Carole, Thank you for sharing your holiday pictures, They are so fun. You make your sewing look so effortless, too. Seeing your Oboe made me remember when my grandson was in the orchestra and played the clarinet and running to the music store to get new reeds or having the pads replaced on the keys or whatever. He was very particular about his clarinet. Thank you for bringing back the memories for me. 🙏❤🙏
Thanks Maureen, I am glad you liked the photos. My kids aren't interested in seeing them so it is nice to share! Oh reeds for instruments, don't get me started ha ha. There is always something going on with reeds and they are so fragile, honestly the flute is so much easier, you just pick it up and blow 😂. I am going to enjoy going back to the flute but I must practice before Monday and stop sewing 😊 Enjoy your weekend whatever you are doing x
What beautiful travel photos! Thanks for sharing. I did my trip to Disney’s Animal Kingdom. It was a perfect day to go. A small attendance and a cool breeze. We walked over 5 miles and I was exhausted. The park was amazing and the guests were all so polite. I’m so disappointed that I will miss you at the Expo. It is so much fun to attend. I’ll be going to the one in Ohio. Safe travels!
Hi Susan. I'm so pleased you had a successful trip to Animal Kingdom. We always say Disney is a 'walking holiday'! Don't you just walk miles and miles and I also wonder how little children seem still to be skipping and running at the end of the day?! You were so lucky it was quiet, did you manage to do many rides and attractions? When we go to Florida in March we may do a day visit to one of the parks but in the UK all you can get is 7 or 14 day tickets in advance (the same price!). We only want the one day so we are leaving it to fate that we can buy a one day ticket when we are there. Such a shame I won't be meeting you at the Expo. It was only by pure chance that our holiday coincided with it. Thanks for your support on my channel and have a great week 😊
Oh thanks Pamela, it is always nice to be home 😊. I am so excited for the Florida meet up, another chance to see those lovely ladies and a few others this time 👏. Hope you have a super sewing filled weekend and thanks again 🧵
Hi Andra, I can't believe that cardi has been in my wardrobe for so long and it only took 30 mins to complete 😂. I have worn it a few times now and really quite like it! Those wavy lines caused me more wavy lines on my forehead I'm sure 😟but I was pleased I had a go. Looking forward to the secret project too 😉Have a great week xxx
I enjoyed your “trouble shooting” and modifications and everything turned out lovely. Congrats on your 2k subscribers and your very generous giveaways, of which I prefer group 1. Thanks for sharing your absolutely beautiful shots of Austria. We are hoping to have a white Christmas there or Switzerland this year, very different from our Aussie Christmas.
Hi Jane, a Christmas in the snow I imagine would be amazing for you. We did have one Christmas in Austria years ago and it was really different. Their main day is Christmas Eve and then Christmas Day (for us) seemed just back to normal for them! It was truly magical though so I hope you enjoy it. Thanks for all your kind comments and I will put you down for Group 1. 😊
Oh my word thank you so much 😊. I am glad you enjoyed the pictures as it was just such a beautiful place. I have put you down for Group 2. Have a lovely week 😊
Honestly, I cannot believe how this channel has grown mainly due to my lovely friends in Florida I think! Glad you liked the photos. Have a great week 😊
Thank you, isn't Austria just so beautiful? I can't believe that sweater had been in the cupboard for so long without being finished as I don't think it took more than 30 mins ha ha. Hope you also have a great week 🧵😊
Thanks Robyn, oh we did have such fun in Austria last week, it was all so pretty. I will put you down in the Group 2 draw. Thanks so much for your unwavering support with my channel 😊
So close to 2k.. Wonderful. Group 2 please..😊. I love the way you fixed up the black cardi..looks fabulous. I always enjoy your photos at the end of the videos but especially these of your trip…So beautiful..Like a fairy tale. You are so amazing, you deserve and I’m sure you will reach 3K by the end of the year.. 😊
I have made the 2k, oh my goodness I am so thrilled believe me! I am so glad you liked the Austria photos, not sure what I will have this week to compare to that. Thanks so much for your wonderful support, 3k I wonder?! I will put you down for Group 2 Thanks again 😊
Thank you Kay, I am really pleased with it now, so much so as I want to make another 😂 Having a channel and people to answer to has definitely made me finish and complete things I never used to! 😊
I'm glad you had such a great time in Austria. Thank you for posting those amazing photos and letting us live vicariously through you for a little minute or two vacation. :D I'm definitely looking forward to seeing how your experience with the men's shirt goes. I can see why the neck might be a little intensive, but I'm sure you'll make it look great! Have a wonderful rest of your week!
Hello there, thanks so much for watching and taking the time to chat with me. Austria was just so wonderful I had to share the photos as my kids aren't interested in seeing them 😂. The sweatshirt for my hubby is done and I am pleased with it. It wasn't particularly difficult...just fiddly! I will explain more on Friday. Hope he likes it. Enjoy your week and hope you get loads of sewing in 😊🧵
Beautiful vlog, Carole! Your pictures of Austria are amazing. 🥰 Your black cardigan remake looks wonderful. (I’m in to adding beads to drawstrings and ties.) A coverstitch machine is so handy; I’m really happy with mine. I love the way you color blocked the BTPD fabrics. 💗 I’m eager to see what colors I get. They’re all gorgeous colors! Have SO much fun on your trip to Florida! 😍😍😍 to you and yours.
Hi Lynn and thank you as ever for being so kind! When I got my Coverstitch I really didn't think I would get much use out of it but I was so wrong. I don't know why I held off for so long 😂 Do let me know what colours you get and what you do with yours, the challenge for me was the small contrasting piece but the plus side is I can make some joggers for the little one out of the remaining fabric 👏. Have a great weekend and hope you get lots of sewing in x🧵x
Hello, Carole, so lovely catching up with you today! My goodness, your photos of your holiday are so amazing, what beauty there is out there in the world! I’m so glad you had an amazing time! Your black cardigan looks wonderful, you did an amazing job with you, Sewing is such a superpower! Thank you for sharing with us today! Happy Sewing❤~Tiffany
Hi Tiffany! Thanks for watching and your lovely comments. You are so right, there are some beautiful places on this planet of ours 😊. I wore the black cardi today and thought to myself, why didn't I finish it before and should I make another?! Have a great weekend 💖
Hi there! Thanks so much for your comment and I am glad you (your Mum!) enjoyed the photos. I will put you down in the draw for Group 1. Thanks again 😊
Thanks Pat, what a lovely comment 😊. Oh I am a huge fan of the Big 4 as I grew up with them and I find their sizing and instructions consistent. I will put you down for Group 1, have a great weekend 🧵
Congratulations on the success of your channel. I thought your black cardigan turned out great! Better to have it and not need it rather than the reverse. I’d love the first collection of patterns with the smaller sizes. Thanks for sharing your makes.
Thank you so much Kenisha. Everyone has been so wonderful for supporting my little channel! You are so right on the black cardi, it was no use in the cupboard unfinished and it only took 30 mins to fix. I will put you down in the draw for Group 1, thanks again and have a good week 🧵😊
I really enjoyed your video today, what great fun, but the cold! My thin blooded self could not stand that kind of cold. I love your makes, especially the cardigan and top, the i don’t have that pattern, so…… I would love to have the patterns from group 2 as I sew for some elderly ladies periodically. I hope you reach 2000 soon and keep growing. You are such a treat to watch. Take care.
