Carol, you really are getting your money’s worth from your embroidery machine! Your family is lucky to have your talents. Beautiful makes. Those coasters look cool, so I googled and found the pattern. You have to login to download, so I just did a screenshot. I don’t usually crochet; however, if they are simple, I might give them a try. Thanks! Have a wonderful holiday! See you when you get back. 😊-Deborah
Thanks Deborah! I actually said that to my husband about my machine paying off!! I didn't realise the pattern was still out there for the coasters, I may find it as my photocopy is quite smudged. I am not great at crochet anymore but I do remember it being quite simple and you could get away with mistakes! Have a lovely weekend and thanks as always for your kind comments. 😊🧵
That t-shirt looks great - if you had only known before spending so much time trying to alter the McCall's pattern! Oh, well...now you have a lot of experience and the t-shirts from the McCalls patterns are more than wearable, so not awful. Have a wonderful, safe trip!
Exactly!! All that pattern marking and fitting and all I needed to do was just run one of these up! As you say though, I still have those other T shirts which are perfectly wearable in fact I did this week. Thanks for your holiday wishes and hope you have a good weekend 😊🧵
You have been VERY busy! All of your projects are truly lovely, and the dress for your daughter is so cute!, I feel your pain about sewing for family. I love it, but sometimes it's a difficult task! Congratulations on your solos going well, and I hope your have a wonderful holiday! Looking forward to when you return with happy time and new projects. :D
Thanks Lara! If anyone knows about the stress of solos and music you do! Mind you I can't imagine your boys worry too much. We are at Epcot right now and my daughter is wearing her dress and is so happy with it 👏🏼. Have a great week 🧵😊
Thank you so much Carol, I can't wait to make a few more of those T shirts when I come back 😆, wish I had discovered the pattern before I did! Have a great weekend 😊🧵
Hi Carole! My goodness you have been busy at your machine!! You created some very nice things. Safe travels; enjoy your holiday; and I look forward to seeing you soon!!
Hi Deb, can't wait to see you next week. I will be in touch when we get to Florida with timings etc. I need a break from those machines for sure!! See you soon 💗😘
Both dresses are fantastic! Well done. I hate altering stuff that’s finished, but you did a great job saving your daughters dress and turning the old dress into a top 😊 It’s always so satisfying once it’s done, why do I put it off?! 😂
Thank you so much! Both those dresses were worn on our vacation and we were so pleased with them. I actually wore the 'cut off' top on the plane and it was so comfortable yet pretty it was a great save. Thanks again and I do hope you get lots of crafting time this weekend 🧵😊
The Kitsch coasters reminded me of an afghan that was on the couch growing up. It was wool squares from my grandfather’s old suits that were crocheted together.
I really was! I went to so much trouble fitting the McCalls T shirt the week before and the fit was nowhere near as good! Thanks so much for watching and your comment 😊🧵
Love all your makes and can't wait to see your completed projects when you return! Congrats on being comfortable with your performance! Our daughter played the oboe, and there were many, many hours of practice :) The body bag you made for your daughter is so cute! Maybe I'll try to make one of them, if I can find the fabric, for my granddaughter who is playing Ariel in their middle school musical in a few weeks!! Have a fabulous holiday! Thanks for all you share with us :)
Thanks so much for all your lovely comments. If your daughter plays the Oboe then you know how hard it is to get a nice sound when you aren't that confident! That 'crossbody bag' was such fun to make, I hope you can find the right Ariel fabric for her, the link I think I put in the description box. Thanks again for watching and taking the time to comment 😊🧵
Wow, you have been so busy. Your machines definitely deserve a vacation. So many pretty things. Thanks for sharing. Have a wonderful trip and enjoy seeing all your friends and your time with your family. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much Carol, I think my machines will be very happy to be switched off for a couple of weeks! We can't wait to have this family holiday as it has been planned for a couple of years, I am excited of course to catch up with my Florida Gals as well! Have a lovely weekend 😊🧵
Hi Carole! As always… you get SO much done! I love your daughter’s dress and she is gorgeous! Your dress is beautiful and I love the fabric! I got the Malva tee pattern after watching Stephanie’s video too. I haven’t made it yet but, after seeing yours I want too! I will lengthen the sleeves too. Thank you! I hope you have a wonderful holiday! ❤ Diann
I did a lot last week but I really felt the pressure by the end and am glad to be escaping the machines for a while! Good luck with the Malva Tee, a lot of people have downloaded it by the sounds of it, Stephanie made a good recommendation there! Thanks so much for watching and for your holiday wishes 😘🍓
Thanks Pat. My daughter has been wearing her dress whilst on holiday and looks so pretty in it 👏🏼. That magic dress looks so good on anyone, it's those ties! They hide everything 😆. Thanks for watching 😊🧵
Oh Carole, what a beautiful postcard! She is so talented. She has a great channel too. Your machines definitely need a break! 🤣🤣Your daughter is so adorable with her Disney dress and ears. She looks like a little girl! I love your N6650 dress. GORGEOUS! I'm surprised you sized up since it's a knit and I always size down with knits. I do have that pattern and I want to sew it up. Thanks for the tip. 🪡 That Malva Tee is perfect on you!! How exciting! It's a keeper for sure! ❤🩹 So amazing all the embroidering you've done! BRAVO!!! 👏👏👏Please do a video on how you embroider on a jersey tee. That would be so useful! I'm exactly like you that I can't just sit still on a plane or anywhere for hours doing nothing or watching a movie. I MUST read about sewing, plan a sewing project or sew or craft! That's what I usually do. Time goes bye quicker and i accomplish a lot. You are so funny!!! 🤣🤣🤣 Congrats on your solo obo performance. Can't wait to shop with you at Joann's!!! McCall's patterns are on sale when you come so make your list now!!!!!! YES!!! Have a great trip! 💖💖💖💖
Thanks so much Grace. I will tell Katie she looks young as she is 30 next weekend and is quite shocked about it 😂. My baby girl is growing up! I size up in 6650 as it would be snug fitting and I don't like that on me, I'm way too conscious for that 😱. I did a video last week I think on Embroidering on Jersey and why I think I've had success recently, see if you can find it. Very excited to see you again, I am frantically tidying up my sewing room right now so it's clean and sparkly for my return 👏🏼🥰. See you in a couple of days xxx
Happy Easter! And enjoy your vacation at Disney! All the things you made for your trip is phenomenal, so much sewing. I can’t wait to hear your spring plans. Be well and take care.
