I’ve cried almost everyday and sometimes several times a day since my mom passed away October 3, 2020. I have a little sewing room and sewing was something we had in common. I haven’t been able to really get back into sewing since she passed away. I’ve recently started organizing my sewing space in hopes that it will get me motivated. I miss her dearly and want to honor her memory with all of her patterns, fabric and sewing notions that I acquired. I’m praying that starting to sew again will help heal my heart and take away some of the pain of losing her.
God bless you. My mum passed the same year. Of course you would miss your mum everyday. When tears want to fall from my eyes, I remember the good times we shared and her words of encouragement & guidance. It is hard ❤
@@sandie4yeshua God bless you too! Crying helps to relieve some of the pain, but in the mist of it all, I draw on the good memories and the woman I am because of her. I now realize she is the love ❤️ of my life! I just wish I had told her that……. I hope she knew that!
@alleykatt6110 I believe that your mum knew that you loved her. I found that i only truly knew the depth of my love for my mum when she had gone. I take comfort that I was able to care for and be with her night and day over the days it took her to pass. It was lockdown, so I simply moved in.
That sounds sad miss. I hope you are doing great now I'm sure she's proud of you and watching you from above Stay happy and one day we'll neet her for sure ❤
Thank you for reminding me. To not let emotions and feelings and worries. To push through. Sew, walking, be gentle with yourself. Sewing gets my mind off things. Thanks🙏😇🥰
That is really good advice you gave about sewing even when you don't feel like it. I'm sorry you're having to move. Moving is really stressful, especially when it's unexpected.
Grief is an important process, it honors the value of what we lost, whether a home or a dear sister. So grieve, with all of the truth of those feelings, but with hope. And creativity is the physical manifestation of that inner hope. I've had many moments in the last year when that is hard to remember, but the moments when I do manage to get my lips above the water and get a breathe are usually when I am doing something creative. I'd call that blouse a good job remembering to hope.
Greetings from Canada Alexandra. Your next landlord will be so lucky to get you as their new tenants. Look forward to the process of finding your new place and decorating it the way you want.
Thank you so much for such kind words! I hope so to and more! Sending greetings to Canada, I would love to visit one day! And so interesting that you'd be up for watching the process. Maybe I will share! :) x
Amen to that sis! I’m so glad I clicked on your video. The Holy Spirit legit knew I needed sewing inspiration and I didn’t know you’d be sharing God’s Word in it! So happy to subscribe and sew alongside you. I’ve actually just started my own business designing and sewing modest clothes for women inspired by my mum who used to sew and the Proverbs 31 woman 😊 May God provide a home that is exceedingly and abundantly above and beyond what you could imagine and may the moving process be cleansing so that you feel lighter and brighter from it. Thanks for sharing how you rejoice through tribulations. That’s what the apostle Paul reminds us to do and it’s so beautiful to see it lived out through sewing 😊♥️
My goodness! Your insights are very healing and inspiring! Thank you to the heavens for sharing! I pray your move goes smoothly and that you find yourself in an even better, more beautiful, more inspiring space! And that you have "just enough light for the step you're on." Because that it what keeps us in the moment and focused on the good! Peace!
Pushing back the darkness with creativity. You will make the next home shine and I am sure you will find a place to sew in sunshine! You have given me inspiration to keep having a go with my sewing. ❤😊
This is such a beautiful video. I need to always make myself watch this when I’m feeling down to remind myself to gain perspective of whatever’s bothering me and continue to move forward. I hope you find yourself in an even better house in much more lovely location. ❤
You have such a beautiful spirit. I love that you are working scriptural lessons in with your creative lessons. We so often forget God made us as creative beings to learn and make mistakes. Bless you and your family. You will find a place to live. God has you 💕
You are so right! I own three sewing machines and a serger..when I face a difficult time, I no longer create..but, rather I go into a shell emotionally..I am beginning to power through whatever comes my way now. Thank you for acknowledging the sentiment. Sometimes we have to move out of our own way!
You are so right a out the enemy using our sadness! After my mom died I didn't see for a few months. I finally b realized that my mom was my biggest cheerleader and would want me to sew. I am so glad of God and His goodness.
Sadness is a thief … you are so right. Thank you for your beautiful videos and wise words. The art, act and thought of sewing has taught me so much about myself. The top looks so cute on you.
