- In my sewing room New Look 6483,this simple pattern turned out to be infuriating! However, success came in the form of a cushion cover using some different fabric available to me.
Thanks to Jen from @TodayinJensSewingRoom , for starting the #fridaysews movement.

The pillow idea is genius - I love it!! I often get comments like you did from people who wonder how I get so much sewing done. And you are absolutely right - everyone’s situation is going to be different. Full-time job, small children, other hobbies… whatever! Comparison is the thief of joy they say so no comparison 😂 Fabulous pictures at the end as always. Thank you so much for sharing those. Have a good weekend! Xx 💞
I honestly have no idea how you have time to make garments let alone huge quilts! With your high pressure job and work schedule you certainly are an inspiration to many. I have never heard that saying before and it is spot on. I am so happy with that pillow its crazy, I felt those ties were a strangulation disaster waiting to happen 🤣. Have a great weekend at the island xx🚣🏼xx
@@socarole66 « a strangulation disaster waiting to happen » 🤣 You have to wonder what manufacturers/designers are thinking sometimes.
@dizzyquiltsandsews honestly, sleeping with those ties by my face, it felt like snakes were on my pillow. I mean... whose crazy idea was it?! 🤣
Hello, Carole! Thank you so much for the lovely shoutout, you are so kind! And how true that we’re all so different in our stage of life and ability to dedicate time to our beloved hobby. Any time spent in the sewing room is precious time for me! 🥰 All of your makes are so lovely! And I smiled so wide to see your hubby’s baseball cap with a big Texas across it even as you explored Devon 😂 Love it! Hope you have a wonderful weekend, Carole! Happy Sewing ❤~Tiffany
My Hubby collects hats from where ever he goes and he loves that Texas one! He got it when we went to Texas for my 50th ( 8 years ago 😱) when we visited Dallas and Southfork!! He has got a Dorset one but it is from Dorset, Canada🤣.
As I said in my video, I have no idea how you have time to sew anything as I appreciate how time consuming little ones are as WELL as your job! Super Mom for certain.
Have a great weekend 🧵😊
Thank you, Carole, for answering the question about "how long it takes to make a top". I absolutely HATE those "X-Hour" patterns! I've been sewing for many years and I would never be able to make a top in "3 hours", nor would I want to! I'm not able to create a quality garment in that time, nor would I enjoy the rushed process! If I could sew a top in 3 hours from raw fabric to the end, I doubt I would then wear it more than 3 hours total.
Enjoy the process of sewing, savour the results, and you'll have a garment that you'll wear for years to come!
Love your channel, Carole! ❤
I think unless you are in a timed sewing competition then a garment should take as long as it takes!! I suppose they do it to give an indication rather than a target. I am sure you could make a basic T shirt in 3 hours, or a pyjama top! I am a fast sewist I know and I think I produce stuff of a good enough quality. We are all very different as I said but what I didn't want the viewer to feel is that Friday Sews is a competition of how many garments we can all sew in a week. Thanks so much for watching and I appreciate your comment 🧵😊
Great pillow, I would have never thought of doing it. My advice to beginner sewist is to take your time and not give up. When I returned to sewing garments after many years I thought I was gong to go crazy, nothing went correctly. Since that first dress I have been in my sewing room every week. Now sewing brings me joy and I love it. Even my teenage grandchildren love the items I make for them. Sewing helps relieve stress and anxiety in a way I would have never thought. I am now teaching my 13 year old granddaughter to sew and we are making dresses for project dress a girl, 5 so far and they are beautiful.
Thank you so much for your comment and I am so pleased to hear that you have found joy in Sewing again How wonderful that you are teaching your Granddaughter and what a wonderful cause you are supporting. You have reminded me I need to start mine! 🧵😊
I thought when I retired earlier in the year, I would spend so much more time sewing. Well, I do sew more, but life gets in the way. And it's important to have a balance in my life. I make time for family, especially my retired hubbie. And I make time for exercise and healthy meal planning and cooking. I do want to use some smaller pieces or fabric to whip up some shorts and tshirts for my great nieces. I really love the wheel. I'm tempted to try something similar for myself.
