As a guy that sews, I enjoyed you making things for Patrick. There is tons of content for sewing dresses, skirts, etc. and I’ve learned a lot of techniques from those videos. But there’s not a lot of men’s clothing. Thank you, and thank you for sewing things for others.

I love how compassionate you are to yourself! You have such a great and positive attitude toward your past self and your past abilities, as well as things that aren't 'perfect' but you love just the same!

Hi I’m a Granny who hasn’t sewn for 25 years … but I just dusted off my machine and gonna start sewing again. My favorite things were your baby’s dresses, black and white dress with the Paris fabric and the shirts you made for ur husband. Your custom wardrobe looks great on u! Thanks for sharing! (And yes I watched all the way to the end) ❤

Oh my gawd, I'm soooo impressed. It's official, I'm scared of failure! I bought a great sewing machine and all I do is read "how to" books. Jeeeez. Look at you and all those fantastic, sexy tops that look lovely on you. I'm INSPIRED.

Your pattern choices are so fun and unexpected. Many of them I’ve never seen before - such a treat!

You're so prolific! I've been sewing for over 20 years and I'm really inspired by your makes!

I am so happy to see someone so excited about her sewing journey. I am up in years now, but I remember when I first decided to teach myself to sew, there was no stopping me. I would make my own patterns or maybe draft two different patterns for a completely different look. The whole idea is it gives you a chance to express your individuality! And I think you've created some terrific items. Keep up your great work!

I hope when our country resumes its sanity we will return to Home Ec classes. So much can be learned by proper education in home sewing and cooking skills. Imagine a fun class on up cycling garments after basic sewing skills are learned in semester one. After my first year I took summer classes with a neighborhood lady. One of my fondest memories.

The dark red dress with the white print is the bomb. You have a talent for picking out the right fabric for the right pattern.

You should feel very proud of yourself and everything you have learned and accomplished. For a beginning sewist, you tackled some intimidating patterns. I especially like the dresses you made for your daughter.

From the thorough try-ons, to the detailed explanations, and not to mention all the gorgeous patterns, just wow girl. I love this video, it's everythinggg!

This is such an insane flex. I kinda want to learn now. 😊

I loved watching your video. It's amazing seeing all the different pieces you made. I'm shocked that you made so many in your first year but I don't doubt you put in lots of time and energy into it. Thank you for inspiring me to start my own sewing journey to customize my wardrobe!

I’m so impressed! I love that you’ve recreated the same patterns a number of times with small tweaks to make it more you or change the look - I think this is such a great way to improve and I will be taking a leaf out of your book when approaching my projects this year

Your year's makes are gorgeous!

very smart with your choices of fabric and patterns, thank you for sharing

That was just fabulous, Rachel. You are doing a great job. The best thing is your generosity. Everything you made I just loved. Oh to be your age again. I have been sewing since I was a child and have loved it all my 73 years. Greetings from Sydney ❤️🇦🇺🦘

Thank you so much for taking the time to make such a beginner-informative video!!! I have been sewing mine and my toddler girls clothing for the last six months regularly and I have learned so much each and every project! I have taken notes from your video and am now learning how to properly cutting bias tape, researching a French seems, and “hidden” seem too! Many other things I have learned from your video! I appreciate you also adding in the pattern names as well and have taken down names of ones I plan on sewing myself now! All-around wonderful video. Thank you again! 🧵😊

Wow!! Great work!!! And YES about using quality patterns especially for beginners! Plus, you will want to reuse a well crafted and detailed pattern over and over again! ❤❤❤

I just got into sewing in 2023. You made so many beautiful things! I’m excited to keep sewing!

Aw I love that you said that you'll keep that little dress you made for your daughter forever! Love!!!

YOU’RE AMAZING!! I loved all the dresses!!

Adorable! Thank you for sharing! You have inspired me to sew for my granddaughters!❤

wow! Really good job jumping in and not allowing intimidation to stop you from making clothes you love! I tell people all the time when they're impressed by my sewing that 'anyone can do this. you just have to WANT to!' Great job! everything is great and you can tell that you have really fallen in love with garment construction!

Amazing. those little girl dresses are the cutest. Love the crafting bags. Everything!

Gorgeous items and talent, such advance patterns and fabrics! And quantity!!! You are a force!!

I LOVE your satin cream top... you look great in that style! Thanks for sharing your sewing projects with us.

Wow so many beautiful makes!! Well done!!

I have some clothes that I want to alter to designs that I like more. Thank you for reminding me that perfection isn't necessary. I am excited to go sew now. 😊

Yay! Way to go! I liked the tops and bags you made.

