Summer poncho….ingenious! I don’t like wearing outerwear that goes over the head, but I love the look of all your ponchos. Glad surgery went well. Take care and recuperate! ❤
Hi Carol, thank you for a great video-even with a damaged arm. I love your poncho, just genius. And so
Interesting to see your needlecraft schoolwork. Look after yourself as your arm heals x
I am glad your surgery went well, Carole. Fingers crossed for speedy recovery. Don't push yourself too quickly.
Your poncho is great :)
Wonderful to see you up and about and enjoying being in your sewing room. Wishing you a speedy recovery but take your time... no need to reply!
Great photos Carole, sending prayers for a speedy recovery, but please don't get too anxious to use your are for anything and let it heal. No one wants to have a lingering ache from an old injury. Take care of yourself and we will look forward to your sewing makes, when you are all better. Your photos are wonderful. Someday I would love to visit your part of the world, for now, home is in the heart of the USA.
I hope hubby brings back some goodies from Mexico for you. Wishing you a speedy recovery. ❤️🩹
Lovely to see you Carole! I’m glad the surgery is behind you and I wish you a very speedy recovery! The poncho was genius!!! And it looks great! I’ve never heard of buttonhole scissors, that was really interesting to see! The countryside looks absolutely gorgeous!
Glad it all went well 👍 take it easy. Loved the poncho ❤ X
Sending prayers
I’m glad you felt well enough to do a video. I am going to check into the puzzle idea. It sounds really interesting.
So lovely to see congratulations on doing some sewing love the poncho finding old patterns in op shops is fun take care of yourself best wishes for a speedy recovery 😊😊😊
So fun to see you up and about and feeling well. I love your red top with the gathers. Thanks for showing the pretty fabric you found. My mother had probably every sewing tool on the planet. She had button hole scissors and a button hole cutter, which looks kind of like a chisel. So fun to see the retro patterns. I was able to cut out two tops for me this week. I just put the button holes in the first one and then all I have to do is the hem. Hoping to have them both finished by tomorrow. Have a wonderful week and try to take it easy with your arm.
So pleased to see you this week, I'm glad that your arm is getting better and better!
Loved your poncho and fabrics, but I especially love your Needlework book from school!
Sending lots of love xo
It's great to see you looking so well after your surgery. Sending prayers for a quick and full recovery. I always enjoy your photos of the countryside.
Lovely to see you looking so well. Great pics of Maiden Castle. Super spot. 😊
Hi Carole hope you're doing well! Praying for a speedy recovery for your arm. I am with you through thick and thin. Thank You Carole for always showing beautiful pictures at the end. ❤ 👏
Hi Carole, love the drape on that poncho. Wishing you a great weekend and full recovery. Hope the weather improves too!! Sending good vibes 🌻☀️
I’m in the Netherlands. We are having the same wintery weather as you! It makes it difficult to get enthusiastic about summer makes.
Take care of your arm. Let it heal and skip us for a week if need be.
I found a pair of buttonhole scissors in a box that was given to me.....had never seen them until recently. Praying for you a great recovery.
So good to see you and glad the surgery is over and you are not pushing it so you don't wind up setting yourself back - patience is a virtue, they say! Love the pretty print fabric for the "magic dress" and the knits look so soft and comfortable, too. Yes, the Red Arrow photos were a treat but I also love the countryside photos as well. The Blue Angels usually perform at an air show not far from me in Atlantic City, New Jersey, U.S.A., but they unfortunately suddenly canceled the show in August this year so I am doubly glad to have seen your air show photos. Hope you feel better every day!
P.S. - love the bunny, too!
