My very first job straight out of high school was at a sewing factory. They made fancy dresses. I actually loved that job. I miss sewing. One day this very small house of ours will be completely remodeled, all our kid's will have their own bedrooms up in the attic and I will get our youngest daughter out of my bedroom and then I'll set up my very own sewing station. I really want to get back to sewing dresses for me and my daughter. ❤

I worked in a sewing factory also and I loved it; I like piece work. My mother was a sample maker. I’m older now and I sew pretty much every day.

The top turned out beautifully! I love to thrift fabric for sewing. At our thrift store, I realized, it’s much cheaper to buy a tablecloth than actual sewing fabric. I made my daughter a gold Christmas dress out of a gold tablecloth. I have a project lined up. Just waiting for time…. ❤

I know I've commented before but I had to say this I'm 66 but I don't regret staying home w my daughter the first 4yrs as a single mom. They grow up so fast. Love from Virginia.

I recently found your channel through your sisters sites and am so happy to follow you also! You have such a calm presence and a beautiful family. So excited to continue following your journey ❤

Thank you so much!

I just started watching your channel, KZread suggested it, and now I know why….you are Lisa’s sister! I’ve followed her for years and as I have been watching a couple of your videos this morning I thought, “Gosh she sounds a lot like Lisa Bass. I wonder if they are related?” 😄 So glad I found you! You are inspiring me to get back into sewing. 😊

Such a beautiful top! You did a lovely job. And I totally agree with you about leaving old seasons behind and embracing the new ones. Such a wonderful lesson!

I adore this shirt and your clever use of that sweet tablecloth! Imagine the dresses you will make for your daughter! It is pronounced woostersheer! Happy Easter to your family Andrea!

You sew just like my mom. It is a vocation and she could make anything. I have all of her sewing machines and sewing notions that I will probably never figure out. I am sure that when I get to Heaven (am working on it) she will tell me how funny she finds my confusion

Hi Andrea! Discovered you through Lisa's Q&A! I love everything you have said about seasons and embracing it. You are very fortunate to have so many sisters that have shared their wisdom with you and you take their wisdom on board ❤ I'm trying to get back into sewing and I think you have helped revive that spark! Thank you! Newly subscribed and looking forward to watching some of your older videos! ❤

I recently thrifted a 100% long cotton curtain panel and made a new kitchen curtain and 4 extra large kitchen towels for $2.00. I love purposing linens.

good find!! :)

My mom sewed allot. She would make dresses and little outfits for me when i was little. I remember going with her to buy patterns and shed flip thru books to pick out the look she wanted and they were in like file drawers, numbered. And going to the fabric stores. She'd make things for my Barbie's too😊And I'd get the scraps and make things, not good, but i thought it was cool😄b You did a great job on the top, its so cute! And looks cute on you too😊 Never had a roast cooked in beer but we've done beer battered sea food and use a bottle in the low country boil, which is also sea food. But the roast looked yummy😋 Enjoyed.. thanks for sharing!

I loved your new top. Such a smart use of recycled fabric particularly highlighting the embroidery! Yes, I understand finding meaning in the seasons of life. I too travelled widely at a younger age and now I’m itching to travel once more. I also went back to study in my late thirties after being widowed and spent the next twenty years studying and working in education. I’ve also been heavily involved in community work all my life starting as a teenager which brought both personal growth and joy through meeting, learning and contributing to others, both at home and overseas. So celebrate your seasons in life in gratitude at what they always bring to you and yours. Each change in season brought adventure, learning and participation in the circle of life and opportunity. And yes, I’ve had struggles but overall joy in seeking new experiences.

I also sewed most of my daughters clothes when they were little. I especially loved making pillowcase dresses with thrifted pillowcases. Then when my granddaughters came along, I made them pillowcase dresses.

Such a cute top. It looks just like you. I can't wait to see all you sew for your daughter as well.

The top turned out really cute! I bet the roast had a similar flavour to the steak and Guinness pie.

I love learning everything I can from you! All you girls have very soothing voices! Each of you do different, but the same things to learn about! I really enjoy your videos Andrea! So glad you're on here with your sisters! 💐🦋

I found your channel through your sisters’ channels. I love how you are all so alike but also so different from each other. I get cooking inspiration from Lisa’s channel, cooking but more so cleaning inspiration from Laura’s channel and now sewing inspiration from yours ( I’m a newish sewist myself & interested in garment making.). Your top came out very cute!

It’s very similar to what you made with beef chuck roast, beer, onions, lime, Mexican seasonings. In the crock pot for 4-6 hours. It’s perfect for tacos and burritos! 😊

Question where did you get your fabric bookcase to hold your fabric? I just move and couldn’t take me bookcases with me. They were old and probably would have fallen apart on its journey. Love watching you sew❤