Carole-your daughter looks adorable in that dress. After all, it all comes down to how one feels in a garment. I know how you must have felt, putting in time and effort making those sleeves and then cutting them off. I just made a dress that involved button loops, piping, tracing off the PDF pattern to begin with and then the finished dress is just not my style. (and I am so proud of it to boot!) Sigh. Your dress of dreams is lovely and I need to make that free Tee Shirt. It is truly perfect fitting on you. Have an awesome holiday and Happy Easter!🥰
Oh Theresa, me cutting those frills off is nothing compared to what you went through! I wouldn't have wanted her to be uncomfortable in it though or worse, never wear it. Such a shame about your dress, piping and button loops 😭. Hope you have success with the Malva Tee like I did. Have a great weekend and Happy Easter to you too. 😊🧵
Thanks Nancy! I do think you might like the dress as well so try and give it a go! Can't wait to see Jen and the others and I will pass on your wishes. 💗😊🧵
Thank you so much, that is really kind of you. I keep forgetting to say that my daughter also loves the pattern and is a different shape to me, it suits her wonderfully as well. Hope you have success too. Have a good weekend 😊🧵
A very productive week Carole. Both dresses look great especially your magic dress. 😀 You must be tiny to make it from 1.5m! Looks great on you. Have a lovely trip away and enjoy your crocheting.
Thanks, it was another busy week and at times I had the embroidery machine bravely going on its own as too busy to watch it! Believe me I am not tiny, that dress doesn't take much fabric at all luckily. Thanks for watching and have a great weekend 😊🧵
Love your makes this week! And your embroidery, I have a older brother embroidery machine that is my main sewing machine, when you want to do any design It doesn’t have a usb, but a memory card machine, it’s a bit of a faff, I’ve lost my SewJo a bit, haven’t made anything for quite a while, only taken up my husband’s trousers, I’ve been crocheting daisy squares to make a blanket, I’ve done about 130, not sure how many I’m going to do yet but I’m just going to keep going 😊 I hope you have a fantastic holiday with your family, quite envious on both the Disney and the shopping 🛍️ Xx
Hi Anita, so sorry to hear you have lost your sewjo, I am sure it will come back soon and something will inspire you. Interesting to hear you have been crochet squares, have you watched Rachael from French Seams who is hoping to turn lots of squares into a cardigan? We are very excited to be going away especially as it will be so much warmer! Thanks for watching 😊🧵
Magic dress is pure magic. What a lot of sewing! The Malta is your tee! The machine embroidery takes a good bit of time. I used to smock on plane flights. Amazing how much I could get done while waiting in airports and flying.
What I keep forgetting to say about that dress is that it seems to do well on all body shapes, my daughter is very different to me, quite curvy and it looks fab on her! Smocking on plane flights, wow that is incredible, I stick to easy projects! 😊🧵
Gorgeous dresses 🎉 yes new look is good one I like the darts at the back for sway back, I have printed the malva tee going to make it and good to know it’s a great fit 🎉
Oh good luck with the T Shirt, I had to check the website as I didn't realise there was a long sleeve version, mind you I could always add the longer sleeves to my pattern. Let me know how you get on! Thanks for watching 😊🧵
Hi Carole, just ask you made this beautiful.❤ Your dress is beautiful. Your dress turned top looks beautiful too.❤ A PDF??😮😮😮 LOLOL That Malva Tee looks really nice on you.❤
Your “magic” dress really is magical - it looks absolutely stunning on you! And I love Katie’s new dress (even if you had to remove those sleeves). Hubby needs to just say “thank you” when you make something for him 😂 Have a great time in Florida and see hello to the girls for me! Xx 💞
Thanks so much Izzy, the dress also looks super on Katie and she is a very different shape to me. I even made one for her when she was pregnant and it looked fab! Maybe you might like it?!?!? As you say, Chris should have been far more appreciative! I can't wait to get to Florida and see the girls and the SUN. Wish you were coming too though, I will pass on a hug from you. Have a great weekend 😊🧵xxxxx
Wow a free pattern is the perfect fit 👍 well done for sticking it together 😂 your jersey dress with ties at the front is lovely 😍 typical hubby didn’t want picture in the middle but they turned out great. Have a lovely holiday
I didn't complain once about sticking it together, mind you it wasn't many pages 😂. I am quite happy to have a break now from the embroidery machine and I can't believe not one design failed! Thanks so much for watching and have a good week of sewing 😊🧵
Hi Carole, thanks for the catch-up this Friday, and I hope you have a lovely trip!! Enjoy your break, and we'll be thinking of your grand adventure next Friday 😘 You have been busy this week! Isn't that grand? 😁💪 Our double reed section is well-populated this season haha. 4 and sometimes 5 oboes on any week, and I think 3 bassoons! I'm sure your solos were fine, I can't play those with my mother sitting in the front row 😲 (she sits farther back now, and insists that she's still very proud of me.) There's a piece in our next concert that I've got several solo bits to play... Have a great weekend!
Hi Lynn! I have been so busy in the sewing room, I think my machines are begging to be unplugged! 4 or 5 oboes?!?! Oh my goodness, it is normally just me on my own or the 1st Clarinet sometimes plays her Oboe with me. We do have 9 flutes though 😆 I am so glad to hear that it isn't just me that can't play being 'watched' by our nearest and dearest. I wish you good luck on your solos in your next concert, I do not envy you at all! Thanks for watching and have a good weekend 😊🧵
Thanks Anne, so many of us downloaded that T shirt after Stephanie's video, I wonder if she made one? Good luck making it and I hope it is a success like mine. Have a good weekend 😊🧵
Love the modifications for your new dress! Very cute. I thought the black dress was pretty on the mannequin, but tastes differ. Your daughter looks great in her altered version though. Your new tee is perfect! Clever modification. You’re a busy woman. I always read a book on a plane. I guess I’m a slacker.🥴 Enjoy your time away.
