Congrats on 2 years Carole! Love your bucket hats and they suit you so well. Enjoy the lovely weather when you get it❤
Thank you so much Mary and thanks also for saying I look ok in the hats! We are having a wonderful weekend so far in the weather, rain on the way next week so we are loving every minute of warmth!! Thanks for watching 🧵😊
The scenery out your window 😍😍😍😍 I could look at that all day! Those bucket hats are just fab!!!!! You’ll have a great trip with your daughter and grandsons!!
I know Rachael, we never want to leave that place! We have a whole week down there in June, wonder if I will tire of it then? I am glad you didn't say have a great 'holiday' with my Grandsons, you know all too well how exhausting it is going to be 😂. Thanks for watching xxx
Hello, Carole! Love those bucket hats! Rats, I should’ve added those to my Disney sewing list 😂😂 not a free spot on the list to be found now though! 🙈😂 I love the idea of a mother/daughter/grandkiddos getaway! That will be so much fun for you all! Thanks so much for sharing with us, Carole! Happy Sewing ❤~Tiffany
Oh go on Tiffany, surely you could squeeze in making a couple of hats?! You may need them 🥵😂.To be honest, I wish I had made some for our trip! I can't believe your trip is coming up so soon, I cannot wait to hear how you got on.
The holiday with my daughter will be such fun but i imagine quite tense at times as we are all in the same room and I have to share a bed with Katie 😂. Precious times though as it won't be long before those boys won't want to spend any time with Nanny! Happy Mother's Day to you Tiffany 💗
Hi! I’m in Colorado and we are having a wet, cool Spring. I can’t wait for us to warm up.
You are just delightful and congratulations on your 2 year Anniversary. 🎉
Hi Lori, sounds like you have the same Spring as us. Our weather is back to cold and rainy again after a couple of days of warmth! You are so kind in your comment, thank you so much 🧵😊
Congratulations on your two year anniversary and thank you for all the lovely vlogs you put out. The hat and pj's are great. Love your 'favourite pattern' videos, thank you and I look forward to more of your makes and reviews of patterns.
Thank you so much, I really appreciate your kind comments on my videos. I cannot believe it has been two years, I wish I had made a note of all the things I have made and shown!! Have a great weekend 🧵😊
I love your makes and your chat - definitely will watch next week 😁
Thank you so much Avril for your kind comments. I hope you are having a good week so far 🧵😊
Hi Carol! Love the bucket hats!!! They are so cute! Mood fabrics also have a very nice bucket hat free pattern. I get so upset when I lose pattern pieces. Love the easy patterns! So much fun to spend time in your sewing room!
Thanks Katinka, I love making those hats. I will check out the Mood pattern as well as sometimes I wonder if that brim is a little big on me. Hope all is well with you and you are feeling better 🧵😊x
Great makes you have been busy 2yrs wow I wear hats most of times have a couple of old hat patterns which I use now nice pjs great colour winter sewing is calling me have a wonderful week 😊😊😊
Thanks Robyn, I do love making those hats and now I want to make some more for the Grandkids as I had forgotten how much fun they were. I couldn't bear to think about Winter sewing right now as I don't think I have made many Summer things yet! Thanks as ever for your channel support 🧵😊
Love the bucket hat! My daughter wants one desperately so will be downloading that today ❤ thank you
Brilliant Sarah! I do hope you managed to get the pattern and sew it without any issues, it is such a fun item to sew up! Good luck 🧵😊
Hi Carole you are always so busy sewing away I’m in awe of how much you get done, I’ve decided I’m just one of those sewers that procrastinates unfortunately. Funnily enough I did get my husband to go in the loft to get the cases down with our summer clothes in which had my bucket hat that I made last summer. You have inspired me to make a couple more 😊. I don’t do the big four I tend to stick with indi patterns I think it is because presentation makes them look less desirable I don’t think I have the imagination to think out of the box the way you do. The trousers you did in your last video were fabulous. Take care Carol 😊
Ha ha there is something in me that can never be still! My father is the same way and he is 90 so I am really hoping I take after him.
Re Indie patterns, yes they really do try and sell their patterns and there are always so many 'real' makes out there that they use as their photos, not the wooden models the Big 4 use! They always look so much more modern and appealing I totally agree but I guess I stick to what I know mostly and try and look beyond those awful images 😂.
