Ooh dinner, a show, a stay in a hotel and breakfast the next day, how wonderful. As you were in Tunbridge Wells did you get a chance to go to World of Sewing for a fabric rummage? I read the other day that there is a new fabric shop opening in Eastbourne, I can’t remember the name of it but I think it will be specialising in sustainable fabrics. I love everything you have made, thanks for sharing Cara. 💙🧶🌈🍓

Love the coord outfit!

Your coord set is not too much. It looks so cool!

wow, love that co-ord. Go for it! Which of course you do! I am in France, looking forward to my Ressac kit coming from Andrea. I love Maison Fauve, the French Terry she is selling is gorgeous and so is the ribbing. A little pricey but so worth it for the quality. I am making the Granite sweater, a super easy pattern of hers, but I want to use some "difficult" knit fabric from my stash. Love your vlogs. 🥰

Co-ord is a terrific look Cara! Wear and enjoy ❤

What a lovely way to start my Saturday morning Cara! I'm actually off to Arizona later today for the Thanksgiving holiday with my family! Yay! I haven't seen my son since March and I'm not sure I'll let him out of my sight this whole next week, haha. This week I sewed another Toaster Sweater #1, a very fitted long sleeve t-shirt from Sinclair (sorry can't remember the name) and the long sleeve bishop sleeve version of the Galena Knit Dress from Styla. Have you heard of this dress? For the life of me I can't remember how I even found this pattern. But it is marvelous! I made it out of a Minerva exclusive blue with bright pink leopard spots! I know - another animal print! And I'm going to try and whip up another pair of Léonore Pants by Jalie, before heading to the airport (crazy I know). I'm hoping to get some decent pics of me in Arizona so I can post my makes. Hope you had a great time at the show and have a wonderful week. 🌴😎💛

I think you should wear what you like and not worry what other folk think. Totally agree about why are jumpsuits seen as ok but not co-ords.

Unfortunately the Persephone trousers are not very size inclusive. Also, the measurements are only in imperial. That's always more complicated to get the size right. Having to convert everything is just no fun. I love your Ressac sweater. I am wondering if maybe it is slightly too big hence the too long sleeves in the first one. You seem to have a very pronounced pleat at the shoulders, maybe you have a bit too much fabric there. It's not a problem, its nice and oversized, just a thought.

I’ve only seen Mason Fauv patterns featured on your channel. They are unique, and you sew them and wear them beautifully! You also have a talent to match fabric with the pattern, resulting in stylish and well fitted garments. Do you have to alter the patterns to fit?

Love how we can mix and match our sewn garments. Spring here in New Zealand. I’ve just cut out another Anita Blouse by Style Arc in rayon. Take care over there.

Lovely makes and plans. Thanks for sharing.

Love your Ressac sweatshirts! We’re having some cool weather for the next 10 days, which has me wanting to sew some jumpers. When I was in my late teens, I had a pattern very similar to the Persephone trousers. I made countless pairs of them. Hope you enjoyed your weekend holiday.Happy sewing, Cara.

Love love love your Ressac! Off to Castle Howard tomorrow Lovely to chat xxxx

Love your co-ord Cara. You totally own it! I’ve made 2 pairs of derwents but find I’m not reaching for them. I have enough of the navy ponte I used for them left to make a Jalie Emilie sweater and possibly a cropped Sinclair harper cardigan, so I think I’ll do a co-ord. I’m sure I’ll get more wear out of them that way. Thank you for giving me ideas 😂Have a great weekend 💞💞

So lovely to listen to your enthusiastic vlog. Hope you enjoyed the Show! Enjoy your makes and don’t worry what anyone else thinks - your ‘Bet Lynch’ outfit looks beautiful on you and as you say, fewer and fewer people know who you mean and in this day and age her character should be consigned to the past! Maison Fauve is so chic xxx

Great makes! I really want some of the fabric you made the coord set. What is the fabric type and did it come from rainbow fabrics?

Hello Cara. Another interesting vlog. Thanks so much. Just got home from work and sat down to see all your newest makes. Yes, it really is like sitting across from a friend chatting in a cafe. However, this virtual cafe spans the Atlantic 😊 as I am writing to you from Georgian Bay, Canada. Love the Maison Fauve jumper on you. It looks really cozy. Love the rose and leopard fabric, too. Enjoy your evening out.😊 🇨🇦

😅 wearing my derwents as I watch this!!! gorgeous co ord 😍 you have to wear it all together!!!

Love that jumper Cara, it’s such a lovely design. I really like the bet Lynch coord! Your trousers will be workhorses in your wardrobe I’m sure xx

I cannot believe how much you make, your amazing. Love the jumpers, the colours are great. xx

love your Bet Lynch effect I don’t think it’s too much. Love your trousers all 4 of them xxx

Thanks so very much for sharing your garments! Loved everything, great job!!❤️❤️❤️

Love your comfy set. I'm away in Harrogate with Jenny, did the show today (wasn't as good as the nec) and tomorrow we're off to York tomorrow more shopping, Castle howard and Judi. Hoping the weather isn't too bad 😊

I just finished the Daikiri blouse and dress.

It's funny isn't it, that a jump suit is ok, but seperates can be seen as "too much"?

