Carole the great thing about your videos is that you don’t try and sell products you just give good information, that’s what I like. I’m so fed up with other sewing vlogs trying to sell serious readers lights at £300, it’s really not appropriate in the current situation that a lot of people find themselves in. Love your adventures and your photos. Your little grandson is very cute. I’m sure if anyone can do justice to a little jacket for him you can, looking forward to seeing your results. Take care Carol 😊
Thank you so much Carol, I am with you on the 'promotions'! I just enjoy showing my makes and chatting with you all, I am not in it to make money 😂. I didn't realise those lights were £300?!?!? that is crazy, when a normal light bult costs about £3 😆. I do understand though that some people struggle with vision in dark rooms and I certainly do but wouldn't spend that money! I do hope I can recreate the jacket or make something similar as he won't remember exactly what it looked like, it will be a fun challenge for me 👏🏼. You are so kind in your comments, thank you very much, I really do appreciate it. 🧵😊
Lovely makes and new fabrics. I especially enjoy your pictures and videos of the English countryside.
Thanks so much Glenda. I'm glad you aren't bored with the English countryside yet! 🧵😊
Believe me, two videos is an absolute treat. Thanks for showing us your holiday meet ups with the lovely sewing buddies, and all your sewing finds. Don’t apologise. I’m sure I speak for everyone when I say what a pleasure it is to watch them.
Oh my goodness thank you so much for a lovely comment! I am so glad you enjoy my videos and my ramblings of my sewing adventures. It was so lovely to meet up with those friends in Florida. Have a super weekend 🧵😊
Hi Carole, great vlog as usual 😊 as others have said the elastic may be boxer elastic (boxer shorts) very envious of you having a holiday home and you can sew there too ❤ hope you had a fab weekend.
Thanks Sally, a few people have said boxer elastic but I have some of that and it is very different. I did get some in the post today which is very similar just not wide enough 😂. I will keep hunting but thanks so much for taking the time to comment. Enjoy your week 🧵😊
Hello, Carole! Thank you so much for the shout-out! I hope you had a wonderful time sewing the little T-Shirts! They turned out so cute! That is strange about them coming out long, I haven’t made that pattern yet, but I’ll watch out for that! And I was so sad for little Charlie! His favorite jacket, how sad! I know how addy would be if that happened to her. Hopefully the new shirt from grandma will cheer him right up! Thanks so much for sharing with us, Carole! Happy Sewing ❤~Tiffany
Hi Tiffany, I didn't say in the video how you helped me out in the sizing, I am so sorry! They were really long but actually if you look in some of the photos they are on the children. It must just be the style, I am STILL waiting on measurements from Katie 😆. I have decided I am definitely going to recreate the jacket for Charlie and I know you would feel the same as me. Its like a lost favourite toy! Hope you have a super weekend 🧵😊xx
Really enjoyed your video your grandsons will adore those tops sorry to hear about the mishap on the plane have a great week😊😊😊
Thank you so much. I do feel a bit sorry we weren't on the same plane to help them but then again, in a way I am glad we weren't as the flight sounded horrible! Have a good week too 🧵😊
Love those pjs! I (Kelly) will be making many more pairs of pjs. So many beautiful makes, you have been busy 🥰
You two so confuse me as to who is replying to comments 🤣. Thanks for putting your name up this time! I love making PJs and to be honest, as I'm sure you understand I get rather hot at nights so I like to change them often hence I make a lot 🤣🤣. Xx
@@socarole66 ahhh sorry I will try to remember to put K on my messages so you know it's Kelly.
I completely understand what you mean 🥵😂
Awww I love Burley, I had my hen do there 🤩🥳 just a bunch of us witches out for lunch and shopping 😘
Ha ha that's so funny! I'm guessing you may have cast a spell or two there then 🤣. It is a weird place though and a unique destination for a hen do 🥰. xx
@@socarole66 hehehe maybe 😘 I don't really drink alcohol so an evening out wasn't me, so my friends organised Burley and it was just perfect 🤩 K x
You might find that elastic in bra making supplies. I actually found some my local fabric store, when looking for some bra making supplies.
