What Type of Sewist are you?

[@dacrayzblaze1]

That buzzfeed quizcalled me a perfect perfectionist and the lie detector determined that that is a lie

[@StephanieCanada]

🤣🤣🤣

[@howcanikeepfromsinging]

Me too 😆

[@barbaraferron7994]

That's pretty brave of you to show us your sewing room, thank you. I feel at home there. I have the same style of upsidedown lamp shade, in a corner with a roll of fabric stood up in it. It is my dream to have a place for everything and everything magnetically attracted to It's place. When my kids were in school, every fall, I would organize right after school started, but come October my kids would tear it apart looking to make Halloween costumes. They'd " put it back" by just stuffing willy nilly. They've all flown the nest but I'm too tired and there's grandkids and cats.

[@StephanieCanada]

Yup! I believe clutter is morally neutral and I am happy to share my creative mess! And I know how the "organize it" only for it to get clogged up again life is!

[@Braindomme]

I literally winced at the thought of rolling a fabric cutter over my hand 😭 that goat scream clip was accurate lol

[@StephanieCanada]

Right?! Like OUCH

[@stevezytveld6585]

I'm currently working on my first Advance pattern from the 50's. So I'm adapting as best I can to 'not having my hand held' by the pattern instructions. Translation - where the heck is _that_ dart marked in the perforations and what do you mean, in step 8, I suddenly have to make bias tape... no where in the printed does it even mention that you little... augh! Translation - I start organized and neat, with all the very best of intentions. And then slowly descend into chaos demon. - Cathy (&, accidently, Steve), Ottawa/Bytown/Pimisi

I got "Sincere Sewist" too! What a nice way to say that I don't know what I'm doing but I put my heart into it 🤣

[@Motorsportqueen]

Stephanie once again you had me in stitches. I have been selling patterns for nearly 7 years and only made my first dress last year. I found a 1970s jumper pattern that was a size 52. I made bags before that. I am sharing this video on my facebook group page. 🤣

[@StephanieCanada]

Aww thank you so much Colleen! That means the world to me!

[@JenInOz]

I recently reorganised my sewing room - swapped out of my child's ex-bedroom and put the bookcases in there instead to make room to have all my sewing stuff in one room. Three weeks without sewing and my family knew to avoid me and my moods! I planned to *finally* make a pair of jeans I've been planning for at least 5-10 years first. Made a pair of leggings (which I knew I could do in a couple of hours) while planning the jeans toile. Next up is a 1953 Australian Home Journal dress for a bit of a different sort of challenge. I skipped a line in the instructions and was puzzled for a bit, but figured it out. To my utter surprise the toile actually fits! Need to choose buttons next... and the right fabric from my stash...

[@asilverfoxintasmania9940]

the home journal dress sounds interesting! And way to go on the leggings!

[@StephanieCanada]

YOU DID IT! Now for finishing touches. Way to go!

[@gadgetgirl02]

For "biggest challenge", they forgot to include "sacrificing enough to the sewing gods so my machine will work this time".

[@MiffoKarin]

For the attached seam question, I think they mean like for example if your center back seam has been folded left when sewing the neckline and folded right when sewing the hem? Either way, I got sewing slob and busy enthusiast. I would personally call myself a chaos goblin. I just finished a project and there's a mess over the entire surface of the table. 😅

[@StephanieCanada]

Oh you may be right! But I definitely don’t care that much. 🤣 Proud of you for finishing items! That is really all the matters.

[@OfficialLadyDarkSky]

i got Sewing Slob You know what you can get away with - whether it's not snipping your seam allowances (seriously... no one's going to see them) or not top stitching and pressing (because it's just for you/your kids and you don't care so no one else should). But it doesn't matter; you love sewing and you have a lot of fun doing it. Oh, and you and I have the same pile of clothes that were never hemmed. Oops...LMAO

[@janisi9262]

About 20% of the time, when I finish a project, I glare at it and it goes into time-out for a day or two before I come back and fix whatever issue came up, but I've also been developing a shorts pattern and it's driving me NUTS.

[@StephanieCanada]

BWAHAHA! See whereas when I finish a project it goes on my body immediately. But THEN may sit in time out.

[@kirstencoats4262]

I'm so glad you're back! Thank you for taking the time to post more videos. It's always fun to see your take on sewing things.

[@StephanieCanada]

Thank you Kirsten! It feels good to be back. Next week is a sewing video, another “one size” test.

[@StephanieCanada]

Thank you so much Brenda you are too kind.