I love that you have all those things going on in your life, you sound like me. I try and juggle childcare, music, fitness and all the housework as well. My Hubby still works though so I only sew at night as feel too guilty during the day to indulge in my 'hobby'! The wheel is such fun to do and has been used for many other things in years gone by. Thanks for watching 🧵😊
That cushion is a masterpiece, well done. Thanks for all the effort you put into your channel, I love watching it and it always ‘gets me sewing again’ whenever I’m in a slump. X
Thank you so much for watching and I really appreciate your kind comment. I am glad that I can encourage you to sew when you are in a slump as you say. There are times to sew and times just to sit and look at fabric aren't there 😆. Thanks again 🧵😊
The little pillow is a victory over the annoying straps.
Weren't they just ridiculous and a potential health hazard! Thanks so much for your comment xxx 🧵😊
How have I missed this video 🤔 love what you done with the ties from the duvet I wouldn’t have thought of weaving it.
I can't wait to see your review on that top, because I would like to make it again! I had made it before in a fairly structured cotton. I'll try it in a flowier fabric next time.
I'm glad you addressed the topic of time spent sewing. I feel very slow, but when I look back at what I've done over the past 3-6 months, I am usually pleasantly surprised.
I've learned to intentionally view every aspect of sewing as actual sewing, even it isn't actually using the sewing machine. I've chosen to enjoy each step of the process. It's hard, because I really want the finished project, too.
I've also tried to adjust my attitude to view it all as learning, as well as enjoyment and personal therapy. That way, if I don't like my finished project, for whatever reason, it's ok.
I was so impressed that used those ties to make a project! Well done!! I have new sheets that came with a four inch ruffle on the top. My husband hated it! So we put that part to the foot of the bed. 😂
Hi Tammy, thanks so much for your comment. You need to cut that ruffle off and make something from it too 🤭.
I can't imagine that top in a more structured fabric I will admit but I ended up with way too much fabric at the back even though I sized down. The video will be coming out on Monday anyway so you can see!
I love your attitude to sewing, it is exactly what I was trying to say. Happy Sewing 🧵😊
Im always interested in the sizes you make for your tops because we seem to be the same size and If I mimick your size they always fit! You are the tester! Your makes always turn out so cute!
How funny that I am testing the patterns for you! I hope I never let you down 😂. Thanks so much for watching and have a great weekend 🧵😊
I love your pillow!!!😍😍😍 So pretty! Great use of those ties.
You are so kind to address the question from one of your viewers. It's not about the amount of things a person makes, but the joy the process brings.
Always enjoy all of your videos!☺️
Thanks so much for your kind comment about the pillow. I am so glad I was able to use something that was completely pointless in my opinion! Have a super week of sewing 🧵😊
Pretty tops Carole. Love those fresh blue and white fabrics. And absolutely, sewing at speed or lots of things is not necessary for this lovely hobby. I’ve made all my biggest mistakes when I’m rushing or not sewing with care and attention. I know what your viewer means though, watching TH-cam sewers who create lots of wonderful garments is great but it can feel like we should be doing more and quickly. We all sew and create differently and that’s just fine.
I feel the same sometimes when I watch other vloggers, especially if they are going for the perfect fit or challenging themselves. I love sewing so much I would never want it to become less enjoyable for me so happy to carry on as I am and yes, sometimes I make a lot and sometimes I don't! Thanks so much for your lovely comment on my makes this week and you can't go wrong with blue and white can you! 🧵😊
Congratulations on saving the beautiful fabric there's no time limit its your garment you do what makes you happy great video ❤😊😊
Definitely! We should all do what makes us happy 😁. Thanks so much for watching Robyn and glad you liked the fabric save 🧵😊
Love all your blue and white tops, blue and white always looks so fresh. And a very cute pillow, great save with all those ties, they would have driven me crazy. With my family visiting I haven't done much sewing, but I am enjoying all the cuddle time with the baby. Have a great week.