Thank you so much! I hadn't thought of looking at Lingerie elastic. I appreciate you taking the time to comment 🧵😊
Thank you Carole. Lovely to see you and your dog modelling again. The makes are lovely 😅
Thanks Anne, he just has to follow me every time I go in the garden! He doesn't zip about so much anymore though sadly. Have a lovely weekend 🧵😊
I think you should do a pattern wheel of fate too
😉 Watch out in the Summer!! Thanks so much for watching 🧵😊
Wow that sounded like a rough flight!!! The poor things!!! I’m sure he’ll love the T-shirt!! I must say I’m a bit scared of that village!!
It was not a great flight and the worse thing was, our flight the next day was lovely and smooth 🤭. That was my daughter's idea of hell as she is always so scared of the boys being sick with tummy bugs as I am sure you will appreciate! He does indeed love the T shirt, yippee. Now to recreate the jacket 😂. Thanks so much for watching 🧵😊
Oh my gosh Carole- what a story- your poor grandson my heart breaks for him! My son was a big lightning McQueen fan at that age - his hands always had a car or Thomas train in each one ! I know he would have been devastated too! Never mind that he has a phobia of vomitting 😂 And by the way- I LOVE your stories - long or short!! If anyone can re create that jacket- I know you can!
Yay for 2 videos! That cardigan is beautiful and those Pjs are so great for “spring” as fleeting as it may be! You have been busy this week! And im so excited for you dipping your toes in the pdf waters!! Those t shirts came out awesome too! Looking forward to all of your videos- as always! Take care ❤❤❤
Oh Mary, my daughter is obsessed about tummy bugs and sickness. The boys went through endless bugs last year and she had been stressing for months about this flight and them being ill. It's almost liked she willed it to happen! Her worst fear and on a 10 hour flight 😭. I am going to try my hardest with that little jacket and hope any differences a 3 year old won't notice 🤞🏼. I not only dipped my toes into a PDF but also the sea this weekend and it was CHILLY! 🥶. When I put my toes in the Atlantic on the Florida side it was certainly a different temperature to OUR Atlantic 🤣. Thanks for watching my friend and hope your holiday was AWESOME XXX
@@socarole66 Yes that Atlantic was so warm in Florida- I did just that - walked down to the water dipped my toes in- picked up some seashells and went back to our airbnb and the pool🤣It was Awesome! Now I’m off to work 😞💗💗💗
I just love that green cardigan, Carole. It looks great on you. The little T-shirts for the boys are so cute, I like that pattern. Can’t believe it’s been two years, already. You’re coming up on 5000 subscribers , how exciting! Love the pictures at the end, you are so lucky to live close enough to visit those little villages. That shop looks so interesting, but spooky.😮
Thanks Sue, that Green cardi is just so soft, its liked being hugged! It really is two years which I cannot believe and yes, I am so close to 5k, it would be awesome if the two milestones happened together but I am not holding my breath 😆. The shop was very spooky with chalices and strange scents for sale, very weird! Hope you have had a good week and you enjoy your weekend 😊🧵
I really enjoyed your vlog. Your grandson will love his shirt. That was interesting about Burley. I'm planning a trip to Salem soon I hope. I do some genealogy for our families and I want to check out our Pilgrim immigrants, came about 1640s to usa. Two of them were involved in the trials apparently, yikes. Amazing what fear and superstition can do. I got that strange feeling you're talking about when I visited York, UK.
Well that will be interesting to find out about your relatives!! My goodness 🧙🏼🤣. A very odd thing happened to us in Salem which I didn't mention. We had hired a RV around New England and did many miles using the Sat Nav with no issue. Then we got to Salem. After our visit we tried to find our way out and it kept taking us round and round and back to Salem chopping and changing its mind!! It was funny, scary and creepy all at the same time and we have never forgotten it. It was like it didn't want us to leave 🤣. My family constantly tell me I am a witch as I predict so much and maybe.... I am!!
Have an awesome and safe trip there! I think I have been to York but many years ago, now Glastonbury is another of those odd places! Thanks for chatting with me 🧵😊
@@socarole66 So funny about your GPS (sat nav)! Did you perhaps stay at the 🎼Hotel California🎵🎵?, 😉😉 I'm hoping we'll get there this year but we're going to New York City on a 5 day bus tour first (we live in Ontario 🇨🇦 and we've never been there. We've always driven around it (too busy) so we thought we'd do a bus tour. But next I hope, Boston , Nantucket + Salem). Oh, and if you're interested, check out Increase Mathers. You can Google him. Apparently he's a Great Uncle from back in the day. Families 🙈
Hello Carole, Regarding the elastic, I don't know if you are aware of Pamela's Patterns by Pamela Legget, but she has Fantastic Elastic in her shop. This is "fantastic elastic" as I have used it for years. I comes in 1.5 inch wide, but you can cut it the width you desire and it will not ravel. It works great in PJ's. Love your videos.
