@@stevezytveld6585 LOVE IT!!
Would love to see part 2!!
Absolutely interested in a Part 2!
Yeh for sure I'm interested in Dogs! Recycling! Free shit! and whatever the others were. I wish I could patronise all my favourite creators but I could do with some patrons myself at the moment
You’re Shannon *Makes,* not Shannon *Sews,* so don’t feel restricted to only making sewing content.
So true, that's actually exactly why I chose that name, in an attempt to not pigeonhole myself, but then I end up doing mostly sewing videos, because that's what does the best on the channel 🙈!! Thank you 💙
Totally agree!
Make, make, make! Whatever your heart desires because it is all interesting and I love those kinds of videos!
I LIKE listening to you ramble on. 😄 So yes, please, to part 2. Don't leave us hanging.
Shannon , I would be so excited to have this extra content!
I would love interviews with your circus friends and their outfits!
Thank you, noted!! 💙🎪💛
Yup - this would be great: perfect crossover of two funky areas of your world! E.g. favourite / most hated costumes ever and why; examples of circus-specific sewing tricks (i.e. the things you mention here, but with some visuals of what they look like in practice); who else makes circus outfits? (are there professional companies that do this, or do venues have their own costumers, or do the majority of your colleagues make their own?); have circus colleagues asked you to make costumes for them?; have you ever considered this as an additional income generator (if not, why not?); how much do performers get to choose their own costumes vs. how much is pre-determined by the requirements of an overall 'look' of a production? etc. Idle curiosity on my part, but super interesting! ❤
@@BeMoreBarnaby ooh, hadn't event hough of the best/worst costumes aware (boy howdy do I have some bad costumes in my past, not by my own choice)!! Great ideas, love them, thank you and keep them coming!!
@@BeMoreBarnaby I'd watch that!
Totally agree!
"Being good at someting isn't about never making mistakes, it's about picking back up and figuring out how to keep going." Yes! Well said! Congratulations on 40k 🎉
Thank you! And thank you!!
@@ShannonMakes I call these learning experiences, not mistakes. Sometimes, a "mistake" turns out to be cool, then, I call it "serendipity".
Many years ago when I worked as the sewing room supervisor for a major lingerie manufacturer, I would sometimes complain about having to rip something out to redo it. One of our pattern makers would always remind me "As ye sew, so shall ye rip!" It was a lighthearted reminder that mistakes happen and the world won't end.
Part 2 would be great, I started sewing at age 12. I took apart old clothes to make new clothes because we were rather low-income. I am now almost 65 and love seeing you sew with such fearlessness. I was always afraid to make a mistake.
Aww, thank you, so glad you're enjoying the content and the fearlessness!
Fearless is the perfect description!
Same for me. Started sewing as about 12 because I wanted to have more clothes, and it really did cost less to sew. Fast fashion broke me about two years ago, hated all the clothes that didn't come from the Thrift store. So, at 69, I've picked it back up, and, Shannon has been a major inspiration. And, FINALLY, my clothes actually fit.
I love your content, you have a bit of a kind of mad inventor vibe, in the most positive possible way! Like you experiment and investigate and its so so creative, it's refreshingly different from similar creators.
awww, why thank you for the lovely comment... I love the mad inventor vibe, that's fantastic!! 🫶
I agree!😍🤓💪
The two moments that got me hooked on your adventures were
1. The circus test of a corset
2. The comment about the people you got scraps from for your hobbit coat (the whole thing was fascinating but the community/life thing was it)
Your videos make you seem quirky, relatable and unique.
I will say your work life balance is intriguing... Especially because you have to add the third job...just staying physically fit
Thank you!! Glad you're enjoying the content, thank you for watching and being intrigued!!
