I even use my linen dryer fuzz as stuffing for puppets!

So fun to hear my order mentioned!🥰. I love my scarves!!!!❤❤❤

you are out of this world - truly, you have no right being so helpful <3 as a very non-organized person, hearing from someone who is so very clearly "on it", is wildly encouraging... as I know I have a trusted go-to source when I'm needing steps to improve my process. I know my immediate take away for my current sewing project will be hiding the lines in the PDF before printing out my size. looveeeee that and had no idea that was possible.

Research “cotton lung”.

There’s an entire community of people doing fabric books! You should take a look! I have only made two, but I love them. They are delightful. Different fabrics, different purposes. One of my books is a sample book from a workshop on ink to fabric techniques. I love that little book.

I love that your videos remind me to be mindful. I’m working my way to have just linen and cotton in my fabric stash. My taste and values have changed in the past few years so I have a semi abundance of quilting cottons which I am trying to use up by giving some to friends to use and pass some on to others and by making quilts for project Linus. I put some of my tiniest linen and cotton scraps in our compost but I may start just burying them in my husband’s vegetable garden! It’ll make me feel like I’m actually feeding the little earth beings that live in my backyard ☺️ I love your idea for using grocery bags for mailers! I’ll have to remember that 👍🏼 Your aesthetic continues to inspire me 😍 with every video!

Where are you shipping from? Here in Canada we have a postal strike and currently only receiving courier parcels. Excellent idea of little books! Thanks for the link.

love this

How fun to watch a video of you preparing the scrap bundle I just received! I love them. I’ve taken a class with Emma Freeman but I didn’t know you were connected. I also buried a handmade book once - when I dug it up, every trace was gone. Honest! I guess I left it too long in the wet ground. Looking forward to using your scraps. Many thanks for your thoughtfulness and generosity.

I wonder if Emma Freeman has thought about donating some of her linen books to an autistic child. I think they would be so enriching for them to hold, feel and see each different page.

It was fun to hear my name when you were talking about people to whom you were sending orders out to.... Looking forward to receiving my order of linen scrapes. Working on a lap quilt with linen pieces so your fabric will be a nice addition to it! Merry Christmas!

The holiday hub looks terrific! So easy to navigate...well done. The linen paper is so textural...it begs to be molded into ornaments this time of year. Good luck with Fold Line, when you join up with them they're going to be very lucky.

I am learning in my own how to saw. I don't know how to clean my sawing machine. Thanks for your time to show the beauty of making hand made creations. You help me to continue learning. As a Mother is my therapy.

I use a serger foot and stitch #23 to serge on my Brother sewing machine - but watching you go so fast with your serger gives me some envy. Your work is so very lovely!

Great fun hearing that you love to think through/evaluate the past year and make plans for the coming year. And I envy the joy that seemed to radiate off you as you talked about cleaning your sewing machine and figuring out how to clean your iron...not my idea of a good time, but I wish it were. :) I haven't bought any of your patterns yet but am eyeing Ladybird which I will allow myself to purchase once I get caught up on all my current projects. I just discovered your work recently and love it. Wishing you and your family a lovely holiday and wonderful New Year.

Hi Leah, this was a great post, I really enjoyed listening to you sharing your thoughts and plans, your ups and downs, and your excitement for 2025. I have a couple of your patterns but haven't made them yet.....I will soon! I promise! I love your clothes, your patterns and your linen, and I appreciate your passion and the hard work you do in putting together these videos etc. So, all the way from Australia, have a lovely Christmas and family holiday. God bless you.

Softening linen gradually by wearing and washing is a process I discovered I love. There’s a point where I pick something up and I’m like omg. Little loves of life 🥰

You say ur patterns are set for someone 54 in … thats 4 ft 6 inches … ?? I assume u mean 64 in? Btw - u and ur clothes are fab!

Another stress-reducer: Increase your lighting, both general room lighting and task lighting. Add even more lighting. Why give yourself a headache? And PS: Leah's patterns come with very clear instructions!

Take a look at Pittsburgh's Handmade Arcade

Those are some really good tips, slowing down and breaking it up into sections gives you a sense of accomplishment before beginning the next section. I've done a lot of sewing over the years, though not much in the past 10 or so. I have a younger friend that I met at my volunteer job that wants to learn to sew, so I've had her over and we made some simple bags for another colleague's baby shower. Now I purchased your ladybird pattern for both of us to make the garment together. it will help her to have someone with some experience and it will be fun for me to share what I know, and get a great garment out of it.

Don't swear at your machine. Talk nicely to her and tell her how much you appreciate her. At least she helps you not to have to sew by hand😂

Leah, thank you for making this video - lots of good ideas!

Wonderful tips! Thanks for sharing this with us😊

Any plans to release the Lichen Button-up Shirt pattern anytime soon? I just love the look of this classic shirt!

Great info. Thank you. Taking breaks, rehydrating and maybe a snack are going to keep me from having meltdowns. lol. Also, fresh eyes and attitude with breaking tasks up, adding a day in between 😊. ❤

Oof, the nightmare thing is my thing too. A recent medication addition unexpectedly helped, and made me realize how awful the nightmares made me feel all day long and dread going to sleep. Thank you for sharing and your emotional generosity , I’ve never talked to anyone but my therapist before about this.

All great tips. Thank you!

Awesome, thank you!!

Can I ask when we can expect them in the uk?

Linen is a magical material, it increases the affinity to Manu/Mana when worn. Many wizards love it.

Hi, this is the first of your videos I have seen, and it couldn’t have hit any more marks. “Authenticity” is getting bandied about in a way that wants to wear out the meaning, and you are keeping the warp and woof tight. Cannot wait to sew the Ladybird. Wanted a project to work on with my Mom over the 2 weeks I will be how for Thanksgiving. (Who wants to work on my baby Singer when I can work on her Cadillac machine, ammirite?) I won’t go on about everything I loved, but you are nailing the previews, sharing your intentions, and sharing your experiments. One request - I would love to hear more about how you are using Chat GPT for decision making. Excited to follow your journey.

It looks so great!!! 🥰
