I love the spreadsheets and the level of your nerddom and craziness! (Said in the most genuine, admiring way possible!)
Hiiiiii friend! Yes I like it, more please :)
Obviously I would LOVE some kind of video about tips for sewing your own wardrobe.
Also just really love the weekly update- and seeing projects progress over multiple videos.
Glad you're getting into this! I also went back and watched all your wedding dress videos. Cliff hanger! Maybe one final video to show the final dress and your thoughts etc?... Haha yep, I ask a lot 😇
Hah, thank you!! I will do my best! I also do think it'll be fun to look back on things as they come together!
A suggestion... Weave kitchen/hand towels. Quick use scraps and useful 👍💙
Hey Kat - Lynn Newman here - I’m loving this video but whew! You have a lot going on. I can’t tell you how thrilled I am that your new sweater is going to be a Theo Kat creation. And it’s looking beautiful.
Weaving? Are you kidding? I love that you jump right in to new techniques, and it makes me happy you’ll be able to give the scarf to your sister.
I am terrified to write down all the things I want to do. You may have some competition for most projects on wish list.
Where in Ohio??? I live in Ohio!
Any remodel is stressful. And all the decisions!
Love the vid! And you! 💕
Thank you so much for all the comments!! You're right, it's a lot, but I love all of these projects so much! We're visiting just outside of Cleveland :)
Really enjoyed this longer format and all of those bookmark things are so cool 👍🏻
Thank you Kerry-Anne! Thanks for watching and I’m glad the bookmarks were helpful!
I'm a knitter and thank you for the tip! ❣️
Oh boy!! 🎉
I would love to see some longer format videos from you! I remember finding you on TikTok then I was curious to see if you also made CZcams videos, but found that the last one was from 5 yrs ago, so I'm happy to see you've decided to give it a go again!
Thanks for following me across platforms!! I did enjoy making this one, so definitely planning to make at least a few more and see how we go - hopefully I'll be able to bring a longer format version of forensic sewing over here too!
Yes more!! I follow you all over the place lol
Also nice to see someone else who has a large number of projects on the go 😅 I’m not alone!
Love the vlog and long form video!
I'm nosy and want to know about the 67 in progress projects.... and but also don't understand how you can manage the brain space for that much !
To be fair, I can't manage the brain space for that much, that's why it lives on a spreadsheet! I will add this to my list for next week :)
@@katmakes Spreadsheet sounds very organised indeed, but I also was just impressed by the extent of the creative juices needed to dream up and commence that many projects at once. I think my head would explode!