I don't think Shannon is quirky I think she is very normal. People think I am a bit excentric or hippyish. I think history bounding is romantic. Maybe it became popular because we need more romance in our lives. ❤
Bring on the Circus 🎪 Bring on the monkeys 🐒 🙈 🙊 Bring on the sewing, the DIYing, the house renovations! So here for it all!!! 🎉🎉🎉
🥳🥳🥳
Absolutely agree with your point on historical sewing. I love watching the content and keep thinking of what I would like to make - a medieval kirtle? A Victorian ball gown? - but I keep arriving at the conclusion that I want to sew clothes I can wear in my daily life. We can still learn from history, things like techniques or style ideas or how to wear and treat clothes in general :)
Yessss, 1000%!!
Well, for me a medieval kirtle, if a bit shortened and short-sleeved, since I live in the Tropics, would be a perfectly usable daily dress.
I love the idea of interviews around circus costumes! That would be amazing.
I would also love in-depth discussions of the costumes you have made or wore before and how they are made and why. That is fascinating and has implications outside of circus costumes, I think.
Thank you, noted! 🫶
I would absolutely love a part 2! Also, I absolutely love your channel. I love that you mix things up, show your mistakes and how you rectify them. Absolutely love all the ideas that you put out and the ones you settle on. Whether it's sewing, circus, knitting, history bounding, Canale, dumpster diving, fabric shopping, it's all a definite tune in for me. Interestingly I am 64 and absolutely can't wait to see what's on your channel, you are a huge inspiration to me. Keep it going.
Also, I absolutely loved that blouse in this video, did you make it?
Wow, so glad that you're love the videos, that's super rewarding and satisfying to hear 💙💜💙 And yes, I did make the blouse, and it might feature (in small part, at least) in an upcoming video... I really needed some sleeveless shirts for the summer, because I rarely wear sleeves in full-out summer heat, so I made it (but ironically made it during a several-day-long power outage due to freezing rain/ice storm 🥶🤣)
Crowd chants ::vintage patterns! vintage patterns!::
lol thank you!!
I would love to know more about how you adapt patterns to make them work for circus performances xx
Thank you, noted! ❤️🎪💛
YES!
this is an awesome video, a week in your life video would be quite interesting, interviews with people on what performance wear needs would be very interesting and could be of beneficial to individuals who may wish to wanting to get into that niche. of course, pooch content is always a bonus
Thank you! Love hearing what interests you, and taking notes on everyone's opinions! Pooch content IS always a bonus, gotta love the pupper! 🐶
I thoroughly enjoy your videos. You inspired me to try sewing clothes for myself again!!! I knit, crochet, patchwork and quilt AND I dipped my toes into historical costuming, so your content makes me soooooo happy ❤
Oooh, that's a very fun mix of fiber crafts you've got going on, no wonder you like my videos!! Thank you so much for watching
Would love an occassional Day in the Life vlog style even without a routine!
Aww, thank you! It's noted!
I found you only recently due to your newest challenge: The House! Old architecture and trying to maintain or rehab said old architecture, especially when you do your best to be environmentally responsible is very interesting to me.
😹😹I have been sewing since I was around 7-8 years old, I am now 60 years old, I still make mistakes, some of them so basic you end up slapping your face🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♂️🤷🏽♀️ 😹😹anyone who says they don’t have mistakes are not learning.
Lol like you have spent my whole life learning many different crafts, I have thus burning need to always be busy.
The only way to never make mistakes is to never try anything new.
Yeah, hitting ones head over sewing left to right or something 😅😂
Your grandma’s machine! Looks like the 301a slant needle i got as a graduation gift in 1976. Mom had a black one from 1952 For her own graduation. No zigzag but it never jams!
Well, from the list of places you've travelled to for work I just realized that I may have already seen you in person 🥳
You're such an interesting person, thank you for letting us get to know you a bit more!
Part 2? yes, please! Video on vintage patterns? Also yes, please!
Thank you, noted! 💙🎪💛
This was a delight! I really appreciate hearing your insights and learning more about the things that drive you. I love listening to people talk about the things they're passionate about - it fuels my own motivation to make things and inspires me to keep moving forward! A part two would be most welcome ^_^ Thank you for sharing a bit about yourself with all of us, and congrats on 40k subscribers!
