Kia ora! I'm currently trying to finish some adhd-stalled projects before the weekend. Would you maybe be able to let us know what brand/thickness of embroidery thread that is? Or even an Amazon link in your details to it if you have time? Thanks so much for these videos, they're so great!!

youll find all my projects on my channel - just started another kawandi freestyle quilt - thats so much fun!

My life just came full circle because Vancouver sleep clinic was something I listened to every day. Been watching your videos for the past couple weeks and what a wild connection!

Carly before you start your bigger hand sewing project, get yourself a leather thimble. They are comfortable and they mold to your finger over time. You could honestly make one for yourself if you got a scrap of soft leather. Just make sure you are covering your “pusher” finger to protect it from the needle. Loved your hoodie. So thoughtful. I bet it’s going to be comfortable as hell once he breaks it in a bit. Who doesn’t want to be wrapped in a hand stitched quilt all day!?!

I swear, Carly is the most refreshing person to watch

i love hand sewing in front of the tv, with my adhd its a much better alternative then playing on my phone and watching tv.

WHY IS IT SO ENJOYABLE?!! I understand!!

I've listened to your brother's music for years now! What a world... Curious to know his reaction to this amazing gift. Loved the colors and the technique. I am still gathering the courage (and money) to buy a machine and start sewing... Always glad to see your makings.

I am a 50yo sewist who loves your videos! So wish they had been around when I was younger, I would have been so inspired! Also using a thimble will make a huge difference to protecting your fingers when quilting - they are a game changer!!

Hello! experienced tailor here. genuinely OBSESSED with your own thought process and method, i must say first. honestly take a pic of it so u don't forget that because that more stylized approach is sick. ok now i do want to actually help u so you also have the other way of doin it, added to ur roster of seam finishing's. for 100 percent secureness, sew the bias tape right sides together with the seam allowance. then turn the bias tape over and under the seam when pressed flat. then sew in the ditch so that the stitch line is hidden. the second way is more like u guessed! simply sandwich the seam allowance between the bias tape and sew away! Personally i find this way harder cuz u gotta be good at aligning the bias perfectly and a lot of times u gotta go back and re-stitch shit. not my favorite.

I hope we get to see your brother loving wearing his hoody!!!

Oh my goodness, I love your brother’s music! I listen to someone to stay on repeat constantly

Its so beautiful, you are so talented. There is no right or wrong way to finish patchwork, I really like what you did it added a lot of charm to your work. Very insprational.

It turned out really well! I hope he loves it. 😁 Steph

I ADORE that hoodie you made for your brother. Such a thoughtful gift, he must be thrilled! When you talkad about letting the fabric ”speak to you” I knew exactly what you meant, it’s this organic way of patchwork that I love and do myself. I also love how you have this vision of your brother’s vibe and create according to that. As several others have recommended, always use a thimble when you handsew 😊

hi carly, i am ALWAYS using thimbles when sewing with hand - slowstitching, quilting, embroidery... ALWAYS! I am using a clover silicon thimble and a clover silicon finger thingy for the pointing finger. that makes getting the needle through so easy and no pain at all! It also depeds what kind of needle you are using. for quilting i recommend pony needles - but i am also using milliners no. 3 a lot or bigger, if i am using thicker thread! you can find my favorite supplies in a video on my channel! i love the hoodie - always impressed how you just do it! keep going girl!

currently 04:30am in the UK. Doing night shifts suck, but tonight's shift was blessed with the drop of a new video just as I started my break. what a treat!! Thank you for bringing sunshine and creativity to my days Carly!

Carly... you have a great SERGER sitting on your table... that machine would secure your seams and finish them without the bulk.... I love your process. Keep it up 😂😊

hahahah you're right!!! you're so right

Such a beautiful garment ❤ congrats.

Really nice! I love it! well done! you brother is lucky you care so much! ❤

For someone like myself who has issues with feeling of seams, the way you did the binding is fantastic

Just in case you're interested in exploring it further (I am making my first quilt!) a lot of hand quilters that like thicker thread use size 12 thread. Normal sewing thread is like... size 40 I think. It can come in lots of colors including gradients and multicolors! The two brands I know of are aurafil and wonderfil. I'm sure there are others.

i love your curtains !!! also great video i love the sleeves and the way the hood crosses over at the front of the collar :)

Spectacular!! ❤

I've listened to your brother's music for a while! Collapse is my favourite song 🥹 You are both so talented!

this is hilarious; I also just finished a jacket for my brother AND I'm working on a quilt lolol love how this make turned out! bias binding is attached using one of the wings to the right side (right sides together), then folded over to the other side. you can either just stitch it down on the machine or carefully whip stitch them down if you don't want the bias tape showing on the front side

Hi Carly! I’ve never commented in your videos but I have to say I feel like you’re so fun and your projects are so inspiring! I got inspired this week to make a quilted soccer ball for my best friend’s baby, which apparently requires me to learn English Paper Piecing. It’ll be an adventure!

I think you solved the seam issue great! I would have done a flat felled finish. (right sides together, trim one seam allowance, wrap the other seam allowance around it and stitch down through all layers) This seam is very strong as well. You could also trim the batting before doing this for a super flat finish. Love the hoodie!!

Love it!

It is beautiful! You made that! 😮😍

Looks brilliant. Best present!

Oh my God that's amazing and I'm positive he absolutely loved it! The sleeve finishing is so cool.

Your original designed earth-toned hoodie is spectacular!

I love your sewing setup, very professional iron and sewing machine. Love the hand stitching!

I used to get sad/mad when my husband didn’t like clothes I made him, but I’ve learned I just can’t get mad about what someone wants to wear. So I’ll usually gift them again to a guy friend who will love them!

