Not just artists but we artisans as well. I don't have the vision of a true artist but I have the skills to take someone else's vision and craft it. Yet always there is a point of, "Okay, hmmm, tricky... And I get out of this pickle how?" But I always do, and learn something new in the doing.

This is random but I just wanted to say THANK YOU SO MUCH for having captions. A short story: I'm hard of hearing, and a few years ago, KZfaq removed fan/community captions. This means that creators have to do captions themselves, and so many just don't bother with it. We used to have users be able to submit captions in their native language to help everyone out, but so many of them were completely deleted. And KZfaq's automated captions are atrocious, and they never work when you need them to! So whenever creators go the extra mile to do their own captions, it truly means so much. And to make things better, your captions are even funny and have musical descriptions! I watch your channel with my mom, who is partially deaf, and we love your work and your captions make that so much easier. So truly - thank you!!! Also, this skirt is GORGEOUS. One day, I hope I can have a fraction of this skill so I could make something like it for myself!
@Shamariah2011 2 жыл бұрын
This is a serious question I’m not being facetious or rude… Why do captions describe sounds like “pins rattling” or “Soft music playing” if a person who has been deaf since birth wouldn’t have a reference for that sound. Is it for folks hard of hearing who may have lost hearing but has a memory sound recall, and if so does the sound memory fade over time? Thanks for whoever answers
@MedorraBlue 2 жыл бұрын
@@Shamariah2011 Some people who are functionally deaf might have a slight amount of hearing - not enough to understand a noise, but enough to recognize that it's there. And those captions are great for when you hear a noise, but can't identify what it is. For example, my mom has moderate hearing loss, and some music just sounds like "a beat" or she can just hear the bass. Or she might hear a "scratching", but not know if it's paper rustling, our dog running around, a sound outside, and so on. So these captions are great for identifying those sounds! They can answer questions like "I hear a deep, continuous sound, is there music playing or is someone talking?" or "What's that high pitched, scratchy noise?" And finally, for people who are 100% deaf, those descriptions can help give a sense of ambiance and mood to those who might not hear sounds from "off camera". This was a great question and I hope this helps! :)

@@MedorraBlue this was absolutely amazing response. I may have to screenshot it and start giving this speach whenever someone asks me this. I do love the captions too, but for so long bernadette's channel had so many commentary from the person doing the cc, and it was so hard to keep up with what was said in the video, and what was someone else's inner monologue. This has however been fixed, and I love it. Also, i noticed that some of her older videos in which she used to call her sibling "sister" has now been changed, as they started using they/them pronouns. I do believe in respecting everyone's pronouns and gender identity, but changing the captions from the original source is not good. The captions should be what other people will hear, "nothing added, nothing removed" is a general idea of captioning and interpreting. I know it's small thing, but it does carry on a bigger influence.

I always thought that sewing was something that I could never do until I started watching Bernadette and saw that using much slower and more controlled hand sewing it was still possible to make incredible things. I’m still very much a beginner to sewing, but I never thought that I could even be that, so thank you Bernadette!

I purchased a 1914 treadle Singer machine a couple months ago and spent several days joyfully restoring it to it's former glory. Thankfully the previous owner had been a tailor who maintained it in excellent condition for decades, even though it was rarely used after the first few years (technically I suppose the owner's father was the tailor, but the son had taken care to store the machine well after his parents passed), so my work was mostly on restoring the finish on the wood, giving it a thorough cleaning, and replacing the leather drive belt. It now has a place of honor in the living room where I can sew comfortably, and I'm getting the hang of using it so I can give it the active life it deserves.

If you dont think it would damage them if you have ones you would keep to a season of the year due to weights of fabric or so, there are special bags you can get that vacuum seal the fabric down. A twin comforter can be sealed down to less than a foot tall. It would allow you to store a few on a shelf instead of hanging in a closet. Course...

From Little on they took me fabric shopping and involved me in the designing and construction of my clothes. I treasure the memories of that time in my life.
