- In my sewing room today I am showing the fabrics I bought from my recent trip to @Beyondthepinkdoor in Poundbury, Dorset. I went with the lovely @AdamSews which was so much fun. My Hubby also came along but wasn't as excited as us!
Thanks also to @pinkysfarm461 as Trish gave me a voucher for my birthday which was spent in minutes.
*I have received no commission for recommending this shop, I don't need to as it is awesome enough to visit without me getting paid for it!

Carole, your fabrics are gorgeous!! So glad you spent time with your good friend Adam. Friendships are the best!!! ❤
Thanks so much, I do love all the fabrics I bought and have just cut into that lovely green and blue linen! Sewing friendships are the best above all others 🥰. Have a good week 🧵😊
Hi Carole that beautiful fabric that you got from Beyond the Pink Door is gorgeous, l love blue as well 😍 The rest of your fabric is nice as well 😊
Thanks so much for your comment Tina and I'm so glad you liked the fabrics. You can't beat blue! 💙.
🧵😊
What a fab time you had!!!! And you picked up some absolute gems!!! Happy sewing!!!
We really did and I think secretly Chris enjoyed his trip there as well. Although at one point he picked up a Viscose twill and asked if I could make a T shirt for him 🤣. Bless him!!
You need to make a trip over here 👏🏼❤️
@@socarole66 ahh poor Chris ! Oh I would love it Carole!!
Lovely fabrics, and what a nice review of the shop. I can so relate to "oh here's some really nice fabric I bought, what was I thinking? But, oh my, it's beautiful." More fodder for the wheel of fate 🌻🍄
Ha ha I should definitely do a wheel of fate purely for the 'what was I thinking?' fabrics 😂. Thanks so much for watching, it won't be long before I go back to the shop I am sure! 🧵😊
Oooh, such treats. Feast for the eyes! Trish and I are coming, we just have to come, we need to come see you and all of us go shopping. One day! xoxox
Make it so Jen 🚀
Looks like you two had a blast. Different fabrics for sure.
Thank you, we really did have a lot of fun! 🧵😊
Carole, you have a wonderful haul of fabrics and even better with the bonus jumpsuit fabric!
We recently went to the Disney 100 exhibition in Kansas City, Missouri in the U.S. I'd read a textbook biography of Walt Disney that my son had loaned me a few years ago. I think that book took me about a year to read. It was so detailed I could only read it in small bits! As I went through the exhibit I was like "Oh, yes. I remember that. I remember that".😂 It was a great exhibit, especially the costumes.X
Thanks for watching Diane. How wonderful that you got to see the Disney Exhib as well, it must be different bits on show though I expect. I recently bought a Disney book showing all the park maps from the very beginning and through the years, even the original plans, it is fascinating. The costumes were the best bit for me though!
Happy sewing 🧵😊
Great fabrics! I can’t wait to see what you make!
Thanks so much for watching and I'm glad you liked the fabrics 🧵😊
Some beautiful fabrics and I think that one you bought without Adam will look stunning as a jumpsuit. Not too over top for you at all. I had to laugh about you last haul as I’ve often bought fabric and totally forgotten what I planned. I now (if I remember🤦♀️) write them down in my notebook and when I take a swatch for my fabric stash folder I write that alongside the fabric details. Really works if I remember to do it😂
Thanks so much for watching and your kind comments. Re the mystery fabric, I think my problem is when I get into an actual fabric shop I panic buy! I am sure those fabrics will turn into garments at some point. You sound so organised with the fabric stash folder. I restarted my 'filing index cards' in January but by Feb forgotten all about them 😂 Have a great weekend 🧵😊
So jealous of your BTPD visit…..I will get there one day. All your fabrics are lovely but the final print is gorgeous- glad you ignored Adam 😂😂😂. Happy Sewing. Lynne
So many people liked the Adam reject!! I do hope he reads the comments. Thanks so much for your kind comment and Happy Sewing to you too🧵😊
Old lady fabric, 🤣 What a bonus finding out about Trish's gift card!! You both look like you had a blast!!! I bet Chris did too😇😝 I can't wait to see what you make with it all!! Love the funky fabric, too (sorry Adam....)💓❤
Hi Mary, I love a bit of 'old lady' fabric!! Chris...well I am not sure he was quite so excited as Adam and I were although he did find a piece of viscose challis and asked me if I could make a T shirt for him from it 😂😂😂, bless him!
