Would thread snips by ok? They are less than 4inches as per TSA policy.

Thank you so much. You are a gift to us beginners!!!!!

I spent a horrible day trying to use my pleater for the first time. Discover old thread breaks, my fabric was maybe too thick and I broke many needles! Loved your honesty about bloopers you made! I think I'll try again!

Uy que chambona cuántas agujas se llevo .

Thanks for sharing this awesome idea!

Part 2 ?

I have tried to smock. And set it aside because my thread kept breaking so I'm trying to use orange nylon thread. Because it doesn't break

Love! Ordered the storage box and it’ll arrive tomorrow (actually own 3 identical ones, great organizers). Can you give me some specifics on where you placed the holes? How far does, how far apart? Thanks so much

smocking always confused me

Hi! I would like to know, if after doing the embroidery it is necessary to remove the threads used to make the pleats.

Just so you know, lyocell is indeed a type of rayon; but rayon is not synthetic, it's artificial (that means it's made from plants using a chemical process). Synthetic fibers are made from plastic.

Most places won’t take embroidery scissors away from you (under a couple inches blade length), however, I did get a small pair taken in Tahiti. From then on I used children’s scissors with a blunt tip or nail nippers.

I loooove the way this turned out. Looks great

Zippers are the Devil! Definitely the opposite of fun. I feel similarly about setting sleeves in.

Onde comoro essa maquina?

I love the fact that you openly admitted to reading romance novels. I am 46 yo and I struggle telling people that I like them. I guess it is because I like everything from bodice ripping to abdl. the part of the genre that even people reading romance stick their nose up at. I feel like that when I say I read romance that I have to justify it because I don't like tame. Am I looking for escapism yes. I started reading romance around 10 by reading Kathrine Woodwiss (although I hated her last book) is it wrong of me to like books with trauma and how the characters overcome it. Is it wrong that I love spice, books being the closest thing i will ever get to it Is it wrong that I actually liked 50 shades of gray knowing full well it was a terrible book

I wonder if you have the little Amanda or Amanda Janes? I hope you can share what needles you use? Thank you

Thank you so much for sharing your idea re storing your smocking threads. Fantastic idea!

Hey I'm also from birmingham!!! So nice to see another southeasterner! Love the videos💜💜

Romance is absolutely my favorite genre! I started reading it by borrowing my mom’s Romance books starting about age 8 (and trying to be sneaky about it, though Mom absolutely knew). Though now most of what I read now are fanfic romances from a curated set of authors that are awesome. I just started being bugged by problematic things I was seeing that I used to be able to dismiss. But all of my favorite entertainment is the happy-ending escapism kind. I would love recommendations for those without lots of problematic consent issues!

I don't personally care for Romance (in any media format) but I DO really love your treatment of the genre here! Bravo, madam!

Hiding the book in public places... My teen self can relate! Ha ha! I did love it when the digital bookstore hit Switzerland. Free at last! Thank you for this take on the Bridgerton subject.

Some of my favorite moments has been when I’m deeply immersed into a romance novel, completely forgetting the world around me. Yes, I enjoy action books, fantasy and sci-fi, heck, even non-fiction. But if I just need to escape for a few hours (or days, for that matter)? Romance all the way.

I read romances. I especially prefer Loretta Chase, who has a strong historical background and goes out of her way to make the Regency/Romantic environment (and especially the women's clothes) as accurate as possible, excluding the scads of dukes about. She also emphasizes consent and agency, and joyful sex and relationships. Most of her oevre is pretty spicy, but she does have a few in the "offscreen" category. I also read my good friend Annabeth Albert's contemoprary M/M romances. These are picante! Again, tho, she emphasizes inclusion, consent, agency, and joyful partnering. I've tried some that were "classic", but when they run right over consent or any other nonsense, I just can't ignore it, anymore than I can ignore the lack of shifts in Bridgerton.

I appreciate your covering this angle on the series, it (partially) covers what I’ve been waiting for someone to talk about, in addition to the costumes and racism and size discussions. I’ve read and seen some romance (as the genre - I’m still confused about when other books have romance in them but aren’t the romance genre, and others sound like they’d be more appropriately called sex novels rather than romance novels) and determined I like the Hallmark movie level of romance generally. My sort-of-question has been that such a variety of people have enjoyed Bridgerton the show (I haven’t read any of the books so can’t compare) that I wonder if most people consider the level/amount of sex scenes normal? I guess it’s a rhetorical question and the answer is yes, given the popularity of Game of Thrones, Outlander (the fantasy and historicalish elements of those shows appeal to me, but the amount of violence, etc puts me off) and other HBO type and MA rated shows. I enjoyed your discussion of books in general, and would happy if you want to put your librarian hat on again for future videos.

Wow, myself 20 years ago but i have moved into audible.... lol romance move aside enter fantasy. Admitting to romance addiction very hard lol love me some earls and ladies....Claudette Williams back in the day could be so hilarious oh yea georgette heyer used to LOVE

I just love the walking suit from Liberty and Co that is now currently in The Hague. There is something about that neckline that is just perfection.

That’s a great solution!

You are adorable and the best is showing, what can go wrong, I am about to buy a smoker, and I prefer a 'Warts and all' approach, the good stuff and the bad!! 😍 😍

Where can you buy mercerized thread for pleating? Is it a certain size? Cost per spool?

Omg THOSE HATS!!

It would have been my first Costume College too 😭😭😭

I usually travel with scissors for clipping baby’s nails!

As a plus size woman who wants to make that cape, MUST SEE THE CAPE VIDEO PLEASE... and much more kitties please

I really want to get a pleated, but I’m super intimidated by the learning curve! Thank you for this video!

For a single person moving heavy things sometimes putting it on flattened cardboard makes it easier to move things IF you can get it on the cardboard in the first place that is. You then pull the cardboard at the bottom to move the item. I prefer shorter videos.

I am so excited for Chubby Umbrella. It is so fabulous. Great video :)

I’m so glad I found you (bet you didn’t know that you were lost 😳) I would love to watch videos going along with you on your renovation of your space, I currently don’t have a designated area, but I will be having one in the next few months so I’m looking for inspiration 💞💖💞

I am very interested on how you alter the cape to fit. Your figure looks a lot like mine, so I am very interested how you will do the wrapping bands in the front. I already have the pattern and have watched Noelle at Costuming Drama and how she did the shoulders, but she has a pocket-like dip on the side. Of course if I looked like Bernadette . . . but I don't. Will stay tuned!

The moment of silence for Hancocks 🥺🥺

I joined your moment of silence for Hancock Fabrics. 😭 I am so excited to see your Chubby Umbrella costume! ♥️

Stages. I prefer shorter videos. I listen more attentively.

I am sorry I don’t see the link for the Halloween thing and I haven’t heard of it... love the silk!

I personally like shorter videos more often keeps me motivated lol but I will watch it all!!!

I travel with tiny cuticle scissors from the 99 cent store. They are TSA compliant because they are tiny enough. They are sharp but don't stay that way for more than a year or 2, but they are cheap and not sentimental.

For linen, a good thickness in one thread would be 40/2 normandy linen. It comes in various colors and can be gotten in various places including Etsy.

Very pretty.

I LOVE your footnotes!

I think you would love the 15th and 16th century smocking

The 3ml sample inch vial could also serve as a clear case for needles, so TSA can check your needles.