Absolutely stunning makes Cara. So stylish and wonderful to have such a cohesive collection xx

Wow Cara!! Practically a whole new wardrobe in one week of sewing!! Great job they all look lovely on you!

Hi cara loving your recent makes they look fabulous on you. I would love to give the ressac sweater by maison fauve a go but wondered were to purchase the pattern as I have never tried this designer before thank you and please keep sharing your makes.

Hi Cara , what beautiful makes you have sewn recently ❤❤❤ I bought one of the Singer overlockers from Lidl many years ago as I wasn’t sure I needed one (😂😂😂) it is still going strong. If it ever breaks I will upgrade but it just keeps going.

Hi Cara, great video thanks. Ive looked for LB top but its not free. Am I missing something?

Hello Cara l am loving your jacket it looks expensive. I love the monotone colors and your bestie bag looks amazing painted with your jacket. All of your trousers are really nice too! Cara, girl you went on a sewing spree, which l am striving towards. You are a great inspiration!! ❤❤❤️

I swear you make 10 things for every 1 I make! And they are all just so well made and beautiful. I truly enjoy vlogmas, however I don’t think you should feel pressured to do it every day, I’m sure it can be overwhelming. Live shows are so much fun, was it what you expected? Since I work if film, corporate, commercial, theater/opera I find people are surprised at what happens behind the camera or the curtain 😉

This was such a joy to watch … and those makes are stunning and inspirational how you make use of your time. Loving the sweatshirt but that jacket steals the show for me. Glad you enjoyed my home town of London. There’s so much to see and do and a lot of it is free so do come back 😊

Stunning makes Cara, your neutral colour palette works well with your colouring. Love the sweatshirt. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you Cara, will do 😊❤

Loving your colour palette change you are glowing xx

Good morning my name is Janice love your blogs To fix your overlocker you put three different colours on and you can go from there to get your tension right

Your Dandelion jacket is so elegant and I love your Ressac sweatshirt! You look lovely in your neutral palette capsule wardrobe. I have made a couple of Barrington tees for myself and some tees for my great nephew who was born on the 9th. They are size 6mo. so I’ll wait a while before making the matching joggers. Because vlogmas is a lot of effort, do what works best for you. A weekly video answering 5 questions and perhaps give a sewing tip, or suggestions for patterns, notions, or tools? Happy sewing, Cara.

Lovely makes! Thank You for the inspiration! Love your sparkly personality!❤

Gorgeous makes. The jacket is stunning. I have the Dandelion jacket pattern and have been itching to make it. Can I ask, does it have to be lined?

I love vlogmas, but I don't blame you at all for keeping your advent calendars to yourself. I love your tonal wardrobe, although I don't trust myself in cream, I can make a mess with anything, and taupes and beiges do not suit me. I do love your Dandeliuon jacket and will definitely head over to Maison Fauve to check out the fabrics and the new Ressac pattern; I really like the style lines on the sweatshirt. I used to have a hat very similar to yours when I was a teenager (a very long time ago), so cute. I am currently making a Constellation Hoody (Love Notions) and a Southbank Dress, love that pattern, this is my third. Next in line is the Charlie Sweater. So much to sew, so little time.

I sometimes get the same "smiling" seams on my Singer overlocker. What I found was re-threading it and ensuring the thread is pulled through the tension discs seems to fix the issue. Simple I know but I hope it helps you x

What a great video. Loved it. Quite inspirational. Love your outfits and what a wonderful jacket and sweatshirt.

❤❤❤

Love the term "enabling" garments! I just made two pairs of enabling black trousers. One in Ponte, quickly followed by stretch corduroy. I put a yoga waistband on both which makes them secret sweatpants. Used the Love Notions Duet pattern, I highly recommend it. Your monochromatic look with different textures looks so chic and cozy!

Lovely vlog Cara! So many of us wait each week to see all of your amazing makes and how they fit into your daily life. They are always so gorgeous, elegant, stylish (like you) but very wearable. I really like the "Question of the day" idea for Vlogmas. Maybe you could do those on Instagram and 1 video a week on You Tube, to cut down on the time requirements? I'm finally back in the sewing room, yay me! I've made the Éleanora Pants by Jalie (LOVE LOVE them), the Chess Club Trouser by Gertie (Charm Patterns), the Alana Dress by Sinclaire, the Dana Point Top by Itch to Stitch, and for my 'For A Gift To November' entry I made 6 reversible quilted placemats and a small table runner. Phew. As I am saving for our UK trip in the spring, I am forcing myself to 'shop' my fabric and pattern stash! Oh Cara, I have an excess of both (what a spoiled sewist I am!). But we always want the new shiny things we see, don't we? Can't wait to see your party dress! Have a wonderful week. p.s. loved seeing your time out in London.😊

Thanks for sharing Cara and what a wonderful weekend you had last week. 🧶🌈🍓💙

Great makes!

Wow! where to start? all amazing makes, you look so chic and the London trip looks fabulous. 🤩

Loved your video and your new colour palette is so chic and suits you.I had to pause you at one point to go off and buy the sweatshirt pattern ,the last one, from Beyond The Pink Door.I have fallen in love with yours and look forward to making it! Oh and yes Cara I have ordered 4 meters of that glorious ponte from Cloth Control.Your Southbank dress is great I love it, I think watching you is quite dangerous😂.Thank you for a thoroughly enjoyable video❤
