[@lydiadossantos9099]

Congratulations 🎉 you're a genius. Love all your makes. Your a very brave women with the snake around your neck 😊 enjoy your vacation and can't wait to see your pictures ❤

[@socarole66]

Thank you so much! I can't believe my numbers are still increasing 🥰. I didn't have much choice about the snake but I'm glad I did it, the boys won't forget it 😂. Let's see if the sun lounger pockets work, I'll let you know! Have a good weekend 🧵😊

[@stephaniecruz8260]

Congratulations on 6k mark, Carole you clever girl. Those chair caddies are pure genius 😊

[@socarole66]

Thanks very much Stephanie! Time will tell if the chair caddies work (love the name by the way!). I'll report back in a couple of weeks. Have a good weekend 🧵😊

[@tinawilson5020]

Hello Carole, first of all Congratulations on your subscriber count, way to go! 👏👏. You made some cute pajamas, l have both of those patterns and planning on making the one with the loose yellow ones! I also like the crafty projects you made as well 💕. I am hoping you and your husband have a safe and happy holiday! I really enjoy watching your videos, never boring always interesting and encouraging. Thank You Carole 💕🤗🌹

[@socarole66]

Thank you so much, I was so happy to reach that milestone 😁. I loved those PJ bottoms so I really must give the top a go, I was just scared it would be too drapey for bedtime! I really appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment. Hope you have a good weekend and week ahead, do lots of sewing! 🧵😉

[@Silver_Threads_Sewing]

Hi Carole. I love the pajamas. The lounge pockets are awesome. Not only are you a wonderful sewist…. But you’re an inventor too. I think the pockets are genius. Yikes! On the 🐍 Have a wonderful and safe holiday. ❤ Diann

[@socarole66]

Hi Diann. Thanks so much for your kind comments. Let's see how my invention works this week! I have my harshest critic testing them as well 😂. If I lived with snakes in a garden as you probably do I would probably feel different about them but this was this man's pet, somehow that felt safer 😂🐍. Hope you are well and life is improving in your area. Its Spains turn now, have you seen all the flooding? It's terrible, so many lives lost there. I may moan about England but we don't tend to suffer like other countries. Take care and have a good week 💕🍓💕

[@sarahinglis1791]

Your sunlounger organiser is genius. I look forward to hearing how it worked out on your holidays. Congratulations on 6k subscribers! And have a great holiday.

[@socarole66]

Thank you so much Sarah. I do hope the sun lounger pouches work, I'll be testing them this week! I'm so excited to reach another milestone on my channel, I so appreciate your comments, thank you 🧵😊

[@kathymcconville6428]

That's great that you increased your subscribers. Congratulations! You always have interesting twists to the things you make and I enjoy hearing your thought process. I'm also here for the pattern reviews because I mainly use big 4 patterns. Love the very cleaver sun lounger accessory. All great makes. The illuminated forest was amazing! Have a wonderful, restful trip.

[@socarole66]

Thanks so much Kathy, I love it that my channel is still growing, it means people aren't bored of my waffling! Big 4 reviews are getting less and less online aren't they, I miss VivMom with her monthly makes, I used to rely on that! Day one of the sun lounger pockets has been a great success 👏🏼. Thanks for watching and your lovely comments 🧵😊

[@stitchersdelight]

What a great idea for a lounge caddy. The PJ's look so cozy, have a wonderful holiday !

[@socarole66]

Thank you, I am really hoping those caddies work in practice, time will tell! Have a wonderful week and do lots of sewing for me. 🧵😊

[@dizzyquiltsandsews]

Love the PJs!! You are so clever making that sunbed caddy - how cool is that! I’m so glad you enjoyed the sewcial you went to. You were incredibly productive there! The round towels are so pretty. Hope you have a fabulous holiday! Xx 💞

[@socarole66]

Thank you so much! Time will tell how clever that caddy is and if it just falls on the floor and gets wet 😆. I did love the sewcial but if you spotted the photos on Instagram I just looked serious and miserable! I have booked on for December so excited for that. I am just so happy to have found somewhere local and I couldn't believe a couple of my viewers were there that I didn't know lived locally! Have a good weekend too xxx💗

[@BYBabbra]

Hi Carole, nice PJs they look really comfy. The lounger accessory pockets are very good, love the little clip in your garden showing it's use. With our lovely English weather it did make me chuckle but a great idea for when in sunnier climates. Enjoy your holiday ☺

