This is one of the best things that CZcams has recommended me to watch. Absolutely heart-warming.
[Edit]: I've just looked her up and found out that the Lord has finally called her home last year. Bless her family and I'm happy that she can be reunited with the family that left before her.
boredoutofherwits Thank you. I was just going to do that. What an age! What a legacy.
thanks for the update.
boredoutofherwits thank you for the update.
CZcams just suggested this and I’m crying at this woman. What a wonderful lady.
I like how she put it...not dying...but God calling her home. What a comforting phrase. ❤️❤️
thank you for letting us know...I was wondering how I could look her up when I don't know her entire name...--such a lovely Christian lady
@@deb1120 Her entire name was in the description. I looked there first to see if there were any updates. When I saw none, I looked it up!
"That's the story of learning, if everything went perfect, you really wouldn't learn." - Mrs Eva
ForgiveAndLove09 I loved that line!! I'm teaching myself to sew, and am a perfectionist. Think i'll write this quote on my board as a reminder that its a learning process
Great idea Kyrie.
Everything is designed to be for our learning.
Happy sewing dear one : )
I agree, I will remind myself everyday.
Love your username, Forgive and Love ❤❤❤
Forgive & Love!!!☺️ Yes!! Very "Profound Words!" from Miss Eva!! Those are "To Remember"..& pass on to Our Grandchildren!! ❤️❤️❤️☺️
She had a beautiful heart. She was called home Monday, November 19, 2018. Bless her heart.
She's in glory.
She die?
Thanks for letting us know...I know she's loving it there with the Lord!
Rest in peace !
What a beautiful, wonderful person! There are many jewels in her crown in Glory!
"The same kind of touch doesn't come from anybody else"
These lines she said about her husband who's special touch she misses even today .......made me cry
This story made me cry! As a child growing up...we were very poor,and our neighbor made me a pretty little dress...I can still remember the joy I had to receive and wear it.
This brought back such a touching memory! Thank you!
Susan Ernst I was crying to! I thought maybe my hormones or something was just out of whack this morning but I think I was crying because this woman is just so beautiful and her words are so comforting!
Susan Ernst, your comment made me cry. Sending love. 💖
Just think she had seen a lot: the evolution of automobiles, planes; 1st man on the moon; television, the Great Depression, WWII, etc. Now that's what you call "bucket list."
It made me cry also. God bless you
Susan Ernst
I love the video because it full of love and mercy
SHE IS SOOO BEAUTIFUL!!! I love Her. My Mom is now, 99 and I hope that She makes it to 100 next Year, in 2020!!!
I hope so too! I'm sure she's just as beautiful as Ms Eva!
I do too!
I will pray for your mom so she can make it to 100. All moms are wonderful.
❣Best wishes❣
Lord Jesus answer your prayer in Jesus might name
When I grow up, I want to be just like Miss Eva! She's a beautiful soul.
:D
Yes she is a good example of how we should spend our time. Thanking Jesus for her soul.
It's never too early to start. 😊
@@dawnmichelle4403 hey~ that's my line
"If everything went perfect, you really wouldn't learn" I just wrote this down on a piece of paper and pinned it on my wall.
She just taught me to pray over anything I give to a person.
I had never even thought of doing that before. She's a precious soul.
@@leanneramnarine2281 Yes she is. ❣️
This is a true Christian, sending out little love gifts . I know God is smiling ear to ear and maybe has shed a tear or two of joy. What a beautiful story. Sew on, dear lady, sew on!
My name is also eva. My Mom was also good in sewing. Not dresses but shoes. She passed away at 57 and that when i was 22. I dont have any idea on sewing before but now im age 41 starting to sew as my hobby on my free time. I remember my Mom's advices on sewing and now little by little starting to remember each of it. My sewing sometimes goes good also but sometimes its not. So i cried and talkin to my mom in my mind to help me and teach me how to, so i decided to be calm all the time concentrate and THANKS to CZcams that i can do a self study and learn how to sew while watching. And everytime i made a totebag i offered it to Her and sayin Look i've made it !
Im always missin my Mom everytime im in front of the sewing machine .
Such a precious lady, the love and empathy that went into making each little dress, I hope her gifts were truly appreciated by the girls who received them.
she make me love sewing more and more...i'll be 40 years old in February and it's not to late to learn
What a sweet obedient servant of Jesus Christ! Very inspiring!
