Thank you for everything annika, have a wonderful life ❤

[@gothgurlproductions95]

I'm so sad to see you go, yet so happy you are taking time for yourself. I remember fangirling over you replying to one of my comments from a year ago, on a years old video, about boob and bra sizes, I doubt you remember but to me that was a huge moment, and made me get back into a project I had fallen out of love with. Thanks for doing that whilst you were struggling so much

[@Philosopanda]

You will NEVER have to apologize to us for putting yourself and your health, both pysical and mental, first. You've given us so much - not just videos to watch, but a place to learn, a whole community to be a part of. We're all part of the Sewing Friends now and forever. Whatever you decide to do next you're going to be great! And if you decide to share we'll be here. Much love to you and yours, and everyone stay safe out there! 💖💖💖💖

[@lavenderspikes7990]

you were one of the first people casually talk about their disability and younger me got to see someone else take a bunch of pills as part of their daily routine and that was really important for me. and ive always loved watching your beautiful adventures. its also really cool that you came out and are activly prioritizing yourself and doing things that make you happy.

[@gothgurlproductions95]

They made me realise I could be disabled and achieve my dreams, so in a way it makes it threefold sad to see them go, twice for them, their health and their struggles, once on my own selfish front. However I am strong enough now to go on my own, and they was brave enough to motivate me when I really needed it! Just glad they are looking after themselves to be honest! And joined the bi gang!

Hey Annika, you were the person who got me into sewing as a young teenager, educated me on fast and slow fashion and the industry's role in the climate & ecological crisis, and basically you've been a hugely important part of shaping me into the person I am today. Whatever the future holds for you, I hope it's every bit as bright and powerful as you are. Thank you for all the good times, you rock, and keep being true to you ✨

You are a person, a wonderful person who shared your journey, and the end of the journey for youtube isn't at all bad. I'm so happy to get this update, and rewatch your tutorials for a pick-me-up. Go forth, be the happiest, healthiest Annika there ever was, we all love you and will remember our time together fondly ❤

Today due to my hypermobile Ehlers Danlos syndrome, I used a wheelchair in public for the first time and thought to myself ‘remember Annika, be a babe with a mobility aid’. Then this evening I came across this video - thank you for your videos across the years and helping me gain the confidence that got me through today; I hope you are enjoying life on any path you so choose!! ❤️

Add me to the chorus of "sad to see you go, but so happy you're finding your path". I don't sew, but I love seeing just about any craft when it's done well (whether that means a master at work or a beginner brave enough to show us how they learn), especially when it's presented so well as your videos. If you ever get bored I'll be waiting for you to pop up in my subscriptions, just in case.

[@CryptidLarklin]

You taught me how to make a circle skirt, a skill I'll never forget. You inspired me to create and I'll always be greatful for that

[@xxNekoOfDarknessxx]

It’s sad to see you go Annika, but it’s totally understandable for you to leave and look after yourself and explore more different opportunities, to see what you want to do in life!!! I have learned so many different sewing techniques from you and adored your style and videos, so thank you so so much for sharing everything with us. 💖 I can’t wait to see what you’ll do in the future and am so happy you are still here with us!!! 🥺🥰💖💖

[@merrydamegnagna9907]

I haven't watched in years and on a whim checked to see if you were still creating videos. I'm glad you've taken care of yourself and learned more about yourself! As a young teenager you inspired me to take my fashion into my own hands. I learned to sew from your videos and absolutely adored make thrift buy! Years later I'm still thrifting and making my own clothes to the point of planning on opening a stall at a store next summer! I guess I just wanna say thank you and I hope you are still doing well 💖

[@ConfusedCorvid]

I’m so sad to see you go but so happy for you! 💜 As a young, chronically ill, disabled, nonbinary, sewer and crafter I relate to you and look up to you so much and you’ve made me feel so much less alone over the years. Actually my first sewing project was because of you, I made a little bag with scraps and dyed it myself. I’m so happy for you, figuring out your health, identity, everything. You’ve made a huge difference to me, you’ve made me laugh and smile and taught me so much about how to sew and create projects myself. You’re always welcome to come back to KZbin, if it’s ever the right thing for you again, we’ll be here with open arms. Thank you for everything, we will miss you! And good luck for all the amazing things the future holds! We love you💜

[@joygoncalves4917]

I’m very old 77 but I appreciate the fact that over the last 10 years or so it seems like more people are willing to say who they really feel they are. We all need to love and accept each other.

Those who have not suffered do not appreciate and care like us who have. Sending you lots of hugs and caring.

