Gunnar, As someone who was the only one in school who could not do a sewing project (even though it was not for lack of trying!) and was ridiculed by my teacher and fellow classmates, I thought I truly was a failure. Watching a video of yours for the first time, you sound SO helpful and make me feel like I can be successful at sewing some day! I am going to ask for a sewing machine this Christmas and learn! You make me feel like I can overcome the horrible experience that I dealt with in school and prove my teacher and classmates wrong! I cannot thank you enough! In the meantime, I will watch all of your videos and learn!

OMG!!!! I would go nuts in the fabric stores- I live in UPstate NY so nowhere near the good stores. What do you do with your left over scraps? I make doll clothes to put on dolls I buy from thrift stores. I plan to sell the clothes with each doll online for extra money. I am disabled/retired and a little extra money really helps on a fixed income! Also, LOVE how easy you make it look when you are making all the beautiful dresses, You inspire me.

Hi! Love this video - just wanted to say I think "Imperial trim and lace" is mislabeled as "imperial trim and bead" - Trim & Bead is just up the street closer to Maple, it's a rhinestone store - you can def get embellishments there, but Trim & Lace is down the street with the boas and hat forms and foam and all that.

I had to move from SoCal for employment reasons & I've never regretted a decision so much. I can't even begin to put into words how much I miss the LA fabric market. My obsession with fabric & making my own clothes began in 7th grade & never faded. My best friend was equally addicted so I have wonderful memories of spending days on end with her in my really big bedroom turned sewing room. My mum was really good about the room conversion until I told her I wanted to get rid of my bed to make more room for my sewing. I've made trips back to visit a few times & always come back with a fabric haul. I empty my Vanagon of all but bare essentials. I'd come back with it packed to the gills with my haul. Omg the buttons to be found there!
