OMG Large and in charge. That is THE COOLEST SAYING Seriously- bagels 🥯 in the oven….. are they hard to make?? I was gonna say porter Or skin… you do you 🤣🤣🤣 I always do a sew along to match the instructions…. I will show a couple of ways, but like to follow the instructions cause you won’t always be watching me. Grrrr. I hear ya with the bigness…. It has to be big enough at the waist to go over your hips, so that doesn’t help with the size thing 😳🤔 Hope the lounge suit ain’t masoove 😂 🦩🦩💕💕💖

I recently retired and I'm sewing again, but I have not planned to sew clothes. I love this blouse though, so am I to do? I love french seams. I'm currently making Santa Sacks and drawstring backpacks for my local Christmas charity program, and I am making french seams on both of them. Thanks for the post.

I hope you see this question. I haven’t sewed in about 15 years. I went to look at fabric for Project Dress A Girl and was in sticker shock at the prices. My questions are what is the average price you have found for the cotton material and what places do you recommend to purchase fabric for this event. Thanks.

I love that you are sewing with your little girl.

HI, Erin! Congratulations on reaching 2,000 subscribers! I really enjoyed getting to know you better through this video. You've had an interesting life experience. Our daughter-in-law got hired by DODEA a year and a half ago.They're teaching on a military base in Okinawa. After they got there, our son was hired also. It's a great experience for them but I, selfishly, don't like 3/4 of our grandchildren livng so far away. I do have to say, though, their adventure has expanded our life experience as well. We've been to Japan twice and are going back again in November.

Erin, I love you new hair color. It looks great on you! Adam has good taste in hair color!😄

Great information on t-shirts.

Hi Erin. I like that 19-year-old pattern from Newlook. I think those barrel pants are so cool! There's nothing wrong with big hips girl!😅😅😅

Hi Erin! Look at you getting a discount code! 😊 I love your chambray fabric! Sooo cute you and Brady working on the quilt together 🥰 You have so much stuff going on! Seems like a lot of fun - can’t wait to hear about everything at reveal time!

Hi Erin! Just when I thought you couldn’t get any cooler, I watch this video and learn even more awesome stuff about you! Thanks for putting your time and effort into this video and all the others you do. I really appreciate it ❤ (fun fact - I majored in pharmacy in college but quit after over 4.5 years completed and 1.5 quarters to go. Long, complicated story that I don’t like to talk about much, but I’m VERY happy with how my life has ended up going so far and that’s all that really matters 🙂)

I really enjoy your channel. You are s9 inspiring. Your never afraid to try new skills. I find myself trying a pattern being successful at it and not really wanting to branch out to new things. I live just outside of Pensacola FL in Milton. ❤ I have been watching your channel for about a year now. I would love to get into quilting one day. I have no clue where to start but they are definitely a work of art.

Hi Erin, I have just found your chanel and really enjoyed watching my first vlog. I too learnt to sew and knit from my mother who was a tailoress. I don't class myself as fitting into any 'box'. I just do what I love for myself and enjoy the moment. If I don't know something I do what you do and watch youtube then move on. I actually miss the sound of the sewing machine chugging along. The whole sitting at the machine and holding the material, it is hard to explain but I just love it. Anyway I am blabbing away. I am going to binge watch the rest of your videos now. Take care from the UK xx

I am making some more pj pants for myself and I am about to try a Love Notions shirt that is supposed to be quite easy. We will see. I used to sew a lot and then I made several quilts. Now back to garment sewing.

This was a great video!

I used to sew in the dining room, but then the kids grew up and I sew in play room. It is still a place that needs organizing. I will hit a snag and work on organizing it. My cutting table is an old door. I sometimes put things on the ex door knob and whatever I just lost is on the floor. I quilt and do garment sewing, as well. I have enjoyed your videos. I only discovered you recently.

Thanks for answering my question Erin 😊 Such a great idea to add an invisible zip to that pattern, I love that you just went for it and that you even had the idea in the first place. Such a great video, loved finding out more about you 😊

Thanks for answering all our questions! This was really fun 🥰

I don't go for drapey fabrics either and it seems so not-like-everybody-else, lol, so thanks for sharing your love of more structured fabrics! I really like cotton lawn for lightweight in the summer but structured. And linen too.

Erin, I find that Mimi strays from the written instruction a lot, which seems a bit counter intuitive since it’s a Mimi G pattern.

Love the patterns you picked up! I thought about the barrel legged Jean and decided that it wasn’t a good choice for me, so am looking forward to seeing how it comes out for you! The quilt is sooo pretty! Have a great weekend!

