It's great making sewing friends. x
I dont get the comments saying older people shouldnt wear dungarees - I say wear what makes YOU happy!
This remind me of some pants that I had in the 60’s. Love the pattern.
I LOVE that little cover all with the bird fabric and contrasting band, I also think the fit was far more flattering too! I have that pattern myself and not got around to making it yet, so TFS and have a good weekend! 👍💕
Oh , I really like the bird jacket! I like the way it fit on you much better than the red one!
I'm glad I'm not the only one who is a 5ft 1inch little dumpling I say I'm not fat I'm just poofy. I have trouble with the length of my sleeves it's so annoying to have to keep rolling them up I have just made a shirt blouse and yay! my sleeves fit.and don't get me started on my big bust my daughter has nothing up top and complains all the time I tell how lucky she is at least she can do a side zipper up.
I love your videos you have a great sense of humour and you are not afraid of taking the micky out of yourself that shows a lady who says take me as I am.
P.S I think your right about the dungarees
I love the orange blouse! It looks great, you should just shorten the sleeves, it looks great on you! Love your Simplicity 8172- I’m on my way to town to buy it. You inspire me!!, I’m 72 and want to dress fashionably-that pattern is very flattering-I like to cover my back side and my upper arms but I get so warm in long sleeves. I’m a number one fan-you always make me smile. Thank you Dear Lady ❤️
Hi Stella, there's absolutely nothing wrong in being a trendy young 72 year old. My mother used to wear chiffon sleeves on her dresses and though they didn't appeal to me then I can now see why she did. I'm like you in that I get too hot with jumpers and cardigans on but don't feel comfortable exposing my bumps and bulges. And of course there are so many beautiful chiffon fabrics that would look great as tops over a sleeveless t shirt.
;-) x
Oh Michiline, I’ve paused vlog and jumped in to immediately comment on your Jenny overalls. I really like them, they look fantastic on you, the cropped version is just right you and Michiline times have changed any age can wear anything nowadays. Well that’s my opinion and I’m sticking to it. I’ll watch the rest of your vlog now. ☺️
Thanks Mary, it's good to hear that you think the look OK. I do like them and hey it's not me in a mini skirt so I should feel ok wearing them. Chuckle
I love your vlogs, always look forward to them when I receive notification that you have posted a new one!
Now that's lovely to hear. I sometimes wonder whether I should carry on and then I get nice comments like that and it makes me want to continue.
There'll be another video coming hopefully by tomorrow but it's more of a chatty one.
😉😘
Really cute dungarees! Love the fabric and your additional of a back panel.
omg! i love the bird one! now i want to make one. though i don't know what i would do with it because I am so cold all the time that i only wear sweaters! even in the summer. Anyway, as to the overalls, i just need to rant. I think it is so sad that we live in a world where people are the object of derision for wearing clothing that makes them happy! why does clothing HAVE to conform to what society says is "flattering"? What if "flattering" is just a superficial idea meant to make us all look alike. I think we need a revolution and we should all just wear what we love, and if that is "unflattering" than we need to change the definition of flattering. What if flattering was something that made your heart sing, put a smile on your face and a spring in your step, not what made our butts look smaller. Ok thanks for letting me rant :) Loved everything! keep up the good work!
The jacket looks lovely on you !
I really like the Black and the birds shirt. Really better tan The red. Love your blog.
I reckon I would agree with you Judy. I bought the red fabric simply because it was a remnant from France but it's not as appealing as the black version.
;-)
I liked the black & bird kimono top the best. I thought it was very flattering. I think I shall try that one.
It's a quick and easy one to make too.x
Very cute overalls !
I've had pattern 8172 for quite a while. Finally found fabric I thought would look great. Thanks for all your comments on the fit. Decided to do some alterations to the pattern based on what you said about fit. I added darts for shaping in front, shortened 1/2' on both back pieces so it won't be as long in back. I also widened the sleeve by 2 inchs to give a more kimono sleeve. I used Oly Fun craft fabric which is like stiff interfacing to make the pattern.
Hi Karen. Do let me know how you got on when you finally make the 8172. Thanks for watching. xxx
I love the red over-shirt the best. Fun to see your makes. You’ve been busy. So weird to see you on the other side of the looking glass again! Hugs..