You are not a slacker at all! I take a book as well but I find it so hard to concentrate when there are sounds all around, I need silence for some reason 🤣. Thanks so much for your lovely comments on my makes this week, Katie was so much happier with her dress when I took off the sleeves but I really liked it, as you say, tastes differ. Thanks for watching and have a good weekend 😊🧵
Wow! Another bumper crop of sewing! I love those dresses, especially that magic dress. I would love to have that pattern, but sadly I am on a buying ban from my husband. Oh well, when it’s lifted, I will get it then, hopefully. That Malvasia T-shirt is very popular, I’ve seen that several people have made it. That one I can get , it’s free! I love the look of it, but I’m like you, those cap sleeves are entirely too short. Beautiful pictures at the end, as always. Enjoy your visit to Florida, it should be quite warm now.😅
Oh Sue, I have to say it was another exhausting week but I did everything so I'm very happy! A buying ban will not stop you with that Malva Tee pattern 😆, it really was a nice shape but next time I will extend the sleeves as like you say, WAY too short! I have been looking at the temperatures for Florida and can't wait 😎 Thanks for watching 😊🧵
Oh Carole, you are the SWEETEST!!!💓💓💓 I had fun making that post card, and I'm so glad you love it! Those "magic" dresses always look so good on you and will be great for the Florida weather. That dress for your daughter came out beautiful, and the matching bow is so cute! All of the embroidery looks amazing! I downloaded the Malva tee too after Stephanie recommended it, now I can't wait to try it out, and Kudos to you for using a PDF pattern! It really does fit amazing, and with no adjustments at all? The sleeve bands make it look even better than the drawings, I think. Again, you've outdone yourself with fabulous makes this week! I hope you have so much fun in Florida!!❤❤❤-Mary
Hi Mary, once again I will say I had never seen anything like that postcard, I can't wait to have a go and make one myself but I know it won't be as good as yours! Good luck with the Malva tee but watch those sleeves, they are short. I will be interested to see if Stephanie or anyone else makes one? No adjustments were made at all to it, after all the faffing I did with the other one 😂. Thanks for watching and have a great couple of weeks 😊🧵x💗
I just screamed when you talked about Broadchurch! haha. PD & I absolutely loved this series and knew where it was filmed so I've been waiting to see if you'd mention it! And not only did you mention it, you showed photos!!!!! Such a good series. I loved your makes you've been super productive! I just downloaded the Malva when someone mentioned it on their sew frugal video. I definitely want to try it - it looks great on you! And the magic dress is amazing too! I love the dress you made for your daughter. That fabric was gorgeous! (Trying to remember what else . . . this was such a great video!) Have a wonderful time in Orlando! 🧵jacque🧵
Hi Jacque! I knew someone from over the pond would have watched Broadchurch! It brought a lot of investment to the area which is great and it has still retained it's quaint seaside charm, plus we can walk to it from our site. That Malva tee was such a win, I do hope you get round to making it as well and have success. We are excited to be away as a family and to celebrate Katie's 30th birthday and of course I can't wait to catch up with the Florida Gals! Thanks for watching and hope all is well. 😊🧵x
Enjoy your vacation! Great projects for the plane ride. I also need projects on the plane. Your embroidery projects are amazing and so are your garments for this week. It's always fun to see the English countryside. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks Glenda, we can't wait to be all together in Florida as a family. I am glad there are others like me that just have to keep busy on a journey! My husband literally watches film after film, he doesn't even snooze 😂. Have a great weekend and thanks for watching 😊🧵
Thank you Zelda, that is really sweet. I only learnt crochet from RUclips about 8 years ago! Have a go, it is great fun. Have a good couple of weeks 😊🧵
I love the chat about music... I am the same when I play.. But I have been doing this professionally for 50 years and STILL don't invite anyone😂 I don't want to see a face that I recognize until AFTER the concert . As a professional of course it goes well, but my personal thoughts are the same. I am watching your youtube as I make a pair of gig pants for tomorrow night :) Thanks for your fun videos
Hi Nancy, I hope you finished your Gig Pants! Now that makes me feel so much better that even as a Professional you are still wary of having someone you know watching you in the audience 😂. Honestly I go to pot if I think my husband is even listening to me practice! Have a great weekend and hope the gig goes well 😊🧵
I'm so glad you've found a perfect fit tee shirt Carole. You need to wear a halo with all the selfless sewing and patience you have. I look forward to seeing your wheel project. Have a great week Carole.
What a relief to find a T shirt that works! I think I sew for others so I can justify all my machines and equipment 😂. Thanks so much for your lovely comment though and for watching as always 😊🧵x
Hello Carole Well Done It seems that when we sewist have goals for project's we can get a lot done. your's is the trip Everything looks great It would be interesting to lay the pattern pieces out to compare them.the two t-shirts shaping I✂️🧵🪡❤️👗👚s the shoulder narrowed or armholes sized bigger, etc. just to see what about the other pattern wasn't right It would be interesting to see Have a great vacation I also like projects on a plane I hear rumors that Joanne's is going out of business, so there might be lots of sales, lol
I did indeed have a goal and a time limit so you are right, we can achieve anything if we are determined! Interesting thought about comparing those T shirts, I will do that when I return. I keep hearing those rumours about JoAnns too, they will be greatly missed in the US if they do go!! There is still HobbyLobby of course. Thanks for watching 😊🧵
Very successful projects! Exciting plans for spring. I want to make jeans like pants too so will be watching for inspiration. Love the mini-vaca at the end. I watched Broadchurch beautiful scenery. Enjoy your Disney family get away
Thanks Nancy, I need to make quite a few pairs of Spring trousers as looking today at my wardrobe, a lot are quite tatty now! You are right, it is beautiful scenery and you can't beat it on a clear day. Have a great weekend 😊🧵
Another smashing video Carole. The Malva tee looks absolutely fabulous on you and you deserve it after all the work you our into the other pattern; a just reward ! I am looking forward to the return of the Fabric Wheel ! Such fun 😄. Have a wonderful holiday and I look forward to seeing you on your return 😊 xx
Thanks so much for your comment and for watching! That was so funny about the Malva Tee wasn't it 🤣. I'm so happy about my fabric wheel make, I hope you like it too. Have a great week 🧵😊
You've been a busy bee! Your daughter's dress looks great. So sorry about the wasted time with the gathered sleeves. Love your Magic Dress. Great print! Would love to see a tutorial on the Kitch-style coaster. Looks very interesting; very pretty. Looking forward to seeing your Wheel of Fate make. Been busy on this end getting my house ready for the open house on the 30th. So much to get done and pack away! Enjoy your family holiday and your time with Jen and Trish!!! I'll have to put together a busy bag for my flight to Florida after I get my home in San Diego sold. 😘 xx Dori
Hi Dori! Hope you are having a great weekend and how exciting to have an Open house but I bet it is a lot of work. It is only in recent years we have started to learn about them, your house selling process is so different to ours! All my crochet bits are prepped and ready for flight so in a couple of weeks I will let you know how I got on! Hope it isn't a bumpy flight 😂. We are excited for our holiday and the others are now already there, also can't wait to meet up with the Florida Gals and you will be one soon!! Keep up the packing! 💗😘
Yes! A lot of work and prep. I had planned on doing some yard work today, but it is now raining, so was only able to get a little done. I'm planning on moving within the next 2 months, assuming my house sells quickly. Then, I'll be one of the FL babes! 🤣 Can't wait to hear all about the get-together in Orlando. Hope your JoAnn's suitcase is large enough. Big sales going on so you will need a steamer trunk for your haul! 🤣 Hugs to you. Have to great time!!!!@@socarole66
@@SewAndTellwithDori don't worry anything I can't fit in from JoAnns I'll ship home!! I can't see JoAnns lasting long from what everyone keeps saying, such a shame you don't want to end up like the UK without physical stores. I'm so excited for your move as I'm sure you are ❤️ xx
Enjoy your holiday! I live in the states so I will be very interested in what you get from Joann’s! Also, your magic dress looks beautiful! I have the pattern but have put off making it for a while now. I really have to just do it. 😊
Thanks so much Maureen, you must have a go at 6650, it really suits my daughter as well which I always forget to say as she is a different shape to me. I have an empty bag all packed for JoAnns! Have a great weekend 😊🧵
Thank you Ann, we are all very excited as this has been planned for a couple of years. I need to write all my plans down as I know I will forget what I wanted to make when I get back! Have a great weekend 😊🧵
Thanks Agata, I am excited for our trip and the others are already there which means we need to hurry up and get there! I can't wait to see the boys faces at Disney. Have a good couple of weeks 😊🧵xx
Oh I wouldn't torture you like that!! My family hate the sound of it but luckily at orchestra I get drowned out by our large Brass section 😂 Thanks anyway! 🧵😊
Thank you so much you are so kind. We really do intend to make a lot of family memories and Katie is 30 when we are there plus my Grandson will be 7, lots of celebrations! Have a good weekend 😊🧵
Oh I will definitely be stopping at JoAnns don't worry, I am also taking an empty bag with me to the US! Thanks for the heads up on the Disney fabric. Have a good weekend 😊🧵
Loved watching you on the train to London, I’m sitting doing some English paper piecing listening away, absolute bliss! Love the embroidery on the T-shirts, I must have a bit more of a go at embroidery on my machine, I had an arguement with it and haven’t seen it since haha 😂 have a fab trip, so looking forward to photos!
