  • 🚨 my apologies for the audio in this video. I have learned so much over the last few weeks, that I realised I don't have much else to f*ck up (audio vise), so I decided to hold my mic like a dummy 🤦‍♀️
    In the last video, we have planned a Casual Vintage Capsule Wardrobe and it is time to start sewing! First on the list: Capri Pants!

      One of my nightmares is the idea of my resting bi*ch face being caught on random videos without me knowing 😅 so I won't do it to anybody else! I had to learn how to do blur tracking in my editing program, and it was worth it! Oh, you're right! I should call it a part 2, shouldn't I?😅 there will be so many parts in this series 🤓😵‍💫

    You can always dye the more comfortable lighter fabric later after you make the garments. Then they'd all be the same color

    Very excited for this series- it makes me want to sew a whole bunch of new clothes. I'd go with the light brown if I were you. I personally prefer the shade of the warmer brown but I think it might clash with the other items and that is exactly what you want to avoid in a capsule wardrobe!

    Very entertaining video and fun to watch.
    If I had to choose, I would go with the lighter brown. The darker one is too orange to me. I still have 1970s trauma from childhood. You always could dye the fabric to get it a bit darker.
    The cigarette trousers look nice, though I would go with a longer length. My budget doesn't allow for separate trousers and capris but that is my issue not yours.

  • @SewingMachineRehab
    @SewingMachineRehab 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    I love the darker brown because it matches what you first envisioned and my brain got set to that color after seeing it so much in the last video. But…I think that the lighter one would look better with black if you wanted to wear the black vest with the light brown pants or vice versa. And the fabric of course is better suited for the items you want to make. I think it will wear better in the long run so your time invested won’t be a waste. Love the pattern…I am going to have to try it! Also, I never want to wear a hat either. 👖

    • @Marlenasewing
      @Marlenasewing  8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Omg, I'm the same! If I were smart, I wouldn't even consider the darker fabric, but since that's the colour I envisioned.. STUCK 😂 thank you so much for your comment and for watching the whole video ❤️🙏

  • @artbymurielle
    @artbymurielle 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I like the darker color more, but if the fabric is not what I want, it won't matter. I would have asked if the store had a lookbook of the fabric that I liked, to see if it comes in different colors and if they are willing to order a specific one.

    @TheKitty1221 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

    As much as I love the warm brown colour, I'd have to vote for the lighter fabric. For something close fitting, like those pants or a pencil skirt, polyester can be very uncomfortable.
    On a side note, I was looking for older sewing machines (just for fun, I'm not going to buy anything at the moment) and there amongst other machine was a Singer that caught my eye, because it looked familiar. A good looking beige/pistachio green Singer 319K. A funny coincidence that out of around 75 advertisments on that particular web page, one of those machines was that one. :)

    • @Marlenasewing
      @Marlenasewing  8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      What a shame you're not going to buy any machines now! 💔 I know the feeling when you see an awesome machine but can't get it💔💔💔 I was so lucky to get mine as a gift!
      Thank you so much for your comment!😃 I think you're 100% right about the practicality of the lighter fabric.

  • @yeahweburnstuff
    @yeahweburnstuff 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

    The warm brown will make a great vest since the colour works well with your skin and the polyester wont be a problem in a sleeveless piece.
    The twill worked out very well for the trousers, so stick to it. My opinion only. 💖

    • @Marlenasewing

    @faeeryn599 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I think maybe the light brown works more all year round, and the more warm has more autumny winter vibes. And yes, that's my answer because I can't choose either, I guess 🙃😆

    I'd go for thr light brown fabric. I also like the darker shade better, but I feel like lighter one will fit better with multiple colours, especially with the mint and pink you got. And I would always choose natural fabric over polyester.
    I loved the vloggy part of Norway winter, please keep it in your future videos! ❤

    I relate to your sewing adventures and thought very much! I think the light brown is the better option.

    These look great! I absolutely love this pattern- made a pair myself, also from cotton twill but the wrong side of the fabric is ‘brushed’ so they’re extra warm 🥳
    Can’t wait to see what you make next!

