Im taking N1 this year after failing several times also. Will try to pass this time in 2024

is the green top you are wearing sewn by you? if so what's the pattern number and name please?

My sister asked me to make this for her, and I’m a little apprehensive about the collar and buttons, so it was really helpful listening to your thoughts on the pattern. Thank you for sharing!

No custard in my apple pie 😂

So very helpful. Thank you

Do you have to add to the seam allowance to do french seams on these? I haven't made clothes yet (very newbie!), but I've made a tote bag that used french seams recently, and I quite liked doing those. Thanks! Appreciated coming across this video. Core is one of the pattern companies I have my eye on for trying soon.

Thank you for sharing! I appreciate seeing that there are things you're coming back to, because you can do better now. It makes me feel better about starting a project, knowing I can always improve things later. I'm just getting back into sewing, so I don't have many works in progress. Most of what I'm working on right now is fixing things. I'm patching my way through an old pair of blue jeans with red fabric, and enjoying creating patterns with hand stitches and variegated threads. I have a lightweight, batiked Indonesian coat that's torn right along one of the seams. I'm having trouble figuring out how to fix it. And I have a tank top that's been gathering dust because it requires I do a box stitch and I don't want to 😅

I am very happy to have you back again

Please do a review of the puff sleeve blouse in different fabrics if you decide to experiment! I'm very new to sewing, and absolutely enamored with how different fabrics can transform a pattern.

Hello, it’s good to see you’re doing well and have decided on an update. I found your channel when I was planning to sew my Nova coat. May I add, I have yet to even begin and spring is just around the corner. I have decided to put it off til September. Yes, sewing is a slow process….at least for me anyway yet I’m excited to see your upcoming Wilder Gown (never can have to many). Happy Sewing!

Great review! Love these pants too.

This a very helpful review! Thank you so much!

Just purchased this pattern and love your review. You are authentic and beautiful. Hope to see more from you!

Fantastic! I look forward to watching more and will be watching your previous post! Be well!

My first time watching and you are lovely and I can wait to watch!

Hi there! I bought this pattern and have not made it yet. Love your video, you seem extremely authentic and you don’t know how much you help those of us who may want to start a pattern but need to see finished examples. It really helps to learn that a pattern runs big. I also need to practice fit and work on a toile or mock-up. Sewing in a lining 🫢. You’re great at this, your insight helps so much. Thank you for taking the time to put this out there.

Try the Sidewinder pant from Sewing Revival! You've helped me make the decision to try the Pietra Pants. Great review. I love how you describe the easy and hard parts. I think we are at about the same point in this sewing journey.

Your super pretty, you looks so happy

Subscribed! Great job!

I totally understand your reasons for not uploading for the sake of uploading. Also I love that coat! I’m currently making some shackets and they swim on me, too! But they are for my kids and they’re bigger than me.

So cute you did a terrific job thank you for the review

Yes to those Uniqlo pants! That’s exactly why I got the pattern. Great job on that linen, and great pattern review!

Great review! Thanks! Now I'm ready to buy this pattern!

Thanks for this info. I'm delving into a handmade wardrobe, and need items that are easy to sew, but don't look it. These seem like that.

Hope you stay inspired to make the second coat and share it.It sounds like it’s going to be gorgeous.

Great video. Great job on the dress. I am still a beginner going on 5 years now LOL. Fitting really trips me up. Agree on Professor Pincushion. You should also watch Peggy Sagers (Silhouette Patterns). She posts a ton of videos and I have probably learned the most from her about modifying patterns, fit and other things. This dress is the next pattern I am going to make. Thanks for the great video.

You’re a breath of fresh air! Just ordered the pattern. Your makes look great!

