Lisa, thank you so much for highlighting my channel! That was so unexpected and generous of you! Also, as far as your autumn sewing plans, the vogue coat in the navy wool with the navy fleece for the collar would be amazing. I'm loving all your content. It's been a great year watching you!
Thanks Lisa for turning me on to more sewing channels! I plan on watching them all eventually and I started with keper & twill and voice of a creative. I love learning new skills and it's so awesome to be able to watch vlogs. Thank you!
Wonder video. I have run through and subscribed to all of the vlogers so I can watch even more sewing! I had already discovered Kiper and Twill but all others are new to me. I love Tomcat’s video I watched. Now back to watch the rest and see what they are up to 😁
Hi, I loved your video, and your suggestion to watch another bloggers is great. I love to see all the videos about sewing, because all of you are inspiring me to start sewing again; I stopped sewing many years ago, because of the decease of my first husband, but when I started watching all the sewing videos I felt so motivated that I began to sew again, now I am sewing small projects, but I expect to make bigger things in the future. By the way, all your fabrics are awesome and the patterns you are going to use are beautiful. Keep doing all the beautiful things you do, and thanks for sharing.
I'm already a Voice of a Creative subscriber but I did check out TomKat Stitchery's fall lookbook and subscribed - always glad to find a RUclipsr in the US (or Canada) as their fabric sources are more convenient for me to buy from than the UK. I also subscribed to Button and Pip - I love her enthusiasm. Thanks Lisa for promoting these channels...so nice of you to do that!
I love so much when you do these. You're giveaways are so generous and I always find a few channels I really love. My favorite so far is tomkat stitchery. I may watch a few more after the kiddos are in bed 😊
That blue fleece is beautiful. The combo is a lovely idea 💡. All of you selections for coats are great. I do have to admit turtle necks are my favorite when showcasing necklaces.
I love that you do this Lisa ☺️ Not only is it just a great example of the kind spirit of our sewing community, but also I love finding new vloggers to follow - this time I’m following TomKat Stitchery and Heather Handmade. Keep up the inspiring content!
Great plans Lisa!!! Can't wait to see them, and I love the inspiration! I must start thinking of autumn/winter sewing!! Once I'm back on both feet perhaps! 😂 Xx
Great choices, Lisa! I'm so excited for Fall sewing. And thanks for introducing us to other vloggers! I visited TomKat Stitchery and watched her 6 Styles of the Jenny Trousers. It's so nice to see how other people are putting these outfits together!
I don't know how you find all these great sewing vloggers! But I really appreciate that you do and share with us. TV, whats that? I just watch sewing vlogs now! I have been through about half the list and subscribed to them. I commented to Voice of a Creative. I sooo love looking at patterns with my youtube friends. So many videos, so many vloggers, so little time! I will check out the rest of your list when I get more time. Thanks so much for sharing!
Oh I SO know what you mean about your SewJo! This is such a good idea to keep you motivated. I love the coat ideas Lisa 🧥🙌🏼 Can’t wait to see 👀 . Thankyou so much for including me in your new sewing youtubers . I’ve found so many new people to follow from your suggestions. Thanks for sharing all these fabulous suggestions. Literally loving this sewing tribe we are creating ❤️ Keep sewing ✌🏼 Xx
Lovely of you to encourage the new vloggers; lovely for us to have a tiny taste of their blogging style.So far I have watched 5, liked them all and subscribed to 3.
Thanks for linking all these new to me channels. I’m now subscribed to Heather Handmade, Kepler & Twill, TomKat Stitches and Voice of a Creative. Now to binge watch them all...
Hi Lisa. You are such a ray of sunshine. I really enjoy your enthusiasm; it is wonderful. So excited for you to get into coat/jacket/blazer construction; you will love the process and end results! My vote is for the blue/navy wool in the V8841 as it is a straight forward sew with "wow" factor that can be styled in so many ways. Love the shoulder to hem....clean lines and the profile is classic. Your pick for an over collar is perfect. I have two versions; light gray wool/silk herringbone for spring/fall and navy wool for fall/winter and so versatile. Love both. Made the size 8 with a very slight pattern alteration at the shoulders and a little modification to the sleeve cap. My one suggestion is to buy a clapper and good pressing cloth (or silicone sheet) if you don't already have them. Pressing, steam and clapper give that professional finish especially on coats/jackets, etc. (Ask me how I know :>) Will be looking forward to seeing your fall and winter creations. Cheers and happy sewing. JoAn
Nard Ackinon Thanks for all the advice! I do need to get a clapper- and I have enough purple fabric leftover from last year to do a bit of a muslin and figure out the right size before I cut into that beautiful wool!
thanks for introducing me to more vloggers! I visited all of them and have subscribed to voice of a creative, sewing for the soul, keper & twill, button & pip and heather handmade!
This video was so helpful for my Fall Sewing.. Great Pattern Picks....Thank you so much for all of the new youtuber/vloggers. I subscribed to them all :) One of my favs is Kealy of Voice of a Creative!!! I absolutely love her channel!!!
