Friday Sews Ep 1 BTPD Unboxing

[@kimberly2310]

It may help to realize those snarky commenters are not on social media to learn or enjoy anything about sewing--they are damaged people trolling social media, looking to give themselves a temporary boost by diminishing others. It's not about you, or any other content creator--it's about them and their brokenness. And they seem to crop up everywhere. It feels so personal, but it's what they do with everyone. I enjoy all the sewing people I watch on KZbin and have learned a lot! One of the things I've learned is that there are a lot of terrific fabric shops where you are. I live in an area that seems to be lacking choices (New Mexico, US), but I think there are fewer independent fabric retailers in this country, and those that we do have are clustered in more metropolitan areas. So I get a vicarious kick out of seeing your hauls and then what you eventually do with them. Thanks!

[@rebeccawalker5295]

Hi Rachel, I don’t always comment on videos I watch but wanted to say thank you for all you do for the sewing community. I’m sorry that you have received some negative comments. People can be very thoughtless. Please know that we love watching you and appreciate your makes and inspiration 🥰

[@aileenyoung6999]

I’m sorry you have received negative comments don’t let it get to you look at all the positive ones you get. I have lived in Australia for the last 10 years and look forward to your vlogs it’s like having a chat with a friend from home. I am very envious of your stash as the fabric choice here is not as expansive as the UK, although it is improving. Keep up the vlogs show all your fabrics and be proud of your makes the good, bad and the disappointments. Love you Liberty print.

[@Peg06]

This may be a new one for you: I don't sew. I used to make my clothes when I was younger, but no more. Yet I love your channel and am excited for each new video. I found your channel last December after searching KZbin for Vlogmas, just checking to see if anything interesting was about. I was hooked after watching one video, not because of sewing but because of you! You are genuine and unafraid of being who you are, and as you've just proved, you can politely kick butt.😉 Hope your dad is soon better!

[@seaside2001]

Oh goodness, imagine if everybody liked the same fabric? We would all be wearing the same thing. It is called a uniform. lol

[@magsohara7908]

Hi Rachel. It’s completely unnecessary for people to leave negative comments to you (or any other KZbinr). There is an “Off Button” for anyone that isn’t interested in watching you guys. Thank you for taking the time to give us the benefit of your knowledge and for sharing your interest in sewing 🤓🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@sewmuchsewing]

I often feel awkward even when I make a positive comment as I can feel "who do I think I am???!!! Why would they care what I think?" You lot ( vloggers) are amazing. I'm so happy you take the time to make content for us. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU.

[@christineallen162]

Enjoyed your vlog and that liberty fabric 😍😍. I’m a great believer in the quote by Thumper in Bambi who said ‘if you can’t say anything nice, then don’t say anything at all’. Look forward to the next live, what a Sunday that will be 😀xx

[@marthaellensmith7913]

You are so right! Negative comments serve no useful purpose and are not necessary. I watch for the positivity I get from youtubers, as well as the info about sewing. I enjoy your podcasts because they are always interesting, with fun fabrics (love the blue paisley btw). You are not negative, why should comments be?

[@brendacassidy6361]

I thought you dealt with the very rude and disrespectful comments superbly as l was livid for you. The whole point of sewing our own clothes is to pick what WE LOVE and as with all the previous comments l really appreciate your time and effort in providing vlogs and such fabulous inspiration. I don't have friends who sew so I look forward to seeing all my favourite sewing vloggers. I hit play as soon as l see you pop up! Keep up all the good work 😉

[@valerieoldfield3481]

Thank you for the time and effort you put into yours videos ,Rachel. I am a regular viewer and have followed you for a few years. I look forward to seeing your latest makes. Ignore those negative comments. Some people aren't happy unless they are miserable. Sending hugs your way xx

[@janieceprieur7068]

First Rachel - I want to thank you for doing your vlogs. I always enjoy them. I really like seeing them and what you are making. The anonymity of social media has allowed people to make hurtful comments on various platforms which I totally dislike. It shows how ugly people can be. I am glad you spoke up. I agreed with what you said. For what it is worth, I think your fabric choices to make the skirt were just fine together. And once the skirt is made, I am sure it will look beautiful.

[@suzannehill3795]

Love your vlogs and find you to be so inspiring keep up the great work.

