That's what I call a successful collaboration 😅 As a native German speaker, I enjoyed trying to understand some of what she was saying as well! What a sweet lady!
This video was waaaayyy too short. 😔 Your mom is so cute in appearance and in character. 😊 I loved watching the interaction. Will there be a part two? 🙏🏼❤
What a delight and comfort it was to hear your mom speak Plautdietsche. I was raised in the Mennonite community but now live far away from anyone who regularly uses this language. The two of you have a lovely rapport and the humour was charming! Thanks for the subtitles though, as it's been a while! I'd love to have more of these Momma sews videos, just to hear the two of you talk. subscribed!
Did you know that Singer makes a modern machine that is treadle driven? I don't remember what they call it (and I'm blocked from their website as I'm outside of the USA) but I know that they are really popular amongst the Amish and with many people that live off grid. It's a simple modern machine with all the stitches and other features you'd expect, but you use a treadle to power it rather than electricity. You can fit it to most vintage treadle bases.
@@Jen-CelticWarrior Both the Janome and the treadle base are available at Lehman's, a company that has a lot of non-electric home and agricultural appliances.
Such a heartwarming video. I am so glad I learned to sew because my mom was also a sewist. I had not sewn for many many years (40)and recently picked it back up. Mama has passed away now & I can feel her looking over my shoulder as I sew. It is beautiful how we had sewing and other things to bond over. I regret not learning to crochet though. I really enjoyed seeing your Mama … more please! More Mama 😊
What a beautiful way to start my day! Your Mom is so cute, and I adore the loving interaction between the two of you. What a fantastic relationship you have! We need more of your mom.
This is such a sweet video, your mother seems like a wonderful woman. She seems like someone who would have a lot of stories! It's great to see you having fun together!
Just when I thought I couldn’t enjoy you anymore than I already do… you bring your Mennonite Mom on your channel and speak the language with her! Much Love Cornelius! 👏👏👏
I think my mennonite grandma probably used the same dress pattern for 30 years. Before that it was a different pattern that had probably been used for decades as well. The difference was that at some time in the 1970s she started using poly doubleknit for dresses instead of more traditional woven cloth. No doubt she thought the poly was more practical! Regardless, her dresses, only in those 2 styles, looked like they had been designed in the 1930s. Thanks for this video with your mom. I really enjoyed it.
I spent many of my younger years growing up in a Mennonite community. This brought back many happy memories and was a pure joy to watch and listen to the old German; high German, I was told. I found out it was quite similar to old Dutch spoken in the 1800s. Thank you, both.
I'm in Australia, Mennonites are not very common here. Your Mum is just gorgeous! Back in the early 1908's, my siblings and I bought our Mum a brand new sewing machine. The only boy in our family went through the complimentary lessons, and taught his mother and 3 sisters how to use the machine. I was so proud of him!
Cornelius, my mother has passed away. You will always have the gift of this fun video of you and your mother working together. God bless you both with many more years together.
I absolutely adore your mom and the love and humour that you both share with each other. Thank you for allowing me to learn more about your guys’ story and about Mennonite culture, today is the first time I heard Plautdietsch!
I have my Great grandmother's Singer sewing machine. It's absolutely beautiful it flip's inside a wooden sewing table with gorgeous Art Deco inlays on the wood, inside the drawers are the original guarantee & instruction manual for 1909. The woman who owns my local haberdashery is using a similar Singer machine hers isn't as old or in it's own table, but she absolutely loves the way it stitches. Pass on my regards to your Mother 🌻💙💜🏴
I will do that and oh wow, that sounds like an absolute gem of a machine/table combo that you have. I imagine it is a stunning as it sounds and a keeper for sure!
You're lucky! It's not difficult to find such machines, but they've often been badly neglected and are in anything but 'mint' condition. I would love to own one, that's an actual heirloom and has always been treated with care.
