As a beginner I found these videos' very helpful, particularly the cutting fabric one. Thanks
ReplyDeleteFor me, this was so very easy to understand and to follow. Thanks
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tutorials.. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat tutorial for setting up your threads. I previously found it very complicated - I prefer to see by demnostration than to read a wordy manual.
ReplyDeleteThanks for this
you're welcome! :o)
ReplyDeleteHi Vanessa,
ReplyDeleteI'm a total beginner, and a very difficult one! I found your vidoes extremely useful and easy to understand.
Thank you so much for sharing your videos.

Vanessa,
ReplyDeleteYour tutorials are right on! I haven't sewn for almost 20 years and when I did it was just little crafty things. I am now in the process of making a pillowcase dress for my neice with a Halloween theme and your tutorials have helped me more than any tutorial I have find online, period! I didn't know anything about bias tape or how to use it and the french seams until I found you! You are very detailed at explaining the instructions that it's almost impossible to mess up. THANK YOU for what you do! You are a VERY TALLENTED person!!
I have saved you Crafty Gemini site and the You Tube sites for furture reference.
Sincerely,
Angela
Vanessa, where can I get these tools like rotary cutter, mats, rulers ?
ReplyDeleteI live in Greece so I would like to know about an online shop.
Hey girl!
ReplyDeleteI finally have a sewing machine and am so excited to start learning. Naturally, this was the first place I came to. These tutorials are so easy to understand! You never cease to amaze me! I am not sure what my first project will be yet, but I will keep you posted on my progress! Hope all is well.
Hugs from Austin!

I'm taking a beginner's sewing class, and she failed to go over cutting basics. So I find myself going to class and then coming home to watch your videos. I'm so glad they are out there.
