    You have really gone Hollywood. I remember when you were so apologetic for your accent. Now that you don't worry about it your personality has started to shine.

      Thanks so much 🥰 One of my Aussies subscribers told me that anyways for her, everything is accent. And this makes me realized that English is spoken differently everywhere. Cheers 🥰

      @@DowntownTailoring That's one thing I love about youtube - all the channels I follow have such a diversity of English speakers from all over the world, with a wide range of ideas, perspectives, and accents. Whether it's Canadian photographers, or Turkish cooks, or UK vintage costubers and so on, it's like being able to travel the world from the comfort of my cozy pillow nook, without all the cost and annoyance of actually traveling 😄 I wouldn't have it any other way.

    I love that you have that box of jeans hems. I do a lot of upcycling, so I have boxes of all different jeans parts, lol! (I even make hoop earrings out of belt loops!) Recently, I had a bunch of extra flat felled seams, so I wrapped them and glued them around some boxes and made cool storage cubes for my craft room!

    Could you imagine to make a series for plus-size alterations, pattern or sewing tips? For example I am trying to change a dress in size 20, the material is very nice and stretchy but due to much material because of plus-size it is becoming very heavy (bottom is tearing on the top down too much), and I am looking for some tips on how to stabilize it. Also tips for bigger tummy would be great! 😊