@batya7 I have my Grandma's treadle base and then my son found an old machine tossed into a trash pile. It is quite nice. I cleaned it up, put in the treadle base and it sews a perfect stitch!
I love the videos you've made with your family members, y'all are too funny! Growing up, my parents had a grandmother or neighbour making all their clothes on Singer machines like your mother's. They've talked about how fun it was picking out fabrics and going in for fittings, and the nostalgia now having me sew for them. It's been useful taking my parents fabric shopping since they know a lot about fabrics and have great taste. But when I was making a shirt for my mom for the first time, it was a loose fit with strap sleeves, my dad was adamant on his choice of a sparkly swim fabric! It ended up being pretty nice for the beach! 😂
Your mom is adorable. Is that Plautdietsch? you should do a whole video just on being Mennonite. Wonder what she'd think of my computerized Pfaff with a screen on it. She has way more skills than I do though
You and your Mother are so cute!!! I would love to watch more content with the two of you together. I have enjoyed watching all of the videos I have been able to watch. Still working on your videos... Keep up the great work!!!
Corny, I love your channel. If I need a smile (and to learn something to boot) I can count on you. Your Mom is just as entertaining as you are :) I guess its true that the apple doesn't fall far from the tree, eh? :) You guys are wonderful :D
Cornelius, may I ask you what are your tips to buy drafting tools? Like favourite materials, manufacturers, things to consider before purchasing them... you know. Would you make a video on the subject? I recently threw mine away (cheap, made of plastic, taped up all-over... the student's sweet life! 😅).
If I tried to cut a pattern out without pinning, I would end up with one heck of a mess. 😄 You both made me laugh. I love how you work together. You mom is a pure delight. 😊 Thanks for sharing this with us. We need a shirt update.
See now this is how us girls should be ! This is my favorite video just found ya ty ! She’s perfect! Love her so much she’s sweet and so smart ! I was taught traditional sewing and raised old fashioned! Love this ! Ty
My mother introduced me to the world of stitching cloths and after knowing tiniest knowledge about the cloth i shared modern tools and tricks to sew quickly using, French curve, canvas,linings and cloth sticking adhesive. being an engineer i was able to motorize her sewing machine and buy two more with other functions.she thinks it was her luck to have shared the knowledge about the tailoring.
My paternal grandmother was raised in a Swiss Mennonite community. She went on to live a much more "worldly" life than her parents did, and I never met my great grandparents, so I'm not too familiar with the culture. I imagine, however, that my great grandmother might have dressed and talked a good deal like your mother does. She's adorable, by the way. 🥰
Love your language. To my Danish ear it sounds Dutch and yet not. Love the interaction the two of you have. PS: Would be really interested to see/hear more about your background
You two made me smile so much 😊
"Its turned out a bit more modern than i thought ..." 😂😂
I'm happy we entertained.
American reality TV makes me sad but watching videos with your charming mother gives me great joy. Thank you both!
I'm glad you enjoy our interactions.
That's what I call a successful collaboration 😅
As a native German speaker, I enjoyed trying to understand some of what she was saying as well!
What a sweet lady!
Thank you! Yes, there's a bit of german in there so good ear.
Haha I heard some Dutch in it as well. Highly enjoyable content.
Modernisch! We’ll add that to our Dutch family’s vocab. Sounds terribly er.. modernisch 😂
@@kitty.kilian
Did you watch Downton Abbey, by chance?
Sounds like something the Dowager Countess of Grantham would say 😅
@@nielsmaaswinkel9940 No Dutch... ( I am) I heard some German to, So I scrolled and read others did to-
This video was waaaayyy too short. 😔 Your mom is so cute in appearance and in character. 😊 I loved watching the interaction. Will there be a part two? 🙏🏼❤
Yes ! We need a Part 2 !
We will most certainly do another one at some point :)
I have that same pattern and have made a number of shirts over that pattern. Doesn’t your mom have a seam ripper? I think she needs one! 💙
Absolutely charming! Hope to see more of the "metamorphosis of Mom"❤ You have a lovely relationship 😊
Your mom is delightful! She has a great sense of humour.
She sure is.

