Does anybody know how she’s doing?
@@dcwatashishe has updates on her go fund me page, which can be found in the description of her video where she announced the cancer. She finished chemo though and I think it said she’s waiting for a surgery to see how effective it was. 🩷
@@dcwatashiit's so hard only seeing these videos, I'm wondering how dear Evelyn is too. I hope she is doing ok and knowing we're all thinking of her ❤❤
@@oliviaknight1123 I thought she was gonna have somebody posting these pre-recorded videos, and at least giving us an update
I’m sure many of us are concerned for Evelyn’s health during these months following her revealing video. I pray for her during this very difficult time in her life. She is a precious soul.
Each new project is struggle-struggle-struggle-DING! New skill aquired! And with each new skill we learn, the easier it is to learn the ones that come after.
Thinking of you and wishing you all The best in your treatment.
Evelyn, your approach of learning specific skills and building on them to move forward has helped me so much over the years, in my sewing work. I have gained so much from listening to your friendly, calm, happy videos, and thank you for all you do. I hope things are going well for you, and that you're feeling ok.
Those perfectly matched stripes make me happy. The welt pockets make me absolutely giddy.
Sewing since I was 9 years old, I’m now 77. So appreciate your skills and ability to teach, I’m checking on your story. I had a breast biopsy last week and awaiting my results. My younger sister endured the process and is clear now for 20 years. I applaud your courage and strength and hope that I fair half as well. Best wishes to us both.
Your "how many 'things' in this pattern are new to me" method has been an absolute GAME CHANGER for my sewing journey! Just earlier today I was looking at a new Butterick pattern listed as "easy" that included button epaulettes, an invisible zipper, an waist tie, a statement lapel, and both woven AND knit fabric including knit neckband and armbands. I've only mastered two of those - none of those skills are individually hard, but i know that for me it's too much right now. Sanity saved! You're a gem 💎
And thank your for showing an example of how you can take the same pattern and make slightly different choices that result in a completely different garment. As a newbie sewist i am still learning how to visualize pattern possibilities, this is super helpful! 🤩
Wonderful idea to learn a few skills first then add . Less overwhelming! Wish I would have had this advice first.😊
I've pattern matched several garments. The key is pattern matching before cutting out the pieces (lots of pinning). And lots of pinning before beginning to sew seams... sometimes even thread basting to get some patterns to line up. ... But believe me! It's well worth the effort to get the results. Most people never notice but I know! And I stand a little taller with pride when I wear those garments. Sending lots of love 💖 from sunny 🌞 Arizona 🌵😷. Ps. Hope this comment finds you strong as we are all behind you.😊
Sending so many hugs, Evelyn. We love you. ❤
I have been sewing over 60 years but it has been a while since I did clothes and it was nice to be reminded to break patterns down so I can go aha I remember how to do that.
I love the way you designed all the stripe directions. The pockets look so unique.
Hope all is well with you Evelyn. I have you in my thoughts and prayers as you go thru this very challenging journey. Thank you for this video. Skirt is absolutely beautiful!
I love you so much for offering alooooot of free learning and information💜💜💜
To me, your videos are one the brightest part of my day! I am so thankful! It is not only your sharing of amazing skills, it is also how agreeable you are, the nice aesthetics of your videos… and so much more!
I stumbled on your site recently as I've restarted sewing after a 10 year hiatus and wanted some tips. And just today I saw your video from 4 months ago regarding your diagnosis. It looks like you've *just* finished you neo-adjuvant course of therapy. Congratulations! I can't imagine what a relief that must be. I just wanted to leave a note to wish you a good recovery and hopefully your upcoming surgery will be as uneventful as possible!
Helllo Evelyn looking glamorous ss ever and more importantly, upbeat and chirpy. You teach more than sewing, do you know that?
You teach me - consistency, patience, styling tips, signature style, being sunny no matter what the weather is like inside .
You are warmly respected by THIS subscriber
I love those pockets! Your videos helped me get through a couple of rough years. I'm keeping you in my prayers for full healing and recovery.
That red skirt is absolutely stunning 💞
Crazy?? The skirt is simply marvellous! 😍🌺🌹Thank you Evelyn, and I pray for your recovery.
EVELYN HEALTH UPDATE - I searched and found Evelyn’s Go-Fund me page. She has October 15, 2023 update saying she’s feeling good, but more treatment to go through.
I love the way you put the stripes on the pockets. I never thought about breaking down sewing into "skills" but it makes such sense. I teach an occasional class for beginners and I will remember the way you described the differences from simple/beginner to advanced. Thanks and hope you are feeling well. I've been thinking about you❤
Wow, I think I’m going to be a little more adventurous with my sewing. Thanks
Bless you Evelyn, we need you. We’ll keep up the most positive vibes for you till you’re through this torture. Love you to bits ( from an icy cold Country Victorian )
Love the welted pockets. Each time I learn a new skill I often work it in to an old project, giving the old garment a new life! Sending you 🤗
Just read your health update (Sept). I'm welling up over the good news, and yet understand there may be a bump in the road ahead. Wishing you continued healing, and in the mean time I'm re-watching some old videos (incl. the ads).
