Omg, I literally woke up with a pimple in my nose this morning, and thought to myself, is this normal? Do other people get this? Thank goodness I now can relate to someone. Thank you Jenna. I do in fact get pimples in my nose. We are not alone.
As a total novice at sewing, I love that you share your moments of struggle! I feel like every time I would sew the wrong sides of something together, have the machine jam up, etc., I would walk away feeling like maybe sewing will just never be for me because I'm so bad at it. It's refreshing to see someone much more experienced hit many of the same issues (albeit way less often, I'm sure), and just shrug it off and push through. You remind me that it's better to have tried something and learned from it than to give up when it gets hard. Thank you!
You are so creative and talented! During 2020 in my drunken isolated depression I bought a bunch of dumb forever 21 + nasty gal stuff that’s aged like milk. Now I’m sober and leaving the house and stuck with a bunch of pilly crap I don’t want. Want to make a summer wardrobe for myself, and your videos have been so inspiring! I mostly want to make shirred top ruffle bottom dresses and gunne sax inspired stuff out of vintage bedsheets and fabrics
If you're looking for something to do with the gross weird F21 stuff, use a rotary cutter and turn it into t-shirt yarn, then you can knit super soft dishclothes or braid it into a rag rug. I turn all my nasty spent hiking clothes into rugs, highly reccomend.
For turning straps & threading elastic, I use a tool called a bodkin. The great thing about it is that it tightens as you pull & that keeps you from losing what you've trying to pull through.
A good trick for turning straps is sewing a cord to the top, sewing it with the cord inside without catching the cord, then pulling it right side out and unpicking the stitches keeping it in
The dress looks so good on you! I'm sure your vacation will be extra special because of the amazing pieces made by yourself. I always appreciate how you show your struggles (it is very relatable), but is also great to see how much you've improved. Thanks for another great video!
hi jenna! next time you assemble a paper pattern try only cutting the excess frame on one side (page 1 still have frame trim, page 2 with no frame trim) and you can stick the page 2 on the page 1 trim overlaping them so theres no holes between pieces, so it holds it shape better and keep the pattern in good condi for longer 💗
You could make a ironing block sphere, or tailors ham, with some of your scrap fabrics! When I first got into sewing years ago I bought all my supplies. Now that I’m getting back into sewing, it finally occurred to me how I could sew my own sewing tools. Who would have thought, huh?
Tbh, I just found your channel about 3 days ago and I really love your vids.. it just feels like I have an older sister.. (I mean this as a good thing)
I can’t sew a washcloth. I failed Home Economics because I couldn’t sew a dang tote bag….absolutely love watching your videos and seeing your projects come together!💕
When you need to pin two pieces together, start at the beginning and end. Then you put the needle in the middle, then in the middle between them, then in the middle between them again, and so on. Then you will distribute the remaining fabric evenly, instead of everything ending up at the end.
You did a great job on all the clothes, especially loved the dress and crop knit cardigan. You inspire me to start making my own clothes. I can’t wear you styles as I’m just to old for them. But you are so much fun to watch and you give me encouragement to thrift and alter or start from a pattern. Look foreword to your next video. ♥️
You can always add a little bit of a different fabric (maybe some lace) on the bottom of the crop top with the puff sleeves, and turn it in a babydoll top! (Gotta watch laini’s last video where she talks about those tops, also!)
You are soo talented, the buster top, floral dress and top are stunning. Also it takes a lot of skills to make your own swimwear. Bless your hands. love your quirky sense of humour also.
You make my day, Jenna. Your wardrobe is so beautiful! It sure makes you hold your head high when you make your own clothes. You are so inspiring. Thanks for showing your mistakes .
My mom just gave me he told seeing machine cause she’s barely ever used it. I would use it occasionally when I lived at home as a kid. BUT NOW I HAVE IT AND I AM SO INSPIRED! Thanks for your videos! Ugh I’m so excited to have more time to sew things that will fit my body
I was just looking at Blackbird fabrics a couple days ago and contemplating if I should make my own swimsuit! The fabric designs are so pretty and this video makes me want to order some fabric now 😍
ok...wow...I am so impressed with you channel. I will start sewing and you cannot imagine how great it is to say this after not having touched my brand new sewing machine since I first unpacked it. Thanks! Especially for showing the mistakes you make, because it makes me be more forgiving towards my own mistakes!
wow! I’m so excited for this video. I liked thhe other one so much and it actually inspired me to do my own sewing challenge! (Which I’m in the middle of) Literally yesterday I was searching on youtube for another video like this one for inspo, but I couldn’t find one. AND NOW HERE IT IS.
The dress and the bow top are my favorite pieces, but you did such a great job on all of them. This was so fun to watch and to see your inspiration pieces get created. Also Benson is too cute!
my go-to way to flip straps is to attach a small safety pin to a long loop of wire, slide it through the strap, unclasp the safety pin and pin it to the hem of the fabric, and then pull the wire back through the fabric. you might have to adjust the pin to make it pull easier, but so far this method has been a godsend for me. there's no bunching over and over again. i just keep the pin and wire together as a little tool on my desk.
Just found your channel and im so pumped, would love to see how you did the bathing suits, I know you’ve done a bathing suit before but these were a little different and I love the tops you did!
As soon as you showed your peices i kept thinking your first top with the puff sleeves and the dress couldve been one singular fit, by adding a skirt to make it a set but loved them either way
in addition to the bobby pin method for turning out straps, Ive recently been introduced to the safety pin on a string method in which you attach a string to a safety pin and feed it through the strap (this can be done before sewing but its possible you sew over your string and it kinda defeats the purpose). Then you connect the safety pin to the end of the strap and pull the string from the other side, and the strap should turn itself out! if your fabric is woven or very thin or the strap is very skinny you might experience the pin undoing itself, getting stuck in the in between or ripping through the fabric, so use at your own risk
I usually don’t comment so I really hope you read this Jenna:) I recently found your channel and I’m absolutely obsessed with it. I’ve learned to knit just so I can knit with you, and so far I’ve made a cat hat, 2 human hats, and a panty, I’m working on a bralette rn. I wanted to give you only one single advice.. I love everything about your channel but I done like to hear you say you can’t do something. I’ve heard it a few times where you will be working on a project and say something like “I need to add X, but I’ve only done X one time and I had a hard time and I’m really bad at it. So I’m not sure how this time is gonna be.” I feel like you shouldn’t say things like this. When you say you’re bad at something you’re solidifying it into your subconscious. You should practice saying “I have to add X and I haven’t done X too much in the past, so we’re gonna try something new! See what happens!” Love you Jenna! I hope you understand what I mean lol I really enjoy your videos! ❤️❤️
HI JENNA!! LOVE YOUR BATHING SUITS, THEY FIT SO GOOD ON YOU. I LIKE THE LACY TOP SO CUTE. YOUR SO TALENTED AND I HOPE I CAN MAKE CLOTHES LIKE YOU. WELL, CONGRATS AND BENSON IS CUTE. THANKS AND STAY SAFE AND HEALTHY. ❤🙏

