Happy belated birthday. Thanks for sharing your gifts. You were very busy since returning. All your makes are always lovely to see. I also look forward to seeing your pictures at the end of your videos.
Thank you so much for the birthday wishes, I am glad you liked seeing my pressies. I am also glad that you aren't bored of my photos yet, I just love taking them and being able to show a bit of my life and where I live. Have a good week 🧵😊
I love your tops you made. What great presents you received, your husband really put a lot of thought into his, I am so impressed, he seems like a keeper. Happy birthday 🥳.
My hubby really did do well this year and he is so pleased with himself as well! He is definitely a keeper, we have already been married for 36 years so are doing well! Thanks so much for the birthday wishes. Enjoy your weekend and thanks for watching 🧵😊
Happy belated birthday Carole and well done Chris on some clever presents. I especially like the top that you’re wearing in your vlog - very flattering. Looking forward to the ‘Best of the rest patterns’ from you. That’s a great ‘series’. 😀
Thank so much, Chris did really well and he is still beaming from pride!! I have just finished editing the best of the rest video so will probably be out tomorrow. It was fun to film so I am glad you have enjoyed the series. Have a good week 🧵😊
Congrats on growing your wonderful channel! Chris put so much time and effort into choosing your gifts and that made them even more grand. Happy b-day to my fellow Gemini.
Gemini people are the best aren't they!! We never keep still for one minute. Thanks so much for watching and I hope you had or have a great birthday too! 🧵😊
Happy belated birthday, Carole. Congratulations on reaching 5,000 subscribers. Oh, how I love your makes, but the Lutterloh top is absolutely beautiful. Chris, Andra, and Agata know you well and gifted you with some lovely items.
Thanks so much Carol. I was so pleased with the Lutterloh top as it came out so much better than I imagined! I was truly spoilt on my birthday wasn't I. Hope your weekend is going well and thanks for watching as always 🧵😊
Fantastic video. Love your colour block T-shirt, you did a great job! Enjoyed seeing your birthday gifts, lovely friends for a lovely lady. Belated happy birthday!
Aw thank you so much, you really are so sweet. I was a spoilt girl for my birthday wasn't I? I am so pleased the T shirt worked out with the colours. Have a good weekend and thanks again 🧵😊
Love that we can see a look and recreate it ourselves!!! Your “emmie” top is just wonderful. Those colours work so well together! So glad you had a lovely time with your daughter and grandsons and what amazing happy mail… happy birthday again ❤
At last I made an Emmie top that was nearly as good as yours! My Hubby really didn't like the other one. We did have a fabulous time together away and I can't believe the thing I enjoyed most was playing with the boys in the pool!! If you knew me well you would be astounded 😂. They are just so much fun as well you know. Thanks so much for watching xx💗
All your tops are lovely! I like NL 6216 as well! The color blocking came out really pretty! Wonderful birthday gifts! What a thoughtful husband! Happy sewing!🧵
Thanks Nancy, I love those simple NL patterns as you can tweak them all so easily. Chris will be happy with your comment as he does tend to read them, mainly to see what I have been doing all week! Enjoy your weekend 🧵😊
I love all your makes as usual. Your colour block top is fabulous! I look forward to your blog every week. Happy belated birthday 🎂. Have a good week, Pat
Thank you so much Chrissy, I am really happy with that T shirt. Chris certainly did do well with his presents to me this year and he didn't have any help!! Thanks for watching 🧵😊
Thank you Catherine, that is really kind of you. Those boys are so adorable together, I do hope they stay like that as they grow older. Have a great weekend and thanks for watching 🧵😊
Glad you had fun for your Birthday and Holiday.🎂🎉 And I think you did a marvelous job color blocking your T-shirt, the points are very sharp. Love your Lotheral blouse, it looks great on you.😎🌴☀️🏖️
Thanks so much for all your lovely comments on my makes! I was so pleased with the colour blocked top working out this time. Hope you are having a great weekend 🧵😊
Hi Carole, the color blocked t-shirt is so pretty. Happy Belated Birthday. Chris did a great job on the gifts especially the bookends…they are fabulous.
Hapupy belated birthday! Love the top you have on, so cute & the new look top with the pocket is adorable. Thanks for the “fun & interesting” video. Never too long & congrats with over 5k subscribers!
