Thanks Cheryl...they are both very cute! I like the little element of a contrast hood!
Aquilterknits thanks Pam 🌷😊
They both look beautiful Cheryl especially the striped lining. I got the Frankie Tee from a sewing magazine site so that is my next thing to trace off. I am on the quest for my perfect raglan top pattern. I made my girls hoodies when they were little and I often used cotton for the hood and pocket lining as it doesn't need to stretch. Look forward to a designer video, I like Halla patterns they are very simple great fit and easy to put together and if you join their FB page you get a code for free ones which aren't the usual "just been made for free" but are the actual patterns My favourite top is their slim dolman and that was free. They are worth a look.
Beautiful makes. I like the contrasting hood lining. Great idea using shoe laces for the cording.
Sage Preaumx thank you Sage 🌷
The Hoodies look just fab! Thank you for the great review (as always :)). Hoodie here I come.....
Alex Baer thank you Alex 🌷😊
Love the gray hoodie, Cheryl! This is a nice review! Hugs!
Just preparing the Stella Hoodie so really pleased to have found your great video! Thank you 💜
Thanks Mrs G, enjoy your sewing 🧵
I have been waiting for this! I have ordered some of the lovely material and plan to make these later this month. Thanks for such a thorough review. This is so helpful, especially for a beginning sewer like me.
Eileen Rafferty thank you Eileen, I often wonder if I waffle on too much 😃
Really nice and they look so comfy. Can’t wait to see the new patterns you try.
thanks Sandy 😊
Your hoodies both look great Cheryl, and the initial appliqué is a fab idea! I’ve made two....one for me, then my sister begged me for one as well! Just waiting for some cooler weather now so we can actually enjoy wearing them!
thanks you Karen 🌷 How lovely of you to sew for your sister, a super gift!
I love your hoodies! Both of them are so adorable! I agree with you, I am trying more Indie patterns too! I find them to be more stylish in some cases!
Myra Lorraine thanks Myra, I agree, it’s nice to seek out patterns which match your own style 🌷
Love your Tilly makes. Thank you. Val🇨🇦🇬🇧
Val Clements thank you Val 🇨🇦
Great 😘 will definitely purchase Tilly’s book.
it's a goodie! 🌷
I just got the book, Tilly 's Stretch book. I'm going to try to make the hoodie with the contrast. Love you videos.
Lyndalee Korn thank you Lyndalee 🌷
Your hoodie is beautiful. Good that you are now ready for Autumn 😊
thank you Helena 😊
Hi Cheryl your hooded sweat top is lovely on you and the pink one too. Tilly & The Buttons Stretch book is great i have made the baseball t - shirt for my mum she loved the top.
Thank you for sharing see you again on youtube happy sewing 😊
thanks Sarah, see you on here next week 🌷
I've made four Stella Hoodies and It's such a fun project. I enjoyed seeing your versions, especially with the lower band idea. Have to try that! I made a size 5 for myself and my 12 yr old grandaughter wanted her hoodie in that size. She likes the oversized, loose feel of it. Thanks for the video!
Wow, you have been busy, it's a great pattern to make again and again. I bet your grandaughter loves it too. Thank you for your kind words 😊
Made this with interlock jersey and lined hood with flannel. Came out great. Thanks for the review
ahh wonderful, thanks Julia 😊
Great review.. this is most definitely on the list!! And the monogram detail... 😍
thanks Rachael 😊
Love love love your videos as always! Xx
thank you so much Jo 😊
Hi Cheryl, love your hoodies. I love the CT detail!! Thanks so much for sharing the information on the fabric, that's really, really helpful. I've made one, but in a test fabric, which I don't know what it is. I'm definitely going to make another in a french terry as you suggest. Thanks as always for sharing. p.s. love your hair xx
thank you so much as always for your kind words Agnes 🌷
Thank you again Cheryl for another excellent video. I just bought some of your rosy pink sweatshirt fabric and the narrow stripe for the hood lining! And, I went on Amazon and bought Tilly's stretch book! I can't wait for autumn! Lol
Patricia Bennett thank you Patricia, glad you got a lovely haul before it goes 😘
Hi Cheryl, you have got me thinking about our autumn and winter now and I would definitely love to make a hoodie for that 👍. Your versions are great and love the stripes lining the hood. Loving the look of the French Terrie's and that gorgeous star ponty roma 😍. Oh, and just wanted to say that your hair is looking lovely and I'm loving the length on you 💞. Enjoy your sewing Cheryl and looking forward to seeing more of your makes 😁👌😘
thank you so much Sally 😊 I'm still getting used to my hair, I was hoping it would be cooler to wear it short but it's gone thicker, ha ha, hey ho.