Thank you! So glad you enjoyed listening, and hearing that it helps fuel your own motivation is fantastic! Love that!! Thank YOU for watching and commenting 🫶
Shannon, the thing you bring to the UA-cam experience that NO other sewist has, is your circus work. I get being anxious about spending time on a product that doesn't make views/money, but it feels like it would be smart to take advantage of the thing that makes you utterly unique among UA-cam sewists. You really do bring something great to the table, so capitalize on that, both economically and creatively.
Makes sense, and it does seem like it'd make me stand out, but at the same time, if no one comes for the circus content, it's still a time sink (I say, having had friends start circus YT channels only to see them bomb). There's surely a way to integrate it, but needs to be well thought out, I feel!
I think it is fascinating to se bits of life from other peoples perspective. The crafting content is *chef's kiss* and it is what made me click on that first video, but what you chose to share from your day to day life is very ~exotic~ 😄to an inveterate homebody like myself.
I also started sewing because of want of a garment, much later in life but still. I was taught the very basics at school, but did not do anything else until I really wanted a nice skirt that actually fit me. And your sewing learning seems exactly like mine to be honest, the internet is a sewing library rigth at our fingertips!
On another note ..two full time jobs seems like a recipe for burnout in the long run. Take it from someone that is still working on getting over burnout 5 YEARS after the initial crash. It is really not worth it, at all. The medical community know very little about how to fix the damage caused by chronic stress, the approach is 'get plenty of rest and pray that your brain and body is capable of reparing themselves'. I crashed pretty damned badly for little to no real gain, and now I can't really help but want to warn others about how serious effects burnout migth actually have. It is brain damage. If you are lucky, your brain heals to full fuctionality. If you are unlucky your brain has taken permanent damage. Avoid at all(most) costs.
aww, thank you! glad you enjoyed it, and that you keep coming back to other videos that are slightly less *crafting content*
Have you thought about “historical” circus clothing? In terms of something you could perhaps actually use but would also have a vintage/historical vibe?
I would definitely like to make some historical circus clothing, and it's on the list for sure, but it's a bit lower on the list because unfortunately I would never actually use it, as it's quite impractical for our actual performances 😢 Have started looking into it and examining extant examples where I can find them though!
It always impresses me so much that you manage a job as a professional free-lance performer on top of your UA-cam content. Those are two really hustle-heavy jobs.
Also, as someone who loves sewing but is chronically ill and also on a very tight budget, I always appreciate how mindful of expense you are and also that you make things that can be easily worn day-to-day. This kind of practical yet historically themed sewing is such and inspiration to me and it's also a relief. I love watching people sew full 19th cent ball gowns, but there is no way I can afford either the money or the effort it would take to make something that involved, especially as I would never wear it. Because of this, if the only content I see is like that it can feel isolating and very frustrating. So, I hugely appreciate the makers who focus on the potentially less flashy but more practical projects. I not only enjoy your content, but videos like yours also help me to feel OK watching the big-budget makers as well because I no longer feel excluded, just that I am choosing to focus my energy on other equally valuable things.
(Also, I would love to see a Part 2, fyi :-) )
Why thank you, I'm glad that you feel like you can connect with my content in a different way than with other creators, and that it helps you to enjoy the fancier content!
(I admit, part of me was like, "dang, well I want to be a big budget maker too" but also, let's be honest, while I could technically afford the fancier stuff, I probably wouldn't feel good using it for a frivolous costume😭😭)
I would love to occasionally do bigger, fancier projects --maybe not entire ball gowns, but you know, something more than a blouse and vest-- but they'll most likely be very few and far-between the more practical makes
@@ShannonMakes Oh, for sure. I remember you saying you were looking into Victorian tailoring technique and that would definitely require significantly more than a $20 budget (and I'm very keen to see where that goes, it sounds like fun). But seeing fun makes that use only a couple of meters of affordable fabric is also really nice - and so much of your content is like this so far. So, thank you!
you absolute star! you are the first person I have ever heard talking so matter of factly about neuro typical privilige and I like you even more for it.
