😊 About My Sewing Journey:
I started this sewing journey three years ago (2017). In the last two years I have lost more than 25 pounds through intermittent fasting. I am more determined now to sew clothes that fit well. Clothes that fit my lifestyle and that I know I will wear. I am also challenging my sewing skill this year with a few fun wardrobe pieces and as I go along. If you are a beginner to sewing or returning after a long time, some of the patterns in this video may challenge your skill. Some will gently refresh your sewing skill and make you feel accomplished! I hope that my channel inspires you to join me on this sewing journey.
I have been intermittent fasting since October 2018. I have lost over 25 pounds and 3 dress sizes. I started intermittent fasting to gain control over my Type 2 Diabetes. I am no longer Diabetic. I fast 20 hours most days and loosen up more on the weekends to enjoy special occasions with family and friends. Intermittent Fasting is flexible and doable. I will be adding more about my intermittent fasting journey in future videos.

Hi Carmen! I was one amongst many that purchased sewing/craft items from Temu. Things like lace, elastic, ankara fabric, presser feet, buttons, and rulers were all a thumbs up while a majority of their sandals weren't so great in fit and appearance. The site was adictive at first but the buying experiences soon taught me better, lol. Thanks for sharing here on YT, Carmen!

[@carmensalome]

Agree it was addicting! Thanks for watching 😊

[@lucyscott736]

I purchased multifunctional kit 11 pieces, sewing machine feet. So far it’s been working good. Thank you

[@carmensalome]

Hi Lucy! Its great to hear about the presser feet kit. I wondered about that. Thank you for stopping by. 😊

[@InspiredLeather]

Fun video. I haven’t shopped Temu but I might have to check it out

[@annigjestaples8997]

Love the tiny sewing machine pin. Thanks for sharing

[@carmensalome]

I love that pin. Thank you for watching ☺️

[@charissecolbert7204]

Great review Carmen, Thanks for the information!

[@carmensalome]

Hi Charisse thank you for watching! 🙂

[@sewlovelywithgrace]

I've heard of Temu. Never been there. Now you've peaked my interest! Thanks for sharing your honest opinion. Happy Sewing!

[@TruLuvDesignz]

I'm buying the handheld vacuum today! Thanks for sharing, Carmen!

[@carmensalome]

Hey T, i think you will find it useful in the sewing room! Thank you for watching 🙂

[@crumpetsteaandsewing]

Cool tools! Thanks for sharing!

[@carmensalome]

Hey Tea, thank you for watching!!

[@zoeemiko8149]

I LOVE the small Temu haul videos!

[@carmensalome]

Hey thanks for watching! 😊

[@ZeldaSews]

Oh I just love your hair! I love the silver curls! I am new here and I do know about Temu because I buy a lot from them! Hahaha

[@carmensalome]

Hi Zelda! I am "sew" glad you are here! It has taken me years to appreciate the curls the good Lord has blessed me with. Thank you for the lovely compliment. I know what you mean about Temu, I have to be careful.....it can be addicting! Thank you for watching.

[@Silver_Threads_Sewing]

Thank you so much for this information. I was just told about TEMU last week and hadn’t got my courage up to order yet. The needles were something I was interested in as I’m having some vision problem lately. That little sewing machine is adorable. ❤

[@carmensalome]

Hey there! Thanks for watching. The needles were a bust, but there are other threader aids on their site that might help. I love that little pin and plan to order a few for gifts. Thanks again! ❤❤

[@SharonSews]

Fun review Carmen! I hadn’t heard of Temu, and it looks like you found yourself a few useful sewing notions!

[@carmensalome]

Hey Sharon thank you for stopping by. Since seeing this one, you will probably see it everywhere now 😀

[@suzettesingson1002]

Thank you for the review on Temu! I’ll check out the site! It was very nice to meet you at the Expo 😊

[@carmensalome]

Suzette it was sew nice to meet you! It was a great showing for being the first meet up. I cant wait for next year!

[@DebsWay]

Hi Carmen! It was so good to meet you at the Sewing Expo in Lakeland!! Temu seems to be becoming quite popular; you found some good buys there! Thanks for your honest opinion on your buys!

