  • An Important Update on The McCall’s 8029 Pattern Video

    June 10, 2025 /

    Hi everyone. So, I have some bad new about the progress in making another video making for the McCall’s 8029 pattern: I haven’t even started sewing the pattern. I already purchased new fabric and recorded some of it, but things started to happen in my offline life that prevented me from sewing. I thought these things would have cleared up by now, but they haven’t. So, I’m unable to sew like I originally planned to. I thought I would have a video already edited and ready to be published by June, but that didn’t happen. I wanted to write this post because I don’t like it when someone promises something…

  • An Update About My Video “Sew With Me: McCall’s 8029”: What Happened to The Video and Future Video Plans

    January 23, 2025 /

    It’s been over three years since I uploaded a video to my YouTube channel. In that time, a lot has changed for me both online and offline. I still want to continue uploading more videos and have plans for videos but right now is still not a good time to work on them. Even though I’m going through a season in my life where I struggle to maintain a YouTube channel, I have focused on my blogs. This is why when I received alerts from YouTube that one of my videos received more comments about it, I was surprised… and upset. The video was originally called Sew With Me: McCall’s…

  • Returning to YouTube and The Ongoing Search for a New Video Editing Software

    July 9, 2024 /

    Hi everyone! It’s been a while since I published a post on here. June was a weird month for me, so I needed some time off blogging in order to focus on offline things. While offline, I decided to try to return to YouTube. I knew I couldn’t do it immediately because of what was going on, but I did know I wanted to return to it. I had plenty of old views I could upload, but I didn’t have my old video editing software anymore. Instead, I decided to search for new software to use. Even though I own a MacBook Pro, I don’t like iMovies. It has a…

  • Camera and YouTube Updates

    July 13, 2022 /

    Hi everyone! I have some great news about my camera problems. I found and purchased a new camera! It is a different model than the original Canon I own, so I’m interested in seeing how well it performs. The camera is a Canon Rebel T7. My old camera is a Canon Rebel T6. I originally wanted to fix the T6, but after looking around online for tutorials on how to fix it, I knew there was something more seriously wrong with it. When it malfunctioned, it wouldn’t turn on. I had similar problems with the T6 models when I used my friend’s cameras. Even though they taught me how to…

    New sewing pattern haul video up on my YouTube channel: McCall’s sewing pattern haul for June 2020 part 1…   I bought so many patterns from McCall’s in June that I needed to split the patterns into two hauls. The second haul is already up on my YouTube channel, but I’ll post that video in a separate post. Well, that’s all for now! Thank you for reading!

  • Planning for the 2020 12 Days of Christmas Sewing

    August 11, 2020 /

    It’s August, but I’m already planning for new Christmas themed sewing projects. This year, in an attempt to add more sewing YouTube videos to my channel, and hopefully gain more subscribers, I decided to do a themed video series. I decided this December to do a video series I’m calling 12 Days of Christmas Sewing. Each video will have Christmas themed sewing videos for 12 days straight. Although the sewing projects are Christmas themed, I planned to make the videos on a variety of sewing projects that can be used during the Christmas and New Year season. The projects I plant to make vary from decorations, gifts, and clothing I…

    April 22, 2020 /

    It’s now halfway through the Arizona stay at home order and I’m feeling meh about staying at home so much. I’m normally at home a lot because I work from home, but the stress of what’s going on in the world and that I live with my relative made me feel more moody and irritable than I normally am. Despite this, I realized I needed to go back to focusing on the hobbies I used to have when I was sick with my infection. There are many hobbies I had back then, but the major ones was art, sewing, photography, and recording video of random things for memory’s sake. Doing…

    I posted this video on YouTube a while ago, but I was too busy or too distracted to share the post here! Back in November, I made a Christmas wreath throw pillow kit I found at JoAnn’s. It was very easy to make and I enjoyed creating some throw pillows I liked. Well, that’s all for now! Thank you for reading!
