  • The perfect holiday souvenirs for any sewing room...FABRIC and PATTERNS. In my sewing room today I show what I bought in Florida and there is quite a bit. I loved being able to see and feel fabric in person, something I don't often get to do where I live.
    I was wearing a Style Arc Fran Knit Top in a Cotton Jersey

      Thank you so much for finding me and taking the time to comment. I have heard the rumours about JoAnns. I didn't think it would be all the JoAnns though from what the staff say. I know when I was with Grace and Deb they were quizzing the staff about it! I really hope so for your sake some stay open, I would hate for you to end up the same as the UK.

    Carole, I really love your "BORING' green fabric! It's NOT boring at all. If I see it again at the Sewing Studio I will be picking it up! I also love your light green pastel jersey knit from Joann's. Great for a cardigan. You came home with some wonderful fabric. You MUST make Simplicity S1499 with the beautiful floral quilted fabric. If I find a nice quilted fabric, I'd like to make View A. You got some really nice patterns. It was wonderful to see you Carole! I hope to see you again soon. 💖💖🥰🥰

      Thanks Grace! That fabric just looked a bit 'safe' against all the others but I'm sure it will make a very useful ..something (not sure what yet!). I have just whipped up a cardigan from that green fabric and it is the softest thing I have, it's wonderful. I have just ordered a pattern for the quilted jacket but thanks for the recommendation, I hadn't seen that pattern but I must admit I need sleeves over here 🤣. It was fun shopping with you, hope I can do it again some time. Happy Sewing 😘💕

    So glad you enjoyed your trip and got to see friends. Beautiful fabric. I have a lot of the same patterns you purchased. Butterick 6418 is a great top pattern. I have made 2 and loved them. New Look 6216 is also a favorite of mine. Love the pants, I have made 4 pair and have another one cut out. The top is nice also nice but I have only made it once. I have 3 copies of that pattern because I know I will wear them out and it is cheaper to purchase the pattern than trace one out.

You have done the same with me for 6216, I am so scared my very well pinned and used copy of that pattern will disintegrate I bought more! I have only made the trousers once and not sure why as I was really happy with them. We did have a wonderful trip and of course it was so wonderful to catch up with those lovely ladies.

    I grew up and lived in Orlando most of my life (I just shared this with Tiffany / Hoosier Handmade but I can't remember if I mentioned this to you before - if I'm repeating . . . sorry!) I bought the fabric for my wedding dress at the Sewing Studio 35 years ago. My boys still live in Orlando. And at some point or another my entire family worked at Disney World, myself included. My mom was actually a character - usually Pinocchio. I worked in the construction offices of Disney's Boardwalk. My dad and grandad worked in the Drapery Department. My grandmother and aunt worked in a couple of the shops. 🙂Loved all your purchases! I just picked up New Look 6216 over the weekend because my Hobby Lobby is clearancing out there NL patterns and they were 99 cents. I also picked up another pattern I've seen you make but I can't think of which one it is at the moment. Anyway - looking forward to all your makes!

      The minute I read your comment this morning I had to send it over to my daughter! She is a complete Disney fanatic, lives and breathes it. How awesome that your mum was a character but are you telling me now that they aren't real?! 🤔😂. I have heard that it is always a secret who the 'main guy' is (Mickey), is that true? My husband did a Disney course once on training and customer service in Disneyworld years ago and to this day, he doesn't stop going on about it and all the secrets he learnt 😴. How awesome that your entire family worked there. Anyway!! Back to sewing.... I think you will like NL 6216, its a nice simple make and the trousers are good too. The Sewing Studio is a fantastic place, I know why Deb (Deb's Way) goes there all the time! Thanks so much for watching and hope your sewing week is going to plan! 🧵😊

    Hi Carole! Such nice purchases!
    I just want to give you encouragement for Butterick 6327. I have had great success with it and it is one of my favorite patterns! I have used it to make 4 pairs of work pants out of a couple different bottom weight twills, one lightweight suiting fabric, and one stretch suiting fabric. I plan to make a pair in denim sometime - not sure if mine will qualify as proper “jeans” as I do not plan to put on rivets or designs on the back pockets but they will look close enough for me. With the things you have made before I do not see you having any problem with this pattern 🙂

I am really keen to have a go at that one as I am always on the hunt for a good jeans type pattern. I never put rivets it either and to be honest, I had never even thought of it!

You look great in those bright colors, it really brings out the color of your eyes and hair. Looking younger is just a bonus. I don’t have any fabric stores close to me except for Walmart, not a fabric store, they are no selling much fabric and patterns these days. I’m interested to see what you make with those beautiful fabrics. Tell your hubby I said he would look younger also if he would wear that raspberry fabric! Lol I can hear it now.

      Thanks Sue! You must have been in cahoots with Jen and Trish as they said I HAD to get that raspberry fabric. It is a gorgeous colour though and I think Trish bought some too. Sad to hear you don't have any physical fabric stores near you, it is so much nicer to see fabrics in person. I am so impatient I never want to get the samples posted they offer. It is funny but when Chris wears red he does look younger! He looks all dull and grey when he wears blue etc, perhaps he needs more brightness in his life too 😂. He loved the Red Pluto T shirt I made him but I think raspberry with flowers is pushing it too far 😉. Have a great week 🧵😊

A bit said to go cutting up a comforter but it is what it is.

