#The100DayProject

[@Kathyjones55]

Oh my goodness, really, someone wants you to edit the sewing out? If they do not like the sewing fast forward or turn your volume down! The people that do these videos are taking their time to do this for US. Rachel, you just keep doing what you’re doing. You could be vacuuming and I would still watch. Love this, I need to find some bags like these. 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

[@dsflc]

You could be vacuuming!!! Love it!!! :)

[@cwsowell]

Me, too! I remember someone commenting once that they would watch her if all she was doing was buttering a piece of bread. I feel the same way, I would still watch if she were just sewing straight lines on something!

[@judithermer7969]

I want to see the whole process if that includes the sewing I don’t mind one bit.

[@roxycreations679]

Too funny! I agree with you people should just turn down the volume or move on! Thank you so much!

[@yolandareeder3473]

@@roxycreations679 I agree Roxy ... I have just learned something by watching all the details... this is a very detailed kind of talent .... watch and LEARN! Keep going ROXY!!!

[@Stargazer..]

I love watching your sewing projects. I wouldn't want you to edit any of it. I would say that the majority of your viewers love watching the step by step process. For those that dont, they can simply fast forward. I really love this journal cover. It is so beautiful.

[@roxycreations679]

Thank you so much!

[@loiswessel5823]

Rachel I have learned so much from you, at no charge. I wonder why those who criticize or ask you to do things differently are thinking when they are getting you expertise at no cost. You are so generous and helpful , you really do not need to apologize. ❤️

[@3rscrafting]

Lois, I didn't even think about that aspect. So many people are switching to patreon, which I understand, but I don't participate and usually quit watching the 'freebies" which built that channel and subbies to begin with --

[@roxycreations679]

I agree I just don't get it when it's free! I feel more pressure to be perfect if someone is paying but i physically could not put up videos everyday if i had to edit them. Thank you so much!

[@marywelton7738]

You keep doing what your doing sweetie. Your a great teacher and everything you do is wonderful . your the first thing I go to when I get my coffee. Wouldn't have it any other way. Don't worried about the sewing ,like you said go somewhere else if you don't like it.

[@roxycreations679]

Thank you so much!

[@rhondacalderone862]

I have only started using my sewing machine, since I started making journals. I really need to see you doing the sewing. It helps to build up the courage to give it a try. Please don't do anything to accommodate those people who don't enjoy the noise. It's ridiculous. They can turn the sound down. I can't turn down not being able to see something because of their complaints. It's selfish. I am annoyed with them! Do your process your way, please, Rachel. The whiners can put a cork in it. I have been watching you for going on 2 years. I don't complain about anything that you do because I admire your process. Your videos are wonderful just the way that they are.

[@andreamorrison6719]

Touche Rhonda 😍😘

[@roxycreations679]

Oh your really made me giggle Rhonda! I won't change although i didn't show all of the sewing in this because of that 'recommendation', lol! I hope you could understand the process all the same. Thank you so much!

[@Muthrtung]

beautiful!! & don't worry about 1 or 2 bored peeps living to be nit-picky about s/machine noise. just enjoy the 15.5k subbies who appreciate your consistently awesome vids, especially at these times! we love your personality as much as your crafting, inCLUDING the machine! :-D x

[@roxycreations679]

Thank you so much!

[@dianacampanelli1264]

You just keep using your sewing machine, does not bother me, it teaches me! Thank you, Rachel!💓

[@roxycreations679]

Thank you so much!

[@dianacampanelli1264]

Your most welcome, stay safe!😌💓

[@marjeanweber4189]

thank you for the lovely sound of machine stitching. As a child, I was lulled to sleep by the sound of my mother's machine. The delight was that by morning I would have a new frock to wear to school. I have fond memories of her dedication and the sound of your machine reminds me of her.

[@roxycreations679]

I like the sound of it too! Thank you so much!

