A Much Needed Channel Life Update

This video is a much needed channel life update! A lot has changed about this channel over the past 6 months, and there will be more changes coming in the future. Sewing content? Natural hair care content?

Katherine! I’m one of your subscribers who found you because of your hair video! I’m thankful for your help! I’m already seeing hair growth! Congratulations on your baby girl too!!!

It's not surprising that many of the same people who are drawn to vintage sewing and vintage hair care would be interested in a channel about living a busy family life with a traditional, naturally-oriented way of doing things! In fact, I think people crave all of these sorts of things in a world that's become far too automated and depersonalized. This is living life from the heart! Thank you for sharing all that you do, and will share ❤

Homesteader & 'Do It Yourselfer' here. YES!!!! I just LOVE all of your vids. I have been sewing since my junior year of high school - some 37 years now. I just LOVE vintage clothing & I have a collection of dresses, skirts & blouses that I proudly wear. I also have been fascinated with hair & I LOVE having long waist-length hair. And I do devote time to hair care. VERY grateful & inspiring to see gals who love being feminine.🙏🙏💖💖

Your first hair-care video came up as a recommendation, and since I have been struggling to grow my back out again after a prolonged period of severe anemia, it was a perfect fit. That being said, I have enjoyed going back and looking at your sewing content, and think that a video highlighting traditional family life would be very beautiful-- I come from a large, homeschooling family, with a stay at home mom, and it was the most wonderful way to grow up. Take care of yourself and the wee baby.

[KerriBarkley]

I'm a homeschooling mom of four and I've been improving my sewing skills a lot from watching you. I love that you really "get" the kind of life I'm living and still find time to sew and feed your own interests!

[meredethYT]

You are like the fairy godmother of my homemaking dreams ✨ I am now historical sewing 🧵as encouraged by your inspirational leadership. I’m here for the sewing content but will stay for it all 🏡

Put Your new channels in the "CHANNELS " tab of this channel. And put all Your channels in the channels tab of each channel so everyone who finds any channel can see all Your other channels.

You are completely natural and not-fake, that's why supporting you and your channels is a pleasure! not like other youtubers with million subs;)

[rebeccasponderings]

The thing that appeals to me most about this channel is that it shows practical applications of wisdom from history. Our ancestors were very wise and we have much to learn from them. You have taken that knowledge as it relates to clothing and hair and made it do-able.

Of course, our ancestors also educated their children at home, tended babies, and kept their families fed and clothed and their households running through thick and thin. So while I will subscribe to your new channel, I would suggest just combining the two and renaming this to something that more accurately reflects broader content.

I homeschooled my kids from birth through high school and would not trade that for the world. Keep up the good work there and, as you have time, I look forward to seeing what you produce here. 😊💛

I love your sewing content! If you need to make a separate channel for sewing so that the algorithm doesn’t penalize you, then go for it. I’ll subscribe. Just announce the channel name so I can find it. I’m happy with you putting out sewing videos according to your schedule. So even if it’s just once a year, I’ll be thankful for your time and effort. Your sewing content is very informative and I learn a bunch from it. Actually, you’re the one that convinced me to attempt to sew my own bra! It was your entire video essay that convinced me to venture forth. So know that you’ve made positive changes in the lives of those of us with rare sizes. I never thought my sewing journey would include lingerie—a vintage bra being my first attempt, of all things. But at least now I’m not dependent on some ridiculously expensive boutique with limited options and a so-so fit that could be discontinued.

[rosered]

I came for the sewing.
As an experienced seamstress I dont need sew along content. I enjoy the inspiration, the reveal, the chat, plus extra lifestyle content. The Person, the whole real person, as opposed to a put on noisy personality for filming. 💕I LOVE your personal style and gentle nature. Be blessed beautiful lady. Always ENJOY what you are doing Mama.😊

[folee_edge]

I love sewing, I love hair care...you could always change the name of your channel ☺️

[kamilla.sampaio]

I think posting the sewing videos on the real life channel is a great idea! Congratulations on your baby girl. 💜😍 Soon my husband and I will receive our baby girl too! I find your videos about natural hair care very interesting because I also take care of mine naturally, but I wash it only with water. And your other channel definately sounds nice to me because we share many interests. I will go check it out and subscribe ✨ Yah bless you in this new phase, Katherine!

I liked your hair videos and even if I'm not a mom I also watched your post partum belly binding video and found that very useful too. I dont sew. I think you're super talented but I can see why this topic (sewing) is rather niche. May I suggest to use the big channel for hair care, self care AND family life. And the smaller channel for sewing? And make sure to mention the sewing channel in each video to promote it. Because family life is a topic that many people can relate to. You are very knowledgeable and I'm sure you can share valuable insights about how to manage a family. Because there is only so much you can say about hair. After a while you will probably get bored. But there is so much to say about family life. Education, cosmetics for children, nutrition etc. Many people would be happy to be inspired by you. Family life is not a nieche topic like sewing. I suggest making one video on hair care for kids. One on cosmetics for kids. One on which products - if any - you use for your baby. These could also go viral in my opinion.

[alwaysathome]

You are a doll, and I get that you are a busy Mommy. That time of my life is past but I remember it well. I didnt find you until your hair videos and I have binged every one, some of them more than once! I love that you are a chatterer😊, long informative videos are lovely!

[WanderTrust]

just so you know, your original haircare videos actually caused me to check out your channel (also cause youre canadian!) and totally launched me on a historical fashion binge...like. hard. Your channel launched me into a whole new obsession, as well as haircare tips! I think the haircare stuff is more easily shareable, since I have sent it to a whole bunch of friends, but not everyone sews, so maybe thats why. The algorithm has been showing me a lot of the hair care videos, but I'm actually interested in the sewing more now since ive already applied some of the tips into my routine! I hope the videos even out soon, but I also get not wanting to be pigeonholed which is why i made my own generic channel as well XD I've definitely been interested in other parenting /family videos since im thinking towards the future of how i want to raise my kids, and cant wait to see what you have to say! Glad to hear you're recovering well :)

[kaikaimeripng]

We support you! Busy mama, YT algorithm, we get it all. I’ve really enjoyed both your sewing and hair care content, and appreciate whatever you’re able to crank out. It’s no small feat!

FWIW, I’m a homeschooling, cloth diapering, SAHM mom too and as I’ve watched your videos I have felt like we’d be friends in real life. Thankful for your channel and praising God for your sweet new babe. 🙌🏼

[merlynalexander]

I actually found your channel in November because i am growing out my hair & was at a point where i desperately needed guidance on how to care for it correctly. Your videos are the ones that made the mist sense and really helped me.

[susancoyotesfan]

I found you because of your original hair video which literally revolutionized my life. My hair has gone from just over chin length in November 2022 to Bra strap length thanks to you! I too have always wanted long hair but with super fine and fragile hair it just wouldn't seem to ever gain length.  Now that I understand better how to care for my hair, I have longer hair than I've ever had in my life and it's becoming healthier at the roots.  Thank you SO MUCH for sharing what you've learned.

I subscribed because of the sewing content - I lean a lot more toward traditional methods and types of sewing just as you do though I'm not quite brave enough to try making a corset yet. Congratulations and blessings to you and your family!

[jessicachipps]

I am here because I can relate to you as a creative seamstress with lots of kids. I will definitely be following the new channel and hope for more sewing videos!!
