Absolutely share knitting with us! I both knit and sew so adding yarn to the roster can only make things even better :D
Omg, same. I couldn’t agree with you more.
Ooo I love the way the blouse turned out and the way it looks with the orange skirt. I'm looking forward to that video too!
I love the details of the buttons! So clever! I'm also really interested in the tape measure shirt you were wearing at the beginning and the end. So cute.
Wow! I learned so much about bound buttonholes (I've NEVER DONE ONE!) and your dogs are delightful! Thank you for talking me into a puppy!
I learned to knit as a kid in the 50s, but it never became a passion. I do, however, love watching Arne and Carlos as they "sit and knit for a bit."
I really like your channel, I have been following you since the beginning. You inspired me to learn basic fashion sewing. And you still have good new content to present. Please make more clips for us to see. because it is happiness
I really love your content. It's extremely relaxing as well as informative. Also, I would love to see you knit some vintage sweaters and cardigans to go with your lovely outfits.
Welcome back! It's so good to see you again. I love how you've styled a pretty niche novelty print in a way that feels wearable without having to go full kitsch from head to toe (though of course that has its charms too!). Your videos have started making me see so much more potential in patterned and textured fabrics that I might otherwise have passed by. As a fellow knitter, I look forward to any knitting content the future may hold.
I think knitting would be an interesting addition. There’s another blogger who does retro sweaters and I love to watch those.
Please share the name of that creator

It looks so beautiful! I love the dog print! I know that when I feel like I can’t change anything in the world around me I can get lost for a weekend in a sewing pattern. Thanks for your insight and great detail in your tutorials.
I'm loving the blue hair!!
So good to see you back. Thank you for being so honest about your mental health! Your strength in being open is so meaningful.
Yes please, share your knitting!!!!!!!! I love watching everything you do.
With hope and joy,
Audri
That shirt looks amazing and pairs so well with the orange skirt. GREAT JOB
Yay knitting! I both knit and sew, and there are great vintage knitting patterns to expand your wardrobe. Imagine a vintage ski sweater for winter!
So happy to see you back! I’ve missed your videos!! By the way I love the fabric and the blouse you made with it and of course the hair rocks!! 💖
I think 1940s styles look fab with your hair colors-it’s unique and a twist! Plus I love watching you sew 1940s styles, it’s a favorite decade of mine. Hang in there.
It‘s a great blouse! Also, i like „funkyfied“ vintage, so i hope you make more vintage pieces to go with your hair color preferences. It would be nice to see your knitting projects sometime. How about a twinset out of rainbow yarn? Anyway, happy to see you back on youtube and looking forward to the next video 👍
Share everything you make with us! Knitting would be great too:) You’re my favorite youtuber, and I’ve sewn like two things in my life. Just love your content and you always make such fun and lovely things. I miss the 40’s and 50’s stuff and I think you can rock the hair colors with it!
Love this blouse! The pattern reminds me of my grandfather in the early 60s when he had Bird Dogs and hunted Pheasants!
The bird buttons were so absolutely charming that I want to buy my own button-making supplies
The buttons turned out lovely! Please tell us all about your knitting and your yarn stash - I´ve fallen in love with knitting over the last couple of years, as well as collecting vintage yarns and browsing patterns... it´s so addictive! I would love to hear about what you have been up to with your newest obsession :D
I am really happy with this video, I enjoy everything you do and always learn a lot if things. In fact, I learned sewing from you. The first video I saw from you was the Cinderella Live Action dress and I watched everything you did ever since. I started sewing because of you and sewing is the best method to help me with depression and anxiety. So, I guess, I just want to say a big thank you to you. You helped me so much witch my mental health. And it hurts me that your own mdntal health isn‘t at a good place. I really hope you find som relief. I hope that things get better for you. You truly are an inspiration, not only sewing wise, I also look up to your views and thoughts, they align so much with mine. Love your content but if you need it, take your time. And come back when you are feeling better, with whatever project, it doesen‘t have to be big, a blouse is just fine :)
That fabric is so nostalgic! Reminds me of the prints my dad used to wear during the 1970s. He was particularly fond of horse prints.
Oh knitting is such a lovely hobby! And there are *so* many fun, free vintage patterns on the internet! I've been working from an 1890s crochet book and it's hard but fun. Now that I have my great, great grandma's hooks, it's easier (the names of hooks & their sizes have changed over time), so I'd love to know if something similar is true of vintage knitting!