As I type this I made the 2K, I am so thrilled! Thanks so much for your lovely words. Being in the cold isn't too bad if you are thoroughly geared up for it but England felt warm when we got back 😂I have entered you into the group 2 draw and thanks again for your support all the way along. Enjoy your weekend 😊x
Thank you, that made me really happy when you said that about my videos 😊 I will enter you into the Group 1 draw. Hope you have a great weekend and thanks for watching 🧵
Hi there, thank you so much for your kind comment. I want to make them again right now! It is such a good pattern and as you say, great capsule pieces. 😊
I agree re Vivmom, I wish she would do more of her videos but I still refer back to her when I get stuck for ideas! I will put you down for Group 1. Thanks for watching 😊
Happy Friday Carole! You are so close to 2k - congrats. I just got out that same pattern and am making it as well. I love patterns that have the jacket, top and bottoms all in one! Your trip pictures are beautiful. We were in Salzburg this Fall just for the day, but I wish we could have stayed longer. I had to laugh when I heard a buzzer go off when you were showing your cardigan, I went to check if my coffee warmer had turned off 🤣🤣🤣. Have a lovely weekend.
Hi Kathleen! thanks so much for you lovely comments and encouragement 🤗. That pattern is such a good one isn’t’ it, Jen knows all the good ones! I have flown in and out of Salzburg many times bad sadly not visited it but I really must, I want to see where they filmed the Sound of Music. I had to rewatch the video as I didn’t realise a buzzer had gone off 🤣. That was my dishwasher saying to me ‘I’ve finished!! Come and empty me and stop chatting about sewing 😂” Thanks again so much for your support 😊
Congratulations on the 2K Subscribers. I thoroughly enjoy watching your videos. What a lucky girl you are to have such fun adventures such as Austria. It looks absolutely gorgeous. Please enter me to the group 1 pattern group.
Wonderful photos. Snowshoes down the slope looks like fun but hazardous. You are a very talented lady. I'm sure playing the flute/piccolo will be like riding a bicycle for you. Will come back in no time at all. Would love Group 1 of the patterns but I live in far away Australia.
Hi Corinne! Thanks so much for your lovely comments and yes, snowshoes down a slope was a little bit hazardous but fun😂. I can't believe it is Saturday already and I still haven't practiced my Flute...aaaah! I spend too much time in my sewing room. I will put you down for Group 1, don't worry about your distance. I did say whoever, wherever and I meant it 😊
Beautiful place you went to. I think running down the hill was very graceful . I would like group 2 in the patterns, isn’t it funny how patterns seem to multiply on their own💐
Thank you Sandra 😂. It might not have been graceful if I fell over! I so know what you mean about patterns multiplying, how on earth does that happen?!🤔. I will put you down for Group 2, thanks so much for watching.
Group 1 please 😀 Love all your makes, the black cardigan turned out really well and looked great on u. Love your other cardigan and top looks amazing on u ❤
I love the cardigan. It is very flattering with the flutter hem at your hips. Pockets would be great, but they will also add weight, so that's a toss up!
Flutter hem! That's brilliant and I thought it looked weird so I am even happier with that now 😁. You are right about pockets, especially in a knit but it is so funny I automatically went looking for them! Thanks again x
Congratulations on almost 2000 subscribers! I played the flute for many years:) Your photos of Austria are just gorgeous, I'm looking forward to going there in May🙂Group 2 patterns would be a treat:)
Yay! Another flute player. I have to say, I do not love the Oboe anywhere near as much as the Flute! May will be a beautiful month for Austria, the scenery will be spectacular. Hope you have a lovely time ⛰️I have put you in the Group 2 draw 😊
Way to go, Carol. Group 2, please and thank you for sharing. I've been trying to join the 8640 club, but my local Joann's can't keep it in the drawers for the sales. Lol.
Thanks Mary! I really wish you luck in the Group 2 draw, I would love another person to try the 8640! I didn't realise that it was hard to get hold of, that shows how powerful Jen is in the sewing world 😉. Have a great weekend 🧵
Thanks Anne, I wore the cardi today actually and I can't believe I hid it away without finishing it for so long. This channel has really made me finish things! Have a great weekend 😊
I just found your channel and subscribed. I love your makes. Your very talented. I’m looking forward to more of your videos. I love group 2 and thank you for the opportunity.
Hello and welcome! Thank you so much for finding me and I hope you enjoy my videos past and future. You are very kind to say I am talented, I really don't feel I am with so many other amazing sewists out there 😂 I will put you down for Group 2, good luck 😊
I think the black cardigan you finished up turned out really nice. A secret project coming up? Fun!! I enjoy looking at the beautiful sites of snow-covered trees, etc BUT, oh, I just couldn't handle being out in it any longer.
Hi Deb, I can't imagine you would want to go anywhere cold after living in Florida so, as you say, far better to look at the photos without suffering effects of numb toes and fingers ❄️. I wore the black cardi today and I have to say, I am pleased with it! Have a lovely weekend xx
I would love to be what we call "a snowbird" and live up North somewhere during the non-Winter months but travel to another home in the South for the Winter. I dream of the day...
It’s great to see your holiday pics … it was a beautiful place! You have been very busy since you got back 😮 I’d like to be considered for group 2 patterns 👏🏻
I am so glad you enjoyed the photos, my kids aren't interested in seeing them so it is nice to have somewhere to share them now! I missed my sewing room so much I was just so happy to be back in there again 😂🧵 I have put you down for Group 2. Have a good weekend 😊
As sewers we have the uncanny ability to make a ‘fail’ into a win! Your cardigan looks fabulous. So very nice of you to offer free patterns….one can never have enough! I would choose Group 1. Have a wonderful time in Florida!!!
We really do Linda, we just don't like a fail do we 😂. I have entered you into the Group 1 drawer, I am just so happy to thank my lovely viewers somehow for their loyalty when there are a million other sewing channels out there! Have a marvellous weekend 💗
I think your black cardigan looked lovely and you did a super job on the Beyond the Pink Door make. Love, love, love the Simplicity cardi and looking forward to seeing the trousers made. Hope you have a great weekend. Group 2 should I be picked. Oh and congrats on reaching 2k. X
Thank you Babs for all your comments on my makes this week! I need to get some fabric for those trousers but I am not sure quite what. I feel a bit of fabric shopping coming on😂. I will put you down for Group 2 and I hope you have a great weekend as well, with lots of sewing time 😊
Wonderful video! Piccolo & oboe are So different in size, for sure! I’ve played clarinet since I was 10, but getting a bit rusty since I don’t play it much anymore! I love the group 2 patterns 😉
Hi Lori, Lovely to hear that you played the Clarinet. That is the thing about this orchestra, it makes you play every week even if you never practice at home. If I wasn't for being in that no way would I still be playing anything! I played my Flute tonight and it was so much easier than the oboe 😂🎶I have put you down for Group 2 patterns. Have a good week 😊🧵
Carole, I think this is a third time I’ve watched this video, so if I repeat myself, apologies. I’ve been catching upon watching Grace on her channel as well, so hard to keep up. I enjoy you two ladies tremendously, and of course lovely Jen. She pointed me at your direction. Once I catch up with you and Grace, I will need to check out Pinky’s Farm and Adam. Have a wonderful time in the U.S. and hope to see a video from your travels.
