Currently making a little pair for a little girl in my life. The online instructions for the waist band had me a little confused as a first time garment maker but your tutorial was very clear! Too cute!
So glad you found it useful! Thanks for watching ☺️
Always enjoy your vlogs and love the fact that your sewing time is more realistic and reflects how a lot of us sew - it's a hobby we fit into our lives and not about constantly having to make the latest pattern release. Thanks for sharing with us 😊
Thank you so much for watching 😚
I was about to give up on my sewing project oh my god literally thank you
Glad it helped!
Very enjoyable sew along!
Thanks for watching ☺️
Where do I download the pattern
Go to the purl soho website- I think the link is in the drop down box under the video ☺️
So great to see you back!!!! Lovely catch up’ we finished Baby Reindeer last night. It stays with you for sure… not what I expected and so many questions!!!!
I know right?! I’m not sure if I’m glad that I watched it really 🤔
Just watching baby reindeer at your recommendation, am hooked, just a couple more episodes to watch, eye opening X
Fascinating and shocking isn’t it! Thanks for commenting ☺️
Great to see a Friday sews video from you! Your coatigan and skirt are lovely (glad I’m not the only one who leaves hemming not done) And yes you needed Tilly’s newest book. Not necessarily for your children, but your little niece would look adorable in an animal face top.😊 Happy sewing and living life, Carrie.
Thank you ☺️ happy sewing to you too xx
I'm going to watch Baby be Reindeer. My first career was as a fully-qualified Psychiatric nurse. I wonder if I will be shocked?
You probably won’t be shocked in the same way as someone else might be perhaps.
Forgive me for staying the obvious..... Do you ask your children what they would like you to make and let them choose the fabric?
Yes, I do- they just don’t like the idea, they like certain shops for clothes (the two teen girls particularly). One day it will be ‘cool’ again 😂
Good to see you. My oldest girl (18) puts in requests now and steals my Landers and Emmie tees ! Hope you get your hem done 😉
Thanks ☺️ xx
Yes the book purchase makes absolute sense!
Ah good! I needed validation 😂 😂 any excuse to buy a book and I’m there 😂
Nice to see you Carrie. My kids are now in their 30s and love and appreciate what I make for them…but there was about 10 years they didn’t. But that’s okay, I sewed for me during those years! 😂
Yes, it’s a sad time but at least I can do more selfish sewing like you say 🤗
Yes I watched baby reindeer and it was eye opening and showed that this kind of thing can happen to a male as well as a female. I think it was really well filmed and kept me hooked, so I also binge watched it. I then watched spoiler alert with Jim parsons, also a true story, beautiful and sad, had me in tears. Love your makes, love your chat, been with you for years, so very happy when you came back from the long break and am very happy whenever you pop up. Like an old friend. 😘😘
That’s such a lovely thing to say, thank you ☺️ I haven’t seen spoiler alert, I must check that out. Thank you for subscribing for all this time- it means a lot to me ❤️
I always love watching your videos. You are very real and I love that. Our kids are kind of...around the same age. Mine are 11 and almost 9. So same issues with Tillys new book. I felt the same. I was quite interested to hear about Baby Reindeer. I went to watch it and lost interested after the first few minutes but I'm thinking I might give it another go. Love what you make because I quite like your style. So lovely to catch up with you.❤❤
Thanks for watching ☺️ and for being so kind! Xx
It was nice to see you again. I didn’t realize that it was so long since you did the last vlog. I guess we all get busy. Don’t worry about the time between them. Many of us are fairly busy and it’s nice to see you now and again rather than never to see you. I know some people sew a lot of clothes and I wonder how they can afford it and how much they wear.
Yeh me too….and where do they put them all? 😂 thanks for watching! X
Yay, lovely to see you. No apologies necessary, I appreciate that you are showing a true reflection of most people's sewing life and not sewing all hours purely to create content. You also only sew what you'll use, not necessarily the latest trending pattern release. I love your coatigan, it really suites you and looks like a very versatile item.
Thank you ☺️ it has certainly been useful with the weather here being so changeable! X
I bought the book The Fox, the Bear and the Hound (think that's the name) because I liked the coat you made for your son from that book. Our only child is 38 so no young kids but I thought that soon we would have grand children.
Ah yes! The fox, the bear and the bunny. I love that book ☺️ grand children sewing will be lots of fun when the time comes 😜
Love the coat.💖
Thanks!! ☺️
Nice to see you back. No need to apologise for life. Think my sewing will be taking a nose dive what with gardening and needing to start big house jobs but we can only do what we can do with one pair of hands 😉
Exactly! Thanks for watching and enjoy your gardening! Xx
I have missed you! I hope you are well! I homeschooled 3 boys and I know what it's like. Having little ones running around. They're all grown now, and now it's the grand kids. I reached 1K yesterday on my channel!
That’s fab news! Congratulations 🥳
They sell tools for this + this works better than what's made for this. 😂
I tried all other methods and was about to give up as my material was fraying badly, but after using this method it worked a dream. Thanks for sharing.
Glad it helped!
Great bargain haul there, I’ll have to check out my local home bargains 😀. Love the idea of your tiger too and skirt set. Cute zip pouch xx
Thank you Karen ☺️ thanks for taking the time to watch ❤️
Loved your rationales for your purchase....we all do that, don't we😊
Absolutely 😂 we do! Thanks for watching ❤️
Love the tiger T!
Thanks!!