There is something about blue and white together isn't there, as you say, clean and fresh. Aww cuddle time with a baby is just magical, my little Granddaughter is one next month, can you believe that? They are babies for such a little time. Have a good week 🧵😊
Thanks for sharing your sewing and your lovely pictures, too. Clever reuse of your LA fabric strips. That pillow is a much better idea than the annoying ties ever could be. 😊
Glad you liked the use of those silly strips. No one yet has said they were pretty and I should have left them! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment 🧵😊
Hi Carole. Thank you for making me smile. What a great idea for your cushion. Love it😅
Thanks for watching Anne, it always makes me smile when people comment! Have a great week ahead. 🧵😊
Must be an age thing where I thought weaving would be the answer for your ties too 😂 great result and I love that all your sewing doesn’t always go to plan either! xx
We are definitely thinking on the same wave lengths! It was such fun to do, I want to do it again with some spare 'jelly roll' bits I have laying around! I think my sewing goes less to plan than you think 😂. Have a great weekend 🧵😊
One hour sew!🤣🤣🤣🤣 I've never made anything in the time someone else says it should take
In regard to the viewer asking about sewing speed - a big factor I believe I've noticed is how precise a sewist is compared to others. I see some people just slapping those pattern pieces onto the fabric and whizzing away with their cutting. I, on the other hand, cannot bring myself to do that. I was taught to carefully line up the selvedges if folding fabric in half and if I decide to fold each selvedge to the center to cut pieces on the fold, I always precisely measure the width from selvedge to fold to make sure the folds are on grain. I also measure from each end of the grainline arrows to the selvedge on any piece not cut on the fold to make sure the pieces are laid on grain. Everyone should just sew in whatever way and at whatever speed they're comfortable with and enjoy THEIR process.
Loved your creativity with the bedding ties! X
You are so creative! Cute woven pillow. I always enjoy the pictures at the end of your videos. Thanks for sharing your week.
Thanks so much Glenda. I loved making that pillow case and now I want to weave more fabric 😂. Have a wonderful weekend 🧵😊
You're amazingly talented.. Your pillow is wonderful.. You T-shirt Is so cute... I"m retired and still can't find a lot of time to sew as much as some of you sew.... Please tell the lady that .. gardening is my job right now.
Oh my goodness thank you so much. I think if we don't have jobs we try and pack more into our days 🤣. Gardens are certainly growing well this year, not surprised you don't have time to sew! Have a great weekend 🧵😊
Hi Carole, I love your blue and white tops. Very fresh looking, I think, for summer.
Thank you also for addressing your subscribers question too. We can feel pressured when we are watching vloggers , feeling we aren't sewing enough "stuff". So sound advice, to just enjoy the process and go at our own speed.
Have a great week.
Thanks Annette. Sometimes when I see other vloggers challenging themselves or trying hard projects I do doubt myself but then I think... why?! Let's all just enjoy our hobby 🥰.
Thanks for watching and hope you have a good week too 😊🧵
What a great idea to make that beautiful pillow with the ties. Love, love, love it. You have a lot of sewing plans that will be lovely. Look forward to all of your makes. Have a good week.
Thanks so much Carol, as you can tell I was so happy I used up those ties! Have a great weekend and week ahead too 🧵😊
Hi Carole, in the end your New Look top came out great. Nice button detail. I love what you did with those ties weaving them for the beautiful pillow. We all sew at our own pace and it wouldn't be fun if we had pressure. Hope you have a great week! 🥰❤
Hi Grace, you are so right with your comment. Sewing is NOT fun when we are under pressure! It was so odd with the New look top, I wish I had kept notes on what size the one I was wearing was. I do think those facings are a pain though and hate the slip stitching on the shoulders as no matter how careful I am I always have to tweak that bit!!
Hope you had a great weekend and can't wait to see your denim reveal 👖👜xxx💗
Carol, your pillow is fantastic and the bag looks great 😊 good luck with the tee you are un picking 😊
Thanks Stephanie. The T is unpicked, sewn back up and finished and it's ok in the end 🤣. Thanks for watching as always 🧵😊
Really darling pillow cover, Carole, and great way to repurpose fabric!!
