What a thorough review. Thank you.
Barbara Lies thanks Barbara 💐
Your outfit is gorgeous and fit you beautifully. As always you have some gorgeous fabric in, love the different types of denim.
NaturalDane thank you so much 💐
Great video - thank you!
Helen Gilkison thanks Helen 💐
Thank you Cheryl for all these helpful tips re denim. Great tip too about putting a pin in one end of your buttonhole before cutting it. That could definitely save a serious headache :) Another great pattern for jeans is the Eleanor by Jalie. Love this pattern. They are a pull on jean with "fake" fly but Jean has also a video instruction on youtube for making them up which is terrifically helpful. You might like to try this pattern :)
Kathleen Meadows thank you Kathleen 💐😘 I’ve heard good things about the Jalie jeans, will check them out 👍🏻👍🏻👖
Hi Cheryl, thanks for another informative video, the dungarees look fab on you, they are very flattering
Tracey Bingham thanks Tracey 💐😘
Great denim video!And I am so glad you wrote the beauty products you use because I always admire how lovely your curls look!thank you
muhlenstedt thank you so much 💐🐝
Love love love the floral stretchy denim! They would make a gorgeous pair of Sew Over It Ultimate Trousers ,which is the best pattern ever... I think I've made about 6 in total to date. Brilliant review,Thankyou so much. 😊
Lynne McLeod thanks Lynne 💐🐝 I really must try that pattern 👍🏻👍🏻
What a brilliant effort! They look great on you despite your reservations. Very neat too!
June Garford thanks June 😘🐝
Another great presentation.
John Dekker thank you 💐
A couple of ideas... if you leave your straps long, you can put a button whole on them & sew flat (clear colored, so the are better hidden) buttons on your front flap (to keep them from poking out). On your thread snarling with thicker thread, if you use a larger needle &/or use regular thread in the bobbin, it might work better. ☺ Maybe? ☺
Great video Cheryl. You look so slim in your dungarees and they fit so well. Your denim review was really helpful too. 🤗🤗
Ruth Lanwarne thanks Ruth 😘💐
Love all the denim you showed!,,
Melinda Ryder thanks Melinda 💐
Love the dungeeres. Also I want to thank you for the button hole pin tip. I'm always ripping button hole and that tip I was like 😲 amazing.
Akram Taghavi-Burris thank you Akram, it’s so useful that tip, really helped me too 💐🐝
The dungarees look great on you. All the fiddley things you think are ‘wrong’ no one will actually notice :) it’s a good review! I won’t wear something like this because of my large bust. Thank you for sharing your knowledge! Love you, mwah:)
The Write Yohansen aww, thank you so much 😘😘
Cheryl love your dungarees. I've made the Cleo in denim & I was given a great tip for using thicker top stitching thread. Thread machine with top stitching thread on the top, use ordinary polyester thread for your bobbin in a colour to match your denim. Make stitches slightly bigger eg 3mm-3.5mm. Use a purpose made top stitching thread needle in machine. Sew a little slower. I tried & got great results. My Cleo was my most worn item last year. Really enjoy your vlog.
Tracy Charalambous thank you Tracy 😘💐 I tried the bobbin trick but my machine isn’t playing ball 😂 Must try again by changing the stitch length as you suggest 👍🏻
Love your videos Cheryl. Looking forward to next week’s fabric storage one. You look great in your dungarees by the way - don’t think I could pull them off!!
claire crome thanks Claire, I bet you could! 😘😘
Cute dungarees! Love all the denim choices! I can’t wait for the fabric storage! I could use some tips!
Aquilterknits thanks Pam 💐🐝
Love your dungarees and your review! I added the Lander pants patch pockets to mine as well as belt loops.
opiatepix thank you 😊 Fab idea 🎉
Nice pattern review and button tips!! They look great on you!!
