Hi there! Really liked the video! And I definitely, absolutely love the idea for the tape measure, omgosh! I can't not for the life of me to find a cloth measuring tape without the plastic coating anywhere ! Well, now I know. Awesome ❤

I USE MY TRAVEL KIT WHERE I CARRY.WHEN I GRAVEL N PUT SHOOMPOON TOOTH PAST N RUSH N OTHERS THINGS.BUT NOW I USE IT FOR MY ZDWING WHEN I TRAVEI OR GO TO CLASS WORKS GREAT LOVE THEM FOR ALL MY SEWING GERMS

[@redbloomer1]

Love the idea of just pockets for sewing tools much neater than stitching pincushions ,scissor holders etc directly on to lining. The homemade tape is genius ( why didn’t I think of that😂) 🎉❤

[@LatelyFashionable]

Thanks! I did pockets mainly because I'm so indecisive, I didn't know exactly where I would want everything! This way I could rearrange the items later.

[@reneestarling9525]

Ha! The face when you're talking about mending breaches. That's the face of someone who's seen things... The framing and lighting in your close up section is excellent!

[@user-bw2cr9qo9b]

Thank you. I love your authentic housewife.

[@wolfsmensch1_051]

This video inspired me to make myself one. I made it completely by hand, red with whithe lining and red pockets, I looovee it!

[@FrontierTradingCompany]

Very helpful as I go about making something similar. Thanks for the work you put into this. When I heard that you had worked at Williamsburg you immediately got a new subscriber! I visited once and had my outfit critiqued by the tailor. Thanks again for posting.

[@kaybreedlove3050]

Love your sewing kit! I think I see one in my future. Thanks for sharing!💕

[@131dyana]

thank you.

[@cherylspear1633]

Very nice! Thanks for sharing.

[@nevafitzgerald2402]

Thank you for sharing !

[@944gemma]

Love this.

[@odulcina]

I like it! ❤ Will look at your other one now, I do a lot of embroidery in the car while travelling and that would be very practical to hold all the tools!

[@LatelyFashionable]

Mine usually sits on the arm of the couch next to my usual spot these days, so I can hand sew while watching TV. Sometimes it gets bundled up and brought with me to the park with my kids, and I'll embroider on a park bench while they play. It's really very versatile!

[@norahg2011]

I just loved this video so comforting sounds odd to say comforting but with world in such chaos this brought me back to normal I am going to try to make one first both my daughters and then for me😊

[@LatelyFashionable]

I'm glad I could bring you comfort! And I wish you well with making your own. 😊

[@lisawhitehall1870]

Beautiful

[@marialuisagarabelli9235]

Lovely!

[@LatelyFashionable]

Thank you!

[@varadamahajani6511]

My granny used to make this ❤

[@homephone6375]

Your outfit is so cute

[@Mehals_Diary]

So beautiful.....made with lots of luv. I will made just like urs

[@leechowning2712]

Love how comfortable you are in this dress. So often I see folks working in historical sites or ren-faire who you can see this isn't their choice. The one good thing about quarantine is how many history folks I see on here now.

[@a.b.7817]

Hi, really nice housewife ! May I ask where the fabrics come from ? The blue one especially 🤗

[@LatelyFashionable]

Oh, I thought I answered that in the video! They are both scraps from 18th century gowns that I made when I worked in the costume shop at Colonial Williamsburg.

[@a.b.7817]

@@LatelyFashionable thanks ! I must have missed it !

[@944gemma]

Do you ever do any spinning or weaving?

[@LatelyFashionable]

I've done a little spinning, but no weaving yet. I'd like to learn!

[@janharvey1024]

Stop the music, please!

[@LatelyFashionable]

Thanks for the tip. I made this video four years ago.

[@janharvey1024]

@@LatelyFashionable sorry If I put my foot in it. The music was loud, and I would rather listen to you, you are much more interesting, and informative. Great vid otherwise.

[@LatelyFashionable]

Thank you for your kind words. I have since learned to not put music under my speaking segments. I was still somewhat new to video making in 2020, and it is a steep leaving curve! 😆