Thanks so much for watching 🧵😊
Hi Carole I think you look lovely in the hats. I've just made one for my mum for gardening using a Nano Iro pattern came out quite nice as it's slightly smaller than the bucket style.Have a good week x
Thank you Denise, that is really kind of you! I can't remember if I reduced the brim a bit on the ones I have made before as I agree it is slightly wider than it needs to be. My Mum needs one as well she told me today so I may do that on the next one! Thanks again and enjoy your weekend 🧵😊
The view from your holiday home is gorgeous, Carole! I would never want to leave! I have that New Look pattern, and need to make it! Your hats are fun, and, your make-up bag looks fab! I hope you’re feeling better! Have a wonderful time with Katie and the boys! Your PJs look so comfy! Looking forward to your collab! I’ve made that last NL pattern you showed. It’s a great pattern! Fun detail on the sleeves! 😘💗
Thanks Andra, honestly we never want to leave that place! Will I ever get bored of the view, I don't think so. We can't go down for another month now so we are in withdrawal this weekend 😂.Thanks for all the lovely comments on my makes this week, the hats are fun to make aren't they. I love doing all the topstitching round and round! Thanks for the review on the New Look pattern. I have had a disaster already as I just don't have enough fabric to make the sleeves!!! I am going to have to come up with something...
Have a wonderful Mother's Day 💗😘
Wow 2 years that was fast 🎉 but congratulations on brilliant videos. Love the bucket hats. Look forward to the colab next week
I know Sandra, 2 years and 183 videos later can you believe it 😂. I now want to make more hats as I love doing all the topstitching! Thanks for watching 🧵😊
I think you will love the Juliet top, Carole! I am a huge Love Notions fan and have nearly all their patterns and the Juliet didn’t disappoint when I made it. Enjoy! And thank you for your two great years of posting videos here xxx
Thanks Karen. I have cut out the Juliet top now after a lot of stress printing it! I do hope to sew it up next week. Thanks so much for supporting my channel and being so loyal 🧵😊
Just got to the end, your outtro was beautiful. That hat! So cute! You've been busy! 🌻🍄
Thank you, I really enjoy sharing the photos at the ends of my videos so I am glad you enjoy them too. I am always busy, I think it is because I am a Gemini 😂. Thanks for watching 🧵😊
Hi Carole,great video as always. Yes I must make my bucket hat up , next job I think. Lovely makes, and I hope you get all your plans done for your holiday. Lively photos of Lyme Regis. Thank you😊
Thank you Bridget. Those hats are such fun to make, I am doing to make a couple more if I have time this week! I am on schedule with my week plans but I have had some challenges. Glad you enjoyed the photos and thanks for watching 🧵😊
Congratulations on you UA-cam anniversary. K xxx
Thanks so much, honestly 2 years is crazy and I still get ridiculously nervous uploading my videos 😂 xx
@@socarole66 awww bless your heart. Your vlogs are great and loved by so many of us sewers. K xxx
Simple patterns and exciting fabrics make the garment GREAT! I completely agree! New Look 6217 is a keeper. Believe it or not, I still have not sewn it up. Your top is lovely. And your bucket hats are adorable. They do suit you. Much better than a baseball cap. I have never made a hat. Yours fits perfect and looks sweet! Very very nice! Only 2 fat quarters. Wow! OOOH those nickers are so beautiful. I love the pink lace. Love the quilted makeup bag! I'm glad Summer has arrived in the UK. I don't even know how to print out a PDF pattern. Congratulations on your upcoming 2 year anniversary on YT! 🥳I'm looking forward to your collab video on Tuesday. I love that tropical leaf jersey! That linen viscose will look great in a dress. I hope Reggie will be ok. Dogs do mourn the loss of other dogs. Have a great week! 🥰♥
Summer had arrived in the UK....now it is gone and back to wind, rain and cold! I reckon you could sew up 6217 in about 60 mins, start to finish 😂. That PDF pattern I printed out, well that was a disaster, I will explain on Friday! You see, this is why I love good old fashion paper patterns, all done for you and half the price.
Reggie was better at the weekend but yes, he really has noticed that Mickey isn't around anymore to torture!
