I'm pretty sure I'm significantly older than a lot of your subscribers, and I don't live with the health challenges you described. But I wanted to say that realising your have value as a person because you are here in the world and taking those steps to caring for yourself is such a major step forward. It's not easy by any stretch of the imagination and the journey starts often because you have acknowledged the issues/trauma that you have experienced and/or are experiencing, so the resilience you have shown in coming back and updating everyone is amazing. And remember, you share only what you choose to, because that is also part of self care (as well caring about the people in your life). You take the time you need to find your place again the bigger world... do those things that bring peace and joy. Sew because you want to and you love to. Sew things you love and make content about what is important to you to share...I am pretty sure everyone will be thrilled when you. Find the health team that you can feel comfortable, heard and safe with. Take small steps. Each small step builds a bigger pathway for you. Why have I said all this? Because it took me many more years than it should have to realise that I needed to care for and about me so I could find peace and f eel healthy again. I wish you all good things for the future.
I'm happy to see you getting back into sewing. But selfcare is so important. I can't believe how much we have in common. I have PCOS, diabetes and the other issue that I shared with you a few years ago. I also pulled off of Instagram for the sane resons. I've been on RUclips, but I stopped posting on other platforms. I definitely understand being as though I'm going through my own challenges. Thank you for sharing. I don't think you're dampening spirits. I think you'll find many people suffer in silence with their own issues, and sometimes it helps to hear how others are handling their challenges. Thank you for sharing this part of your self with us. You're an inspiration! Blessings!
Thank you so much for your comment Tea! You are so right.. many of us face the same challenges and would never know. I battled really hard with myself about posting this video but from the comments.. I can tell so many ppl relate! Sending best wishes to you as you deal with your own challenged as well! ❤️
Crumpetsteanadsewing, we are a community brought together by our love of creating. Wonderful words of encouragement and I so enjoy your channel also. Together we are stronger. Love to you all.
A lot of us are curvy, due to illness or menopause or just life… and just want inspiration to clothe our curvy bodies without fear. I’ve found Following content creators who have shapes similar to mine has helped to see the beauty in them and therefore within myself - we have to retrain what we know of beauty, what we though we knew of beauty. Everyone is beautiful, as are you. Sew for yourself, for the body you’re in, and with silhouettes that flatter your shape. When we have at least one dress to wear to the market or to visit friends, we find ourselves wanting another. Think floaty maxi dresses.
I am glad to see you are okay and working on your self care. I have been following you for a few years and have admired the energy and commitment you have to this channel. I admire your enthusiasm and creativity and your positivity. Thank you for sharing yourself with your followers and sharing your excitement and tears along the way. Please do not feel obligated to keep going when things do not bring you joy. It is okay to step away and look after you. Don't stop believing in your self and make choices that are right for you. I know what it is like to live with medical and mental health challenges and hope that one day soon you will look back at this time in your life and find purpose. You have touched the lives of many people in the sewing community and raised our spirits just seeing your beautiful face.
You are seen, heard, felt, and understood. 💜 Like you said, baby steps. The platforms aren’t going anywhere. The algorithm can take a hike. Be good to yourself; body, mind, and spirit. ✨🙏
I have missed seeing you. You have been incredibly brave to share your pain and vulnerabilities with your subscribers. I applaud you for that as it is no small thing. I have experienced similar circumstances and sympathize with the very hard work it takes to come back from a point of extreme pain. We all need to sew for and love the bodies we have, not just the ones we wish we had. Please begin as you need to and know there are those of us who may be encouraged by your sharing of your journey and transition in sewing for your present body. It may not be the size you end up with but this body deserves attention and pretty clothes, too. It really is the same body as before. Let us help you celebrate how far you’ve come.
