Great fabric. The mustard fabric would make a great lined wrap with a contrast color at the neck,as an attached scarf , collar, etc. The floral would make a great skirt or tunic top. The cord. would make a great skirt, lined of course. We're others more topper fabrics or, legging type. Either would be great! Can't wait to see what you do with all your goodies. Enjoy them.
Thank you for watching Margie x
So good that you go to your stash first for fabric and patterns. I see so many vlogs with what would amount to a sewing shop behind them and still buying new fabric.
The Nina Lee skirt pattern is similar to the one you want to make with pockets.
Your yellowish fabric would look good in the cardigan pattern you have and it would allow you a pop of colour or grey next your face.
Your coat is a lovely fabric and pattern, you could always hand stitch the buttonholes perhaps.
A really enjoyable vlog👍
Thank you Nancy 😊
Love your Pinterest boards, what a fab idea. That coat is going to look gorgeous, can't wait to see it finished. 😊❤️❤️ Xx
Let’s hope I can pull my finger out and get it done! 🤣
@@threadtherapy251 ha ha I'm sure you will. Honestly I've had a dip in enthusiasm recently too! If we lived closer we could get our heads together and get ourselves sewing 😂❤️
Nice to see you back again. I think your plan for the black and grey fabric sounds good. The taupe corduoroy would make a nice jeans-style jacket - the lack of stretch wouldn't be an issue so much then. I think that floral fabric really suits your colouring and would look lovely as a top. The yellow star fabric could look good as an open cardi - you could then use it over tops that coordinate with it and really suit you - like that lovely floral - and the overall effect would be great.
Great ideas there! Thank you 😊
The grey fabric with birds will make a perfect wrap for now since grey is so in. It will go well with the shirt you are wearing. Make it before grey goes out.
I am still dithering over that fabric! I love it too much to cut into it 🤣
I like the Merlin coat shape which you could make in Camel. There is also the Ivy Skirt which is asymmetrical and you could add buttons as decoration...
I will look that pattern up- thanks for watching 😊
Thank you for your vlog. An idea for your grey bird and mustard fabrics. How about a reversible wrap using both fabrics as the colours complement each other. It would be lovely and warm too.
Oh yes it would, that sounds like a good idea 😊 thank you for watching x
Seeing your yellow star fabric, it made me think of a Bertha Cardigan, with a turtle neck colour you like by your face
That’s a good idea- I haven’t made a Bertha yet! X
Like you, I have SO MANY Pinterest boards AND I have boards on my own computer as well!
I'm rally inspired with your camel coat idea. For you maybe make a neutral camel colored coat then make scarves of different textures and colors that bring out the newest look you desire. I got inspired with your the camel. I have a leopard scarf I couldn't figure out what to wear it with. I think I'll make a camel cardigan then drape the scarf to embellish the look.
For you bird print, what about making a slouchy cardigan, like Simplicity 1108?
Your corduroy is an absolutely gorgeous color. What about making a jacket out of it? Like maybe a bomber, demim or moto jacket?
For your denim fabric, McCall's 7906 may be nice.
Great ideas there! Thank you xx
I just can’t get to my sew room, between the summer garden and other yard work, then squaring the yard away for winter, and expanding my chicken house, a visit to see my parents...it was a very busy summer! I made a few masks, and need to finish some more, and made some fleece jumpers for my Sphinx grand kittens, that is it for my sewing for the past 6 months. Oh, I forgot, I made 5 pairs of lounge shorts for my hubby. Those were fast and fun.
Sounds like you’ve been busy! 😊
Camel coat, funky lining, but plain lapel. The floral would be beautiful, but maybe too precious for lining. New corduroy for bottoms, use the no stretch for a jean jacket
Sounds like a plan! Thank you 😊
Great video I was thinking could you dye the mustard material as it such a lovely pattern but really like the Cardigan idea below. Looking forward to your next one xx
Hadn’t thought of that, good idea!
You could make a denim jacket out of the charcoal denim fabric - it would look so chic in that color and you wouldn't need stretch in a jacket!
