    I love the whole process and the time & effort you've put into this. The shirts came out great, and honestly i can agree with having your own clothes fit your body. It does make the whole fit look nice, & is a game changer. Im new into sewing, so it has definitely sparked me intro trying to tailor my own clothing. Love how overall informative you are! Definitely subbed!

    • @busybila

      Wow thanks for the incredibly sweet comment and for being here! I agree, having clothes actually fit you is a game changer, mass produced cannot compare. This video was a little out of my wheelhouse because I’m not well versed in the menswear world so I appreciate you noticing the effort spent. Thank you!

    Yes! I also love fixing things like bag straps. It annoys me when someone says "but it's just a cheap bag?" So what! It's my bag, I love it, and cotton takes a lot of land/water/fertiliser/human labour to make, so why shouldn't we treasure it and take care of it?

    • @busybila
      @busybila Місяць тому

      I understand and I thought it would bother me at first but it doesn’t actually! I’m sensitive to the feeling of holes in my socks but I don’t feel the mending at all. I think it also helps that I tend to knot my threads on the outside of the sock

      The term sewist is just a combination of the words sew and artist and it can describe anyone who likes to sew! A seamstress refers to someone who makes a living through sewing. My projects are typically for myself so the label seamstress doesn’t feel right