Hi there, thank you so much for your comment and hints on elastic. I have just looked that up and I see they are based in the US. I think they do ship to the UK but it is very expensive. Just one yard would cost me £26! Such a shame as what a fantastic idea to have elastic you can cut to the right width. I have tried that before with other elastic and it wasn't very successful! I will keep an eye out for a UK version. Thanks so much again and I really appreciate you taking the time to reply 🧵😊
❤❤
Thanks for watching 🧵😊
Ryan the Yorkshire sew girl on Friday sews also has the mickey fabric this week!!!!
The minute I read your comment I watched Ruan and yes, she has some for her Disneyland Paris trip! Maybe Adam encouraged her too 😂. Thanks for watching 🧵😊
Great to see you and your makes! So sorry about your grandson’s jacket. Both t-shirts are super cute and I bet they’ll enjoy wearing them. Enjoy your holiday home weekend. 😊-Deborah
Thanks Deborah, the loss of that jacket made me much sadder than anyone I think, except Charlie. I have decided I am going to copy it as best I can. I am sitting in the holiday home looking out at the sea, this is definitely the best decision we have ever made 👏🏼. Have a wonderful weekend too 🧵😊
I will keep my eyes open for that soft fuzzy elastic. I love you speingy green cardigan! I almost bought that green fabric last week! Sad but funny story about the airplane ride. Poor little fellow though. Sounds like a rough ride. Where’s your Disney barf bag when you need it? I love the pics feom your walks! Such gorgeous countryside! Love you!❤
Hi Trish! Why am I so useless on things I buy and remembering where I bought them?!?!? Is it because I buy so much 😆. That poor family had an awful plane trip over and we felt so guilty as ours was 'smooth as a baby's bottom'!! Disney Barf bag....oh that made me howl with laughter 🤢👜. Love my countryside and do hope one day I can share it with you. I am typing this in the Holiday home, I wish I could share what I am looking at right now, it is stunning. Have a good weekend my super lovely friend 💗😘
Great story about your grandson. What lengths we go to for our babies. I totally understand, been there done that. Good luck ❤😅
Oh I really felt so sad about the jacket. I have decided I will definitely have a go at copying it, he won't know if it isn't exactly the same....I hope! Thanks for watching 😊🧵
@@socarole66 I would do the same thing and thought that exactly when you showed the picture. You got this, 😃😃
Another great video , Carol. Thank you.
Thank you so much Catherine, have a great weekend 😊🧵
Hi again. Yes I actually went through the motions of the Palmer Pletch fitting and only adjusted the waist dart a bit. They actually turned out great. I’m not sure if my 5’2” frame actually suits palazzo pants but I was keen to try. I have tried the Palmer Pletch with a woven pattern and quite liked the results. I do think it might not work so effectively for knit fabric patterns due to the variability of stretch of fabric.
Oh well done Julie! Hats off to you on that. I know what you mean about palazzos as you are the same height as me but if we like them, then we should wear them! Maybe you are right about that method and knit fabrics. One day I'll have another go at it. Thanks again 🧵😊
Your cardi and PJs look so comfy! If anyone can recreate the Lightening McQueen jacket, it’s you! Have a lovely weekend! 😘💗
Thank you Andra, I wore those PJs last night and that fabric was perfect for them! Thanks for the vote of confidence on the jacket recreation. Have a super weekend 💗😘🧵
Oh, blame it on Adam, ha ha ha. You're picked up very beautiful fabric in the States and Fabric from Rainbow Fabrics!❤
Yep all his fault 😂. I would never have bought any more fabric......😏😉. Have a great weekend 🧵😊x
Hi Carole don't know if you are on vinted but they have a lightning mcqueen jacket age 3 . Looks the same. Love you cardy and pj's.