Hope your week is going well, happy sewing xx💗
@@socarole66 No "FREE" PDF patterns for me. I agree! The cost is insane and the work is triple. Have a great week! 🥰
I can’t believe you started your channel 2 years ago! Where does the time go? I remember when your very first episode came up and I’ve watched and enjoyed them all. I look forward to Fridays and your beautiful photos too! 💕 On a quick side note…we are a Disney family too! ❤️😁
🇨🇦
I know!! 2 years, so where did that go? I looked back at my first video the other day 🙈, I keep it up on UA-cam though as I explained about my name and the little pincushion! Thank you so much for sticking with me all the way along and I am glad you still enjoy the photos, I'm sure some people must be bored of my format by now 😂. Yay, another Disney family!! Some people just don't understand do they!! Have a great weekend and thank you so much 🧵😊
Hi Carole!!! OH My, you are being naughty with all the teasing!! I can't wait to see the collab! Your hats are awesome and they look great on you, I also don't think hats suit me, maybe we all feel that way, it's weird...I was laughing watching because I've had similar things going on, with Love notions, with pattern printing, it's a little strange...I love that you say something about Reggie barking, and Woof!! I am loving that butterfly fabric and those PJ's look so comfy!!! You have lots of pretty things to make this week, I'm sure they will come out perfect! We've had a couple of nice days here but if we blink, it will be stifling hot and unbearable🤣🌞Such Beautiful pictures as always, and Happy 2 year anniversary!!!🥳🎉💜
Hi Mary, I did what I hate other vloggers doing and teased you all about another video. Naughty naughty me but I so wanted to tell people of my struggles 😂. The lovely Adam has told me about a small family company who print at a great cost so hopefully my problems will be solved re PDFs (still love the Big 4 though!). I am sat in those PJs right now typing this message 😁.
Stifling and unbearable, yes please ha ha, I just love the heat so I am living in the wrong country! Enjoy your weekend and thanks so much for the gift xxx💗🐶
@@socarole66 yay for the printing and I’m so jealous of the pjs ❤️I can’t wait to try that Juliet top!
Another lovely vlog Carol. Looking forward to the 2 year anniversary vlog. Love your bucket hats. Is that a unisex pattern. I need to make a hat for my husband. Have a wonderful holiday with your family.
Hi thanks for watching! I have just checked the website for the Sorrento hat and they show a man wearing one, so yes! It does come in 4 sizes up to 61cm. Why hadn't I thought of making Chris one?! Have a great weekend 🧵😊
Love the bucket hats, so pretty. You are going to be very busy sewing this week. Lots of projects. I have not done any sewing for several weeks. Graduations and kids moving out and another moving back in has consumed my time. I am looking forward to getting back into my sewing room and making some clothes. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much Carol. I do enjoy making those hats! Your household is busy as always, I am surprised you have time for anything! I do sew mainly in the evenings as always seem to be busy in the day. I bet you are looking forward to sewing up some lovely Summer things. Have a great weekend and thanks for watching as always 🧵😊
Hi Carole, I am amazed at how time is just flying by (when you are having fun 🤣), 2 years of fun videos 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼. I love the hats and the pajamas😊😊. Thank you for sharing the beautiful flowers and views at the end of every video 🙌🏼🙌🏼
2 years I know!! I find it how funny I still get nervous when uploading and editing, will people watch? I always think 🙈.I am not sure that feeling will ever go! Thanks for all your lovely comments and hope you have a wonderful Mother's Day xx
Love the hat, Carol!
Suzanne
Thanks Suzanne! I do love making them, not sure why as they are fiddly 😂. Have a good weekend 🧵😊
The bucket hat came out great! Wow! Two years! Congratulations! Yesterday as I was going through my subscriptions I didn’t see your channel in the list! Somehow I was no longer subscribed! I immediately resubscribed! 🤗 I could look at the view from your holiday home all day long! ❤️
Thanks Nancy, bucket hats are such fun to make! The time goes so fast on youtube, especially doing Friday sews as it seems no sooner than you have filmed and uploaded then another week has gone by! Thanks for resubscribing 😂, UA-cam does strange things sometimes. 🧵😊
Your holiday home has a lovely view. We used to have a holiday home in North Devon, but now we live here. Joy!
Hi Jeanette, thanks so much for your kind comment. North Devon is just lovely, so unspoilt and how wonderful you live there now. Sadly we can only use our holiday home for 9 months of the year, I could easily just stay there all the time! Enjoy your weekend 🧵😊
Fabulous video, Carole, as always.
