Fabric and Pattern -STASH BUSTING with the help of a Wheel! First Spin and Choices. 

When I read your comment yesterday I couldn't stop laughing! Just brilliant and now I am feeling sorry for the fabrics 🤣. Do they deserve a more stable certain future I ask myself?! 🧵😊

Love the wheel! You are very brave

Thank you so much Sandy 🧵😊

Thanks Izzy, I may be setting myself up for some odd garments but we shall see 🤣. It isn't as if I go anywhere other than the supermarket anyway! xx💗

Hi Deborah, there is just something about blue and white together isn't there. It's so clean and always looks fresh. I do hope that pattern does it justice! Thanks so much for watching the series again, it's a tough one this time 😆. Happy Sewing 🧵😊

Ha ha thank you! The wheel certainly has had an upgrade. Wish me luck. 🧵😊

Isn't that fabric just so pretty? I have remembered I bought it on holiday a year ago in Mallorca so about time it was sewn up! Thanks for watching 🧵😊

Thank you so much, it wasn't quite the spin result I wanted but let's see!! 🧵😊

Ha ha a few years ago my Dad could have done just that I am sure! He did a great job with the wheel and it has had many uses over the years. That is great you have the same pattern, it is one I have just kept meaning to get around to sewing up, I hope I do a good job and you like it! Mind you, the fabric is so pretty hopefully it will look great whatever happens. Thanks so much for stopping by 💗🍓💗

Thanks Sue, I am pleased you think the fabric will work. This series is going to be a fun one as you say! 🧵😊

Thank you very much, I do like to make this a challenge! 🧵😊

Thank you so much, I am so glad you enjoy this series. Happy Sewing 🧵😊

Hi Dori, could you tell in my voice I didn't think the first combo would work?! We are still away so I haven't been able to start on it yet but lots of people seem positive. We have SUN and WARMTH!! Thank you so much for sending that. In fact yesterday I even had a quick dip in the sea, mind you it was still only 57f 🥶. I have done a lot less sewing this week and lots of reading which is good in a way, after all it is a holiday! Hope you are well and did manage a bit of sewing at the weekend xx❤️

@@socarole66 Hi Carole: Yes! I could hear the emotion (I thought it was surprise) in your voice. It was very spontaneous and honest emotion 😲, which was fun to see. I didn't expect that you'd be working on your WOF garment while you and Chris are at the holiday house. Glad you got some sun and warmer weather. How warm does the water get during the summer? 57 degrees is crazy-cold! BRRR! The coldest water temp I spent any time in was 64 degrees. Was just learning to surf and my muscles started to cramp up. Here in San Diego, the water can get up to 82 degrees (about 27 C) toward the end of August. It's been a very long time since I've been to the beach. As you get older, it's just not as fun as it used to be when you were younger. As a high school teen, my friends and I just about lived at the beach during the summer. Used to tell people I was a Melanoma Test Patient. LOL!!! 🤣 I will be working on some English paper piecing, which will be a nice project that doesn't involve a lot of fabric. I can take it with me anywhere, which is nice. I'm one of those odd ducks that enjoys hand sewing. Cross stitch is another thing I like to do from time to time. House update: I accepted an offer recently, not nearly as much as I had hoped to get. I've got people coming Thurs. to do inspections, including the couple buying my house. I have the option of being here, but I don't think I will. My realtor will be here instead. Fingers crossed that the sale goes through this time. Enjoy your week! xx❤ Dori

Gosh I hope you are right about the double trouble wheel this time! We are all going to find out together if this works 🤣. Thanks so much for watching and fingers crossed the pattern is a good one. 🧵😊

Thanks so much for watching! 🧵😊

Thanks Kelly, I have no idea what these garments will end up looking like 🤣. I am sure I will learn something from it though! Thanks so much for watching 🧵😊

@@socarole66 it's so exciting 🤩

Do it...do it!!! Thanks so much for watching and let me know if you have a go. 🧵😊

Thank you so much for watching and how awesome you have the pattern too! We can compare results when we have made them up. Someone has warned me about the underarm seam which seems odd? We shall see! 🧵😊

Thanks so much for watching. As you say, with the wheel we could see some winning combos I had never considered.... or it could fail!! Glad you enjoy the series 🧵😊

Thanks so much, I hope those patterns do the beautiful fabric justice! Have a great week 🧵😊

Thank you Kathy, I am sure I am going to get very surprising results this time round using patterns as well! 🧵😊

Thank you Rachael! I really am worried about that pairing but not sure why. Having said that with only buying one metre of fabric, not sure what else I could make with it. Thanks for having faith! 🥰

Eeek I have to say I am nervous about this series. I could end up with some 'corkers' 🤣. Thanks so much for your faith in me xx💗🧵

Thank you so much! The wheel has always been kind to me in other series, I hope it will this time! Have a good week 🧵😊