Oh thank you so much, my daughter is on Vinted so I will let her know. Thanks so much for thinking of little Charlie 🥰. Have a good week 🧵😊
Hi Carole. The kwik sew cardigan is amazing. You did such a great job on it. I haven’t sewn with the Pop fabrics… but, they sound like something I would love. Pajamas are my favorite things to wear 😊 I love the ones you made. The story of the little jacket made me sad. I’m sure the shirt will cheer your little one up. ❤ Diann
Hi Diann! Thanks so much for your compliments. The Pop fabrics are so soft and make great kids and sleepwear, so many different patterns for all occasions. I have decided to recreate that jacket, I was just so sad for Charlie, it was like losing a soft toy 🥲. Hope you are enjoying your weekend 💗🍓
Loved your green cardigan Carole. And that pattern for the trousers looks great. I’ve no doubt you’ll rustle up something great and something you’ll actually wear! The photos at the end looked lovely. Nice to see some blue skies at last. Have a good weekend. 😀
That green cardi is just so cosy and it is a lovely colour isn't it? I love those trouser patterns, I had chance last night just to make a start on one pair and then the Grandsons came today 😂. Hope your weekend is going well 🧵😊
Hi Carole, that green cardigan is so pretty and a feminine color 🙌🏻. Loved the pj’s too, I also buy the Pop cotton jersey fabrics for pajamas 😆😆. I am sure your grandsons will love the t-shirts, and I hope you can find a similar jacket for the little one🙏🙏. That ice cream looked delicious 🤤. Have a great sewing weekend 💞💞💞
Thank you Karen that is so kind. Those Pjs are so comfy, but as I suspected they do seem to grow bigger and bigger 😂. I am STILL waiting for my daughter to let me know how long she wants the T shirts! That ice cream is called a '99', do you have them in the US? It is the Cadburys flake that makes it a 99 😋. Thanks for watching and not much sewing this weekend as I had hoped! 🧵😊x
Oh interesting, I have never seen that elastic before! Haha I always blame other people for my purchases if I can 😂
So apparently it
is plush backed and I have found it on Jaycotts, keep your fingers crossed for me that it is the same stuff as I've ordered a lot! Thanks for watching 🧵😊
@@socarole66 🤞
I so enjoy watching your videos and your comments on the different patterns you have made. When Joanns recently had Butterick patterns for 2.99 I purchased 6924 not even realizing it was a Palmer/Pletsch method. I opened the pattern directions for the fabric layout and Wow! all those fitting instructions Yikes! I may try to follow the fitting instructions?? or I may just do my usual adjustments of bust dart and sleeve head. The green sweater you made fits you so well and you look so comfy in it. I'm sure you will have success with your little grandsons jacket as you are so creative. Your whole family is so blessed to have you sew so many items for them. Can't wait to see the outcome of the fabric wheel next week. I just love your photos at the end of your videos and listening to that hauntingly beautiful music you play. Thank you to the person who asked you the name of it :)
Well thank you so much for such a lovely comment, that is so kind of you 🥰. It certainly took me back when you said about the Pletsch pattern, there are pages and pages aren't there 🤣. You sound like you know what you are doing so I would stick to your normal alterations 🤞🏼. I'm going to cheat slightly and buy a fleece jacket then work on that for my Grandson. I'm hoping then it will look more convincing as a bought jacket. I do love a challenge 🤣. I love that green Cardi but honestly that pattern is just so easy to fit. I'm so glad you are still enjoying the music. I'm dreading the day someone asks me to change it. I just find it so beautiful. I hope you have found it on UA-cam already. It is such an emotional piece and reflects a lot of the music I listen to when I walk my dog in the forest 🥰. Have a super week and thank you once again 🧵😊
Loved the vlog. Cardigan really beautiful. I enjoy the pictures at the end of your videos. They make me feel like I want to be there 😊.
Thank you so much for your kind comments. I am glad you don't mind me sharing my photos with you, I am not sure you would have wanted to join me on that muddy path though 😆. Have a lovely weekend 🧵😊
Amazon has several plush back elastics.
Thank you! I will search under plush backed 👏🏼. Thanks for taking the time to comment 🧵😊
Prym soft top elastic from Jaycotts
Thank you so much, I'm going right to Jaycotts now to have a look. Thanks for taking the time to comment 🧵😊
Wow, you have been busy this week. Love the cardigan, it is such a pretty color. The boy's t-shirts are adorable. I'm sure they will love them. One of my college kids is graduating and moving out and another is moving back home so not much sewing has been done with all that. It's been getting warmer here and I've realized I need to make some more summer tops. I think that will have to be my sewing focus for the next month. Hopefully I'll get back to my sewing room soon. Thanks for sharing all the lovely pictures of your walks at the end of the video.