Thank you so much for the birthday wishes. I am wearing the top with the pocket right now and it is just so comfortable yet smart looking. I really appreciate you saying you don't mind the long vlogs, there was just too much to pack in this week! Thanks for watching 🧵😊
Love your makes. The color blocking was good. I like the pink next to the purple, I think it’s a good contrast and it looks good on you. Your daughter looks so good, sophisticated 😊 in the dress. Love the split. Beautiful, fun birthday gifts 🎁. Fun video as usual.
Thanks so much for your kind comments on my makes this week. I am so happy that I got the colour blocking right this time! Katie was really pleased with the dress but it is so funny, when I tried it on me it was so long I was worried about it yet it was perfect on her. Thanks for watching and enjoy your weekend 🧵😊
You have a lovely colour from your holiday 😊 and the photo of the two boys hugging is beautiful. Congratulations on the 5000 subscribers 🎉 lovely gifts you got the book holders are brilliant
Thanks Sandra, I did pick up a little colour, I think it was all the hours in the pool with the boys! Aren't those book holders fabulous, my husband did so well this time. Thanks for watching 🧵😊
@@socarole66 that is cool he actually knows what you need. I bought myself a Babylock Euphoria cover stitch for Mothers Day because mine has no idea of anything in the sewing room lol
Happy belated birthday Carole, such wonderful friends you have and congratulations on 5k. I love that new look pattern 6216 it is my go to for a simple top.
The colour blocked top looks really good. I find your videos very inspirational and the bucket hats I made were a huge hit with my parents (I had enough bits left over to make a matching foldaway shopper) so thank you ❤
Oh Sarah I am so pleased you have had success with the bucket hats! Making a matching bag was a genius idea, well done. I still need to make one for my Mother and I keep forgetting! Thanks for watching and enjoy the rest of the weekend 🧵😊
Congratulations on your 5K subscribers I love your take on the Emmy T what lovely birthday gifts from your husband and sewing friends the book ends are pretty cool xx
Your pictures are always so beautiful! As far as I am concerned you never have to put time stamps I find everything you have to said interesting. Chris did a amazing job with the birthday gifts 🎁
Thank you so much Pamela, that is so sweet of you 🥰. Chris really did do a good job and I don't think anyone helped him either! Thanks for watching and have a great weekend 🧵😊
Hi Carole, belated happy birthday and really enjoyed seeing your lovely gift bounty. I particularly love the top you're wearing - the fabric colouring really suits you. Your 5k subscribers listing is not surprising as you are constantly producing quality vlogs filled with creative ideas, good fun, great chat and pics. Congrats ❤🎉😊
Thank you so much Marian, your comments are really appreciated. I still love making these videos so I am glad people still want to watch them. I am also so glad people still like the photos as that is the only chance I get to show them now. We don't put photos in albums like we used to do we 🤣 Have a great weekend and thanks again🧵😊
I'm so glad to see you wearing that Lutterloh top! I used to stock up on men's white v neck tees when I was younger! Your handmade items are so much nicer. Love your color blocking. It turned out very pretty! Belated birthday wishes, Carole. - Kelly
I was so pleased with the Lutterloh top, it came out so much better than I had hoped for! I know it is bad but those cotton jersey tees are next to nothing to buy and is a great way of grabbing some different colours of jersey. Thanks so much for the birthday wishes. Have a great week ahead and thanks for watching 🧵😊
Thank you so much! I am so excited to reach the 5K mark as you can tell. I was so lucky to receive some wonderful birthday gifts wasn't I! Thanks for watching 🧵😊
Hi Carole, happy belated birthday, I love the book ends! And your other thoughtful gifts, I really like the pink back of your T-shirt, your holiday looks lovely 🥰 Xx
Thanks so much Anita, I was really worried about that pink back but because I was using scraps, I really didn't have a choice without introducing another colour. Thanks also for your birthday wishes and wasn't I a lucky girl! 🧵😊
Oh thank you so much, that is really sweet of you. I love walking and I live in one of the best counties for that! I am glad you still enjoy the photos. Thanks for watching 🧵😊
Hello Carole! I absolutely love the top your wearing. I honestly always love all of your makes. So happy to see your channel is growing. Happy Belated Birthday ❤
Thank you so much for your birthday wishes. I am so pleased that I hit 5k, I know then I am doing something right with my channel! Have a good week ahead 🧵😊
Oh that is wonderful to hear you have had success with the 'magic dress'. Thanks so much for letting me know. Someone I saw recently on instagram made it in a navy white stripe which looked wonderful. I want to copy that now! Thanks so much for being loyal to my channel 🧵😊
Another great video Carole. I love all of your makes and I like the idea of young an oversized tee shirt to use the fabric to make a ladies tee shirt.. ♥
Thanks so much for your comment. What I forgot to say re the T shirt making was I used the original hems to save time. It works a treat! Thanks for watching 🧵😊
Aw thank you so much! I was very lucky for my birthday wasn't I. I will have another series of the fabric wheel coming in 2 weeks. Thanks for watching 🧵😊
Your color block tee is cool. Happy belated birthday and congratulations on 5,000 subscribers. I love the book ends that your hubby bought for your birthday.
