  • My Sewing Friends! It's so good to be able to post a new video for you with an update on EVERYTHING that has been going on this year which, as you know, hasn't been an easy one for me.
    As well as an update on my breast cancer journey I've included some more info on what's going on behind the scenes, with the channel and what I hope to be doing next year.
    Now that we've entered the final month of 2023 (can you believe it!) I want to thank each and every one of you for all the love and support I've received over this difficult time, I have truly been overwhelmed by your generosity and kindness and look forward to making new TH-cam videos again when the time is right for me.

    I know it wasn't by choice, but your hair style is extremely becoming to you. Very chic and glamorous! I've walked this road as well, in 2003, and I’ve been sending you so much love and tons of healing thoughts and energy as I remember well what it was like to travel this path. Bless your heart ♥️

Its not a curable cancer so on treatment for however long my life is. I started seriously sewing a year ago & started following you. You are a fab teacher & a joy to follow.

    I've never seen anyone look as good without hair as Eveyln does. I think it is because she has a perfectly shaped head, and it really shows off her beautiful long neck and porcelain skin. The new-growth pixie style is cute, but if she ever wanted to go with the bald look, she can definitely rock it!

    I was diagnosed with Triple Negative Breast Cancer a year ago. I was given Keytruda, an immune therapy drug. I was stage 3b and now I’ve had what they refer to as a “complete response”. It really has been a miracle. I have a friend, however, who couldn’t tolerate it so it’s not for everyone, but it might just be info to ‘keep in your back pocket’ as we say.

    Dear Evelyn, I'm so glad you were up to sharing your journey; it means so much to a lot of people. Your optimism and hope in the face of such gruelling treatment (I'm sure there were times when you wanted to scream. "why me!"), are an inspiration for those of us who are facing tough times. I wish you well. If communal caring can make a difference to health outcomes, rest assured that you are going to beat this.

    I can't believe I missed your initial video talking about your diagnosis. I just wanted to let you know you're loved and appreciated. I live in Venezuela, and you have no idea how much your videos have helped me, not only to make a living for myself in a country where it's so hard to get by, but sewing also got me out of a depressive slump after a bad breakup. From the bottom of my heart, I sincerely wish you a happy and healthy life, and a speedy recovery. There's no doubt in my mind you'll get through this.

    I am a 23 year b/c Survivor of stage 2. I took the power in my hands and shaved off my hair. Polish your nails bright red to cover the black and blue color of your nail beds. And document everything. Depression is normal. Radiation can burn your surrounding skin. Love and Hugs Evelyn ❤ You are beautiful.

    We completely get it unfortunately. In 2016 our son got cancer (osteoscacoma) and passed away in 2019. Then, less than a year later my husband was diagnosed with B cell lymphoma and bone cancer. Right now, he is 3 years cancer free. It's amazing what you can get used to. You can make it! You are strong!

    Your videos led me down a path not just to build my sewing skills but of self discovery. There is so much emotion and personal identity tied up in any journey that includes something as intimate as clothing. If it had not been for finding your content when I was just starting out, I wouldn't have gotten to know myself as I have. I am so glad to see you back here, even briefly, and look forward to having you back when you are ready. Best of luck in your next stages and hoping for the best possible outcome for you! 💙

You look great! I also had the red devil , the maximum dosages. If I visualize it , I can still get a little bit nauseous. ☺️☺️☺️

    Thank you Evelyn for sharing your story which resonated with me. I was also diagnosed in Feb 2023 and have a very similar treatment experience. I was also heartbroken to learn that I would need 10 additional rounds of IV chemo after my surgery results showed an incomplete response to the initial chemo. I never cried so many tears and like you am now trying to adjust to what life looks like going forward. I don't think anyone truly understands unless they have experienced cancer and all it entails. I hope you are able to tolerate the new chemo (I find it much easier, but not easy) and wish you all the very best.

I have traveled this journey with her and although I can't even imagine her personal turmoil, I just want to be here for her and her family. She is such a fighter, as you appear to be, so I wish you the best results. Your attitude is amazing and this is such an important part of your healing. Please look into a plant-based diet from here on as the research is amazing for cancer care. (and so many other diseases)

I watched a couple of specific videos before seeing this one. You"re an absolutely lovely woman Evelyn and make a huge difference in this world, for the better as well as touching many lives. I wish you all the best and truly hope you are improving and recuperating. You are a beautiful soul and I think it is safe to say that anyone who encounters you or your videos is in your corner and is holding you in their thoughts, prayers wishes and sending you their love. You will always look beautiful no matter what because that is who you are! Truly hope you are doing well.
    Edit/Addendum: Just saw you were going to have the port removed a few days ago and are indeed doing and feeling better as this troubling journey nears it's end. It sounds like you've gotten a wonderful new perspective on life. Wishing you a trouble-free adjustment back to a new, happy and joy filled life.

