Absolutely share knitting with us! I both knit and sew so adding yarn to the roster can only make things even better :D
Omg, same. I couldn’t agree with you more.
Ooo I love the way the blouse turned out and the way it looks with the orange skirt. I'm looking forward to that video too!
I love the details of the buttons! So clever! I'm also really interested in the tape measure shirt you were wearing at the beginning and the end. So cute.
Welcome back! It's so good to see you again. I love how you've styled a pretty niche novelty print in a way that feels wearable without having to go full kitsch from head to toe (though of course that has its charms too!). Your videos have started making me see so much more potential in patterned and textured fabrics that I might otherwise have passed by. As a fellow knitter, I look forward to any knitting content the future may hold.
Wow! I learned so much about bound buttonholes (I've NEVER DONE ONE!) and your dogs are delightful! Thank you for talking me into a puppy!
I really like your channel, I have been following you since the beginning. You inspired me to learn basic fashion sewing. And you still have good new content to present. Please make more clips for us to see. because it is happiness
I think knitting would be an interesting addition. There’s another blogger who does retro sweaters and I love to watch those.
Please share the name of that creator

I learned to knit as a kid in the 50s, but it never became a passion. I do, however, love watching Arne and Carlos as they "sit and knit for a bit."
I really love your content. It's extremely relaxing as well as informative. Also, I would love to see you knit some vintage sweaters and cardigans to go with your lovely outfits.
I'm loving the blue hair!!
Yay knitting! I both knit and sew, and there are great vintage knitting patterns to expand your wardrobe. Imagine a vintage ski sweater for winter!
That shirt looks amazing and pairs so well with the orange skirt. GREAT JOB
I love the 1040, 50's, 60's style and enjoy when you make them. You are amazing. The blouse looks vey pretty on you. Thank you.
So good to see you back. Thank you for being so honest about your mental health! Your strength in being open is so meaningful.
Yes please, share your knitting!!!!!!!! I love watching everything you do.
With hope and joy,
Audri
It looks so beautiful! I love the dog print! I know that when I feel like I can’t change anything in the world around me I can get lost for a weekend in a sewing pattern. Thanks for your insight and great detail in your tutorials.
No matter what you're making, you've always been my favorite sewing youtuber and always will be!
I love that blouse! Thank you for all the videos you make. You may not know this but after watching your channel for awhile you got me back to sewing for myself. I stopped back in 2004 when I stopped working due to health reasons and got into quilting in a big way, as I didn’t need a work wardrobe anymore. Love all your videos and cannot wait for your next. Thanks Angela, stay well and keep on creating. Knitting 🧶 yeah, come on show us your stash and what you have made.
I don't sew, so literally everything you say is a complete mystery to me...and yet I find your videos absolutely fascinating! Will 100% watch you knit. Keep up the good work!
It‘s a great blouse! Also, i like „funkyfied“ vintage, so i hope you make more vintage pieces to go with your hair color preferences. It would be nice to see your knitting projects sometime. How about a twinset out of rainbow yarn? Anyway, happy to see you back on youtube and looking forward to the next video 👍
The blue hair is *chef's kiss*
Love this blouse! The pattern reminds me of my grandfather in the early 60s when he had Bird Dogs and hunted Pheasants!
I love the way it turned out! The dog framed pattern worked so much better then I thought it would!
I was a bit skeptical at first, too, because it seemed so big, but it is perfect!
Oh knitting is such a lovely hobby! And there are *so* many fun, free vintage patterns on the internet! I've been working from an 1890s crochet book and it's hard but fun. Now that I have my great, great grandma's hooks, it's easier (the names of hooks & their sizes have changed over time), so I'd love to know if something similar is true of vintage knitting!
You look fabulous in 40's fashion. Don't worry about what others think. Wear what makes you happy.
So happy to see you back! I’ve missed your videos!! By the way I love the fabric and the blouse you made with it and of course the hair rocks!! 💖
I love the blue hair & the dog shirt of course! Love the cut. Button holes man, no thank you.
This year has been rough on the mental health for me too, ridiculously so. Glad you talk about it. Glad to see a lot more people talking about it to.
That fabric is so nostalgic! Reminds me of the prints my dad used to wear during the 1970s. He was particularly fond of horse prints.
The buttons turned out lovely! Please tell us all about your knitting and your yarn stash - I´ve fallen in love with knitting over the last couple of years, as well as collecting vintage yarns and browsing patterns... it´s so addictive! I would love to hear about what you have been up to with your newest obsession :D
I am really happy with this video, I enjoy everything you do and always learn a lot if things. In fact, I learned sewing from you. The first video I saw from you was the Cinderella Live Action dress and I watched everything you did ever since. I started sewing because of you and sewing is the best method to help me with depression and anxiety. So, I guess, I just want to say a big thank you to you. You helped me so much witch my mental health. And it hurts me that your own mdntal health isn‘t at a good place. I really hope you find som relief. I hope that things get better for you. You truly are an inspiration, not only sewing wise, I also look up to your views and thoughts, they align so much with mine. Love your content but if you need it, take your time. And come back when you are feeling better, with whatever project, it doesen‘t have to be big, a blouse is just fine :)
So adorable and it's always great to see you work even it's more of a "noobie" pattern!