[@3rscrafting]

I'll try to be polite -- if the sound bothers you for any reason, just mute for the 10 seconds it takes to sew. I LOVE the sound of sewing machines, and Rachel has a very nice one and sounds different from mine -- she can't please all of us, as much as she tries. She has anxiety about outside noise, being on screen, volume and it goes on and on -- uploading videos, because of the YT platform, not her personal internet speed -- takes twice as long as the video itself -- sometimes longer -- I uploaded an hour video at Christmas and it took four hours, and we have FIOS -- Everybody is cranky right now, and worried about what if you or your loved one gets this virus -- 25,000 people have died in the US since just March, and probably a whole lot more whose deaths are being contributed to another cause because they weren't tested -- My fear is that Rachel will stop posting, and again that's selfish of me -- not just her lovely personality, but her work is amazing, and I have deep, deep jealousy of her fabric and lace collections -- not to mention her books that are older than my country (the US) -- so I am politely asking, to those who are unhappy, before you comment, please think of the rest of us who love her videos, and try to resolve the issue on your end -- muting is easy, a click of your mouse or a tap of your finger -- posted with kindness, Patricia PS: My post does not include -- I'll get your name wrong, so please forgive me -- Sandra? -- your posts about her using labels are so funny, are not mean spirited in any way, and make me laugh every time -- especially when you confessed to using a label of your own -- HA !!

[@roxycreations679]

Hahaha, it's Sherry! She really cracks me up and I know she secretly loves my labels! I put them on thinking of Sherry everytime!!! You are always so kind! Stay safe! Thank you so much!

[@salvagedcountrycharm-alici3216]

I 100% agree with you. I love the whole process. The sharing of time and talents is incredible. I would be devastated if there were no more videos. Rachel... your videos keep me calm and inspired. Never allow anyone to make you make you feel you should change a thing! It amazes me how one person feels they are so important everything a person does should be tailored to their liking. I've seen it on other channels as well. I love everything you create, the process, and your genuine personality. Big crafty hugs from far away!

[@SaltLifeGypsy68]

Agree 💯 some people Want to see the sewing process. They've never sewed a journal and are Terrified of trying it! Seeing someone else do it Successfully is what will give them the Umph they Need to Try! 😍🙏 Keep doing Your Thing with No Apologies!

[@melindadoran9620]

The journal is stunning! I love watching you create. The sound of the sewing machine is fine. It adds to the tutorial. I don’t know what is wrong with people. Thank you for explaining why you do what you do. I have learned so much! I would not have known about the presser foot adjustment if you had not mentioned it. Thank you! O and I like how you talk with Lulu and hubby while creating. You are my favorite to listen to. Stay safe! 🌸

[@roxycreations679]

You stay safe too! Thank you so much!

[@samanthaphillips5102]

I did not know about the presser foot either, so thank you Rachel for again teaching me the basics! TFS

[@beverlykunka8896]

It's all about the machine,,jeeeeezzzzz. ,,,just keep doing what your doing... We all love it. Don't change a thing,,I enjoy your waffling. Lol. Cheers, hugs to lulu,,and Steph ,,🙏🏻💐💕💕🍷❤️

[@sherryrector2275]

Beverly Kunka lol I told Rachel she could take donkey do and toilet paper throw it on a journal cover and it would turn to gold. She indeed has the touch and such a lovely and good hearted person

[@roxycreations679]

Oh my word you are too funny! Thank you so much!

[@lindasonnenberg3704]

Rachel, I want you to know that I love the sound of your sewing machine! I find it so relaxing and it calms my "nervous nellie" mind. I think it's because it takes me back to a time when my Mother would sew on her machine in the evenings...and all was right with the world. I'm astonished that others find it annoying, but I guess it just goes to show how different we all are and there's usually 2 sides to everything. Anyway, please keep your sewing machine going and know that I am gratefully relaxed 💙😍💙

[@roxycreations679]

I really appreciate your kind words and encouragement. Thank you so much!

[@dsflc]

Keep on sewing friend, complainers be gone!! We love watching you do all of it! You've inspired me to make one!! I love it! Ignore the naysayers! You're not here to please anyone! Love ya Rachel! Thanks for keeping us going and for inspiring us during all this nonsense!

