That thunder clap and your reaction = priceless!! Love a good old Michigan summer storm!
Have a wonderful time in the beautiful northwest! Mustard has always been my favorite color.
Loved hearing the thunder! I’m a MidWest
girl born and raised….moved out West in 2011….very little thunder heard out here! 😊
I loved the storm! And carry on with your Half and Halfs!!! I love them, too 😊
Have fun at Flock Fiber! Wish I could go! I asked the boss about helping her out in the booth, but I have to stay home and work in the shop (I work at my lys, Knotty Lamb). But if you have the chance, go visit the Lamb Good booth! That's our house yarn and the owner of our shop is the dyer and she's amazing. 😁 Loved your storm!! 😁 And that Weekender in the big birdie will be amazing!
From a nearly lifelong resident of WA (eastern part), enjoy your trip! I went to Olympic National Park last year for the first time, and it’s beautiful.
I loved the rain and thunder!
I hope you enjoy Flock, and the Seattle area. I will be there on Sunday and am looking forward to it.
Your tee turned out beautifully! It looks so cute on you!
Well, and “slug” is very appropriate for plane knitting to Seattle. We are full of slugs. Except for this year because we haven’t had any rain (except for the last two days) this summer…but there are still slugs in my garden. Lol.
Hopefully will run into you at Flock! I am with you on the awkward thing - I will just say a quick hello. ❤
“Doug told me I have to leave it in” had me CRACKING UP 🤣
I showed him the footage and we could not stop laughing at my reaction haha
Me too!! So funny 😁
I’m on the exact same sewing journey! I want to love it but its so different than knitting. I just finished the metamorphic dress and I’m so glad its done!
Also I started the 1/2+1/2 triangles wrap because of you and I’m so loving it ❤
I have to admit I really enjoyed the storm❤❤❤
oh that was the best thunderstorm! I love them too, so good tucked up inside listening to them... I feel you with the sewing.. I've still got a dress cut out 5 months down the track, just need to brave the sewing machine again😂 Have fun in Seattle, always amazes me how people haven't seen the sea before but living in New Zealand it's rather impossible not to being a couple of rocks in the sea! Make sure you dip your toes in!
Sewing patterns are much like knitting patterns….there is ease built in and you need to account for that when cutting it out. Measure the pattern at the hip to determine how much ease there is in the pattern, if it doesn’t state it on the pattern. Kudos to you for the courage to just jump in! Be kind to yourself…..everything is a learning process! Jaclyn is SO ambitious in her sewing….fitting. I lived in the Seattle area, about a hundred years ago 😂, and it’s such a beautiful city. Enjoy every moment of your trip! 😊
My mother and grandmother sewed beautifully, and I regret not being able to catch on to sewing. All other types of needlework came easily to me, crewel work, cross stitch, crochet, knitting. Sewing drove me up the wall. After struggling with one apron years ago, I closed the Singer and it's still in the closet.
Have a wonderful trip to Seattle. And thanks again for leading me to a red and lavender yarn combination. My order of Purl Soho Quartz in Cardinal Red and Lavender Moon arrived recently, and I love it for the mini half-wrap I've planned.
Great video! And the storm stuff was kinda fun. It just happened that while watching this a thunderstorm with lightning started rolling through my area! Sometimes couldn't tell if the thunder was yours or mine...
I think when kids are young, the mojo ebs and flows, there's just days we have to check in to parenting full speed and our personal rest falls to the side. Lots of hugs and prayers for energy. Love your skirt. Very big, but it looks great! I want to sew but I'm not there yet, haha! All the best, Kimberly
First off, I just love all of your content. Thank you for being here. :) Second, I wanted to suggest that you consider washing your skirt fabric before you cut into it. I think you said it was a cotton/linen blend? I have just had experiences with both types of fabric in which my finished garment shrank after the first wash. I use my serger around the edges first and then just toss the whole thing into the wash to make sure and preshrink it if it's going to in order to hopefully avoid some sadness.
Bless your heart! That lightning was SO close. I am so jealous of all the rain Michigan is getting, summer storms soothe my soul. I love the thoughts you shared around the tank top, and now I am having visions of Sweater Sets!!! Thank you for sharing the idea ❤
just found your videos a few months ago and didn't realize you were in Detroit. Visiting Detroit for first time in September and I'm very excited. i live in NYC and love visiting other US cities. Hope you have a wonderful time out west.
Oh I hope you love Detroit!
Fellow Michigander here….that storm was BAD! But yes your reaction was very funny!
Yeah we didn't even get the worst of it, and it came out of no where!
The Lightening Episode!!!
😂😂😂
(Weekender KAL is just one mod, FYI)
Yours looks great!
Have the BEST time in the PNW. Wish I was going to be there to give you a hug!
❤️
So much lightning haha. Ah thank you for the clarification! I'm loving the weekender in big birdie! So excited to check our your recommendations on Bainbridge Island!