Thanks Adam! Before you get off the train make sure to check your eyebrows for threads 🤣. Have an amazing time at the show and say hello to everyone for me and I'll do the same for you in Florida 😘❤️
I will be quite relieved not to be sewing the next couple of weeks! Normally my daughter looks after Mickey but because we are all away he will go into Kennels. Not the ideal solution as he is older but he has been going there since a puppy and they know him really well plus he will have the company of my daughters dog! 🥰.Have a great weekend 😊🧵
Lovely makes! When I asked at the airport they said I couldn’t take a crochet hook on board…I said it was a wooden one but they wouldn’t budge…might be worth checking it out first? Have a lovely holiday
Thanks so much for that warning. I have taken a crochet hook a few times on a plane to various countries so I hope they haven't changed their policies! Maybe I had better take a secondary project just in case. Have a good weekend and thanks for watching 😊🧵
Love your sewing makes! fyi: a “body bag” is the bag used for containing a corpse, and the term is used world wide, sadly they appear in massive numbers in war zone news clips. Here in the US the small bags that are designed for hanging on the waist are called “fanny packs”, but your phrase “bum bags” is pretty much the same and cute, both phrases are much less offensive than referring to them as “body bags” 😅
The minute I said Body Bag I knew I shouldn't have done! I hope I didn't offend anyone 🫥. When I made those bags for my daughter she informed me that they are no longer worn around the waist they go across the body, hence I said that name 😆. Fashion had moved on and I had no idea! It is hard for me as a British lady to say Fanny Pack I am afraid as it has a very different meaning over here! Let us hope they invent a new name for them soon. Thanks so much for your comment and have a good weekend 😊🧵
@@socarole66 ❤️I am sure that none of us followers were offended. No disrespect intended from me but your original comment made me smile, you showed that you are just one of us women finding the words that don’t want to be found. Maybe we could offer suggestions on a new name such as Travel Pouch or Adventure Bag, then you can choose your favorite or have a random pick, winner can bask in the attention. Personally it would be a fun thing to add to your already fun videos.
@@farmwife7944 thank you for your words. You hit the nail on the head, I often say things I don't mean to but I normally edit them out 🤣. I love Adventure bag and works as your arms are free to do ANYTHING!!
Carol, you really are getting your money’s worth from your embroidery machine! Your family is lucky to have your talents. Beautiful makes. Those coasters look cool, so I googled and found the pattern. You have to login to download, so I just did a screenshot. I don’t usually crochet; however, if they are simple, I might give them a try. Thanks! Have a wonderful holiday! See you when you get back. 😊-Deborah
Thanks Deborah! I actually said that to my husband about my machine paying off!! I didn't realise the pattern was still out there for the coasters, I may find it as my photocopy is quite smudged. I am not great at crochet anymore but I do remember it being quite simple and you could get away with mistakes! Have a lovely weekend and thanks as always for your kind comments. 😊🧵
I love the New Look 6650 dress. ❤
Thank you so much! It is such a good pattern 😊🧵
That t-shirt looks great - if you had only known before spending so much time trying to alter the McCall's pattern! Oh, well...now you have a lot of experience and the t-shirts from the McCalls patterns are more than wearable, so not awful. Have a wonderful, safe trip!
Exactly!! All that pattern marking and fitting and all I needed to do was just run one of these up! As you say though, I still have those other T shirts which are perfectly wearable in fact I did this week. Thanks for your holiday wishes and hope you have a good weekend 😊🧵
You have been VERY busy! All of your projects are truly lovely, and the dress for your daughter is so cute!, I feel your pain about sewing for family. I love it, but sometimes it's a difficult task! Congratulations on your solos going well, and I hope your have a wonderful holiday! Looking forward to when you return with happy time and new projects. :D
Thanks Lara! If anyone knows about the stress of solos and music you do! Mind you I can't imagine your boys worry too much. We are at Epcot right now and my daughter is wearing her dress and is so happy with it 👏🏼. Have a great week 🧵😊
Enjoy Florida every thing is nice, I love the Mickey ears 😊
Thanks so much! We have planned this holiday for a couple of years as a family so all very excited!😊🧵
Have a fabulous holiday. I’m so pleased you have found a teeshirt that you are happy with. Lovely content as always 😊
Thank you so much Carol, I can't wait to make a few more of those T shirts when I come back 😆, wish I had discovered the pattern before I did! Have a great weekend 😊🧵
Hi Carole! My goodness you have been busy at your machine!! You created some very nice things. Safe travels; enjoy your holiday; and I look forward to seeing you soon!!
Hi Deb, can't wait to see you next week. I will be in touch when we get to Florida with timings etc. I need a break from those machines for sure!! See you soon 💗😘
Looking forward to our visit with you!!
Awesome problem solving and makes. Safe Travels and happy holiday for you and your family.
