I'm a big fan of the Welsh Viking and I think your pocket is perfect for Jimmy. Your magnet struggles gave me such a laugh, especially when it got stuck to the metal plate on your sewing machine. Hot glue guns are such a pain to use, glad you were able to overcome the difficulties with it and finish the pocket. Over all it is a wonderful pocket, you did a great job with it.
I came here from Jimmy's channel because I have pocket envy so glad to know there is a pattern for this design because your one is just amazing!
Thank you! I'm so pleased you're here and anti-fascist pockets for everyone yay!
I too came here from Jimmy's channel. He showed his to us.
'The force is strong with these magnets'
Saw it coming, still lol-ing😂😂😂
I loved this❤
Hahaha I'm glad it's not just me 😂
I am so glad you like it! And do enjoy the teas :D Your pocket turned out amazing as well and sorry again about the envelope, was the only thing I could find at the post office to write on 😅
I loved the envelope! It's just the sort of thing that would happen to me so I thought it was very resourceful 😁
Yeah, magnets are strongest when the magnetic circuit is closed, that means when there are no gaps between any two magnets in the circuit.
As soon as you put something inbetween, like a layer of fabric, the magnetic lines have to go through a non-ferromagnetic gap, which weakens them.
I watch Jimmy’s channel and I also watch your channel. Both your channels are entertaining and informative and I think your work is lovely. Jimmy’s is highly educational and really fun as is yours. Thank you for sharing.
Everything about the pocket you made was wonderful! Lovely to see the different bits of your project scraps get another life as a utility pocket (and I loved the knits you were wearing while making it as well!). The pocket you received is stunning, and I can't wait to see the next collaboration you're working on!
I came here from Welsh Viking's video. I loved his pocket and wanted to see you design it. I'm sticking around for a bit because of disability videos
The best thing about these pocket swap videos (other than the entrtainment vlue, of course) is that they've introduced me to a bunch of CosTubers, like you, who I'd never encountered before - Yay!
Yay! Welcome 😄
I'm really enjoying all the pocket swaps! I love the purple binding. It is unexpectedly fabulous! Dear Claude, I'm so sorry your body is uncooperative on certain days. Mine is only slightly uncooperative but not very often and that is a royal PITA so I know for someone like you who has stuff to do and things to get done... Well I'm sending you lots of positive energy and I hope it helps!
These pockets were far more complex than I was expecting.
I love the music you chose to go with this video.
ABSOLUTELY loved your comments. BRILLIANT. Was thoroughly entertained with this project. Thinking of ways to use as normal ladies bag.
Hooray, you're back 😊 I've been subscribed to both you and the Welsh Viking for quite a while, so it's lovely to see some overlap.
Now we just need to wait for Jimmy's video)
@@MsDeepAndDark Pocketses 😁
I'm subscribed to both of you guys as well. Both different but equally amazing!
Wow! Magnet as a verb! I totally love all the pockets of the pocketswatch I‘ve seen to date, but this certainly is the most mind-boggling. It is also very beautiful.
Thank you ☺️
Oh yay! New Claude video is the best Friday. Sorry you've been feeling bad recently, I'm glad you're starting to feel better. I know how draining those long periods of fatigue are. The pocket looks amazing, I wish I could steal it lol.
Also "This Pocket Kills Fascists is amazing. Woody Guthrie is the best
Your pocket design for Jimmy is absolutely brilliant!! Beautiful design and beautiful work!!
Thank you so much for being part of #pocketswap2021!!!
Thank you for hosting! 💚
@@RetroClaude ❤
I started filling my pincushions with steel wool and I really find it makes my needles last longer, especially the ones that get glue on them. But you can't expose it to humidity
It's always a delight to watch a new video from you!🤗 The colours of your pocket go together very well) and hurrah for overcoming uncooperative glue guns)
The Welsh Viking has popped up in my suggestions several times and they always looked really interesting but I've avoided his videos just in case it was the algorithm trying to send me down a white supremacist rabbit hole. Sad that this is something we need to actively put effort in to swim against the current of the algorithm! Thanks for letting me know that his channel is safe and interesting, not going to start throwing up dog whistles, and is actively against that nonsense. I will now gleefully catch up on his backlog of videos. :)
I need an anti fascist pocket! That’s amazing!
