All the garments look amazing! You did an excellent job picking out the fabrics and their construction. All three look wonderful on you. I completely understand why you’re so happy about the fabric and garments!
Amazing !!! and a tiny fraction of the cost of a whole Lululemon outfit 😂😂. Thanks so much for being so kind and being such a support to my channel xx🧵😊
Hi Carole, you now have 3 amazing garments. Not to mention that they are all co-ordinated as an outfit. The jacket is very nice and as you said, could be worn on its own. Looking forward to your next make ☺
Thanks Babbra, I honestly didn't think any of those items would work out and they did! I have had so many great suggestions for the linen, I am sure that will be a success too (well fingers crossed anyway!). 🧵😊
Great job on the blue active wear. I think the blue and off-white patterned fabric would work well as a button down, collared shirt, similar to a chambray-type shirt. At this point, I don’t think I would color block. I think it will look better than you imagine. You keep making beauty from ashes!😅
Beauty from the Ashes! I love that 👏🏼. It is the magic of wheel I think! thanks for the suggestion on the next fabric, as you say, colour blocking just won't work will it. Have a good week and thanks again 🧵😊
What can I say that hasn’t already been said? WOW! WONDERFUL! BRILLIANT! You look gorgeous! I’m thinking pillow covers with the new fabric. Good job!!! 🎉👍😊❤️
Wow Carole! Your activewear turned out awesome!! Great success. They look even better than high priced store bought. Give yourself a big pat on the back!!
Hi Carole! Oh my goodness… everything turned out beautifully!!!! When you first started talking about putting the wheel away… I was thinking it may have all gone wrong! I’m so glad I was wrong. And honestly, you haven’t changed at all since 2016! The jacket may be my most favorite. Well done!! ❤ Diann
I believe the word I want here is BRILLIANT! That jacket is fabulous! You always look so good in the things you make - and this is no exception. Well done! xoxoxox
Aww thank you so much Jen! I love that jacket so much and can't wait to wear it in Spring.. roll on the warmer weather. You are so kind to me. I am really sure nothing else I make this year will be anywhere near as good 😂😂. Have a safe trip xxx💗
Love it alot you have done sooo well it fabulous I'd be happy to can't wait for the make its fun watching the other sewist joining in have a great week ❤😊😊
Amazing!!! I think all three pieces are great and you can definitely wear them together. I think the linen would make beautiful cushion covers. I had to laugh at your enthusiasm when the wheel landed on that one 😂 Have fun with it! Xx 💞
That is my favorite outfit youve ever made! Its stunning on you and fits to perfection! It really fits your lifestyle too. You will be the cutest rambler in the group!!! There are more wonderful makes to come so SPIN THAT WHEEL!!! I just love you girl!!❤
Me too!! I am never sewing anything ever again...I am retiring now 😂. I can't wait for Spring so I can wear that jacket rambling, none of them have any idea I sew though! The wheel sure came good for me yet again but the next fabric...urmm not so sure. Hope you are working on your First results, can't wait to see them. Thanks my friend for always being so kind and supportive 💗🤗💗
Wow, Carole. You knocked it out of the park. The entire outfit looks fabulous. Great workout gear. I noticed that Diann @Silver ThreadsSewing is doing the #fabricwheeloffate too. Her husband did a great job with the wheel. It’s similar to the one your dad made for you. I’m enjoying all of you playing this fabric game and coming up with the perfect pattern(s). 😊 Your new fabric is beautiful. If you don’t want to make a garment, it would make a pretty beach bag.
Ha ha, Sweaty Betty or Lululemon do you think?! I honestly never understood why people pay so much for just leggings, I must be missing something 😂 Thanks for watching 🧵😊
Fabulous set of active wear. They look fabulous and it was fun to see you so excited about the jacket. How about a giant floor pillow for the grandkids to lounge on from this spin?
Wow 😮❤ why not wear it all together!! Fantastic!!! I love it. It’s perfect. I’m in total agreement with you. I would never have done leggings for myself, now you convinced me to try it. Beautiful job. 😊😊😊
Thanks so much, I thought I was a little unsure of too much of that patterned fabric together! Have a go at leggings, this was a great pattern and so much easier than I thought. 🧵😊
Wow Carole! You hit a home run with these projects and They look amazing on you. I think you have inadvertently inspired a lot of people to think about buying a cover stitch machine. The finish is next level!