These were made before I met up with you Loriann. I had the vlog ready to upload last Friday but decided it needed a bit of tweaking. It's only taken me yet another week to get it right! Chuckle
I'm 65 and I just got the Jenny pattern today so I was glad to see your video. I understand your feelings toward the overalls but I think they look great on you - fabric and all. We might be of a certain age but that doesn't mean we can't wear fun clothes. Channel your inner Betsey Johnson!
Ah Shelley Thanks for your comments. Wow Betsey Johnson now she's someone I haven't hear much about these days in the UK lately. I still have a kids dungarees pattern I bought 36 years ago. They had a detachable bib with buttons and I made some dungarees for my son and daughter. All their friends parents were so envious back in the day. I felt so proud that I had made something they couldn't buy in the shops.
I've just checked her website out and she has some great garments. I'm liking a black and pink dress too. Way too much more than I'd pay but it's giving me 'making' ideas.
Cheers x
I have the Simplicity pattern on the cutting table right now and plan to start on it tomorrow. I have a wonderful piece of fabric that I got from my mom's house and I'll be combining it with a coordinating fabric I bought on Etsy. I'm excited to make it. Yours is beautiful! As for the dungarees - they are adorable and I think people are more open-minded about what people wear these days :) You should wear them!!
Ooh I do hope you like the end resuly of the simplicity pattern. I loved it. 😍👍
Also thanks for the pattern info
Particularly love the red kimono and think the back is flattering........but all the makes are lovely
Thanks Sue. I ought to do some shots next summer to let folks see what they look like when worn with something bright and summery.
😍😘
You’re beautiful, michou!! I feel you on passing all attire choices through the “age prism.” Guess there’s no way around it, because nobody wants to be the object of derision! Your kimonos are sooo pretty, I like the backs with the swooping waistline. Also love the bright orange shirt. I love bargains. You could probably tell that from all my inexpensive fabric!😄
Ah Viv you say all the right things. ;-)
I love a bargain, I always educated my kids to look for the bargains too. Thankfully that wasn't intended to choosing their partners! Chuckle
I absolutely LOVE that floral denim. It would make a really cute jacket. But I get what you're saying about the dungarees. I know many people love overalls/dungarees and the most important thing is to love what you wear, but they're just too juvenile for me. I'm a grown woman. They look cute on my 12 year old though. To the sizing issue, you had me laughing about the "petite" meaning short and slight not short and .... I'm over 5'9" and my height is in my torso. Even "talls" don't quite fit right. I'm so grateful that I discovered sewing and can make clothes that fit.
The birds garment turned out really nice.
I'm very happy with that one Pam.
xxx
Spent my whole life avoiding side zips for all the same reasons. My arms are short and and wont reach round the girls to do the zip, its such a pain. The dungerees are lovely and the back bib's great.
Thanks Susan. Side zip trousers look so neat but I totally agree, they aren't for us big girls.
Chcukle
Hi micheline, I am your age group and think you look great in the overalls! I have liked this pattern for a while and you have inspired me to have a go, also fancy the trousers, they remind me of my misspent youth!
Misspent youth? I'd give anything, apart from my soul, to be able to relive it again. 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😍😘
Those overalls I would take the bibs off and make a pair of short pants for the summer... Love those cardigans on you especially the black one with the birds, it gives you a nice definition of your waist... Overall very nice makes! Thank you for sharing, have a wonderful day! Christine :D
Thanks Christine, I'm kind of guessing the overalls as they stand will spend more time in the wardrobe than on my person so I may do a remake. In what way I have yet to decide. Chuckle. ;-) x
Sending love to you from Madison, Wisconsin, USA. I think I had these overalls in the 70's. Love your videos. So fun!
Madison!?
I love it when folks tell me where they live. I just have to go on google maps to check where it is. x
Lovely fabric choice!!!!
I just made Simplicity 8172 in a very lightweight knit fabric (see through) and I like it; however, I made the extra-large and it was too big so I had to take it in considerably. I will make it again and will cut out the large. It's a lovely pattern.
Perfect Marie. I think a knit version would go down a treat. And I reckon like yourself that I need to come down a size too.
