    I have been sewing for almost 70 years, quilting for over 20. I love your approach for newbies...you dont assume that they know things that experienced sewists or quilters take for granted, like making a knot for hand sewing. You just fluidly include those instructions, not talking down to anyone. You're very thorough, but still make it fun and feel achievable for anyone. Keep up the great work! Im enjoying your channel😊

      Totally agree!! I've been sending your videos to friends who want to learn how to sew...but I've never taught anyone how to (I'm self-taught) and don't know how to teach it. Ha! Not only that, but your videos are helping me help them with how you instruct! Thank you for that!

    PLEASE keep the longer tutorials! I'm learning to sew properly by watching your tutorials! Your are a natural teacher and entertainer! I'd love to see how to make a cross-body bag with a flap and pockets! I made my own, but didn't like the results as much as I had hoped. Love your channel!

    I was making the duffle bags and had to walk away halfway through. I think the probably is the needle is dull. I'll go back tonight when I am not so irritated, LOL. I was screaming "use a green button." The clear was cute too. Sometimes I put a drop of clear nail polish on the finished button if I am worried about wear and tear. I had an "1850's" dress for work at Greenfield Village that when the snaps came off, we would use dental floss for strength to sew the snaps back on, best hack ever.

    Your nature is so perfect for keeping it light & fun, while sewing on the button “you didn’t know you were learning how to sew on a button today!” & the easy knot trick I didn’t know about until recently it’s so sweet you taught that too!

    Just started watching you, and I love how you explain in detail, but you don’t talk constantly and manically. You make it fun and relaxing and don’t talk about the project so much before, during and after, that I give up and go to something else. Like on Dragnet, “just the facts, ma’am”.
    Everyone has their own style, and their preference, and I prefer yours.

    You could get a eye glass string from the dollar tree and attach it to each side. Then you could have it around your neck at a festive or yard sales also hang it from rear view mirror.😊

    I'm new to your channel! I just came across you the other day. I'm glad I found you! I am going to try your sewing thread knot trick and the button sewing finishing knot. I usually wrap the matched up ends around the end of my finger and roll the thread with my thumb and then pull it tight (if that makes sense) and I get a pretty big knot. Your button sewing finish incorporates the separate thread wrapping I do around the threads under the button. Pretty nice method!!!

    Use dental floss when attaching the button instead of thread. It is stronger and won't require too many button hole passes.