Love all your makes.
The top you are wearing is beautiful
Adam mentioned a printing service in his Friday Sews. Seems very reasonable
Thanks Agata, yes Adam recorded that after I mentioned it and messaged me straight away! Sounds like a great company to use in future. Hope you are having a good weekend 🧵😊
I love the hat! I gave up on Big 4 a long time ago, but I don't print anything at home anymore unless it's 20 pages or less. I usually send in 4 or 5 patterns at once to be printed - more efficient on the postage and they are nice smooth sheets.
You wont have to print off all the pages on most Love Notions Patterns!! Look for the guide that shows exactly which pages you need to print for the view and size you are making. Their instructions are best viewed on a screen, as there are links that go anywhere you need- including tutorials- in the instructions. The Juliet will be lovely!! Congratulations on reaching your 2-year anniversary! 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Hi Lynn, thanks so much for your hints and tips. I don't know how you can be so patient as to wait for PDFs to be printed, I am always so desperate to get sewing!
Re printing patterns. I can never work out how to layer patterns ( I think I need Adobe which I don't have )and the trouble is as well, I can't decide on a view so needed the whole lot printed anyway. I have done it at home now , it is just waiting to be stuck together 😂.
You can tell, I will never be convinced ha ha!
Have a great weekend 🧵😊
@@socarole66 I guess I'm usually getting them printed while I'm still working on something else to get it in the pipeline ☺I don't have Adobe either, and I did do my own for a really long time. They do get to me in 2 - 3 days, so it's pretty speedy. Adam had some great suggestions for a UK company in his most recent video!😘 I love watching your chats and what your making! (I've got a couple of Disney fans in my family, too! 🥰 Cheers!
Hi Carole. I'm fairly new to your channel, as I'm just coming back to garment sewing after about a 30 year break. I have just made the New Look 6217 top after your top 10 NL recommendation. I'm also not a fan of PDF 's. I have tried in vain to get the scale right, without much luck 🙄. I'm sticking to paper for now. .
I love your bucket hats, and I think you really suit a hat! Thanks for your video's. I look forward to your collaboration. 😊
Hi there and thank you so much for finding my channel! I hope you had success with 6217, it is a good pattern. I have printed out all those pages now but haven't done the worse part of sticking it together, I mean, who has a table that long that all the pieces will fit on?! 😂 It is such a hassle, we need to buy up those paper patterns whilst we still can!
Thanks so much for the compliments on the hats, they are such fun to make and we all need them in our lives.
Thanks again for watching 🧵😊
Happy almost two year anniversary to you Carole! I'm looking forward to your collab with the ladies.
Honestly the years fly by, it won't be long until your 1 year anniversary! xx
I definitely think you look lovely in bucket hats- and yours came out very pretty. All really nice makes!
Oh thank you so much! That is really kind of you, that makes me feel so much better. Have a great weekend 🧵😊
Thanks Carole. Looking forward to seeing how the raglan sleeved t-shirt turns out. I need a good raglan T pattern. What a view from your holiday home! Lovely. 🥰
Hi Debbie, don't rely on this raglan T Shirt pattern. More will be revealed on Friday but I have just left my sewing room in a sulk as it didn't work out how I thought 😂.
Yes it really is a lovely view isn't it, a piece of heaven. Have a good weekend 🧵😊
Love your new top and the bucket hats are super cute (I think they suit you!). I love hats… I really should make myself one or two of those! I have the Big 4 pattern you used for your PJs and I’ve made some PJs from it, but they came out huge. How is it that whenever you use one of those patterns, everything comes out so nicely on you?? I cannot wait to hear what you thought of the Juliet top. Very intrigued by your collab make now. 🤔 I hope you have a fantastic weekend with plenty of sunshine!! Xx 💞
Thanks Izzy, those hats are such fun to do! For some reason I just love doing the top stitching going round and round 😂.
Re the big 4, I just tend to sew the same size all the time. I hardly ever read the finished garment measurements but lets be honest, I don't get perfect fitting garments like you do. However, I just 'came a cropper' with a pattern this week on sizing, maybe should have paid more attention 😂. Our forecast looks amazing for the weekend, shall I send some sun over there?! Mind you if yours was lovely then you really would have wanted to be at the island house. Enjoy all the fun this weekend 💗😘
Ooo I have made a few sorrento hats. They're fabulous 🤩
Aren't they so much fun to make? I love going round and round with the topstitching but I don't like fitting the round top bit 😂. Thanks for watching and hope you are enjoying our weekend of Summer!! 🧵😊xx
Love your hats…..and all the spring flowers….!! 😊🇦🇺
Thank you so much, I do think hats are such fun to make! Have a good weekend 🧵😊
Do a buttonhole stitch by hand around the holes in the top of your hat. It isn't hard to do and looks quite cute.