Thank you so much! It indeed was a very difficult video to film and post. I've found relief in the fact that so many of you understand and even relate. ❤️
I've been wondering where you've been. Please take all the time you need. Take care of yourself. Hoping things get better for you soon. Hope you get to make yourself something that makes you feel fabulous ❤
Thank you for sharing some of your story. We care about you and want you to take care of yourself. Do what is best for you & your family. Whenever and whatever you sew, we will enjoy seeing it. You are a beautiful sewest! ❤ 🙏
Thanks for sharing what’s been going on with you. That takes guts. I wish you all the wellness and look forward to whatever you post, understanding your situation. ♥️ I don’t have PCOS, but Perimenopause has been making me gain weight and making my belly tender. So I have been seeking out gentler pants and trousers. I have a couple pairs of Pietra pants in mind for Autumn. One wide leg pair and one tapered leg. The waist is flat in front and elasticated in the back and that has been a better style for me lately with weight fluctuations.♥️
I was truly glad to see you on RUclips. After listening to the reason why you were MIA I am truly sorry. I had really come to enjoy all of the beautiful things you have made. I think that you are really talented and being self taught you have made some amazing pieces. Your health comes first and I pray that things will work out in a positive way for you as well as your husband. Take your time, the people that love you will be here for you. I know that I have come to love your videos but after listening I really want you to be happy and healthy so take your time and do what you have to do to take care of yourself. I also will pray for you and your Husband as you go through these times. Will always be glad to see you whenever you are ready to are a video. GOD BLESS ❤️
I think you are amazing. You look great in all your makes. You are loved. Try hard to Focus on the good and think good thoughts only . Sending lots of love from Cape Town, South Africa
Thank you for sharing, and best wishes to you and your hubby. It's not a dampener to know that you are human and going through some difficulties. It helps others who have their own issues not to feel alone. Here's to wearable and creative additions to your wardrobe when you are ready to make and love them. ❤
So happy to see your beautiful self today! I’m sorry you and your hubby are dealing with these challenges. Know that your subscribers are here to support you and those who are unkind, shame on them! We are here if and when you choose to return. You are such a beautiful and talented woman. Praying you are able to find the right professionals to help you get through this. ❤
I'm glad to see you back! I'm sorry you and your husband have been having so many health issues. I have insulin resistance and have put on 35 pounds in the last year. Everything I made last year I can't wear this year. I understand that frustration. I hope you are able to find the help you need. Thank you for sharing your experiences. I will pray for improvement.
I pray things get easier for you. I am an older woman who has been dealing with mental health issues and self esteem for my whole life and I menopause has not helped at all (extreme weight gain, hair loss and brain fog as well as I have been in constant pain for most of my life and doctors haven't been able to help much.) Take care of you and I will pray for you.
I am SO glad to see you back! I am sorry you have been experiencing some challenges in your personal life, and I appreciate your honesty. I am glad you took the time to process and lovingly care for yourself and your husband until you could make room for sewing. :)
Keira, sorry to hear that you have been going through a bad time. You are not alone. Just take it a day at a time and do what is best for you. Get better. A warm hello from Canada 🇨🇦 ❤
So happy that you are posting today even if you only post when you want to. Having people who are real provides a much deeper connection for me. Your comments about making the dress and seeing yourself in it and how you felt resonates. I hope posting this video and all the supportive comments lift you up. Have always loved your content. Take good care of you and your husband. Sending you lots of positive energy 🙏🏾❤️🩹
Your disclosure will help others who may be going through a similar situation. Thank you for your transparency. No pity party. Sheer honesty. I am from St Thomas, US Virgin Islands and enjoy viewing other sewist in the Caribbean.
I'm so sorry to hear you've had such a hard time, facing health challenges in your family and personally. I have missed your beautiful spirit and immense creativity. You need to do what's best for yourself, however long that takes and know that people who love you will be there for you.
So sorry to hear what you have been going through. I have always enjoyed your videos, you are so very beautiful regardless of your dress size. Take care of yourself ❤
You have taken the first step, be proud of yourself. The next steps will be a little easier. With the trolls of the internet block them and don’t take it to heart. My daughter in law has the same problem. Sending all the positive vibes.
