    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!

    • @socarole66
      @socarole66  Рік тому

      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 😊

    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. 😊

    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

    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!!! 🥳🎈🍾🥂🥳

    It’s possible that the blue knit on your pink/blue top looks different because you cut the top and bottom going different directions. A lot of people don’t realize that knit fabrics actually have a nap - not as pronounced as velvet or corduroy - that can cause slight color differences. That’s why all patterns designed for knit ALWAYS say “60” fabric with nap” on the envelope back where yardages are listed and have a “with nap” layout diagram.

      Hi Nancy. Thanks for your comment. Yes initially I thought I must have moved the material around to cut out but no, that wasn't the case as the blue pieces were cut out at the same time and stacked next to each other if you know what I mean. It must purely be the effect of the pink and the lighting. Mysterious isn't it?! You are so right, a lot of people don't realise there is nap on knit fabrics and only think it applies as you say to cord etc. I find viscose jersey sometimes has a nap which can catch you out. Thanks so much for taking the time to comment and for watching. 😊

      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 😊
