I'm also a big fan of Charlie Nebe and Steph Sewn! I've added a few channels to my list, thanks for your list, thank you! I'm also always looking for new creators whose work I can binge! Here are my favourites: - Bernadette Banner. I'd start with her Moraine's Dress (from The Wheel of Time) serie. It's a bit different from her usual work, which is very victorian/edwardian oriented. I also love her esthetics and her quirkiness! - Dear Tally. Also very victorian! She's living in Scotland, which is fueling my dream to spend a few years there! She made a dress inspired by Sophie Hatter, from Howl's Moving Castle, which I enjoyed a lot. - Hazariel Atelier. She's French but her videos are also in English (another proof that an accent is ok and your channel is so so enjoyable, I'm glad you didn't let that keep you from doing videos!). She went to fashion school (I think), but her channel is mainly costume and she makes me laugh a lot! - Kristine Vike. If you like calm and cosy and long informative chat, that'll be your jam! I enjoy her serie about textile history! - Lost my thread. Lots of videos where she gives details about what she's been sewing. I usually watch them while I'm sewing myself! - Shannon Makes. One of my favourites! She's from Quebec, she recently bought a house in Nova Scotia so there is a lot of renovating videos right now on her channels, but she also does a lot of craft. There's lot of talking, which I love. She's a circus artist and she sometimes shows the BTS!
Yes, it was me who recommended Steph Sewn. She is still my number one favourite channel. I love that she is so focused and knowledgeable about all sorts of sewing, not to mention stylish. My other favourite is Rachel of The French Seams coming from Dublin, so she has a lovely accent and despite having a very busy life, makes loads of stuff and is just all round nice.
Oh definitely putting her on my to watch list. I trust your judgment as you were 100% right about Steph. Also, with a name like French seams, it can only be great 😄
Oh this was so needed! I'm new into sewing-youtube 😅 so I don't know anyone you haven't mentioned sewing-wise. Regarding those cozy vibes and that style of video though, I can recommend you a few other people you might enjoy from other crafts: I think you would very much enjoy Christy Anne Jones who is an author from Australia and does these really calm vlogs (start with anything called "day/week in the life of an author", etc). Another very calm and cosy channel is called "Rewilding Jude" and he is a Brit who used to make handdyed yarns for knitting, but has recently ended that business and moved into a tiny old cottage in rural Scotland and started renovating and gardening, but yeah I'm convinced that the type pof videos he makes is right up your alley. Very fresh channel (only 3 months or so) so I'm not gonna recommend a specific video, just start from the beginning! 😅
Great video Noémie, added a few to my to watch list! Some suggestions for you: - The Dahlia Sewceity (she runs a fabric store in Aust and shows lots of fabrics and pattern releases but also makes a lot of different patterns and I’ve been loving her vlogmas where she shares all sorts of foods, places and makes) - Sew Pomona (more curating a hand sewn wardrobe but I find her videos helpful when planning my next makes) - Cornelius Quiring for a guy, he does lots of tutorials and self drafting but might be good for a look - Conversations (ABC Listen podcast, Aussie hosts with a different guest each week that has a great story, I love hearing about people with very different lives and pick up new book recommendations - start with the Lee Miller ep for a story about a photographer with a fascinating but sad life or just scroll until you see a title that looks interesting, it plays weekly on the radio and has been going for years so plenty to keep you going) Also I love your accent, it's so refreshing to hear something other than American voices! Very jealous you can speak French, you have so many more pattern brand options! xo
Thank you, it's great to find new people to follow. I really enjoy Frieda Lepold she sews incredible gowns to a couture standard, is very relaxing to watch, and shares a lot of her process. For podcasts someone recommended in the comments on a Foldline video Haptic and Hue which is all about textiles and I've found it really interesting.
Hello Noémie, I would have given you 10 likes today! Thank you for expanding my subscriptions with your recommendations. I have most of the channels but am excited to add the others. I spent several months caregiving last year on the East coast (my home is the SF Bay Area), and I added so many channels to my viewing list…maybe 50. I have since then returned home and have thinned out the list to my favorites. I enjoy highly creative, artistic and daring content. I also enjoy those that know classic, high fashion, understand the elements of couture and can sew meticulously. I will never be able to sew like them, but it gives me a peek into that world. My taste varies depending on the day 😊. Happy Holidays, Susan
Thanks for the list, I have the exact opposite in my choice of bloggers, I love tutorials, and sewing tips, my favourite is camelia sews, but also love the fold line, and secret life of a seamstress. I also watch the full back catalogue if I find someone I like. FYI my favourite blog from you is the fabric shops, I loved it, thanks for all your hard work x
Really shows that there's a type of RUclips channel for every type of viewer! ☺️ Oh yay, I really dreamed of making that video, so I'm happy you like it. My wife had to keep telling me "it's ok, you have a real RUclips channel, you can ask to interview them!". I felt like I wasn't big enough to ask for people's time. It was work, but it was really nice to do something more daring too!
Thanks for all these tips! I definitely didn't know all of them before. One podcast I've started listening to recently is Check Your Thread which is about trying to be more aware of sustainability in your sewing projects. A couple of episodes to start with would be either ep 151 where she chats with someone about what deadstock fabric really means and how there are different interpretations of the term, and episode 164 (currently the latest one) which is her chatting with two sewing friends about their sewing wins and fails in 2024. I like the topics so far, though I find the host a bit INTENSE in a very British way lol, and the sound quality in the interviews is sometimes a bit low quality in my opinion from the guest's side.