Wow! I love everything you made, and looking forward to seeing what you make next! :)

I love the boat neck tanks!

Wow, Rachel! Gorgeous garments, very inspiring!

I really hope to finally dive deep into sewing and make clothes for myself. This has inspired me so much!

You are really good at picking the right fabrics for your projects!

What an impressive video. Fabulous makes. You are very talented and also very generous with your time. I loved every minute ❤

Im so excited for this video and im loving watching your sewing journey so far. Seems like i picked up sewing around the same time you did and i just love seeing what you make. Hope you have a fabulous week ahead

Wow 😮 they are nice. You have a great talent 💯 pls keep sharing more 👍

I used to sew many moons ago and this video kind of brought me back and wanting to try it again. I loved the variety in style, fabric, and colors. And the kiddo outfits were super cute too! Thank you.

All of these are so amazing!! Thanks for the tips!!

You’ve done a wonderful job sewing up some really cute stuff. Rock on !!!!

Oh. My word. Soooo many gorgeous things!! I will make so many of them. I wish I had your figure too but I guess that’s the beauty of sewing for yourself, everything will (should!) fit!

You have impeccable taste and know exactly what looks good on you. You also look like you could be related to the (equally very) elegant Kate Middleton!

Oh my gosh!!! I am truly ‘blown away’ 👏👏👏👏👏

I love your sense of style!! Everything you made is beautiful!

You look absolutely stunning and everything you made! I’m so impressed by your skills and it is so need to see how you went from easier to harder pieces.

this is incredibly inspiring, thank you for taking the time to walk us through these pieces and the roadblocks you encountered along the way

Beautiful. You used nice fabrics and colors, that I love. It's great that you know what's nice on you. You are so inspirative, thank you.

I am so glad the algorithm sent me this video!! I lose my sewing motivation semi-often but videos like yours help bring it back

Amazing...you are very productive and brave. As a woman of a certain age, who's been sewing for about 60 years, I am very impressed with you. I think you look much better in all the colors that would be considered to be in the Winter palette. (Pure cool jewel tones, pure white, pure black, navy, etc.) Especially stunning in the last dress: the black and white floral (Paris) short dress! The other colors in the Autumn and Spring palettes definitely wash you out, at least on my monitor. Find a color analyst and get it done! Try using a Teflon presser foot for sewing leather. Yes, I watched the entire video. Great production quality.

Just discovered your channel, you are so inspirational and for a beginner so impressed. Your choice of styles and variety of fabrics is a talent in itself. Your fun lighthearted personality shines through and your video was a delight to watch. I am a ripe senior of 70 and sewed a lot back in the day for myself and my kids, and yes made a white satin 'disco' shirt for my husband, that he actually wore lol. You have inspired me to begin sewing again. Keep up the great videos, and sharing your talent. You look so stylish and classy at the same time....👍

Wow! You have really been busy! Really great work for a first year sewer! I look forward to your next projects. ❤

It's my first time watching your content. It's so inspiring. Thank you so much!

All of your pieces are so beautiful. They’re impeccable to me 😅. I have made one circle skirt for my 4 year old and I keep looking for new things to make but I am so clueless that I’m almost frozen and can’t seem to start!

I loved this video so much. I was smiling the entire time. ❤ thank you for sharing this. I feel quite inspired 😍

Love your classic pieces.

Thanks for making this video! Really awesome inspo.

You did an excellent job. I enjoyed seeing everything.

And btw you learned quickly how to sew really well! You’re inspiring me to stop being afraid to just go for it. My ultimate goal is different in being 50s dresses and clothing, overall, but to even learn to so the things that you have made in that level would be a step towards that. Thank you so much for this video.

I also love the wrap skirt idea with the top. I might try that

Wow, for someone who has only been sewing for a year, your makes are amazing, well done. x

🎉 beautiful and amazing first year of sewing.

Wow, such an enjoyable video! I’m just blown away by the number, quality and variety of the items you produced in your first year, especially as a busy mom. 😍 Also all the helpful details, ups and downs, and things you learned along the way. Really inspiring, thank you. 😊

love the bunny and the gifts for family

Gorgeous makes. All the colours suit you so well. 😊

I love every peace that you've made!! The last dress, and the white short one are my favourites! I am gonna make one for myself. And the bunnies.. Omg really cute.😊 Thanks for sharing 👍 ❤

You made a lot of beautiful things. I love the tropical shirt too for my husband. He isn't slim like your husband, but he is tall and it looks great on him too. I made it as a pajama shirt first, and then with some white fabric with a silver pinstripe and a textured pinstripe through it, because he needed a dressy shirt but doesn't like to tuck it in, so this pattern was perfect for it. Now I still want to make him a couple in maybe a cotton or linen that are more casual.