Oh yes! I could do that thank you. I will pull out the metal and just stitch around, what a good idea. 🧵😊
Hi Carole! I need to check out that knickers pattern; knickers are SO EXPENSIVE in the stores and could be made very easily out of scrap fabric I have left over from tops I make. What a lovely view from your holiday home! Hmmm...one of these days, wouldn't it be wonderful to hold a sewing retreat there? Just sayin'... !!! Happy Sewing!
Hi Deb, do you know I don't have one pair of store bought knickers anymore. I got so fed up with the same old designs and they were getting thinner and thinner and more expensive like you say! Yes, the holiday home would be perfect for a retreat, come on over!! Hope all is well with you and enjoy your weekend 💗😘🧵
The outlook from your holiday home is fantastic. The bucket hats look great so stop telling yourself you don’t suit hats, it’s nonsense 😃. I’ve had Lutterloh disaster in the having sent the damaged one back to Create and Craft they contacted me to say they had sold out and had no more so couldn’t replace it and have refunded me. I’m very disappointed. We’re about to go away in our motorhome for a month so I’ll deal with buying another one when we get back. I’m taking a couple of stitcherys and some small cross stitch patterns with me so I can at least do some sewing. This will be new sewing to me and I’m looking forward to it. Have a good week and I hope to catch up with you while we’re away.
Thanks so much Ann, you know what I mean about hats though? Some people can wear a basin on their head and look stunning! I can't believe you had so much trouble with your Lutterloh order but looking on Facebook today people were talking about similar issues? There seems to be German delivery problem or something?
How wonderful though to have a month away in the Motorhome and yes, those projects sound perfect. Happy sewing and have an amazing time away 🧵😊
Re the 6022, I put in that sleeve detail on a plain t-shirt I made where the sleeves didn’t look quite right. It made all the difference. The t-shirt looks has a more feminine look now and I really like it. I was going to ditch the t shirt as a failure, as the sleeves and shoulders fitted oddly, so it’s a good hack. Happy sewing and sorry to hear about Mickey.
I cannot believe you sent me this! Yesterday I had an absolute nightmare with the Raglan t shirt I wanted to make, the Simplicity one. The sleeves just stuck out whatever I did, after trying several things I did exactly what you said and added some gathers. It, as you say has made it look more feminine. How weird you commented saying the exact same thing 🤣, I've said it many times but I'm sure I'm a witch!
Thank you so much for your kindness re Mickey. We still haven't got over it yet to be honest. It's like a child has moved out of the house that we will never see again 🥲. We will get there I'm sure xx
Your videos are always so happy ! Love the bucket hats, been making some myself for friends. A Mickey Mouse fabric for one and a doggie one for the other, so much fun. Your PJ’s are so sweet and I bet comfy. You get so many projects done and the little ones are fun, zipper pouch!
Love your nature walks, so beautiful. Nice you have a pal to walk with. Have a great week!
Thanks Kathleen 😁. Bucket hats are such fun to make aren't they, I love doing all the topstitching. Now I want to Mickey Mouse one!! Now I am thinking I should make some for the little ones, we can never find their hats and I always need spares at my house.
I do love my walks and especially now I have joined our local rambling group! Have a good weekend 🧵😊
@@socarole66 Oh yes! Disney hats for everyone! Something to do at the holiday home!
Carole, thank you for your kind words regarding my meddling. It could have gone differently, but you are so kind and gracious. I’m excited to see your version of the Juliet top. 😊
Oh Sue, honestly it is so wonderful when people think of me in regards to patterns or helping me out with a sewing problem. It is what I dreamed about when I started this channel, having wonderful sewing friends and you certainly are one 💗😘
@@socarole66 , thank you so much! I have so many friends on UA-cam and you are certainly at the top of my list!
