Im just really frugal and one thing most people will throw away or give starts to freely are plants which makes them very cheap filler decor. I couldn't keep anything alive for years... and then I actually tried harder to and now I have a ton of plants. I find myself joining gardening groups because I still have tons of questions and tons of issues they help me solve.

More beginner tips: Buy a second-hand machine! They're inexpensive and usually work just fine. Buy an older machine, as in not digital. If something breaks, you can fix it yourself. If thrift shops are cheap near you, check their fabric section or sheets for making wearable muslins (mockups). Also, that old lace! Ahh! Lucky you! It isn't made that way anymore, literally. There are only a few people who still make lace and it's expensive (rightly so).

Cherish every moment you have with the people you love most. She taught me how to sew, knit and embroider when I was 10. I have been sewing on and off for many years. We had a Singer machine that folded into the built in working table. I think my grandmother purchased it in the 50’s?!? It actually has held up until last year when it finally broke and wasn’t repairable. I bought a new Singer because the old one was so sturdy... but they don’t make them like they used to! My passion now is knitting! Another extremely expensive craft! Anyway, I love your podcasts and look forward to seeing more of your episodes in the future.

I think what you did for Mandy, the lady who lost her mother, was very sweet and kind; I know we are in a different world now with COVID-19 and unfortunately for me and my family, we lost my mom to this deadly virus on July 10th; and today August 21, we laid her to rest along with her brother (my uncle, who passed away in 2018, just 3 days shy of my moms 75th birthday AND 30-minutes after her visit with him) and my sister Kimm (who died in 2015 after a 6yr battle with breast cancer); so it's been a very painful time. ALL were laid to rest Friday.....Why am I telling you this, because you've shown a heart of love and understanding. 🤍💜 I have my moms sewing machine, her sewing basket, her moms sewing basket and her moms (my great-grandmothers) sewing supplies!!!

I’m 36, and I’ve been sewing ever since I was 13. My mom sewed, her mom did as well. My grandma had over 30 grand children before she died, but I was the only one who sewed, so one day when I was 16 years old, she gave me her antique iron Pfaff sewing machine. She said she wanted me to take it before anyone else had a chance to grab it when she passed away. She passed away about eight years after that, and sure enough, my aunt was looking for that machine lol. I don’t use that one, I keep it strictly as a decorative piece in my sewing room. But I do have three other machines, and I use them all. Two of them were given to me. One came from my mother, the other came from my ex-husband‘s grandmother, and the third one came from Goodwill. It is vintage and all metal, it was only $16 and it came with its case, user manual, everything...and looks as though it was never used! I think it’s from the 1950s or 60s. Anyway, Christine, you are so great at this! It’s amazing you’ve only been doing it for 10 years and you are self taught! You give attention to detail and all of your work is very tidy… I’m actually taking pointers from you! My grandma would be very impressed by you, she was always very picky about her projects being perfect. I still have and use the sewing shears that my mom gave me when I learned how to sew when I was a kid, and I’ve never had to sharpen them. The other day, I was at Walmart (ugh)… And they had this really pretty cast metal pair of sewing shears with gold handles for $12, and I had to have them just because of how they looked. Turns out… They cut extremely well and I love them!

Yes! Bring on the cocktail dress tutorials!!!! Tip for saving money on fabric - the thrift store is a great source. There are lots of old garments and occasionally curtains made of interesting, even luxurious fabrics. Ps, a good seam ripper will be your best friend if you go this route! I've made some lovely pieces this way

I love my mother, she is the BEST mother and so much like you. You remind me of her, even the way you look, your taste, interests and talents and clear compassion and natural, ladylike elegance. I am hoping to make one of these for her and have the middle section say either "Mama" or "Mother," just need to purchase the pattern from your site :) Much love!