I can’t remember exactly how I came across your tube but it may have been from me binging Mia Maples and Micarag Trews… but I was subscribed from video one! You are my cosy sewing chat… interesting that you went from Love to Sew to Helens patterns whereas I went from you to the patterns to the podcast.
So funny, because they're so big in my life, I can't imagine people not knowing the podcast. I'm glad you know of them now 🙂 I love sharing the love about the creators I like!
Oh, I didn't know about the Sewing Club podcast, I'll check it out :) For me on RUclips I love Made by Cath Craft (she was my first find and other than you she's the only one I've gone back through to watch everything. She is such a gentle and warm person, recommend everything) and Sarah Naomi (I love her style and want her wardrobe). Both also knit a bit. I don't knit (yet!) but Maker Mark knits is somehow on my list... he has a really calm voice and does a few chatty videos which are easy listening (the local yarn shop tour was delightful).
Great video! It’s funny that I watch/listen all but 3 of your recommendations. I could recommend Famke from Mipi the label, Making Cassie, thread and yarn, and Retro Claude (esp. the stashbusting episodes)
Thanks for sharing your favourites! Mark Vogel has a knitting channel that I recently discovered and really enjoy watching, even though I’m not a knitter yet. He has a wonderful calm and relaxing voice that is so nice to listen to when I’m sewing or crafting. I recommend checking him out. I found him through his “knitting saved my life” video but I’ve loved his travel/yarn buying in Scotland videos.
@ yes, me too, but then it randomly started at the end of another video I was watching and I was cooking and couldn't stop it. Glad I kept it running though, he has such a calm presence on screen.
Nooo, of course we're not watching The Great British Sewing Bee from outside the UK! I most certainly wasn't watching the first half of their Christmas special last night while saving the latter half for later! I'm so glad we agree. I've actually not heard of most of your recommendations, so you've just given me all the entertainment I need through Christmas! :) WithWendy is up there with you and Pattern Scout as my favorite youtubers, though, and I love Steph Sewn and NE Knits as well. Have you listened to the podcast Articles of Interest? It's rather old (2018-2020), but you might like it! :) I'd also like to recommend Roaming Wild Rosie (on RUclips). She does sew a little, but she mainly renovates an old house in a forest in Sweden. She's Dutch, she's cozy (I think, anyway), she bikes, and she makes the most beautiful things. You should start at the first episode of both Articles of Interest and Roaming Wild Rosie, unfortunately, so I can't save you any time. 🙃
Thankyou for all the video suggestions. I thought I would know most of them, but the only one I've heard of is The Stitchery, but I don't often watch her. My favourites lean towards historic or cosplay sewing; The Closet Historian (I know you watch Bianca), Bernadette Banner, Morgan Donner (her history of hairstyles is an editing masterpiece!), Costuming Drama (vlogs), Nicole Rudolf (she has the most exquisite finish of any sewers I know), & my favourite cosplayers (who also have great sewing tips & skills) are Sarah Spaceman (Snow Miku is great if you ever need to create a beautiful contrast trim on a shaped hem), & Lizard Leigh (stunning Steven Universe transformation gown, amongst other very creative cosplays. Her specialty is inventing cosplays that aren't a specific character, but rather are the essence of a game, or are a new concept, eg. What if Pokémon's Lavender Town had a witch?).
I love the recommendations! A couple of new ones to me on your list. I watch a lot too😅. A few that I like, in case you run out 😅 (some also knit): Cath Craft So what if I Sew Baker that Sews Edible Thoughts Makes Knotty Knome Crafts Sewing Therapy (not so chatty though) The Closet Historian Sarah Naomi Rebecca Good Sewn on the Tyne Always in the Craft Room Famke Mipi the Label Ripper Seams Lost my Thread Whit makes The French Seams Justletmesew Thread and Yarn! Oh, and Rachel Bearne
I loce Rebecca Good. Such a classical style. She is really an advaced seamstres. And Fromlilyb, a lovely french women living in Spain with wonderfull taste/style. Her humor is fantastistic!
Coucou Noémie, I love your friendly, low-key videos…. And your sweet little corgi ! I already watch many of your favourite youtubers. 😉 You should check out Sarah Naomi, an American seamstress and knitter in Paris with really enjoyable themes including designing and sewing her own wedding dress, many me-mades, fabric shopping in Japan… her videos are ultra-cosy and friendly! ❤

And Shannon has a corgi it seems!!
@@LaFraiseSewsshe does! How could I forget that 😂❤
Thoughtful Creativity is so good at teaching self-drafting. I am blown away that I could make my own voice block ❤
She is great! Makes you realise all you can do!

@@LaFraiseSews I will definitely take a look of some of the people you mention too as there are some I have not seen before.
Forgot to add, if you want a man who sews, look up 'Adam Sews'. He is very sweet and makes some lovely stuff!
Nice, thanks for finding me a man 😄🥳
Oh this was so needed!

Happy holidays 🎄🌟
Thoughtful creativity is an amazing channel and I love her style of thinking and creative process ❤❤❤

For podcasts someone recommended in the comments on a Foldline video Haptic and Hue which is all about textiles and I've found it really interesting.

The podcast also looks great! Very excited for those two recommendations, thanks!

Dance costumes YES! On the to watch list!
Coucou Noémie, I love your friendly, low-key videos…. And your sweet little corgi !

I love Bianca from The Closet Historian.
Yes, she's great! She has some really good technical videos.
Just got to the end of your video where you ask for specific episodes 😅 - these are all chatty vlog style, start with recent 😊
It's alright, I'll select a few recent ones 🙂