I have previously seen Voice of a Creative. I love Japan fabric hauls. I would love to go there. I subscribed to Faodail Creation. I love her sewing tutorials. Thanks for introducing us to new vloggers
I love your enthusiasm! Especially when you asked if we wanted to see your knitting. I also loved the podcast love you shared. I knew several but love discovering new channels. Thanks for all you do!!
Love, love, love the fabrics. Go for a big collar coat which would be cool. The tartan retro fabric is really stunning. Black crepe wide leg with high waist is a must. Happy sewing 💕
I like all of your fall plans. Getting ready to work out a plan. I pulled out fabrics the other day. My sewing machine broke while I was visiting my son’s family and I had a whole suitcase of fabric to sew up my summer plan and baby clothes: Since I had to wait to get back home a month later I didn’t get any of them made. Summer fabrics will wait till next spring and now on to fall. Thanks for the new list of bloggers. I watched Hide and Silk grade up a pattern which was very helpful and I subscribed! I also had just subscribed to Voice of a Creatve 2 days ago. Looking forward to checking the others out.
I love the bold plaid for the mini skirt! The colors are great fall/winter colors, and you will be able to pair it with many wardrobe staples. I agree that black pants is the best use for that beautiful crepe. No opinion on the coats. I’m in south Louisiana, US and today it was 95 degrees. Winter coats last for years and years. Can’t wait to see your makes!
Hi Lisa, I watched a video from Voice of a Creative, keeper and twill, button and pip, and hide and silk. All good. I subscribed to a few. I especially liked Button and Pip. Thank you for entering me in your contest. Congratulations for reaching 6000 viewers. I enjoy your vlogs.
Thank you so much Lisa for the feature!! When I saw my video pop up it was such a surprise. It’s very true what you say, when you post a video you don’t know if anyone will see it. Congratulations on reaching 6k subscribers ❤️
Love these new people Button and Pip is so enthusiastic and I loved that goose dress on Keper and twill. I held my breath as the sewing for the soul host sewed over her pins though!! I was already following voice of a creative! Thanks Lisa well done on your 6k
I enjoy seeing what everyone’s sewing plans are, I’m so excited for Fall! Went over to TomKat Stitchery and viewed her September Capsule Plans. Need to gear up on my own sewing!
Thanks for making us discover new channels! I just discovered and subscribed to Heather Handmade, I love her short tutorials! It was fun also to travel around other vloggers and see their makes. Good luck with all the fall sewing! Would love to see your version of the Sapporo 😍
Lovely overview - thank you! Pardon me if you've already done this, but I'd love to see a video on how you decide what quantities of fabric to buy when you don't have a project in mind. Your stash is wonderful. I don't have much of a stash other than sale remnants I couldn't pass up - because I don't buy unless I know how much I'll need. I'd love to hear your thoughts and whether you have any guidelines for amounts. Thanks again!
Thank you so much for offering this giveaway! I visited and loved Heather Handmade's lip welt pocket, that was so creative! I saw Sewing for the Soul's tutorial on the Batwing Top, now I need one in my life. Lastly I visited TomKat Stitchery's channel and saw her 3 ways she styled one dress pattern, very cute.
Hi Lisa, I'm loving your six pieces for fall 👍. Your fabrics are as gorgeous as ever and oh my... I adore the coat fabric and that gorgeous fir type fabric to pair with it....that's going to be fab I think 👌. I would love to be included In this giveaway and have subscribed to TomKatStitchery and SewingForTheSole and have loved watching them 💝. I am subscribed to most of the others....just need more time in the day to watch them 😉. Have to say that your baby cardigan is looking so cute and lovely...some little girl is going to look amazing 💞. I don't knit so I'm in awe of your makes 😵. Keeping my fingers crossed as I love Blackbird fabrics and this would be so lovely to receive. Thanks so much Lisa and congratulations on your amazing amount of subscriber's in such a short time 😀🎉😘
Congratulations on your 6K subscribers! Truly well deserved! This was a great haul and I truly look forward to seeing each of your pieces made up! Good luck on your projects and good luck to all the new RUclipsr’s!
Great idea for the giveaway! I love Voice of Creativity and Tomkat Stitchery. I visited them both and loved their style. I look forward to seeing more from both of them!
Hi Lisa - first time commenting here :) I love watching your videos - you're inspiring me to work on my sewing craftsmanship and start making some wardrobe pieces! You're so sweet to have a give away that helps spread the word of new RUclips sewist! I thought TomKat Stitchery's style was gorgeous in her Jenny Trousers video, and couldn't believe I was the first to comment on Heather Handmade's sweet little baby shoes tutorial. Looking forward to seeing what you decide to make for the Fall.
I’m always happy to find new sewing channels for inspirations and tips. I already subscribe to one of the channels you posted however I checked out Heather Handmade, Button & Pip, Keper and Twill and Voice of a Creative. I did find one I subscribed to and was very excited to find a new free pattern from Deere and Doe I’ve not heard of and a tutorial on how to make leather handles for a tote bag. I’m printing out the pattern today and will be trying it. I left some love for the sewists.