Hi Marisol! I feel honoured that you have seen my video 3 times 👏🏼😁. It is hard to watch everyone I know so we all appreciate your time when you do and then take the time to comment 🤗. I love that we all tend to make different things each week and Jen is just the Queen for us all! We are having a marvellous time so far in the US and I just had the best time at Pinkys farm 👏🏼. Trish is just so lovely, well they all are! Thanks so much for your support cx
Yay! 2k subs, well done. I am having the same issue with cardigans, I just bought loads of jersey to batch sew some as I need them for school. Hope you are well. xxx
Hi Jennie, thank you so much. I love that Simplicity pattern and I really want to make another asap! I am fine, hope you are too and have been doing lots of crafting 😁
Carole the photos from Austria are amazing. I think you did a great job on the black cardi. Either pattern group would be nice, good luck on reaching 2k. I enjoy your channel and look forward to the next video.
I've made that Simplicity cardigan pattern - I made mine out of rose gold sequins and I love it! Yours came out really cute! EEEK! SO EXCITED TO MEET YOU IN MARCH!!! I played the flute in junior high and always sat first chair, but once I got my braces I couldn't play anymore - I just couldn't get my lips in the right position 🤣 Your photos are so gorgeous - what a wonderful trip!
Oh Michelle! I am so sad to hear your flute story, you need to take it up again! I have just discovered that Jen also played flute, how weird is that, I feel a Friday Sews trio coming on 😂🎶I can't believe you made a Simplicity pattern and I didn't know about it, plus you liked it!! Rose Gold sequins sounds beautiful but I imagine a nightmare to sew. 5 weeks to go before we meet 👏💗
All gorgeous makes, Carole. I love the top you are wearing and your Think Pink ‘periwinkle’ and pink colour block is gorgeous and looks so cozy. Your holiday photos are lovely and Austria looks so romantic❤Count me in for the pattern giveaway, please: Group 1 Thanks so much 😊 Have a great week 😊
Thank you for all your lovely comments! Austria is such a beautiful country and it was so lovely to be back there after 3 years, we had missed the scenery and the people. I have put you down in the Group 1 draw, hope you have good luck! Hope you also have a great weekend with lots of sewing time 🧵😊
Congratulations on hitting 2K!!! How exciting. Love your raglan sleeve top you're wearing and you did a phenomenal job on the old Simplicity cardigan. Gorgeous. Can't wait to meet you at noon on Friday in March! I will choose: GROUP 1 for the giveaway. Enjoy the piccolo. I am not at all musically talented.
I can't believe I am at 2k! It won't be long before you hit your first thousand I bet. I do love a cardigan and want to make more now, at present I mainly have store bought knitted ones that are getting on in age! It is going to be fabulous to meet you in person, I am so lucky to have booked a holiday and those dates coincided 😁. It is Sunday night and I still haven't practised anything so only 24 hours to go 😂. Have a great week and I have put you down for Group1 😊
OMG Austria looks amazing! The white shirt and cardi turned out really pretty! Thats perfect for March in Florida. I love that you pulled out the discarded cardigan and made it work. Its so cute too!❤c😅ngrata on hitting 2k subs!!!!!!🎉
Hey Trish! Thank you so much. What a fab pattern that is with the cardi and top, can I make a Twin set with it I wonder?! I keep wearing that black cardi now, it only took me 30 mins to fix and it had been in the cupboard for three years 😂. Thanks so much for being so kind about my channel and encouraging me in the first place 😘😘
Congratulations (a bit early) for hitting the 2K subscriber mark!!! Really been enjoying your channel and your makes! The black cardigan came out beautifully! Love the little flare at the bottom hem. It also adds a slimming effect to your garment (along with the long front opening). Definitely a keeper!!! Your blue/pink top is very nice. Like the color blocking you did. The pink band at the bottom to lengthen was a brilliant idea! As for the pattern group, I would choise #1. They would be more my style. Again, congratulations on your 2K subscriber achievement!!! 🥳🎈🍾🥂🥳
Thanks Dori, I hadn't thought of the flaring being a feature at all! In actual fact I wore it today and wondered to myself why I didn't finish it before 😂. I am pleased with my blue/pink top and glad you liked it as well. I think as I am writing this I have hit the 2k so am thrilled! I will put you down for Group 1. Have a great weekend and thanks again 😊
My husband says my oboe playing sounds like a duck 😂. The piccolo is not an easy instrument but a professional once told me, wear the tightest jeans you can as it makes you sit upright and play better! Think of me next Monday at orchestra 😲. Thanks for watching 😊
You did it! You hit 2k! Well done and I'm so glad you like the Simplicity cardigan and top. I'm inspired to make another. And I have to laugh at Chris sitting apparently waiting on his hot cocoa - apparently it was taking awhile! Your photos look like postcards. Such a beautiful place. xoxoxox
Eeek I did it! Honestly what an incredible journey I have been on since I discovered you and our UA-cam pals 😊. Chris was most probably waiting on some lunch and a beer 😆. Now you can see why we love Austria, it is just so magical. ❄️. Have a great weekend whatever you are up to xxxxx
Hi Cheryl, I am so excited to a) go to an American Sewing Expo and b) get the chance to meet so many people. It is going to be so wonderful and the timing of our holiday was a complete coincidence 😊Have a great weekend
Oh my goodness, another Monday orchestra! I do envy the violin players, they never get breathless like we do! Thanks for watching and I will put you down for Group 1 🎶
Yay!! I am so excited for you, will that be the February Box? Honestly, you won't be disappointed they have all been good for me so far. Thanks for your comment 💗
I'm agog with envy and awe at that snow and views, especially considering I am currently sitting in 29deg C with "feels like" 36deg C at 8pm atm (That's Queensland, Australia for you lol). Thank you for sharing. I would be very interested in Group 2. They look amazing.
Oh Yvonne, I can't remember what warm weather feels like 😂. I would love just a little bit of your heat! Austria was so pretty but I am sure I would get bored of the snowed covered landscapes after a while, it was weird seeing colours when we got home. I will put you down for group 2, now, enjoy your Summer! 😊
Congratulations on achieving 2k. I would use the group 2 patterns Carole if that works out.. Love your musical instruments as well. It is 36 degrees c here in Australia today. No snow in sight.🤪🤪
Thanks for watching Terri and I have entered you into the Group 2 drawer. I would just love someone else to join the 8640 club 😆. Austria is just truly beautiful and in the Summer it is also just so pretty. We just keep going back! Have a wonderful weekend 😊🧵
You really are close to 2K. I hope people step up and hit the subscribe button. You deserve it. Your videos are always such fun to watch. I'm jealous of all the travelling you do. I want to go to all the places.
