion jacket pattern and have been itching to make it. Can I ask, does it have to be lined?

    • @sosewmad

      It’s an amazing pattern, yes it would need to be lined but don’t be scared it’s easy to do 😅 watch the sew along and you’ll see

    I love vlogmas, but I don't blame you at all for keeping your advent calendars to yourself. I love your tonal wardrobe, although I don't trust myself in cream, I can make a mess with anything, and taupes and beiges do not suit me. I do love your Dandeliuon jacket and will definitely head over to Maison Fauve to check out the fabrics and the new Ressac pattern; I really like the style lines on the sweatshirt. I used to have a hat very similar to yours when I was a teenager (a very long time ago), so cute. I am currently making a Constellation Hoody (Love Notions) and a Southbank Dress, love that pattern, this is my third. Next in line is the Charlie Sweater. So much to sew, so little time.

    I sometimes get the same "smiling" seams on my Singer overlocker. What I found was re-threading it and ensuring the thread is pulled through the tension discs seems to fix the issue. Simple I know but I hope it helps you x

      That’s great advice thank you, I’ll try that later x

    Love the term "enabling" garments! I just made two pairs of enabling black trousers. One in Ponte, quickly followed by stretch corduroy. I put a yoga waistband on both which makes them secret sweatpants. Used the Love Notions Duet pattern, I highly recommend it. Your monochromatic look with different textures looks so chic and cozy!

      Thank you, the yoga waistband is such a great idea! It’s lovely to hear from you I appreciate your support

    Lovely vlog Cara! So many of us wait each week to see all of your amazing makes and how they fit into your daily life. They are always so gorgeous, elegant, stylish (like you) but very wearable. I really like the "Question of the day" idea for Vlogmas. Maybe you could do those on Instagram and 1 video a week on You Tube, to cut down on the time requirements? I'm finally back in the sewing room, yay me! I've made the Éleanora Pants by Jalie (LOVE LOVE them), the Chess Club Trouser by Gertie (Charm Patterns), the Alana Dress by Sinclaire, the Dana Point Top by Itch to Stitch, and for my 'For A Gift To November' entry I made 6 reversible quilted placemats and a small table runner. Phew. As I am saving for our UK trip in the spring, I am forcing myself to 'shop' my fabric and pattern stash! Oh Cara, I have an excess of both (what a spoiled sewist I am!). But we always want the new shiny things we see, don't we? Can't wait to see your party dress! Have a wonderful week. p.s. loved seeing your time out in London.😊

      Wow Rita! That’s extraordinary! How absolutely wonderful to do as much sewing as that. Sounds as crazy as me 😅 I also need to only sew from my stash but can’t resist sometimes, it’s hard isn’t it? Thank you for your kind words you really are so lovely to me xx