Thanks so much! Hope you have a good weekend 😊🧵
Both dresses are fantastic! Well done. I hate altering stuff that’s finished, but you did a great job saving your daughters dress and turning the old dress into a top 😊 It’s always so satisfying once it’s done, why do I put it off?! 😂
Thank you so much! Both those dresses were worn on our vacation and we were so pleased with them. I actually wore the 'cut off' top on the plane and it was so comfortable yet pretty it was a great save. Thanks again and I do hope you get lots of crafting time this weekend 🧵😊
The Kitsch coasters reminded me of an afghan that was on the couch growing up. It was wool squares from my grandfather’s old suits that were crocheted together.
That sounds amazing Susan, how innovative people were back then! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment 😊🧵
You look so pleased with the Malva top!
I really was! I went to so much trouble fitting the McCalls T shirt the week before and the fit was nowhere near as good! Thanks so much for watching and your comment 😊🧵
Love all your makes and can't wait to see your completed projects when you return! Congrats on being comfortable with your performance! Our daughter played the oboe, and there were many, many hours of practice :) The body bag you made for your daughter is so cute! Maybe I'll try to make one of them, if I can find the fabric, for my granddaughter who is playing Ariel in their middle school musical in a few weeks!! Have a fabulous holiday! Thanks for all you share with us :)
Thanks so much for all your lovely comments. If your daughter plays the Oboe then you know how hard it is to get a nice sound when you aren't that confident! That 'crossbody bag' was such fun to make, I hope you can find the right Ariel fabric for her, the link I think I put in the description box. Thanks again for watching and taking the time to comment 😊🧵
Have a lovely holiday, look forward to seeing your photos and purchases
Thank you so much, I'm sure I will be bringing a few 'souvenirs' home! Have a good weekend 😊🧵
Wow, you have been so busy. Your machines definitely deserve a vacation. So many pretty things. Thanks for sharing. Have a wonderful trip and enjoy seeing all your friends and your time with your family. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much Carol, I think my machines will be very happy to be switched off for a couple of weeks! We can't wait to have this family holiday as it has been planned for a couple of years, I am excited of course to catch up with my Florida Gals as well! Have a lovely weekend 😊🧵
Hi Carole! As always… you get SO much done! I love your daughter’s dress and she is gorgeous! Your dress is beautiful and I love the fabric! I got the Malva tee pattern after watching Stephanie’s video too. I haven’t made it yet but, after seeing yours I want too! I will lengthen the sleeves too. Thank you! I hope you have a wonderful holiday! ❤ Diann
I did a lot last week but I really felt the pressure by the end and am glad to be escaping the machines for a while! Good luck with the Malva Tee, a lot of people have downloaded it by the sounds of it, Stephanie made a good recommendation there! Thanks so much for watching and for your holiday wishes 😘🍓
Thanks for this video. The dress really suits your daughter. I’m definitely going to search for your dress pattern. It looks amazing. X
Thanks Pat. My daughter has been wearing her dress whilst on holiday and looks so pretty in it 👏🏼. That magic dress looks so good on anyone, it's those ties! They hide everything 😆. Thanks for watching 😊🧵
Wow! You have been very busy indeed. Have a great time on your Disney trip.
I really so busy was last week! Thanks so much for watching and for you kind holiday wishes 😊🧵
Oh Carole, what a beautiful postcard! She is so talented. She has a great channel too. Your machines definitely need a break! 🤣🤣Your daughter is so adorable with her Disney dress and ears. She looks like a little girl! I love your N6650 dress. GORGEOUS! I'm surprised you sized up since it's a knit and I always size down with knits. I do have that pattern and I want to sew it up. Thanks for the tip. 🪡 That Malva Tee is perfect on you!! How exciting! It's a keeper for sure! ❤🩹 So amazing all the embroidering you've done! BRAVO!!! 👏👏👏Please do a video on how you embroider on a jersey tee. That would be so useful! I'm exactly like you that I can't just sit still on a plane or anywhere for hours doing nothing or watching a movie. I MUST read about sewing, plan a sewing project or sew or craft! That's what I usually do. Time goes bye quicker and i accomplish a lot. You are so funny!!! 🤣🤣🤣 Congrats on your solo obo performance. Can't wait to shop with you at Joann's!!! McCall's patterns are on sale when you come so make your list now!!!!!! YES!!! Have a great trip! 💖💖💖💖
Thanks so much Grace. I will tell Katie she looks young as she is 30 next weekend and is quite shocked about it 😂. My baby girl is growing up! I size up in 6650 as it would be snug fitting and I don't like that on me, I'm way too conscious for that 😱. I did a video last week I think on Embroidering on Jersey and why I think I've had success recently, see if you can find it.
Very excited to see you again, I am frantically tidying up my sewing room right now so it's clean and sparkly for my return 👏🏼🥰. See you in a couple of days xxx
Happy Easter! And enjoy your vacation at Disney! All the things you made for your trip is phenomenal, so much sewing. I can’t wait to hear your spring plans. Be well and take care.
Thank you so much! I have to say I need a break from sewing and especially embroidery 😂. Thanks for watching and I hope you have a good week 🧵😊
Carole-your daughter looks adorable in that dress. After all, it all comes down to how one feels in a garment. I know how you must have felt, putting in time and effort making those sleeves and then cutting them off. I just made a dress that involved button loops, piping, tracing off the PDF pattern to begin with and then the finished dress is just not my style. (and I am so proud of it to boot!) Sigh. Your dress of dreams is lovely and I need to make that free Tee Shirt. It is truly perfect fitting on you. Have an awesome holiday and Happy Easter!🥰
Oh Theresa, me cutting those frills off is nothing compared to what you went through! I wouldn't have wanted her to be uncomfortable in it though or worse, never wear it. Such a shame about your dress, piping and button loops 😭. Hope you have success with the Malva Tee like I did. Have a great weekend and Happy Easter to you too. 😊🧵
Thank you Carole.🥰@@socarole66
Enjoy your holiday Carole and have a happy Easter
Thank you so much and Happy Easter to you too! 🐇🐣😊
I’m going to have to get my hands on that New Look pattern! Have a wonderful holiday! Say hi to Jen for me! ❤🤗
Thanks Nancy! I do think you might like the dress as well so try and give it a go! Can't wait to see Jen and the others and I will pass on your wishes. 💗😊🧵
Adorable New Look dress on you. WOW!! Beautiful. I might have to get this pattern and make the same adjustments you did.
Thank you so much, that is really kind of you. I keep forgetting to say that my daughter also loves the pattern and is a different shape to me, it suits her wonderfully as well. Hope you have success too. Have a good weekend 😊🧵
A very productive week Carole. Both dresses look great especially your magic dress. 😀 You must be tiny to make it from 1.5m! Looks great on you.
Have a lovely trip away and enjoy your crocheting.