Hi Linda, as I type this I have made the 2k 👏. I honestly can't believe it, its mainly thanks to my wonderful friends in Florida, I would never have had the courage without them 😊 We are fortunate to travel I know that but I am glad I have the chance now to share it with others. My kids never want to see our holiday photos 😂Have a great weekend x
@@socarole66 I love living through other's photos and experiences. I'd never say no to looking at someone's travel photos. Austria looks absolutely gorgeous!
I am viewing this 2 months after your oboe troubles and hope it was successfully repaired. At the moment of finding this video, I was practising my bassoon for MY orchestra! and loved your story :) I watch a lot of videos while practising my long tones and scales . I hope you are back in orchestra on your oboe by now !
Thanks so much Nancy, my Oboe is all now fixed and back in play! You sound far more proficient than me if you practice scales 😂 how marvellous that you watch videos whilst you do them 👏🏼. I will admit I enjoyed playing my flute whilst it was being mended, it's far easier to play and really is my 'home' instrument ☺️. Carry on the good work and you have encouraged me to maybe brush off my scales! 😊
Hi , Have recently ‘found you’ and are enjoying listening to you. Your taste in patterns is very similar to mine and if I am lucky ( and I am not usually) would very much like your group one patterns. Holiday photos were lovely. Hope you have a good weekend. Ann.
Hello Ann! Thank you so much for finding me and I am glad you liked my holiday photos 😊. I will put you down for group 1, good luck! Have a wonderful weekend too with lots of sewing? 😊🧵
Hi Debbie, thanks so much for watching and for your lovely comment. I am afraid I made the draw a couple of weeks ago and it was on the Friday Sews 10th Feb so I’m afraid you are too late. Don’t worry though as I have a few more patterns I will be giving away in a month or so. ☺️
Hello and welcome to my channel, thank you so much for finding me. I hope you enjoy my videos in the future 🤞and I will enter you into the Group 1 draw. Thanks again 😊
Oh that did make me smile about my accent, thank you 😊. Welcome to my channel and I really hope you enjoy my videos past and future. I have entered you into Group 1. Thanks again 🧵
@@socarole66 I thought maybe too many mince pies over the holidays caused everyone to move up into the larger size range. Lol. But yes, that pattern likely has something to do with it too.
Hi Linda! You are the winner of the group 2 patterns! I have put my email address on the bottom of this weeks comments box so let me know where I can send them. Well done 😊
Thank you Tricia! I am guessing by your UA-cam name you were born in the same year as me 😉. Thanks for watching and I will put you down for Group 1. 😊🧵
I think you saved that cardigan - it looks great! All of your makes from this week are so good. I made a note of the S9272 pattern because I think I might need it. LOL Thank you for the gorgeous pictures of Austria. 😍 I would love the group 2 patterns so I can join the 8640 club! LOL Can’t wait for March! 💞
Hi Izzy, Jen really does suggest great patterns! Unlike the ones I recommend to her 😂. I can't wait to have a go at the pants but I don't have any suitable fabric right now....hmmm... more fabric shopping perhaps?! I wore the black cardi today and don't know why I didn't finish it before. Sooo excited for March believe me and hopefully I can see you when you reach our shores in September? Have a great weekend 💖
S8987 is one of my favorite top patterns. I have made it twice (and will make it again). One version is a warm, black and white checkered flannel. Anyway, I would love to win the group 1 patterns. Merci!
It is such a good pattern isn't it? I have made so many of those but all knit fabric strangely. I have never made the Tshirt version which I really must this year. Thanks for watching and i will put you down for Group 1. 😊🧵
Carole, Thank you for sharing your holiday pictures, They are so fun. You make your sewing look so effortless, too. Seeing your Oboe made me remember when my grandson was in the orchestra and played the clarinet and running to the music store to get new reeds or having the pads replaced on the keys or whatever. He was very particular about his clarinet. Thank you for bringing back the memories for me. 🙏❤🙏
Thanks Maureen, I am glad you liked the photos. My kids aren't interested in seeing them so it is nice to share! Oh reeds for instruments, don't get me started ha ha. There is always something going on with reeds and they are so fragile, honestly the flute is so much easier, you just pick it up and blow 😂. I am going to enjoy going back to the flute but I must practice before Monday and stop sewing 😊 Enjoy your weekend whatever you are doing x
Beautiful Austria, I could almost smell the cold fresh air.
I know what you mean. When you step out if the airport in Austria it smells so fresh and different to anywhere else. Wonderful!
The clothes you make are always so nice and look great on you. Thank you for sharing the beautiful pictures of Austria.
Hi Carol, thank you so much 😊 I am glad you liked the photos, with a place so beautiful I just had to share the photos. Enjoy the weekend x
What beautiful travel photos! Thanks for sharing. I did my trip to Disney’s Animal Kingdom. It was a perfect day to go. A small attendance and a cool breeze. We walked over 5 miles and I was exhausted. The park was amazing and the guests were all so polite. I’m so disappointed that I will miss you at the Expo. It is so much fun to attend. I’ll be going to the one in Ohio. Safe travels!
Hi Susan. I'm so pleased you had a successful trip to Animal Kingdom. We always say Disney is a 'walking holiday'! Don't you just walk miles and miles and I also wonder how little children seem still to be skipping and running at the end of the day?! You were so lucky it was quiet, did you manage to do many rides and attractions? When we go to Florida in March we may do a day visit to one of the parks but in the UK all you can get is 7 or 14 day tickets in advance (the same price!). We only want the one day so we are leaving it to fate that we can buy a one day ticket when we are there. Such a shame I won't be meeting you at the Expo. It was only by pure chance that our holiday coincided with it. Thanks for your support on my channel and have a great week 😊
So glad you are back; I enjoy your videos. You will have a lovely time in Florida with all the sewing ladies. I would love group 2 of patterns.
Oh thanks Pamela, it is always nice to be home 😊. I am so excited for the Florida meet up, another chance to see those lovely ladies and a few others this time 👏. Hope you have a super sewing filled weekend and thanks again 🧵
Great save on the black cardi, Carole, and I love the creativity of the wavy lines on the t-shirt! 🤩 Can’t wait for the secret project! 😘💗
Hi Andra, I can't believe that cardi has been in my wardrobe for so long and it only took 30 mins to complete 😂. I have worn it a few times now and really quite like it! Those wavy lines caused me more wavy lines on my forehead I'm sure 😟but I was pleased I had a go. Looking forward to the secret project too 😉Have a great week xxx
I enjoyed your “trouble shooting” and modifications and everything turned out lovely. Congrats on your 2k subscribers and your very generous giveaways, of which I prefer group 1. Thanks for sharing your absolutely beautiful shots of Austria. We are hoping to have a white Christmas there or Switzerland this year, very different from our Aussie Christmas.
Hi Jane, a Christmas in the snow I imagine would be amazing for you. We did have one Christmas in Austria years ago and it was really different. Their main day is Christmas Eve and then Christmas Day (for us) seemed just back to normal for them! It was truly magical though so I hope you enjoy it. Thanks for all your kind comments and I will put you down for Group 1. 😊
Thank you Carole! I love listening to you!!! You have such a sweet sweet spirit. Love the pictures!! Group 2 please!