Thank you, very glad it resonated with you. I think it's something that many people (mainly those who ARE neurotypical) overlook, or forget about, or aren't even aware of in the first place 😢
I don't know how I happened upon your channel, but have been binge watching it for two days now. I started at the house refurbishing and have been working my way backward. I love all of your content and creativity. I'm also a sewer, scavenger, thrifter and home refurbished along with many other talents. (No gymnastics though.)
You keep making videos and I'll keep watching.
Amazing! Welcome aboard, so glad you're enjoying the videos 💜💙♥️
Shannon “it’s a lot to juggle”. Also Shannon, “Hold my beer, I’m about to get even busier and take on a HUGE new project” 😅 You are a work horse! I love the house episodes and look forward to them every week.
I would love to see your vintage pattern collection!!
thank you 😍😍
I especially love to watch you sewing, designing, dumpster diving, gathering materials from the sidewalk and woodworking. You are so creative and inspirational. You make me want to do more. I'm limited because I have a bad back. God bless you my dear friend. 😊❤❤
Thank you, Connie, and so glad you liked the video! Thanks for the kind words!
I google everything and watch UA-cam tutorials ALL THE TIME. It's how I learn nearly everything craft-wise. I am a much more accomplished knitter than sewist, and even with a great deal of experience, I STILL google and watch videos about complex knitting techniques that I don't use on a regular basis. I found you through looking for "how to do" something sew-y! (I found your Hobbit Housecoat and OMG I totally want to make one..... ) I LOVE that you include mistakes. I'm all about learning from my own mistakes; in fact, being able to stay calm and patient and work THROUGH a mistake is a part of the reason I love craft - it is an excellent skill to cultivate - so it's very much about the PROCESS for me, although I love wearing/using my finished creations. BTW, I was an English major too!
Love all of this ⬆️ and relate to much of it (well, I'm a better sewist than knitter, but other than that, YESSS YES YES)! Definitely encourage you to try the hobbit housecoat, it's absolutely worth the effort, and a great use for scraps! And hey, any mistakes will just be learning processes, as you said!
I am here for all the circus. Don't be afraid to include it.
Thank you!! 🫶🎪
I would love to see your act. Circus is fascinating because it's a more unusual skill, looks darling and dangerous.😮❤
Please make a part two! This was really awesome to listen too while working on a project.
I have two questions to ask for you to perhaps ask your friends and colleagues. First, would you mind asking them to also share their stories about how they also got into the various acts and circus stuff? And second, is there like an age or perhaps some other factors that start to lessen your ability to continue working as an acrobatic/athletic performer that might be different than say other athletes or performers?
I also was wondering if you could share more about your “make journal” you mentioned and maybe show some of it and what exactly it all entails? It was just really intriguing when you mentioned it in one of your other videos where you made the new vest using the tightest and smallest budget possible? It just sounds like a really cool idea, and being a maker myself I feel like I might want to try something similar because it seems like it would be really cool to document all the various different things I make or do. But I am curious about what all you include in such an item.
And if you want to make a second video like this I would happily watch it, I always find it interesting and really awesome to kind of get to know the person behind the lense beyond the bit they share while making or doing whatever they are doing in the video at that moment. Thanks for sharing so much!
Wow I had no idea that editing takes that long! I have far more appreciation for your lovely videos now.❤
Thank you 😊💚 Don't worry, I think that many people aren't fully aware just how long it takes to get a video together (any aspect of it, from planning/scripting to filming to editing)... I think we consume YT without necessarily realizing how much goes into it --myself included, I'm not just pointing fingers at others here!!
I would love to learn more about circus costuming!
8:42 I don't feel for vlogs or a-day-in-the-life type of content, because I'm not interested in your private life =) And I say that out of respect and care for you. I don't think it's so good to show too much of one's life online, for mental health reasons if anything, and although I'm interested in a circus artist's and sewist's life per se, I'm mostly here for the nerdy sewing recycled fabrics content with honest commentary and cosy editing.
Loving your honesty about mistakes ! They are PART OF SUCCESS, not the opposite of it ! More people need to hear this !
