[@jeanlinder1310]

Congratulations! I used to love watching your videos where you "collected" free patterns. I wouldn't mind seeing some hack videos, or videos about patterns you're excited to try.

[@bonnie2632]

Congratulations, Lisa. 🎉 i would enjoy it if you were to do tutorials about yarns. You have so much knowledge, and it would be great to learn some basics about weight, types, how to choose, etc. Thank you.

[@dawnwyda7950]

Hi Lisa, I think that sometimes the picking of the right fabric can be crucial to the look of the garment. I would appreciate more videos on fabric selection. I also enjoy seeing what you make describing the pattern, fabric, any changes made. I find tutorials always useful, sometimes watching someone else demonstrate something may give you tip you might want to try even if it's a technique you've done before. I liked the blouse that you were wearing. I loved that you didn't say or think this fabric is too sheer, instead you lined part of it. I think a tutorial on lining a blouse like that one would be of interest. Congratulations on 25K subscribers!

[@addiekl]

Congrats on growing your subscribers! Sometimes it's nice to go back to older favorite makes and sew up a fresh version because you know you'll wear it a lot. I enjoy it when sewing/knitting vloggers do seasonal plans for what you're planning on making, and then at the end of the season you share what you actually made and wore, from your me-made closet (new and older me-mades together). As for tutorials, any of the more technical aspects of sewing and knitting are always good to see as different people do things in their own way: collars, welt pockets, zip fly, flap pockets, and knitting (I'm less experienced than sewing.), picking up stitches, collar bands, short rows, stretchy cast-ons, blocking etc. Thanks for the giveaway!

[@jeanmuser9071]

It’s the lower pockets on the dress. They seem to leave you a little out of balance. That might be what turns you off of it. LOVE everything else you’ve chosen. Fun to watch.

[@glsknitter]

I’m a longtime knitter and relatively new sewist and love watching you videos. As an inexperienced sewist I would like to see tutorials on fitting/hacking patterns to make them work for different body types.

[@valerienell7838]

They all look fabulous on you. My favourites are the Charlie and the Bondi. As to the red Burda - It looks almost as if the top pocket flaps overwhelm your small frame, but it is beautiful as well.

[@Lisamakes]

Hmm, could be!

[@fleurbernasochi4312]

Congratulations! 25k is quite a feat. I appreciate your style, so many sewing bloggers mostly make floral, frilly dresses and tops. I think they are pretty but just look and feel like nightwear on me. I love the red dress but think it possible that the colour is too warm for you. Perhaps try draping your favourite blue coloured scarf around the neck and see if that helps. I love your videos covering matching fabrics with patterns and the recreating the look and those with fashion forward ideas.

[@suzanneschultz4245]

I always love your look- nothing you make ever looks home made. I would enjoy hearing more about how you choose patterns, match fabric and choose your size. I think that is part of why your clothes look store bought- you seem to understand style line and proportion- as if you went into a store and tried on several sizes and chose the size with the vibe you want- sometimes oversize, but never overwhelming- just cool and flattering. On the red dress, I think the pockets make it too symmetrical. Try the wide brow belt, but slung low.

[@vannahhall915]

Hi Lisa, i remember your haul video from the textile museum back in Canada. Doesn't seem like it was that long ago. I appreciate watching your sewing vlogs and plans. Gets my creativity going. Thanks

[@christineshemranifar3218]

I love how you match pattern to fabric and I've also enjoyed watching your sewing tutorials. I'd love to see more especially of how you go about choosing patterns and fabric.

[@sallydingle321]

Hi Lisa, congratulations on your 25K subscribers 🎉. Loving your me made May picks and I think my favourite is your Closet Core Kalle dress 👌💖. I always love it when you can have time to show us around where you live and show off your lovely makes in front of the architecture of Spain 🙏. I also get really inspired by your fabric choices, as they are usually more to my taste 😍👍💖😘

[@Chineka1]

Hi Lisa. I enjoyed your Spring Capsule pattern video. I am requesting to see a Summer Capsule pattern video. I love the content you create for both sewing and knitting. Congratulation on 25,000 subscribers!

