I still haven't bought a sewing machine, but your podcast keeps making me want to learn...

It's so fun when one sewing project gets your sewjo back. This project was definitely something that looks like your style. I'm currently trying to get my sewjo back, hopefully soon.

Simply beautiful! Especially on you - it is sooo your colour and style. I'm going to forward this to my daughter to inspire her sewing mojo 😊♥️🙏

Hoping to join the MAL - spotted “ knitting a Victorian misers purse” Engineering knits but meanwhile .... ... just stared at your dress! That lace panel! Enjoyed looking at the still modelling... yey for Mauve!

That is Adorable!!! Isn't it fun to work with ye old sewing book along with the modern pattern? I've done that for a few projects. A couple years ago, I found I was printing out directions for embroidery stitches or old techniques, & stacking them up for 'sometime'. Then a few months ago, I was organizing my sewing area & found them languishing. I almost threw them out & thought, ok, so I've just wasted my paper And my time if I do that. I sat right down & added embroidery to a plain dress & now I try to add Something like that to whatever I make. It just feels....more special you know? So yes, Kudos on the mauve confection. :)

A comment on the video tech side. I've noticed you seem to use some sort of sepia-ish? partial desaturation? filter on your videos. I like how it pulls things together & harmonizes well with what I think of as your style. Does it have an option for being less or more dark though? Despite having my monitors brightness turned all the way up, it was very difficult to clearly see everything in the video. I've noticed this from the first, but today's video seemed particularly dark. It felt like a real strain on my eyes. I'm not 24, so this may be a complaint of the Aged but as there are a lot of us Not 24 Sewists....well. grin... Again, lovely job on the dress!
