Hi Carole, I call it my sewing room😊 Love the top... those sleeves❤❤❤ Austria Lucky you! Can’t wait to hear about it. Your daughter is what I call, your “Mini me”, she looks so much like you! Lovely❤. Hugs 🥰🥰🥰

[@socarole66]

Sewing room doesn't seem to justify the beautiful space you have to sew in, even my husband commented on it the other day when he saw me watching you! 😂. Austria was fab and I have lots of photos to show next week. Katie is very much like me I think but mainly the hair 😆, she gets her lovely eyes from my husband ☺️. She is my bestie 🥰. Thanks for watching and have a great weekend 🌷(they are on their way!) x

Great navy cardigan - your backyard hellebores are glorious.

[@socarole66]

Thank you! My Mum is always envious of my Hellebores as they are all over the garden and she finds it so hard to grow them 😄. Have a lovely week 😊

Love the 6813 Carole it's gorgeous.

Oh thank you. I've been wearing it this week on holiday and I'm very happy with it. Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment 😊

That cabin would make a great sewing studio!!! Live your NL blouse! Perfect for a fancy dinner that Chris should take you out for!!! Your daughter os a beauty just like her Mother!!! That pajama pattern is a great shape. Ahhh daffodils… my favorite! They just wont grow here in hell!! Have a blast in Austria!!! Hugs❤❤❤❤

[@socarole66]

Oh Trish I need to take a machine and some bits down to that lovely cabin don't I. It's got power WiFi and everything! I've told Katie to read some of these comments as she is just convinced everyone would have just said she is fat, she so needs a confidence boost that girl! 🥰. Don't you get daffodils in Florida? I hadn't thought about that. Oh I long to see those shoots come up every winter to give me hope for Spring 👏🏼🌷. I hope to have many hot chocs today, I'll send you photos 🤣☕️❄️❄️. Thanks for all your lovely words my friend 😘😘

Your daughter is so beautiful and she looks lovely in those makes. Nice twirls! I'm totally intrigued by that Lutterloh System and the top you made from it is gorgeous.

[@socarole66]

Oh thank you Diane that is a lovely thing to say about Katie. That will make her day! The Lutterloh system is a bit like a puzzle that you plot! It would never take the place of patterns for me but is fun to do every now and again. Thanks for watching 😊

Your Butterick top is beautiful. I have that pattern too so it's nice to see it made up.

Thank you very much Jennifer. It helps so much seeing a pattern made up sometimes doesn't it as some of the pattern covers don't really do something justice at all! I have made that pattern 4 times now and I love it. Hope you have success with it if you try it. 😊

I loved the top you showed first. The design is different and would be flattering for a lot of body types.

[@socarole66]

Thank you Joanne, you are right I think it would be very flattering for all and I like the way the ties are just to the side rather than central. Hope you are having a good week 😊

Thanks again for a lovely video Carole. Absolutely love the top on you and your daughter's was beautiful on her too. Loved seeing the signs of spring, you'll notice a difference when you return from holiday. Being in Perth Australia it's very hot but my mouth started watering at your mention of that hot chocolate. Have a wonderful holiday I'd love to try snow walking 😄

Hello Anne and thank you for all your lovely words! I look forward to Spring so much every year but I think the shoots are coming a lot earlier as we had such mild weather in November 🌷. How wonderful to be hot but we do love to see the snow as well and in a country that knows how to deal with it , not like the UK 🤣. Jen also said to me she fancied a Hot Choc as well even in Florida! Thanks for watching and have a wonderful week 😊🌷🌷

[@LaraSchiffbauer]

I am so intrigued with the Lutterloh system! My mom and I bought it together in the early 2000's and sadly, I think I gave it away when I moved. I am so sad, and am thoroughly enjoying watching you use it to make beautiful things! Also, I have the Simplicity pattern you're going to use to make the zippered shirt for your husband, as I am going to make some of the pants for my husband! I'm looking forward to seeing how you like the pattern and I'm sure the shirt will turn out beautifully! I hope you have a great time in Austria!