    I found your YT channel about 18 months ago. I have quite severe physical disabilities that I struggle to come to terms with (I still want my "old self" back, and that ain't gonna happen!) so I'm constantly looking for something that will fill my days and help redefine me/give me a purpose. I bought a sewing machine with hand controls and found you very pleasant and easy to learn from - although I'm still not up to making anything yet! What I unexpectedly learned, from you and from your commenters and supporters, wasn't just about sewing techniques. It's that the world is full of beautiful and kind people who maybe just need an opportunity to show how beautiful and kind they are. Thank you so much Evelyn, may your treatments go well and may you always know how much you are loved and valued x

    Oh Evelyn...wow. And yet, what a treat to see your face and hear your voice! You are amazingly strong facing this chemo, again. I feel so much compassion for you, and honestly there are just no words I can think of to express how much I feel what you've been going through. You are such a treasure, I'm so glad to learn of the loving outpouring of support you've received. Truly wonderful. Bless you, dear one. Thank you for sharing with us all. ❤

    Sending you so many good wishes for your next chemo. I'm sorry you have to have more just when you are feeling well. Your smile and your positivity are so infectious. I had a Breast Cancer diagnosis 7 years ago. My treatment was relatively simple and straightforward so I can't even begin to say that I know what you have been through but emotionally I suspect I can feel a lot of empathy. Yes, the staff are just so amazing, aren't they? I'm in UK.

    I was diagnosed in 2015 triple positive. I was 38. Im so glad i found your channel. Im about to embark on a sewing journey. I learned to sew basics in high school. The past month I've been saving up for a sewing machine and watching every video to learn as much as possible. Ive bought my first pattern and have been studying it like crazy. Ive already learned so much from watching just a few of your videos. I hope you keep your spirits high. Even on the hard days. May God bless you with great health.

    So happy to hear your health update and that you are progressing. I have no personal experience in this type of journey. I admire your courage and honesty. Your reflections remove some fear of the unknown with cancer. Thank you for taking the time and your precious energy to let your followers know your struggles and triumps. Your hair is quite cute and your beauty is shining through❤

    So glad you seem to be handling the treatment well! My mom - sort of a hypochondriac, using illness/pain to manipulate others - went through a lumpectomy and node removal and radiation last year. She still complains of pain to this day, while all the doctors on her case say that none of their other patients have had problems like her. The burn from radiation did not come immediately, it slowly developed after, as it was the deeper tissues that were most damaged. Sunburn treatment - an aloe vera gel with lidocaine - gave her the greatest relief. Hopefully, you won't have an issue, but if you do, get sunburn medications. So great to see you again!

    So glad to see you. Best wishes for your continuing journey. I supported my mum for many years through several cancer journeys. Your comments regarding the doctors and nurses who care for cancer patients are so accurate. Even after she finished treatment, if a nurse saw her in the shopping centre, mum would find herself enveloped in a huge hug. ❤️

    My prayers are going out to you. My daughter is going through breast cancer too. She had a lumpectomy n they took her both lymph nodes. But just remember that God made you n He knows how to heal you. Jesus took the 39 stripes on His back to our hEALINGS. GOD WILL BRING YOU THROUGH THIS . God is in control . Keep thanking God everyday for your healing. It’s on the way. Keep your faith in God your healer. Keep positivity. I’m praying for you.You have this . This will pass too.

    I went through your journey in 2000. I had stage 3 lobular carcinoma, underwent a bilateral mastectomy and reconstruction (my breasts weren’t important enough for me to risk it since my sister had passed from BC), and 13 rounds of chemo (AC and Taxotere). Chemo isn’t great, but it’s doable, I always said. A happy attitude and loving support is the greatest medicine! I will keep you in my prayers and we’ll all be here when you get to feeling better. Your pixie is adorable! Sometimes I just click on your videos and let them run in the background for views even if I’m working and can’t actually watch. Hugs Evelyn!

    Your videos helped me sew my wedding dress last year, contributing to one of the most special days of my life, and that is such a tiny fragment of your impact. It is wonderful to see you smiling again and I really hope this round of chemo will be more gentle on you than the first. Also, the short hair is really cool on you❤❤

    I've been thinking about you recently and wondered how you were doing. Suddenly a video of you popped up in my video feed this morning! I'm so glad to see you and hear your progress. I'm sorry that you have another round of chemo to do and I hope it will be easier to endure than the first one. You are such a lovely, upbeat, kind, friendly and nice person! Thanks for posting and I hope you are able to enjoy the holidays as much as possible.

    I just found your videos while trying to understand how to sew darts. I'm not a great sewer, but your tips helped and my shirt turned out decent! I tailored a hand-me-down dress shirt. I didn't make it from scratch,, but I felt very proud. It pained me to hear your news, yet I'm inspired by your positive demeanor in the face of such challenging news. You truly radiate strength, beauty, and grace. Hearing about the support that you received from so many people also restored my faith in humanity. It reminded me that the world is filled with good people. This came at a time when I needed that reminder and inspired me to handle my current challenges with the same type of hope, conviction and grace. (And darn if it isn't hard sometimes!😊)

    One thing I used to tell myself when I was feeling sorry for myself was “this is better than the alternative” & now 7 years after I finished my treatment I’m living my life to the full, making the most of my extra time here on earth & relishing every minute. Good luck Evelyn, you’ve come so far you can do this last push & we’ll all be waiting to welcome you back when you’re good & ready.

    I'm so sorry to hear that you have been through such a battle. I'm an ovarian cancer fighter. Your videos have been such a wonderful resource to me.