KJ Louisi thanks Kathryn 💐🐝
Great video. I love your dungarees! And as someone else said, "What hips?" You have a great figure and always look very stylish in your makes. 🤓
Jenni Alfabetico thanks Jenni 😘💐
Fab as always
Lesley Jones thanks Lesley 💐
Hi Cheryl, great dungarees, the best ones I've seen 😐. I think they are very flattering on you. Can't believe you made a size 5, you look smaller than a 14 to me. Great tips. I'm not 100% on them for me yet, but you never know I may change my mind! They go great with your Agnes top. When you do make the Coco, you'll be hooked. A quicker make compared to the Agnes. Would you mind me asking your measurements? I'm a size 3 top in the Cleo and I grade out to a 4 for the hip area. If I do make them, I'd definitely use the same denim you have x
Karen Court thanks Karen 🌷 I’m 38/31/40 at the mo. Looking forward to trying the Coco 👍🏻
Great video, I love your fabrics, just deciding what to make. I fancy the Ginger jeans but I like the idea of the Ultimate trouser in denim.
Julia Droy thanks Julia, yes the Gingers look fab. Do both! 😂💐🐝
Ah Cheryl!!! I just got some of that camera denim!!! OMG!! My grandaughters birthday is 02/18 and I"m getting her one of those cute polaroid camers!! I will make a bag to go with it!! how cute will THAT be!! Thank you!
KJ Louisi perfect! Thanks Kathy, I’ll rush it to you straight away 👍🏻💐🐝 What a lovely idea. X
Stitchy Bee thank you!
Haya Cheryl, thank you for your lovely vlog. Your dungarees are great, the fit is great on you. I have an idea with the excess strap fabric, so it does not flap about how about making a loop inside, just like for a belt loop on pants but obviously inside the pinafore bib, kinda also like you find on ties. I hope I have explained that all ok? Hope you are well & not too busy? Thank you for sharing. XX
anna lamb thanks Anna, great tip 💐👍🏻xx
Lovely fabrics as always Cheryl and your Mila's are lovely, gosh you really do not have large hips!, take care xx
Stitched Up! Thanks lovely 😊
Love your Mila dungarees!
ChelzHeartsART thank you so much 💐🐝
Love your dungarees Cheryl. Think the facing is so pretty. I see what you mean re the buttons down the side. It looks great on you though! Great review as always and lovely denims you have in stock. Thanks for the info on them. Amanda from I Sew A Lot did a great video on top stitching using a blind hem foot as a guide. Ever since I seen that video I just love top stitching as it makes it so easy! P.s. you’d make a great children’s tv presenter, especially with that outfit. I’m gonna be 50 this year and will wear my dungarees with pride - if I ever get round to making them, that is! 😻
Agnes D thanks Agnes, love Amanda, she’s fab. Will go find her video on topstitching 👍🏻👍🏻 Wow, you don’t look anywhere near your age, and go girl for making dungarees 💪🏻😘😘
They look amazing on you! You look better than Meryl. You convinced me on instagram I wasn't too old now I just need to see some shorties wearing them to convince me I'm not too short! I adore the pink top stitching!
AmeliaranneStiggins thanks Amelia 💐 Go girl! Life is short 😘😘
Hi Cheryl, the dungarees look lovely on you and definitely don't make your hips look big. Great denims and I live in jeans so I think they will have to be on my to do list one day. I will think of your shop if I do for sure👍😘👖
Sally Dingle thanks Sally, there are so many fab jeans patterns out there. Have a look on Craftsy too, I bought a jeans course by Angela Woolf 👍🏻👖😘
Stitchy Bee thanks for that Cheryl. I will investigate 👍😘
Look really good on you, I like the pink stitching. Great review.😊
Helena Wagstaff thanks Helena 💐
If you move the top button at the waist a tad it'll tighten up a little bit... you have done a nice job, and it looks very nice on you.😀
Janice K thanks Janice 💐👍🏻
Have you tried sewing with an ordinary thread in the bobbin and the top stitch thread through the machine . What is the blush satiny fabric in the background,it looks stunning. The dungarees really suit you
Maureen Cullen thanks Maureen, yes I did try the bobbin trick, but no joy. The blush satin is online at www.stitchybee.co.uk it’s called Dusky Pink Satin and it’s £3.50 per half metre 👍🏻💐🐝
Thanks
Lander pant pockets might work. 🤔
Michelle the Mama thanks Michelle 👍🏻😘
Hello. Thanks for the great vid. You say you found it big, may I ask what your usual size is and how far off it was? Thanks!