Carole, I love that POSH tee! Gorgeous color on you. I just added that Butterick pattern to my list. I've been thinking of you all week and your arm surgery. That poncho is so COZY! I prefer an invisible zipper foot also. I have a button foot but I've never used mine. I'll have to try it. How cool that you found the patterns from when you were 15! True Retro patterns. I've never used buttonhole scissors. I use a blade. Don't worry about responding. A heart is great. I hope you recover soon! ❤❤❤
You look well after your surgery Carole. I hope it’s relatively painless. The buttonhole scissors are fascinating. I do have a very old inherited pair and I wasn’t sure how to use them. I think mine are not ‘sharp’ so probably no longer useable. I’d be fascinated to see a video on them. Love the clothes you made - specially the poncho. It falls very nicely. The doll patterns are usually easier than you think and I’ve had good luck using the shiny plastic side of poppers as eyes for those sorts of things. Less creepy.Good luck with being ‘home alone’ and rapid healing. Trish S
Lovely to see you Carol your looking so well considering the operation. I’m definitely going to make a poncho I think that will be great for winter in my sewing room, not so restricting like a heavy jumper. 😊
Sending prayers for your speedy recovery. I love the countryside photos at the end of your videos. If I didn't comment on your video with the planes- that was fantastic! Thanks for sharing your makes.
Hi Glenda, thanks so much for your comment. The elbow is getting more moveable and less painful so alls good!
Glad you enjoy not only the countryside photos but the planes! Everything is dull after that 🤣. Enjoy your week 🧵😊
I wish you all the best with your arm and a quick recovery! Always looking forward to your #fridaysews Videos! Greetings from Leipzig, Germany
Glad the op went OK. Don't try and do too much too soon. I only discovered the joy of sewing buttons on using my sewing machine a couple of months ago - revelation! My Brother came with the button foot included and I just thought I'd give it a go for a shirt I made. I also looked at some of those buttonhole scissors (made in Sheffield - my home town and famous for steel and cutlery), but in the end decided on a buttonhole cutter - like a small chisel. It works very well. Take care.
Thank you for your video, I hope your arm heals quickly.
Glad your op went well Carole. I love the doll pattern. I'm itching to make more dolls clothes for my 4 yr old granddaughter's dolls 🪆
I hope you're able to get back to sewing soon.
I loved looking at your school book. I'm so sad that I didn't keep mine 😢. I remember I had a sample of all the different seams and stitches we learned.
Thanks for another great vlog.
Most people don’t realise how sewing equipment and a lot of other things are made for right handers. Sometimes it is difficult to find good left handed scissors. I hope your arm heals quickly and you get back to your sewing. WTH very best wishes.
Hi Carole 😊, so nice to see you doing well 👏🏼👏🏼. You have great movement in your arm, just be careful not to over do it. You got beautiful fabrics from BTPD (love the blue 😊). I’ve never seen a buttonhole scissors 🤔🤔. You are right, last week’s photos of the planes were just AWESOME. Take care and don’t rush… 💕💕
So sorry that I did not comment at your video announcing your surgery. You seem to be doing fine and in such good spirits and your brain is on overtime! Love that you shared your notebook, how interesting. I have that poncho pattern and of course you have inspired me to make it. The knickers must have been the talk of the hospital, so cute. You are so sweet I wish I could have a cup of tea with you. The pictures are beautiful. My son traveled to England in April and so enjoyed it and brought me back some Liberty of London fabric ❤. Can you not do handwork? This recovery time is great for planning and dreaming. Hope you are feeling good and get back to that machine in no time!
Glad the surgery is now behind you and I hope you're recovering well. I love the poncho jumper, and a great idea for post surgery. Love the idea of new knickers, I made "hospital pyjamas" for my first ever operation last year then never wore them as by the time I came round it was late and changing was too much of a chore, also a patient nearby had no overnight things as she'd been told she wouldn't need to stay so she was still in her gown anyway.
Love Maiden Castle, as a child we flew kites up at Badbury Rings but now I'm nearer to Maiden Castle. Hope you're back sewing soon (or already :) )
Hi Sarah, I am back sewing again so thank you so much for your wishes. I did very light projects last week though, nothing heavy. So funny you went to the trouble of making Hospital Pjs then never ended up wearing them! That sort of thing would happen to me too.
We only live about 20 mins from Badbury Rings and go to Kingston Lacy often, I am sure you know of that. I had heard of Maiden Castle but never been, we can't have been far from you that weekend!