[@killamoosdraree730]

It amuses me that people have sewing rooms... I have sewing areas throughout my home. My creative chaos cannot be locked into one room. Yes, I may have snapped my glasses in half whilst floor trolling... Thanks for a fun video!

[@DaphneAbernathy]

I got the same results on both tests and on the Buzzfeed I didn’t match you except for the state of my sewing room one. Glad to see videos from you again 😃

[@WantedVisual]

The only way sewing saves money, factoring in the time aspect, is if you can do your own modifications and mends. We have several sewing shops around the office building that hem pants, take in seams, replace failed elastics and fix burst seams. Every visit takes at least 45 minutes, and every transaction includes two visits. My hemmed jeans have slightly visible hems, but my colleagues literally pay someone to take away two of their lunch breaks.

[@thorunns.craftstudio]

on buzzfeed, i got "capable clothier"...it's a mostly correct description of how i work lol...on the seamwork quiz i got "fabric focused maker" which was also fairly accurate.

[@StephanieCanada]

Very cool!

Have you seen mccalls 5360? It’s a 1970s vintage dress that looks kind of like a toga sort of idea. But it’s supposed to be one size.

[@cupcake80098]

Hello Ms. Stephanie, I love you but I also may have a bit of resentment towards you. I am now obsessed with vintage sewing patterns, it's so bad. I've been to about three estate sales in the past week and too many thrift stores to count.

[@StephanieCanada]

I mean it is a bug you catch. It helps me to remember that I only have so much time and energy, which means if I buy too many I will just get overwhelmed. I hope that helps!

[@cupcake80098]

@@StephanieCanada Thank you for taking your time to reply, and just thank you for the videos. It's such a joy to watch your videos. I love learning about vintage sewing patterns, the sheer amount I've learned since finding your channel is incredible. While my machine is in the shop, for two months, I'm learning everything about patterns in the meantime.

[@thedrinkinggames9573]

You answered the Buzzfeed one exactly as I did and I also don't understand how that answer works!

I’ve been rewatching your older videos because Ive missed you!

[@StephanieCanada]

Aww thank you. I am back now for a least a little bit. ❤️

[@Deuteronomy-uw8ls]

The Buzz Feed gave me Perfect Perfectionist. The only thing that fit was my desire to teach sewing. Seamwork gave me busy enthusiast. This is accurate

[@BenitaStory]

Very interesting. On the Buzzfeed quiz, most of my answers were different than yours (we are alike as to the state of our sewing areas), but my results were the same as yours down to the "uncluttered workspace." I think it's set on random and you get the next random result.

[@sallylang2576]

Found you from Thrifty Business. Can't wait to watch as I work on listing! I'll skip the quizzes as my answers were similar to yours and I'm calling bogus o the results!

This is so funny, Stephanie. We got the same exact answers, and we work in completely different ways. Except I felt like the answers actually applied to me.

[@StephanieCanada]

TOO FUNNY! I am glad they make sense for you, I was quite perplexed by mine.

[@kanamekuran77]

I did the Buzzfeed quiz but not the Seamwork one because I didn't feel comfortable with some rando company having my email address. The resutl I got was "Capable Clothier".. It states... "Capable Clothier - You make the most of your time sewing. You know that you don't have to baste EVERY TIME, but probably when you're gathering something. You know how to hem properly, but you may skip the cover stitching in favor of a plain zig zag stitch. You may find yourself multitasking - eating and sewing, maybe? You probably enjoy sewing a lot since you don't let it stress you out." It's pretty spot on, especially the part about multitasking aka "eating and sewing at the same time" 🤣

[@alexandraleigh]

Well, my Dear, I did it and Jumped head first into sewing after years away {I Thought after watching you and my host of Fav sewists should pay off} and It DID!!

[@haveaballcrafting8686]

Pattern calls for an invisible zipper…then I e) redraft that part of the pattern to work with some other closure. Maybe a lapper zipper, maybe buttons, maybe lacing. And I do take invisible zips out of RtW and put in real closures, too.

[@bunhelsingslegacy3549]

I also identify as a chaos goblin/floor troll. I don't have a sewing room so my fabric is stored in two trunks in the spare bedroom and the iron in the bathroom next to it. The current projects pile is downstairs on my sofa and piled on top of the rabbit cage... I do plan out some projects meticulously (usually because of limited fabric) and I've had to implement a firm rule that before starting something new, I must finish a UFO and get something off the mending heap. And aside from notions, no new fabric, all new projects must be made with stash fabric until stash all fits in the two trunks...

[@StephanieCanada]

That is a great way to handle it! I love the two trunks or bust idea.
