Love the 3 min tidy up at the end of the sewing session.

Those cooking gloves are so pretty! Candy corn is my all time favorite autumn treat!

Carole, I’d suggest grading out the hips a little on your Toaster Sweater pattern rather than sizing up. The shoulder, bust, and waist fit is wonderful. I love how you draped the arm of the blue blouse over the shoulder of the floral blouse. So cute and unexpected! Your oven gloves are lovely. Your mum will enjoy those. I have trouble with the binding when I use batting and the Insul-Brite. That cake! Wow! Peanuts in candy is an acquired taste. 😂 What I really like is cinema popcorn mixed with chocolate covered peanuts or Goobers. 😘

Beautiful binding on the neckline. I need to do that! I just usually use my serger. That knit top fits you perfect at the bust and shoulders. You may not want to size up. You are blessed to have both parents. I lost my father in 2005 and my mother in 2019. Enjoy them while they are here. The oven gloves and potholders are beautiful. Great decorations for your father's birthday. I just picked up some quilted fabric to make a jacket also! Mine is not double sided. I will have to line mine. I think your grey ribbing will go with the pink just like the cover. What a fantastic cake!! I've always wanted to learn how to decorate cakes but afraid I would get fat eating them!! 🤣🤣♥♥

I love that you started autumn sewing - I’m still up to my eyeballs with Frocktails sewing but cannot wait to make all the sweaters and long sleeve tops! Love the oven gloves and happy birthday to your mom! I love mixing sweet and salty snacks. My favourite is chocolate-covered pretzels!! Gorgeous photos at the end… as always! Have fun at the holiday home! Xx 💞

Your expressions while eating the candy corn/peanuts was priceless. 😂The mix of the two tastes like a candy bar called “payday.” The oven gloves are so nice. Birthday blessings to your parents. 🥳 Enjoy your weekend! 🧵

3 .minutes per room FANTASTIC! Maybe 5 before leaving sewing room 😅

Hi Carole, thank you so much for sharing the sweatshirt pattern, I have been wanting to make a co-ord set with a sweat shirt and forgot that I had this one. xx Love the oven clove.

[nancyhilborn]

Great idea for a 3 min tidy as you leave the sewing room. I will adopt that!

[TheFrenchSeams_vlog]

Woohooo! I’m so proud 🥹 the binding looks amazing! Thank you for the lovely comments!
So glad the party went well and the oven mits look fantastic. Gorgeous autumn plans 🍂 and OMG candy corn and peanuts!!! This I just HAVE to try.. all that’s missing is a glass of wine! 😉 lovely vlog as always and hope you have a lovely weekend ❤

[MarySprague-ep]

I absolutely enjoy all of your videos! Your clothing style is similar to what I like to wear therefore I look forward to each video to see what you will make next. Love seeing all of your photos as well. You are a great photographer. 😁 Thank you for sharing all your hard work and your life with us. I look forward to visiting the UK in the future. ❤

Great idea for the side slits on the top, it elevates the top. I love the cake, bunting and card for your Dad's 90th birthday! The oven mits for your Mom's birthday are beautiful! Thanks for sharing your pictures of your trip. Thank you for all your videos! Enjoy the weekend at your holiday home.

I hope to try the same version of the Toaster Sweater sometime this winter. I love the raglan sleeve version a lot, but I have never tried the split hem version.
I have never tried peanuts and candy corn together either, so I‘lol have to give that a try too. Have a wonderful weekend. 😊

[fionasmith]

Thanks for the cleaning idea, I'm going to try that, 😊

[CreativityFromBlueberryHill]

We’ve eaten salted peanuts and candy corn since we were kids! Sometimes we add M&M’s too!

[patricialittlejohns]

Hello Carole, I have that blue fabric that you have on your bust there.
Thankyou, given me nudge❤
Luvs, luvs luvs your vlog

[debradollisson]

Carole, I have a habit of tidying my sewing space and leave my sewing in a position ready to sew straight away. I am going to try the 3 min trick in the rest of my house thank you.

[sarahinglis]

Thank you Carole, was watching this while making your tissue holder-it came out great! Need to try oven gloves next. Love your bunting and birthday card for your dad- congratulations to him.

[jankerslake]

Your Dad’s cake is awesome - aren’t people clever? Loved your Mum’s oven glove and pot holder too. A very polished finish. I must make some more oven gloves - possibly for Christmas. Hope you get to make yours.
That cotton jersey is lovely and as for the autumnal firework viscose jersey, that’s 🤩. I’ve had my eye on something similar for ages (but trying not to buy any fabric.) so I’ll be very interested in seeing what you make with that.
Have fun Carole! 👍

Hi Carol! Well, your sewing plans sound wonderful but it's rather difficult for me to get on the "sewing for Fall" bandwagon when we're still having such hot & humid weather! Know what I mean? Oh, I have a feeling that candy corn with salted peanuts would be REALLY good! Oh my!! It would probably be like a salted nut roll called a PayDay. Have you ever tried one of those? YUM!!! What a lovely birthday cake your Dad had! The cake maker is quite talented! Happy Belated Birthday to your Dad and a very Happy Birthday to your Mother!! She'll love her present, I'm sure. Have a great week-end!!
