    Whitney- With so much on your plate at the moment I'm always amazed at how much you bring to the sewing community. This style of video and your fabric/pattern combos are what I head for when I'm in a rut or in danger of losing my mojo. As always, thank you so much for sharing and inspiring us all.

    HINT: for the green Arlington Sweater, I think crochet sleeves would be so perfect this season. Knit the body of the sweater, cuffs, and neck band, and then crochet the sleeves. This is the best inspiration video. Thank you, Whitney. ~ L

    I especially loved all your ideas for hacking the Aria. I've never had any good luck with using a blouse pattern without darts, but I do have a TNT blouse pattern that I could use. The Harmony hack with the long flounce at the bottom in gorgeous, in the right fabric, of course. Mostly I love your enthusiasm for creating / recreating beautiful things. This was a really good inspiration video for me. Thank you!

    I am so glad I found you on UA-cam! Love all your hacking ideas. I really want to try so bad. I used to sew for myself in the 70's, 80's and really love to sew. I have made a goal of making 60% of my clothes in 2023....we'll see, at 73 my shape has changed a bit the biggest change is losing my waist. Love the Tessa, but would want a below knee version with some variation on hem and more of a casual look, for living at the beach in NC. Just concerned as it looks more fitted. OK, looking forward to following and learning more. Take care

    Then the shacket from from Aria in a beautiful cream light weight wool.
    After that, the Arlington with the long cuffs and pleated sleeve caps. And wait…there’s more…😂 My grands will be suffering.