Your hoodies look great. I love this pattern and the book. I made one hoodie in wool blend sweatshirt fabric, one in a thin knit fabric and one in jersey for my partner (sized up to men's large). It worked best in sweatshirt fabric with the extra band around the bottom.
Heather Brown thanks Heather, yours sound super luxe 👌🏻🌷
One word....Brilliant thank you 😍
Jane Brettell thanks Jane 😊😘
Your hoodies are too cute and I love the badge on the grey one really stands out. As always thanks for the review of types of fabrics, you have some great ones in stock.
thanks Nateida 😊 The letters were so easy to apply by ironing on and so inexpensive too. I think I may need to sew them on too to make sure they don't come off in the wash.
I ❤ your intro. Such a catchy little tune.
vhmartin thank you 🐝
Lovely hoodies Cheryl. I have this pattern waiting in the wings💕
thanks Ruth, looking forward to seeing your version 😊
Im New to sewing, and have loved your vlogs. I love your calm and gentle approach, makes viewing very enjoyable. So informative too, with little in the way of fabric stores where I live (south Devon) videos like this help me to understand for online shopping.
Could I ask, what the trousers were that you were wearing in the video, only saw the top of them but they looked lovely with your grey hoodie. Many thanks A x
Angela Best thank you so much Angela for your kind words 🌷 My cropped jeggings are from Asda 😃 I have a few pairs.
So fun to see your color/fabric choices. With the weather so hot, that must have been tough to wear for the video!
Loriann Payne thank you 🌷Ha ha, not too bad today, it’s much cooler 👍🏻😘
Stitchy Bee It’s going to be about 100F (37.8C) in Oregon. That’s rare. Have a fun day on the other side of the pond. Can’t wait to travel there for the two big events in November! (Socialite Soirée, November 10 and Stitcher’s Social, November 17) Hope to see you at one of them...
I got this pattern free in a magazine and felt scared to try but you have given me courage....thanks!
thanks Teri, yes me too 😊 It saved me tracing the pattern form the book - although double check your free pattern as mine had two back bodice pieces instead of a front, so I had to trace that one from the book.
Great video. Apologies to all as I got the last of (both) the navy striped jerseys! As an aside, a rolled towel is a substitute for the ham.
Kathie Gadd thanks Kathie, great tip 👍🏻🌷
Beautiful. I love it
thanks Janey 🌷
All your makes always look immaculate and so professional, I hope one day I will be able to sew at the same level. 🤞
thank you Carly 😊 It's just practice I think, and making lots of mistakes on the way. Enjoy your sewing.
That mustard ponte is gorgeous!!!!
Sew PrettyKitty it’s so lovely. I fancy making a skirt with it 👍🏻
Stitchy Bee I’m supposed to be on a fabric buying ban.....I’m so tempted!! A skirt would look lovely. X
hi Stitchy Bee, I'm making the Stella hoodie now. I had some problems initially finding a needle that would work, but found a blue tipped needle does the job. I have made the hood part which I love in a green patterned French Terry with a mustard liner. It has taken me much longer than 3 hours but I am quite a newbie. Thanks for your tips .
Hi Deborah, well done for taking your time, it's much more satisfying. Thanks for following 😃
Beautiful hoodies Cheryl! Love both of them. I just had my Tilly stretch book out the other day looking to see if she had a pair of shorts in there but she didn't. I considered the joggers made into shorts which would be easy enough but I didn't want a tie waist - I was looking for an elastic waist. So I moved on but I'm definitely coming back to the book at some point to make up a few of the patterns. Love Tilly's work too :)
thank you Kathleen 😊 Have a look at the Hudson Pants from True Bias, I think they are elasticated. I bet Jalie patterns have more shorts too.