Wish you could have been there too, you need to come for a visit! 💗👏🏼 Happy Sewing xxx
@@socarole66 or maybe you need to come to little old Rhode Island 😏
Oooh the second round shopping fabric would make a beautiful atelier jupe Charlotte dress 😊
Thanks so much for your comment and I have just had a look at that pattern, I don't have any Atelier Jupe in my pattern collection. It looks a great style for that fabric you are right! 🧵😊
Ohh gorgeous fabrics x
Thanks so much! I have sewn those two Linens up this week and they are lovely. 🧵😊
Love that you went back for the fabric Adam gave the side eye
Well, I just had to and had the perfect excuse 🤣xx
Gorgeous fabric, Carole! I would love to “cross the pond” to go to BTPD!! And to visit you, of course! 😍❤️
Yes! Andrea has placed her store in the prettiest part of the UK so it would be perfect for a holiday ❤️🥰.
Carole the plain linen type orange/peach fabric looked fantastic with your colouring. Hope you make something soon.
Oh thank you, I thought it would be ok in the shop but wasn't sure when I got back from holiday. Still not sure what I bought it for 🤣. Thanks for watching and your kind comment 🧵😊
Lovely fabric haul Carol. I used to live in Blandford St Mary so Hansons was my go to fabric shop. I still go there occasionally and fit in a visit to a friend. I live in Southampton now with hardly any fabric shops 😢 we do have a reasonable Fabric Land.
Such beautiful fabrics from Beyond the Pink Door look forward to seeing what you make.
Happy Sewing 🪡🧵
Hi Susan and wonderful to hear from someone that knows Hanson's! I have been to Blandford St Mary camping at Inside park and go to Blandford every other week. Do you ever go to the fabric dept at John Lewis in West Quay, they don't have much and it's always expensive but nice for those special garments. Hopefully on your next trip to Blandford you can 'pop' down the road to Dorchester to see Andreas shop!
Thanks so much for your comment, I love hearing from fellow 'Southerners' 🥰 xx
@@socarole66 hi Carol, yes I do go to John Lewis West Quay the haberdashery department isn't brilliant but do agree sometimes some nice fabrics.
I used to go to Poundbury to go to Pauline's I used to go to Pauline's when she was on Brewers Quay, Weymouth.
Yes I do know Hanson's well. I will visit Beyond the pink door one day too thank you.
I did use your tip about the outsized mens t/shirt it worked well 😉
I've never camped The Inside Park but drove passed it many many times 😂 x
Gorgeous fabrics!! How amazing that you had vouchers to spend too! I think we need to have a #FridaySews meet-up in Dorset next year. 😂 xx 💞
YES YES YES, I cannot wait to show you around Dorset and Andrea's lovely shop. Hopefully on your next trip you can stay in our area for longer. xxx💗🤞🏼
Such pretty fabrics and how wonderful and that you and Adam were able to meet up and shop together. Thank you so much for sharing the pictures at the end as well.
We did have such a good chat and meet up and of course mooching round the new shop! Andrea was just so kind and lovely to us and those fabrics 🤩.
