Those trousers look lovely Cath, thanks for sharing. 💙🧶🌈🍓
Thanks so much Jenny 😊👖💙
Great video. I have similar issues with trouser fitting but these ones turned out so well for you I may try sewing up a pair for myself. I haven't attempted trousers before so wish me luck.
Thank you very much! I’d recommend these trousers as a good place to start for more fitted trousers. Hope you get on well if you do give them a go 😊
Really enjoyed your video. Those trousers are gorgeous on you. I really fancy a pair. Thank you ❤
Thanks so much Angela 😊❤️ I really enjoyed sewing the trousers, more so than I expected, and the elastic waist makes them very comfy! I’d definitely recommend the pattern.
I have the Eleonore kit from Guthrie and Ghani
I hope you enjoy sewing it. The velvet fabric in the kit looks gorgeous.
Those pants look great. I must check them out. Thanks😊
Thank you very much! I really enjoyed the Eleonore pattern, I’d definitely recommend it.
I really enjoyed seeing all that you sewed up this week.The pants turned out amazing, such a great fit! The customization is what I love about sewing! When sewing with knits what do you use to stabilize the hems? They are so neat!
Thank you very much! Oh yes it’s so nice to be able to get a much better fit when you can sew clothes yourself isn’t it! When sewing with knits I don’t tend to stabilise. I generally use a wide zig zag or a twin needle, along with my walking foot, then I give the hem a good press after 😊
There is a video for these pants from Jalie. I have made more than 20 pairs.
Ah that’s good to know there is a Jalie video for them, thanks! It’s a great pattern isn’t it!
Your trousers are stunning.The colour is so beautiful and the fit is perfect.Your in depth explanation of the adjustments is so interesting and helpful. I love that you involve your daughter in choosing patterns and fabric.A fab vlog that I really enjoyed.
Thank you very much, I’m so glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks I really enjoyed the whole process of sewing and fitting the trousers more than i expected too. I’m glad I have them a try!
Hi Cath, what a lot of lovely things you’ve made😊. I love the Stella Hoodie. I have made a couple of the extended length hoodies and find them very useful with jeans and trousers being that much longer. I love the Stretch book too and have had a great deal of use from it. I love the Eleanor’s trousers on you, they’re absolutely gorgeous. I’ve never made any of their patterns, so I’ll definitely give them a look. Here on the south coast it’s also very cold and exceedingly windy. The spray and spume is remarkable and it was good to get back to a nice hot cup of tea after a very shortened dog walk !! Have a good week whatever you’re up to and look forward to seeing your next vlog. Take care 😊xx
Hi Shell, thanks so much. The Stretch book has some lovely patterns in it doesn’t it, I think I’ll be reaching for my Stella hoodie dress a lot! I really enjoyed sewing the Eleonore trousers, it definitely makes me keen to have a look at other Jalie patterns. A nice hot cup of tea after a stormy dog walk sounds perfect! We have high winds and lots of rain here today too. Hopefully it’ll blow over soon! Hope you have a good week too 😊 xx
Hi Cath, love your sweater dress and the trousers. Storm Bert is making it presents known, with very winds along the south coast 🌀🌪 Hope you have a good weekend/week 🥰
Hi Nicky, thanks so much. It’s definitely stormy isn’t it, we’ve had high winds here today too and now the rain has started. Hope you have a good weekend and week too 😊❤️
The trousers turned out awesome! Love the colour and the fit. The fabrics for your daughter are very pretty. I am sure she will like her replacement pants.
Thank you so much! I’m really happy with how the trousers turned out!
Great makes and fabrics. Especially your trousers. Thank you Cath.
Thank you very much Mary 😊
Super video Cath on this wet, cold snd very miserable morning. The sweater dress looks great. Love the hood lining. The trousers are so nice and a fabulous fit. I’m going to get some of that needlecord now that you think it’s a good fabric. Love all your makes.
Thank you very much 😊 I hope you like the needlecord too!
Great strokeable jeans
I love the Stella and have made a few hoodies and a couple of dresses without the hood and with a normal neck band. It’s a very useful pattern.
It is a really nice pattern isn’t it!
Really nice pants! 😄
Thank you very much! 😊
I was thinking , that blouse with the big collar, you could crochet or knit a smaller collar for it.
That’s a lovely idea thank you!
I have used Jalie patterns and at least the ones I have I was able to get the instructions from the website to download separately, much easier!
Oh brilliant thank you, that’s really good to know! That sounds very helpful!