I’ve never thought about it that way before, but progression of skills makes perfect sense. Thank you Evelyn!
your content has been so crucial in motivating me and helping me to become a better sewist. thanks a million, from canada ❤
Wonderful. Thank you for continuing to put these out. I hope everything is going well for you. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Remember there are many of us here that have gone through life changing events. I know that I would be happy to listen or whatever you need. Sometimes it is easier to talk to a stranger than a close relative. I am here anytime. Julie
The encouragement and joy of the process you bring is beyond professional and delightful and people don't forget the mock ups
Bless you Evelyn! Even in your darkest hours you continue to share with us. Prayers for you that God continues to bless you.!! Praying that one day we’ll see you soon with an update on how God has blessed you.
Evelyn, the striped skirt is amazing. Your sewing talents are way beyond my abilities. Partly because I'm a lazy sewer. You inspire me to do better. Keeping you in prayer. 💞
Hello there! This video is very timely for me. 😊 I'm making a jacket over a sweatshirt and decided to sew my strips together, then cut the finished piece so the pattern comes together in the back in a chevron from shoulder to waist and in vertical stripes below the waist. Thank you!!!
On a personal note, I've been following you for about 4 months and I find you to be an inspirational teacher and person. I'm praying for peace and strength for you. With warm regards, MarthaLee (in Virginia, USA)
I hope you are doing well. I haven’t been sewing lately but have thought about you so thought I’d pop in here and wish you the best. Take care and God bless.
I’m getting back into garment sewing, and this advice is so helpful! Thank you! Hope you are doing well❤️❤️❤️.
Love the stripy skirt but i've got to say the green blouse you are wearing is SO gorgeous too!!! It looks like an incredibly gorgeous and comfy silk garmetn
Thinking about you and wishing you a full and speedy recovery. ❤️
What a great design 😯💞 !
Love love your red white stripes skirt, extremely beautiful designed it's perfect.
What a perfect red skirt and the stripes connect and line up beautifully.
As a beginner, I'm definitely accumulating skills and am making sure I've done a pattern a few times to make sure I'm comfortable with it (say neck/armhole facings) so that I have the confidence to take on the next pattern with zips and buttonholes (haven't done those yet). Next up will be learning how to match plaids, etc. It's fun and exciting to keep making progress.
Thanks for the lesson in skill building -- you've given me a new approach to sewing, i.e. break it down and start with the "easier" version to learn a new skill, and then move to the next skill -- that makes sense to me and others too.
Gorgeous!
I hope you are doing well. Been a lurker for many years on and off, but lost my sewing mojo when the pandemic started.
My main challenge at the moment is fit. My body has changed as I’ve aged but I’ve always struggled with pants. I have quite a few mods to make every garment and they often conflict. Will try this process there by choosing one fit issue and perfecting it before moving on to the next issue + the first issue. Might be less crazy making than trying to get everything to work all at once! Blouse first, then skirt, then dress seems like a reasonable progression. Then shorts. Then pants. Thanks for this concept! Once I get a good consistent fit, I can think about adding skills. I already know a fair bit, but a wonky fit ruins the nicest finished garment!
Wishing you a smooth recovery and a return to good health.
Your videos are slowly convincing me to return to garment sewing. Thanks so much.👏
It was great to see you here when you posted this. Thinking about you and hope that you are doing well. ❤
Sending you healing and supportive energy
OMG!🥰 I love the welted pockets! I just added welted pockets to my list of learned skills! I've also recently learned how to make my own block pattern. The more skills I learn, the more I love to sew!
Excellent video teaching beginners a technical approach to garment sewing based on spiraled curriculum!
Thinking of you while you are going through treatment. I hope you are staying brave.
The pattern matching is brilliant! I don't think I have the patients to even try that much matching! It's a stunning effect and the welt pockets are the chief kiss.
I've not tried welt pockets and wouldn't with such a bold pattern but on something that wouldn't show minor problems. As long as the kids who asked me to make whatever needed them could justify it. I've found that I only ever leave my comfort zone for kids!
Such a great way to elevate a striped fabric, it looks fabulous
Evelyn, just want to tell you that you’ve been in my thoughts and I hope you are okay. Wishing you the best for your health and recovery. You are a gem! I’ve learned so much from you!
Thinking of you. ❤️
How are you doing Evelyn?,I think of you often and wish you a speedy recovery.
Hi Evelyn, just a note to say I hope and pray that all is going well . Sending prayers and love to you, Cindy
I have been sewing for a long time, has it really been 50yrs…..Anyway So I can really appreciate the skill involved to make this. You did such a beautiful job. When I go thrifting I can’t buy something if the plaid or strips don’t match. It troubles me.😚
Ha ha ha! I am like you (sewing for nearly 50 years, as well): Unmatched stripes or plaids irk me. I made a test jacket of wide block plaid and it still annoys me that I did not take the time to align the sleeves (it is okay, though, at the time the waistline was too short for my torso).
