I’ve been working on a small series of mushroom inspired witch hats - it’s so fun to work on something without knowing how it’ll look in the end for once

Would love to see your take on a pair of overalls if you haven’t already!! Love your work and videos!!

Well tho I have been sewing for more than 40 yrs I am still in admiration of your jeans making as I have never attempted making any!!!🙈🤣Bravo for your success!!!🎉🎉❤❤❤

i tried doing something like this with a pair of old jeans that were ripped to oblivion but couldnt figure it out. now i wish that i had found oyur videos to give me some confidence. im not sure if im the only one that thought this but when you had the flowers turned in i immediately thought you had 2 maxi pads on the knees hahahaha!

I love your work and you're so underrated girl! I wanna make my patchwork jeans too, and I wish I had the skill for that.

The whole outfit looks amazing. Imagine buying something like that - it would cost so much money!

Aw thank you so much. It would hahaha it was a labour of love (as most great sewing projects are!)

Ohmg!!! Thats the key! Tension at 0 for the serger when you do the threading havk! TYSM!

This is so much fun! And they're so CUTE!!!! It's making me want to get started on my own patchwork dungarees! Currently I'm still working on the patchwork sweater. I ran out of the rainbow yarn and had to wait to find something that matched well, so I started working on blankets for my kiddos that I started a while back but never finished, because project ADHD is so real. As well as Master classes start soon!

These turned out so well 😍 definitely worth all the extra effort! I've just finished my biggest project yet as a beginner sewer - a lined Ilford jacket using a thrifted wool blanket 😊

Hello, Carly! You did amazing patchy pants :-) ... when I make my patchwork pants, I prefer to copy my pattern, take it apart first, and cut out individual pieces ( I use a mix of fabrics) , then sew together my patchwork pieces into my pattern pieces ... it is usually big chaos, but I love it this way :-)

Cute! I think the flower would have been even cuter if you had left the edges raw and let them get raggedy.

hi! I love your style and these pants are so cute! I think I might make some with all my scraps!

Hey! I recognise those streets! Seeing as we're neighbours, have you tried The Nest Community at Everton Park? (They're moving at the end of the month, though.) It's a secondhand haberdashery and I buy everything from there including thread. Just a heads-up if you're not rich. lol. I love the jeans! You've inspired me to get out a couple of old pairs I've got tucked away!

Haya. I am newish to your channel, first time commenting ☺Loving your jeans & watching your process, such a great way to add fun & color to your jeans 🤩 The actress Susannah Hoffmann who played Jen Pringle in Anne Of Green Gables ways back, hope it is ok to say, you look a little like her, as in when she played Jen 😀Thanku 'sew' much for sharing. Ana. 🪡✂🧵🙂x

Hi Carly! I love your videos and am always looking forward to new ones! I have learned a lot from your tutorials. I would love to know how you go about making different sizes to sell for others. I’m working on my personal sizing but want to be able to make pieces that friends and others can wear. Thank you!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼

Are you using different needles on an industrial machine just like a domestic one? A denim needle? ( edit, I watched till the end and you mentioned needles) Did your machine come with different feet? Love your enthusiasm. :)

@fromcarlyb

8 ай бұрын

You do need different needles for the domestic and the industrial! And I just have zipper feet for my industrial as well as the regular foot!

I've seen a couple other folks mentioning that the Helene crotch seam isn't fitting how they like them. For you is it that there's just too much ease built in? I know Anna explained that it's for non-stretch denim and it's a more vintage fit, so I'm wondering if it's a design thing, or if it's a modern sensibilities thing

@fromcarlyb

8 ай бұрын

I have seen this too! I think I just got my sizing wrong a few times. I'm pretty sure this one does have more ease built in in comparison to the Perspehone pants... so the crotch I didn't have to alter. But I would recommend doing a toile for Anna Allen clothing pants just to make sure you're happy before you make it out of an expensive material!!

@@fromcarlyb a very good idea!

21:06 - How did you size grade just the back?! I'm about to make my first pair and ive been tossing up on sizes between 0-4 with the 2 being my main size but my hips/seat pushing to the 4 and my waist pushing towards the 0. I was thinking of doing the 2 as my first and go from there.

@fromcarlyb

I just started cutting from one size on the centre back seam & evenly decreased the cut until it met up with the smaller size at the top of the waistband!

Ha, I’m trying to sew the Persephone pants currently and I can’t get the sizing right. I’ve made five mock ups and two full on tries and it still looks terrible on.