Oh thank you so much. I must admit I thought for years about a cover stitch machine as I didn't think I would use it, but I do all the time and it is so easy! As you say, it adds those touches you would see in 'bought' garments. 🧵😊
Hi, Carol, that outfit is gorgeous! You did a fantastic job on those leggings, but that jacket! It is beyond cuteness! Don’t you ever say that you are not an accomplished seamstress, because you are! You have grown so much in your sewing over these years, it’s absolutely amazing. Great job, girlfriend! You could make some tote bags or cushion covers with that next fabric. It could be made into quite a few different things, let your imagination free! Take care, stay warm, and guess what? It snowed at my house! Didn’t stick around, but it was pretty to look at. I’ll be glad when this cold weather is over.❄️☃️🥶
Aww Sue, you know I appreciate your faith in me and I really hold you in high esteem! I always get scared thinking I can't make these items, then I come through and you can see how happy I get. I think you may be right, I think I have improved over the course of my channel but it is only because of the fabulous support I get from everyone. 🥰. We spent a week walking in the fabulous snow of Austria but I couldn't believe the photos coming out of the USA! Now we are back to hideous wind and rain, I didn't miss that at all. Thanks so much my friend 🧵😊
Wow! Sewing is your super power! Great job on your active wear ensemble! I have the Simplicity and the kwik sew, so I'll have to make them up. Thanks for the shout out! I better get cracking! 😜🥰
Thanks Becky! I was really surprised how good those Simplicity leggings were and as always, I think, I could never make those...and then I do! Hope you give them a try and good luck with your wheel 🧵😊
Caroline, your. Items are so (sew) fantastic. You have done an amazing job with that fabric. It is wonderful to see you so pleased with your results. Roll on next challenge. Happy sewing. 😊 ❤😂🎉 🇦🇺 🪃
Carole! You have definitely outdone yourself this time! That outfit is gorgeous! To make a jacket look so good with minimal instructions-😮-Amazing! I love the colors too! Now as for that linen fabric- I wouldn’t try a garment- but that’s just me 😂 Good luck with that one 😂Happy sewing ❤❤❤
Hi Carole, what a fabulous trio of active wear, you've made. You should be very pleased and proud because they are stunning. Leggings are something I hadn't worn until recently for exercising in but I bought some because I wanted to make my own at some point. You've inspired me yet again. Have a great week and good luck with the new fabric. I'd be tempted to make some casual trousers I think..
Hi Annette, thanks so much for all your lovely comments. I have to say, I was really proud of these makes...hence I don't want to make anything ever again 😂. I was surprised how well those leggings came out, it really was a good pattern so hope you try some. 🧵😊
Yay, Carole! What a fab, fab set!!! So versatile for mixing and matching!!! Lululemon is jealous! 😘💗 PS: I’ve made that leggings pattern! It’s a good one! 💗
I love your active wear! I'm going to be tackling active wear next month, and your love and excitement gives me hope it will turn out ok! The color is great on you and they all look wonderful on you! Great job!
Wow!!! That’s all I have to say 🙌🏼🙌🏼👏🏼👏🏼. It’s so nice to see you so happy with your new make👍. I just finished with my first garment, now I just need to make the video 🤣🤣. Congrats on your GREAT SUCCESSFUL 3 piece ensemble 🥰🥰
Hi Karen! I am so scared to make up any more wheel fabrics after this one. Nothing will work quite as well I know!! I can't wait to see your first results and I do hope it is bringing you as much enjoyment as it is for me. Thanks for watching xx💗
Your makes are amazing! You’re a great seamstress. I love the next fabric color and print. How about a summer robe! Or a blazer! If the fabric would work well for these items. Love your channel.
Thank you so much, I really appreciate your faith in me! Thanks also for your suggestions for the linen fabric, all these are going on a list. I am so pleased you like my channel and for taking the time to comment 🧵😊
Oh. Carole, I love, love, love your complete outfit that you shared with us today. You did very well with your pattern choices. That blue is an absolute winner - my favourite. But I also love this next choice - I know you think it not so good, but I love it. I thought a button down blouse perhaps. The colour blue is good, it is just a little muted, perhaps. I am excited to see what you make with this fabric too. Thanks for sharing. Have a great week.
Thank you so much for your lovely comments on my blue outfit! I really don't think I will top that this year. Thanks so much for your suggestion on how to use the Linen fabric. Now I am back from my holiday I need to decide what to do!! Have a good week too🧵😊
Carole, This is a fantastic make indeed but 2025 has just begun and you will be creating even more stunning garments. You have not aged one bit since that photo. You could make a nice button down shirt with that viscose print and wear it with jeans! 🥰💝💝
Hi Carole. Fabulous makes. You should be proud. I tried tracing a pattern from a Burda magazine and found it all to confusing. Congratulations to you for managing to.