Sorry to hear you've been struggling with MH lately ❤️
Love love this blouse! The style and the fabric is wonderful! I love prints from the 70's. The best era for fabric prints in my opinion.
Share everything you make with us! Knitting would be great too:) You’re my favorite youtuber, and I’ve sewn like two things in my life. Just love your content and you always make such fun and lovely things. I miss the 40’s and 50’s stuff and I think you can rock the hair colors with it!
Hello! I hope you have a cheery day. I finally finished up what I had to sew for today and get to sit with my feet up and hand quilt! I hope you have a wonderful week ahead! Thank you f or sharing your video!
The blue hair is nice on you. I've actually signed up for a beginning sewing class that starts in two weeks. It's great you know how to sew without following instructions.
I'm always amazed at how diligent and precise you are and how much you know about sewing!
this is the channel that I was looking for for vintage patterns construction. in the short amount of time that I've been watching, I have already had so many questions answered by you.
Welcome back! I would definitely be interested in knitting videos. A word of warning from a wool hoarder, buying wool without a project in mind will almost always result in you not having the right amount, color, or weight when you actually find a project. I went on wool buying binge in 2019, but due to budget and suitcase size limits I tried to only buy small amounts, now I have a box of wool that I don't know what to do with.
Angela, I've been wanting to sew historical costumes and corsets since I watched you. I think I like a little more amazon women's style, but it's pretty enough to blend with them. Also, I didn't know that I was such a fan of corsets. Every job you do is incredibly beautiful and a work of patience. Thanks for your effort. ❤️
Yes! Bring on the knitting content! I've recently taken up crochet and one of my favorite things to do is work on a project while watching someone else work on their project ❤️.
In the mid 1970s I fell in love with 1940s styles; it was very hard to find vintage patterns so I purchased a basic yolked button up blouse pattern. I made fold over cuffs for the elbow length sleeves (2 points) and sewed a large button on the cuff at the bottom. I used a 1970s fabric very similar to yours, except it was trees instead of dogs. I also teamed it with a rust coloured crepe skirt. Thank you Angela for the walk down memory lane. I hadn't thought of that blouse for years.
The bird buttons were so absolutely charming that I want to buy my own button-making supplies
Those buttons are the cutest! And yes, share your knitting endevours with us!
Love how the blouse turned out!! I would never think to pair a gun dog fabric with it! I'd figured that would have been better suited to a men's shirt.
One of these days I'd love to see you do some vintage loungewear/sleepwear patterns! I've been eyeing several beautiful gowns and peignoirs and robes recently and would love to see them come back to life.
I really enjoyed this video. Vintage clothing from the 1930 to the 1950s are probably my favorite. This blouse turned out beautifully.
I really like this blouse, especially the bird buttons. Very flattering. I like the contrast of vintage clothes with your bright hair and make-up, which brings to mind more of a tribute or homage to the era(s) worn than a straight mimicry.
Thanks for letting us know how you are. A knitting pattern and wool haul video would be lovely.
I just made my 1st form fitting 1950s dress and I'm surprised at how good it looks, I usually avoid more form fitted clothing but I think I need more 😅
I have been meaning to get into knitting forever....so definitely yes to some videos about that. And I'll never say 'no' to a haul video. I don't know, why they're so much fun to watch... but they are!
Bring on the yarn!!!! I’d love to see yarn hauls and pattern hauls and other yarny plans. I crochet and have done so for years and I have an epic yarn stash. I’m always happy to see yarn. ❤❤
Yes please more 40s would be lovely or even if you feel like doing another fantasy or barbie project, I love all your work!
I love this. I sewed a lot of blouses in the 1970's. I would love to see your knitting. I began knitting in 4-H when I was 9 years old.
I would absolutely loooove a closet tour of all your self made stuff!
That is lovely and your step by step was amazing!
Omg! You’re back!! I’ve missed you So much!! Xxx
I love your clever sewing tips. They always help me improve my sewing so thank you.I loved this video.
I was recently rewatching your shopping trips antiquing and fabric hunting. They are my comfort viewing. 🥰
You've got so much talent and it shows in every garment you make. Your
so creative and a pleasure to watch and I always get a tip from watching you sew. I have recently taken up beading and like you I go whole hearted into a new craft and my sewing had been lacking but I am sure I will get to it again. I better because I have so much material. I would love to see your knitting. Thanks
This is my favorite sewing video I’ve watched in a while. I loved every part of this so much: the pattern, the fabric choice, the bonus dog content!
