Thank you for sharing! So beautiful

Thank you. I have just given my daughter my old Janome and with this list, she will be all set to start her sewing journey.

I’ve been sewing for ~25 years, most of those without sewing machine. I sew everything I make by hand, because I find them confusing, annoying, and cumbersome. I can sit and sew everywhere, without lugging about the machine ánd without the noise (which I find very unpleasant). Obviously it’s not as fast as with the machine, but with time and experience hand sewing is much faster than most people think.

The one that had colour bleed looks fine to me, if you wanted to try and fix it maybe some oxygen bleach like resolve or oxiclean might take the colour out of the white parts?

One thing I have done to extend the life of my rotary cutter blades is stropping them. I made my own leather strop by attaching leather to a leftover piece of 2x4 and then I got some polishing compound. I rub that on the leather and then run the rotary blade over that. It's similar to knife stropping, which is how I came up with the idea.

I love that you explain the fabric type. I'm trying to learn knits but it's so overwhelming. It's nice to hear a specific fabric type and see how it drapes. I've learned so much just listening to all your info! Thank you!

Hello Sarah. I just find your video today and subscribe to your channel 😊 This video was very interesting to me. I am live in US now and dreaming to move to France. I have a question for you - it was difficult to learn new language and change life style?!! I love to sew too, just don’t have enough time for it. I am originally from Ukraine and live in Us for 19 years. In Ukraine I was studying sewing in special sewing school for 3 years 😊 It was interesting and remembered years of my life.

I just found your channel, and I'm so happy I did! I've been searching for someone who makes clothes i'd wear but had no luck. I watched your video, and every single thing you made, AND wore while making it, I was in LOVE with. FINALLY! I gave up sewing for myself because I never liked anything. I couldn't figure out what I liked and got too discouraged. We have similar bodies, so I know for sure what will work for me. A million thank yous!!!! Also, what is pattern for the white dress you wore with the robe at minute 25:26? Everything you wear im searching for the pattern!

I enjoyed watching all the series. Thank you for sharing your making process. Hats off to you for deciding to make your own dress and executing it so beautifully. Just watching you run into problems was nerve wrecking as you were nearing your wedding day. You looked beautiful in your dress. Congratulations to you and your husband!

Sarah, please make a video how to make a french hat, wool or felt?

Thank you so much for linking to a quilting ruler in cm! I've really struggled to find one in the UK as they all seem to be primarily in inches even if cm are included. One slightly less conventional tool I like to use when sewing is a metal woodworking ruler, as the measurements go right to the edge and you can also iron over it!

😊

I’ve been sewing for years and never knew that measuring tapes stretch! I’ve had mine for so long the edges are fraying. 😮 I think it’s time to get a new one and see just how much longer my old one is in comparison! Lol 😂😂 And thank you so much for the sewing wax suggestion- I’ve always seen it in stores but never bought it because I didn’t know what it was for. Nothing more frustrating than your thread tangling while basting! Thanks again!

Sarah hi lol What fusible interfacing ? Mine looked and felt like a baby interfacing even though it said woven interfacing :(

Hi Sarah! I found that a thin piece of a dry bar of soap (you know, the leftovers you get after so many showers) can be used instead of wax to stop thread from getting tangled, and also as a marking tool instead of white chalk. I enjoy your videos, thank you!

Part of my sewing supplies were purchased in the school supply section and include scotch tape, glue sticks (washable and regular), washable thin tipped markers, and colorful chalk. I also wait until the supplies are on sale or have been clearanced at the beginning of the school year, when I need to restock anything. I've never used tailor's chalk personally because it was cost prohibitive when I first got into sewing - all the other mentioned supplies were less in total and/or "borrowed" from my kids.

Thank you so much!!!!

The best pins are not those with the glass heads, but those with the tiny metal heads. You can iron straight over them without creating indents in your fabric.

I just returned from three weeks in Paris. I can see why you decided to make your life there, Sarah. As an American, I've always seen the hedonistic side of the French (heehee), but there is something to prioritizing the beauty of life. I visited two of the fabric stores you recommended. I had to buy a new suitcase to bring back my haul. Thanks so much for all the recommendations!

With the exception of the rotary cutter -- which wasn't invented when I started sewing -- this could be the sewing tool kit we needed for 7th grade sewing class, when most people my age learned to sew! My only suggestion is that you have multiple seam rippers and invest in a really good iron!

