Thank you, Erin! I'm so happy it turned out nicely! Thank you so much for your continued friendship and support! I hope you have a great New Year!♥♥♥

I was so happy to see you!! I hope you can come back some time!❤️

Thank you! You're da best!♥♥♥

It was such a joy to watch! I'd listened to song before, and new it was a happy song, but the video really just upped the fun-factor! Are you a Stray Kids fan yet? 😉

@ Maaaaaaayyybeeee…😂

@@nicbeastwoohoo! I have influenced two of my favorite people to become Stay!!🎉🎉🎉 Welcome to Skz world!

I bet it is a meat hook! And I like your thinking about creator and monster. Skz have so many gorgeous costumes. I am in awe of whomever their stylist(s) are. I suppose I could find out somewhere? Hmmm, something to think about. I can't love this video enough. The fight scene (that looks like a super-hero movie) is soooo good. I'm glad you enjoyed the video! ❤

Crazy good!

Thanks so much, Aida! Thanks for watching and supporting my journey to find joy! 😁 Have a wonderful New Year!!

Right?!

Hi, Sally! Yes, I have avoided figure-fitting clothes for the same reason, but if I were to recommend any one pattern to someone looking at maybe trying one out, it would be this pattern. It's very flattering, with it's high, curved waist and it's so easy to adjust. I hope you do give it a try, and let me know how it turns out! I'm very glad to hear you'll be back and we can talk more about finding joy, being fearless and sewing up style! ☺😉🙃 Happy New Year!❤

@ thank you - happy new year to you too 🥳🥳

Thank you Monique! That makes me feel so good to know you enjoy what I put out there! The skirt is very flattering and super-easy to make, so I totally understand why you like it! I so appreciate you coming to watch the video and look forward to more conversations in 2025! Happy New Year!❤❤❤

I know, right?!! I'm nervous, so that means it's definitely something I need to do. 😆❤❤❤

Thank you so much, Carole! And thanks for coming to the livestream! I'm so happy to hear you are going to follow allow with SewFearless and who knows, you might decide to try out something new for you, too! In any case, I really appreciate your company on the journey! Have a Happy New Year!❤❤❤

Michelle, I'm so excited you're along for the joy ride (literally!) 😄 We'll get Blake to help with the dance challenge and usher in 2025 with abandonment! The skirt is so comfortable. Because of the way the facing is designed, it isn't tight or pinchy. I highly recommend it! Thank you so much for all your support. You know it means so much to me!! ❤❤❤

Thank you so much! Yes, that fear of messing up the good fabric is hard to let go of. As far as lumps and bumps, I use some shapewear. Now a days they are much more comfortable than in the past, and I think everyone (young and old) use it now. Is it cheating? I don't think so. It doesn't dramatically change anything, but it just helps smooth things out and I feel more confident with those more form fitting garments. I'm so happy you're going to join us as we SewFearless! Have a very Happy New Year!!❤❤❤

Thank you so much, Stephanie! It's a great pattern! Have a happy New Year!!❤❤❤

Thank you so much, Grace! It's going to be so fun in 2025. I'm glad we're going to be Sew Fearless, too! Have a very Happy New Year!❤❤❤

Thank you! I hope you're feeling better!! I'm excited for us to start pushing our boundaries and inspiring others along the way! I hope you have a great New Year!!❤❤❤

You are also awesome!! Have you been enjoying the videos? I have seriously enjoyed making them, and both Blake and I are sad it's over... :( Back to sewing content I go... :D

I guess neurodivergency does have some super-powers...😁 I hope you're finding your time with family a blessing. Sometimes just looking at patterns gets us through the lean sewing times. I enjoy just sifting through my patterns and dreaming of different fabrics and things to make. I do believe that itis the Betty Crocker Cookie Book that I have. I only use the Ethel's sugar Cookies recipe, and that page is so dirty!! The rest of the book is pristine. Thanks for watching and always being supportive. You're such a great friend! ❤❤❤

He is, isn't he!!❤

Merry Christmas, Zelda! Thank you for the Christmas card. I have been a grinch this year and didn't get any cards made or even any shopping done until Christmas Eve, right before the stores closed. I want you to know i sincerely appreciate you and the fact we've become KZbin friends and colleagues! Sending to you lots of Christmas love! ❤

@LaraSchiffbauer Lolol. The Grinch? Nah! 😂 I have enjoyed our friendship and I look forward to seeing your makes (and mine 😂) in 2025!

