ABOUT:
Hi, I'm Wendy, and I have been on a sewing journey ever since my mom taught me how to make little outfits for my dolls. I studied engineering and business, had an office job for two years, and then quit to embark on a lifelong sewing adventure on KZbin. Subscribe to join me on the adventure, and maybe make your own clothing too! Thanks for watching ❤️

[@chewbekah]

"mattress safe for children and the elderly" SO glad you guys have finally decided to become elderly

[@marionhoogstoel]

1 month later : WELL :D

[@MadebyNoa]

Can we take a second to talk about how amazing Wendy looks in a turtleneck!?

[@paigeofthebook]

she's wearing the same outfit and earrings in her apartment tour LOL

[@TheSharandJoeShow]

She looks awesome!

[@BMoll87]

I have ADHD, so underestimating the time it takes for things is my daily life. Seeing that you took several days to do this is actually helpful for me personally. It doesn’t give of the impression that you can race through a thing like this in less than 24 h. So kudos for being transparent!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@lettherebelightpink]

How funny, I was about to comment the same thing, about how important it is to show real life on KZbin, and also to take your time with things if they end up taking longer than expected... and how I also have ADHD, so it feels extra meaningful to see that kind of honesty. You beat me to the punch! x

[@retzza]

I love how Wendy is so humble and "normal" despite the fact that she has over 1M subscribers. That's the kind of spirit that I want to subscribe to.

[@TheSharandJoeShow]

Love her vibe!

[@gothempress]

Did you motivate me? Absolutely! Did I get up and do anything? Not a chance! But! Do I _feel better_ ? *YES, QUEEN!*

[@sofiakohleisen3515]

Oh god that face when Dan started whistling, I can’t

[@zami2525]

She was a about to commit murder 😂😂😂😂

[@zami2525]

Also at @14:59 she was like "are you done b*tch?"

[@TheSharandJoeShow]

That was hilarious!

[@patriciaponce3398]

When you talked about a new change in yours and dan’s life, i thought you meant you’re getting a dog or having a kid 😂 but a new mattress is still great!!

[@withwendy]

Looool the mattress is ALSO part of the preparation for changes! 😄

I’m an Aussie and have always grown up with the flat sheet. Because there is a sheet between me and the quilt/duvet cover I don’t need to wash the cover as often. It is also very useful to have the flat sheet in the summer when it is too hot to sleep under a quilt/duvet.

[@zapdara]

Rachel Maksy showed in a video that she has an "on air" light she uses to show her husband when she's filming. Maybe you could set up something like that? Love the rolled fabric organization and congrats on the new mattress!

[@beaveloso3682]

It was so satisfying seeing all those fabrics in little rolls Ps: As far as I'm aware french seams are really called... french seams

[@galli0]

I think it was the flat seam, like the seam on jeans down the outside of the leg, i believe its a flat felled seam or just flat seam

[@diytailoringandrecycling7134]

Was für eine Ordnung

[@romy7865]

It find it funny because in french we call it an english seam haha

[@grundfunkel]

@@galli0 the seam used for jeans is made differently than a french seam :) unfortunately I don‘t know the english name for the jeans one (german : kapp - naht), but the french seam is called the same in germany where I’ve been trained as a dressmaker or ladies taylor whatever that might be called ;)

[@grainedeau787]

What’s funny is that in France, we call it the English seams 🙃

[@helloemilymills]

Love the "high-tide/low-tide" explanation of the mess 😂

[@malikah_zarah]

A video hinting to us that we should do the same 😬

[@withwendy]

truly worth it though, it's been so easy all week to check my cabinets, take out fabric and put it back, I feel so much more ready for new projects!

[@lestranged]

I have been organizing and purging my fabric stash this past couple of weeks so this video is telling me i need to finish that!

[@malikah_zarah]

I literally only have a box of fabric that's struggling to close 🙃 before that you couldddd say i was under the same state as wendy

[@withwendy]

If you follow on IG you might know about the enlightening discussion we had this week on the varying attitudes towards flat sheets 😂do you use your flat sheets or no? discuss!