I wish we'd seen where the dresses went. I love the fact that she prays over each item she's gifted. They are so beautifully made. Such consideration and respect for others, and her own life wasn't exactly easy being widowed so young with small kids. Bless her. Such a beautiful soul.
Women like Eva are rare jewels in today's world. A loving, optimistic, Godfearing, romantic, generous person like her will be indeed missed.
May God bless her adorable soul.
I hope you read this because you are a heroine to me. I don't have your faith, I don't have your wonderful attitude, or the giving of yourself and just your beautiful personality. I think you would have been a good friend and inspired me to live. I recently became handicapped, and I'm not doing a good job of it. Watching you on video has lifted my spirits. Thank you. My name,is also Eva.
Merida H
Your spirits have always been there. It was hiding until Ms Eva inspired you! Bless you too!!!
Yolanda Romero
Amen
Yolanda Romero
Amen
Merida H Keep the faith. Remember...when times look bleak know is another option..happiness. Choose to be happy...and count it all joy.
Merida H ~ I have been disabled for 12yrs now. I finally got over the delusional mind set that I would go back to work. I keep busy by doing counted cross stitch, learning to crochet, volunteering at church, and settling my mother-in-law's no will estate, and my husband's estate. I lost my mother-in-law on 12/30/2016 and my husband on 1/21/2017.
So please find your somethings to do and it will bring you out of your funk. Maybe read to kids in school or the library. There are many volunteer positions in schools, churches, nursing homes, hospices...
“There’s going to be a lot of happiness, and I’m glad I’m a part of it.” What a soul level inspiration. I’m 63 and I sew, too, mostly quilts and home decor (curtains, bedspreads, pillows, wall hangings, etc.). So I can appreciate her joy when she sews. But she had a special message to share and how happy I am that it continues to be shared, even now.
Eva was God's gift to all those children that got those dresses! Our Church fills hundreds of Christmas shoe-boxes each year! I am one of those who fills a Christmas Shoe-box, and it gives me joy to do it! I hope I can be just as useful to God as Eva was! ~Janet in Canada
You surely are, Janet!
Why would ANYONE dislike this amazing lady and her work?! She’s 100 years old at the time of this recording and doing something productive and positive with the Gifts she’s been Blessed with. She could otherwise be a gossipy, grumpy, violent, nosy busybody like some of the ones that live in my building, causing problems for other people. Instead she’s doing a wonderful thing for others and enjoying the time she has left. How many of YOU are THIS productive and caring for others? How many of YOU are genuinely THIS gifted creating clothing that will bring joy to a child in need? God Bless you anyway. In Jesus’ Holy Name. Amen.
I just came here to say God bless you🙏
hi Mrs. Eva !! I'm Emily Porter I am from South Carolina!! I am making a dress for a little girl to go in to one of my boxes this year!! this video made me even more excited to make it!! it is going to be pink,with white sleeves and cloud trim !! I just wanted to tell you ,you are so pretty ,sweet , and amazing!! Jesus Loves y'all and we Love y'all too!!
What a doll she is!! As a widow myself, what she said about the "touch of another" is SO true!! I pray I can be a blessing in this life alone, just as she is.
What a beautiful thing for anyone to do for so many….but, the fact that you’re 100 years young Eva, makes the blessing even sweeter!!!! God Bless you always!!! ❤️
Your an inspiration to all of us! You look amazing for 100 yrs old. To me you are an angel sent from up above to help this world to be a better world. Thank you for sharing this beautiful video! God Bless you and have a Happy 101 Birthday in October 🙏🏼🎂🎉❤️
She is adorable! My grandparents are just like that. My grandpa is 91 and my grandma 86 and they are as fit as ever. And they tell the best stories 😂
Cool i wish i had them but i think gonnw make a perfect couple with my husband
Andrea Gutmann I envy you!
Yes... you are blessed .
I never knew my grandparents...😪
You have blessings. :-)
@@himanshusachdeva3815 God bless you both, in your marriage. May you be a blessing to your children and grandchildren. 💕
Awe this just warmed my heart so much, I adore elderly people, so full of wisdom, knowledge and love, and most importantly they love the Lord. I know she's no longer with us, but she's now in the presense or our Lord.
