Yeah. Happy to see you back. I hope you get a good rest on holiday

[@StitchedinSweden]

Hi Isabel! It is so nice to see you again! I’m enjoying a quiet moment now that both my daughters are in bed, on my patio working on a hand stitched baby quilt for my childhood best friend’s first born baby arriving next year 🥰

[@FluffyFibers]

Hello Maria, it is so lovely to read your kind words! I am so happy that you and your family are doing well and so grateful that you watched the podcast. Your quilt sounds wonderful - such a work of love! I wish you all the very best 💕🌸🌼

[@gaylebillat5]

It's is so lovely to see you! I was delighted to find these 2 episodes. ❤

[@juliesew_me_something699]

So lovely to see you back,thankyou for sharing.I totally understand now why you have removed your old podcasts from you tube however,if you can be tempted to replace them it would be delightful and very beneficial to the sewing community.Over the years you have made some beautiful garments and certainly inspired myself to try certain patterns. I think many of us like to revisit old favourites. Stay well ✂️xx

[@mrscraftalot]

I was so excited to see you were back, Isabel! I have missed your podcast and really enjoyed seeing you and all of your makes again. It was lovely to have your daughter on and to hear about her project as well! I would love to be able to watch the older episodes, but only if you are comfortable sharing them again. Take care, Erika

[@FluffyFibers]

Dear Erika, thank you so very much for your kind comment! I am so glad that you enjoyed this episode - and having my daughter on the podcast 😊 I'll definitely be looking into a way to make my older episodes available again. Take care!

So lovely to see you again Isabel 🙏😁. I'm glad to hear it's become a little cooler for you...the same has happened in the UK thankfully...we are definitely not used to this heat here 😤. Your dresses and top are adorable and fit you so perfectly 👌💝. I particularly love the dress you are wearing 😍. How lovely to include your daughter's makes...which were lovely 💞. I'm always impressed with all your yarn makes... I still haven't dabbled into knitting or crochet but maybe one day 👍. I adore the colours you have used for your crochet blanket...such gorgeous colours 💚💙💜. I haven't made too much over the summer, as I'm doing a lot of decorating, but have made the Melilot shirt by Dear and Doe and plan to make another one soon 😁. Enjoy your crafting Isabel and look forward to seeing you again soon 😊💝😘..oh, and I was drinking a typical English breakfast tea while watching today ☕😉

[@FluffyFibers]

Hello Sally and thank you so much for such a lovely, lovely comment 💐 What a relief that the weather has finally broken. I'm not sure if this was obvious from the introductory footage, but the rivers are at a historic low and the flora and fauna has been suffering horribly... Thank you so much for your kind words on my daughter's work and my own! 💞 The Melilot shirt is such a lovely pattern, I bet it must be a staple in your wardrobe. Thank you so much once again for taking the time to post such a wonderful caring comment - it definitely contributes to make me want to come back here soon. Have a wonderful day! (having a cup of English breakfast on my own as I am typing here this early morning ☕) 💜

[@shadowcat1201]

Welcome back Isabelle! I've missed your videos. Before I moved provinces I was very stressed and was looking for familiar calming, reassuring and comforting voices and I thought of your podcasts. I would love if you found a way you were comfortable with sharing old videos because you have wonderful insights into creating and values. I'm so happy you are back! Take care.

[@FluffyFibers]

Thank you so much for your kind comments! As it happens I put my videos back online just a few hours before you sent your comment... That is quite eerie! ✨ I do hope you enjoy them again. Thank you again 🌸

[@littlearrowfibers2615]

Hello Isabelle! I'm so happy you're back to podcasting. I've missed it ! This segment with your daughter was so lovely and I love your last makes. I've actually deleted my IG account a few month ago so this will enable me to keep following your making adventures. Funny thing: I was actually lengthening my daughter's biscuit socks ( the one I tested for you) while watching and finished waving in the last end at the very end of your video ;-) I wish you and your family a lovely day.

[@Tahirra2008]

I am so glad that you returned.

[@FluffyFibers]

Thank you so much 💐

[@foxhillfiber4409]

So glad to see you back!!!! I hope you will consider making your old podcasts available. I love going back and rewatching previous ones. Stay cool and enjoy your making.

[@FluffyFibers]

Thank you so much for your comment, and for letting me know that you would like having the old podcasts back! I will definitely be looking for a way to make them available if there is some interest. Have a lovely day! 🌸

[@emiliarodriguez1364]

Hi Isabel!! So happy to see you again!! You were sorely missed my dear. I kept your channel in the hopes of seeing you again. I'm so glad that I did. If it's possible, can you put your videos back? That would be so lovely. Have a blessed day and stay safe. Many Blessings 🤗🤗

Merci Isabelle ! Quelle bonne soirée j'ai passé en ta compagnie, tout en tricotant le Venezia shawl de Joji Locatelli. Et quel joli segment avec ta fille, bravo à elle pour son beau travail. 😘😘😘😘

[@FluffyFibers]

Un grand merci Geneviève d'avoir regardé et de me laisser ce mot si gentil ! Je passe tes gentilles paroles à ma puce :) Grosses bises et à très bientôt ! ❤

[@christinedempsey93]

Lovely to see your podcast again. I've missed them... It's quite cold here in Australia, a rainy, wintry and windy day. I'm knitting on an Embers cardigan by Libby Jonson, which has to be steered at the end! eek... never done that before. I'm trying to get the motivation to sew again, haven't for a couple of years, have a jacket cut out and everything. Sipping on a T2 chai tea with a little honey. Take care and try not to work too hard.