Lovely to see what bits and bobs you found… and boooo to a badly behaving boiler 😠
I can’t wait to have a hot shower 😂 these things usually come in 3’s having spent a fortune on my car I’m wondering what’s coming next! 😩
@@threadtherapy251 eeekkkk quick! Break a plate!
Really enjoy your chatty vlogs 😊
Glad you like them! Thanks for watching x
Learned a new 'word' today Shizzle Very cute :) Love the Lion tp and skirt. That should suit you perfectly and it has inspired me to try something along the same idea
Oh lovely, enjoy! The pattern seems good…..been sewing it up today 😉
Sounds like a great bargain haul, I love the bits in Home Bargains too. With the labels, are they big enough to sew them into a loop then put them in the back of a garment the right way up perhaps? And I'm totally with you for an easy sew with a video to follow along, I've downloaded Sally's pattern too :)
Oh that’s a good idea, will have a play. Love a zipper pouch! Thanks for watching!
Really enjoy your vlogs, look forward to them.
Thank you! That’s so kind ☺️
I love the fabric you got for the bias cut skirt. I can’t wait to see how it turns out. 😊
Already cut it out and almost sewn it up- it’s looking good! Reliving my 90’s youth 😂
Hi Carrie! Great bargain price haul items. The fabric and pattern are lovely. I’m looking forward to seeing the skirt paired with your fab graphic tiger tee. So curious- how did your sweet little niece like the shorts and matching scrunchies you made for her birthday? Happy sewing!
She loved them! Put one pair on straight away……and wore the other pair as a hat! 😊 they fit really well and looked super sweet! Thanks for asking! Xx
@@threadtherapy251that’s the ultimate adorable seal of approval 🥰
What a Friday tonic you are.
Oh thank you!! That’s so kind x
Those shorts are just the cutest and I love the board shorts too. Xx
Thank you Karen! Xx
Have a look at the Soften Studio Clo Bias Skirt.
Never heard of that one! Thanks!
Hi there, Whitney at TomKatStitchery made a vlog (5/12/23) about a bias skirt (Stay Stitch Coco bias skirt). Also Whitney did a demo on doing beautiful hem on it (15/12/23). It was lovely. Nice to have you back on CZcams … from a fellow paddle boarder! Would like to see the dry robe. 😀
Ooh lovely! I will check that vlog out, thanks for the tip!
More fabric needed 😉 love those shorts, I’d love to give them a go… once our endless winter shows any sign of leaving us 🥶 😂😂
I know, roll on the sun ☀️ x
The shorts are so cute! McCalls 7931 is a nice bias skirt. Mimi G also has a tutorial sewing it and some really good tips about sewing on the bias. 🪡👗🧵🥰
I'll check it out! Thanks! X
The DIBY wearable blanket pattern is free and should work well with the teady fabric. Pound fabrics have a good range of softshell, I recently made a coat with some so can recommend it.
Brilliant! Thank you!
Those sports shorts for your niece turned out gorgeous 🥰
Thank you! She’s going to look so cute! X
Love the shorts and a dry robe with the fleecy fabric sounds like a fab idea, have fun
Thank you! You too!
😂 l bought a bias cut skirt too M & S £35 l thought I should make it. Bought McCall's M7931 which has a zip and Mimi G had a sew along which has turned out okay for first toile and also bought Style Arc Genoa Bias Skirt which l've tried but need to tweak a bit to get the waistband fitting better. A sew the spring trends would be fab but only if you have the time! It's lovely to see you so far every Friday 💜
Oooh! I will check the McCalls pattern out. Thanks so much for watching x
I believe Staystitch pattern co has a skirt pattern just like that!
Awesome thanks!
The shorts are so cute! I use that method for attaching waist bands to trousers. It’s easier to top stitch without the need to catch the folded edge of the inside of the garment. And yes you are entitled to fabric shopping for using your stash. Happy sewing!
Happy sewing to you too!! X
I completely agree... you need a fabric shopping trip! Well done on using your stash though 🙂 Loving the seasonally inappropriate makes... It is just being and making sure others are prepared x
Preparation is key 😂 thanks for watching x
I just made a DIBY wearable blanket waterproof for my nephew. I talk about it a bit on last week's Friday sews. I lined it with a fleece blanket . He's delighted at 6 ft 5 the long length of the small just needed length added to the arms (I have an original dry robe that's about 10 years old so haven't made one for me). Shout if you need any more info ! So lovely to see you back on here! 😊
Oh fab! I’ll hop over and have a watch! Thanks for the tips ☺️ xx
Today is the first time I have heard the mention that you do music? As a professional musician that loves to sew, please mention more about it :) Do you sew for gigs? I have to do everything in black, and to blend in , so not too exciting for sewing, but I can choose what makes me comfortable for concerts.
I used to sing a lot when I was young and really enjoyed it- this year I decided that I wanted to relive my youth 😂 I’ve been doing a bit of backing vocals for a local rock band which is really fun! What kind of music do you perform? X
Adorable shorts! Your middle child is 12??? I’ve been watching you a long time! ❤
@@pollydolly9723 I know! Oldest is 16!! 🫣
Wow That is cool.The hardest part is to re-connect for places to sing I bet. I am a 'low woodwind' player, specialized in the largest sizes of flutes clarinets and saxophones in Los Angeles, but now semi-retired and just play the Contrabass flute and bassoon back in my home town, Montreal Canada. My work wardrobe has to be a lot more sedate than yours 😆 @@threadtherapy251
I'm so glad you are back to vlogging. You are so cheery. Love the shorts ❤
Thank you!! 😊 that’s so nice of you to say xxx