Cheers and thanks. xxxx
I would never have dared to repeat my clothing choices from the 60's-70's. I had a lot in common with Twiggy in those days. I couldn't put on an ounce of weight and now its the exact opposite. You get points for enthusiasm, nostalgia, and creativity Micheline. I love that fabric too, and was tempted, but couldn't think what I could make for myself. I like the flowered top on you. Love the way it looks from the front, but as you say I think there is too much fullness in the back. I would make the first line drawing with the small ruffle at the back, in a viscose/rayon. Love the bird fabric. So cute. I like the bat wing sleeve very much and have made a couple of bat wing sweaters recently, made with knit fabric and they are very flattering for a larger bust etc. Good find in the charity shop. The shirt looks terrific with the flowered pants. Your hypothesis about longer legs doesn't necessarily work. You and I have similar shape, at a similar age, and I am 5'7" but still busty and wider than I would like. But I have to say, that shirt would fit me properly in the arms. LOL~! I prefer making my own clothes too, so I can hide some of the bumps.
Micheline, I'm a women of a certain age and I like your overalls. I'd wear them with a pink tank and a green jean jacket. I have the kimono pattern and u have encouraged me to make it.
The kimono pattern is very worth while trying out Christine.
x
Gosh your videos make me so happy. You seem like such a nice person and are so good at sewing. The dungarees turned out really well. I think they'd be great longer too. They always remind me of that tv show "The Good Life" :)
The Good Life? gosh yes you are right. If I lose weight, as one does in later life, I might make them again but longer of course. 😍😘😍😂🤣😂🤣
I have that same Simplicity pattern. I love the way it looks on you
It's a lovely pattern Sharon. I would love to find fabric similar to the example on the pattern to make up. xxx
I’ve been wearing dungers for years. Mainly on my allotment but also elsewhere because I love them and I am in my early seventies now. Had those closures on one pair but they kept pulling undone when I was working. Changed them to sparky buttons. Much better! So pleased that dungarees are in fashion. Plan on making a few pairs, but my idea is to make them so loose I can step in and out of them.... Willow overalls and the Yari jumpsuit are on my list. I definitely think you are not too old for those that you made. Lovely.
Willow and Yari are both new to me so I really must look them up. Whoah!!! Had to take a minute to check them out. The Willow overalls are Fantastic. The problem I have with the Jenny (and I do like them but...) is that they are so fitted that they emphasis bumps and bulges. While the Willow ones won't. I like the Yari one too. I did download the marilla walker roberts pattern early this year but haven't quite got round to making that one either.
The Willow, the Yari and the Roberts are the kind of dungarees that remind me of my dad when he was gardening or fixing his car. That has memory appeal for me.
Thanks for those suggestions Muriel. I might just give them a try.
;-) x
I do have the Willow and Yari paper patterns. Will try out the Willow on 87 year old friend - who tends FOUR allotments - before making a pair for myself. Not keen on the superwide legs on that pattern. Agree re the Yari jumpsuit, but in the right lary fabric.....!
Just caught up with this video, love the bird fabric jacket very flattering on you!
Hi Michiline 🐱the overalls are cute ! Cute jean fabric I really like the 2 Kimonos thx for sharing !👗
Thanks Anna. I appreciate that.
;-) x
Very cute I love bib overalls, You look great in it. Beautiful red jacket! I would love the bird jacket. Your a great seamstress.
Thanks Charlene. Being older and larger is very challenging when dressmaking so your comments are h=greatly appreciated. ;-) x
Hi Micheline, what gorgeous denim fabric from Cheryl 💝. Your dungarees are gorgeous and you should wear them if they make you feel happy. They fit you perfectly and I think once you have put the darts in the front they will be great. I would definitely make another pair in a plain fabric, just for curiosity, to see the difference and maybe with a drappier material like a linen viscose. I also think that fabric would be lovely as a denim jacket 👌.Your top with the birds is beautiful and again, fits you perfectly 💞. I think the other one just needed to have some inches off at the waist so the lovely peplum hits you at the right point on your curves 👍. Great vlog Micheline and always inspirational and fun 😁💝😘
Thanks Sally you've made some great suggestions there. I've decided that I've made one pair so that will do BUT I might consider another style pattern from another source that is far less fitted. And possible a little more drapey too.
