You don't know how comforting it was for me to see your study so alive and sincere. In my videos I don't dare to share my space because it is not the typical orderly and neat workshop. I love the vintage vibes on fabrics. I use a lot in my handmade notebooks; and I took courage recently to start sewing my own clothes. By the way, I'm a nana and a new subscriber. Infinite thanks!✨

Your studio is perfect and shows that you create things. Glad you followed your dream. The world is more interesting with your creations. ❤

I am watching this whilst packing up some yarn sets for an upcoming craft fair next weekend. I totally feel what you are saying - that there is so much admin with a small business - and I am not even full time! I also found it very cute how nervous you were when your listings were going live. So sweet. Your stuff is amazing, keep going. Those pieces of fabric deserve to be made into something amazing.

You are so inspirational. I'm 70 years old in New Zealand. I have been working in the sewing industry for years now. I retired at the beginning of the year. I was before retirement I was doing makets making goth clothing. But now have branched out into garments using dead stock fabric . So far going well but watching you work is inspirational. Thanks for your educating me on the marketing aspect. Thanks again

Came upon your channel by chance and have subscribed. My mother (long gone) was a very creative seamstress and needlewoman for nigh on 65 years and kept our family of five afloat with a home based business after being widowed (while pregnant) in 1963. She would have been in her element doing what you do.

A bride and entourage were let down four days before the wedding It was a large Italian affair and my mother's Italian next door neighbours put them in contact with her. In three days using her own drafted patterns she made the lavish bridal gown, six bridesmaids, page girl, page boy and mother of the bride gowns. They invited her to the wedding but she was too tired to go much to her regret. I have a piece of cake in a tin from the event. I shall enjoy watching your programme.
