Oh wow the video and pictures at the end were AMAZING! Thank you! Love all your makes from this week. And it’s super fun that everything coordinates! Take good care of yourself next week and don’t worry about content for the channel. Everyone will still be here when you come back! Xx 💞

Lifting you in prayer Carole! You take all the time needed for a proper and complete healing. We'll be here when you're able to come back.

Carole, your video was great. The sound of the engines goes right through you. For 57 years I worked for a company that makes jet engines. I used to love to go to the air shows. Your new clothes this week are beautiful. I missed this video somehow and when I saw later videos I wondered what had happened to your elbow. Sending Light and Love that your elbow heals quickly and you are out of pain. ❤🙏❤

I hope the op goes smoothly and you recover quickly 🙏. I'm always happy to watch you whether you make anything or not. You'd be missed if you weren't here 😭.

Prayers for you in surgery and recovery. Thanks for the plane video. Here in America we have just celebrated Independence Day and our colors being red, white and blue..... this could have been our Navy flight team, the Blue Angels... doing a similar performance. It was spectacular, thanks for sharing.

Do not worry, Carole! We will always be here for you! I couldn’t sew for six weeks after my shoulder replacement. Please come on and tell us how you’re doing. We will watch! ❤ BYW, your shorts and trousers came out great! Thanks for the air show! 🧵🪡❤️

All the best.. You'll be surprise how you will manage..You are such a smart lady who will find an way to do things. However do take care and take the time to need to heal. 🥰

Thank you Carole for your lovely makes and the accompanying sewing review tips, it's so helpful as I'm always inspired to make some of these garments. Your tips help us to stay calm when manoeuvring our way through the many pattern challenges we encounter. I hope everything goes well for your operation next week. Best wishes to you - you're a true trooper. ❤

❤I’ve thrilled to see the amazing Blue Angels 2X! I always enjoy your local photos at the end of your videos, but this was very special. Best wishes on surgery/recovery Carole.

Wishing you a successful operation and a speedy recovery Carole.I really look forward to your videos and what a special treat to see the magnificent Red Arrows. I love your linen shorts ,very classy.I recently bought a similar pair from Reiss and they were very expensive,you have inspired me to have a go at making some.I especially like the pocket detail on the ones you have made.Take care lovely lady xxx

Well, I don't know which rock I've been living under, because I've never heard of your Red Arrows. I love jets and planes, too. I recently started working as a civilian for the US Navy at an air base and watching the jets fly over never gets old. It's remarkable. Wishing you all the best for a speedy and full recovery from your surgery. I'll be back, because you and your videos are delightful!

Ververy best wishes for your operation next week and for a speedy recuperation.

Wishing you a healthy, speedy recovery Carole. Take it easy❤

Good luck for your on coming surgery. All the best for a speedy recovery. I will be watching next week as always. Don’t worry your faithful followers will stay with you.😘 Pat

Praying for you next week and for a speedy recovery. We will all be here when you are ready to come back. Thanks for sharing all the pretty garments from this week. I love the linin pants and shorts. My family has been here for three weeks and just left today. I'm hoping to get back into my sewing room next week and sew some summer clothes, it's getting really hot here. Thanks for the cool video at the end. Take it easy and rest.

I used to use hem binding on all my hems. I loved it. I kind of got away from it for a while when sewing went by the wayside a bit in my 40's and 50's, and when I started up again I forgot how much I liked using it. I'm glad you mentioned it. I used to hand hem everything back then and it gave a nice sturdy, finished edge to sew into. I've been using my sewing machine to hem this time around, but the hand hemming gives a much nicer finish. I think I might go back to using it, now that you mention it. I do think the weight is likely why they used it in those trousers. It helped in floaty skirts and dresses the same way.

Great makes as always. Love the trousers. Wishing you a speedy recovery.

Take care and wishing you a speedy recovery! I love how the shorts turned out! Beautiful fabric and great fit!