Fabulous FWoF!!!! Such great success with fabric that was hanging around. 🎉 The new fabric looks good on camera. Maybe a project other than a garment is the way to go. I have blue dishes, so placemats or napkins would be my plan. You’ll figure out something! 😊-Deborah
Hi Deborah! Thank you so much, I honestly never thought I would make that fabric into anything. Thanks for the ideas on the Linen fabric, I am making a list of everybody's suggestions! As you say, I will work something out. 🧵😊
Hi Carole! This is so much fun! I love the makes you've already made with your "rejected" fabrics. It makes me think of what I have in stash and what I can do with them. For the linen fabric the wheel chose today, I can see it in some kind of a spring/summer bomber jacket. It would be cute to throw on over a t-shirt and jeans for a casual day or on a walk. Another idea would be kitchen linens: apron, hot pads, napkins. Can't wait to see what you do with it.
Carole, you are a wonderful inspiration! I love your makes! Perhaps you can use your latest fabric spin as a lining for a jacket. It’s just a thought! Thanks so much!
Thanks so much for the kind comment! Also thanks for the suggestion for the Patina blouse, I will write that down on my list. That blue would look good with jeans as you say. 🧵😊
That looks amazing, Definitely not too much at all, it looks better than anything I’ve seen in the shops. Don’t do yourself down, you can pull that off with knobs on! Well done you. As for the new fabric… I think maybe you have your initial idea of your chosen pattern, and disappointment, stuck in your head. Maybe think of a top that would be nice and casual with a pair of linen trousers for a boho summer style look? Wandering down to the beach in the early evening with a big floppy sun hat and shades… off white can look amazing for casual looks, understated, natural and harmonious… half tucked in, relaxed and yet effortlessly put together. It’s mind set. Let go of your previous ideas and see where you can find similar looks in situations you can see yourself in rather than a finished garment.
Great garments from the fabric on the first spin!!! I love the jacket especially! Do you need bias tape? That’s out-of-the-box thinking for this week’s wheel. Haha! If it were for me, I’d make wrap, wide leg pants, but I know that’s not something you’d wear. Silver Threads is doing the Fabric Wheel of Fate, and just finished a beautiful skirt! Have a good week!
Amazing garment, I think they look fab together. If you are looking for kore Active Wear, Jenny stitches did a video last week of some new in stock to her. Not a great deal of choice but she did have co-ordinating plain fabric and the quality looked excellent. Look forward to seeing what you conjure up next week !
Hello and I pray you had a good holiday in Austria. I love what you made out of the leisure wear fabric, and they look great on you. Thank you for the suggestions on the other channels that are doing the Wheel of Fate, but you forgot to mention Pinky's Farm as I watched her this morning and she gave a shout out to you about the wheel and was very excited to show us the fabrics that she chose to use. Take care and looking forward to all your videos. It is still really cold in MN with no snow. By the way, I worked in Minneapolis just a couple of blocks from Kwik Sew and have been to there shop many times and yes it is too bad that they are not there anymore. Darn anyway because they had so many excellent patterns.😀❤
Awesome makes. How exciting that everyone of them worked out for you. That jacket will definitely get lots of use. Now I guess the challenge will be to make something "not boring." 🙂 Last week I made a bomber jacket for my oldest granddaughter using a new to me pattern. I made soooo many mistakes. And in the end it was too small for her, thankfully it fits her youngest sister and she really likes it. Darcey, age 6, and I had our sewing lesson this week. I made an apron for her mom and she is decorating the pockets. She told me she wants to do both the foot pedal and guide the fabric. So I thought having her decorate the pockets with fancy stitches would be a good way to start. It wouldn't matter if she "got off course." She likes to talk, so she was chatting away and notice that she wasn't really watching what she was doing. She looked at me and the said, "you really have to keep your eye on the needle when you are sewing, otherwise it might do something cheeky." Apparently her vocabulary is very influenced by the Bluey. I also made three "taco bags" this week, I needed an easy win. After I made one I couldn't resist and made two more. They are all different sizes. The mini one is so cute. Thanks for sharing and best of luck with the new wheel challenge.