Hi Carole, always a busy bee. I love those bucket hats. Have made a few, but never thought of adding interfacing. Really enjoy your channel and amazed at the number of patterns you have. I recently had a go at a LoveNotions T-Shirt. I had to ask my son help with the pdf layerings 😅. We got there in the end. It turned out really well with first attempts with my overlock machine. Have a great weekend. I am viewing you from Hannover, Germany, where I moved to from the Winchester area in Hampshire (many moons ago!), so it’s always great to see photos of the south coast 👍❤
Hello Amanda! Thank you so much for all your kind comments. Hats are so much fun to make and you can always need more! I just can't get the hang of layering PDFs but we don't have Adobe which I think you need. I just end up printing the lot which makes me even madder! Well done on your Love notions T Shirt and congrats on braving the overlocker! How wonderful you know the South coast and Winchester is wonderful, thanks for watching even though you are in Germany. Enjoy your weekend 🧵😊
For A0 printing I use CLC Print - it's £1.50 per page, and free postage if over £5. Brilliant service, usually get confirmation that it's done the same day, then it takes a couple of days or so for delivery.
Thanks so much for that recommendation! I should have asked you lovely people first before I searched around. Free postage over £5 is amazing. Thanks again 🧵😊
I have been meaning to make a bucket hat for sun protection and thank you for the tip of putting an eyelet or small grommet in the top. Charlie does the dress model try on when I sew for our youngest son. Queue the barking 😂 as soon as you mention your daughter’s dog barks!
Husbands are very useful sometimes aren't they! So funny that Reggie barked on cue wasn't it 😂. xx
The New Look is a great pattern. I make it a lot for my daughter who teaches grade 1. She thinks it's so easy to wear. I've only made 1 for me but I'll do more this year. By the way, don't print every page on pdf's. You can layer and just print the pieces you need. Congratulations on 2 years 👏 👏.
Hi Leann, thank you so much for your comment. I don't seem to be able to layer any PDFs but I don't have an Adobe reader on our computer which you seem to need. I end up having to print the whole caboodle! Yes, that New Look pattern is fab isn't it and such a quick make. Thanks for watching and enjoy your weekend 🧵😊
@@socarole66 Adobe reader is free to download and it makes a huge difference.
I really must make more knickers... Kelly BTW 😂🤩 xxx
You need to make the Acacias! They beat M & S hands down 😂. xx
@@socarole66 thry seem quite a popular pattern. I have got tilly and the buttons and the waves & wild Wonder undies. I may have to get the acacia as well. K xxx
Your hats are great
Oh thank you so much! Enjoy the weekend 🧵😊
Congratulations on 2 years Carole, I always enjoy watching your videos. Love the hats and was wondering what weight of Vilene you use please?❤
Hi Kay, thanks for your kind comments. This time round with the hats I used Firm interfacing but not sure what make it was. I wore the hat a lot over the weekend and it has definitely kept it's shape better than previous hats. 🧵😊
Hello, Carole! I am enjoying your makes on this video, I love those bucket hats! I can’t wear them either, but who cares! I’m excited to see next week’s video for your anniversary, it sure went by fast, didn’t it? I’m terribly sorry that you had such horrible luck getting your pattern printed, I would think that there would be somewhere close by that would do it. I know some people from the UK get them printed, but I don’t really know where. I just printed out the pieces that I would need for the view that I wanted to make. It does get quite expensive to do pdf patterns, I wasn’t meant to buy that pattern, but couldn’t resist. It turned out great , though. Sorry for being an enabler, but not really. 😂 I think I may have to change my screen name on UA-cam and Instagram. Your pictures are beautiful as always. Have a great weekend, 🧵🪡😀
Hi Sue! Adam to the rescue again. As soon as he watched my video today he messaged me to tell me of a lovely family company that print them off and I think he then mentioned it in his video. What would I do without him?! I have now printed off the pattern and I tried to do it without my husband watching then of course, he walked by the machine 😂 FORTY PAGES??? He said!! I need to decide the fabric for that top as I want the tucks to show so it needs to be plain I think. Thanks so much for watching and 'encouraging' my sewing!😂💗
Hello Carol i write to you again to say how much I enjoy your channel especially because you use the big 4 patterns.