Thanks for sharing the aero display, it was spectacular! Good luck with your surgery, looking forward to seeing you sewing again soon🤞🤞

Oh wow, you are so lucky to see the red arrows so close, they are amazing. I wish you all the best for your operation, of course you are nervous, but hopefully all will go well and you will have a speedy recovery, take care ❤. Love your sews, the shorts look amazing as well as the trousers, can’t beat a linen pair of shorts/trousers.

Loving the capsule wardrobe! Everything you make is so great and fits so well - I always get inspired to try harder in my sewing when I watch your channel. I hope the operation goes well and your recovery is quick but just take your time to get back to full strength. If you feel up to it, please come on and let us all know how you are doing. You'll be doing even more sewing once your elbow is fixed! Sending hugs x

Such beautiful photography and videography! I really enjoyed seeing your makes! I will be on the lookout for the shorts pattern. Prayers for your surgery and a quick recovery. I will be here whenever you are on. Rest and take care of yourself. Your faithful viewers will wait for you. ❤️

I love everything about your channel Carol! Your sewing journey is always fun to watch and I’ve learned so much from you. I’ll be keeping you in my prayers next week and during your recovery. The photos and video were amazing!

🤞 surgery and recovery goes smoothly I will definitely watch whatever you manage to post. I love your linen pants and shorts. I was paddling my kayak at our reservoir which is near our local airport when the Canadian Snowbirds few their practice runs over me last summer. It is so exciting!

My prayers are with you, your physicians and caregivers as they completely fix your elbow! I definitely will be here when your able to return! I love your videos.

Carole, you could just sit and chat away telling stories and I would still tune in to watch. I wish you the very best with your operation and remember, lots of extra protein helps your body and bones to heal. Your linen pants look lovely and so much more elegant than the pair I made in double gauze. And you sold me on the shorts as well! I too love airplanes, all types. I was in the U.S. Air Force and had the opportunity to be aboard a few different ones.I love watching our Air Force Thunderbirds and the Navy's Blue Angels. Thanks so much for sharing! The plane video gave me goosebumps!

Whiching you speedy recovery. Your garments look pretty, and we would love to hear from you during your recovering. All the best ❤

Please continue to post,Carole even if you have no sewing to show. Of course only if you are up to it. I’m sure everyone will be happy to see you. Best wishes for your surgery.

The best of luck with your op! I love watching, you are so inspirational. I will keep you in my prayers!

Love the crop linen pants in that color, shorts are great too. I need to make some shorts/pants and I have that pants pattern. CUTE bag!

By coincidence I was golfing on vacation when the Blue Angels were practicing above our heads for a show. They flew over us about 10 times. Amazing!

Prayers for a speedy recovery!

Good evening Carole what a wonderful video. Your fabric choices for the tops and shorts and capris are lovely, especially the linen shorts and pants 🩳👖 l love linen as well, they're very comfortable too! WOW the air show was nice, you always have fun and beautiful clips at the end, l enjoy it all. Thank You Carole for sharing your life with us all. I also pray for you when having your surgery, that God will be with you and the doctors who are doing the surgery, and that you'll have a speedy recovery. ❤ 🙏

Plane footage was just amazing!

Those planes are amazing. Thank you for sharing. I pray your surgery goes well and you are pain free and back to sewing soon.

Great makes.. especially the pants hope you get lots of lovely warm weather to enjoy wearing them Carole🌻

Lovely makes! Good for you hemming Dad’s pants. It made me remember that I have some repairs my husband asked me to do, and I need to get on them. Mending isn’t the most fun, but it is satisfying. Best wishes on your surgery. I can imagine that it is scary, but they know what you need and by following their recovery instructions, you will be good as new, before you know it. Take care of yourself, we’ll be here. 😊-Deborah

Do all your cutting be fore your surgery. Maybe a nice pajama set that you would enjoy wearing during your recovery. Prayers to you and fast recovery. 💕🙏🏻🙏🏻

Absolutely keep us informed of your progress and don’t overdo anything!! Opportunity to become a lefty. Love the plane fascination you have kept hidden from us. Great video and photos. Take care.