Thank you for sharing with us. You have been missed and I have wondered what happened to you, but I can understand how difficult it is to be on social media even in the best of times and if you are struggling you owe it to yourself to take care of yourself. Best wishes to you and may you come out on top of it all. We’ll be here when you are ready.
You’re beautiful. I just picked up a new pattern with puffy sleeves (Sweet Talker Bubble Top by Pattern Emporium) I thought it would be so cute with jeans. I do understand your feelings. Hugs and prayers for you.
You be you n do what's best for you n your family... sending hugs n good vibes... we love your videos n sharing your skills... health issues are just draining but you follow your heart n keep up till you find the right doctor... things will get better... have faith... 🩷
I am so sympathetic. My daughter has struggled with PCOS for many years and it's side effects, both mental and physical. Taking care of yourself is the most important thing you can do. Hang in there.
Yes it definitely affects both the mental and physical. I am sorry your daughter has a similar struggle. Here's to hoping we both find some relief and reprieve soon! ❤️
Hi Kiera. I’m so sorry to see you are dealing with a lot these days and I admire the bravery and strength it must have taken to share all of that. Just want you to know that I hope you find each day easier in some way and that you ease back in without putting too much pressure on yourself. Not giving medical advice, but perhaps you might explore a holistic approach to help with some of these issues? Healing can happen in all kinds of ways and sometimes we need to search different avenues.I know everything seems very overwhelming right now, but try to take things one day at a time and know you have people all over the world sending positive vibes. We can never underestimate the power of that. Take care. We are cheering you on.
You know what. I just finished watching your Precious Fabric video and already U can see the glimmer of a sparkle in your eyes. You are going to be okay. Just build on the progress each day and even when it seems you might be slipping back a little, push on. We are right here with you, wishing you positive strides. Today I saw someone pushing through a lot of noise and difficulty, but you emerged stronger and brighter. You have got this. I believe you do.
My dear I feel your pain. Please take time to fix your health issues and take care of your hubby, we who care will always be here. I too struggle with weight and sometime I just want comfortable clothing to hide what I see as too much. Honey I will pray for you and hubby. I kmow God still hear and answer prayer. Stay stong my dear.
It’s SO GOOD TO SEE YOU!!!! Please take care of yourself. Social media is not your life. Those that care about you understand. We will be here when you’re ready. Prayers and blessings for you.
Sending virtual hugs to you and your family. Keeping your family in my prayers. As another Caribbean lady that have been living with PCOS for over 20 yrs (crazy as I'm only 33) I empathize greatly with you and that aspect of your story. Stay strong 🙏🏽🤗.
I am only 34 and have been dealing with hormonal issues since my teenage years as well. I couldn't get away from it as this type of thing runs in the family. Thanks for the hugs and prayers! ❤️
Hi Keira. I’m glad to see you back and I’m prayerful that you and hubby’s health is restored. I’m looking forward to seeing your precious fabric make! ❤❤❤
You know I missed you so much. I’m glad you prioritized yourself and what you needed to do. I’m not gonna lie. I’m so happy to see you easing back into things. I’m sorry to hear about what you’re going through and I pray it all works out in the end. ❤
Hi, I am so glad to see you back. What I am going to say is God loves you and he created you. So please search the word for answers. Spend some time we your maker. There is more to him than asking him to change situations for us. We all over the world are dealing with somethings. I will make be praying for you. You’re a beautiful young lady. Take care, no you’re not alone!
Hi. I have seen your videos and I was just starting my RUclips channel last year when you took your sabbatical. Health challenges are just that and can be wearing to the body. I pray that your days get better and better and more manageable. Yes, social media can be good and bad.❤❤❤
Honey, sometimes you have to just step away and there’s nothing wrong with that. I deal with so much in my personal life, and it’s been a rare occasion that I actually sew…completely sew and finish something anymore. I relate to some of what you’re dealing with and get it. Weight gain is my reason for not sewing, too. Nothing looks good or fits right. Also, so sorry to hear about your husband and I pray that things get better for him. Hang in there.❤
Thanks so much Adria! I'm amazed at how many ppl have said they can relate to this video in some way. It does make me feel less alone in my struggles. Sending you best wishes as you deal with your own personal challenges as well! ❤️
I'm happy to see you again, dear Keira, but a little sad to see you struggle. I'm sending you good viibes and pray that you and hubby get well soon. Don't worry, just focus on your health and don't feel pressured to post if you're not feeling it. We love you and will patiently wait for our girl to get better. Blessings!
