Yes please to another wheel of fate. I love this series, it inspires me to be more adventurous in my own sewing

[@socarole66]

Thanks so much for the comment and vote for the wheel. I will do another series in the New Year don't worry. 🧵😊

[@sbrickett]

I love that multicolored fabric, that blouse looks so feminine on. The other one is very nice also. Great job as always and you most definitely are a very experienced seamstress. Love this series, so oh yes, please bring it back again. 😊

[@socarole66]

Thanks so much Sue, the flowery top really is a statement piece for me as I have nothing like it in my wardrobe. I am glad you enjoy the series and it will certainly return in the new year. I am glad you think I can sew, I always think I just muddle along! 🧵😊

[@jeric2773]

Another Fabric Wheel Series....YES, PLEASE!!

[@socarole66]

Wonderful, thanks so much for your comment 🧵😊

[@nancyhilborn885]

Definitely not bored by the wheel! Two more lovely makes. It's great that you are trying some new silhouettes. It can be a bit of a risk but occasionally you find a new favorite

[@socarole66]

You are right Nancy that floral one was quite brave for me but I think it worked, as you say, I tried some new silhouettes. Glad you want the wheel to return. Thanks for watching 🧵😊

[@leannsews]

Love them both but the second one is especially pretty and right on trend.

[@socarole66]

Thank you so much for saying something I have made is on trend!! That makes me very happy. 🧵😊

[@janeolson2961]

Love the Wheel of Fate...please continue. Great ideas come from this, thank you!

[@socarole66]

Thank you Jane, so many votes for the wheel to return so I am so pleased. 🧵😊

[@lindaladner4949]

Yes to the wheel! Two more great makes. You inspire me to sew, so thank you.

[@socarole66]

Thank you so much Linda, I am glad you enjoy the wheel videos 🧵😊

[@lauragoodrich5618]

I really like both tops on you. I will take your word for it about the sleeves on the first one, but it looks lovely IMO. I also really enjoy the fabric wheel. It inspires me to look at my fabrics more creatively and to get them sewn.

[@socarole66]

Thanks so much for your kind comments and I am glad you find the wheel videos enjoyable...and helpful! 🧵😊

[@annettecowburn-sz8cq]

Both lovely tops Carole. It just shows, we need to try out new patterns, because,who knows, we may love the results. Thanks for the fabric wheel of fortune...its been a great series.

[@socarole66]

You are right Annette, those patterns have sat in my files for a long time and now I've tried them which is brilliant! The wheel works so well for me. Thanks so much for always watching 🧵😊

[@antoniaburlingame5921]

Hi Carole. I'm glad the Fabric Wheel of Fate will be back -- I've really enjoyed the series and think it's a fun way to dig in to your stash and get stuff made up instead of just shuffling fabric around while 'managing' your stash. Thanks, Antonia

[@socarole66]

Thank you so much and with all these votes the Wheel will definitely come back next year! As you say, it is a great way of using up fabric and pattern stash. Thanks for watching 🧵😊

[@kathymcconville6428]

Love the fabric wheel excitement! Please don't stop. Both blouses are very pretty. I don't see all the fulness of the long sleeves on the pattern either but what you ended up with looks really great on you. Love the peplum blouse too. I think you've added some nice variety to your wardrobe. I also really love the top you are wearing. Some nice tops.

[@socarole66]

Thank you so much Kathy, the wheel will return I just didn't want people to get bored of it! I love doing it as it makes sewing more of a challenge for me. As you say, with these blouses I have definitely added some different styles to my wardrobe which will be so useful. 🧵😊

[@cindysparks8209]

Of course we want to see the fabric wheel! Sew much fun.

[@socarole66]

Thanks so much Cindy! 🧵😊

[@patriciaingram803]

I love that second top. Very stylish.

[@socarole66]

Thank you so much, I don't have many pieces that are stylish in my wardrobe so I love your comment!! 🧵😊

[@annscott4031]

Love both of them Carole. I would love to see another series of the Fabric Wheel of Fate. Also looking forward to more Lutterloh.