WOW. That was amazing! Thanks for the red white and blue! I didn't know you were such a fan of planes but no surprise there. I think that's why I always loved working in an airport - people coming and going and I was always curious where and why. I bet you're always one of those people on the plane who's a pleasure to chat with - I'd do that with you anytime! You were busy indeed - I wish I could get all those pants you make look that good on me, it's just my own pickiness and fit and overthinking. Katie's bag is so pretty! You absolutely must make one for yourself. The t-shirt looks great on you and matches perfect with that divine linen. Makes me want to order some. We certainly have to visit Andrea when Trish and I come (eventually). That color is gorgeous. I will be praying for your arm, am praying for your arm, so no worries, God's got this! He's got you! No need to be nervous, you are right there in the palm of His hand. It'll be time for some hand sewing, slow sewing, maybe even some EPP? Easy things that won't take 2 hands or arms and will give you time to recover from anesthsia. Ah, life with no pain! Love you. xoxoxox

Another great video. I love those shorts! Thanks for pattern ideas. Good luck with your surgery. Don't worry, I'm sure you'll be fine. It might take time so be patient. I'll be here listening to whatever you have in your vlog. If you can't sew or move your arm for a bit don't forget you have lots of expertise you could pass on just by talking or showing us a technique from a previous garment. I'm always game to learn something new or just listening to whatever you're up to. I have a hard time taking time to sew in the summer. It's so short I hate to miss it. I loved the plane show at the end. Wow, what fantastic photos! I'm sure they could win a contest. Again, good luck and best wishes 💪.

I am sticking with you! You. You come on every week and just chemit chat even if that's all that you can do until you get back to sewing. ❤❤❤

Carole, don’t worry if you don’t have any sewing to show, it’s much more important that you take care of yourself😊. I’m right there with you on loving to watch planes, I’ve seen the Blue Angels several times, it’s amazing!

Linen is lovely, isn't it! I, too, love airplanes and when I lived in Cheyenne watching the Thunderbirds at the Frontier Days airshow was always at the top of my list!! Thanks for sharing the footage of the Red Arrows, because I re-experienced some of that little-kid thrill! Wishing you the best with your surgery and a super-quick recovery. ❤

Loved the planes - and all your makes, Carole. Wishing you the very best with your op and may you be back sewing again soon. Take care.

Prayers to you on your upcoming surgery. Will look forward to seeing you when you recover. Take all the time you need.

I love how those shorts came out! The pants too, but those shorts, I really really like. The color, the length, the fit....perfection. ☺️ I am sorry about your arm. I will be praying the nervousness is replaced with peace and that the surgery goes smoothly, also for a fast recovery. I believe most of us that watch your videos definitely enjoy the sewing you share with us, but it's your lovely personality that keeps us tuning in. I saw the Blue Angels one time, and it was unlike anything I had ever seen. I can imagine your excitement because it is definitely something to see up close.

Oh Carole we shall all be here for you…hope the operation goes well….sending much love your way ❤😊

I hope your operation goes well and please take the time to recover. All your fans will still be here when you are well again.

Good luck with your recovery Carol. Goodness me, Of course we’ll stay with you! Just take your time!

Carol, sending prayers for success with your surgery and healing. I live not too far from our smaller local airport. When the Snowbirds come into town for a performance, they fly, in formation, over my apartment. I get a great view from my 3rd floor balcony. I agree. Planes are cool. By the way, invisible zippers can be inserted without a special foot. Sometimes with better results. Again, all the best! 🛫 Bernadette

Best of luck on your arm surgery Carole!! Will be keeping you in my thoughts and prayers! 🙏 Love your linen looks this week!❤ the shorts are adorable and thats my favorite pants pattern!🎉 how exciting to see the Red Arrows up so close! Glad you didnt get hauled off by the cops!🚔👮 have a great weekend and dont stress over your surgery!! Love you!!!❤❤

Wishing all the best with your forthcoming operation hopefully it will go without any problems.Wow ,those pictures in the end were amazing ❤beautiful pictures thank you for sharing ❤

If not sewing, could you talk about some of your favorite patterns and/or tips for sewing? Maybe even a review of your machines, or tips for setting up a sewing area/room. We all enjoy seeing you and wish you the very best! Prayers for quick healing!

