    Don't you dare thinking your work is "not so fancy", when you made that gorgeous fish jacket! 😢❤ I really enjoy the beautifully executed simplicity of your crafts. I'm a big fan of repurposing materials and working with what you already have. It's more eco and budget-friendly, and the restraints help spark creativity! Happy holidays! ❤

    I enjoy your sashiko videos greatly. Thank you for showing your projects. I learned about sashiko from your videos and I really love sewing the beautiful patterns. I made two little blankets for my daughter’s dolls and a needle book for me ,that I really love. My next project is going to be a bag to put my sashiko projects in while I’m working on them and so I can take them with me when I’m not at home. I have always loved sewing and I find sashiko fun and relaxing. Thank you for introducing me to this new process. I think I will love it for the rest of my life. I hope you have a wonderful new year.

    I picked up some sashiko supplies a few years ago because i wanted to mend and keep wearing my favorite denim jacket. I put that project aside but you have inspired me to pick it back up again. I found your channel a few days ago after picking up some sashiko stencils. Your welcoming beginner friendly videos are a joy to watch and have inspired me so much. I'm having fun practicing the stitches and love using my thread collection in a new way. I also love that you use thrifted items. I subscribed and look forward to watching more videos.

    OMGoodness I would have to go back o hat thrift store and check the other thread packets to see if there were more with the wool thread! Such a treasure. I wish our thrift stores had more sewing related items but the women in our area aren’t much interested in hand work like I am. I simply adore thrifting and repurposed items! I’d rather thrift shop than mall shop anyday. I love your channel and want to say your stitching is some of the best I’ve ever seen. Merry Christmas and look forward to seeing your videos in the new year. Blessings to you and your household. 💙👩‍🌾🪡🧵🎄

      @ definitely embroidery for me. The vintage crewel work, sweater collars, flowers on my coats, and shopping babes is what pops in my head immediately but wall hangings are an idea also. I’ve never used silk thread so unsure about those. My latest fav to make is the zoning!
