When I learned to sew in high school we started with an apron, then our second project was an a line skirt. I made all my clothes for school trying to copy outfits out of Vogue magazine. In my 20's I lived off the grid and used a treadle. I still have it in case our electricity goes out. LOL Then when I got older I spent years making quilts and I taught quilting to kids in 6th - 8th grade (11 years old - 14). Now that I am retired I am doing a project of making doll clothes for a Christmas Toys for Tots donation. I have loved sewing all my years and it has served me well. I just purchased a serger sewing machine and I am loving it. Your house is lovely.
Aw wow Tamara, You are such an inspiration! That sounds amazing. I want to get my treadle machine working again. Bring it back to life. Thank you so much for watching my video x
I love your honesty in this video. Not everyone’s work space is completely tidy you’re right. I watch some UA-cam beauty influencers show off their “glam rooms” and everything is so perfect - you know it’s not how it is daily! There’s no way. I wish people were a little more honest - there would be a lot less competition to keep up. Thanks for doing this video. By the way - you’re the same age as my daughter and I think you are just so adorable! ❤️❤️
I love the singer! The bird wallpaper is heavenly. And....I love your painted chair color! Also, Singer could send you the proper belt. They are very helpful.
I absolutely love your sense of style! My goodness! So pretty, fresh, bright and absolutely stunning! The pretty vintage feel is definitely something I adore! Very inspiring!
I love this room decor. What a great space to be creative in, I would be in there all day making jewelry if I had my room that pretty, bright, and organized.
Oh my goodness!! I love you and your videos! You home is gorgeous. So homey and clean. I love to sew as well and I'm really not very good at it. I love to make quilts for my grandbabies. Thank you for sharing your home and hobbies.
Came across your channel tonight...enjoyed the three I watched...your home is like my grandmother's was...wish my daughter was more like you and me...sometimes I think it's just the old sole we inherited...look forward to catching up and seeing more
Thanks so much for watching! Yes, I definitely think its our old souls. Maybe when she gets older as when I was younger I was more into modern thing and then as I grew as a person I started to love it x
oh mygod.yes that's my dream.iam retired just waiting for my daughter to go to college and then I will definitely visit.keep giving us this beautiful videos. I watch the ny. video.your are tuff to just go everywhere alone.iam from Brooklyn. .my daughter lives in Manhattan.
Hello Catherine, it's really nice to see your entire office. As it is not the same in a static picture (I thought it was next to the bedroom, not to the sitting room). So, for sewing, I did my own prom dress 20 something years ago. Princess seams and all. It's much easier than putting together some of that IKEA furniture 😉
Thank you for making these videos. I love your channel and your style. You are so creative and with fantastic ideas always. Looking forward to more home tour and crafty videos from you. Love from New Zealand.
I could hardly sew when I had my girls and I wanted to make Halloween costumes so I got a pattern to make a dress and was so surprised how easy it was to do. Just get yourself a easy pattern and go for it you will shock yourself how well you can do it. UA-cam is always a click away for help reading a pattern or learning how to make sleeves. Can't wait to see what you make. I can just see all the vintage inspired creations you will come up with.
Its so adorable!! Just love it!! My mom had one of those old singers when I was growing up with a little square drawer I used to play in.. TFS💕😊🐚Gracie
the belt on your singer is made from leather and over time it stretches. you can shorten it slightly ,punch a new hole in it and hook it back together. only take a small amount off at a time until it feels right,
My late maternal grandmother had one of those sewing machines. I've tried it and liked it but I love the modern ones much better. Dress making isn't hard. Good luck!
I started watching dainty diaries since the first video.i feel iam in Ireland thru this videos..funny. ok sweetie have a wonderful weekend.and thank you again for replying.
Love It, very cute. My sweet late Grandmother had a sewing machine just like yours, I used to love to sit at It when I was little and play with the pedal....Lol. Tfs. Blessings Always. Xo
You have such a beautiful home!!! I wish I was that domesticated but sadly I cannot sew to save my life hahaha!! Textiles was not my favourite subject at school at all!!! Loving your Chip mug!!!
Wow! My 93 year old mom had one when I was growing up n she use to buy our clothes second hand n alter them to fit us... My sister has it now... Lovely tour, just absolutely love your decorating style...
i just love your beautiful home, i am like you i can sew but not very good at clothes, my mine things i sew is curtains of different style, i am upholstering a pelmet for my bedroom at the moment, i just love shabby chic x
Hello Catherine! I've just started watching your videos and reading your blogs. You're a very smart, talented and beautiful young lady and very much an inspiration to us all. I really love your collection but it would be my luck the cat would jump up and knock everything off. Take care and have a wonderful weekend!!!
The project I am currently working on at the moment is my brother's bathroom. I am going to wallpaper the walls just to cover them up lots of dings. I found a simple white paper with a small geometric design on it and it looks good I will share when it is all complete. All the bathroom vanity, toilet, and bathtub are white I will add color with the accessories, I will be adding lots of blue and grays.
Love it as usual 💕 can I come live in your home 🤣 ...if you find any one day or weekend sewing courses can you keep us updated as I'm nurse so signing up to a 6week course etc doesn't suit my lifestyle but I really want to learn 💖
What camera do you use for your vlogs? I love this video 😍 your office looks so peaceful! Goals! And it's great to see your progress with your videos, your confidence is really shining :) can't wait for more ❤️
Beautifull like the rest of your home, its like something out of a vintage magazine, my mum has the same machine but its far too heavy for her to use now but she keeps its as a keepsake as it was her mothers, lovely enviroment to work in thanks for sharing it xxx and good that Blondie got a lookin too xx
iam so happy n excited you answer me! yes I do paint all my stuff too,I refurbish furniture so I have some nice pieces.i had a huge collection of tea pots and now it's gone,,but you have beautiful ones. iam from n.y but now living in virginia for almost a year..my dream is to go to Ireland. one day..thanks. blessings.
Good UA-cam instructors that I love are Anita by Design -she does step by step beginner friendly sewing of A-line skirt and other dresses, also Brittany J Jones and Crafty Gemini!
I love your home decor something that belong in a lovely story book! Btw you can check out channel I make sewing tutorials and dresses are my favorite to make!
Hi I'm a new subscriber. I love your style and decor. Have you seen 'SewOverIt'/ Lisa Comfort vlogs? It would be right up your street as she makes amazing dresses. X
I would so LOVE to do my house like yours but my husband would hate it. He doesn't care to see that much feminine. A touch here and there is his limit. So When I see yours, I just fall in love because when your husband doesn't share the same likes, you have to compromise.