Great video. I’ve also been inspired buy aritzia this season, thank you for all the great patterns recommendations. Thank you also for all the new volgers. I visited sewing for the soul I loved how she did the wrap dress tutorial. As well as Keeper and twill. She’s given me the confidence to start planning a jacket in the near future. Much needed for the impending Canadian winter. Thank you and Blackbird fabrics for this chance to win!
Love all your ideas, patterns and fabrics for your fall makes!! Everything you decide to make always looks fabulous on you! Congratulations on hitting 6000 subscribers....you are one of favorites!! I don't knit myself, but your items look very interesting and I love the colors you have chosen!!
Lisa, I’m so glad to have found your RUclips channel. It’s so inspiring! I visited Sewing for the Soul and loved her DIY infinity dress tutorial and plan to follow her on Insta too. I’ve followed Heather Handmade for a while and enjoyed her circle skirt tutorial since I plan to make one yet this fall. It looks so easy! But, I’m most excited about Whitney’s new channel TomKat Stitchery since she is a seamstress in my local area! I can’t wait to see her work-to-weekend makes at the end of the month!
Thank you for the recommendations Lisa. I have subscribed to all of them as it’s so refreshing to watch new sewing vlogs! I particularly love hide and silk and tomcat! So inspirational x
I'm also wanting to make a mini skirt this fall - I think I'd wear it so much. :) Thanks for doing a giveaway! I watched/commented on some videos by Heather Handmade and Sewing for the Soul - so fun!
Thank you again for sharing more sew-ists' vlogs!! I'm excited to have found and followed more. I'm planning my fall and winter wardrobe, but it's unseasonably hot here again today and I feel more like sewing summer clothing rather than winter!
I think it's wonderful that you are going to make a coat. I am a novice sewist and I had three disasters in a row and I am now making a tote! So, good luck to you and thanks for the video.
Loved your fall makes video and I got some fresh ideas for my own plans. Thanks for the chance at a gift from Blackbird Fabrics. I just received an order from there today and everything is gorgeous! It's great to see new sewing videos on You tube and I really liked Button and Pip.
Such great pattern and fabric pieces! I love that plaid with a pop of colour!! Congrats on 6000! Yay for a giveaway ;) I subbed to all of your listed vloggers and commented on a few. I plan on watching more video from the rest today while I sew :) so happy to find new ladies to watch!!
Thanks for the new vlog sites. I always like visiting new sites and supporting new vloggers. I visited all the sites and commented on most. Like you said, it's got to be challenging to know if people are actually watching and what they think or like to watch. I tend to be rather chatty so I like vloggers that like that as well combined with those that sew more my style.
A great video again love all your choices for the makes you hope to do .the knitting was very interesting the sock yarn was very interesting we can't get yarn like that in the UK .Paton's don't do the same yarns in this country .Nice to see you again 😁👕👗👖👚
I keep seeing beautiful versions of the Wiksten Kimono too and it gives me so many ideas! I think a wool one would be really useful. I love the plaid wool for a simple skirt. I see that going with all the tops and jackets. Thanks for the giveaway. I subscribed to Voice of a Creative and I will check out the others this week.
I love your Autumn plans and fabric choices. I visited the HIde and Silk and Button and Pip vlogs. I always appreciate when you introduce us to new sewing vloggers and the chance to win a gift card from Blackbird Fabrics. Wow! I love the fabrics carried by Blackbird and there’s a lot I could do with the gift certificate. :-) Cynthia
Congrats on 6k subscribers! I admire your desire and ability to take on making a blazer and a coat for the fall season! 🤩 My vote is for using the colored tartan fabric for the skirt. I recently stumbled across the Voice of a Creative podcast prior to this post, but I became a subscriber to TomKat Stitchery on your recommendation!
Go Lisa!! Such cute picks. I will be interested to watch your coat construction! I vote for the “wild” miniskirt, adorable! You’re such a peach to feature new channels.💕
Congratulations on 6000 😀 that's great! I will have to watch again to check out the different patterns for fall but you can never go wrong with classic pants, blouse and blazer. They can be dressed up and down and side ways LOL
Hi Lisa I hope all is well and your girls are doing fine in school, I believe your mini skirt will look wonderful with the first fabric you showed us but si tu veux faire boum! Go with the dots! LOL. Love those coat patterns very hard to decide but with that nave blue wool it will be stunning. I already was a subscriber with Voice of creativity and Keeper and Twill... thank you for all the suggestions I have more vlog to look at! Have a nice day! Merci et à la prochaine. Christine
Congrats on well over 6000 subscribers. Love your vlogs, especially that you're in TO, almost a neighbour (Belleville)! I'm just getting back into sewing my own clothes again and love your inspirations. That's for new podcasters will check them out!!
Lisa, Thank you so much for the list of vloggers! My list has really dwindled. Two quit, two opened online fabric stores and rarely vlog now, and one went back to work. I’m dying for some content. So far I like TopKat Stitchery. Thanks again!
Many thanks for the mention! (Hide & Silk). Planning to do more leather stuff as bags are my main interest though anything that comes under the category of sewing etc I love :) Love your gorgeous fabrics! On my phone atm so will watch again and make more useful comments haha!
