Don't worry about not putting up a video or not doing all the vlogmas videos. You have to have time to spend with family and friends. Vlogmas videos take up a lot of your time. I imagine it would slow down your sewing. I enjoyed this video. I am currently making two tablecloths for my son's kitchen table. After that I am going to start making a caftan. Last night I started loading my patterns into Trello. This will be a fast way of looking through my patterns. Keep sewing.
Hi Vanessa! You are so generous to make tablecloths for your son! Which caftan pattern are you making?? I LOVE having my patterns in Trello. I need to go through and make sure I am up to date :). HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
Hi Michelle, so happy to see you. If you think about it you sort of did a Vlogmas in September. That's a lot of posting. No wonder December was a bit much. The jacket you made for your sister in law turned out great. So pretty. I love your planner. The pages look simple to fill in and very doable. I am so happy that you found some great friends nearby and it's awesome that they sew as well. I moved just before Covid so I am still working on finding friends that sew. It's nice to have this sewing community online. I kind of feel like you all are my new friends. I can't wait to see your new makes in the coming year. Enjoy and thanks for sharing.
Hi Carol - yes, I did kind of do a vlogmas in Sept haha! I'm lucky that I have my sewing friends so close! I wonder if you check with your local fabric shop, maybe they have some get togethers?? Or even your local library?? Good luck finding some local sewing buddies !! Thanks so much for watching and joining in the conversation!!
Hi Michelle, I love your fabric choices! Bold and beautiful. We had a quiet holiday too, and it was lovely. Ok. We have the same day to day uniform. I can’t imagine anything else. Lol. I also have a cricut that I bought with my son, and I have NEVER used it. I had good intentions. Maybe you will inspire me. Happy New Year! Hugs, Stephanie ❤
Yes we do have the same day to day uniform! Except you prefer knit tops and I prefer woven, otherwise - the SAME! Oh my gosh - I think you would do such amazing things with a Cricut! I hope you get it out and play with it soon!! Happy New Year Stephanie 😊
I’m always glad when you put out a video. I like that you are human. We all make plans that don’t always work out. I’m cutting out a Seamwork Lisa sweater.
Hi Lori! I have that Lisa sweater pattern as well. It's very similar to the Marlow Sweater that everyone makes. I can't wait to hear what you think about it!!
Happy New Year Michelle! Love the jacket for your sister! The neck warmers are beautiful. I have a Cricut Maker & need to learn to use it more. Would love to see your Cricut ideas. Beautiful sewing journal.
Happy New Year🎉🎉Missed your smiling face in December but TOTALLY understandable. I also failed on my make 9. I have decided to change it up and keep a white board with project ideas. Easy to update 🤣 when I tire of something. Wishing the three of you a healthy and happy 2023. 🎇🎆🧵🪡📍
i have a cricut (and a silhouette) but i've never tried drawing with it, just cutting my own planner stickers. i love that you shared a little of your journal with us.
Which machine do you prefer? I have been playing around with making cards as well. I want to make my husband some fun graphic tees. I already have 2 new makes to add to the journal for 2023. I've discovered that using cardstock makes the book really THICK! I'm going to switch to regular paper for this year to keep the bulk down.
@@MichelleSewsAgain i prefer the silhouette but it was my first machine so i might just be more familiar with it. i didn't really like the cricut software. if you are putting tip-ins in a bound book it can definitely get wonky pretty quickly. last year i was pasting regular printer paper calendars in my B6 stalogy and even that got a bit thick by the end of the year.
I will be excited to see what you’re making on your Circuit. I’m feel good about the things I made in 2022 because I’m wearing them most days now. Tops are my favorite thing to sew . I want to figure out an easy way to take pictures of myself wearing them and how to post them. I just finished my first flannel Shirt/jacket after following a sew along . I think it’s wonderful that you live so close the Carmen and Jen. The sewing community has helped me feel more connected to people . I’ve love learning new things, being creative. Love your channel
That's awesome that you've been wearing your makes! I'm hit or miss with mine. I tend to wear the same ones over and over...so I'm using that knowledge to help plan out my makes for this year 😊. Amazon has a tripod selfie stick that is fairly inexpensive. It makes it really easy to take hands free selfies for posting on IG. Here's a link to one if you're interested - amzn.to/3Iiywm1. Living close to other sewing friends is the BEST!!