I'm a performing artist too (musician) and yes, it's really not about not messing up. I know I WILL mess up, no matter how much I prepare beforehand. It's all about how one deals with the mistake, how one handles the mess ^^
32:41 Damnnn I feel that one ^^ "My life is chaos and everytime I [...] try to plan out a content calendar is goes to crap." Yep, yep exactly !
I still have that same old machine of my grandmas in a cabinet behind my couch!
You are just a joy to watch. I'll watch whatever video you choose to do. Love the Nova Scotia house. Can't wait to see what you do with it.
Thank you!
I have a circus coming to my hometown and I always think of you when I see the ads!
Oh, fun!! Hope you go see it if you're interested!
Wait, you're not a space pirate?
No, sorry. Just an internet cowboy 🤠
@@ShannonMakes "keyboard cowboy, cyber samurai" - Hackers movie.
I was thinking about your not having taken any sewing classes for your English major. I never learned any sewing at school which was highly unusual in my age group. Home ec was a required class that I thought was a complete waste of my time as I already planned, shopped and cooked for my fairly large family since I was 11 or 12. I started sewing in 4H at age 12. 4H sewing is competitive! But after not sewing for 40 years I forgot how to sew!! I got my mom’s old sewing machine and started sewing costumes! I relearned all about sewing on UA-cam! I love UA-cam for learn how to do things! Finally I did take a free class at my community college. I still think I should take a free intermediate sewing class but life has me busy right now (pattern making and sewing!). My major in college was Modern Dance with a double minor in Literature and psychology. I was in a couple of companies for 2 years after college. Then I figured out my career!
I personally would live to see more of your circus stuff. Fascinating!
Would love a part 2. This one gave me lots of ideas, going to roll three of your topics into me googling the difference between historical costuming and history-bounding to start 😊
Oooh, nice, that's a great start! Glad you're enjoying the videos --even the less purely crafting ones-- and thanks for watching!!
Being a good sewist means knowing how to keep trying to fix the mistake. Also a good sewist NEVER points out the mistakes.❤ enjoy your content.
LOL yea, true... although I'd extend that to say that a good *person* never points out the mistakes. Don't have to be a sewist to not be a dick 🤣🤣
I think interviews about sewing costuming requirements would be great.
Circus stuff would be great🎉 love your sewing, and of course watching you and Phil work on house.
I'm still catching up with your older videos. I really like all the different things you do. I have been wondering about the circus side of your activities. It seems like you have boundless energy and I am impressed with how you throw yourself into every project. Your Corgi is a cutie. Your thrifty nature falls right in with mine. I was raised on a farm and you had to watch every expenditure plus be very observant of your animals and crops. So I look forward to all your adventures.
I feel the same way about making something completely historical when I cannot wear it more often. I am working on figuring out history bounding for mr. 😊
I am wearing my bernadette banner pirate shirt rn, perfect for lounging and nightwear. Tho it is annoying to need to change my shirt if I suddenly de ide to go out. And I'll wear it to a medieval fair in a few months
Yea, I think the impracticality of the completely historical is just a big hurdle that many of us face, like: do we really want to spend our time, energy and money on something we might wear once or twice, maybe with friends, but maybe even not. Maybe just alone in a backyard for a few photos? I dunno, I'll enjoy it here and there, but not as the main focus of the channel!
@@ShannonMakes It makes perfect sense. I appreciate what you do with history bounding and, of course, I love the recycle/upcycle stuff you do!
Ooh definitely make a part 2….. your channel is so very interesting 🎉😊
Thank you! Will do!
What I like in videos. Getting the why. Watching someone sew a garment with no information is beyond boring to me. Maybe it will be visually great, beautiful edits, high production value. But if it doesn't include the decision making, why something was done a certain way, who cares.
Yup, that's fair!
I work in theater tech, and part of the magic of a live performance (for me) is the mistakes. There are plenty of shows I've done that I barely recall now, but I'm never going to forget the performance that one of the actors had to keep running off stage to be sick, or the time when an actor hung up the phone on set, only to have it fall off the wall.
