This really is the perfect spring dress! I love the colour combination. Your thoughts and words in this video were so beautiful. I know I'm certainly emerging into the world slowly and taking stock of what's important in my life and the person I want to be. I think for me this past year I've learnt a lot about the importance of community and that's what I want to prioritise in the future 💚

I adore the way your dress came out. I too also slowed down and gave in when it came to my children. I had to stack up on activities and experiments to maintain. I have not grown in to living like we were over the past year. I'm happy to get back to my normal. Blessings to you Drew.

This was a fantastic video!!! I love the discussion. Cheers to a new beginning. As you know I find pleasure in sewing apart from my children.

Great job on the dress...I like the cuff detail. Do you wear shoes of the period when you're rocking the vintage look?
I don't mind covering my face, I just make masks to match whatever I'm wearing from scrap fabric. I am not ready to uncover just yet. Thanks for the video....

Loved all aspects of this video. I will be one of the last to stay masked, due to my asthma and public transportation keeping it mandatory when boarding the bus or train.
I lived a sheltered life prior to the pandemic. I was a home body. Watching people go places and read about it on social media.I am realizing that is not a life I want to continue. I do not know what my first going out event is, but I crave attending events.
Thanks for the video!

You always use such pretty patterns and fabrics.

I really love how life has slowed down over the last year+. I am excited to be able to do more things, but I look forward to doing the things I choose to do, not just what I feel obligated to do.

Did you just upgrade your shooting gear? I'm a few minutes in and I'm appreciating the shot angles and the editing and voice-over.

You are wonderful and taking the time to relax with your children and give yourself grace will be a beautiful memory they'll cherish forever. Their entire generation will.be in the same place, so they won't be affected or behind. They'll live a life with appreciation for peace. You're doing great, mama.