[@margaretmillar7866]

I love both your sewing and knitting content - so some tutorials on both would be great to see and also how you style both together. I’d also love to see you take us on trips to local to you fabric and yarn stores as I always look for those whilst on holiday.

[@kathyschemine3072]

Hi Lisa. I love seeing everything you make. I'd love to see a tutorial on your hack to make a shirt into a dress. Also, maybe a tutorial on combining pieces of different patterns together to make a hybrid item, such as sleeves from one shirt into another.

[@mikaelal5673]

Congrats on 25k! My favorite kind of videos is the free sewing pattern round-ups, would be great to see some of those for knitting patterns too!

[@micheleallen1327]

Congrats on 25K!!! Always enjoy seeing fit adjustments: the thought prossess explained and then the execution. Also, any me-made versions of current fashions.

[@stilettodivah]

Yay on 25k! I love the free pattern videos but I would also like to see a sewalong on a shirtdress. Yours always look great. I'd also like more like this one where you choose fabric content for specific seasons.

[@lilolmecj]

On the rust colored dress, the color reads Autumn, the cut Summer, to me. My thoughts are to pair it with jewelry or a belt that are very light feeling to pull it into Summer, and knit up a coordinating cardigan variant sweater that gives your arms some cover to make you reach for it in Autumn. As usual all of your items fit very well, and your sewing is excellent. Congrats on 25,000!

[@patricialynch6532]

I would enjoy more videos of you sewing a project…from beginning to end! Thank you.

[@veronicaquinn2578]

You have done so. much sewing over the years. I love everything. One thing I would like to see you demo would be, “How to make buttonholes.” My machine can do it but I would love to see a demo. Thank you so much. I have been following your podcast for years and I love how calm you are. Doing both knitting and sewing makes your site so much more interesting. Thank you.

[@angienorman5974]

Congratulations on 25K! I’ve been watching you for at least 4 yrs! I’m not a knitter just a sewer. I would be interested in basic knitting tutorials. And information on sources of fabrics and yarn. I live in Midwest US.

[@glendavizecky7581]

Congratulations on 25k subscribers! The green linen dress from the Taylor's class fits you to perfectly the color is also great on you. I love your free pattern videos. You introduce us to companies I have never heard of before. Thank you for your videos!

[@krzysiabi2872]

Wow! 25k is quite a milestone.😊 You asked what we would love to see more of on your channel. Well I would love to see more pattern hacks, in depth tutorials (for instance shirring or putting in zips) and I'd really love to see where you go fabric shopping and what you buy (and the costings). I always find it fascinating what materials are available in different counties so I'd like to see what Spain has to offer. Oh and by the way, I think the red Burda dress looks lovely. It's maybe not as shaped at the back as some others are which is perhaps why you don't wear it🤔

[@lisabelloli]

I think it’s the upper pockets on the rust dress. You could also try a wide belt that covers the waist. Thanks for the giveaway! Congratulations on 25K. I think seeing how you style and the clothes on you is great.

[@janicehardin9013]

Lisa, I enjoy your sewing and knitting content. Might be fun to see how you style your knitted items with some of your sewn pieces. Congrats on 25K

[@Bonbon53539]

Congrats on 25k. Love your channel! As far as future videos, just keep doing what you are doing! It is very useful to hear ow you found sewing up something and your honesty in showing errors -so helpful for the rest of us. I’d like spotlights on techniques. Welt pockets, covered buttons, exposed fancy zips, grommets, etc. thanks!