Alexandra, you are a beautiful person, inside and outside. You are near to your feeling and not afraid to share this feelings or ideas with us. It's very generous from you. Your blouse is very beautiful on you. Sorry that you have to leave this house but I'm sure something good will happen for you and you'll find the best place for you and your young family. Fingers cross. 🤞🤞
Thank you so much for sharing your sewing despite your daily stressors... sending hugs! Moving is never fun especially when it's pushed on you suddenly:< I'm a military wife so I know the feeling of just settling into a house and being told to pack up and go. Hang in there, lovely! We're all cheering you on!
I always look forward to your uploads. My favorite cozy sewing content! I’m sorry you have to leave your home, I understand the uprooted feeling very well. We recently moved apartments and while I’m very grateful for our newer/bigger place, I still feel as though I haven’t settled and it makes me anxious at times! I pray that you find the perfect new home for your family, with a lovely new sewing spot just for you! 🤍🪡
It takes a while to make a new place feel safe and cozy and like home. I feel like I have just managed to do that, we only moved in less than a year ago, so yes I completely understand! Thank you for your kind words - so so nice to hear you enjoy the videos! And I wish you all the best in making this new place a safe haven for your little soul!!!! XXX
I’m so sorry to hear that you are going to have to move home. I do hope that you can find a new place to live that you love ❤️ even more than the house you’re in now xx
Thank you so so so much for this inspiring Video!!!!! I found you just a few weeks ago and I am so utterly obsessed that I got my sewing machine out after many years of struggeling and depression. To be honest, I still did not sew until this video. I know now, that I have to get my life back and not letting win the enemies of my mind. God bless you !!!!! Sending love from Germany💕
This comment is so kind! Thank you for sharing a little bit about your story. I never know what will happen when I post a video, so to hear things like this makes me feel very honoured that I could play a little part in your getting back to your hobby! Keep going! Sending love! XX
Love that top, it would make sweet summer jacket too. Good sense about sewing and losing yourself and forgetting the sadness. Hope you find a new home, and I’m sure you will be very happy there, with your positive outlook on life x
Another beautiful video ❤ I love this type of videos so much. ❤ glad that you keep doing it. You find a another house. Sometimes it is mend to be and there will be something beautiful waiting for you.
Alexandra, you are so genuine. Thank you for sharing these messages and your sewing with us. Life can be difficult, but finding joy in the people, things, and moments that make our life full make it all worthwhile, just like you're doing. ❤ I also clipped my sleeve the other week as well. A good tip to fix it, thank you!
Your philosophy is so spot on Alexandra, I totally get what you are saying. I have a tendancy to crawl under a rock and become inert when things are not going how I would like but as you say so well, why turn away from what makes you happy? I love sewing but don't do it when I am sad. I really agree with Sharon... you will find a much better house that you will love even more. It's already waiting for you. Trust in the process. Thank you so much for your beautiful energy and wise words. They really do help 🙏 And your blouse is magnificent, really beautiful! 💖👏
I am so glad you get it (I was nervous people would misunderstand which they might) haha but it’s reassuring to receive comments like this! Thank you for your encouraging words about the house. I am believing for something good to come our way! 💕
What a lovely blouse, it looks so cute on you ! You are so right, for me sewing and knitting are the best therapies when I feel depressed, it keep my mind on something productive instead of focus on negative thoughts. I hope you find a great place for you and your family, I have moved so many times in my life that at my 40's I finally realized that when you live in a house surrounded by the love of your family, even a little shack is just absolutely beautiful! God bless you
I am so sorry to hear that you have to find a new place -- and I can feel your pain, especially once you've felt you were just starting to feel settled in. Also, you have inspired me Alexandra, I've been feeling sad because I have not been able to sew (amongst other things) as much as I want to (well, until this video I THOUGHT) I could not...so thank you.