Thanks Erin I did order a few patterns from tape free patterns they were very speedy on the turn around I think it was only about a week and I had my patterns. Great company!

That is not the first time that I have heard the instructions not matching the video and I agree with you. They should match.

Great video! It was so nice to learn more about you! You know I always look forward to you entertaining and down to earth videos! I wore one of my new blouses on Wednesday to work on the office and for some compliments on it. Then when at the pharmacy I was asked by the clerk where I got my top and then how much I would charge to make her one. I told her I didn’t commission sew, but thank you. I’m at the stage in my life where I am a bit of a selfish seamstress. Have a great weekend!

Love your content because you are so down to earth and honest. Keep up the good work. ❤

Thanks to you I bought 7 New Look patterns the price was incredible. Including postage $2.20 per pattern. Hope they get here before I forget what I had in mind. 😱 Love that your daughter is sewing with you. Have a great weekend. ❤🧵

Great video and not boring at all!!! I watch a ton of sewing videos (when I'm sewing and when I'm not) b/c I don't know anyone else who sews and it's like a sewing circle. It's also almost 100% pleasant and positive, kind of a Hallmark channel experience (guessing, as I've never watched that).Congratulations on 2K! I also hate cutting things out and I cut out on the floor for almost everything but a counter-height table would be nice; cutting on my dining room table results in a backache. My grandmother was a seamstress and hated cutting things out so it's genetic 😁. We all have our favorite things because they work for us like the clever zippers you put in the dress, or because we like the color and fabric and the way something looks so that it gets worn more than other things. You had a cool job - our neighbor's daughter went to Annapolis, was a fighter pilot and now works in Navy intelligence after having two children - her dad was a fighter pilot so it was not a strange idea to her. I think most of us have more than one style depending on the occasion and what appeals to us. As for what makes someone an advanced sewist, I would think it's being able to make almost anything, such as tailoring a suit or making a wedding gown with all the boning, fitting, "pickups" for the train, etc., but a lot of what is advanced is more a matter of taking the time to learn the steps involved with a more complex process than an easy pattern - it's not that it can't be done by you, but it will take a lot more trial, error and study than you may want to give. I would never try to make my own jeans, for example, because I'm pretty sure I can find something readily available for a good price that I'll be satisfied with but some people enjoy the challenge or have particular needs that aren't met with ready-to-wear. Making my own bias tape for the 1st time while watching!

I have made a few versions/sizes of that girl’s dress pattern for Project Dress a Girl this year. I also made larger sizes for older girls - it is a good pattern for dress a girl!

Thanks for the discount, glad you’re pleased with this company, was looking for an alternative option.

I love the quilt top! And patching together the sashing is extra cool, you'll be able to smile every time you curl up under it because you've been so clever! 😘 Yup, those formatted instructions. [162 lines of text edited out.. 😆😆] I don't think anyone there has tried 'press under the seam allowance' on knit fabric. It looks to be a very comfy outfit! BTW, I'm wearing some linen jeans with that leg shape today! ( I AM Sunshine jeans. )I like the look of the Vogue pattern, and how from here they have a "trouser" look to them, too, like they're a little lighter weight than jeans. I think you'll like Vogue's instructions - there's usually a little more in the way of details in the pattern. 😘😘

I totally get "is my butt really that big" thoughts buzzing around in my head!! But it does always fit 🤷‍♀️ 😂. Love your quilt and can't wait to see the finished project!!

Your Standing Tall quilt is going to be so beautiful. I really hope you make the deadline because I selfishly really want to see it. 😂 I love that you’re making the little quilt with Brady. Must be a true exercise in patience though… much admiration on my part here! I really like the fabric you’re using for that Simplicity outfit. Can’t wait to see that one finished as well. Have a good weekend!! Xx

Just a thought; let your daughter decide if she keeps the quilt or takes pictures and gives it away. She will remember that feeling forever.

You are one interesting woman! You can do it all! 🥰

Hi Erin! You convinced me - I will definitely try French seamed set in sleeves! Your striped shirt is pattern matching perfection! I did not even realize the back was separate pieces instead of cut on the fold! How sweet for Brady helping with the ghost quilt 😊 It will be a keeper for sure ❤ Sorry for the late reply! I started work and Owen started school. We are adjusting to new busier schedules and I have less time for watching videos 😢😆

Hi Erin. I loved hearing your answers! I really loved hearing about your life and your service! You are one cool chick! I didn’t know you were flying around in a fighter jet 😮WOW! So cool. And thank you again for your service! I laughed when you said you are quilting cotton! I couldn’t agree more. Thanks for taking the time to do this. Congratulations on 2000…. You will be at 3000-4000 before you know it. ❤ Diann

This was great. And yes, I was cutting out a pattern as I watched/listened.❤🧵

Thank you Erin for letting us to get to know you better! I enjoyed it! There was a lot of good questions.

