My 10 Favourite Sewing Books | Vlog 29

[@dkenyon84]

A million thumbs up! That made me smile a tonne! The content was informative, passionate and inspiring and the stop motion was magical! Thanks so much for doing that for us!!

[@GS-cw1lf]

Gabby so fun! Stop motion makes me happy and then you threw in sewing books. I enjoyed this so much.

[@jettahodge1927]

Fab video Gabby...love the animation! but obviously the best bit is seeing you and Hobbs on screen!! Love at first stitch was my first venture into sewing clothes and I now just adore Tilly - she has made the world of dressmaking accessible to everyone! xx

[@lolalea100]

Gabby...thank you for all of the inspiring book recommendations...I agree, Tilly's book, as well as the Gertie books are fantastic! But naughty you have tempted me with some "new-to-me" titles to add to my personal sewing library. I think that this "recommendation" format video was the perfect use of the "stop motion" application and you did it brilliantly! Enjoy your weekend!

[@lindaamerigoconsult]

Love the video, and the quality of your 3D in your room with Hobs is great too.

[@cb5590]

Just bought two of the Japanese sewing books because of your vlog. They look like so much fun. Thanks a bunch! And hugs to Hobbes

[@Mindfulnessification]

I loved this, Gabby!!! Thank you!!! ❤️✌🏼🙏🏼

[@beccaemmax]

Thanks for making Gabby - I've been mulling over buying a Gertie book for ages and now you've given me loads of new book ideas! Also well done on the stop motion, it looks great xx

[@oscartc456]

GREAT JOB !! Loved it all. Hobbs makes me smile

[@abinorman3559]

Blimey Gabby this video is awesome 😍 honestly, the theme was a winner to begin with! But your stop motion is beautiful...works really well with this particular book theme, well done...this certainly "made me smile" 👏🏼

[@1treb3chain]

Loved the stop motion! Great book choices! Have an amazing weekend lady xx

[@kerryclarke6501]

New title, looks great. Loving the roses. Wonderful episode as always.

[@SewOldFashioned]

That stop motion was amazing! I did a teeny tiny bit of stop motion at the start of video aaaages ago and even a few seconds took forever, so I can only imagine how much time you put into this. It was a fun video and I enjoyed having a flip through your favourite sewing books.

[@junegarford5144]

Loved this. Ordered the Tilly book earlier this week after watching one of your other vlogs and have the two Sewing Bee books too. I am really impressed with the Sewtionary book...what a find! will be getting one of those for sure! Great vlog again Gabby especially with the stop motion!

[@blueminnie13]

Wonderful presentation! Thank you so much. I ordered the Sewtionary book to learn more about techniques.

[@chantel2311]

another wonderful vlog Gabby. The stop motion element is perfect in my eyes 👌 Give Hobbles an ear rub from me 😊

[@annhamilton2060]

That was so creative Gabby! You are clever! Love your teal top too xx

[@AdirondackRuby]

Such a great & helpful video. I recently bought Love at First Stitch (and The Colette Sewing Guide by Sarai Mitnick) and today picked up Gertie's first book from the library, as well as a book all about handsewing. Excited to seek out these others.

[@mooseballet]

Awesome job with the stop motion Gabby! Really enjoyed it!

[@ukulow]

Thanks for this video I love it, and great recommendations! To keep me entertained during this lockdown I have just ordered several sewing books including a Gertie and a couple Japanese ones. Eagerly awaiting their arrival!

[@megan2176]

Love the stop motion! Excellent job! And yes to Lala Land! I haven't seen it, but am really looking forward to seeing it someday, probably once it comes out on DVD. :)

[@arrowlili2942]

A great job Gabby, that was really fun to watch 😊

[@nix202]

Brilliant Gabbles, great stop motion xxxx

[@AkramTaghaviBurris]

love your collect, I have several of the same book. I do need fabric swatch book, seams like it would be so useful. BTW I love your stop motion you did a good job 😉

[@yanhongli2117]

Yay! New video from Gabby! I will stay up for another 10 minutes! The Great British Sewing bee book is $100 on amazon Canada. So so sad. 😂 Love from Canada!

[@ladyhamilton5179]

love the video. You have a nice collection of sewing books. There are a few I will be getting this year. I know you must enjoy reading them. Well thanks for sharing. See you soon.

[@brendadouglas9833]

Great video. I have never seen books like this in Canada or U.S. I will really have to search, now I know what I am searching for. Thanks lots.

[@Culverchops]

Amazing animation! Love it, and the recommendations - thanks for the time, effort and creativity you pour into your vlogs. X

[@RenataMarie]

Thanks so much for sharing :) I have a few of those but will definitely add that swatch book and Freehand Fashion :) 😘

[@OhLiverpoolLou]

Could you be any more endearing?! You absolutely did make me smile 😄❤️ Great video, fab animation. Have been umming and ahhing over Boundless Style for ages and now I know I just need to buy it. Well done and thank you! X

[@SEWDOITEMMA]

great video! love the stopped motion and all your sewing books. I'm just as bad as have a massive collection!