Thanks so much! I was so glad I didn't just throw them away. Have a wonderful weekend🧵😊
Hi Carole! I’m sorry it was such a frustrating week. We all have them occasionally! I would have cut those ties off so fast! I can’t stand sleeping with anything like that to annoy me. You did such a great job on the pillow!!! I love it. Good save. You answered the new sewist perfectly! It varies so much in time it takes… and as long as we sew, progress and enjoy… that’s all that matters. Can’t wait to see the “Wheel of Fate” reveal Thank you Carole! ❤ Diann
No worries Diann, we all have those projects and mostly it's the ones we say will be a breeze!
You are always right in what you say at the end of your videos about sewing. As long as we enjoy it that's all that matters.
I will be interested to see what people think of my W O F results actually!
Thanks for stopping by ❤️🍓 xx
I love your new pillow cover! Such a cute idea! Your blue and white top is gorgeous!
Thanks so much! That is so kind of you to take the time to comment 🧵😊
What a great idea with the duvet ties.
Thanks Jeanette, weren't they so silly?! Have a good weekend 🧵😊
Good advice to young (and older) sewists. We all have other interests and obligations in life. Enjoyed seeing your makes. Lookin forward to FWoF!!! Have a great week! 😊-Deborah
Hi Deborah, we do indeed have other interests and obligations. I do feel if all we did was so we really wouldn't enjoy it as much. FWOF will be out tomorrow, can't wait to hear what people think of the top.....😅. Have a good week 🧵😊
Wow, the pillow was such a great idea for the little strips of fabric 👏👏. I am sorry to hear you had some Drama this week, but you persevered and saved the day 👍👍. Thank you for another great video & try to stay cool 🥵🥵🥶🥶
Don't worry Karen, I jinxed the weather and it has gone colder again 😂. Weren't those ties so silly? I now want to make another of those weaved cushion covers it was so much fun to do. Have a great week and don't overdo the decorating xxx😘
Hi Carole, I love the cushion, it's very pretty, and such a good use of the ties. Funny how it happens that a pattern doesn't turn out how you know it should, it always surprises me. The maxi skirt will look great won't it. Looking forward to your next video. Thank you😊
Thanks so much Bridget. I loved making that cushions and now have designs in my head to make more!! I have cut off the shirred bit of the dress but now I can't decide how long to make it 😂. The bane of my life, deciding hem lengths! Have a great week 🧵😊
Hi Carole, you are definitely creative, that cushion cover is genius! What a great way to recycle. I love that top, but your right, something is wrong with that pattern. There shouldn’t be that much difference in construction of each view. I can’t wait to see your wheel make, I love that fabric, but you know I love all fabric. I hate that your viewer felt like she was a good enough sewist, no one should feel like they are not good enough. I’ve been sewing since I was 5 or 6 years old and am retired now, but can’t find time to sew as much as I want to. I only made one garment last week and yesterday I finally got to cut out and make two quilt blocks. I should have that quilt finished by now, but I can’t always get into my sewing room every day, sadly. We all sew at our own pace, no pressure, it’s just for fun, thankfully. Take care 😊
Thanks so much Sue, as always you are so very kind. I don't understand why they make that basic top so complicated and I forgot to say but it has the awkward shoulder facings where you sew one layer and slip stitch the other closed. That never ends up perfectly even!
Re the comment, it shook me that I could be responsible for making someone feel that way so had to say something. As you quite rightly say, sewing should be enjoyable and we should be happy with whatever we produce. Look how excited I was with the simple cushion cover 🤣.
Have a great weekend 🧵😊
That pillow is so pretty, Carole! Before you showed us what you made with the ties, I was thinking they would make great bias binding! Fab save on the blue and white top! 😘💗
Thank you Andra, it was such fun to do that cushion cover I now want to buy a jelly roll and do another! Have a wonderful week my friend, just booked our hotel in Bristol 🥰💗👏🏼x
Love the pillow. And agree the ties are ridiculous . Good save.
Thanks Barbara, I'm just so glad I didn't end up throwing those ties in the bin! Have a good week 😊🧵
Wow well done on that cushion!!! Ingenious to weave them!!!
