My favourite makes for my me made capsule wardrobe | Intro: I sew and knit my own clothes!

These are my favourite makes from my self made capsule wardrobe. I'm trying to think consciously about what I sew and knit to make sure my pieces fit my style, and my life! I've made these patterns multiple times and in this video I talk through what worked well, and what I'd change next time.
Patterns in my video as requested:
- Ottoline Jacket by Merchant and Mills
- Everyday Waistcoat by New Craft House (I'm also currently designing a waistcoat sewing pattern - they're so wearable and fun!)
- Truss Cardigan by Brooklyn Tweed
- Bloomsbury Blouse by Nina Lee
- Harlene Dungarees by Merchant and Mills
- Helene Jeans by Anna Allen
- Zero Waste Gather Dress
- Hattie Dress by Merchant and Mills
- Holiday Slipover by Petite Knit
And a self drafted tote bag!
I'm not associated with any of these patterns or designers, I just like them!

Thanks!!

[@making.history]

Love your style! Glad I found your channel :)

[@threadandyarn]

Thank you! Glad you're enjoying it ☺️

[@katewhyte6274]

Thanks for talking through your favourites, that's interesting to hear. I love the look of your style and nice to hear you so confident about what you like. Its also nice to hear you talking about patterns that I've considered. 👍

[@threadandyarn]

I'm glad you found it interesting! Thanks for watching 😊

[@SW-cu6bw]

Just come across your channel and have now subscribed. I love your style and the fact you make timeless clothes to wear. I love anything made in linen and natural materials. Well, my morning is now to be spent catching upon your videos!

[@threadandyarn]

Thank you!! I'm glad you enjoyed it 😊

[@Heyreneesews]

I just discovered you, and subscribed. You have good taste in patterns and materials. I look forward to watching more videos by you.❤

[@threadandyarn]

Ah thanks so much, I'm glad you enjoyed it 😊

[@erinfifes3271]

Such a lovely video! I recently started sewing and have been a long time knitter and crocheter. Looking forward to seeing the top sts video!!

[@threadandyarn]

Thank you 😊 I hope you're enjoying sewing so far. The top stitching video is on my channel already, I hope you find it useful 😊

[@jenna_gia]

I love your choices in color and fabric, really lovely pieces you've made here. As a total beginner I'd love to see a tutorial on how to make that adorable corduroy bag!

[@threadandyarn]

Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it. I'll have a think about doing a bag tutorial soon ☺️

[@rachelcoleman1267]

I have a blouse with buttons I put it on just over my head do up the button then turn the right way and put arms through sleeves ,also an elasticared button loop may help

[@threadandyarn]

I think it's a bit too fitted for a manoeuvre like that, but elastic loops could help!

[@beatrizfimbres3778]

Love all your makes! Though I had a hard time hearing your voice!

[@threadandyarn]

Thank you! And thanks also for letting me know, I wondered if it might be a little quiet. I'll look into getting a little microphone 😊

[@deborahcohen7070]

Great makes. Perhaps you could hang the garments from the bookcase to show off the whole garments. However i really appreciated seeing the detailled shots as well. Great collection

[@threadandyarn]

Thanks! Yes I'll do more full length views next time!

[@lisbethfarmarbowers6476]

Thank you for sharing your favorite makes. They are all very nice. I didn’t quite catch the name of the reversible vest you made. I would love to make one as it seems really wearable instead of a jacket in the summer. ❤

[@threadandyarn]

Hey, I'm glad you enjoyed it 😊 it's the new craft house 'Everyday Waistcoat'. It's lovely! I'm actually designing my own waistcoat sewing pattern at the moment because I find them such a useful piece, as you say.

[@marywallace5248]

I just love all these makes, you have nailed it!

[@tamarf4596]

Excellent workmanship! I loved the overalls and that dash of color you added in the lining.
Though I have a completely different taste in color palette (you seem to prefer brown-olive-greys, and in general, giving off a muted effect), I can see myself wearing all your designs, in brighter colors.
Great channel!

[@threadandyarn]

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it 😊 I always love to see how people have created something totally different from the same pattern!