Thanks, it was another busy week and at times I had the embroidery machine bravely going on its own as too busy to watch it! Believe me I am not tiny, that dress doesn't take much fabric at all luckily. Thanks for watching and have a great weekend 😊🧵
Love your makes this week! And your embroidery, I have a older brother embroidery machine that is my main sewing machine, when you want to do any design It doesn’t have a usb, but a memory card machine, it’s a bit of a faff, I’ve lost my SewJo a bit, haven’t made anything for quite a while, only taken up my husband’s trousers, I’ve been crocheting daisy squares to make a blanket, I’ve done about 130, not sure how many I’m going to do yet but I’m just going to keep going 😊
I hope you have a fantastic holiday with your family, quite envious on both the Disney and the shopping 🛍️ Xx
Hi Anita, so sorry to hear you have lost your sewjo, I am sure it will come back soon and something will inspire you. Interesting to hear you have been crochet squares, have you watched Rachael from French Seams who is hoping to turn lots of squares into a cardigan? We are very excited to be going away especially as it will be so much warmer! Thanks for watching 😊🧵
Your dress is lovely on you.
Thank you so much! Every time I make that pattern I am so pleased with it. Thanks for taking the time to comment 🧵😊
Magic dress is pure magic. What a lot of sewing! The Malta is your tee! The machine embroidery takes a good bit of time. I used to smock on plane flights. Amazing how much I could get done while waiting in airports and flying.
What I keep forgetting to say about that dress is that it seems to do well on all body shapes, my daughter is very different to me, quite curvy and it looks fab on her! Smocking on plane flights, wow that is incredible, I stick to easy projects! 😊🧵
Hello from Atlanta! LOVED the blue jersey dress. ❤️
Hello Atlanta! We have visited your city a couple of times and been up the amazing Stone Mountain 🗻😅. Thanks so much for watching 🧵😊
Gorgeous dresses 🎉 yes new look is good one I like the darts at the back for sway back, I have printed the malva tee going to make it and good to know it’s a great fit 🎉
Thank you so much. As you say, the darts in the back would be better for a sway back. Good luck with the Malva Tee, hope it works well for you too 😊🧵
Great video Carol. Would be interested in a coaster video. Have a wonderful holiday.
Thank you so much, I had made those coasters before but I couldn't find any to show sadly! Have a great weekend and thanks again 😊🧵
The new Look dress with front tie looks great on you……!! 😊🇦🇺
Thank you very much, that is so kind of you 😊🧵
Have a lovely holiday.❤
Thanks so much Joanne 😊🧵
I have downloaded that T-shirt Malva I will do the longer sleeve so thank you I am going to give that one a go
Oh good luck with the T Shirt, I had to check the website as I didn't realise there was a long sleeve version, mind you I could always add the longer sleeves to my pattern. Let me know how you get on! Thanks for watching 😊🧵
Hi Carole, just ask you made this beautiful.❤ Your dress is beautiful. Your dress turned top looks beautiful too.❤ A PDF??😮😮😮
LOLOL That Malva Tee looks really nice on you.❤
I know, I did a PDF and didn't moan to myself once!! I must have had a gut feeling it was a winner 😆. 💗
Your “magic” dress really is magical - it looks absolutely stunning on you! And I love Katie’s new dress (even if you had to remove those sleeves). Hubby needs to just say “thank you” when you make something for him 😂 Have a great time in Florida and see hello to the girls for me! Xx 💞
Thanks so much Izzy, the dress also looks super on Katie and she is a very different shape to me. I even made one for her when she was pregnant and it looked fab! Maybe you might like it?!?!? As you say, Chris should have been far more appreciative! I can't wait to get to Florida and see the girls and the SUN. Wish you were coming too though, I will pass on a hug from you. Have a great weekend 😊🧵xxxxx
Hope you have a great vacation, love all your sewing this week.
Thank you very much for being kind about my makes and for watching. Enjoy your weekend 😊🧵
Wow a free pattern is the perfect fit 👍 well done for sticking it together 😂 your jersey dress with ties at the front is lovely 😍 typical hubby didn’t want picture in the middle but they turned out great. Have a lovely holiday
I didn't complain once about sticking it together, mind you it wasn't many pages 😂. I am quite happy to have a break now from the embroidery machine and I can't believe not one design failed! Thanks so much for watching and have a good week of sewing 😊🧵
Hi Carole, thanks for the catch-up this Friday, and I hope you have a lovely trip!! Enjoy your break, and we'll be thinking of your grand adventure next Friday 😘 You have been busy this week! Isn't that grand? 😁💪
Our double reed section is well-populated this season haha. 4 and sometimes 5 oboes on any week, and I think 3 bassoons! I'm sure your solos were fine, I can't play those with my mother sitting in the front row 😲 (she sits farther back now, and insists that she's still very proud of me.) There's a piece in our next concert that I've got several solo bits to play... Have a great weekend!
Hi Lynn! I have been so busy in the sewing room, I think my machines are begging to be unplugged!
4 or 5 oboes?!?! Oh my goodness, it is normally just me on my own or the 1st Clarinet sometimes plays her Oboe with me. We do have 9 flutes though 😆 I am so glad to hear that it isn't just me that can't play being 'watched' by our nearest and dearest. I wish you good luck on your solos in your next concert, I do not envy you at all! Thanks for watching and have a good weekend 😊🧵
Lovely makes. By coincidence I've also downloaded the Malva. I'm excited to try after seeing yours
Thanks Anne, so many of us downloaded that T shirt after Stephanie's video, I wonder if she made one? Good luck making it and I hope it is a success like mine. Have a good weekend 😊🧵
Enjoy the holiday and Happy Easter
Thank you very much, Happy Easter to you too. 🐰😊🧵
Can't wait to see you in all your Disney glory! xoxox
48 Hours and I will be in Florida!!!! ✈️😎Can't wait to see you, it feels like forever 💗😘
Love the modifications for your new dress! Very cute. I thought the black dress was pretty on the mannequin, but tastes differ. Your daughter looks great in her altered version though. Your new tee is perfect! Clever modification.
You’re a busy woman. I always read a book on a plane. I guess I’m a slacker.🥴 Enjoy your time away.