So glad to see you back. Sending you prayers for getting the help you need in terms of medical care. Take your time and do what you can when you can. ✂
I’ve been thinking about you! I’m so sorry to hear about your illness! I myself have multi problems going on too, but it’s all in God‘s hand just pray.🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 Take care of yourself!
I am so glad to see you, Keira! Take your time and take care of yourself. Sewing can be therapeutic...but only when you are ready....only until then. Take care and God bless you and your family❤❤❤❤
I’m so sorry Keira I had no idea. I agree with everyone else here self-care is so important. While I cannot say I can relate to what you’re going through, I know life struggles can be very hard. I am sending prayers🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 to both you and your husband for strength to get through what you’re having to deal with right now. I also must admit it’s so good to see you back and can’t wait until I can start sewing again too. I’ll be here to watch whatever you want to post or whenever you want to post.❤❤❤
Thanks so much Myra! I can agree that you definitely know life struggles can be very hard. I am keeping you and your husband in my thoughts all the time as well! ❤️
I have been wondering where you were. When I got back into sewing, you were one of the first people I related to. A far as mental health, take care of you and your family. The rest of us we will be alright. I'm praying that you and your hubby will continue to improve . God bless you!
I missed you much,glad you’re back but taking care of yourself comes first,can’t wait to see all of your beautiful makes,just show them on your mannequin , quite sure it is pretty
Thank you for being open about what has been going on for you. It’s not easy at all. Even though you’re coming to terms with your current body shape, this is an excellent opportunity to discover new patterns that you might not have discovered before which can really contribute towards building your confidence ❤
How lovely to see you again on RUclips! You are such a wonderfully generous, creative, kind sewing content creator, and I’m thrilled to see you here again in this space. I’m so sorry to hear of the many challenges and the suffering you’ve experienced in recent years. Please know that there is no pressure for you to share anything other than what you want to share, and when you want to share it. It’s positively lovely to hear from you whenever you decide that it gives you joy to do so. Otherwise, please continue focusing on your own wellness and the wellness of your beloved family members ❤️ You owe us nothing: we are simply along for the ride--and grateful for you!--as you take us through your life experiences. Best wishes to you for the continued improvement of your health (and your family’s health) in every area.
Yes, you have been missed. We your loyal followers do not require anything of you. I hope you find a way to improve your health. Sounds like you have a lot of moving parts there. Wishing you all the best.❤
Just glad to see you on youtube again. I've been looking at my pdf patterns lately and saw your love notions pattern and some in itch to stitch. Then I realized you've not been on youtube in a long time. Please hang in there. Any videos would be great.
Sending happy healing thoughts your way!!! If you’re open to it, intermittent fasting has been known to help with PCOS, type 2 diabetes and weight loss. Fast, Feast, Repeat by Gin Stephens is a good book to start with.
Thank you! I have tried intermittent fasting and ended up getting really ill because my blood sugar was dropping too low. I think it can be a great health tool but surely isn't for everyone.
I'm pretty sure I'm significantly older than a lot of your subscribers, and I don't live with the health challenges you described. But I wanted to say that realising your have value as a person because you are here in the world and taking those steps to caring for yourself is such a major step forward. It's not easy by any stretch of the imagination and the journey starts often because you have acknowledged the issues/trauma that you have experienced and/or are experiencing, so the resilience you have shown in coming back and updating everyone is amazing. And remember, you share only what you choose to, because that is also part of self care (as well caring about the people in your life). You take the time you need to find your place again the bigger world... do those things that bring peace and joy. Sew because you want to and you love to. Sew things you love and make content about what is important to you to share...I am pretty sure everyone will be thrilled when you. Find the health team that you can feel comfortable, heard and safe with. Take small steps. Each small step builds a bigger pathway for you. Why have I said all this? Because it took me many more years than it should have to realise that I needed to care for and about me so I could find peace and f eel healthy again. I wish you all good things for the future.
