The seamstress in me was like, what are you doing. The newbee journaling in me was like, keep quiet I want to see where she goes with this. 😂
lol...I often wonder where I am going too ;)
As the proud daughter of a late master quilter, my tip of the day is- the needle thread needs to go under the foot.
Don't ever worry about calamity around the Pam Fam. We love you and will follow you through all the highs and lows. You're real, relatable, humble, and just a wonderful human. This video is reckless abandon at its finest.
Thanks so much! That means a lot :)
Awe...that was almost traumatic, but I loved the way you soldiered on with it xx
Omg I love everything you do. You make us think outside the journal! Lol
I have been sewing for over 50 years and I have NEVER seen anyone pick up a sewing machine and turn it upside down! I thought I would never stop laughing! BTW... paper really, really dulls sewing stuff. To change your crafting life, try 90 (14) - for medium to heavy weight work, and 100 (16) or 110 (18) for really heavy stuff. (This would be the voice of experience!) Someone suggested leather needles. They would fall in the 100 - 110 category. I think the ones you are using are 70 (10). They are for silky, soft, flowy fabrics. I love your stuff and have used many of your ideas in the journals I've been making for family and friends. Thank you for not giving up!
The feats of strength were unexpected but admired.🤩
THIS IS JUST WHY WE ALL LOVE YOU PAM!!🤣❤
I started watching this video knowing Pam would make me chuckle. Before the video finished I was laughing out freaking loud. I want to see these 2 journals decorated and up for sale. Pam, you are so good for my tired of bad news soul. Please keep on crafting with your reckless abandon.
Thanks so much Lynda! :)
Omy I'm Bout to pee my pants. I love this
Only Pam can make us laugh so hard. Have not seen or even done myself pick up and tip over the whole machine to find the needle. Thanks for the laugh and learning what not to do lol.
thank you Pam .. I haven’t smiled so much for more than a year ... you are wonderful, one of nature’s treasures..
Either I learn to show from my auntie on one she taught showing at singer and my sewing lessons for sewing over lines on a piece of notebook paper and sewing circles around a another piece of paper that has circles drawn on it so anyway don't worry about anyting it's not important in the long run you did good long tutorial and I love the paper you choose you have such good taste and you have so many options to choose from and you put your neck out there so we can learn from you thank you❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
“A person who never made a mistake never tried anything new.” (Albert Einstein.) Your right up there with the greats, Pam. This was absolutely a fun video and a good learning one too. I would much rather see someone make mistakes and own them, than a "perfect" tutorial. Hugs from Oregon.
Hi Adele and thanks!
Amen!!! Love watching Pam. You can learn so much by how errors are handled. This makes it easier to solve any problems we run into. Thank you Pam!!! 👍🏻❤️🥰
More hugs from western Oregon so fun leaving from you! 😊
Lol so fun LEARNING from you
I know this is a year old so you may not even read this comment, but anyway…I appreciate you creating on the spot. It may not come out like the picture in your head but you always have such wonderful ideas. I love your creative process and your positive energy. Thank you for being you and sharing your time with us.
Gentle bear hugs xx from Arizona
Oh my Pam, I laughed and laughed..great stuff. I think the idea to make the book and cover from pages was great! The comedy and voice over was priceless. Please never change you are such a breath of fresh air. ♥️♥️
Pam, The big numbers are the stronger thicker needles, 10 is for fine work. Love your enthusiasm and imagination.
The paper gods were sitting above your head going “let’s have fun with Pam today.” The god of misrule was laughing his head off,. We love ya Pam.
You are spot on Carolynn! :)
Hi Pam… I’m 77 and started sewing at age 10 maybe?…”on paper” on my mom’s singer feather weight machine, sewing along the notebook blue lines. Brings back memories for many reading this …yes!!! So glad to see this video…love love love😂 You are so brave by making a bad experiment into something worth working with by not giving up! How many who watched you would have given up at first pucker ‼️not you Pam …this is great! You are amazing …happy crafting‼️😄
I'm so happy to know we all have days like this. Pam kudos for hanging in there.