Hi! I'm a beginner too and I have found sewing with knits quite tricky. However, the sturdier or thicker the knit, the easier it is. I also made the Tyra tee and I love it. I plan to make a few more. I have also made the Stellan tee which is a free pattern. I started with that one and it has a few fun details to try so you might like it. So a few tips I picked up for knits: use a walking foot (which you already have), use spray starch to stabilize flimsy knits, start sewing about an 1/8 to a 1/4 in so your fabric doesn't get eaten in your machine. I've also used stabilizing stretch tape to help out with seams and or fabric wash away glue (sorry I forget what the actual name is). You can use Wondertape but you'll have to wash it first since it doesn't stretch. I also don't have a serger or overlocker. I use either a lightening stitch or a really small zigzag. I have also loved using a stretch twin needle to finish sleeve and neckline seams. It's quite easy to use once you practice a little bit. Doing great!

Thanks! The pattern reminds me of some linen pants I got from jjill and it would probably be cheaper to make!

“French seams all day, every day!” Yes! So happy to have found you😍

I so agree about high waters. As a very long legged woman, i could never find long enough rtw. Still dislike short pants...

I have a you tube channel. Beginners need to see others make the same mistakes they do, so they don't give up. Thanks for sharing the pocket issues. My pants have flopped, my first pair. I'm going to make pajama pants and shorts soon. With shirts to match. I will video my mistakes as i go. Keep the videos coming.

I enjoyed your video. I am an intermediate beginner and had trouble with these- I had trouble with the fit and trouble understanding the pockets- I might retry these now:)

Great sewing! You are beyond beginner level. I am enjoying your channel.

You did well for a beginning sewist. It's a journey don't stop keep pushing. My Mom was a seamstress (she was Japanese/ im biracial half Black) but I never got to her level because I stopped sewing. I want to go back to Japan and visit. Covid altered my plans. I'm starting to sew again so I feel like a beginner again. Keep at it, good job.

I just came across your channel. Love this video! This sounds like the kind of thing I try--confident beginner and French seams 😁 amazing! You've sold me on this pattern! They look fantastic on you.

I heard a lot about Japanese guys are so shy, so girls have to confess first. I found out that's nonsense. That's because they don't like you much. I was confessed by a Japanese guy. Even I want to be friend first, he still insisted & tried best to convince me he was the best for me. Of course till now he's still trying his best becouse I still see him as my friend :)))

I'm from Japan. I understand you hated that rude police officer, however at least you got your wallet and money back which should be the main and the good thing. In Japan they have many unwritten rules and even you don't want to follow them, you can't do anything against them. I also don't like some of them, but end up giving up challenging them.

I love your fabric selections. Please do an update on what you make, esp. the coat. Thank you

Beautiful colour fabric, thankyou for sharing.

2:44 Beautiful 💋💋love u💋💋

Hey gurl! ❤️ I bet that police officer was some old dude that didn’t want to do his job 😠

EXCUSE ME????? SINCE WHEN? OMG ?? CHILEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Hey I just saw this video. I love your hair and you’re pretty funny. 😂😂😂 Are you still with your fiancé?

What patterns do you recommend for beginner beginner? (AKA never touched a pattern before ) lol

Yes! It is so important to have that sense of representation! I am looking forward to hearing more! And seeing your sewing journey!

Hello :) Those pants look great! For me, a total beginner ( I've only done 1 skirt, 2 aprons & little bathroom bag) your skills are not on a beginner level lol. They are intermediate! Thank you for sharing, I plan to buy the sewing course from closet core pattern & this pants pattern is included. I'm pretty intimidated by pants, but I'll see how it'll go. Also, I saw, that you live in Japan, that's so cool! I've lived in Kyoto for 1 1/2 year myself :)

Beautiful makeup look I just subscribed and I hope you can return the favor lets help each other grow ♥️

Japan is the worse country in the world.

That quick run through the potentially big story bits like “got engaged, moved in with my fiancées family” 😂😂😂👀 ohhhh and the hoarding tip, that made me mad all over again, after I tried to hoard those limited edition or seasonal apple flavored sodas... 😱🥺😫 And I miss the batting center! 😫 Hindsight - should have gone more.