Oh my word thank you so much 😊. I am glad you enjoyed the pictures as it was just such a beautiful place. I have put you down for Group 2. Have a lovely week 😊
Hi, Carole, Sylvia, from Puerto Rico. Your so a talented lady. Sewing, playing music. But must of all, you have a sweet character.
Love group one.
Oh my goodness! Hello Puerto Rico! thank you so much for your kind comments, I will put you down for Group 1. Have a great weekend 😊
Lovely vlog Carol. I love all your makes. :)
Pictures from your holiday are amazing.
I love group 1 patterns :)
Thanks so much Agata, you are always so kind. I will put you down for Group 1. Enjoy your weekend 😊
Your photos are gorgeous! Love your makes and plans! Congratulations on the growth of your channel! Fun to catch up. Thank you!
Honestly, I cannot believe how this channel has grown mainly due to my lovely friends in Florida I think! Glad you liked the photos. Have a great week 😊
Love the pictures of the Alps. Thanks for sharing. The sweater was a good save. Have a great week ❤🧵🧵
Thank you, isn't Austria just so beautiful? I can't believe that sweater had been in the cupboard for so long without being finished as I don't think it took more than 30 mins ha ha. Hope you also have a great week 🧵😊
Oh my what can I say I'm so jealous have to show my daughter you have had a interesting week always fun watching you I like second lot thank you
Thanks Robyn, oh we did have such fun in Austria last week, it was all so pretty. I will put you down in the Group 2 draw. Thanks so much for your unwavering support with my channel 😊
So close to 2k.. Wonderful. Group 2 please..😊. I love the way you fixed up the black cardi..looks fabulous. I always enjoy your photos at the end of the videos but especially these of your trip…So beautiful..Like a fairy tale. You are so amazing, you deserve and I’m sure you will reach 3K by the end of the year.. 😊
I have made the 2k, oh my goodness I am so thrilled believe me! I am so glad you liked the Austria photos, not sure what I will have this week to compare to that. Thanks so much for your wonderful support, 3k I wonder?! I will put you down for Group 2 Thanks again 😊
Love all your makes and your beautiful pictures!
Thank you so much Shelia. Have a wonderful weekend. 🪡
Thought the cardigan was great. Glad you brought it back to life. 😊
Thank you Kay, I am really pleased with it now, so much so as I want to make another 😂 Having a channel and people to answer to has definitely made me finish and complete things I never used to! 😊
What beautiful pictures from your skiing trip. All your recent sewing items look great. I love how you altered the black cardigan. Group one. Group 1.
Hi Clare, thank you for you lovely comments. I love that black cardigan now! I will put you down for Group 1. 😊🧵
Hi Carole. Thanks for another great video. Love the pics. So beautiful. Group 1. Have a great weekend.
Oh thank you Sharon, so glad you enjoyed my vlog and the photos! I have put you down in the Group 1 draw, hope you also have a marvellous weekend 🧵😊
I'm glad you had such a great time in Austria. Thank you for posting those amazing photos and letting us live vicariously through you for a little minute or two vacation. :D I'm definitely looking forward to seeing how your experience with the men's shirt goes. I can see why the neck might be a little intensive, but I'm sure you'll make it look great! Have a wonderful rest of your week!
Hello there, thanks so much for watching and taking the time to chat with me. Austria was just so wonderful I had to share the photos as my kids aren't interested in seeing them 😂. The sweatshirt for my hubby is done and I am pleased with it. It wasn't particularly difficult...just fiddly! I will explain more on Friday. Hope he likes it. Enjoy your week and hope you get loads of sewing in 😊🧵
YAY you have done it. I’m so happy for you. 🙌💚❤️💙💜 The black cardigan is a win.
Yippee I'm so thrilled and surprised 🥳. Thanks so much for your support 😁
Hello, great fun. Group two is exciting. Keep inspiring.
Thanks for watching! I will enter you into the Group 2 draw and I wish you good luck 😊🧵
Thanks for hosting
Beautiful vlog, Carole! Your pictures of Austria are amazing. 🥰
Your black cardigan remake looks wonderful. (I’m in to adding beads to drawstrings and ties.) A coverstitch machine is so handy; I’m really happy with mine.
I love the way you color blocked the BTPD fabrics. 💗 I’m eager to see what colors I get. They’re all gorgeous colors!
Have SO much fun on your trip to Florida!
😍😍😍 to you and yours.
Hi Lynn and thank you as ever for being so kind! When I got my Coverstitch I really didn't think I would get much use out of it but I was so wrong. I don't know why I held off for so long 😂 Do let me know what colours you get and what you do with yours, the challenge for me was the small contrasting piece but the plus side is I can make some joggers for the little one out of the remaining fabric 👏. Have a great weekend and hope you get lots of sewing in x🧵x
Hello, Carole, so lovely catching up with you today! My goodness, your photos of your holiday are so amazing, what beauty there is out there in the world! I’m so glad you had an amazing time! Your black cardigan looks wonderful, you did an amazing job with you, Sewing is such a superpower! Thank you for sharing with us today! Happy Sewing❤~Tiffany
Hi Tiffany! Thanks for watching and your lovely comments. You are so right, there are some beautiful places on this planet of ours 😊. I wore the black cardi today and thought to myself, why didn't I finish it before and should I make another?! Have a great weekend 💖
Almost there. Thank you for sharing your makes. I love group 1. Hope you guys had fun in the snow.
Thank you so much! I have put you down for Group 1 and yes, we had so much fun in the snow!!!! ⛄
On behalf of my mom. Hi Carole, watching from across the pond. Loved seeing the Austria holiday pictures. So beautiful. I would love group 1 patterns.
Hi there! Thanks so much for your comment and I am glad you (your Mum!) enjoyed the photos. I will put you down in the draw for Group 1. Thanks again 😊
Congrats carole. Love watching your show and really like to see that you make the big 4. I like pattern group one.
Thanks Pat, what a lovely comment 😊. Oh I am a huge fan of the Big 4 as I grew up with them and I find their sizing and instructions consistent. I will put you down for Group 1, have a great weekend 🧵
Hi Carol! Great makes and beautiful pictures of Austria! Congratulations on your first 2k. I like group 2.
Thank you so much Aida! I have put you down for group 2, you were just in time before I did the draw!😊🪡
Beautiful pictures of Austria! Looks like fun activities 😁
Thank you, Austria is so beautiful at any time of year so easy to take nice photos! Have a good weekend 😊
Congratulations on the success of your channel. I thought your black cardigan turned out great! Better to have it and not need it rather than the reverse. I’d love the first collection of patterns with the smaller sizes. Thanks for sharing your makes.
Thank you so much Kenisha. Everyone has been so wonderful for supporting my little channel! You are so right on the black cardi, it was no use in the cupboard unfinished and it only took 30 mins to fix. I will put you down in the draw for Group 1, thanks again and have a good week 🧵😊
Beautiful vacation pictures! I would love group 2. Thanks
Thanks for watching Tonya, I will put you down for Group 2. 😊
I really enjoyed your video today, what great fun, but the cold! My thin blooded self could not stand that kind of cold. I love your makes, especially the cardigan and top, the i don’t have that pattern, so…… I would love to have the patterns from group 2 as I sew for some elderly ladies periodically. I hope you reach 2000 soon and keep growing. You are such a treat to watch. Take care.
