I am so happy to see you making content again. It doesn't matter to me what you focus on, as we grow and change it is nice to see your channel evolve! Missed your beautiful face girl.

I once heard someone say it doesn't matter how old you are, when your last parent dies you become an orphan. It's confronting, painful, isolating and challenging to find yourself again.

Sewing, shopping, stories, and style. Happy to see you continuing on KZfaq!

So excited for you new direction. I firmly believe that when creators do what they love instead of what they feel obligated to do only good comes from it. I similarly moved my channel direction a bit a year or so ago and the numbers were hard for awhile but I at least love everything I do now.

Darling your sweet smile has been very missed. Sorry for your loss and the grief you've delt with as a result. You are very brave for posting about your depression and hardships you have been dealing with. Much love to you, can't wait till February!!

S word for fashion: sartorial! Love that you are back and excited for the future:) thanks for sharing your grief and journey with your mental health-it’s so important to know that none of us are alone. ❤ to you

S is for STYLE And more seriously, thank you for taking care of yourself, and for sharing your authentic self with a bunch of semi-strangers on KZfaq. Much respect for that! I’ll be looking forward to your new content, especially because it will be made in a way that’s healthy for you.

STYLE (the other s word) Excited for the changes coming!

I think most of us have outgrown that whole "all vintage all the time" thing. Good to see you again!

S word for fashion: STYLING!

I have missed you so much!! I am really looking forward to your new channel. For me, grief use to be the enemy. Now, it is a gentler reminder with happy memories and love for those lost. I wish you contentment and joy in this new endeavor. See you in February!

Glad to see you back, babe. I make KZfaq content as well and used to post multiple times a week years ago but I hit a lull and it's REALLY hard to get back into it. For what it's worth, I LOVE your content and hope you'll make more sewing content because I am brand new to sewing and it's super motivating to sew along with you!

Yes, I totally agree about your statement regarding our relationship! It makes sense to me. You're like having the best sister ever! I, for one, am grateful for the community you are gathering together. I've never met you yet feel the care and support of this strangely distant yet present 'family'. As such, there was a sense that something was not well for you. While being in dark places is never pleasant the reflection on life that it causes can be a good thing. May you continue to grow in strength, stamina, and wellbeing. Wish I could call in for a cuppa and a chat, but the commute from Australia is a bit too far! I think we should all have a pyjama day together! S word for fashion - Style.

It was SO GREAT meeting you at DragonCon and I’m so glad to see this video after we chatted a bit about your plans. Really proud of you and excited to see the new content! ☺️

Sewing, shopping, stories and style.

I’m so happy that I’ll be seeing more of you’re face next year. You are one of the first people whose channel I subscribed to years ago because you’re just such a joy to watch. Thank you for sharing what’s been going on in your life. Change isn’t always a welcome thing, but good can come from it. So excited for what’s next 👏!

I can’t wait to see where life takes you! Tons of respect for knowing your limits and taking the time you need. Much love and I am definitely sticking around to see what’s coming 😊

Literally just found you and have been binge watching your videos, I found you through a pattern I wanted to get a review/tutorial on. I’ve found that patterns with the number + the name have HUGE hits for vintage/reproductions because no one really does them but when they do it seems like the view counts are pretty good. I subscribed for a totally different reason, you’re*real* - it’s annoying to watch videos of people who seem so plastic and push brands, products, ideologies, because for whatever reason it seems like *everyone got the same memo at the SAME time* and it’s all you hear across soooooo many channels. I LOVE that you’re interests are varied and still manage to have a cohesive theme through your channel. It’s so hard to find a real one on YT and I feel like I’ve found a gem! I have shared your channel with errrrrybody I know ❤ but want to say always remember YOU are the most important thing and your health and well being is number one. Big hugs 🤗 and keep doing you!

Thank you for being so relatable Jen! There is truly no saying what someone is actually going through through the mask of soical media. Thank you for always being REAL! I have followed for years now and love that no matter what changes you are always JEN and FABULOUS! That heart will never change. See you in February !

So happy for you!! I'm also getting therapy help for a large period of grief because of the loss of my father and my dog who was more of a soulmate than a pet. Thinking of getting my own channel back into production makes me root for you even more!!! Sending love and lots or creativity! You're going to do great!