Everything old is new again!! True in fashion. You got me in stitches channel showed patterns I know I made up in the 60's and 70's. Biggest plus back then were dresses became much simpler in design and easier to learn sewing than the gathered and fitted styles prior. Enjoyed visiting new sewing channels. Would love for you to continue featuring new channels on a frequent basis.
Hi Lisa! I love your videos-I've been wanting to make a coat for myself too, but, have started making the bomber jacket by Lisette patterns for my daughter. I'm finding myself starting to reach for my knitting as well this time of year. I am currently knitting all my WIP's - socks mainly that need mates! and some Christmas gifts! I am following Keper & Twill and Heather Handmades. Thank you!
Awesome selection! I’m inspired! I could not find a blazer that fit me well, and I’m not brave enough yet to make one so I went to thrift store and got 2 for $2.50 each. I can’t wait to see yours! I may try an easy coat in inexpensive material. Thanks for the new you tubers!
I‘m already following Voice of a Creative and I will have a Look at your other suggestions, because as much as I love sewing I like watching sewing videos😍
Hi Lisa, you have selected great key pieces for fall. Lots of wonderful patterns and fabric choices. I think the faux animal print mini skirt would actually be a versatile make. Enjoyed Hide and Silk's fabric haul, TomKat Stitchery's pattern review, and Keper and Twill's toile fitting info as well as the enthusiasm for sewing of all of the other vloggers. Thanks for sharing.
Hey Lisa, love the coat patterns you showed! And as far as trousers go, I think you should go for the bold ones (was it the second one?) Also I really liked voice of a creatives video on her off pattern collection!
Hi Lisa, members of your wonderful community have been recently subscribing to my channel. I would like to say a big thank you for recommending me, you're such a sweetheart. You have come such a long way on your sewing journey and you're inspiring me to try some dress making again. I have the fabrics and patterns, just need to get working on some again. I have this pussy bow blouse i have been wanting to make for AGES. Once again thanks for the love 💜💙💜 to you and your wonderful community.
COATS! My family lived in Cooperstown, NY for three years - our good friend Joe referred to NY state as “The Land of Many Coats!”. After my first winter I learned that there would be some people who never saw me in anything but a coat. I needed many coats! We live in Richmond, VA now where the weather is quite different - hurricanes, tornados and high humidity. There are some winters where I never put a coat on (fleece jackets only). I think you are In “The Land of Many Coats”!
Hi Lisa always so nice of you to suggest new people to watch, I subbed to voice of a creative, I loved her blackwoods. I also got some new ideas from your always great choices! And thanks to Caroline and you for the giveaways I hope I win because I always look at her shop by didn’t order jet!
Hi Lisa, I have to tell you something funny. I just watched 101 Dalmations with my grandchildren last week. The one with Glenn Close playing Cruella De Vil. As soon as you put up the black and white animal print, I immediately thought about Cruella loving Anita's dalmation with her fur obsession. Having said all that, I really think that the skirt in that print would be fun and you could certainly pull it off. I haven't seen anything on you that hasn't looked good. It would really be kitchy, no pun intended. Ok, now that I have exhausted you with my sense of humor, I really wanted to say that I really enjoy watching your vlog. Have a great day.
I've only watched Keper and Twill's first vlog so far, but I really liked her choice of patterns and am looking forward to seeing more of her vlogs and more of her makes.
This month's Burda Style (October) has lots of fab coat patterns. There's a lovely jacket in there that I love and want to make. That blue wool is just gorgeous and that fleece is a fab match. I prefer the two vogue patterns especially the 8841 but the shorter 8862 might give you more wear. I know your weather is much colder but I find I grab a 3/4 coat rather than the full length ones. That herringbone is so luscious! I think you should go wild with the skirt - the blue would definitely be better for the blazer! That mustard print is so pretty but I do love that red and it would look stunning with black drapey trousers! I haven't knitted for a while but really fancy starting a knitting project...so many things to make and not enough time! Edit I subscribed to lots of the channels and commented...but I forget which ones I commented on haha! It's age!! Ok checked - and it's Keper and Twill and Sewing for the Soul. There will be others but we're in the middle of packing up to head home after our vacation! Many thanks for doing the heads up to vloggers...I discovered some great ones in this batch xx
I am so inspired by your list and fabric choices and I absolutely love the way you are celebrating your success with other vloggers! Thank you so much for taking the time to introduce us to all of them. I am now following: Voice of a Creative, TomKat Stitchery, Keper and Twill, Button and Pip and Heather Handmade. Please enter me in your giveaway.
Thank you for sharing! I binge watched Tomkat stitchery 😊 how do you find all these awesome sewing vloggers? I’m always on the hunt for this type of content 😍
I left some love for Heather Handmade, Keper and Twill, and Sewing For the Soul! These people definitely need some more recognition for what they do. I especially liked Heather Handmade's spiderweb skirt tutorial! Good luck to everyone else who enters the giveaway!