Thanks for watching 🧵😊
What an exciting time you had at the Pink Door. Such good friends you have and what a great fabric haul, so pretty! You will have fun looking at them till you decide what to make. Great colors and patterns. Such fun! Thanks for sharing ❤
Thank you Kathleen. I managed to wash them all today and get them dried outside as the weather has been fab. Now they can be sewn! Where to start?! 🧵😊
Well I’m so jealous of your lovely trip to beyond the pink door. I’m in Cornwell at the moment holidaying it’s a bit too far to visit unfortunately. Looks like you enjoyed your self with your lovely companion Adam. 😊
Hi Carol! Cornwall isn't that far away from Dorset! Well, it depends how far down you are 😆. Hope you are having a wonderful time down there though and the weather is being kind to you. Adam and I had a wonderful time thank you and thanks for watching on your holiday! 🧵😊
Carole, thanks so much for taking us along and how fun to experience this trip with a friend! . I know how excited you've been that Andrea chose Dorset. I'll trade you BTPD for JoAnns, 😉. I still haven't checked out Adam's site but he is mentioned so often by so many of the British sewists I like to watch. When I buy fabric, I immediately cut a small corner off, put it in a fabric album and write down what it is and where it came from with washing instr. . It's been so helpful in learning about various fabrics. Since I have to buy 98% online, it gives me a better chance of understanding what I'm probably buying.
Oh I am so glad you enjoyed my video and seeing our trip to BTPD. I have to say..... I would happily trade JoAnns as they sell other crafts as well and are ENORMOUS! Sorry Andrea 😂 So your index of fabric, yes that is what I intend to do every year and have a little filing box with a lot in but I forget about February and just get carried away sewing the fabric as soon as I can! There is just no hope for me.
Thanks so much for watching and your comment 🧵😊
Awe! You and Adam look so cute! You picked up some beautiful fabric, Carrole. That was so sweet of Trish to do that for you! You deserve it.
Thanks, we had a blast shopping and having coffee together even if Chris and Adam kept talking about cars 🤣 xx
@@socarole66 That’s men folk for you!!
Loved all the fabrics in your fabric haul, but my absolute favorite was the one you went back to get with Pinky's gift certificate at Beyond the Pink Door! I hope you make that jumpsuit first. Adam is the ultimate advisor, but it's always good to go with a gut feeling when you fall for a beautiful fabric. What a cool experience to shop with him at the new shop!
Ha ha I do you hope that Adam reads some of these comments! I am so glad you liked the jazzy fabric. I do need to make that jumpsuit you are right but I probably won't get the chance to wear it until Sept when I am next away so there is no rush! Adam was such fun to shop with.
Thanks so much for watching 🧵😊
Nice fabric haul 😊
Thanks Stephanie, I've lots to work on now 🧵😊
Carole, you were so lucky getting to Andrea's shop. So glad you got some lovely fabrics that you love. Anxious to see what you will make with them. Happy Sewing Carole!
Thanks Theresa, honestly I could have spent a fortune in that shop but Chris was with me 🤣. It is always there now when I need it! Happy Sewing to you too 🧵😊
LOVE the fabric you bought with my gift certificate! So glad you were able to retrieve it! I havent been sewing because James has covid and hes locked in the upstairs with all his germs lol! Im dying to sew again! For now I am living vicariously theough you! Love you Carole ❤ and hello to Chris!!!!!
Oh, Trish, I'm so sorry your hubby has covid. More sorry that you can't sew.😢 I'm sure once you get back to the sewing room, you will create some lovely garments.
Oh no! Poor James 😘. I had no idea Covid was even a thing anymore. You need to dust off your Nurse's Outfit again then!! Get a Hazmat suit from the Space Centre and get yourself in your Sewing room 🤣.
Thanks again for your voucher 🥰
Love you and tell James to get better soon xxx
What a wonderful treat going shopping with Adam love the fabrics especially the surprise one im a little envious have a great week 😊😊😊
Thanks Robyn, Adam and I had a great catch up and lots of fun. I'm so glad I went back to pick up the 'jazzy' one 🤣. 🧵😊
Oeh, you spent time with Adam! How lucky are you! Your new fabrics are awesome!