Thanks so much Pamela, I made a successful colour blocked top so I am very happy! Didn't my hubby do so well with those book ends. Have a super weekend 🧵😊
Welcome back Carole, 🥰that's a beautiful Lutterloh blouse! Gorgeous fabric choice. Your daughter looks magical in her Magic Dress! I'm making N6217 for the 1st time today. Yours is wonderful with the pocket. I am making bias tape out of my fashion fabric to finish the neckline. I love the purple/pink color blocking shirt. Great use of scraps. Chris, Andra and Agata gave you some wonderful gifts! Very, very thoughtful gifts! Happy Birthday 🎂 and congratulations 🥳🎉 on the 5K subs milestone! You deserve it! So AWESOME!!!! 💖💖
Thanks Grace for all the wonderful comments and good wishes. I certainly was spoilt on my birthday this year and Chris did so well without any help! I reckon you will take one hour to make 6217! It is a great basic pattern though and can be changed up so easily. It won't be long before you get to 5k I know, you still have a great inspirational channel and I still can't get over those closures on your Rust top!! Hope your weekend is going well xx💗💗
Oh thank you so much for the birthday wishes. That top I am wearing turned out so much better than I thought it would! Hope your weekend is going well with lots of sewing! 🧵😊
Thanks for your comment, that T shirt really isn't subtle is it 🤣. My Hubby has always just loved Tigger! Thanks so much for watching and enjoy your weekend 🧵😊
Congratulations on reaching 5000. I love all your makes, they are very much my style of clothing. Lovely birthday gifts, your husband was so very thoughtful ❤
Thank you so much! My husband definitely won some bonus points with me this time round, I can't believe it. I am glad my style is yours and you enjoy what I make. Have a good weekend 🧵😊
Happy belated birthday Carole! You are a May baby like me 😁! I enjoyed your content tremendously today and I must say that I was thoroughly impressed with the colour blocked tee! It is so neatly made!!! Also, I think I already commented on your lutterloh top, but Carole, I absolutely love it - fabric, colours, style and the make itself. A white tee is just a must in a wardrobe isn't it? The touches you added to the New Look 6217 top, make it look so neat and professional. Such lovely and thoughtful birthdat gifts - enjoy them Carole. Beautiful pics!!!!! I just melt when I see a palm tree 🌴. Enjoy your week Carole!!
All the best people are born in May!! That Lutterloh top keeps growing and growing on me and I think it has to be the most favourite thing I have made for a while, I should definitely make another. My oldest Grandson so wanted to see a palm tree from our hotel room and he was so pleased when we had a whole array of them! I always think of a very old film when I see them. Not sure if you would know what I mean but it is 'Some Like it Hot'!! ( One of the best films ever) Thanks so much for your kind words and enjoy your weekend too 🧵😊
Thanks Theresa! I really didn't think that Lutterloh top would work out or the fabric would suit me and it DID. Thanks for the belated birthday wishes. Happy Sewing 🧵😊
Carole, congratulations on reaching 5K!! Love watching your videos and getting inspiration from your makes. The New Look 6217 Is absolutely beautiful. I have that pattern sitting on my Amazon wishlist. Take care!!