[@juliewilde663]

So sorry for the negative comments! You put alot of hard work and time into your vlogs. I truly enjoy all your vlogs-it like being with a friend!! THANK YOU!!! Praying for your dad.

[@alexisrodriguez4541]

You’re such a kind soul to work your lives around other KZbinrs 🥰 I just want you to know I appreciate your videos and love watching what you make.

[@sarahmay3307]

I had two fabrics in my basket from rainbow fabrics - the white brod anglaise and the blue and white linen jersey. Both of which you bought! I didn’t buy them - as no plans for them and I only got free postage and not 30% off! You lucky thing. I hope your Dad is improving in hospital. I saw the comments on your previous blog - I don’t get it either as I was brought up not to say unkind things - but nuances in the written word are difficult. Some people only look for the negatives. I applaud you for making You Tube content as even a few negative comments would feed into my mental health and add to those critical voices in my head. I know it’s easier said than done to ignore them but I’m sure 99.9% of people who watch you are supportive and appreciative of what you do.

[@elywolf9825]

Hi Rachel, Hope your Dad gets better soon! I wanted to say that I'm always amazed, at how much work goes into all the Vlogs the (You Tube) community put in. When the rest of us are just sitting back and enjoying the content that took a lot of your time. I'm sure it takes up lots of your sewing time to put a Vlog together. I just wanted to say how much the sewing community has helped lots of us through difficult times, Thank You! Love all your makes, and that you share even the things you felt weren't quite right. Love your taste in fabric, and I'm always a bit jealous of your Beautiful stash, just want to come over and touch all the fabric. I also wanted to say that I'm sure that I and many other people have watched all of your Live Sew_a_longs, and just couldn't comment when you were on, but really enjoyed them. Thanks so much for the time and effort you put in for all of us! Liz from South Florida ☀️😎

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

Oooh the Rosalee in that fabric 😍. Really hope you manage to squeeze it out of that because it will look stunning! Well done for addressing unnecessary comments and how it makes us feel. Yes we put ourselves out there but people need to think if they’d say it to your face. We’re real people with real emotions 😘

[@angelastratton9851]

Hi Rachel. Like others I don’t always comment on the vlogs and I’ve only been sewing for a couple of years. I found your you tube site about 15 months ago and really enjoy them. They are so helpful and chatty and I look forward to viewing them. Keep doing what you do it’s very much appreciated 👏😊

[@vernabohnert635]

I can’t believe some people! You are a lovely person and I really admire everything that you do! Keep up your upbeat videos because you get me in the mood to accomplish more! Thanks for sharing 😋

[@salliecook7528]

I know what you mean by sometimes we may write things that may not really be as harsh as inteneded. I love your vlogmas and what you say and do, and share with us. We all have to just remember, that one of the reasons we sew is so we can be as eccentric, crazy, or just be as we want!!!!!! I think your tierd skirt is going to be spectaucular. Don't let the others get you down. I have a bit of the crazy fabric choices that sometimes even surprise me!!!! Sometimes good, sometimes not so good. But I so enjoy the process!!!!!!! My first sewing project in 4-H was an apron. Even my mother gave me the impression that she was not quite sure my choice of fabric would work. Well, I recieved a blue ribbon and have just continued on with my slightly "off" fabric choices!!!!! So, embrace your wonderful creativty. Sorry I was so long winded!!!!

[@bellepoupee61]

Bonjour Rachel! Your vlogs are lovely... I don’t understand why people are so rude and negative in our world there is enough of that now... love your sewing and specially your giant stash! LOL! Have a wonderful day! Christine 🇨🇦

[@sewonsister]

I'm glad you brought up the negative comments. We all need to remember to be kind. Sometimes that means not saying anything at all. I always appreciate your vlogs. Thank you for taking the time to make them. I hope you get more time to sew soon! I have the same issue here, but I'll just keep at it as I can. Happy sewing!

