making a quilted patchwork hoodie for my favourite artist

[@fromcarlyb]

hi everyone!! i hope you're having a great day! how are all of your projects going? i love hearing about all the details

[@aroha9090]

Kia ora! I'm currently trying to finish some adhd-stalled projects before the weekend. Would you maybe be able to let us know what brand/thickness of embroidery thread that is? Or even an Amazon link in your details to it if you have time? Thanks so much for these videos, they're so great!!

[@therewillbecatswithgwenhwyfar]

I'm gardening! I'm in the US so it's spring!

[@pamistyle]

youll find all my projects on my channel - just started another kawandi freestyle quilt - thats so much fun!

[@AshleyHCRcurvie]

I just finished my first successful skirt with an elastic waistband, made for my very long legged 8 year old xD Its my first success and it has me absolutely ecstatic about where I can go from there in making clothes that can actually really fit my special girl ❤

[@acesargent9604]

My life just came full circle because Vancouver sleep clinic was something I listened to every day. Been watching your videos for the past couple weeks and what a wild connection!

[@styleme3375]

Carly before you start your bigger hand sewing project, get yourself a leather thimble. They are comfortable and they mold to your finger over time. You could honestly make one for yourself if you got a scrap of soft leather. Just make sure you are covering your “pusher” finger to protect it from the needle. Loved your hoodie. So thoughtful. I bet it’s going to be comfortable as hell once he breaks it in a bit. Who doesn’t want to be wrapped in a hand stitched quilt all day!?!

[@itty-bittyghost9787]

dude I was OBSESSED with the winter ep this is so wild. I love seeing talented siblings being successful 🥹

[@fromcarlyb]

whaaaaat that's so cool!!!!! it's a fav of mine too !

[@briannakyse5167]

I swear, Carly is the most refreshing person to watch

[@scallopcarol]

I've listened to your brother's music for years now! What a world... Curious to know his reaction to this amazing gift. Loved the colors and the technique. I am still gathering the courage (and money) to buy a machine and start sewing... Always glad to see your makings.

[@kristofkramar-hendrickson9474]

Hello! experienced tailor here. genuinely OBSESSED with your own thought process and method, i must say first. honestly take a pic of it so u don't forget that because that more stylized approach is sick. ok now i do want to actually help u so you also have the other way of doin it, added to ur roster of seam finishing's. for 100 percent secureness, sew the bias tape right sides together with the seam allowance. then turn the bias tape over and under the seam when pressed flat. then sew in the ditch so that the stitch line is hidden. the second way is more like u guessed! simply sandwich the seam allowance between the bias tape and sew away! Personally i find this way harder cuz u gotta be good at aligning the bias perfectly and a lot of times u gotta go back and re-stitch shit. not my favorite.

[@JakatozoDesigns]

I am a 50yo sewist who loves your videos! So wish they had been around when I was younger, I would have been so inspired! Also using a thimble will make a huge difference to protecting your fingers when quilting - they are a game changer!!

[@k-creationskristinhuxford4531]

HI Carly! Great project. I bet your brother loves it! I don’t know if you have heard of it before but when I quilt by hand I pop the knot which must means that when I start a new thread, I do a quilters knot at the end of the thread. Then I enter the fabric about a quarter inch from where I actually want to start my quilting. I go into the batting and not all the way through the quilt sandwich. Then I hold the fabric taunt where the knot is and I give it a little yank. This puts the knot into the batting layer of the quilt thus eliminating the need to worry about what to do with it in your seam allowances. If you want to see this there are a lot of hand quilting videos out there and honestly, the older the lady teaching the knot pop the more amazed you will be cuz it’s magical. And well practiced quilters make it look easy. It is not. But it is a great solution and very worth learning.

[@fancynancypantsshow]

i love hand sewing in front of the tv, with my adhd its a much better alternative then playing on my phone and watching tv.

[@fromcarlyb]

WHY IS IT SO ENJOYABLE?!! I understand!!

[@beckyweaver3529]

I hope we get to see your brother loving wearing his hoody!!!

[@OtterChomp]

There’s something deeply satisfying about the fact that you enjoy the process, and that you take the extra time to do the lovely steps that really bring character to the garments. It’s not just a means to an end, and that’s just swell

[@KackyMuse]

Your original designed earth-toned hoodie is spectacular!

[@evasaker2476]

I ADORE that hoodie you made for your brother. Such a thoughtful gift, he must be thrilled! When you talkad about letting the fabric ”speak to you” I knew exactly what you meant, it’s this organic way of patchwork that I love and do myself. I also love how you have this vision of your brother’s vibe and create according to that. As several others have recommended, always use a thimble when you handsew 😊

[@emilyballard9410]

Oh my goodness, I love your brother’s music! I listen to someone to stay on repeat constantly

[@pamistyle]

hi carly, i am ALWAYS using thimbles when sewing with hand - slowstitching, quilting, embroidery... ALWAYS! I am using a clover silicon thimble and a clover silicon finger thingy for the pointing finger. that makes getting the needle through so easy and no pain at all! It also depeds what kind of needle you are using. for quilting i recommend pony needles - but i am also using milliners no. 3 a lot or bigger, if i am using thicker thread! you can find my favorite supplies in a video on my channel! i love the hoodie - always impressed how you just do it! keep going girl!

