I've watched every Sewing Weekender video (and I'll be rewatching my very favourites, Alison Smith and Jenn Hogg again!). I didn't think all would be of interested to me, but surprise! They were all entertaining, educational and inspirational. Thanks, Fold Line, for facilitating this virtual sewing retreat! It was fantastic.

Thank you for the feedback, we're so glad you enjoyed it!

I love that Folkwear kaftan! I almost always love their patterns, but that one in particular - it looks like just the thing to make in case we have a heatwave this summer!

[@rhonabell2131]

Always enjoy your videos! 👍

[@TheFoldLine]

Only too happy to help! It's hard not to snap up extra supplies when there's a good offer!

The boatneck dress is really beautiful. Channeling a bit of Audrey Hepburn! As always love the animated (magic) hands. Perhaps you were thinking of me as I sipped my coffee(shop) while watching! XOX

I’ve sewn for about 64 years, and take pride in the garments I’ve sewn. But when I can get a linen shirt for less than $10 from Costco which is less than the cost of the fabric, and less than the cost of the fabric, and less than the cost of the buttons , thread, and interfacing, it is kind of a no brained. That doesn’t even count the time spent.

[@marialshea6652]

But I sew because it's a soulful activity that nourishes me and connects me with past generations and other sewers.I sew because my garments are like ones you'd pay $300 or more for, not $10 at Costco. I pay more than I should for many textiles because they are produced sustainably and sold by people earning living (rather than slave) wages. I sew using (really cheap) fabric from a nonprofit that keeps fabric out of the landfill (hello, Our Social Fabric in Vancouver!). I sew sturdy, long-lasting, beautiful clothes for family so they can wear my love.

[@kathygann7632]

I agree with you, but $10 for travel pants that have zippered pockets and are quick drying to just too much of a temptation to pass up. Same for a twill skirt with attached shorts for $6

[@kathygann7632]

Reply #2. Also, thanks for the fabric store resource. I’ve put OSF on my calendar to visit soon!

[@published1789]

BTW, I tried to purchase tickets at 8:30 pm just now (Sunday) but the link just says sales ended or event ended. We've been out camping with no signal or I wouldn't have left it quite so last minute! Hope to catch it next year. ❤

[@traceyvincent2217]

Think about the slave labour aspect of the $10 shirt!