I think a lot of people are feeling lost. Trying to get back out in the world. Missing loved ones, seeing how the world has changed. I feel your struggle 😪. It is very hard to get out of that deep dark place. I admire you for being able to tell us how you have been feeling. Talking to someone helps so much, but it takes time. Waiting for your call 📞. ❤️❤️

Thank you so much for sharing- it resonates on so many levels (the dynamic between creator and YT, grief losing an elderly pet, and depression.) Happy to hear about the new direction and hoping you’re finding a comfortable path forward through all this. So beautiful to be aware and acknowledge that some days will be better than others, but onwards!

Style as your other ‘S’ because you have so much style! The new channel sounds great, I’m very excited for the stories! Great to see you again ❤

I’ve always told myself that it’s okay not be okay because I’m trying my best and someday it will be okay. I think being kind to yourself and putting the best effort you can no matter what that looks like in the moment makes it easier❤❤❤❤❤ It’s so good seeing you again!❤❤❤❤

Hi Jeniffer, this is the second of your videos I have watched. I am so sad for your losses, please know you don't walk this path alone. Let me say I am Sorley Impressed! Your willingness to open your heart and share your journey through pain and healing means a great deal. Thank you so much. I am looking forward to February 5th, as well as checking out your previous content.

I'm happy to see you come up in my feed. I, too, have been struggling with finding motivation to start creating again. A lot happened with life/health that really takes it's toll in ways that people never could really understand. I am looking forward to seeing the new direction you are taking the channel, and I am happy you're back. 💚

Thank you so much for sharing your grief. I too lost my mom in the past year and am again feeling sad about the death of my father. It’s anniversary time this month, which intensifies all those feelings. On another topic, I just recently saw your video about the vintage dress challenge you and Stephanie shared, an loved your detailed approach to resizing and sewing. I immediately subscribed and am looking forward to future adventures with you!

You words about grief and being ok/not ok are so real and heartfelt Jen. So sorry for your losses. I am looking forward to the relaunch of your channel very much 😊

I believe this is one of your best videos. I'm sure you have touched so many people like myself and others who have gone through loss, struggles and difficult times. Thank you!❤

So glad you're back! I missed your face.😉

Sewing, shopping, stories, and style! (instead of the word fashion) :) I'm very excited about the direction you're going and can't wait to see your new videos!

Jennifer!! It’s so great to see your sunny, funny face again! I’m glad to see you’re doing better, and I love the new plans for the channel! My mum lost her father in October, so we’ve been dealing with grief too. She’d love to chat to you to just talk through her grief and yours. Looking forward to seeing you again in February; have a simple Christmas, and we’ll just go watch your backlog of videos while we wait 😅 Also a word for fashion beginning with s: style!!!

My sympathies to all your losses Jennifer, I have a close friend currently dealing with becoming an adult orphan recently and it's been a hard struggle for him too. You have all my support and healing energies.

JENNN! So happy to see your beautiful self! Excited to see your plans come to life for the channel. WE LOVE YOU ! Been here for years, i cant believe its already a decade since your youtube started. You were A HUGE inspiration (and still are) when I began dressing vintage. Here to send you continued support and best wishes! Keep being you, thank you for always being real with us

Meeting you at DragonCon was one of my favorite memories! I proudly have my pin on my lanyard now :) (And I've been able to recommend the costix to other costumers, too.) Grief is such a challenging journey. I am so sorry you have endured so much lately but am thankful for the ways that you chased after happy. Thanks for encouraging us in that too. I am excited your are still going to share your fun, spunk, and creativity with us. Thank you for taking that journey. I can't wait to see what's coming!

Having lost both of my parents, it does change you. I also lost a pet just before Christmas in 2011. Depression and other mental health disorders can take over your life. I always promote getting help. I was diagnosed with PTSD due to dealing with a loved one and their drug addiction, I sought help and so glad I did. The loved one got help and has their addiction sorted, and I have learned how to manage the PTSD. Hugs to your for your loss and look forward to your new channel vision

Here to support you 100% I can't wait for you to restart your channel. Here to support you 1000%. I absolutely understand where your coming from. I'm in the same boat, reinviting my channel and trying to get myself off the ground is a huge struggle. Sending you all the love and YT hugs

Hi Jennifer, I just found you through Stephanie. You have been through so much. I look forward to watching more of your videos. I lost my mama 10 years ago to Cancer and my Dad 2 years ago to a massive Heart attack. So I feel you Hun.

