Happy June!
Things didn’t go according to plan towards the end of the month with my knitted Boardwalk Blouse, I hope it is fixable!

Hi Eva! This was such an enjoyable video! I could easily watch 40-60 minutes of you whenever you've a mind to share! 🥰 Your knitting and sewing projects are all so beautiful. I love your choice of fabrics. Congratulations on such a great start for your shop. Tell Cocoa and Flora they did a marvelous job. 😘

Aw the packing stickers are brilliant! Love your tunic dress :) I love a longer video - I love to settle down to have a good craft and watch my fav podcasts - so 40 minute + is always good for me! xx

Love your tunic top - and the fabric is so pretty! It will be fun to follow who gets "Employee of the Month", as well! I so enjoy watching all your creative making, so would happily sit for 45-60 minutes if you have that much to share.

Hi Eva lovely to see you and your gorgeous makes x I have that pattern for the apron and haven’t made it yet it’s so nice to see it in pretty fabric thank you x 😊 I like the longer the better podcasts x 😁

Hi, Eva! I was watching Ali over at Little Drops of Wonderful and she said your podcast and little store opening video were wonderful, so I’ve just finished watching both! She was right, I enjoyed both! Coco and Flora are almost too adorable. I found myself really feeling for Flora trying to move her dresser all alone. ☺️ To answer your question, I prefer hour long podcasts. Something I’d love to see are what the bags you sell look like and even the making process of your bags. Nice to meet you, btw, and such beautiful fabrics for your upcoming bags! I especially love the green that matches your overalls and the yellow fabric!

Hi Eva what a lovely podcast. I love watching 40 mins and longer podcasts. Honestly though I'm happy with whatever you can do as I just love to watch your podcasts long or short. xxx

Thank you so much, that’s very kind-and great to know!x

Hello Eva, thank you for another lovely podcast. I love a longer video but if you are happy to make one (whatever the length) I’m happy to watch ☺️ Who knew that frogs would be so competitive?! 🐸🐸🐸

[@cocoandflora6542]

Thanks Sarah! That is great to know, I think knitting and longer videos are a perfect match🙂🐸

Hi Eva. Happy 50th birthday. Love your apron. Congratulations on re-opening your shop. I noticed your bias binding maker machine. Would you recommend? I make mine but that machine looks amazing. I’d watch any length video from you 😊

[@cocoandflora6542]

@@yarnmugspodcast9123 thanks Sarah! I really love my machine, I would say I bought it because I was making it to sell in larger quantities and for smaller quantities the little manual metal things are just as good, but it works great and is a lot of fun! This particular model was discontinued and I could never find the extra different sizes of metal things, but I see they have another model out now, it’s by simplicity xx

Hi Eva, such an enjoyable podcast. Your tee came out so nice in those colors. My eyes have done the same thing at times while reading directions that I have highlighted. Is it possible to try and reshape it by blocking again before you end up taking it all out? I loved your Studio Tunic in that fabric. Nice to see you’ve had some time to sew. I’ve been sewing smaller items and hope to do a few tops or dresses soon. Pretty minis from Giddy Yarns. What fun to have an Employee of the month challenge. It should be fun. I enjoy longer podcasts too, but it’s always a pleasure to see your podcasts no matter the length. Your strawberry cake looked delicious!

[@cocoandflora6542]

Thank you♥️I will give re blocking a go it would be lovely not to have to unravel it! I’m trying to sew a bit more, there is so much I’d like to make! Happy sewing xxxx

[@epiphany8276]

I like a longer vlog between 40 mins to an hour but sometimes I choose my viewing by the amount of time I have to view which how ai came to click here today!

[@cocoandflora6542]

@@epiphany8276 I do the same🙂thanks for watching!

[@julie1807]

I don’t really have a length of blog preference. I have trouble getting to watch an entire video if it is much longer than an hour however. I’m getting ready to make a Studio Tunic, so was quite interested to hear your opinions. Yours turned out lovely.

[@cocoandflora6542]

That’s great to know thank you🙂I really enjoyed the tunic it is a fun make, happy sewing!

[@cocoandflora6542]

@@ericallerton809 thanks so much Elaine, I think I will try blocking again xx

[@judithbuist164]

Hi Eva, Your striped tee looks lovely on you. I'd try reblocking those armholes initially then if that doesn't work try picking up the correct number of stitches from the existing cast off edge then, without working any rows, cast off. If it doesn't correct the problem it would be easy to pull out. Good luck. Your manner is so calm and friendly I could easily watch your video for 40 to 60 minutes. Judy, Nelson Bay, Australia.

[@cocoandflora6542]

Thank you so much Judy🤗🤗that is a great tip I would never have thought of! I will give it a go if blocking doesn’t fix it xx

[@lesleyoliver3310]

I read that if you simply soak the wool (just warm water no soap) then re-condition the garment the fibre should relax enough to reshape. Haven’t tried this yet but perhaps look into this further. Good luck. 🦘🐨👋🏻

Thank you! I will give it a go🙂🙂