Delighted to see you again. I DO hope your health issues clear up.
I love watching Jimmy's videos, so was quite fun to see what you came up with ! And, who doesn't love a stash busting video ?!
The pocket came out lovely ! Loved it.
Also loved the pocket you received! How neat to include the antique linen embroidery!
Hope you enjoyed the tea. Do take care of yourself. I would rather see you once every 6 months, then have you stress yourself to create a video when you are not feeling well.
Have you ever been screened for Migraine headaches ? That's the first thing I thought of when you mentioned "light sensitivity" ! I hope it was a transient thing. I do know people with light colored eyes tend to be a bit more light sensitive.
All the best.
Thank you for your well wishes. I thankfully don't get migraines. Light and sound sensitivity is a very common symptom of M.E. and for me it comes and goes. It just so happened that this day when my pocket arrived the light was bothering me and I was too impatient to open my pocket to postpone filming 😊
Thank you for your videos. They are so interesting. I also really enjoy that you don't "hide" your illness. I have autoimmune diseases as well, and you nail it when you say "random symptoms my body decides to throw at me." It spoke to me. If I don't laugh a bit at the ridiculousness that is my situation, I would probably just sit and cry. Yes, I do that too sometimes. For example, I had a dust bunny attack me 12 days ago and my body is finally deciding that I don't need to be a hostage in it's fight with said dust bunny any longer. Why my body felt the need to go on full attack and fight to the death with some dust is beyond me. But here we are, sneezing, coughing, migraine, and all the things.
The pockets are glorious. I just started making some project bags and I think that I'm going to think seriously about making a pocket to carry some of my tools around. I've also found bib overalls to be genius apparel I load my pockets up and it all hangs off different parts of my body. Distributing the weight of tools is a good thing. I know you don't know me and I only know you from videos, but it feels like I have a bit of a buddy in the Sh*tshow that my body hands me when trying to function in any sort of reasonable way. Thank you for that. Take care.
it's so sweet to see how much thought you put into this project! from colour, to design choices, to the text and how it refers to things he talked about in his video's.
this whole pocket swap thing is what lead me to your channel in the first place, so this is the 2nd video of you i've seen, but i am definitely goint to watch more.
Yay! Thank you so much and welcome to my channel ☺️
I love this idea. As a physician, I was often frustrated at the dearth of pockets in women’s clothing. I just wanted room for car keys and a pen as it was not practical to carry a purse around for hospital rounds (most of us do not wear white medical jackets, especially in pediatrics, as it frightens the children).
In my most recent tie-on pocket (18th century style) I sewed in a clip from a lanyard near the top of the back layer so that I can clip my keys there. It does make them clink a bit more than if they’re loose at the bottom of the pocket, but I also don’t have to dig around for them. I also added an internal “divider” going up to the bottom of the slit, though I’m not sure how necessary that was. If I didn’t have the key clip and my phone case didn’t have a cover I suspect it would be more of a necessity to keep my keys from scratching up my phone screen.
That is the cutest little hand sized iron!
AAAAAA this video was such a fun watch! 10/10 on the project, the thought you put into the design for Jimmy (This Pocket Kills Fascists :D), and the soundtrack (I love The Westerlies)!!! I watched it while working on my Sanquhar scarf knitting project, which you indirectly inspired with some encouragement to learn how to knit in a comment on a previous video.
No worries about the break between videos, either. Sometimes the body and/or brain decides that it doesn't work and you have to deal no matter how annoying it is, and that's understandable
Thank you for your understanding and yay!! Welcome to the wonderful world of knitting 💚
Welcome back Claude! I’m sorry you haven’t been well recently, but I’m happy that you’re doing better and respecting where your body is today and not pushing yourself.