Beautifully said.

Hi Kiera. I’m so sorry to see you are dealing with a lot these days and I admire the bravery and strength it must have taken to share all of that. Just want you to know that I hope you find each day easier in some way and that you ease back in without putting too much pressure on yourself. Not giving medical advice, but perhaps you might explore a holistic approach to help with some of these issues? Healing can happen in all kinds of ways and sometimes we need to search different avenues.I know everything seems very overwhelming right now, but try to take things one day at a time and know you have people all over the world sending positive vibes. We can never underestimate the power of that. Take care. We are cheering you on.
Thank you so much! It really did take alot out of me to film and post this video.
You know what. I just finished watching your Precious Fabric video and already U can see the glimmer of a sparkle in your eyes. You are going to be okay. Just build on the progress each day and even when it seems you might be slipping back a little, push on. We are right here with you, wishing you positive strides. Today I saw someone pushing through a lot of noise and difficulty, but you emerged stronger and brighter. You have got this. I believe you do.
Baby steps, and do you at the pace you are comfortable with. ❤
Always! Thank you! ❤️
My dear I feel your pain. Please take time to fix your health issues and take care of your hubby, we who care will always be here. I too struggle with weight and sometime I just want comfortable clothing to hide what I see as too much. Honey I will pray for you and hubby. I kmow God still hear and answer prayer. Stay stong my dear.
Thanks so much! ❤️
It’s SO GOOD TO SEE YOU!!!!
Please take care of yourself. Social media is not your life. Those that care about you understand. We will be here when you’re ready.
Prayers and blessings for you.
Thanks so much! ❤️
Sending virtual hugs to you and your family. Keeping your family in my prayers. As another Caribbean lady that have been living with PCOS for over 20 yrs (crazy as I'm only 33) I empathize greatly with you and that aspect of your story. Stay strong 🙏🏽🤗.
I am only 34 and have been dealing with hormonal issues since my teenage years as well. I couldn't get away from it as this type of thing runs in the family. Thanks for the hugs and prayers! ❤️
Please take care of yourself. It's good to see you.
Thank you!
I’m so happy to see you back but I’m even happier that you are taking time to care for yourself and hubby. Sending you virtual hugs 🤗.
Thanks so much! Happy to be easing my way back in! ❤️
You were missed. Glad to see you back.
Hi Keira. I’m glad to see you back and I’m prayerful that you and hubby’s health is restored. I’m looking forward to seeing your precious fabric make! ❤❤❤
Thanks so much Crystal! ❤️❤️❤️
You know I missed you so much. I’m glad you prioritized yourself and what you needed to do. I’m not gonna lie. I’m so happy to see you easing back into things. I’m sorry to hear about what you’re going through and I pray it all works out in the end. ❤
Thanks so much Jo for the kind words and support as always! ❤️
So glad to see you. Please take care of yourself first. Putting you and your family on my prayer list.
Thank you so much! I appreciate that! ❤️
✝️💜💜💜 Take time to heal. It seems you have been dealing with several issues. Praying for your perfect healing.
It has definitely been a struggle over here. Thank you!
Hi, I am so glad to see you back. What I am going to say is God loves you and he created you. So please search the word for answers. Spend some time we your maker. There is more to him than asking him to change situations for us. We all over the world are dealing with somethings. I will make be praying for you. You’re a beautiful young lady. Take care, no you’re not alone!