I've been loving the videos you've been sharing lately, they're so gentle and relaxing to watch. You have such a calm and joyful spirit that spreads light! Even on days you maybe feel otherwise. And your top turned out darling :)
Can't wait for my machine to get back from the shop! Oh that top is cute. Sure the peplum is a very nice cut when fitted closely. A little corset-like, the flounce slightly bustle-like. Feels so sexy to wear when fitted close. 😉
Can totally relate to you. I too have to move in June end to a new city. And I thought I will again start sewing in August. But I picked up a blouse and decided to start with small alterations to keep it going. May you find a lovely house. 🪷
I totally agree. Sewing is very therapeutic for me. I just wanted to say something I noticed. When you set your iron in the metal holder. I have this & noticed you sat it flat. It sits angled with the irons pointed end against the metal piece the protrudes down. It is safer if a child bumps it. It keeps it secure.❤
Hey i feel your sadness, its a shock to be lifted out of your home when you have just settled. You have a great up beat personality and i know you will figure it out. Things generally work out, i have had a lot of upheaval in the last few years. Involved removing a difficult tenant so I could sell my family home, which was where i raised my now grown up children. I am now very settled in my forever home these last 2 years and it has been challenging making it my own, but finally i have and i am settled with my new cat family lol and one of my sons living 5 mins walk away. Things will be good and i am sure you will love your new home when you find it. Praying for a successful transition for you and your family. Much love ❤
Thank you so much Sheila. Sounds like the last few years have been intense, but so nice that you can live so close to your son! As a young mom, I feel like that's such a dream! Enjoy this season. And thank you so much for your kind wishes@ X
So much wisdom you have been blessed with Alexandra. God has great plans for you and your family. Wishing you all the best with your move in future. Love your beautiful top and pretty fabric, suits you. Thank you for sharing this message. Xx
This is your best video!! I think we started sewing around the same time and since your beginnings I have watched and enjoyed all of your videos, but this is definitely the best... I hope your new home makes your current sadness simply a distant memory. I send you my best vibes.🤗
Ah thank you so much! I was in my season of making cozy sewing videos! I loved it! Yes, loving this new house so much, I don’t think about the old house at all! The people were right!!!! It is better than I could possibly imagine! Also, thank you for watching my videos!!! I feel so touched and humbled that people would spend time with me and my creative endeavours! X
I really enjoy your videos. I felt so identified with cutting yourself off the world and regular activities when sad :( I think I will take your advice and push myself to do the things!
Wow you look so lovely, it suits you, pink is so cheerful so like you, New adventures on the horizon lovely ,everything you say is true you are so uplifting Thank You ❤ xx
I so look forward to your videos Alex! You got the formula right for your channel: sewing + wisdom :) Love what you said about creativity being a power we were given. Needed to hear that:) And coming from someone older than you, don't worry about moving. I've found that things always have a reason and things always works out for you.:) hope this helps. Sending you much love to where you are now:)
Ah thank you so much - it’s only something I have discovered recently, this formula as you put it, but it feels right. Don’t know how else to describe it. I hope I will look back at this move and think “it worked out for the best” I really really do! Thank you so much for all the love. Sending love back!!!! Xx
“Life doesn’t respect sewing schedules”-I felt this 💯 !!! I pray you soon find another beautiful home to love and continue to create wondrous works of art like this video and blouse! Really loving this blog series ❤️.
Yes 100% it's true! Life has no respect for sewing schedules haha! Thank you so much, that's also my dream and prayer! I am so glad to hear you're enjoying the videos! Means so much! X
My darling, thank you. I was meant to listen to every word you spoke. The Lord owns the cattle on a thousand hills. I will pray to the Lord to bless you with your own home that no man can tell you to leave. When God opens a door, no man can shut it. Beautiful blouse ❤ 🇬🇧
Oh Sandie, thank you so much! If only you knew how the Lord has blessed us. A year later since this video was made, we are in our own beautiful home that the Lord provided for us!
اي مكان انتي موجودة فيه الكساندرا جميل.واي منزل وجودك فيه بيزيده جمال.❤ومع ذلك يعجبني حبك للخياطه وبتخليه يخرجك من اي مشاعر سلبيه بتواجهيها وتحويلها لمشاعر ايجابيه بمجرد حصولك علي قطعه ملبسية جديدة من صنع ايدك.تسلمي.🎉
شكرا جزيلا لمثل هذه الكلمات الرقيقة لك! أنا سعيد جدا أن الفيديو الخاص بي وجدك! shukran jazilan limithl hadhih alkalimat alraqiqat lika! 'ana saeid jidana 'ana alfidyu alkhasa bi wajadak! (haha, I had to use Google Translate) X
Super Glue…SO BRILLIANT! FABULOUS IDEA! Will hold for life, won’t wash out, won’t melt in dryer!!! Always press your seams…So True….A “sort of” metaphor for life… I get so mad at myself when I clip my project Argh! But…I’m pretty good at fixing disasters, which is necessary for life! My life anyway :) So there’s that. And By the way, that cute fabric looks great framing your adorable face! It is Sooooo You! YAY! My takeaway from this video is, when you feel crappy, dance, sing and pretend to be happy… I’m going to bake a cake now lol you have inspired me! I know what’s sewing, have to do with baking….I’ve No idea :)