Love your Bestie bag. I have a pair of Jalie Eleonore trousers cut out. I haven't started sewing them up yet and didn't know about Lauren's hints and tips video, so I will purchase that, thanks for the tip
Thank you very much. I hope you enjoy sewing your Eleonore trousers. I’ve started mine and I am finding Lauren’s video really helpful!
Your Bestie bag looks very nice! Thinking about making a new bag and that pattern seems like a winner. I have make the Jalie jeans a couple times. they are very simple and quick to make. They are low waisted so if you prefer a higher waist you can adjust.
Thank you very much, I’m really happy with how my Bestie bag turned out 😊 it is a really fun pattern to sew, I hope you enjoy it if you try it. Thanks that’s really good to know about the Jalie Eleonore 👍👌
Hi Cath, I’ve just bought the Kira Knit Top by Stylearc and plan to make it in a stretch velvet and wear it over a cami top. Maybe pick a colour in your cami that you like and make something similar in that colour. Good luck!
I just looked up the Kira knit top as I wasn’t familiar with it. Great idea for something to wear over my cami. I hope you enjoy sewing yours - it will look so lovely in a stretch velvet!
@ Hope so !🤞
Could you cut the top off the check dress to make a skirt?
Ooh that’s a good idea! Thanks I’ll have a think on that!
🧶🌈🍓💙
😊🩷❤️
Hi Cath, another great video! Maybe the pink cami under something (a cardigan?) vs over something? That way, it's really an accent color that's not the star of the show (if it makes you feel washed out colorwise). It's very pretty.
Thank you very much! Thanks that’s a good plan for the cami, I’ll try that!
Maybe remove the collar off the bakerloo shirt? It’s really a beautiful fabric! 🤩
Thank you! That’s a good plan, I’d love to save the fabric!
I did that same thing with my Ogden, and it works perfect to brighten up a winters day
Fab that’s really good to know thank you! 😊
Hi Cath, I have made these trousers twice, the fit is great.
Brilliant that’s really good to know thanks!
Another Canadian in bed with hot coffee. Your video was the perfect start to my Saturday. Glad you're refashioning your lovely blouse.😊
@@karenlowes7802 so glad to have company in my guilty pleasure
I’m so glad 😊 thank you yes I’m looking forward to altering the blouse!
I've just bought some Cosy Colours but wasn't sure what to make with it. I am thinking a cardigan as I didn't think it had enough stretch widthways for a Southbank. I made a different sweater a while ago with some fleecy fabric with very little stretch and I can hardly get it over my head!
I find the neckline of the Southbank is fairly wide so I don’t need too much stretch to get it on and off, so the cosy colours has worked fine for my sweaters. It would be lovely fabric for a cosy cardigan too!
@@madebycathcraft Yes, it's certainly got a bit more stretch than the fleece-backed sweatshirt fabric I used before - it hurts my ears pulling it on! I may make the Southbank with the cosy colours, and do the cardigan in something else.
You became a great seamstress. ❤ from Antwerp.
Thank you so much ❤️
I love the needle cord. Great colour. I would like to make a skirt or pinafore using that fabric so look forward to hearing what you think of it. Super video as always
Thank you very much. The needlecord is lovely quality, has such a nice velvety feel to it and a lovely stretch. I’ll report back on how it sews up 😊
Great vlog again cath……I love making trousers..once you get the right fit with the right pattern you’ll be on a winner….have just started making trousers for the hubby..don’t stress and enjoy ❤😊
Thank you very much. You’re right, it should be fun definitely. I’m looking forward to trying a new pattern and also my first Jalie pattern too! 😊❤️
Enjoying your video whilst making pies for our church Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow. Always enjoy your videos
Thank you very much! I hope your Thanksgiving dinner goes well 😊
Another enjoyable video, thanks Cath!
My pleasure! So glad you enjoyed it 😊
Styling your Ogden Cami for winter is a great idea. Sally of Secret Life of a Seamstress uses hers like that all the time. So you can see quite a few examples of how she styles it if you check out her videos. But otherwise, just overdye it with a colour you like better.
I hadn’t even thought about dyeing it! Thank you 😊
With your pink camio,why not try it as you suggest first.Then if you don't like it or it wears use the beautiful fabric to make something for your daughter. With your navy check before you donate it why not take out the sleeves to give more freedom.You could even lengthen the armhole for more room.If that doesn't suit because of the waistline why not unpick the waist.Then either make an elasticated waist or if you need more length buy some fab glitter elastic to use as a waist band.Hem the top and you have a two piece to wear.
