    Thank you for your honesty. Everything from saying goodbye to your precious dog to the meaning of significant pieces of fabric. Your videos feel very real, personal and honest. They are also enjoyed, informative and entertaining. Thank you.❤ Australia

    Treat yourself to at most a nice rosebush or at least some forget- me- not seeds, to be picked and dispayed in his memory.
    Your devotion to this space needs to be commended too, through adversity and extra work, making things to keep us occupied while you are away.
    Lots of heartfelt hugs xxxx

    Lovely video Kathryn. I am so sorry for the loss of Sirius.
    The ancient Romans created tombs for their dogs, and gave them epitaphs. One such inscription read “ I am in tears, while carrying you to your last resting place as much as I rejoiced when bringing you home with my own hands 15 years ago”. Find some comfort in all your memories with him❤

    Oh gosh, Kathryn. That’s hit a nerve this week. Tears falling for all of us who have suffered the indescribable grief of losing a dog. I made my dog’s quilted car seat cover into the fabric seat for a vintage aluminium folding chair for my camper. She comes with me everywhere still, in essence. But then, where else would she be?
    Thank you for sharing this deeply personal video today, it was truly touching. Dogs teach us so much about love, don’t they?

    My heart is with you Kathryn.❤ It's a good day to stitch with your precious pieces of cloth. That bit of orange thread is just perfect and the loops behind your eyelet look like little ears, so maybe your pocket mouse will think he's found a mate.🐭🐭 I can feel all of the love you put into this piece for Sirius. You did so well at the end... I could not have read that without crying. Thank you for being brave and sharing this special project with us today.

    I wouldn't take the liberty of assuming I know how you feel but I understand the love of a pet is such a wonderful experience and when the time comes for them to leave us, it seems too too heart wrenching. We know pets don't live as long as we do but they are so unconditional in their love. Stella, poor love, will be grieving too. They are so intuitive and she will want to be your soul buddy. I will lend you my guardian angel to look over your heart. Listening to you chat along quietly and gently is beautiful, almost calm. You are a very special human being, thank you for your generosity. Take care.

    Really enjoyed learning about these pockets and the women who might have used them. Very much like our modern purses. I have always enjoyed using my grandmother's very old chatelaine for holding my stitching tools. Her everyday one fit onto the tie belt/ties of her apron. Being a farmer's wife she rarely removed her apron during the day so her scissors, etc. were always with her. However, my treasure is her sterling silver one that she wore on her dress belt when she would go to a quilting bee or some other women's gathering where stitching would be done. I do not use it regularly but do share it in the classroom with my friends who enjoy seeing such items. My grandfather made sure she always had a house key in her apron pocket and she finally made a small pouch that she pinned to the inside of her pocket so it wouldn't fall out. when she was feeding chickens, etc. She told me that she got the idea for the pouch from a ladies magazine of the 1700's she had found in the attic. I imagine it could have been a small version of this pocket. She was one of the most talented needlewoman I have ever known. Unfortunately my own mother (her daughter) never enjoyed needlework.. Grandma taught me all she could in my teens before she passed and the only knitting defeated me. I was happy to be given all of her sewing stash and equipment by my aunt when grandmother passed and still use many of her buttons, etc. on my work..

    Oh Kathryn, I'm so sorry your friend has passed. The pocket is a lovely way to honor him, his life, and his passing. Dogs grieve too and Stella is likely missing her friend and wanting to comfort you at the same time, which is why she is unsettled. I'm sure you already know this, but my heart needed to share it anyway. May you find comfort and peace in each other. Love to you.

    I’m very thankful to have been recommended your videos because they are very comforting and fun to watch, and because it has introduced me to this lovely and humble community. I am a young man who loves to sew and stitch, but I am also very shy and usually keep to myself, so in regards to finding community, it has been a bit challenging.
    I can relate much to the preference for worn clothing and opting into repairing and taking good care of them rather than buying new clothes. I can become very sentimental about certain fabrics and colors and garments; I hate to think about just tossing them out or not at least recycling the material somehow.
    The Sirius star has become a greater fixation of mine lately, and when you mentioned your darling dog Sirius, I gasped in a delighted surprise! Oh, how the stars align- especially in the theme of connection and comfort!
    Simply broadcasting your honest and passionate self means so much, and again, I am very thankful for your content.
    Much love, & Sirius bless. 🤍🫧

    I have L shaped rips on more than one garment from tending my roses. I may have to applique a patch over them to cover the clumsy stitching I've done to contain the rip. Speaking of passing on cloth, my mother (and I assume her mother before her) kept a (rather large) rag bag. I never saw her use the "rags" but before I left home for good I rummaged through it and pulled out pieces that had special appeal to me. I still have one piece of that fabric. 😊 It has paint on it in one area from where my father must have used it to do some cleaning up after a project of his.
    I have kept bits of fur and feathers from the pets I've had. Now I'll have a place to keep them. ❤
    All of us who've had precious pets in our lives grieve with you.

I'm so grateful for your videos and this whole stitch-along series in particular! It's been helping me to let go of some of the perfectionism that has been standing in the way of my ability to create for the sake of creating and allowing myself to progress through simply making and finishing works, no matter the result. It means a lot to me! Heel veel liefs uit Amsterdam

Thank you so much for sharing your precious memories with all of us. I too have little bits from my lovely fur baby. It is a comfort to know we have a little bit of them. I love all the old jeans that we had, that had the extra wide piece of material we put in the sides to make the wide bells. Each had a special look to them, with the handkerchief tops. Love this video.

I can only think from watching you these past months, through your videos, he must have had the best life. Your tribute to him through the pocket brought tears, but what a lovely memory keepsake you made for him. Wishing you a swift healing so you can go forward remembering all his best moments. X

    Oh, Kathryn, I immediately noticed you were sad. I am so so sorry, you know how much I love when you talk about or show your little friends. I don’t have any now, but I had three girls since I was 7 till I was 42 and when they were gone, the sadness was overwhelming. I’m very happy that you got to show him on one of your videos. It may make no sense, but I always imagine them with our loved ones who were gone too. My mother loved our three dogs and somehow I imagine they’re with her now.
    The pocket (which is so beautiful) is a lovely tribute to Sirius 💔
    And, yes, you’re not alone, I too prefer old clothes to new stiff ones, that’s why I only buy secondhand 😊

    So so sorry to hear about Sirius Kathryn, losing a furry member of the family is so sad, I can imagine your sorrow. I am sewing as I watch this video, although not mending, I am working in my boro journal. My little furry friend Ralph is 17 and only has three legs, a huge cob horse had gotten loose of his tether in a nearby field and had been spooked, as he ran straight past me missing me by a whisker, poor little Ralph got trampled hence losing his leg and to make matters worse it was the day before my mums funeral! Anyway, he took to only having three legs very well for the first few years, but the last two he refuses to walk anywhere and who can blame him. We are acutely aware time is running out, but he has had a long life full of love, as I am sure Sirius had. Sending much love and warm thoughts xx