I love the blue hair & the dog shirt of course! Love the cut. Button holes man, no thank you.
This year has been rough on the mental health for me too, ridiculously so. Glad you talk about it. Glad to see a lot more people talking about it to.
I don't sew, so literally everything you say is a complete mystery to me...and yet I find your videos absolutely fascinating! Will 100% watch you knit. Keep up the good work!
No matter what you're making, you've always been my favorite sewing youtuber and always will be!
The blue hair is *chef's kiss*
You look fabulous in 40's fashion. Don't worry about what others think. Wear what makes you happy.
I love that blouse! Thank you for all the videos you make. You may not know this but after watching your channel for awhile you got me back to sewing for myself. I stopped back in 2004 when I stopped working due to health reasons and got into quilting in a big way, as I didn’t need a work wardrobe anymore. Love all your videos and cannot wait for your next. Thanks Angela, stay well and keep on creating. Knitting 🧶 yeah, come on show us your stash and what you have made.
Welcome back! I would definitely be interested in knitting videos. A word of warning from a wool hoarder, buying wool without a project in mind will almost always result in you not having the right amount, color, or weight when you actually find a project. I went on wool buying binge in 2019, but due to budget and suitcase size limits I tried to only buy small amounts, now I have a box of wool that I don't know what to do with.
You've got so much talent and it shows in every garment you make. Your
so creative and a pleasure to watch and I always get a tip from watching you sew. I have recently taken up beading and like you I go whole hearted into a new craft and my sewing had been lacking but I am sure I will get to it again. I better because I have so much material. I would love to see your knitting. Thanks
I love the way it turned out! The dog framed pattern worked so much better then I thought it would!
I was a bit skeptical at first, too, because it seemed so big, but it is perfect!
The blue hair is nice on you. I've actually signed up for a beginning sewing class that starts in two weeks. It's great you know how to sew without following instructions.
this is the channel that I was looking for for vintage patterns construction. in the short amount of time that I've been watching, I have already had so many questions answered by you.
I just made my 1st form fitting 1950s dress and I'm surprised at how good it looks, I usually avoid more form fitted clothing but I think I need more 😅
Love how the blouse turned out!! I would never think to pair a gun dog fabric with it! I'd figured that would have been better suited to a men's shirt.
One of these days I'd love to see you do some vintage loungewear/sleepwear patterns! I've been eyeing several beautiful gowns and peignoirs and robes recently and would love to see them come back to life.
In the mid 1970s I fell in love with 1940s styles; it was very hard to find vintage patterns so I purchased a basic yolked button up blouse pattern. I made fold over cuffs for the elbow length sleeves (2 points) and sewed a large button on the cuff at the bottom. I used a 1970s fabric very similar to yours, except it was trees instead of dogs. I also teamed it with a rust coloured crepe skirt. Thank you Angela for the walk down memory lane. I hadn't thought of that blouse for years.
So adorable and it's always great to see you work even it's more of a "noobie" pattern!
Sorry to hear you've been struggling with MH lately ❤️
I love your clever sewing tips. They always help me improve my sewing so thank you.I loved this video.
I was recently rewatching your shopping trips antiquing and fabric hunting. They are my comfort viewing. 🥰
I actually like the contrast of historical clothes with colourful hair! It's fun and modern!
Yes! Bring on the knitting content! I've recently taken up crochet and one of my favorite things to do is work on a project while watching someone else work on their project ❤️.
I would absolutely loooove a closet tour of all your self made stuff!
Angela, I've been wanting to sew historical costumes and corsets since I watched you. I think I like a little more amazon women's style, but it's pretty enough to blend with them. Also, I didn't know that I was such a fan of corsets. Every job you do is incredibly beautiful and a work of patience. Thanks for your effort. ❤️
Love love this blouse! The style and the fabric is wonderful! I love prints from the 70's. The best era for fabric prints in my opinion.
What an adorable blouse! And it looks great with the orange skirt. Good to see you again.
I really like this blouse, especially the bird buttons. Very flattering. I like the contrast of vintage clothes with your bright hair and make-up, which brings to mind more of a tribute or homage to the era(s) worn than a straight mimicry.
Thanks for letting us know how you are. A knitting pattern and wool haul video would be lovely.
Omg! You’re back!! I’ve missed you So much!! Xxx
Please do share more of your knitting and occasional playing with your dogs as well, it's so cute. The blouse turned out lovely!