As I type this I made the 2K, I am so thrilled! Thanks so much for your lovely words. Being in the cold isn't too bad if you are thoroughly geared up for it but England felt warm when we got back 😂I have entered you into the group 2 draw and thanks again for your support all the way along. Enjoy your weekend 😊x
Hi Carol love your videos , ive been binge watching from the start and have now caught up , I like group 2 of the patterns ,
Thank you Elaine, that is so kind of you to say that! I will put you down for Group 2. Have a fun sewing filled weekend 😊🧵
Look forward to your vlogs every week. Love your content. Good luck getting to 2K you deserve it. Group one patterns look awesome to me.
Thank you, that made me really happy when you said that about my videos 😊 I will enter you into the Group 1 draw. Hope you have a great weekend and thanks for watching 🧵
Popped in to say that I love your cardigan and top, they're perfect capsule wardrobe basics!
Hi there, thank you so much for your kind comment. I want to make them again right now! It is such a good pattern and as you say, great capsule pieces. 😊
we all love Vivmoms fashion shows! Group 1! Thanks for sharing
I agree re Vivmom, I wish she would do more of her videos but I still refer back to her when I get stuck for ideas! I will put you down for Group 1. Thanks for watching 😊
I love group 2. Thank you for your videos. I look forward to them. ❤️
Hi Barbara, thank you so much for watching and I will put you in the draw for Group 2. Have a good weekend 😊🧵
Congratulations, you have made it to 2K! Wonderful. I would really love Group 2.
Oh I know, I am so excited and thrilled. My family can't believe it 😂. I will put you down for Group 2 and have a wonderful weekend 🧵
Happy Friday Carole! You are so close to 2k - congrats. I just got out that same pattern and am making it as well. I love patterns that have the jacket, top and bottoms all in one! Your trip pictures are beautiful. We were in Salzburg this Fall just for the day, but I wish we could have stayed longer. I had to laugh when I heard a buzzer go off when you were showing your cardigan, I went to check if my coffee warmer had turned off 🤣🤣🤣. Have a lovely weekend.
Hi Kathleen! thanks so much for you lovely comments and encouragement 🤗. That pattern is such a good one isn’t’ it, Jen knows all the good ones! I have flown in and out of Salzburg many times bad sadly not visited it but I really must, I want to see where they filmed the Sound of Music. I had to rewatch the video as I didn’t realise a buzzer had gone off 🤣. That was my dishwasher saying to me ‘I’ve finished!! Come and empty me and stop chatting about sewing 😂” Thanks again so much for your support 😊
Congratulations on the 2K Subscribers. I thoroughly enjoy watching your videos. What a lucky girl you are to have such fun adventures such as Austria. It looks absolutely gorgeous. Please enter me to the group 1 pattern group.
Thank you so much Dinah, we are extremely fortunate to be able to go on adventures I know 😊. I have entered you into Group 1. 🧵
Wonderful photos. Snowshoes down the slope looks like fun but hazardous. You are a very talented lady. I'm sure playing the flute/piccolo will be like riding a bicycle for you. Will come back in no time at all. Would love Group 1 of the patterns but I live in far away Australia.
Hi Corinne! Thanks so much for your lovely comments and yes, snowshoes down a slope was a little bit hazardous but fun😂. I can't believe it is Saturday already and I still haven't practiced my Flute...aaaah! I spend too much time in my sewing room. I will put you down for Group 1, don't worry about your distance. I did say whoever, wherever and I meant it 😊
Beautiful place you went to. I think running down the hill was very graceful . I would like group 2 in the patterns, isn’t it funny how patterns seem to multiply on their own💐
Thank you Sandra 😂. It might not have been graceful if I fell over! I so know what you mean about patterns multiplying, how on earth does that happen?!🤔. I will put you down for Group 2, thanks so much for watching.
Group 1 please 😀
Love all your makes, the black cardigan turned out really well and looked great on u. Love your other cardigan and top looks amazing on u ❤
Hi Karen, I have put you down for Group 1. Thanks so much for watching and your lovely comments. 😊💗
@@socarole66 thank u for the lovely videos really enjoy them
I think your black cardigan was a good make followed by great alterations to improve it, well done! The blue cardigan is beautiful too.
That's really kind of you, thank you. I definitely want to make another of the blue cardi as it's such an easy pattern. Thanks for watching 😊
I love the cardigan. It is very flattering with the flutter hem at your hips. Pockets would be great, but they will also add weight, so that's a toss up!
Flutter hem! That's brilliant and I thought it looked weird so I am even happier with that now 😁. You are right about pockets, especially in a knit but it is so funny I automatically went looking for them! Thanks again x
Congratulations on almost 2000 subscribers! I played the flute for many years:) Your photos of Austria are just gorgeous, I'm looking forward to going there in May🙂Group 2 patterns would be a treat:)
Yay! Another flute player. I have to say, I do not love the Oboe anywhere near as much as the Flute! May will be a beautiful month for Austria, the scenery will be spectacular. Hope you have a lovely time ⛰️I have put you in the Group 2 draw 😊
Way to go, Carol. Group 2, please and thank you for sharing. I've been trying to join the 8640 club, but my local Joann's can't keep it in the drawers for the sales. Lol.
Thanks Mary! I really wish you luck in the Group 2 draw, I would love another person to try the 8640! I didn't realise that it was hard to get hold of, that shows how powerful Jen is in the sewing world 😉. Have a great weekend 🧵
Thank you for sharing your travels with those of us who are not able to do so. Group #2 patterns would be lovely.
Hi Helga, thank you so much for watching and your kind comment. I will put you down in the Group 2 draw. Have a fun sewing filled weekend 😊
Thank you for the video, and the wonderful pictures of Austria! Pattern group 2, please.
I am so glad you liked the photos Karen, I just had to share the beautiful scenery. I will put you down in the Group 2 draw. Have a great weekend 😊
What a great cardigan rescue😄
Thanks Anne, I wore the cardi today actually and I can't believe I hid it away without finishing it for so long. This channel has really made me finish things! Have a great weekend 😊
I just found your channel and subscribed. I love your makes. Your very talented. I’m looking forward to more of your videos. I love group 2 and thank you for the opportunity.
Hello and welcome! Thank you so much for finding me and I hope you enjoy my videos past and future. You are very kind to say I am talented, I really don't feel I am with so many other amazing sewists out there 😂 I will put you down for Group 2, good luck 😊
I think the black cardigan you finished up turned out really nice. A secret project coming up? Fun!! I enjoy looking at the beautiful sites of snow-covered trees, etc BUT, oh, I just couldn't handle being out in it any longer.
Hi Deb, I can't imagine you would want to go anywhere cold after living in Florida so, as you say, far better to look at the photos without suffering effects of numb toes and fingers ❄️. I wore the black cardi today and I have to say, I am pleased with it! Have a lovely weekend xx
I would love to be what we call "a snowbird" and live up North somewhere during the non-Winter months but travel to another home in the South for the Winter. I dream of the day...