I'm clearing out my yarn collection and really needed a laugh! That little knot on the back of the journal is called 'a sweet little mess' and it's a highly technical term. I laughed so hard I was snorting, crying and trying not to wet myself all at the same time. Now there is one thing missing from this video - the non-sewing version. That would be the cherry on top of the laughter sundae! Many, many thanks for all your videos and your wonderful sense of humor!
PS: You could journal your thoughts on this adventure next week to keep us in stitches :)
Great idea!
I never laughed so much!!!!
The mad crafter
Dearest Pam. You're are just as "touched" as I am. You tickle me pink. Thank you for all your idea's and chuckles. A sheer delight and joy spending time with you.
Oh Pam, I've loved watching you for awhile now and love every second of your time you share with us, but today you had me crying with laughter at how absolutely brilliantly comedic you are when you want to just go with it. I love you even more so now...please, for all that is good in this world, please never ever change, we love you exactly as you are. ;)
LOL..thanks June :)
I love that you are comfortable enough in your own skin to take an idea and go through the entire process in front of your audience. When I craft I often take things apart numerous times because something doesn't go like I imagined it would. Watching your creative process is wonderful. You are a pleasure from your crafting to your doggie voice.🙂
And a grand time was had by all. 😆 Thanks for sharing your time, experience, and experiment with us, warples and all. 💕
"Hey, I belong here. I have purpose, existence!" MY NEW MANTRA!! :-D
Cleaning and tidying my craft space while listening to The Paper Outpost ❤❤❤❤❤
Not only does Pam come up with original ideas...... but she is sooo delightful to hear. This is THEE best channel that I have found. That is..... entertaining. I love Sonny - aka - Fluffy Pants.. hahaha he can steal the shoe for sure. 🥰 😄👍👍
I LOVE your humor. This video made my day! Thank you for your "reckless abandon" and for not being afraid to try new things whether they work or not. Much love!
Pam thank you much, you never cease to entertain.
I love your jibber jabber and while you're working. Makes me smile
Pam this is the best video I have ever watched because I sew the same way. i watch this over and over and laugh myself silly. YOU ARE SO GENUINE AND REAL AND I LEARN A LOT FROM YOU. pLEASE NEVER STOP MAKING VIDEOS. You take all the stress out of me making videos. IT IS ONLY PAPER RIGHT!
Pam got the giggles! So cute. I know, sometimes you just need to walk away for a bit. ❤️
Pam you just won the internet for me today!!! This is hands down my most favourite video of yours because you just kept it so real. I laughed and laughed and then that well used question, "What are you eating?" had me laughing even more. Please never stop what you are doing, your videos make my day. 😃😺❤🧡💚
Thank you for keeping it real AND entertaining !! I absolutely love your sense of humor . Sunny's appearances are appreciated as well
Ms Pam you make my day...you make me laugh, happy, and make me know I am enough just the way I am...you are a most awesome lady...ty❤🎉
Oh my you are a Joy! Sunny your mom is a treasure!!!! Love this!
You are never a waste of my time, Pam,, “We learn from each other” Thank you!
God bless you!!!!! You know your machine now!!!!!! I've sewn 15 pages without any problems, but you really went the limit with your little journals. Pam, I LOVED watching and listening to you and Girl, you earned your snack today for sure!!!!!! I could not stop watching!!!!!!!!! Try journaling with an ink pen on the sideways pages. It works great! Or a small tipped marker works on a book page. I love writing on book pages. Keep up the GREAT work Pam!!!!! Love your videos!!!!!!
Oh my, I laughed out loud. “Looks like a rat chewed on it” and your hot flash comment. And you getting the giggles at the end. Thank you for the laughs. I needed that today!!
Thanks Sandi, big hugs!
Love the spontaneity...if you don't experiment then you don't discover. The journals turned out cute and everyone had fun! 💕
Nice to see someone else has days like this. Thanks for showing us how to persevere.
Now that's different !!! I love different !!! 😃😃👍⛵⛵
Such a brave optimist - and always retrieving any miss-takes to create uniqueness... loved it!
