Persephone Pants is my go-to pattern. I’ve probably made at least ten pairs in every conceivable fabric; denim, twill, upholstery, even heavy flannel (dressy pajama mashup!) ❤ I love your channel. Your excitement and playfulness while sewing and creating is very inspiring. Thank you! 🎉
Even though you aren't the happiest with the fit, I still think that what you have made is amazing!!! And such a reason to make practice versions of clothing. Your use of patchwork inspired me to make some puffy sleeves with leftover bunting that I couldn't give my sister, and smaller offcuts are making a hat decoration to match - you've been lovely to watch this week
I am going to hopefully finish your milkmaid dress today from a $10 bedding set from the thrift store! Do you use a zipper foot? I have yet to figure out the right one for my machine and buy it.
omg! loveeeee the patch pockets in fun shapes!! I totally feel you on being frustrated by the wedgie but they are still amazing! I'm currently working on a draft of the Gracie Steel darling dress before making the final for a friend's wedding! my first time doing a legit invisible zip and it was *so stressful* but she is, in fact, invisible :') P.S. does everyone in Oz say "love heart"? it is literally the cutest word, and ever since I heard my partner's mother say it (whose mother was an Aussie) I'm obsessed with it hahaha
Wow!! I’m so impressed with these shorts! 🤩 And with your persistence to keep trying for the right fit! Pants and shorts especially with a zipper always intimidate me 😅 but I’m so grateful for the tips you shared! I’d love to give this pattern a try! 🩳 Also I LOVE that starfish pocket! 🌟 Making shapes into pockets is one of my favorite things. So cute 💖 I’m working on altering a dress for a neighbor - then hoping to start on a patchwork twirly dress! 👗
Thank you Ellen! Hopefully I get them right next time. You can totally do it - zippers are so within reach! Also thank you so much. I think shaped pockets will need to happen again!!
These are so cool! I love the patches/ pockets. Shame about the inseam wedgie situation. I don't sew, but I find your videos so interesting and educational. The fabric choice was amazing; corduroy fabric is so comfy. I have some blue corduroy dungarees and I love them.
@@fromcarlyb Thank you too :) Yeah, they still look really cool though. Nobody would know unless you told them, which is the thing I certainly tend to forget about my own projects. Thank you for making content and sharing it with us. Definitely, it's so soft and comfortable. My mum got married in a purple corduroy jumpsuit in the 80s!
I love all of the appliqué!!! It makes the shorts so fun and lively! I’m currently working on a baby quilt for my friend and it’s taking way longer then expected 😅
The visual of how to do the fly facing is so helpful! Working on a similar pair and was struggling, but this makes sense! Also your wrist pin cushion made me think of fairy bread! ❤️😊
Great shorts! Maybe they will stretch a bit when wearing? 😉 I am making a checkered blouse, trying to pattern match and be zero waste. I love your vibe! Question what thickness of interfacing do you use? Groetjes from The Netherlands
Oh that’s a great point. Ohhhhh good luck with the pattern matching - such a rewarding endeavour! I have no idea what the thickness was for this one… maybe like a medium weight!
i think you can fix the crotch by adding a gusset! should be easy to add if you have fabric scraps, but it might need to be hand sewn in theyre also used to fix armholes that are too small

Thank you so much for answering my question Carly... 🤗🪷

Thank you so much! So true. I need to do more toiles in the future 😅
That sounds amazing !! I hope it went well!
Hey mateys !! Thanks for watching! What’s everyone working on this week?

I made a Fawn Dress (by Common Stitch) this week! Dreaming up some patchwork shorts now 🤩
@@sashharae oooh I hope it goes well! Good luck! There’s no zipper in the milkmaid so I just use a regular foot. 💖
@@helloemilymills love it !!!

I love your creativity! ❤Your ideas are great. I'm inspired to sew when I see how enthusiastic you are. Thank you.
Thank you Lisa! Sewing is the most fun ever !!!!
@@fromcarlyb I totally agree!😄

Thank you Sophia!! I knowwww but oh well! Thank you for watching & appreciating. Love me some cord - such a great fabric.

Oh I’m so glad it was helpful! I hope your pair goes really well - good luck!! Also I love that!!
Soo cute ❤
A little late but love your shorts! I've been wanting to do more applique in my patchwork too
Thank you mate!! It was so fun to add them. Oooh sounds amazing. Good luck with the buttons 💖🙏🏼

Hi Carly! Amazing video as always ❤ can you make us a little video about scrunchies made of scraps? Thanks! Have a nice day🎉🎉🎉
Thank you so much!! I can do this 💖
Are you using upholstery weight/home interior weight fabric? Is it machine washable?
I have no idea sorry!! I would probably hand wash these ones.

Thank you very much! I have a video about the difference between my industrial & domestic machines - maybe you’ll find what you’re looking for there !
