Tis the season for lounging and staying warm! : ) Quick clarification that I realized when editing this video: McCall's 8351 offers a view without the stripe down the side but you may need to add an extra inch or two to it to achieve a baggier, looser fit! I overlooked that but wanted to share in case you want a looser fit. If you have worked with any of these, I'd love to hear your thoughts and if you have any other cute loungewear set patterns, please share! I'm always on the lookout for more. Happy sewing and creating!😄🪡🧵
New subscriber here. Rochelle of Rochelle’s Handmade Designs mentioned your channel and I agree. Looking forward to seeing what you’re up to in 2025. Happy holidays!
The pieces you make look waaay better than the images on the pattern envelopes! I've passed right over these patterns, but you've got me thinking of the possibilities now! Have fun with your family!
Love wearing and sewing knits. I have many of the patterns you used. I like how you’re getting your money’s worth from each pattern - sewing multiple views. When I got back into sewing almost ten years ago, I was afraid of sewing knits. The problem was that’s pretty much all I like to wear! So, I dove in and found knits are not hard to sew at all. You made some really nice pieces and sets…. Inspiring 😊
I am in the same boat as you--for the longest time, knits intimidated me but like you said, I am now in love!!! I can completely see how they've become a main fabric type you like to wear : ) Thanks for sharing and being here! Happy sewing to you!
Hi Rachel! You've inspired me to make some loungewear! I especially loved the monogram that you added to the sweatshirt! We have a friend who does home clean outs. From time to time, he will find treasures that people are throwing away, and he gives them to me. Last month, he gifted me with 3 contractor bags FULL of gorgeous fabrics. So much fabric that I'll never be able to use it in my lifetime. A seamstresses dream! You are doing a great job!
Yay!! And what a dream!!! I bet you have some unique and gorgeous fabrics to sew up! There is nothing like finding or receiving one of a kind fabrics to work with : ) How fun!!! Happy cozy sewing to you and thank you for your kind words!
Oh I love every one of these!!! I made the Simplicity lounge set and the McCall's cardigan with the pockets. I'll have to pick up some of these others. Great video Rachel Ann!
Hi Grace! I am so happy that you enjoyed these! I remember seeing your simplicity lounge set and it was super cute! Merry merry Christmas to you, I always appreciate you being here!🎄🧵🪡✨
Rachel Ann, I have just found you. I am just starting back into sewing after 35 years. I’ve been knitting and crocheting and I want to get back into sewing and I want to do garments now I’ve been a quilter I wanna do garments and I’d like to start with the loungewear and I’m gonna do the 8070 thank you for trying all the clothes on so I can actually see what they look like that really does make a difference and I thank you for that. I really really appreciate you and a merry Christmas to you and and. Have fun with mom. My mom has passed away now and taking every moment you can with her
Welcome, so happy that you are here! I absolutely love that you’re getting back into sewing and I bet knitting and crocheting has been such a fun experience with so much capability to be creative. Thank you for your kind words about the video, glad that you enjoyed it! And thank you for sharing about your mom. Definitely trying to soak up all the time right now myself. Enjoy sewing up 8070! Happy happy holidays and merry Christmas to you! 🎄✨🧵🪡
Love all these looks! I think your fabric choices really reveal how fabric choices can completely change the look that you see on the pattern package. Thank you for such a great video!
Thank you! I could not agree more with you. It is amazing how fabric choices can transform a pattern! Appreciate you being here and happy holidays! 🧵🪡😊
Sewing pants has been one of the biggest struggles of my sewing experience, so I totally get what you're saying! : ) Thanks for being here, happy cozy sewing and Merry Christmas to you!
Thank you sew much! : ) It has been nice to get the best of both worlds--warmth and the chill at night! Have a happy happy holidays here in CA and I appreciate you being here!
Hi Rachel Ann! This was a great video! I helped my granddaughter make the first pattern you showed. She made the hoodie and personalized it with a Cricut design. It was a great pattern for her and it turned out great. I love all your loungewear outfits. They look so comfy. Btw… your hair is so pretty! Have a wonderful holiday and a great time with your mom.
Hi Lori! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video : ) Love that your granddaughter and you got to sew the hoodie--and I bet her design was such a cute added touch! Thank you for your kind words and happy happy holidays to you!
Rachel Ann, I believe you are ready for winter in all the cozy loungewear you made. They look so good. Rachel, keep checking your Hobby Lobby; they should be marking them down soon. The patterns have not been selling at my store; everyone is waiting for the next markdown.
Hi Mary! I am so glad you shared this information with me--I definitely have been wanting to go check out my local Hobby Lobby to see their pattern selection. Thank you for your kind words and for being here! Happy sewing : )
Cheers to Cozy!🎄✨and you are spot on, I am definitely missing that super cold weather from when I was in Virginia!😍 hope you’re enjoying the season and I always appreciate you being here!🪡🧵✨
Hello! Your casual outfits are so cute! You’ve done a great job sewing plus modeling each item! Happy Holidays to you and enjoy having fun with your Mother! Happy sewing!!! Nancy, from Northern IN
What a great video video. Thank you for posting. I do have a question. I would love to get into sewing clothes right now. I’m a quilter. I don’t have a surgery or a cover stitch. Does that matter? Do you use either of those?
I’m so happy you enjoyed it! I do not have a serger and it has been absolutely fine without one. It’s definitely on my list to get at some point but for now, I either finish my seam edges with a zigzag stitch or I mostly do French seams. There are great tutorials out there on how to do a French seam! Happy sewing and enjoy it!😊🧵🪡
I’m amazed at how many projects you complete. I just bought mccalls 8070 this past week and am making the hooded one for a friend. Does it run large? I’m using fleece to make it and it doesn’t have much stretch. I love that pj set in white and green you made. M8392 robe on the pkg looks like it was made with a curtain so I passed on buying the pattern. Now after seeing your make, I wish I had purchased it
Thank you! I tend to get into sewing flurries where I crank out pieces and then have to take a break! : ) I sewed up the size small for McCall's 8070 and in my opinion, it's true to size. I'm on the shorter side and if I sew it again, may take some length off of it...Because there is some excess fabric at the bottom. I hear ya on 8392--the fringe was a deterrent for me but I do think it would be super cute without! Happy sewing!
I made Mccalls 8070 last week and absolutely love it! IMO, it does run large on me so I had to do some adjustments but definitely want to make another one soon. Thank you for posting this very timely video as I ordered some fabric on black Friday and one piece is going to be a lounge set! Wishing you a very Merry Christmas!