[@roxycreations679]

Thank you so much!

[@bettywelsh348]

Rachel, you are an awesome mentor for those of us staring our journal journeys. I say “poo pay”’ to the stitching haters. We are blessed you take the time daily to demonstrate and share your talents

Thank you so much!

[@lorirobisheaux3519]

Rachel don't ever change who you are or how you do it, that is what we love about you. I love to watch your sewing videos, I enjoy your dialogue with us and a sewing machine should sound like a sewing machine. We appreciate all the time you invest in your videos for our benefit. Thank you always

[@roxycreations679]

Thank you so much!

I appreciate you showing the sewing machine because I wouldn’t have had a clue how to stitch on paper. Who needs that type of negativity anyway! 🥰

Thank you so much!

[@debbymartens3453]

Hello Rachel, your shabby cover looks gorgeous. I watch your channel because it is very enjoyable and I learn so much from you, I love to see the whole process and that includes the sewing machine. So I don't understand people complaining about the sewing noise.

[@roxycreations679]

Thank you so much!

[@jenniferw.2124]

Wow really, I can’t believe someone would ask you to edit out the sewing machine noise! This is your craft channel and sewing is a part of your craft! As you so politely suggested, she has a few options if she don’t like the sewing machine sound. Please don’t change a thing to accommodate that silly request! I love your channel just the way it is, sewing machine noise and for me the longer the video, the better as I love watching you create!! I so enjoyed today’s video as I am fairly new to the art of making junk journals (which I absolutely love) and I enjoyed learning how to make a fabric cover!! Thank you so much for sharing your talent with us and keep on using your sewing machine!! Hugs from America 🤗

[@roxycreations679]

Thank you so much!

[@medievalmirage]

Hello my lovely. This is such a beautiful tutorial. Absolutely love the look of it especially with that key. I am sorry others want you to go beyond what you can give. It is not fair to expect this of you. You are so right editing would totally disable your ability to upload as frequently as you do. To give you an example, I have been working on editing my recent uploaded videos for over a week now, I uploaded four of them a couple of days ago. One of them took four and more hours to edit, the other three, took 3 hours each but more is involved and I havent even factored how much time that took. That is 13 plus hours of editing for four videos. It totally stole all my energy, time, focus and attention, everything else gets thrown out the window. It is so time consuming and today I had enough, so I am taking a rare break from video editing and kit organizing and watching a few videos back to back and you were on my list to watch. So Rach hun, you do beautiful YOU!!! Your videos and tutorials are AMAZING! You are so wonderful trying to be so accommodating but not every request is reasonable or fair. This is your channel and we are your guests and we absolutely love & adore and are grateful for everything you do. We are here because we love the Rachel Roxy way of crafting and videoing! And we wouldn't have it any other way! Thank you so much dearest Rach. Huge hugs. XX

[@roxycreations679]

You are so sweet. I honestly wouldn't post many videos if I had to sit for hours editing them. It would be such a deterrant. I limited the sewing on this simply by stopping and starting the camera. I then joined them together, I can manage that, lol! Thank you so much!

[@medievalmirage]

@@roxycreations679 Thanks so much Rach. What a clever way of dealing with the recording and joining them together. You are a such clever chook!! Xx I watched your Raven Gothic video and I am just about to leave a comment...see you over there. Xx

omg Rachel - I love the sound of the sewing machine - I can't sew anymore because I have developed a hand tremor - also - my mother, who passed away over 20 years ago, used to sew all the time, so I find the sound very soothing - you are so incredibly skilled-nd creative - please keep doing exactly what you are doing - love you

[@neorachana5604]

Gorgeous cover. Sounds like you are not letting the critics get to you, which is good. Essentially your cover is a mini quilt. One thing quilters do to keep the layers flat is to work from the center out. That way you can pull things snug more easily as you work.

[@roxycreations679]

That's correct especially with a larger piece. i didn't worry about this one too much and didn't seem to have any problem, that being said I did stop and check everything was laying flat. Thank you so much!