Black crepe ankle length pants. The blue check in the blazer. Love the monochrome animal print. A cute skirt for sure in that one. I’ll check out the new vloggers but I already subscribe to voice of a creative who is really nice. X
Wow - congrats on 6000 subscribers, you will be doing tutorials in that RUclips filming space before you know it! Loved seeing your ideas for fall and thanks for introducing some new bloggers. I've particularly enjoyed, - and subscribed to -TomKat Stitchery.
I have made the McCalls hooded coat in grey plaid fleece. I get a ton of compliments on the coat. The peplem is flattering. But be aware that the hood is huge and doesn't stay up. I am going to remake it in wool. but a hoodless version.
I always look forward to your giveaway videos and not just for the giveaways. I am always on the lookout for new channels to subscribe to and your videos help with that. I am subscribed to most on this list but I just checked out Sewing for the Soul. I hope she uploads more but I like her Batwing top video.
Lisa so good! I watched about 7 of these channels in the last week. I commented on voice of a creative since I am keen to make some Blackwood cardigans.
Thanks for the giveaway opportunity. My favourite sewing videos are short how-to ones. I especially liked the videos from Hide and Silk, and from Heather Handmade.
I checked out Voice of a Creative. I especially liked her video on a trip to Japan. Now I'm fantasizing about going to Japan and making a capsule wardrobe for it... imagine the instagram photo opportunities!!
Lisa, thank you so much for highlighting my channel! That was so unexpected and generous of you! Also, as far as your autumn sewing plans, the vogue coat in the navy wool with the navy fleece for the collar would be amazing. I'm loving all your content. It's been a great year watching you!

Love the first plaid for a mini skirt, which looks like something I would have worn in junior high in the early 70’s ❤️
This video was so helpful for my Fall Sewing.. Great Pattern Picks....Thank you so much for all of the new youtuber/vloggers. I subscribed to them all :) One of my favs is Kealy of Voice of a Creative!!! I absolutely love her channel!!!

Hi Lisa I stopped over to see Kealy and her vog and also Whitney and subscribed to hers. Thanks for introducing more great sewing resources
I love your enthusiasm! Especially when you asked if we wanted to see your knitting. I also loved the podcast love you shared. I knew several but love discovering new channels. Thanks for all you do!!
Thanks, Lynette! 😘

Donna Kraft Oh no! A broken sewing machine, and a suitcase full of fabric-. That’s the worst!
I love the bold plaid for the mini skirt! The colors are great fall/winter colors, and you will be able to pair it with many wardrobe staples. I agree that black pants is the best use for that beautiful crepe. No opinion on the coats. I’m in south Louisiana, US and today it was 95 degrees. Winter coats last for years and years.

You know, it was almost that hot here, too, today! It’s been a very warm September so far in Toronto.

I love your fabric choices to make your 6 pieces. I think either of the plaids would be nice for your skirt and the animal print would be fun! tfs
Lovely overview - thank you! Pardon me if you've already done this, but I'd love to see a video on how you decide what quantities of fabric to buy when you don't have a project in mind. Your stash is wonderful. I don't have much of a stash other than sale remnants I couldn't pass up - because I don't buy unless I know how much I'll need. I'd love to hear your thoughts and whether you have any guidelines for amounts. Thanks again!
Thank you so much for offering this giveaway! I visited and loved Heather Handmade's lip welt pocket, that was so creative! I saw Sewing for the Soul's tutorial on the Batwing Top, now I need one in my life. Lastly I visited TomKat Stitchery's channel and saw her 3 ways she styled one dress pattern, very cute.
Hi Lisa, I'm loving your six pieces for fall 👍. Your fabrics are as gorgeous as ever and oh my... I adore the coat fabric and that gorgeous fir type fabric to pair with it....that's going to be fab I think 👌. I would love to be included In this giveaway and have subscribed to TomKatStitchery and SewingForTheSole and have loved watching them 💝. I am subscribed to most of the others....just need more time in the day to watch them 😉. Have to say that your baby cardigan is looking so cute and lovely...some little girl is going to look amazing 💞. I don't knit so I'm in awe of your makes 😵. Keeping my fingers crossed as I love Blackbird fabrics and this would be so lovely to receive. Thanks so much Lisa and congratulations on your amazing amount of subscriber's in such a short time 😀🎉😘
Oh, ps, forgot to say I would go for the wild 😉😁
Thanks, Sally- consider yourself entered!
Congratulations on your 6K subscribers! Truly well deserved! This was a great haul and I truly look forward to seeing each of your pieces made up! Good luck on your projects and good luck to all the new RUclipsr’s!
Myra Lorraine Thanks, Myra! :)
Great idea for the giveaway! I love Voice of Creativity and Tomkat Stitchery. I visited them both and loved their style. I look forward to seeing more from both of them!
Hi Lisa - first time commenting here :) I love watching your videos - you're inspiring me to work on my sewing craftsmanship and start making some wardrobe pieces! You're so sweet to have a give away that helps spread the word of new RUclips sewist! I thought TomKat Stitchery's style was gorgeous in her Jenny Trousers video, and couldn't believe I was the first to comment on Heather Handmade's sweet little baby shoes tutorial. Looking forward to seeing what you decide to make for the Fall.