Haha! I genuinely don’t know where the idea came but I am glad I acted on it as you barely see it!!! Enjoy your baking! It so connected to sewing as a fellow baker myself it just brings so much for and calm!!!’ Xxx
We had to move suddenly last year just before Christmas in a similar situation, thankfully we are now in a lovely new house. There were alot of tears and anxiety, I understand the upset but your positive video and lovely outfit brought a smile, thanks for sharing x
Just before Christmas. That must have been a lot! Thank you for sharing about your tears and anxiety, it makes me feel less alone! I hope you're enjoying where you've moved now, I know that's what I am hoping for us! X
Loved this video❤ and the message. Something I needed to hear as I have been avoiding my sewing since my beautiful furry purring black cat sewing buddy passed away last week. He used to keep me company, purring so loudly I could hear him from the other side of the room. Thank you and take care. 😻🐈⬛
Thank you so much for sharing. You inspire me❤. I am learning that life is a journey and an adventure at the same time. I am going to take your advice and do the things that bring me joy even when i dont feel up to it. Much Success💖
Alexandra, I just found your channel in the last week or so, and I have binged your videos. I have loved hearing your thoughts and ideas, and you let your goofyness shine, which I absolutely ADORE. Thank you for your sharing, honest heart. I hate that you have to move, but wishing your family an easy transition with it ❤
These an amazingly fun thing that happens when you make your own clothes for a while. After a couple years you find that you need to mend and recut re sew your favourite garments. And it makes the small mistakes you make when sewing easier because you can fix them later and you’ll mend it later already so mending it now is fine.
Such wise words. Totally right. The more you sew, the better you get at it, the more courage you have to pick up something you've made and make it even better. x
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. You will find an even cuter cozy house! I just did a similar thing the other day with the slice in the material after all that work! I tried taping with fusible tape but it didn’t look good, so i made a little heart patch with contrasting fabric and looks like it was meant to be.🩵
Please do not be sad. Things go up when it hit the bottom. Donot let emotion control you, it’s devil. I recommend one of books that I read - The secret by Rhonda Byrne. It somehow makes me feel I need to be positive when things are down and not as expected . The positivity attract good things, the negativity will attract bad energy . Hope that this will help you :)
This was so beautiful. I keep finding your videos at just the right time. I'm about to do a very big move, and it's been so hard and emotional. This reminder to stop and do something that brings me joy. Well, thank you.
Ah I am so so glad to hear!!!! Wishing you all the best with the big move! It makes sense that is emotional. A lot of change is a lot to handle sometimes. X
I love how your top turned out it's gorgeous and that fabric definitely deserves to be worn. Love that you showed your mini me your work in progress. And that you're honest to all about emotions and life. Honestly it made me teary eyed when you talked about how creation and creativity is our saving grace in life I have clinical depression and I'm also a creative and let me tell you sewing and writing is literally what keeps me going. I love this video and how you share a little bit of your life with us in this style of video. I too feel like when I'm sad I want to see nothing good I push happy things away and I struggled thinking I didn't want to be happy and have realized sadness and fear are really just thieves(you put it so nicely with that word) and that we shouldn't let them continually steal from us. This video resonated with me, thank you.
This is so beautiful. Please keep sewing and keep writing like your life depends on it. Thank you for sharing so openly and vulnerably. I am honoured to learn a little about your story and I am rooting for you!!!! Xxx
Sorry to hear about your house situation… I hope your landlord changes their plan for you to leave 🤞 but, failing that, that you find somewhere even lovelier to live x
Leaving a house that turned into a home hurts ! I had to pack my life 2 times in one year. Once because the landlord had to sell his house. We loved them and everyone involve(us and them) were sad. Then we moved in a house with 2 separate suits. We had a feeling there was something fishy, but we moved in that basement because we had no better options at the time. We did not get along with the upstairs renter. There were no privacy in that house. We made the hard choice to move again. We found a beautiful house last minute. We are now signing our second year lease. It's hard to see why things are unfolding the way they are when we are in the middle of it all. I promise you that there is a silver lining somewhere waiting for you.
Caramba, achei meu canal preferido do TH-cam. Como vc me inspirou agora. Eu tenho um processo parecido com o seu na costura, e percebo que muitas de nós sentimos a mesma coisa sobre o medo de errar, e essa cobrança excessiva. Muito obrigada por compartilhar sua sensibilidade com a gente. Sou do 🇧🇷
Haha! It's such a good feeling coming across a TH-cam channel you like and then going through all the videos! So I understand and I am honoured that you'd do that! thank you! X

I'm sure she's proud of you and watching you from above
Stay happy and one day we'll neet her for sure ❤
Things happen for a reason Alexandra, you will find another house you love even more than the one you’re in now. Look on it as a new adventure 💞💞
I really really really hope so!!!!
