Omg - the colour match of the silk shirt with the green pants…it’s like they were separated at birth! And with that orange coat, it’s just perfect. The whole outfit is like it’s from one designer’s collection. Though I guess it is, essentially…from your closet collection! I’m hoping to muslin my Byrdie button up in the next few weeks and now I’ve got silk on the brain…
Right!? When I opened the package, I immediately grabbed those pants. I need to have more social engagements so I can wear this stuff out of the house! haha. A silk Byrdie has also been on my list (I really want to make another Byrdie or two this year--I wear my white linen one like crazy!).
I need to learn how to sew. I'm a guy on the shorter side, no clothes fit me perfectly. So, every time I buy new clothes, I have to go to the tailor. I much rather learn to do this myself. It's kind of funny because my grandmother use to be a tailor at Nordstroms, and she was really good at it too. She would Halloween costumes and everything for my brother and I. If she were still alive, I would ask her to teach me how to do it. I'm actually a little interested in it myself. I guess it runs in the blood. Your videos help me a lot to get me started. Thanks.
So glad the videos are helpful! It really is a helpful skill to have--even before sewing my wardrobe I was altering almost all of my clothing. Best of luck, and thanks for watching! :)
I love sitting down in the morning on a weekend here in Australia and seeing that you uploaded a new video, your videos are fantastic. Liked the Lilly silk garments 💕 and good luck with your procedure 💕
Thank you so much for sharing information about your mistakes! Not only do I learn from those shares, but I also feel better about my own mistakes. I am totally LOVING your channel. ❤️❤️❤️
I'm with Leanne! I love seeing that you've uploaded new videos! I'm taking a moment to comment on your thoughts about the hand of wools. Especially the 'coat weight" ones. I've been sewing for a long time now, and have found it interesting that wool yardages are a lot thinner now than they were in years (decades) past. I have a few in the stash from years ago, I don't think that the weight of those compared to wools now would be very similar. And they're coatings. Just wanted to add one more thought. There is another gal (really she and her husband) on UA-cam that I so thoroughly enjoy. Her name is Andrea. She's the "DIY WIFE'. Her husband, Dean, chronicles her marvelous work on their channel. Like you, she has such a wonderful "CAN DO" spirit that I find is fun, inspiring and refreshing. I'm thinking of you doing all that block fusing (a monstrous task!!!) with simple, unassuming tools...and getting the job done. Or the episode where you reupholstered the sofa retrieved from the sidewalk. So, so cool. Especially when you didn't realize that some of the back pieces wouldn't fit until after you'd put them together. Honestly, I sat and watched you and was thinking...."uh oh....they're not going to fit when she turns the fabric right-side out". But you weren't dismayed!!!! Or, maybe you were for a bit, but that didn't stop you!!!! So cool. Same with Andrea. She makes do with the tools she has on hand...(she's into woodworking, furniture making, renos and such) makes mistakes, sighs a big sigh and turns lemons into lemonade. I just love watching young people doing marvelous things! You and she are a delight to behold!
Thank you! And that is so interesting about the weight of wools over the years! That vintage camel coat I have is definitely a much heavier weight wool (It is also fully interfaced, but the interfacing seems pretty thin and flexible at this point). Occasionally, I'll come across a thicker wool, and some are already fused with interfacing. But in general, they really do feel so light and drapey! The one i bought for the blazer is pretty light--I even considered making pants with it...but it is listed as a coating which surprised me.
You know what? That BEAUTIFUL green blouse is my FAVORITE style of all time. They are so so nice to wear with absolutely anything. And that color match blew my mind!! Absolutely 💯 percent perfect 🥰 I really enjoy your videos. I hope all goes well and you come back soon!!
I’m excited to see these big projects come together! I’ve recently gotten really into Bernadette Banner’s channel, I love her videos and style. Will definitely check out the one on pad-stitching!
Another great video, I also love sitting down in the morning on the weekend in Australia with a cuppa and catching up with your latest video. Love to know how the procedure goes. I have been thinking of having something like that done. May have to check it out, good luck. 🇦🇺🇦🇺
Thanks, Denise! I will have to do an update on the procedure--I've been wanting to have it done for a while. Too much time in the sun without sunscreen in my teens and twenties!
Back in the 90s (when dinosaurs roamed the earth 😂) Sandra Bettzina recommended to interface your fabric and THEN cut it out as one piece. Thanks, PBS. Saves time cutting out two pattern pieces, at least.
Yes, I have considered it actually! I haven't figured out yet exactly how I would structure it or what I could offer over there for subscribers, but it's on my mind for sure!
Am I right in saying that you overlocked your edges of your lining before you washed it. Would that prevent fraying. Only just found your videos. Really enjoy watching them. X
I don't have a pattern for them, unfortunately! I do want to do a video on making some, though...maybe this spring! I found more of that fabric in my stash when I organized my sewing room :)
Casey, please help me. You have been wearing a fantastic square neck top. Isn't that your pattern? I thought it was knit but I only see a woven pattern in your list. Did I miss something very important? I have been putting together my list so my brain is overflowing with ideas.
Great outfits from LilySilk! I heard something negative about them .. low quality or something. Maybe they improved their offerings or sent you their best items?
I like in-progress videos. I think it helps people to know the many steps of preparation.
I like making these, too. Some projects take me a long time to make and I don't want to rush the process! :)
I just love your style. You by far have my favorite sewing ideas. I always look forward to whatever you put out, thanks!!!
Thank you so much for letting me know that! I'm so glad!
Think my fave is the all green outfit with orange coat. Very Kate Middleton! 🥰
Haha yes! I love that combo the most!
Even if I had to pay online to learn from scratch. but the tutorial videos am seeing are two advanced for me to try.