[@mairead5891]

Love love loved the stop frame animation! Well done you :-)

[@gingerellaj]

Great video Gabby! I have a few of these and love the look of them, although I've not actually used many of them. Must rectify this year! Oh and the stop motion is awesome! :D x

[@irenebrady8557]

Hi, love those books do you have Famous Frocks the little black dress and The Vintage Patterns Selector, and Burdastyle modern sewing books too.Love your music.

[@LisaJF]

What a sweet dog! I would love to hear a quick mention of what pattern size those books come in. Do any of them include plus sizes?

[@KittenishBehaviourSian]

That was so(sew) much fun!!

[@quiltygal6981]

Loved the stop motion it all looked pretty good to me. I have a couple of the Japanese books also Chinellos and Tillys books lol in fact I just need to get the Sewtionary and Swatch book and I'm set :) mind you I really should actually read the ones I have ! I might learn something.

[@vvarble]

I have to ask what you're wearing? I need to pick up the first book, seems very handy. Thanks for sharing!

[@CocoWawaCrafts]

Loved it Gabby!!!!

[@lindabrown7374]

I love sewing books. I have Tilly's. I also have some from the 1940's on up. They're so much fun to look at.

[@kateb7011]

Hi Gabby. I bought a copy of Tilly's book after you mentioned it was one of your favourites in an earlier Q&A video. Really enjoying working my way through the book so thank you for that recommendation. also, love your hair at the moment. Very Sia-esque but in a more practical and chic kind of way (I promise I mean that as a compliment! You look gorgeous). I am going to have a search and see if I can get my hands on a copy of that swatch book. it looks so helpful! Lovely video. The stop motion is very cute but it would have been just as good if it was only for a minute introducing the books rather than the entire video. Hope you have a great weekend :-)

[@sandhyavempati1858]

Just lovely!

[@dianeposselius]

A very witty and vibrant presentation, immensely attractive.

[@juliesew_me_something699]

Hi Gabby you are very clever and creative . Loved the content but the stop motion thing doesn't work for me I get sea sick !! ps I am so enjoying your DVD s I recently purchased sewing along to your singing what could be better :) I think the art work alone is amazing you rock x

[@celinafox8396]

Made me feel sick too :(

[@StampinDivaUK]

Oh thanks Gabby! I've been sewing for 20-odd years and never really gotten to grips with the different fabrics. I'm terrible at either sticking with what I know, OR going 'that looks pretty' and then regretting my fabric choice down the line. I've been toying with making my own file of fabric samples and information for years, but it's always one of those projects that constantly gets pushed to the bottom of the list. I'm going to invest in the Fabrics for Fashion book now and save myself a lot of trouble. Why did it not occur to me that someone else might have already done all the hard work? Also, the Japanese books look very interesting!

[@loveistheanswer2380]

Lovely stop animation! You're such a cutie.

[@CulinaryGuide]

Loved it!

[@ChicCuteCreations]

Except 'Sweet Dress book', I also collected all the other 5 Japanese sewing books you have:)

[@heatherr9201]

Love it!

[@HighballEmy]

I love the stop motion, so so cute - did it take ages??

[@kerryclarke6501]

Oops forgot to also add I love the stop image. You have gone to a lot of effort and it is appreciated.

[@clairefrost3149]

Hi Gabby. Only discovered you yesterday and am completely hooked (excuse the pun).... I have owned a sewing machine for 2 years and have never taken it out of the box..... your video has inspired me to start sewing but I don't know how! Can you recommend a book for a COMPLETE novice with absolutely no idea how to even put thread on a machine. Do you do any online courses??? Please help me - I think your channel is the best - Claire and Noodles (my rather old and grumpy cat) x x x

[@sewloulouloop5041]

The Love at First Stitch book by Tilly - shows you everything from how to thread the machine etc.

[@christineclarke1653]

I've just enrolled on a Learn Dressmaking in a Day, inspired by you and the Fashion on a Ration exhibition at the Imperial War Museum North. One teeny tiny hiccup, from this vlog onwards, I can't Chrome cast your vlog without it "stuttering". I'm not techy, so I don't know how to resolve it. But thank you so much 😊

[@mariamaj3274]

This was literal sewing book porn! Made me want to buy all of them ❤

[@sineadmariturnham6766]

Hi darling, you know I LOVE your Vlog!! ummm...can I say that the buttons and things going around the books made it hard to focus on the books themselves and I had to look away and listen sometimes as it was too much for me to look at, kind of a bit motion sick (sorry)...maby less is more with the stop motion videos as without the extra distractions of the buttons it's great....just my two cents worth... much love as always :)

[@StayStitching]

I really liked the stop motion intro, but to watch the whole video, I got a little motion sick. I had to close my eyes and just listen.:( Sorry!