;-) x
Hi Michou, the denim from Cheryl is lovely and I like the back bib you added to the Jenny overalls. I've been wanting to buy S8172. Love both of yours-especially the one made with the bird fabric. The orange top was a fantastic bargain.
Thanks Laura. I'm always happy to find bargains. MInd you I have to confess that I do sometimes buy rubbish and wish that hadn't. Chuckle
Your dungarees turned out gorgeous! You wear them beautifully. You should wear them year around. The fabric you picked works great!
Thanks Amalia.
Your fabric is a winner. Would you enjoy your dungarees more if you converted the trouser part into a skirt? I think you were disappointed not to have made full length trousers, but it's the perfect length for a midi skirt. I hope your do enjoy them more in the summer. Best wishes Sally
Hi Sally, I really would have preferred longer culottes but they worked well in the warmer spring months. 👍🏼xxx
I think you look absolutely fabulous 😍 I’m desperately seeking a plus size overall pattern and would love to make a pair just like yours 👍🏼😉
I really LOVE your video. You're so true wirh your assesments (sory for poor English, I'm german)!
Hi Astrid. Your English is perfect and you are much better than I would be at attempting to write German.
;-) x
Beautiful makes Micheline - love the little birds top. You had me laughing out loud with the needing another 8" comment....I need about 2 ft haha :D
I'm pleased you enjoyed it Kathie. That one is my favourite too.
x
Love the idea of a back bib, I would suggest you make front bib narrower to ride over your bust rather than around it, maybe?.. thank you for the vids, love watching & listening x
Excellent reason for not liking brown! But Iike your overalls. I also like your thoughts on your results.
Thanks Melanie. I'm reckoning that those dungarees, much as I love them, might not be the first ones I grab from the wardrobe at the moment. Chuckle
I love ❤️ this top.
Im 5'8" . I have to lengthen everything! Same issue just opposite directions.LOL. I think you ALWAYS look absolutely gorgeous Michou. I think the overalls are nice too. Im a overall fan so I may not be the best judge but I say, wear them! Maybe a pink shirt/ tshirt would look nice with the brown. Cheryl does pick nice fabric, so wish I were closer to order some but that darn shipping to US! Yikes! Always enjoy your vids. X
And there's me and all the UK sewers absolutely jealous of all the cheap Walmart and Jo-ann fabrics and special offer pattern sales you have in the USA.
We have lovely fabrics but even I am stunned by their prices over here.
😍😘
@@michoumakes true We do have lots to choose from. I may have a slight case of envy too. So many beautiful shops and kind souls in your area.
the dungarees look lovely - summer or winter and the style does suit you :)
Side zips are not good for busty gals! At least with a skirt we can zip it in front and spin it around, we can't do that with pants! I have that kimono pattern, and I love it on you! I'm inspired to make it!
Golly yes. I remember swinging my skirts around to fasten them when they had back zips.
Thanks for the memory. Chuckle x
I love the black top it is very flattering on you. I Enjoy your videos very much.
Thanks for both comments Teresa. The black one is my favourite too.
;-)
Oh heavens you are hysterical so wish I could sit and sew with you I'm in USA ohio. Has your sewing machine been smoking lols :) I'm hooked with watching l iui ke how you detailed the finished project. Keep up the good work. Thanks again
Thanks Kelly. There are times when I think to myself "Why on earth are you vlogging, c'mon girl it's time to stop!"
and them I get lovey comments like yours and I realise why I should continue.
Happy Christmas Kelly. x
Hey, just noticed how many subscribers you’ve got, congratulations! So cute with suspender clips, even if you change out the clips, you look great. Twiggy was so skinny back then . Will you buy more of this fabric and start over? Yeah, I don’t wear quite the same styles these days, but my color choices have stayed the same. Love the bird top, and the orange! My mom is 4 feet 8 inches with short arms and legs but normal torso length. She has always rolled sleeves and shortened trousers and skirts. We just cope with whatever the Lord gives us.😍
Hi Janice, my subscribers are increasing aren't they. I have times when I think " what the heck am I doing this for? is it worth it?"
And then someone sends me a message saying how much they enjoy watching or one of my regulars like yourself show some interest and it makes me think, "come one girl, keep going, they love watching".