[@dale4032]

Hacking outfits with patterns and thrift ed clothes .. and sew the look always a favorite.. Congratulations 25k ++++++++++++++

[@arusswurm4733]

Congratulations on 25K from a viewer in Ontario! I really love the Bondi dress - it looks perfect for hot summer days. I'd like to see videos / tips on fabric shopping in Europe and also suggestions on where to find sewing magazines in Europe (eg. knipmode, Burda, etc). Thanks for this giveaway fun and Congratulations again!

[@dlazees]

Congratulations on 25k. Being new to garment sewing, I’ve appreciated that you share where you buy fabrics and patterns. Tutorials would be great to watch for future videos. Thank you!

[@bea-maribotha4438]

Hello from a sunny South Africa. I love your Burda burned orange dress. The making of the dress was the first ever video I watch on your channel. I would love to see some more knitting and a knitting tutorial would be great.

[@noemir8262]

Congratulations! 🎉 I'd like tutorials on easy and tricky stuff. For example, tips for laying out and cutting fabric to help with plackets and cuffs construction.

[@mellou04]

I’ve been enjoying the free pattern videos to get ideas of what’s out there that I would like to sew for myself. I have made garments before but I didn’t choose the right fabric or print/style of garment that I would actually wear. I have a better idea of my style and what works for my lifestyle now so I am considering starting a me-made wardrobe. Video on fabric choice for different articles of clothing would be helpful.

[@solveigtorvanger3864]

Greeting from Denmark. Love your makes both sewing and knitting. Please continue with what you have done sofar ❤️

[@Lisamakes]

Thanks!

[@deniseburke9054]

Hi I love what you do and you are a inspiration to less experienced sewers like myself. I would love a tutorial on the best way to adapt patterns to flatter someone with a round stomach or pattern choices that suit this shape.

[@Chelbyuk]

I’ve been following you for a few years now and I’ve always enjoyed your fabric hauls and plans videos most of all. I do remember a video you made about a Kalle shirt though - the one where you didn’t have QUITE enough fabric but you were able to tweak it (wasn’t it in white fabric?) you’ve inspired me to look at different ways of getting the most out of my pieces of fabric with a lot of your makes. So more videos on that would be good (please🙂) Would also be really inspiring to see how you style your makes differently for different occasions/weather…..?

[@ArkadiaMK]

Congratulations Lisa! I've been watching your channel for 2 or 3 three years when I was sewing a lot. Now I'm watching to get my sojo back after a long hiatus due to my health. In the meantime I became a knitter (out of nowhere it seems), so my creativity could be used that way. I would love to see more sewing/knitting vlogs with all the ups and downs (so relatable and comforting!) and also some summer knitting. I'm also very curious about your finishing techniques or sewing/knitting hacks if you have some. I know I do :)

[@annej88]

Congratulations! I really enjoyed your discussion of the fabrics and their suitability for wearing at different times of year. I'd love to see more of that. My favourites are the Kalle shirt dress, Stockholm dress, and Bondi dress.

[@saltbranchloopacademy318]

Congratulations on 25K! You do a great job on balancing out the sewing with the knitting. I really enjoy it. As a relative new knitter, I fell in love with one of your striped sweaters and am now on the hunt for one I can do. I always enjoy your free pattern videos, too.

[@lynn5209]

I would love to see a sew the look type video with inspo from Sezane, Boden... or whoever inspires you! I would also love sewing tutorials, fabric and pattern hauls and anything Spain.

[@lynnkuiper2389]

Hi Lisa! I loved seeing all of your springs summer dresses! I would love to see what fabric shopping in Italy looks like!

