Making a Pinterest inspired matching set (sewing tutorial)

[@fromcarlyb]

Heya mateys!!!! So good to see ya here. I hope you like the vid this week! Let me know what your best opp shop finds are in the comments - I'm so excited to know!!

I bought a set of king size sheets in the PERFECT red cotton for $8 US! I passed up a set of corgi sheets and have regretted it ever since. 😂

[@flam4874]

The best thrifted fabric I ever bought was a table cloth I found at a flea market, it's white and it has golden suns, moons and stars. It's so whimsical and I turned it into a gathered skirt😙

[@fromcarlyb]

sounds simply gorgeous !!!

In any item category I will never top this years’ find: an unfinished quilt top from the 30s/40s, handpieced scrappy hexie flowers (I did the math, 3500 pieces). Each flower has a personality and there’s hundreds of white pieces outlining each, almost framing them so she lives on my wall as a mini art gallery of its own. Since then the universe keeps sending me fabric hexagon pieces and blocks. Some will get finished for my bed, but I’m loving adding leftover blocks from someone else’s project to clothing upcycles for me -the yoke of a plain denim jacket, lengthening a simple dress with an explosion of color, hiding a random logo on a grocery tote etc I can’t be the only one who finds unfinished or handmade projects thrifting and die a little seeing them unloved then have to rescue the items right?!??? 💔❤️‍🩹💞

I love that you just randomly came up with the design for the top and it turned into the most scrumptious ruffly goodness! I'm on my way to make one right now!!

[@fromcarlyb]

hahaha I definitely was going off those pinterest pics but thank you!!! go well mate!

[@lonnielove8452]

you make the baby doll style look so good! I look pregnant in babydoll cuts but I'm living vicariously through you lol

[@fromcarlyb]

Men could never know this feeling 😌

[@cerwelt]

So cute and well executed. Something I would have loved to have worn at your age. Being a chunky grandma, it’s out of the question now. Both my first and last name mean cherry, my first is Cerise and it’s French. My last name is 🍒 Cherry. Finding a cute dress at a thrift store covered with cherries was a blast. It’s a bit snug, but I have so much cherry fabric I plan to split the side seams and add panels to make it fit. Can’t wait. 😅

[@KelseyDrummer]

I found a bunch of blue striped suiting the last time I went thrifting with my grandma before she got sick. I'm saving it for a special project.❤

[@fromcarlyb]

that's amazing. and so special that you found it together

[@brwn_bear6505]

I want to skip work to sew this top! It’s so pretty. ❤

[@fromcarlyb]

hehehe thank you!

[@SaraNyaannyan]

such a cute set! :heart_eyes: Also I would love a tutorial on your bow headband! it's soo cute 🥰 My favorite thrift store find ( sewing related ) was this suuper cute bedsheet that was white with pastel eightes squiggles and shapes all over it! It became a lovely skirt C=

[@LaurenWetzelArt]

I found a nice quality wool overcoat for $20 today! it has a few holes in the pockets but nothing I can’t fix and the price was unbeatable

[@fromcarlyb]

YAYYYYYY that's awesome

[@MrsLeBlanc14]

New follower as I’m a huuuge fan of sewing and have not found many fellow sewists who’s content I enjoy, I am here to say I love your videos (that I have already watched) and I’m about to go watch the rest. This top is SO cute and has inspired me to make something like it in dress form for my daughter ❤

[@fromcarlyb]

This is the nicest comment!! Well thank you for watching - I appreciate you!! this top as a dress & for a little one - GORGEOUS!! I hope it goes well!!

[@robynr]

I think my best thrifted fabric was a green heavy linen duvet cover. It is so pretty and a rich green. It retails for $109- $129 and I got it for $15/$16 usd!!!! And it was new! 💕 The problem is I love linens, so I never know if I want to make something out of them or keep them as is. Sometimes I want doubles or triples of each one and that’s not always possible. Lol

[@fromcarlyb]

oh that's incredible!!!! you scored!!!!

[@zoeyscott2762]

My best find has been this super cute vintage sheets for $2 at a thrift store on the coast!!

[@Puppy52]

Good tip on the waistband!

[@maliellis1057]

this is the most comforting video i've ever watched im obsessed

[@sarahstop1534]

I literally love this comments section! So much knowledge being shared!!

[@kaytiej8311]

So many sweet op shop finds. Best one for price - over 40 mts pink and white stripe soft furnishing fabric for $20. One I love the most - a hand painted water colour of a tree near shallow water in grass at sunset.

[@fromcarlyb]

40 METERS!!!!!! That's amazing!!!! And also that hand painted water colour sounds like a treasure

[@alogg1360]

With a few more tiers the top could be a dress. I love the sleeves. Really cute outfit. I love it!

[@fromcarlyb]

Love it!!

[@jordanalice___]

I got a $3 table cloth with the most lovely green and pink gingham and turned it into a little skirt and top set. So in love. I think I need to add interfacing to the skirt waistband to make it sit nicely but I've never done that before so eeep. This video was so cute, absolutely adore the results 😍 😊

[@fromcarlyb]

ok that sounds unbelievably cute. hope the waistband goes well - you can do it!

