The Style of this video like most of mine is less intstruction of the sewing of the garment and more a sewing vlog/ sewing diary.
However, I do indeed show the entire process of creating and sewing the garment. While I discus my thoughts on creating sewing videos on RUclips, costube, costubers, the vintage sewing community and what it feels like internally as you attempt to grow your RUclips channel.
Sewing 1940s style was a lot of fun and I hope to do it again very soon.

It is stunning!!! Great job! So wonderful to have people who save vintage patterns so that a whole lot of new sewers can discover the vintage joys!
It’s so awesome!!
I love how the dress came out!
And, you don’t need my validation, but you gonna get it!! You are amazing! I see how you grow both in sewing and video making in each video. Most importantly though, you be true to you and the viewers will come (as they have). I BELIEVE IN YOU!!
Thank you so much! For always being so kind and supportive and for the gorgeous pattern ❤️
Your dress is beautiful not only because you made it but because you are wearing it. And don't forget even seasoned seamstresses make mistakes. When I worked at David's bridal in the seamstress department we had a very experienced seamstress once ruin a wedding dress. Thankfully it was replaced but she had been sewing more years than I had been alive. In a lot of ways that experience helped me deal with the reality of perfectionism. Perfection is a complete lie and I'm much happier just doing something I love and I'm glad you are to. Don't let anyone steal your joy.
Thank you! It’s like we know this but it always helps to hear it from someone else. I really do love sewing and this project reminded me of that. Lots of fit issues, I even cut a hole when opening the button holes, but I love it and feel good wearing it. Thanks for watching but mostly for taking the time to write this. So sweet of you and it means a lot. ❤️ Drew
❤❤ I think I needed to find this video today. Thanks for putting your light out into the world. On your own terms.
What a beautiful thing to say. I really needed to hear that today. Thank you so much 😊
You did wonderful I love this video and the details on this dress. I love that you always push through. You look lovely as usual. Such a relaxing video. As much as it sucks hate still equals engagement. Engagement pushes your videos
Thank you. I’m glad you found it relaxing. ❤️
Your dress came out cute and your last message about your kids being proud of you was adorable ☺️
Thank you 😊
I like vintage clothes so much.
Me too! so elegant even the basic day dresses
Great job, girl!! Love your channel! Ignore the haters .... you are fabulous!
😊 Thank You 😊
I love your buttonholes! That robins egg blue is so fun
I’m happy you think so! It took me days to choose fabric lol
I like the color combo, very bright! I love to see creators that are less experienced because I'm also less experienced and sometimes it's great to learn together
I totally agree!
I appreciate your openness and honesty about your journey! You’re doing amazing!!
Thank you 😊
Love it
Super cute the dress looks darling on you.
😊
Love this dress, and love your voice and honesty even more 😊
Thank you so much! ♥️♥️🥹 This channel is a journal or diary of sorts for me. Some people like that aspect and some don’t. I’m glad you do ♥️
Very nice final product. I understand you would like to express your personal thoughts. But the internet or RUclips is not personal. There,s a time and a place for most thoughts. Thank you for sharing your friends site for vintage patterns. I am learning myself to sew a dress. You are talented and stay positive in your attitude. Blessings
My page is exactly the place for my personal thoughts. I literally say this space is a time capsule for my children to watch years from now. If you don’t want to hear my personal thoughts don’t visit my channel. Blessing to you good luck on your dress and with your personal thoughts. ♥️
Love your style 🏳️🌈🧕🏿👌🏾🦹🏾♂️🥰
The dress is lovely. Well done, you. You did a collaboration with Ms. Canada - Huzzah!
And good for you for thinking of your children, and possibly grandchildren looking through these little capsules of time you're creating.
My Dad passed away in November; I'm slowly starting to make my way through the (surviving) family photos. It's honestly humbling. After they're gone, you start to get some of the stories the parentals chose not to share. And you guess at the gaps. My Maternal Grandad was a union activist in the 30's-50's. I only just found out that my Paternal Grandad was a British Navy veteran of WW1.
Historic dress is, for me, a way to see it through their filter. History jangles like jazz...
And I feel you on having eyes that are hungry for projects and for fine finishes. I'm waiting for my skill level to catch us, as well. We'll both get there (she types, still contemplating the how of doing a sewing YT channel).

Sending you all my love ❤️
@@SewSewDrew Thank you Ms. Drew.