[@sleepiest_vampire7138]

hi Annika, you were a really influential part of my teenage years. i started watching Make Thrift Buy somewhere around episode 5, and quickly become enamored with the idea that i could make my own stuff. you taught me about fast fashion, about the environment, about worker's rights, and about slow fashion. then, one day, you posted your "get ready with me" video. i was so happy i cried. i'd never seen anyone so like me before. from then on, i paid careful attention when you mentioned accomodations in videos, like your migraine glasses and your iron that lifts itself up. i grew up being told that my pain was imaginary, so the idea that i could do things to make it hurt less was revolutionary. thank you for changing my world

[@AnnikaVictoria24]

I'm crying 😭😭😭 this is why I talked about being disabled. To be the person I needed when I was younger. I'm so so glad I could have been such a positive influence on your life. ❤️

[@robinhadveck6490]

4 years and 1 day to this date, I received a sewing machine for Christmas. As a middle schooler I watched your videos and on the circle skirt tutorial, I thought, hey I could do this too with the proper equipment! Since then I’ve taught myself with your videos how to sew. Today, I made a men’s dress shirt as a gift and I intend to make some more in the next few days. I’ve learned to draft formal clothing, and I thrift and sew most of my clothes. THANK YOU for being that spark that moved me towards sustainable fashion and also expressing myself creatively. I never thought I was a good visual artist until sewing! I wish you the best of times with dancing and your husband, and whatever else you create. Thank you, Annika!

[@nady051]

You were I think one of the first youtubers related to sewing that I discovered, I used to think nobody of my age enjoyed sewing and seeing such a cool person like you teach me how to sew was so inspiring for so many years, those memories will stay with me forever, I am happy that you are doing so well now and I wish you nothing but happiness and success in this new chapter love from Mexico 💕

[@sonja5058]

I'm so happy you got to a point in your journey where you feel comfortable in your body and with your identity. It can be really hard to separate the pain/discomfort of dysphoria from the pain/discomfort of a chronic illness, so I'm really really happy and proud of you for getting there! It took me ages to get to the same place, and now we have matching pronouns again!!

[@PlebeianGoth]

Honestly this was what I was hoping to hear; that you've decided to prioritize your health and wellbeing and find what you love. I'm in a similar state and I sympathize with how trying it can be. I hope you continue to do what is best for you! Your videos did inspire me a lot and taught me some great skills as a seamster and gave me some fun ideas of things to make. You also inspired me to never buy clothes again! (Unless, of course, it's really tricky stuff and have to buy it if I REALLY REALLY REALLY want it.) In fact I only bought a pair of jeans and one manga hoodie this year, and made everything else new I wear this year. Hope you continue to do well and be happy!

[@aquaintsound]

As a non-binary person with a connective tissue disorder, it makes me so so happy to hear that you've found yourself more. The "I'm dissociating because of pain, right?" Is a mood. Of course we're gonna miss you, but KZbin is so much work I'm just thankful i got to see someone with a similar condition thriving right around when I first got diagnosed. It made the world of a difference for me; at that time I couldn't do any of my hobbies, but you gave me hope that I could do them again. And I can now! Thank you for everything

[@mellyq92]

Do you mind me asking how you were able to do them again. I also have a connective tissue disorder and I have so much trouble engaging in hobbies without my joints bothering me.

[@AlphaDelilas]

@@mellyq92 I'm another hypermobile-EDS person- it obviously depends on the hobby, but definitely even doing the tiniest bit of physical therapy (I've only been doing at home stuff since the Panorama started since I'm also on immune-destroying meds) helps immensely. I fell off the wagon because of depression, but I adopted a new dog and now HAVE to take of myself. I really only do a 1km walk a day and about 10-15 minutes of dedicated PT, but that's enough to help both my mood and joints. I don't have very physically demanding hobbies, mostly gaming, but making sure some of my PT is hand related helps make sure I don't continually mess up my fingers.

I really enjoyed your wedding dress videos and i decided that one day I'm going to sew my wedding dress myself too. I'm 17 years old now and chronically ill too. You inspired me more than just through your sewing. I still remember your video about your chronic illness and how you said that everybody has a different "normal". Every time i take my meds in the morning i think about that. You are amazing and an inspiration.

As a disabled queer person, it can be so hard to function normally and it's lovely to be reminded to revaluate life and how can I make it easier for my health, I don't have to struggle all the time and it's ok to stop doing something if that means being more comfortable, or healthier.

I'm sorry to hear you had such a huge medical emergency. I am so glad to see you have found passion in sewing again, especially in the burlesque scene, it definitely suits you. Lastly, happy for you that you have figured yourself out and so pleased for you that it is a huge relief for you as they/them. See you again when I see you again. Wishing you the very best for the future. Thank you for your content over the years :)

Proud of how far you’ve come and where you’re going to go from here💜 Thank you for gracing us all these years!

Your videos were so fun and I learned so much about sewing and chronic illness. When my own chronic condition started getting more painful more frequently, your videos helped me treat myself more gently. I recommended so many of your videos to friends with chronic illness that were into sewing. I was just wondering how you were doing and im so happy to know you're doing so well now. I'm a little sad that your videos are probably never going to be updated again but this was a beautiful farewell. I'm glad your health is better now and I'm glad you're making decisions that are prioritizing your well being. I'm so glad you have found a new interest that brings you so much joy. I'm so glad you've gotten that self-reflection to discover more about your identity

Hey beautiful human! I’ve so appreciated your videos, they’ve really helped me in the past both in terms of sewing as well as just wholesome excellent content that gives me much needed warm fuzzies. So glad you took the time away and SO excited for what comes next for you!! Get out there and knock them out!

