April 2019 Catch Up

[@JayneMosier]

Love catching up with you. I did 3 muslins for a blazer that I am making with Whitney at TomKat stitchery sew along. I refuse to throw in the towel! Not only making size adjustments to 8 body pieces (princess) but then there is a bag lining that had to match up, facing pieces plus vents at back and on sleeves! At least I am learning a lot! I have high hopes! Luckily I have fun projects waiting for me. Big congrats on school acceptance, very exciting!!

[@loriannpayne4483]

Hi Nikki - I know you! I just knew you could make it into pharmacy school - well done! Thanks again for the vintage patterns. I found a couple that I really want to make! I’m sure you’ve checked out Claire’s channel/Beautiful Things. You’re in it. You cracked us up and we were delighted to meet you and spend time with you. Love your kitty. Sew Nikki, SEW! Hugs too...

[@SewingatMidnight]

I had such a great time with you guys! Anytime you are in town, let me know and we can hang out again. You and Claire were an absolute treat, so thank you so much for inviting me out!

[@rggonzales6248]

So funny that near the end of the video you talk about a new sewing friend. I was just thinking that it would be nice to have a friend that sews as I watched your video. Don't be discouraged, I look for your videos just to hear you talk about sewing! Have fun at the guild!

[@SewingatMidnight]

It was really nice! The good thing about the group that I will be joining is that they don't just sit in a room and watch someone present, or lecture on a topic and go home. They bring their machines in once a week and go from 9-2 and just sit and sew together and talk. Very informal and they have cutting tables and irons going and everyone is wandering about showing off their projects. It was welcoming and I loved every minute of it.

[@susankennedy6351]

Congrats on your new lifes' adventure! And I love it that you show us your fails...keeping it 100 as they say. I went into my sewing space today and the only thing I could muster up was tracing a real old loose fitting Butterick top to see about doing a color block and then maybe lengthening it to make a dress. And then I slapped some homemade bias tape around the armhole of an old fleece jacket and VIOLA! I have a vest for our upcoming rainy season. I laughed and shook my head on the way out and remembered some of my moms' advice..'some days are just not meant for sewing.'

[@SewingatMidnight]

Susan, keeping it 100 is my new motto for the channel. I think its important and helpful to others to show where things go wrong so they can either avoid it, or so they don't feel so bad about when their own projects go off the rails! It happens to us all. I think there is a lot of pressure on social media to be perfect and to do perfect things and that just isn't the reality of life. So, you will always get real talk from me!

[@susankennedy6351]

@@SewingatMidnight Great perspective Nikki, and kudos to you for telling it like it is. I'm your moms' age, have been sewing for over 50 years (with time off while doing other things life throws at you) and I stll run into problems. I really appreciatie when you ladies with your channels show us what can go wrong and how to fix it, or why that fabric really won't work with that pattern. That's valuable info for the newbies out there. Good work!

[@Joy4650B]

Congratulations getting in RX School. My hubby is a Pharmacist. Also, I never noticed before what pretty blue eyes you have! Must be the new color walls behind you. Don't feel bad. Viv and I both had sewing failures last week. Something is in the air or the water or both! I understand the frustration about the weight gain. I have a perfect outfit I made a year ago to wear to church on Easter, and it is just a TAD too tight. I have to lose five pounds by Sunday!!! I am so happy you have a sewing friend and a group to go to. Hugs, Joy

[@SewingatMidnight]

Hi Joy! I love your channel! I refuse to feel bad about bad bodices, its either a learning opportunity or its going in the trash, I think this one is salvageable, but I need a break from it. Sometimes its nice to go for the easy win as a confidence booster, ya know? A couple of the girls in the group watch your channel and absolutely adore you!

[@Joy4650B]

I didn't know you watch me. What a sweet surprise. I LOVE the videos you did with Viv at the Library. You two are great together. I grew up in Phoenix, AZ. OH! I have to show you my big cat, Bootsy when I get back home. He looks a lot like your Meowser.