Cornelius, I knew you were a good teacher but to be this gentle and patient with one’s own mother! 🥹 what a treasure you are!
You're kind, thank you.

if you use a VPN you can access their ebsite
@@toericabakeryes but it’s not really worth it just to see what the machine is called. I probably could’ve looked it up on Amazon as well.
That is fascinating. I learning something new every day.
Janome 712T is a modern treadle machine. It also needs a treadle base as well.
@@Jen-CelticWarrior Both the Janome and the treadle base are available at Lehman's, a company that has a lot of non-electric home and agricultural appliances.
Loved the modern shirt your mum made. It's just like what I end up with when I sew mine. Thank you Mama Quiring for always being such a good sport!
... and thank you for the kind words.
She is lovely

That sounds absolutely wonderful. I'm glad to hear that was something you were able share with her and have a relationship as a result.
What a beautiful way to start my day! Your Mom is so cute, and I adore the loving interaction between the two of you. What a fantastic relationship you have! We need more of your mom.
I am very lucky to have her in my life. I hope the rest of your day was great.

I'm glad you enjoyed it :)

This is quite possibly the cutest thing ever 🥰

You too that from Walmart to Project Runway with one cut. Bravo. Bet mama looks fabulous in it hahahha

Love this! My mother always promised to teach me. She was so busy! I taught myself but I never have been as good as she was.
Thank you. I am glad to hear you still taught yourself.
Your mom is a legend - I laughed so much. You two have a wonderful relationship ❤
She sure is :)
This is the cutest video. Thanks for sharing!

One of your best videos yet!!!
Thank you. 🙏🏻
More Mom please. I'm unable to completely follow her German, but she is wonderful and a beautiful Lady.
There is more coming.
I just love your videos; your mother is such a blessing…
She really is.
How incredibly sweet! You and your mom together are absolutely precious!
We like to have fun, thank you.

Also, yes, that is Plautdietsche.
@@CorneliusQuiring It's been a lot of years since I've heard Plautdietche!
Are you guys in PA? It was so much fun watching you and your mom! She's funny, but together you are both hilarious.
We live up in Canada. Mom is a hoot indeed.

It’s so fun listening to you guys speak.. I am learning Afrikaans and can pick up on a few words here and there.
Oh nice. I think there may be some dutch overlap there.
You are lucky to get your mum along.... looks like you both are enjoying the experience. And I see you¨ve got a new hat too....
I really am lucky indeed. We're having fun. I recently reshaped the brim on this hat.
Loved this ❤

Thank you. It sounds like you had a wonderful mom too.

Would you make a video on the subject? I recently threw mine away (cheap, made of plastic, taped up all-over... the student's sweet life! 😅).
Most certainly, I had planned on doing such a video soon.
That was great! Thanks, Corn.
thanks for watching!

Thank you. 🙏🏻 I'm happy we entertained.
Thank you
Your Momma is awesome!!!
Indeed she is!
I love this video. I agree with others. It is very charming and way too short. Your mom was such a cute and good sport too.
You are kind, thank you.
I really enjoyed this, I hope you make some more with your mother.
I most certainly will!
My mother introduced me to the world of stitching cloths and after knowing tiniest knowledge about the cloth i shared modern tools and tricks to sew quickly using, French curve, canvas,linings and cloth sticking adhesive. being an engineer i was able to motorize her sewing machine and buy two more with other functions.she thinks it was her luck to have shared the knowledge about the tailoring.
Oh nice and good on you for motorizing her machine. Also for getting her 2 others ones. That's very thoughtful of you.
Amazing video!!
Merci :)
So sweet❤❤❤

More videos with your mom! You two are so cute together!
Isn't she just?! Yes, we will certainly do more together.
And here I’m admiring her dress trying to peak at all pleats n details!!!
I'll be sure to let her know :)
This was amazing