[@denisedorsey2889]

She’s in Spain😊

[@rikkib7636]

I like any sewing related video but I’d love to see more sewing tutorials. An easy summer dress is the first thing that comes to mind. All your makes are lovely, but the shirt dresses and fitted sheath really stand out, probably bc I have them on the sewing brain lately 😅

[@dianem8358]

Love all your makes! I would be interested in seeing pattern reviews, pattern and fabric hauls, and tutorials. Congratulations on your 25K!! 🎉

[@aninehartog3950]

Lisa, I always look forward to your videos both knitting and sewing. It will be nice if you could show how you do buttonholes in a knitting garment

[@denisehargreaves6133]

Hi, I love both sewing and knitting content! I’m impressed with your hacks…so maybe 1 pattern with 2-3 hacks for ideas on getting the most from a tnt pattern. * for the rust Burda dress maybe just two ties sewn in the side seam to slightly take in the back🤷🏼‍♀️💗

[@dawnpettitt1364]

Congratulations on 25K! This video has helped me to regain my sewing mojo. I would like to see more videos on adjusting and refining fit. I think the Burda dress looks great on you!

[@arlenegeres5249]

Hi, Lisa. I love your videos. I would love to see more sewing hacks, and how to speed up our sewing. Lots of love to you!

[@lindatownsend5614]

Congratulations on 25k subscribers Lisa. I would like to see more tutorials from you please. I enjoy it when you share you thought processes with us .

[@TIMAbyFK]

HI Lisa, I have enjoyed watching your journey, and Il love the way you document your makes! Moving forward, I would love to see your monthly makes as you shared in the past, I love your lookbooks and round-ups of garment types that I can reflect on. Thank you!

[@carolsorensen2876]

Long time viewer. Not a knitter, but very much enjoy your sewing & Spain trek videos.

[@foxeymoore]

I loved the video where you sewed the look of the Will jacket by Sezane I would love to see you do more of that type of video.🌹

[@aureliamaple7763]

Hello, Lisa. I would be interesting in seeing tutorials on pattern hacking (how to combine a few patterns in one) and also videos on how to fix your me made garment when it turns out to be too big or too small :)

[@jennichambers5415]

Congrats on 25,000 subscribers🥳. I love the Burda dress on you - it does look more formal than all your other dresses, which may be what looks you off. Fitting and hacking videos are my favourite.

[@susanconnolly8556]

Hello Lisa, I enjoy watching your videos, sewing and knitting. Congratulations on 25k subscribers. You have helped get off the fence for a lot of patterns, sometimes pictures are not enough , I need to see someone move with the piece of clothing. Looking forward to see what you will be making in the coming months.

[@denisedagnone4115]

Congratulations on 25k . I would love to see short tutorials on tricky techniques and finishing off the inside of my garments well 🇦🇺💗

[@nancynewman6592]

Hi I have been following you from Montreal for about 4 years :) I love all the styles of content that you bring for the sewing crafts and knitting crafts as well. I love when you do hacks, so that would be a fun video to see , some new hacks that have inspired you :) Congrats on reaching 25,000 + 🥳

[@create_something_pretty]

Lisa I love all your creative content. Everything making wearable garments is what I love. I love all your lovely clothes and knitting. I think keep doing what your doing. Congratulations on so many subscribers. I could not imagine having that many. I haven't even reach 1000 yet😂. I love your channel. I will be watching regardless of what you decide to do❤❤

[@marleenlanoye8966]

Lisa, I love the vlogs where you present us free patterns and other suggestions! Congrats

[@debsmadethis]

Oh well done on 25 k.🎉🎉 I remember you making those really early makes....love that they are still going strong in your wardrobe ! I love seeing peeks of Spain and Spanish fabric stores included in your vlogs ! I need to get out my Summer clothes and assess them !

[@tinapasic2013]

Congratulations on 25K! love your content. I enjoy makes videos and pattern review, it helps me get familiar with the indy pattern companies and it great to see what the garments look like in real life, not just on a model.

[@christinedoede4929]

Congratulations on 25K. I would like to see a video on ways to line skirts And the best fabrics to use.

[@lynnewollaston4148]

Kalle hack is great. More ideas for hacking patterns you make to make garments for different situations and climates would be useful.