YOU DID AMAZING! This is making me want to make one for myself now 💕

It turned out absolutely gorgeous! I love the colours and the hand stitching gives it such a nice texture.

You would probably love Cherrywood fabric! It's all hand dyed with tons of variation, like the piece of fabric you said you loved.

Yay! You make me smile! I just did a happy dance when I saw your new video. I just finished re-watching your collar video as I just made one! Looking forward to watching this one. I have so much scrap sweatshirt fabric.

This is on my bucket list to make myself, but I'm scared. I've only made clothes for dolls

you can do it!!! not too difficult - just time consuming. :D

I just finished making a sewn gift, too! What a coincidence. This was such a lovely and thoughtful present for your dear brother. I love all your videos, Carly! 💖 I am currently on my sewing grind. I have finished 3 sewing projects this month so far. Your videos always motivate me as I sew.

I found you a couple of days ago and I am OBSESSED with your work, your vibe, your colors and your energy! You are magical❤ Thank you for sharing your work!

Love this! I made a small quilt recently with a big stitch technique, and I love how it turned out. Your project reminded me that I definitely want to do that again, but for a bigger project.

it is sooo cooool😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

I love your Videos and the way you present your ideas!!! You are so creative and such a nice person

I didn’t think you could get cooler but your brother???!? VSC? How neat is that! His music is incredible & that hoodie is such a vibe!

Well done ! I absolutely loved it. Your inventiveness and confidence is really inspiring you got to go for it he don't go for it nothing happens and I can tell you a lot about that

Cotton Perle No. 8 by DMC is lovely too.

You need a leather thimble for hand sewing! Saved my fingers in university.

Awesome job! I made a quilt coat in the past and just had some flappy bias bound seams that I stitched to the seam allowance for the armholes and I did a similar thing to what you did for the other seams. The big difference I did was I used a bias bind for my hem and centre front opening so avoid excess bulk at the hem.

I really wasn’t expecting to like the jumper, but it’s delightful

Hi Carly! Recently, my two main projects are my kids 😅 So my sewing projects need to wait very patiently at the moment. But watching your joyful videos makes me wanna dive right into sewing instantly 😊 Thank you for being you! ❤️ Also, the love for your brother is so beautiful ♥️

20:33 me whenever i get my self into sewing projects that end up taking double of the time i planned 😅 loved the result!!! Nothing says “I love you” like a hand made gift 🫶🏻 Greetings from Mexico city ✨

LOL, I feel you! When my machine F#@ks up i literally throw it in the trash. So many of my machines got the frustrated toss to the bin. I should really invest in a Juki, SMH

Sibling love makes me feel warm and fuzzy. Im one of 6 and we're all super close ❤

I feel like when I do bias seam finishing I end up with bias bound nubbins which can then be flat felled down, but I really like how flat your technique turned out. Also loving the curved patchwork you did! Definitely need to incorporate that in my next quilt

looks really cute and comfy and stylish! Did your brother like it?

hey dear love your videos! would u show us you making some princessy dress!? you have a beautiful studio. thank u for all the beautiful content. 💜💜💜💜

It looks so cute! For your big quilt project later this year, I really recommend getting some sort of thimble, it’s going to save your fingers and sanity haha

You need a Sashiko thimble when quilting with such big thread. Just a thought. I embroider and a thimble is a must for thick threads and very think fabric.

Sewing buttons on a Zero Waste dress (pattern by Birgitta Helmerson) and enjoying your designing and sewing process!

I'm sorry, do you have an *industrial* sewing machine??? Amazing, wow. Goals. also the hoodie looks great!

Love it! How did he like it?

❤️❤️❤️

Looks great, I bet it will be well loved. The hand stitching was worth it, get yourself a leather thimble!

PLEASE, TELL ME YOU RECORDED HIS REACTION

once you have connected all the pieces, doesn't that mean that the hand stitching is secure with that line of stitching? would you need to keep the seam allowance?

ALSO THIMBLE USE A THIMBLE LEARN HOW the hand pain will never cease if u dont (XO

I don’t know which brand she’s using but DMC is excellent and widely available. They have different thicknesses of crochet thread but my favorite is size 8 pearl cotton. It shows up nicely for big stitch hand quilting and is easy to work with.

Oh, Carly! It's GORGEOUS!!! 🥰 Does he like it?! So generous of you to do a pattern breakdown! 🥹💗 I'll be heading over to see that! 👍🏻 I don't get on with thimbles, but have found that covering my needle-pushing finger with sticking plaster (don't know if that's what you call it in Australia? The sticky stuff you put on a grazed knee) works brilliantly! Just downloaded the Vancouver Sleep Clinic's playlist on Spotify and like what I've heard so far! ⭐ Bit Coldplay-ish I think. 😍 Lots of love and hugs, Deb xx 🤗💕 PS. I think this tutorial: kzread.info/dash/bejne/hXqN05SNktm0cqQ.htmlsi=_ol--80R4UYhU_dD has the kind of binding you want. It's a gorgeous project and a she's a lovely lady, but if you just want the binding bit it's about 10 minutes in. 🤗🤗

So I can’t just buy the pattern? I have to subscribe to patrion? I want to support you but I just found your channel today.

Carly I have been wanting to ask this for a while but how to you name your business ?

Im sorry but the shape of your hoodies bugs the F out of me. Its a cool idea and a great execution of your project, but for someone that wears hoodies for warmth not style, that fact that your design flares out at the bottom instead of following the line of the body sends chills up my back thinking about the cold wind that would blow up under that. Otherwise i enjoyed the video and the project, though i personally would have liked a bit more detail on the making and sewing of the hood itself.
