    Thanks so much for making this video when you clearly have a LOT going on, Jen! The camp your kids have been in together sounds AMAZING! Big sister help must have made a HUGE difference! Your IKEA skirt is so CUTE! Loving all your State Fair entries! Can't wait to hear what the judges think. I hope they consider that you're the designer on the entries that you designed yourself. You most definitely finished that very complicated sock!!! GO, Jen!!They are even Dinah approved!

    AWESOME sock - so happy you pulled it off so you can put them on!!!! 🤩 You're a star! Love the IKEA me-makes! I'm hopeful your "kids" had a fabulous time at camp. (Positive priceless memories). Cheers from Michigan. Take care & stay cool. 🧶

    A lot of people recommended your podcast to me! I really want to learn to sew a skirt to go with my hand knit sweaters. So, I’ve been spending my Saturday watching your episodes! Super inspiring 💛💛💛💛💛💛

    Go Iowa State Fair Jen!!!! Love that you embrace all the things and keep making. Your socks are fab (crazy that you finished in record time and I hope your wrists and hands are intact) as are all your entries and projects. Looking forward to your next video that will include your fair drop off. And yes to your sewing / Ikea fabric projects. You've inspired me to dust off my machine and sew again. Best to you and your family and all of your summer endeavors. Have fun!

    I have been a judge at our fair when my mom organized the home building. I looked at how the items best portrayed their own pattern. Loved that an apron won the best sewing. Kids sections were fun too.

    Hey, I am not tired of the Ikea fabrics, I had no idea they made such bright and sunny fabrics. Thanks for the info and keep it going!

    In your last video, you mentioned cutting your linen dress from selvedge to selvedge...usually a dress pattern is cut out with the grain of the fabric straight up and down. If it's a straight dress...not guys. If you cut it the other way, it could sag in weird ways. I've never used linen. Maybe it's different? Someone else here may know for sure. Good luck on your sewing adventures! I hope it gives you joy 😊

    Loving the mini pattern parade. So good to see some oldies but goodies. Also, I got sent some John Arbon Yarn in the color Golden Knob, and it looks exactly like your Warmthness. I was thinking when I got it that it was a very Jen Geigley color. 💛

    Excellent choices! Wowza colors! Good luck! It’ll be fun to see all the other entries as well! Sooo many creatives out there!
    Thanks for all the fun, and I keep looking at those S.West socks…mayyyybe I will “need” to make a pair (in neon, of course)!!!

    I love your entries for the State Fair! I hope you chose your colorwork sweater! It has the highlighter colors so coordinates well with the other entries and it is your design!!! I stopped in the IKEA in New Haven on my way back from Cape Cod and bought some fabric! I want to try and make a tote bag - now I just need to learn how to use the sewing machine I bought for my daughter ten years ago!!! Good luck at the fair!!!

    Did you get the sock done? The colors are SO you! I hope you had fun meeting up with your friend and handing in your submissions together. (That was yesterday in real time, right?) Anyway, I hope you have a good week and can’t wait to see the next one. Did you get the kitty tent at Ikea? I can’t remember. I’m wondering if one of mine would like it.

    As someone who can crochet, knit and now sew.. there isn't enough time to do all three now.

    Hi. The skirt looks great. Looks like the hem is lower at the front and shorter at the back

    I just wanted to tell you to stop talking and go knit those socks! Glad you finished them, they are gorgeous! You should come away with a ribbon or two with your other knits too. They are all uniquely you. Can’t wait to see what happens!

    I think you can take the gathers out and have a bit more fabric.

      Kismet! I am making a skirt out of the pink and red Ikea fabric too. It is on the cutting table right now.
