It was very spare of the moment! Definitely a fun experiment and looking forward to doing more (which I'll be sure to advertise haha) But hope you liked this inaugural live stream!
@@VintageonTap Yay, my fault, i had somehow not followed you on instagram, i dunno, but all notifications set up now! So glad you have started doing livestreams, they are so much fun! I also just watched your video on weight and self esteem, i found it so honest and open and brave, and totally relevant to me as it is to so many people all over the world! Working my way through the rest of your videos and it's an absolute pleasure! I'm glad i found you so early in my sewing journey! Thanks! xx
I'm gutted that I missed this live. Having such a bad time with RUclips no longer letting me know when channels go live. Needing to remember to set my alarm all the time due to this, but missed out on this.
Oh no! I'm so sorry that RUclips is giving you troubles with notifications! But, there's definitely some lives planned in the future! Jose and I were just talking about it today, trying to figure out how often we should go live, what we should chat about during that time, all those good things! So definitely more coming soon :)
Tuna is adorable -- more Tuna! I respectfully disagree in my 60th year of sewing on machines that I have created many things, starting on my mother's 1961 all metal portable tank White brand that only has straight stitch with a reverse button, then inherited my grandmother' Singer model 66 [red eye] that was her gift for graduating from nurses' training as an R.N. in 1920; she was a nurse saving lives but could not even vote as an American born woman, until the US constitution was amended to allow women to vote! On those two machines were created a lined wool winter coat as her tailoring class project [1961], and two prom dresses for me in the mid to late 1960s, on to teaching high school attire in the 70s, and included lined satin draperies for my father's home after my mother died young at 46 -- all on machines that were bought new and carefully maintained from 1920 and 1961 to now. I bought a plastic portable Brother 18 years ago strictly for zigzag capabilities for mending but I appreciate it, not love it. The past 20 years I bought a few dozen portable mostly Singer model 99s to refurb and donate to a friend's mission/ministry in the villages of the Amazon jungle of Brazil, unrelated but similar to the "Tools for Self Reliance" project in Africa that I learned about afterward, at least a dozen machines into the refurb/donations I started for the Brazil trips [those villages were so remote there was no electricity, running water etc. That is why the 99s [most were from the 1920s and 30s] were the best candidates -- small enough to get from TX to Brazil in a single airline allowed suitcase, and light enough to be carried the last leg of the journey by donkey or by human, and fitted with a hand crank and spoked wheel, needed no power except by the human recipients! This allowed the wife of each lead mission couple to help the villagers keep their rotation based clothing donations in repair. My DVM friend and his MD brother made the machine deliveries for me, as it was their church's overseas ministry project 2X/yr and they went to provide medical care to the villagers and their livestock while there. So rewarding.
Thank you so much for your thoughtful comment-- and very interesting journey you shared! From what I've seen, it can sometimes be down to a particular machine's journey-- the one I restored was in bad shape when I got it that it makes me wonder what it had been through prior to me finding it at the thrift store! I hope all vintage machines can have the long life you described in your comment!!
I really love how authentic you are! Your sewing ups and downs are so relatable! Love it all!
Thank you so much!! That means a lot :)