WHAT AN INCREDIBLY BEAUTIFUL WORK OUT OUTFIT!!! You really nailed this WOF spin, Carole!!! The fit is perfect and the fabric is beautiful. Very, very well done! Yes, you should be very proud of this outfit. You outdid yourself. [Mike drop!] As for this spin's fabric, how about new pillow covers for your garden room or the holiday house? xx Dori
Hi Dori! Thank you so much for all your kindness on my makes. You can see why I am so nervous to anything else ever again 😂. It is all going to be downhill from here on I think!! Thanks for the suggestions on what to do with the new fabric, I am listing them all down. Take care and hope you managed to stay warm! 💗x
@@socarole66 Hi Carole. You are so deserving of compliments on your makes, as you are so talented. No snow where I live, just chilly at night, but great snuggling/sleeping weather. Turned on my heater for the very first time 2 days ago when the nights got down into the high 30s/low 40s, to get the chill out of the house. I assume that the heater will eventually die of rust instead of over use! 🤣 Can't wait to see you next video! 🥰 Hugs, Dori
Lovely, they turned out really well. I love that jacket ! You could make a fitted, shorter sleeved blouse with a neru collar ( maybe dark blue ) and then wear it with the jacket over it . The pattern is lovely but , yes, it is a bit of a puzzler what to make. Hope you had a great time in Austria. have a nice week. Barb
I agree, it will be hard to top that outfit but I believe in you! It's really great and I like how you pulled patterns from three different companies together to make it. I actually really like that linen fabric. I'm a sucker for anything linen or linen-blend (even better as it wrinkles less). My first thought would be a shirt dress but as you're not keen on it for a garment for yourself what about a shirt for Chris? It would make a great short sleeved tropical/camp shirt, or what about something like S1544 and use a second fabric for the inside cuffs/inside collar etc? I'm really looking forward to seeing what you decide upon for this one.
Thank you so much for watching and all those wonderful ideas for the next fabric, you are thinking along the same lines as me 😉. I love the print on the linen fabric it is just a shame it wasn't on white which I thought it was. I honestly don't think I will make anything better this year but let's see! 🧵😊
What a cute outfit you made! Good for you!! I've been working on a blouse for the past -- oh, let me think back a bit, yes, I'd say -- the past 3 months. Yes, it has taken me that long to re-energize my sewing bug. I maybe did not follow the directions to a "t" but it looks okay and I hope to get it finished up this afternoon so I can wear it to class on Tuesday. I think I just might need to make another blouse, too. Hope you're enjoying your holiday yet! Oh, what am I saying? I know you must be!! Take care...
Perhaps you could make a bestie bag from the blue print fabric, and maybe some cushion covers if you have some left over. Anxious to see what you come up with. I love what you did with the current fabric. Such a smart looking workout set.
Hi Theresa, Bestie bag seems to be so popular on RUclips right now and I need to make one. Thanks for the ideas for the next fabric. I can't wait to wear the jacket the most, roll on Spring! 🧵😊
Well done! I’m jealous you can cover stitch. I have a coverstitch/serger but can’t get it to work right. I’m sure it’s the machine, not me. 😊 Keep spinning. You wouldn’t have your jacket if you hadn’t forced yourself to do it with the spin.
Carole, that fabric is awesome and would've been awesome, whatever you made. Great choice! The jacket will look good with so many things. Is viscose linen suitable for sleepwear? Congratulations on your wonderful success! ☃ Bernadette
Thank you so much for your kind comment on my blue results! As you say, I think that fabric would have been a winner whatever I made. Great suggestion for the next fabric, I am making a list of suggestions. 🧵😊
Aww thank you so much. The wheel really works for me and bringing the element of surprise into my sewing! I know it sounds crazy 😂. Thanks for watching 🧵😊
Carol, your sports ensemble is fabulous! I'm super thrilled for you! Don't forget, G&G have great quality athletic fabrics (if a bit pricey-but that kind of quality is more no matter where you go). I wouldn't know what garment to make with the linen either. It is a beautiful print though. A few ideas for other uses: curtains, pillow cases, storage boxes, table cloth, travel bags, passport covers, plant box covers, grocery bags, toiletry bags, seat cushions, etc. I'm sure you saw but JoAnns is being liquidated and going out of business. The deep discounts have started. If there are any Kwik Sews patterns you'd like me to get for you, (when they go on sale) or any of the big 4 really, I can definitely check if our JoAnns has them. I'm coming to the UK in March and would be happy to post them for you there. We won't have a car, or I would try to meet you somewhere to give them to you in person. We will be in Coventry, Birmingham and then London if they are anywhere near you. Just let me know. xoxo. p.s Carol, if you go to Debbie Shore's RUclips Live stream from this morning, she used a fabric with very similar colors to your linen. She made a cute bag and a beautiful book cover from it and they look great. Just another idea for you to consider. Here is the link.ruclips.net/video/2QSilxpY27c/видео.html You'll have to scroll to about the 20min mark to see her talking about it.
Oh my word Rita, thank you so much for all those wonderful ideas for that linen fabric. I am keeping a list of what people suggest, so you have certainly added quite a few! No worries re patterns as I will be in the USA in June so if JoAnns is still around I shall pick any that are left. It will really leave a hole in your Sewing shopping if they disappear completely. I really appreciate your kind offer. How wonderful you are visiting the UK in March, I do hope our weather is kind to you. Sadly I live on the South Coast so very far from where you are visiting, they are all about 3 or 4 hours away. Thanks also for the tip on Debbie Shore, I will look that up. Have a great week and can't wait to hear about your trip 🧵😊
I think it's great that I'm seeing your fabric wheel of fate all over youtube. I'd wear that all together to the gym.. It's adorable. Do you have the Sage Brush pattern? That would be cute. I just saw another person make one out of a fabric I thought wasn't the best. Her's turned out great.
