I've always admired the both of you not only because of your stellar sewing skills and great style, but because of your friendship. It's so important to find friends in adulthood who share the same passions and values as you, and I have truly enjoyed watching your videos for years!

Dear Rachel, dear Nikki, I am so happy that you started your online classes. As a medium advanced sewist, I appreciate them so much, I live in Germany and wouldn't have to attend your class in person. My favourite one is the overlocker class.

Your story is still moving and inspiring. Have been following you for several years, so most wasn’t new. Still nice to hear. One question: next time could you show the questions just a little bit longer or repeat the question verbally? It was too quick to read them. Could guess it out of the comversation. So not major, but it did interrupt without adding much, if you get what I mean. Still 💕💕💕

You two are are great! I laugh and sigh at the same time. Thanks! Your stories resonate with most watchers! Right now I have to watch the wool episode again. My country is freezing right now, but I think I'll wait for some hot pink or bright yellow wool coating to come along...

This was excellent. I really enjoyed getting to know you a little bit and learning your story. So many of us who sew have started one way or another. I started as a child in a textile family and dropped it picked it up dropped it etc. and now I’m really looking for classes online where I can learn much more about how to fit my 70 year old body. Thanks so much. looking forward to taking some of your classes

I love the geeking and the wallowing descriptions. I can now feel clearer about what’s going on with me just now. As a teenager, I made stuff to wear ASAP, the brighter and bolder the better, but then it was the seventies, lol. Now, at 66, Returning to sewing during the first UK lockdown, I’ve surprised myself in the huge difference in how I now do things. Though still very much a learner again, I am doing your shirt course and watch and re-watch, and re-watch again, that has given me the confidence to work stuff out for myself now, and reinforces the feeling that I’m making good progress on projects that stretch me, and I find that I’m congratulating myself, lol, celebrating my small wins, and feeling great that I’m achieving better results, including patience with mistakes, arduous, unpicking and restructuring tasks etc etc!! I have loved having you two on my journey with me as inspiring ‘mentors’ and bright and cheery ‘sewing mates’, lol x Thanks for this lovely personal video, Susan x

It’s time for another Socialite Soirée! I’m traveling with Larry all over England in the month of June. We hope to see you both too! Am I right - did I take the last class that you ever taught (Santa doorstop)? Also, just curious Nikki - our Fat Quarters are 18 x 22 inches. Is that the measurement of yours? I miss Old Sodbury and The Dog Inn too. Happy Memories. Going on KZfaq with your sewing was what brought me to England. You were the first KZfaqr that was into sewing that I watched which started a whole new lifestyle for me! Thank you both. Hugs from Oregon.

So enjoyed this, really interesting getting to know a little bit more about you. Looking forward to any new classes for the future. I know they will be excellent has I already have a few and they are so good and informative. You two ladies really are the best :) Maybe in the future a book would be fabulous. I can just see you both now on the front cover in the brightest colours ever. xx

@StitchSisters Жыл бұрын

Gillian I can assure you I didn’t have black eyes and yes everything is perfect at home. It may have just been the lighting or me doing my make up differently. In the months that this video has been posted we have not had any comments like this, except this one. Please think before posting comments like this, I realise that you are concerned but this comment is not justified and I found it very upsetting this morning.