You have great plans! I forgot to Congratulate you on your vest pattern release was featured on The Foldline video! Way to go!
Thank you!! :)

Her videos are great and she has a series with a tailor that look really helpful! Getting excited about some slow tailoring techniques!
That olive green outfit with the orange coat is incredible!!! Love!!!
Thanks! I love how that one turned out!
I love all your videos! I want to sew a few blouses and dress shirts for work - could you do another tutorial for something like that?
Thank you! Maybe I can do something like that this spring!
To build on this, what about details to add to a classic shirt pattern, like pintucks or adjusting the collar?
Thank you again for a very useful video! I really like that you share the preparations for your projects. I learn so much from you!
I'm so glad! Thank you so much!

Thanks, Denise! I will have to do an update on the procedure--I've been wanting to have it done for a while. Too much time in the sun without sunscreen in my teens and twenties!
@@PatternScout yes sunscreen was not even heard of back in my day. It’s great now that there is so much info on sun damage now. 🇦🇺
Have you heard the hack of sewing fabric into a mobius strip so it doesn5 get all tangled in the wash? I love that hack!
I haven't tried that, sounds like a great hack!
Back in the 90s (when dinosaurs roamed the earth 😂) Sandra Bettzina recommended to interface your fabric and THEN cut it out as one piece. Thanks, PBS. Saves time cutting out two pattern pieces, at least.
Definitely!! It is so much easier than cutting twice and interfacing everything individually!
Casey, have you ever considered a patreon for teaching ??? I sure wish you would
Yes, I have considered it actually! I haven't figured out yet exactly how I would structure it or what I could offer over there for subscribers, but it's on my mind for sure!
@@PatternScout Wonderful. So happy you are at least considering it.
Would really love to learn to sew 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲 but I can’t learn from videos 😢😢
I think it's german name and should be spelled ooko-tex. ( The company is based in Switzerland). Greetings from Germany!
Am I right in saying that you overlocked your edges of your lining before you washed it. Would that prevent fraying. Only just found your videos. Really enjoy watching them. X
Yes that is correct :) Thanks!!
Hi Casey… I liked the knit pant that you wore in this video. Do you have a pattern for them?
I don't have a pattern for them, unfortunately! I do want to do a video on making some, though...maybe this spring! I found more of that fabric in my stash when I organized my sewing room :)
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Why did you choose to interface all of the wool?
Casey, please help me. You have been wearing a fantastic square neck top. Isn't that your pattern? I thought it was knit but I only see a woven pattern in your list. Did I miss something very important? I have been putting together my list so my brain is overflowing with ideas.
That square neck tee is a pattern I haven't released yet--but hope to this month! Stay tuned :)
@@PatternScout oh my goodness. How exciting 😀. And I will gladly purchase it and make 3-4 immediately.
Don't think you added the pad stitching youtube links x
Ah, thank you! Just added! :)
MUSIC ?
Great outfits from LilySilk! I heard something negative about them .. low quality or something. Maybe they improved their offerings or sent you their best items?
Thanks! Everything I received from them was really nice and beautifully packaged :)
what weight wool did you use for this peacoat?
13 oz
I order swatches from mood fabrics. How do you prep wool fabric?
I throw mine in the dryer with a damp towel or damp laundry to steam it :)
@@PatternScout thank you so much!
In English you should just say "Ecotex", Oekotex is German in origin, stands for "ecological textiles".