I hadn’t considered taking the sleeves off the check dress and making the waist elasticated. Thanks so much for the ideas! Thanks yes I’d love to still be able to enjoy the pink cami fabric! 😊
Such a pleasure to watch your video with a coffee in bed. Having a lazy lie in on a cold Grey Saturday. You are featuring 2 🇨🇦 Canadian companies today 😃. This is the first Bestie Bag I've seen with the foam interfacing used to show off the banana shape and I really like how it showcases the simple, functional design. It turned out fantastic. I haven't made the Jalie Eleanore pants but I have made their jeans and while the directions appear mixed in with pattern pieces to save paper, they are not difficult to follow. If you trace the pattern, you'll get great value making pants for your daughter as she grows and yourself. The pocket hack for your hubby's sleep shorts looks excellent. I must remember that for the next ones I make for my adult crew. I make Christmas pj's about every third year. Glad you decided to try a refashion of the blouse. You love the fabric so much, it will be worth the effort. You can try wearing the camp over a close fitting Tee or under a pretty cardigan where it peeks out at the front would be lovely too. I am headed to my local fabric shop this morning to pick up some fleece on sale. My daughter is keen for me to copy an RTW pair of dungarees made in slightly stretchy polar fleece. She thinks she'll live in them in the deep dark winter. Happy sewing!
Polar fleece dungarees sound lovely for winter!
Thank you, I’m really happy with how the Bestie bag turned out and I’ve used it lots already, I love it. That’s good to know that Jalie instructions are clear to follow thank you! Thank you for the styling ideas for my Ogden cami, they sound fab, I need to have a trying on session with different things from my wardrobe 😊 Hope you were able to find some nice fleece for your daughter’s dungarees, they sound so lovely and cosy for winter!
Hi Cath, I enjoyed your video. I really like the pink lining of your bag. It's lovely, very practical. Hope you have a great weekend/week 🥰
Hi Nicky, thank you, I really like the pink lining too, I’m glad I went with that! Thanks hope you have a lovely weekend and week too! ❤️
Hi Cath. Enjoyed hearing what you've been up to. That fabric for your hubby really caught my eye! Love big, funtional pockets too 😁 For your pink cami, it immediately made me think of a nightie I used to have. Would the Ogden work as sleepwear in summer? If not, I think salvaging the precious fabric would be lovely (even for something like an eyemask or jewellery pouch). Good luck making a decision on it!
Thank you very much! Yes I like the PJs fabric too! A bit different to a classic check! I haven’t considered the Ogden as sleepwear, thanks for the idea! You’re right, it would be lovely to salvage the fabric, it’s so pretty. Thank you!
Thank you for another interesting video Cath. I really enjoy your channel
Thanks so much Carol, I’m so glad you enjoy it! 😊
Hi Cath, I’ve made quite a few Bakerloo blouses….but I’ve always made the collar much smaller and no issues with it being flappy 😂, I love how we can adapt patterns to suit our own style.
That’s a good plan for the Bakerloo blouse, I can imagine it is lovely with a smaller collar! 😊
Hi Cath. Another lovely vlog. I’m very excited to see how you get on with your Jali Eleonore trousers. I bought the kit from G & G way back, but I still haven’t attempted to make it! I will watch your progress with interest and will be looking out for additional advice & tips. Good luck!
Thank you very much! I’ve started my Eleonore trousers now and I’ll definitely report back on how I’m finding them 😊
Hi Cath .. I’d take a photo (on your phone) of the pattern instructions in order, then you’ll have access to the instructions,without having the large pattern out 👍🏻
That’s a very good idea thanks!

😊❤️
Love the McCalls pattern to show off your beautiful checked fabric 😊
Thank you 😊
I like sewing very much.
Just remove that enormous collar and you’ll probably wear the blouse.
Thanks good plan!!
I would just cut the collar off and bias bind it.
That’s a good plan thank you!
I totally agree with you re saving that gorgeous fabric of the Bakerloo blouse. Ogden Cami already suggested is a good idea, or perhaps an Ashton Top. You could add a centre seam to the back, as the print doesn’t need to be matched. I definitely wouldn’t let any liberty fabric go!
Thank you, yes I love a Liberty fabric and that print is one of my favourites, I would love to save it somehow! 😊🤗
Lovely job with the cuffed top! Your attention to detail is impressive, inspiring for me
Thank you so much 😊