I have been so aware of saving history for my children. Special things, outfits worn home from the hospital and first birthday dresses. Tiny cowboy boots and baby bracelets. About 10 years ago most all of my parents photos and heirlooms and tangible maps of my childhood were ruined in a flood. I long for things with history. For old christening gowns or baby pictures of my younger brother who passed on 5 years ago. Life itself is so very humbling and history jangles like jazz is one I’ve only just heard now but find so very fitting. Thank you for sharing. It means so much to me. As always
❤️Drew
@@SewSewDrew 'History jangles like jazz' is a title of a poem I wrote about ten years ago.
I'm so sorry you lost so many photos. That's heartbreaking. And I'm sorry for the loss of your brother. There are no words.
Up here in Canada, if your family hit the shores at the beginning of the 20th century, at least one of your Granny's had a Cedar Chest. My maternal Granny kept some of the most amazing things. Sadly, her 2 flapper dresses didn't survive... Neither did the photo of my Grandpa arriving as a little guy in a horse & carriage moving van.
Anyways - a cedar chest lets you keep things dry while naturally keeping away the moths. And the light.
Don't forget to print out some of the baby photos on acid-free paper. They don't have to go into an album. Trust me, a box of photos is a goldmine... And the ones in frames... just make sure to have a uv filter film on the glass to preserve the image.
Thanks for this Information I have been storing thing I. The plastic bins, I’m searching “cedar chest” now and would love (if you are opening to sharing ) perhaps emailing me the full poem.
❤️Drew
Drew the time and effort you put into your sewing is all worth it in the end, adorable dress. And I truly enjoy your videos. You go Girl!
Awww 🥰 Thank you
OMG, That dress looks so cute on you! Just to let you know…those people that are not nice and criticize you are unhappy people. Let’s see them put themselves out there and show a very human side. None of us are perfect. We learn from watching others and apply what we observe to our own projects. Thank you so much for being just who you are. You are not pretentious, or showy or act like you know it all. None of us do. We enjoy sewing and creating for a number of reasons and in no specific order. For example, you mentioned shoulder pads…sweetie shoulder pads in the 80s … they were huge. But, lucky for us we make our shoulder pads to fit our desire…one layer at a time. So happy I found your channel. Oh, and Stephanie Canada is awesome! She does reviews with humor and sarcasm. Love her! You are in good hands.
How am I just seeing this comment?! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave this for me. Perhaps I seen it just now because this is when I needed to ❤️
Ooohhhh, that looks great. Congratulations
Thank you! I still love this dress
This came out darling. I've been sewing costumes for over 20 years and sewing in general for over 30 and honestly there are still days where I mess something up or have to go look up how to do something. As Stephanie said... you don't need my validation but you have it. As well as my well wishes and cheerleading.
Oh this is the sweetest comment ever!!!
Drew,
You go girl! Tonight is the first time I've seen one of your videos. Well done! You're beautiful, smart and transparent in sharing the lessons you've learned as you reach for your dreams. It was so refreshing to hear a fellow vintage pattern sewist be so honest. Thank you! Keep striving. You'll get there. I think you should be encouraged. On this video you produced a lovely summer dress -- and you inspired me to push forward on my own projects. Again, thank you.
Thank you so much for your kind words! I’m happy you enjoyed the video and found some inspiration 😊
I love your channel and your videos
I have been sewing since I was little and still there are things I don't know how to do or do well. Don't let people discourage you darling. They're just not happy and don't want anyone else to be either.
Keep smiling and sewing 😊
Thank you for being so sweet and kind ♥️♥️
I love your channel so much! My heart is filled with joy when i watch your videos. Not only am i also on a sewing journey, and i can relate so much to what you are saying, but I also love your voice and personality, the calming music in the background too. Sewing videos/pattern hauls are my go to videos for calming down, and your channel and Rachel Maksy are my favorites. Not sure if you read comments on old videos but if you do, I hope this comment brought you joy
This comment most definitely brought me joy. I’m glad you find it relaxing here! That means a lot to me. ❤️
Another beautiful dress, you did an amazing job. As someone who is much older than you my advice is to take your journey slow and really enjoy the creative process, you're learning something new or refining what you've already done. I know when I first started sewing I wanted to reach couture level overnight (still not there). Another tip that may help you with gathering in zig zag over your bobbin thread. Watching Sewing with Nancy " The Absolute Easiest Way To Sew" will show you how its done. I learned how to sew watching her tv program.
