I'm 74. My grandma ironed everything. When I would visit she would let me iron. I liked it. I ironed pillowcases, handkerchiefs, etc. Thanks for your fun videos.
Hi Jen! It's so kind of you to a) notice where my subscriber count is, and b) encourage your viewers to give me the boost to break the 100K mark! I can't thank you enough for your interest and your support. And, BTW, I always smooth out the top edge of my sheets and pillow cases before tossing them into the dryer, but I didn't know that was hand ironing! Who knew that was a thing! I've been subscribed to your channel for quite a while now, and I will definitely subscribe to Bluegrass Dreams 2 Seams!
Jen, cute haircut! I remember my mother-in-law used to hand-iron. Thank you for shout out. I opened my messages and started reading. You are just full of surprises🥰 Thank you.
I watch Catherine Sews. So glad you are giving her a shout out. I’ve learned so much from both of you. I’ll have to watch Bluegrassdreams2seams510. Thanks for the info.
When you first mentioned "hand ironing" I thought you were talking about what I know as "finger pressing", which I've done a lot of when quilting. Learned something new! LOLOLOL...
Hi Jen: I didn't know there was a term "hand ironing" until your program. I will wash 100% cotton fabric and dry it in a hot dryer. Then, I'll take the (always) wrinkled fabric, spray it with water, "hand iron" it, and then roll it up for about 15 mins. before using a real iron on it. The wrinkles come out so much easier. Cotton wrinkles can be a real bear to get out, but this method works very, very well. Thanks for the new (old?) sewing term! Yes, praise God for Gov. DeSantis!!!!!! I'm so incredibly impressed with his leadership and God-given, Solomon-like wisdom in which he manages the state and sends human resources where needed - in state and out!!! (I was watching his press conferences for a year before moving here.) As you know, I'm a new FL transplant, but you'd be surprised at the number of Californians that wish DeSantis was the governor there. The current CA governor doesn't hold regular press conferences, doesn't give the CA citizens regular up-to-date news about what's going on - zero, zilch, nada info from him. Heaven only knows what Gavin 'Nuisance' actually does other than rub elbows with the rich and famous CA people, especially during a world-wide pandemic when he tells his people to stay home. So glad I'm not in CA anymore! Anyway, I'm so happy to hear that your mother didn't break a hip in a fall, which is what happened to my 90 yr old father (deceased in 2002). I will keep your parents in prayer for continued health and strength! 🙏🏻🥰 BTW: The top of the dress you are wearing in his vlog fits you so well. Can you use this hack pattern for a t-shirt? Dori
Love your new haircut! Thank you for sharing your process… your trials and errors encourage me! I mean if the famous Jen has challenges sometimes I guess my mistakes are ok too!
Hi Jen! It's s so great to have a face to Cheryl! I will definitely have a look at her channel. She is an awesome moderator. Jen, when are you going to model that beautiful blue dress on your mannequin? That is definitely your color. I could tell when you held up the blue stripey t-shirt. I'm happy you didn't have to come home to grief and disaster. ❤ Bernadette
Hi Jen..when you said hand press..I thought oh does she mean finger press lol which is a term when sewing you use your thumb or fingers..always enjoy your channel cheers deb from Vancouver Canada 🇨🇦🇺🇸
Jen, you are in pattern hell! You are too good a seamstress to keep wasting your time on engaging a new pattern every time you sew. Take your favorites, and hack them to make the styles you want. Then the clothing fits, is scaled to your frame, and you are happy with the results without making toiles all the time, and having a pile of rejects. The biggest reason I hear that sewists don’t do that is “I don’t want to take the time to do the pattern work”, but time and resources are used for “ tweaking” everything you make. These days, the only reason I look at pattern books is to get design and styling ideas, then I take a picture to refer to when I’m working with my basic “tried and true” patterns. It takes a lot of stress out of sewing. And . . . your new haircut looks great!