[@socarole66]

Thank you Ann, now those pieces are made and lots of family birthdays are over I can finally get the chance to make up that Lutterloh top I mentioned! 🧵😊

[@riahenley9974]

Lovely blouses…gorgeous fabrics…bring the wheel back next spring …..😊🇦🇺

[@socarole66]

Thank you so much! The wheel will definitely make a return 🧵😊

[@AZ-pf8qq]

Love the pattern/fabric wheel and I’m not bored with it. Love your videos ❤

[@socarole66]

Thank you so much, that is so kind of you. 🥰🧵

[@marciahighsmith4820]

Carol, it is so fun to see you use the spinning wheel thingie. I simply pull out whatever I need to use up and try to find I have enough of one fabric to sew up which pattern. I am sewing another blouse and a couple of Love Notion's Metric Blazers. They are out of ponte and not really blazers at all. I will use them as open cardigans, as the weather cools off. I really love your challenges with buttons. You make me smile. Have a good week and I look forward to Friday Sews!

[@socarole66]

Thanks so much, I am glad you still like the Wheel videos! Now the Metra Blazer is one I really admire whenever anyone makes one, I know Izzy has a couple of lovely ones. Have fun making yours, you sound like you are very busy at the moment! ' See' you on Friday! 🧵😊

[@stephaniecruz8260]

Carol as always great job, yes I love the fabric wheel of fate 😊😅❤

[@socarole66]

Thanks so much Stephanie, the wheel series is so much fun for me as well so glad people still want it! 🧵😊

[@michturner179]

Beautiful tops thank you Carole and yes do the wheel again….love it xx😊

[@socarole66]

Thank you so much for watching and yes, sounds like the wheel will return after Christmas I expect! 🧵😊

[@barbarawarner4645]

I so love you lined the sleeve flounce. It makes the blouse so rich looking.

[@socarole66]

Thanks Barbara, I was so pleased in myself to taking the time to do that as I know I have regretted it before. Hope you have had a good week 🧵😊

[@RunningWithScissors-th8jo]

You know I love the wheel!! Both tops are pretty. I like the second one the best! 🥰👍

[@socarole66]

Ha ha yes the wheel works so well doesn't it!! Not sure I could decide without mine anymore 😂. Thanks for your kind comments 🧵😊

[@dizzyquiltsandsews]

I absolutely love both blouses! The blue one is so fun with those big sleeves and the fabric on the second one is super pretty! I love the wheel so yes, please bring it back in the Spring! Xx 💞

[@socarole66]

Thanks so much Izzy, I am being silly about the blue sleeves as they will have a cardigan over them most of the time anyway 😂. The neckline was a pig to do though! Glad you want the wheel to return as I have some 'challenging' fabrics that need sewing up. Hope you have recovered from Jet Lag now!! 🧵😊xxx

[@dizzyquiltsandsews]

@@socarole66 I’m feeling a lot more like myself today! 😊

[@amandawiehe5424]

Thumbs up Carole. The tops look great on you. Peplum is full in trend!

[@socarole66]

Thank you so much, I had no idea Peplum is still on trend but thinking about it my daughter wears a lot of peplum tops! 🧵😊

[@margaretwilson6427]

I always enjoy your fabric wheel. I'm sure you could do a autumn/winter one. Love both your blouses. x

[@socarole66]

Thank you so much! I will probably wait until the New Year for the wheel to return as it is almost gift sewing time and I do have a lot of Autumn makes planned. Thanks for your sweet comments on the blouses 🧵😊

[@yvonnewatkins4272]

Your blouse are lovely love them both l love your wheel xx

[@socarole66]

Thank you so much for your kind comments and yay, another vote for the wheel! 🧵😊

[@MaryCunningham-u5j]

Two more beautiful blouses! I like the sleeves on the first one although they are not in your comfort zone, and that's important because if an item doesn't feel right it won't get worn. It was worth the extra time and trouble to face the flounce on the second top, and yes, I love the Fabric Wheel of Fate!

[@socarole66]

Thanks so much. To be honest the blue one will probably be worn with a cardigan over the Autumn Winter so I won't notice the sleeves anyway! I can't wait to wear the flowery one on our next trip away and so glad I lined the flounce as you say. Happy Sewing 🧵😊

[@lydiadossantos9099]

All the tops you made came out beautiful. I'd love to see your wheel again. Will you please show your easy way of making your bias binding. Will really appreciate it ❤

[@socarole66]

Hi Lydia, thanks so much for your kind comments on my tops. I am a bit confused about the bias binding part, did I say I made some in this video?! I really do think I am getting old sometimes 😂. Let me know 🧵😊

[@lydiadossantos9099]

@socarole66 Sorry, it was in a previous video of you, I think it was before you went on holiday

[@socarole66]

@@lydiadossantos9099 I did talk about the way I do Bunting, could that be what you heard? 🧵

Both look lovely on you, Carole! Such a fun series! 😘💗

[@socarole66]

Oh thank you so much Andra, you are so kind 🥰🧵💗

[@Lindam47]

Definitely love more wheel vlogs.

