It is so nice to see someone who troubleshoots and works on their machine and who doesn't just run to the repair shop or find a random man to work on it. Not sure why some think all men know about sewing machines and are mechanically minded. Having repaired and refurbished many sewing machines, I tend to cringe when someone says they gave it to their husband to fix.I have repaired many machines that their husband "fixed". I have even repaired a machine that went into a shop for a routine service and came back not sewing. It is much better to work on them yourself if you have any sense of logic and spatial skills.

The adjustable trousers are brilliant.

Excellent tutorial, I'm halfway through my shirt and doing fine. The instruktions are good too, but with these videos we are sure to succeed!! Thank you!

Great year end wrap up. I appreciate your energy and the fails. I would buy a booklet, pdf or e-book of various waistlines. Many of us have the pants pattern that fits us best. What type of thread did you use for your silk crepe pants? If a poly blend is it contributing to the silk wear and tear? I enjoyed your podcast with Tina V.

I would love a waistband hack book!

Yes please to the waistband booklet! That would be amazing!

Yes please do a booklet on adjustable waistbands please!

Thank you. Finished and LOVE THE FIT. So comfy. Made with cotton lawn and the flow is fantastic ❤

Amazing idea!!!!

I have the pattern cut out and I cant wait to start. I have at least two fabrics I need to try... probably more. 🥰🪡🧵✂

36:47 I keep looking at the pocket bag. Don’t you want the right side fabric to be on pocket inside?

I'm so excited to make these! I know the pattern recommends a light-weight woven, but do you think a lighter weight denim could work? Thanks!

So creative. What kind of dye did you use for your teal dress? Thanks.

Making adjustable waists are so practical but they need to be easy to do up and undo . The other idea is control tummy panels for mum tums using some type of control net like power mesh that they us in swim suits.

Love the language around not gendering clothes! ❤

Hi, I’m new to your channel. Enjoyed your approach of making something just for fun. Adjustable waistband options are great idea. I’m working on a fall wool jacket. I’m taking my time to get the fit just right.

I just pulled out a sewing machine that had been sitting in my basement for an embarrassing length of time and started sewing things over the Christmas/New Year's break. I stared off with blankets, capes, and skirts for my kids' dolls and it was so fun! Then I came across Carly B on RUclips talking about your magic pants, so I watched your sew-along videos. I think they're a little above my skill set at the moment, but I would looove to see if I can progress enough this year to get them made.

Nice fabrics

Fabulous video! Thanks for sharing!

would like to see that adjustable waistband set

Oh wow. L love the black and white Tshirt. Really into adjustable pants. Working on my next magic pants. Excited about your new ideas. I'm getting my sister's fabric stash and hoping for something tto make an endless summer shirt with. Thank you for all of your inspiration.

I loved hearing about your 2024 makes!

This is the first time I have seen your video, really enjoyed it. I'm really into zero waste patterns at the moment. Happy new year 🎉

Wonderful projects! I love your ideas for more comfortable waistlines for pants, and wondered about expanding them to skirts. I find skirts to be just as uncomfortable as pants - the waistline can bind the same way- after a nice meal😝 or simply by sitting down. My favorite project this year was reworking- upcycling- a denim dress that was my mother’s. After she passed away, I inherited most of her wardrobe, and much of it she actually never wore. It was poignant to find these pieces that she liked enough to buy, and probably saw them as adventurous styles - going out of her comfort zone- but never got the courage to wear them. I loved learning through this discovery process how my mother wanted to see herself- where she wanted to take her personal style if only she was brave enough. So I took this sheaf of a denim dress- v-neck with zipper down the back, midi length, and Princess seaming- and made myself a denim vest and skirt from it. I love the pieces! I can hear my mother- who taught me how to sew- saying “oh, those are very nice pieces!” and being proud of what she taught me.

My Sagebrush tops are my favorites.

This was very inspiring to see how you adapt and experiment with patterns! My favorite make this year was a pair of black and white plaid pants (you would like the color scheme!).❤

Loved your video. Appreciate the honesty on what worked and what didn’t work.

I have just came across your channel and subscribed ❤ looked on your website… LOVE the Magic Pants pattern!! look forward to binge watching your videos 😘

Yes please to the waistband hacks. 2024 was mostly knitting and crochet for me. My favourite sewing project was patching jeans to wear in the garden/for housework and cutting some down for gardening shorts for my husband. I enjoy extending the working life of things. So lovely to see your gorgeous kitten. We lost our 19 and a half year old tortie just before Christmas. Tina looks just like her when she was young.

I vote yes to waistband hacks, too. Your year end summary vid is so inspiring!!

I do have your magic pants pattern but haven't gotten to make it yet. I'm trying to learn more about pants making and adjustable pants making next year. Yes, I would be interested in a book of waistband hacks. Fav make of the year: Muna and Broad waikerie blouse made more into a jacket w brown striped corduroy. I wear it all the time! I'm going to run over to your website now.

Very clever alteration!

So glad I found you! I love the constant tinkering with the adjustable waist band, that's always on my mind as well. Also, I'm loving the categories! ...oh yeah,😆also...I may have to copy that black and white shirt you drafted...I melted into a puddle as soon as I saw it...oh the sweater too lol...ok I'll stop now...

Thanks for sharing, i like seeing the wins and the fails :) my fave makes were ella harps work dress, the solstice dress and top by folkstead and your magic pants :)

Mate! ….I could hang out with you all day, every day and just “inspo “ ideas off you.

Babe!!! You are so freaking inspiring and cool. Truly hope to get to make with you again soon. (P.S. it was your round up video from the end of last year that finally got me to make my own!)

i really like the shape of the second ajustable pant. is there a pattern ? or one similar ?

Thanks for making this video. Its lovely to see an overview including 'fails'. Im hoping to make a quilted jacket this year, as well as some adjuatable waist trousers! So I will keep an eye out to see if you do a set of adjustable waistbands! 🎉

Love your creativity!

Nice video i'd like to enter to win a pattern (digital as i come from Europe !)

I like that adaptable waistband idea! Yes, make a little booklet or something. Thank you and Happy New Year!

This is the first video of yours that I've watched and I really enjoyed it! My favourite make of the year is a Donny shirt in a flowy fabric with artichokes and chard on it, like a luxe gardening shirt.

Omg yes please to the adjustable waistband booklet!!

Just found you, and I'm so happy I did!!!

Great video! Love your experimental makes. ❤

Exciting video! I love your creativity and enthusiasm! Thank you for inspiring me to continue to push myself to make really unique garments. Love it!!!

Can i use tricot???

Beautiful drawings!

I have the same problems with knitting sweaters! I blast through the body and then it takes me a year to do the arms, especially if their is a pattern, because I have to modify it because my arms don't get smaller until after my elbow. Also it would be great if you would add your website address to your youtube About page. I know it's easy to find, but thoughts. :)

The waistband instructions Idea Sounds lovely❤ Ich made a Splitside skirt this year i love wearing cause it fits me No Matter what Part of the month