For all the beautiful sewing you do id recommend a bernina sewing machine! They are more on the expensive side but they are durable, I am a costume designer and I work as a student stitcher in a costume shop at my school and we use berninas, we do a lot of period shows and these machines have always been really reliable 😊

@stephanie castro They are expensive. I use an older Janome machine, as they are sturdy and incredibly reliable. They’re also much less expensive. For my lightweight projects, I have a cheaper digital Janome machine with Hello Kitty branding. I love it as well, but it’s harder to thread and it can jam. Berninas are hard to beat though. In my day (back when dinosaurs roamed the earth), Husqvarna made incredible machines. I think Singer bought them, and now they’re... Singer. 😕

This is the most beautiful apron I've ever seen - The little bat is adorable. I wouldn't be able to wear it for fear of getting it dirty. You are a true craftsperson and the attention to detail is unparalleled.

Cats love all the hobbies involving fabric , paper and strings. My mom always had our two old giant floofy cats on her fabric as soon as she laid anything down. They even braved theloud sewingmachine because they just wanted to be near and on the work. Even if it involved laying on an open box of sharp pins. It's good they had the thick fur protection. I myself am not sewing beyond a few little alterations but it will still be laid on by a cat and knitting wool will have had catdrool on it, I'd pull my string and suddenly I'd have a wet spot of a broken thread altogether and I'd look down at a happy cat. They pur just being there so I'm sure they enjoy it without even playing. And I second the suggestion for leather thimbles for hand sewing. Other people on youtube making historic garments have them too.

I own a 1960s pink "Atlas" sewing machine (okay two). They are divine and I could see you using one for display and to sew with. The never need to be binned for a broken plastic gear! I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend a Singer 401A which came in tan/brown but have amazing little round knobs for stitch selection. So perfect. I have seen them re-painted in amazing pinks and blues. Vintage sewing machines can be very pleasing to look at and I love the all-metal ones. pre-1965

There might be a lot of people in this world who will never understand the pure joy and rush of finding a bag full of victorian lace at an estate sale for a dollar. I feel truly sad for those people and lucky that I belong to the group who does.

I am a huge multi-tasker. I can't usually just watch something and only do that, so often I'll set up some youtube videos and maybe sew, maybe paint or draw, anything while watching. But with you I cannot do something else. I have to put my sole attention to watching this because it's so wonderfully produced! I know I will have to work harder at my sewing/painting/whatevering later but right now I have to put my full attention to this. Thank you Christine:)

Hi Christine! I just found your channel yesterday & I am HOOKED! My Husband & I live in Brentwood, Los Angeles. About 4 years ago, he bought us an Old Silent Movie Star era Gothic Castle with two turrets on it. It was vacant for about 10 years. I cant stand anything modern, so when my Sweet Barry bought this place he KNEW I'd love it. AND, to top it all off its haunted. I love your taste & I'm in awe of your creativity. I have upholstered all my own furniture. I sew, paint etc. Everyone always teases me because I constantly have paint under my nails or little bruises here & there from putting together cabinets & just being clumsy. When people walk into our home they either love it or they're too scared to come in. lol I went with a lot of antique Tapestries, European Antiques "True Gothic" style. I want to give you a little hint on where I get my stuff. There is a FANTASTIC Thrift Store in Van Nuys, CA. They're called MTA Thrift Store. I've known the owners now for well over 10 years. They get a lot of their goods from the Movie Sets here in Hollywood & they also get a lot of Estate Furniture & just really cool stuff from the widows & widowers in Beverly Hills. I've even bought real old garments just because I love the material & either have made throw pillows outta them or even made clothes. This place is a real "Feast for the Eye." and their prices are unreal "as in low." Anyway Christine, I'm going to Binge watch you & get more ideas. You really are not only AMAZINGLY talented but your also very kind. It comes through in your videos Hun. Thank you & have a lovely day my Sinister Sister! xo

Now all Mandy and Rachel need is an apron for their apron. They would not want to get that masterpiece of an apron dirty with messy cooking substances.