Thanks Rachael, weren't they ridiculous?! I really enjoyed that weaving and now want to buy a Jelly Roll to do it again as all you need to do is sew those into tubes. Another project to add to my list 😂. Hope you are having a lovely sunny weekend like we are xx
@@socarole66 ooh I cannot wait to try jelly rolls! Love that name. Please send some sunshine! It did not stop raining today. It’s utterly miserable!!! 😞 I would love some actual summer weather 😂😂😂
Great idea on how to make the pillow from beautiful fabric that might otherwise have gone to waste! Also great that you were able to salvage your pretty fabric and the New Look top from it. I often wonder how some folks can get so much done but I am slow at sewing although I've done it a long time, partly because I don't want to make mistakes (I do anyway, of course...). The photos at the end are lovely. Sounds funny to hear you say, "Stay cool!" It was in the 90s and humid where I live every day last week - tonight it was actually too cool for me outside without a jacket - weather is a nuisance sometimes!
Thanks so much for all your kind comments. We all sew and create at different speeds, I think mistakes happen regardless! As long as we enjoy our hobby that is the main thing.
I said Stay cool as it only takes one hot day in the UK for people to start complaining about the heat then when it goes cold again people moan we didn't have a Summer 😂. I think this year's weather is all topsy turvy for everyone. Have a great week and 'stay cool' or 'keep warm' whichever is appropriate! 🧵😊
You are so creative! That pillow is fabulous!
Aww thank you so much Lori! Have a good weekend 🧵😊
It's so beautiful. Thanks for sharing ❤
Thank you so much for your kind comment 🧵😊
I have that New Look top and I haven’t sewn it yet. Thanks for the warning! I also have the S8841 trousers pattern. I will definitely have to try it! What a beautiful idea for the pillow ties! I’m retired and I don’t get as much done as some who have jobs and small children! I think they prioritize their time better. Beautiful pictures as always! 🤗❤️
So many people have success with that pattern so don't worry at all, its the sizing I slipped up on. They do have you do the facing an old fashioned way involving slipstitching at the shoulders. I warn you though, mine has never come out perfectly! You may be right about prioritizing time better if you are working, I don't work but I do always seem to be busy with childcare, music and fitness etc, I only sew in the evenings. Thanks so much for watching and enjoy your weekend 🧵😊
Oh I love the pillow! The top is lovely! I hate doing facings! I love the duvet cover/quilt but it would also cut the ties of. Always love spending time with you in your sewing room.
I'm so glad everyone has agreed with me about those ties! I'm surprised to hear you say you don't like facings but maybe as a pro you know better ways to do it, like lining it instead!
Thanks for stopping by xx
@socarole66 I do facings because I have to, but I prefer binding or lining
What a brilliant idea using the ties for a pillow. What in the world was Laura Ashley thinking.you would think that company would know better. I hope you are going add a zipper to the pillow case that you sleep on.
Thanks Anne. I think they thought it looked 'vintage' perhaps but just an accident waiting to happen if you ask me! The pillowcases still had the envelope part to seal them don't worry, no zipper needed. Sorry I didn't show that in the footage, too busy being cross about the ties 😂. Thanks for watching 🧵😊
@@socarole66 👍
Thank you so much for the lovely music & videos at your closure.
I am so glad you enjoyed the video and photos. Thanks for watching 🧵😊
Hi Carole! I would have done the same thing with those straps-why would they even add those? You made a fabulous pillow!!! I love watching you work through ideas-it’s like we are inside your head 😂
I can’t wait to see your old lady blue trousers! And I totally agree with your answer to the new sewing question❤️ I squeeze in whatever time I can- like we all do- it just varies for some people. Beautiful pics at the end, thank you for sharing ❤❤❤
Why why why add something like that onto pillowcases? I mean surely it could cause an accident?! 😂. I am just glad I put them to a far better use. My old lady trousers are all cut out ready to sew and also the blue linen for the shorts. I just need to stop procrastinating this weekend and sew them. Sewing is our hobby and keeps us out of mischief doesn't it! Have a super week and thanks my friend for watching xxx💗
Lovely video, Carole. Beautiful makes :)
I totally agree with sewing time. I am SAHM, and in theory, I should have more "free" time. It's a rare occasion that I can spend a few h sewing without disturbance 😊
Oh Agata I am so disappointed with myself that I had to look up SAHM! I too was one of those and very proud of it, my kids tell me now how wonderful it was to have me around. I know that isn't the trend anymore! I remember like you being on endless committees, helping readers at school and making costumes etc! You do so many things and are so generous with your time for people.
