I have ADHD, so underestimating the time it takes for things is my daily life. Seeing that you took several days to do this is actually helpful for me personally. It doesn’t give of the impression that you can race through a thing like this in less than 24 h. So kudos for being transparent!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@lettherebelightpink]

How funny, I was about to comment the same thing, about how important it is to show real life on RUclips, and also to take your time with things if they end up taking longer than expected... and how I also have ADHD, so it feels extra meaningful to see that kind of honesty. You beat me to the punch! x

[@MadebyNoa]

Can we take a second to talk about how amazing Wendy looks in a turtleneck!?

[@paigeofthebook]

she's wearing the same outfit and earrings in her apartment tour LOL

[@TheSharandJoeShow]

She looks awesome!

[@retzza]

I love how Wendy is so humble and "normal" despite the fact that she has over 1M subscribers. That's the kind of spirit that I want to subscribe to.

[@TheSharandJoeShow]

Love her vibe!

[@patriciaponce3398]

When you talked about a new change in yours and dan’s life, i thought you meant you’re getting a dog or having a kid 😂 but a new mattress is still great!!

[@withwendy]

Looool the mattress is ALSO part of the preparation for changes! 😄

[@gothempress]

Did you motivate me? Absolutely! Did I get up and do anything? Not a chance! But! Do I _feel better_ ? *YES, QUEEN!*

[@BettyOs]

I’m an Aussie and have always grown up with the flat sheet. Because there is a sheet between me and the quilt/duvet cover I don’t need to wash the cover as often.
It is also very useful to have the flat sheet in the summer when it is too hot to sleep under a quilt/duvet.

[@beaveloso3682]

It was so satisfying seeing all those fabrics in little rolls
Ps: As far as I'm aware french seams are really called... french seams

[@galli0]

I think it was the flat seam, like the seam on jeans down the outside of the leg, i believe its a flat felled seam or just flat seam

[@diytailoringandrecycling7134]

Was für eine Ordnung

[@romy7865]

It find it funny because in french we call it an english seam haha

[@grundfunkel]

@@galli0 the seam used for jeans is made differently than a french seam :) unfortunately I don‘t know the english name for the jeans one (german : kapp - naht), but the french seam is called the same in germany where I’ve been trained as a dressmaker or ladies taylor whatever that might be called ;)

[@grainedeau787]

What’s funny is that in France, we call it the English seams 🙃

[@zapdara]

Rachel Maksy showed in a video that she has an "on air" light she uses to show her husband when she's filming. Maybe you could set up something like that? Love the rolled fabric organization and congrats on the new mattress!

[@helloemilymills]

Love the "high-tide/low-tide" explanation of the mess 😂

[@withwendy]

If you follow on IG you might know about the enlightening discussion we had this week on the varying attitudes towards flat sheets 😂do you use your flat sheets or no? discuss!

[@MeabhR]

I have never in my life used a flat sheet - in my country we use duvet covers on top and fitted sheets (with elasticated corners) on the mattress, all the way.

[@ChrisanneDaniel]

I use my flat sheet in the summer instead of the duvet because it gets hot in here!

[@umami6462]

where i'm from we use them all around the year 😅 in the summer it keeps us from feeling a little cold at night and also protect us from mosquitoes

[@mnels5214]

I use them to prolong the life of the duvet cover

[@wisecanadianwoman]

I sew my flat sheets together to make new duvet covers.

[@malikah_zarah]

A video hinting to us that we should do the same 😬

[@withwendy]

truly worth it though, it's been so easy all week to check my cabinets, take out fabric and put it back, I feel so much more ready for new projects!

[@lestranged]

I have been organizing and purging my fabric stash this past couple of weeks so this video is telling me i need to finish that!

[@malikah_zarah]

I literally only have a box of fabric that's struggling to close 🙃 before that you couldddd say i was under the same state as wendy

[@dudeyouareawannabe]

The shoulder pads could probably be reused as insown bra pads in a dress or top

[@blondietehdino]

I recently organized my fabric in a cheap up-cycled that’s pretty efficient.
I cut old cardboard boxes into rectangles and wrapped my fabric around that, wrote out labels with care instructions and wrapped that around the mini bolt of fabric, finally I set them all up on my bookshelf using bookends to hold them up.
It’s made it really easy to see what fabric I have and how much of each. I used to just fold it but it got messy quickly and was hard to to put back fabric I took out but didn’t like. The same amount of fabric that was spilling off of my shelf is now taking up less than half of the space.
(edit) 5:45
OH! Also for notions! I’ve been washing out empty soda cans, using a can opener to make a larger opening (using a flat metal tool after to push down any sharp stragglers sticking up), then I fill them with separate notions. If you keep them in a tall basket you can even stack the cans on top of one another to save space. It sounds ugly but you can even use seltzer cans like san pellegrino to make it cuter

[@junkabella6324]

Thanks for the tips! :)

[@MadebyMeredith]

Uuuuugh I need to organize my fabric too... it’s such a daunting task!

[@withwendy]

I put some of my podcast recommendations in the description in case they come to your aid, they made it much easier for me!

[@BrambleReid]

i cut swatches and used a binder to organize my fabric's, i did also fold my fabric's, however, I think i like the way you rolled yours. A french seam also has a top stitch to it. I like the box corner on your sheets. like the new equipment...

[@mojoholo9529]

It was good to see some of the reality of your and Dan's work situation. There is a comfort to be had from knowing others are having to compromise and adapt to this weird life xxx

[@cathleenmckay389]

I LOVE your space!!! I'm still a month or two away from being able to redefine my crafting/crochet/sewing space🥺
With Covid came the need to ask our dearest friend to live with us so we'd always have someone here for our kiddos. Husband runs a business, I was working full-time and suddenly we had kids home 24/7. I sacrificed my office space to accommodate family needs and even my temporary setup had to go to accommodate Christmas. I am definitely inspired to do things completely different than before and I can't wait to see it come together ☺️ Great video. Thank you, Wendy!