You've had a tough time for quite awhile😥. BUT you have this amazing ability to share your talents and humor and heart with others. I think it helps you too. 😻

Oh boy , been dealing with some of the same grief and depression/energy things myself. So glad you are taking care of yourself!

As someone who also struggles with depression, I just wanted to say that seeing you here/online has always helped me feel connected to a community that I generally don't fit into (or at least I worry I don't). I am glad that you are finding ways to keep enjoying youtube and social media. I am looking forward to seeing where you take it next!

So nice to see you again! I think the new content will be awesome! I'm so sorry for your losses, I can definitely relate to the grief and depression, I've been battling it since my teens which it's safe to say seems to be a lifetime ago. I lost my mother in 2012 and my father 2 years ago. I recently found out from my Aunt that the anxiety that I also struggle with has been consistently in our family! Who knew! 😆 Anyway, I know what it means all too well to be in that deep dark place! It's scary to be there, I recently over the summer went and sought help. It's so important to recognize when we need an extra hand. Needless to say, I'm a huge advocate for mental health, and we all need to take time for ourselves no matter how long that is and it's never fair to ourselves to compare ourselves to others. I'm learning all this as I go along in life. Sorry for the book I typed. Lol! But I truly wish you peace and success! Never forget that you're surrounded by people who love you. Thank you for sharing.

My boss and coworker went to a conference in Chicago a couple months ago. We discovered Weird Chicago while planning for the trip. So fun that you are involved with them. (They did send me an obligatory pic in front of "The Bean." I'm a fan of world fairs.) Looking forward to what comes next for the channel. 🌻🍄

I’m so excited to see you here, and I can’t wait to see the new direction you’re taking. Glad you’re doing what makes you happy! I’m along for the ride 😉

I love that you are niching out! I know so many creative people feel stuck in niches and I am glad you are looking at all the things in a broader more 'you' way!

Giant hugs… I have never been a grand success in my you tube channel but I totally went through this I made a lot of videos over the years and I have chased that view count. I’ve dealt with depression chronic illness and loss. So much love Jen I do get you. I’m am so sorry about all the loss in your life. We lost our cat Percy to a very fast cancer and after that I didn’t film for a long time and still only do sporadically. I started focusing on doing only what I wanted to do say or film at the time I can relate and I want to give you a giant hug and tell you that I’m here for you and whatever you want to share with us

I'm glad to see you back at it again and sending virtual hugs and love your way. Grief is such a hard thing that never really goes away it just changes. The last few years have been that way for me. I lost my brother, grandfather, and then last year, both of my grandmothers within a month of one another.

I used to watch you years ago, you taught me how to do pinup hairstyles during a brief tiptoe into it. (Gosh, like...2011? 2012? polka dot background. I don't even remember what account name I was under) Then I got kinda lost for a few years, depressed, moved, had some stuff happened... The last few weeks I've been trying to feel good about myself again, been getting back into vintage styles and fashion again, sitting here trying to remember how to do a pin roll, frustrated, and your voice popped into my head. You changed your channel name! You look amazing! oh my gosh!

I feel you on the saying of “it’s okay to not be okay”… it’s a slippery slope, for sure!

I feel like this is going to be one of my fav channels once it relaunches. And i hope you continue with therapy and growing because you deserve it.

I'm so sorry to hear that you've suffered so much loss in what sounds like such a short period of time. I think that grieving is an ever evolving process. I've found for myself that while I never stop missing the people or pets that I've lost eventually those losses get integrated into my psyche and it gets easier. It's okay to not be okay, but it's also okay to be okay even in the midst of grieving. Watching a fun sitcom or movie or hanging out with a friend, etc. can still bring some joy into your life even when you're suffering. Sometimes distraction can bring a helpful perspective that reminds us that life can be good and that the possibilities for healing are out there. I've really enjoyed your videos over the years and you've taught me so much about how to do vintage hairstyles. I'm still going to be looking at those videos so I'm glad they're not disappearing entirely. With the pandemic I kind of lost track of this part of my life. I've recantly learned to embrace and style my natural curls which honestly is just as much work and requires just as much product so I might as well start throwing my hair into rollers again, right? :) I'll be looking forward to seeing the changes you'll be implementing! In the meantime, be gentle with yourself. We're rooting for you. Also, if I ever make it back to Chicago I'm taking that tour - I'm betting it rocks like Motorhead.