Thank you so much for the kind words and advice I will check that out ❤️
Nice work! I think the thicker hem helps the dress drape nicely.
Your fabric choice is beautiful and i love the dress😍
Cute dress
Beautiful ❤️🥰
This is so encouraging! You’re doing great and I love your style. I’m just starting sewing my dream wardrobe too! I love watching you!
Thank you so much 😊
I enjoy watching the videos you make where you show the mechanics of sewing combined with your thoughts in the voice over.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts about where you are on your sewing path. I am similarly at the start of learning to sew from vintage patterns and make things for my daily wardrobe. It was helpful to hear your perspective the learning journey.
Thank you so much for watching! This format really is my favorite I don’t feel qualified to really give a lot of instruction. But I can show what I did and talk about how I felt at the time. It makes me feel good that you enjoyed ❤️
What a really beautiful message! Definitely really appreciated hearing your thoughts and reflections on the sewing journey. And the dress came out really beautifully and looks like it fits you great- good job!
Thank you so much!
I really like your fabric! The flowers are really cute ❤ I think the end result is great! 👏🏻
Thank you ♥️
How cute did that turn out! The buttons, can you image they did them by hand...ahhhh. and the collar, I love it. Great job. Keep inspiring.
I can’t imagine doing them by hand. I was so mad when I cut the hole in the dress opening them. But thanks for watching and taking the time to write something ❤️
You are doing wonderful. Love watching you sew. I'm not a clothing sewer, so I can not say a bad word. Keep up the great work!
Thank you 😊
Hello Drew, I’m so happy I found your channel. I wished I found it 8 years ago. I had the same feelings about my sewing skills when I jumped into sewing vintage. I packed everything away and haven’t sewed anything for 5 years. I woke up today with the motivation and the feeling of missing creating/sewing and found you on RUclips.
I decided to check my messages first thing today. This message is the first thing I’m seeing or doing today. What a great way to start the year. I’m happy found me I’m happy you are here. I hope you decided to pull the supplies out too. But in your own time. I’m the meantime I hope you stay here a while and feel free to message me on IG if you want to chat.
❤️Drew
@@SewSewDrew oh my goodness I would love that! I did exactly that and pulled out my sewing machine and pattern B5474 Butterick.
Good for you! I’m so happy for you. That’s an awesome apron pattern what view are you doing?
@@SewSewDrew view A
I love your videos so much! It is so nice to get to hear your thoughts as you sew, and to see the lovely clothes you've made at the end of each video. This dress turned out great! And I love the thought that your children can watch these videos one day. ❤️
Thank you 😊 Im so glad you like the format of the video I wasn’t sure people would so I’m very happy about that.
"expert yesterday" SAME!!! HAHA. And thank you! I am enjoying the nails after going so long without going to any type of salon. My sister has learned how and she does them for me and I enjoy the "bling" Im realizing that no one is all one thing and I can be a traditional housewife with a dash of Cardi B thrown in for fun 😏❤️ Thanks for watching!
I look for a video to learn from.. and if the video gives knowledge and simulator mistakes like I've done .. I personally learn more! thank you for video
Thank you for watching. And taking the time to leave a comment ♥️
I love your videos. The dress came out beautiful. You and your channel are amazing.
Thank you that’s so sweet of you! I appreciate it ♥️
Love the dress. Love your channel.
❤️
I've just found your channel and really enjoyed this video. I loved your commentary and I love the dress you made. I will be back! 🙂👍❤️
I am happy you found your way here! I hope you stay awhile ♥️
I seriously love your channel and your videos. You talking through everything you are thinking and going through is amazing. I relate to so much you say about your process and working through what you are capable of in this moment. Keep it up!
Thank you so much for saying this it really warms my heart. Opening myself up has really been such a positive experience. Especially with what we have all been through the past two years it’s been really nice to receive the support I have. I hope you stick around ❤️
Cute!
I think the dress came out great. I enjoy watching your channel, although I am a little more experienced. I love seeing how your dresses turn out. I have fitting problems. My cotton/woven dresses always turn out horrible. My knit garments are great. I expanded my skills by doing other things as well. I have made a handful of bags, I quilt and I embroider. The biggest skill I have had to learn is patience. Easier said than done now that I am back working and have 3 kids,about 3 years apart, starting at 9. Just keep going, don't let them still your joy. I will continue to watch your videos as I grow right along with you.
