Seriously, your videos have brought my mind to a whole new perspective on sewing. It's like going from cooking with recipes only to "free-hand" experimental cooking/cooking by feeling. Except, we went from using store-bought patterns that someone else made to being able to think through how the pattern can be made ourselves! Thank you.

This is the most awesome comment and feedback! Thank YOU so much for giving me the inspiration, what you just wrote is the exact reason why I do this! To think through the patterns, to be guided by our creativity, to have fun and experience sewing on a new kind of level!

Thanks again my dear. The both ways looks fabulous. It really took no time to make. I also have one of the bias binding tool but it's 2" and indeed to get the smaller ones for things like these. That linen looks beautiful.

Love learning sewing from you! Thank you for sharing your knowledge + wisdom. Hand sewing is soul satisfying + pure joy for me. i m a teensiest bit intimidated by sewing on machine - you helping me overcome that -- after that i tackle-ing the serger! Husband brought a used one home for me as a surprise and i nowhere near even figuring out how to use it yet [but am so thrilled to have it!]

Hi, your videos are the best for me. Thanks for teaching for my understanding. Please, I want to ask why you always take your shoulder measures from the front instead of back shoulder? And also, why you always use center back measurement for your front piece too? Do you have illustrations on basic bodice block? Do you have basic trousers drafting video?
