  • These are my favourite makes from my self made capsule wardrobe. I'm trying to think consciously about what I sew and knit to make sure my pieces fit my style, and my life! I've made these patterns multiple times and in this video I talk through what worked well, and what I'd change next time.
    Patterns in my video as requested:
    Ottoline Jacket by Merchant and Mills
    Everyday Waistcoat by New Craft House (I'm also currently designing a waistcoat sewing pattern - they're so wearable and fun!)
    Truss Cardigan by Brooklyn Tweed
    Bloomsbury Blouse by Nina Lee
    Harlene Dungarees by Merchant and Mills
    Helene Jeans by Anna Allen
    Zero Waste Gather Dress
    Hattie Dress by Merchant and Mills
    Holiday Slipover by Petite Knit
    And a self drafted tote bag!
    I'm not associated with any of these patterns or designers, I just like them!

      Thank you! Yes, everything has little imperfections, which is normal as you say! X

    Thank you for sharing your favorite makes. They are all very nice. I didn’t quite catch the name of the reversible vest you made. I would love to make one as it seems really wearable instead of a jacket in the summer. ❤

    • @threadandyarn
      @threadandyarn  Год назад +1

      Hey, I'm glad you enjoyed it 😊 it's the new craft house 'Everyday Waistcoat'. It's lovely! I'm actually designing my own waistcoat sewing pattern at the moment because I find them such a useful piece, as you say.

    I found this video looking for merchant and mills videos, in hopes of another maker who likes their fabrics as much as i do. Thanks for sharing your makes! I really liked your Hattie especially!

    • @threadandyarn
      @threadandyarn  Год назад +1

      Thanks! Glad you liked it 😊 I do love sewing with M&M fabrics and patterns

  • @deborahcohen7070
    @deborahcohen7070 Год назад +1

    Great makes. Perhaps you could hang the garments from the bookcase to show off the whole garments. However i really appreciated seeing the detailled shots as well. Great collection

    • @threadandyarn
      @threadandyarn  Год назад

      Thanks! Yes I'll do more full length views next time!

  • @tamarf4596
    @tamarf4596 Год назад +1

    Excellent workmanship! I loved the overalls and that dash of color you added in the lining.
    Though I have a completely different taste in color palette (you seem to prefer brown-olive-greys, and in general, giving off a muted effect), I can see myself wearing all your designs, in brighter colors.
    Great channel!

    • @threadandyarn
      @threadandyarn  Год назад

      Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it 😊 I always love to see how people have created something totally different from the same pattern!

  • @CaitMakes

    Relate to so much of what you said about the sewing journey in general! Gorgeous makes! Added lots of these patterns to my must make list 😊❤️

    • @threadandyarn

      Ah glad you enjoyed it! Enjoy the patterns 🥰

    @talesfromthewhitecottage Год назад

    Lovely wardrobe! I can understand your struggle of seeing beautiful things on other people and wanting to have it even though it might not really fit. But just realizing that this is a thing to keep in mind has helped me so far :)

  • @rachelcoleman1267
    @rachelcoleman1267 Год назад +1

    I have a blouse with buttons I put it on just over my head do up the button then turn the right way and put arms through sleeves ,also an elasticared button loop may help

    • @threadandyarn
      @threadandyarn  Год назад

      I think it's a bit too fitted for a manoeuvre like that, but elastic loops could help!

  • @pollypolygraph
    @pollypolygraph Год назад

    I love your style. I'm still at the random clashing patterned fabrics stage of my sewing journey. Hopefully I'll calm down as I transition from beginner to intermediate.

    • @threadandyarn
      @threadandyarn  Год назад

      I think that's part of experimenting, and I still do that :) but I think over time I've honed it down

      Thank you! And thanks also for letting me know, I wondered if it might be a little quiet. I'll look into getting a little microphone 😊

    @maureencullen1008 Год назад +1

    Your clothes are fab.I would have loved to have seen what they looked like on.The volume is low so I don't know if your able to increase it.Your colour palette is beautiful.

    • @threadandyarn
      @threadandyarn  Год назад

      Hi 😊 there are a few clips later on, but I agree - I'm going to film another one this week where you can see them full length. Others have also said it's a bit quiet, so I'm getting a microphone! Hopefully that'll help. Thanks for watching 😊

      Haha, thank you! I might do a little video soon where I go back and fix this like that.

      @threadandyarn  Год назад

      Hi Wendy 😊 I either bought it on BT's website or ravelry. If you Google it, it should come up.

    Hi! Love your channel :) what type of fabric is the Gilbert shirt you made?

    • @threadandyarn
      @threadandyarn  Год назад

      Thanks so much! It's Indian cotton with a hand-blocked print on. It's from Cloth House (in London) 😊

    J Stern Designs has a youtube channel that explains the ways to get certain results when sewing pants (eliminating bagginess, increasing crotch depth, etc.) I have learned from them, even though I've been sewing for over 60 years.

  • @woogies37
    @woogies37 Год назад +2

    Just found your channel I love your style. Just to let you know I had to turn my volume up full and still found it a little difficult to hear you.

    • @threadandyarn
      @threadandyarn  Год назад

      Thank you - yes, another person said that. I'll invest in a microphone 😊 hopefully better next time!

  • @kimpham7846
    @kimpham7846 Год назад

    I turned maximum volume, but your voice is low which made me hard to hear what you said. Your video has good content, but need to fix sound volume.

    • @threadandyarn
      @threadandyarn  Год назад

      Thanks Kim - yes a few others have already pointed this out. It was my first video and I've made the other ones louder - hopefully they're easier to hear 😊