Look at the baby now! So grown up! You are strong, Alexandra. You will do it. Praying for you. 🙏🙏🙏 Top is beautiful ❤️ iris
I know. She'll always be my baby but right now she's a toddler rather than a baby! Thank you for your prayers! So appreciated! x
This is my favorite comfort video to keep going at sewing. 😮
Ah I am so glad!!!! X
Thank you for reminding me. To not let emotions and feelings and worries. To push through. Sew, walking, be gentle with yourself. Sewing gets my mind off things. Thanks🙏😇🥰
That is really good advice you gave about sewing even when you don't feel like it. I'm sorry you're having to move. Moving is really stressful, especially when it's unexpected.
YOU ARE GOING TO FIND A GREAT PLACE TO LIVE!
Amen!!! Thank you! 💕💕💕
Your honesty in sewing and in your feelings is appreciated. ❤
Ah thank you. It always feels so scary to put things out there so this is so encouraging.
Grief is an important process, it honors the value of what we lost, whether a home or a dear sister. So grieve, with all of the truth of those feelings, but with hope.

O să fi o bunicuță tare drăguță, Alexandra! Perspectiva e totul!
Haha! Da si Da!!! Xxx
This is such a beautiful video. I need to always make myself watch this when I’m feeling down to remind myself to gain perspective of whatever’s bothering me and continue to move forward. I hope you find yourself in an even better house in much more lovely location. ❤

Thank you so much for such kind words! Yes, it's so important to remember the way we've been designed. God bless you too!
Such a gorgeous vlog, "pushing back the darkness with creativity" is such a wonderful concept. You're my favourite, don't change a thing xx
I am so pleased this resonated with you! Thank you! X
You are a wise young woman..to live in the present is the key, I pray that the next door that opens for you bring you blessing in abundance..
Thank you so much for your prayers! So kind! Sending love! x
You are so right!
I own three sewing machines and a serger..when I face a difficult time, I no longer create..but, rather I go into a shell emotionally..I am beginning to power through whatever comes my way now. Thank you for acknowledging the sentiment. Sometimes we have to move out of our own way!
Keep doing what you're doing please, your perspective on sewing and life is so healing. You're making a difference. Thank you.
Ah, thank you so much! So encouraging! X
You bless me so much with your words thank you. And I’m so sorry about moving, sending big hugs 🤗

You are so right, for me sewing and knitting are the best therapies when I feel depressed, it keep my mind on something productive instead of focus on negative thoughts. I hope you find a great place for you and your family, I have moved so many times in my life that at my 40's I finally realized that when you live in a house surrounded by the love of your family, even a little shack is just absolutely beautiful! God bless you
Yeah so true about distracting your mind from the negative. Thank you for watching! 💕💕💕
I am so sorry to hear that you have to find a new place -- and I can feel your pain, especially once you've felt you were just starting to feel settled in. Also, you have inspired me Alexandra, I've been feeling sad because I have not been able to sew (amongst other things) as much as I want to (well, until this video I THOUGHT) I could not...so thank you.
Thank you so much for such lovely, lovely words! I am so glad this video found you! Thank you for sharing ! XXX
I've been loving the videos you've been sharing lately, they're so gentle and relaxing to watch. You have such a calm and joyful spirit that spreads light! Even on days you maybe feel otherwise. And your top turned out darling :)
I am so so so encouraged by this Mary! Thank you so much for such kind words that you are sharing with me! It means a lot! X
Loved you mentioning that the thief comes only to steal, kill and destroy....so very true. Hope you find a new home very soon.
Can't wait for my machine to get back from the shop!
Oh that top is cute. Sure the peplum is a very nice cut when fitted closely.
A little corset-like, the flounce slightly bustle-like.
Feels so sexy to wear when fitted close. 😉
All the best with your sewing machine. Yes, I reckon it’s such a feminine silhouette. X
Can totally relate to you. I too have to move in June end to a new city. And I thought I will again start sewing in August. But I picked up a blouse and decided to start with small alterations to keep it going. May you find a lovely house. 🪷
Wishing you all the best with your move in June! I hope it’s a lovely new chapter. Thank you for watching! Xxx
Thanks for your uplifting message and encouragement! Good luck finding your new dream home, it will work out!