We are so thankful for her work to help spread the Good News and Great Joy of Jesus Christ, Ashley Jenkins!
I was born in 1959 & in 2009 I bought my first sewing machine so I could teach myself to sew holsters and other outdoor products. When I first got my sewing machine I remember thinking to myself that I could teach myself to sew. I thought, back then, if little old ladies can sew then so can I? Folks, the first thing I learned about sewing: it ain't so easy for me to teach myself to sew! 2019 I still sew using my Adler machine but I had to promise my mom that when we chat that I can not pester her about how to sew (for God's sake, Michael, go take some sewing classes). My mother still sews using a Viking and I have several of her quilts. I graduated in 1977 and wore a custom tailored, three-piece suit she sewed to my graduation. Currently I am considering buying a third machine, a commercial walking foot for leather. Today I am a decent sewing machine operator and really enjoy the learning process and challenges.
Mike Freeman, did you eventually learn to sew without classes? I am 38 years and I don't have time to attend classes I would like to teach myself to sew, how possible is it? What machine is best for beginners like me? Thanks
@@lizw1493 ,Two pieces of advice .
1. always use a short stitch but not so short you cant pick them out if you have to.
2. always press your seams in the way they will go AS YOU MAKE them.
What a beautiful story.
I can't believe there were 78 dislikes,there should've been 0!
Seems like they are narcissists who lack empathy , love & humanity!
Jeffery L Maxie I was so surprised at the dislikes as well.
Maybe they didn't have mother's love so they are full of anger...
Just ignore them, they mean nothing.
I guess they are people with Cold 💓 no feelings,no affection and no faith.they are 👿 ignore them.
I am speechless, you have given me courage and inspiration to go on. It is a shame that some of us hardly to anything like this though we are young and strong. May God bless you and give strength to go on. Ms.. Eva you are a star.
BEST THING I HAVE SEEN IN THE LONGEST TIME. You know when she said ‘You can never forget some people for the way they touch you’. This was everything for me!
Thank you Lord for such a shining example of Eva. So uplifting and something that we can all learn from.
What a wonderful and special lady you are Eva. The little children will love what you made.
The way she described her husband and their relationship was SO touching! More couples need to love like that!!!
I loved this wonderful story of a bright and happy believer in the Lord Jesus! All those dresses, at 100 years old, she was amazing. It really touched my heart.
Eva's story has touched the hearts of thousands, Elizabeth McKay! God bless you!
Samaritans Purse thank you! I will be with her one day!!
The true beauty doesn't lie on skin....she proved that once again...her heart is just beautiful..and her words also..love u granny😍💕😘
Brought tears to my eyes. I remember as a teenager there was a woman in our building she was poor like us but a different race..And made many creative it's items by hand she was so kind, and honest and she didn't make fun of me because of my disability..Loved her lost contact..😢😢😢
What a wonderful lady. Such a great story. Her love will be shared around the world.
she's so cute..bless her heart..I can't believe people would give a thumbs down...thats awful....but at least this has more thumbs up...there are some heartless vicious people out here in the world..but at least God gave us this beautiful soul..
So good to see a lady of mature years who was able to live an independent life in her own home.
well thats a person that lived a life well, was good at what she does, honest about her early mistakes and candid about life, and even in very ripe old age still uses her gift and abillities to make a differance.
I’m just crying here in my room watching this sweet video. God bless you, Eva. Thank you so much for sharing your experience and love for the Lord and his people.
Thank you Lord for Miss Eva!
May we all be like her every day.
She's soo sweet, soo creative, such strong faith, and most of all she's looking still pretty even at this age. She reminds me of my mum who went to be with the Lord. People should love care and respects their parents.
It'd be cool to see her watch a recording of the little girls opening the gifts, & saying thank you.
When you do for the Lord Jesus, all you want is a person to feel His love throught your hands. It is like you have been a tool.
If someone thanks you for something like that, you say "do not thank me, thank God. He gave it to you, not me".
You know what would bem amazing? One little girl, as a grown woman, converted to Jesus, saying "that one day, I did not have a dress to wear on Christmas, but God provided me a box full of gifts, and a brand new handmade dress. I felt so loved that one day."