Emily H Thanks for commenting! I’m glad you found some new things to watch. :)
I’m always happy to find new sewing channels for inspirations and tips. I already subscribe to one of the channels you posted however I checked out Heather Handmade, Button & Pip, Keper and Twill and Voice of a Creative. I did find one I subscribed to and was very excited to find a new free pattern from Deere and Doe I’ve not heard of and a tutorial on how to make leather handles for a tote bag. I’m printing out the pattern today and will be trying it. I left some love for the sewists.
Christine Veert that’s great! I’m glad you found some surprises. 😘
Great video. I’ve also been inspired buy aritzia this season, thank you for all the great patterns recommendations.
Thank you also for all the new volgers. I visited sewing for the soul I loved how she did the wrap dress tutorial. As well as Keeper and twill. She’s given me the confidence to start planning a jacket in the near future. Much needed for the impending Canadian winter. Thank you and Blackbird fabrics for this chance to win!
Love all your ideas, patterns and fabrics for your fall makes!! Everything you decide to make always looks fabulous on you! Congratulations on hitting 6000 subscribers....you are one of favorites!! I don't knit myself, but your items look very interesting and I love the colors you have chosen!!
Patricia Husk Thanks so much, Patricia!
Lisa, I’m so glad to have found your RUclips channel. It’s so inspiring!
I visited Sewing for the Soul and loved her DIY infinity dress tutorial and plan to follow her on Insta too.
I’ve followed Heather Handmade for a while and enjoyed her circle skirt tutorial since I plan to make one yet this fall. It looks so easy!
But, I’m most excited about Whitney’s new channel TomKat Stitchery since she is a seamstress in my local area! I can’t wait to see her work-to-weekend makes at the end of the month!
Thanks, Marissa! I’m glad you found some inspiration!
Thank you for the recommendations Lisa. I have subscribed to all of them as it’s so refreshing to watch new sewing vlogs! I particularly love hide and silk and tomcat! So inspirational x
I'm also wanting to make a mini skirt this fall - I think I'd wear it so much. :) Thanks for doing a giveaway! I watched/commented on some videos by Heather Handmade and Sewing for the Soul - so fun!
Thank you again for sharing more sew-ists' vlogs!! I'm excited to have found and followed more. I'm planning my fall and winter wardrobe, but it's unseasonably hot here again today and I feel more like sewing summer clothing rather than winter!
It’s hot here, too! It’s totally still summer weather.
I think it's wonderful that you are going to make a coat. I am a novice sewist and I had three disasters in a row and I am now making a tote! So, good luck to you and thanks for the video.
S Douglas aw, I understand! Did you see my video about my first coat? It was a bit of a disaster.
Loved your fall makes video and I got some fresh ideas for my own plans. Thanks for the chance at a gift from Blackbird Fabrics. I just received an order from there today and everything is gorgeous! It's great to see new sewing videos on You tube and I really liked Button and Pip.
They really have the most lovely fabric.
Gday Lisa. Thanku for the shout out, you are a sweety. Go wild with the skirt. Love your key pieces you have chosen for fall. Thanku for sharing. XX
Such great pattern and fabric pieces! I love that plaid with a pop of colour!! Congrats on 6000! Yay for a giveaway ;) I subbed to all of your listed vloggers and commented on a few. I plan on watching more video from the rest today while I sew :) so happy to find new ladies to watch!!
Thanks for the new vlog sites. I always like visiting new sites and supporting new vloggers. I visited all the sites and commented on most. Like you said, it's got to be challenging to know if people are actually watching and what they think or like to watch. I tend to be rather chatty so I like vloggers that like that as well combined with those that sew more my style.
Just started follow Heather Handmade! Excited about your competition as well. Congratulations on 6.000! xx
Definitely the colorful tartan for that skirt!
Yay! I found Button and Pip, so fun to see her on youtube now and looking forward to following her journey! Lovely giveaway!
A great video again love all your choices for the makes you hope to do .the knitting was very interesting the sock yarn was very interesting we can't get yarn like that in the UK .Paton's don't do the same yarns in this country .Nice to see you again 😁👕👗👖👚
Too bad- the stretchy sock wool is brilliant!
I keep seeing beautiful versions of the Wiksten Kimono too and it gives me so many ideas! I think a wool one would be really useful. I love the plaid wool for a simple skirt. I see that going with all the tops and jackets. Thanks for the giveaway. I subscribed to Voice of a Creative and I will check out the others this week.
I love your Autumn plans and fabric choices. I visited the HIde and Silk and Button and Pip vlogs. I always appreciate when you introduce us to new sewing vloggers and the chance to win a gift card from Blackbird Fabrics. Wow! I love the fabrics carried by Blackbird and there’s a lot I could do with the gift certificate. :-) Cynthia
Congrats on 6k subscribers! I admire your desire and ability to take on making a blazer and a coat for the fall season! 🤩 My vote is for using the colored tartan fabric for the skirt. I recently stumbled across the Voice of a Creative podcast prior to this post, but I became a subscriber to TomKat Stitchery on your recommendation!