[@FluffyFibers]

Hello Christine, and thank you for watching the podcast from Australia! I hope the steek goes splendidly, and that you find the motivation to sew your jacket. Getting back to sewing requires quite a bit of energy, but the feeling of satisfaction and accomplishment you get when finally making a few seams again is marvellous 😊 Take care and keep warm! Thank you so much for your comment 💐

[@geraldineroulemawool1171]

C'était un tel plaisir de te retrouver ici Isabelle. Merci beaucoup !!! Tu m'as donné envie de reprendre mon crochet! En te visionnant, j'ai bu un thé tchai épicé de mon magasin en vrac, j'ai terminé de tricoter la baby baclava de Petite Knit pour mon futur neveu en Penelope de De Rerum Natura et je me suis même fait les ongles! Vive les longs podcasts !!! 😉

[@FluffyFibers]

Un grand merci Géraldine, ça m'a fait super plaisir de lire ton commentaire ! Ton neveu aura bien chaud dans la balaclava de sa tata 🥰 et tu me donnes envie de me refaire une jolie manucure ! 😊 Tu as utilisé quelle couleur ? 💅🏻 Merci encore et à très bientôt sur IG ! 😊

[@opheliabells]

so glad to find that you are back, what a lovely podcast per usual so inspiring and graceful. Have to say that @1:09:50 reminded me of Papa Smurf. Whoever wins one of your bags is going to ecstatic, I don't use instagram but have added both patterns to my ravelry and plan on making a few for gifts. Oh and as I've been watching also have been crocheting an amigurumi called Crucifix which will be a gift and drinking black tea with honey and oat creamer.

[@FluffyFibers]

You made me chuckle with the Papa Smurf reference! Thank you for your comment Ophelia. Enjoy your crochet and have a lovely day! 🌸

Bon retour sur KZbin ! C'était un plaisir de pouvoir t'écouter à nouveau !💕

Coucou Isabelle, quel plaisir de te voir de retour ! Merci pour le point de vocabulaire, je me demandais justement ce qu'était le cotton lawn! 😘

Hello Annette, quel plaisir de lire ton commentaire ! Merci beaucoup !! 🌷

So happy to see you again! I've kept you in my subscriptions hoping that you would pop in again and here you are! It is wonderful that you have a completely handmade wardrobe! Take care.

Thank you so much Midge for keeping me in your subscriptions for so long and for watching so soon. I am truly grateful! Have a lovely day 💐

I’m glad your back. I’m a follower from day one and recently I’ve been wondering what happened to you.

[@knittysixx5106]

It’s lovely to see you back. I have finally started back to a bit of sewing after a year’s break.

[@FluffyFibers]

Thank you for leaving a kind note, Nicole! I hope you have been enjoying getting back to sewing 🌹

[@abyl.4676]

It’s so good to see you again! The notification of a new video came up and I am so excited! I’ve missed your content, however I completely understand how busy life can be. I had looked your channel up and was sad to see the videos gone but it’s understandable why you made them private. Can’t wait to finish the video, stay safe.

[@FluffyFibers]

Thank you so very much, Aby, both for sharing your excitement at a new video, and for understanding why I couldn't avoid such a long break. This is so appreciated! Thank you 💐

[@janegibson6678]

It was such a pleasure to find you back on my screen. I enjoyed catching up with all your making while deinking some delicious Ceylon broken orange pekoe tea and working on the bottom band of my Hilary Fluff and the Magic Fungi cardigan by Bunnymuff. Just wondering if you will ever come to the point where you have sufficient dresses for your need? How do we decide what we have is sufficient when we love to sew for its own sake? Just wondering as I too like to make my own clothes. Jx

[@FluffyFibers]

Oooh Ceylon Orange Pekoe is so good - my husband's favourite! That's an amazing cardigan you are knitting. You must be excited to be nearing the end of the body! Your question is one I have often asked myself of late, and one of the reasons why I have been sewing less for myself over the past few years. Currently I sew a new dress when I retire an earlier one that no longer matches my style, or that is irretrievably damaged or worn out (that has happened to a couple of dresses in the past year). I started sewing in my early 20s and as much as I enjoy keeping and wearing my old favourites, a number of my past makes just don't fit into my wardrobe anymore. I am definitely making more of a conscious effort not to sew everything that strikes my fancy; then again, I will occasionally just sew for the joy of it, and I guess it's still much less damaging than RTW retail therapy... I feel that sewing my entire wardrobe still means I consume far less than if I was purchasing RTW; it may not be as sustainable as wearing second-hand, but I also keep in mind that making a garment is both a source of joy (a hobby) *and* a means to clothe myself for years. I guess you werent's expecting such a long answer! 🤭But in truth, you have hit the nail on a concern that is uppermost in my mind. The bottom line is that only you can establish that for yourself... It depends on so many factors (the weather being so hot here also means I do need a daily change of clothes, especially as I have no car and walk everywhere; and having a few more clothes means less washloads...). We all live different lives and have different needs... I do hope you figure out your own happy medium! 💐