[@Beyondthepinkdoor]

Thank you so much for the lovely feedback on our Sewscription box . I love your possible plans for the fabric . It will make a gorgeous Rosalee or Southport . That Liberty fabric is absolutely amazing , love it. A Paddington is a super idea. Thank you for considering my live when you’re planning your sewalong , that’s very kind 💕. I’m definitely a believer too in ,’if you’ve nothing good to say , please say nothing at all’ .. thankfully we are very lucky to have a hundred wonderful comments to every negative one

[@daveambrose7904]

Hi Rachel, I love your vlogs. I started watching you at the beginning of last year and you have inspired me to start sewing again, thank you. I love your vlogs so much I have started watching all of them from the beginning! When I sew I always have your vlogs playing in the background. Don’t stop doing what you are doing so many of us really appreciate it, more than you will ever know, thank you, Alison xx

[@juliephillip8490]

I don't normally comment but I felt the need to say, well said. There is one channel that I watch, I wouldn't wear what she makes but that's her style and I love watching her. There isn't any need for negative comments, if yoh don't like something, keep it to yourself or stop watching. Putting someone down if they haven't asked for an opinion is not healthy on that persons mental health. You have no idea what is going on in their lives. I hope you don't let negative people spoil it for you. X

[@marlenejensen8881]

I always look forward to your vlogs. To heck with negative comments. I admire your letting us into your sewing world and hope you continue publishing them for years to come!

[@janerichardson7858]

I love your choices, I'm going to download all the blouses. As for the comments, I would be thrown off KZbin because I would tell people what I thought of their comments 😂🌻

[@shelliehood1943]

I just wanted to say I love your videos. I don't comment often, but I'm always excited to see a new video pop up from you. I really appreciate all the time and effort you put into your channel. I am always so entertained and inspired by you! Take care🥰

[@zoeydowell6763]

Hi Rachel, that was me☝🏾 helpfully reminding you to buy fabric during your live 🙈!! My fabric also arrived yesterday from Rainbow Fabrics and I am already making plans. We love your blogs, and we are thankful you are taking the time out of your busy life to bring us some sewing joy, leep going, some people are thoughtless and do not understand the impact their words have. Can't wait to see your boden blouse recreation!

[@thestitchywife]

Thank you Rachel for another amazing vlog💕💕You are truly one of the most inspiring sewing cloggers out there. You together with some others have kept me company during some very tough years. I am so greatful for that and for the fact that you dare to share both the good and the bad the ugly and beautiful. And you are not afraid to address all of it. (You given me the encouragement to start my own vlog and I can not thank you enough for that. )I know that a lot of people say we should silence “the negativity “and not give these persons any acknowledgement and I completely agree but I think it is so important to do just what you did-address it and show that it does affect us and it is not ok. Thank you💕Take care and have a wonderful weekend (hope you dad is ok-it is so tough having a loved one suffer💕💕💕)/Elisabeth

[@katee3495]

I love your blogs and feel like I know you through them. Your discussion of the negative comments was eloquently put and very insightful. I too saw the comments and was astonished some people thought that was a useful thing to write. In fact I was one of the ones who put a positive comment to try and outweigh the negative ones, as I could imagine how disheartening it would have been to read those negative ones and wanted to do what I could to eradicate that feeling. I noticed that other people did the same thing as me. So many of us love what you do and can’t wait to see each of your videos when they appear. On a separate note - wow to the Beyond the Pink door fabric! I utterly love with that and really hope Andrea has it for sale at some point in the future!

[@majvorfonseca7941]

I always look forward to your vlogs and I truly enjoy them all. You are entertaining to watch, a fun and great sewist as well as honest about your feelings. 👏🏻😊

[@wendycooper5176]

I love your vlogs all of them keep up the great work I really appreciate watching you😘

[@leslies4104]

Thank you for sharing what you have experienced lately regarding your SewFrugal vlog content. I could never do what you are doing. Please keep continuing and try not to get discouraged. I love watching your vlog and sew alongs! By the way, your fabric stash is amazing!

[@anessaharris9947]

🇨🇦😃 thank you for sharing with us it makes my day better when your vlogs pop up! I just love to hear about what you’ve been up to. Have a great week!

[@gwendearling4139]

Thank you for all the time and energy you put into your channel. I look forward to each segment.

[@janemarchant2558]

Hi Rachel, don’t take any notice of negativity, you’re doing a great job and you enable many people to use fabric you wouldn’t necessarily put together, I think it’s really clever. Well done you xxxxx

[@heatherrees9331]

Ugh if you have haters it means you’ve made it! I love your vlogs and enjoy seeing all your makes etc. you’re amazing and so grateful for you.