I am so glad that others have decided to join in my fun! It really is great fun to do and it is making me sew up fabric that I really wouldn't have without being 'forced' to by the wheel 😂. I don't have the Sage brush top but you are right, so many people have success with that pattern! Thanks for watching and your suggestion 🧵😊
All the garments look amazing! You did an excellent job picking out the fabrics and their construction. All three look wonderful on you. I completely understand why you’re so happy about the fabric and garments!
Maybe a summer dressing gown
Thanks so much for watching and your idea for the next fabric! 🧵😊
Carole how fantastic!! 👏👏👏 K xxx
Move over Sweaty Betty and Lou Lou Lemon Carole has arrived!😂 What a successful sew, you look great wearing that terrific outfit .❤
Amazing !!! and a tiny fraction of the cost of a whole Lululemon outfit 😂😂. Thanks so much for being so kind and being such a support to my channel xx🧵😊
What a result Carole! That FWOW really worked its magic this time. 😊x

Thank you so much Zelda, you have so much faith in me!! 🧵😊x
Wow! Great job Carole! Love, love, love this whole outfit!❤
Yay, thank you so much! I can't wait to wear the jacket the most. 🧵😊
Your enthusiasm over the outfit is absolutely adorable! You are so delightful and talented. Great outfit.
Thank you so much for all those kind comments, I couldn't hold back my feelings on these makes, partly because at last I had sewn up that fabric! 🧵😊
Those outfits are awesome. You knocked it out of the ballpark.
Wow Carole! Your activewear turned out awesome!! Great success. They look even better than high priced store bought. Give yourself a big pat on the back!!
It looks awsome you did great thanks to the wheel of fate
Hi Carole! Oh my goodness… everything turned out beautifully!!!! When you first started talking about putting the wheel away… I was thinking it may have all gone wrong! I’m so glad I was wrong.

Thank you! You can tell I was happy too 😂 Thanks for watching 🧵😊
Clever you. This outfit is fantastic. With today's fabric spin perhaps an apron, totebage, cushions.
Thank you so much! As you could tell, I was happy that fabric worked out. I appreciate your great ideas for the next fabric too. 🧵😊
Great makes!
Wow Carole! You hit a home run with these projects and They look amazing on you. I think you have inadvertently inspired a lot of people to think about buying a cover stitch machine. The finish is next level!

Hi Carole, That athletic outfit is perfection! Well done!
Thanks so much, you are too kind! 🧵😊
Ooohhh... I can hardly wait to see what you come up with for the bone and blue print now.
Bone and blue!! That is exactly the best way to describe that fabric, thank you 🧵😊
A kimono dressing gown would look lovely in that fabric. Good luck!
Great job on your make! The fit is perfect. I think the new fabric would make great placemats or pillowcases. Good luck😊
Thank you so much for your kind comment on the makes and also your ideas on what to do with the Linen. I have so many ideas from you all 🧵😊

Hi Annette, thanks so much for all your lovely comments. I have to say, I was really proud of these makes...hence I don't want to make anything ever again 😂. I was surprised how well those leggings came out, it really was a good pattern so hope you try some. 🧵😊
GORGEOUS 😍... YOU ARE GORGEOUS IN YOUR GORGEOUS NEW OUTFIT!
You are the sweetest!! Thank you so much for your comment 🧵😊x
Yay, Carole! What a fab, fab set!!! So versatile for mixing and matching!!! Lululemon is jealous! 😘💗 PS: I’ve made that leggings pattern! It’s a good one! 💗
I think the linen would be cute as a pair of shorts or cullotes for soring
Thank you so much for watching and your idea for the next fabric 🧵😊
I love your active wear! I'm going to be tackling active wear next month, and your love and excitement gives me hope it will turn out ok! The color is great on you and they all look wonderful on you! Great job!
Wow!!! That’s all I have to say 🙌🏼🙌🏼👏🏼👏🏼. It’s so nice to see you so happy with your new make👍. I just finished with my first garment, now I just need to make the video 🤣🤣. Congrats on your GREAT SUCCESSFUL 3 piece ensemble 🥰🥰
Hi Karen! I am so scared to make up any more wheel fabrics after this one. Nothing will work quite as well I know!! I can't wait to see your first results and I do hope it is bringing you as much enjoyment as it is for me. Thanks for watching xx💗
Your makes are amazing! You’re a great seamstress.
I love the next fabric color and print. How about a summer robe! Or a blazer! If the fabric would work well for these items.
Love your channel.
