    Our Dear Ms. Myers: If you want to tell if a fabric is silk or polyester, take a tiny piece and light it on fire. If it smells like burning hair, it is silk. If it melts, it's polyester!😊

      It is also the way to check if Fur is real or faux,real Fur smells of hair when burnt and faux will go into a black glob.

    There is a huge percentage of clothes (in charity shops) that will never be bought, so I applaud you for creating something beautiful out of items that will more than likely go to landfill. You should be an ambassador for society & the lifestyle we need to adopt for our future! 👏👏

    @tmeyers handmade - I can't wait to get started on this project. I love the transformation you created with the dress. Absolutely stunning! What's crazy is I own that exact dress I purchased 5 years ago. I never fully retired it because I love the print and sleeves. What's even crazier is that everything you used to upcycle is very similar to scarves and fringes I've collected and rescued from Goodwill. I need to finish 2 purses, a shirt, and an altered jacket you inspired me to create before I start another project. Thank you so much for sharing your creative ideas and talent.

Youve got the wardrobe! You are my stylist. Thanku for all you are doing to pass this gift to the next generation, and even to other sewing sisters like me in retirement and still sewing to beat the band!

    This is beautiful! I just love watching and learning from you. You make everything look, well, if not completely easy, then certainly do-able. You're a great teacher -- so relaxed. I want to make one! What amazes me, though is your inspiration. When you first started, I was thinking, "Hmm, I don't know about that dress. " You placed the embellishments so artfully, and transformed it into such a cool, boho, thing of beauty. 💗

    Hi Tracy, i love the way you choose and place the patches of different fabrics. Somehow, they always look amazing and lift the outfit transformation into something wonderful. I love the way you use different textures to create a really unusual and totally wearable piece of art! It's really encouraged me to experiment and not be so predictable with my sewing. Thanks so much for sharing your brilliant skills to give me the confidence to let go and go for it 😘

      I have an idea for a video. Have your devoted, adoring fans send pictures of projects they have done, inspired by your videos!!! Maybe create an email address for us to send pictures. Then your video can be "This is from Mary in Florida. She made this cool fringe purse after watching the t-shirt to purse video (and link the episode so we can quickly access it too)." Maybe 5-10 sentences per fan entry.