Thank you.
XxxxX😍😘
I think the culotte length overalls really suit you! You are my inspiration as I am a short dumpling too. 💕
Thanks Jacqueline. We short dumplings have to stick together. Mind you I was just today reading that the best height for women is 5' 3" so we're close, not quite there but close.
;-) x
Ah well us old birds lose inches as we get older I used to be 5ft 2ins now 1in less at least. The dungarees are great for gardening (bossing the flowers.) ditch the zip and go for quick release Velcro. My dungarees were turquoise cord so warm!
I think you look great in each of your makes, including the overalls! I don't know if they are all flattering or if you have lost quite a bit of weight, but your look quite small-around.
I wish! It's a trick if the camera I'm afraid. I'm still quite rounded at the back but I try my best to disguise it. 😂🤣😂😁😘😍
The dungarees look very nice, I'll have to make them.
They are. I would have preferred them to be down to the floor but sadly I hadn't bought enough fabric.
x
Your orange chiffon shirt would go well with the Jenny overalls. Please wear the overalls you can pick your tops according to the flower colours failing that team it with a chunky jumper over the top.
Wow! I never thought of that!
Well done for suggesting it to me.
And a chucky sweater idea sounds good too.
xxx
Ps please make more videos I love your style!
I will try. Chuckle x
I think you made the right decision about the dungarees, they’d look good in black though...
At this point Sue I've decided that once is enough. But you never know. ;-) x
Lovely makes, dungarees beautiful as are the tops all that’s missing is your confidence believe me you looked lovely.
Thanks Kate. It's amazing how middle aged spread makes you lack that confidence you once used to have.
x
Very nice Vlog! Love S8172 on you! And I thought the back hung very nicely! I think this would look very nice on you in a solid red or navy or whatever solid you prefer. Thanks again - always a joy to watch you.
Thanks Louise
I think there will be more of the S8172 to be made yet. I do love it and once I have perfected all the tweaks I'm sure it will look even better.
;-) x
Love the kimono on you, looks fabulous. Could you salvage the dungarees and make a skirt or a jean jacket from the pieces. I hear you on being short. My leg length isn't even on some patterns !! which is why I haven't tried making any yet.
You and another viewer suggested I cut them up and do something else with those dungarees and youknow what you might have a great idea there. ;-) x
It looks adorable on you
Thank you very much Renee.
I'm just finishing my first ginger jeans and about to cut out next pair. Then onto Jenny dungaree trousers. I think the trouser part fits you well and nice length/ width on you as they are. Were you down in Hazelmere? I hope you managed to get to Winkworth arboretum to see the Autumn colours...
I love dungarees! If you ever send these to charity, please send them to me first! We're the same size except I'm 5 10. I've been wanting to make these bad. I can't find the Denim I need so I never bought the pattern. Thanks for your review. I ❤️❤️❤️them.
Hi have you thought about putting pleats/tucks across the sleeve to shorten and this would add interest, Great blogs, nice to see a sewer that is not a stick. regards Pauline
Thanks for the suggestion Pauline. I haven't tried that, yet.
I once used to teach with a classy Deputy Head who was similarly short in height. She used to wear only designer clothes and she wore classy silver coloured metal sleeve garters (the kind men wear) on her sleeves. I alwasys thought she looked trendy using them. ;-)
Love your vlogs, and know what you mean as a 61 year old you have to get the balance about wearing what you like but not going down the mutton dressed as lamb.i think you are right about a plain colour for Jenny but you look gorgeous in all the others. Just like you I am only 5 3” and slightly on the larger size I should really be 6 foot.
Oh Micheline, you make me laugh!! You are so funny! But hey you are beautiful as you are! I love the look of that dungaree pattern but havent gone near it because I didnt think it'd be flattering however seeing your make I fell in love! I disagree with your conclusion of it, I thought you looked lovely in it! I've now put it in 'i might try it one day if i can be bothered to grade it' pile! I liked what you did with the back, I couldnt be doing with those straps either! Loved the bird top too, may also try that - you're giving me such good ideas as Im rubbish with knowing what suits so thank you!!