[@MeabhR]

I have never in my life used a flat sheet - in my country we use duvet covers on top and fitted sheets (with elasticated corners) on the mattress, all the way.

[@ChrisanneDaniel]

I use my flat sheet in the summer instead of the duvet because it gets hot in here!

[@umami6462]

where i'm from we use them all around the year 😅 in the summer it keeps us from feeling a little cold at night and also protect us from mosquitoes

[@mnels5214]

I use them to prolong the life of the duvet cover

[@wisecanadianwoman]

I sew my flat sheets together to make new duvet covers.

[@blondietehdino]

I recently organized my fabric in a cheap up-cycled that’s pretty efficient. I cut old cardboard boxes into rectangles and wrapped my fabric around that, wrote out labels with care instructions and wrapped that around the mini bolt of fabric, finally I set them all up on my bookshelf using bookends to hold them up. It’s made it really easy to see what fabric I have and how much of each. I used to just fold it but it got messy quickly and was hard to to put back fabric I took out but didn’t like. The same amount of fabric that was spilling off of my shelf is now taking up less than half of the space. (edit) 5:45 OH! Also for notions! I’ve been washing out empty soda cans, using a can opener to make a larger opening (using a flat metal tool after to push down any sharp stragglers sticking up), then I fill them with separate notions. If you keep them in a tall basket you can even stack the cans on top of one another to save space. It sounds ugly but you can even use seltzer cans like san pellegrino to make it cuter

[@junkabella6324]

Thanks for the tips! :)

[@cathleenmckay389]

I LOVE your space!!! I'm still a month or two away from being able to redefine my crafting/crochet/sewing space🥺 With Covid came the need to ask our dearest friend to live with us so we'd always have someone here for our kiddos. Husband runs a business, I was working full-time and suddenly we had kids home 24/7. I sacrificed my office space to accommodate family needs and even my temporary setup had to go to accommodate Christmas. I am definitely inspired to do things completely different than before and I can't wait to see it come together ☺️ Great video. Thank you, Wendy!

[@mojoholo9529]

It was good to see some of the reality of your and Dan's work situation. There is a comfort to be had from knowing others are having to compromise and adapt to this weird life xxx

[@sewtania4074]

I rolled my fabrics last summer and purchased clear plastic stackable containers to store them inside cupboards or under the bed. Rolling is game changing! I also bought a new spring mattress that doesn't need a box spring so changed my bedframe to one that has 10" of clearance. Lots more storage! I feel far more organized and am able to find things or shop my stash. It is terrific isn't it!

[@BrambleReid]

i cut swatches and used a binder to organize my fabric's, i did also fold my fabric's, however, I think i like the way you rolled yours. A french seam also has a top stitch to it. I like the box corner on your sheets. like the new equipment...

[@MadebyMeredith]

Uuuuugh I need to organize my fabric too... it’s such a daunting task!

[@withwendy]

I put some of my podcast recommendations in the description in case they come to your aid, they made it much easier for me!

[@suspicioususpectlisa]

Ah cleaning. Something I've been planning to do for a long time. Living in a small student room for multiple years makes that I got a lot of stuff but almost no space to put it. The put it behind the doors and then close doors is definitely my strength haha. I have been waiting for some shelving unit but pandemic logistics gives it a hard time, hopefully next week I'll finally be able to clean out part of my room and be able to use my couch again (now place for appliances and stuff). The rolled up fabric together is very satisfying to look at.

[@pandamainiak2895]

I use to sew but not as much anymore due to work and motivation on other craft/fabric arts I've been enjoying more than sewing. I use alot of my scrap fabric as base fabric for embroidery patches I make as well as stripping it into tshirt like yarn. I love it and the left over tiny scrap pieces I dont use I use to make stuffing toys for my puppers

[@naomi.m9598]

Each time I hear your voice, it relaxes me. Like if I'm stressed or something like that I just watch your videos and I end up so relaxed 😌😌, it's crazy 😂

[@thatsockwrd8285]

That light scene was 😘🤌 *chefs kiss*

[@roset7287]

I was literally just organizing all my sewing supplies and not accomplishing anything because I don’t have enough room for it and was getting really annoyed :( Thanks for sharing some nice and calm organisation!