Pam: we’re you auditioning for a TV sitcom. I was laughing all the way. However, the journal is really nice. Very clever! Carol from California
@thepaperoutpost This was absolutely the most fun I've ever had watching someone work their way through a random idea! Your gracious laughter is a balm to the soul. Thank you for sharing this video with the world. We need it!! Laughter is great medicine.
I absolutely adored this video! Please don’t worry about the mistakes. They were fantastic because they reminded me I am not alone in making them! You are a true joy and never fail to make me smile. 😊😊😊
Pam, you're hilarious 🤣 this video was the best!! I laughed through the whole thing and got tickled at the end when you were giggling....so funny 🤣😆🤣
I love watching your videos, always fun and very informative! Thank you for sharing your talent and love for crafting, you're very inspiring ❤
I just love your channel and you! I laugh with you, not at you. Tears stream down my face. Your sewing machine and you are quite the duo. I love how you never say die, you just go a different direction. No matter what, I'll never stop watching your videos. Sunny is the cutest!
Hello Miss Pam! I think this is an extremely valuable crafting video, especially for new crafters. Watching the thought process as you work from idea to a finished craft is where the value of the video resides. For a beginning crafter, it wipes away the idea that knowledge and skill is a necessity to start. Obviously you possess both, but this video shows us that creating is a challenging process for everyone. I'm thinking it should take away some of the fear newbies bring to their own creations.
What a hoot you are! Love how you "talk to" everything.
Your cute pup is a lucky little guy!❤
OMG.... that was the funniest adventure. I haven't laughed that hard in so long. thank you for being you.
Please do some more "How not to" videos, that was hilarious...enjoy your snack you deserve it ...I always watch you but rarely comment but I just couldn't resist x
I am so happy to know you are here Lajoni!! :) Thanks!!
“Don’t eat the papers” has been on a loop in my mind all afternoon! Lol 😂 he is like his mama and loves to play with the paper.
So true :)
I’m so happy that you posted this. It’s real, it happens, and you always keep a great attitude!
Love your commenting & your sense of humor!!! 😂🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You make every day a HOOT! Love it!
Wow, my partner and I we in tears. I’m an experienced seamstress and when you tuned that over and had that big knot...I almost peed. Thank you...!!! ❤️❤️❤️
I had such a good time watching this, thank you for posting it and not discarding it. Such a positive light
You truly do make my day Pam.
Stay safe and well
❤🌹🙂🙏🌹
This video is priceless!! 🤣🤣🤣 When you said, "Let it be"; all I could think was, Pam is 'speaking words of wisdom'...🎶 Love hearing your giggles at the end!! 💖😘
Hi Debbie V.! You have warmed my heart with your beautiful words! :) Pam :) !!
One of my favorite ❤ videos. Mistakes are good things. I do it all the time. It the paper fun!! Your the best Pam!!
Pam this is just the gift that keeps on giving. I put this on when I need a good belly laugh. Thank you for not deleting this video. Your the best!! Patience personified.
I call those balls of threads that happen, carbuncles. Lol
I call them homerglobbers.
You are always so positive. So inspirational to watch. You little baby, so cute!!! Thank you
Pam,
You make me so happy when you laugh.
I SO need a sewing machine like this one you have. It's way easier, just watch you do it, to use. The bobbin that always gives me grief and a self threading needle hicky ma do ! I have so many things that need to be sewn clothing wise and then paper's.
Much Love my friend.
Email Me again because I lost our conversation when I got this phone. It's in my SD card somewhere, but the new Samsung doesn't use an SD card! 😵 Never thought they would be like this, but dang them for doing it!
Much Love x
Oh Miss Pam, this may just be my Fav video so far. And a prime example of why I don’t use my sewing machine. Thank you for the laughs. But more importantly, showing us how to keep pushing forward. I would have gotten frustrated and given up. You have helped encourage me💖
Your "squishing the paper down" sounds effects make my day!
Pam will understand the thumbs down and won’t be upset. She knows we all love her creativity and openness to
"People come here to see something that works," not always so, Pam! It is enlightening to see how you think through the processes! And how you take the hour's work through to a satisfying, handle-able conclusion. You're tops in my book, signature, and leaf!
