I have that same pattern as your top. Now I need to find your other video to see the other version too. Looks fab! I like not having the music - easier to hear you.

[@sewlovelywithgrace]

Hi Tina, I'm new to this youtube thing and my focus is on having a chat with you about sewing and showing you my ups and downs and most importantly, keeping it fun!

[@drejoicepr]

I just found your channel and I love it! Thank you for sharing your sewing experiences and for letting us know about that fabulous Vogue magazine. and I have it on my list to order it. Another thing that I like about your channel is that it is straight to the point 😀. God bless you!

[@sewlovelywithgrace]

Deanna, Thanks for the feedback! I'm so thrilled to have a sewing channel to share with you my ups and downs and excitement in sewing. I'm really excited about this hidden gem of a swatch catalog. How did I get along in the world of sewing without it?? I'm looking forward to 2023 to bring you all my new creations. Have a great week and thanks for watching. God bless you too!!!!!!

@@sewlovelywithgrace Hello Grace! Remain natural when presenting your videos. I like to see when people make mistakes because they make us feel like we're not the only ones and we can't forget that we learn from mistakes. Go ahead and thank you very much for what you do, it really is a great blessing for those of us who like to sew!!!! Merry Christmas!!!!!! and waiting for what you have for us your followers in this coming new year!!!!! God keep blessing you and your family!!!

[@sewlovelywithgrace]

@@drejoicepr Hi Deanna, I will always remain natural, never a script! What you see is what you get. You will see my successes as well as my flops! I'm doing this purely for fun and to show my passion for all things sewing. If it gets to be work and no fun, I will quit. But stay tuned. I will be putting out more in the new year. Too busy right now sewing gifts. Merry Christmas and God bless you and yours also!!

[@bakerwannabe4435]

I like the blouse that you shared. Nice to see that you have this new channel. Good luck to you!

[@sewlovelywithgrace]

Thank you! More videos to come and I hope you enjoy them.

[@Laydera]

OMG THAT is your first quilt?? WOW! I had to go back and make sure it really was your first. I am SO impressed. I very much look forward to your videos and learning from you.

[@sewlovelywithgrace]

Yes Laydera, It's my first quilt I did all on my own. I took a few classes on quilting and the blocks I made were done on my embroidery machine. I'm going to do the same on my next quilt. The techniques in the DIME patterns are straightforward and I think I can do another quilt pattern. I hope I can demonstrate a block on a future video. Thanks for watching.

[@annamarieh333]

I forgot to mention your first quilt… I’m blown away with your talent!

[@sewlovelywithgrace]

Thank you. It was done on the embroidery machine so it was easier than making a regular quilt.

[@clappjl]

Hi Grace! Carole mentioned that you were in the fashion show at Lakeland, wish I had been there. Love your blouse, I need to get caught up watching your channel. Congrats!!!!

[@sewlovelywithgrace]

Awww Wow! Julia. Thank you! I hope you enjoy the channel. See you Wednesday!

[@bridgetjones8339]

Thx to you I discovered vogue fabrics! I found some great buys and I can’t wait to get them. Thank you

[@sewlovelywithgrace]

Awesome! I will be uploading a new video today and I will also show the new Spring 2023 Vogue Fabrics catalog. Hope you enjoy it!

[@marianna4322]

Dall'Italia, benvenuta, guarderò i video, grazie. sono una principiante con tanto entusiasmo, buone feste.

[@sewlovelywithgrace]

Molto piacere di conoscerti. Sono italiano con famiglia in Sicilia. Non so scrivere in italiano ma so leggerlo. Uso l'app Google Traduttore. Grazie per aver guardato il mio video.

[@corinaromero6949]

Hi Grace, I am trying to get back into sewing garments. But at 75 boy has my figure changed!!! We'll see hoe we do.

[@sewlovelywithgrace]

Hi Corina, Just have fun. Sewing is fun. More to come in 2023. Enjoy. Thanks for watching!

[@suek7086]

I was in the same place. I’m 72 and I started by using regular patterns like I always did. Big fails. I discovered Indy patterns and especially Love Notions. They are much easier to fit to my funky body. The full bust adjustment has already been done for most. There is a Facebook group is a huge help. They are very helpful when there are problems.

[@sewlovelywithgrace]

@@suek7086 I've never tried Indy patterns. I think I will in 2023. Thanks for the tip. I hope you enjoy the channel.

[@stacibstudio]

My friend has been trying to get me to join #FridaySews and I’ve been putting it off for weeks because I have no idea how to add the effects and sounds like everyone else. 😂 I need to just start like you have because it didn’t take away from the video at all not having music 😊 The Vogue swatch book looks like so much fun!

[@sewlovelywithgrace]

Yes JOIN #fridaysews! You gotta do it. I still have no idea how to add music or effects. But it will take time and I wanted to create this channel in 2023. If I wait till I learn, it could be months! Thanks for watching!

[@annamarieh333]

I have that blouse pattern! I just went through my closet to look for it in my bag of patterns and found it. I am just scared to cut into material but what the heck, I’m wasting time and you inspire me!

[@sewlovelywithgrace]

I know the feeling! You are going to love it though! 💕💕Cut the fabric and sew it up!

[@taylorjk591]

Nice to meet you. You’re doing a great job

Welcome! New sub here. I love your blouses.

[@sewlovelywithgrace]

Thanks for subbing! I hope you enjoy the content.

[@yvonnejoy7962]

Hi Grace, never mind the sound etc. I myself sometimes find the music distracting in some of the videos. I have never heard music in a classroom or lecture hall. We are here to learn, to focus on your tutorials or sewing not to be entertained. For entertainment we watch comedy. Keep up the great job 👍🏾

[@sewlovelywithgrace]

I just want to have fun and engage my audience. I hope I do. Thanks for watching.

[@stillstitchin]

Nice to meet you! Enjoyed! 😊

[@sewlovelywithgrace]

Nice to meet you too! Thanks for coming!

[@lynetterene]

Nice length for a Friday sews video! I love both versions of that blouse you sewed!

[@sewlovelywithgrace]

Thanks Tammy. I'm glad you like them. I'm happy to hear from you.

[@socarole66]

Great first Friday Sews! So glad you've just the FS community 👏🏼. That quilt is stunning, I've only ever done one and that was enough for me. I like making things I can wear or use. Looking forward to getting to know you better. What part of the States are you from? I'm always keen to find out as I'm from the UK and have a fascination with your country and have been to quite a few states ❤

[@sewlovelywithgrace]

Thanks so much! I'm from the Great State of Florida as is Jen is from Today in Jen's Sewing Room. I'm glad you found me and I'm thrilled to communicate with another sewer from the UK!! That's wonderful. I'm also fascinated with the UK and am still feeling the loss of the Queen. Stay tuned for more videos.

[@socarole66]

@@sewlovelywithgrace oh you lucky lady! Another sewist from my favourite state. I am so lucky to call Jen a friend as well as Trish, Deb and Michelle. I need to move to Florida to be with my sewing sisters! Trish, Jen and I had a great weekend together back in September, they are just the loveliest ladies. 🥰