Thank you for watching and taking the time to share this with me. I never thought of trying other things, what a really good idea. I could it see how it will help the skills grow. 3 sounds like a lot of fun and work 😊 I hope you too continue to make time for your sewing and other things you love ❤️
Love to see how you do/learn about your sewing. And find you very respectful in your langutch. So i say keep going and stay you. We need that caint of energie flowing in to the world. Love your dress..you can ware it proudly.💗
Thank you so much for watching and commenting. I love how this dress came out.
Such a fabulous creation, I've just subscribed!
😊 thank you 😊
People downvote or thumbs down things for the weirdest reasons. Keep doing you. I love your videos.
Thank you 😊
Baby girl, follow your heart - just enjoy the journey, the process. As the saying goes, "God writes straight with crooked lines." - and that is just as true with sewing. It's all a process and we all have to walk the path. Enjoy the view. Enjoy those put in your path and what they can teach you. Even those that may be negative- we can still learn from them, even if it is to just to extend the grace they are unable or unwilling to give. You will be better for it in the end.
This is beautiful advice and I appreciate you for it ❤️. Extending Grace is key, to others and myself as well.
@@SewSewDrew we are the hardest on ourselves, aren't we? Nothing anyone else can say can really compete. Peace and grace to you, friend.
@@melboe6842 yes we are. I think it’s a behavior that can be unlearned. And the same wishes for you friend. ❤️
Drew, this is Resurrection Sunday - Happy Easter!
By the way, everyone didn't love or accept Jesus, but He still made it all the way to Calvary to die for rhe sins of the whole world. Im so glad He did!
I know this is a sewing channel, butJesus didn't let the haters stop Him... please dont let them stop you.
Your vintage dress turned out super fine and it looks great on you. Keep on doing and enjoying what you do, it is an inspiring thing. ✝️🙏💃♥️...
Happy Easter! Thank you for the kind and encouraging words. ♥️♥️
Just subbed! I have never sewn anything before but I really want to learn. I'm on the heavier side and am a little heavier up top, so vintage style dresses that are available in my price range almost never look good on me. What is in my size is pretty limited to solid colors, too. Your videos make sewing these style dresses a lot more manageable to do at my level than other creators. The dress looks lovely 💛💙
Hey Girl Hey!! So happy to have you. Vintage style is so fun. I will be showing a full bust adjustment soon. I’ve been purchasing my patterns a little to small because the ones I love are never in my size. So stay tuned for those videos sizing up the patterns and full bust adjustments. Look forward to getting to know you!
-Drew
@@SewSewDrew oh thats so exciting! I can't wait to learn from you! ❤
Awww 😊 I’m still very new to sewing and vintage sewing especially but I hope I can help. And if you ever need to ask anything my email address is dhkeelin@icloud.com if I can’t help I will be able to find help lol. I have friends that actually know what they are doing 😃
I absolutely love the way your dress turned out. Amazing ❤️ I love your channel thank you for inspiring me to sew.
Thank you for watching. I really enjoyed this video the most so far. It has inspired me to sew as well. 😊
I have a 1950's pattern (I got it from the lovely and talented Ms. Canada). It's a wrap dress that buttons in the front. It's one of those patterns that can be made into a skirt, a top, a rain coat and a late winter coat. Basically? Everything that I plan on making with the pattern (and so far I'm up to about 7 projects from 1 dress pattern)... it's all going to be wearable mock-ups until I can afford the wool and heavy silk lining for the winter coat.
I'm going to try a bit of a trick. Start with the skirt for my wearable mock-up. Then a sleeveless shirt. Basically break down the process of doing all of the pattern adjustments into wearable steps. At least that's the theory that I'm working with.
Because, by this time next summer, I'm hoping I'll be able to make a raincoat out of West Coast Ghana Wax Print. Out of something that started as a 1950's dress pattern.
I can't believe (OK, I can, but honestly) you lost subscribers because you talked about a children's book. I'm so sorry you had to go through that.
- Cathy (&, accidently, Steve), Ottawa/Bytown
This sounds like a wonderful plan! Oh Ms.Cathy I am working on having the patience for such a project. Such a smart thing to do to plan it all out like this. I think that is sometimes why I’m not thrilled with my projects, I don’t put enough thought and planning into them. Alway wanting instant gratification. I’m working on it!
@@SewSewDrew Same here on wanting the instant gratification. The frustration, she is real. I want the wardrobe, and I want it now...