Love the pocket! Came out so well. And Annabelle’s pocket for you was beautiful as well!
And as Opus Elenae (who has a similar problem to The Welsh Viking) says, “No N*zis in Valhalla!”
Take care 💖
This is the content that I came for, going to watch all the pocket exchange videos and buy a new pattern….
Eeeek! I hope that super magnet didn't muck your computerised machine! The pocket is super cute.
I never thought of that!! 😳
Thank you for linking to the utility pocket pattern. I've made several historical pockets and love them but was having a hard time trying to figure out a modern utility pocket.
I came to your channel because of the pocket that you made for Jimmy.
I bougth similar magnets for a DIY pinholder project. I seperated them once and wound a strip of fabric around them sto keep them from touching when I store them. Makes life much easier. And used superglue instead of hotglue because I would rather wait for it to dry than stress myself out with hotglue.
_Tip for cutting coleslaw_ - Use a rotary cutter and mat to do the chopping. I got that one off of Opus Elanai.
I love the concept for the pocket. I love the embroidery (my first concert was seeing Pete Seager on stage). Love the statement that it makes. Well done.

What a nice pocket! And what a good design. A+ choices here.
What a great scrappy project! loved both your pocket and Annabelle's. I also really enjoy seeing the various types of projects you get up to in different energy stages
Oh yes! For me that's the key to keeping sewing, tackling projects I can match to my energy level and swapping things about if my energy level changes 😊
Thank you for this video. 💝 I'm also not in great shape right now and its encourages me to go on with my projects and my tasks. Watching this video was my break of packing moving boxes. I really enjoyed it and i like how much heart and thoughts you put into that pocket for Jimmy. ♥️ I guess he will love it!
Glad to see youre making videos again! I don’t know much about sewing but I’m happy to see you back at it :)
Thanks so much for pointing me to Jimmy's channel, he's great! Perfect pocket for him!
Came here from Jimmy's channel! You'd be surprised the audience overlap honestly, liked and subscribed!
Loved your pocket so much, I purchased the pattern!
I missed your videos! Lovely to see you again ❤️ Sorry your health hasn't been the best. I know the feeling !
Lovely to see you again. You did such a great job with the pocket and I'm sure Jimmy will love it! You are both in my top youtube favourites so this was a pleasant surprise 😊 I wish good health to you.
I’m a huge fan of Jimmy’s channel. I just recently stumbled on yours and I’m so glad I did 🥰
I'm glad you're feeling better. Thanks for making such relaxing videos
I already followed both you, and Jimmy, and Annabelle : p and a few others I know are involved, so I'm working through the videos in a reallymessy order.
Looksl ieka lot ofun and I love the design you used, the colours are fab.
Thank you! It was such a fun project to be a part of 💚
It's lovely, and the embroidery you did is absolutely delightful!
Lovely to see a video from you again. Off topic, but I love your little smiling ghosties decoration.
They're so cute! I can't really do anything properly spooky but cute ghosts are allowed 😃
Looked so good in the end. This is the first time I have seen these pockets.
This is wonderful! I adore Jimmy!
I'm around 80% sure that I have kitchen curtains (sewed by my mother, probably) from the same fabric that Annabelle used for your pocket.
Despite being a big costube fan I hadn't yet stumbled across your channel, so getting linked here via your picket swap with Jimmy was a lovely new discovery! 😁 Looking forward to binging your content like mad whilst I sew....
Can 100% relate to the chronic health challenges sigh, do hope your flare-up settles soon & allows you to tackle more of what you want to! (It's been really awesome to discover how many creators in the costuming & historical clothing research community are actually other people living with various disabilities & neorodiversity/mental wellbeing issues... Feels like these are really my people! 🥰 I guess it just goes to show the restorative power of creativity...?)
I'm so pleased to have you here ☺️ and I totally agree. I think we creative types with health issues have discovered that the meaning of life is to make cool stuff 💚
I love both pockets, specially the vintage embroidery on yours. Cheers from Melbourne
Welcome back! And I didnt realise you were so local to me 😂 (filthy Gosportian over here).