Thank you so much Brenda. That is really kind of you, I am so glad you enjoy my videos. The New Look 6217 pattern is a gem to have, snatch it up while you can! Have a good week 🧵😊
I'm kinda jealous here (in a good way). I love your bookends. It's very generous of you to do a draw. I feel we are being given a gift every time you video. Happy Belated 29th! 😊
Hi Carole, what a thoughtful husband you have, his sewing gifts to you are wonderful (you’ve trained him well) 🤪 I think your yellow flower might be a marigold or calendula, could be wrong of course. Have a great week sewing 🧵🪡🇦🇺
Thanks so much, Chris is going to love reading your comment! I don't think he had help either. That could well be a marigold actually as my Grandson planted some a couple of years ago in that pot and they keep popping up! I had forgotten, thank you. Enjoy your weekend 🧵😊
Hi Carole! Your color-blocked "Emmie" tee is beautiful!!! Well done! Love the fabric color combo. You have another color-blocked tee in blue and a blue/coral/white floral which is one of my favorite of your tee makes. Please don't stop playing with color-blocking! LOVE the bookends that Chris bought for you. What a very thoughtful gift-giver he is! 🙂 I had noticed at the beginning of your video that you needed some bookends for your pattern binders. Glad that you now have some that are sew (pun intended) perfect for your sewing room. Glad you had a wonderful birthday and that your 5K subscriber mark was a part of that! xx🥰 Dori
Hi Dori, you are right about another colour blocked tee, I had forgotten about that one as I did it differently. Chris isn't a fan of colour blocking for some reason but he did like the pink one luckily. Oh dear, I can't believe someone noticed all my books and files on a slant in my room 😱, there are no secrets with a RU-vid channel!! Hope all is well with you and thanks again for sending on the Lutterloh video. Have a good Sunday 🧵😊xxx
@@socarole66 Hi Carole, you'll just have to put those very cool book ends bought for your birthday into use immediately. All the presents Chris bought you were well thought out. His a very good present buyer and obviously loves you very much. You're a lucky woman! Maybe he needs another button-down shirt (like his AC/DC one made with the NL pattern). He can pick out the fabric! Does the UK do Father's Day? So very happy you had such a wonderful birthday! You so deserve it!!!! 🎉🥳🎂🎁🎈 xx Dori
Glad you had a lovely with the grandkids…love the top you are wearing enjoyed the vlog on how you did it…another great vlog and great gift hubby got of the singer sewing machine book ends….i will have to find them…thanks carol ❤😊
Oh I really did have the most fun time with those boys and my daughter, real quality time. My Hubby definitely did so well with his presents to me, he is secretly very pleased with himself 🤣. Thanks so much for watching 🧵😊
Carole - love your makes! How sweet to receive such thoughtful gifts. Congratulations on your milestone!! Your lutterloh top really turned out so cute.
Thank you so much for your lovely sweet comments! I love that Lutterloh top so much more than I thought I would, I need to make another now, if I ever get time! Thanks for watching 🧵😊
@@socarole66 I made the Donny top from Friday Pattern Co recently and was so happy with it. Planning to make another real soon. I sew from both - indie and big 4. Enjoy your weekend 😌
@@kathleencrumbaugh8050 oh that looks a good pattern! I hadn't really looked at that before, I like the neck front placket. Maybe I should have a go too!
@@socarole66 there’s a great tutorial as well on their site. Give it a try - I think you would like it. I slip-stitched the V closed a bit because I don’t like them too much V 🥴.
