[@susanhemion2981]

I had to break it up but enjoyed the entire show 👍🏻

[@charlottemcgregor1011]

Thankyou Stuart and carol for another great show full of tips and tricks…and thankyou for answering my question . Boule fabric is beautiful OMG the construction / engineering involved is scary BUT wouldn’t a Channel ‘ inspired ‘ jacket be fabulous ❤️

[@carolalayne1555]

There's so much work in one of those jackets, if done in the style, and with all the interlining and linings!

[@J4orce]

Thank you for answering my question about setting in sleeves -- I get it now! 😀

[@carolalayne1555]

Excellent!!

[@tomscrafts]

Thank you for the answer to my question. Batman's mask at 21:02 was an amusing surprise. It's nice to see that a proper expert also lays a fabric edge against a ruler. I sometimes do that with a mobile fabric before cutting out.

[@fanp1188]

Opening ceremony sounds interesting... Chickens!!!!!

[@fanp1188]

How does Carol keep her focus? Doesn't she 'fall out of love ' with doing so much work, that must be perfect?

[@carolalayne1555]

I think it is just the love of building things and the satisfaction of learning more about the craft with each new project.

[@fanp1188]

... And seeing Carol's kimono changes...

[@sjweigel9671]

Love these discussions and the way the lessons are integrated. Am trying to get up the nerve to make clothes again -- did a lot years ago but now the expense of the fabric and patterns are a bit daunting. Fun to get some tools/ideas for problem solving when sewing garments. Thanks for doing these.

[@SueTownson]

I have seen 2 pattern suggestions for Luke's dress - PatternCos Weddy dress and Viki Sews Harley Dress if that is helpful Carole. I did manage to get the whole show watched this week - fascinating.😎❤

[@marywilson6760]

Thank you Stuart and Carol. Another enjoyable video. Carol explains things so much better in regards to all the styles and techniques. A lot of it is way above my head. but still very interesting. OOOh I like the idea of Carol bringing a knitter along, that will be brilliant for you Stuart, just your cup of tea. Something to look forward to in the coming months. Thank you both again. 🙂🪡🧵

[@carolalayne1555]

Love this comment about the clarity of the explanations, thank you!

[@doriscook4337]

Loved this episode

[@sharonquinn9424]

Wonderful show as usual, so informative. Carol is just amazingly knowledgeable and makes things make sense. Love the idea of different crafts like knitting, patchworking, quilting etc. you should be on TV

[@carolalayne1555]

So glad to hear you like the demos! The guest appearances talking about other crafting skills will go down a treat, we think.

[@ireneholland7539]

Brilliant as always - I don't actually make clothes but I just love watching Carol showing how it's done - it's like engineering with fabric!

[@carolalayne1555]

It can feel a bit mechanical sometimes!!

[@janecornell4890]

Such great tips! Carol is fantastic. I thought that black and white dress was very Chanel. I'm no fashionista but I was confused now I feel better. Thank you Carol! I made it to the end! The idea for a knitting show would be great. Then you would taunt me with that awful concept of steeking. I know. I get it. But, it still scares me! I don't think even Carol could help me and if she couldn't, who could? I can't cut my own bangs. How am I going to cut the knitting that I worked so hard on and so carefully didn't drop a stitch....hack away....oh no oh no oh no no no!

[@carolalayne1555]

I thought the dress and hat combo were very Chanel!!

[@shirleymatlock]

Of course we watched to the end - your videos fly by - thank you 😊

[@carolalayne1555]

One more to go, and then maybe a few in the Summer with a special guest or two!

[@SueGriffiths-f6c]

Time just flew by, I sit & sew while I’m listening, thank you. X

[@carolalayne1555]

Really happy to read this, I often listen to videos while I work, helps to pace out the project!

[@published1789]

Oh heavens ... I love the chickens!!

[@sueroberts1264]

Re the sewing in a chain as per the semi final - could you sew a channel similarly to that for boneing? So enjoy your programs. Thank you

[@carolalayne1555]

Thank you, so glad you enjoy the programs! If I understand your question, the boning needs to be secured in a channel, where the chain is simply applied to a piece of fabric. Therefore, 2 different things are at play.