I am my own boss now with my time except for a couple of school picks up and you think I would be able to sew all day but I never end up doing that and just sew in the evenings!! Treasure your sewing room moments when you can xx
Thank you Carole for another lovely video - I found the Malva t-shirt from your channel when you made it and I love it - have made 2 already.
Thanks for watching Norma, I have dug out the Malva to make another T shirt. I can't believe I had forgotten about the pattern! I am glad you found success with it. 🧵😊
Thankyou for your video. I'm about to make the same newlook top so I was pleased to hear the warning. I think I'll make a toile and see how it fits first. I'm going to probably bias bind neckline and armholes, hopefully that will work.
I absolutely love your cushion. Very inspiring x
I am so glad you caught this video before you made your top. Leaving off the facings and just using either self bias or bought edges will be much better. I am going to write a note to myself to do that next time! Good luck and let me know how you get on 🧵😊
That pillow cover is brilliant! I love the weaving-you are so creative Carole! Happy Weekend and enjoy your Doggie time.🥰
I have creative moments every now and again! I am so happy with the result it is crazy. Have a great weekend too 🧵😊
@@socarole66 🥰😻❤
Happy Friday, Carole! Your NL6483 top came out beautifully! Love the addition of the little buttons above the side slits. Home run on that make!!! A decorative bed cushion is a great idea for the annoying Laura Ashley ties. You are so creative and talented, which is why I love watching your YT channel. You always have such beautiful makes! Your makes for your grandsons (like the jackets and costumes) are absolutely amazing!!! BRAV-O for saying that sewing is a fun hobby, not a serious competition. Yes, some people have more time for sewing than others. And some are more experienced sewists than others and can make a garment (or quilt, bag, or whatever) in less time. The YT sewing community is here to celebrate and share each other's makes and accomplishments, and to share craft knowledge/skill with each other to promote our hobby. While I may not be in a period of my life where I can do that right now, I hope to be a part of the YT sewing community at some point in the near future. In the meantime, I can enjoy watching and learning from others, and applaud their achievements. So thank you so much for saying what you did! xx🥰 Dori
Thank you so much for saying I am creative. I do have these crazy ideas sometimes and they are mostly in bed at night! I got so angry with those ties I laid awake trying to think of what I could do with them 😂.
Wonderful words Dori on the sewing community and when you are able, you are going to be a fantastic vlogger, more importantly I am desperate to put a face to the name!!
Sewing is my hobby which I adore, of course I have other interests but it is the one I think I enjoy the most and am best at. I am not in it to improve myself or challenge myself but if that happens along the way then I am happy enough!
Hope all is going well for you 'move wise' and enjoy the rest of your weekend 🧵😊xx
Love the pillow. I have multiple hobbies,etc and am trying to make my items correctly so I cut out and sew slowly. I'm surprised how long it takes me to get something done
Hi there, thanks for watching and your comment. It is so good to have lots of hobbies, I can't imagine being like some people I know and having none!
'It doesn't matter how long it takes, it is the journey' as they say.
🧵😊
Hi Carole! Wow!! All those ties on your duvet cover and pillow cases!! What a flop of a design. Maybe that was they way they were fastened shut in the "olden days" and this was their way to create the "old look"?? Ah well, I would want the ties cut off, too. How clever you were to turn them in to a pillow cover. Good one!
Hi Deb, I see what you mean about those ties, maybe it was to 'add character"!! So glad everyone has said I was right to cut them off. What I couldn't do was throw them away, mind you I'm not good at getting rid of things in general 🤣. Hope alls well with you xxx❤️
Carole, What a great use of the ties - a stroke of genius 😊. Also, your encouragement for all makers was so kind!!!
Thanks Barbara, I was just so pleased I found a use for them rather than throw them away and I am so happy with the cushion! Have a good week 🧵😊
Your top you are wearing looks very comfortable!
