    Sewing can be great even when you're sad. Especially when you're sad. So don't avoid sewing when you're sad.
    In this sewing vlog I am sewing the Plumeria Top by Paradise Patterns which was kindly gifted to me by Sanna and I am talking to you about why you should still choose to have a go at sewing even when you’re sad. Especially when you're sad.
    We’re born to create. And whilst the act of creating, has so many layers of meaning to it, maybe one layer is that creating is a way to fight our battles.
    Maybe we’ve been gifted the act of creating as a way to push back darkness.
    A way to find light.
    A way to stay grounded when life feels like a storm.
    A way to be strong when everything seems to go wrong.

    For this project I used a sewing machine, scissors, rotary cutter, cutting matt, clipping shears, seam ripper, iron, pins and interfacing.
    Everything is filmed and edited by myself.
    Hope you enjoy this Sewing Vlog❣️

    About me: I’m Alexandra and I live in Oxfordshire together with my husband and our adorable daughter. I sew and make videos about it. I love creating and I want to share my progress of spending time with my craft, whether it’s sewing or other activities. I want to give you as much encouragement for your creativity and my hope is that you’ll find a lot of positivity on this channel. Lots of love, Alexandra

    Amen to that sis! I’m so glad I clicked on your video. The Holy Spirit legit knew I needed sewing inspiration and I didn’t know you’d be sharing God’s Word in it! So happy to subscribe and sew alongside you. I’ve actually just started my own business designing and sewing modest clothes for women inspired by my mum who used to sew and the Proverbs 31 woman 😊 May God provide a home that is exceedingly and abundantly above and beyond what you could imagine and may the moving process be cleansing so that you feel lighter and brighter from it. Thanks for sharing how you rejoice through tribulations. That’s what the apostle Paul reminds us to do and it’s so beautiful to see it lived out through sewing 😊♥️

    Grief is an important process, it honors the value of what we lost, whether a home or a dear sister. So grieve, with all of the truth of those feelings, but with hope. And creativity is the physical manifestation of that inner hope. I've had many moments in the last year when that is hard to remember, but the moments when I do manage to get my lips above the water and get a breathe are usually when I am doing something creative. I'd call that blouse a good job remembering to hope.

    I’ve cried almost everyday and sometimes several times a day since my mom passed away October 3, 2020. I have a little sewing room and sewing was something we had in common. I haven’t been able to really get back into sewing since she passed away. I’ve recently started organizing my sewing space in hopes that it will get me motivated. I miss her dearly and want to honor her memory with all of her patterns, fabric and sewing notions that I acquired. I’m praying that starting to sew again will help heal my heart and take away some of the pain of losing her.

    Hey i feel your sadness, its a shock to be lifted out of your home when you have just settled. You have a great up beat personality and i know you will figure it out. Things generally work out, i have had a lot of upheaval in the last few years. Involved removing a difficult tenant so I could sell my family home, which was where i raised my now grown up children. I am now very settled in my forever home these last 2 years and it has been challenging making it my own, but finally i have and i am settled with my new cat family lol and one of my sons living 5 mins walk away. Things will be good and i am sure you will love your new home when you find it. Praying for a successful transition for you and your family. Much love ❤

    I totally agree. Sewing is very therapeutic for me. I just wanted to say something I noticed. When you set your iron in the metal holder. I have this & noticed you sat it flat. It sits angled with the irons pointed end against the metal piece the protrudes down. It is safer if a child bumps it. It keeps it secure.❤

    Your philosophy is so spot on Alexandra, I totally get what you are saying. I have a tendancy to crawl under a rock and become inert when things are not going how I would like but as you say so well, why turn away from what makes you happy? I love sewing but don't do it when I am sad. I really agree with Sharon... you will find a much better house that you will love even more. It's already waiting for you. Trust in the process. Thank you so much for your beautiful energy and wise words. They really do help 🙏 And your blouse is magnificent, really beautiful! 💖👏

    These an amazingly fun thing that happens when you make your own clothes for a while. After a couple years you find that you need to mend and recut re sew your favourite garments. And it makes the small mistakes you make when sewing easier because you can fix them later and you’ll mend it later already so mending it now is fine.

    • @AlexandraBurnett

      Such wise words. Totally right. The more you sew, the better you get at it, the more courage you have to pick up something you've made and make it even better. x

    Super Glue…SO BRILLIANT! FABULOUS IDEA! Will hold for life, won’t wash out, won’t melt in dryer!!! Always press your seams…So True….A “sort of” metaphor for life… I get so mad at myself when I clip my project Argh! But…I’m pretty good at fixing disasters, which is necessary for life! My life anyway :) So there’s that. And By the way, that cute fabric looks great framing your adorable face! It is Sooooo You! YAY! My takeaway from this video is, when you feel crappy, dance, sing and pretend to be happy… I’m going to bake a cake now lol you have inspired me! I know what’s sewing, have to do with baking….I’ve No idea :)

It somehow makes me feel I need to be positive when things are down and not as expected . The positivity attract good things, the negativity will attract bad energy . Hope that this will help you :)

    I love how your top turned out it's gorgeous and that fabric definitely deserves to be worn. Love that you showed your mini me your work in progress. And that you're honest to all about emotions and life. Honestly it made me teary eyed when you talked about how creation and creativity is our saving grace in life I have clinical depression and I'm also a creative and let me tell you sewing and writing is literally what keeps me going. I love this video and how you share a little bit of your life with us in this style of video. I too feel like when I'm sad I want to see nothing good I push happy things away and I struggled thinking I didn't want to be happy and have realized sadness and fear are really just thieves(you put it so nicely with that word) and that we shouldn't let them continually steal from us. This video resonated with me, thank you.