[@tina7505]

Congrats on 25k! I have followed you for a little while and love your sewing vlogs. You are very talented. I would love future sewing tutorial videos on trickier aspects of garments e.g. welt pockets rather than full garments. Thank you for all your hard work.

[@tiffannybowman6342]

Congratulations! I would love to see more videos like this one that include projects that have stood the test of time and that you still reach for.

[@InaTrendyTown]

Congrats Lisa! And thanks for the opportunity to win😊 I would like to continue watching your makes, the fabrics you buy and the new projects and of course the tutorials to learn how to sew

[@jackiebrown2794]

Hi Lisa. Congratulations on reaching 25k 🎉 I love both your knitting and sewing vlogs so I'd like especially to see some knitting tutorials for intermediate level - working raglan sleeve, Italian bind off etc. Love your style and choices of dress patterns and knitted projects. Wishing you well for the year ahead 🏵️

[@karenralcewicz8174]

Would love to see more of your lovely linen dress makes! Love the look of the Tessuti bondi dress.

[@loreleig5062]

Congratulations on 25k+! I’ve been following you from Canada to Spain! Love to see modelling your garments (knitted and sewn) around where you live now!🇨🇦

[@macquadj]

For your Q&A, I love to hear why you chose to move your family to Spain.

[@sosewmad]

I'd love to hear about the KZbinrs that inspire you, congratulations on 25k!

[@RhondaLorch]

25K is an amazing milestone Lisa. Well done! I always love you plans and makes vIdeos. Very inspiring. Also enjoy it when you take us out and about with you. Love to see your me-makes in the wild lol.

[@aidavillegas8052]

Congrats on your 25k!!! 🎉 I don’t see anything wrong with your brick color Burda. I think you look fabulous in it.

[@jilltomlinson4422]

Hi Lisa. Love your hacked Kalle shirt dress, it really suits you. Would love to see tutorials, particularly how you go about hacking a pattern. Thanks for the videos.

[@lisart2488]

Hi Lisa, congratulations. I like plans videos - pattern and fabric pairing. Thanks Lisa x

[@tagliaferrimag]

Greetings from south of France.I love the green linen dress, but everything is perfect. I would like to see some sewing tutorials like how to sew a zipper fly perhaps.

[@madebykarenmarie]

So many lovely makes! I espcially think the green linen (the Vienna tailor) dress and the Charlie caftan are lovely. I really like the free pattern videos you make as well as the makes videos. You have made me aware of pattern companies I otherwise wouldn’t have heard of. Oh, and I used the tutorial for the neckbsnd of the tabor v-neck. Very useful! Keep up the good work!

[@estelledp136]

Congratulations Lisa for your 25k ! Your podcast are so pleasant to listen, as a suggestion for next year, you could share us sew along on your jacks ? Thank you from Quebec 🇨🇦☀️

[@Bloomsewing_studio]

I think what might be off about the red dress is the upper pocket flaps. But I’m not sure. Also, thank you so much for you channel. You have provided me so much inspiration on my sewing journey. Your recent video of the free spring patterns helped me find some amazing pattern companies, as well as, led me to make some super cute skirts. I just finished the peppermint Rosalie and I’m loving it. So thank you!! I would love to see some pattern hacks on your channel. Your hacks are so cute and it would be so cool to see your process!

[@sandraheath5618]

I really like the Burda on you and the colour is great...I just love to see your makes and what's out there in Europe!

[@RT-vh7lo]

I’d love tutorials of all flavors, but especially on how to line a garment

[@sewsarahstitch]

Awesome giveaway Lisa, thank you. I’d like to be nosy and see your sewing space and how you store things! Tutorials will be fab too ❤

[@pattykingkade5778]

Congratulations! I have been watching you since your time in Canada, can’t believe it has been that long. I enjoy watching your planning videos and matching patterns to fabrics.

[@katewright4367]

Always look forward to your videos both knitting and sewing. Love your aesthetic and want to see more of it. I am more in tune with the “j.crew” look than things that have many flounces and lace. Your pattern and fabric combinations are always a winner in my book.