[@carmensalome]

Hey Deb it was very nice to meet you in Lakeland and so much fun to meet up with other sewing sisters. I agree TEMU is trending for sure. Thank you for stopping by to check out my Temu mini haul.

[@regalstylesbymtg2317]

Hi Carmen, you got some goodies. I was skeptical about ordering.

[@carmensalome]

Hi M the needles were crappy. But i love and use the little vac. The prices are really great. But it is hard staying away from that site!! 😕 spending too much time looking and adding to the cart....

[@ChristineSewsALot]

I like a tidy serger too! I had wondered about those easy thread needles. I bought myself a desktop needle threader for those super small needle eyes and it works great. It is by clover.

[@carmensalome]

Hi Christine my sister!! Those needles are 😖 awful! I will look up the clover one. Thank you for stopping by 🙂

[@jamesbrown-om5bu]

So great to see you in Lakeland! Happy Sewing! Cheryl 🇨🇦

[@carmensalome]

Cheryl it was wonderful to meet you too! Are you sewing this week?

[@jamesbrown-om5bu]

No riding the motorcycle with hubby! Company arrives tomorrow. Not much sewing......

[@carmensalome]

@@jamesbrown-om5bu that sounds awesome!!

[@MichelleSewsAgain]

I haven't used Temu yet - I didn't realize it was based in the US. I have one of those handheld vacuums, I use it for my keyboard on my computer. Thanks for all the reviews!

[@carmensalome]

Hi Michelle its an interesting site. You are right about using the handheld on the keyboard. Thank you for that! ❤

[@ec1582]

They are Chinese owned

[@TodayinJensSewingRoom]

I love this! I'm ready to go shopping! xoxoxoxox

[@carmensalome]

There is so much on the site at great price, its a bit dangerous. :)

[@myralorraine]

Nice little mini haul from Temu! I have one of those little vacs, but it didn’t come from Temu and I love it! Thanks so much for your honesty with these pieces! Yes, I did order some cabinets for my work room from Temu and while I am OK with them, I’m a little disappointed with their customer service!

[@lindalai9092]

I LOVE TEMU

[@carmensalome]

Me too! It's addicting! I have to be careful. Thank you for watching ☺️

[@lavadajenkins2955]

Thanks Carmen, I have been wondering about that company.

[@carmensalome]

I find myself on their site quite a bit and watching other hauls on youtube 😔

[@lawrencejlittle]

Love the vacuum even though I bought mine from Amazon but buying another one from Temu because it looks like it performs better

[@carmensalome]

Hi Lawrence. I love my little vac. It works very well. Thank you for watching!

[@dizzyquiltsandsews]

Awesome review! I have been seeing Temu all over the place and was wondering what it was all about. I don’t typically order things from the US because shipping to Canada is crazy expensive, but some of those prices are really low!! 💞

[@carmensalome]

Hi Izzy!!! They have shipping partners everywhere. In fact my package came from canada. Shipping is free. Take a look to see if they would ship to you. Thank you for watching 🙂

[@beckypetersen2680]

Stuff is coming from China.

[@63Kelsey]

There is a Temu Canada. Temu is from China. There is a Temu Australia. This is not an American company.

[@gaillongabard3708]

I also also bought the sewing needles and the same thing happened to me. It caught the thread from the fabric I was sewing.

[@carmensalome]

Its a bummer. They need to work on that concept a little more...lol. thanks for watching.

[@SewAndTellwithDori]

Hi Carmen. Would love an updated review of your cordless mini vacuum cleaner from TEMU at some point. I'm still hesitant to buy one. Been trying to figure out an alternative solution using my regular vacuum cleaner, such as installing an air hose used for fish tanks into the end of my vacuum cleaner crevasse attachment. This would allow me to get lint dust build up out of smaller areas in my sewing machines, allowing more flexibility to get to those hard to reach places, as well as having more suction power. Wouldn't be nearly as convenient as having a cordless, hand-held vacuum. If one is going to vacuum the floor of their sewing room, that would be the time to clean out a sewing machine. Haven't tried my hose idea yet. Thank you so much for doing your TEMU review. Love your channel! BTW: Pipe cleaners from Dollar Tree are also very good for getting large pieces of lint out of sewing machines. They are very flexible and very affordable.