I'm thinking if I can work out the details for stuff like waist and full-bust-adjustments (38FF, so I need to make friends with the process... le sigh). If I can manage through that, working with one pattern, then I'll have a bodice block from the 50's.
Fit is the hardest of sewing demons to work through. And we're so used to baggy mass produced clothing that we don't know what it looks like on our own bodies.
We'll both get there. Eventually. Who knew that trying to read drag-lines on the mock-up was such a pickle of a dilemma.
Cheers to the process...
I think all artists feel the way you do about being a beginner, but the number one way to get through it is to just start doing things you don't feel prepared for yet. I'm definitely absolutely guilty of being like "I am going to do a project that is going to be so above my current skill level" and while I'm usually don't end up with something that's perfect, or even good, I know I would never have learned a bunch of skills that I now have if I hadn't just decided to take the plunge even if I didn't feel ready, and those are the projects that I've hands-down learned from the most.
Reading this comment I definitely had a 💡 moment. And thought of a project I would love to complete but have been too afraid to attempt. This is really good advice. ❤️
@@SewSewDrew [shia labouf voice] Just... DO IT
This dress turned out beautiful! Also don't let anyone get to you! go at your own pace, you're fantastic!
Thank you!
I’m a self taught sewer and watch a lot of videos ! I’m hard on myself also and there is plenty I still don’t know and want to hurry it up and be really good! Your doing great your work comes out beautiful
Thank you 😊
Wonderful! I really enjoy your videos, and I agree that people who would be offended by the representation comment don't need to be here. :)
The dress,is so cute, and looks so pretty on you!
You are right your skills and your personal 'voice' are refining wonderfully. I really enjoyed this video, the sewing, but most importantly your story/opinions in the vlogging. Great job!
Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave feedback ❤️
Editing is exactly the reason I haven’t done a channel really. Any tips there??
People forget when commenting online that a real person is reading the comments. Someone who has feelings too. I always try to use grace and kindness when Im speaking online. Miscommunications still happen because people dont know who I am, but they are less.
I think I editing is a skill that takes time to learn the mechanics of but the true difficult part about editing is finding your own style and the story you want to tell with the footage that you have to work with. The more you do it the more you will know this before you even begin filming a video and that helps with setting up shots for the footage you will need. I’m almost 3 years in and I feel like I’m just finding my voice. That’s why my older videos are all over the place as far as style goes ♥️ Hope that helps ♥️
I need tissue. Loved this video.
You have supported and cheered for me from the start. Please know that’s not unnoticed ❤️
My pleasure. Questions: what type of fabric is your stripped skirt. Also did you make your skirt.
@@secundrabeasley855 it’s a very lightweight cotton from Joan I think it’s called chambray ❤️
Thanks for the reply!
There’s so many beautiful quilting cotton patterns. Do you think it works for clothing like summer dresses?
I do! I use a lot of quilting cotton especially when I first started sewing I didn’t want to waste expensive fabric
You can correct your mistake is a big step forward enjoy the process.
Thank you 😊
I'd like to give a different way to look at the "don't like" check marks. It is entirely possible that some of them come from people who the algorithm funneled to you. People who only checked that box because they don't want the algorithm to give them *more* garment sewing videos. Maybe they are quilters or some other related craft.
It may not be in any way connected to you or the quality of your work.
BTW I *love* your projects so far. You seem to have a real eye for fabric and design. You have the somewhat rare ability to not get overly distracted by a pretty print... which sometimes distracts from a final garment. (Speaking for my own personal taste, that is. Everyone has their own, perfectly valid, sense of style.)
Not that I don't like some prints, like this one.
Thank you that’s a great perspective I didn’t necessarily think of. I hope you share more with us here!
Overall good job just don't like the dark pockets on the chest.
In think you are lovely.
And I think you are far to kind ❤️
You lost followers for being happy about representation at the library?! That’s shocking. I live in an area that’s extremely diverse in race, religion, ethnicity, etc. Its wonderful to be in a community with so many different cultures.
Also, that striped shirt is gorgeous on you.
Thank you. I live in a small town outside of a big city. It’s not very diverse that is why seeing the book surprised me. but I shouldn’t have been where I live the people are really good people. I’m grateful for that.
You know, I wasn't going to comment on this and I don't know what you said in your other video that pissed people off. I wanted to just make the comment that if you scratch just below the surface the media goes out of their way to divide. By color, race, religion, politics and every single way they can. Call me a conspiracy theorist but the fortune 500 companies have jumped on the bandwagon too.