[@katieociardha2196]

I love your colour palette! It's nice to see someone using all the earth tones I love too ❤️

[@threadandyarn]

Thank you!! 😊 I can't get enough of them 🍂

[@cindy7702]

love all your clothes and sweaters you've made and happy you showed us your learning errors.. we all make them and beginners need to know that.. good job

[@threadandyarn]

Thank you! Yes, everything has little imperfections, which is normal as you say! X

[@talesfromthewhitecottage]

Lovely wardrobe! I can understand your struggle of seeing beautiful things on other people and wanting to have it even though it might not really fit. But just realizing that this is a thing to keep in mind has helped me so far :)

[@threadandyarn]

Absolutely 😊

[@inMuro]

I found this video looking for merchant and mills videos, in hopes of another maker who likes their fabrics as much as i do. Thanks for sharing your makes! I really liked your Hattie especially!

[@threadandyarn]

Thanks! Glad you liked it 😊 I do love sewing with M&M fabrics and patterns

[@CaitMakes]

Relate to so much of what you said about the sewing journey in general! Gorgeous makes! Added lots of these patterns to my must make list 😊❤️

[@threadandyarn]

Ah glad you enjoyed it! Enjoy the patterns 🥰

[@pollypolygraph]

I love your style. I'm still at the random clashing patterned fabrics stage of my sewing journey. Hopefully I'll calm down as I transition from beginner to intermediate.

[@threadandyarn]

I think that's part of experimenting, and I still do that :) but I think over time I've honed it down

[@Macasmum]

Thanks for sharing, your aesthetic suits me on the farm. I look forward to your future posts.👩‍🌾👩‍🌾👩‍🌾

[@threadandyarn]

I'm glad you enjoyed it 😊

[@maureencullen1008]

Your clothes are fab.I would have loved to have seen what they looked like on.The volume is low so I don't know if your able to increase it.Your colour palette is beautiful.

[@threadandyarn]

Hi 😊 there are a few clips later on, but I agree - I'm going to film another one this week where you can see them full length. Others have also said it's a bit quiet, so I'm getting a microphone! Hopefully that'll help. Thanks for watching 😊

[@SheerStitchery]

All your Makes look so lovely - even if you ran out of fabric on the inside of one 😅.

[@threadandyarn]

Haha, thank you! I might do a little video soon where I go back and fix this like that.

[@SheerStitchery]

@@threadandyarn that would be awesome!

[@michellem.4358]

So many wonderful makes! It would be useful to have a list or links so we can find the patterns.

[@threadandyarn]

Thank you for reminding me! I'll add it to the description 😊

[@lauracruz5965]

Tutorials, please!🏵️

[@threadandyarn]

There's a top stitching one up, more coming soon 😊

[@wendymoloney8702]

Loved watching your video. Could you please advise where you got the pattern for the knitted cardigan

[@threadandyarn]

Hi Wendy 😊 I either bought it on BT's website or ravelry. If you Google it, it should come up.

[@woogies37]

Just found your channel I love your style. Just to let you know I had to turn my volume up full and still found it a little difficult to hear you.

[@threadandyarn]

Thank you - yes, another person said that. I'll invest in a microphone 😊 hopefully better next time!

[@tigger827]

Hi! Love your channel :) what type of fabric is the Gilbert shirt you made?

[@threadandyarn]

Thanks so much! It's Indian cotton with a hand-blocked print on. It's from Cloth House (in London) 😊

[@leasasphotography4067]

You wear holiday slipover right? 😊

[@threadandyarn]

Yes that's it, by Petite Knit ☺️

[@ritathacker3032]

I couldnt hear you. But your makes were very nice

[@threadandyarn]

Thanks Rita - yes others have said, so I boosted the sound on my next videos, hopefully you can hear them better 😊

[@kimpham7846]

I turned maximum volume, but your voice is low which made me hard to hear what you said. Your video has good content, but need to fix sound volume.

[@threadandyarn]

Thanks Kim - yes a few others have already pointed this out. It was my first video and I've made the other ones louder - hopefully they're easier to hear 😊
