[@lisaanderson7128]

Alisa... this world has become so different, so rapidly and I believe that the worst part of this is that people have become so detached from manners, due to the perceived anonymity of social media. People are just nasty sometimes. Please know that plenty of people understand that you can always think of the bits of things they're grateful for and focus on those and then, if you don't have the ability to offer a thank you to another human being, kind and hardworking enough to share their knowledge with us... simply mooove along! You're lovely, lively and perfect the way you are! You've outclassed the haters, way before you ever even set foot out of your bed! Swipe left and move on, my dear! Thank you for all you do...

[@amandab9702]

You voice, content and manner are all lovely! Clearly you do all you do thoughtfully and put a lot of work into it all. I'm confident that those who feel the need to find non existent issues are dealing with issues of their own and there is zero about any of it you should take personally, good rule for all insults that are always just unnecessary. I'm a big believer in kindness and know well that I get more from being kind than I ever give, it really is it's own reward to be able to make someone smile or be helpful. Two things you do masterfully. Don't change a thing, you are professional, personable, mindful and perfect.

You do everything you hope. I do feel empowered by watching and I am an experienced sewist. (I don’t like the word sewer). Who also teaches sewing. I learn many things from you. Mainly because you keep things simple and do not use complicated methods or tools. A home sewist can copy you and get great results. I am sorry that you have had negative comments that are irrelevant or discouraging. Let alone rude. No doubt they are feeling fine hiding behind their screens, not making their own content that others could criticise. I don’t know how you sew as many things as you do. While having a young family. In my books you are amazing.