Thank you so much, I really appreciate your faith in me! Thanks also for your suggestions for the linen fabric, all these are going on a list.
I am so pleased you like my channel and for taking the time to comment 🧵😊
Carole, It is so good to see you so happy. You did a beautiful job on your new outfit. I'm sure you will get a lot of wear out of your jacket. ❤🙂🙃🙂❤
Something for Christmas? Tree skirt, placemats, folded decorations? Good luck Angela
Oh. Carole, I love, love, love your complete outfit that you shared with us today. You did very well with your pattern choices. That blue is an absolute winner - my favourite.
But I also love this next choice - I know you think it not so good, but I love it. I thought a button down blouse perhaps. The colour blue is good, it is just a little muted, perhaps. I am excited to see what you make with this fabric too. Thanks for sharing. Have a great week.
Thank you so much for your lovely comments on my blue outfit! I really don't think I will top that this year. Thanks so much for your suggestion on how to use the Linen fabric. Now I am back from my holiday I need to decide what to do!! Have a good week too🧵😊
What a great job looks fantastic.
Thank you so much! 🧵😊
Carole, This is a fantastic make indeed but 2025 has just begun and you will be creating even more stunning garments. You have not aged one bit since that photo. You could make a nice button down shirt with that viscose print and wear it with jeans! 🥰💝💝
Hi Carole. Fabulous makes. You should be proud. I tried tracing a pattern from a Burda magazine and found it all to confusing. Congratulations to you for managing to.
Fabulous FWoF!!!! Such great success with fabric that was hanging around. 🎉 The new fabric looks good on camera. Maybe a project other than a garment is the way to go. I have blue dishes, so placemats or napkins would be my plan. You’ll figure out something! 😊-Deborah
Hi Deborah! Thank you so much, I honestly never thought I would make that fabric into anything. Thanks for the ideas on the Linen fabric, I am making a list of everybody's suggestions! As you say, I will work something out. 🧵😊
Just WOW!! I love this outfit! And it looks so good on you! Fabulous make!
Thank you so much, I really appreciate that! 🧵😊
Wow! All three pieces look great!
Thank you so much! 🧵😊
Hi Carole! This is so much fun! I love the makes you've already made with your "rejected" fabrics. It makes me think of what I have in stash and what I can do with them. For the linen fabric the wheel chose today, I can see it in some kind of a spring/summer bomber jacket. It would be cute to throw on over a t-shirt and jeans for a casual day or on a walk. Another idea would be kitchen linens: apron, hot pads, napkins. Can't wait to see what you do with it.
Thank you so much for watching and all your creative ideas for the next fabric. I hadn't considered a jacket! 🧵😊
Carole, you are a wonderful inspiration! I love your makes! Perhaps you can use your latest fabric spin as a lining for a jacket. It’s just a thought! Thanks so much!
The athletic set is perfect! As far as the linen/ it always makes nice flowing pants!
Thank you so much, I really appreciate that and also your idea for the linen 🧵😊
That fabric would make a lovely Donny Shirt, XX
Thanks so much for that suggestion! I really must make another of those, with this fabric or something else. 🧵😊
Love your makes 😍! I think your linen would make beautiful Patina blouse that would look great with jeans in the spring &summer! 😉
Thanks so much for the kind comment! Also thanks for the suggestion for the Patina blouse, I will write that down on my list. That blue would look good with jeans as you say. 🧵😊
That looks amazing, Definitely not too much at all, it looks better than anything I’ve seen in the shops. Don’t do yourself down, you can pull that off with knobs on! Well done you.
As for the new fabric… I think maybe you have your initial idea of your chosen pattern, and disappointment, stuck in your head. Maybe think of a top that would be nice and casual with a pair of linen trousers for a boho summer style look? Wandering down to the beach in the early evening with a big floppy sun hat and shades… off white can look amazing for casual looks, understated, natural and harmonious… half tucked in, relaxed and yet effortlessly put together. It’s mind set. Let go of your previous ideas and see where you can find similar looks in situations you can see yourself in rather than a finished garment.
Great garments from the fabric on the first spin!!! I love the jacket especially! Do you need bias tape? That’s out-of-the-box thinking for this week’s wheel. Haha! If it were for me, I’d make wrap, wide leg pants, but I know that’s not something you’d wear. Silver Threads is doing the Fabric Wheel of Fate, and just finished a beautiful skirt! Have a good week!
The linen would make a nice summer shirt for Chris.
Amazing garment, I think they look fab together. If you are looking for kore Active Wear, Jenny stitches did a video last week of some new in stock to her. Not a great deal of choice but she did have co-ordinating plain fabric and the quality looked excellent. Look forward to seeing what you conjure up next week !