[@marathorne6821]

I can't get my head around thoughtless or wanton negativity on social media, either. It says far more about the small-mindedness of the perpetrators than about those who generously and bravely create content for others to enjoy. I can assure you that there are many thousands of people who look forward to and appreciate your vlogs, Rachel, so don't be put off - keep them coming! There is more love in this community than I think I have ever found elsewhere online. Chin up, lass! 😁

[@sharoncrawford6450]

I always enjoy your videos. I think you have fabulous taste in fabrics. I appreciate the time and effort you take to make these videos. Unfortunately there will be a few that are negative no matter what and that’s their problem. If they don’t like the content then they need to stop watching the video. You keep up the good work with your videos…we enjoy them 👗🧵🪡🥰

[@isabellaitkenhead9254]

Hi Rachel I'm with you if you've nothing positive to say then say nothing, I personally love your vlogs and seeing what fabric you've been buying ,gives me a wee bit inspiration. So thankyou 💓

[@lindsaym8546]

Really sorry to hear about the negative comments. I really enjoy your vlogs and appreciate the huge amount of time and effort you put in to making them 😊

[@annasellborn2590]

I appriciate that you shared your experience from the negative comments. I had to deal with similar situations when teaching yoga. Your authenticity in this helped me feel a bit better, it's not only me who isn't made of stainless steel, and that's a good thing. A positive side effect from trolls 🥰 Lots of love from Anna in Sweden

[@Alli.sewnsews]

I love watching your vlogs and really appreciate the time that must go into making them. They make me smile when watching, seeing your new fabric purchases and all your inspiring makes. We must remember to be kind and that applies to any comments on posts here on you tube but on other social media too. The vast majority of the sewing community are the loveliest people you could ever wish to find, please don’t let the few negative comments get you down.

[@tracybarnes6608]

I agree with Christine about the saying,that’s what I grew up thinking. I do not have the same taste in fabric prints but it doesn’t stop me enjoying seeing what you are sewing,I find it really inspiring,and I’m from Yorkshire too ( living in US). Idk how you fit in filming and editing with your job but Ty so much xxx

[@wendyware9738]

I always enjoy your vlogs and agree it’s sad if some people can only make negative comments. I fully appreciate you and others for all the time you put in so big thanks

[@anneelias5610]

I am so sorry that you have received negative comments and they have affected you. Rachel, I love your vlogs and I always look forward to them. Watching you is my reward after a day of study! Thank you for all that you do for us!

[@jackiewilkinson8357]

Rachel, you have been my friend from the other side of the world ever since you started. Why some people choose to be negative to someone doing their best is quite beyond me. Sadly, not everyone is nice and fortunately they don’t form part of our real lives. You mentioned how someone focuses on the one thing that doesn’t appeal. Possibly that’s the last thing they see so they forget about what went before. Take no notice, they aren’t worth it. Love your work ❤️

[@ruthstrugnell]

Love your videos. I don't expect people to make exactly the same choices as me or have the same taste but I still love hearing about your decisions - it helps me work out fabric choices for the patterns I want to make and work out what I don't want to do and avoid mistakes. I find watching people who make different choices to me more inspiring - it's how I have new ideas. Just remember there are vastly more positive than negative reactions to what you do.

[@angiem767]

thank you for all your hand work. I enjoy all you volgs you inspire me to sew.

[@lizsheridan5357]

Loved how you addressed this issue, of course we sometimes think 'crikey I wouldn't have chosen that fabric or pattern or colour' but I watch vlogs to be entertained, stimulated, inspired and to see what works or doesn't. I make decisions about whether to go ahead with a plan or not based on vloggers experience and I am so grateful for the time and effort you guy's put into producing such great content. I totally get your confusion about why someone would pick out one aspect of a video which is your personal taste to criticize. Fair play to you for sticking at it.