Oh Katinka, you came a year too early! You could have been there with Adam and I. Thanks for taking the time to watch xx
Stunning fabrics, Carole. I love the fabric you come back for. And this linen jacquard is fabolous
Thank you very much Agata. I am glad you liked the viscose I bought on my second visit! 🧵😊
Just a word of caution with the linen jacquard…. Watch carefully where the flowers bloom! 🥰😳.😉. I noticed they were quite large and could make a statement if placed undesirably. 😂. Hope your “I don’t know why I got this” fabrics find their way into your wardrobe. Good luck.
Oh gosh yes! I hadn't thought of that and could easily have made a slip up. Not that I go anywhere where people know me for anyone to notice 🤣.
Thanks for your comment and watching 🧵😊
Beautiful fabrics and definitely the fabric you went back for is gorgeous for a jumpsuit 😊
Thank you Sandra, I hope Adam reads your comment 🤣. Hope your week is going well 🧵😊
The costumes were fabulous to see; thanks! Great fabric haul(s)!
Thank you, I am glad you enjoyed the photos and fabrics. 🧵😊
The burgundy viscose jersey looks very good on you. ❤
Thank you very much, now what to make with it?! Thanks so much for watching 🧵😊
What lovely friends you have Carole. You must have been ecstatic to treat yourself to fabric and to visit Andrea too.
I do indeed Annette, I am so fortunate to have found those lovely people. It was great to spend the vouchers as Chris was there 🤣. Thanks for watching as always 🧵😊
Glad you had a great visit Carole. It’s a real treat isn’t it. Definitely need to spend more time in Dorset - despite the drive from Scotland! After I visited Andrea, I took a winding route back to the M5 remembering all the lovely holidays I’ve had down there with family. Walking up Maiden Castle and Golden Cap, fossil hunting on the beaches, apple cake & clotted cream at Mangerton Mill ….😊 💖x
Hi Debbie, it really is a treat to see all those lovely fabrics in person isn't it. You certainly travelled a long way for your holiday, we are incredibly lazy and have never travelled further North than the Lake District and that was when we lived in the Midlands! We tend to go South instead 😂. What wonderful memories you have of the best places. Thanks so much for watching 🧵😊
You bought some beautiful fabrics. I look forward to seeing what you make with them. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you very much Carol. Which one to start with that is the question! Have a great week 🧵😊
We need a man chair in all our shops 😂
We certainly do. Lakeland ltd used to have sofa type chairs with newspapers and headphones for their customer's partners 🤣, sadly no more!
Thanks for watching as always xx🧵😊
Very pretty fabrics!! So much fun shopping with a fellow sewist 😊
Thanks Monica, you are right in that it is so much more fun shopping with a sewing pal! Have a great week 🧵😊
How wonderful you were able to use your gift certificates, especially the surprise one. All of your fabrics are beautiful. I'm going to my local fabric store, also using gift certificates. Almost everything is half price for an inventory sale. I want to buy five different colours of gingham, light blue, light green, pink, lilac, and yellow to make a western style shirt, combining all the colours. Figured out which pattern pieces for each colour, then figured out how much fabric to buy for each. I think it will be pretty and unique.
Hi there, thanks so much for your comment. Your Western shirt sounds awesome! I can't believe you managed to get 5 different colours of gingham and I imagine it really did take a lot of working out what colours went best and where. It is certainly going to be pretty as you say and will be admired by many I am sure. Good Luck! 🤠🧵😊
So fun, Carole! Beautiful haul! 😘💗
Thanks for watching Andra, I have a good supply now! 💗
Hi Carole, just found your channel and everything you make is right up my street. Just looked at Behind the pink door site and love it. But could you tell me what GOTS mean. Thanks for your time talking to us.