[@socarole66]

Amazing, thank you so much! 🧵😊

[@carolgardiner7983]

Love the Fabric Wheel of Fate. Always fun to see what you end up making. My friend and I call those blouses "Ladies do Lunch" tops. You know, the tops you don't wear around the house or in everyday life but you put them on to go out with your friends and you feel a bit dressed up. Both are very pretty and a bit different than you regular makes. Thanks for sharing.

[@socarole66]

Thanks so much Carol, you are right about that flowery top, it is very much an evening or lunch out type of top! I can't wait to get the chance to wear it. The Wheel will return in the New Year! 🧵😊

[@trudyberry3267]

Great blouses Carole, the second is my favourite. Thumbs up for the fabric wheel of fate. ❤

[@socarole66]

Mine too! Even though the second one is a bit brave for me I really like it. Glad you want the wheel to return at some point. thanks for watching 🧵😊

[@AnnFHallahan]

Loved your fabric wheel series. Both blouses lovely but i"d prefer the second one. I often mak a peplum, the high/low peplum gives me ideas 😊. Thanks again

[@socarole66]

Thank you so much Ann, the second one is my favourite too as a very dressy blouse, something I don't have in my wardrobe. Glad you like peplums too! 🧵😊

[@LovingHandsDesign]

Both top look really great on you. I wasn’t sure of the first fabric, but it truly works. Great job!!!

[@socarole66]

Like you, I wasn't sure on the first fabric at all until it was made up. Funny how that goes isn't it?! Thanks for watching 🧵😊

[@debs4264]

Carole I love them both but I had to chuckle because I would say the second ones were much more 'statement' sleeves than the first! Both gorgeous on you tho

[@socarole66]

Thanks Deb, I am such a chicken about sleeves and if they are remotely baggy I get scared of them being noticed! The second one is my favourite though. 🧵😊

[@greenquiltsgalore1326]

The Fabric Wheel of Fate is great! We all learn from your experiences!

[@socarole66]

Thank you and believe me, I learn a lot too!! The great thing this time round is I sewed up 6 patterns I had not attempted before so i am really chuffed. 🧵😊

[@julesduff7238]

😊 Yes bring back the wheel great fun

[@socarole66]

Thanks so much for watching and your comment! 🧵😊

[@InAgatasCottage]

Stunning blouses, Carole. I have to say I love the blue one more :) I just love this type of neckline:) I love the wheel

[@socarole66]

Thanks Agata, you ought to give the Butterick top a go, as you say, I think you would like that one. Thanks for watching 🧵😊xx

[@angienorman5974]

That blue blouse is beautiful! Love the sleeves!

[@socarole66]

Thank you so much, I know I will learn to love those sleeves! 🧵😊

[@pinkysfarm461]

WE WANT THE FABRIC WHEEL! Please please olease bring back the fabric wheel! Your shirts are both adorable! Love that brightly colored one. That collar placket on the blue shirt looks intimidating, 😳but love the wnd result. Do you find that you run out of room to store all your makes? My closets and drawers are so jam packed. It makes me reluctant to sew more clothes, but I cant stop myself! Nice sewing you mid week again!!❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@socarole66]

Ha ha the wheel will definitely return next year, I am glad so many people like it and aren't bored as I love doing it 😂. Re wardrobe space, I am pretty good at clearing out quite often as I only have a small wardrobe unlike you with your vast room!! I do keep my out of season clothing packed away though which helps. I know I do sew a lot of things but a lot of women buy a lot of clothes and NEVER wear them, at least I do wear what I make 😂. Let's face it, we probably all spend a quarter what others spend in the shops making our own stuff so I never feel guilty....maybe sometimes when the huge packages of fabric arrive at the door 😳. Miss you loads and thanks for stopping by xxxx