[@socarole66]

Thanks Babbra! I didn't feel it was the weather for going out in swimwear in the garden 🤣. Do you know, I don't think we used those sun loungers at all this year! I'm looking forward to road testing those this week and Chris is a harsh critic so we shall see what he thinks. Have a good weekend and week ahead, do lots of sewing as I won't be able to! 🧵😊

[@carolgardiner7983]

Very cute pajamas. And your circle towel is quite interesting. Haven't seen one of those before watching your vlogs. What a great idea to make yourself a lounger pouch. I think it is so much fun to come up with ideas to solve a problem, especially when I'm successful. I love the pictures at the end. Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful vacation.

[@socarole66]

I do like that PJ pattern Carol and Trish has told me she really got on well with it so I must do the top now. I'm hoping the lounger pouch will work and it will get a lot of testing next week! It is fun finding solutions isn't it. Glad you enjoyed the video and photos, have a great weekend and thanks for watching 🧵😊

[@annerobinson647]

Lovely videos Carole. Those caddies are brilliant would be great for beach, camping etc. enjoy your holiday

[@socarole66]

Hi Anne! Thank you so much, I'm hoping those caddies work as yes, I can see so many uses for them and adding zip pockets etc or more pockets! Have a good week 🧵😊

[@SeamsLikeAGoodIdea]

You should have been an actress! I would have looked petrified with that snake around my neck!! I love when you invent things; the sunchair pockets are fab! Have a great vacation!

[@socarole66]

Ha ha perhaps I missed my vocation in life 😂. The man was so scary to be honest I didn't want to show fear to him... or the snake! Thanks so much for your holiday wishes and kind comments on my makes. 🧵😊

[@theresawagner2642]

Your invention is brilliant as are you Carole! Have a lovely Holiday! 🥰

[@socarole66]

Oh my word, you are too kind Theresa! Lets see first how I get on next week with the pockets 😂. Have a wonderful weekend 🧵😊

[@MaryCunningham-u5j]

I would have jumped up screaming and shaking and the snake would have fallen off me! Can't tell from the photo what you were thinking - I do have to say, the colors of the snake were somewhat pretty, I'll give it that. The lounge caddy is a great idea, particularly the waterproofing part, and the PJs are cute. I had never seen a round kitchen towel but why not? Have a wonderful, safe and happy vacay!

[@socarole66]

Ha ha that's funny Mary! If you had seen the snake owner you would have probably stuck it out like me, I think he was more terrifying than the snake 😂. What I was thinking was.. how long will this torture go on?! Thanks so much for your kindness on my makes and hope you have a good week ahead with lots of sewing. 🧵🥰

[@ZeldaSews]

That's how might be a European thing cuz I've never seen it here, but I do like the idea of it.❤ Congratulations on reaching 6K now! I am so excited for you! Enjoy your vacation,... holiday!

[@socarole66]

It must be a French and Spanish thing because hardly anyone had seen them, I just didn't realise! They really are good though and can't believe it took me so long to copy! Thanks for the holiday wishes 🧵😊

[@Lindam47]

Congratulations on your 6000 subscribers, well deserved. I think I would have freaked out over that snake 😢😢. Have a great holiday.

[@socarole66]

Oh thank you so much. I am so excited to have reached another milestone 😁. Re the snake, inwardly I was freaking out believe me and even when I filmed this video hours later I don't think I was over it 😂🐍. Have a wonderful week and thanks for watching. 🧵😊

[@ebudny7]

Hahaha! Good story! Such wonderful memories you are making for your grandsons. Beautiful mushrooms. I enjoyed the photos. Love your channel!

Beautiful photos. You do put a smile on my face. Towels a great Christmas present all round. Thanks for the inspiration!!❤❤

Aww thanks Anne. I am so glad you still enjoy my videos. I don't know why I hadn't thought of copying those towels before, now everyone will get one 😂. Have a great weekend and thanks for watching 🧵😊

[@peggyn5466]

Carole, you are braver than I! No snakes for me. Enjoy your holiday!