Beautiful! Congratulations :) I loved watching this and, as a new sewer, found it very encouraging :)

Thank you! This was so inspirational for me.

You are so beautiful, what an inspiration, I just started sewing and so far I have made a sad bunny a flat bear and an almost cute tote! I’m excited to improve! You are so sweet to make things for others!

Love all the things you made! Can’t wait to try the Sicily dress!

I loved this video! So inspiring ❤

All your fits are amazing! Also you provide a lot of sewing tips I never even heard of before. First time to your channel. Will be watching from now on!

Ugh that terra cotta skirt and loose blouse combo is to die for! So cute. This video definitely got me feeling extra-inspired to start sewing again

So many beautiful pieces!! You’re very skilled! Loved the terracotta set & all the pieces you made for your daughter. So sweet!

This was a very fun video to watch. I'm a knitter/sewist/gardener with a 9 month old and had so much fun watching all your makes while finishing a sweater my MIL started for my husband 35 years ago. This year I plan on sewing a lot more since it's so much faster than knitting, considering how little time I have with darling baby boy. Congrats on all your progress!

Really good job, you look adorable in everything made!

This inspires me that I can make cute things I like and look great too for my first year! So many cute things ❤

Wow! Everything looks great! Your husband is a good sport. His shirts look great! 😊

I enjoyed this video so much! Your finished projects looks great and now I'm adding a lot of indy sewing patterns to my to sew list. 🙂

wow the bags and the hardware are so fun! everything you have made is very chic, all the clothes too! I love romantic vibe pieces and outfits, but i work in an office, and i am starting to get into corporate ish or more structured pieces too. thank you for sharing Rachel, such a lovely collection! and I can't believe you made all this in just a year! it takes so much discipline to start and see a project through to the end. and i am inspired by you finishing all these projects up neatly. also, i'm an autumn too, so it was a treat to see all these colors! also neat to see all the new skills you learned over time, the understitch, the french seams, etc. thanks for adding those details too. have a great summer!! can't wait to see what beautiful pieces you make this season

Omg I can't believe you have only been sewing properly for a year. Most of your makes fit you perfectly too. You have made so many items too. Wow.

I’m so impressed!

Wonderful job on all of them !! Enjoyed watching

Omg, your style is definitely mine too❤ I think every single sewing came out great❤😊

I really enjoyed this video. Beautiful, beautiful makes! I love your style and your clothes fit you perfectly! I had watched your latest video and was so impressed I had to go back to play catch up. Definitely looking forward to your future videos.👗🪡🧵🥰

I just can't 😂 the Spongebob costume you made for your daughter is SO cute, I love it! Also, great job. I can't believe you're a beginner at sewing. Your wardrobe is so pretty and it makes me more excited to try out sewing, once i get a machine. I was afraid i wouldnt be able to produce anything id want to wear within the first year 😅 you've given me hope that thet might not be the case lol

You should be very proud! I myself am in awe!!!

You're inspiring me! I so want to learn to sew my own quality clothing!

I’m inspired by you making shirts for your husband! I think I’ll try to do the same. I’ve been sewing since I was in high school, so roughly ten years, but I only recently started using patterns and working to make clothes that have finished edges lol.

What a great wardrobe! Friday pattern company has some patterns that look like your style.

I feel like this is giving me so much confidence that I can make clothes even though I haven’t touched a sewing machine in 15 years… you did such an amazing job on these!

I love the clothes. For me, they’re nostalgic of the 1970s, when I owned and wore some similar tops and dresses.

This was a fun video! While I have no intentions of seeing my own clothes, it still inspires me to be creative in other ways! So many great pieces. 😊

I've just stumbled across your channel and this video was so good! It gave me so many ideas! I've subscribed and can't wait to watch more of your videos! And all the links underneath are really helpful! 10/10 points!

This was such an inspirational video, ans made me want to take out my sewing machine again! Thank you for showing all the patterns and the editing was so well done!❤

Just found your channel. It makes me excited to document my projects and keep following your progress! You are very talented and it's fun to see what you've done so far.

This was so inspiring, thank you!

The Navy blue ribbed tank top around 49:15 actually really compliments you, with your skin tones it went really nice.