[@debby_sews]

Hi Rachael, I'm really sorry you've received negative comments from what I can only presume are negative people about your Sew Frugal challenge vlog. As you say in your vlog, peoples taste is theirs and theirs alone. I love your vlogs and watch them all. I don't feel your style is my style and that is fine as I am 63 and you are much younger and completely different shape, but what I do appreciate is your time and effort putting together a vlog to inspire others. Your choice of fabrics as with everyone's again is a personal choice but I am also inspired by your choices sometimes when I see the fabulous results you get and often which pushes me out of my sewing comfort zone. You sew such a beautiful and varied garments and have lots of different styles that if I miss a vlog and its mentioned on instagram I suffer greatly with fimo. 😍 You introduce new patterns and new fabric suppliers which we may never have heard of and which we can support the small independent suppliers. As my mum says, if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. I'm trying to put together a vlog with hubby and I know it is not easy when you are working full time in a pressurised job. Please keep up the good work and try not to take the occasional 'bad' comment overshadow all of the wonderful comments and love you get from this great community of like minded people.

[@graceinwood-nan-that-sews-9852]

Thank you for honesty how you felt with the comments, very sad to hear about it. Keep going, you are doing a wonderful job 😍

[@janetyler1642]

I’m so sorry to hear you have received negative comments. I’m sure that’s very upsetting and if they haven’t got anything good to say they really should keep their opinions to themselves! I always appreciate all the sewing content you put out there and your honest view and take on everything! Love the new fabrics and your sewing plans as usual ❤️

[@janice-aztowy]

I look forward to your vlogs. Thank you for taking the time to create them. I find them inspiring

[@jacquistyles4276]

Please don’t let other people’s negative comments affect you. You make really enjoyable vlogs. I agree we are all different in our styles and choice of fabric etc. Basically those people who make negative comments would do well to remember that if you can’t say anything nice then don’t say anything at all xxx

[@emmaderrick2485]

Always surprises me when people can pick one negative thing to say when there are always so many positives to comment on...I love to watch your Vlogs....thanks

[@cherylcentenioblessedvirgi3241]

I love your new fabrics. I enjoyed watching your vlog as always. Thank you for sharing.

[@frocking_adventures6748]

Well done for saying something about the negative comments, that took a lot of courage❤. I was quite shocked by a couple of the comments I read on your Frugal vlog, so I'm pleased you've addressed it. Keep up the excellent work👏👏👏

[@joycejones7459]

I have always enjoyed your channel, good for you for expressing your thoughts on the subject of trolling. Life would be dull without all of you sewing vloggers and you are in my top favourites. I hope your dad gets better soon.❤️

[@elaine58100]

I absolutely love your vlogs Rachel and I appreciate the time and effort that must go into doing all of this for all us and sharing your passion. My parents use to say to me, '' if you haven't anything nice to say, then don't say anything at all". Take care and take no notice of these types of people who hide behind a wall. xx

[@fionnualaryan7584]

Thank you Rachel, sorry that somebody was negative. I enjoy your blogs

[@dawnwiltshaw7153]

Hi Rachel I for one really enjoy all your vlogs .THANK YOU for sharing love to see what you make and your fabric and your lovely family .I agree with thumper also ,don’t let them get to you ,you are a lovely lady keep your chin up 🐰can not wait for your next blog 😍Dawn

[@mariabull1947]

Oh I really loved the look of the Boden blouse the honey blouse would be perfect! I really enjoy your vlogs they are great I respect and & admire everyone that does them the time and effort and content must take ages! The Liberty fabric is gorgeous look forward to seeing what you make with it! 💕

[@EileenR11]

Lovely to hear from you as always. Really looking forward to the sewalong. That Liberty fabric is just beautiful as is Andrea's. I hope your Dad is better soon. Sorry to hear about the negative comments - your vlogs and videos are great and give so much to others. Take care. x

[@seeit.sewit.sorted6255]

So great to hear the next sew along is on a Sunday, picked my fave top, but just realised its Mothers Day!! Hopefully will make it too Aprils 🤞Look forward to seeing what gets chosen though, and everyone's makes xx

[@texasproud8822]

It’s interesting to me that expensive brands of clothing can be “the trend setter and highly revered” for wild print and color combinations and yet a home sewer isn’t. Seeing different creative ideas is a huge benefit to all of us. Thank you for your dedication and time.

[@janevellenderartist]

Great vlog as always. Really Enjoy your content. Agree with what you say that sort of negativity is unnecessary and unwarranted. Its so nice to see such engaging and varied sewing content. I have no friends who sew so its nice to feel part of a like minded community. Love your new fabrics x.

[@lavadajenkins2955]

I love all your fabrics! Can't wait to see what you make.my Mama always said if you can't say something nice, say nothing at all. I'm sorry you got those negative comments.

