[@nancyrisner1206]

You sound so much like your sister! (Lisa).

[@kindnessmatters4068]

Yes, i think so, too! But she looks more like Laura.😊

[@nancyrisner1206]

And she looks alot like Laura, and these sisters are beautiful! I am so fortunate to have found them on you tube!

[@chrissynes3553]

Yes, she does. And she looks so much from Laura. I started watching since their latest Podcast.

[@Oursweetsunnydays]

Haha we get that a lot here! :)

[@missmarissaaa]

it's so crazy how she's such a mix of both of them w her own flair in voice, way of speaking, looks and housekeeping ! i wish i had a sister !

[@MaeOliver005]

I really love that you didn't count the dress as a loss, you counted it as a learning experience. In my nearly 15 years of homemaking, I've learned that THAT mindset is the way to go with nearly everything. ❤

[@Oursweetsunnydays]

ahh well thank you! i will remember to carry it over to other homemaking lessons.

[@miss_mish]

Congratulations. Great job and always wonderful to learn new things or learn not to do/use something.

[@donnacampbell1641]

Hi Andrea, I just ran across a video where you were with your other two sisters. I know about Lisa and Laura but I did not know about you. I am a 76-year-old grandmother and believe it or not I really enjoy your videos and can more identify with your videos then I can with your sisters and their large families. Although I do enjoy watching them too. Also you’re kind of inspiring me to start sewing again. When my two girls were young I made all their clothes and all their dancing recital costumes. I just kind of taught myself to sew with the help of a friend who is very good at sewiing when I had questions. When I retired a friend and I started going to quilting classes but I noticed I did not enjoy that as much as sewing garments. At that time my only grandchild was about 15 or 16 so I would let her pick out patterns and fabric and I would make things for her. The first pattern she picked out was so hard because it had fringe that you had to make yourself by picking through the fabric with a pin it also had a lined bodice and an invisible zipper and button holes. I had not done any of these before but it turned out so cute. Anyway just wanted to tell you that I have subscribed and I enjoy your channel. Love in Christ

[@eileenalholinna5310]

I am a 78 year old grandmother!! ❤ hugs from Michigan!

[@Oursweetsunnydays]

Wow! I'm impressed! Thanks for following along! :)

[@barbaraslayden2277]

Sometimes it helps if you wash the fabric before you sew with it 👌

[@susannahjoy4220]

ok... Can some answer a question for me? Is this Lady related to the Farmhouse On Boone and Our Oily House ladies? She looks and sounds just like them LOL

[@Oursweetsunnydays]

We're sisters!

[@kathleencasella4703]

I’m new to your channel and really enjoyed it. I watch your sisters’ channels. I can’t believe how much you guys look and sound alike. ❤

[@Oursweetsunnydays]

Haha yes we get that a lot!

[@tammyleviner3070]

The dress really came out super cute! At least you found A good pattern you like and learned what material not to use. Like you said,not a complete loss but good learning experience. And the bread looked so yummy! Thanks for sharing😊

[@Oursweetsunnydays]

yes, exactly! we will just call this my muslin haha! ;)

[@heatherinparis]

Morning Andrea....I've been a home maker for a long time and in that process I have discovered by trial-and-error mostly that in baking any milk will interchange successfully with cow's milk. Most folks don't notice a change in flavour or texture, especially in things like banana bread, corn bread or biscuits. (Coconut milk is super in pancakes instead of cow's milk). As far as sugar I've been able to cut sugar by 50% in most baking. Any more than 50% reduction can cause setting issues in some things like pies. It is not safe to mess with sugar ratios in things like pickles/relishes though. Hope this comment is helpful. I enjoy your channel and am subscribed to all three sisters.

[@Oursweetsunnydays]

Ooo thank you!

[@samanthahoos9827]

I loved sowing in my younger years, but when my oldest daughter started sowing I stopped. I’m redecorating this winter and want to put a sowing station in the room with a dining room table so we can spread out making more clothes. She loves making her own clothes and costumes. 😊

[@valeriegallegos8607]

I think you mean sewing🙂

[@Oursweetsunnydays]

How cool! You won't regret a sewing station :)

[@paulawilliams7030]

You outfit turned out cute!

[@kayhaveman2325]

I love your sisters channel Farmhouse on Boone and was excited when I learned y’all are sisters. I have super enjoyed finding your channel and have been binge watching. I have been wanting to sew more and your videos help. How do you print out those patterns on big paper like that? I guess they are from the sewing community you mentioned. Seamwork. Thank you

[@cherieannese1132]

Oh i loved your dress! I loved all the lessons you learned along the way and your attitude of going slow and your new awareness of just how much effort, energy and fabric does go in to clothes, and like you said "even if its not your own energy". Light bulb moments captured. Thanks for sharing your growth with us.

[@Oursweetsunnydays]

Thanks so much for watching! 🫶

[@debrademedici864]

I found you from watching your video with your sisters, which I so enjoyed!!! So I came right over to subscribe to you and enjoyed you sewing your adorable dress !!!!