Giiiirl, you have no idea how that would make me get on my knees and thank God for being a useful servent.
God bless you.
Praise the Lord Sis. Eva! You are my Hero!
Eva is truly an inspiration. I am looking forward to meeting her when we get to Heaven. The little girls that received her dresses weren't the only ones blessed by her story.
God bless this beautiful woman. What an inspiration to the Lord. Her work is still giving fruit here on earth. Beautiful! 💕
God bless you, El Law!
This is so beautiful and inspiring. May we all be reminded to use the gifts God has given us to bless others. Thank you for what you are doing, Ms. Eva. You are a beautiful and wonderful soul.
Such an inspirational story! I almost cried when she was talking about her husband.
I loved this story. I can relate so much with Eva. I too get up early to sew. I too lost the love of my life and then my son. No other love will replace that special one. I pray God will allow me to sew to 100 or longer if it's His will. If Eva is still alive and sewing, May God bless her every stitch.
Pretty Amazing! Made me cry when she talked about her husband. So glad it showed up on CZcams. Lovely lady!God Bless you!
Hello Nancy am Frank
This is true servanthood.
Beautiful Ms Eva,you are a shining example of a servant of God.Hugs From UK.xxx
This absolutely blessed my life Sister Eva. Thank you for sharing your gift with the world. I’m so encouraged by your testimony my Love. I love to sew, I’m also a seamstress, and this is the best sermon I’ve heard in years💕😇! You’re a beautiful example of a Godly Woman. Thank you Jesus for Sister Eva🥰
God bless you, Sylvia harris!
What a wonderful story. A true selfless human being. The love she put into making thoses dresses was very humbling.
Wait a minute. Who else is feeling like this is their calling? Maybe this is it. Hallelujahhhh! Crying at this grandmother's kindness. God bless her.
Same here, dear Ruth. Maybe that's it. God bless us all
Thanks to God for everything you are doing for sewing for another poeple and God remember you 👗💞💞💞💞💞
So sweet...makes me cry hearing her speak of her family and the children who will receive the dresses.....very inspiring
There is a great deal that can be learnt from the older generation, Eva you are a sweet kind soul and I am blessed to hear your words
You're a great inspiration. God bless you. I'm a beginner sewer and everyday asking the Lord's guidance. I sure would like to do something like this to help someone in need. How do I go about it. I'm not working, I'm receiving SSI. My church that I know of probably don't know about these programs. God bless you I give glory and honor to God almighty for using you as an instrument of love and peace. Very proud of you.

Bringing Many Smiles & Happy Hearts to Children!! ❤️🤗🙌🙏
I love sewing I learned at home. I can see myself at an old age in front of the machine.
Patricia Mesa me too! I learned from my grandmothers. Also knitting and embroidery, mostly from my Nanny but my Nan taught me to bake... but I never understood crochet.
If every one does a bit for underprivileged children this world we so so beautiful. Be like her.
I'm so touched by her personality and actions and am tearing up a bit, happy tears. She's such a precious grandma! Wherever she is now, I hope she's in a happy place.
I dont deserve it, but God is so good to me. I believe He led me to exactly what i needed to hear right now. Thank you, Mrs. Eva. My grandma's name was Eva☺ she was a sweet gal like you!
The same here. I was so opressed, feeling my work was not important. Our merceful and kind Lord has gaven me Joy again.
Sometimes the world tries to pull you down, tries to make you feel your mission is not important. Do not believe it. God called you for a reason and He loves you so much! He made you just as you are, with your gifts and talents. God bless you very much.
beautiful lady, an example to all of us. may God bless and protect her always. happy tears.
What an inspiration this lady is.....everything she does she gives glory to the Lord. Thanks for sharing....❣️
My mother is 80 she is also love to make dresses for her grand childrens herself..thier birth suits till their school dresses ..she is very fond of making new era dresses ..these ppl are speacil .thumbs up for all these kind a ladies who are making thier lives usefull
Such a blessing! Eva, you are a wonderful woman! Thank you for all that you do! God bless you sweet lady!
I am so moved. I love her! God Bless her! 💗💗💗
She reminds me of a christian elderly lady who loved to sew and crochet to give for gifts. She lived little over a hundred years old. She loved to laugh and talk to me about the Lord. I miss her.