[@sew_paula9499]

Great video as always. I’d love some tours around your local fabric shops and what you like to purchase. Some pattern pairing would be fun too.

[@nightingale3875]

Hi Congratulations on 25k subscribers. I’d like to see additional sewing and knitting tutorials!

[@destooprichardson7756]

Congratulations on 25K! Love all your content, knitting and sewing. Love the way you style everything. I particularly love your makes videos but happy with the variety you offer us.

[@erinm9159]

Congratulations on such a huge milestone. I wold love a Kallie sew along 😊 hi from Vancouver

[@LizzlebyDesign]

Just found your channel and love your aesthetic. I am a knitter and sewist so will look forward to seeing some of your knitted objects as well. It would also be great to see what you're planning for future garments~

[@alager27]

Hi Lisa, amazing makes, all of them are gorgeous 😍 About the rust color dress, maybe is the flaps from the pockets that seem to make it heavier? Have you try using it as a long vest? It could look awesome like that ☺️ Congrats on your 25k! I love seeing your plan videos, they are so inspiring ❤

[@rebecca-72]

Oh goodness, how impressive. Those are all so cute and make me want to unbox my machine again. The green dress with the princess seams is my favorite because also much more fitted than anything I have tried yet. And the way you got the stripes on the longer jumpsuit to coincide 😮. Well done! I would LOVE to get some tutorial videos from you. I am still very much a beginner sewist and easily intimidated. Maybe start with tips for sewing a neat hem on a circle skirt? That was one of my first makes but the hem (close up) is so wonky I only wear it running around the shops on my bike…. Life Question: do you miss Toronto or more enjoy life in Spain? Happy sewing!❤

[@judithlukas2004]

Congratulations Lisa on reaching 25k. I enjoy seeing what you make. And love the dresses. Seeing all the clothing worn I was struck by the cinnamon colored dress that you say you don’t wear a lot.That dress appears out of character to your fun loving vibe. It looks like a dress you’d wear to the office, very professional. The neckline is rounded where the majority of your dresses are v neck and is makes you appear more buttoned up. You might wear it more if you redesigned the neckline to a v neck. Also the eye bounces around with the 4 pockets and doesn’t know where to land. I ‘d be interested to know if you have a capsule wardrobe and how you pick out what to make next?

[@sheenaschultz6935]

Congratulations on your 25k. Love all of your makes. I’d like to see tutorials how about recessed zipper pocket?

[@thaisoneon]

I enjoy your KZbin posts very much. I’d like to know more about your various processes. What’s your criteria for choosing patterns ? Fabrics? How do you learn about and keep track of new pattern ideas so that when the time comes , they’re not forgotten? How do you store sewing patterns, both physical and on your computer? I guess I’m asking for practical advice on the infrastructure of a sewing hobby. (Knitting is so much easier because of Ravelry’s excellence. )

[@heidiwilson1323]

Congrats on reaching this milestone! I love your makes videos and videos that show your life in Spain.

[@talitasmit9337]

Congratulations 🎉 please please a capsule wardrobe with lovely fabric

[@ln9701]

Hi! It’s so nice of you to make this giveaway and I’d like to participate. The fold line is also such a good choice! I rarely comment but as I am I wanted to tell I really enjoy your videos and it just turns on my crafty mind each time. This video format for me made may is really good! Thanks for all the work :)

[@zephyraK]

Congrats and your dresses look great! I'd love to see overviews of patterns you made, for example all t-shirts/skirts etc. I'm always looking for new inspiration. Also plans work fine, or favorite lists.

[@ramonafirehorse]

Congrats on 25k Lisa! I really love that Bondi dress. Tutorials are always fun.

[@helenberry1942]

Congratulations on 25k subscribers Lisa! Would love to see what inspires you to hack patterns.
