[@sosewmad]

lol thank you, it’s so lovely to have your support, I really appreciate it xx

[@GoingGreenMom]

​@@sosewmad lol, it made sense to my 20 year old high school French hearing. 😂 but I'm with Cindy, if you don't speak French, why should it be expected for you be able to pronounce the French correctly? Probably way better than most American creators.... even if we did take French in school way back when.

[@janspenno2241]

Marvellous to hear you are through that Cara. So pleased. X

[@laurajones4088]

I’m very happy to hear your the surgery went well and that you’re in the clear. Lovely to see your Maison Fauve makes in more detail and your precious fabric makes, too. Hurricane Helene hit Horseshoe Beach Thursday.The amount of damage is utterly staggering. Fortunately, our family vacation home wasn’t destroyed, but did sustain major damage. Haven’t been sewing much for a few days, but am ready to get back to it. Happy sewing, Cara.

[@sosewmad]

Gosh Laura I hope you and yours are ok, wow, nature, it’s so unpredictable isn’t it. Puts everything else into perspective really. I hope you’re ok, I’m thinking of all those affected x

[@Veemerica]

So happy all is well. What a beautiful job they did, the scar is already hardly visible. Please share your life as you see fit, I love hearing about it. All of it makes you the sewist you are so never feel like you shouldn't share about it.

Very happy to hear your good health news. Regarding fear of sewing into the good stuff etc... I'm a bit like that but lately I kept telling myself it's only fabric!! And seriously, the shops will never run out of beautiful fabric for us to try!

[@sosewmad]

Love this, it’s so funny why we do that to ourselves 😅 I love to think of how amazing beautiful fabric is to wear, then I just go for it ❤️

Greetings from Atlanta! 🇺🇸 So wonderful to hear your good news! I was blessed with early detection breast cancer last year and I can certainly empathize with your relief and joy! I see your serger sitting behind you. I have spent the week tackling my machine and am thrilled with the rolled hem. I would love to see some of your serging. ❤️❤️❤️

[@sosewmad]

Thank you so much Kasey, I’m delighted about your news too. I love my serger, use it all the time! I’ll try and add more footage of that, rolled hems are awesome aren’t they!

[@clairerosey9921]

Hi Cara, And still you come up smiling! I’m so glad that everything turned out positively for you and now you can put it all behind you, fully rested. Please don’t let people correcting you make you doubt yourself, I work on a hospital switchboard and some of the names that come up look like the opening letters in a game of scrabble! Apparently if you say the name with confidence people tend not to question it 🤣. It’s just some peoples nature to ‘help’ and it’s about them! I always feel awkward saying Scone as I say it as in ‘Stone’ yet it seems more popular to say it as in ‘One’… but I feel silly when I say it like that… well, who cares really 🤷🏻‍♀️. I would love for you to show us some of your favourite little details that you’ve come across in the various designer patterns you’ve used and show how they are created so that we could add them into other designs to personalise our style and take us to the next level. Like adding a puffed sleeve eg, colour blocking, adding a shelf bra etc. I’m personally interested in how we can use certain style lines to hide out least favourite giggly bits (thank you Bridget Jones 🤣), and how to choose the patterns to create a bespoke outfit, choosing the right cut for the different layers. Hopefully something in there will spark some interest for you, maybe you could ask for some tips from your designer friends? Looking forward to seeing your next vlog already xx

[@sosewmad]

Thank you so much, your words of encouragement mean the world to me, that’s so lovely. Gosh some wonderful ideas there, let me give that some thought and see what I can come up with, that’s really amazing of you. I hope you’ve got some sewing planned too? Thanks again x

[@ritaadler-everett5392]

Lovely Cara, I am absolutely thrilled about your clean bill of health! What a weight off your shoulders. I am back in NY but sewing will have to wait a bit longer! Having left my husband, daughter and dog alone for 3+ weeks, our house is a bit chaotic! 🙃 I did manage to sneak in a bit of tailoring and alteration sewing for one of my sisters and it made me so ridiculously happy, she laughed at me. After seeing your makes up close, I do already have plans in my head for a couple of the new Maison Fauve collection pieces and fabrics. My goal for the colder months is to make more coordinating, comfortable and stylish stay-at-home clothes. I wouldn't worry about mispronouncing words from another language either. We do our best and believe me, other countries mispronounce English words just as much. You're a fabulous ambassador for Maison Fauve and they don't seem to mind how you pronounce their products. Happy recovery, happy sewing, happy life! 💛💐

[@sosewmad]

You really are amazing Rita! I bet your sister was delighted to have her own personal seamstress ❤️ Gosh your trip sounds absolutely amazing, but I can only imagine what you came home to! Lots of plans ahead, I love the change of seasons, and as a fellow MF super fan I know you’ll have some ideas . Which of the new collection do you favour? Thank you so much for buying me a Kofi today I genuinely will imagine being with you catching up on our adventures. Hopefully our paths will cross next year!

[@ritaadler-everett5392]

@@sosewmad Oh my gosh, you are so nice Cara. It is my pleasure to support you. I get so much out of our chats and your videos, and your positivity! Yes, my sister was funny. She asked me to shorten a new shirt, then she brought out a pair of jeans, and so it went. I still have a long list of things that need attending at home, but when I have a min I want to get the Déferlante Blouse and the Récif Pants. I love your blouse using the red MF lace fabric. I hope you won't mind, but I'm totally copying you. I'm too short to have the wide bottoms on the legs, so will bring them in a bit and maybe lengthening them since we are heading into colder months. I've already given my husband a heads up that when we come to the UK in March, I will figure out a way for you and I to hopefully meet, somewhere between Birmingham and London. ☺

[@sosewmad]

We definitely can meet somewhere! I am super tempted to come up to Birmingham, I know you’d like to go to g&g that would be amazing fun! I have a wonderful vision of your sister handing you items first adjustment out of her wardrobe 😅 how lucky is she to have you in her life, just wonderful. Love the sounds of your MF plans, I hope you get to some sewing soon!

[@annsheldrake3554]
