    As the proud daughter of a late master quilter, my tip of the day is- the needle thread needs to go under the foot.
    Don't ever worry about calamity around the Pam Fam. We love you and will follow you through all the highs and lows. You're real, relatable, humble, and just a wonderful human. This video is reckless abandon at its finest.

    I have been sewing for over 50 years and I have NEVER seen anyone pick up a sewing machine and turn it upside down! I thought I would never stop laughing! BTW... paper really, really dulls sewing stuff. To change your crafting life, try 90 (14) - for medium to heavy weight work, and 100 (16) or 110 (18) for really heavy stuff. (This would be the voice of experience!) Someone suggested leather needles. They would fall in the 100 - 110 category. I think the ones you are using are 70 (10). They are for silky, soft, flowy fabrics. I love your stuff and have used many of your ideas in the journals I've been making for family and friends. Thank you for not giving up!

    “A person who never made a mistake never tried anything new.” (Albert Einstein.) Your right up there with the greats, Pam. This was absolutely a fun video and a good learning one too. I would much rather see someone make mistakes and own them, than a "perfect" tutorial. Hugs from Oregon.

    I'm clearing out my yarn collection and really needed a laugh! That little knot on the back of the journal is called 'a sweet little mess' and it's a highly technical term. I laughed so hard I was snorting, crying and trying not to wet myself all at the same time. Now there is one thing missing from this video - the non-sewing version. That would be the cherry on top of the laughter sundae! Many, many thanks for all your videos and your wonderful sense of humor!
    PS: You could journal your thoughts on this adventure next week to keep us in stitches :)

    Oh Pam, I've loved watching you for awhile now and love every second of your time you share with us, but today you had me crying with laughter at how absolutely brilliantly comedic you are when you want to just go with it. I love you even more so now...please, for all that is good in this world, please never ever change, we love you exactly as you are. ;)

    Hello Miss Pam! I think this is an extremely valuable crafting video, especially for new crafters. Watching the thought process as you work from idea to a finished craft is where the value of the video resides. For a beginning crafter, it wipes away the idea that knowledge and skill is a necessity to start. Obviously you possess both, but this video shows us that creating is a challenging process for everyone. I'm thinking it should take away some of the fear newbies bring to their own creations.

  • @anntowle1706
    @anntowle1706 2 роки тому +3

    I love that you are comfortable enough in your own skin to take an idea and go through the entire process in front of your audience. When I craft I often take things apart numerous times because something doesn't go like I imagined it would. Watching your creative process is wonderful. You are a pleasure from your crafting to your doggie voice.🙂

  • @RColleen1
    @RColleen1 3 роки тому +21

      Yes, sort of a female version of Bob Ross. No mistakes....just happy little accidents. 🥰👍🏻 And when one has the talent to bring joy into the world who is to say that's a bad thing? Keep the chuckles coming... 🥰

    @taraperkins9510 3 роки тому +35

    Absolutely love it!!! It doesn’t matter if the second one was a little harder. It is perfect!!! There’s never mistakes in homemade junk journals. A great teacher is one that shows everything!!! Thank you so much Pam I really enjoy your channel. You’re such an amazing artist and you inspire all of us to push ourselves just a little bit more with every video you make. I love drinking my coffee in the morning while watching your videos. It’s the absolute best way to start my day. Again thanks for everything!!!

    When you start sewing, I think the upper thread needs to be tucked under the foot before bringing it to the back. That way the thread won't catch and hold the feed dogs from advancing the journal . I love your videos! You are the awesome art teacher I never had!!!

    In clothing, there is a thing called “turn of the cloth” which is the amount of cloth needed to make the fold. If not calculated into the design at the beginning, other pieces won’t fit. The same is true for paper. Sewing one line at the center back, then trimming the edges, will work. Sewing two lines at the same place 1/8” apart, will create a nice fold.