[@socarole66]

Ha ha I didn't have much of a choice 😂. Thanks for watching and the holiday wishes 🧵😊

[@AndraMakes]

I’ve made that Simplicity PJ bottoms pattern, but, used “non PJ” fabric, and wear them out and about as joggers! I didn’t do the patch pocket. Love the sun lounger pockets! It works for a couch and/or chair arm, also. I love the practical projects you made this week! You already know how I feel about the snake! 😂🙅🏻‍♀️ I hope you have a wonderful holiday! 😘💗

[@socarole66]

That PJ bottom shape is really nice isn't it? I made the other pattern as Joggers so I can see how that would work for this one. Now I need to try the top! If this lounger caddy works there are so many things it could develop into, I know people make them for kids beds don't they. Aww that snake, I'm so glad in a way I braved it and the boys won't forget it I'm sure. 🐍. Thanks for watching and enjoy your weekend xxx💕

Hi Carole! Your PJs look very nice!❤ You book a hat looks cute. I love your eyeglass cases! The ones I may eat this year are a little bit smaller because the ones I made last year were a little bigger. Thanks for the shout out.

[@socarole66]

Thanks Zelda. The funny thing is, as I was packing for my holiday I came across a bought case that would be the perfect shape to copy! Now I know what size to do the next ones 😂.

[@loribarton7480]

Love your pj’s. I think the pocket would be cute on the pj top.

[@socarole66]

Thanks Lori, of course a pocket would have worked on the top instead wouldn't it 😂. I didn't think of that! Have a great week 🧵😊

[@SewYourselfaCapsuleWardrobe]

I love all of your makes this week especially your sun lounger accessories, you've been so busy! In contrast I've made absolutely nothing for myself this week so I'm sewing this weekend haha Congratulations on reaching 6k subscribers! Xx

[@socarole66]

Hi Deb. Thanks so much for your comments. Don't worry, I won't be making anything in the next week either 😂. I can't wait to test out my sun lounger invention! Have a great weekend and thanks for your wishes. 🧵😊

[@sewlovelywithgrace]

Carole, I love the side tie detail on your top! I hope to make some dresses and tops with that tie detail in the future. Nice design. CONGRATULATIONS ON 6K subs!! 🥳🎉 AWESOME! Your PJs are cute. The yellow cuffs are perfect. I love your little velcro side book holders! Very cute and clever! Now those would be a fantastic Christmas gift. Your bucket hat is cute. I don't wear hats. My hair is too thick! Another cute zip bag. Your glass cases are so cute! I make them on the serger. And the jewelry pouch is beautiful. These are all wonderful gifts. Thanks for some fantastic ideas. My absolute favorite seam ripper is the Clover. I'm too lazy to sharpen it! 🤣🤣I will always buy a new one if needed. I love your towels. Embroidery to the rescue!! Very nice daisy bag. Your grey Tee is beautiful. I'm soooo interested in the Artspira App!!!!!! YES!! I can't wait. Snake and lizard Carole!!! OMG!!! NO NO NO! I could not do it. You are AMAZING!! 💖💖

[@socarole66]

Aww thanks so much Grace for all your lovely comments on my makes this week. I am hoping those chair pockets work and they will certainly be tested this week 👏🏼. I will have my harshest critic testing them as well 😉. I will report back in a couple of weeks and if it works then everyone will get one for Christmas.... as well as the round towels 😂😂. Hope you enjoy the Artspira video, you probably know all about it and there is a reason I use it more now, all will be revealed! Have a super weekend and thanks again my friend 💕😘😘

[@annettecowburn-sz8cq]

Carole that sunlounger accessory is a great idea! My granddaughter has a snake but I haven't held it yet, and hers is tiny compared to the one you had draped in you. Have a great holiday.

[@socarole66]

Hi Annette, thanks so much for your kindness. I had to read your comment a few time before it sunk in... your grand daughter has a snake?! Please let me know if you do hold it! To be honest a big slow moving snake is probably better than a small snake to hold so good luck. Have a great weekend 🧵😊

[@kacoa532]

Hello Carole, I really like your lounge chair pockets. Maybe putting the Velcro strips the other direction would use less strips and be even more adjustable. Great pjs as well, thanks for sharing .

[@socarole66]

Thanks so much for that suggestion. You had me thinking about the Velcro but I got away with one looped piece and I don’t think you could do that if you did it longways. It would have to be more than one looped strip to be as secure as it is. What I don’t want to happen is for it to fall on a wet floor. I did several strips to be on the safe side but I probably didn’t need to, a bit overkill perhaps! Thanks for the suggestion though as I love rethinking things 😁. 🧵

[@ZeldaSews]

I think your jewelry pouch is cute. I don't wear that much but I know others who do.