On your straps make a buttonhole in the facing near the top. Then just tuck the strap in the buttonhole. It will stay put and no seams showing. 😉
Carolyn Windley fab idea, thanks Carolyn 💐🐝
Stitchy Bee ☺
Lovely fabrics. I bought the cherry denim, I’ve put it in my stash for now but I’m planning a summer skirt.
I really like the burda pattern so it’s on my list. Just a quick question, could the dungarees be made into trousers instead of putting the bib on I like the side buttons.
jacqueline hunter thanks Jacqueline 💐 Hmm, not sure about them becoming trousers, I think probably best not as the cut is to hang like dungarees. You could try though 👍🏻
Great vlog!!! With regard to the top stitching,,,, did you wind the bobbin in the same thread because I’m sure I’ve heard that you only use it for the top thread, normal on the bobbin. The bobbin can’t cope with the thicker thread.
You may have done this anyway but was just a thought x
Jackie Blakemore tried both Jackie 😢 I’ll have another try when I have more time. 💐🐝
Looser tension on the bobbin case? If you can lighten the pressure on the presser foot, that might help. Could be a needle problem too. Lots to consider!! : )) Very cute on you : ))
Can you tell me why the denim fabric is so expensive everywhere? It seems silly when you can buy jeans for very few pounds and yet the fabric would make them so expensive.
angela earp I often think the same Angela, it’s a supply/demand issue I think. There’s not a lot of choice at the wholesalers either. 💐
Oh Cheryl, I'm tearing my hair out with the waistbands >.< I've managed to attach the interfaced pieces to the front and back bib and then attach the to the trouser leg parts, it's the non-interfaced inside bits I just don't get! The instructions are so confusing to me and I can't get my head around it, please can someone help?!
You look Super Cute in those dungarees how many times a week do you wear dungarees in general you must like wearing dungarees!
I have a question about your Hong Kong seam finish. I am making a denim shirt dress. It’s a stretch fabric and the raw edges fray with fluffy elastic threads. I’m wondering if I can get away with a lightweight linen on the seams, or if I have to use the silk recommended for a Hong Kong finish. What did you use?
Lisa hi Lisa, I just used my polyester satin binding as I have lots. Anything would work, just try to make sure your stretch fabric doesn’t pull as you feed it through the binder. If you’re sewing it without a binding folder, then use lots of pins and again, make sure it doesn’t stretch 👍🏻💐
Stitchy Bee thanks. I do have a brand new binding foot (still in its packaging), so I might try it. Also, yards and yards of linen blend double fold bias binding tape.
Tell you what annoys me with sewing trouser patterns,,,,,,this stupid below the waist thing that’s been going on now from the year 2000! (Maybe before that)
When I was young and thin, ( a long time ago) trousers were at the waist. They acted, a bit like a corset and really held your stomach in, even if , like me, you were very slim. All the sewing patterns today are mainly ‘below the waist’ by varying degrees. WHY???
I could pick a trouser pattern, make it up and it would fit like a glove but even if I was as slim as I was back then, I think I would struggle with this hipster thing that has gone on now for years. I think it flatters, very few people and really don’t know what people see in it.
Anyway, rant over and your dungarees look fab on you. Your denims are lovey too! Xxx
Jackie Blakemore I totally agree Jackie, it’s worse when tall too, as I need extra rise on high waisters too. 👍🏻😘
Hi I wish I was your size, you look lovely.
Sheila Ayre ahh, thank you Sheila, I guess we’re always wanting different, I prefer to dress for comfort 💖
It does not make ur hips big
