Thank you so much!

Hi, hope you will do others videos in 2023 :) I would like to see everything you’ve done in 2022 too :) have a nice day

[@stephtime]

I just filmed it so keep your eyes peeled! It’ll be out soon!!!

[@beverlylee6357]

I really appreciate that you show pictures with the clothing on!

[@joygoncalves4917]

Amazing sewing and designing. Very pretty young woman also.

[@Monah-u9f]

That dress you dont like is actually beautiful

[@carlygrio8468]

The overall quality, aesthetic, and vibe of this video is so beautiful, I couldn’t help but watch it. I can tell you really put a lot of effort into your videos and all of the pictures displayed your projects so well. I found myself wanting to make pieces I never would think to wear, purely because they look so gorgeous on you. I am now going to subscribe and thank the KZbin gods for putting you in my recommended videos.

[@stephtime]

brb crying!! Thank you for your kind words Carly!! They brought a smile to this face ☺️ I’m so glad you enjoyed and liked what I made hehe

[@thebarefoothobbit]

Omg that milkmaid dress

[@stephtime]

Omg it’s my fave

[@sf55514]

I have a friend in Connecticut who has made a small fortune doing alterations she had to have employees to help she stays so busy. Your sitting on a gold mine just knowing how to sew. Start an in home business with very little advertising you could really do well. Everything coming from foreign countries nothing fits correctly or just needs a hem etc. The town my son lived in had 1 person that did alterations the wait time for her was over 2 years she didn't hire employees. That goes for anyone that sews. The person I had do my alterations passed away. She kept busy and lived quite well.

[@stephtime]

that's awesome! it is a useful skill to have.

[@238Tina1]

That patch work sweater made my jaw hit the floor. Amazing quality work 😍🤩

[@stephtime]

Hehe thank you!!!

[@genmadeit8537]

I really enjoy watching people going through the things they made! My decision to make the Helena wrap dress was heavily influenced by yours 🥰

[@stephtime]

thats so exciting to hear!! thank you for following along, this video was fun to make!!

[@joygoncalves4917]

I so wish I had asked family members who sewed teach me as a child. You are SO Amazing and versatile. Wow.

[@stephtime]

Thank you so much!! I’m self taught (even though my grandma was a collector of hobbies haha) but there’s nothing like passed down wisdom!! 🧡

[@heyspeckle8782]

I really love all the thrifted fabrics! Where I live, thrift stores really suck, so I'm kinda jealous of all the nice bedsheets you can get at yours! :D

[@stephtime]

thank you!! thats a bummer about your thrift stores. there was this IG page, @shopwellfibre, who used to sell secondhand fabrics, but they're no longer active. i feel like theres a market for this though!!

[@twentysevenand]

Check out A Thrifty Notion online. They sell secondhand fabric! Also, Etsy. I've also been lucky just hawking FB Marketplace and the NextDoor app for neighbors destashing their fabric.

[@lenabanx6221]

I adore almost all of these pieces! It's refreshing to see someones self-made garments that aren't exclusively "50's, 60's" aesthetic. It seems like all I can ever find on youtube honestly but I'm convinced its just youtube recommendations seriously letting me down. What got me into sewing was wanting to sew my own clothes that fit me really well, are current and trendy, yet don't fund these fast fashion companies that don't think twice about sustainability. Your entire years creations definitely give me hope that I just need to find the right patterns and keep digging around haha.

[@stephtime]

Aww thank you!! Yes that was a huge part of it for me as well. It’s difficult to find the right patterns, as a lot can be a little uninspired, but I’m glad you found some inspo here!! 🤍

[@miraa1900]

wowowow you're almost at a garment a week. it's fun to hear about what you liked and didn't like about the pieces. I also made a cozy mock neck sweater and I live in deep winter for like 4 months of a year so it's great but I think I might have to frog that baby and make it a smaller size... or maybe just scrap it all together, who knows. yarn and sizing is hard! I also get too excited to do some finishing sometimes and so ya girl has a rack of dresses that need some finished hems. fun vid :) great aesthetic, superb vibes

[@stephtime]

when i got everything on the rack, i was like sheeeesh i did this in a year?? yarn sizing is hard haha, i bet it keeps you warm! now that i've followed some patterns to a T, i've started freestyling a bit and it's been nice! frog it and see what else you can make! i love that aspect of yarn v fabric. haha. yes hemming is the hardest easiest part! to more finished hems in 2022. :)

[@abbiegrier207]

these are AMAAAZING!! I loved everything and want to make them all! I also want to learn how to knit now!

[@stephtime]

thank you Abbie!! i would definitely suggest trying knitting! i have a vid coming out soon on great beginner knitting patterns, i hope you will find it helpful!

[@_C_R_J]

This was so inspiring. I'm just getting back into sewing after more than 10 years. The patterns and your fabric choices and style are so cool.

[@stephtime]

Yay!! Glad you’re feeling inspired and getting back into it. Thank you so much!

[@Sophie-tj2bp]

I love all of these so so much - so inspired to continue sewing in 2022 ❤️❤️

Thank you! 🥰

[@serena3851]

Your garments are gorgeous and I like the color palette. I fell in love with the helena wrap dress, definitely inspired me to do something similar

[@stephtime]

thank you!! i definitely feel as though i'm nailing down my color palette, though it changes with the seasons hehe. the helena is so well done, and you can't beat a wrap dress in the summer!

