    So excited for you new direction. I firmly believe that when creators do what they love instead of what they feel obligated to do only good comes from it. I similarly moved my channel direction a bit a year or so ago and the numbers were hard for awhile but I at least love everything I do now.

    Giant hugs… I have never been a grand success in my you tube channel but I totally went through this I made a lot of videos over the years and I have chased that view count. I’ve dealt with depression chronic illness and loss. So much love Jen I do get you. I’m am so sorry about all the loss in your life. We lost our cat Percy to a very fast cancer and after that I didn’t film for a long time and still only do sporadically. I started focusing on doing only what I wanted to do say or film at the time I can relate and I want to give you a giant hug and tell you that I’m here for you and whatever you want to share with us

    Yes, I totally agree about your statement regarding our relationship! It makes sense to me. You're like having the best sister ever! I, for one, am grateful for the community you are gathering together. I've never met you yet feel the care and support of this strangely distant yet present 'family'.
    As such, there was a sense that something was not well for you. While being in dark places is never pleasant the reflection on life that it causes can be a good thing. May you continue to grow in strength, stamina, and wellbeing. Wish I could call in for a cuppa and a chat, but the commute from Australia is a bit too far! I think we should all have a pyjama day together!

    Having lost both of my parents, it does change you. I also lost a pet just before Christmas in 2011. Depression and other mental health disorders can take over your life. I always promote getting help. I was diagnosed with PTSD due to dealing with a loved one and their drug addiction, I sought help and so glad I did. The loved one got help and has their addiction sorted, and I have learned how to manage the PTSD. Hugs to your for your loss and look forward to your new channel vision

    Literally just found you and have been binge watching your videos, I found you through a pattern I wanted to get a review/tutorial on. I’ve found that patterns with the number + the name have HUGE hits for vintage/reproductions because no one really does them but when they do it seems like the view counts are pretty good.
    I subscribed for a totally different reason, you’re*real* - it’s annoying to watch videos of people who seem so plastic and push brands, products, ideologies, because for whatever reason it seems like *everyone got the same memo at the SAME time* and it’s all you hear across soooooo many channels. I LOVE that you’re interests are varied and still manage to have a cohesive theme through your channel.
    It’s so hard to find a real one on YT and I feel like I’ve found a gem! I have shared your channel with errrrrybody I know ❤ but want to say always remember YOU are the most important thing and your health and well being is number one. Big hugs 🤗 and keep doing you!

    Its good to see you back! Like you say, grief is such a weird thing and the world has been so strange, its hard not to let it drag you down sometimes. I am so glad to hear there are going to be more lives, I really enjoyed them. They were one of the inspirations behind me thinking about doing one (hopefully in a couple weeks, eek!). I started doing youtube last year and then grief and sickness got me so down. I have been back at it the last few months and it has been really invigorating and has gotten me inspired to sew. I hope it helps you in the same way.

    So nice to see you again! I think the new content will be awesome! I'm so sorry for your losses, I can definitely relate to the grief and depression, I've been battling it since my teens which it's safe to say seems to be a lifetime ago. I lost my mother in 2012 and my father 2 years ago. I recently found out from my Aunt that the anxiety that I also struggle with has been consistently in our family! Who knew! 😆 Anyway, I know what it means all too well to be in that deep dark place! It's scary to be there, I recently over the summer went and sought help. It's so important to recognize when we need an extra hand. Needless to say, I'm a huge advocate for mental health, and we all need to take time for ourselves no matter how long that is and it's never fair to ourselves to compare ourselves to others. I'm learning all this as I go along in life. Sorry for the book I typed. Lol! But I truly wish you peace and success! Never forget that you're surrounded by people who love you. Thank you for sharing.