Hi Carol, sounds like you have really had your hands full recently so not surprised sewing hasn't been top of your agenda! Can you send some of your warmth over here as it is taking its time to warm up and I would love to make some Summer Tops. I am glad you are still enjoying my countryside photos, it is lovely to be able to show them to people and not just stay on my phone! Hope you have a good week ahead 🧵😊
I hope you can find a similar, if not the same, jacket for your grandson! In the meantime, hopefully the t-shirt will help him feel better. That will be a family story - like how my sister's favorite stuffed animal got sucked up by the vacuum cleaner and my father went all over trying to find another one - he did - long before the internet. The green cardigan is so pretty. I used Pop fabric to make a sleep shirt last year for myself - it is such a comfortable fabric and very reasonably priced plus cute designs that are not too childlike - your pj's are an example of that. Love the photos at the end!
I'll keep looking for that jacket believe me but in the meantime I'm going to have a go at recreating it. It is exactly like a lost soft toy, what a sad but happy needing to your sisters toy! The things we do eh? I do love my new PJs and as you say, they have some lovely designs and so much to choose from. Thanks for watching and your comment 🧵😊
I made the cardigan twice and I love it…. Must make it again….😊🇦🇺
It is such an easy pattern and a lovely shape isn't it. I can't get enough of them! Glad to hear there is another fan out there. Thanks for watching 🧵😊
Boxer shorts elastic carol….great vlog again thank you😊
Thank you so much, I will start searching for that! Enjoy your weekend 😊🧵
An other great video Carole! I loved all of your makes and the green Cardi looks great on you. I bought a big four pattern that works well for a Breton top. It’s Butterick 6966. I have also made the palazzo pants from this. Very interesting construction; they have no side seams!
Thank you so much! I have just checked out that pattern and it looks perfect for a Breton top. Any trouser pattern with just one leg piece always fascinates me. I notice that it is the Palmer Pletsch system, do you do the pattern fitting? I had a go at that recently and wasn't sold! Thanks for taking the time to comment 🧵😊
This was a lovely vlog. Lots of interesting items.
Thank you Ann, that is really kind of you. I am glad you enjoyed this weeks Friday Sews. 🧵😊
Happy Friday Carol. I love your pajamas ! I totally agree, the POP interlock fabric is best for pjs. I say, "you go to be in shorts, and wake up in a skort"..
Hi Kathy! How are you? Lovely to see your photo pop up. That did make me laugh about the pop fabric, it has made the comfiest pjs though. Thanks for stopping by and enjoy your weekend 😊🧵
Hi Carole! I think I recognized that green cardigan fabric!! You have had a nice, busy week in your sewing room. Sorry, I can't help you with the questions you asked about the elastic or the car jacket for your grandson. Poor little guy! I have visited Burley a few times myself. Yes, I have! The tearoom was wonderful! And I loved the New Ponies wandering through the village. There used to be a lovely gift shop in the village that sold leather goods and all sorts of nice things. It has been maybe about 20 years since I last visited the village but it is an enjoyable stop in the New Forest! Have a great week-end at your home-away-from-home!!
Deb!!! Where haven't you been in the UK?! I can't believe you have been to Burley and been in one of the tea shops. It is a quaint and strange place isn't it. Those New Forest ponies are cute but drive us crazy when we just want to get from A to B and all the tourists stop in the road to take pictures 😂. There are a couple of lovely gift shops there as well as the Witch shops. So far so good in the holiday home, we came last night and Chris is working today but I did a lovely coastal walk on my own this morning, just heaven. Hope you are still having the nice weather and not too warm. Have a super weekend 💗😘
Over the years (gosh! that makes me sound so old!!), I have visited many different areas in Great Britain. I haven't seen everything yet but I've seen a lot. One of the little shops that I always went to in Burley isn't there any longer. It was such a lovely, quaint shop filled with beautiful purses, slippers, handmade sweaters, all sorts of gift things, etc. The ponies roaming around the village streets was always very interesting to me but I seem to remember hearing that we were to leave them alone. No feeding; no petting. Now that was several years ago. Anything could be happening with them nowadays.
As for our weather...it is in the 90's today and very hot! You were here at the right time to enjoy a lot of time outdoors. I like it on the cool side in the mornings, warming up a little with the sun for the rest of the day. Feels like we're heading in to summer -- and HOT!-- weather now. Enjoy your seaside week-end!
I think your elastic is lingerie elastic, or plush backed, or brushed back elastic.
