The Viral Fuzzy Fabric from

[@eileenmeyers6080]

Also. Another cheap lining is using a table cloth that has vinyl on one side and flannel on the back. BTW....I love your attitude about it. I have the same attitude and I've been sewing for over 45 years. I had 2 wonderful sewing "teachers"..... my mother in law and later an elderly friend. I am now starting to teach my 9 year old granddaughter. Last year she made a small quilt for herself. I gave her a sewing machine for Christmas last year cause she asked for one. Even her 6 year old brother wanted to sew so I helped him make a mug rug. He was so proud of himself. Thanks for telling new sewers not to stress....that is what discourages them and takes the joy out of sewing. ❤

You are a very specific and detailed tutor/teacher/instructor. Your style is both enjoyable and relaxing. After reading some of your viewers comments I have to wonder if they are actually paying attention?? You left nothing out…the walking foot attachment was mentioned more than once and I have no doubt that your daughter’s safety is your number one priority as you teach her how to sew. Love your tutorials!! Looking forward to more projects.

And I was so daring, I used another one of your videos to ✨box the corners✨ I made it as a makeup bag for a friends Christmas present using Nightmare Before Christmas (her favorite movie) fabric on the outside and jack-o’-lantern on the inside.

[@christenakavanagh5696]

Hi Chelsea, instead of a metal awl, from the dollar store get some 6-inch or 12inch bamboo skewers. The long ones can be broken in half. The sharp end is perfect for holding down or guiding your material through the needle without worrying that your needle is going to hit that metal awl. The narrow point is very forgiving if the needle touches it.

[@shesewsseams]

Good idea!

This seems like a wonderful chance to up-cycle my “fabric” waterproof shower curtain liner. They tend to stain on the bottoms but with a nice wash in BrightWhite and cutting the lower portion off, I can make bags for close friends and family. Sunscreen bag comes to mind. Also, Diaper changing mat comes to mind. Keep wipes and diapers and a mat inside this bag and throw it in the stroller.

[@shesewsseams]

Great idea!

[@barbarabenn4229]

I have a White sewing machine that I bought in the1970’s. What impressed me when I bought it was it had a high & low speed. We had a house fire in March & my son who lives up near Portland Oregon took my machine up there & got it fixed. The foot pedal still spelled so I took it to the sewing bee in Roseburg Oregon now it works great.

[@nancyrobards3800]

I love watching sewing how-to videos. My biggest pet peeve is those creators who don’t show the finished item at the beginning.

[@carlyk502]

I too learned how to sew in junior high of a Home Economics class. The two projects I remember was a wrap around skirt, & a corded rope drawstring gym bag. It helped a lot that my mother sewed as well. That turned into a big passion of mine to learn to sew more. I forget what age I was when I asked my mom for a sewing kit for one of my birthdays. Maybe 16? Never think you’re too old to learn something new, or feel that you know it all & you’ve somehow arrived & couldn’t possibly learn anything because you know everything. When I took a beginner’s sewing class, I had already been sewing for a few decades. I went in w/an open mind, & thought hey, I just might learn something I didn’t know before. That was my first experience w/a serging machine! Boy was I hooked. I told my husband once he picked me up from class that I needed one, & had to get one. I learned how to make my own sloper, a dress, & a pair of pants. Since I really was the only non-beginner to sewing of a class of about 30 classmates, & one teacher- I kind of became the teacher’s assistant when she was unavailable to help. So my classmates came to me w/their questions or for my help.

[@LauriesHandiwork]

I loved watching this video. You have such a positive attitude. I think your approach can help new sewers feel less stressed. I love it when people who have been sewing forever tell about mistakes that they have made because for far too long in my life I thought I was the only one who struggled with such things. It’s nice to know that even the most experienced sewist can make mistakes and move on. There are a couple of things that I think could be helpful to newbies. The first is if you could mention in some of your future videos how often the needle in the sewing machine should be changed. The second is to remind us that we need to have our needle in the down position when we lift the presser foot, for example when we turn a corner. I know new machines default to the needle down position but older ones don’t. Anyway, thanks for your videos, I need some encouragement to get back to sewing. I have so many projects I need to work on but because of my busy schedule I lost my desire and focus. These simple projects are often what I need to get back into the swing of things. :)
