    I love your point about overconsumption. If you’d painted 85 paintings this year, or made 85 clay sculptures this year, artists would be quick to cheer you on! Sewing is art too, and I’m cheering you on for this!

      Exactly. People need to find a better cause than to tell a sewing person to cut back on her fabric use. 😂

    My only suggestion is keep the pictures up the whole time you talk about it 😅 I like to stare while I hear the thoughts/backstory on it 😊

    You have such a talent for taking what to me look like boring patterns and transforming them into gorgeous, stunning, and vivacious pieces of clothing. I love your fabric choices. You’re such a delight to watch and listen to talk about sewing. Happy New Year 2024!

    0:52 WHAT? Girl you are amazing. Do you know how this could change my entire relatioship to fast fashion? That is so skilled, so respectful of people's lives and labor. In India a entire building collapsed on top of people sewing our clothes. As a consumer I have to live with that on my head for the rest of my life. Sewing your own clothes means that maybe one less person is giving these murderous companies money. I'm so inspired by you and so proud of a woman of color doing this. Hold on bc I need to get to my machine! Thank you.

    I am so sorry that you felt you needed to justify your number of makes. First, this is a sewing channel. On sewing channels your viewers (like me) expect to sew, hear, learn about sewing. What is a sewing channel without sewing content? You are doing an awesome job. You are improving yourself, meeting your goals and taking us along with you. Thank you for sharing yourself, and your talent with us.

    Girl you were BUSY! I totally get what you mean about the full bust alts, they really make all the difference. We are not one size - even a straight size in a pattern is still going to need alterations to fit our individual needs - proportion is everything! Such a treat to see all of your work from 2023, to more sewing fun in the new year!

    • @RavenMaureen
      @RavenMaureen  8 месяцев назад

      Thank you so much - and you're so spot on! Even the best patterns need a tweak here and there.

    What about if you dyed your half zip. This was such a great roundup and gave me some ideas for my 2024 sewing plans. ❤

    Wow...85 makes! I made 24 items and was wondering when did I have the time for those😅. I think I'll focus more on learning and creating proper slopers for myself and hubby, and start pattern making. I truly enjoy following you...keep it going.
    2024 Let's Go!!

    • @RavenMaureen

    I love that this year has been a journey for you into your sewing mastery. I feel like this year has done the same for me.
    Also, living in the Deep South (I’m from Atlanta but currently live in Virginia) is a different experience when it comes to seasons!
    I have had to adjust my garments as well and having increased my skills, I feel better prepared to make adjustments to my makes.

    • @RavenMaureen

    Please leave the pictures of the garments up while you are talking about them. They flashed too quickly. Was not able to get a good look at them unless I paused the video. Just a suggestion.

    Back in the comments again... 5:49 It's really not. The only reason you think that is bc the color is soft rose pink. Had it been fuchsia or magenta or a even a turquoise, that would make you disabuse yourself from that notion!