Experience is the best teacher. 🤗❤
You could never waste my time!❤ you get my day off with a smile and a giggle! Thank you!
You are great Pam nothing's perfect in life love how you experience new things ✨️ ❤️
Oh Pam you made my day!!!! So glad to see you having so much fun even when it all muffs up on you!!!! 2 cute little journals came out of it and a whole bag full of laughs that we all surely need in this day and time! Thank you for all you do to make our lives happier and our craft rooms more fun!!!! Hugs to you Ms Sally Pants!
Pam!!! Always full of great ideas!!! Hello to everyone
"It is something." ~ Calamity Pam
It is hilarious. I also loved that you never gave up. Thank you Pam.
You make me laugh..... it’s great for the soul! I like your “laisser faire”approach. Sonny is sooooooo sweet.
Que lástima que no entienda tu idioma, porqué estoy segura que cada día me harías reír, eres muy simpática !!!, pero, a pesar de todo haces que "entienda" todo lo que haces, y me gusta muchísimo !!!!, Gracias por éstos momentos tan agradables que nos haces pasar, y sobre todo, lo que aprendemos de ti, gracias, un fuerte abrazo desde Catalunya !!!!
Absolutely fun to watch your process! No “mistakes”, just “re-designing”!!!🥰
Yes, sort of a female version of Bob Ross. No mistakes....just happy little accidents. 🥰👍🏻 And when one has the talent to bring joy into the world who is to say that's a bad thing? Keep the chuckles coming... 🥰
I love that you said “…you’re worth it…’” regarding the use of favored supplies because if we don’t use these things, someone will throw them out when we die. Lol 😝 then we can imagine how we’ll ‘feel’.
Hello Pam 😊 I have been sewing for 40 years. I really wanted jump in there with you as I was watching. I really admire your persistent, positive attitude, ingenuity and problem solving! 🤓 may I suggest to you, start your stitching from the center out or glue where you are not sewing to help your papers from traveling. I wish you luck on your next adventure and keep up with your wonderful ideas. 🙃. Thank you for all that you share! Laura, Army and Marine Mom
This video was absolutely delightful and exactly what I needed tonight. Thank you Pam for just being wonderful you. I think if you folded the pages and cover first, before sewing may help. This will show you where the pages want to land before forcing them to land elsewhere, creating bulge. Thx for showing us that reckless abandon is always fun and no matter what, it’s just paper. 🌷
Oh Pam, you are my kinda crafter! I really enjoyed that you persisted until you had a complete project. How many times do thing like this happen to all of us? Over and over!,, TFS and sticking it out girl!
LOVE YOUR SENSE OF HUMOR...you keep your videos so fun!
GOD BLESS YOU.
Oh my! Don't you make me laugh! I could listen to you for hours, lol!
NEVER a waste of time when spent in your company, Pam
Prototype is great, spur of the moment
😱 is definately, much more fun!
Time for a snack! 🤣🤣
Hi Sunny! 💙
- love from Denmark 🌸💕🌱
When you start sewing, I think the upper thread needs to be tucked under the foot before bringing it to the back. That way the thread won't catch and hold the feed dogs from advancing the journal . I love your videos! You are the awesome art teacher I never had!!!
I love your tip! Thx!
I like the first one, that one has "secret" pockets in the middle! :D
Wonderful work :) and I have to say, this was much more organized than how my ADHD brain works, so, in no shape or form a "lousy" instruction :) 💜
Thank you for the hangout :D
Thanks vfor pointing out the hidden pockets!! I totally missed that!! :) Thats why I adore you guys!
My grandmother whom taught me how to sew always told me, “ it’s not about if you make mistakes it’s how you fix the mistakes that matter” 🥰 I’m 57 and can’t believe how much that has helped me in all areas of my life.. Love your videos! I’m new to your channel and binge binge binge watch you… Love Sonny and your African Gray (?) 😉🤗🥰💜💜💜
They're not hot flashes, they are "tropical moments". I love the journal. The cover looks like a soft leather.
LOL..feeling very tropical lately ;)
Tropical moments 🤣 I wish!
