Styling your Ogden Cami for winter is a great idea. Sally of Secret Life of a Seamstress uses hers like that all the time. So you can see quite a few examples of how she styles it if you check out her videos. But otherwise, just overdye it with a colour you like better.
Such a pleasure to watch your video with a coffee in bed. Having a lazy lie in on a cold Grey Saturday. You are featuring 2 🇨🇦 Canadian companies today 😃. This is the first Bestie Bag I've seen with the foam interfacing used to show off the banana shape and I really like how it showcases the simple, functional design. It turned out fantastic. I haven't made the Jalie Eleanore pants but I have made their jeans and while the directions appear mixed in with pattern pieces to save paper, they are not difficult to follow. If you trace the pattern, you'll get great value making pants for your daughter as she grows and yourself. The pocket hack for your hubby's sleep shorts looks excellent. I must remember that for the next ones I make for my adult crew. I make Christmas pj's about every third year. Glad you decided to try a refashion of the blouse. You love the fabric so much, it will be worth the effort. You can try wearing the camp over a close fitting Tee or under a pretty cardigan where it peeks out at the front would be lovely too. I am headed to my local fabric shop this morning to pick up some fleece on sale. My daughter is keen for me to copy an RTW pair of dungarees made in slightly stretchy polar fleece. She thinks she'll live in them in the deep dark winter. Happy sewing!
Thank you, I’m really happy with how the Bestie bag turned out and I’ve used it lots already, I love it. That’s good to know that Jalie instructions are clear to follow thank you! Thank you for the styling ideas for my Ogden cami, they sound fab, I need to have a trying on session with different things from my wardrobe 😊 Hope you were able to find some nice fleece for your daughter’s dungarees, they sound so lovely and cosy for winter!
Hi Cath, I’ve made quite a few Bakerloo blouses….but I’ve always made the collar much smaller and no issues with it being flappy 😂, I love how we can adapt patterns to suit our own style.
Hi Cath. Another lovely vlog. I’m very excited to see how you get on with your Jali Eleonore trousers. I bought the kit from G & G way back, but I still haven’t attempted to make it! I will watch your progress with interest and will be looking out for additional advice & tips. Good luck!
Your Bestie bag looks very nice! Thinking about making a new bag and that pattern seems like a winner. I have make the Jalie jeans a couple times. they are very simple and quick to make. They are low waisted so if you prefer a higher waist you can adjust.
Thank you very much, I’m really happy with how my Bestie bag turned out 😊 it is a really fun pattern to sew, I hope you enjoy it if you try it. Thanks that’s really good to know about the Jalie Eleonore 👍👌
Love your Bestie bag. I have a pair of Jalie Eleonore trousers cut out. I haven't started sewing them up yet and didn't know about Lauren's hints and tips video, so I will purchase that, thanks for the tip
Hi Cath, another great video! Maybe the pink cami under something (a cardigan?) vs over something? That way, it's really an accent color that's not the star of the show (if it makes you feel washed out colorwise). It's very pretty.
Hi Cath. Enjoyed hearing what you've been up to. That fabric for your hubby really caught my eye! Love big, funtional pockets too 😁 For your pink cami, it immediately made me think of a nightie I used to have. Would the Ogden work as sleepwear in summer? If not, I think salvaging the precious fabric would be lovely (even for something like an eyemask or jewellery pouch). Good luck making a decision on it!
Thank you very much! Yes I like the PJs fabric too! A bit different to a classic check! I haven’t considered the Ogden as sleepwear, thanks for the idea! You’re right, it would be lovely to salvage the fabric, it’s so pretty. Thank you!
Hi Cath .. I’d take a photo (on your phone) of the pattern instructions in order, then you’ll have access to the instructions,without having the large pattern out 👍🏻
Great vlog again cath……I love making trousers..once you get the right fit with the right pattern you’ll be on a winner….have just started making trousers for the hubby..don’t stress and enjoy ❤😊
I love the needle cord. Great colour. I would like to make a skirt or pinafore using that fabric so look forward to hearing what you think of it. Super video as always
Hi Cath, I’ve just bought the Kira Knit Top by Stylearc and plan to make it in a stretch velvet and wear it over a cami top. Maybe pick a colour in your cami that you like and make something similar in that colour. Good luck!
I just looked up the Kira knit top as I wasn’t familiar with it. Great idea for something to wear over my cami. I hope you enjoy sewing yours - it will look so lovely in a stretch velvet!
I've just bought some Cosy Colours but wasn't sure what to make with it. I am thinking a cardigan as I didn't think it had enough stretch widthways for a Southbank. I made a different sweater a while ago with some fleecy fabric with very little stretch and I can hardly get it over my head!
I find the neckline of the Southbank is fairly wide so I don’t need too much stretch to get it on and off, so the cosy colours has worked fine for my sweaters. It would be lovely fabric for a cosy cardigan too!
@@madebycathcraft Yes, it's certainly got a bit more stretch than the fleece-backed sweatshirt fabric I used before - it hurts my ears pulling it on! I may make the Southbank with the cosy colours, and do the cardigan in something else.
With your pink camio,why not try it as you suggest first.Then if you don't like it or it wears use the beautiful fabric to make something for your daughter. With your navy check before you donate it why not take out the sleeves to give more freedom.You could even lengthen the armhole for more room.If that doesn't suit because of the waistline why not unpick the waist.Then either make an elasticated waist or if you need more length buy some fab glitter elastic to use as a waist band.Hem the top and you have a two piece to wear.
I hadn’t considered taking the sleeves off the check dress and making the waist elasticated. Thanks so much for the ideas! Thanks yes I’d love to still be able to enjoy the pink cami fabric! 😊