If you have the time while you are in Seattle, take time To go to the Chihuly glass museum. It’s right at the space needle. Pretty amazing! Regardless,have fun!
oooo thank you for the tip!
Brave, sewing with slippery fabric. Your work looks beautiful.
The colors of the mock top (both finished & to be) are gorgeous! I love a chartreuse/ scummy yellow green too.
Have loads of fun on your trip with your mom.
I regret the slippery fabric for skirt number one. haha
I love summer storms too! 🥰 Thanks for all you share - beautiful knits and stitches. You are right on track with that skirt! Enjoy your dream trip with your mom! My daughter and I are going to be planning a trip together later this year too
Great projects! Your trip sounds exciting, too. If you are still fairly new to sewing, especially apparel, I would steer clear of slippery fabrics as that can add in additional frustration working with it while also trying to work out sewing a pattern. It also will not handle or end up the same as your final/intended fabric (rayon vs linen). Cotton muslin fabric is inexpensive (you can even get the whole bolt for 50% off at JoAnn when they have the coupon) to try out a pattern and make all adjustments on before you use your favorite fabric. The leftover muslin is great for so many other things, including linings to project bags, etc. Enjoy your summer thunderstorms and travel! Take time to do what you enjoy between all those other parenting/adulting times and take care of you.
22:06 you want your finished skirt to be bigger in the circumference, then your waist. And then you measure your elastic to your waist measurement with maybe a half an inch. It’ll cinch up and look perfect! I think you did fine! I hope you show a follow up!
I can't wait to see your outfit come together! I also have a love-hate relationship with sewing. I love making quilt blocks but have to push thru to sew them together, along with clothing. I've been seeing more knitters sew lately and it did inspire me to pull out my gypsum skirt... I've had all the material cut out for over two years 😅
Loved hearing all the thunder! Agree this is the coldest summer I can remember in Michigan. I’m a terrible sewist, but really want a gypsum skirt. Maybe I will get brave like you and try. (I do have an unused sewing machine).
I’m thrilled that you will get to finally see the ocean!!!
Me too!! I'm very lucky to be surrounded by the Great Lakes but i'm excited for salt water air!
Love all of your projects! I've found all of Sew Liberated's patterns are incredibly large in the larger size ranges so I always look at the finished measurements to help me determine my size in their patterns. But I do love everything that they do, and you can't beat their instructions for how step-by-step and clear they are.
I love all of your projects! Everything looks so great. If it makes you feel better I’ve been sewing for years and years and I hate sewing still 😂 It’s absolutely a product not a process thing for me
It is TERRIBLE. haha
6 triangle wraps! That’s impressive. If you sewed them all together you’d have a sizeable blanket!
Not me thinking it was thundering outside my apartment whenever it thundered for you heheh. Lovely to see your face here !!
The storm was WILD!
Bahahahh this thunderstorm is giving me LIFE
Okay also succession is sooooooo good. They are all horrible but by the end I secretly loved Roman and think he is the only one with any redeeming qualities.
Beautiful knitting projects 🧡
Thank you!
If the waistband has elastic you can just shorten the elastic. You should be fine. The color of the fabric is beautiful.
Autism Mum here too. It’s hard.
The thunder and lightning! I can’t believe you’ve made 6 half and half wraps! I’m struggling to finish my first one. I am allllmost done.
It was such a wild storm that came out of no where! My half + half wrap is my favorite in between project, or when my head has no space for anything else.
Wow that lighting! Your tank turned out great. Inspiring me to cast one on. I’m in the same boat as you when it comes to sewing. I just want the finished piece but don’t enjoy the process!
What bases will be in your update? I’m still hoping to recreate your Throwover in worsted 😊
Thank you! All of the yarn for the throw over will be in the update!
❤❤❤
Sewing is a process- but I think you are being too harsh on yourself!! and the bonus of elastic waist patterns is that you absoultely can just shorten the elastic for a snugger fit. I really like these patterns because of this, they aren't fitted so dont need to worry about sizing too much. Your skirt will be fine if you shorten the elastic :) another thing to bear in mind though is that when you sew over the elastic, this will change the fit depending on how good the elastic is, it might make it a bit looser, so worth bearing in mind. (If you do end up having to unpick it, stretch the waist over something to pull it taught so you can see the stitches easier).
Hi Stacy, I plan to check out your shop tomorrow for new items. How do you source your wool?
The shop update has been pushed to Wednesday because we were without power for 2.5 days. But I source my wool from a mill in Virginia. Here is their FAQ about how they source their wool! www.wool2dye4.com/Frequently-Asked-Questions-about-Our-Yarns.html
@@stacyelstone thank you for the info. We lost power a couple of weeks ago for 4 days, so I totally know how difficult that can be... especially in this heat!
You are so freakin cute! ❤😂