[@SewAndTellwithDori]

Great blouses, Carole! Look so good on you, too. Yes, please do the WOF again next spring. It's great fun to see what patterns get matched up with which fabrics and especially your reaction to the spins. You've seemed very pleased at the end results and it sounds like it's been fun for everyone since there are a few other sewists doing the same thing. Glad to have you back again. 🥰

[@socarole66]

Thanks Dori, the wheel is certainly fun to do and as you say, it makes me sew up the fabrics that I really am unsure of! The blouses all turned out so well in this series .. luckily!! I am so glad Nancy has had success with her wheel as well as Mary 👏🏼. Hope all is well with you and you are finally unpacked! 🧵😊xx

[@SewAndTellwithDori]

@@socarole66 Finished unpacking?!? LOLOLOL!!!!!! Not hardly. Wish i were half finished. No, unfortunately, it's going to take a while. 😢 I take a day off now and then just so I don't go crazy. One of these days, my day off will be errand running and lunch with Trish. 😀

Awesome thank you so much!! 🧵😊

[@dianewilliams7931]

Carole, it looks like your trip was lovely. Candy corn and nuts is my favorite fall treat! Salted mixed nuts are also good (but that does make it more expensive). Excited to see more of your fall makes.X

[@socarole66]

Hi Diane, we did have a wonderful trip thank you. I am pleased to say I still have the candy corn and only eat a couple of bits a day, without the nuts though 😂. I was very pleased with the two tops I made and showed last Friday, Autumn sewing is well on its way for me! Thanks for your comment 🧵😊

[@clairerosey9921]

I totally love those blouses, especially the first one for me. It’s very much my style, I think the sleeves are lovely.🥰

[@socarole66]

Thanks so much, that is really kind of you. The first one is more everyday I think and I would happily make that again with just slimmer sleeves! 🧵😊

[@luvmycrafts_Mary]

Hi Carole! I think the “scary” sleeves look pretty! I love lovely love the wheel and will not get bored! You are an inspiration! I will be patient for the next series! I am so behind on my dice only because I’m making dresses for project dress a girl❤❤❤ As always, great to see you!XX ❤❤

[@socarole66]

Hey Mary!! I am such a chicken when it comes to sleeves and don't want to 'stand out' from the crowd 😂. I am glad you want the fabric wheel to return because I want to see more of your dice!! Well done on the PDAG dresses, I wonder how many Mari has got so far? Hope to see a video from you soon xxx💗

[@DebsWay]

Yes, YES, YES!!! Please do continue with The Fabulous Fickle Fabric Wheel of Fate!! You are making great use of your stash. I like the style of both shirts you made. The first one certainly had a more billowy sleeve to it than what the pattern picture showed. It looked nice though. Happy Sewing!

[@socarole66]

Thank you so much Deb. I can't believe how billowy those sleeves were on the blue top and I trimmed them down a lot! I should have taken more notice of the pattern piece. That neckline was a bit of a devil to do though I will admit. Hope all is well with you all, miss you! 🧵😊xx

[@socarole66]

Oh Diana, I really should stop keeping stuff for 'best' shouldn't I! Maybe I will wear that top more than I think. I did wear the split sleeves one for lunch on Monday and got compliments so there is my lesson! Have a great rest of the week 💗🧵

Loved the peplum top absolutely gorgeous and great idea to line the cuff so the white is covered. I have always stayed away from the front of the first because of it looks difficult to do. But great makes ❤

Definitely bring back the fabric wheel next year! I really enjoyed it. Since you do grading between sizes would you consider doing a video showing you actually doing the grading between the sizes and how you go about it? I have graded between sizes, but I'm not sure if how I'm doing it is correct.

[@socarole66]

Oh dear Zelda, the way I do it is literally just cut on one line then guess where to cut the larger size 😂. That is kind of what the Big 4 Pattern sheet always says. It depends where you are smaller and bigger i suppose so I wouldn't show that in a video as we are all different. 🧵😊

The tops look but I'd be tempted to change the sleeve to 3/4 length. It's not too late to do 8t.

[@socarole66]

Hi and thanks for your comment. I don't know why I am too worried about the sleeves to be honest as they will most often be under a cardigan anyway 😂. When I have 3/4 sleeves it always annoys me when I have another layer on top with full length. 🧵😊