@@DebsWay oh me too Deb!!! We would love a place in Florida believe me 😊
It’s great to see your holiday pics … it was a beautiful place! You have been very busy since you got back 😮
I’d like to be considered for group 2 patterns 👏🏻
I am so glad you enjoyed the photos, my kids aren't interested in seeing them so it is nice to have somewhere to share them now! I missed my sewing room so much I was just so happy to be back in there again 😂🧵 I have put you down for Group 2. Have a good weekend 😊
As sewers we have the uncanny ability to make a ‘fail’ into a win! Your cardigan looks fabulous.
So very nice of you to offer free patterns….one can never have enough! I would choose Group 1. Have a wonderful time in Florida!!!
We really do Linda, we just don't like a fail do we 😂. I have entered you into the Group 1 drawer, I am just so happy to thank my lovely viewers somehow for their loyalty when there are a million other sewing channels out there! Have a marvellous weekend 💗
It looks good. I would be tickled pink if I made one that looks that good.
Ha ha thanks so much! 💗
I think your black cardigan looked lovely and you did a super job on the Beyond the Pink Door make. Love, love, love the Simplicity cardi and looking forward to seeing the trousers made. Hope you have a great weekend. Group 2 should I be picked. Oh and congrats on reaching 2k. X
Thank you Babs for all your comments on my makes this week! I need to get some fabric for those trousers but I am not sure quite what. I feel a bit of fabric shopping coming on😂. I will put you down for Group 2 and I hope you have a great weekend as well, with lots of sewing time 😊
Wonderful video! Piccolo & oboe are So different in size, for sure! I’ve played clarinet since I was 10, but getting a bit rusty since I don’t play it much anymore! I love the group 2 patterns 😉
Hi Lori, Lovely to hear that you played the Clarinet. That is the thing about this orchestra, it makes you play every week even if you never practice at home. If I wasn't for being in that no way would I still be playing anything! I played my Flute tonight and it was so much easier than the oboe 😂🎶I have put you down for Group 2 patterns. Have a good week 😊🧵
Carole, I think this is a third time I’ve watched this video, so if I repeat myself, apologies. I’ve been catching upon watching Grace on her channel as well, so hard to keep up. I enjoy you two ladies tremendously, and of course lovely Jen. She pointed me at your direction. Once I catch up with you and Grace, I will need to check out Pinky’s Farm and Adam. Have a wonderful time in the U.S. and hope to see a video from your travels.
Hi Marisol! I feel honoured that you have seen my video 3 times 👏🏼😁. It is hard to watch everyone I know so we all appreciate your time when you do and then take the time to comment 🤗. I love that we all tend to make different things each week and Jen is just the Queen for us all! We are having a marvellous time so far in the US and I just had the best time at Pinkys farm 👏🏼. Trish is just so lovely, well they all are! Thanks so much for your support cx
Yay! 2k subs, well done. I am having the same issue with cardigans, I just bought loads of jersey to batch sew some as I need them for school. Hope you are well. xxx
Hi Jennie, thank you so much. I love that Simplicity pattern and I really want to make another asap! I am fine, hope you are too and have been doing lots of crafting 😁
Carole the photos from Austria are amazing. I think you did a great job on the black cardi. Either pattern group would be nice, good luck on reaching 2k. I enjoy your channel and look forward to the next video.
Thank you so much for your lovely comments, that is so kind of you. I have put you down in the draws. Thanks for watching 😊
I've made that Simplicity cardigan pattern - I made mine out of rose gold sequins and I love it! Yours came out really cute! EEEK! SO EXCITED TO MEET YOU IN MARCH!!! I played the flute in junior high and always sat first chair, but once I got my braces I couldn't play anymore - I just couldn't get my lips in the right position 🤣 Your photos are so gorgeous - what a wonderful trip!
Oh Michelle! I am so sad to hear your flute story, you need to take it up again! I have just discovered that Jen also played flute, how weird is that, I feel a Friday Sews trio coming on 😂🎶I can't believe you made a Simplicity pattern and I didn't know about it, plus you liked it!! Rose Gold sequins sounds beautiful but I imagine a nightmare to sew. 5 weeks to go before we meet 👏💗
All gorgeous makes, Carole. I love the top you are wearing and your Think Pink ‘periwinkle’ and pink colour block is gorgeous and looks so cozy. Your holiday photos are lovely and Austria looks so romantic❤Count me in for the pattern giveaway, please:
Group 1
Thanks so much 😊
Have a great week 😊
Thank you for all your lovely comments! Austria is such a beautiful country and it was so lovely to be back there after 3 years, we had missed the scenery and the people. I have put you down in the Group 1 draw, hope you have good luck! Hope you also have a great weekend with lots of sewing time 🧵😊
Congratulations on hitting 2K!!! How exciting. Love your raglan sleeve top you're wearing and you did a phenomenal job on the old Simplicity cardigan. Gorgeous. Can't wait to meet you at noon on Friday in March! I will choose: GROUP 1 for the giveaway. Enjoy the piccolo. I am not at all musically talented.
I can't believe I am at 2k! It won't be long before you hit your first thousand I bet. I do love a cardigan and want to make more now, at present I mainly have store bought knitted ones that are getting on in age! It is going to be fabulous to meet you in person, I am so lucky to have booked a holiday and those dates coincided 😁. It is Sunday night and I still haven't practised anything so only 24 hours to go 😂. Have a great week and I have put you down for Group1 😊
Group 1 please. I love watching your videos.
Hi Pamela, thank you so much! I will put you down for Group 1. Have a good week 😊🧵
OMG Austria looks amazing! The white shirt and cardi turned out really pretty! Thats perfect for March in Florida. I love that you pulled out the discarded cardigan and made it work. Its so cute too!❤c😅ngrata on hitting 2k subs!!!!!!🎉
Hey Trish! Thank you so much. What a fab pattern that is with the cardi and top, can I make a Twin set with it I wonder?! I keep wearing that black cardi now, it only took me 30 mins to fix and it had been in the cupboard for three years 😂. Thanks so much for being so kind about my channel and encouraging me in the first place 😘😘
Congratulations (a bit early) for hitting the 2K subscriber mark!!! Really been enjoying your channel and your makes! The black cardigan came out beautifully! Love the little flare at the bottom hem. It also adds a slimming effect to your garment (along with the long front opening). Definitely a keeper!!! Your blue/pink top is very nice. Like the color blocking you did. The pink band at the bottom to lengthen was a brilliant idea! As for the pattern group, I would choise #1. They would be more my style. Again, congratulations on your 2K subscriber achievement!!! 🥳🎈🍾🥂🥳
Thanks Dori, I hadn't thought of the flaring being a feature at all! In actual fact I wore it today and wondered to myself why I didn't finish it before 😂. I am pleased with my blue/pink top and glad you liked it as well. I think as I am writing this I have hit the 2k so am thrilled! I will put you down for Group 1. Have a great weekend and thanks again 😊
@@socarole66 Thanks so much, Carole. I look forward to your future makes!