Go Lisa!! Such cute picks. I will be interested to watch your coat construction! I vote for the “wild” miniskirt, adorable! You’re such a peach to feature new channels.💕
How did I know you’d vote for the wild skirt?? 😂😂
Congratulations on 6000 😀 that's great! I will have to watch again to check out the different patterns for fall but you can never go wrong with classic pants, blouse and blazer. They can be dressed up and down and side ways LOL
Sideways, especially. 😂
Hi Lisa I hope all is well and your girls are doing fine in school, I believe your mini skirt will look wonderful with the first fabric you showed us but si tu veux faire boum! Go with the dots! LOL. Love those coat patterns very hard to decide but with that nave blue wool it will be stunning. I already was a subscriber with Voice of creativity and Keeper and Twill... thank you for all the suggestions I have more vlog to look at! Have a nice day! Merci et à la prochaine. Christine
Merci, Christine. Mes filles adorent l’ecole tous les jours- on a de la chance! ;)
Congrats on well over 6000 subscribers. Love your vlogs, especially that you're in TO, almost a neighbour (Belleville)! I'm just getting back into sewing my own clothes again and love your inspirations. That's for new podcasters will check them out!!
Our cottage is near Belleville. :)
Lisa, Thank you so much for the list of vloggers! My list has really dwindled. Two quit, two opened online fabric stores and rarely vlog now, and one went back to work. I’m dying for some content. So far I like TopKat Stitchery. Thanks again!
Glad to help you find new people!
Many thanks for the mention! (Hide & Silk). Planning to do more leather stuff as bags are my main interest though anything that comes under the category of sewing etc I love :) Love your gorgeous fabrics! On my phone atm so will watch again and make more useful comments haha!
Thanks Kathie ! I’ve just watched your fab videos and followed back ❤️ Xx
I loved the video from hide and silk on how to grade a pattern to a larger or smaller size!
Everything old is new again!! True in fashion. You got me in stitches channel showed patterns I know I made up in the 60's and 70's. Biggest plus back then were dresses became much simpler in design and easier to learn sewing than the gathered and fitted styles prior. Enjoyed visiting new sewing channels. Would love for you to continue featuring new channels on a frequent basis.
Will do !
Congrats on 6000! Rooting for you to reach 10k!
Thanks for telling me about TomKat Stitchery loved seeing her Sept. mini capsule plans.
Hi Lisa! I love your videos-I've been wanting to make a coat for myself too, but, have started making the bomber jacket by Lisette patterns for my daughter. I'm finding myself starting to reach for my knitting as well this time of year. I am currently knitting all my WIP's - socks mainly that need mates! and some Christmas gifts! I am following Keper & Twill and Heather Handmades. Thank you!
I’ll have to check out that bomber for my girls!
Awesome selection! I’m inspired! I could not find a blazer that fit me well, and I’m not brave enough yet to make one so I went to thrift store and got 2 for $2.50 each. I can’t wait to see yours! I may try an easy coat in inexpensive material. Thanks for the new you tubers!
I love thrifting, too! That’s always a great option.
I‘m already following Voice of a Creative and I will have a Look at your other suggestions, because as much as I love sewing I like watching sewing videos😍
Hi Lisa, you have selected great key pieces for fall. Lots of wonderful patterns and fabric choices. I think the faux animal print mini skirt would actually be a versatile make. Enjoyed Hide and Silk's fabric haul, TomKat Stitchery's pattern review, and Keper and Twill's toile fitting info as well as the enthusiasm for sewing of all of the other vloggers. Thanks for sharing.
I think it would be versatile, too!
Hey Lisa, love the coat patterns you showed! And as far as trousers go, I think you should go for the bold ones (was it the second one?) Also I really liked voice of a creatives video on her off pattern collection!
I love when you do this! Voice of a Creative makes such lovely dresses!
Hi Lisa, members of your wonderful community have been recently subscribing to my channel. I would like to say a big thank you for recommending me, you're such a sweetheart. You have come such a long way on your sewing journey and you're inspiring me to try some dress making again. I have the fabrics and patterns, just need to get working on some again. I have this pussy bow blouse i have been wanting to make for AGES. Once again thanks for the love 💜💙💜 to you and your wonderful community.
You’re welcome! I can’t wait to see that pussy bow blouse-- I’m sure it will be adorable!
COATS! My family lived in Cooperstown, NY for three years - our good friend Joe referred to NY state as “The Land of Many Coats!”. After my first winter I learned that there would be some people who never saw me in anything but a coat. I needed many coats! We live in Richmond, VA now where the weather is quite different - hurricanes, tornados and high humidity. There are some winters where I never put a coat on (fleece jackets only). I think you are In “The Land of Many Coats”!
I do really love a warm and cozy coat. ;)
Hi Lisa always so nice of you to suggest new people to watch, I subbed to voice of a creative, I loved her blackwoods. I also got some new ideas from your always great choices! And thanks to Caroline and you for the giveaways I hope I win because I always look at her shop by didn’t order jet!
I really liked sewing for the soul and heather handmade!
Love all your Fall ideas. I want to make a coat too....I’m having troubles deciding as well. The Berlin Coat is a current fav.