Those buttons are the cutest! And yes, share your knitting endevours with us!
Hello! I hope you have a cheery day. I finally finished up what I had to sew for today and get to sit with my feet up and hand quilt! I hope you have a wonderful week ahead! Thank you f or sharing your video!
I'm always amazed at how diligent and precise you are and how much you know about sewing!
Bring on the yarn!!!! I’d love to see yarn hauls and pattern hauls and other yarny plans. I crochet and have done so for years and I have an epic yarn stash. I’m always happy to see yarn. ❤❤
The blouse looks fabulous, and I particularly liked the bound buttonholes and those gorgeous buttons! Thank you for showing us so many little techniques - inspiring!
I really enjoyed this video. Vintage clothing from the 1930 to the 1950s are probably my favorite. This blouse turned out beautifully.
You pretty much taught me how to sew inte way way back and now it's one of my most defining interests (along with vintage knitting). Been wanting to try drafting some vintage blouses so this could not have been more perfectly timed!
Oh I got to the knitting part and YES! Show me everything! Now! ...Or at your earliest convenience. No pressure
I’m basically interested in whatever content you feel like putting out. I love the things you make.
Yes please more 40s would be lovely or even if you feel like doing another fantasy or barbie project, I love all your work!
Totally adorable blouse, love it! I'm still trying to wrap my head around the buttonhole process.🤪
That is lovely and your step by step was amazing!
This is my favorite sewing video I’ve watched in a while. I loved every part of this so much: the pattern, the fabric choice, the bonus dog content!
I love this. I sewed a lot of blouses in the 1970's. I would love to see your knitting. I began knitting in 4-H when I was 9 years old.
Blouse was fun to see and I like how you always think of people who are either new to your channel, or new to sewing! Cheers and best wishes for a great spring and summer.
As a previous owner of Irish Setters I love this fabric so much
Yay! So good to see a video from you again! LOVE the blouse, and that skirt you paired it with is divine.
Oof about the mental health, and same. Its been a rough few months. Im also a knitter, and i love knitting as a kind craft for when im struggling with depression because it can be done while snuggled up on the couch with a ton of pillows. Id love to see a yarn haul!
This turned out lovely!! Love the fabric and pattern. :)
Yes. Please show more 1940s sewing items. It looks good with the hair...no matter the color.
Yep, writing off yarn is amazing! I wish I had one tenth of your sewing skills!
Procrastinating my own sewing by watching you sew 😅 I'd definitely watch knitting videos, welcome to the world of yarn stashes!
Cool thing about the dog bringing the collar back,wish ours would do that when they loose them in our big yard.
Nothing is more exciting than seeing a video from you popping up in my video list!
Yes, please share your knitting! I would love to see you delve into the history of the subject and even vintage patterns
I think your funky hair color brings updates retro 40s looks beautifully.
I remember prints like this - I feel old. I think it works very well with the vintage pattern and it looks great.
Something I know I'd have done, because I've done it before, is to cut the buttonhole welts to match the print on the front exactly so the buttonholes would "disappear" into the front itself. I've had most people look at me as though I'm insane when I've shown them the results. The first time I did it was on a plaid that was uneven in both directions, and it was a challenge all right. I would not expect anyone else to do the same.
Hi Angela. I too sewed for a long time before picking up knitting...and now I have a large stash of beautiful yarn, to go with my beautiful stash of fabric. Have fun!
I have been meaning to get into knitting forever....so definitely yes to some videos about that. And I'll never say 'no' to a haul video. I don't know, why they're so much fun to watch... but they are!
I love the buttons, it‘s a great idea to get the right position.
I love knitting, too, but I‘m so slow, I need ages to finish a piece.
I absolutely love this fabric, the buttons with the bird heads are adorable. :)
Love the blue hair! Love the purple hair! Love the combination of the fabric and the pattern! By all means, yarn us.
I really love this blouse. I have a lot of similar dog fabrics that I bought when I used to work at Joanns for the simple fact they had German Shepherds on them and I never knew what to do with them. I didn’t think they would work for clothes but seeing how this came out, I’m definitely going to pull out that fabric and give it a try.
I hope ur well Angela.
This top is adorable, the fabric is too cute and it looks great on you! ❤
For knitting needles, I really recommend getting a decent interchangeable circular set. You get all the main sizes from 4-11 and it's easier on your wrists for large projects since the weight is centred rather than off to the side like with straight needles. I've used my knit picks circular set for literally all my flat-knit projects in that needle range since I got it.