Thanks so much for watching 🧵😊
I’m so glad your surgery went well and you are doing so well.
I would love to make that tshirts you are wearing!!❤
I have never heard of button hole scissors! That is a new one on me.
So glad that you checked in! I wish you a good recovery and relaxation.
Great vlog as always, good to hear your surgery went well, don’t rush recovery, take care 😊
Hope you have a smooth recovery. Right hand/arm injuries are a real challenge.
Take care Carol.. I knew you'd find a way to do something sewing related.. good for you..
You look good, Carole! I’m sure you’re happy that the surgery is over and now you can heal! Don’t do too much too soon. (I did! 😜). Thanks for the update. Ooh, that French scenery fabric is gorgeous! Buttonhole scissors? I didn’t know anything about them! Take care! ❤️❤️
Hi Carole. It’s great you’re doing so well. You’re a trooper! The pajamas are so pretty… I love how you did an appliqué to tie them together. I use my button sewing foot a lot. I think I may be lazy but, I love sewing the buttons on by machine😂 I had never seen the scissors for buttonholes before. It’s very interesting how they work. Your sewing book is awesome! Have a great weekend! ❤ Diann
So happy to see a video this week! Love the poncho and the little applique on the PJ top - super cute! I had such a giggle at your comments on the photos… very smart to send Chris ahead just in case. 😂 Hope your arm continues to mend and that you can get some sewing done this week. Xx 💞
Does your machine have a knee lift? If so, it’s a game-changer! It lifts and lowers the presser foot for you! It’s like having a third hand! It takes some getting used to at first, but, eventually you will wonder how you ever sewed without one! Continuing to keep you on my prayers for a speedy recovery! 😘💗
😘
Thank you, Carole, for this great video and awesome pictures. Please take good care of your arm to heal properly. Have a good weekend ❤
Take care and don’t push yourself too much, you need to rest up x
Carol, I hope you feel better real soon.
Suza
I hope the poncho pattern is still in print. I’d love to make one. It looks so warm and cozy! Glad to see you’re recovering well ❤ About your photos at the end of your videos…please keep them coming! I look forward to seeing them and enjoy them very much, including your airplane footage! 😊 Take care!
Hi, Carole, what a great video! You were very busy, I just don’t know how you do it. I love your makes this week, so beautiful. Even the shorts, the fabric is gorgeous. I love the yardage for the new dress, I have some similar only it has Paris scenes and the Eiffel Tower, I love that type of fabric for dresses. I’m so glad to hear your surgery went well and you are recuperating, please don’t overdo and injure your arm. Everything can wait until you are better. You are correct about sewing machines being made for right handed people, I have a knee lift for my Juki that solves that problem. I think I remember you saying that your Juki came with one. If so, there you go, solved. Have a wonderful and restful weekend, and remember, no replies necessary. Take care😊
Thanks for your comments. What I didn't tell anyone is that I managed to 'break' my Juki last weekend so I am waiting for it to be mended. Not great timing as yes, it did have a foot lift! 😂
Glad to see you back so soon after your op. Loved your poncho and your tee shirt. Here’s hoping for a speedy return to full mobility. Pat 😛🌺
What a great idea to hem the shorts with bands. Genius😊. Your finished sports bra and shorts look really good. Well done👏
Hi there, thanks for your comment but I am thinking it was for KGFL creations FSews? Don't worry I have done that before, typed a message then realised the video has moved on! 😂
Oops😫. Sorry about that
So great the surgery is done! Get well! No need to respond!🎉🎉🎉
Loving your ‘posh’ t shirt, Carole. I’ve been making a few simple t shirts this week but I really like your elevated version. The sleeve looks so neatly sewn. Really like your new patterned viscose jersey ‘French style ‘fabric. Perfect for your magic dress.
Hope your arm gets back to full sewing strength very soon! 💪
Hi there, my arm is on the mend thank you!