Have you seen the Wildflower Coquelicot skirt? I got it through on the insta algorithm today and combines 18th century style pockets with a 40s style skirt (and is now on the never ending to do list for me 😂)
Hello! I haven't seen the skirt but I must look it up because it sounds perfect! And hello neighbour 👋 forgive me if I don't give away my exact location but it's nice to know I'm not the only vintage and costume enthusiast in this neck of the woods 💚
@@RetroClaude completely understandable! And definitely, I know Southsea also has a lot of vintage people around but not sure how many actually sew!
@@MisSiszY I've just looked up the skirt it's amazing! And yes it seems sewing tends to be only for quilts near me
@@RetroClaude and a lot of stretch! There is also a sewing in Hampshire group where people share bits and theres a regular meet up in Tichfield I want to say (I live as a hermit so dont pay too close attention to these things 😂)
Thanks so much for mentioning that pattern. I immediately checked it out and it is *everything* 😘 large and sturdy pocketses, adjustable waist, swoosh... I've never bought a sewing pattern so quickly. I'm actually working on it right now.
I'm delighted to see you are back. 😀 I'd begun to worry !
We've watched it a few times over now, to make up for the gap in between the last video and this one. Thanks for posting this up it really looks like a well worth while, and extremely usable thing in the end. Let's hope it gets lots of use by the Viking! 💪
This pocket is SO COOL!
So cute! I love that idea of a swap! What a fun share😊
Great to see you back!
I came here via Welsh Viking. I really enjoyed watching this video :-)
I'm Glad you drew Jimmy 'cos now I've found you too
Such an enjoyable video ty! 😍
The embroidery is amazing ! Great message 😉
I really love your stuff ❤
this is so great ! also i rly loved the pink knitted top [?] u were wearing in some of the clips!!
Ah thanks! It's the Rizzo blouse by a designer called Poison Grrls (not a typo).
@@RetroClaude ah cool thanks!!
I love your pocket!
My bias binding folder is one of my favourite gadgets.
Aren't they great?
Never heard of that one until seeing it here, but it's definitely now on the "oooh, cool new tools, must investigate further!!" list 😁
Too cute!
Welcome back 🙂
Ok , so I saw this pocket on the Viking channel and I automatically thought of the sticker 'this machine kills demons ", from The Laundry Files. I guess Stross got it from the same place as you
Woodie Guthrie’s guitar!
I've seen another costuming RUclipsr(I can't remember who?) Using a rotary cutter on a mat with the fabric just laid flat and going ham to quickly get the scraps into small pieces
A great tip. I struggle to get enough strength to make a rotary cutter, well cut, but I'll have to try it next time 💚
youre back!!! (:
That dress you re wearing in tis video is so pretty! Did you make it your self? Nice Colab too :)
Did Jimmy like his pocket? Is there a video of him receiving it?
Yes there is! Watch it here ruclips.net/video/uoLiF82d73A/видео.html
💜
Where did you get the calendar from at the beginning? It’s so pretty! ❤️
I can't remember exactly where I got it but it's the designs of William Morris so it should be pretty easy to find one similar for 2022 💚
It's projects and collabs like this that make me wish I was a CosTuber!
Hi 😀 you said you have a chronic illness but is it ok if I ask what the illness is? Did I miss that? Is it too personal?
As a general rule I would recommend not asking people about chronic illness but personally I'm pretty open about my illness here and on Instagram I just don't think I've ever actually said specifically in a video. I have M.E. and scoliosis and I often talk about how those things affect me and my sewing 😊
@@RetroClaude thanks for letting me know. I know it's a bit too nosy but thanks for answering anyway
I love the pocket you made, the colour and fabric combos worked so well! Your embroidered pocket was also beautiful 💜 I'm really enjoying following this project with the various makers, it's so interesting to see the multitude of different ways you can style and adapt the same item.