Oh, yes, that one is lovely, too!
Hi Lisa, I have to tell you something funny. I just watched 101 Dalmations with my grandchildren last week. The one with Glenn Close playing Cruella De Vil. As soon as you put up the black and white animal print, I immediately thought about Cruella loving Anita's dalmation with her fur obsession. Having said all that, I really think that the skirt in that print would be fun and you could certainly pull it off. I haven't seen anything on you that hasn't looked good. It would really be kitchy, no pun intended. Ok, now that I have exhausted you with my sense of humor, I really wanted to say that I really enjoy watching your vlog. Have a great day.
Ha ha! I love it- maybe that should be my Halloween costume this year, and I can wear the skirt. :):)
I've only watched Keper and Twill's first vlog so far, but I really liked her choice of patterns and am looking forward to seeing more of her vlogs and more of her makes.
What a great idea to pick six key pieces! I'm working on a coat this moment and I really love this kind of tailoring! I will be back next week 😁
This video has really put me in the mood for sewing a jacket or blazer. Now to find fabric.
Gail Louviere That’s the best part! :)
Thanks Lisa for introducing so many wonderful vloggers. I especially enjoyed Hide and Silk and you've got me in stitches. Hope I win the giveaway.
This month's Burda Style (October) has lots of fab coat patterns. There's a lovely jacket in there that I love and want to make. That blue wool is just gorgeous and that fleece is a fab match. I prefer the two vogue patterns especially the 8841 but the shorter 8862 might give you more wear. I know your weather is much colder but I find I grab a 3/4 coat rather than the full length ones. That herringbone is so luscious! I think you should go wild with the skirt - the blue would definitely be better for the blazer! That mustard print is so pretty but I do love that red and it would look stunning with black drapey trousers! I haven't knitted for a while but really fancy starting a knitting project...so many things to make and not enough time!
Edit I subscribed to lots of the channels and commented...but I forget which ones I commented on haha! It's age!! Ok checked - and it's Keper and Twill and Sewing for the Soul. There will be others but we're in the middle of packing up to head home after our vacation!
Many thanks for doing the heads up to vloggers...I discovered some great ones in this batch xx
Kathie Gadd Thanks for all the advice, Kathie! You’ve give me the motivation to go downtown today and get the new Burda. ;)
I am so inspired by your list and fabric choices and I absolutely love the way you are celebrating your success with other vloggers! Thank you so much for taking the time to introduce us to all of them. I am now following: Voice of a Creative, TomKat Stitchery, Keper and Twill, Button and Pip and Heather Handmade. Please enter me in your giveaway.
Thanks for exposing me to new sewist. I loved TomKat Stitchery’s fall look book.
Thank you for sharing! I binge watched Tomkat stitchery 😊 how do you find all these awesome sewing vloggers? I’m always on the hunt for this type of content 😍
I left some love for Heather Handmade, Keper and Twill, and Sewing For the Soul! These people definitely need some more recognition for what they do. I especially liked Heather Handmade's spiderweb skirt tutorial!
Good luck to everyone else who enters the giveaway!
Love this! I'm excited that buttonandpip has a youtube now! I've been following her on Instagram for awhile.
Black crepe ankle length pants. The blue check in the blazer. Love the monochrome animal print. A cute skirt for sure in that one. I’ll check out the new vloggers but I already subscribe to voice of a creative who is really nice. X
Wow - congrats on 6000 subscribers, you will be doing tutorials in that RUclips filming space before you know it! Loved seeing your ideas for fall and thanks for introducing some new bloggers. I've particularly enjoyed, - and subscribed to -TomKat Stitchery.
Robyn Jury Thanks, Robyn!
Great video, love your autumn wardrobe looking forward to seeing the makes
I have made the McCalls hooded coat in grey plaid fleece. I get a ton of compliments on the coat. The peplem is flattering. But be aware that the hood is huge and doesn't stay up. I am going to remake it in wool. but a hoodless version.
Good to know, thanks!
I always look forward to your giveaway videos and not just for the giveaways. I am always on the lookout for new channels to subscribe to and your videos help with that. I am subscribed to most on this list but I just checked out Sewing for the Soul. I hope she uploads more but I like her Batwing top video.
Great that you're playing it forward!!! I'm all about it.
Lisa so good! I watched about 7 of these channels in the last week. I commented on voice of a creative since I am keen to make some Blackwood cardigans.
Hi there. I enjoyed visiting the first two on the list and will try the others tomorow!
Great video Lisa! Congrats on the 6K! I really liked Voice of a Creative :)
Merci, Andreanne!
Cool idea for a give away, I found Faodail Creation, Heather Handmade, and the tomkat channel through this. And yours! I love finding new vloggers 😁
Thanks for the giveaway opportunity. My favourite sewing videos are short how-to ones. I especially liked the videos from Hide and Silk, and from Heather Handmade.
I checked out Voice of a Creative. I especially liked her video on a trip to Japan. Now I'm fantasizing about going to Japan and making a capsule wardrobe for it... imagine the instagram photo opportunities!!
PencilsandPancakes oh, wouldn’t that be amazing?