[@vivonalua]

currently 04:30am in the UK. Doing night shifts suck, but tonight's shift was blessed with the drop of a new video just as I started my break. what a treat!! Thank you for bringing sunshine and creativity to my days Carly!

[@felipe5horas]

20:25 wow! what a sweet smile. The energy you show in your videos are incredibly fueling for me.

[@fromcarlyb]

thanks for watching aw!!

[@AnnTilleyHandmade]

I used to get sad/mad when my husband didn’t like clothes I made him, but I’ve learned I just can’t get mad about what someone wants to wear. So I’ll usually gift them again to a guy friend who will love them!

[@rosesbaker]

Carly... you have a great SERGER sitting on your table... that machine would secure your seams and finish them without the bulk.... I love your process. Keep it up 😂😊

[@fromcarlyb]

hahahah you're right!!! you're so right

[@gglaurengg]

Just in case you're interested in exploring it further (I am making my first quilt!) a lot of hand quilters that like thicker thread use size 12 thread. Normal sewing thread is like... size 40 I think. It can come in lots of colors including gradients and multicolors! The two brands I know of are aurafil and wonderfil. I'm sure there are others.

[@xfrelinx]

I think you solved the seam issue great! I would have done a flat felled finish. (right sides together, trim one seam allowance, wrap the other seam allowance around it and stitch down through all layers) This seam is very strong as well. You could also trim the batting before doing this for a super flat finish. Love the hoodie!!

[@KGlena-kx1df]

The patchwork ironing board cover, ‘another cut another patch’ moment is wonderful! Such a good life approach too 💗 The tip on extra stitches by the seams after you cut your pieces is so ingenious I’m ashamed it’s never occurred to me 😂

[@dee6075]

For someone like myself who has issues with feeling of seams, the way you did the binding is fantastic

[@emmac1105]

adding a piece like this to my bucket list of clothing items i would love to have, this is so gorgeously crafted!! the love and care you put into making it look nice and be long lasting is aspirational!

[@littleaudity]

this is hilarious; I also just finished a jacket for my brother AND I'm working on a quilt lolol love how this make turned out! bias binding is attached using one of the wings to the right side (right sides together), then folded over to the other side. you can either just stitch it down on the machine or carefully whip stitch them down if you don't want the bias tape showing on the front side

[@ljshaw8516]

Cotton Perle No. 8 by DMC is lovely too.

[@kara1084]

That’s my favorite! So many colors and the slight sheen is really pretty. Big stitch hand quilting is one of my favorite things to do.

[@ljshaw8516]

[@schnivy]

I've listened to your brother's music for a while! Collapse is my favourite song 🥹 You are both so talented!

You would probably love Cherrywood fabric! It's all hand dyed with tons of variation, like the piece of fabric you said you loved.

[@KelseyCodes]

Hi Carly! I’ve never commented in your videos but I have to say I feel like you’re so fun and your projects are so inspiring! I got inspired this week to make a quilted soccer ball for my best friend’s baby, which apparently requires me to learn English Paper Piecing. It’ll be an adventure!

[@tamijennings7886]

Love this tutorial!❤

[@iwishfortherain]

Awesome job! I made a quilt coat in the past and just had some flappy bias bound seams that I stitched to the seam allowance for the armholes and I did a similar thing to what you did for the other seams. The big difference I did was I used a bias bind for my hem and centre front opening so avoid excess bulk at the hem.

[@cerwelt]

You need a Sashiko thimble when quilting with such big thread. Just a thought. I embroider and a thimble is a must for thick threads and very think fabric.

[@heathermade7294]

I feel like when I do bias seam finishing I end up with bias bound nubbins which can then be flat felled down, but I really like how flat your technique turned out. Also loving the curved patchwork you did! Definitely need to incorporate that in my next quilt

[@luzUpcycles]

Really nice! I love it! well done! you brother is lucky you care so much! ❤

So generous of you to do a pattern breakdown! 🥹💗 I'll be heading over to see that! 👍🏻 I don't get on with thimbles, but have found that covering my needle-pushing finger with sticking plaster (don't know if that's what you call it in Australia? The sticky stuff you put on a grazed knee) works brilliantly! Just downloaded the Vancouver Sleep Clinic's playlist on Spotify and like what I've heard so far! ⭐ Bit Coldplay-ish I think. 😍 Lots of love and hugs, Deb xx 🤗💕 PS. I think this tutorial: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iXe8omWKl9uBeKMsi=_ol--80R4UYhU_dD has the kind of binding you want. It's a gorgeous project and a she's a lovely lady, but if you just want the binding bit it's about 10 minutes in. 🤗🤗