@@ThePaperOutpost I call them power surges😆
Oh my gosh! I was feeling bad (UTI) and l needed this laugh! Your commentary is priceless! I soooo enjoy you, Pam, for your creativity, transparency, and fun!! You are awesome on so many levels! 💖💖
I love how your totally planned things are unplanned lol....
You are a gal after my own heart, “research” experiment, always a worthwhile trip. Just make sure you’re using your own equipment, so you don’t have to replace a batch of someone else’s needles or worse, a whole bobbin assembly! I once sewed right into my right index finger! That meant an ER trip but it’s not the worst thing I’ve ever done to myself! LOL!! Anyway, you are great fun. Thanks 🙏🏻
I had fun!!
Oh Pam your hilarious, you never give up
I have enough trouble doing the normal journals without experimenting lol
But they were fun
🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
Absolutely love it!!! It doesn’t matter if the second one was a little harder. It is perfect!!! There’s never mistakes in homemade junk journals. A great teacher is one that shows everything!!! Thank you so much Pam I really enjoy your channel. You’re such an amazing artist and you inspire all of us to push ourselves just a little bit more with every video you make. I love drinking my coffee in the morning while watching your videos. It’s the absolute best way to start my day. Again thanks for everything!!!
Pam, u r awesome! U r wonderful making journals but u r an even better comedian! Loved every minute of this video. I thought I would fall out when u said u needed a break and a rice crispy treat! Hilarious! Thank u for sharing!! U made my day!!!😂😂😂😂😂👏👏👏👏👏💓💖💗💛💚💙💜💝💞💟
Pam, I loved this video because it showed your whole thinking and creative process. Made me feel better about my own experiments that don’t work very well. It is all part of the creative process and how we learn.
Isn't Pam the greatest? 🥰 .....one thing to remember tho... be careful when drinking your coffee... those Pam moments could be disastrous if you are drinking... instant coffee dyed everything...🤪😜🤭🥰
😂😂😂😂😂😂 you crack me up Pam. The thing with the thread is called a " birds nest." If you grab the top thread and put it in between the slit of the presser foot then hold both bobbin thread and top thread down on to the machine bed at the back you will never nest again.🕊🦅
Sorry, I nest all the time even with the stop thread tucked. Just sewing mishaps
The is such an enlightening and funny video!! I rarely comment, but I just have to say your running commentary on these is absolutely fantastic and hilarious, You make me want to journal with reckless abandon!! 😆 Please keep doing what your doing, I want to see more!!!
I had a blast watching and listening to you think, Thank you for being you!!
I needed a good laugh. My insides feel all lubricated as I go giggling off to bed. You keep on being you because you help make the world a happier place.
Oh my gosh Pam! You are a hoot! The part where you were sewing...trying to sew the X in the center of that second journal... I laughed so hard, that I almost peed my pants! And then at the end when you finally gave it up and started laughing! I smile and laugh all the time watching your videos, you are just the cutest! And I so love your sense of humor! You outdid yourself today though! I haven't had a whole lot to smile or laugh about lately, but I always look forward to your videos, because you are such a ray of sunshine, just like that cute little puppy of yours! Thanks so much for the great content and for being you! I have such a good time watching! Thank you Pam! :)
Thanks for hanging here for this epic journey with me Elizabeth! :)
This was a learning experience but I loved every minute of it. You're very entertaining and you keep me laughing all the time. The way you talk to your to Sunny, to all your surroundings makes me feel as if we are right there with you. Thanks for being you. I love you.
Ta-Da!!! I love that you gave reckless abandoning to the end! Sew/Glue on........!😊👍
Yes! I sat through this a second time! Just as funny! Tenacity at it's finest!
You are a blessed trooper!
"We are so anchored I can barely fold this thing!!! "You crack me up!!! Enjoy your snack...you earned it!
Aww Pam.a watch you all time.... but youv had me in stitches tonight.. A can't stop laughin a absolutely love you to bits all the way from West Yorkshire UK Absolutely love your videos. ❤❤
😂😂😂😂. I love you soooo much! Thank you! I do enjoy watching you create!
Thank you for all the laughs. Always so entertaining.