It's so nice to see you again, Jennifer! And I can't wait for the new version of this channel coming soon! I'm sorry for your recent losses. Sending you sooo many hugs! 🧡

Good for you! We all change and want to explore other areas and facets of life and ourselves. It’s just a new phase and a refresh but the same lovely person! Keep on growing! ❤ 😊

I have missed you being here, and thank you for taking the time to sit down and tell your very private story, that can't have been easy for you. I am thrilled to hear you will be making a return. through you, I found my vintage road and rediscovered my love of sewing. Have a great Christmas and Happy new year, sending my love and best wishes, from the UK xx

You are so sweet and genuine- I can’t wait to watch whatever you have for us ❤

Hi. I've put a note in my new diary on feb 5th and am excited to start on this new journey with you. I'm so sorry for what you have been through. Taking life day by day and being easy on yourself is something I have had to learn to do this year and you explained it beautifully. Sending you huge hugs ❤

I love your sweet spirit and your honesty about what you have been experiencing.

Sewing, shopping, stories and style/styling

I am beyond happy to see you back! So much of what you said resonated with me...the spectacular ups and harrowing downs, especially. But, as always, we push through. Even an inch of progress is progress. God bless pajama days!

I’m new to your channel, and I love your content and message already. I love how you put it: it’s Ok to not be OK, but don’t use that as an excuse not to care for yourself. Thank you 💕

I stumbled on your channel and heard you like spooky, serial killers, ghosts and goblins and of course vintage life. In my mind we are now best friends. Subscribe! From one creep to another ❤

Sewing, shopping, stories, and style. I didnt look throughthe comments. There were just too many. New subscriber. Looking forward to it.

Hey, girl! So happy to see your smiling face today as I have missed you a lot. I have been dealing with the loss of a dear dear friend along with my ongoing issues with bipolar disorder and anxiety so I can totally relate. Excited to hear your plans for the channel and look forward to weird stories especially. I suspect you are a very talented and engaging storyteller so bring it on!!

I'm going to willingly follow you into the this new journey.

Its good to see you back! Like you say, grief is such a weird thing and the world has been so strange, its hard not to let it drag you down sometimes. I am so glad to hear there are going to be more lives, I really enjoyed them. They were one of the inspirations behind me thinking about doing one (hopefully in a couple weeks, eek!). I started doing youtube last year and then grief and sickness got me so down. I have been back at it the last few months and it has been really invigorating and has gotten me inspired to sew. I hope it helps you in the same way.

It was so nice to see you back! I am sorry for what life that has hit you with over the last few years. I lost my Maggie dog in November 2020, after a very brief illness, and then lost my mum three months later, in February of 2021. It is really hard, I emphasise with you 100%, I am only just starting to get back to my old self. I am so pleased you decided to continue on KZfaq, and I am really excited about the future of your channel. It’s given me something to look forward to in the new year! I hope you have a lovely Christmas!

Hi Jen, so happy to see you back. I’m very sorry to hear of your loss. I understand those feelings you describe. I’ve walked a mile in your shoes. We’re all here for you, wherever your channel goes, and I’m excited to see your new content! ❤

It is so good to see you again. Thank you for sharing the struggles you have had. It is really helping people. Looking forward to the new adventures you have in store.

I'm so sorry for your loss. It's hard losing a parent. Not being is okay for a season, but you are right. It is no place to camp out or live. You have to press on and live. It's what your mama would have wanted for you. Blessings, my friend, as you move through this season.

I’m so happy for the new things coming. I’m also glad you’re prepping so you won’t be stressed while relaunching. Spring cleaning is a good thing. Sometimes we all need a break. Yes, I’ve lost people and grief is a hard thing. It is a hard knocked life for us. I completely understand. I had to change jobs to finally be ok. It does take time. It’s ok if you can’t. I know a few people who pre film so they are ok in having days they can’t. Also filming in PJ’s is ok too. I’ll see you soon, and I’m looking forward to Feb.