[@SimplyDelilah]

When I start organizing I just end up sewing!

[@lelaniadam]

The mattress features sound amazing! I hope you invest in a good mattress protector, it really helps with longevity & stain prevention. I guess you could make one too...it would be the same process as a fitted-sheet, you just need special fabric for the top of the mattress.

[@kylierigby1953]

I seem to be in "high tide" all the time 🤣🤣

[@ellem8997]

There are so many great Canadian companies that make organic, non-toxic mattresses that are delivered rolled up. Casper, Endy, Polysleep, Douglas, Silk & Snow. I wish my favourite 🇨🇦 Canadian KZbinrs would support 🇨🇦Canadian businesses. ❤️❤️❤️

[@hafusan]

okay. Had to stop watching and comment how I love the "some podcasts I've been enjoying" portion SO MUCH. It's just the time where you can't have enough of those.

[@wikka322]

Your energy, voice and aesthetic are taking me to another world, and I am not even kidding or anything. You're so gourgeous and lovely, I love watching your videos, they are a pleasure to watch them after a long day even if I don't sew at all XD love u and keep going! (sorry for my english, I'm not very diligent student XD)

As a fellow crafter/hobby person, I really appreciate these videos where you show me how to organize this stuff! Very inspiring!

[@latoyabrown9107]

1. I’ve always been impressed with the audio in you videos. Can you do a video on your audio setup? 2. I totally got ready for you to say the major change in your life/space was a new baby. But congrats on the mattress!!

[@suhuitan]

My high tides last so long that after I tidy up I am always hesitant to start new projects. Thanks for this! I'm going to try your rolling method but I think it may not be powerful enough to overcome my fabric hoarding habit.

[@candicebuerer867]

Love the rolling the fabric trick! I roll my t-shirts in my drawers, but didn't think to use it in the sewing room! Folding the fabric, or putting it boxes by color, was not working. Can't wait to roll my quilting fabric, and label it by size. This should save me at least one shelf in the cabinet.

[@kiarakeeper2154]

I use flat sheets, to make wrap pants ✂️✂️

[@willebij]

Hi Wendy, I envied your new wool matress. Something surprised me. There was only your fitted sheet and the mattress. In my environment we use something between the fitted sheet and the mattress. The fabric is a thick flanel called "molton", "calmuc". It is 100% Cotton. The weight can be 180 (too light), 500 , 800 (too heavy, thick) grams per M2 (square meter). Hope this is helpfull.

Started organising my fabric hoard last week and gave up, may this be the push to finish it that I need 🙌🏻

[@withwendy]

You can do it!! To a degree, some of it might come with letting go too. There may be some value in you being real and gentle on yourself on which fabric projects are reasonable to keep! Extra stuff sometimes causes more stress and clutter than opportunity, but I leave that completely up to you!

[@user-hs9il9fq5r]

@@withwendy There is a lot of letting go to do! Hoping to donate a lot to the art/textiles department of my old college as we hardly ever had anything to experiment with when I studied there so I know it will be appreciated!

Feel silly asking this because it’s probably so simple, but could you do a mini tutorial showing how you managed to roll all your fabric so neatly?! Did you find a good method? I just know however hard I’d try they’d end up different lengths!!

Wendy. I love your content! I'm an aspiring South African fashion designer and your journey has been very inspiring. I'm currently having trouble with my overlocker. No matter how much I adjust the tention, the thread snaps. It's very discouraging. Can you show us how you thread your overlocker?

[@VelvetHeartbeat]

I used to feel the same about flat sheets but realised they’re great when the weather is starting to get warmer, sometimes you can kick off your duvet and still feel like you’re IN bed because you’re under the sheet, for some reason it feels nicer?
