How I'm finding a personal style + 1K GIVEAWAY!!! | The Curated Closet Book Review

I've mentioned The Curated Closet by Anuschka Rees a few times and now I've worked through all the tasks (although I plan to keep going back and redoing them), I thought I would give you a little overview of some of the things I'll be taking forward in planning my future makes as well as some of the process.

I'm going to be 60 on the 26th of this month. I've been sewing for 50 of those 60 years and I just want you to know that your videos are so full of inspiration and just really SMART ideas about looking inward for the truth of how I want to show myself to the world...even at 60! Thank you so much!

Book sounds fantastic. I have been sewing for 18 months and still trying to find my style and learning new skills. Thank you

[pamelabrooker]

I understand about your style changing mine has too and I like sewing because then I can get just what I want and not get frustrated when I cant find it in stores.

Another fantastic video! I have absolutely NO CLUE what my personal style is (I've usually had to choose from what I can get to fit me, rather than clothes I actually like) - this is such an exciting give away! Love your channel ! Xx

[soniabutler]

I'm loving your honesty. It makes your videos so much more informative and releasing. I'm an older sewist and as my life has evolved and I am exploring this current generation of myself, I found your channel immensely refreshing and rejuvenating. Thank you.

For me finding my style came just before I discovered sewing, and it has been quite interesting because I've been struggling to balance my taste and what I can sew, so I try to be very selectiva with my patterns although I like to experiment. With fabric is more complicated, because I'm still learning about different types of fabrics and how they'll work. I think it would help a lot to get the book and have a good analysis at my wardrobe and choices. Thanks for this!

Good to hear more of how much you like "The Curated Closet." I'd like to have this book!

[ReinhildeLenaers]

The best review of this book yet on here. Now I need it in my life 🤔

[angiecunningham]

Loved it! You are making me feel brave to sew again!

[debsmadethis]

I'm definitely trying to sew the things I wear! I'm also trying to make the things I sew in a way and with fabric that will last. Book looks great. Thanks Ruthie!

I've heard so many good things about this book! Your review was really helpful; it's interesting to think about personal preference vs. what we actually make/own, and how those two things aren't always the same.

I loved this video. I have a 2 year old and a 2 month old baby so to say I’m in a style rut is an understatement! I haven’t sewn much in the last few years but I’ve recently got the sewing machine out and I’d forgotten how much I love it! I will be watching your vlog for more tips, thank you! 😘

[thimbletiina]

Congratulations for the 1K! And thank you for arranging this giveaway. Good luck everybody! :)

Thanks for giving us a closer look at this book, I'd love to be in with a chance of winning a copy 😊 I really love the idea of doing this! I think, as sewists, it's very easy to get distracted by pretty things and novelty peints. I've been sewing for 4 years now and I've only recently realised that the tings I actually wear a lot are the more practical, comfortable garments in my handmade wardrobe. I'd love to do a full analysis and see the outcome.

[meredithcornelius]

really interesting video, Ruthie! Touched on not only what looks like a great book for anyone interested in clothes (sewn or not), but how you have addressed developing your personal style. As usual, thumbs up xo

Congratulations on your YouTube success, always great to watch

[mellie]

Congrats on your 1000 subscribers! Thanks for all the effort you put into your channel and giving us a place to share about sewing... and also for the giveaway. You have so made me want to read that book!

[helenmoore]

Congratulations on you first 1000! Thank you for a lovely give away.

[yvettewarren]

Congratulations on 1k! Fingers crossed for the giveaway 🤞

[lollyorigami]

Thanks for sharing, the book sounds really practical! I'm new to sewing and am definitely aware of the pull to buy all sorts of fabric, especially when there's a sale online, but without giving too much thought to how it fits with what I actually wear day-to-day. Excited for the giveaway! 😊