Thank you! ❤️
Hi. I have seen your videos and I was just starting my RUclips channel last year when you took your sabbatical. Health challenges are just that and can be wearing to the body. I pray that your days get better and better and more manageable. Yes, social media can be good and bad.❤❤❤
Thank you so much! All the best on your YT journey! ❤️
Honey, sometimes you have to just step away and there’s nothing wrong with that. I deal with so much in my personal life, and it’s been a rare occasion that I actually sew…completely sew and finish something anymore. I relate to some of what you’re dealing with and get it. Weight gain is my reason for not sewing, too. Nothing looks good or fits right. Also, so sorry to hear about your husband and I pray that things get better for him. Hang in there.❤
Thanks so much Adria! I'm amazed at how many ppl have said they can relate to this video in some way. It does make me feel less alone in my struggles. Sending you best wishes as you deal with your own personal challenges as well! ❤️
@@islandsewcialist You’re welcome and you are definitely not alone! Thank you❤️
I'm happy to see you again, dear Keira, but a little sad to see you struggle. I'm sending you good viibes and pray that you and hubby get well soon. Don't worry, just focus on your health and don't feel pressured to post if you're not feeling it. We love you and will patiently wait for our girl to get better. Blessings!
Thanks so much Eliza! I appreciate all the kind words and good vibes! ❤️
Hopefully you find the right professional people to help you! Sending lots of love and light your way!❤️❤️❤️
Sending you lots of love and prayers to you and your family.

I am so glad to see you, Keira! Take your time and take care of yourself. Sewing can be therapeutic...but only when you are ready....only until then. Take care and God bless you and your family❤❤❤❤

Lovely to hear your gorgeous voice. You are so much more than how you look. Take good care of yourself xx

I’m so sorry Keira I had no idea. I agree with everyone else here self-care is so important. While I cannot say I can relate to what you’re going through, I know life struggles can be very hard. I am sending prayers🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 to both you and your husband for strength to get through what you’re having to deal with right now. I also must admit it’s so good to see you back and can’t wait until I can start sewing again too. I’ll be here to watch whatever you want to post or whenever you want to post.❤❤❤
Thanks so much Myra! I can agree that you definitely know life struggles can be very hard. I am keeping you and your husband in my thoughts all the time as well! ❤️

I have been wondering where you were. When I got back into sewing, you were one of the first people I related to. A far as mental health, take care of you and your family. The rest of us we will be alright. I'm praying that you and your hubby will continue to improve . God bless you!

Thank you! ❤️
Thank you for being open about what has been going on for you. It’s not easy at all. Even though you’re coming to terms with your current body shape, this is an excellent opportunity to discover new patterns that you might not have discovered before which can really contribute towards building your confidence ❤
Thank you! Yes I believe my style is about to change drastically again 😅
How lovely to see you again on RUclips! You are such a wonderfully generous, creative, kind sewing content creator, and I’m thrilled to see you here again in this space.
I’m so sorry to hear of the many challenges and the suffering you’ve experienced in recent years. Please know that there is no pressure for you to share anything other than what you want to share, and when you want to share it. It’s positively lovely to hear from you whenever you decide that it gives you joy to do so. Otherwise, please continue focusing on your own wellness and the wellness of your beloved family members ❤️ You owe us nothing: we are simply along for the ride--and grateful for you!--as you take us through your life experiences.
Best wishes to you for the continued improvement of your health (and your family’s health) in every area.

Just glad to see you on youtube again. I've been looking at my pdf patterns lately and saw your love notions pattern and some in itch to stitch. Then I realized you've not been on youtube in a long time. Please hang in there. Any videos would be great.

Thanks for sharing and best of luck

Thanks! ❤️
Take care of yourself.
Thanks! ❤️
Sending happy healing thoughts your way!!! If you’re open to it, intermittent fasting has been known to help with PCOS, type 2 diabetes and weight loss. Fast, Feast, Repeat by Gin Stephens is a good book to start with.
Thank you! I have tried intermittent fasting and ended up getting really ill because my blood sugar was dropping too low. I think it can be a great health tool but surely isn't for everyone.