[@Emmalouwho22]

Thank you so much Annika, for your openness about chronic illness and pain and self care and all of your tutorials over the years. I have loved getting to live through you and learn so much from you, and your sewing tutorials have always helped me feel inspired creatively.

I’m glad to hear that you’re doing okay, and that you’ve found something you’re inspired by. While it’s still a bit sad to hear that you’re leaving, it’s absolutely joyful to hear you’re chasing your dreams.

You are one of the people who got me sewing. I am so glad you are taking time for yourself and healing and are so so happy. You helped people learn to choose themselves, and it's amazing to see you choosing you.

Thank you for teaching me how to sew, for helping me find my place in the disabled community and most of all, being my friend. It will be hard to not ever what you come up with in video form like this, but I’m so dang proud of you for how much progress you have made personally and I’m so excited so see you take that and do so much good stuff for you now. 💖

Buffy!!! 😭😭😭 Thanks for being such a positive force in my life as well!! ❤️

Hi! I’m a fellow enby with joint hypermobility syndrome (basically much milder EDS). Your videos are what motivated me to get into sewing, and by extension a lot of other hobbies. Thank you so much for being here, and I hope your health continues to improve and your days continue to be happier❤️

[@iambubble5145]

Firstly, that outro was so wholesome 🤧. Secondly, I am so happy and proud of how you've grown as a person with your health and deciding what you want to do and your hobbies and those things. I discovered your channel a few years ago when I first got into sewing, your tutorials where super helpful as well as entertaining and your personality was just so cheerful and honest, I was a fan IMMEDIATELY. I'm definitely gonna miss your presence here on KZbin but of course your decision is what matters most. I hope you succeed GREATFULY with each and everything you choose to do moving forward. Wishing you much much love Annika ❣💖❤😊

[@tendollarcowboy7181]

Thank you so much for everything. My mother has a chronic illness so I’ve seen first hand how hard things can get. You are so strong and I’m so happy you have found new passions. I’ve been watching you for at least 7 years now, and have grown up with you. I love to sew and you have taught me so much. I wish you the best❤️❤️❤️

[@threeicedcreams]

You’re literally what got me into sewing!! As sad as I am to see you leave KZbin, I’m even more glad to see you’re doing well. Thank you Annika. I’ll see you around! Take care!!

[@aino1415]

Thank you for your videos! They have helped me to start on my sewing journey and giving me much needed confidence to do what I want. You have always felt like a sewing friend for me! Thank you again for being there

[@FantasticDinos]

I woke up this morning and had this sudden thought like "I wonder what Annika's been up to? I haven't seen any videos from them lately!" but now it all makes sense. Thank you for all of the laughs and all of the lessons, and I'm so freaking happy for you! Like, not only did you take time for yourself and prioritize your own health (not an easy thing to do), now you've discovered something amazing about yourself, and found a new passion??? That's AWESOME! You didn't have to share any of this with us, but the fact that you chose to is so incredibly cool of you. It sounds like you had a really scary year, but I for one am very glad that you're still here, and I wish you all the happiness in whatever you do next! ❤︎

[@TallTeenTurtle]

Ive loved your videos for years and you are what got me over my fear of machine sewing! Sorry to see you go but im so happy to see you move on to find what helps you be happy and healthy. Burn out is real and you must prioritize yourself over the job. I've loved seeing you on Instagram this past year and will continue to follow you there as well as occasionally binge on your videos here when I need some creative inspiration. You are amazing and I love you.

[@emptyness7]

Annika, I wish you nothing but the best, I got into sewing a few years ago and loved your channel as soon as I watched one of your videos of a dress you made. Thank you for everything and good luck

[@TheMaddhatter1313]

I'm so happy that you are putting yourself first and have discovered new things about yourself. I've watched your videos for years and they helped me foster love for sewing and educated me about disabled issues. Thank you so much for all you've done. I'm sad to see you go, but you have to do whats best for you. Sending love and positive vibes!

[@kaylafultz6082]

I was always thinking about you and feeling worried for you! I'm so glad to hear you're feeling better, as a fellow nonbinary /demi-girl I wish you all the best in everything you choose to do from now on and forever. I'll always love your quirky and fun nature and return to your videos as self care/comfort

[@laurenjones8803]

I am so so glad you are doing better and I wish you all the best in whatever it is you decide to do next. I have been following you since the blog days and made my very first circle skirt with a tutorial of yours. You inspired me to seek out thrifting, DIY, and slow fashion, and you taught me so much about disability advocacy. I cant thank you enough for all of your work over the years.

[@mahogany5277]

i have been watching you since i was like 12! you literally inspired me to start sewing. thank you for the memories. ❤️