Oh Carole praying your surgery goes successfully!! If anything, let us know how it went but only after you are up to it. 🥰. We just watched the Blue Angels a few weeks ago - I could watch planes like that at anytime. The precise flying is amazing!! Thank you for the footage.

Hi Carole. Best wishes for a great result -- I'll be sending you healing energy. I loved the planes at the end. Those are amazing photos. Every year the Blue Angels practice over San Francisco in October (they perform for what's called Fleet Week). I worked on the 23rd floor in downtown SF before retiring and got a bird's eye view of them. But they were way too fast to ever take photos. But what drama, Antonia

Wow! Just wow! I loved seeing the footage of the Red Arrows’ incredible!!! I really hope your procedure goes ok!! And don’t worry about putting out content! Just mind yourself!! Sending lots of love ❤

I love Linen and you did such a good job. I will keep you in my prayers for the op. The air show was spectacular 🎉

Hi Carole. Love your linen makes, both colours are fantastic. Shame you didn’t get on with the t-shirt pattern but that’s just how it goes sometimes. Wishing you all the best for your operation and that you make a speedy recovery. We will still be here whether you put content out or take a few weeks off to recover, although I do understand the boredom factor which will probably propel you to be sewing and vlog making. I used to love seeing the red arrows when I was a little girl. I can remember being at St Anne’s on Sea one year at the hotel we were stating at and they flew over. Oh the noise and the unexpected excitement. Happy days.

Hi Carole, glad you enjoy the red arrows, I live in Lincolnshire where they are based we see them all the time. We can just stand in our garden and watch them training. Good luck with your surgery.

I'm watching this on 10th July so you should have already had your op! I hope everything went well and I'm sending lots and lots of healing hugs your way! I will be watching your channel no matter what you chat about! xo

Good luck Carole, hope all goes well. I used to live right on the seafront in Leigh on Sea and the Southend Air Show always had the Red Arrows, amongst other wonderful planes, fly right over our apartment which was the top of the building. The noise was so loud but the feeling of the movement was wonderful. Best wishes

Good luck with your op Carole. I'm sure you will find a way to keep up with your crafting. You've made some lovely makes and I'm sure you'll be back and making more clothes very soon. Obviously stay safe, and speedy recovery. I'll be thinking about you.

Hi Carole. What a happy accident that your makes coordinated so well. I love the Simplicity pants. I have that pattern… I really hope to get those made soon. I will be praying for you and your surgery… take the time you need to heal… we will be here when you get back. And never worry about complaining… I seem to do it all the time. 😂 I hope this will fix your elbow and you will be better than ever very soon. The planes were awesome. Such skill those pilots have. Thanks for sharing that. ❤ Diann

Fabulous photos of the red arrows! Best of luck with the surgery Carole hope all goes well and you will be back at your machine before long❤

Wow that fly over gave me goose bumps and I was not even there. All the very best I have had an elbow op it was painful so keep up the meds every 4 hours for the first few days and some good quality vita C and D definitely for healing. You will be sewing in no time.

Oh I’m so excited to see the lutterloh project when ever you get it done. Hope your surgery goes well. You will be in my prayers

Great video, thank you. Best wishes for a speedy recovery x

I’ll be praying for you. Love the linen shorts.

Of course I wish you all the very best for your surgery next week Carole. Look forward to catching up next week ❤

Carol, you've been sewing sewing away! I like the pants with the simple pockets! I'm interested in sewing pants now so I'm looking at a lot of videos with pants. Have a blessed weekend, my friend.

Carole: I do pray for your surgery going super well and healing is very fast. I will stick with you with whatever you put out for a video. Be assured of that. I do sooooooooooooo love the fabric of the top you are wearing in this video. Your recent makes are lovely and it is wonderful that it all coordinates! I had cataract surgery in May and I was very worried about it too but all went very well and I am sure all will go well for you and you can be pain free. We all deserve that for sure.

From a fellow plane lover thank you for the red arrows footage. Good luck with your surgery, don't push yourself, recover well.