Hello and I pray you had a good holiday in Austria. I love what you made out of the leisure wear fabric, and they look great on you. Thank you for the suggestions on the other channels that are doing the Wheel of Fate, but you forgot to mention Pinky's Farm as I watched her this morning and she gave a shout out to you about the wheel and was very excited to show us the fabrics that she chose to use. Take care and looking forward to all your videos. It is still really cold in MN with no snow. By the way, I worked in Minneapolis just a couple of blocks from Kwik Sew and have been to there shop many times and yes it is too bad that they are not there anymore. Darn anyway because they had so many excellent patterns.😀❤
The linen would make a cute skirt.
Great job, looks great on you, I like the linen, waiting to see it made up,
Thank you so much Brenda. I am sure with all these suggestions I am getting the Linen will become something! 🧵😊
Awesome makes. How exciting that everyone of them worked out for you. That jacket will definitely get lots of use. Now I guess the challenge will be to make something "not boring." 🙂 Last week I made a bomber jacket for my oldest granddaughter using a new to me pattern. I made soooo many mistakes. And in the end it was too small for her, thankfully it fits her youngest sister and she really likes it. Darcey, age 6, and I had our sewing lesson this week. I made an apron for her mom and she is decorating the pockets. She told me she wants to do both the foot pedal and guide the fabric. So I thought having her decorate the pockets with fancy stitches would be a good way to start. It wouldn't matter if she "got off course." She likes to talk, so she was chatting away and notice that she wasn't really watching what she was doing. She looked at me and the said, "you really have to keep your eye on the needle when you are sewing, otherwise it might do something cheeky." Apparently her vocabulary is very influenced by the Bluey. I also made three "taco bags" this week, I needed an easy win. After I made one I couldn't resist and made two more. They are all different sizes. The mini one is so cute. Thanks for sharing and best of luck with the new wheel challenge.
WHAT AN INCREDIBLY BEAUTIFUL WORK OUT OUTFIT!!! You really nailed this WOF spin, Carole!!! The fit is perfect and the fabric is beautiful. Very, very well done! Yes, you should be very proud of this outfit. You outdid yourself. [Mike drop!] As for this spin's fabric, how about new pillow covers for your garden room or the holiday house? xx Dori
Hi Dori! Thank you so much for all your kindness on my makes. You can see why I am so nervous to anything else ever again 😂. It is all going to be downhill from here on I think!! Thanks for the suggestions on what to do with the new fabric, I am listing them all down. Take care and hope you managed to stay warm! 💗x
@@socarole66 Hi Carole. You are so deserving of compliments on your makes, as you are so talented. No snow where I live, just chilly at night, but great snuggling/sleeping weather. Turned on my heater for the very first time 2 days ago when the nights got down into the high 30s/low 40s, to get the chill out of the house. I assume that the heater will eventually die of rust instead of over use! 🤣 Can't wait to see you next video! 🥰 Hugs, Dori
Lovely, they turned out really well. I love that jacket ! You could make a fitted, shorter sleeved blouse with a neru collar ( maybe dark blue ) and then wear it with the jacket over it . The pattern is lovely but , yes, it is a bit of a puzzler what to make. Hope you had a great time in Austria. have a nice week. Barb
I agree, it will be hard to top that outfit but I believe in you! It's really great and I like how you pulled patterns from three different companies together to make it. I actually really like that linen fabric. I'm a sucker for anything linen or linen-blend (even better as it wrinkles less). My first thought would be a shirt dress but as you're not keen on it for a garment for yourself what about a shirt for Chris? It would make a great short sleeved tropical/camp shirt, or what about something like S1544 and use a second fabric for the inside cuffs/inside collar etc? I'm really looking forward to seeing what you decide upon for this one.
Thank you so much for watching and all those wonderful ideas for the next fabric, you are thinking along the same lines as me 😉. I love the print on the linen fabric it is just a shame it wasn't on white which I thought it was. I honestly don't think I will make anything better this year but let's see! 🧵😊
What a cute outfit you made! Good for you!! I've been working on a blouse for the past -- oh, let me think back a bit, yes, I'd say -- the past 3 months. Yes, it has taken me that long to re-energize my sewing bug. I maybe did not follow the directions to a "t" but it looks okay and I hope to get it finished up this afternoon so I can wear it to class on Tuesday. I think I just might need to make another blouse, too. Hope you're enjoying your holiday yet! Oh, what am I saying? I know you must be!! Take care...
WOW! How beautiful!!! You did such professional sew on it! Bravo🎉❤
Yay, thank you so much, I really appreciate that 🧵😊
Perhaps you could make a bestie bag from the blue print fabric, and maybe some cushion covers if you have some left over. Anxious to see what you come up with. I love what you did with the current fabric. Such a smart looking workout set.
