I am so glad you are listening to what you are able to do. That is very healthy! I loved everything you made this week, especially the boys' jumpers! Have a lovely week.
Carol it’s always lovely to see you first thing Friday morning, but since today is still a holiday, it’s a leisurely pleasure. Oh my, the advent caps are ADORABLE! I think you’ll, eventually, need to make another so each boy will have one. What a great collaboration with your mom to create this family heirloom. You’ve been busy and finished a lot of beautiful makes. Good luck on the sewing machine! 😊-Deborah
I love all your makes. The print on the jumper you are wearing is lovely. Our son is here visiting from out of dtate so no sewing gor me until he goes home.
Hi, Carole, I love that top, so colorful! That oversized hoodie looks so warm and comfy. You have been busy, what a time for your machine to be down. It looks like my holiday sewing will be put on hold indefinitely as I am still dealing with Covid symptoms. I’m in the middle of an asthma attack from Covid, just what I need, it will take months for me to recover my strength. Oh well, I’ll have time to watch Vlogmas this year😂. I love the photos of your sweet little grandsons. Take care😊
Hi Carole! I SEW Iove all of your makes! The little Advent hats are so cute! What a great collaborative project to forever remember Grandma and Great Grandma. I have some Christmas tree ornaments that were lovingly created by family members that have been gone for many years, now. It is so special to put them on the tree each year. I think I will have to make an inventory of who made what, so my adult children remember where they came from. I digress. When making pants, I have been known to sew in my underwear. I usually wear my dressing gown, but often I get fed up with putting it on and off. It's such fun seeing the children enjoying the snow! 🎄 Bernadette
Hi, Carole! I’ve been sewing for grandchildren too. Your tees for yours are cute! I just took an embroidery class, which was a fun day. That pocket🤣 I think a few times while trying on something, I’ve not redressed, but fixed my garment and tried on again😊
I love that oversized hooded sweatshirt. My machine really struggles with fabric like that too. I always have to cut down the hood because of the amount of fabric it takes and I have a small head.
The jumpers you made for your grandchildren and beautiful. If you don’t mention the pocket on your daughters top she might not notice the difference in the pile. Yes that guys shirt pocket was driving me mad just to look at it. Him being on TV it was probably expensive too. 😮 Happy sewing 🧵🪡🇦🇺
You’ve been busy this week! I absolutely love the pink sweatshirt with the embroidery - how cute! Also really like the Christmas sweaters for the boys and the hoodie for Katie. The oops on the pocket made me laugh because I’ve done that too many times to count. So annoying! When I’m sewing in the evening, I usually wear my bathrobe over underwear if I know I’ll be trying stuff on. I can’t really sew in my underwear because I do have a 20 year-old at the house and his bedroom is right next to my sewing room. 😂 I really hope Franklin’s get your machine sorted soon. 😢 Have fun this weekend! Xx 💞
A suggestion, Tiana's Closet website has 2 free PDF pinafore dresses patterns, The Violet and Vera pinafore. I am planning to make one of those two soon with most likely a corduroy fabric. Greetings!
Black Friday!!!! SALE!!!! 😅😅😅 Lol. I think your cozy top looks nice. The kid's sweatshirts look so cute. I do the neck band on my shirts now also following what Rachel did from the French Seams. I'm so sorry about your Juki. You will get it back soon. When I have to sew on my Brother sewing machine, It is okay but it does not have a thread cutter and I'm spoiled with my baby lock! I think the hoodie looks good on you. I don't see the nap!😅😅😅 Have a great day.
Live all your makes the boys top are great and the little hats are going to be such wonderful memories you have been busy hope your juki comes soon great video 😊😊😊
I did laugh at the idea of you sitting in your underwear sewing.😄. I really love the fabric in the top you're wearing. I hope you get your machine back soon. Maybe call them - a lot - squeaky wheel and all that. Maree, Sydney.
Great vlog. Love what you are wearing. I agree with the shirt pattern on Ant, would drive me mad. We had a few flakes of snow here in Jersey. Enjoy your week.
I feel for you regarding your machine. I have long held the belief (wish) that shops should offer a hire sewing machine to use while our beloved lifelines are in hospital lol. I bought an expensive lemon of a machine that was constantly in for repair of the same problem. While under guarantee, like I imagine yours is, I might add. Why won't they just replace the sub par item? I did get to know the service people quite well and found a bribe of chocolate worked nicely in getting my machine back before I went nuts. Try that lol. On another note, well done with your backup machine. Beautifully made garments
Too funny picturing you sewing in your underwear. And, yes, I have also especially when sewing pants. It’s not the norm for me though since my sewing room is in a shed with little heat and I live on family property with my daughters and their husbands and somebody is always stopping by to see what I’m doing. I don’t mind if my daughters stop by and I’m half clothed but I certainly do not want to scare my son-in-laws. 😂 I was reading a Palmer & Pletsh book about fitting pants and they actually do recommend sewing in your underwear due to the amount of try-ons needed.
I really like the jumper you’re wearing, and the soft blue fabric looks great too. Perhaps for the pinafore you could just add a placket and couple of buttons at the front. Thanks for not doing Vlogmas. I find it a bit too much. And then feel a bit satiated with all the extra watching. Re your daughter’s top, I bet she won’t mind and even not notice unless you mention it.
LOL, I can honestly say I have never sewn in my underwear! That is an image I don't want to give anyone. I know what you mean about trying on and having to get undressed in this weather. I actually left my latest jumper until I got ready for bed later in the evening, having finished it just after lunch. I don't know how you vloggers actually film at all, let alone Vlogmas. It's not something I would relish having to do on a regular basis.
The pocket is definitely weird. Who makes a shirt like that and why did he decide to wear it. I don’t sew in my underwear, I put on easy elasticated pants.
I am so glad you are listening to what you are able to do. That is very healthy! I loved everything you made this week, especially the boys' jumpers! Have a lovely week.
Oh wat a lovely episode!! The advent calendar is so cute! I do love what you are wearing!

Your not alone! I also sew in my underwear quite often 😂
Carole, thank you for not doing Vlogmas! I detest sifting through all the vlogmas videos to find the good stuff! Love your videos!
Yes, when I alter pants/ jeans I end up in just panties, but my room is upstairs and it's just myself and my husband. Thanks for sharing..
Hi, Carole! I’ve been sewing for grandchildren too. Your tees for yours are cute! I just took an embroidery class, which was a fun day.

Love Notions just came out with a pinafore. I think it's called the Pianoforte. I know it's PDF but it's pretty cool when they have sew alongs for

Thank you Carol. Could you add two or three buttons to the front of the pinafore, just decorative like a fake placket.
I agree, that pocket would drive me crazy.🫨 Yes I have done the underwear thing as well😅

Ha ha, I also sew half dressed because I'm doing a lot of fitting! It speeds up the process.