I hadn’t even thought about dyeing it! Thank you 😊
Enjoying your video whilst making pies for our church Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow. Always enjoy your videos
Thank you very much! I hope your Thanksgiving dinner goes well 😊
I was thinking , that blouse with the big collar, you could crochet or knit a smaller collar for it.
That’s a lovely idea thank you!

Thank you for another interesting video Cath. I really enjoy your channel
Thanks so much Carol, I’m so glad you enjoy it! 😊
Hi Cath, I enjoyed your video. I really like the pink lining of your bag. It's lovely, very practical. Hope you have a great weekend/week 🥰
Hi Nicky, thank you, I really like the pink lining too, I’m glad I went with that!
Thanks hope you have a lovely weekend and week too! ❤️
Love the bestie bag, it looks beautiful ❣
Thank you so much, I’ve used it so much! ❤️
Another Canadian in bed with hot coffee. Your video was the perfect start to my Saturday. Glad you're refashioning your lovely blouse.😊
@@karenlowes7802 so glad to have company in my guilty pleasure
I’m so glad 😊 thank you yes I’m looking forward to altering the blouse!

Thank you very much. I hope you enjoy sewing your Eleonore trousers. I’ve started mine and I am finding Lauren’s video really helpful!
Another enjoyable video, thanks Cath!
My pleasure! So glad you enjoyed it 😊
I have used Jalie patterns and at least the ones I have I was able to get the instructions from the website to download separately, much easier!
Oh brilliant thank you, that’s really good to know! That sounds very helpful!

Thank you very much. The needlecord is lovely quality, has such a nice velvety feel to it and a lovely stretch. I’ll report back on how it sews up 😊
I did that same thing with my Ogden, and it works perfect to brighten up a winters day
Fab that’s really good to know thank you! 😊
Hi Cath, I have made these trousers twice, the fit is great.
Brilliant that’s really good to know thanks!
You became a great seamstress. ❤ from Antwerp.
Thank you so much ❤️

Could you cut the top off the check dress to make a skirt?
Ooh that’s a good idea! Thanks I’ll have a think on that!

Thanks yes I’d love to still be able to enjoy the pink cami fabric! 😊
Could you cut your pink Ogden cami down for your daughter?