Hi. The skirt is amazing. Could i make it?. NOPE! Way beyond my capabilities. 😱. I hope you are keeping as well as can be. From average sewer Scotland . xx
welt pockets are fun and a great way to make the garments pop. Thanks for the video its great to see how to break things down. I hope you are well and I love that baseball jersey style shirt you're wearing in this one!!
Thanks. Your videos help break down the fear of even starting sewing because it seems so overwhelming. Off to watch the linked videos
Your work is beyond beautiful & awesome. I would love to be able to sew something like this. I too use stay stitching to help me keep it all together. Right now I’m just keeping it simple but like Evelyn said just keep building on those skills. Prayers continue for you and a speedy recovery.
@ Evelyn praying that this year you are better on your sickness I will pray 🙏🏼 that you come back ❤
Thank you ❤ I agree that as a beginner it’s best to focus on skill building
wow!!! So cute! Thanks for the skill collections, it makes it feel so much more doable :)
Thank for sharing
that skirt is so impressive!!
As usual...perfect...
That stripe matching skirt is a sight to behold!!! You take perfection next level ❤️🌟 I am sending up prayers every time I think of you, for your cells to fight like the best little soldiers they are🙏🏻❤️🩹 Sending you SO much love.
Lol it made me more discouraged about the skills I lack. But I will keep trying! Sending you blessings for a full and total recovery.
Hi Evelyn, I love your videos! I think you’re so talented and I wish I could sew as well as you do. I have used some of your advice and I hope you’re doing better!
I have been sewing for years but I still like to watch your videos to brush up on something or find a better way of doing a component. Am i correct in thinking you made facing hem to counterect the bias construction? I haven't done much sewing with patterns cut on the bias.
Love the skirt. I am not creative enough to create something so cute. But I love watching others creations. Thank you. Hope you are doing well. From Ohio. 🇺🇸 USA
I am sure if you take it steady you can create whatever you want!
Still thinking of you Evelyn, hope you are doing well.
Sending lots of Hugs Evelyn ❤❤❤❤
So beautiful, I love your new creation 😍. hope to create like this one too ☺️
I love the shirt you're wearing! What material is that? It looks soft and lightweight and so comfortable on you!
I would have difficulties with the exact positioning of the weltpockets but might be able to put the other parts together so that it looks nice. But I'm quite sure that the skirt would not fit me afterwards. The real difficulty for me is not the sewing but the fitting. Fitting the right hip curve wit this skirt.
Get better soon 😘
Love this video. I love the blouse you are wearing. You look great in it. ❤
Thank you Evelyn! You're a sweetie!
Great skirts.
I have been thinking of myself as an advanced beginner but you have made me realise how much I avoid pattern matching. Hate it! Definitely a gap in my skill set. Thank you for these videos. Love and prayers with you still Evelyn.
assembling the side seam of a pencil skirt and I hear Evelyn talk about pocket. Me: "I forgot my pocket! where did I put my pocket!"
Thanks for reminding me to add pocket!
I love how relatively easy it is to add pockets to skirt patterns. 😊
Hope that you are doing good and will be back soon ❤😊
Amazing job glad toseeyordoing well praying for you
The red skirt is to die for.
5:49 looking at the two skirts, the one on the left isn't hanging straight, whilst the one on the right is hanging straight. The waist line is level, but the center front is skewed. I'm wondering why as you said the basic pattern is the same on both skirts? 💖🌞🌵😷
you are in my thoughts, i hope you are doing well
Perfection!
Hi, how do you go from an idea to the sewing part? I mean what are the steps to do to make my own clothes ? from drawing the shape of clothe, measuring..? can you do a video about it? thank you
Evelyn i hope you are doing alright. I keep coming here to see if you have uploaded, but see you have not. I hope this means you are resting ❤ please know that we all just want you to be alright😊
I would certainly have failed the class. Being an observer would have been wonderful.
Miss you and send blessings for recovery.
❤❤ super
Pattern matching a tiny woven check linen pattern just about broke me. The sewing pattern isn’t one I’ll do again, but I keep the shirt in my closet because I worked hard on that pattern matching, darn it!
I usually “paint” the pattern from the fabric to the pattern paper where I want to match it, so it is easier to get it seamless… (no pun intended 🤪) Don’t forget that you might have seam allowances and to “ignore” them on your pattern matching.
I can do things like the pockets and the waistband and even a zip, but to me the issue is assebling it all, i get it wrong in where to start, what order and then i tend to get it all wrong and im not sure why
İ need this, but a dress or matching blouse
Praying for you.
Evelyn, just wondering how you’re doing? Love your videos and wishing you well.
Hope that you are doing good. One thing I miss is your videos where you redesign a garment. I would love a tutorial on how to change out elastic in the waistband