I think I have a very similar taste to you, and that being so, take a look at Simplicity 9612 sailor trousers they are fab… also new look 6517 the trousers are also fab but you may already have this pattern? Happy holidays ☀️☀️☀️
Hi Janet, thanks so much for being so kind about my channel and watching. I have made the trousers from 6517 about 6 times and it is one of my favourites. I hadn't seen 9612 before until I looked it up after reading your comment. They really do look interesting... I will try and get my hands on that one. Sometimes I feel that sewing mainly Big 4 may not appeal to a lot of viewers, especially in the UK but they work well for me! Have a good weekend 🧵😊
I get my A0 PDF patterns from The Fold Line. It is £4.00 for one page and £1 extra for each page. Postage isn't too bad
Oh dear, that was actually who I went to and the postage was incredibly high. I liked the fact they did tissue weight paper but I really didn't want to pay £9 for postage. Maybe I did it wrong! I'll have to have another look. Thanks for letting me know you had a good experience. Thanks for watching 😊🧵
I use CLC to print my AO size prints. £1.50 per sheet. P&P is free if you spend £5 or £5.50 or something like that. Not sure if that was what you were talking about though lol. Kelly xxx
Thanks so much Kelly, someone else has mentioned that company. Can't believe I haven't asked anyone before!
I went onto the Fold line and then another company which was SO expensive, it is only posting paper for goodness sake 😂. xx
@@socarole66 yeah that's crazy prices. I got about 5 patterns printed off for less than the amount you were going to pay with postage and one of those was the avenir which was 4 sheets on its own. They also print beautiful instruction booklets for £3.50 each. K xxx
Hi Carole! You did film at your holiday home! Lovely. When you said you'd like to put rivets on your bucket hat, did you mean eyelets or small grommets? Or perhaps 'rivets' is a name for something different in the UK? I love your hats, btw, and they do suit you. I think they're adorable, sweet and reflect your personality. What is a 'Pop' fabric? I've heard you mention it before after you shopped at Joanns in FL, but it's not a term I'm familiar with, and I am very familiar with what our Joann's stocks. To me it looks like a regular jersey without any lycra or spandex added. Thank you! p.s. Thank you so much for sharing the video at the end. What a stunning place to get away to!
Hi there. I am so sorry, I did mean eyelets (the rings with the holes!). I only got the idea as all the shop bought ones have them presumably to be cooler.
Pop fabric is a brand that JoAnns sell, I have seen it in every JoAnn I have been to . It is cotton jersey and available in many designs mainly childrens and novelty to be honest. There is a thicker version and a thinner version. It has its uses but I do prefer the better quality cotton jersey as that bounces back. Many people disagree with me though 😂.
Thanks so much for your kind comments, I really do appreciate that 🧵😊
I too have the New Look pattern of the top you are wearing. Would it be ossible to make it with 😂cotton jearsy.
Hi Ann, I have made it in cotton jersey yes and it made a lovely T shirt. There are a few other vloggers out there who have done the same over the years. I would cut both pieces on the fold though rather than bother with the back opening if you didn't want that. Remember to remove the seam allowance on the centre back though, just move the piece 1.5cm over the fold. Good luck and let me know how you get on! Have a good weekend 🧵😊
The bucket hats are very cute on you! Agree with you on avoiding the pdf pattern format, just isn’t worth it for me, especially when looking at having them printed off. I’d rather just plot off a similar Lutterloh. Your holiday house view is spectacular!
Oh thank you Julie, that is really kind of you! I really don't like PDFs even though I know that is the future, I am just glad I have 1000 paper patterns which I will never get rid of!
The view really is lovely from the holiday home and I will never get bored of looking at the sea! Thanks for watching and have a good weekend 🧵😊
I would not say buckets hats don't fit you! I think they look Beautiful! I tried those knickers from acaia and they just did not work well for me. I'm still looking for another pattern.
Oh bless you Zelda, you are too kind!! Those Acacia knickers didn't work for my daughter either so I just traced out her favourite pair which was so easy to do and copied the same principle of making them up. Don't worry about buying a pattern, just grab your favourite pair!! 👙xx
What is “pop” fabric?
Hi there! Pop fabric is a brand that JoAnns in the US sell. It is mainly novelty and children's prints and all cotton jersey although it tends to be two different weights. It is great for kids wear and PJs but I wasn't keen when I used it for a T Shirt once. A lot of people love it though. Hope that answers your question 🧵😊
@@socarole66 there’s Joann’s in my city but I haven’t been shopping for fabric for quite awhile! Thank you!
