You’re absolutely right - you don’t owe anyone here anything! Thanks for sharing when you have the energy and desire, I enjoy your upcycling tutorials! 💛🌻
Thank you and I"m trying to find solutions and looking into some things. I would love to have more time to do what I enjoy and one of those things is making videos for everyone.
Please do not worry and take as much time as you need. I will gratefully wait for each of your wonderful videos and tutorials. I have learned so much from you. Thank you for all your time and effort!
Life comes before utube and I totally understand. I love your style and the pockets they are all adorable. The more pockets the better. Thank you for all you do here.
GIRL !!!!!!! I stumbled across your video because of the word “pocket”. I love them. I can’t wait to see your other videos….but after chores lol. I’m always looking for ideas. Thanks for your honesty about video making. If you lived next door we would be BFFs. LOL
This was one of the best videos Sherry. I love it. I learn from you. So glad you posted, missed you but always check for new videos. Thank you for all you do!
Aw Sherry you need to do what's right for you. You create wonderful videos that are really helpful and inspire me in upcycling things. I've missed you but you sure don't owe us anything! God bless you and give your His peace.
Sherry, I love, love, love your channel! Great pocket ideas, and I like your teaching style. I am amazed that you don't have more views per episode, and I don't understand why. Please hit that LIKE button, people! Leave comments!
I totally understand needing to eat and pay bills. I used to blog and to do it well took time and energy. I need pockets when I dog walk during the warmer months but the rest of the time they are just a nice thing to have. I like the short sleeve made into a pocket a lot. I would rather watch less videos but better ones than a lot of mediocre ones, yours are always good.
Thank you and I agree, pockets are so nice to have though at times mine get things like grass clippings and twigs in them by accident (side effect of yard work)...lol
Oddly as I am not a seamstress or person who sells my creations but I am currently making about 5 different pockets and I have made multiple other pockets, no dresses, just a bunch of pockets hahaha - thanks I enjoyed this - thank you
I have seen some really cool projects done with just pockets so maybe there's hope for them...ha ha.. The article I linked shows them used in a different way I think if I remember correctly and I'm sure I saw them on pintrest.
I will miss your weekly videos. You're, by far, one of my favorite channels. I understand having to diversify. I have a full-time job and three side gigs. If you don't mind me asking, what's your "day" job?
Right now I'm reselling items on ebay and sewing for 10 to 12 hours a day. An average video tutorial can take 2 days to make. My poor gaming channel content cannot be made either. The last video was over 30 hours of editing and 25 hours of game play. You tube is very time consuming and I just don't have it to give right now but maybe in the future? I hope. I really love making the videos and enjoy the interactions with everyone. I love sharing things I'm passionate about. I don't know how you do full time plus side gigs. When I was younger I did work more hours and had boat loads of energy but now I have a neck injury and other issues and it makes it so hard.
@SherryJonesDesigns Thank you for sharing. I am sure a lot of people don't realize how much goes into putting together a video. I hope that things go the way you need them to. I've been in (financial) survival mode my whole life, so I'm always looking for ways to diversify. I just turned 59. I'm majorly burnt out, exhausted emotionally, mentally, and physically. It's no longer sustainable. I had to take a leave of absence (I work in a hostile, toxic environment and have been bullied and harassed for more than three years). I couldn't take it anymore. I didn't want to crash and burn. I need to find another day job because I can't go back there. I really wish it wasn't so hard to survive. I feel like I can't afford to be alive.
I'm so sorry. One thing that might help you is to think 'outside the box' that governing bodies have created for us. If it wasn't for having to provide a home for my son, I'd do van camping and camp hosting. I love gardening and visiting with people and don't mind roughing it a bit when needed....must be the farm girl in me...ha ha. It would be part time (seasonal) and I could travel the rest and just camp host.
I'm grateful for everything you share. You're an exceptional instructor. Your lessons have given me the confidence to actually start making my own upcycled clothes. If you decide to start a Patreon or paid subscription, I'd join. Thank you for the time you are able to share with us!
Oh, you are so sweet. Thank you so much for offering to join. If I ever do it again I will have a ton of stuff on there (patreon) that is extra tutorials and one on one coaching and conversations etc. I'm so glad I was able to bless you and I'm going to try and keep posting free content here for everyone. I know most people don't realize it but tutorials cost a lot of money on Etsy and I wanted to give them to people so they could save money and make their own garments or make money to help themselves and also to help the environment. It may just be a bit longer between postings but hopefully I can keep up and keep some content still coming. I also thought about lives as there is no editing there. We will see. Thank you again for your love and support.
such good information about pockets! I also enjoy seeing Catherine Anne's up cycling creations! I wish it was not so much work and time for you 12:48 to make utube videos, or that they paid you much, much more!!?? I am grateful for any videos you can make for us!
Have you ever tried making cargo pockets? I have made them. They are great at keep things in them when your are climbing, bending over a lot, and other movements. I like those gathered pouch pockets you showed us. Those would be cute on little girls dresses. Thank you for this video.
The main problem with the Discord was that it didn't have enough people yet and hadn't grown into a cohesive sense of community identity. Just like getting an Etsy shop going, or starting a UA-cam channel, sometimes it needs more cumulative work and sometimes it just needs to ripen. I have found another creative textile reuse group that's still in early growth but a bit more developed. I'll share a link with permission.
Perhaps you are right. It had well over 100 people on it though. I think the root of the problem was something else and something I can't fix. I'd rather not have the link here of the other Discord because I don't want to support something I haven't fully investigated but I appreciate the offer. Perhaps in the future if I get more time I will follow my original vision of Patreon with a Discord with contests and large prizes only available to Patreon users. I think the time for it was premature as I don't have enough content and time to do it at the moment and think I will make it a future goal for the channel.
I'm confident that you can succeed when you're ready to try anew. In the meantime, make stuff and pay your bills (and maybe film some b-roll) knowing that folks are rooting for you.
I have a question that is not so much about sewing as it is about your sewing room….how many square feet do you have in there? I have a 12x12 room and I find it way too small to store my stuff and sew in it too.
I think it is about 10 by 20. I did start with a 10 by 12 and it was too small mostly because I use such a large sewing table which I find to be something I cannot do without.
You’re absolutely right - you don’t owe anyone here anything! Thanks for sharing when you have the energy and desire, I enjoy your upcycling tutorials! 💛🌻
You are a great teacher!
Thank you so much and I hope to be able to continue making videos as I really enjoy it.
Thank you. I learn so much from you and appreciate you. Praying the Lord Bless you and your efforts and business. :)
Thank you so much!
There's that shirt that I love! Your personal life, family life and household responsibilities come before UA-cam.
We love you Sherry. Thank you for all you share witb us
I ❤ your videos and your candidness. I pray your troubles will diminish with speed and your days be blessed.
Thank you and I"m trying to find solutions and looking into some things. I would love to have more time to do what I enjoy and one of those things is making videos for everyone.
my husband just walked by and I told him, see, this is my favorite upcycle channel! ❤
Aw....you are so sweet! Thank you for the encouraging words.
Please do not worry and take as much time as you need. I will gratefully wait for each of your wonderful videos and tutorials. I have learned so much from you. Thank you for all your time and effort!

Really good info.
I took your advice and did a duster with sleeve pockets . Foto posted on upcycle clothing and creations fb . Thanks for the great tutorial.
Awesome!
Great video!

You are welcome. I haven't tried making cargo pockets but I have reused them from jeans.
Also, look on sewing patterns for ideas 💡, etc.
That is a great idea! Thank you!