    God bless you!!!!! You know your machine now!!!!!! I've sewn 15 pages without any problems, but you really went the limit with your little journals. Pam, I LOVED watching and listening to you and Girl, you earned your snack today for sure!!!!!! I could not stop watching!!!!!!!!! Try journaling with an ink pen on the sideways pages. It works great! Or a small tipped marker works on a book page. I love writing on book pages. Keep up the GREAT work Pam!!!!! Love your videos!!!!!!

    ❤️Thank you for this! It’s good to know that you too sometimes struggle. Now I don’t have to try those particular techniques unless I want to!!!!! It’s crazy though, I just finished a sideways book page journal with your hair conditioner faux leather cover! Thank you for sharing!

    Oh Miss Pam, this may just be my Fav video so far. And a prime example of why I don’t use my sewing machine. Thank you for the laughs. But more importantly, showing us how to keep pushing forward. I would have gotten frustrated and given up. You have helped encourage me💖

    Pam this is the best video I have ever watched because I sew the same way. i watch this over and over and laugh myself silly. YOU ARE SO GENUINE AND REAL AND I LEARN A LOT FROM YOU. pLEASE NEVER STOP MAKING VIDEOS. You take all the stress out of me making videos. IT IS ONLY PAPER RIGHT!

    Oh my gosh Pam! You are a hoot! The part where you were sewing...trying to sew the X in the center of that second journal... I laughed so hard, that I almost peed my pants! And then at the end when you finally gave it up and started laughing! I smile and laugh all the time watching your videos, you are just the cutest! And I so love your sense of humor! You outdid yourself today though! I haven't had a whole lot to smile or laugh about lately, but I always look forward to your videos, because you are such a ray of sunshine, just like that cute little puppy of yours! Thanks so much for the great content and for being you! I have such a good time watching! Thank you Pam! :)

    You are a gal after my own heart, “research” experiment, always a worthwhile trip. Just make sure you’re using your own equipment, so you don’t have to replace a batch of someone else’s needles or worse, a whole bobbin assembly! I once sewed right into my right index finger! That meant an ER trip but it’s not the worst thing I’ve ever done to myself! LOL!! Anyway, you are great fun. Thanks 🙏🏻

    Pam,
    You make me so happy when you laugh.
    I SO need a sewing machine like this one you have. It's way easier, just watch you do it, to use. The bobbin that always gives me grief and a self threading needle hicky ma do ! I have so many things that need to be sewn clothing wise and then paper's.
    Much Love my friend.
    Email Me again because I lost our conversation when I got this phone. It's in my SD card somewhere, but the new Samsung doesn't use an SD card! 😵 Never thought they would be like this, but dang them for doing it!
    Much Love x

    This video was absolutely delightful and exactly what I needed tonight. Thank you Pam for just being wonderful you. I think if you folded the pages and cover first, before sewing may help. This will show you where the pages want to land before forcing them to land elsewhere, creating bulge. Thx for showing us that reckless abandon is always fun and no matter what, it’s just paper. 🌷

    I have a “Calamity Box” of projects that just didn’t work out in the end, or the middle, or maybe even early in the beginning, but they all taught me something in the doing. They’re all uniquely wonky, I love them all and cannot bring myself to toss them into the trash. Every once in a while I pull one out, look at reworking it somehow, and often use it anyway . . . after the sting of frustration has worn off I kind of enjoy their witness to my thought processes. 😊

    😂😂😂😂😂😂 you crack me up Pam. The thing with the thread is called a " birds nest." If you grab the top thread and put it in between the slit of the presser foot then hold both bobbin thread and top thread down on to the machine bed at the back you will never nest again.🕊🦅

    Hello Pam 😊 I have been sewing for 40 years. I really wanted jump in there with you as I was watching. I really admire your persistent, positive attitude, ingenuity and problem solving! 🤓 may I suggest to you, start your stitching from the center out or glue where you are not sewing to help your papers from traveling. I wish you luck on your next adventure and keep up with your wonderful ideas. 🙃. Thank you for all that you share! Laura, Army and Marine Mom

    I loved this video! You are so awesome!! Just a little tip - when you are sewing through thicker material or multiple layers, adjust your stitch length to make it longer. It makes it easier for the needle to get through the layers. :)
