Thank you so much for watching I’m glad you like them 😊 xx
Snow storm? Thursday we will have35C!!!!. We really are opposite in temperature! You will be in a puffer jacket. I will be in a cami and cropped pants. Such is life.
Haha lucky you!! Our weather is still very chilly here I don’t think we’ll have summer any time soon 🙈 x
your carolyn pyjamas are beautiful, i love the fabric and the pretty piping
Thanks so much I'm really pleased with how they turned out :) x
Thanks for this lovely video. Loving all your makes ;)
Thanks so much for watching 😊💗 xx
Slant pocket 😊😊
Ah thank you that makes sense 😊
I’ve been making leggings for my granddaughters and a denim skirt for myself. Lovely jumper, looks fab. ❤️
They sound like lovely makes leggings are a super speedy one aren't they! Thank you for watching I'm pleased you like the jumper x
I love your pretty hand warmers and PJs.
I’m north Dorset now but I use to live in East Sussex .
Thank you so much! Dorset is lovely we go there a lot 😊 x
I love your pjs.
Thanks so much 😊 xx
Your makes are beautiful, I just love your Carolyn PJ's. The Junos are lovely too. You're so good with your knitting! I'm useless at blocking lol xx
Thanks so much Karen, the Juno PJs are so comfy!! Blocking has taken me a while to get into but now I know what a difference it makes I'll do it more :) xx
Love love your makes especially the knitted items well done
I love the colour as well xx❤️❤️
Thanks so much for watching, I'm glad you like them :) x
❤️❤️
Amazing work. everything came out perfectly 😅
Thank you so much xxx
Love all your cozy makes😊 The PJs are so well made and lovely fabric choices Hudson’s are such a great color and I still have to try that pattern. The leaf design is beautiful on the knitted snood and mitts and I think blocking does give a much nicer finish. Can’t wait to see what you are sewing and knitting next 😃
Thank you very much for watching, I'm glad you like the makes! The Hudson's are great, you should definitely try them. I'll look forward to sharing my plans with you next week xx
Such lovely makes and fabrics Sally. Your jumper looks amazing and really suits you. Thank you.
Thanks so much I’m really pleased with the jumper 😊 Thank you for watching xx
All your makes are absolutely beautiful. You are very talented.
Thank you so much thats's very kind :) x
Love all your makes as always. The Carolyn pjs look beautiful, perfect for spring time xx 💖😊
Thanks so much Becky I’m so pleased with the Carolyn pyjamas they are lovely to make 😊 x
Your makes are wonderful and look sooo good on you. I really look forward to your videos because of your professional sewing skills and beautiful style. Love it!!
Aw thank you so much I'm really pleased to hear that you like the videos it's good to have the feedback :). I'm glad you like the makes too, thank you so much for watching xx
I do a lot of knitting and I'd definitely call the leaf pattern lace 😍 Thanks for sharing your sewing projects - you've also motivated me to get on with the pyjamas I cut out.
Ah that’s good to know thank you!! I would call it lace too but my stitch knowledge is limited 😂 thanks so much for watching xxx
@@SecretLifeOfASeamstress I was told anything where you're adding and removing stitches (yarnover, make1, slip slip knit, knit 2 together etc) but the overall stitch count stays the same is lace - or at least no-one will argue if you call it lace 🤣
Hi Sally, on my last pair of Carolyn pajamas I created a back neck facing by copying the top 2 inches of the back bodice pattern (the back neck area). I then attached my back facing to the collar pieces like you would any other facing. it was so much easier to insert and get a nice clean finish than the way the pattern is drafted.
Thank you for this it’s really helpful. The neck finishing can be a bit fiddly can’t it. Thank you for watching too xx
I always really love your makes, so much so that I’ve just been on the ‘We are Knitters’ website to look at buying that kit and I can’t even knit 🤣🤣🤣
Haha ah thank you!! Well I think that kit would be a good one to start with (perhaps after getting a bit of scrappy practice in first). I’m really pleased with it 😊 Thank you for watching xx
Yet again lovely makes the colours are gorgeous and I used the same material you made the first pj’s in and made a simple Tee I love the butterflies it’s so pretty ( bought it from Pound Fabrics and such a great price)Still pondering over having a go at knitting love the jumper you are wearing you really suit the colour.
Thank you so much! That jersey is lovely isn’t it I’m so pleased with it. I would recommend this kit if you’re starting out it’s a lovely one and very easy 😊 Thank you for watching xxx
Thanks for sharing your lovely makes! Everything looks so wellmade and beautiful, in fact your whole video is beautiful and well made (as always) ☺️ I love your estetics! Piping is such a nice detail, I have used it now and then making cushions for my shop and also along the raglan seams on sweaters. Do you make your own piping or do you buy ready made? I usually make my own with self cut biasbinding or strips of jersey for the sweaters. I have this idea of making piping out of old silk ties, I think that would look stunning! They are sewn on the bias so it’s ”just” a matter of taking them appart and carefully wash them. They cost next to nothing in charity shops. But I haven’t got round to it yet 😊
Thank you so much I’m really pleased to hear you like my makes and enjoy the videos :) I haven’t made my own piping yet, it just seems an extra effort haha. I do make my own binding for projects though so it’s silly really. That sounds a wonderful idea with the silk scarves that would be some beautiful piping!! Thanks for watching xx
Interesting video and lovely makes. I am not a competent knitter so have stuck to simple scarves. I was interested to hear about blocking too and would like to know more about it
Thank you so much! Blocking is something I’m still learning about - I’d never even heard of it before the days of Instagram!! It does make a difference though. I’ve only just properly got into knitting garments over this last few years before I stuck to baby clothes etc when my children were little. Thank you for watching xx
I’ve just got into knitting but I’m a bit confused about blocking. Do you do it after you have sewn it up or before? It would be nice if you did a video on it . Loved all you makes 💕
I think you can do it either way. With garments I’ve sewn together and then blocked but with the snood it actually said to block before sewing. I guess it’s personal preference in the end. I’m not sure I have enough experience yet to do a video but maybe in the future 😊 Thank you for watching I’m glad you like what I’ve made x
All your makes were really lovely.I don't know if it was just me but you were really quiet.
Thank you so much! Oh sorry to hear that the sound is ok on my laptop but it would be interesting to hear if anyone else found that and I can look into it. Thanks for letting me know x
Hi Sally the knitting kit what size would you recommend for size 14 to 16 more like a 14.
If you have a look on the site they have a size guide and it’s based on bust measurements etc rather than sizing so it might be best if you check there first. I hope that helps 😊 x