Love your videos Rachel's, don't apologise for anything especially when you say sorry that it's too long, I'd be happier for them to be longer, you always have such great ideas, very inspiring and love to just catch up with what's going on with you 😘 keep up the great crafting and don't change a thing xx

I would like to ask a few questions about your tea dying process and ephemera printing techniques. Thanks from Melbourne, Oz x

I have always wanted to try a lacy journal cover so I really enjoyed watching your process, so I am happy that you ignored the ignorant person who complained I hope they are on today and see and read all your messages about that so she can realize she was being a big cranky pants. I was gifted a big tub of old doilies, hankys and curtain lace so I have been itching to do one of these . I have no problem cutting up the tattered ones but it is definitely harder with the really nice ones that are in good condition. Then I go to a thrift store and they are selling for 50 cents to a $1.00 each I think the highest price I have seen is like $5.00 for a bigger pieces.. This has turned out so pretty I even love the inside fabric. Thanks so much for the share. Please stay healthy and happy. Hugs and Smiles

I have some pieces i can't cut up which is saying something as I have no problem cutting many things, lol! Thank you so much!

I love, love and did I say love this journal cover!! I enjoyed your sharing the sewing process as I am new to sewing, and learned what to do when sewing pieces like this together. I stitching on the inside of the cover is very eye appealing to me, as well. Rachel, thank you for an extremely useful tutorial.

[@roxycreations679]

I like the stitching inside too and it's a great way to hold your layers together. It also makes the cover feel much firmer. Thank you so much!

Wow oh WOW! That is just beautiful Rachel. I’ve been struggling with the lace placement on my cover but I think you have helped me with my thought process..so grazie! As far as the sewing machine noise goes...stick with what you’re doing. Looking at all the other comments below mine I think the general consensus is that whoever was complaining has no ground to stand on.! Being old gives me some leeway in what I say but I’ll be polite and just say majority rules...and the majority says don’t change a thing! And don’t apologize..you’ve done nothing wrong.

[@roxycreations679]

Those comments just make me second guess and feel self conscious. I won't change too old for that! Thank you so much!

Thank you Rachel for this detailed video.

Thank you so much!

[@cathiespalding5311]

Absolutely love the lace and material placement on this cover..lovely....and I love to hear your sewing machine running

[@roxycreations679]

Thank you so much!

[@janiceseymour2064]

I love your videos and the sewing machine ‘noise’ motivates me to get mine out. I’ve been off work this week having some downtime after a hectic and chaotic few months and have found these videos not only inspirational but very relaxing - I love the chatter with your family, your thoughts on how you make decisions etc ... please don’t let the ‘noise’ of complainers in and keep on doing what you do it’s just 👌 ... 💜

[@roxycreations679]

I hope you are well and safe! Thank you so much!

[@alisondavidson5962]

Hi I,m very late watching this video 4 yrs late, lol, but I had to comment to say I love watching you sew with the machine. I love watching the whole process, and like you said, their are options for people who don't like it 😊 tfs ❤ alison

[@roxycreations679]

[@romelewandowski6725]

[@roxycreations679]

Thank you so much!

[@ireneoakley6259]

I really loved the cover and I agree with the other posts about the noise of the machine there is always a mute/volume button so don't worry I am only too grateful for people to impart their knowledge with us, especially for those like myself who have only just joined the junk journal group.x

[@roxycreations679]

Thank you so much!

[@SCRAPBOOKINGWITHMECRAFTS]

I love hearing the sewing machine lol. That is why they have the mute button.

[@roxycreations679]

That's what I think! Thank you so much!

[@blue-penmisty-dawn3682]

I love your “Shabby” journal cover, Roxy ❤️. Thank you for another wonderful inspiring video! 💕

[@roxycreations679]

Thank you so much!

[@angelathoma-dogwoodpaperarts]

Oh my gosh, the shabby journal cover is stunning! So beautiful with the fabric and those vintage laces.

[@roxycreations679]

Thank you so much!