Isn't that French fabric wonderful? I can't wait to get that sewn up and I think just a simple dress would work best for the fabric. Thanks for watching 🧵😊
Aaw lovely to see you Carole, and you look very well indeed. I love the emergency poncho. Genius 😊. Don’t forget the DX5 and the DX7 have a presser foot up/down button on the front 😁 not the solution to all your current difficulties, but every little helps. Take care and that’s for the video 😊xx
Thanks Shelly, sadly my Juki is waiting to be repaired as I 'broke' it last week, great timing eh?!
@@socarole66 😆 Oh Carole, what are you like ? !! You do make me laugh. By the way, you made me buy the emergency poncho pattern 🤣 Take care xx
The poncho for a win. Before I got my current machine which came with a button foot, I would just remove my foot and lower the shank down on top of the button. It worked alright, but the button foot was more secure.
Hi Carole. I know what you mean about sewing for far away grandkids. It’s hard to guess at the size when patterns vary so greatly. I would suggest trying some audiobooks during your recovery. Great way to keep occupied when your hand is out of commission.
Great idea!
You just take it easy Carole. That puzzle is amazing! i need to check these out as I have a friend that loves doing puzzles. Loving your footage at the end-that castle must have been amazing in its day.❤🙏
Hope you feel better soon. I need to find the poncho pattern. I have been fighting a shoulder injury for months. I have debated about making a regular poncho, but never did. I really like this pattern
Oh My Goodness, Carole, I have the same Lady McElroy fabric, also from BTPD, making its way across the pond to me! I just couldn't resist. I'm happy to see you are on the mend, but I hope you aren't over doing it. You got so much accomplished! It's funny you kept the sewing book for so long. I have done the same thing, but mine is from high school biology, when we had to dissect frogs. Haha. Take care and have a great weekend.
😆🐸
@@socarole66 💛
So glad your op' went well.
Nice to see Maiden Castle I used to walk my Dalmatians over there..exciting on a windy day 😂
How wonderful you kept a book from school days. Nice to see the old patterns. I used to have a pair of buttonhole scissors but lost them.
An interesting jigsaw of Gold Hill I'm sure your grandson enjoyed finding the pieces for you they feel so important when they can help😊The poncho was an excellent idea to keep you cosy.
Thank you for your time especially this week as i didn't expect to see you. Take care Carol and don't overdo things xx
😊
Hi Carole. Nice to see you and wishing you a swift recovery. I do have a question for you, but it I’ll save that until you are able to type again. It is a shame that you’ve had to make a poncho to wear in July. Our summer weather is just rubbish this year so far. Nice poncho by the way.
Hi Carole, your poncho shirt is great. Try not to do too much. You don't wanna be paying for it later. You look great.
How lovely to see you back - I had worried that you might not be able to manage a vlog this week. I hope your arm heals quickly and you're able to get back to your sewing which I know makes you happy.
Great video, as usual. Loved the “Bulls in field” sign! Glad to hear you plan to take it slow after your surgery. Bones do take a long time to heal. Even when they feel good, they’re still fragile. (Retired nurse, here) So don’t rush your recovery. Do it right and you’ll only have to do it once! Sounds a bit like good sewing advice, doesn’t it?
I wanted to let you know that after your last video, I decided to break down and get Simp 8814 (the pants pattern that you and Vivmom rave about) since Joann’s had a $1.99 pattern sale going for Independence Day. Wouldn’t you know, the pattern was discontinued last month! 😩 I was shocked. Let that be a lesson to me NOT to wait to buy something I want! I’m sure I could find it online, but since I’ve retired my finances are very tight, so I won’t be paying $10-15 for a pattern which I SHOULD have bought for $1.99! 😹
Enjoy your “leisure” time with lots of puzzles and books and Netflix! Your sewing will be there waiting when you’re FULLY recovered. 💕
Hi Carole, been thinking about you and how you were after your OP. Enjoyed your vlog as always.