[@myrnaburgoyne2082]

Still watching right to the end … while sewing on a project. 😊

[@fanp1188]

Stuart's world of fabric skills...or something similar...

[@PracticalStitches]

Stuart I sent you something. I hope it doesn't take a month for it to arrive and you will be able to use it. 😊 carol thank you for answering my questions. I often like to change a sleeve and sometimes I think the sleeve looks odd when completed. I had an epiphany thinking maybe I should be raising the sleeve head. Maybe my pitch is wrong. Practice, practice. Yes to a masterclass in sleeve wrangling. I am looking forward to more info on the masterclass whenever it is available. Great show Stuart and Carol ❤ as always.

[@TheWoolpatch]

Oooo have you? Ooo exciting!! I'll keep an eye out this week now I'm back at the shop.

[@susanhemion2981]

Love love love the chickens. Could I do those if I don’t know how to knit? Or are they crocheted?

[@fanp1188]

Chevrons ,- those pleat things into the seam?

[@lpga8007]

Such an educational podcast, brilliant !

[@marieeaton-smith5168]

Wonderful show, thank you both so much.

[@fanp1188]

There was a tie challenge in a previous year..

[@fanp1188]

Is that called Stay Tape?

[@fanp1188]

More isn't always better....

[@fanp1188]

I thought that was a picture behind Carol for a minute

[@fanp1188]

Couldn't finish watching yesterday....

[@fanp1188]

So a bishops sleeve is a classical (Renaissance) baloon sleeve...

[@susanhemion2981]

What is the magic tape Carol talks about? This is great tip.

[@TheWoolpatch]

Our last demo of the series as next week we finish as always with a celebration of the 3 sewers and what they have made in the final. Enjoy the chat on Gussets and Bouclé / Tweed. It was a long one, so use the chapters to jump to bits you want to watch. I really enjoy these chats with Carol. Make sure you see her Tweed Jacket that she is creating! 31:08 - its AMAZING!!!

[@carolalayne1555]

Always terrific chatting with you, Stuart!

[@fanp1188]

Does the bouclé fabric need interfacing / interlining/ bondaweb to secure the warp and weft?

[@fanp1188]

Well that answers that question!!!

[@meggraham3670]

Hi from Ontario, Canada. Fyi about the ties mentioned. I watched Tomcat stitched on youtube. She made bias binding using Silk ties. Beautiful and frugal. Thought it was worth mentioning this. May help use your ties. Meg

[@meggraham3670]

Sorry tomcat stitchery. Meg

[@fanp1188]

Designing and n 3D....gusset

[@fanp1188]

So it's a one piece sleeve for the shirt?

[@fanp1188]

Fashion Icon or Fashion Houses ? My definition is different

[@fanp1188]

Again - Chanel or X for Chanel? Karl Largerfeld for Chanel - is that Chanel or House of Chanel?

[@fanp1188]

That collar could be a designer 's decision, to make the collar asymmetric....

[@fanp1188]

What's a bishops sleeve? Leg of mutton

[@fanp1188]

Eggs are required for the chickens...

[@fanp1188]

Easy make, but easy shows up errors more obviously

[@carolalayne1555]

Yes, exactly. The LBD is deceptive, there is nowhere to hide. I thought the bias cut dress was a wise choice, but there were several finishes that were not attractive in the final piece.

[@fanp1188]

@@carolalayne1555 I couldn't see them on my tv, but having made a Belville Sassoon evening dress, with faux fastening, triangle godet for part of the top and self lining, I can well imagine the poor stitching and finishing, and in that timeframe! Took me a week for my dress!

[@carolalayne1555]

@@fanp1188 the seamstress here is a very fine technician and I admire her work. She will finish first or second in the competition. However, the finish on the butterfly sleeves was not clean, and the upper bodice was not long enough to accommodate the bust, making the pleating at centre front above the bust and in the wrong position. In a made to measure competition, the judges should have caught this.

[@fanp1188]

Thank you ​@@carolalayne1555