[@bellasmith8821]

I love this!!! They all look so amazing! I'm so happy for you 😁 I need to get back into trying to learn how to sew but I'm so intimidated by my overlocker/serger 😬 but I'll get there!

[@stephtime]

thank you bella! the serger can definitely be intimidating, but the more you try, the more you learn!

[@thebarefoothobbit]

I love watching these types of videos, but your personality tops everything else I've seen. You look like you could be my best friend haha. I have been sewing for 14 years but hopped off the wagon a bit recently. I think its time to get back in.

[@stephtime]

🥰🥰 hi bestie!!! Hehe

[@stimpsonkayleigh257]

This is my first video of yours I've seen...your cat is so cute, the color pallet of your wardrobe is amazing, and your vibe is 👌🏻✨ I can't wait to binge watch the rest of your videos!

Incredible collection, very fun pieces!

[@marodlm3406]

Love from France ! Which camera do you use to record your videos ? I love the Colors it’s just amazing . Take care ⭐️

[@mariamurray7675]

I just discovered this video randomly (thank you YT!) and thoroughly enjoyed seeing everything you made. Your style and many of the designers and patterns that you used are very different for me and that is fantastic. I follow other sewers on youtube, who I love, but many of them use the same patterns and often the same fabrics. So your channel is really refreshing. You seem to be very creative and fearless and that's inspiring. The Helena Wrap Dress is now on my list I've subscribed and look forward to seeing more!

[@stephtime]

thank you YT!!!

[@thebarefoothobbit]

This is what I was thinking too! Everyone else is talented but also pretty basic. But this is so unique and wonderful!

[@stephtime]

@@thebarefoothobbit you're too kind hehe :)

[@AnEditedLife]

I love this video so SO much! I love your style! I think I'm still figuring my sewing style out! Choosing fabrics can be tricky to pair with a particular pattern. But a pleasure to watch as always! Happy Sewing!

[@stephtime]

i'm definitely still figuring out my style as well!! I like to let the fabric tell me what it wants to be, but sometimes its immediate and other times it takes like a year hahah thank you for watching!!

[@AnEditedLife]

@@stephtime that's such a cool way of thinking about it! Thanks!

[@barbginn6569]

Well I’ve just found you…..what beautiful work you do and your video is beautiful….there was not one thing I didn’t like on you, and your colour pallet is perfect for you. I can’t wait to see more from you! Well done

[@stephtime]

aww thank you so much Barb!! so glad you're here :)

[@miriam-moore]

I learned pretty soon that unfinished knits look better unfinished I don’t finish any edges at the neck line or any hems and they look great

[@miranda1113]

these are incredible!!! I love these all so much. I'm trying to get back into sewing this year and these kinds of videos inspire me to do so. Would also love to learn how you adjust the sleeves on a fit so it doesn't lift up when you raise your arms.

[@stephtime]

yay!! good luck getting back into it! :) i've found that the closer the armscye is to the armpit, the less shirt will lift up! (so it was never totally solved on my gilbert's due to the looser fit)

[@map2932]

Home school mom in the 90’s! Lol I was one. You have accomplished a lot of great sewing!

[@stephtime]

Hahaha I bet you had awesome outfits 🥰

[@izzysmith4353]

I’m thinking about starting sewing. I have a basic sewing machine already but I found a nice short sleeve mock neck top pattern. I’m not sure whether it’s too much of a stretch for a first garment or if it would just be a nice challenge. All of these pieces look amazing and make me even more interested in trying to start sewing my own clothes.

[@stephtime]

that sounds super cute! i say go for it. The reality is that you will probably make a couple of mistakes, but it's the best way to learn in my opinion. Not to mention looking forward to a cute top will keep you going through any issues!!

[@izzysmith4353]

@@stephtime the top looks like it will be really nice and I’ve found a nice cow print fabric on Etsy for it so I’ll probably order it tomorrow and then I’ll see how it turns out.

[@stephtime]

@@izzysmith4353 so fun! what pattern are you using?

[@izzysmith4353]

@@stephtime I’m making the cap sleeve mock neck top by KianaBonolloDesigns. I think it will look really nice and unique in a cow print fabric

[@stephtime]

@@izzysmith4353 that’s gonna be SO cute! All of her designs are so good! Just use a zigzag stitch for stretchy fabric and you’ll be fine!

[@joprice6269]

hihi! i've really been enjoying ur videos since i found ur channel a couple of months back! i too am trying to perfect the fit of the Gilbert top. what kind of adjustment did u do to ur sleeves after the sba? tysm!

[@stephtime]

Hey there!! i ended up widening the shirt a bit, doing a SBA, straightening the sides and slash and spread the sleeves. i would also add width to the actual sleeve in addition to that for my next one. i have all of my toiles outlined on my IG if that helps!!!

[@gammayin3245]

That dress you don't like . . . you could add another tier to the bottom? Might be the ticket!

[@stephtime]

That is a great idea! I made it from a thrifted jumpsuit so there’s no fabric left 😂

it's a good one, and it knits up pretty quick!!! :)

[@jacquiejy]

I love the little bustier! You said it has a nice texture and it's a vintage fabric. I'm wondering if it's what's known as bark cloth? Lots of Hawaiian pieces were made with this in the 60s and probably earlier.

[@stephtime]

wow!! thank you so much for commenting. i think it is! it has a bark-like texture made of thickly spun fibers. the more you know!!