Or that time when Phil came on-stage shirtless because he mis-interpreted his cues, and didn't have time to put it on, and we did the act with a very, very sweaty partner 🤣🤣
Shannon, a part two would be wonderful. The thing is, I came here to see your sewing content, but return for each new video because you are so candid about yourself and your process. We, out here in watching UA-cam land, begin to feel that we know you and that you are a friend. Thank you for sharing yourself with us!
Thank you 😊😊Thanks for watching!
Hi Shannon. I would love to see more of your circus costumes. I'm also interested in quilting and african Canadiens.
Would love to see a series about the circus costumes with your friends and colleagues - that sounds fascinating!
Thank you, noted! 💙
Part two, patterns, circus - I want to see them all! Maybe not a day in the life of a circus performer but maybe this is how many hours a week I do this, this is how many hours a week I do that and give us an example of each.
I vote for the series of interviews with other performers about all the different costumes
Thank you, noted! 🫶
With regards to interviewing friends and their experiences, you could see if Phil (sorry if this is spelled incorrectly) would be willing to go through a few things and maybe where mens' and womens' costumes need to differ depending on the performance?
Yea, I could definitely try to talk to him... I don't know if he'd have that many thoughts on it, lol, but I'll probe him 🤣
I would definitely like to see the part 2 video. I originally came to your channel to see the sewing content. However I continue to watch because I enjoy your cheerful presentation.
Aww, why thank you! So glad you stuck around and that you're enjoying all the various videos!
Hi Shannon. I would be very interested in your life in a week vlog. And your wave makes me smile. Always be nice and weird at the same time!
Thank you!! 🫶👋
I came to your channel for the sewing but would love to see behind the scenes of Circus stuff. Seems so interesting!!
Why thank you!!
Loved the bit where you got to the How Did You Get So Good?! section and the answer was literally just "This is skill built of a hundred screwups!" Also learning from google and UA-cam.
I grew up with my mum sewing all our clothes, but she died when I was very young and then we were sent to our grandmother - who also sewed, but was a terrible person. So I either forgot everything mum taught me, or repressed the hell out of it because [[woo! unpaid child labour in my grandmother's uniform shop!]] ... reasons. And then a few years ago, I just got so, so sick of the horrible fast fashion crap I could afford and taught myself to sew again through a combination of fuckups and youtube lol It's a good feeling, having clothes I actually like and it feels like something my mum would have approved of :D
Also, I've had a playlist of your videos running in the background while I was working on a coquelicot skirt, so thank you for the company :D And best wishes with the house! Ended up listening to those all out of order, alas, but it's a lovely old place, and from what I've seen you've got the determination to work through its challenges :)
I would love to watch a lil weekly vlog thingy if you ever felt like doing that
Awww, thank you! 🫶🎪
I would love to see more circus content. I love the idea of the interviews with other performers about costuming.
Thank you! 💙💜
Ooooooo vintage sewing patterns❤
I love your channel. Thanks for letting us get to know you better.
You're very welcome, thank YOU for stopping by to listen!
You are very interesting Shannon. Does your dog do tricks?
Yes, tour of vintage patterns please.
So excited for part 2.
🥳🥳🥳
You are so much fun to watch and listen to! I absolutely would love a part 2 and regular circus videos as well. I hope you have a wonderful day and get a lot of positiv feedback
Thank you, Runa, for the lovely words and input! Keep your eyes peeled, then, for a potential Part 2!! 💙
I think the fact that you have so many varied interests and so many activities that you do in a day shows. Since you've described that you do have quite a wildly varying day every day it kind of explains why your videos are varied. I like the fact that one will be about circus and one will be about the dog and one will be about arranging a space and one will be about sewing. As varied as your life is, so are your youtube offerings. I like them all, I like them mixed, I like them when they're only about one thing. Keep on doing what you're doing and keep us guessing. It never occurred to me that this show was about sewing only after "meeting" you.
That's a very interesting and good point, actually, and somehow I had never thought about it like that! Thank you!
