The skirt looks perfect. Love the pockets and I don’t think it needs anymore fullness.

Thanks! I think it's just adjusting to it being different to expectations, but I think it's nice and wearable actually ☺️

another lovely podcast, Lorna! I love the skirt, can't wait to see it finished with the buttons :) the M&M trousers fit you so well! I feel like I learned a couple of tricks from your review (like stitch length, taking in at the back and to be mindful about the waist band) so thank you ❤ Also had a little surprise at the end with the mention awww, I am actually knitting on my Rota whilst watching you hahaha I love that

Hello. I have just found your podcast and am really enjoying watching it. I feel we have really similar interests ( I knit, sew and naturally dye) but you seem much more advanced than me which I am taking as inspiration to keep practicing. I also made bloomers as you did in a previous episode. I made mine out of an old lace edged sheet, using the lace on the leg bottoms, so I could keep my legs warm under my nighties in the winter . They work a treat. Very pleased to have found your channel and am set to enjoy your past episodes over the coming weeks. Best wishes, Laura.

Hey Laura ☺️ I'm so pleased you're enjoying the podcast! Your bloomers sound lovely! I really like the idea of using the lace edging as a design feature. I love meeting people with similar interests on here 🥰

Your Pegs Trousers came out great! I love pleated trousers but so far I made only one with elasticated waist band (Bisque Trousers by Vivain Shao Chen). I need to finally face the fly😁
@threadandyarn
@threadandyarn 3 месяца назад
Thank you! I do love an elasticated waistband. I've made the Bisques which are lovely, but I think the Pomona Pants are my ultimate favourite! 😊

Thank you so much for reviewing the Peg Trousers, your's are lovely! I have the pattern and am planning my own pair. I understand how you feel torn between making and gardening this time of year- they are both such creative outlets though. My own making has been sidelined by designing raised beds for our garden this year. I thought I'd share with you something I've enjoyed doing in the way of organizing my making ideas and fabric. Several years ago I started using the Trello app to make boards with cards that I can copy or move around. I have separate boards for fabric, patterns and project plans. Within the boards, they are further organized into Skirts, Dresses, Pants, etc. or for example, Wool, Cottons, Linens for the fabric board. I can then make a new project "Pegs trousers" for instance and copy the pattern's card from the Patterns board and the fabric's card from the Fabric board. Having the yardage amount and any other information I need, it's fun and easy to move the cards around and plan projects! I always know what I have, and sometimes figure out new ways to use something. Anyway, thank you for the lovely review and happy making (and gardening!)

Thank you for the lovely video ❤ I practically live in gathered skirts and I use a lot of width for it to be as full as I envision - often I just use the width of a tablecloth (150cm) and make each piece that width (so almost 3 meters in total), which I guess amounts to quadruple my waist? I found no issues with it to be honest and it’s not too bulky either! Gathers come out lovely and dense and makes for such a romantic skirt!
@threadandyarn

I’m just the same now when the warm weather and sunny days has arrived, the garden and outdoor living takes nearly all my time and I love it! I have done a little bit of sewing in the evening though, a sleeveless summer top in a lovely woven cotton, felt I lacked that. Some loose fitting shorts with an elasticated waist is on the cutting board as well. I was thinking about the lovely skirt you made, I think you should make the next one more A-lined, i e increase the width at the hem. That would make it much more full an swishy without adding more gathers. If your fabric is without a oneway pattern you can place the pattern pieces quite ”economical” anyway. Maybe you have to have a seam at the back as well. Good luck on the wool festival! And have a nice start of the summer!

Hello Eva, sorry I missed this! Your summer top sounds lovely. That's an interesting idea about making the skirt A line, thank you for that 😊 I hope your summer is going well!

10:15 love the skirt on you! If you want more gathers but don't feel like redoing the waistband or the pockets, you could add a second (and third) layer of skirts to make a tiered gathered skirt. Otherwise you might get away with a rectangular panel in the middle. I think the two seams will be hidden by the gathers. Or you can turn it into a pleated skirt and hide the seams yourself. Anyway, all your projects look great. I can totally relate to the bit you shared about summer clothing too.
@threadandyarn
@threadandyarn 4 месяца назад
Ooh yes, interesting ideas! I think you're right that the seams would be hidden by the pleats, especially because it's a patterned fabric.

Your skirt is exactly what I want to sew next. I made an earlier version and made it too full.

It's hard to predict how it'll feel until you've done all the gathers 😊
@mlea79
@mlea79 4 месяца назад
That skirt is lovely but i have the feeling it’s going to be a bit see through? Maybe the liner will give you the fullness you desire and help protect the delicate fabric 🤷🏻‍♀️
@threadandyarn
@threadandyarn 4 месяца назад
It is quite lightweight, maybe a lining would work well!
@nadiarogo4511

Very well done! Congratulations! Same as with all trousers with this type of construction (highwaist, no elastic band, no elastic in the matherial), they look great as long as you don't ever sit down. Once you've sit down, sadly all the smartness disappears in all the creases in front and baggy butt in the back, in my opinion :( And in addition, if you need to sit for 8-10 hours in the office in such pants, they cut off all blood circulation and are super uncomfortable around the belly. To me, these are no-sit-down pants, for walking around town only, looking pretty freshly ironed :D

Hi! I found your channel yesterday and absolutely love your content! I was wondering what pattern of shirt you’re wearing in the hand-dyed yarn? I’ve been looking for a pattern like that for my hand-dyed skeins 😍
@threadandyarn

Hello, thanks so much ☺️ that's the Ripple Crop Top by Jessie Mae. It's a great pattern for hand dyed 4ply! I tend to add length to it so it's not so cropped.
@AmandaVinnicombe
@AmandaVinnicombe 29 дней назад
Hello! Thanks for this. Really inspiring. I'm about to make the Peg trousers and trying to decide whether to lengthen them... You said you shortened yours. How much by, and how tall are you? I'm 5'9" and suspect they are going to be a bit too short - I like cropped but not too cropped! Thanks so much.
@threadandyarn
@threadandyarn 4 дня назад
Hello, sorry I missed your comment! I'm not sure if you'll already have made them now, but I ended up leaving them as they were - a lot of the length from the pattern is used for the turn ups, and it worked out OK in the end. I'm 5'7 1/2" and I like a slightly shorter trouser ☺️
@AmandaVinnicombe
@AmandaVinnicombe 4 дня назад
@@threadandyarn Thanks! Really helpful. So far I have only cut them out (never enough time to sew!) but I did lengthen them a bit.