Good luck and have a speedy recovery xx❤

Sending healing thoughts and prayers your way, gotta make those Simplicity pants! ❤

Oh, Carole, you remind me so much of my deceased hubby. He, too, absolutely adored planes. When we went on a trip he always had to have the window seat and though he grew to be clearly an elderly age before he died, he always was like a little boy with excitement. He’d point out different plans and tell me what type they were. Such a wonderful memory. Thank you! We will patiently await your return. I, too, have to have rotator cuff surgery in August and I’m already distressed about all the things I will not be able to do and quite anxious about the procedure, as well. It is also my right and you guessed it! I’m right-handed. Please come back and visit so we will know how you’re doing even if you aren’t sewing.

I hope all goes well with the procedure on your elbow. We'll keep following you just for the scenery from your walks!

Best Wishes for a speedy recovery Carol ❤ 🐨

Loved the flying videos and photos! My son is a US Air Force fighter pilot and I share your fascination for cool flying! His daughter is 2 and I’m working on seeing her some air plane themed pjs. Will be thinking of you about the surgery. Best wishes!

I think the tee shirt is VERY flattering. I like the shoulders on you and especially the sleeve size and length. Good luck with your op- and thank you for not using your channel to tell the world ! I seriously didn’t know you were struggling. Fingers crossed for you

Very best wishes to you on your op. Love watching your videos

What fabulous makes love the blue have just got sheets from IKEA super cheap great fabric with a blue theme sending much love and a speedy recovery ❤❤ we will never leave you i have been done that road recently with my eye take care❤❤😊😊

The airplanes literally gave me goose bumps! Best wishes on your surgery and recovery period!!

All the best for your operation. Love your channel and the photos. ❤

Yes that was a rush to hear them! Thank you for showing us.

Speedy recovery all the best for you.❤

Wow! Fabulous video and photos at the end. Best wishes and prayers to you on your elbow surgery. 🙏 I am at the end of an 8 week stint from a broken bone in my foot and it’s been driving me bonkers! I can put no weight on my foot and it been very frustrating. The only way through it is through it…I do what I can but everything takes so much effort.

I pray the surgery goes well and you have a speedy recovery! Your makes are lovely. Take care!

Hi Carole, wishing you well! I will be sending you good thoughts next week. Thanks for the planes video and pics - they were spectacular 😊❤

Great video!!! Thankyou! I love all the fabrics, especially the beach bag!

speedy recovery, awesome jet watching, thanks

Aww great makes as usual Carole, we knew the red arrows were flying over were we live but didn’t know if we would be able to see them, they gave a rough time of when they should of been so me and my husband was waiting in the garden, we heard them before I could see them, but unfortunately not quick enough to get any pictures, you had a fantastic view, hope everything goes well for your operation Xx

Lovely makes Carole. Best of luck with your surgery. Hope you will have a speedy recovery. Big hugs from Alice and me❤

Take care of yourself next week, so you can heal quickly and return to your sewing projects. Please let us know how you’re doing. We’ll be watching for your next Friday Sews video, even without completed sewing projects. ❤

Praying for you and your recovery.

Thrilling…..thank you❤

Oh Carole! I do the same thing with the planes! I have this app that usually tells me what kind and origin and where it’s going!!!! Funny! Love your makes! And I’ll be putting you on my prayer list for a successful surgery as well as a speedy recovery!!!❤

All the best for your surgery. Seen the Red Arrows few times. They are fab. Take care lovely lady.xxxx❤

I love your blue linen shorts! Coastal colors are just the best. I think I have the pants pattern you made elasticated pants! I’m a linen lover too❤️ I have some pretty linens in my stash but waiting for the right pattern to come along. I’ve had Carpel tunnel surgery in both hands. I’m glad I had it done. I’m sure the surgery is way different now. Mine was not very intrusive, two small openings. I healed up pretty fast. You cannot get anything wet. I remember hanging my arm out of the shower door🤣 I could do some things. Precut out so you can sew.

All the best for your recovery! In Canada we have The Royal Canadian Snowbirds who put on a great show.
