    Sveiciens no Latvijas! Mazliet negaidīti, vai ne? :) Paldies par interesantiem video, Tevi ir ļoti patīkami skatīties un klausīties. Tik tiešām nav vērts klausīties bezjēdzīgos un virspusējos apvainojumos, bet turpināt darīt to, kas patīk un padodas. Lai viss izdodas! :)

      @@ThoughtfulCreativity Ak, saprotu, kā ir ilgoties pēc dzimtās puses un, protams, arī pēc visādiem gardumiem un maizes smaržas. :) Man šūšana ļoti patīk jau no sendienām, bet ilgus gadus biju pametusi novārtā šo nodarbi, taču pirms dažiem gadiem atsāku ar lielu prieku un entuziasmu - tas man kļuva par mīļāko hobiju un perfektu meditāciju. Pārsvarā šuju sev apģērbu - tas mani patiesi iepriecina un uzrunā. Citreiz pati ko uzkonstruēju, citreiz paņemu kādu gatavu piegrieztni. Bet nu ļoooooooooti patīk tas process, izmēģināt dažādas jaunas tehnikas un arī smelties idejas un noderīgus ieteikumus no TH-cam labākajām fellow šuvējām - to skaitā, protams, Jums! :) Tiešām prieks, ka Jūs uzgāju pirms kāda laiciņa. Smeļos iedvesmu gan šeit, gan arī Jūsu IG kontā. Turklāt no Jums staro tāds pozitīvisms. Lai forša diena!

      You have a very sweet voice and beyond that, an amazing gift for communication. I gather that you are multi lingual,too! I have been sewing for over 50 years AND I learn valuable info every time I watch one of your videos. Thank you!❤️

      I'm almost 70, born in Cyprus but moved to New Zealand when young. I've been sewing for half a century and am learning heaps so thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.
      For what it's worth you have a lovely voice and your accent is fine. Please ignore the negative comments. Some people just can't help themselves.
      PS. Button holes are easy with sewing machines that create them automatically.

      I didn't think anything was wrong with your voice.. I was only concerned with the breaths you take between thoughts. I am a nurse, so I am always looking out for people's health and we'll being. But this video explained why. Sorry you went through that illness as a young child.

    Did not go through all the comments, but those with a problem as far as your voice goes have two choices. 1 They can look for other sewing channels and miss out on your lovely way of teaching. 2 They can use SUBTITLES. Love your videos, as a 78 year old man, I am happy to learn from you and I try to sew using your techniques.

    There is nothing wrong with your voice. I ended up with a paralysed left vocal cord in 2000. I had trouble speaking for any amount of time and I would quickly be out of breath when talking to anyone. I had an implant put in thy throat in 2004 and that helped but I never sounded the same as I used to. Even now if I talk on the phone people ask me if I have a cold !!!! I am from Australia and I love and appreciate all the videos that you make. They have helped me so much.

    I discovered you about a year ago. I found your instructions for self-drafting amazing! In fact, because of your inspiration, I self-drafted a jacket -- my first ever after 60 years of sewing!!! And, even if I don't self-draft, I feel that I have knowledge that I can use to tweek fitting or shape on the commercial or indy patterns I make. I find you charming, and your instructional information excellent. Thank you for sharing your background, and your thoughts on your life and your career. Keep it coming!

I haven’t been sewing long when I came across your videos and I so enjoy following you, you are very talented and have inspired me to try many different projects. I also love listening to your voice, fascinated to hear about your life too. Keep up the good work.

    My least favorite part of sewing is setting sleeves and I will avoid it as much at possible 😂
    I think your voice is sweet and it would be boring if we all sounded the same.

    You're such a sweetheart. Sharing your knowledge through videos. When you were talking about people's hurtful comments about your voice, it was very clear it was upsetting for you. Don't worry about those negative Nellie's, You're amazing and your voice is part of your amazingness ( not sure if that's a word, but it is now😊). Your face lit up so big when you were talking about going to fabric places, India etc. I know this video is 3 years old, please just ignore and delete the haters

    Hi, I live in the. UK and have just discovered your channel. I love your voice, it is so clear and easy to listen to. Those who have a problem with your voice don’t have to watch, and it’s so rude to criticise. You are totally authentic and that’s a fabulous thing. I would never have realised you were Russian your voice has no accent. Your channel is really good, you must work very hard and I thank you very much. X

    There is NOTHING wrong with your voice! I find listening to you is relaxing. Your voice is sweet and calming. I’m sorry people have been unkind to you regarding this. I have no idea why others are unkind regarding your sweet voice. Those people are rude and have no manners and they do not matter- keep being you! You are a talented sewist and educator and I love your videos. They are always professional, educational, well thought out, and informative. It is apparent that you love sewing and I’m thankful that you share so much information with us. I live in Arizona but hope to move to Tennessee this year.

    You’re a lovely person. People need to mind their own business. You just never know what people have in their history and whether or not it’s painful to them. And you’re so right. People would never ask you things like that to your face. One of the things I don’t like about the internet - politeness and manners seem to have disappeared. Keep on doing what you love!

By the way we all know Dolly in the UK 🙂

Thank you for sharing and inspiring with your extremely generous videos. You are a fabulous teacher. I started junk journaling about two years ago, but do manage to get my sewing in. So glad you’ll continue doing videos. Love from So. California. 💜😎🇺🇸

I am a 90 year old retired seamstress living in a beautiful garden residential Independent community in Southern California. I have been sewing and creating for more than 78 years. My Mom taught me how to recycle beautiful fabrics into fashions and practical school clothes that my school friends were envious about. I still do some creating that the elder community where I live can use to simplify their handicaps from age. I have been handicapped for several years but I "Do what I can, When I can, If I can!" (My motto since I was diagnosed with a rare hereditary disease at age 73.) You are a joy to watch and listen to!

    Greetings from Kansas! I've been sewing for 53 years. I made my wedding dress on an old Singer treadle machine that had been modified with an old, stand-alone motor to turn the wheel. Used it a lot in my teens, even replacing zippers on my jeans. I just subscribed and love to watch your pattern drafting videos - so glad you're keeping the art of home sewing alive!!

    I am very voice tone sensitive(squeaky voices grate on my ears) and I’ve never thought your voice was annoying. As others have said, it’s a softer, lovely tone. As you shared what your little voice box went through as a child I can see how grateful you are to have your voice!! And as you were sharing here how much you love sewing and how much joy it brings you to share with others I know this touched you WAY down deep into your heart, so much so you wanted to cry!! Such kindness from your heart shines through 💖 And the WORK it takes for you to present each and every video - WOW!! You have such commitment to your craft, thank you for sharing it with us ❤❤❤

    Sometimes, people suck, and when you make a space that they can congregate, what they have to say is magnified. I'm so glad you haven't let such negativity keep you from using your voice to share your passion, and to help teach those of us looking for help and inspiration. The world is full of different voices, so a voice can't be right or wrong, they just are. Thank you for pushing that stuff aside and moving forward. There are hundreds of thousands of us that really appreciate what you've given to us.
    Also, I hope you like Tennessee! My father is from a very small town in TN, and while I grew up elsewhere, it holds a special place in my heart.
