Hi Carrie just nipped over from Charlie’s Stitchery. Mainly because she said if we wanted to make things then to pop over. So here I am. Need to make a pattern from a garment that I have worn for so long it is now very threadbare off to make a coffee and will be right back.xxxx

7:40-9:35: I appreciate your thoroughness in pointing out the stitch icons and explaining their functionality. Thank you for providing such detailed information.

I love the embroidered linens! It would be super helpful if you would add the Etsy shop you mentioned to your channel links, as I'd love to see what you turn these into!

Your cat talks to you like mine talks to me! Mine is black/white, a tuxedo cat. I love the old linens, but sometimes if you buy them online you get odors and sometimes it's hard to get rid of them. I will only buy them now if they say no odors. I have learned!! Ha! I did see another You Tuber who said for stains, she put in the sink some Cascade dishwashing liquid and Biz with the hottest water and let it sit for 20-30 minutes to get the stains out. I tried that on some and it worked. I couldn't find the Biz, so I used Oxi Clean powder instead of and it took the stains out. I have some more I need to do. I love the old linens, they are so pretty, and thanks for the advice!!

So sweet that you call the linens your cat’s using as “my stuff”.

Love the one with the pink rose

That is helpful -- thanks! A question, and sorry if I missed it, but does the direction of the stretch when sewing on knits? If so, what are some of the best ways to think about putting different pieces together?

Wow super cute ..you girls are definitely creative love watching both of you

This was a perfect tutorial because had you not demonstrated the armhole measurement, I would have done it wrong. Great info!!

Love the colors of the sheet.

Love it great idea

The blue rick rack shirt is super cute

Is your kitty right Twix or left Twix? 😂 🤪 your outfit is cute!

HEY kislux !! I have been watching you for years and im so proud of where you have made it! I love you so much! Also thanks for making my day <3

I collect vintage sheets which I turn into PJs for the grandbabies and myself.

What do you use to remove stains like you show here?

Nice finds! I agree with repurposing. ❤ Thank you for sharing. What is the name of your Etsy shop?

Wow, first time viewing your channel and you are so talented. Such cute outfits! You keep smacking your fabric - is it misbehaving? 😆😉👍🏻

Carrie, How DO you get the stains out! I hesitate to buy linens with stains because I haven't been very successful in removing them. Thank you.

Great tutorial

😍😍😍

When I was first married, I made lovely curtains from sheets!

I could not find that one piece pants pattern that you showed. Can you let me know the number and if it is out of print? Thank you!

how do you determine grain on sheets? LOVE the channel btw

Is the Simplicity pattern for the no side seam pants still available in stores? Tia

Your video is so inspiring! I thrift sheets too, and love your beautiful makes. Please do more videos like this.

6:40 The pants pattern is impossible to find!! Love your thrift finds!!!

Great ways to use sheets! You did a great job matching patterns to the fabrics. I enjoyed this video.

I always look for sheets while thrifting. They are great for clothing and lounge wear and I use them for quilt backs.

I have the same tree skirt...I love it and use it every xmas

Oh my goodness the cherry pillowcases are adorable! Absolutely perfect for shorts!

I thrift sheets all the time for practice and end up wearing a lot of them. I wish you would have tried them on!!

Thank you for all the inspiration for using old sheets!

I swear I have seen all of these in my mums laundry hamper when I was a kid in the 90’s

Such lovely linens! I can’t wait to see what you sew!

I'm excited to see what you do with that round tablecloth, specially if the stains don't come out. I think it would make a beautiful wrap top too, but it would require some smart positioning of the pattern pieces, which will be fun to see.

I just made a circle skirt from a 1960s sheet. I’m short, and the sheet was large enough that I was able to get a floor length skirt without a seam. I started middle school in 1969. I am in love with textiles from late 60s through early 70s. It’s always a joy to find those sheets. unfortunately, this sheet had a little polyester in it, but since it won’t be tightly fitting my body, it likely won’t make me hot. No, you can make a half circle or 3/4 circle skirt if you need to remove a stain. I don’t like cutting up some precious handwork but much of it won’t get any love in a drawer. I do have textiles from other countries which are of a type that are no longer practice, and I don’t cut them. I imagine myself a textile collector on a very small scale.

What a darling blouse. Thank you so much for the inspiration! Gives me the confidence to try something similar.

how did you do the bias binding for the sleeves? it looks seemless

I came from your sisters channel and have now subscribed to yours. I wish I could sew . I want to try as I loved the shorts

Refashioning large men's shirts is just the best. I just love reusing the button placket and cuffs and all that. Plus, the material is often really nice. Thrift stores are full of quality/brand name men's shirts, whereas good quality stuff for women is very scarce.

Cute! Too bad about the focusing issues.

Good video well explained as not all are. Thank you

Super cute!!

I have been looking for a video that does just this. At my age I just don't feel comfortable with bare arms! I wanted to buy this fabric at Joann but the strapless look turned me off. I knew some brilliant seamstress would have a solution. Thank you.

I am So frustrated. I have a singer 2277. I have tried all of your tips tricks videos. I’ve changed stitch length to 3-4, tension from 5 all way up to 9. Stretching flat as I sew , tightened and loosen bobbin casing, light weight fabric and still it is not working fabric shir is loose and or top thread popping ? Do you have any suggestions or does some machines just not shir?

All dat kisluxbag bags sssssoooooooo gorgeous

I got your info from your sisters channel 😊

A tip to make the sleeves come in a bit more if you done want such a wide neck is to use 5.5 inches for the square cut out instead of 4
