I’m at work rn sewing tents. I’ve been on a journey with God this past year after giving my life to Christ in September 2023. I love sewing so much and He put me here. The Holy Spirit lead me to Jesus, and it’s been an amazing journey so far. I’m slowing working on being able to sew at home, too. God is such a loving Father. I’m happy to have found your channel! Praise the Lord. God bless you.

[@halleymastrolonardo]

That is amazing! How good and faithful He is to pursue us and then to give you a job you absolutely love. So so cool. I’m curious how hard it is to sew tents lol. Thank you for watching and for the encouragement! I love meeting people here :)

[@Mr.CharlieBoy]

@@halleymastrolonardo Sewing tents are fairly easily. The material is simple to work, it just a lot of it! I work with screen, zippers, Dyneema, and binding tape. I sew all the screens to the floor. It’s basically straight running stitches, which can be fun to “floor it”, and run the material through!

[@halleymastrolonardo]

@@Mr.CharlieBoy that’s awesome! sounds fun!

[@halleymastrolonardo]

@@shirley1413 oh thank you so much! So grateful to have you here. God bless you and happy creating :)

Thank you for this. Keeping busy with work and my passions helps me with grief- when I'm on vacation from work, it's harder to deal with the feelings of grief I notice. Creativity definitely helps!

[@halleymastrolonardo]

This is wonderful! I’m glad to hear it’s been positive in your life as well. Grief is so hard to walk through

You have a beautiful heart. Thank you so much for sharing. I have finally gotten out of a rut by reading Scripture, praying, sewing, and finally getting some good exercise. Found myself glassy-eyed at the end of your video and am so grateful for your Christian perspective around creativity and the beauty that comes from slowing down and quieting our minds. Bless you, my friend 🤍🪡🙏🏼

[@halleymastrolonardo]

Oh that is so sweet! Thank you for your kind comment and for watching. I’m so glad to hear you’ve gotten out of a rut. I’ve been there and totally relate. God bless you!

I loved your content today,😅 it was the one thing I've been trying to figure out how to do using a scrap quilt I have never used a zipper before so it was so wonderful that I got to see your lovely space and learn how to do something I was trying to do on my own unsuccessfully God is so good he puts people together it always amazes me by the way I love your blouse and I was wondering if you made it maybe do a tutorial on that sometime I am so glad that you are healing I am healing from a very bad fall down many stairs face first so traumatic I feel like I have PTSD but I know God will get me through this and am thankful for people like you that love to help each other God bless have a wonderful day❤

[@halleymastrolonardo]

@@karenoshea151 oh thank you for your sweet comment, Karen! Isn’t it so cool how God brings people together and is in all of the details of our life? My blouse used to be a dress I bought online but I reworked it and made it into a top lol. So not handmade by me. I’ve made a couple of others though! I’m sorry you had a bad fall and PTSD from it. May the Lord be with you! Thanks for watching :)

@@vlogbyannielife thanks, Annie!

[@suzens.5024]

What a beautiful video! 💖 I truly believe what you said about healing. I knit, crochet, and cross stitch and when I’m totally immersed in a project my mind can quiet from the stress. I need to sew some more though. I forgot how fun that can be. My last girl at home is 16 now and I’m thankful to have a crafting outlet to fill my soon to be extra time. My homeschooling journey is about to end, and I want to be joy filled about my new life and crafting will definitely help me. 🥰 I’d love to know where you got the bag tutorial. Thank you

[@halleymastrolonardo]

I am so sorry for the delay. I meant to reply days ago but I love this! I am just beginning my homeschool journey so I feel for you. Here’s the link for the bag tutorial, if it doesn’t work look up made everyday and “zipper pouch” kzbin.info/www/bejne/n2KkpJmQh76fiK8si=S87lwAvsksSAkF9q

I love your videos! I also love to sew and started just making little baby pants for my daughter when she was born. Your sewing shed is lovely ♡

[@halleymastrolonardo]

@@rebekahv1898 that is so sweet! Thanks Rebekah! That’s awesome you sew too, it’s been fun to meet so many young women who are learning this skill. My generation has not known these things so I’m encouraged we’re trying! And baby stuff is easy! :) thanks for watching

I love this little makeup bag! Thank you for sharing! It is adorable. What sewing machine do you have? My favorite creative outlet is rubber stamping and making handmade cards.

[@halleymastrolonardo]

@@stacysmith4087 oh thank you! I love that you make cards! I’ve wanted to get into that more. I’ve only made a few but it is such a fun hobby! My machine is a singer M1500
