I have a box of women’s fancy handkerchiefs that I want to quilt together into a duvet cover. I’ll quilt them onto new sheets for the envelope of the cover. Not sure if this will look too sketchy and not professional, but I think if I sew them together by hand, this will control the look of the edges.

That is a vintage chenille blanket, not just "fabric."

I bought my sewing machine 2nd hand in brand new condition last yr last week got a seger 2nd hand also ,taught myself sewing watching UA-cam and pinterest videos, love informative videos like yours subbed ❤from South Africa 🇿🇦

Completely off topic but this hair looks so good on you

I love this! I volunteered at the registration desk at a conference last year, and people kept returning broken lanyards (the clasps popped off easily). The facilitators wanted to throw them away, but I asked if I could keep them. They are made of a beautiful bright blue ribbon, about a cm wide. I like your idea with the rope to add texture to a fabric. I wasn't sure what to do with these, but I might try that. Other suggestions are welcome. I also thought about making little blue roses with them, which could also be added to a garment.

I got that sewing machine for Christmas! (The A16 :D) such an informative video thank you so much!

Hi Eleanor, I just started watching your videos and the amount of effort you put into them is amazing! I thoroughly enjoy watching and learning from you. You had mentioned some of your fav youtube creators are illustrators, non fashion ppl etc, could you list some of them? so interested to know!

The funny white fabric is a chenille bedspread. For the last 40+ years I have dyed them and made them into jackets, mostly. Sometimes a few other things. Can't wait to see what you do with yours.

Corduroy is a winter fabric but it looks great that's what you're talking about is going to be fantastic

Can’t wait to see all the garments!! 😍😍😍

The yellow and white is a chenille bedspread (had to google). It means caterpillar in French 😊

You could make a shirt out of all the jewelry bags

You should totally make some wide leg pants with the yellow and white textured fabric

Think it’s what they called a candlewick bedspread,

omg I can’t wait to see the bomber jacket + mini skirt set!!

Isn't that a vintage Chenelle bedspread?

If you didn't show that picture of a market, I would have never guessed you were from the Neherlands! Bedankt voor de tips, ik zal ze zeker gebruiken als beginner💖

I’m from Toronto. Thanks for the lesson

I feel you on looking 12 and not being taken seriously haha. I haven't aged since like, junior year of high school 😅 and my playful sense of style doesnt help 😆

You can sew without a machine

Great use of space. Look around your space and find something you can use as a brace. Example: Turn small suitcase , board, think!

Hey, I like floral prints and bright fun, colourful material. A neutral colour to me is pink, I just find it goes with everything!

Love your studio girl!

Happy new year!!!!!!! <3

I’ve been thinking about learning to sew on a machine for years! This is my year. Thank you so much sharing your experience

I’ve been sewing for like 6 years now. Something I would recommend is a loop turner, I still don’t have one and use a skewer. So even that would work if you plan to make tops with straps. I also love the UA-cam tutorials!! that has saved me so many times, after leaving school and needing to teach myself how to make a lot of things.

Bottom hole stitch is also optional. My VERY old sewing machine had only straight stitch and zigzag stitch (4 width only). In the manual there was instructions for making button holes with zigzag stitch.

"Without a machine you cant sew" *me who has made clothes and cosplays by hand for over 10 years* You say what now??

Vintage machines are amazing , I use a 1971 baby lock and a 1970,s bernina record , They haven’t ever missed a beat , I oil my machines and clean them, No servicing required. Modern machines need servicing every year or 2 , it ends up being really expensive.

Perfect timing!- maybe you can answer something for me about the large thread cones please? I have been wanting to get these for colors I use most often (which are primarily black, white, and off-white, just as you said!), but I’m confused about what to look for. When I search “sewing machine thread cone”, different things come up, including thread cones that are labeled as “serger” or “overlocker” thread (I live in the U.S. for reference)….My understanding is that these threads are very lightweight and different than sewing machine thread(?), so I’m confused on what to look for in the description or title of a product to be sure it’s appropriate for use with a sewing machine. Any help would be greatly appreciated- love your videos! ❤

Great tips! ❤

Happy new year! I just started tiding my basent sewing and art studio alongside with your videos. And I really like them all. 😊 I didn't know you where located in the Netherlands. I live about an hour away from your location in Germany. 😊

I’m a pretty experienced sewist and I 100% agree with you on purchasing a good basic sewing machine. I wasted tons of money buying sewing machines that had all the bells and whistles and honestly I use very little of either of them. No bells, no whistles. Also, I agree with you regarding thread. I have again, over the years, purchased way too many colors when I only really need a few basics. I would add to your list of black, white and cream, a medium to light gray. Great video.

Great video! I would include a tape measure as an essential tool as it’s important to take your measurements to determine sizing 😊

if you are able to get hand me down scissors you can have them sharpened if they are blunt.

i used a lot of Mood Fabric's free patterns, the lavender tee and linda pants were good basics!

Good video. I would add light or pale grey to thread list.

your grandma sewing machine was durable and great❣❣

Loooove this!

You saved the best for last 😂. Love the maxi dress! ❤

Where is your cutting desk from!? It looks like such an incredible size and my back is so tired from cutting from the floor 😅 x

The dress you said was a fail was actually the piece I was most excited for you to show off bc I liked it so much! The fabric is so beautiful, and the ruffle collar and the silhouette are so cute!

So many great piece! Well done! I love the last piece, the longer dress!! 😊🩷

Such a cool little creative space. Why not paint that one little wall? or better yet...WALLPAPER!

You can maybe just hang up one of your “sample” fabrics on the wall behind your clothing rack. Or just use wrapping paper….or move your clothing rack so you can hang up your peg board and maybe get a coupe more to cover the whole wall….over the sample fabric or wrapping paper of course.

Is the striped bag hung on the rack from a pattern of yours or someone else? So cute!

Have a wonderfull holidays and happy new year to you too!🫶🏻 Industrial sewing machine is a dream of mine as well. 😌 I feel like people that have small space are able to get so creative with storage and layouts, I love how you saved/reused your old Ikea thing into your table. Fingers crossed for those extra legs🫶🏻💪🏻

Great updates!! 😍

May I ask what is your almost full time job?

Do you have a pattern for this bow vest? Literally obsessed with it and would love to make it for winter next year