[@socarole66]

Hi there. The Lutterloh system is so good for making me think about sewing a bit more rather than just following instructions and I'm so glad I can use it as my Mum felt guilty her whole life for not making the most of it! That Simplicity Men's pattern I am sure was on the Sewing bee programme a couple of years ago. Some one has warned me the neck zip can be tricky so I'm going to do a mock up first before I do the real thing. Do you know until you brought it to my attention I didn't notice it had a trouser pattern as well 🤣. My hubby's birthday is mid Feb so I do have some time when I get back... I think! Thanks for watching and so far so good in Austria, lots of snow ❄️👏🏼

You are right I need to make it again in colours I feel happier with but I still love that fabric 🤣. Thanks for watching and have a lovely weekend ❄️😊

[@jacmary6580]

@@socarole66 personally I think the fabric suits you but there must be something about it that is making you think its good but not great. However, there may be a fix to that 🤔 you said a necklace helps but what about adding some trim or other embellishment that acts like a built in necklace? That may change it from like, to love 😊 perhaps tie it in with adding the same trim to the sleeves just above the flounce?

[@socarole66]

@@jacmary6580 it's funny but I was having a colour conversation with Michelle (Michelle sews again) and I was telling her about when I had my colours done back in the 80's. I ended up being a winter and I have been depressed about that my whole life 🤣. I wanted Spring so badly! I even still have the colour card and when I put something on which isn't on there I immediately get into my head I shouldn't be wearing it. Oh it's silly I know!! Thanks for the idea on the trim etc. x

That's a LOT of daffodil sprouts! Love the Butterick top - you know I love that Simplicity pattern and you'll love the pants. I need to make mine more narrow as the wider leg makes me look like an old lady that lives in Florida! 😂 Also love the shirt for Chris! And I do like that sweatshirt pattern for him, makes me want to surprise Mark with one. I may try that. Have a wonderful time in Austria! Now I want hot chocolate with whipped cream and it's 75º currently, feels like 80+. Go figure. I do like the idea of winter but not the reality! xoxoxoxox

I normally come home from Austria to those shoots so they are really advanced this year. Oh I love a daffodil! Thanks for the hint on those Simplicity trousers, I just look dumpy with the wide leg shape. You really need to make something for Mark, I don't think I can recall anything you have made? I just made another pair of underpants for Chris as he loves them! Too much info I know 😂 I can't believe I have moaned about the cold here all week and we are heading off to a colder place, this time last year I was on a flight to Florida 😭. Auf weidersehen 🗻😘xx

[@karenfrances]

I made two of those Hawaiian shirts for my husband, and two for my boys, that's a great pattern. I like the pin tuck tie on your shirt--I saw a similar tuck on the dottie angel dress I made last summer. I imagine you can tie it in the front or back. BTW: I call my sewing room the basement....hahaha... it's a walkout basement, so i'm not in the dark.

[@socarole66]

Hi Karen, a Sewing Basement? I have never heard of one of those before and yes straight away I pictured you in a dark cellar 😂. It is such a great little tie detail isn't it and it could really work on a top that comes up a little bit boxy couldn't it. That shirt pattern is awesome isn't it, a quick sew and always comes out well. Thanks for watching 😊❄️

[@joannesaliani2258]

I’m like you I just call mine the sewing room lol. I really like the Butterick top. I’ll have to check and see if it comes in a large size range. Your daughter is as beautiful as her mother. Love the fabrics in both makes… I also love all the pictures you add at the end. Like talking to a friend. Have a great trip 😊

[@socarole66]

Thank you JoAnne for your lovely comments! That Butterick top is really flattering I think but the front cover of the pattern didn't do it justice as is often the case. They do two size ranges, 6-14 and 16-24 so hope that helps. I am so glad you like my photos at the end and I really hope I can get some great ones for you next week! ❄️ Thanks again, you are very kind 😊

Thanks Michelle, it is funny but I first made those PJ's a couple of years ago and wasn't a fan. The material was a cheap viscose jersey though but making it in a nice cotton jersey has made all the difference! It is such a quick pattern to make up as well 👏.

[@sbrickett]

That top is beautiful, Carole! You have great attention to detail, that tie is perfect! I was naughty this week and ordered patterns from Simplicity’s website, like I need more. I caught the sale so I did sale a little money, right? That’s my excuse, anyway! I’m trying to sew the things that I want to this month because next mont starts the prom dresses from hell alteration nightmare! Dresses can only be altered so much until it turns into a complete remake! I have only had 1 ball gown alteration so far this month, but it’s not over. The balls in Mobile, AL start next month, so all the gowns will probably come flooding in before Feb 5. Great fun! Your other makes are great Carole, your daughter now has a nice set of pjs. Enjoy your trip, take lots of pics!