You are not a slacker at all! I take a book as well but I find it so hard to concentrate when there are sounds all around, I need silence for some reason 🤣. Thanks so much for your lovely comments on my makes this week, Katie was so much happier with her dress when I took off the sleeves but I really liked it, as you say, tastes differ. Thanks for watching and have a good weekend 😊🧵
Enjoy your hols ❤
Thank you very much Anne 😊🧵✈️
Wow! Another bumper crop of sewing! I love those dresses, especially that magic dress. I would love to have that pattern, but sadly I am on a buying ban from my husband. Oh well, when it’s lifted, I will get it then, hopefully. That Malvasia T-shirt is very popular, I’ve seen that several people have made it. That one I can get , it’s free! I love the look of it, but I’m like you, those cap sleeves are entirely too short. Beautiful pictures at the end, as always. Enjoy your visit to Florida, it should be quite warm now.😅
Oh Sue, I have to say it was another exhausting week but I did everything so I'm very happy! A buying ban will not stop you with that Malva Tee pattern 😆, it really was a nice shape but next time I will extend the sleeves as like you say, WAY too short! I have been looking at the temperatures for Florida and can't wait 😎 Thanks for watching 😊🧵
Enjoy your holiday
Thank you very much!😊🧵✈️
Oh Carole, you are the SWEETEST!!!💓💓💓 I had fun making that post card, and I'm so glad you love it! Those "magic" dresses always look so good on you and will be great for the Florida weather. That dress for your daughter came out beautiful, and the matching bow is so cute! All of the embroidery looks amazing! I downloaded the Malva tee too after Stephanie recommended it, now I can't wait to try it out, and Kudos to you for using a PDF pattern! It really does fit amazing, and with no adjustments at all? The sleeve bands make it look even better than the drawings, I think. Again, you've outdone yourself with fabulous makes this week! I hope you have so much fun in Florida!!❤❤❤-Mary
Hi Mary, once again I will say I had never seen anything like that postcard, I can't wait to have a go and make one myself but I know it won't be as good as yours! Good luck with the Malva tee but watch those sleeves, they are short. I will be interested to see if Stephanie or anyone else makes one? No adjustments were made at all to it, after all the faffing I did with the other one 😂. Thanks for watching and have a great couple of weeks 😊🧵x💗
@@socarole66 yours will be beautiful I bet- just watch Marie’s scrappy creations-that’s where I learned ❤️❤️
I just screamed when you talked about Broadchurch! haha. PD & I absolutely loved this series and knew where it was filmed so I've been waiting to see if you'd mention it! And not only did you mention it, you showed photos!!!!! Such a good series. I loved your makes you've been super productive! I just downloaded the Malva when someone mentioned it on their sew frugal video. I definitely want to try it - it looks great on you! And the magic dress is amazing too! I love the dress you made for your daughter. That fabric was gorgeous! (Trying to remember what else . . . this was such a great video!) Have a wonderful time in Orlando! 🧵jacque🧵
Hi Jacque! I knew someone from over the pond would have watched Broadchurch! It brought a lot of investment to the area which is great and it has still retained it's quaint seaside charm, plus we can walk to it from our site. That Malva tee was such a win, I do hope you get round to making it as well and have success. We are excited to be away as a family and to celebrate Katie's 30th birthday and of course I can't wait to catch up with the Florida Gals! Thanks for watching and hope all is well. 😊🧵x
Enjoy your vacation! Great projects for the plane ride. I also need projects on the plane. Your embroidery projects are amazing and so are your garments for this week. It's always fun to see the English countryside. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks Glenda, we can't wait to be all together in Florida as a family. I am glad there are others like me that just have to keep busy on a journey! My husband literally watches film after film, he doesn't even snooze 😂. Have a great weekend and thanks for watching 😊🧵
I will miss you over the next 2 weeks. I want to learn how to crochet.😢
Thank you Zelda, that is really sweet. I only learnt crochet from RUclips about 8 years ago! Have a go, it is great fun. Have a good couple of weeks 😊🧵
I love the chat about music... I am the same when I play.. But I have been doing this professionally for 50 years and STILL don't invite anyone😂 I don't want to see a face that I recognize until AFTER the concert . As a professional of course it goes well, but my personal thoughts are the same. I am watching your youtube as I make a pair of gig pants for tomorrow night :) Thanks for your fun videos
Hi Nancy, I hope you finished your Gig Pants! Now that makes me feel so much better that even as a Professional you are still wary of having someone you know watching you in the audience 😂. Honestly I go to pot if I think my husband is even listening to me practice! Have a great weekend and hope the gig goes well 😊🧵
I'm so glad you've found a perfect fit tee shirt Carole.
You need to wear a halo with all the selfless sewing and patience you have. I look forward to seeing your wheel project. Have a great week Carole.
What a relief to find a T shirt that works! I think I sew for others so I can justify all my machines and equipment 😂. Thanks so much for your lovely comment though and for watching as always 😊🧵x
Hello Carole
Well Done
It seems that when we sewist have goals for project's we can get a lot done. your's is the trip
Everything looks great
It would be interesting to lay the pattern pieces out to compare them.the two t-shirts shaping I✂️🧵🪡❤️👗👚s the shoulder narrowed or armholes sized bigger, etc. just to see what about the other pattern wasn't right
It would be interesting to see
Have a great vacation
I also like projects on a plane
I hear rumors that Joanne's is going out of business, so there might be lots of sales, lol
I did indeed have a goal and a time limit so you are right, we can achieve anything if we are determined! Interesting thought about comparing those T shirts, I will do that when I return. I keep hearing those rumours about JoAnns too, they will be greatly missed in the US if they do go!! There is still HobbyLobby of course. Thanks for watching 😊🧵
Very successful projects! Exciting plans for spring. I want to make jeans like pants too so will be watching for inspiration. Love the mini-vaca at the end. I watched Broadchurch beautiful scenery. Enjoy your Disney family get away
Thanks Nancy, I need to make quite a few pairs of Spring trousers as looking today at my wardrobe, a lot are quite tatty now! You are right, it is beautiful scenery and you can't beat it on a clear day. Have a great weekend 😊🧵
Another smashing video Carole. The Malva tee looks absolutely fabulous on you and you deserve it after all the work you our into the other pattern; a just reward ! I am looking forward to the return of the Fabric Wheel ! Such fun 😄. Have a wonderful holiday and I look forward to seeing you on your return 😊 xx
Thanks so much for your comment and for watching! That was so funny about the Malva Tee wasn't it 🤣. I'm so happy about my fabric wheel make, I hope you like it too. Have a great week 🧵😊
CANT WAIT to see you!!!!!!!!!!!
48 hours till I touch down on your shores!! So excited 😘😘💗✈️
@@socarole66 squeeeeeee!!
