very interesting, Thanks :)
Glad you enjoyed it Nancy!
Thank you for this informative video 👏. I am a Blue lady at heart and I also like green 😊😊. Happy Thanksgiving 🦃🦃❤
My two favorite colors! Glad you enjoyed the video. Happy Thanksgiving!
Love this video! You explain it so well! My favourite colour is yellow - the warmer shades. I tend to always gravitate towards the warmer colours. I only wear black to evening business events or funerals. Blue, for me, is the colour I wear when I have a meeting with the bank :-) But having seen your video, I think I'll try to incorporate more blue in my daily wardrobe.
Thanks so much! Love hearing your color thoughts. I think the trick with any color is to find the shade or tone that works for you.
Loved your video! Thank you for sharing your favorite color books. Have a Great Thanksgiving!❤
Thanks so much Eileen! Happy Thanksgiving to you too!
Super intéressant. Merci
Thanks so much! Happy sewing!
I love this idea. I really resonated with the 'can't decide what to wear and eventually end up wearing the same outfits' over and over. I do have to mention you are pronouncing the word taupe incorrectly.
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for the correction. Happy sewing!
@@SewPomona I can't wait for the visit to my fabric shop! 😁
Great advice.
Thanks Milly!
Love the idea of a daily uniform. Do you use a coverstitch machine for the knits?
I do often use a coverstitch for finishing my knits. Thanks for watching!
This is a fantastic video . Gave me much food for thought for my sewing and wardrobe planning. Thanks for sharing your expertise and your beautiful handmade pieces.
Thanks so much! I'm glad it was helpful! Happy sewing!
I would like to recommend more books but that might send anyone down the rabbit hole.....There are some very good books out there waiting to be discovered. I am a metric girl but I use books like Armstrong's for reference. It is a great book and every time a new edition comes out, I have to get it.
I was looking at pattern making books and I like reading the feedbacks too. That second book did not come highly recommended so I went straight to Harumi Maruyama books for something different. Skipping that book wasn't too hard for me because I think I have all the pattern making books ever printed or close to.......😀just joking....
There are so many great pattern making book! I agree! I did add that Sarah Alm one because I think it’s very focused on home sewists and a bit more approachable if you’re used to using sewing patterns. It has some great fitting tips and adjustments too. Feel free to add any book suggestions to the comments! I’d love to hear your recommendations. Happy sewing!
Love this video! I’d say what helped me a lot in defining a good colour palette is learning about seasonal colour analysis. Once I figured I’m a true autumn it gave me a lot of confidence in narrowing down on “my colours”. Even my wardrobe looks more cohesive at a glance. Always look forward to your videos. Please do one on building a wardrobe for hot weather (I’m a Londoner in TX😅)
Thanks so much! Knowing your best colors really makes it so much easier to plan your wardrobe! I will definitely do a video for hot weather dressing when summer rolls back around! Happy sewing!
Great ideas! I really appreciate the Pinterest boards to help break down the style types. I struggle with identifying my style so this is super helpful. Thanks for all the work!
I'm so glad it was helpful! Happy sewing!
Great informative video, thanks
Glad you enjoyed it! Happy sewing!
I do this same thing. I have made many of my garments from the same pattern but in different tones and fabrics so I can guarantee my comfort and fit.
Love it! Thanks for watching!
Makes look great! I love the turquoise too!
Thanks so much! Appreciate it!
I love how in depth you get into inspiration. Thank you for sharing your Pinterest board. Your videos always motivate me for sewing!
I'm so glad you find the videos motivating Kendra! Happy sewing!
I love your color palette! Thanks for sharing your personal uniform, it was really fun to see how you can get so many variations with your basics.
Thanks so much! Planning out my colors is always my favorite part.
Great video! Thank you.
I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
Very helpful!
Glad you found it helpful! Happy sewing!
Thank you for this video! I'm going through my wardrobe now and also pull my patterns to develop my style. I really like how you pulled things together.
That’s awesome! I hope you have fun with the process! Happy sewing!
This was really inspiring! Thanks🥰
Thanks so much!
Great video!! Thank you 😁, Karen
Thanks so much Karen! Happy sewing!
I love this, the hardest part for me is narrowing down the accent colors 😅
I totally get that. I try to go narrow when I start and then add in more as I go. You can do a very broad color palette- just try to keep the colors cohesive. Happy sewing!
Very helpful information and a great launching plan.❤
Thanks so much Trudy! I hope it helps!