Erin, I really appreciate your comprehensive answer to my question. I’ve heard a lot of people say if I could make a Chanel coat I would know I’m advanced in my skills, or if I could make consistently good bound buttonholes, I’d feel like I was an accomplished sewist. I guess I asked the question because I was going through my own personal reflection on the subject, and I was curious about what you thought. I’ve been sewing for an extremely long time, yet I don’t consider myself advanced. There are a lot of things I haven’t even tried, like I’ve never sewn a raincoat or a swimsuit or a bra. I feel like I should have some sewing aspirations, but to be honest I don’t. I just sew what makes me happy. If it requires new skills I practice until I conquer them just like you do. Each new year when everyone discusses their goals, I almost never have any. This is the first year that I can remember that I made a sewing resolution, and that was to incorporate more decorative stitches in my projects. That requires zero sewing skills only a measure of thought and planning. Why don’t I want to be an advanced seamstress? My husband will frequently asked me if a shirt or pants I’m wearing were purchased or made. He thinks I don’t give myself enough credit for my sewing skills. I was in the thrift store and a lady asked me if I thought that the fabric she was holding was linen? I crushed up a handful to see if it wrinkled without even thinking. The woman said something along the lines of she should have thought to do that. It’s all made me wonder about the importance of sewing in my life. I loved what you said about learning so much from just being around your mother. And you did learn and excellent mindset from her. I imagine she is an amazing lady. My mother sewed her own clothes and some for us as well, but she never talked about sewing much or taught any of us girls to sew. I learned at a Christian school I attended for a couple of years. I do believe that sewing was a gift from God to me because it has brought me so much enjoyment and provided for so many practical needs. It is amazing to me that the way we think can have so much impact on our lives. Your mother gave you a “can do” mindset, and it has powerfully affected your life. It just makes me ponder all the more my relationship with sewing. Maybe the reason I don’t feel any need to be advanced is because my skill level has always expanded to meet my needs, just like yours has. What more could anyone else ask for? Just FYI, you may or may not want a Pfaff Performance Icon. I got the Performance 5.2 and it’s okay, but I find the 9mm feed assembly too big for my comfort. The feet are huge and it makes precision sewing a little bit more cumbersome for me. I do still sew on it and have no complaints about the actual machine, but I’ve been sewing mainly on my vintage machine for a few years now because I like the narrower feed assemblies.

I had a great time just pottering in my sewing lair and listening to you. Thanks for sharing yourself so openly. Looking forward to seeing you next time!

So fun to get to know you! My son flies F-35s and I like to sew for his 2.5 year old daughter. Would love to see favorite toddler sewing projects.

You have such an interesting life! The nursing dress hack is amazing, putting in the invisible zippers wow. My husband gives great reviews too but he is also free with his suggestions 😂which I sometimes take as criticism. I vlog on what I’m interested in mostly although I have started thinking about if something would be interesting but I also treat it like a diary of sorts. It is funny how it’s changing my thought process slowly and I consider how I’d film things. Really interesting vlog thanks for sharing!

Totally loved learning more about you 💕💕

Thank you, Erin! F-15?!?! That is so cool. Thanks for being my sewing-time entertainment 😍

‘Which way did who go……?’

Erin you were a total badass in the military! Whoa! I'm back in Atlanta again and it makes me think of you.- planning on dropping by GailK later this week. What a pleasure this was to hear all about your life! Pfaff 4evah 👊😂 And oh, the water. Love the water,.

Thanks for sharing your story. I enjoyed getting to know you better. Your videos are always comforting and inspiring. I love that you share your sewing experiences. None of my friends or family sew. They listen when I’m talking about it but I can tell they’re not really interested in it. They want me to make or fix stuff for them but that’s about it.

Lots of fun getting to know you a bit more! ❤ I love that nursing dress, too (except mine doesn't have zippers! :D Congrats, again!

Great video! I subscribe for your sewing content; however, I really enjoyed hearing about your military career. Thank you for your service to our great country!! 🇺🇸

Hi Erin, what a great video👍. I didn’t know you were in the military, and a Weapons Specialist!!! WOW🙌🏻🙌🏻. My daughter wants to know what was your call sign? (If you had one). I had your video on the tv, and she was paying attention 😉. Your favorite green dress is so pretty and versatile for breast feeding 👏👏. I really enjoyed listening to all the questions and answers, especially about sewing. Take care ❤️❤️❤️

Thanks for this. Loved getting to know you better. I LOVE that nursing dress.