I totally agree. Sewing is very therapeutic for me. I just wanted to say something I noticed. When you set your iron in the metal holder. I have this & noticed you sat it flat. It sits angled with the irons pointed end against the metal piece the protrudes down. It is safer if a child bumps it. It keeps it secure.❤
Hey i feel your sadness, its a shock to be lifted out of your home when you have just settled. You have a great up beat personality and i know you will figure it out. Things generally work out, i have had a lot of upheaval in the last few years. Involved removing a difficult tenant so I could sell my family home, which was where i raised my now grown up children. I am now very settled in my forever home these last 2 years and it has been challenging making it my own, but finally i have and i am settled with my new cat family lol and one of my sons living 5 mins walk away. Things will be good and i am sure you will love your new home when you find it. Praying for a successful transition for you and your family. Much love ❤
Thank you so much Sheila. Sounds like the last few years have been intense, but so nice that you can live so close to your son! As a young mom, I feel like that's such a dream! Enjoy this season. And thank you so much for your kind wishes@ X
You are wise beyond your years...sending good vibes to you.
Thank you for the video. Bjs
Thank you for the good vibes. I so appreciate them! XXX
You are authentic and your method of coping genuinely helps! I will cheer for your successes and will pray to encourage your challenges.😊
Thank you so much Lauren! That's so kind! X
Awe I hope you find somewhere nice to live for a long time.
So much wisdom you have been blessed with Alexandra. God has great plans for you and your family. Wishing you all the best with your move in future.
Love your beautiful top and pretty fabric, suits you.
Thank you for sharing this message. Xx
Thank you so much! So kind, I believe that too about God's plans for us! He's so kind! Sending love! XXX
This is your best video!!
I think we started sewing around the same time and since your beginnings I have watched and enjoyed all of your videos, but this is definitely the best... I hope your new home makes your current sadness simply a distant memory.
I send you my best vibes.🤗
Ah thank you so much! I was in my season of making cozy sewing videos! I loved it!
Yes, loving this new house so much, I don’t think about the old house at all! The people were right!!!! It is better than I could possibly imagine!
Also, thank you for watching my videos!!! I feel so touched and humbled that people would spend time with me and my creative endeavours! X
I really enjoy your videos. I felt so identified with cutting yourself off the world and regular activities when sad :( I think I will take your advice and push myself to do the things!
Wow you look so lovely, it suits you, pink is so cheerful so like you, New adventures on the horizon lovely ,everything you say is true you are so uplifting Thank You ❤ xx
I love pink - its my happy colour! Thank you so much - I believe new adventures are on the horizon too!!! Sending love!
You are so adorable. I look forward to my weekends just so that I can sew. You always inspire me to go forward no matter what. Love that top!!!!
Thank you for watching and for such such kind words! 💕💕💕
I so look forward to your videos Alex! You got the formula right for your channel: sewing + wisdom :) Love what you said about creativity being a power we were given. Needed to hear that:) And coming from someone older than you, don't worry about moving. I've found that things always have a reason and things always works out for you.:) hope this helps. Sending you much love to where you are now:)
Ah thank you so much - it’s only something I have discovered recently, this formula as you put it, but it feels right. Don’t know how else to describe it.
I hope I will look back at this move and think “it worked out for the best” I really really do! Thank you so much for all the love. Sending love back!!!! Xx
“Life doesn’t respect sewing schedules”-I felt this 💯 !!! I pray you soon find another beautiful home to love and continue to create wondrous works of art like this video and blouse! Really loving this blog series ❤️.
Yes 100% it's true! Life has no respect for sewing schedules haha! Thank you so much, that's also my dream and prayer! I am so glad to hear you're enjoying the videos! Means so much! X
What a cute little top! I love it. I REALLY enjoyed the good advise you gave us also.
Thank you so much for watching! I am so glad this resonated with you! XXX
Love your last video's so much! Really lovely to see your progress in the entire patterns and your story!
My darling, thank you. I was meant to listen to every word you spoke.
The Lord owns the cattle on a thousand hills. I will pray to the Lord to bless you with your own home that no man can tell you to leave. When God opens a door, no man can shut it. Beautiful blouse ❤ 🇬🇧
Oh Sandie, thank you so much! If only you knew how the Lord has blessed us. A year later since this video was made, we are in our own beautiful home that the Lord provided for us!

اي مكان انتي موجودة فيه الكساندرا جميل.واي منزل وجودك فيه بيزيده جمال.❤ومع ذلك يعجبني حبك للخياطه وبتخليه يخرجك من اي مشاعر سلبيه بتواجهيها وتحويلها لمشاعر ايجابيه بمجرد حصولك علي قطعه ملبسية جديدة من صنع ايدك.تسلمي.🎉
شكرا جزيلا لمثل هذه الكلمات الرقيقة لك! أنا سعيد جدا أن الفيديو الخاص بي وجدك!