[@mariareina1423]

Top of the morning Rachel. It's been peeing it down here in Sussex pretty much all week (if that makes you feel any better). Please know that you really are an inspiration.. I really look forwards to your uploads, When I see a little dot by your name on my subs list I do a little happy dance, grab a cuppa and drag my laptop around the house so that I can listen watch and learn. Thank you for being you and for sharing with us. BTW - I loved the print blocking idea, Boho all the way. xxx

[@sallydingle321]

Hi Rachel, the box looks amazing and such beautiful fabric... I hope you have enough for the Experimental Space dress.. I've always admired that one 💕👌😁😘

[@karenegan2640]

I also bought some fabric thanks for enabling me. I’m sorry you are having troll trouble, as long as you like what you make it’s nowt to do with anyone else. My mum taught me if you have nowt nice to say then say nowt. People can be so rude. Keep doing what you’re doing, there are lots of us who love to watch and listen to all you fabulous vloggers, please don’t let them stop you. Sending a big hug xx

[@christinemartin9449]

Hi, late to the party, as usual. I can't believe that some people are so rude! Perhaps these people should remember, if they can't say anything good, don't say anything at all! People should remember that they get so much information and entertainment for free from you vloggers. Every time I comment I thank you all for doing the videos. Please don't let these rude people stop you doing these vlogs, so many people really enjoy them. I have cut out my blouse for Sunday and I am raring to go! Thanks for doing these videos.

[@madebykarenmarie]

Great vlog as always! I started sewing after I lost my mum 5 years ago, and I watched sewing vlogs, like yours, with discussions on fabrics, pattern reviews etc., and I just loved them. I have learned a lot from you, and seeing as none of my friends sew (and due to the pandemic, I have barely seen my friends anyway) it has felt so nice to belong to the community online. I am sorry that you have had negative comments. Making content online , and particularly when speaking directly into the camera, is an act that requires some bravery, and I can often feel a little vulnerable. I will never condone bad behaviour, but Ihonestly think that negative comments often are a result of thoughtlessness, rather than spite and malice. It’s a result of the immediate impression, and the ease and speed of posting, I think. And I also think that people who don’t make videos themselves have NO idea how much time and work it takes. I am glad you address this, Rachel. We all need a reminder sometimes. Love your fabrics, btw. The Libery is stunning! And I think the True bias southport dress would be a great choice for the Think Pink viscose. (Oh, or maybe the True Bias Maven skirt? That would be lovely, too..) Thank you for vlogging - I really appreciate your frank and open style!

[@lianec6135]

I love your vlogs. Keep doing what you do as it's great and hopefully people will take on board your comments. Negativity is unnecessary, people need to learn to be nice or not say anything. ❤🤗

[@annettevaughn9451]

I just responded to Sian to say that if it wasn’t for the two of you plus Whitney at Tomcat Stitchery I don’t know how I would have gotten through Covid. Ignore negative comments because most of us appreciate your vlog and the way you approach sewing. Life can’t be ruled by negative comments, go with what you know and most of us will follow.

[@suebryant4237]

Hi Rachel, We really could see how upset you were regarding the negative comments, i really felt choked for you, the sewing community and especially vloggers, including yourself have helped keep me sane throughout the lock downs, and I’m so grateful, the amount of time and effort these vlogs must take? I don’t know how you do it, how dare this person criticise your choice of fabric for a project! How petty, if that person is reading this you should be ashamed of yourself, please don’t take this one negative comment to heart Rachel, for one negative comment there are hundred’s who look forward to your vlogs, stay strong Rachel we love you

[@lynnelister7364]

Thank you Rachel for another fabulous vlog I’m waiting for my delivery from Rainbow Fabrics to arrive 🌈 I love your choice of fabrics. BTPD sewscription box is amazing and I’m looking forward to seeing what you decide to make. I’m sorry that you’ve experienced some negative comments some people are just very unappreciative with all the hard work it takes to produce a vlog. Take care and happy sewing 🧵 🥰

[@shirleyannduncan4419]

Great blog as usual Rachel 😍 love watching all your vlogs and glad you're doing a Friday sews. For info, I keep hoping that one of these years we will see you pop up on sewing bee 😂

[@flosimonsen8162]