[@Oursweetsunnydays]

Yay! Thank you!

[@ginacota9724]

Same here! Love Farmhouse on Boone!

[@carolvalentine2407]

Learned to sew when I was 12 and it has been a lifelong valuable skill. Glad you are learning. Love your table. How handy for cutting out patterns. Also watched you and your sisters’ podcast. All of you are remarkable young women. 💜

[@Oursweetsunnydays]

well thank you so much! i'm having fun learning to sew! :)

[@MonieMuse]

I’m a long time fan of your sis, saw your sister talk episode, so fun to see your channel! Love the creativity and color. I’ve been frustrated with today’s fashion and making my own clothes sounds amazing! Maybe next bday I’ll get a sewing machine ❤

[@Oursweetsunnydays]

thank you so much! sewing really is so fun!

[@celticlassie]

The dress turned out really cute. I also loved that peach skirt you wore in the beginning.

[@Oursweetsunnydays]

thank you so much! :)

[@lonnagraves7937]

New subscriber here. Oh my what memories this brought back for me. I am 54 and my mom sewed almost all of my clothes growing up and we had a fridge like that except it was turquoise blue. I miss the glass and metal shelves...lasted forever. You are so dear and calming. Love all the color too. Blessings

[@Oursweetsunnydays]

Aww what special memories! Thank you so much!!

[@a.hakvoort8098]

You have the same way of talking as your sisters😊

[@Oursweetsunnydays]

Thank you so much!

I love colour as well. I found thrifted bed sheet and will be making a home dress out of it. Its a vintage pattern and very soft.

[@Oursweetsunnydays]

Ooo fun!

[@potato6658]

It makes you think, how much longer it took when people sewed things by hand, especially lace.

[@crownandcountryside]

I have followed Lisa for years and Laura for a short time. I just subscribed to you and plan on ordering meat from Ashley. Count me in as a fan of your whole family 😂

Thanks for subbing! :)

[@snowcm135]

Excellent! It's nice to see young people sewing.

[@earlenewagner2087]

I am a self taught sewist and have gone from clothes to quilts. I have made over 25 quilts since 2006. Most are lap/twin size, but I have made 7 queen size. I noticed you used a serger and it seemed to save a lot of time with facings, what is the brand & model of your serger? Love your cooking too! Keep up the good work.

[@Oursweetsunnydays]

Wow that's a lot of quilts! It's a brother serger from Walmart - inexpensive, but works great for me!

[@themoderndaycottage]

I love the dress!!! I love your sewing room. I can't wait to dust off my sewing machine. This gives me the sewing bug big time!!!

[@Oursweetsunnydays]

Yay! Love to hear that!!

[@themoderndaycottage]

I managed to get my sewing machine and serger cleaned up! Your inspirational videos motivated me to do it. I even shared your KZbin channel on our latest vlog. I hope that's okay. If not, please let me know, and I'll remove it from the description. We just like to share channels that bring us joy.❤😊

[@nelliedoughty5614]

Great Job with your Vlogging I will add to the peanut gallery, your voice is so familiar, the tone and cadence of speech. About that, I ran into some old farmers in my Mothers home town in Chadbourn, NC. This was 2021. These men were young boys when they knew my Mom and my Grandmother! They told me all I had to do was talk and they would know I was my Grandmothers, granddaughter! Both Mom and my Grandmother have passed away, Mom in 2017 and Grandmother in 1990 ish. I have lived in New Hampshire since 1983, and to hear that I speak like them both touched my heart. These old men were in their 90’s and still recognized a “voice, cadence of speech” from their young childhood. Add that grandma, mom and myself all share the same name of Nellie Jean, and I have inherited a small parcel of the Dairy Farm of my grandmothers on Nellie Miller Rd.

[@Oursweetsunnydays]

Aww that's a sweet story.

[@ellef4812]

At the end of the video when you placed the batter on the parchment paper and then placed it in the loaf pan I had an ‘aha’ moment. I have always tried lining my loaf pan first with the parchment paper, your method looks like a much better alternative. 🙂

Andrea, couple of questions if you don't mind. 1 Did your pattern come in the mail that large, it looks different from ones that I have used??? 2 Did you use the paper while baking instead of spraying or greasing ? Also, your dress came out adorable. I love it. Thanks so much. Going to start from the beginning and binge. Kathleen.

I don't understand hot lunches. Why not just a simple sandwich? I only eat 1 meal plus two snacks per day, don't understand needing such a big lunch.

[@kindnessmatters4068]

My doctor told me that an adult should have three (appropriate sized portions), meals, and three healthy small snacks per day... when you only eat one meal per day, your body doesn't have enough proper fuel to function in all the ways it needs to through a full 24 hours. So he said if the meals are spread out and proper portions, then you're getting fuel all day, and your body is regulating much better! 😊