[@TheSewingCircle-LesleyRosas]

Hello, my sewing friend!! ❤ I love the simplicity and ease of these boxers! Great video! Your tag is adorable. I'm obsessed! 🎉

[@fromcarlyb]

Hi sewing mate!!! Aw thank you so much!

[@peejthepeach7272]

If you haven’t made nothing out of that bedsheet yet, you should recreate one of your favourite childhood dresses with it !

[@annasavio2595]

Omg this is the cutest thing ever!!! I just started following you, you’re too adorable and I really love your style!!! Haven’t thrifted any fabric yet, I’m kinda new but I was working on a crochet sparkly skirt while watching this, you we’re super inspirational 💖💖💖✨

[@fromcarlyb]

Aw thank you for following!! A sparkly crochet skirt sounds incredible - i hope it goes well!

[@singhosanna3962]

Love it! Sewing is my favorite kind of puzzle!❤

[@fromcarlyb]

Mine too!! Keeps the hands and the mind busy!

[@ellensetchkopalmerlee6481]

Love this video! Thank you for sharing your process! That is the CUTEST top you made! 😍 And thank you for sharing the thick hemline trick! So helpful 🥳 My best thrift store find was many yards of beautiful navy linen fabric! Such a great find! I made a Milky Way galaxy dress with it 😁

[@fromcarlyb]

Thank you so much!!! The hemline thing is game changing fr! And that sounds like such a win - love that for you!!

[@robynr]

Love how the set turned out. It’s so cute. 💕

[@fromcarlyb]

thank you so much!

[@beckyweaver3529]

You bring such joy Carly!

[@fromcarlyb]

aw!!!

[@sverstraaten5626]

Best op shop find was my 4 thread overlocker for 40€!

[@fromcarlyb]

CMONNNNN so good!

[@MadzOffMain]

I've been seeing this trend EVERYWHERE as well! I really want to make a part of bloomers and you've inspired me!

[@fromcarlyb]

bloomers sound SO CUTE!!!!!!

[@ainakailabontehehe]

Lovely video!1!! so cute and inspiring!!!

[@fromcarlyb]

[@felinetherapy4782]

Super cute!

[@fromcarlyb]

thank you!!!

[@FoD1975]

Gorgeous outfit! 😍 Best find was a vintage duvet cover with different fabrics front and back. Made dresses for both of my daughters, one in each fabric! Deb xx

[@maianichole]

You are just the sweetest! I love all your makes and your videos. You always inspire me to go get sewing! I recently went to a fabric store sidewalk sale and got tons of neat fabric, one of which is a large photo of a daisy field printed on fabric, new dress for me soon 🥰 or maybe a two piece like this!!

[@fromcarlyb]

Aw thank you!! Appreciate you taking the time to comment! Oh that's the BEST!!!

[@238Tina1]

Carly you are absolutely amazing! You are one of my biggest inspirations at the moment and I love your content 🥰💕🥰

[@fromcarlyb]

Aw thank you so much for watching mate!! I appreciate you!!

[@CraftyandChic]

Love, love, love the top and the lave detail!!

[@zinxzi]

I think my favourite find was actually the other day, I found some vintage 1970s McDonalds bedsheets. They are super colourful and totally my vibe :D Going to upcycle them into some cute shorts and maybe a tee set! :)

[@abaeterno]

This is so cute!!! I just found your channel earlier and I’ve been watching your videos all day, I love seeing all of the fun designs you’ve tried and can’t wait to see more 💕

[@nancywalter7555]

Such a cute set.

[@TheNewYear75]

great work

[@mandaS1975]

Wow, so adorable 💕 I love this set!

[@cpcaroff]

You are adorable! I love watching your videos!

[@fromcarlyb]

Aw thank you so much for watching!!

[@pocketfullofbugs]

This is so good! I actually haven’t had many good fabric finds at a opp shop. Probably my favourite is a light flowy king size bed set with colourful stripes. I hope to make a nice summer dress out of it 😍

[@ainakailabontehehe]

14:44 I love thisss!!!!

[@fromcarlyb]

hehe!!

[@melissadavey2131]

So cute!! With the mini ruffles, are they just overlocked finished or is there a little hem? I love finding pillow cases, as often they reflect the trend of a time, are cheap and have enough fabric for some projects!

[@fromcarlyb]

I overlocked the edge & tucked it under once as a little hem! You could do a regular hem too, I was just being a bit lazy !!

[@PandoraSummer-d9v]

Wide is horizontal. Long is vertical. That makes it easier to remember.

[@fromcarlyb]

love it!

I am truly curious about what you will use for your fabric find :-)

[@IonIsFalling7217]

If you’ve got sensory issues or just hate tags, stitching an X on the back seam works too!

[@fromcarlyb]

you are a GENIUS!!

[@pocketfullofbugs]

Brilliant idea!

[@hysteric-and-hysterical]

Smashed it!

[@anjak.8183]

👏 You are a cool person

[@fromcarlyb]

YOU'RE COOL !!

[@hediehtoorani]

Love itttt❤

[@МухаЦокотуха-я7б]

[@CSinclair-t5k]

Non roll is great BUT the caveat is that it dry rots WAY faster

[@LaurenWetzelArt]

what does that mean

[@Truechildofgod]

u remind me of Racheal mcaddams
