Your joy is palpable - and I couldn’t imagine starting a better way to start my morning than watching you makes some colorful patchwork 😍
I’m a quilter and I accumulate a lot of scraps from my different projects. It’s overwhelming but after watching your video I’m actually excited to get done with my latest project and hopefully be able to make something coordinating like pillows or a table runner or even pajamas from any left over scraps!
That's amazing!! Ohhh I hope it goes well. Using scraps is the best feeling!
HI everyone!!!! I hope you're having a great week!
I am an experienced seamstress and enjoyed every minute of your tutorial. You are such a sweetie and giving out the best happy, creative energy on your channel!! 😊 gr8 Job!! 🎉
aw that's so lovely!! Thank you for watching & for your encouragement!!
Thank you for making this video, I’ve been sewing for a while but I’m not very good, I get scared of trying new things 🙈 I really don’t know why but I do! It’s nice how you show all the steps and don’t be too strict with how you do it all. My dream is to make something like that beautiful huge patchwork dress you made, I’ve never seen anything as gorgeous in my life! Maybe one day 😂
Thank you for this video! New-ish fan of your page and this is going to help me so much. My mom was an avid quilter and I inherited her sewing supplies so I’m keeping her legacy going by learning to make clothes and someday quilts, too. Learning to patchwork with your video reminds me of my mom putting together squares and triangles of fabric while watching tv to creat incredible masterpieces. I can’t wait to get started. Cheers from the USA!
Ah thank you so much for watching!! How special to have her sewing treasures! Go well with your patchworking, sending love!!
@@fromcarlyb thank you so much! Aww
yesssssss get those sponsors girlllllll
What a happy coincidence, I was scrap piecing fabric all day today and you have managed to inspire me and even teach me new tricks 😀 Love your enthusiasm and passion ❤️
I LOVE IT!!
when I am creating my patchwork pieces, I always set down my stitch length to 2 or less, and it prevents unraveling my stitches + it is so pleasing to watch your enthusiasm for patchwork, I love it to 🙂
That's such a good tip! :)
SO SMART!!!! Gonna do this next time!
Congratulations on being sponsored again!! 🥳 I’ve signed up for the free month on Skillshare, so thank you very much! 💐 I’m still finishing the lap quilt for my mother in law, but dreaming about making the happy skirt very soon! Take care lovely, Deb xx 🤗💕
Okay I'm now so excited to start this, because of your excitement
YIPEE!!
Oooo thank you for the inspiration ❤
I love your passion in your videos and can't wait to start my next own project 😊 I'd highly recommend checking out some blade roller and a cutting mat options - those make somehow the life soooo much easier! Lots of love ❤️
Yay a new video to watch on a cold morning taking my son to school on the bus 😊 looking forward to getting my sewing machine out and practicing using it, making patchwork ❤
Carly! Congrats of the sponsorship! 🎉 great news! I enjoy patchworking so much but sometimes struggling to keep everything even.. like sth sizes of squares etc. but after today I might just give my brain a break and do sth more crazy with my full freedom of sewing 🙏🏻 thanks for the reminder, the mess could be good too! Love from Poland❤
Thank you so much mate!! I appreciate it!! Oh absolutely - it can be so tricky! The free patchworking is wild and so fun!! Messy ain't always bad hehe! sending love
I love your personality and the way you attack the projects! New subscriber and so happy I am!
awh HEY!! thank you for being here !!
You and Afrayed Upcycling inspired me to start patchworking a while ago and I am absolutely in love with the dresses and skirts I‘ve created so far! Thank you for being an inspiration! Keep going 🎉
Ah! I love this! I’m so inspired! Thank you ❤️ I appreciate that you mentioned not to worry about it too much, I feel like I always get too caught up on that
i love patchworking 💕💕💕 i’m working on putting some offcuts from my job as a tailor together to make a pair of pants. loved this deep dive into how you put your fabrics together!!!!
It's the best!! Oh that is SO COOL!!!! I hope the pants come out great!!
i haven't watched it but judging based on the title this is exactly the video i was needing!!! i love your videos and have been rewatching the old ones while waiting for uploads hehe
this is really cool, thanks! I have a bunch of scraps I want to patchwork to sew foldable bags to gift at Christmas :)
Love this - so inspiring! I've been patchworking a bit but completely handsewn (because I'm bad luck with a sewing machine :P ). It's such fun!
handsewn!! you are incredible!!!!
You're so positive :) thank you for every video
Thank you for watching!!
Loved this and your enthusiasm ❤ I want to run off and patchwork all the things now!
Love this little guide! I’ve made a couple things with patchwork before but didn’t know any of the terms. Will definitely be looking at a couple quilting books at the op shops. I’m working on finishing some ceramics this week to hopefully get in the community kiln tomorrow or Saturday 😊
I can't wait to try😍
Great work! So neat! 🎉❤
Loved that energy
loved this tutorial so much 🥰
I'm so glad! Thank you for watching!
Hi Carly 🦋🌸
This is so helpful! I learned a lot from your video and love all the different ways to patch-work that you covered! I think patch-worked pieces look so dang cool and interesting!
Do you find that for patch-working of both small and much larger pieces that it doesn’t matter to have the fabric warp and weft be the same direction from piece to piece?
Also are there certain times you find it good to topstitch? Or is that more just for aesthetics?
Thank you, friend! 🩷
Thank you lovely human!!! I haven't struggled toooooo much with the fabric warp... but it's a good thing to be aware of when patchworking. I just keep an eye on it & play it by ear!! And the topstitching... usually just for aesthetics... but sometimes I just really want all the overlocked edges to face the right way.. so I topstitch for that reason!
Crumb quilting is my favorite!!!!! Can you tell me the name of your scissors?
This is so helpful!! I haven’t done much sewing my one of my summer projects is to make a skirt, I’d love to make a patchwork one. Do you find stuff like this washes well in a machine or do you usually hand wash?
Depends on the fabric you use. Silk/wool are to wash cold, otherwise Just machine wash normally. Most patchwork Fabric is cotton. Including vintage sheets from the thrift. Totally machine washable
Aw I'm so glad!! That's so exciting - you can do it! I almost always will handwash my patchwork pieces. I think they would hold up just fine in the wash, but I like to take extra care and time with them so they will last a long time!
Do you need to be concerned about the fabric bias being different? That has always been my question with patchwork clothes even though I loooove the look!
I try and make sure I'm not cutting on the bias! I give the fabric a good tug and see which way the grain most likely is... haha but yeah sometimes I break that rule too!! Whatever works ... works!!
Do you have a P.O. box we could send destash pretty cottons for you?