Thanks for posting! I always consider your posts like a gift through youtube - I don't expect them... I certainly wouldn't demand them... but I smile when they show up. I don't do resolutions or promises for New Year's - years ago I switched to "things I'd like to accomplish in the new year" and that way if I don't... I don't... and I've been pleasantly surprised how much I have gotten done. Why did I think Jen lived on the other side, by the Atlantic? It's so nice you guys were able to get together. Our Christmas here near Tampa was freezing, literally... brrrr! I broke my toe (it's getting better) and my husband and I (and a daughter) got horrid colds... but other than that it was lovely! Waving hi
Oh gosh Diane - you are too kind!! Our Christmas was freezing as well! In the 30s. It was the coldest in decades I think they said. Oh no! A broken toe is no joke - I hope it heals quickly!! I hope you are feeling better soon xo
I agree, buying fabric because it's on sale isn't practical! I love your fur faux jacket, absolutely gorgeous! Beautiful scarves. I'm in love with the luxe fleece. I haven't sewn with it yet. But I've handled it in stores and it's absolutely amazing! Thanks for sharing!
Welcome back great to see you hope you had a great Christmas love watching you all you guys on you inspire me with great ideas love it find your tribe Happy New Year I'm sure its going to be amazing 🤗
It was so lovely to see you again!! I got a Cricut Maker for Christmas and I’ve been trying to learn how to use it so whatever you want to share on your channel, I’m here for it!! Love your makes and that “Trish” fabric is beautiful. Cannot wait to see the finished top. 💞
Ooh the Cricut is addictive once you get started. I've had mine for a couple of years but didn't spend much time with it until now. Now I'm on a roll!!
It is so much fun! I've had my machine for about 2 years but haven't really played with it much until now. I can't believe I waited so long! I hope you have a wonderful new year Kennethia!
Welcome back! Happy 2023! I was looking for videos by you and didn’t find any, rewatched one of your first Vlogmas’s and realized you probably ran out of time, energy, etc. no worries about not following through….it’s called Life! 😊❤. Glad you had the treat of spending the holidays with your hubby. Hopefully you’ll make new friends when the house is done and your settled in. Can’t wait to see the fabric from Trish made up. It reminds me of some quilting cottons I bought to make dresses with….still in the planning stages.😁. I’m not sure if I’ll be down to fl again this spring… maybe the end of feb, beginning of March. I’ll holler if I’m in your neck of the woods. Looking forward to more content… have a great year! Good to see you again
Hi Mary Ellen! Happy 2023 😊 I'm hoping we make some friends in our new neighborhood as well. My fingers are crossed that we at least LIKE out neighbors haha! Definitely holler if you're back in the area! I would love to catch up over coffee again!!
Hi Michelle! Nice to see your having fun in the sun! I think your journal is a greta idea. I have yet to get my Cricket Maker out, thanks for the inspiration. The neck warmies are fab!! I have a niece in New York that these would be perfect for. ALso, thanks for the dibbs on the Bellbird top from The sewing Revival. Miss you and see you in March.
Lovely to see you back and a Happy New Year! 🎉. That Molly Jacket looks stunning, really professional, look at that lining 😍. You are so kind as to make all those neck warmers for people they looks sumptuous! it is nice to make things for people but just once in a while eh?! Yay, my Sew Purple project 👏🏼. Can't wait to see that, I'll have to wear mine in celebration when I see it. 😂. That fabric from Trish is beautiful and I love the sleeve design on that top that you will make with it. ❤. Take it easy on yourself this year, you are going to be busy with the new house don't forget 🤞🏼🏡 xx
Hi Carole! I love the Molly Jacket - it's actually reversible so you can wear it either way. I finished my tee - I'll do a video on it this week!! You are so right - the new house is going to keep me kinda busy for a little bit. I'm not going to overcommit myself this year 🤣. I am looking forward to seeing you in March!
You inspire me, also! Can’t wait to see you in March! I love your hair color! That jacket is fab, and your SiL will love it! I love my scarf and the recipients will love theirs, and the neck warmers, too! Makers Gonna Learn is my fave Cricut RUclips channel! So glad you were able to spend time with Jen and Carmen! Great job with the sewing journal! 💜
You’re smart to hang out with folks that inspire you. Everyone should be so lucky. Oh, and I think vlogmas sucks the life out of most . . . So post at your own pace and your work will best reflect your creativity . Happy New Year and thanks for sharing your work.
You made me laugh out loud - vlogmas can be draining for sure! I had fun with it last year but this year I guess I just wasn't in the right headspace for it! Happy New Year Barbara! Thanks so much for all your support and encouragement this year 😊💕
When you showed the gorgeous fabric from Trish, my first thought it’s perfect for the Bellbrook top. It’s interesting to me how well I get to know sewing RUclipsr’s yet they don’t know me at all. I really enjoy your channel.