Thank you Karen! 🧵😊

Thank you so much. I will have a look at the pattern properly as I do like a flutter sleeve as well. The trouble is they take a lot of fabric so we shall see! Thanks for watching 🧵😊

Thank you so much Jeanette 🧵😊

Thank you very much for your comment, I hope you are right! 🧵😊

Hi Deb! I could be setting myself up for some trouble with this one but we shall see. I just had to make the wheel more challenging this time round didn't I?! Happy Sewing to you too xx💗

Thanks Lori, I really can't imagine what this will look like....we shall see! Thanks for watching 🧵😊

Thanks Zelda!! 💗

Thank you very much! Let's hope the wheel works out well for me again this time. 🧵😊

Thank you so much! It is so much easier having something to decide your sewing for you, go on give it a try with some dice! Thanks for watching 🧵😊

Thank you very much! I am excited to see how it works out. 🧵😊

The good old wheel comes out when I just can't decide what to sew 🤣. Lots of people say they have that Simplicity pattern but not many have sewn it, I'm very nervous 😱😆. Thanks for watching my lovely friend and I hope your trip went well 👏🏼❤️. Missing you very much xxx

Thank you very much, I do love making things a fun challenge. Let's hope I get some great results! Happy Sewing 🧵😊

Thanks Carol, I just fell in love with that fabric when I saw it and now have remembered I bought it on holiday last year! 🧵😊

Thank you so much, oh I do hope the combo works! I am away at the moment but can't wait to sew it up when I get home. Have a good week 🧵😊

Oh thank you so much, isn't the blue and white so pretty! Just hope it works with the Simplicity pattern. Thanks for watching 🧵😊

Thank you so much for that Lori! Being a bit full is exactly why I hadn't made it up so I will measure it all up before I cut it. If not it will be my go-to solution of ties on the side!! I really appreciate your comment thank you 🧵😊

Good that you noted the fullness, Lori, as I had the same issue. I thought I had made a mistake somewhere. Can’t wait to see yours Carole!

Thank you Stephanie. It does indeed step me out of my comfort zone, I would never have put those two together! Keep your fingers crossed! 🧵😊

Let's hope you are right and the wheel did choose well! Thanks for watching 🧵😊

Thanks for watching! 🧵😊

So glad you are enjoying my self challenge! Thanks for watching 😊🧵

Thanks Nancy, it is going to be fun that is for sure! 🧵😊

Thanks Kathleen, a lot of people have said that the fabric and pattern will work together so I'm taking their word for it! I do waste so much time like you do by the sounds of it so at least for the next 6 projects, it is all decided for me! Thanks for watching and wish me luck. 🧵😊

Yay!! Thank you so much 🧵😊

I remembered where I bought the Paisley from! It was on holiday in Majorca last year. It is so pretty hence why I was scared to use it. Thanks for your comment 🧵😊

Thank you so much Debbie, wish me luck! 🧵😊

@@socarole66 Good luck! Though I’m sure you’ll do a great job. 😊💖

Thank you so much for the warning on that pattern. So far people have said they have bought it but not sewn it. I am glad you say it would work well in a challis though. Keep your fingers crossed for me! 🧵😊

I know?! Why do I make things hard for myself! Fingers crossed I will get some results that really worked well. Thanks for watching 🧵😊

Thank you Melissa. I am glad to get the wheel back out as I love a challenge! The first fabric is stunning isn't it. 🧵😊

Thanks Angela. I am exactly the same, I spend wasted hours deciding on combinations! Let's hope I get some great results. Thanks for watching 🧵😊

Blue and white... your favourite combo! I have remembered now, I bought it in Mallorca last year so about time I used it! Thanks for stopping by xxx💗xxx

You are right Nancy, it could indeed be a border print. Sadly I am away at the moment and now I am desperate to unfold it completely and have a look! It could make it even better 👏🏼. Thanks for your eagle eyed spotting! 🧵😊

Thank you Tina. I just hope that it all works out 🤣. Time will tell of course and I will hide nothing from you! 🧵😊

Thank you so much Katrina, a lot of people agree with you so am sure you are right. Thanks for watching 🧵😊

Thanks Andra, I love a challenge!! 💗😘

Hi Ann. Well the wheel has had a couple of jobs in the past. First it was a 'chore' decider for my kids after dinner. You know, clear the table, wash up, fill the dishwasher etc and there was an empty space for free time which I used to dread it landing on 🤣. Then I used it to play number games with my grandson to help him learn whilst having fun. Last year I put different toy activities on it to help decide what the grandkids would do next when I had them in the Summer holidays, paint, Lego etc. Such a useful thing to have in our lives to save arguments 🤣 Thanks for the hint on Butterick and if it's a left/ right issue without a doubt mine will be on the wrong side too. Thanks for watching 🧵😊
