Oh how wonderful! The happy mail is so thoughtful! I love Laura Ashley! I am so glad you got time with your family. Thank you for the little bit of Jesus.
I agree, Jen. We are spoiled Americans and tend to take for granted all that we are blessed with in this country. I am so incredibly grateful to be a citizen of the US, as well as to be a citizen of Heaven when the time comes. God is so good!!! We should give a heart-felt thanks to Him at least once a day for how blessed we truly are. You would really like The Chosen series. You get hooked right away. Modern day English with a bit of humor thrown in from time to time. Miracles Jesus performs were done incredibly well, especially when He walks on the water and calms the storm. Now, can't wait to see your final version of your Know Me dress. Are you going to make the dress first, then dip dye it? I assume that would be the best solution, but I've never known anyone to do this before. Would love to see a video of how you go about making this dress, start to finish. Have a very fun time with your daughter!!! You are very fortunate that your girls want and like to spend time with you. Happy sewing! 🥰 Dori
Happy 4th of Juky to all the US sewing friends. I arrived in New York JFK on the 5th, sadly missed Ll the celebrations. Looking forward to exploring New York City for a couple of weeks ❤
Love your little bit of Jesus at the end. One of our neighbors also put on a pretty decent fireworks show. So relaxing to just sit out on my swing with a cold drink & watch them. Have a great time with your daughter.
How exciting that you are headed to help Mia with the house! You will have so much fun. Wish I could be there!! You have alot of projects in the queue! I wont get any sewing done (again) because I’m headed to NY on Weds. hope to do lots of thrifting and fabric shopping. Arent we fortunate to live in the US and have all the comforts that we have available to us? I try to be thankful for that as often as I can. We are truly blessed. Have dun in Georgia! Give Mia my hugs!!!❤❤❤ love you!!
To be thankfull each day for what I have as I don't know what tomorrow will bring. Thank you Jen for bringing us a little bit of your life that I find so inspiring. Love all of your Laura Ashley patterns ☺
Jen, when you showed the two dress patterns of different eras but basically same dress, I was reminded of a college teacher I had once. She told us she never threw out anything because eras recycle back around, just maybe slightly different look. I really don’t want to see certain looks again from later 90’s - early 2000’s. I’m in Nashville, so visited a Joann’s. Apparently they have an unannounced pattern sale. I have no idea which ones are on sale. I purchased a Butterick, so I know they’re on sale.
That purse looks a lot like a zippy bag from Sallie Tomato . I’ve changed the dimensions on the pattern to make it bigger. She has wonderful tutorials on TH-cam.love your sewing plans
Jen, I just love your hair. I had mine in a pale lavender that had returned to white. Last weekend I had my youngest day Daughterhelp me “purpalize” my hair s again. Unfortunately I had not bought what I had the first time. I now have black cherry hair, heavy to the black! It is both dark and bright! I am horrified. At 74 it is not a good look on me and is not shading out with washing. Yikes! I got a ton of complements on the lavender. The black cherry? Not so much. Sigh. The best laid plans and all that.
I am trying to take up sewing clothes for myself since retiring a couple years ago but am confused by my simple pattern. Do we now have to add on our seam allowance to everything? I’m starting with Simplicity 3824. I’ve had it in my stash for years and finally decided to pull it out.

Jen - bathing suits...you are the only person (I have found) who reviews swimsuits! Unique and sure is important to swimmers.
Thanks!

Love all of your Laura Ashley patterns ☺
Always love watching you such a fun video happy weekend 😊😊😊
Have a great visit with your daughter!
Just deconstructed my favorite swim suit- will try to copy.
I would put vinyl on the bottom of the bag. You could choose from one of the colors. It would give you a sturdy base.
Good idea.
Great fireworks! Thanks for reminding us to be thankful!
Happy Independence Day!
You too!!