Hi Nikki, I love your channel. Yours is the second sewing channel I subscribed to (after the fold line) since I took up sewing again and the one I check first for new episodes. Sister I feel your pain! Being larger than the standard pattern sizing your latest experience is my sewing life. I found a great fitting resource in Peggy Saegers and her PBS show Fit2Stitch. Often I will revert to quilting in order to get something out of my sewing room. Persevere, you will get it figured out. BTW love your mom too!

[@SewingatMidnight]

Thank you! Meowzer has been making me lose my mind lately. I will not underestimate how important doors are to sewing rooms ever again! I have been having a great time making new friends. I trend toward being a loner hermit person, so not only has this been really good for me to get out of the house, but it has made meeting new people not so scary anymore. That will help me when I start school and have to interact with people there.

Congratulations! I have a niece who is now studying for her PharmD degree. Yay for future pharmacists! I wish you much success..... Nice fabric choices. I look forward to seeing your makes. I like the top your wearing.....and I won't bother to tell you to put a snap in it LOL!!! I love your sense of humor. You keep it real! Have a great evening and happy sewing!

[@SewingatMidnight]

Patricia, I don't think a whole pack of snaps could save me from lighting that top on fire. You should have seen the bits I edited out... that thing was wide open from neck to waistband at one point! I don't know what I was thinking, but I was clearly out of my mind. Thank you for the congrats, and I am wishing your niece good luck!

[@vivmomsews4962]

We bought the same HL dotted stripe cotton spandex! Isn’t it sweet? I hope it doesn’t roll. Loved seeing your bodice fitting techniques and that dress looks hella complicated! Plus it’s Vogue - they throw us into the deep end and chuckle as we flail about. (I flail, but I shouldn’t talk for others.) So happy to hear you’re breaking into the sewing guild out there. Hope it’s a world of fun!!😄💕

[@SewingatMidnight]

Oh Viv, there was much flailing on my end. I really had high hopes and I still do, but trying to figure it out in my head was mentally exhausting. I need to set it aside and come back to it later. I just loved the colors in that fabric! Maybe we should challenge each other to use it and see what we come up with!

Hi Val! I had so much fun with Claire and Loriann, I highly recommend sewing outings with sewing friends! I am finally to the point with the house that I have some free time to sew instead of unpacking and cleaning! I need to sew a whole summer wardrobe before school starts!

Hi Janice, wouldn't you know that the only students at the school who don't wear scrubs are the pharmacy students? I had high hopes for some awesome drug prints! I will just have to impress the student body with cool non scrub outfits! I am doing a decent job of having fabric self restraint, but no one is perfect, right?

[@TodayinJensSewingRoom]

I'm not sure it's that life just goes that way some times, but it certainly is the way a Vogue pattern often goes. I have a similar Vogue pattern and it was one hassle after the next. I saw it on Natural Dane's channel and it was gorgeous! But sewing it - is it just Vogue? Dart issues, fit issues, lining issues . . . ugh. Makes you want to just give up on Vogue altogether. Maybe sticking to their less structured patterns is the key. I had a string of "didn't work" projects when I was doing that, so maybe that influenced my opinion. I do have a lot of Vogue patterns - And congrats on Pharmacy school! I hope the dress does work out because it's so cute. Good luck!

[@SewingatMidnight]

I agree with you Jen, Vogue can be challenging at times, but I think I can make it work later once I really get a handle on my body shape and size. I think that it will be worth it eventually, but right now, you are right, I need a win!

[@nicoleroberts1210]

Hi Nikki, congratulations on pharmacy school acceptance. A suggestion for the dress where you split the dart, I presume that you did that because of the dart bulk (too much fabric in dart), is not to split it; instead cut out the excess fabric by putting in a seam on dart legs. I learned this tip from Suzy Ferrer’s drafting bodice course on Bluprint. Hope this suggestion is helpful.