Hi Theresa, Bestie bag seems to be so popular on RUclips right now and I need to make one. Thanks for the ideas for the next fabric. I can't wait to wear the jacket the most, roll on Spring! 🧵😊
Well done! I’m jealous you can cover stitch. I have a coverstitch/serger but can’t get it to work right. I’m sure it’s the machine, not me. 😊
Keep spinning. You wouldn’t have your jacket if you hadn’t forced yourself to do it with the spin.
Well all I can say is WOW !!! This outfit is just fabulous Carole, no wonder you’re chuffed. Great work. X
Aw thank you so much, I am so pleased with this as I think you could tell! Thanks for watching 🧵😊
Carole, that fabric is awesome and would've been awesome, whatever you made. Great choice! The jacket will look good with so many things. Is viscose linen suitable for sleepwear? Congratulations on your wonderful success! ☃ Bernadette
Thank you so much for your kind comment on my blue results! As you say, I think that fabric would have been a winner whatever I made. Great suggestion for the next fabric, I am making a list of suggestions. 🧵😊
What a great use of both fabrics! How wonderful that you took fabric you dreaded and made wonderful pieces from it. They look fantastic.
I love you and your wheel. Please keep having fun with this!
Aww thank you so much. The wheel really works for me and bringing the element of surprise into my sewing! I know it sounds crazy 😂. Thanks for watching 🧵😊
You make me laugh … not wanting to sew anymore this year
I know you, you will make something fantastic with that fabric.
Fabulous outfits…..love the blue colour….gorgeous…😊🇦🇺
Thank you so much, that blue is wonderful isn't it. 🧵😊
I do love your fabric wheel of fate.
Thanks Katinka. I honestly love doing it and I am a slave to its decisions 😂. Thanks for watching and hope you are well 🧵😊
Carol, your sports ensemble is fabulous! I'm super thrilled for you! Don't forget, G&G have great quality athletic fabrics (if a bit pricey-but that kind of quality is more no matter where you go). I wouldn't know what garment to make with the linen either. It is a beautiful print though. A few ideas for other uses: curtains, pillow cases, storage boxes, table cloth, travel bags, passport covers, plant box covers, grocery bags, toiletry bags, seat cushions, etc. I'm sure you saw but JoAnns is being liquidated and going out of business. The deep discounts have started. If there are any Kwik Sews patterns you'd like me to get for you, (when they go on sale) or any of the big 4 really, I can definitely check if our JoAnns has them. I'm coming to the UK in March and would be happy to post them for you there. We won't have a car, or I would try to meet you somewhere to give them to you in person. We will be in Coventry, Birmingham and then London if they are anywhere near you. Just let me know. xoxo. p.s Carol, if you go to Debbie Shore's RUclips Live stream from this morning, she used a fabric with very similar colors to your linen. She made a cute bag and a beautiful book cover from it and they look great. Just another idea for you to consider. Here is the link.ruclips.net/video/2QSilxpY27c/видео.html You'll have to scroll to about the 20min mark to see her talking about it.
Oh my word Rita, thank you so much for all those wonderful ideas for that linen fabric. I am keeping a list of what people suggest, so you have certainly added quite a few! No worries re patterns as I will be in the USA in June so if JoAnns is still around I shall pick any that are left. It will really leave a hole in your Sewing shopping if they disappear completely. I really appreciate your kind offer. How wonderful you are visiting the UK in March, I do hope our weather is kind to you. Sadly I live on the South Coast so very far from where you are visiting, they are all about 3 or 4 hours away. Thanks also for the tip on Debbie Shore, I will look that up. Have a great week and can't wait to hear about your trip 🧵😊
Love your leggings, jacket and top. Looks great on you.
I think it's great that I'm seeing your fabric wheel of fate all over youtube. I'd wear that all together to the gym.. It's adorable. Do you have the Sage Brush pattern? That would be cute. I just saw another person make one out of a fabric I thought wasn't the best. Her's turned out great.
I am so glad that others have decided to join in my fun! It really is great fun to do and it is making me sew up fabric that I really wouldn't have without being 'forced' to by the wheel 😂. I don't have the Sage brush top but you are right, so many people have success with that pattern! Thanks for watching and your suggestion 🧵😊
Carole, I love the outfit! You’re ready for the gym or a nice walk!
I just finished a tee-shirt. Fit isn’t great but with a cardigan, it will be fine.
I certainly am ready! I have never have had matching fitness wear before. Can't wait to see you T shirt, there is nothing a nice cardi can't save! 🧵😊
Beautiful makes! So fun to see the Fabric Wheel of Fate.
Thanks so much, I do love spinning that wheel. It makes my sewing decisions easy for me! 🧵😊
Amazing result with your active wear
Oh thank you so much, that is so kind 🧵😊