[@socarole66]

Hi Sue, I often look on the Simplicity website as the patterns come to the US way before they reach us, I noticed they had a sale! 😭 It is just not fair. I hadn't appreciated that a lot of your work all comes in at the same time, I bet you get so fed up of taffeta and girls by the end of it! You must be so much of a professional to cope with all the awkward fabrics, I only altered one of Katie's gowns once and that was enough for me! I did make a Ball Gown for myself back in the 1980's, bright red with boning and a bow on the back ha ha. I have no idea how I coped with that now 😂. Good luck and I will take lots of pics don't worry ❄️

[@sbrickett]

@@socarole66 , thanks for your kind words. Yes I do get fed up, but I just keep say to myself, “ it’s just a couple of months”. Yes, the work trickles in most of the year, except for proms and the Mardi Gras ball season. Then I drown in gowns of every color and fabrics, it is painstaking work.

[@GrannysSowingRoom]

Hello Carole, it's been a great wk for you with all those wonderful makes! I like them all!!! Your daughter is so sweet to model her makes.

Hi Sherri, that PJ pattern is great and so quick to make! I have made it 5 times now 👏 If I make something for my daughter then she knows she has to pay the price by modelling it 😂.

Snow at home...I panic...Snow on holiday then that's a different matter 💃⛄Thanks so much for watching, I know what a busy lady you are xx

[@susandt3856]

The fabric is lovely. My OCD would never allow me to wear a top that doesn’t tie directly in the front. Lol! It is perfect on you. I agree about sewing with cotton. So much easier. But what about needing a good pressing after a wash?

[@socarole66]

Ha ha I know what you mean Susan about the off centre ties but actually it's more flattering I think. Doesn't draw the attention to my tummy 🤣. As you say cotton doesn't behave quite as well in the wash so I suppose it's swings and roundabouts isn't it. It was just nice to work with cotton after so much heavy fabric of late. Have a lovely weekend 😊🧵

[@SewAndTellwithDori]

Really like your B6813 top! I just may have to get the pattern! 😉I think I might change it up a bit by sewing the ties within eye darts located in front, directly below the breasts. It would still allow for a slightly fitted shape. Love the look of the blouse using a chalis - adds a very beautiful softness and the sleeve flounces add extra feminity to the pattern. I agree that your Lutterloh top will look very nice with whilte trousers, capris or shorts. Great Friday sews post!!!

[@socarole66]

Thanks Dori. That tie idea could be used in lots of ways couldn't it, say if you had a top that turned out too boxy or ill fitting. Hope it works out well for you if you manage to get the pattern. Oh the thought of shorts or crops and warm weather 😊, looking forward to Spring already! Thanks again

[@ChrisandTagMills]

I think the colors in your Butterick 6813 - Tie front blouse are quite flattering with your hair color and skin tone. Agree that complementary jewelry will really dress it up. Very nice results!

I've found that to be not just tricky but impossible (at this point)! I need HELP! Each time I've given up and just installed a zip without the special method and outcome.

[@DebsWay]

Hi Carole! I label my sewing area a while back by calling it my "sewing nook". My sewing nook takes up a good third of a back bedroom in our house; the rest of the room is full of storage pantry shelves. It has been this way since early-pandemic days when I decided I needed to do a little more "prepping" to have foodstuff, paper goods, etc on hand. I love my little sewing nook! I really like that 6813 top with the tie on the front side. Cute! The PJ's you make do look comfortable. I have a lounging pants pattern that I love to make up but I just wear them around the house. The hood-less hoodie top that you made for your daughter -- I like that!! You sure do have a lot of sewing lined up to do when you get back from vacation. Are there any fabric shops near where you'll be in Austria? No matter what -- enjoy your holiday in beautiful Austria! In March, where all will you be in Florida. It would be wonderful to have some other sewing sisters meet up somewhere, maybe go for a meal somewhere??? If time allows, that is. What do you think about that idea?

[@socarole66]

Hi Deb, yes I love your Sewing Nook, It is the perfect little area for you and you can keep an eye on the food stock at the same time! Those PJ's are really comfy especially the trousers with the easy pocket detail. I love those pockets that you just sew on the front. I really must try making them in a more substantial fabric for jogging pants. I did initially look up fabric shops, there are loads then I remembered we are stuck for luggage allowance on this trip. Everything we are taking is so heavy, heavy jumpers, thick trousers, walking boots etc we just wouldn't get away with it 😭 Oh well, there is always JoAnns in March! Chris and I are staying in Buena Vista for 7 days and I will be going to the Expo on the Friday I think. Hopefully there will be lots of us there (Jen, Michelle, Trish, Andra, Mari?,)so it would be great to all get together. I really hope we can meet up again, in fact I'm sure we can make that happen! 😊👏 Have a good week xx
