I especially like the top that you’re wearing in your vlog - very flattering.
Looking forward to the ‘Best of the rest patterns’ from you. That’s a great ‘series’. 😀

[@socarole66]

Thank so much, Chris did really well and he is still beaming from pride!! I have just finished editing the best of the rest video so will probably be out tomorrow. It was fun to film so I am glad you have enjoyed the series. Have a good week 🧵😊

[@socarole66]

At last I made an Emmie top that was nearly as good as yours! My Hubby really didn't like the other one. We did have a fabulous time together away and I can't believe the thing I enjoyed most was playing with the boys in the pool!! If you knew me well you would be astounded 😂. They are just so much fun as well you know. Thanks so much for watching xx💗

It is so neatly made!!! Also, I think I already commented on your lutterloh top, but Carole, I absolutely love it - fabric, colours, style and the make itself. A white tee is just a must in a wardrobe isn't it? The touches you added to the New Look 6217 top, make it look so neat and professional. Such lovely and thoughtful birthdat gifts - enjoy them Carole. Beautiful pics!!!!! I just melt when I see a palm tree 🌴. Enjoy your week Carole!!

[@socarole66]

All the best people are born in May!! That Lutterloh top keeps growing and growing on me and I think it has to be the most favourite thing I have made for a while, I should definitely make another.
My oldest Grandson so wanted to see a palm tree from our hotel room and he was so pleased when we had a whole array of them! I always think of a very old film when I see them. Not sure if you would know what I mean but it is 'Some Like it Hot'!! ( One of the best films ever)

Carole, congratulations on 5k subscribers I really enjoy your videos. Also, I really like the colors you used on the color blocked tee shirt, I think the purple and pink next to each other look great!

[@socarole66]

Thank you so much Elaine for watching and also liking my colour blocked tee! Have a great week 🧵😊

[@pjacksreads536]

Congratulations on reaching 5k. That’s awesome.

[@socarole66]

Thanks so much! I am just so pleased that people are still enjoying my channel and what I chat about. Thanks for watching 🧵😊

Another great video. Please don't stop 'rambling' about all sorts of things. It's very enjoyable. Congrats on the 2k milestone. Maree, Sydney. PS. Love the colour bkocked tee

[@socarole66]

Ok!! I will continue to ramble on about things 🤣. Thanks so much for your kind and sweet comments and I think you are my first viewer from Sydney! Have a great week and thanks so much for watching 🧵😊

Hi Carole! Your color-blocked "Emmie" tee is beautiful!!! Well done! Love the fabric color combo. You have another color-blocked tee in blue and a blue/coral/white floral which is one of my favorite of your tee makes. Please don't stop playing with color-blocking! LOVE the bookends that Chris bought for you. What a very thoughtful gift-giver he is! 🙂 I had noticed at the beginning of your video that you needed some bookends for your pattern binders. Glad that you now have some that are sew (pun intended) perfect for your sewing room. Glad you had a wonderful birthday and that your 5K subscriber mark was a part of that! xx🥰 Dori

[@socarole66]

Hi Dori, you are right about another colour blocked tee, I had forgotten about that one as I did it differently. Chris isn't a fan of colour blocking for some reason but he did like the pink one luckily. Oh dear, I can't believe someone noticed all my books and files on a slant in my room 😱, there are no secrets with a UA-cam channel!! Hope all is well with you and thanks again for sending on the Lutterloh video. Have a good Sunday 🧵😊xxx

[@SewAndTellwithDori]

@@socarole66 Hi Carole, you'll just have to put those very cool book ends bought for your birthday into use immediately. All the presents Chris bought you were well thought out. His a very good present buyer and obviously loves you very much. You're a lucky woman! Maybe he needs another button-down shirt (like his AC/DC one made with the NL pattern). He can pick out the fabric! Does the UK do Father's Day? So very happy you had such a wonderful birthday! You so deserve it!!!! 🎉🥳🎂🎁🎈 xx Dori

Fab scrapbusting T-shirt! Oooo so many beautiful gifts 🤩🎁 Kelly x

[@socarole66]

Thank you! My Hubby approved for once, he hates colour blocked garments and no idea why 🤣. Thanks for watching and enjoy your week xx🧵😊

[@SistasofStitchcraft]

@@socarole66 ooo I quite like a colour blocked garment. Glad your hubby liked it too. Most welcome, it's always a pleasure xxx

[@ZeldaSews]

Wow, i've never heard of knit blocker pins!

[@socarole66]

Nor had I until I met someone who ran a Yarn shop! xx

[@letitiathomson914]

Hi Carole, what a thoughtful husband you have, his sewing gifts to you are wonderful (you’ve trained him well) 🤪 I think your yellow flower might be a marigold or calendula, could be wrong of course. Have a great week sewing 🧵🪡🇦🇺

[@socarole66]

Thanks so much, Chris is going to love reading your comment! I don't think he had help either. That could well be a marigold actually as my Grandson planted some a couple of years ago in that pot and they keep popping up! I had forgotten, thank you. Enjoy your weekend 🧵😊

[@dianapower-qo8gy]

Happy belated birthday , lovely presents from home and overseas, enjoy them all 😅. I started watching you before you reached 2,000 wow what a achievement well done you. Please don't worry about being to long, you are lovely to listen to and watch and The photos at the end are so beautiful clear and professional, you and Chris certainly love the outdoors, enjoy all your time together hopefully you are keeping a diary of yr adventures with your photos for the future generation. Take care and stop apologizing for being to long, once again regards Diana from NZ 🎉❤🎉❤🎉😊

[@socarole66]

Thanks Diana for your channel support for so long! I always worry if I talk too much but I suppose people can always come back to my videos when they have more time, that is what I do when I watch long vlogs! I really do just love being outside and luckily Chris is happy to be dragged along. I do once a year actually print photo books and I will especially for that holiday as it was so memorable, I just love spending time with those boys. Hope you are well and NZ is on our list for when Chris retires!! Have a good weekend 🧵😊

[@AndraMakes]

I love your makes, Carole, and that color-blocking is FAB! 🤩 Chris and Agata did a wonderful job with your gifts, and I know the card from Mary was super-sweet! You are loved! Thank you for the kind words about me! Your grandsons are precious! 😘💗

[@socarole66]

Thank you so much my friend! I am glad you approve of the colour blocking as you are the master of it.
Those boys were just wonderful on holiday and I was so sad to leave Mallorca as I enjoyed spending extended time with them, lots of fun memories! Hope you are having a super weekend 💗😘

[@annerobinson647]

Belated happy birthday from Australia Carole. I made the "magic dress" and very pleased thanks for making me aware of it
