Been there, done that!!! The Babylock machine you use was made by Brother. I’ve had several Brother and Babylock machines over the years and they all sieze up like that when the needle breaks. Such a horrible, terrible, awful feeling, so visceral, you never forget it! I’m so glad you kept that in the final edit. Liked and subscribed!

Breaking a needle scares the heck out of me too. Love this channel. I’ve lost about 50 lbs in the last 2 years and have gone from an xl to s-m. 😊All my clothes are really big. I haven’t bought much because I’m still losing (I’m 5ft and currently around 123lbs). I’ve donated a lot of clothes but there are some I want to adjust. I’m an experienced sewer, quilter, knitter and Crocheter however not very confident in my abilities. What you have done with the sweaters is great. I’m going to give adjusting my clothes a try. Thank you.

Rosemary Monty, first, congratulations on your weight loss journey. Secondly, since you are a veteran craftswoman, give resizing your clothing a try. And as a bonus, maybe you'll have enough of some fabric left over for a quilting project. It sounds like you are getting near to your goal weight.

Catherine, what a nice discovery to find your channel! My very simple, older Sears sewing machine has been gathering dust in the closet for several years and truthfully, I've been wanting to start sewing again. Eons ago, I worked in a notions department (actually also at Sears & Roebuck, if that tells you how old I am!) and I sewed all my own clothes in high school and for a few years afterwards - Mom always helped and encouraged me. She could sew all kinds of things without a pattern and is so talented! I have never gotten up to her level, but I always enjoyed sewing - only IF my things turned out well! Seeing you play around with these sweaters reminds me that I want to get started again. Thank you for this encouragement! Can't wait to see more of your videos.

I have been sewing for my whole life, and I am also a dedicated thrifter, which I think is great fun if you live where the thrift stores are loaded with great finds. I did live in Chicago, which has such great finds, but now I live in a smaller city and the thrifting is less exciting, and not so easy to find the best stuff. I have to say, for as long as I have been sewing, I never really thought of changing a sweater like you just demonstrated; I am impressed. I have fixed lots of holes, and changed some things, but not to the extent that you did. I now realize, since the thrifting is not as productive here, that I can change things, and now as I shop I will look at everything differently, knowing I can make it better for me, and for my daughter, who also loves to thrift. Thank you Catherine!

I love your short soliloquoy at 32:10 about how you deal with a project that is going sideways. I’ve been in this situation many times and often have been tempted to throw my hands in the air in surrender. Pressing forward in spite of everything often yields success. The other way to deal at peak frustration is to “step away from the machine”! Then go do something else for a while. When returning with a fresh mind, often the problem magically seems to solve itself. If pressing through and stepping away don’t work, then you “might” have a project that should be abandoned. 😅 Love your creativity with refreshing outcasts.
@CatherineSews2 жыл бұрын
Your advice about stepping away is very wise. Sometimes sleeping on it helps a lot, then, as you say, when you get back to it, it solves itself. And I agree, that there does come a point where abandonment is the only rational solution! I don't say, "Never give up." Just don't give up too easily 🤪

Re : Red sweater: could you try a little bling to cover the rough spots on the new neckline, such as seed beads with a little sparkle in a shade a bit darker ?. i have heard that the new fashion color for 2023 is magenta. I have a boiled wool short jacket in a plum color that i just loved but the moths ate random spots.,and the mends I made did not look so good. i treated the edges of the holes i could not fix with Fray Check, then sewed hot pink sequins over the mends and holes.. I added a sequin here and there to balance the effect.it turned out really nice. it was subtle with a sparkle here and there..& blended with the plum color as if it was designed that way.. The sequins do not detract in any way from any jewelry i may wear, such as a necklace or a brooch.