YOURE SO BEYOND TALENTED. MY JAW IS ON THE FLOOR

That last top reminded me of you and your style
It is SO enjoyable to watch you and listen to you.
Omg, I literally woke up with a pimple in my nose this morning, and thought to myself, is this normal? Do other people get this? Thank goodness I now can relate to someone. Thank you Jenna. I do in fact get pimples in my nose. We are not alone.
I always get them in my ear and they really hurt!! So annoying! 😭
I get em right on the center of my top lip and it hurts so freaking bad aggghh!!!
Woke up to one this morning on chin and nose. I’m 48! I can relate 😔
@@frawe me too! It sucks!

I LOVE how you just do. You don't second guess, you just jump right into it. That is such a great skill. Is it so good to be able to take action.
You are so creative and talented! During 2020 in my drunken isolated depression I bought a bunch of dumb forever 21 + nasty gal stuff that’s aged like milk.

Aged like milk got me.

You have a button box! Every good sewer does, my gramma had 3, and each was one of those Ikea tubs :)

Oh my gosh the “good morning!” was my favorite 😆 you are so impressive and I love your hilarious personality
Aww thank you for showcasing my pattern. Everything turned out so good 🤍🤍🤍 this video made my day 🥰
YOU JUST MADE MY DREAM WARDROBE?!?! WHAT?!? ABSOLUTELY STUNNING! I was literally just shopping around for these same pieces!
The dress looks so good on you! I'm sure your vacation will be extra special because of the amazing pieces made by yourself. I always appreciate how you show your struggles (it is very relatable), but is also great to see how much you've improved. Thanks for another great video!

if you do this make sure to use only cotton wool and linen scraps as synthetics and silks will burn in the ham!!
Tbh, I just found your channel about 3 days ago and I really love your vids.. it just feels like I have an older sister.. (I mean this as a good thing)
I can’t sew a washcloth. I failed Home Economics because I couldn’t sew a dang tote bag….absolutely love watching your videos and seeing your projects come together!💕
I’ve been wanting to sew my own corset style top for so long and you saying it was easier than it looks is encouraging..I might try and make my own
I love how all your favourite colours suit you and flatter you so well. that is truly the universal dream for all individuals lol