I'm so happy you're back! I'm looking forward to your new content. I'm sorry for what you've been through and truly appreciate your honesty. Be gentle with yourself when you need to be. It's not always easy. Take care.

I'm so sorry to hear you've been struggling and for your loss, Jennifer. I think we all go through seasons in our life and it naturally affects our creative outlets- sometimes it just isn't happening! I'm so glad to see you back though and look forward to your new content! 💖

Soooo happy you hot out of your pajamas today! I can empathize with you; I also go through bouts of depression. Is that could say, when you can you can, when you can’t you can’t. Thank you for being so candid. Looking forward to your new channel!

Love your energy and personality. Loved your content before but I am totally here for your rebranding, debuting on my birthday, (what!!!?, yessssss!!!!!) Sewing, shopping and stories (of the strange and unusual) are 3 of my favorite “s”s. Can’t wait to see what you do next.

I absolutely love your channel! I've been riding around the idea of starting a channel talking about my own mental health issues, and your honesty has given me that courage. ❤

I've been a subscriber for almost 2 years, and was so surprised/excited/happy today when I looked at my KZfaq notifications and saw you! I wish could put one thousand hugs in a box and Express Mail them to you!

Fashion = style! I will miss the hair tutorials, but as long as it's a bit of old Hollywood glamour, I'll still be here! I sent that before you started talking about grief. I'm so sorry for your loss. Xx

Don't go away! You are creative!!!

Thank you for your honesty. So many of us are struggling, myself included. It’s nice to know we’re not alone and hear more about how others deal with the ups and downs. Another S word: Style? I can’t remember if you already used that one.

I’m excited for the relaunch, you have been missed. Congratulations 🎉

I am so sorry for your loss of your dog. I just wanted to say thank you 😊.

Sending you loads of love Jen ❤ I’ve been not so great at keeping up with all my KZfaq videos In the last year but happy to hear you’ll be back in February and in the meantime I can catch up on the videos I’ve missed! Sorry to hear the loss of your sweet pup ❤ and glad to hear you’re taking care of yourself xxxx

Sewing, shopping, stories and style!

I’m so happy to see you in my subscription page again!! Can’t wait to see your channel evolve!

Watched you years ago and so happy you are still here.

OMG Hurrah 😁 your back🎉. I have missed your videos sew much! Looking forward to your new direction and my motto is Slow and Steady keeps me happy most of the time. Missed you Jennifer have a wonderful Holiday Season and see you February 5, 2023,

Welcome back, you were missed!

I'm so glad to see you back and I can't wait for the new videos!

Yup, here for whatever Jenn does :) Love you lady!

How lucky am I? I subbed during your hiatus and this is my first notification. Great to meet you! Rooting for you and will be here!

I found you by way of Stephanie Canada, love your videos😊 I absolutely love your tea mug /cup,,,👍 I will definitely keep watching ♥

What a wonderful surprise to see you this morning. I love watching your videos. Loss of loved ones is so hard ❤ I’m glad to see you’re here today. Looking forward to February 👍🏼❤️🤩

Take care of yourself! Sorry for all of your losses that you have endured recently.💐

Style. Sewing, shopping, style, and stories

Bless you love, It is lovely to see you back again. I am so sorry about your loss. Their energies will still be with you, because hey! Who wouldn’t want to be with you, you are funny and creative and informative you are a fantastic presenter I could go on my dear. You be good to yourself now, and enjoy your life, your memories and your achievements. God Bless you ❤

I have been looking for you forever..glad to see you again

It’s so great to have you back! I really love your hair colour. ❤. I am so excited about the launch of your new channel 🎉 What an interesting story, I had never heard about it before. Jimmy Stewart is one of my favourite actors. I read somewhere in an interview with him, he said that when he needed to show distress or grief in a movie, he would think of all the young men who were lost in his squadron during the war. 😢

This is so exciting. I decided yesterday to not look at my phone. Just a break. Squealed this morning when I saw a new video. Cant wait for Feb. Take care. Hugs for everyone

I am SO looking forward to your new channel content YIPPEE you are my style icon for sure

Hey Beautiful Soulful Jen, We missed you, I'm glad your back 💕❤ My condolences for all your loved one losses... Big hugs, blessings, & much love 🙏🏼
