New makes including an easy bias cut skirt! | Sewing plans! | Crochet update! | A BIG CATCH UP

[@barbarawarner4645]

There is something incredibly luxurious about a bias cut garment. Same with a lined garnet. Stets your wardrobe aside from most home my garments. Lovely.

[@madebycathcraft]

Thank you very much, yes I agree, something about bias cut does make the fabric just feel so lovely.

[@marygreen7225]

Great video Cath, beautiful makes. Your crochet vest is going to be fabulous. Thank you very much.

[@madebycathcraft]

Thank you very much Mary 😊

Hi Cath Absolutely loved your bias skirt My daughter wore one when we went out for lunch last Sunday They are stunning Your crochet top is lovely As I was watching your video I was just finishing off my crochet blanket and its exactly the same as yours only grey with white and yellow I’ve made it to go in my orangery so pretty I’ve been really busy of late Cath so i apologise for not commenting on your videos but I have been watching them Have a great week xx❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@madebycathcraft]

Hi Paula Lovely to hear from you. No need to apologise, I’m you’ve still been watching 😊 Thanks I really enjoyed trying my first bias cut garment and finding it wasn’t as daunting as I thought it might be! A crochet blanket to go in your orangery sounds really nice, I love the sound of those colours together, lovely and fresh. Hope you have a great week too xx❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@paularoberts2129]

Thank you Cath I’m back on track now so hopefully all will be good xx❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@chlomo2618]

Lovely garments, Cath. It's always nice to see what you've been making. I really recommend the free Grasser 669 bias skirt for the next step up in your bias skirt making. You can make the version with just a single back seam, the elastic waistband finishing is neat, and the shape of the skirt is lovely.

[@madebycathcraft]

Thank you so much. That’s brilliant to know about the Grasser 669 thank you, it looks like a great next option and amazing that it’s free. Thank you!

[@maureencullen1008]

I didn't know a bias cut skirt could fall so beautifully I thought they were all very figure hugging.Loved all your makes and the check fabric is going to look fab.I love crochet and your top is lovely the colours are so soft and sit great together.

[@madebycathcraft]

I really like the more relaxed fit of the Clo bias skirt too. Thank you, I really enjoyed choosing colours for the crochet vest 😊

[@bridgetwhite5547]

Lovely video Cath. I think your bias cut skirt is lovely, kind of luxurious really. Your crochet is lovely. I like the advice about blocking the granny squares. Looking forward to the next video. Thank you 😊

[@madebycathcraft]

Thank you so much Bridget. Yes blocking the granny squares really made a big difference! Thanks I am really glad to have tried a bias cut garment finally 😊

[@susanthibodaux9242]

Love all your makes, Cath. I especially love how your crocheted vest is coming along. The colors you chose are so pretty.

[@madebycathcraft]

Thank you so much, I really enjoyed picking the colours for the vest 😊

[@shellyscott8275]

This was such an enjoyable video Cath. I love all your makes and what beautiful skirts you’ve made. The style and colour palette of the first one really suits you and I really love the style and fabric of your cross bias skirt. The drape is beautiful and looks equally beautiful on you. I’m looking forward to seeing how your blouse turns out and I always enjoy hearing about your knitting and crochet projects. I think with granny squares even if the fit is a little too snug it would be easy enough to remedy 😁 Have a lovely time with your friend this afternoon and a good week. Thanks for sharing 😊xx

[@madebycathcraft]

Thanks so much Shelly! I really enjoyed trying a bias cut garment and I’m glad to have that skirt in my wardrobe now, it does have a lovely drape. I’m so glad you enjoy hearing about my knitting and crochet projects too. I really hope the granny square vest does turn out ok, it’s been really fun so far. Hope you had a lovely weekend and a good week too 😊 xx

[@AngelaEvers-tj1dg]

Everything is super Cath. You are so clever. I love it al but the fabric for both skirts is just fabulous.

[@madebycathcraft]

Thank you very much 😊 I have really enjoyed making some midi skirts with nice prints.

[@patgriffiths4772]

Love your “zebra” skirt. Can’t wait to see your gingham dress. Xx

[@madebycathcraft]

Thank you very much xx

[@henriettejosephine]

I made a cardigan out of 78 granny squares. As Idid not like the look of crocheted ribbing I knitted the ribbing which looks very nice.

[@andrearyan816]

I was going to say the same, pick up stitches and knit the ribbing I think would work well.

[@madebycathcraft]

Thank you, I hadn’t considered that option, that sounds much easier than fitting the neckband separately!

[@Kakkydidit]

Great projects, Cath. Love you daisy granny squares. Hope you had a great day visiting and sewing with your friend. - Kelly

[@madebycathcraft]

Thank you so much Kelly 😊

[@nanrussell6423]

Your bias cut skirt turned out so nice. I was also concerned about the other bias cut skirt patterns being too tight, so I might try out the pattern you used. Your crocheted vest is so cute! I like the colors you chose. Thanks, Cath.