You've been a busy bee! Your daughter's dress looks great. So sorry about the wasted time with the gathered sleeves. Love your Magic Dress. Great print! Would love to see a tutorial on the Kitch-style coaster. Looks very interesting; very pretty. Looking forward to seeing your Wheel of Fate make. Been busy on this end getting my house ready for the open house on the 30th. So much to get done and pack away! Enjoy your family holiday and your time with Jen and Trish!!! I'll have to put together a busy bag for my flight to Florida after I get my home in San Diego sold. 😘 xx Dori
Hi Dori! Hope you are having a great weekend and how exciting to have an Open house but I bet it is a lot of work. It is only in recent years we have started to learn about them, your house selling process is so different to ours! All my crochet bits are prepped and ready for flight so in a couple of weeks I will let you know how I got on! Hope it isn't a bumpy flight 😂. We are excited for our holiday and the others are now already there, also can't wait to meet up with the Florida Gals and you will be one soon!! Keep up the packing! 💗😘
Yes! A lot of work and prep. I had planned on doing some yard work today, but it is now raining, so was only able to get a little done. I'm planning on moving within the next 2 months, assuming my house sells quickly. Then, I'll be one of the FL babes! 🤣 Can't wait to hear all about the get-together in Orlando. Hope your JoAnn's suitcase is large enough. Big sales going on so you will need a steamer trunk for your haul! 🤣 Hugs to you. Have to great time!!!!@@socarole66
@@SewAndTellwithDori don't worry anything I can't fit in from JoAnns I'll ship home!! I can't see JoAnns lasting long from what everyone keeps saying, such a shame you don't want to end up like the UK without physical stores. I'm so excited for your move as I'm sure you are ❤️ xx
Enjoy your holiday! I live in the states so I will be very interested in what you get from Joann’s! Also, your magic dress looks beautiful! I have the pattern but have put off making it for a while now. I really have to just do it. 😊
Thanks so much Maureen, you must have a go at 6650, it really suits my daughter as well which I always forget to say as she is a different shape to me. I have an empty bag all packed for JoAnns! Have a great weekend 😊🧵
Have a lovely holiday with your family. Then you’ll be refreshed to tackle your plans when you come back.
Thank you Ann, we are all very excited as this has been planned for a couple of years. I need to write all my plans down as I know I will forget what I wanted to make when I get back! Have a great weekend 😊🧵
Fabolous video, Carole. Amazing makes.
Can't wait to hear about your trip.
Enjoy your time with your family
Thanks Agata, I am excited for our trip and the others are already there which means we need to hurry up and get there! I can't wait to see the boys faces at Disney. Have a good couple of weeks 😊🧵xx
I would love to see and hear you play the oboe!!!!!!
Oh I wouldn't torture you like that!! My family hate the sound of it but luckily at orchestra I get drowned out by our large Brass section 😂 Thanks anyway! 🧵😊
Your makes are lovely! Enjoy your holiday! Thank you for the fun video!
Thank you so much Karen, you are always so kind. Have a great couple of weeks 😊🧵
Robin from RSIsland Crafts makes a lot of fabric postcards. Have fun in Florida.
Thank you so much for that channel recommendation, I love discovering new crafts! It was something I had never seen before. Have a great weekend 😊🧵
What a great Friday Sews. I love all your makes. I wish you all a Magical time at Disney creating memories with your family.
Thank you so much you are so kind. We really do intend to make a lot of family memories and Katie is 30 when we are there plus my Grandson will be 7, lots of celebrations! Have a good weekend 😊🧵
Have a great holiday with your family. Another week of great makes xx
Thank you so much Sandra for watching and such a kind comment 😊🧵
New look 6650 is my favorite dress pattern! It always fits me perfectly.
So glad you have success with it as well, I think its a winner for everyone. 😊🧵
Have a great vacation! If you get to Joann’s check out the Disney knits. They had a bunch of new ones at my Joann’s
Oh I will definitely be stopping at JoAnns don't worry, I am also taking an empty bag with me to the US! Thanks for the heads up on the Disney fabric. Have a good weekend 😊🧵
Wow you have been very busy all your makes are fantastic you must so happy with the tshirt have an amazing holiday see you next time😊😊😊
Thanks Robyn, I am so relieved I've managed to do all that I wanted 😅. That T shirt was such a winner! Have a good weekend 😊🧵
Loved watching you on the train to London, I’m sitting doing some English paper piecing listening away, absolute bliss! Love the embroidery on the T-shirts, I must have a bit more of a go at embroidery on my machine, I had an arguement with it and haven’t seen it since haha 😂 have a fab trip, so looking forward to photos!
Thanks Adam! Before you get off the train make sure to check your eyebrows for threads 🤣. Have an amazing time at the show and say hello to everyone for me and I'll do the same for you in Florida 😘❤️
My embroidery machine has an attitude. Have to catch her on a good day. 😅
I watched Broadchurch!
Amazing! You will be able to picture us there now but I hope there aren't any murders 😂. Thanks for watching 😊🧵
Wow Carole, you have been busy ! Fabulous makes really loved your daughters dress. Who looks after Micky while your away? Have a lovely holiday x
I will be quite relieved not to be sewing the next couple of weeks! Normally my daughter looks after Mickey but because we are all away he will go into Kennels. Not the ideal solution as he is older but he has been going there since a puppy and they know him really well plus he will have the company of my daughters dog! 🥰.Have a great weekend 😊🧵
Lovely makes!
When I asked at the airport they said I couldn’t take a crochet hook on board…I said it was a wooden one but they wouldn’t budge…might be worth checking it out first? Have a lovely holiday
Thanks so much for that warning. I have taken a crochet hook a few times on a plane to various countries so I hope they haven't changed their policies! Maybe I had better take a secondary project just in case. Have a good weekend and thanks for watching 😊🧵
Have a lovely holiday 😊
Thank you very much ✈️😊
Love your sewing makes! fyi: a “body bag” is the bag used for containing a corpse, and the term is used world wide, sadly they appear in massive numbers in war zone news clips. Here in the US the small bags that are designed for hanging on the waist are called “fanny packs”, but your phrase “bum bags” is pretty much the same and cute, both phrases are much less offensive than referring to them as “body bags” 😅
The minute I said Body Bag I knew I shouldn't have done! I hope I didn't offend anyone 🫥. When I made those bags for my daughter she informed me that they are no longer worn around the waist they go across the body, hence I said that name 😆. Fashion had moved on and I had no idea! It is hard for me as a British lady to say Fanny Pack I am afraid as it has a very different meaning over here! Let us hope they invent a new name for them soon. Thanks so much for your comment and have a good weekend 😊🧵
@@socarole66 ❤️I am sure that none of us followers were offended. No disrespect intended from me but your original comment made me smile, you showed that you are just one of us women finding the words that don’t want to be found. Maybe we could offer suggestions on a new name such as Travel Pouch or Adventure Bag, then you can choose your favorite or have a random pick, winner can bask in the attention. Personally it would be a fun thing to add to your already fun videos.
@@farmwife7944 thank you for your words. You hit the nail on the head, I often say things I don't mean to but I normally edit them out 🤣. I love Adventure bag and works as your arms are free to do ANYTHING!!
