I feel so fortunate that I have you for a teacher/on line friend. I can't tell you how much I enjoy your channel. That little dress you made for your daughter was so sweet. It reminded me of my baby girl. (she is going to be 30 this coming April). Lol. I would love to know where you get your fabrics if you have a second. Thanks so much my friend.

I LOVE this. I teach a sewing class to underprivileged adults, and we rely on fabric donations. But when donations are low, we raid the Op Shop (thrift store) that is part of the organisation I work for, for old clothes, and there is always a surplus of old jeans. So these tutorials (like many others of yours) will make it to my class here in Australia! :D

I love the apron! It's also nice to use when cooking. I'm really messy and always wiping my hands on my pants. Also it reminds me of aprons that my grandmother made for all of us kids, She had long pockets towards the bottom and made individual stitching for us to keep our crayons, colored pencils in.

Excellent projects. . . and timely. I am currently designing a lined travel vest with zippered pockets (inside and out) to be made from my husbands old jeans. I can incorporate some of your tips! When I travel, I put phone, wallet, passport, etc. in vest pockets. I remove the vest only at security. My valuables are fairly safe. I was really grateful for this habit when I once left my handbag behind at an airport lounge and was grateful it contained only lotion, lipstick, and other easily replaceable items. I think I’m going to make your bucket hat too! Thanks for the inspiration!

As you can see by my name on this comment the blue dot is missing and at the top just under your video I have the "join" option to choose, when I am already a member.

Marion, I just saw your comment on the skirt post for Members and then on here and then on the Members Extra video and you are right - same name, same account picture but one has a badge and the other one does not. I have never seen anything like this happen. I wonder if you accidentally have a google account and then a separate yt account, one is logged into YT, the other one is not. Or maybe your computer needs verification of your account. You know how sometimes you use your email service for weeks, but then when you need to update some options you have to login again... maybe that it is the same. I would need to reach out to YT support to see what is up and maybe they can help...

@@marionlacey1074 Marion, no worries! Life happens :) let's see, when you go to your KZfaq profile, top right corner with your photo/profile picture there should be an option menu - "Memberships and purchases" - click on it and take a look what it says there, if there are any active memberships, and see if you can see what an is happening there. Maybe your payment options were connected to the old Gmail account? Maybe it erased your payment options? If nothing - there should be a question sign that says "help" - you can contact KZfaq support to help you out with that, because if I reach out they can't see your account and therefore can't help me to help you, but if you reach out from your account they should be able to help and see what is going on.

But yes, reach out to YT - let them know what is happening, usually it is in a chat form, so you click on a little "?" mark symbol from the menu options when you click on your profile and type in your question and they respond back to you. I am so sorry I am not able to help you more!