Oh thank you, plush backed and brushed back sounds perfect to put into the search bar on Google! I really appreciate you taking the time to message me and watch. Have a good weekend 🧵😊
Your green cardigan is so very pretty! It looks soft & cozy:)
I agree with "no tracing" it's why I don't buy some of the magazines that include the patterns, there's too many lines to follow!
Thank you so much, the cardigan is indeed cosy! I don't know why I fussed about that pattern as I do have Burda magazines in which you have to trace, but to include a 'pattern' and then still have to trace is crazy! Have a good weekend😊🧵
Love the cardigan - such a beautiful colour! Can’t wait to see your new trousers with the denim and the linen. I’ve never seen elastic like that so I’m no help at all! 😂 hmmm you keep saying you’re a witch… maybe you have a great-great-great grand-mother who was a witch hence why you thought that little shop was so fascinating! 😂 xx 💞
Hi Izzy! Thanks so much for the compliments. I managed to make a start on the trousers and then the boys came so that put an end to my sewing 😂. I did wonder when I entered the shop whether my age old instincts would kick in, as I thumbed through the spell book I got quite interested! I know I have the tendencies 😂🧙🏼 Watch this space.....🪄💗xx
Loved your video thank you, also loved seeing your makes,the Cardigan from Kwik Sew looks fabulous unfortunately I can’t get theses patterns anymore hear in Australia.
Thank you so much for your lovely comment. Sadly Kwik sew just doing craft type patterns now, if I want any I have to buy them from Etsy in the US which is expensive! I am hanging onto this one! Have a good weekend 🧵😊
Hi Carole, I commented this morning but it got deleted. Maybe because I was putting in information on the elastic from Joann or Wawak. UA-cam is so annoying. I love your mint green cardigan! Great job. 🥰
Hi Grace! I can't believe your comment got deleted 😂, I promise it wasn't me! Sadly Wawak doesn't ship to the UK nor JoAnns but I may have found something similar, time will tell when I order it. Glad you liked the cardi. Have a great weekend 😘💗
@@socarole66 I've had comments deleted on other channels sometimes. I also wanted to say I'm sorry about your grandson's loss of jacket and being sick. I hope you find another one for him. 🥰
My 8 yo grandson is the same height as my mother. So the long length T would be great for him. I am always adding length for him. The linen will be beautiful as trousers. Everyone gets a Micky shirt!
Christine that is so funny! Boys do vary don't they, I suppose I come from a short family. Ollie is up to my 'chest' at the moment so a little way off yet. I definitely recommend that pattern for your Grandson then. Someone else has said about making matching Mickey shirts 😆. Have a good weekend xxx💗
Lovely video, Carole.
Beautiful makes.
Re elastic - have you tried waistband boxer elastic from prym? It's soft and fluffy. I come in a variety of colours.
Beautiful views
Thanks Agata, I do have some boxer elastic but it isn't fluffy, it is smooth . I will have a look at the Prym stuff and different colours would be spoiling me! Hope all is well with you 😊🧵
I got something like that from Abakan. Used it for pyjamas so soft and comfortable.
I always forget about Abakan, I really must look them up. Thanks so much for the reminder. Have a good weekend 🧵😊
Hi Carole, lovely vlog as always. I googled “soft brushed elastic” and a few turned up, not sure if it is the same. Unfortunately they were here in Australia 😢. Cheers, Linda
Thanks so much, after reading your comment I have searched brushed elastic and I think I may have found some? Time will tell!! Have a great weekend and I so appreciate your comment 🧵😊
Ruan just showed that same Mickey print in black viscose!
Oh what I will have to watch her and see what she does with it! Thanks for letting me know, I wonder if Adam told her too 🤣 🧵😊
Why not use your sticky dots to mark your jeans notches?
I did that in the end! Thank you so much for your comment 😊
A lot of those patterns that come with sewing magazines require tracing - if the pieces don't overlap like the one you have, they print on both sides of the page. The other thing is many of them only go up to UK 18/20. I stopped buying them a long time ago as the patterns for me don't work and the pricing isn't justified by the content alone. You will probably find that elastic on either McCullough & Wallis or William Gee. Both stores stock absolutely everything relating to haberdashery.