I'm convinced that it's done on purpose and I'm so sad that more people aren't waking up to it. They let differences divide. Most people are good people. We just want to go to work and provide for our families, love one another and division plays no part in who we interact with on a daily basis. I never understood why it made a difference how much melanin one has in their skin anyway. Seems kinda dumb to me. Wonder if it, or any of the "ism's" would even be an issue if wasn't being chirped in our ears all day long. There is a reason they call TV "programming" It is literally doing just that. Best thing I've ever done for myself was deciding not to watch TV 18 years ago. I haven't turned it on one single time in these 18 years. Maybe if more people could turn it off they would see that all this hate and division not coming from them but from people who have the sole purpose of dividing. They are being told what to think, say, act etc.
I love your videos and I'll keep watching. I'm not a beginner sewist but I do enjoy watching you sew.
Your voice is so calming and I like the patterns you've picked.
God Bless.
Thank you for taking the time for such a thoughtful comment. I will say I think our differences do matter because we haven’t settled our past in regards to how how much melanin in one’s skin or country of origin or identity that differentiates in any way from what was considered the desired standard played a part in human experience and suffering. I personally feel if we face it head on, together, acknowledging all that has happened and actively choose to change the trajectory we could. And I hope for my children someday we do. I agree that most humans are good and all have the same goals. To live a life where they feel seen, respected, safe, and able to pursue their path without roadblocks in place because of whatever label society says fits them. But there are bad apples in every bunch. However I am still so hopeful the good ones won’t spoil. People leave me comments here everyday that let me know there is still so much good in people and you don’t have to look far for it. Just in the right direction.
God Bless you. ♥️
I’m so happy that this was the first video I chose when searching up a specific pattern I wanted to see and how it was accomplished.. although this isn’t the same pattern I’m using but same era, your thoughts are similar to mine and what I was thinking and feeling today. Which is why I was searching for a video to help me step by step with the pattern but I actually needed to hear someone else on their sewing journey and be reminded that we all start somewhere that will eventually lead us to success and accomplishments we want to see. We are both on the road of success… no matter the obstacles we face even if it’s ourselves, we don’t lose sight of the goal or dream we want to accomplish. Thank you for your honesty.. your authenticity and simply trying to do your best. Best of luck and wishes! ✨🙏🏼🌟⭐️🤍
I’m so happy you found this video too. Things have a way of working themselves out don’t they? wish you so well on your sewing journey. That am learning is a journey of self in so many different ways. A sewing journey is at best only half about the actual sewing. Where ever you are in it I wish you so well and if I can help with your pattern in any way my email is in the description. Thank you for watching and taking the time to leave your thoughts. ♥️Drew
Right away you made me laugh. I was surprised at the actual pattern in southwest from the 1940s. I thought you were just finding a new one which is really cool but at the same time is a bummer for me because how am I supposed to find one like that just kidding OK let’s go.
You are too funny! I hope you stick around here!
O’ who loves vintage especially 1940s and 1950s?! And who wears it?
I kind of wish you’d be talking about how to make this dress, but I suppose I just not sure how to build up the confidence to buy a pattern and fabric and make a dress 👗 I did make a full arm, pleated skirt, renaissance festival, dress with tapestry fabric bodice attached lined it was really hard. My husband helped me a lot and I drink wine and cried even call me at work a few times to help me Brooke a lot of needles so I suppose if I could make that I could make another dress call
You totally could!! And this is one of my first videos. One of the first dresses I made that was actually wearable. I don’t think I had the confidence to “teach” when I was so clueless. Which I often still am. Thank you for watching! ♥️
Good points you discussed.im learning and i need to learn how to use a pattern! And vintage patterns- omg I was excited about this one I have and size 12 is actually an 8? Q how do I expand a vintage pattern?
Great work! Why the blue pocket? Umm no
4:44 ohh 👻 Guardian listening! So many times this is happened when I will say something like a statement you know like three words and then all sudden the TV will see it right after my husband has been freaked out so many times this is happened in the car or when we’re watching TV and I’ll say unique word, then they say that word. So I’ve learned that if you hear something like all this book and you know, you should read the book but you don’t do it or somebody tells you to get a massage or take a yoga class and then you keep telling yourself you should do it for like exercise and then you keep hearing it over and over do it do it do it take action ha