Love my knit-pick interchangeable and use them for everything.
I have no idea what that even is, but I took a screenshot, because I want to start knitting, too 😉
I go camping a lot in summer and need something to do, besides reading.
@@raraavis7782 Circular needles are a pair of short knitting needles that are connected by a cable. "Fixed" circulars have needles permanently attached to the cable. An interchangeable circular set is basically a collection of different-sized needle tips that screw into cables of varying lengths. If you're just learning, it'd be a good idea to start out with basic straight needles because the kits are a bit pricey. But if you're going to make a long-term hobby out of it, getting a circular kit is a good investment. Especially if you plan on making large projects like blankets and shawls. Two of the more popular brands are Knit Picks and Knitter's Pride. I've got the Knit Picks nickel-plated set.
You can also use them to make small-diameter tubes by using two cables with mismatched tips (what I prefer) or by using a technique called "magic loop." You can also get "short" 16" cable circular needles (and kits) to make hats and stuff, but honestly I prefer using my larger circulars the way I mentioned. (Mainly because I don't need to swap to double-pointed needles when I'm shaping the top of a hat 😝)

Oh, thank you!
It's always so confusing, when starting a new craft. What to get? And I don't mind investing a bit. I enjoy handsewing because of how meditative it is...so I'm fairly sure, I'll like knitting as well.
@@raraavis7782 Be sure to check out Ravelry if you haven't already! It's a really good resource for both free and paid knitting patterns :) (and tips on what yarn and needles to use for said patterns, and other people's notes on said patterns . . . )
Love the blouse! I think vintage styles are even more striking and classy, even, with funky hair colors. I find the juxtaposition quite attractive, like with the ‘70s fabric in a ‘40s style…very cool. As an almost lifelong knitter (over 40 years!! 😱), I am ALWAYS interested in knitting content!! I hear you on the stash… I recently de-stashed over half of mine (donated it) because it was completely out of control. Wishing peace, love, and light for you and yours.
The blouse is very stylish and fits beautifully.
Please show your new hobby as I also knit as well as sew.
The blouse is great. And you make bound buttonholes look very easy.
Aside from the blouse you've just sewn, which turned out beautifully, I really need to say I love the tape measure shirt you're wearing in the intro and outro. Gorgeous!
I love these vintage pattern recreations. I’m just now getting back into sewing after being sick last year and your videos are so motivational!
I would love to see your knitting videos. Your design aesthetic is magical and I would be excited to see what you would create with knitting. I knit more than sew these days as it has a wonderful calming effect!
Your attention to detail is spot on..from nice to fabulous. Yes to knitting! I’m just learning. So I would love to see your thought process and projects.
Love this video! What a fun, funky print. Love the bright hair colors with the juxtaposition of the structured forms! Feels very you in a good way!
Cool shirt! Live the 40s shirt silhouette and the dog fabric! There's nothing better than animal prints that are literary pictures of animals :D
I think the 1940s style works fine with your vibrant hair colors. If anything, it kind of reads as an homage to the 80s. And I like the mixing of 40s shapes with textiles from other eras, I wouldn't mind seeing a 40s garment with 60s fabric. The great thing about making your own garments is that you can do whatever you want, and break all the rules, and it's totally fine.
I love that fabric, what a great find! The bound button holes look like they are way beyond my current skill level, but they do give a very nice finished look to the garment for sure 😄
Not to be dramatic, but I would die of happiness if you shared your knitting with us. Even if it were just knit a long videos so you didn't feel the pressure to complete projects fast like a lot of knitter youtubers feel.
Please show off your knitting stash! I’m not much of a sewer, but I’ve been knitting for decades and love to see what everyone else buys 🧶
Yes, knitting! I love knitting and would love to see a video about your learning process!
An excellent tutorial on bound buttonholes. The blouse is beautiful.
I always loved your tailored colorful hair vintage outfits
I am loving the blouse with the skirt! It’s such a cute outfit! Also loving that stunning blue color you are currently sporting in your hair, I am kinda jelly of how pretty it is! Do share the knitting adventures with us, I can’t knit but I can do some basic crochet so I would love to see what kind of yards you’ve begun to collect. Take all the time you need, we will be happy to wait for any projects or hauls you decide to share with us.
Angela, your hair looks good on you.
