That machine looks like it would be great to take when traveling whether on your own of if you go to sewing retreats. Especially if you are flying and don't want to take your bulkier machine. Also love the fabrics. Blackbird Fabrics is an awesome store!
Karon, I LOVE those stripes WOW! Beautiful and unique. Gorgeous cotton voile. I made S8594. Great pattern. I have the Vogue 1883 pattern. I haven't sewn it. The sewing machine is cute.
Grace, I really love the stripes, too. The pieces are a bit different, but I love the quality. I have wanted to sew S8594 forever, and I am excited about making Vogue 1883. Thank you for watching as always!!!
Hello Karon, you choose the most gorgeous quality fabrics. Absolutely, Simply , Gorgeous. You sew so well too. I must check out Blackbird Fabrics. My fav has been Stylemaker Fabrics. Such great quality and I’ve never been disappointed. Happy summer sewing as it’s passing way toooo fast! My fav season. For sure. Happy sewing and take care,,, Nancy from northern Indiana.
Hey Nancy. I hope your recovery is going well. Yes, Stylemaker Fabric is great as well. Trying Blackbird Fabrics has introduced me to another great fabric option. Yes, summer is going well, but I need to sew more pieces. Thanks for watching, and happy sewing!!
Hello Karon, lovely fabric selections.😍 The orange and black fabric is my favourite!❤ McCall's shirt pattern M7838 has cool sleeve variations... view C is similar to the pink and white striped shirt. That Caydo sewing machine is so cute😍
Hello Georgia. Thank you so much, and I am happy you like it. Good suggestion on the McCalls 7838 sleeve variation. Thank you so much for watching. I agree that the Caydo sewing machine is cute.
The orange chrysanthemum fabric would be perfect for early fall, as sometimes you want to reflect autumn colors but it is too warm to wear actual fall fabrics! I think you’ll just love a dress in this come September! ❤
Sun Shine, I thought about this as perfect for fall because of the colors but had second thoughts because it gets cold here. I will keep that in mind when I choose the pattern. I am struggling with a final pattern 😁
Beautiful fabric choices as always Karen! I have made the McCalls 8090 and found it to be very oversized, so I’d suggest a fit check or a toile before cutting into Blackbird Fabric. 😁
From the looks of it I could costume a high school play with that sewing machine which would be handy, having a lighter machine to lug back and forth to rehearsals.
Yes, the convenience of having a tool that suits your needs is great. We don't all want or have the same resources available, so to have a smaller machine that works as well can be a good thing.
Love all your fabric and pattern choices. Looking forward to seeing the final products. Where did you get your dress form? I’ve been looking for something similar. Thanks for your videos!
All those fabrics are so nice and they are definitely "you!" Would the gauzy burnt orange fabric work when it's the beginning of fall and often still quite warm, with a black jacket or cardigan at night or if it's a little cool? The Caydo is cute and definitely something that can come in handy for so many applications - and while I think you are certainly pronouncing it as it would appear to be meant, I wouldn't worry about that - I hear so many things pronounced so differently that I'm not sure there is a "correct" pronunciation for some words!
Yes, the gauzy fabric can work with a light jacket in the fall, but I want to make a garment that is an option both seasons. Thanks for the feedback because I am now rethinking the pattern choice for that fabric. Yes, the Caydo is definitely an option for some projects. I appreciate your time and shared feedback! Thank you.
Beautiful fabrics! Looking forward to seeing your makes.
I appreciate it. Thank you for watching. Hoping to get them competed soon.
You always choose such beautiful fabrics, love all of them!❤️
Deidra, very kind. Thank you so much!

Karon, another hit with the fabrics, especially the first one. Then, the pink shirt style with the stripes is gorgeous. Can't wait to see your makes.

More great fabrics Karon!! I’d love to shop your stash 😊😅
Very kind, Kris. Thank you.
You know sewers love their stash😃
Caydo is cute. She might do well for those of us living out of one room and such.
Yes, always good to have options.
I like that pink shirt with the different stripes!
I do, too. So unique. Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts 🙂
Love that green stripe and I don’t care for stripes!
That's definitely says alot about the fabric. Thank you.

I think I’d make a full skirt with pockets out of the crinkle cotton.
Thanks for your feedback 😀
Love all your fabric and pattern choices. Looking forward to seeing the final products. Where did you get your dress form? I’ve been looking for something similar. Thanks for your videos!
Thank you for watching and sharing your feedback. Purchased dressform from Amazon years ago.
That 8090 great but the fabric is so beautiful ,so don’t detract by doing too many ruffles ,let the fabric speak for its self 🤗
Great feedback... thank you for watching and sharing your thoughts.

All sewers and crafters are allowed to have asundry and assorted Things on the Windowsill. It is Craft Law.
By that statement, I am definitely working within the crafting law 😀😀
So you’re going to use two different stripes for the shirt as opposed to solid and stripe?
That is correct. The inspiration has two different stripes, and that's what is unique about the design.
lycel is another word for rayon
I appreciate the information. Thank you.
