It turned out beautifully! I’m curious about why you hand stitched the sleeves back in? Also, I’d like to turn a cashmere sweater into a cardigan for my 6 year old daughter. Can I dye it? Will the warm water shrink it?

J'aimerais savoir d'ou viennent vos crayons marqueurs. J'adore ce que vous faites. Joyeuses Fêtes

I was wondering where you were hiding! Nothing wrong with taking some much-needed Me Time. This is such a wonderful idea. Maybe you can publicize the charity you're going to do the sewing for and some us can join you. I volunteer at a local dog shelter and I try to make a dog jacket at least once a month. So many dogs come in and have to be shaved; they need the warmth. You are such a caring and talented woman that this is the next logical step in your meaningful way of sharing your many, many gifts. I think you're terrific!

Thank you ~ you are so humble I love your way of sewing I have learnt so much .

I love this idea! Looking forward to trying new things with you! Happy Holidays

I just finished my 3rd one of these this week. It was for my daughter who is really loving these. These are so unique. I just wanted to say I don’t think I could have completed it without your video, especially when it came to the buttonhole placement but there were other things as well. I tend to have problems understanding pattern instructions. So thank you. It has been fun making something for my daughter that she likes. Update: I am working on the 4th one for my daughter. I just discovered a huge timesaver and sanity saver is to sew the buttonholes onto the front leg and panel piece before attaching it to the rest of the skirt. It cut the time in half and I didn’t have near as much trouble “fighting” with all the fabric from the back piece.

I am exact opposite of you..when I think about doing anything I have no knowledge of..I have panic attacks even thinking about it😮😢❤

Love your channel. I have l earned so mhch.

Such a great idea! I actually sewing for our Center for the Prevention of Abuse. We sew lap quilts, walker bags , pillow cases and bigger quilts too. Keeps me busy

How have I never heard of the thread knotting fact? Maybe that's why double threaded sewing knots so much.

I found your channel this week. Thank you for your many postings. I am beginning to sew maternity dresses for my DIL. She is large busted and I have learned sooo much from you regarding pattern adjustments. You are a blessing to many. I will gain more useful sewing insights from you in the future as you share your new endeavors. Jan

Beautiful, perfect fit!

Same here. But my hubby's was more intricated knitted so I went bold... I washed It in hot water so I knew it'll get smaller, It worked so all I had to do later was just the front part where I cut and place some buttons

Can’t wait to make this jacket with your excellent instructions. I can’t thank you enough!

I sewed this following along with your video. I used cotton canvas like you did and really love that fabric. It is not something that I would have even thought of using for clothes before you mentioned it so thank you.

with heavy heart,,,,,I am accepting your decision. Best of luck in your endeavors .

Your channel has given me so much more confidence in my sewing. Thanks so much for the links to items that you use. Some seem to be old or the item isn't available. I will check later videos. I can't thank you enough!

Great tutorial! I am pleased with the results of view A of this pattern. Your instructions were clear and the tips were nicely presented. Thank you

Always a lovely lesson

Thank you! I will be teaching my little sister to sew with this pattern. Your video tutorial will make things flow quicker. Blessed holidays!

great pattern i love your tutorials. i am having trouble with the vogue 1950 pattern it is the collar i dont understand the lapel doesnt seem to be lined which i cant work out when ive sew it together any chance you could do a tutourial on this pattern thankyou bernie

You are amazing so helpful

Absolutely beautiful dress ❤️😊

Well done, Marie! BTW, how do you protect yourself from larger channels stealing your patterns? Have you encountered this? They take 98% of the sewing pattern you designed & put out on KZbin, change 2%, & then do a video of it as if it is their own to promote themselves. Their version is usually a rushed knock off they'd never wear, but the audience doesn't know that. This has happened to me with my refashioned garments. Maybe Patreon? - at least we get paid & it's a little protection from lazy stealers!

Greetings, Marie, from Scotland in the UK. I am a beginner sewist and love it so much. I only found you a few months ago, but have learned so very much from you and from your gentle style. I am really interested in garment making but will also enjoy watching you make other items too, especially items for animal shelters, so looking forward to that. Have a lovely Christmas. Kind regards, Jill

I absolutely love the idea that you've come up with as a change in focus for your channel! Funnily enough, I'd just been talking on the phone with my parents earlier in the day about doing some charity sewing so your announcement was very timely. Happy holidays and see you in 2025!

I wish I could see all the beautiful sewing machines behind you. I know they have been refinished. Do they all still work? Those old sewing machines are ART. Thank you for saving them. Please have a safe and happy Holiday. My sewing friend sent me this video. I like what I hear and see so far; so, I subscribed. Not all charitable organizations are what they claim to be.

I love this dress!

Sounds great. I learned about Dress a Girl International too late for this past September. Since then I have made 9 dresses. It is also a great way to use my mountains of scraps. Wish I could see the little girls who will wear them. Have a great Christmas….it is our busiest time…we are a Santa and Mrs Claus.

What a great idea! See you in January. Enjoy the holidays!!

I sell wool for sewing and wool crafts. A customer just asked about making wool pants for her 10 month old. Do you know of any patterns for babies? Is wool a good fabric for babies?

I think this is a great idea and I’ve been wanting to try charity sewing too!

Thank you so much for all that you do. My sewing skills are improving all the time from watching what you do. I love your farm, animals and vintage machines, too. Have a great holiday, much appreciation!

I can't wait for this! Excited to see you in January

What an exciting idea for your channel! Very cool. 👏 Thanks for sharing your sewing journey. Enjoy your holidays! 🎄

Love this new venture!

Have a great holiday

Whatever you are going to be sewing, I am here for it!! Have a good holiday season and see you next year😁!

I love this idea! Well done, Marie! ❤

This was a great tutorial. Thanks so much. I most needed to know how to fix the pattern from the muslin. You made that so easy to understand

Love that idea. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving and Christmas.

I am new to my sewing journey and so will miss your videos, I have learned so much. Have a wonderful break see you in the new year

Sounds very interesting and I will be sure to tune in. Have a wonderful Christmas!

I love this idea. There are so many places to donate to. Enjoy your time off. Christmas is such a special time and should be enjoyed with family and friends.

What a wonderful idea! Can hardly wait to see your projects.

Such a great idea! :)

Have a great holiday you deserve it. Have learned so much from you, but will be seeing you in the New Year for your new adventure. 🎉🎄✨❤

What a great and empathic idea! We'll always learn something, no matter what project you will be sewing. If we want to sew garments, you already gave us loads of videos to (re)watch. Enjoy your Season´s break - we´ll see you back with renewed energy in January.❤

I have learned so much from you plus loved your made garments. I love your farm and animals and antique sewing machines. I'd love to see a video showing all about your machine make overs. Have a wonderful holiday. See you next year.

Love, love, love this idea. I wouldn't miss your vlog. I've learned so much and will continue watching. Have a very merry Holiday season.
