I absolutely love your channel. My mom was the one who passed along her love of sewing to me. When I was 11, she put me in a class at a singer store in the sixties, which was smart on her part because it can be difficult to teach your young child something without getting frustrated. 🙂 I have been sewing ever since making my own clothes, my daughter's clothes, and now my granddaughter's clothes. I've always shied away from making my own patterns but you have changed that for me.Thank you so much for passing along all of your wonderful tips, tricks and lessons on sewing. I'm so glad I found your channel! ❤️

I do alterations, I call myself the village idiot. Lol. Not many of us out there these days. Seriously. It is a dying art. I call my mom all the time and tell her that I didn’t know whether to hug her neck or kick her butt!!! She laughs and says that she didn’t teach me much, just how to do it. She is so wrong. She taught me and gave me the love of it. It has given me much joy, and peace. Planning on watch your videos! Thanks! SEW ON!!!!🪡

My Mum taught me to sew when I was a little girl. She worked long hours and was a single Mum for most of my life. Sewing clothes for me and herself helped with the household budget - fabrics were so much cheaper then. (I was born in 1958). But I didn't really catch the sewing bug until I was around 17 or 18 years old and started making an outfit through the week to wear out on the weekend. My best friend and I would plan what we would make - usually our own made-up designs - simple but sweet! I sewed a ton for my sons when they were little, but again, simple stuff. Thank you for bringing back the memories. Thank you, Mum, for setting me on the right path in all ways! She's been gone for 6 years now, and I miss her everyday. Thank you for sharing your Mum's brilliant ideas!

I learned from my mom and both grandmothers over 60 years ago. One grandmother sewed (clothes, curtains , quilts, aprons, etc.) almost exclusively with feed sacks and as such she would often use the snip and rip process to straighten fabric. Of course that type of fabric did not pull like you described. My other grandmother worked at one time for a large department store in New Orleans that had both RTW and custom made clothing. She taught me hand sewing techniques including buttonhole stitching, using tailor’s tacks and invisible hemming. My mom taught me basic garment construction along with knitting, crocheting and needlepoint. I taught my daughter to sew and she does some and my youngest DIL has learned and she is in the process of creating a sewing business. Together she and I are teaching her 3 girls, although they are mostly in charge of choosing the fabric since all three are under 5. They like measure and write it down, but at this point , their designs are top secret as they are the only ones who can interpret their notes. lol

My mother doesn't sew but she taught me about two very important things: scissors for fabric only and the grainline. She doesn't sew but she loves her clothes and she grew up in a world where clothes were still largely custom made, by seamstresses, and she she at first couldn't believe I would want to bother to make my own. Now, she just cannot believe that I can make things she likes... and envies. I'm actually visiting her this week-end and I arrived with a Deer and Doe Sirocco jumpsuit and a Sew Over It Mollie top I'd made for her in fabric of her choosing, and she wanted to wear them immediately. Big win!

Some very good tips for new sewers here. :) The plastic pocket is an excellent one for pattern matching and a really good reason to start saving some of the clear cellophane type plastic packaging with a little bit of stiffness that flat goods often come in, not least because I like to use all my plastic pockets for storing my traced pattern pieces! The softer clear bags are useful too for putting under tricky fabrics to stabilise them when machine sewing instead of tissue paper. They work well and tear away easily leaving no annoying white bits stuck in the stitching.

Don't be afraid to snip and tear your fabric! It's a huge time saver and it works perfectly on about 90% of woven fabrics, and if it is going to distort your fabric, you'll know right away so you can stop. In cases where the fabric won't tear, your method of pulling a thread works like a charm.

However, I didn't learn to sew from her because we have never lived in the same state...but I so wish I did, and really love hearing about women passing down this beautiful skill through the generations.