[@socarole66]

Thanks Zelda, I have a few bits of jewellery but tend to wear the same pieces all the time 😂. Great for dice though or special marbles?!

[@pinkysfarm461]

Ive made that pajama pattern and love it. Yoir invention is so CLEVER! What a great idea! I love all your variety of little makes. Youve been a busy bee!!! OMG that snake around your neck!! You are so brave! Love pigs in the pics and love you!!!❤

[@socarole66]

Oh my word yes!! I remember you making that pattern now. Did you make the top? It scared me that it was basically a square 😂. We will see how clever my invention is next week, I have a tough critic with me though! I thought you would like the pigs and did you know about Pannage season? The 'commoners' as they call it let their pigs out in the New Forest to eat up all the acorns etc as they are dangerous to the wild ponies and cattle. It dates back to 1079 would you believe! I just thought they were cute and so many varieties. Hope you have a good weekend and love you toooo 😘💗😘

[@LovingHandsDesign]

I have the simplicity 9020 and have been wanting to sew the shorts and tee shirt for summer. I love the long pj bottoms and will definitely do them now too, but I bought some gauze fabric from Hobby Lobby to do the shorts and top. I, too, saw the top was a fabric hog, but that’s what I wanted for summer; something loose and comfortable. Thanks for sharing this pattern. I’m excited again about sewing it. Love your project, how clever 😊. I have a kindle too, and I’ll be watching for your full road test

[@socarole66]

Thanks so much for watching. I did like the look of the top but when I saw it was almost a square I chickened out. I will make it though but in a different fabric as I think it would make a nice cool T shirt. Let me know if you make it first and how you got on! I will certainly report back on the pockets, lets see if they need any design changes. Have a wonderful weekend oh and, a good old book for me, I can't get on with a kindle! 🧵😊

[@sbrickett]

Hi, Carole! You are so brave, I would never be that close to any snake! I freak out when I have one in the chicken house, although I know it is not poisonous! That other thing looks dangerous and spickey. I just admire the way you figure out a problem, you must like puzzles and mysteries, me too. Your pjs look comfy, good to know about that pattern. This week I have been working on learning to use the Lutterloh system, it’s a little fussy, but I think I have now. I need to read directions much better. I will be sewing the vest from the leaflet that came with it. So far I think it was $60 well spent. Have a great trip, have fun and relax.😊

[@socarole66]

Thanks Sue, I am not sure I was brave or just plain stupid 😂🐍. When we moved into our house there was a nest of Grass Snakes but in our country, we don't have much to fear do we, not like yours! As you say, I do love a puzzle and working things out but I am guessing I get that from my Father. Funny you should say about Lutterloh as I drew out a pattern yesterday to be completed when I get back. I am getting quicker and quicker now but still sticking to simpler designs. Good luck with the vest, I will admit I didn't make that but then I inherited my Mum's old system so didn't know about it. I just barged on in and made a top 😆. Hope you have a good weekend and week ahead and yes, I want to do a lot of relaxing if my body lets me and doesn't want to jump up and start going for walks! 🧵😊

[@brenholmes4894]

I do like a label on the back of my trousers, but I put it on the outside, that way it isn't scratchy. I wear my tops quite long, never tuck them in, so it works for me. I have Adam's Trio of Pouches cut out and ready to sew using scraps of a pre-quilted fabric, I plan to get them sewed up next week. Lots of great makes in the vlog this week. Happy holidays.

[@socarole66]

A label on the back?! That is a genius idea and like you say, we never tuck anything in anymore so that works a treat! Thanks for that idea. Adams pouches are such fun to make and I've quilted fabric before for them and they look even better. Have fun sewing them! Thanks so much for watching and have a good weekend. 🧵🧵

Great idea 😊

The lounge chair pockets are a terrific idea. We use camp cots when tenting and I think I'll make a couple for those. You sure had a big smile on for your snake picture. Not sure I would have looked so happy 😅

[@socarole66]

Thank you Nancy. I am really hoping those pockets will be a success, I will let you know as to be honest they have multiple possibilities, camp cots being one of them! I did have a smile on my face didn't I, not sure why at all 😂🐍. Thanks for watching 🧵😊

[@DebsWay]

Congratulations on going over 6K subscribers!! I would love to get 2K myself; guess I should make some more videos, huh? LOLOLOL... The only sewing I seem to get done lately is strictly during sewing class time at The Sewing Studio. I am still working on a button-front blouse, slow but sure. Slow is my speed these days it seems, but that's ok. Have a great vacation!!