[@crab3696]

I made one today using quilt batting which made all the difference. It gives the fabric more structure and it was easy also for me to glue fabrics onto it. It turned out great and appreciate the tips on how to lay it out in advance. Makes everything go much faster. Thanks Rachel !

[@roxycreations679]

Thank you so much!

[@denisekaufman104]

Love all you do! Keep up the sewing.🤗

[@roxycreations679]

Thank you so much!

[@joycekuhlman4450]

I appreciate everything you do. Your handwork and journals and digitals are all awesome! And I would hate for you to leave because of someone not thinking before they speak!! Thank You for everything you show and teach us with tips and giggles 😂

[@roxycreations679]

Thank you so much!

[@bellascraftystudio]

Oh Rachel thank you so much for showing us how to piece together a lace cover, I was so enthralled i was drooling. You make it look so easy. Bless you for taking the trouble to teach us . I really enjoyed this video. I don't mind the sewing either I'm just grateful that you give up your time for us. Sending big hugs. xx

[@roxycreations679]

Thank you so much!

[@tuesday_dawn]

Who the heck dares to criticizes the way you do your videos... my goodness that’s so nervy! I absolutely love your videos and enjoy watching your creative process. I’ve learned so much from you. Please don’t feel you ever need to justify your videoing process... Those who don’t like can move along!! ❤️

[@roxycreations679]

It happens sometimes! Thank you so much!

[@marjoriewright5808]

Fabulous tutorial...just what I was looking for to help me get started on a fabric journal cover! Very lovely, Rachel!!!!!!!

[@roxycreations679]

Thank you! 😊

[@JoAnn4gracenotperfectionm815]

Pretty shabby cover! Whoever receives it will surely treasure it💗

[@roxycreations679]

Thank you so much!

[@junebamburg1704]

The cover is gorgeous. I love the key, clever idea. I enjoyed the video. Thank you.❤️🙏🏻

[@roxycreations679]

Thank you so much!

[@tashilongthorp2295]

Oh! I'm dying over this!!! It's so scrumptious. Just love it!

[@roxycreations679]

Thank you so much!

[@tammyengland47]

Gorgeous!! I personally enjoy the sewing, not being a novice, I need all the teaching I can get! lol Thank you Rachel!

[@hummerklein2567]

Tammy England I agree

[@roxycreations679]

Thank you so much!

[@Marilynlovesebiking]

Hi, Rachel. This cover is gorgeous. I am a tiny bit envious of all your lace. Wow. I am slowly building up my supply. Using the key for a closure is a great idea. I am excited for April 24 when you reveal the prizes for your birthday challenge.

[@roxycreations679]

Thank you so much!

[@lisajmascord8183]

After watching 49 dragonfly’s doing the edits, I agree, editing does look like a deterrent. Your videos are great. Love the weave pattern, colour and texture of that fabric. Love it.

[@roxycreations679]

I would literally post once a month if I had to do all of that editing, it's not for me. Thank you so much!

[@cindylouwho9557]

What a wonderful journal cover, absolutely beautiful .... I would give it a home in a second!😂 I love your videos just the way they are.... don’t change a thing! I look forward to your videos when I get home from work.... I relax and eat my dinner while you craft and tell about your day or tell us history about Italy/Australia.... which I love 💕 You are a great crafter..... you make me laugh too. So, with all that being said, don’t apologize for using sewing 🧵 machine ..... it doesn’t bother me at all. Just like you said, they can watch someone else or turn down the volume.....😁 Hope you and your family are doing ok, hope Steffy is feeling better! Hugs 🤗

[@roxycreations679]

I hope you are well and safe! Thank you so much!

[@janedovenbarger610]

You inspire me. I love how you do things on the fly. That’s you creating 💕

[@roxycreations679]

Thank you so much!

[@karengiannini4400]

You are so brave when you cut and sew! I'm so afraid to cut into beautiful laces, etc. - hence the hoard and few gorgeous covers! lol You give me courage ... thanks!

[@roxycreations679]

Thank you so much!

[@sherryrector2275]

Simply adore this lovely creation Rachel.