Thank you so much for finding me! I really appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment. As I understand it GOTS stands for a leading standard for organic textiles. For example, harvesting the raw materials and labels etc. You know you are buying environmentally responsible fabric when you see that logo. Happy Sewing! 🧵😊
@@socarole66 ❤️
I’m so jealous, Carole! I just love Andrea’s fabrics and have bought many yards from her in the past, but sadly, no more due to expensive shipping rates, even though she does all that she can to keep costs down. I used to watch her lives also, but like you, it became way too expensive. My husband actually has banned me from buying fabric until I used up most of what I already have in my stash! I think I might die before I use it all up. 😢 . I just love your new fabrics, from both shops, the colors are perfect for you, even that brownish color. Colors don’t really come out true on screen, but close enough, I guess. That fabric with the flowers will make a gorgeous blouse. Your friends are so generous to give to gift certificates, what fun! So glad you had a ball shopping. The costumes are magnificent, can you imagine trying to wear those around? Everything except the Minnie dress would be so hard to move in. Thanks for for this little glimpse into BTPD, as we all love Andrea, and I’m thrilled that she painted her door pink, just as I thought. Take care and stop draping yourself with those fabrics and make us something!😂
Hi Sue, thanks as always for your comment. A ban on buying fabric, now that isn't fair! I am so fortunate to have those generous friends you are right. Seeing Andrea's fabrics in reality was wonderful and I am so glad now I have somewhere to go to for quality fabrics I can actually touch. She did manage to paint her door but it isn't easy in Poundbury, King Charles made a lot of rules when he planned that town! Ok....no more draping...just sewing.
Thanks again 🧵😊x
It really IS a pink door!! LOLOLOL...I think that's funny -- you went BACK to the Pink Door to shop some more after lunch. LOLOLOLOL... You've got a nice supply of fabric now to keep you busy for a while. Even though you were inside sewing while on holiday, you still managed to get a decent tan! Happy Sewing!
Andrea is very lucky to have got the agreement for that Pink Door! I don't know if you know about the history of Poundbury where she is but it was designed by King Charles and he put in place a lot of rules for the area so as to keep its character. The colour of the doors was one of the rules! I did get a tan as I sewed in the evenings. Unfortunately there is currently the Euros Football competition going on with matches all the time. Chris watched one every evening but it did mean I could sew!
Thanks for watching my friend 🧵😊xxx
I don't remember hearing anything about Poundbury before so I looked it up on the internet. Sounds very much like the Milton Keynes area where my friend from London moved with his family when his children were very young. He now lives in Scotland. But MK was built as a new type of city in England, very modern. I've never been there but this is what I understand it to be.
@@DebsWay Poundbury is a very unique town unlike Milton Keynes which is what they called a new town, we lived in Redditch and Yate which were similar.
Charles created Poundbury as a one off and originally everyone thought he was crazy! It does work well though with retail, work and living all in the same area designed for a traffic free life. Cars are there though but they don't have any driving restrictions! They are very tight on shop and business signs and colours of things, everything has to blend. There is 35% affordable housing but the rest seems to be old people now 🤣. It is still growing. Xx
You used to live quite a bit North of where you are now, didn't you?
I love all your fabric.. I adore the fabric that Adam didn't... I"m surprised he didn't
Thanks Cindy! I think the viscose is more of a generational thing. Let's hope I was right and it sews up well. Thanks for watching 🧵😊
That viscose swirl looks familiar... Can't tell if it's gray or blue but I found one similar in a remnant bin less than a meter and(description on the remnant was "mystery fabric")
made the style arc Edith top with white accents and peplum. I don't particularly like working with viscose or even after a couple washings it tends to go wonky. But it's standing up okay to the pattern so far.
Hi there, the viscose swirl fabric is a sort of grey and burgundy colour, I wonder if you have the same fabric. I personally do love working with viscose but it does need a gentle hand as it can be a slippery customer! I have just looked up the Edith top and it looks a great pattern, really interesting. I bet yours looks amazing. Thanks for your comment 🧵😊
Beautiful fabrics Carole ❤😊
Thank you very much! 🧵😊x
Hi Carole. Looks like you had a great time at BTPD. Andrea did name check you and Adam in the Sunday live 😊. I do love the “old lady colour” linen that you bought, gorgeous colour, but then I would as I’m an older lady 😂. Looking forward to some more Lutterloh makes. I won’t get chance to do anything with my Lutterloh until probably September/October as we tend to travel quite a lot in the summer months and are away at our holiday home in Scotland in a few weeks, but I have other sewing plans for that. Between now and Scotland I have a caddy to make for my friends birthday, and a couple of t-shirts for hubby and me. I really think I need to sew a couple of extra days into the week, just for sewing. Anyway thanks for the vlog and look forward to seeing your makes with you new stash. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Hi Ann, oh it was wonderful to see all Andrea's lovely fabrics in reality and even better that Adam was with me (oh and Chris of course!!).