I sure hope it doesn't! Can't wait to see what you've made already. Instead of spending time in my sewing room today, I was outside on the pool deck taking care of the plants out there -- weeding, fertilizing, watering, etc. It was in the 80's today! Whew!! And I have not felt like doing that type of work for several weeks until today. YEAH! (for me...) Have a great week!

      Hi again Richard! Don't worry, one of my best sewing friends is a guy, the lovely Adam Sews 🥰.
      I started watching Mimi G about 6 years ago when she was just a content creator and watched her grow her career. I don't follow her anymore as her style isn't mine but I do remember a brilliant series she did with her hubby (Norris?) where they chose the same fabric and made up different things, it was great! 😊🧵

    Carole, thank-you for sharing your haul! It's inspired me to get back to my machine. For your quilted jacket (for which I LOVE your fabric) check out SEWING IN THE CITY Christine Lindebak. She has designed a quilted jacket pattern, and I believe ( I'm not positive) has a tutorial. I'm looking forward to seeing it made up. As always, happy sewing 🌷 Bernadette

      Hi Bernadette, thanks so much for the quilted jacket pattern suggestion. A few people have suggested some so I need to do some research. Glad you are inspired to get back to your machine, just make something simple and fun to get the 'sewing juices' flowing! Have a great week 🧵😊

    I love all your fabrics. I especially love the quilted piece. Love Notions has a cute jacket for quilted fabric ( I know it's PDF😂 ). There is also a Kwik Sew pattern, I can't find my copy right now, maybe someone else can supply it.
    Where did you find that quilted fabric?
    Thanks for sharing your purchases.

      Hi there, a few people have suggested patterns for the quilted fabric and I think the one that will win will be the one with a printed pattern 😂. I do like Love Notions patterns though, wish they weren't just PDF. The quilted fabric came from JoAnns, I just couldn't resist that! Have a super week 🧵😊

    Carole, it's pretty funny that you enjoy Joanns and Hobby Lobby so much in the States. They are the only 2 stores for sewing in my area of upstate NY and I am so over them. I buy (almost) all of my fabrics from the UK and occasionally France now. But you got the advantage of the exchange rate being in favor of the sterling pound over the US dollar. Lucky girl! Just as an FYI, Minerva Fabrics in the UK recently added quilted fabrics to their range and they are gorgeous! You should take a look at their introductory video and of the patterns they recommend. ua-cam.com/video/Ad6hTNmjh6o/v-deo.html . I also liked the pale green, with darker green lines, fabric and it brought to mind a cute summer top but with shirring for the middle of the back panel. Anyway, thanks for sharing!

    • @socarole66
      @socarole66  3 місяці тому

      Thanks so much for the link and heads up on the Minerva fabric. I order from them a lot as the post can be quite fast if you pay for it! I always fail with fabric though as I find it hard to buy exactly what I want online...hence my excitement when I come to the USA! Sometimes I just want to touch the fabric and see the colours in real life. I will take a look at the link though as I am really interested to see what they suggest. I have actually been to some wonderful French fabric shops on holiday and actually a marvellous one I found in Spain. We are just really lacking in my part of the UK sadly. Thanks again and I really appreciate you taking the time to comment 😊🧵

      Carole, you will have to just travel into London to visit all of the amazing fabric shops and to Birmingham where Guthrie and Ghani are located. Seems like that would be easier than waiting to come to the US. Anyway, thank you for all of your lovely content.

    Sounds like the perfect holiday! Lovely fabric. May I ask did you take your crocheting on the plane? Any problems with the hook re security? (When I asked at the airport they said I couldn’t take it through)

    • @socarole66
      @socarole66  4 місяці тому +1

      Hi Stephanie, thanks for watching. I did indeed take my crochet on the plane, two hooks, sewing needles and some baby scissors ( the rounded end ones) all with no trouble at all. I have to say I didn't SAY I had them, they were just in a bag that went through security. I have done it many times in Spain, Canada, Austria, USA and obviously the UK airports. The airport people you asked probably didn't know what they were 😂, I know that knitting needles aren't allowed so they may have gotten confused. Have a great week 🧵😊

      Pop is a fabric brand geared to children that is sold at JoAnn stores. I love their thick knit because that one does have a good recovery.

    • @socarole66
      @socarole66  4 місяці тому

      Thanks for your comment. Now someone will correct me if I'm wrong but I understand POP knit to be a brand of cotton jersey that JoAnns stock. In my opinion and several others it isn't the best quality. Mainly suitable for children's clothes and nightwear however, the prints are very cute and quite varied. It is beautifully soft and I hope it will be perfect for PJs. Hope that answers your question 🧵😊

      What a terrific fabric haul. I bet the prices were pretty good too. I really miss our C&H fabric shop which closed a couple of years ago. There is now nothing in our area to replace it. I’m sorry but patchwork shops don’t fill the gap. I’m sure you’ll have a lovely time making them up. It’s so long since I got the chance to do fabric shopping in the USA. I really miss it, your video filled the gap vicariously.