Thanks Claire. I kind of get what some are saying about the dungarees because they are fitted and with fitted there's no hiding anything. I would have preferred that they were less fitted around the back waist as that emphasises the bottom but I might still try a couple of other makes that interest me. After all making these clothes is a bit like a meal out or a trip to the cinema. So I have spent what I would have on a meal, had pleasure in making them and trying them on and probably will move on to the next restaurant (er pattern). Chuckle
@@michoumakes i wonder if youd like them with a palazzo trouser instead? Must be easy enough to add a bib to palazzo trousers?!
I also have the 'Roberts' Dungarees by Marilla Walker which I have hummed and ha'ad about. One of my viewers has mentioned two other dungaree style overalls that really appeal to me more because they are less fitted. They are the Yari by True Bias and the Willow by Pipe Dream. They both look cooooool.
;-) x
@@michoumakes Ill look forward to seeing what you make. Have you looked at the Amy jumpsuit by closet case? That looks quite loose, im tempted by that - although peppermint magazine has a free version quite similar....
i like your 2-45 shirt top. you could always make it into a short sleeved shirt at a latter date. as for the Overalls......i think the make is ok BUT sadly it emphasized everything you don't like about yourself and your shape. i thought the bibtop was to wide for you.. sorry. x. i picked up a pair of elasticated top trousers made out of crappy cheap what feels like a nylon. why buy them you might say. well i liked the shape and the fit. and at 5 euros on the cheap rack is cheaper than buying a patten and the P&P so i bought 2 pears 1 has pockets. i miss not popping into oxfame in the UK there was always something good to be had. Good video as all ways mate. XXX
I think I have to agree with you on the Jenny overalls Hazel. They emphasise quite a few things I'd prefer not to show.
Ah well they cost the price of a meal out so passing them on to a charity shop is not a great issue.
;-) x
I personally don't think older women should wear dungarees - unless one is making hay. Think about changing the trouser part into a skirt. Will look wonderful.
Fashion doesn’t have an age!
I don't mind seeing an older woman in dungarees but perhaps a slimmer one. Chuckle.
I have fond memories of watching my favourite all time actress Katharine Hepburn carrying off dungarees even into her 70's. But she had the figure for it.
😘
Your cute as a button! Dress in what makes you happy!
Thank you Isobel. I have always tried to. The trouble with dressmaking is you have to make the garment before you can decide whether it works for you.
😍😘
I love the overalls n you. I’m 64 and plus size. I would wear more.
Thanks Janet. I'm just think a baggier pair might have pleased me more.
Hmmmm!
;-) x
I’m really enjoying watching your vlog. I must say, though, that you are much smaller than it seems that you believe you are. I have a large bust, too, and I find that a lot of styles that accommodate my bust tend to make me look larger overall than I actually am.
When I stand in front of the mirror in some clothes I think "Yay I don;t look that big!" Then I film myself wearing a dress and twirling and I think "Whoah!!! you ARE Big!" I'm actually finding that the straight up and down outfit makes me feel more comfortable. Or when I am wearing something more fitted then a long cardi makes me feel more comfortable. 👍❤
Here in America we call be 5’1” being vertically challenged LOL 😆
Ha ha. That's a good one. Chuckle
Cut the bibs off and wear with black jumper perhaps?
Ha! You read my mind. That's just what I did. It just wasn't doing anything for me what with my figure. Chuckle. x
Shirt sleeves too long.... My sister has short arms also ... So I measure the sleeve as if I were going to make it into a short sleeve, then fold the sleeve and make a seam inside the sleeve to shorten the length...most of the time the seam is not noticeable..
What a nifty idea Mary. Thanks x
no no a thousand times no. Sorry but your sewing is beautiful and you are a very nice lady but they do t do anything for you. Xxx
Thanks Julie. An honest opinion is always appreciated. x
Thanks but not interested in the charity buys. Actual demos of sewing the patterns would be nice.
Not a problem. Some vlogs you like and some you just move on to the next.
I often do that. Demos might be a possibility when I finally find more time to make them. Sadly I work full time so I can't always find a long enough moment to sit down and film like others who have made their sewing vlogging a career move.
One can only dream. Chuckle. x
Very cute overalls !
Very cute overalls !
Thank you Theresa.
😘