[@kylierigby1953]

I seem to be in "high tide" all the time 🤣🤣

[@lelaniadam]

The mattress features sound amazing! I hope you invest in a good mattress protector, it really helps with longevity & stain prevention. I guess you could make one too...it would be the same process as a fitted-sheet, you just need special fabric for the top of the mattress.

[@sewtania4074]

I rolled my fabrics last summer and purchased clear plastic stackable containers to store them inside cupboards or under the bed. Rolling is game changing! I also bought a new spring mattress that doesn't need a box spring so changed my bedframe to one that has 10" of clearance. Lots more storage! I feel far more organized and am able to find things or shop my stash. It is terrific isn't it!

[@naomi.m9598]

Each time I hear your voice, it relaxes me. Like if I'm stressed or something like that I just watch your videos and I end up so relaxed 😌😌, it's crazy 😂

[@MilenaPeix]

Your energy, voice and aesthetic are taking me to another world, and I am not even kidding or anything. You're so gourgeous and lovely, I love watching your videos, they are a pleasure to watch them after a long day even if I don't sew at all XD love u and keep going! (sorry for my english, I'm not very diligent student XD)

[@suspicioususpectlisa]

Ah cleaning. Something I've been planning to do for a long time. Living in a small student room for multiple years makes that I got a lot of stuff but almost no space to put it. The put it behind the doors and then close doors is definitely my strength haha. I have been waiting for some shelving unit but pandemic logistics gives it a hard time, hopefully next week I'll finally be able to clean out part of my room and be able to use my couch again (now place for appliances and stuff). The rolled up fabric together is very satisfying to look at.

[@kiarakeeper2154]

I use flat sheets, to make wrap pants ✂️✂️

[@pandamainiak2895]

I use to sew but not as much anymore due to work and motivation on other craft/fabric arts I've been enjoying more than sewing. I use alot of my scrap fabric as base fabric for embroidery patches I make as well as stripping it into tshirt like yarn. I love it and the left over tiny scrap pieces I dont use I use to make stuffing toys for my puppers

[@suhuitan]

My high tides last so long that after I tidy up I am always hesitant to start new projects. Thanks for this! I'm going to try your rolling method but I think it may not be powerful enough to overcome my fabric hoarding habit.

[@LydiaNaomi]

I can't watch this just yet but boy am I excited!!

[@latoyabrown9107]

1. I’ve always been impressed with the audio in you videos. Can you do a video on your audio setup?

[@v1mu]

As a fellow crafter/hobby person, I really appreciate these videos where you show me how to organize this stuff! Very inspiring!

[@ielline]

Your fabric rolls and inventory is so satisfying 😍

[@candicebuerer867]

Love the rolling the fabric trick! I roll my t-shirts in my drawers, but didn't think to use it in the sewing room! Folding the fabric, or putting it boxes by color, was not working. Can't wait to roll my quilting fabric, and label it by size. This should save me at least one shelf in the cabinet.

[@user-hs9il9fq5r]

Started organising my fabric hoard last week and gave up, may this be the push to finish it that I need 🙌🏻

[@withwendy]

You can do it!! To a degree, some of it might come with letting go too. There may be some value in you being real and gentle on yourself on which fabric projects are reasonable to keep! Extra stuff sometimes causes more stress and clutter than opportunity, but I leave that completely up to you!

[@user-hs9il9fq5r]

@@withwendy There is a lot of letting go to do! Hoping to donate a lot to the art/textiles department of my old college as we hardly ever had anything to experiment with when I studied there so I know it will be appreciated!

That is an amazing amount of light with the new installation. Your Spring clean-up
has inspired me to tackle my den. Thanks Wendy!

[@willebij]

Hi Wendy,
I envied your new wool matress. Something surprised me. There was only your fitted sheet and the mattress. In my environment we use something between the fitted sheet and the mattress. The fabric is a thick flanel called "molton", "calmuc". It is 100% Cotton. The weight can be 180 (too light), 500 , 800 (too heavy, thick) grams per M2 (square meter). Hope this is helpfull.

[@ashleylange733]

Very good to watch because I am creating my own business and now have a seperate room for everything sewing related .Really good video ♥️♥️🤗

[@didicaveronica]

I would love a video explaining your filming gear and setup! I remember when you made the video that showed the camera dangling from above your table at your old place, I loved it so much I used that trick too recently!

[@ima.muslimah...]

I Love your home. It's so practical and beautiful. Please do a full video about your home.

[@diykristin]

This video was perfect for me today! I reorganized my craft space and I’m totally going to roll my fabric!

[@mayaraabou]

It would be nice to see you making new projects with these fabrics that you already have in order to use them completely, changing the ordinary order project -> fabric to fabric -> project

[@VelvetHeartbeat]

I used to feel the same about flat sheets but realised they’re great when the weather is starting to get warmer, sometimes you can kick off your duvet and still feel like you’re IN bed because you’re under the sheet, for some reason it feels nicer?

[@jamedraa8472]

Ahhh Wendy.... I have SOOO much fabric. Every week I get pieces from Walmart's clearance section. Your vid is right on time.

[@cristiepie4679]

Hey Wendy! I love all your projects! Any chance you could tackle making cute make-up bags, or maybe lunch sacs? 😌

[@stephaniejohnson4703]

Feel silly asking this because it’s probably so simple, but could you do a mini tutorial showing how you managed to roll all your fabric so neatly?! Did you find a good method? I just know however hard I’d try they’d end up different lengths!!