I love the idea of making multiples of basic patterns that fit well. It seems like it would be so easy to build from there. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks so much Donna! I wish I had started doing this earlier! It really simplifies your sewing and ensures a great fit.
very informative!! i'm just getting started and the pinterest boards & this video really help ❤
I'm so glad the video was helpful! Happy sewing!
Rebecca beautiful fabric!! Cannot wait to see that beautiful fabric

Quero só ver ela de bikini pra ver como fica
Hi Rebecca, Thank you so much for your kind words, you really made my day, and I am so glad that I inspired you to create some art yourself!!
Thanks Kathleen! It was such a fantastic talk- and just the push I needed to get back into my art practice! I really enjoyed your presentation!
Se é uns bikini com ela
Sorry- I'm not sure I understand what your saying-maybe it's a translation error?
Rebecca, about the CB of the crotch curve, should be 1" down from the hip line? on pant, we are using such in a way to reduce the shrinkage.
I'm not quite sure if I understand what you're asking. Can you clarify?
Wow! You’re going to be so busy! Also, congratulations!🎉 on the job.
It's going to be a busy but exciting year! Thanks so much!
Rebecca, thank you for sharing. Do you have a standard measurement of Legging form size 4/girl-kids/ to Plus Size(the maximum) one please?
Hi! I think I replied to you about this a few days ago? This a draft your own pattern based on your personal measurements. If you are looking for a sewing pattern I'd suggest Jalie Patterns. They have some great leggings patterns that are multi-sized. Hope that helps.
Congratulations on the job Rebecca. That sounds like a dream. Hope it goes well.
Thank you so much!
Congratulations on your new job. It sounds really interesting. Great podcast, Thank you
Thank you so much!
I’m so happy to hear about your new job Rebecca. Congratulations! 👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you so much Wendy! I'm really excited about it!
Congratulations on the new job! I have been watching a bunch of your videos lately, and I know you have been working hard on landing something. I am excited to see the natural dye videos. Happy sewing!
Thanks so much! I’m glad you’re enjoying the channel! Happy sewing!
❤❤❤ love the outfit today! I want one in that exact color combo 😂. Congratulations on the job. Sounds like a great fit!😊
Thanks so much! This is definitely my happy color!
Great dress and congrats on the new job! I'm looking forward to the finding your uniform video, perfect timing for me as I'm trying to work out some new go to looks for summer here in Australia where its hot outside but the air con is blasting at work. I found your summer layering video yesterday too, very inspiring I love that wrap cardi.
Thanks so much! I'm glad the layering video was helpful- I hope the uniform video gives you some good ideas!
Congrats! That’s fantastic. I saw the Chiluly??? Glass art install at the Phoenix Art Museum.
Thanks Lisa! His glass work is so amazing!
Congratulations on the job, and I'm looking forward to more of your videos!
Thanks so much! Happy sewing!
Congratulations on your new job. Hope you really enjoy it.
Thanks Bernadette! I’m looking forward to it!
Hi Rebecca, Love your outfits. I often leave hems unfinished - it really enhances the fall of a jersey/ bamboo/modal garment. BTW I did my second Masters in my 60s - so it goes to show one is never too old. You will shine in your new job - congratulations and well done you. Re the stains in the re purposed pants - I think you will need to try a very very diluted bleach mix with water or stain remover prior to dying otherwise the stains will look darker in the finished garment. With love Francesca❤
Thanks so much Francesca! That’s reassuring- Well done on the Masters! Thanks for the tip for the stain removal. I’ll definitely try that. Hope you’re having a fantastic weekend!
Congratulations on the new job. It sounds like something really creative and fun. I love the outfit you made and think that is totally wearable and beautiful for all sorts of occasions. I used to do a lot of dyeing of cotton fabrics for quilting and really miss it. Looking forward to what you will be doing with your dye plans.
Thanks so much Ami! I can’t wait to start! I’m really looking to get back into some of my favorite crafts. Hope you’re having a great weekend!
Beautiful outfit! Congrats on the new job. Looking forward to the upcoming videos.
Thanks so much Marie!
Congratulations on your new job! That’s wonderful to hear 👌😍❤️
Thanks Julie! I’m really excited! I start Monday!
Congratulations on the job. Looking forward to hearing and seeing all about your natural dyeing process.
Thank you Joh! I'm excited to share the process.
Great news on the new job! you have work hard for it and love that it will go well with your life and study! Great work and well done 👏👏
Thanks so much for the kind words Helen! I really appreciate it! Happy sewing!
I was 48 when I went back from my degree also! You will finish before you know it!