I’m basically interested in whatever content you feel like putting out. I love the things you make.
Yep, writing off yarn is amazing! I wish I had one tenth of your sewing skills!
The blouse looks fabulous, and I particularly liked the bound buttonholes and those gorgeous buttons! Thank you for showing us so many little techniques - inspiring!
Procrastinating my own sewing by watching you sew 😅 I'd definitely watch knitting videos, welcome to the world of yarn stashes!
What an adorable blouse! And it looks great with the orange skirt. Good to see you again.
Nothing is more exciting than seeing a video from you popping up in my video list!
Please do share more of your knitting and occasional playing with your dogs as well, it's so cute. The blouse turned out lovely!
Hi Angela. I too sewed for a long time before picking up knitting...and now I have a large stash of beautiful yarn, to go with my beautiful stash of fabric. Have fun!
Blouse was fun to see and I like how you always think of people who are either new to your channel, or new to sewing! Cheers and best wishes for a great spring and summer.
Totally adorable blouse, love it! I'm still trying to wrap my head around the buttonhole process.🤪
This turned out lovely!! Love the fabric and pattern. :)
I think your funky hair color brings updates retro 40s looks beautifully.
You pretty much taught me how to sew inte way way back and now it's one of my most defining interests (along with vintage knitting). Been wanting to try drafting some vintage blouses so this could not have been more perfectly timed!
Oh I got to the knitting part and YES! Show me everything! Now! ...Or at your earliest convenience. No pressure
Aside from the blouse you've just sewn, which turned out beautifully, I really need to say I love the tape measure shirt you're wearing in the intro and outro. Gorgeous!
I actually like the contrast of historical clothes with colourful hair! It's fun and modern!
Yes. Please show more 1940s sewing items. It looks good with the hair...no matter the color.
Yes, please share your knitting! I would love to see you delve into the history of the subject and even vintage patterns
JUST when I was wondering when I’d get another Angela Clayton video 🥰
Love the blue hair! Love the purple hair! Love the combination of the fabric and the pattern! By all means, yarn us.
Welcome back! You've been missed
You are such an inspiration! Your videos made me want to start sewing and your skills are something I really admire! 🌸
Yes, knitting! I love knitting and would love to see a video about your learning process!
Yes. Knitting! Also, I love the blue hair.
I am sorry to hear that it has been a hard year, I totally understand. I am always impressed that you are able to make the pieces you do.
I always love your following a vintage pattern videos.
I love this make and the buttons are a French kiss.
An excellent tutorial on bound buttonholes. The blouse is beautiful.
Blue!! I love it!! Of course, I will miss the green, but I think that this blue is actually better suited to you.
And as a color-addict and lover of pretty clothing, yes it absolutely goes with all the styles!
Yay! So good to see a video from you again! LOVE the blouse, and that skirt you paired it with is divine.
Oof about the mental health, and same. Its been a rough few months. Im also a knitter, and i love knitting as a kind craft for when im struggling with depression because it can be done while snuggled up on the couch with a ton of pillows. Id love to see a yarn haul!
I hope ur well Angela.
This top is adorable, the fabric is too cute and it looks great on you! ❤
The blouse is great. And you make bound buttonholes look very easy.
I always loved your tailored colorful hair vintage outfits
I don’t sew at all but I love watching your videos and listening to you talk.
Your attention to detail is spot on..from nice to fabulous. Yes to knitting! I’m just learning. So I would love to see your thought process and projects.
Love this video! What a fun, funky print. Love the bright hair colors with the juxtaposition of the structured forms! Feels very you in a good way!
I love these vintage pattern recreations. I’m just now getting back into sewing after being sick last year and your videos are so motivational!
I absolutely love this fabric, the buttons with the bird heads are adorable. :)
Love your style especially with the funky hair colors. You do you and if you love it its fine.
And love how you disregard the instructions and make changes to the patterns. I do exactly the same.
As a previous owner of Irish Setters I love this fabric so much
Yay, the French seam queen is back !!!! ❤️
Love the blouse! I think vintage styles are even more striking and classy, even, with funky hair colors. I find the juxtaposition quite attractive, like with the ‘70s fabric in a ‘40s style…very cool. As an almost lifelong knitter (over 40 years!! 😱), I am ALWAYS interested in knitting content!! I hear you on the stash… I recently de-stashed over half of mine (donated it) because it was completely out of control. Wishing peace, love, and light for you and yours.
So good to see you again. Hang in there and keep following your interests, you’re doing so well. Welcome to knitting and look forward to your next video.
Yes , we want to see your knitting, also😊
Cool shirt! Live the 40s shirt silhouette and the dog fabric! There's nothing better than animal prints that are literary pictures of animals :D
I am absolutely in love with your tape measure shirt!