Don't worry about the naysayers Racheal, you are doing a great job. Just love your podcast snd sewalongd, just a side note, I did manage to fix my collar on my fleece in a vintage pattern. Cut the upper & lower collars in half and added a five inch piece to both, right in the middle, it lo,oks like its part of the jacket. Also had another collar problem with a free pattern hack, so I guess I just hsve to be more careful about cutting out collars! Lol

[@louisecampbell8094]

Hi Rachel I am sorry that someone has upset you with their rude comment, they obviously have nothing better to do! I absolutely love your channel and the positive inspiration you give. Thank you for all your time and effort that you put in to each vlog. Your amazing never forget that xx

[@marianweber831]

So sorry you have to deal with those negative comments Rachel. I could tell it really offended you. I believe if you don't like something just scroll past. Please don't let that discourage you. I really appreciate you taking the time to share your vlogs with us. I look forward to your vlogs and enjoy them. Hugs

[@suzyhattaway9860]

Rachel, I always enjoy your videos and I'm grateful that you put so much effort into putting them together. It's such a shame that people occasionally make negative remarks. It's very rude and hurtful.

[@judithglavas9030]

I am so very sorry to hear about the negative comments! You are a beautiful person. Please don’t let it get you down.

💙💙💙💙💙 I'm not looking at that Liberty fabric......😍😍😍😍😍 I am planning on Hang Outs every Sunday this month. I shall make sure to finish on time for yours and head over to watch/sew with you 😊

[@Dizzyknitsandcurls]

Sending good thoughts for your father, and love an unboxing 😀

[@liza_lou]

You addressed the comment issue so tactfully, I agree, I watch for entertainment and appreciation of your artistic vision. It is in poor taste to comment on someone else's plans and personal decisions that are suited to them. I enjoy your videos and the work you put into them :)

[@tanyaellis5433]

Lovely vlog and I love your jumper its really nice. Negativity is awful and I think some people relish in it just to be awkward. I think you are a really nice person and best to scroll on by them. I also loved your pattern of the Trina dress but like you said you move and all pops out. I have just ordered it from the Fold Line girls in A0 coz Im hopeless at PDF. I am going to try and hack the front somehow. Also I use an online fabric shop called Shriya Fabrics its a facebook group. He has some nice viscose on their and very very reasonable. He has Indian fabrics as well. Very helpful too. You may not like anything but its worth a look. Please keep your vlogs coming. Thank you Rachel xx

I purchased the same liberty fabric Rachel, as I was the same - loved it. Not sure what I’m making yet but think Paddington would be lovely. X

Sorry that someone was so cruel. We do know that it takes time, planning and a passion for you to take time to share. Just wanted to let you know I truly enjoy your content.

I’m sorry that you’ve received negative comments, I personally look forward to seeing yours and others sewing vlogs. Respect costs nothing but speaks volumes. Please don’t let the negativity get you down, the majority of your followers respect your style and choices and are thankful for your vlogs. I was lucky enough to get one of Andrea & Cerys’ boxes so can’t wait to see what you make. I hope your dad is ok and gets well soon x

I’m sorry to hear about the negativity. I wish I had your stash to pick from. I always enjoy seeing your fabric hauls and can appreciate the beauty of all the fabrics even if not to my taste or would not suit me. I certainly would not give my opinion unless it was a positive one. Please keep up the great work as the vast majority of your viewers really appreciate the work that you put into your vlogs. Hope you didn’t mind the teasing on the Ruan and Sam vlogs, it was done with good natured intention and not intended to be nasty ❤️

They are a business! Don’t feel bad for purchasing the box. Success isn’t a curse. This is awesome Andrea has a fantastic product. Believe me, no one wanting to buy it would be bad, worse.

I really appreciate your vlogs and get inspired to try different patterns. I am sad you have been trolled we.all have different tastes. I love my BTPD fabric too I cannot believe how lucky I was to get a box. I hope they continued to do the boxes even it it is bimonthly or quarterly.

How frustrating for you to have negative vibes. Your recent fabric choices for sewfrugal were not my cup of tea but I am very excited to see the final result as I know you will make it look brilliant. And that in turn might introduce me to something I haven’t been brave enough to consider or try myself. I love your videos and between you and a myriad of other sewing bloggers it has reawakened my love of sewing. Please keep up the excellent work.