[@madebycathcraft]

Thank you very much. The Clo skirt is great if you’re looking for a bias cut skirt with a more relaxed fit. Thanks I really enjoyed choosing the yarn colours for the vest! 😊

[@angelalysandrou4830]

Love your bias cut skirt

[@madebycathcraft]

Thank you very much

[@CarolAReece-ii1ry]

Lovely video Cath, love your crochet project 😊

[@madebycathcraft]

Thank you so much 😊

[@montezbrown2461]

Love your vest! It’s going to be beautiful when finished.

[@madebycathcraft]

Thank you so much!

[@judithorr7580]

Love your skirt, you always look so nice in you midi length skirts and dresses.

[@madebycathcraft]

Thank you so much

[@user-mn7dw7wv8z]

Love the bias cut skirt. When I saw the lovely crochet bags you made for your daughter and niece I made the decision to learn to crochet, joined a class , attended with a friend bought a kit but unfortunately the class only ran once.😢 Looking out for an established class.

[@madebycathcraft]

Thank you very much, I am really pleased with how the bias cut skirt turned out. Oh no what a shame about the crochet class, I hope you can find another soon, it is a really fun and relaxing hobby I find.

[@TheFrenchSeams_vlog]

Love that crochet vest! It coming together besitifully’

[@madebycathcraft]

Thanks Rachael, it been so fun to crochet so far! 😊

[@lisajones4683]

Thanks for your video Cath. I love how much thought you put into your garments and how you explain your thought processes. I have started to stop and think more about my wardrobe too. I don’t know much about bias cut garments but I’m very intrigued now to investigate further. I was hoping to make a couple of summery skirts before we go on holiday so will look at the pattern you mention. Love all your other garments too, looking forward to seeing how the gingham top turns out.

[@madebycathcraft]

You’re very welcome, I’m so glad you enjoyed the video. Hope you are able to find time to make some summery skirts for your holiday 😊 I really enjoyed the Clo bias skirt pattern and would recommend it, perfect for a first go at sewing on the bias.

[@jtea6863]

Thanks for another inspiring video. The skirt and the tee look great on you..again the fit! The crochet vest made me smile .what is it about daises?? Looking forward to gingham .. Enjoy your sewing evening with your friend. What a nice project to work on. Enjoy your week Cath.

[@madebycathcraft]

Thank you very much! Yes the vest makes me smile too 😊 I’ve been having a lot of fun working on it. Thanks hope you have a great week too!

[@jennyturner6399]

Thanks for sharing Cath, your skirt is lovely. I made a toile of the SOI Selena skirt but struggled with attaching the elastic, the fabric was very slippery and difficult to control plus I probably should have sized down. Maybe I’ll have another try with a viscose or a crepe. 💙🧶🌈🍓

[@madebycathcraft]

Thanks so much Jenny. I haven’t come across the SOI Selena, I will look that one up. I think the viscose seemed to work well for a bias cut skirt, it wasn’t too slippery like I can imagine some fabrics might be 😊💜

[@india1422]

I've been out off bus-cut shirts because they ask seemed to be very close during in shiny fabrics. I like the one to have made

[@madebycathcraft]

Yes I liked that this one isn’t super fitted, it feels a bit more casual to wear

[@india1422]

I'm wary of pud Steve's. Teens to make me look like an American football player. When the Sagebrush blouse came out i made that on a lovely viscose so the sleeves were more understated

[@madebycathcraft]

I prefer puff sleeves in a drapier fabric too 😊

[@pamelarobertson3708]

The Sewing Club Podcast review the Clo skirt and provide a discount code for the pattern 😊

[@madebycathcraft]

Ooh thank you that’s good to know!

[@india1422]

I made a Zoey in a Meet Milk stripey rib

[@madebycathcraft]

That sounds lovely!

[@nataliestanchevski4628]

[@madebycathcraft]

😊❤️

[@janspenno2241]

I made the Blomma tank twice and one was too thick even for a rib. The other was softer and it was so successful. From memory I had to change the armhole slightly I’ve been wearing midi skirts this summer, even one I thought I didn’t like and subsequently made two more midi skirts. One of the skirts is leopard print and I’m really not sure I’ll wear it but also I think it’s not seasonal, more autumn colours we will see

[@janspenno2241]

I have the Fleur pattern but have yet to make it as I’ve been busy. I like the fact that it comes equipped with a different bodice for the sleeved and the sleeveless variation. That’s very thoughtful. Looking forward to seeing yours. I would love to learn to crochet but I just don’t seem to get it. It’s which stitch to go into next. I’m sure it’s easy when you get your head round it but there’s something I’m missing.

[@madebycathcraft]

I think the Blomma is really nice in a soft fabric! A leopard print midi skirt sounds great for autumn. Yes I really like that two bodices have been drafted for the Fleur tool. Very thoughtful like you say. I still find that the hardest part for crochet, knowing which stitch to work into. I’m gradually getting my head around it.

[@india1422]

I always feel like sewing black is a bit of a punishment. No idea why!

[@madebycathcraft]

It’s hard to see the stitches isn’t it!

[@india1422]

Cath, what is the name of the sewing pattern company you use for dresses etc for your daughter?

[@madebycathcraft]

I have recently used the ABB kids tee free pattern then added on a gathered skirt to make my daughter dresses. When she was smaller I liked Poppy and Jazz patterns but they only go up to 6.