[@carmensalome]

Ah, pipe cleaners! Thank you for that tip. Hand vac works great just wish it had a smaller attachment to get into small spaces in the serger. But it works great on surfaces and around the machine areas.

[@SewAndTellwithDori]

Like you, I've wanted a small vacuum for cleaning the lint from my sewing machines. As for a round wire brush for your sewing machine, I ordered a pack of drinking straw brushes from Amazon that work very, very well for both cleaning lint out of sewing machines as well as smoothie straws. I'm going to continue to look for a small vacuum that will have an extension that will get inside the areas that are notorious for collecting fabric lint and threads. Would like to go through a company that I know will be good for a refund, if necessary. Your sewing machine pin is adorable!!!

[@carmensalome]

Dori thank you for the drinking straw brush tip! Im going to look for those on Temu and Amazon. Love the little pin. I hope to pick up a few more for gifts. Thank you for stopping by. 😊

[@helend222]

Japanese self threading needles are excellent.

[@carmensalome]

Are those different then the ones I show?

[@marylusk8287]

Carmen, Temu has a lot more sewing notions buttons, zippers,s and more I purchased a notcher it is like a puncher but it is for cutting the notches in the pattern.

[@carmensalome]

Hi Mary, yes, i saw lots of sewing related stuff but most i did not need. However, i did not know about the notcher . Thank you for letting me know!!

[@pjacksreads536]

Thanks

[@carmensalome]

Thank you for watching! 🙂

[@gigiontube]

I found those self threading needles to be very useful in quilting, when removing the loose threads from the face of the quilt is needed. Just thread the needle and move to the back of the quilt for knoting.

[@carmensalome]

That's great Gigi. I could not get them to work for me when hand sewing. Thank you for watching ☺️

[@yolandarowe3094]

Pipe cleaners are great for cleaning the dust bunnies out of machines.

[@carmensalome]

Great idea!!! Thank you for watching 🙂

[@cheryleaston6820]

I purchased the self threading needles from Amazon and mine were a thicker needle as well but the disappointment for me was the thread kept coming out of the hole as I was sewing. It was not worth it. Hope you have better luck.

[@carmensalome]

Hi Cheryl. I do not recommend the self threading needles. They are thick and dull, and the open end catches and pulls fabric threads. Total fail. Thank you for watching and commenting on your experience. 🙂

[@user-dc7xn7rg3z]

I ordered the same needles and had the same problem .

[@carmensalome]

Its a good idea just too bad it pulls the fabric.

[@scottydog6539]

I have used Temu plenty. I love them. Great items. Good quality. Diamond painting too. Jewelry is beautiful And sturdy. Fabrics and yarn are not good quality.

[@carmensalome]

Temu is addicting 😁 I have to stay away. Good to know that you have gad good luck with the jewelry quality. Thank you for watching.

[@63Kelsey]

Temu items are from China. They are in various countries. Temu Australia...Temu Canada etc

[@jolynnwhite7946]

🥰👍😍👗👗🧵

[@RollinWithRosie]

I Temu way to much, lol

[@carmensalome]

Hey Rosie i hear ya! Lol. Thank you for watching.

[@viralprimenetwork]

Really love this haul! Would love to have a collab with you also let us know if you are interested? 🤩

[@carmensalome]

Hey I'm glad you liked the video. Please feel free to email me the details. Thanks for watching.

[@dellarussell7963]

Have a Jesus Christ bless 2024 year. Remember, His Love, and pray for one another, and our Country.

[@carmensalome]

Amen! Thank you for watching 🙂

[@vickijd22]

Boston-based?? It's China.

[@carmensalome]

At the time of this recording they had a base in US and believe also in Canada. The stuff comes from China. Thank you for watching.

[@pambrown8378]

I was told Temu is based out of China and once you download it they can get whatever information they want off of your phone/computer

[@carmensalome]

Thank you for sharing. That may be true of any app that is downloaded. We have to be careful of every site we visit or app we download. Thank you for watching.
