    Good to see you Alisa!
    I enjoyed making jeans years ago😊
    Vogue1783…. Beautiful! Reminds me of dresses I used to make by Vogue designers (Ralph Lauren, Perry Ellis) I made some Calvin Klein jeans by a Vogue pattern…. Learned so much doing those!
    Here lately I’ve been going through my mom’s stash of fabrics. So many goodies!
    Great sewing tool finds! Wow!

      Hi Cheryl! Oooh those are some exciting patterns!! Vogue has some real gems in there...
      I also love going through my fabrics and fold and unfold them and remind myself what I have in my stash! 💜💖❤️

    Your boyfriend is a keeper! So sweet he thought of you while out shopping! You have been pretty busy in the sewing department. Love the fringe on your pockets, very creative and sharp looking.

      Ha ha yes he's pretty amazing! 😘 Thank you Lynn, sometimes it takes pinning something the wrong way around by mistake to see a creative solution 💖❤️💜

    wow your jeans look lovely. I love the pressing tools, I might have to purchase some!

      Thank you Ann-Marie! They are gorgeous, aren't they?! 💛💙 And the wood smells so lovely when it gets under the steam 🥰

    I really appreciate the detail you put in your work. When my mother taught me to sew 1,000 years ago she told me "your garment needs to look as beautiful on the inside as it does on the outside" and I can tell that you believe that too. I'm rather intrigued by that bias tape, please let us know what you think after a few garments. So happy to see you!

      Your mother spoke pearls of wisdom!! I wholeheartedly agree with her 💖🥰
      The reinforced bias tape will come handy for making trousers and jackets especially. I will report back, of course 😘❤️

    I am very curious about your work day. What do you do, how do you get there, what hours do you work, what do you do for lunch, is your work stressful, what do you usually wear to work, and do you socialize with your work mates? You do beautiful work on your sewing projects and a real inspiration!

      Hi Lavada, and thank you! 🥰💖 I might film a little bit about my working week but I thought since it's not sewing related maybe it's not that interesting... 😀💜

    Fantastic jeans, really well done. Lovely pressing tools My clapper is one of my most useful tools, not as pretty as yours though.

      Thank you Maggie!! I have been using them non-stop, I love them so much!!! 💖❤️

    Your organizing and sewing always look impeccable to me. I like your ingenuity in adding fringe to outline the pockets on your jacket! Your boyfriend sounds so thoughtful. Is there a link for the lovely wooden tools? I have my eye on the pants leg and arm board. I would certainly support them!🥰💖

      Hi Karen!! Ahh thank you for your compliments! I like making things look pretty, it makes me very happy to look at them and handle them 💜💖
      With the tailor boards, look for @rfamilyua on Instagram, and drop them an email when you decide what you want. I did that, then paid by PayPal and the rest is history ❤️💜😘

    I have made the Vikisews Veronica tank top 2x and really like the cut of the tank. The problem is I bought the pattern in Russian (this was before they had the English version) and the translation for attaching the neck binding did not make sense, sooo my neckline does not look nearly as pretty as yours. If you felt like dong a short tutorial I would love it!

    • @Sloths.and.Orchids
      @Sloths.and.Orchids  2 года назад

      Hi Robin, I know what you mean! The method they use in Veronica instructions is not the usual binding method. In my last top I just doubled the width of the binding and attached it the traditional way. I think I will keep doing it as I much prefer the look 💖❤️

    The jeans look wonderful. What pattern did you use? I'm hoping to make a toile of the Mountain Jeans soon

    • @Sloths.and.Orchids
      @Sloths.and.Orchids  2 года назад

      Hi Claudia, I used Vikisews Karmina pattern, this is my second pair, and most definitely not the last one...
      The beauty of finding"the" jeans pattern is that you can repeat it once you perfect the fit the first time around. Good luck with the Mountain jeans!! 💖❤️

    Those tailoring pressing blocks look amazing! I can't seem to find anywhere to order from via their instagram, is it due to the war (I would expect that), or is there a different website to try? I'd really like to support artisans!

      Hi Belinda! I just dropped them a message with the screen shots of what I wanted and they came back with the pricing etc. There's also a folder with the prices on their Instagram so maybe check it out before you make a decision. Just keep in mind that the delivery will take longer than usual... So worth it though 😘😘😘