Oh your poor arm. I understood your problem fitting something over it. When i broke my elbow I borrowed tshirts from my husband and son. But because of complications, I ended up wearing a cumbersome bulky brace for many months. Unfortunately it was during the winter in Canada. I ended up shopping at thrift stores for sweaters and tops with large roomy sleeves. I even had to find a winter coat. I also found out the world is very right hand oriented. How fun you have an actual record of the patterns you made! Whenever I find sewing patterns in thrift stores i I always search for any i might have sewn when i was young. And when I do, of course I buy it. My plan is to one day make some kind of collage with them to hang in my sewing room. Your granddaughter will love her birthday doll.
I am so sorry to hear you had to wear a brace for months! At least I only had to wear mine for a few days, that must have been so hard for you x
I@@socarole66 It made me more aware of anyone with a disability of any kind and how they adapt.
Hi Carol! I've been sewing for over 50 years and never heard of buttonhole scissors. What an ingenious invention. Also, thanks for the S9430 pattern number. I made that one several years ago, loved it, loaned it to a friend and it was returned with several missing pieces before I moved. I trashed it, not thinking to keep the pattern number. Before internet lol. Now I can also keep my eyes open for it. Wishing you a speedy recovery for your arm. No comment necessary, just get well. 🫖☕🥮Bernadette
Good to see you Carole! I love seeing your old sewing school book. I wasn't lucky enough to have sewing in school but my kids did. Wishing you a speedy recovery ❤
So pleased to see you. Take care and take it easy🙏🍫🤗
Thank you Carole,wishing you a speedy recovery❤ I have ordered the poncho pattern as yours looks great, so much for the summer weather.😃
Carole so happy your surgery is over. You look great!! The poncho is a win win. You tee is lovely as well. I can’t imagine trying to cut with my left hand. 🥴. Don’t try to overdo and enjoy the downtime as hard as it is. Prayers for your speedy recovery 🙏
Hi Carole, lovely to see you back, take it easy and recover well. Going to see if I can get hold of the poncho pattern. Keep your eye on flight radar, always good for whiling away some time.
I'm impressed that you felt well enough to vlog Carole. I'm hoping the op went OK! Oh wow, getting those old style patterns is very impressive too. You will be chomping at the bit to get sewing again. Please take care though! Nice to see you. Re the dolly, go for one that looks most like her maybe. Get well soon.😊
Hi Carole! So good to see you!! Sounds like you have been able to keep yourself as busy as you can be this week. You take care now!
Hi Carole! I have been wondering about your surgery, and worrying, as I do! But I'm glad to hear it's over and you are doing a great job of keeping yourself busy, what a cool Jigsaw!!! That poncho and those PJS look awesome! Don't worry about responding, you deserve some time off, take care of yourself! I love that old sewing book, I wish I had kept mine, I'm sure they made us take notes, but I barely remember.....🤣Get well soon! 💓💓💓
A few videos back you and Izzy did a collaboration on the fold you get on t shirts. I have never had that happen. I have to go the other route and make a small bust adjustment, and for the first time I recall the folds are there on my dress. I’m assuming the pattern requires a dart.
Sorry Carol I was wondering why everyone was talking about your arm😮 I had missed this video due to having my dog get surgery and it was a long journey to the vet was and then a long day so my apologies ❤ wow wish I had my school sewing book such great drawing of the patterns
Hi Sandra, I am so sorry to hear about your doggie. How is he/she now? It is always a worrying time when a beloved pet is poorly.
Thanks so much for watching and your comment, never worry about missing a video, there is just too much to do in life! 🧵😊
Hi Carol I've been away for a few weeks. Do let yourself heal properly. I wish you well. Ps you don't need to reply, I will be OK with that. Soon you will be back to normal ❤❤
Wow, love that Poncho. How far up the is the side seam sleeve attached? LOL I've got a soar shoulder and that design
would make any cover-up work well.
Thanks from Canada
Thank you, the only tight bit is the bit from the wrist to the elbow after that it is all really spacious!
@@socarole66 Thanks. I have a poncho pattern I can work with. How many inch up from the bottom hem does
the elbow begin? This is going to be great. Smiling!