You say you are going to make a Caddy? Is that one of the ByAnnie ones that Adam makes? I admire you for having a go at that, I can do bags but not if they have endless binding!
How wonderful that you are away most of the Summer, don't blame you at all and yes, some extra sewing days in a week would be perfect! Thanks for watching 🧵😊
@@socarole66 hi Carole. Yes the Caddy is the one ByAnnie. I made myself one first as a trial. There are lots of components to it and it takes me a few days to produce one. I’m sure Adam can probably do this in a few hours and is very well practiced. I do find the binding the trickiest part but fortunately I have a good machine so it copes well with it (Juki DX7). We have a motorhome and also a little place in Scotland so do tend to try and make use of them both in the better weather, although we use the flat all year round.😃
@@annscott4031 oh well done! I know a few UA-camrs have made them and got on well but exhausted by the end. No idea how Adam churns them out in such quantity but mind you, it's his business now.
What a transient lifestyle you have and I thought I travelled a bit 🤣. Thanks for coming back to me xx
Love the fabric you purchased! What is the pattern number you used to make the top you are wearing?
Hi there, thanks so much for watching and your comment. I forgot to say what I was wearing but it was New Look 6022, a dress. I did make it and review it on my #friday sews for 17th May, it wasn't smooth sailing I will admit making that one!
🧵😊
Looks like you had an absolutely great time at BTPD! I love, love, love that fabric you "sneaked" back to buy later but everything else you got is also very, very nice. I have started taking photos on my phone of the end of the bolt to help in remembering what a fabric is made of because I think I'll remember and I don't...🙄. The costumes are great - I went with my daughter to New York City some years ago to see gorgeous clothing from Downton Abbey - the fabrics, trims, workmanship, styles were exquisite and so much fun to see close up.
Oh my word!! You got to see some of the Downton Abbey costumes? That is the programme I always watch in my sewing room just to admire all the clothing. I need to research that now! Taking a photo sounds like a really good idea to me, I have in the past tried to write stuff down on filing cards but then forget.
Thanks so much for your comment, I am very envious you got to see those costumes! 🧵😊
@@socarole66 It was before the Pandemic, and it was a great experience! I don't know if there is a permanent exhibit anywhere but it seems like if there is one, it should be in England. The clothes were beautiful.
@user-wu7sv6hr7v I've just checked and I need to get myself on a plane to Chicago, it is currently on show there 😂. I need to keep my eye out as it is bound to come back to the UK at some point. Thanks so much for letting me know x
@@socarole66 😀!
i’ve just subscribed to your chanel. where about in dorset do you live ? my daughter lives in weymouth.
i am saving to go to see Andrea so i can have a blow out. hope to meet you one day. Debs i live in honiton devon.
Hi there, thanks so much for subscribing and also taking the time to comment. We actually live right the other side of Dorset on the Hampshire border. Our holiday home though is right on the other side of Dorset, what we refer to as 'Real Dorset'! I do know Honiton and of course drive through there often to get to Devon, like most people do.
You need to go to BTPD shop, it really is wonderful and Andrea is so lovely and welcoming, keep saving and maybe we shall meet there one day!
😊🧵
My husband learnt to check for pattern matching from sewing bee too. It has a lot to answer for
Oh that is hilarious! They think they are Patrick don't they 🤣. Thanks so much for watching 🧵😊
