    so useful! thank you for making videos like this, i've been sewing for a few years but mostly self-taught so many little details I didn't know how to handle but that make a huge difference for the finished piece.

    I love the whole process and the time & effort you've put into this. The shirts came out great, and honestly i can agree with having your own clothes fit your body. It does make the whole fit look nice, & is a game changer. Im new into sewing, so it has definitely sparked me intro trying to tailor my own clothing. Love how overall informative you are! Definitely subbed!

    • @busybila
      @busybila Před 6 dny

      Wow thanks for the incredibly sweet comment and for being here! I agree, having clothes actually fit you is a game changer, mass produced cannot compare. This video was a little out of my wheelhouse because I’m not well versed in the menswear world so I appreciate you noticing the effort spent. Thank you!

    @Rumade Před měsícem

    Yes! I also love fixing things like bag straps. It annoys me when someone says "but it's just a cheap bag?" So what! It's my bag, I love it, and cotton takes a lot of land/water/fertiliser/human labour to make, so why shouldn't we treasure it and take care of it?

    • @busybila

      I love the way you think! It would make me so sad to throw my bag away, she’s been with me for years. It’s also extremely satisfying to fix something you use often!

    • @busybila
      @busybila Před měsícem

      I understand and I thought it would bother me at first but it doesn’t actually! I’m sensitive to the feeling of holes in my socks but I don’t feel the mending at all. I think it also helps that I tend to knot my threads on the outside of the sock

      The term sewist is just a combination of the words sew and artist and it can describe anyone who likes to sew! A seamstress refers to someone who makes a living through sewing. My projects are typically for myself so the label seamstress doesn’t feel right

    Fixing things is where it’s at. Most recently, my son’s straps on his oculus controllers broke. I replaced the broken parts with some scrap leather and a new rivet and now good as new without having to toss the old skins and spend $40 on new ones.
