Hi. I'm new to your channel and delighted to have 'found' you. I've been sewing for many years but am delighted to learn new techniques and you both explain things very clearly. I do hope that the producers of sewing bee listen and give the contestants more time to complete and press their garments and it can return to being a sewing contest not just entertainment Thank you. Sue

A delightful conversation was had this evening on the longest day. Welt Pockets. How have you got on with doing them? THANK YOU for all your lovely comments and praise over the format. It's lovely to welcome so many new viewers to the show. We love doing it and having you join in the conversation whilst the Bee is on. Plus, Carol mentions MASTERCLASSES!!!! Stuart

Ohh so exciting a masterclass with Carol. I truly enjoyed the masterclass last year, I learned so much. I often find myself, when I am sewing, what would Carol do? I wish Carol had a sewing help line sometimes. Once you make a welt pocket and it turns out, the surprise and pride you feel because you realize wow that actually worked. Great feeling and then you wonder can I do that again? Great show Stuart and Carol always enjoy it.

I do lots of different style pockets in bag making, including welt and double welt zipper pockets!! It can take a bit of practice to get your head round what you’re doing!! Your demo made it much clearer to understand ☺️

Thank you Stuart and Carol for this enjoyable episode. The welt pockets are a bit out of my league yet, but I love the style of the Nehru Top. Thank you both for the tips on overlocking, to practice first and no need to add extra seam allowance. You are both excellent at explaining everything clearly. loving these Gathered videos. 👍🙂

Great explanations as always - Carol is so clear. I am really excited about the Masterclass[-es] - loved them last year and learnt so much. I was told the buttonhole adapter on the Janome machine they use does not work well doing speedy or multiply buttonholes. I want to do some practice of welt pockets.

Welt pockets... always an anxious business. I'd love amore advanced discussion of how to deal with fabrics that may cause problems of slippage, fraying, bulk or stretch.
@tomscrafts
2 ай бұрын
For fraying, some types of welt can be cut oversized to begin with, and then trimmed after they're sewn. The same may apply to bound buttonholes: in the GBSB series 7 final, Serena and Raph got into difficulties with fraying after they cut their pieces without safety margins.

I enjoy making welt pockets, but I've been doing them at a lower level of couture. Carol made the short sides of the welt just touch the short sides of the box, but mine overhang inside the garment and cause a pile-up of layers beside the box. Some day I shall have to try the method where the welt's short sides are finished first.

The technique is a tricky one, I agree. I found it helpful to practice part of the pocket installation and get comfortable with one step at a time.

Fantastic demo of a welt pocket. I have never had much success with these but now I know where I have been going wrong. I must say I was disappointed with the quality of the sample Nehru jacket with the pulling on the top left. But I find that my manequin has a "thick neck" at the back and would cause this to happen, so maybe theirs is the same. It is very annoying. Looking forward to the V neck demo, another thing I need to practice!

When I made a Tailored Harris Tweed Blazer with all the internal layers there was no way my Janome would do the buttonholes without the the extra plate attachment. Some fabrics will not behave with the ordinary buttonhole foot.

It hasn't been great here! We are having a heat wave with high humidity. My emotional support chicken almost ended up fried! If I have a "go" with a garment I will "go" to a store!!! You know I can't watch this program so I have a question. Do the contestants explain what they did and why or any other pertinent information? I wish I could see the show. How do they work out which materials they use?On your mark, get set, go? On Project Runway they would sometimes go to the fabric shop and pick out their fabric and notions. That was a fun part of the show.