[@socarole66]

Ha ha yes Deb, we would love to see more videos from you!! I miss Tea Tuesdays as well. I loved hearing about your shopping trips etc and seeing the odd footage. I am so glad you are still attending the Sewing Studio classes, how I wish I could join you one day. Slow is good, it means your quality of sewing is probably way higher than mine. Thanks for your holiday wishes, I am guessing the Canary Islands isn't somewhere you ever visited? It is very pretty yet quite volcanic. Have a good weekend 🧵😊xxx

[@DebsWay]

Oh, attending a class with you at Sewing Studio would be so much fun! The main class I take is called Basic Sewing 4 which is like an intermediate type of class where we all work on whatever project we want to and then we get help from an instructor if and when needed. We have a lot of fun! And I also take a lot of the other classes offered, too. Next month, I'm taking a Christmas stocking class where I'll make a special stocking for Bella. I would love to embroider her name on it, too, but we'll see about that. Maybe I can get one of the machine sales ladies to use one of the embroidery machines on the floor to do it for me. Noooooo, I have not been to the Canary Islands. LOLOLOL...But although I've never had a snake around my neck, I have held an alligator. Ok, it was just a baby one and the mouth was taped shut so no harm!! LOLOLOL...

Hi Carole!!! I’m sorry to hear about your sewing machine but thank you for the tip about the needle threader!! You really are a creative inventor-that book pouch is fantastic! ❤ The pajamas/pajamas are so pretty and look so cozy, all of your makes are awesome!!❤ Oh my! That 🐍 snake is huge and I know that kind is harmless but I don’t know how brave I would have been 🥹 Congratulations on 6k, and thank you so much for sharing your sewing fun with us! Have a great Holiday! Xx❤❤❤

Hi Mary, I was so sad to let my machine go but to be honest I have only had it a year and I have had a lot of problems with it so it does need to be looked at. I do love having new pyjamas, not sure why but I get so excited for bedtime when I make some! That snake was big but actually quite warm so it was nice and cosy 🐍🥰. So onto my holiday, lets see how the book pouches work out! You never know I may get some orders 😂. Have a super weekend and 'see' you in a couple of weeks. xx💗

My ideas tend to come in groups (herds? flocks? traffic jams?!) which can be distracting when I'm trying to get something sewn. I've set up an 'album' in my gallery for ideas, and can now take a picture of the fabrics with the pattern, then put the whole thing back away. I've been able to move through projects more efficiently now 😘

I really enjoyed the discussion about your pajama pants because I've made S9020 three times but was just looking at S9337 because I'd like the big front pockets. I didn't think about the other fit differences so that was helpful. Maybe I'll just put bigger pockets on my usual pattern.

[@socarole66]

Thanks so much for your comment. Yes! Adding those bigger pockets to the 9020 would make the perfect pyjama pants, great idea. I do like the 9337 pattern and have about 6 pairs but I do have slightly bigger calves so 9020 felt more comfortable. Good luck 🧵😊

[@ritaadler-everett5392]

Pjs and t-shirts and new inventions and snakes, oh my! You've been a busy girl Carole. I love the lounge caddy and will shamelessly copy you next summer if that's ok! I am always at a loss for where to safely put my 'stuff'. I've never seen the circle towels in the US either. But they are so cute. I have a challenge for you - next time you should make your own sewing machine carrying case. Start out with a smaller one to carry your iron in then work up! By Annie Patterns released a pattern this month for an iron carrying case. It's adorable and very practical. Have a wonderful, relaxing vacation!

[@socarole66]

Thanks so much Rita! There will be nothing to report on my next Friday Sews I bet, except the report on the sun lounger pockets! Do you know, I keep shying away from making a sewing machine carrier. The first thing I should really make is covers for my Overlockers and Coverstitch machines as they get so dusty. Adam Sews made me a lovely bag for my Iron so I am ok there (great excuse 😂). Maybe a carrier for my Overlocker at some point?!?! Have a great weekend and 'see' you when I get back. 🧵😊

Oh gosh yes I did! I'm not that lazy 😂. I do have various eyesight issues though and have had since I was a child so it isn't the easiest thing for me to do. I just wanted to make people aware that it was easily solved and they didn't have to pay for repairs etc. Have a good weekend 🧵😊