I know exactly what you mean Sibyll! I feel like I know so many RUclipsr's that I've never met! That's what I love about the sewing community - it feels like a real community!! I'm so glad you're enjoying my videos!!
You had quite The Year on many fronts…wishing you health, happiness and maybe some new friends near your new house this year. I have had guests in my craft room for the past week (and had to adjust it the week before to make room) so I am looking forward to getting back in there soon to make some new tops, too. I am taking the time before that, though, to reorganize. We moved to Melbourne FL mid year and I haven’t spent the time to put that room in order, so it’s long overdue. My focus and make nine are centered around new COLORFUL tops for FL…most of what I own served me well in NJ where dark colors suited fall and winter. Maybe not as colorful as suits you, but I need to edge out of my comfort zone. I also want some new exercise clothes to encourage me to get into some new routines. I grew up as an outdoor kid but lost that with the places we’ve lived, so have to get back in the habit of moving outside…and inside! Looking forward to what you get up to this year…thanks for sharing! Chris in Melbourne FL
Hi Chris! Wishing you health and happiness in the new year as well!! I hope you have fun getting back into your craft room 😊 Do you have an Instagram account? I'd love to see your new colorful tops!!
You definitely inspire me! Love the journal idea! The jacket for your sister is beautiful! I always love the fabrics you choose. I love colors too!!! Be careful not to put so much stress on yourself. I am always amazed how much you accomplish in a week’s time. 😊
Nice to see you are back after what sounds like some enjoyable R & R 🙂 I don’t have a Circut, but I have a Silhouette machine, and used it to make a few wine bottle gift bags for Christmas. (Followed Jennifer Maker’s tutorial) I love using drop cloth fabric for lots of crafty sewing: pillows, bags, etc 👍🏻 I’d add a pic, but I don’t see how to do that in comments 🙂
Hi Michelle and happy 2023 to you. I don't know how a cricket would in any way enhance my sewing - can you show one or 2 pics of inspiration that made you interested in this as a sewist as you did with your ice dying? Next, can you tell us what job you have or what industry at least cause your picks for work wear would make more sense? And finally when you were considering your 2023 makes, will you also talk about your plans for your channel this year as the numerous challenges that come up through our community will either enhance or derail our sewing for the year and how you are going to handle that? There's so much out there that it causes chaos in me if I can't plan around what's coming up. So what are you going to collaborate on or organize on your channel this year if you know? Thanks for all your efforts in doing this, I look forward to watching!
Hi Barbara! Happy 2023 to you as well 😀. Thanks for all your questions! I am working on a 2023 "plans" video that I will post soon. You've given me some great questions to answer that I hadn't considered!!
Happy New Year! I got a Cricut Explore Air 2 for Christmas and can't wait to watch more videos on it. I will be looking for suggestions. I have been holding back working with it till I finish my Christmas gifts and things that I need to complete. I was inspired by your ice dying and have tried it a couple of times on grandchildren clothes. Now I need to try it on some things for me!
How fun! I think you are going to have so much fun with your Cricut! Find some good YT'ers and you will be so inspired!! I'm so excited that you've tried ice dyeing!! Isn't it a fun way to explore your creativity??
Your makes journal has inspired me to do something similar to document my makes. Catching up with you and Jen was wonderful! Looking forward to 2023. The best is yet to come!
The makes journal is going to be something I keep up I think. I love being able to flip through and see what I've made and also to have the "notes" handy at a glance if I want to make something again! HAPPY NEW YEAR DEAR FRIEND!!
Love your journal template, looks great! WIll you share your finished journal, would love to see how it turns out! Our Christmas and New Years were lowkey, spent with family just chillin.
You inspire me. I'm inspired to get a Cricut now! And I'm inspired to think about what I really want to accomplish this year. Can't wait to see what you make from that ITY - it's SOOOOO drapey, it'll look fantastic whatever you make. Love you! xoxoxox
I can't even begin to imagine how creative YOU will be if you get a Cricut! I can't wait to use that ITY - it's going to make such a fun springy/summery top! Love you back!! xo
I love your journal idea! You will enjoy flipping through that for years to come. Im excited to see your fabric that I gave you, transformed into something beautiful. I’m so jelly that you got to have lunch with the girls. I’m really looking forward to us all getting together for the expo.
I love my journal so much! I already have 2 new things to add!! I'm looking forward to the expo as well but we're planning a trip to Mood in Miami, maybe Feb? So I hope to see you then??