[@SewingatMidnight]

Hi Nicole! I actually did remove the bulk from the dart by cutting off the seam allowance, but I don't think it was a bulk issure, rather and angle issue. That dart is so wide that it is almost 90 degrees, that is what made it pointy, not too much fabric behind the dart. I split it to make the angle smaller so that it could taper more. The dart was just too short to handle that wide of an angle. Good idea though, it was worth trying it out!

[@Penguinandpear]

Lovely to catch up Nikki. Massive congratulations on getting into pharmacy school, I sense you worked your socks off for that! Pharmacists here are starting to take on a much bigger role now. We are being encouraged to seek advice from a pharmacist before seeking out a doctor. The pharmacist will take you in a private room and give you a consultation and then signpost if necessary. Does that happen in the US? I think its a poor answer to a big problem of doctors being inundated. Its only so long until pharmacists say it impeds them from doing their own job. Saying that, I think I'd trust a pharmacist more than a general practice doctor because their knowledge of medicines will be that much better. Im rambling now. Loved the vid x

[@SewingatMidnight]

That is really interesting! So, our retail pharmacists (the ones who work only at the drugstore itself) are able to give flu shots now, which does take the burden off of our clinics and hospitals, also they do consult with people who are looking for over the counter medicines to alleviate common non-emergency problems, but they really cant prescribe medications. There is a push toward something called clinical pharmacy which requires extra training, where you would work on a team with doctors to assist them in the prescribing part of the patient care which is something I am leaning toward. I will keep you posted on how it works. I have about of year of school to get through before they let me anywhere near a patient! Thank god for the patients on that!

Hey pretty girl, you look fantastic in that blouse! I'm so excited for you! Hugs to furbaby! I gave up buying fabric from Joann's, I buy from Stylemakers, fabricmart, fabric.com, thousandbolts for quilting. I do buy Joaan's online scrapbooking sale items and instore sale patterns/magazines occasionally though. Just some things you can't beat if they are on sale there! Hugs, how is that Arizona weather treating you? I'm in Michigan (with your mom) and we are not enjoying the warm, then cold, then hot, then cold, weather bullcrap!

Hi Tina! I have been steering well clear of my fabric sale emails so that I don't go too far astray! I am loving the weather, Tim and I have been enjoying our back patio in the afternoons and loads of sunshine on the weekends.

I am going to do my best to make time for both sewing and vlogging, but I have heard the first year is particularly difficult, so I may need some leeway from everyone!

[@lilolmecj]

I expect it will be very challenging and you might not have much spare time. I do encourage you to find a few minutes to sew at least weekly because it will help keep you balanced. Use the principal of 10-20-30 minutes to sew, just find a way. You don’t need to feel a pressure to vlog, though your channel is very fun to watch. As to that Vogue dress...are you sure it is even your style? When you were talking about it I just had a mental flash of you and your man (his name eludes me), and the Liberty of London fabric. The style lines are cool, but are they you? Just for fun, try taking two washcloths and make pretend shoulder pads for the top you are wearing, slip them in folded in half on each side and see if it improves the neckline. It almost seems like it is just a bit too long in the torso.

I went back and added the link in the description for everyone. Thank you for the well wishes and you know what 3k subscribers means....giveaway time!

I think Vivmom Sews bought the same stripe, 😊

[@SewingatMidnight]

She did! It has been confirmed, great minds do think alike!

Congratulations on being accepted to pharmacy school!

[@SewingatMidnight]

Thank you Laura, I was getting a little nervous about it for a while!

[@lisasmyth6408]

Why don't you baste on the seam line of your sleeve and neckline so you don't have to guess at the take up?

[@SewingatMidnight]

That's a really good idea!

Hey, get outta the corner! Nobody puts baby in the corner. Lol!

[@SewingatMidnight]

Sadly, I put myself in the corner! It is the only place without a bunch of windows... Poor me, right?

So lovely to meet you and spend the day shopping. Both my videos are now up on my channel too so you can check yourself out ;-)

[@SewingatMidnight]

I have now officially linked your channel in the description and now everyone can find you! I had such a blast spending the day with you and Loriann! Anytime you come back to Phoenix, feel free to hit me up!