First, thanks for the love on my cape/hood! I actually made the cape before the video came out and didn't mean to recreate it, but when I watched the video I definitely saw the resemblance, too! They are so amazing as a group. There isn't one of them that doesn't bring it, either. They all put their 100% into everything they do, whether individually or together. That's one of the reasons I really want to see them live. I think the energy of being in person would be crazy! There's two more videos, and then we're done. I'm so sad, because I've really enjoyed making them - even if the videos themselves are pretty lacking when it comes to technical video things. I wish I could figure out the sound issues, but my microphone doesn't seem to work any better than the computer michrophone. It's always a learning curve when trying new things, I suppose.... I hope your day has gone well and you were able to exprience some Christmas joy. ♥

Thank you! It was a good first try as a duet! :D

We love Changbin! :D Yeah, the song is so amazing. It gets right to it and carries through to the end. I'm glad you enjoyed it, too! Thanks so much for watching!

lol indeed! 🤣 Yeah, I really like the first outfit, too. Obviously the hooded sweater is right up my alley! I didn't even notice the two belts, I only saw it after Blake pointed it out, and I have to say it's a look worth recreating! Hyunjin has such a great style - like his dancing, it's very individualistic to him. That confidence is inspiring! Thanks for watching and it's so nice to talk again!❤

Thanks, Grace! We’re having a great time, and I’m living the videos, so it’s a win all around for us!

Darn… thanks for checking in, tho!

Thank you, Zelda!

Hi! Thank you so much for leaving such a nice comment. I'm so jealous you saw the concert last Saturday! I've watched some of the fan footage and it looked like it was truly amazing! Of course, every concert looks amazing, because Skz is! I really do appreciate you taking your time to watch my video and stop to chat a bit. Thanks you!♥♥♥

I am very proud of his hard work and dedication to improve what has been given to him. I always enjoy hearing both my kids play, for sure. It's one of the best things about being their mom! 😁

The swish and feeling bad-a$$ is definitely the best thing about capes! 😁

Thank you, Lisa! It is such a statement piece, it's hard to believe it is as easy to sew as it is! Thanks for watching!♥

Thank you on both accounts, Michelle! I didn't know that a cello could sound like bagpipes until hearing his songs. I am really glad you enjoyed hearing him play. ❤❤❤

Thank you for watching, Michelle! I have to say I feel a little exposed, but I did enjoy making this video. Blake and I are going to shoot the next one tomorrow after the livestream... I'm glad you liked the Skz songs! I have difficulty understanding lyrics while they're being sung, so it doesn't bother me at all to have most of the words in Korean. The vocals are just another instrument in the song, for me. I think you'll really like the rest of the songs - especially Changbin's because it's a little harder rock sound. 😁♥

Thank you, Pam! I'm glad you enjoyed the video and Spencer's playing! Thanks for leaving a comment, too!!❤

Thank you so much, Grace! I'm not sure where I got the suede-cloth... It might have been Hobby Lobby, but it would have been several years ago. It's been in my stash for a while. Merry Christmas to you as well!

Thank you, Stephanie! ☺😁

Thanks, Katinka! I can't say enough how much fun I had meeting up today!

Thanks for watching! I personally think 3racha are genius, but as the solo projects are showing, the rest of the members are super-talented, too. I do plan to react to the rest of the releases, so I hope you will watch and let me know what you think, too. I think I'll get better as I go along, and I do think having my son along will add even more color and fun to the videos. Next video will be this weekend, so I hope you come back! Thanks so much for the comment, too! Have a wonderful weekend!

Thank you so much, Zelda! I was scared to do it, especially by myself, which meant I had to just do it and I'm glad I did. However, it makes me feel so much better knowing that you enjoyed the video, because I'm definitely a little out of my depth here. ☺ I think this is the year they're going to become a household name, so stay tuned and we'll see if I'm right! I hope you have a great Friday!

Are you referring to Felix, or all of them? I agree the androgynous aesthetic is refreshing. He’s the one I patterned the shirt with zippers on the sleeves after. I think he is wearing the very jacket that I got the inspiration from in their video Walking on Water, if you want to check it out. Thanks again for watching -and leaving two (!) comments!

Aw, Nic, Thanks so much for watching!! Not a dumb question at all. Stray kids are K-Pop, so I think the solo songs would be considered k-pop, but even Stray Kids’ songs are unusual, and when they released Hop (this album) they billed it as genre bending and a blending of different musical styles. So, I guess the answer is yes and no? 😂

I sooo love that song! I hope the sound quality wasn't too terrible. I know how to share it so I can hear the music and everyone else can too, now, so next week when I play Red Lights it will sound awesome!! Thanks again so much for coming to the livestream. It really means so much to me.❤

Sending hugs, Michelle!❤❤❤

Cool! I'm glad I could be of service! ;D

I was very surprised that the patterns arrived as quickly as they did! My past self definitely made some good choices. I think I'm the only person who wants to do zippers!! :D It's so nice to see you today! I hope you have been well!

I'm so glad you liked the jazz! The Frosty arrangement was by Mr. Stelling, the saxophone soloist. He's Blake's teacher and just an amazing saxophonist. Yeah, 6 yards of fabric! It will make a stunning dress, though! I hpe you have a wonderful weekend!