I’m 59 yo but am loving her! I wish I had some to make these outfits for.
You can always add a little bit of a different fabric (maybe some lace) on the bottom of the crop top with the puff sleeves, and turn it in a babydoll top! (Gotta watch laini’s last video where she talks about those tops, also!)
I absolutely love your videos. They inspire me so much
I've been looking at that dress pattern for a while. It's totally adorable. And I'm obsessed with that fabric
That floral fabric is stunning! And you are so good at what you do! 🩷
the white top is STUNNING
That floral fabric is everything
I love watching you antics, you are funny and clever to, and your dog Benson is so adorable 😊
You are soo talented, the buster top, floral dress and top are stunning. Also it takes a lot of skills to make your own swimwear. Bless your hands. love your quirky sense of humour also.
can‘t believe you made all these… so beautyful!!!
I just discovered you this week. I love watching. You remind me of a young me. I've been sewing now for almost 55 years!😮
You make my day, Jenna. Your wardrobe is so beautiful! It sure makes you hold your head high when you make your own clothes. You are so inspiring. Thanks for showing your mistakes .
Hi Jenna, lovely vacation wardrobe, hope you enjoyed the beach vacation. I love how the dress turned out, you look beautiful wearing it. 🥰
The dress looks so stunning on you Jenna ❤️✨
Hi Jenna. I love you and your humor. Hugs Rita from Denmark.
Girl I can just c u in ur old age in a rocker knitting away. Bless ur heart I admire ur motivation
Wonderful pieces you have made! I really do like your videos and I have been sewing clothes for 45 plus years!
P. S. you need a pressing ham. I have used them professionally in my design career. Works well.
Absolutey gorgeous items and you look so pretty wearing them. The dress is my favourite and the top with puff sleeves a close second,
My mom just gave me he told seeing machine cause she’s barely ever used it. I would use it occasionally when I lived at home as a kid. BUT NOW I HAVE IT AND I AM SO INSPIRED! Thanks for your videos! Ugh I’m so excited to have more time to sew things that will fit my body

I love all the pieces you made so much! They all turned out so cute!
I love your videos and energy. It’s so wholesome and positive. It helps me get motivated to continue sewing my own clothes. Keep up the good work!
Great makes. You look fabulous in them. Enjoy them on your vacation.
For straps, I have tube turners.. basically a straw and a stick that fits inside the straw. My pack I got came with three different sizes
Everything was beautiful & the fit was perfecto!
ok...wow...I am so impressed with you channel. I will start sewing and you cannot imagine how great it is to say this after not having touched my brand new sewing machine since I first unpacked it. Thanks!
Especially for showing the mistakes you make, because it makes me be more forgiving towards my own mistakes!
You did a great job. And the first top looks beautiful on you. I love them all but think the first one is my favourite.
My favorite was the flower t-shirt 🌼 🌸 you were wearing
I believe my favorites are the white lace top and that beautiful dress!
You could add some crocheted lace to the first top to add a bit more coverage if you want.
Wow! Amazing . I love them all. If I have to pick a favorite it would be the dress. Job well done. ❤
wow! I’m so excited for this video. I liked thhe other one so much and it actually inspired me to do my own sewing challenge! (Which I’m in the middle of) Literally yesterday I was searching on youtube for another video like this one for inspo, but I couldn’t find one. AND NOW HERE IT IS.
I LOVE the crop top and the lace one--beautiful!!!!!
That floral fabric is SO pretty
I love the dress. Its shape and print are fine to you. The swimwear is welldone.
All the pieces look good; my favourite is the first crop top with the very puffy sleeves!
I just wanted to say that every time I see you've uploaded a video, it brings the greatest smile to my face.. You truly are a joy to watch
Love them all, especially the dress!!!
I wish to showed us more and did more of a tutorial.. all these pieces are soo cute!! I would wear every single one, including the swim suit 💖
i love all those pieces that you made
Cute pieces. The flower dress with bare back is my fave.
Everything is gorgeous. Hope you had a great vacation!
The dress and the bow top are my favorite pieces, but you did such a great job on all of them. This was so fun to watch and to see your inspiration pieces get created. Also Benson is too cute!
I’m just in awe! I love the crop, lace and corset tops. Hope you had the best vacation. ❤️🇨🇦

when i have to turn straps i always use loop turners, they’re really nice!
never heard of the bobby pin trick! I'm going to try it next time!!
Just found your channel and im so pumped, would love to see how you did the bathing suits, I know you’ve done a bathing suit before but these were a little different and I love the tops you did!
The dress is stunning💗 love the print🌸🌼

You've inspired me!!! I got my first sewing machine and i'm so excited to start making my own clothes!!!
I just love watching you. You make me laugh. Plus I love you enthusiasm for sewing.

The puff sleeved top and dress were both so beautiful!

The first top is the best top you’ve made Jenna! I love it! 😍
Jenna, every piece was amazing. I enjoyed it so much. You are really so talented. I really don’t have a favorite, I like each piece so much.
I usually don’t comment so I really hope you read this Jenna:)