That’s a great idea! Thanks for watching ☺️
Hello, interesting that you love pattern but struggle with it on you. When I look at you I see an elegant simplicity that may look best in elegantly simple clothes. Your squarish shoulders are perfect to drape from so the wrap is a good idea will look great. I have similar colouring to you (tho my hair is grey these days😌). I find because my tones are muted a colourful pattern like the floral doesn't sit as well as a two toned pattern like the bird print. Perhaps you could tone down the floral by pairing it with a plain knit, for example use floral just for sleeves or even on the back. I love a bit of surprise back action! I think the bird print in the drapery outer wear would be great. Thank you for your channel, it is definitely one of my favourites.
That’s so kind of you to say Fleur, thank you for taking the time to comment xx
What a lovely chatty vlog Carrie. So nice to see people with Down's syndrome celebrated! I worked with adults with learning disabilities and absolutely loved it, it's so crap that we have this negative ableist mentality! Onto your skirts, if you make the Love Sewing skirt which is just fitted at the waistband, you wouldn't have to worry about the cord bagging (as long as you use a bulletproof interfacing on the waistband). If you are thinking of one of the asymmetric styles I agree that something with elastane would be better. BTW I recently made the Arielle and just angled out the side seams to make it more a line, theres a pic on my insta. And you should DEF use the bird fabric to make a wrap, it will look chic as hell! xxx
😊🙌 thanks! I will take a look at your version of the Arielle for sure! Xx
Love the tatoo, and it's significance! ❤️ Nice to see you again...
I’m a very proud Auntie 😊 thanks Vicki x
Nice to see you back, and enjoying the thought process with pinterest. A york pinafore from Helen's Closet might be good in the corduroy as the relaxing of the fabric won't really matter. It will look good over Mandy tees too! And the denim might make a fantastic Closet Core Patterns Sienna maker jacket- saying so just because that's what I'm considering at the moment!
I’ve not seen that pattern- I will check it out 😊 thanks for watching x
I think the cord would look great in a short culotte such as the Gobi culottes from Itch to Stitch. Style Arc has a nice wrap called the Salma Wrap that would look nice with your sparkly birds. The knit that you don't want near your face would look good in Style Arc's Avary Tunic it's a color block pattern and you can pick a solid in a suitable color for near your face. The black denim would be a very striking coat! All looks fun! Good luck.
Great ideas! Thanks Mary x
Love Simplicity pattern 1108! I made the long duster and I must say, it is probably my most worn make thus far! You can see me wearing it in my video titled Meet my New Baby! I love all of your pattern choices and I look forward to seeing how everything turns out! Great video! New Subbie!💜
Ah brilliant 😊 I will check your channel out too xxx
Sew PrettyKitty 🥰
Love your tat! I’m one of the lucky few too, my son has ds! Xx
Aren’t we so lucky! 🙌🙌🙌
I think I would make a jeans jacket with the corduroy. The new one from Lisa comfort looks good- or you could use the denim- or make two!
That’s a good idea- I like that pattern 😊
I just made a friend a Frankie T from that beautiful flowered fabric with birds on. I made the sleeves and the neckband in a plain tealish colour. She loves it...
That’s a good idea! X
Hi, I made the Nina Lee Southbank dress out of the mustard fabric with stars and I loved it but the fabric pills! I can only wear it around the house now (when I get it out of winter storage!) Really disappointed. Thanks for doing these videos.
Ooh that’s not good! Maybe I will go for a lounge set then x
Greetings from the US🇺🇸. Could you use that black denim to test out the coat pattern you want to make? Just a thought. The older I get, the more I appreciate stretch wovens for pants, especially. Love your channel. Thanks! 😍
Got to love a bit of stretch! I’m definitely one for comfort over style 😊
Camden skirt. It is lined and I used corduroy. It does not bag because of their lining. I LOVE mine.
Another vote for the Camden 😊 I’m definitely going to need to buy that one. Thank you x
A wrap in the fabric with sparkle birds would be very nice. You could use the yellow as a shrug so a top would break up the color near your face although I think it would be fine.
Thank you! Great idea 😊
Andrea from the pink door made a skirt similar to the design that you looking for.
