Thanks for another lovely, friendly and informative vlog Carole. Always learn something from you. Congratulations on reaching 6k, very well deserved. 🎉
Your top looks lovely although I can understand your qualms about the texture. A fabulous table runner. Lucky you finding a new fabric shop. I’m betting you’ll visit it again on one of your weekends. Have a great sewing week, Pat
Hi Carole❤ If I could subscribe again I would!! That top is pretty but sounds like it had to have been mislabeled- the idea of you drying your car with your shirt😂😂! What a beautiful table runner, and I agree on small projects- those are fun to quilt! So many awesome gift ideas! And you found a fabric store? 🎉The pictures are sooooo pretty and that poem is cute❤ Have a great sewing week!!Xx❤❤
The top is pretty. I love the pattern. I cannot handle the feeling of double brushed poly (any polyester actually) against my skin. I enjoy tagging along on your walks.
Beautiful photos Carole. Life is too short to wear a shirt that feels icky. Repurpose it into little makeup bags or a tote. You'll still enjoy the print but you won't have to wear it! Finding gems like the fabric shop is so exciting, I look forward to a post and tour of it on one of your vlogs. 😉
Congrats, looks like you made 6k subscribers. Your videos are informative, genuine, and fun so no surprise to me. The table runner is gorgeous and will be a super addition to your festivities. I have never thought of DBP as a chamois but now I can't get it out of my head 😅. I have made a couple of waterproof jackets over the past couple of years and I ❤ adding reflective fabric into the seams. Through the winter it is dark and it adds a bit of safety. It's also good for cycling shirts same reason. Check your 'fleece back ponti' and see if it's water repellent. It might be softshell fabric which makes terrific hiking/dog walking jackets or vests similar to Columbia brand.
That is a fabulous table runner, that will look very pretty with all the Christmas things! ❤ I agree with one of my fellow commenters, that doesn't look like double brushed poly.... any brushed fabric wouldn't have a shine to it. You're very right, it does look lovely on your dress form, you can always just keep it there. 😘 A chamois would need to be absorbent 😆 Have a great weekend!
I love the table runner and your top though I get what you mean about the fabric. It does look great though. Re your diary may I suggest investigating you phone calendar. Mine is a google one but I use it all the time. You can set multiple reminders, search for things you've done in the past, put in recurring appointments, even invite people to attend events or appointments with you. So good. Thanks again for the chat.🤗
« I can use it as a chamois! » 🤣 I’m so sorry the top’s fabric is unpleasant because the top itself really does look great! You did a fabulous job with the table runner. It’s going to look really good on your holiday table. Love the gift ideas! Sorry you missed the sewcial last week, but how cool to have found one near you. Can’t wait to see next week’s video!! Hope you have a fabulous weekend! Xx 💞
We call it shammy too! I think there's even one of those "seen on tv" brands called a shammy. But I see what you mean about it feeling plastic-ish. Cute top though! Love the one you're wearing. As you were talking about the table runner, I thought about how much I like it because you like it. What a difference it would make in my life if I started basing whether or not I like something handmade based on the excitement of whomever made it. We're like that with children, aren't we? Why should it stop there? I do love that skirt pattern for your mum. I need to pick that up at the next sale. And your little jewelry pouch - I've seen that before when you've made them and I don't know why I haven't. I could use that when I travel! I'm always trying to prevent necklaces from tangling, so that might be a good solution. I'll put that in my brain for later. Your little towel is such a great idea. I have some that hang on my oven door made from a potholder and a dishcloth, but honestly I really like yours because there's more towel to catch to wipe my hands on, plus I can use old towels to make it! The only trick (easily solved I'm sure) would be to get the loop to hang on the bar. But if I made it big enough, I probably could just loop the towel through it. Problem solved! A surprise fabric store. Could you just send some of the people who have those over here? I'd love to find a hidden one. Maybe Trish and I should just come visit yours. Loved the poem 😁❤😘
Lovely table topper Carole! I know what you mean about your top but it looks great and it will keep you cosy 😉super little gifts, very creative especially the towels. Have a great weekend.
Loved the table runner! Great job and the fabric is beautiful. I do think you are in great danger of becoming a quilt addict (sneaks up on you...just saying). Before that, I see a larger capacity embroidery machine in your future....you have really become an expert. The fabric store near your holiday home and sewing social near your home were joyful finds....I can totally relate. Thanks as always for the photos at the end of your videos....they bring peace and serenity to the soul.
Oh how thrilling to just stumble upon that lovely shop. Sorry about the "Shammy" top but it is pretty. I hate those printed fabrics that stretch out white on you. I have a few pieces of those myself.
The double brushed poly looks like scuba I received some in a fabric bundle and I just can’t imagine ever wearing it, it was thin scuba and drapey but no, not for me! I do wonder if they are related fabrics. Lovely table runner, I think I have caught the quilting bug 😂 I haven’t made a garment for a couple of weeks! I’ve made the makeup bags but let them open flat hoping my daughters would use them! Lovely update, thanks for sharing 😊
Your mum’s skirt is very cute. Definitely worth taking the waistband off and altering. That reflective fabric will be great for the kids’ jackets. Those wallets could also be used for business cards for plumber, electrician, etc. I have never seen a round towel like you showed. How would you use it?
Hi Carole! Oh, how I wish I could re-subscribe to help push you over the 6K mark. No doubt you'll reach your goal by the end of the day (in the US). Really like the jumper you made and are wearing in your video. Just stumbled upon the video where you show the fabric and your plan to make it. I'd not seen that video and realized that you posted it during my drive from California to Florida. Was so overwhelmed with getting moved in and such that I forgot to see what I missed! Had to be careful with my phone battery level that week because I was using it to navigate during the drive and didn't have a car charger for it. Was a nice surprise that I got to watch an extra So Carole today. What a great find of the fabric shop near your holiday home!!! Yes, next time you'll need the car! While I understand your disappointment of missing the one sewing social (with Adam), so very, very happy you found a monthly one so close to home! YAY!!! xx Dori BTW: How is your elbow doing? Are you fully recovered? Was the surgery successful?
Once again you have posted a much needed sewing blog, especially your review of the poly fabric. One favor please: you referred to the neck edging as a skill you learned from Rachel on The French Seams. I had been off line for quite awhile and must have missed that episode, so if you remember which one it was included in could you please share that? Neck finishing on stretch tees presents a challenge to me and I could benefit from any help I could get.
Carole, was it starsky and hutch were one of them slid across the car bonnet in the opening credits? I'm imagining you doing that next time your car needs a clean, whilst wearing your new top, lol 😅😅 Love the table runner and the gift ideas. I hope you enjoy your social Sunday. Have a great week.

Always enjoy your posts. Thank you for taking us along on your sewing and life adventures. ❤
Love to see your walks and the beautiful scenery.
Also enjoy a vlog that mainly uses non indie patterns. Think we forget too much the big 4. Thank you
That poem is brilliant!