I do have a Jalie shorts pattern and made up a toile. They have a wonderful waist band I'll definitely use but the shorts are swimming shorts with a pantie lining I don't really need. They also have pockets on the side - a bit fussy for what I had in mind. I have a couple of patterns on my sewing table now that should work well. :) Thank you for your suggestions Cheryl :)
The badge is awesome
Ah thanks!
Fab makes 🤗🤗
thanks Wendy 😊
Again, great video. Loving your explanations of the fabrics. Brilliant for new sewists. I have Stretch and will be giving it a go in the Autumn. Would the hoodie work without the hood? I.e just as a sweatshirt. Thanks again. Gail
Landgirlafloat thank you Gail 🌷Yes, I guess you could omit the hood, but you’d need a neck band instead 👍🏻
Love your vlogs. Just a little tip that keeps all buttonholes from unraveling. Put a little fray check on the thread and they are locked in place. Also in the past we use a small block of wood under the cutter.
Great tips, thank you Glenda 😊
Love your hoodies! I especially like the CT on the grey. Did you mention how you did that?
Just re-watched where you said that you purchased them and ironed them on.
I've already made this and found it super simple. I liked the alternative fabric ideas. I was wondering whether a light jersey with a stretch lace over the top might work?
thank you 😊 I'm not sure about the lace, it may need to stretch to prevent it tearing when putting the hoodie on, but you could always have a go and see.
Thanks for the review, this is on my list to make and it's good to see examples of the fabric 'in real life'. Please can you let me know what size hoodie you made, I am finding the patterns in Tilly's book coming up slightly small and short, and I am a 'regular' size 10 - 5ft6 type person! So am contemplating sizing up this time. Also is the neckline uncomfortable at all? It looks high in the book, so also thinking of dropping it slightly...... thank you very much Jane x
thank you Jane 😊 I made a size 5 and it fits well (I wear a 12-14 usually). You're right, the neck is a little high, I think I may lower it next time too. Nice and warm though for winter.
Has the weather changed again, can't believe you not boiling. Well done for making two hoodies.
Tracy Frost thanks Tracy, yes the weather has changed again, still warm though 👍🏻🌷
Hi Cheryl, love your vlogs - so inspiring - thank you. What is the fit like on the Stella? Does it come up baggy or tight? Thanks!
thank you Chris 🌷. The fit is great on the top half, the sleeves are a slim fit, although I find it a little large around the waist/hip area - and I have plenty of tummy to hide too. Next time I'll re-draw the pattern in a little. Hope that helps.
I received a tube of material that is a stiff jersey from a $5 yard sale box of fabric. It is interlock you think? And this would make a good hoodie? I could use this for one version. I want to make a dress version in printed French terry. I made Tilly's Joani in a printed French terry, it's grey with peach and pink roses, I love It! I like your hoodies, I want to make one soon!
thank you Patricia 😊 Not sure about your fabric, I think it sounds different as an interlock is very soft (like vests worn under clothes). French Terry is fab isn't it? Yours sounds lovely.
How can I sew step ten on the hoody please I am stuck on this step
Thanks Cheryl - your vlogs are always so good and informative. You are very natural and I really enjoy what you have to show and say! Can you please clarify the difference between French terry and interlock? I can see the interlock is lighter but what is fundamentally different about them?
Physio On The River thank you so much Diana 🌷 French Terry is a lighter weight sweatshirt fabric, like you’d see in a sports shop or Gap. Interlock is a soft jersey - think vests in M&S.
Would you consider doing a tutorial when you make you next one. Love them both but especially the grey one.
thanks Lorraine, I'm not sure if Tilly allows others to do tutorials, so I tend to steer clear of them, but I could use other patterns to show technique. I'll have a think and come back 😊
Fabulous makes, Cheryl and I LOVE the CT motif, brilliant! How's the size of the hood? Fancy sharing a pic of you with the hood up on Instagram for us? Jo xx
T and J Woods thanks Jo, I can see you in one with JW on 😃👍🏻 The hood is great, big enough for my massive hair 😂 Will send a pic when I get a min 😘
I love the striped hood! Thank you for sharing. 🙂
thank you so much 😊
You are very welcome! 😌