What a beautiful story about your luncheon with Jen and Carmen on how they’ve been a positive influence for you. They are both beautiful and positive ladies, and I personally know what it’s like to have friends who are positive in my life as well it’s awesome, and I feel so blessed. I totally love your recent makes. Especially the scarfs, and neck warmers. 👍👍can’t wait to see what’s in store for 2023! 🎉😊 Happy New Year!
Happy new year 🎉 vlogmas is hard on precious time before Christmas. . Even for subscribers to watch. I chose not to follow any vlogmas this year. Maybe extend the Friday sews in December to a weekly Christmas edition.🤔

Welcome back and Happy New Year!
Thanks so much Pamela! Happy New Year!!
You definitely inspire me! Love the journal idea! The jacket for your sister is beautiful! I always love the fabrics you choose. I love colors too!!! Be careful not to put so much stress on yourself. I am always amazed how much you accomplish in a week’s time. 😊
I am loving the journal - I've already made 2 things in 2023 that I need to add!!

I like watching Becca and Rachel from Oak & Lamb on RUclips and they have a website. They also do lives.
Thanks for the tip! I'll go check them out 😊
Fun to pick up a new hobby.
Definitely 😊. Helps to fill the creative time when you aren't feeling like sewing!
Happy New Year! I got a Cricut Explore Air 2 for Christmas and can't wait to watch more videos on it. I will be looking for suggestions. I have been holding back working with it till I finish my Christmas gifts and things that I need to complete. I was inspired by your ice dying and have tried it a couple of times on grandchildren clothes. Now I need to try it on some things for me!
How fun! I think you are going to have so much fun with your Cricut! Find some good YT'ers and you will be so inspired!! I'm so excited that you've tried ice dyeing!! Isn't it a fun way to explore your creativity??
Love your journal
Thank you!! It was very satisfying to put together!!
💜💜💜
Your makes journal has inspired me to do something similar to document my makes. Catching up with you and Jen was wonderful! Looking forward to 2023. The best is yet to come!
The makes journal is going to be something I keep up I think. I love being able to flip through and see what I've made and also to have the "notes" handy at a glance if I want to make something again! HAPPY NEW YEAR DEAR FRIEND!!
Yay, you’re back!! I missed seeing you and hearing about sewing, crafts, and life. Happy New Year!
Happy new year!! 😊😊😊
Love your journal template, looks great! WIll you share your finished journal, would love to see how it turns out! Our Christmas and New Years were lowkey, spent with family just chillin.
Yes, I will definitely share the journal once I finish getting everything in there! Lowkey holidays are the best, aren't they?
You inspire me. I'm inspired to get a Cricut now! And I'm inspired to think about what I really want to accomplish this year. Can't wait to see what you make from that ITY - it's SOOOOO drapey, it'll look fantastic whatever you make. Love you! xoxoxox
I can't even begin to imagine how creative YOU will be if you get a Cricut! I can't wait to use that ITY - it's going to make such a fun springy/summery top! Love you back!! xo
I love your journal idea! You will enjoy flipping through that for years to come. Im excited to see your fabric that I gave you, transformed into something beautiful. I’m so jelly that you got to have lunch with the girls. I’m really looking forward to us all getting together for the expo.
I love my journal so much! I already have 2 new things to add!! I'm looking forward to the expo as well but we're planning a trip to Mood in Miami, maybe Feb? So I hope to see you then??
@@MichelleSewsAgain would Love to go to mood!!!

Too many fireworks 🎇 this past New Years
Aww, that's a shame. I don't feel like we saw enough! They were all so far away from us I was bummed 🤷♀️
What a beautiful story about your luncheon with Jen and Carmen on how they’ve been a positive influence for you. They are both beautiful and positive ladies, and I personally know what it’s like to have friends who are positive in my life as well it’s awesome, and I feel so blessed. I totally love your recent makes. Especially the scarfs, and neck warmers. 👍👍can’t wait to see what’s in store for 2023! 🎉😊 Happy New Year!
Happy New Year! Aren't sewing friends the best?!?1. I hope 2023 is a fabulous year for you!!
You are the only person I’ve ever seen that rocks orange…it’s a hard colour to wear. Most people look sickly in orange but you glow. Envious here.
Oh wow - what a nice thing to say! Thank you! 💕
Happy new year 🎉 vlogmas is hard on precious time before Christmas. . Even for subscribers to watch. I chose not to follow any vlogmas this year. Maybe extend the Friday sews in December to a weekly Christmas edition.🤔
Happy New Year Hermine! It was definitely hard to keep up with vlogmas, even as a viewer!!
