@@mknowles2090 I agree. It's a beautiful place. Thank you so much for watching and sharing your thoughts.

Thank you for watching. I am happy you found it helpful. Happy sewing 😀

That will definitely do it. As of tomorrow, I will soley use sunblock and cortisone 10 for the itching. Thank you for watching and sharing valuable information 😀

Thank you so much for watching and sharing your kind support. I finally did😀

The dress is beautiful and fit for the garden. Enjoy your vacation.

Hello my fellow islander! You are no longer silent, Claudeen. I am happy you have commented, and it's good to know you are here. Thank you so much for your support. I appreciate you.

@karenchristensen9679 I appreciate it. Thank you!!

Thank you so much. The bracelet came out to play for the sake of the video. I will definitely get more wear once I am home.

Hi Donna, I have been busy every day and have not yet relaxed. There is home construction going on as well, so it's a challenge to balance both. Thanks for watching.

@ well girl, you do you and find some time to take it easy! Enjoy the company you are with and those lovely views!

Pearline, it's quiet and peaceful, but I have a hard time keeping still. I am trying to enjoy the beauty of nature.

Jean, it's really comfortable, and I just wish the internet connection was better for me to share more.

Appreciate you!!

Thank you! 😊

@@maxinekershaw9756 Hey sunshine... I appreciate your thoughtfulness. I am in Jamaica but can be reached at cookeka73@gmail.com

McCalls 81 98 is the pattern that was used to create the black and white blouse. Thank for watching and apology for the delay.

Hi Pearline. I appreciate your kind thoughts and is still on vacation to return soon. Thanks for the lovely wishes.

Hi Frances, I am sorry. I can't remember where I saw the method. I shared it because I thought it was helpful. If I find it, I will advise.

Hi Maritza... I am well, thank you. I am out of the country on vacation but will be back soon.

@@bregal6180 You are very kind. I appreciate your feedback and want to encourage you. Please do not be intimated as I am still learning myself.🙂

@ceblair4974 I am happy it was helpful. No, I don't have a video on the sleeve placket, but I will think about doing one soon. Thanks for watching.

Thank you so much for watching and sharing your feedback. I appreciate your time.

Hello, thanks for watching. I am happy this was helpful. No, you did not. I did not include the sew along for the house placket on the sleeve.

Yes, I simply folded to the inside.

@@cookeka Thank you! Still confused: If you fold twice (as pattern indicates) to inside then the top of the band has a raw edge (instructions indicate turning on fold, sewing across, then bag out and turn again to outside -- a weird finish). How did you finish that raw edge across the top?

@maryh8487 I think it's best I do a short video to show how I finished mine. I will try to do a short video to show you the finish on the last one I did and posted recently.

@@crazyleaf257 Hello, I do not have the instructions at this moment. However, I will take a look once I am off work.

@@cookeka thank you!!!!!

@@cookeka also noticed in the instructions there's no step for adding on the front strip on the right side. Only instructions for the one on the left I'm so confused

@crazyleaf257 The pattern did not identify ribbon as needed to sew the shirt. In the sew-along I showed how I made the shirt without using or applying a ribbon.

@crazyleaf257 Instructions for attaching left band is found #39 and #40 for the right band.

Your words provide encouragement to be patient and take the time to refresh. The classic styles appeal to me, and I take the advice of many others like yourself who watch and support my work. Thanks Grace!

Thank you!

@@deborahtate7763 Definitely taking a breather . Thank you for watching and sharing suggestions. Be back soon.

Hello Ruth. Your perspective on the sewing fatigue is so relatable and fits me perfectly! I am so excited that this has worked for you. I definitely will try cleaning up and try applying your method of focusing on that specific small project. I will refrain from getting into other things, and I hope it helps. Thank you so much for watching and sharing your experience. I truly value your time.

Kathy, I am okay with your perspective on the situation. I think I will call it the gold button collection. Let's see how things are after I return. I hope to capture lovely content in garments made. Thanks for watching 🙂

@kaygee8343 Hi Kay, I am happy you like them. Yes, I am trying to use the time to refocus and get projects outside of sewing completed, but it's difficult not to purchase fabric or sew. Thank you for watching and sharing your thoughts 🙂

Helen, thank you so much for your encouragement. I am wearing a dress from the pattern M8285 with some sleeve adjustments.

Suzanne, just reading your perspective on the golden jacket and the contrast it will bring to my darker garments got me excited. I truly appreciate the feedback and support I am given. It's always interesting as we all perceive this no sew period differently. I am anxious to begin sewing again, and I believe it will be over soon. Thank you for watching.

Lori, I know the feeling and understand the challenges. I am in a hard place and hope to get out soon. It is important to sew as it keeps my mind clear and allows me a healthy space to mentally thrive. I hope we resume sewing soon.

@@cookeka we will get back to you I know we will!!

That is awesome! I am happy it was helpful for you. Enjoy your effort and time warring that dress.

That is a great idea but challenging at times.

That's awesome. I am sure you will enjoy that beautiful jacket made with patience and effort. This will give you the best feeling wearing those pieces. Thanks for sharing 😀

Thanks Jennifer. A break is on the way.🙂

Thank you so much for your support and encouragement. I understand it happens, and I am trying to occupy my time with other things. Hopefully, a vacation will change this.

@@cookeka enjoy your vacation!

Rochelle, thank you for watching. I appreciate it.

@@cookeka my pleasure!

Helen... a break is definitely needed. Thank you.

Yes, that is correct. It was helpful during the making of the previous one I made. Thanks for watching Cynthia.

@cookeka Hi Karon, I always enjoy your projects. I feel you. I'm in a bit of a sewing drought myself. I am on a fabric and pattern band. And want to use what I have on hand as much as possible. But I am seeking help. How do you pre-treat your wool fabric? I was given three pieces of wool fabric, approx 5yds, each piece. They are nice pieces, but they have a slight odor. I want to remove it before working with the fabric. Also, what type of interfacing do you use in your blazers? Thanks for your assistance.

Nancy, I appreciate your encouraging remarks. Yes, there will be more of these types of days. I'm catching up on some patterns and letting my creative mind relax. Thanks for watching.