    • @Marlenasewing
      @Marlenasewing  8 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I actually didn't mention it in the video, but I initially thought I would treat the "brushed" side as the wrong side. It feels soooooo nice, so I thought I would want that against my body. When I sat down to my sewing machine, the "wrong" right side looked a bit weird in the light, so I ripped the darts off and reversed sides. I kind of feel it was a waste of time, as both sides look really good in day light😅 haha well, nobody said I am not allowed to overthink my projects.🙈

Why am I like this. D:

    I really like the warm brown and would definitely make a pair of pants out of it, BUT, not by part of your capsule, but an extra. Use the lighter tan since you can get more of it.

  • @Anna-jq2qi
    @Anna-jq2qi 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Yay! I was so curious to see what pattern you would choose for the pants, and it turns out it is the exact same one I’m finishing up now. I did the facing instead of elastic band, because I had no idea 🤩 I’m gonna try that next. On me I feel that the waist sits a little lower, so I want to extend the pattern pieces a bit. I would like the pants to sit on my natural waist. I have sewn several ultimate pencil skirts, so my plan was to use the waist on that pattern to extend the pants a little bit 😊
    As for the colour, I vote for the beige for the pants. The warm brown is lovely, but if you don’t like the quality you probably won’t wear them as much. Maybe save it for another piece of clothing? That doesn’t need structure like the pants do.
    Love love love this series of yours! So inspirational!!❤

    I don’t like going out when it’s 30F. I can’t imagine going anywhere in that type of cold. But it was very beautiful there! You should try the Top Down Center Out method of pants fitting. It was in the summer 2022 issue of Threads magazine. It makes pants fitting with any pattern so easy! All you have to do is make half a toile, so not even wasteful of fabric.

    👖 First, wow, -30 degrees Celsius is crazy cold but all this snow is so beautiful. It must be really awesome on a sunny day. ❄️
    I’m also voting for the light beige fabric. I like the idea of a basic capsule wardrobe but I hope that you keep on wearing colours and patterns as well because they look great on you, for example this orange-red jumper or your green-flower dress. By the way the „impulse buy fabric“ is so cute and you definitely should get the tea cups. 😄🙈

    The beige is more of a spring colour and the cinnamon is more of a autumn colour. The cinnamon suits your complexion more. But if you plan to wear lots of colour the beige will act as a good neutral to compliment the colour.

    I vote for the beige/light brown fabric because it has more natural fibres. Also it is the epitome of basic.😅 I get why you like the darker color though and I cross my fingers that you’ll find fabric that also fulfills your other wishes. (For ordering fabric online: some send out swatches, so you could feel the fabric before buying more.)

    Good morning Marlena. I really enjoy seeing snippets of your life in Norway. My husband is very keen to live there but.... I'm not convinced.
    As an Italian and I wonder how enjoyable it really might be. The nature is breathtaking! It would be wonderful to have some stories about how and why you chose to live in Norway. My personality seems to be similar to yours and I've heard that Norwegians are very introverted.
    Anyway, I'm so glad that I found your channel.
    Baci da Londra! Antonia

      @Marlenasewing  8 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Ciao Antonia!❤️😀 Thank you so much for your comment!
      This topic could be a whole book, so I will try to keep it short.
      If it weren't for my Norwegian partner, I would have moved out of Norway long ago. No hate to Norwegians or the place itself. It definitely has its perks. Especially when it comes to safety, childcare and health. I also love the rich culture of handcrafts here. Almost every lady at my work knows how to knit!
      However, the bureaucracy is definitely from the German school of thought, and it can be a bit overbearing.
      People can be difficult to break the ice with. Especially if you are just learning Norwegian, most people here are not very enthusiastic about helping beginners out. I was honestly scared to speak Norwegian as a beginner because of the unpleasant reactions I received. Once I got to a more advanced level people became more friendly, but I guess I have a bit of residual mistrust towards them because of the tough start.
      I also hear a lot of bad opinions being expressed about foreigners at my work by Norwegian colleagues. It's not that fun.
      If I were you, I would stick to my guns and stay in Italy. I understand that life can be rough in Paradise, but there is no place in Europe more beautiful than your country ❤️❤️❤️ I hope I will get to visit Italy soon!

    Can you dye the light fabric to the color you like???? Oof, -30c/-22f is about as cold as I've been hiking here in Alaska. But I have repurposed old fur I've found in thrift shops into new things. I try and use all of it to preserve as much of the fur as I can. I'm of the mind the animal already gave its life and its better than the fur going into a landfill. Also its cold here and ita good to use it for the purpose it was meant to serve.