I think non-stretch corduroy is better for oversized button-front shirts, straight or boxy jackets, pinafores, or dungarees that are not too fitted, rather than skirts or trousers. The floral jersey seems perfect for some kind of simple t-shirt or boat tee. I have that Lisette coat pattern to make a wool coat in camel someday, so timeless. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching 😊
I think your cordoroy would be lovely as a pinafore lined with antistatic fabric so it shouldn't bag out as much. Possibly the York pattern. Would also look good with your floral fabric under made into a slouchy polo top. Both are eady makes and even easier to wear. The navy fabric would be great as the slouchy card you mentioned by aisha shay. Hope that helps a little. You're doing a great job so don't beat yourself up about not sewing everything you want. Slow sewing is also good for for your wellbeing😀
Great suggestions! Thank you 😊
Made the coat last year and it's really nice!
That’s good to know! Thanks 😊
I made that Lisette coat with the funnel neck earlier this year - I saved the process of me making it on my Instagram highlights if you wanted to have a look.
Yes! I will check it out, thank you x
I made the Nina lee Camden skirt in bottle green cord and I’m also cutting it out in mustard. I made the skirt slightly less A line - more like the warehouse one as I have a denim warehouse one. Hope this helps 🥰
I think I’m going to have to buy it 😊 thanks for the recommendation x
Could you try the leather trim and buckles on the mustard- I think that would just break the colour up enough near your face x
That’s a good idea 😊 thanks for watching x
I think I AM patterns may have a skirt pattern you might like. Sonia Estep Designs has a couple cardigan style tops you can possibly into a wrap. Also Style Maker fabrics just released some beautiful fabrics that resemble many of your Pin board inspirations. They have shipping discounted until October 5th I believe. Happy sewing!
Oh thank you! I will check that out 😊
You could use the floral as the bottom half of the Discoverer tee by Ellie and Mac www.ellieandmac.com/products/discoverer-tee-pattern. You could put a plain colour near your face then. I’ve made this - it’s a great pattern.👍
Oh lovely! I will take a look 👀 thanks 😊
The Nina Lee Camden skirt has very large pockets and you can always adapt to your liking
I’m checking it out! Thank you x
Look for the Camde Pinafore by Nina Lee, I think. One can sew either the pinafore or a skirt.
I’m all over it! Thanks for watching 😊
check out the fiore skirt from closet core for an asymetric A line skirt pattern and stylearc patterns have brought out a slouchy cardigan . Think I'm with you on the patterned fabric / face front - don't know that it's me!
It’s difficult isn’t it! I love prints on other people! X
I love 100% natural fabric so do not buy stretch fabrics. Some ideas for your skirt. If you line it then it will not bag out so much. Also if you go with a fit that does not hug the body but flows over it that may make enough difference in not bagging out too much. You might also consider a skirt out of the floral with birds and style it with a sweater on the top.
That’s a good idea! Thank you for watching Ami x
❤️👌👍👏💐
I looked it up for you it’s the Nina Lee Camden Skirt
Thank you! 💕
Make an a line skirt, with patch pockets, I think Nina Lee has a great pattern, and of couse line it. I have a couple and they are fine.
I will have a look 😉 thanks for watching x
I was going to suggest the same pattern! Think it's the camden?? Have been eyeing it up this week for some coudroy I have too
I’m off to investigate xx
I wanted to watch your video but I cannot hear what you're saying on my phone is on the highest volume that it will go
Oh dear- that’s a shame! I will look at buying a mic. ☹️
Difficult to hear you even with m y
volume turned up😣
Oh dear! Are you listening on a television? I’m sorry you can’t hear, I will look at buying a small microphone with my KoFi funds x
Very difficult to hear you.. I'm on my computer.. I had to stop watching.. really couldn't hear enough to make it useful.. so sad
Oh shame! Maybe I need a mic 🎤 x
Haya. You have some great inspiration plans there. I have the star jersey, I think the color warms your complexion :) the floral with birdies, I made a NL raglan Tee with it :) The corduroy you could make a skirt with statement buttons down it :) I also have the McCalls 7475 pattern & almost made the pants recently, they are on my to make pile :) & I have the Lisette in my collection, I think that style would look fantastic on you :) Thanku for sharing. x
Thanks for watching Anna! Sounds like we have similar taste in clothes 😊