Yes please I would like to see more of your circus routine. You are a great inspiration!!
You should check out my Vlogmas series, there is lots of circus in every episode ;-)
Yes I love sewing, but would love to see what your circus life is all about. Yes to all those costume ideas.
Thank you, and your input is noted! 💙
It always happens, answering questions elicits more questions. Mine is, are there people who freelance at sewing costumes for circus performers and if so, is that something which you might enjoy doing when you are no longer performing yourself? It seems like you have amassed a great deal of specialized knowledge.
I learned so much! Thank you for doing this. It may not get as much traction as some of your crafty videos, but there's a good group of us that appreciate it. ❤
Aww, thank you!! 🫶🫶
I am only 1 minute into the video, but would just like to agree that yes, a separate video about your sewing patterns would interest me very, very much! I never sew with vintage patterns and I am curious to see what they look like and what you like about them / how you use them.
Thank you, and noted! 🫶💙 (although I will say that I haven't actually used many of them yet, just FYI)
I love all of your videos, am always learning from them and getting new ideas.Keep doing it your way.
Yes please, a part 2!
noted!!
If you ever come to cologne - please tell us 💜 I would love to visit a show you’re a part of 💜
Aww, we were there with Roncalli and the Höhner band in summer of 2017! No plans to return in the near future though 😩
Great interview.
It’s so cute the way you say, “Y’all”.
Thank you! A part 2 would be great
You're welcome, so glad you enjoyed!!
Thank you for the video. A part 2 at some point would be great.
Thank you very much for sharing. I have loved watching your other posts and I am just blown away by your creativity and gung-ho attitude. Thank you for your beautiful spirit.
Thank you!
This was so interesting! Thanks fir dharing, looking forward to the next psrt!
Thank you, you're very welcome, and thank YOU for stopping by to listen!
Thanks!
Thank YOU for watching, and for your generosity and support! 💙💜
Thank you for sharing! Fascinating!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I love every aspect of your channel and look forward to each new video!
Aww, that's very sweet, thank you!
I'd watch any thing you post. I personally like longer videos. I don't care about lighting or perfect angles. I'll watch sewing, circus, day/ week in the life. ❤ I've only found you foods a few weeks but i love your content.
Thank you 🥰♥️
Yes to part 2 ! And circus content !
yay, thank you! Noted! 🫶
Thanks for a very interesting and enjoyable video. I love listening to people passionately talking about things that interests them. Please make a part 2.❤❤
Aww, thank you!! So glad you enjoyed it 😊😊
When making adjustments to patterns it helps if you have a mind that sees in shapes. It’s really geometry.
True, that definitely helps, but there are so many good YT tutorials out there that I honestly believe that even if you're garbage at geometry, you can work it out. It just might take a few tutorials to find the one that speaks to you
Yes, a tour of your vintage patterns.
Noted!!
Am not sure if your energy inspires me, or wears me out just watching you in action! I guess the first, because I keep clicking!
This was really fun, you are incredibly entertaining, so thank you for doing this ☺️👍
I am so glad that you find me just blabbing away entertaining, and you're very welcome!! 💙💜 thanks so much for watching! :-D
Enjoyed this!!
🥰🥰🥰
Definitely would love to see part two!
I spent this video cutting out a sewing pattern, so it made that arduous task much brighter!
Thank you! I'm glad you were able to distract yourself for at least some, hopefully all, of the cutting process!! ✂️
You are great , more exciting stuff to come I’m sure! ❤
Thank you! 💙💚💛❤️
I also love that your channel is eclectic - keeps it fresh and opens my eyes to new things. 👍🏻 🥰
Awww, love that... it's purely selfish, though. I think I'd get bored always doing the same thing! 🤣
Very happy to have found your channel ❤
I'm so glad! Welcome aboard and thank you!!
Waiting for part 2
Loving all your content!! It's all up my alley. I crochet, sew, do remodeling, woodworking, recycle, upcycle and love old homes. Love the circus content too! Loved seeing you perform! It's amazing!!!
Thank you!! 🥰🥰
