Dear Sewing Friends - I finally gathered my bravery and filmed this Q and A video. I don't think I have ever done one - so this is unique, and.... very chatty. This is just me talking to you like two friends, on the porch with a cup of tea. I hope this is our chance to connect more and get to know each other better. Sharing my passion for sewing with YOU is truly amazing and I can't believe that there are so many of you that feel the same way about sewing. Thank YOU for watching and for being here - I truly appreciate it!

Sveiciens no Latvijas! Mazliet negaidīti, vai ne? :) Paldies par interesantiem video, Tevi ir ļoti patīkami skatīties un klausīties. Tik tiešām nav vērts klausīties bezjēdzīgos un virspusējos apvainojumos, bet turpināt darīt to, kas patīk un padodas. Lai viss izdodas! :)

@@ThoughtfulCreativity Ak, saprotu, kā ir ilgoties pēc dzimtās puses un, protams, arī pēc visādiem gardumiem un maizes smaržas. :) Man šūšana ļoti patīk jau no sendienām, bet ilgus gadus biju pametusi novārtā šo nodarbi, taču pirms dažiem gadiem atsāku ar lielu prieku un entuziasmu - tas man kļuva par mīļāko hobiju un perfektu meditāciju. Pārsvarā šuju sev apģērbu - tas mani patiesi iepriecina un uzrunā. Citreiz pati ko uzkonstruēju, citreiz paņemu kādu gatavu piegrieztni. Bet nu ļoooooooooti patīk tas process, izmēģināt dažādas jaunas tehnikas un arī smelties idejas un noderīgus ieteikumus no KZfaq labākajām fellow šuvējām - to skaitā, protams, Jums! :) Tiešām prieks, ka Jūs uzgāju pirms kāda laiciņa. Smeļos iedvesmu gan šeit, gan arī Jūsu IG kontā. Turklāt no Jums staro tāds pozitīvisms. Lai forša diena!

I definitely encourage to follow that dream! I enjoyed your answers but was a bit surprised at some of the invasive questions. 😬

Good grief! Your voice is FINE! How rude to comment on it! I started sewing on my mother’s old, black singer machine when I was about 10. But I’m not in your league! Thank you for your wonderful videos. I live in Maryland, USA, but grew up in many places, since my father was in the army. I got to go on a wonderful trip in 2019 visiting Latvia for a Rye Bakers Tour. I loved Latvia and Riga! Beautiful, beautiful country!

Hi from the UK. You are a delightful young lady and I love watching your videos. I haven’t been sewing long when I came across your videos and I so enjoy following you, you are very talented and have inspired me to try many different projects. I also love listening to your voice, fascinated to hear about your life too. Keep up the good work.

I am very voice tone sensitive(squeaky voices grate on my ears) and I’ve never thought your voice was annoying. As others have said, it’s a softer, lovely tone. As you shared what your little voice box went through as a child I can see how grateful you are to have your voice!! And as you were sharing here how much you love sewing and how much joy it brings you to share with others I know this touched you WAY down deep into your heart, so much so you wanted to cry!! Such kindness from your heart shines through 💖 And the WORK it takes for you to present each and every video - WOW!! You have such commitment to your craft, thank you for sharing it with us ❤❤❤

Hi, I usually don’t comment but I just had to. I want you to know that part of what drew me to your channel is your voice! I am not trying to make you feel good…I really like your voice. And for those that think otherwise - don’t feel bad - you cannot be everybody’s cup of tea! I love your very practical videos. Thanks a lot

I read that title about your voice and thought “what? what do they think is wrong with her voice?” It’s your unique voice. It’s yours and nothing wrong with it. Rude comments. I love your channel and you are an inspiration. CATS! My favorite too.

This is such a charming video! You are so natural and open! You’ll smile when you read that I never thought your voice is a problem. It makes you unique as well as talented. If you think of why a singer is ‘popular’, the singer has something unique about his/her voice…..therefore memorable! Joy Bernhardt told her viewers to watch you. Glad I found you!

Thanks for being open to talk about yourself. I am watching from Australia and definitely know of Dolly Parton. My least favorite part of sewing is setting sleeves and I will avoid it as much at possible 😂 I think your voice is sweet and it would be boring if we all sounded the same.

Greetings from Kansas! I've been sewing for 53 years. I made my wedding dress on an old Singer treadle machine that had been modified with an old, stand-alone motor to turn the wheel. Used it a lot in my teens, even replacing zippers on my jeans. I just subscribed and love to watch your pattern drafting videos - so glad you're keeping the art of home sewing alive!!

I am watching you from New Zealand and I LOVE watching your creativity. I have always made and altered my clothes and enjoy seeing your take on how you do things. I am 70 years old and still enjoy sewing. Thank you for your videos. I don't have anyone who likes doing what I do so I often watch you with a cup of tea and feel as if I have had a friend over for a chat. Please don't stop making videos.

Thank you for demonstrating such courage to address the comments about your voice. Your journey and how your parents dealt with the situation is inspiring. I'm the mom of an incredible young man with three speech disorders. Our journey has been arduous, but he has the most beautiful voice I've ever heard. Your parents may have felt the same way about you. I'm so proud of you for using your voice and giftedness to touch so many!! Love from Florida.

You are such a beautiful person, your voice included. Your kindness and passion for teaching come across in every video. Anyone who has negative things to say about you, is really only conveying a deficiency in themselves. It makes me sad that so many helpful people on KZfaq have to deal with such meanness. All we can do is pray for them and move along. Your daughter is such a sweet pea. Thank you for sharing your story with us ❤

Watching from Puerto Rico; all I can say is you be you. I've learned so much from your videos and you've become a very dear teacher of sorts by simplifying what used to be unnecessarily complicated when sewing. Thank you bunches for what you do and share with us through this YT channel and your other social media. Virtual hugs to you 💗

I am so sorry you have received negativity about your voice! I noticed your voice, but I love it. I find it incredibly charming and engaging. I get similar YT comments about my hair, which also has its origins in a childhood medical issue. May God bless you, little sister, for the very gracious way you addressed this (and other) sensitive topics! And I agree: Praise God through Christ Jesus for all the ways we can share with each other all around the world.