I love that bag! 😊
Aw thank you, it is one of most favourite summer tops. x
Hi Carole. I like the cushion you made and agree those ties would also have driven me spare and definitely been chopped off to be reused as something else (probably a cushion). I also have the Burda t-shirt pattern, in fact it’s my go to pattern for t-shirts, although I have modified it a bit as I have lowered the neckline, an possibly the sleeve and body length (can’t quite remember). It’s one of the few patterns which I use again and again and am quite proficient and producing a t-shirt fairly quickly. The rest of my sews just take as long as they take, there’s usually no hurry. Looking forward to your next vlog. Take care and bye for now ☺️
Hi Ann, so far NO ONE has said I should have kept the ties so what on earth were Laura Ashley thinking with that design! It wasn't clear in the stock photos either or I wouldn't have ordered them. I was really interested to hear you like that Burda pattern. I have now finished it with a bit of tweaking here and there, I really like the neckline actually. T shirts are such a quick make for me too and a real palette cleanser after something tricky.
Hope you have a good week and thanks for watching as always 🧵😊
Hello Carole,
I also make the Burda 6820 and the curve between my waist to my hips is way too round. It's like an hourglass. It just flaps around my hips. I adjusted them to a straight line. That may not be the intention of the pattern, but I do like the sleeves and chest. Thank you for your nice videos. I didn't know Lutterloh at all and may never do it myself, but your You Tube videos are great. greetings from Belgium😊❤
Hello Belgium! Thanks so much for your comment on the Burda T shirt. I did spot that it was VERY shaped at the waist so I altered that before I cut it out but it is still tight! I have finished it though and it is wearable now after teeny tiny hems 😂As you say, the neckline is really nice. Glad you like the Lutterloh videos and I know they aren't for everyone. Thanks for watching 🧵😊
I just typed a long comment and TH-cam deleted it as I'd paused the video for too long. I will get used to this technology! In a nutshell I really recommend Pattern Emporium Keep it simple babe tee - I know it's a pdf but there are so many options and the fit is perfect. And the instructions are superb.
TH-cam is so annoying at the moment with comments! It isn't only happening to you so don't worry. Thanks so much for that recommendation, I have never looked at those patterns before so I will check them out. Thanks so much for your comment (and trying again!). 🧵😊
I love the Texas hat. When are you coming for another visit?
Thanks so much! My Hubby will be very happy you spotted that. He bought that 8 years ago when we visited Dallas and Southfork Ranch, it was my 50th birthday treat. As you say, we need to revisit Texas! 🧵😊
This was the highlight of my day, as I am laid up with covid and miserable.😢
Oh, Trish! 😢 So very sorry to hear that you're are down with covid. Obviously, we're not past this nasty bug yet. Will keep you in my prayers for a speedy recovery! 🙏🏻 Miss seeing your garment makes! Dori
Aww Trish. Shall I come over and take care of you ✈️👩🏼⚕️? You both can't be ill over there, I feel so sorry for you as it must be awful in the heat. Sending my best healing wishes to you xxx😘xxxx
@@socarole66 YES you should come over!!!!!! The heT has been unbearable but Im staying in the cold a/c under my blankie!!!
I'm so proud. You saved the LAURA ASHLEY ties. Seriously, that was brilliant! Love the top and so maddening when the shoulders are too big - I feel your pain, that seems to happen to me a lot. But you look fantastic in it. Beautiful blue and white - we are so like-minded! Katie will love her bag - you'll figure it out in no time because you're a whiz at that. Lutterloh is proof! And sounds like you're having a bit of Florida this week. Currently it's 94º with a "real feel" of 107º and 65% humidity. Pretty standard fare for FL - i'm off to get $1.99 patterns at JoAnn's and it'll probably rain. Time for those summer monsoons that run us right off the road. Thinking of you! xoxoxox
With every snip of those ties I felt your eyes beaming down on me 😂. They were SO annoying and could strangle a person in their sleep! If I had thrown them away you would have never forgiven me I am sure. Honestly though, the duvet fabric would make a wonderful dress and I will send it your way in a few years 😘. So we have had 22c and sunny today, hang out the flags!! I bet you would kill for that temperature right now wouldn't you. You need to move North with Trish 😉. I hope there are some pattern sales when I hit Virginia in a couple of months, don't buy them all!
Hope your weekend is cool and breezy xx😘xx