Wow loved your insights on creativity and sadness. A battle I often face.
Ah I am so glad it resonated with you! X
Super Glue…SO BRILLIANT! FABULOUS IDEA! Will hold for life, won’t wash out, won’t melt in dryer!!! Always press your seams…So True….A “sort of” metaphor for life… I get so mad at myself when I clip my project Argh! But…I’m pretty good at fixing disasters, which is necessary for life! My life anyway :) So there’s that. And By the way, that cute fabric looks great framing your adorable face! It is Sooooo You! YAY! My takeaway from this video is, when you feel crappy, dance, sing and pretend to be happy… I’m going to bake a cake now lol you have inspired me! I know what’s sewing, have to do with baking….I’ve No idea :)
Haha! I genuinely don’t know where the idea came but I am glad I acted on it as you barely see it!!! Enjoy your baking! It so connected to sewing as a fellow baker myself it just brings so much for and calm!!!’ Xxx
We had to move suddenly last year just before Christmas in a similar situation, thankfully we are now in a lovely new house. There were alot of tears and anxiety, I understand the upset but your positive video and lovely outfit brought a smile, thanks for sharing x
Just before Christmas. That must have been a lot! Thank you for sharing about your tears and anxiety, it makes me feel less alone! I hope you're enjoying where you've moved now, I know that's what I am hoping for us! X
Wow what a cute top! 😍 Well done! I hope you wear it all the time !! ❤
My Grandmother's take on small imperfections:
"A man on a running horse couldn't see it." ❤
You have a great philosophy too. 😊
Ah I love that so much!!!! A man on a running horse couldn’t see it hahaha! X
Thank you for all your great videos and all your great wisdom!😁 Such a beautiful way of sharing it🤍 God bless you in finding a new home!
Ah thank you so much for watching! And I really appreciate your wishes - hope to find a lovely home too! XXX
Loved this video❤ and the message. Something I needed to hear as I have been avoiding my sewing since my beautiful furry purring black cat sewing buddy passed away last week. He used to keep me company, purring so loudly I could hear him from the other side of the room. Thank you and take care. 😻🐈⬛
I am sorry to hear about the loss of your friend. That’s gotta suck. 💕
Looks great, so cute!! Great job and I agree about making yourself do all those things, even when you dont feel like it.
So glad this resonated! thank you for watching! X
Thanks for talking about what we experience but don't share ❤
Of course! Thank you so much for watching! X
So delicate material, turned out wonderful!
Your video said so much. Thank you. I needed to hear your message today.
I loved this! I just searched “sewing vlog” and said to myself, “I hope I come across a Christian!”
Ah, sounds like it was meant to be! Thank you so much for watching XXX
Sending you much love and hope that you find another home just as special 🤍
Thank you so much!!!! Me too! Xx
Thank you so much for sharing. You inspire me❤. I am learning that life is a journey and an adventure at the same time. I am going to take your advice and do the things that bring me joy even when i dont feel up to it.
Much Success💖
Thank you for sharing. I wish you all the best with this new determination about life! 💕💕
Love the blouse!💓💓This is so inspiring! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽I'm going make the dress I've been 'thinking' off.
Alexandra, I just found your channel in the last week or so, and I have binged your videos. I have loved hearing your thoughts and ideas, and you let your goofyness shine, which I absolutely ADORE. Thank you for your sharing, honest heart. I hate that you have to move, but wishing your family an easy transition with it ❤
I am so glad my videos found you!! And that you're enjoying them. Thank you so much for all your best wishes, they are so appreciated! xxx
You’re so awesome! Thank you for sharing with us
Wow, it looks very pretty, you can be proud of yourself❤️
Alexandra - at 8.56 - I think you're holding the scissors upside down.
Your blouse is absolutely lovely, well done, it suits you.
Haha I tend to do that sometimes. Thank you so much! 💕
This is seriously my favourite sewing series ❤
Stop! This is so encouraging! Thank you. Xxx
I Love your logic!!!! You look fabulous. Love your fun fabric choice
Thank you so much! Yes, such a fun little fabric! XXX
These an amazingly fun thing that happens when you make your own clothes for a while. After a couple years you find that you need to mend and recut re sew your favourite garments. And it makes the small mistakes you make when sewing easier because you can fix them later and you’ll mend it later already so mending it now is fine.