Sarah hi Can you please make a video on Bella’s travelers coat ? I made her Grace and tempted to make the travelers coat

Thank you for this video! Super informative! I have the LDH scissors and I like how sharp they are. However, when I open the blades it lifts and shifts the fabrics and I cant get a clean straight cut. I noticed from your video demonstration clips, that this doesn’t happen with the Kai scissors likely due to the bent shape. Can you confirm this from your experience?

Funny, I don’t own a seam gauge, nor a quilting ruler, and I hardly ever use chalk. And I make my own clothes for decades now. Your selection of tools is excellent, but you can achieve the same with other tools too. Maybe that’s a consolation.😁

Excellent list, especially including the rotary cutter. The only other thing I'd add is a *reliable* iron. Mine's older than I am but the tip of the iron is the perfect angle for pressing tight spots.

Lots of good advice, I've collected all these items.

I see how the sewing gauge is essencial, every other youtuber i see uses it. I tried buying it here in Brazil and I just can't find it. Maybe the translation is not equivalent and the name is something else, but even when i go to shops in my town and show them the pictures they have no idea that it exists. Buying one from Amazon on the link you sent, after shipping and taxes amounts to almost 200 reais, which is equivalent to 6,50 meters of mixed linen (making sewing comparisons so you can understand :D ) ... I would really love one of those, i just can't afford that amount right now and it seems so inexpensive in America and Europe. Thank you for this video <3

Thank you for all this great sewing supplies tips. I see that you have a dress form, I was thinking of investing in adjustable one, is your dress form adjustable or is it made specifically for you ? Do you have any recommendations for dress forms? Thank you .🙂

Sewing machine needles, and good thread would also be essential. There are universal needles that are a good start, but if someone wants to sew jeans and knits, then they could use different needles for each of those projects to lessen aggravation. Good quality thread that does not fuzz up or break while sewing is also important.

I have all those you mentioned, and I feel your list is very comprehensive. Anyone who follows it will be ready to SEW.

Checking my supplies list right now!

Sarah, I just found your channel and I am over the moon! I will be going back through all of them. Can't wait to see your fall plans come to fruition! Lovely to "meet" you. 🧡

These are so nice. Thank you for sharing this tutorial. Is there a tutorial for the tan slacks/skirt you were wearing when you modeled the first blouse?

Thank-you, I appreciate your channel. I knit, quilt, and needlepoint. Thank-you for your inspiration. (Don't allow your channel to change your life. You be you just as you are😊. Your viewers can wait.) Thank-you, Christina🧶🧵🪡🙂

I loved that last dress with the Minerva fabric. Maybe if you modified the bodice so there’s less fabric. But the color suits you so much. And the pattern looks great. I’ll check out the blog post.

what does interface mean?

I'm really glad that found your channel. :-) The most precious thing about it you are honest and not faking perfection but your videos became perfect anyway. <3

I love these. Thank you for a great tutorial.

Renk ve stil o kadar cezbedici ki anlatamam. Bu kanal cok daha iyi begeniyi hakediyor. Sevgiler

You do great work!

Just the relaxing vibe I needed after our excruciating and disappointing election. Thank you.

Today I’m making applesauce with the apples from our tree. Hoping to put it in the freezer. New subscriber from the Westcoast of Canada.

Thank you for explaining what you do with pdf patterns. It’s all new to me.

I really enjoyed this style of video from you. A little bit of everything but including sewing and knitting content too. Thank you

Thank you for sharing your day with us! Although your plans were ambitious, as you said, which is not a bad thing, I admire the way you quickly set new priorities and adapted to your main goals of relaxing and doing enjoyable activities.

Thanks for this so calming video. I thought Apple cider what warm french cider.

I don’t sew with knits, I eager to see how your project goes

nice video, enjoyed watching it, I love this time of the year, autumn is such a cozy time, the freshness in the air, love it, thanks for the inso ☺🍁

Slightly jealous of how cosy things are in your little corner of the world! Here in Australia it's heating up and I'm dreading the hot, sweaty, sunburny summer that's been forecast! As for my autumn staple in the kitchen, it's got to be pumpkin soup with bread and butter 🤤

I could almost smell the aroma of the cider. Thank you for sharing your day with us…it was lovely of you.