Great stuff this week! I really love the colorblock one!! I bet Chris is glad to have you back home. Thats a cute little tassled bookmark too. Cant ever have too many of those can we? Also CONGRATULATIONS on hitting 5k subs! Thats amazing! You are leaving me in your dust!! Love you!❤
Yay, I made a colour blocked top that works for once!! I am so dreadful at it. I am glad my channel is still growing that's for sure, it means I can still rabbit onto people about sewing as my family are bored to tears with it 🤣. That is of course, until they want something! Great to chat and see you the other day, we should do more of that 💗💗Miss you my dear friend xxx
Aw thank you so much for the birthday wishes. It does make me happy that you think I am talented, even if I really don't myself!! Have a good weekend 🧵😊
Hi Carol thank you for spending time making interesting and inspiring videos. A belated birthday wish. I live in Dorset and enjoy seeing your walks around my lovely county xxx
Hi Jane! A fellow Dorset lady, whereabouts are you? Don't we live in the best County. Thanks so much for watching my videos, if it wasn't for my viewers I would still be chatting to myself! Have a great weekend 🧵😊
Happy belated birthday! Love the fabrics in the colour blocked T-shirt. We are hoping to do some colour blocking soon. But as usual, our sewing list is ever growing! Xx
Oh thanks so much. Colour blocking is something I really wish I was better at but like you say, there never seems to be much time and the 'to do' list keeps growing and growing!! Thanks for watching 🧵😊
Hi Carole. I LOVE the colour block t-shirt, the colours are fabulous together. Hope you had a good birthday and holiday. I’m back in the UK now and my Lutterloh is on its way 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻. Fingers crossed it doesn’t get damaged in the post. 😃
Ok Ann, I have a good feeling about the Lutterloh system this time and keeping all my fingers and toes crossed for you! It couldn't get damaged a second time surely 😂. Hope you had a good trip away and are ready to sew up a storm now you are home! Thanks for watching 🧵😊
Thank you so much Anne for the birthday wishes. I am thrilled you had a go at the Magic dress and it was successful! That is really good news. Hope you are having a good weekend 🧵😊
Lovely video, Carole. I am so happy the parcel arrived so quickly. Enjoy sweets. You are right. I am Polish. I tried to include traditional Polish and Irish sweets :) Love your colour-blocked top. Especially the contrast between dark plum and pink :)
Thanks again Agata for the wonderful pressies. I am enjoying tucking into those goodies but not all in one go! I am so pleased you approved of the colour blocking, for some reason I get so nervous putting fabrics together. Hope your weekend is going well🧵😊
Thank you so much for such a sweet comment! I was on a mission to sew this week after a week away from my crafts. I have slowed down now! Have a good weekend 🧵😊
Carole, congratulations on 5k subscribers I really enjoy your videos. Also, I really like the colors you used on the color blocked tee shirt, I think the purple and pink next to each other look great!
Hah! I have done the exact same thing ... I had bought a package of men's white Tee shirts, and I laid out a self drafted pattern similar to your New Look 6217 and literally cut it out of the Tee, shoulder seems included. It seems to be the kind of thing you really need but who would plan to shop for material and plan a basic white Tee! I also have a self drafted version of the same top for woven fabric, and they are my 2 most used patterns. Summer, fall, winter- add a sleeve. It never looks the same. I like your pocket with the button, I think I will try that. For plain tees, I like to seam it up the middle and top stitch on each side. Your husband's tote gift is so creative! Lovely :)
Thank you so much for your comment Nancy. I love that you do the same thing as me with the Men's Tees. What I forgot to say was I use the existing hems as well to save time! Interesting to hear that you topstitch the seams on plain tees, I may try that as it will make them look more finished. Thanks again and have a good weekend 🧵😊
Congratulations on 5000, Carole! It is well deserved. I just love those tops, especially the color blocked one. You hit it out of the park this time! I don’t remember you mentioning your birthday in the previous videos, but it’s probably just my poor memory. Anyway, Happy belated birthday! I know you had a wonderful time with your daughter and those sweet little boys, they are growing like weeds. Lovely pictures at the end, as always. Have a great weekend.
Thanks so much Sue, I don't think I really mentioned my birthday much to be honest, I may have done a few weeks ago, I am not one to advertise it!! We did have a super time away you are right, I have missed their little faces this week. Hope you are having a good weekend and thanks for always popping up in the comments! xx
Another great video. Please don't stop 'rambling' about all sorts of things. It's very enjoyable. Congrats on the 2k milestone. Maree, Sydney. PS. Love the colour bkocked tee
Ok!! I will continue to ramble on about things 🤣. Thanks so much for your kind and sweet comments and I think you are my first viewer from Sydney! Have a great week and thanks so much for watching 🧵😊
Aww thank you so much, glad you enjoyed this weeks Friday Sews. That calendula is stunning this year isn't it and it isn't as if we have had Summer yet! Thanks for watching 🧵😊