Such wise words. Totally right. The more you sew, the better you get at it, the more courage you have to pick up something you've made and make it even better. x
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. You will find an even cuter cozy house! I just did a similar thing the other day with the slice in the material after all that work! I tried taping with fusible tape but it didn’t look good, so i made a little heart patch with contrasting fabric and looks like it was meant to be.🩵
Please do not be sad. Things go up when it hit the bottom. Donot let emotion control you, it’s devil. I recommend one of books that I read - The secret by Rhonda Byrne. It somehow makes me feel I need to be positive when things are down and not as expected . The positivity attract good things, the negativity will attract bad energy . Hope that this will help you :)
Ah I will check the book out for sure! Thank you so much for watching! Xxx
What an inspirational video. Thank you so much. Hope you find an even lovelier house soon. X
This was so beautiful. I keep finding your videos at just the right time. I'm about to do a very big move, and it's been so hard and emotional. This reminder to stop and do something that brings me joy. Well, thank you.
Ah I am so so glad to hear!!!! Wishing you all the best with the big move! It makes sense that is emotional. A lot of change is a lot to handle sometimes. X
Needed to listen to that today, thank you the top is lovely looks great on you too.
So glad to hear!!! Xxx
Looks beautiful on you❤
Thank you so much! X
Oh my gooood i missed you and your cosy vibe sooo much such inspiration video 😍😍😍😍
Ah thank you!!! Wish I could post these videos every day but they do take time! Thank you for enjoying them. Xxx
@@AlexandraBurnett take your time sweety dont rush we love you so much for being true to yourself and to us 😍😍
It looks lovely on you
I love how your top turned out it's gorgeous and that fabric definitely deserves to be worn. Love that you showed your mini me your work in progress. And that you're honest to all about emotions and life. Honestly it made me teary eyed when you talked about how creation and creativity is our saving grace in life I have clinical depression and I'm also a creative and let me tell you sewing and writing is literally what keeps me going. I love this video and how you share a little bit of your life with us in this style of video. I too feel like when I'm sad I want to see nothing good I push happy things away and I struggled thinking I didn't want to be happy and have realized sadness and fear are really just thieves(you put it so nicely with that word) and that we shouldn't let them continually steal from us. This video resonated with me, thank you.
This is so beautiful. Please keep sewing and keep writing like your life depends on it. Thank you for sharing so openly and vulnerably. I am honoured to learn a little about your story and I am rooting for you!!!! Xxx
@@AlexandraBurnett Thank you, I will, thank you for being so kind 🙏
I needed this today! Thank you for sharing you inspirations! ❤
I am so glad to hear! thank you for sharing! X
You have given me a new perspective on life. ❤ very cute fabric btw
Humbled. Really! Thank you for sharing this! X
Such a blessing as always !
Thank you so much! X
Sorry to hear about your house situation… I hope your landlord changes their plan for you to leave 🤞 but, failing that, that you find somewhere even lovelier to live x
💕💕💕💕
Well done it looks lovely.
Thank you! X
Leaving a house that turned into a home hurts ! I had to pack my life 2 times in one year. Once because the landlord had to sell his house. We loved them and everyone involve(us and them) were sad. Then we moved in a house with 2 separate suits. We had a feeling there was something fishy, but we moved in that basement because we had no better options at the time. We did not get along with the upstairs renter. There were no privacy in that house. We made the hard choice to move again. We found a beautiful house last minute. We are now signing our second year lease. It's hard to see why things are unfolding the way they are when we are in the middle of it all. I promise you that there is a silver lining somewhere waiting for you.
Caramba, achei meu canal preferido do TH-cam. Como vc me inspirou agora. Eu tenho um processo parecido com o seu na costura, e percebo que muitas de nós sentimos a mesma coisa sobre o medo de errar, e essa cobrança excessiva. Muito obrigada por compartilhar sua sensibilidade com a gente. Sou do 🇧🇷
I love your positivity by using creativity. You are refreshing and uplifting tome. Thank you! 😊
Ah so glad to hear! Thank you so much for this! X
Great great job!!!
Thank you! Xxx
Cute video.. I enjoy your narration n the little dance you do at end 😁
Haha. Thank you. The dances typically come when I am feeling good about what I just made!!! Xxx
I have just found you-now for some binge watching😂. Loved it, thank you😊
Haha! It's such a good feeling coming across a TH-cam channel you like and then going through all the videos! So I understand and I am honoured that you'd do that! thank you! X
It looks beautiful