I love the Oboe! The picilo is not easy to play!!! Yout photos were stunning 😍 . Also love your latest makes!!! Always fun spending time with you 💕
My husband says my oboe playing sounds like a duck 😂. The piccolo is not an easy instrument but a professional once told me, wear the tightest jeans you can as it makes you sit upright and play better! Think of me next Monday at orchestra 😲. Thanks for watching 😊
You did it! You hit 2k! Well done and I'm so glad you like the Simplicity cardigan and top. I'm inspired to make another. And I have to laugh at Chris sitting apparently waiting on his hot cocoa - apparently it was taking awhile! Your photos look like postcards. Such a beautiful place. xoxoxox
Eeek I did it! Honestly what an incredible journey I have been on since I discovered you and our UA-cam pals 😊. Chris was most probably waiting on some lunch and a beer 😆. Now you can see why we love Austria, it is just so magical. ❄️. Have a great weekend whatever you are up to xxxxx
Looking forward to seeing you in Lakeland! Cheryl 🇨🇦
Hi Cheryl, I am so excited to a) go to an American Sewing Expo and b) get the chance to meet so many people. It is going to be so wonderful and the timing of our holiday was a complete coincidence 😊Have a great weekend
Hi! I play in an orchestra as well, and we rehearse on Monday nights. I play the violin. Group 1 looks interesting to me.
Oh my goodness, another Monday orchestra! I do envy the violin players, they never get breathless like we do! Thanks for watching and I will put you down for Group 1 🎶
Your group one patterns look fab. Great vlog as usual. Love the cardigan
Thanks Lorraine. The cardi is definitely a winner and now I need to make another! I will put you down for Group 1, have a lovely weekend 😊x
I’m so excited. I’m getting my first BTPD box, I managed to sign up on Wednesday 😊
Your top looks great.
Yay!! I am so excited for you, will that be the February Box? Honestly, you won't be disappointed they have all been good for me so far. Thanks for your comment 💗
I'm agog with envy and awe at that snow and views, especially considering I am currently sitting in 29deg C with "feels like" 36deg C at 8pm atm (That's Queensland, Australia for you lol). Thank you for sharing. I would be very interested in Group 2. They look amazing.
Oh Yvonne, I can't remember what warm weather feels like 😂. I would love just a little bit of your heat! Austria was so pretty but I am sure I would get bored of the snowed covered landscapes after a while, it was weird seeing colours when we got home. I will put you down for group 2, now, enjoy your Summer! 😊
Your talents are endless Carol. Love your posts. I would be interested in group 1 patterns x
Thank you Susan that is so kind 😊. I have put you down for Group 1, have a great weekend 🧵
Congratulations on reaching 2000 subscribers. I really enjoy your videos. Thank you . I would be interested in Group 2 patterns.

I would love to win group one ☝️ Take care and have a great weekend
Hello there and thanks for watching. I will put you down for the Group 1 draw. Good luck! 😊
Congratulations on achieving 2k. I would use the group 2 patterns Carole if that works out.. Love your musical instruments as well. It is 36 degrees c here in Australia today. No snow in sight.🤪🤪

I really, really would like to try 8640 😊 group 2. Shipping on me though. Beautiful pictures of Austria! A true winter wonderland!
Thanks for watching Terri and I have entered you into the Group 2 drawer. I would just love someone else to join the 8640 club 😆. Austria is just truly beautiful and in the Summer it is also just so pretty. We just keep going back! Have a wonderful weekend 😊🧵
You really are close to 2K. I hope people step up and hit the subscribe button. You deserve it. Your videos are always such fun to watch. I'm jealous of all the travelling you do. I want to go to all the places.
Hi Linda, as I type this I have made the 2k 👏. I honestly can't believe it, its mainly thanks to my wonderful friends in Florida, I would never have had the courage without them 😊 We are fortunate to travel I know that but I am glad I have the chance now to share it with others. My kids never want to see our holiday photos 😂Have a great weekend x
@@socarole66 I love living through other's photos and experiences. I'd never say no to looking at someone's travel photos. Austria looks absolutely gorgeous!
I am viewing this 2 months after your oboe troubles and hope it was successfully repaired. At the moment of finding this video, I was practising my bassoon for MY orchestra! and loved your story :) I watch a lot of videos while practising my long tones and scales . I hope you are back in orchestra on your oboe by now !
Thanks so much Nancy, my Oboe is all now fixed and back in play! You sound far more proficient than me if you practice scales 😂 how marvellous that you watch videos whilst you do them 👏🏼. I will admit I enjoyed playing my flute whilst it was being mended, it's far easier to play and really is my 'home' instrument ☺️. Carry on the good work and you have encouraged me to maybe brush off my scales! 😊
I really would like group 2. I gave enjoyed your vlogs, but just subscribed. Please keep them coming.
Hello and welcome! Thank you so much for finding me and subscribing. I will put you down in the Group 2 draw 😊
Thank you
Hi ,
Have recently ‘found you’ and are enjoying listening to you.
Your taste in patterns is very similar to mine and if I am lucky ( and I am not usually) would very
much like your group one patterns.
Holiday photos were lovely.
Hope you have a good weekend.
Ann.
Hello Ann! Thank you so much for finding me and I am glad you liked my holiday photos 😊. I will put you down for group 1, good luck! Have a wonderful weekend too with lots of sewing? 😊🧵
Everything you sew up turns out so nice!

Hi Debbie, thanks so much for watching and for your lovely comment. I am afraid I made the draw a couple of weeks ago and it was on the Friday Sews 10th Feb so I’m afraid you are too late. Don’t worry though as I have a few more patterns I will be giving away in a month or so. ☺️
How exciting you're almost at 2k. Congratulations, I love Group 2.

@@socarole66 I thought maybe too many mince pies over the holidays caused everyone to move up into the larger size range. Lol. But yes, that pattern likely has something to do with it too.

Thank you so much Crystal 😊 I will put you down for Group One, good luck x
I think you saved that cardigan - it looks great! All of your makes from this week are so good. I made a note of the S9272 pattern because I think I might need it. LOL Thank you for the gorgeous pictures of Austria. 😍 I would love the group 2 patterns so I can join the 8640 club! LOL Can’t wait for March! 💞
Hi Izzy, Jen really does suggest great patterns! Unlike the ones I recommend to her 😂. I can't wait to have a go at the pants but I don't have any suitable fabric right now....hmmm... more fabric shopping perhaps?! I wore the black cardi today and don't know why I didn't finish it before. Sooo excited for March believe me and hopefully I can see you when you reach our shores in September? Have a great weekend 💖
I would love to have Group Two. I’m just getting back into garment sewing. I wear size 24 up and down. Thank you.
Hello there, I have put you down for the Group 2 draw. Thanks for watching 😊
S8987 is one of my favorite top patterns. I have made it twice (and will make it again). One version is a warm, black and white checkered flannel. Anyway, I would love to win the group 1 patterns. Merci!
It is such a good pattern isn't it? I have made so many of those but all knit fabric strangely. I have never made the Tshirt version which I really must this year. Thanks for watching and i will put you down for Group 1. 😊🧵