    I'm so sorry to hear that you've suffered so much loss in what sounds like such a short period of time. I think that grieving is an ever evolving process. I've found for myself that while I never stop missing the people or pets that I've lost eventually those losses get integrated into my psyche and it gets easier. It's okay to not be okay, but it's also okay to be okay even in the midst of grieving. Watching a fun sitcom or movie or hanging out with a friend, etc. can still bring some joy into your life even when you're suffering. Sometimes distraction can bring a helpful perspective that reminds us that life can be good and that the possibilities for healing are out there.
    I've really enjoyed your videos over the years and you've taught me so much about how to do vintage hairstyles. I'm still going to be looking at those videos so I'm glad they're not disappearing entirely. With the pandemic I kind of lost track of this part of my life. I've recantly learned to embrace and style my natural curls which honestly is just as much work and requires just as much product so I might as well start throwing my hair into rollers again, right? :)
    I'll be looking forward to seeing the changes you'll be implementing! In the meantime, be gentle with yourself. We're rooting for you.
    Also, if I ever make it back to Chicago I'm taking that tour - I'm betting it rocks like Motorhead.

    So happy to see you. I subbed while you were on hiatus due to a Stephanie Canada video. The only s word for fashion I could come up with was Style but that can be taken so many ways.
    Also really excited to hear the stories. I used to live in South Bend, IN so only 2 hours (by train) from Chicago. Loved going there on weekends. Also relaunch is the weekend after my birthday! Happy Birthday to me!
    I assumed you were unstitching tulle.

      Thank you! ❤️ We love Stephanie around these parts! Style is purrfect!! That means we're practically neighbors. ❤️❤️❤️ Honestly unpicking tulle (or chiffon) gives me nightmares. lol

    Hey Jen, I'm so happy to see you back on here! Your plans for the new direction of the channel sound super exciting and I don't mind the wait. I've noticed this year that sometimes two months are over in the blink of an eye. Also sending you the strength you still need to keep going through grief and depression. It's become a bit of a commonplace saying but I definitely mean it: We're all in this together.

    I just subscribed to your channel today. I was watching the video you did with Stephanie Canada with the mystery sewing box and enjoyed it very much so I came on over to see your channel. I'm very glad you are climbing out of that dark hole of depression and seeing some light. It's a tough journey and I've been there myself and it can be a very dangerous journey. Do what you love, don't look at the numbers, just do what you love. It shows through. Thanks for sharing and I'll see you in February!

    I like the sound of your new channel aims; I will watch many of them. You do good work, please don't get carried away looking at the numbers again.

    I’m so glad to hear you decided to continue because you love it and to make the channel something you feel passionate about. I was recommended a book called the Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron when I was really struggling with my mental health and lost my passion for music and RUclips. It basically teaches creatives to find the joy in creating again with a bunch of exercises and activities. Highly recommend. Looking forward to your future content. 💖

    What an interesting story, I had never heard about it before.
    Jimmy Stewart is one of my favourite actors. I read somewhere in an interview with him, he said that when he needed to show distress or grief in a movie, he would think of all the young men who were lost in his squadron during the war. 😢

    • @JenniferElise

    I used to watch you years ago, you taught me how to do pinup hairstyles during a brief tiptoe into it. (Gosh, like...2011? 2012? polka dot background. I don't even remember what account name I was under) Then I got kinda lost for a few years, depressed, moved, had some stuff happened...
    The last few weeks I've been trying to feel good about myself again, been getting back into vintage styles and fashion again, sitting here trying to remember how to do a pin roll, frustrated, and your voice popped into my head.
    You changed your channel name! You look amazing! oh my gosh!

    It’s been awhile, but I saw your face show up on RUclips and had to check it out! I’m so so sorry for all of your losses, but love and appreciate your openness about everything. I’ve also been having, uh, relationship issues with the creative process, so I resonated with that for sure. I’ve started working it out in therapy, too. Anyway, just wanted to say it made me really happy to see you again!

I lost my mom 1 1/2 years ago and even though she lived a long life I don’t think you are ever prepared. I think you are so right, sometimes we have those days that are pajama days 😉. I just subscribed to your channel on my phone and look forward to everything & anything you want to show us. Thank you!!!!!

    I'm so sorry for your loss. It's hard losing a parent. Not being is okay for a season, but you are right. It is no place to camp out or live. You have to press on and live. It's what your mama would have wanted for you. Blessings, my friend, as you move through this season.