Thank you for your comment Jane. I don't know why I was so surprised to be honest as I have got a few Burda magazines and all those patterns need tracing. I suppose it was as before I had some that were just straightforward, I told you I was lazy 😂. Sewing magazines are so expensive now aren't they, you can't really call them 'free' patterns! Thanks so much for the idea of looking on those websites. I'm off to do that now. Have a good weekend 🧵😊
The elastic looks like a sports types, try Wawak.
Thank you so much for that suggestion, I don't know if Wawak ships to the UK but I will definitely look that up! Enjoy your weekend 🧵😊
Pop! makes the BEST holiday prints. I buy a couple of Halloween prints every year for t-shirts. But I do disagree with you in that I think it has great recovery! I notice that now they have 2 weights of fabric. One is a thinner jersey and the other is a slightly thicker cotton. The thicker one has fabulous recovery! Check it out next time you’re stateside! 💕
Thanks so much for your comment and oh dear, I hope I didn't upset you with my POP comment! I bought some a couple of years ago and made a t shirt and it just sagged and grew every time I wore it! This time round in Florida I bought a couple of pieces, the thinner and the thicker stuff. It is perfect for what I want it for and yes, some of their holiday prints were amazing! Such a variety, everything you could wish for. We all disagree on fabric, I really don't like double gauze whereas lots of people do! I do appreciate your comment and so pleased that you have success with it. Have a good weekend 🧵😊
Carol, with your Disney fabric have you thought of matching shirts for either you and your hubby or your daughter and yourself. The elastic looks like it could be mens underwear elastic. I seen similar elastic on my hubby's undies (hope this can narrow down your search).💜🪻💜
Thanks so much for your comment Debra, I hadn't thought of making us matching shirts! That would be so cute to be twins. Thank you also for the idea on the elastic, I will research into that. I am so useless, I wish I remembered where I bought things 😂. Have a great weekend 🧵😊
Hi Carole can you tell me what type of fabric you used for the green cardigan , would appreciate it ❤
Hi there. The green fabric was a knit jersey from Hobby Lobby. It was checks on one side and a smooth jersey almost t shirt fabric on the other side. Hope that helps 🧵😊
@@socarole66 thank you so much for your reply. 🧵🪡🥂
Apologies to Ruan for misspelling!
I'm sure she won't mind at all! ❤️
Carole, what is the beautiful piece of music that you use in some of your videos? I find it so soothing and would love to get a copy of it. Thank you.
Hi Linda, I just love that piece of music too and it is just something that imovie had although I have found it on UA-cam. It is Blue Mountains by Gabriel Witcher. It is incredibly moving isn't it and I would really miss using it if they decided to restrict its use as they do some tunes. Thanks so much for watching 🧵😊
I assume you’ve checked on EBay for the Disney jacket?
Thank you, yes I have and all the other places. I actually did a reverse image search on google and it came up on a Polish website but sold out! We do have a lot of Polish people in our area and as it was in a charity shop it is possible it did come from there! Why couldn't it just be from a supermarket 🤣.
I'm just making a shirt for hubby with a Kwik Sew pattern and was amazed at the 6mm/ 1/4" seam allowance (only done the toile at the moment). I've used that allowance on some of the indie knit patterns but never on a mainstream company woven pattern. I'm not sure how I'm going to neaten the edges as there won't be enough room to overlock the raw edges once sewn together. I might just overlock first and then go over the left needle stitch with the sewing machine to strengthen it. Or add some extra to make the seam allowance wider. I only have one other Kwik Sew pattern and they are mens' shorts, which I made for hubby a couple of years ago - I checked and they have a 1.5cm seam allowance as normal. Very strange.
Isn't it strange you have a 6mm Kwik Sew as well? Like you, I have made some kwik sew shorts for my hubby and that was 1.5cm seam allowance. The ones I make for myself also has the larger. 6mm doesn't allow for anything does it and yes, the Indie pattern companies love it! Certainly means we should always check the pattern😆. Thanks for watching and enjoy your weekend whatever size the seam allowance!! 😊🧵
@@socarole66 I'll sort this pattern out, then I think I'll look for another shirt pattern as he's asked for more to replace some of the shirts he's had for years! I think I'm going to be busy this summer!
That green cardigan is pretty as are the pajamas. Your grandsons are going to enjoy their cute new shirts, I bet. Yeah, I would not appreciate having to trace a purchased printed pattern at all. 🙄
Thanks Norma, that cardigan is just so soft and cosy. I do hope the boys like their shirts, my daughter still hasn't told me how long to make them 😆. Have a good weekend 😊🧵