What a beautiful precious lady. She truly has a gift from God. I lost my mom last year at 96 but I know she is in a better place. May God bless you beautiful lady and let you make it to 101.
Oh! My! Goodness! this has made me cry.
This sweet lady reminds me so much of my darling Mother-in-Law now in Heaven.
She lost her husband when my husband was born. Never married, told me the very same thing about the "touch" of someone you have so loved. People like this are an absolute Treasure.
Oh yes, those people are sent from God and go directly back to him. It seems they are like good angels walking amongst us.
Not in heaven, but sleeping in the dust until the day the Lord comes back
How precious this is. Her love for the Lord shines forth like a bright star, pointing us the way to go home.
I made a baby quilt out of purple and green fabrics. I gave it to my neighbor age 2. She and her parents were Karin refugees from Burma.
The parents were born in a refugee camp and had lived there while growing up. I will never forget the look on the childs's face while she clutched the quilt and walked with her mother out my front door. I saw them years later...yes, she still has the quilt.
Great Grandmaa,thank you for all the love you are bestowing on the mankind!!💐💐💐💐
What a precious, precious sweetheart she is, just keeping on for the Lord and letting Him work through her!! Love this story!!! God bless her and all the people she helps too. ♥
When she prayed over the gift for the child that is to receive it what a anointing 😇 touched my heart God bless her💜
She sewed beautiful dresses. What she did was is the example of Faith and works together. And she didn't let age come in the way.
We are so thankful for the heart she had to serve, Ashley Tkl! God bless you.
Thanks Psalm 34 May God bless you.
I woke up to this video. How beautiful. What an inspiration she is. What a way to start the day. God Bless her.
Hello Miss Eva...Thank you so much for inspiring me to get to work and use the gifts and talents God has given me to bless others. May God continue to bless you because you sure have blessed me.
I’ve seen a lot of CZcams videos but this is by far one of the best yet. ! All prays and glory to God the Father of all. !
Susan Harrison. I felt the same way when she blessed and prayed over the boxes that she worked so hard on to make a child happy. She's fullfilling "the law" so to speak. A lovely GODLY lady!
Dear Ms. Eva, I too will follow in your footsteps because my mother was proficient in sewing many things and I came to a love of sewing in my late 50s; I aspire to also make little dresses for little girls and will always remember you as the Angel on Earth who leads us all to be better human beings! God Bless you today, tomorrow and always. Much Love your way!
🥰 what a blessing to see this today! Praise the Lord for her testimony!
She was a blessing to children all over the world, Laura! God bless you.
This beautiful soul has inspired me to be a better child of God. I feel so blessed to have found this video clip while trying to find a pant sewing tutorial. What a giving heart. ♥️ I don’t know her but I can feel how much her presence on this earth is missed. Rest In Heaven!
God bless you, Good Girl!
15 seconds in and a lifetime of knowledge acquired! Eternal rest in the light of Christ!
Hello Mrs. Eva, what an Angel you are. My mother is still with me she also was a wonderful seamstress she doesn't sew any longer she's 95 years old, but loves to watch her girls see. Thank you. 🥀
What a beautiful lady, inside and out! Made me cry, thank you!
Yes Thank You Lord .... I know that touch...... Only from someone you love .... something Out Of This World ...❤❤❤❤
Aww my ❤️- I am starting on my 14 days lockdown & been reflecting on my life & I haven’t been using my life for His glory. I have a talent for sewing & I just wanna spend 14 days using my talent for His gospel & glory.
I love your heart. I thought of the scripture that the older women teach the younger ones. I can only hope to be like you! Amazing! Xoxox
This made me cry! Eva was certainly a special person, and we could all learn from her kind and loving heart!
Let's learn from her!
It just amazes me that these elderly people just keep on going, she's a sweet lady and bless her sole, I read she has gone home to Jesus, bless her heart, these are the kind of CZcams videos I like to watch.
This lady had the right attitude , you have a talent and you utilize for the benefit of others, especially the needy.
Amen, Tzarina Victoria!
What a blessing she is, and yet she is still doing what she loves, not only for herself but for others, A true servant of God!
Absolutely Beautiful!!!!!
Have no words to say! Praise and thank God for this mum. Psalm 91 - with long life I will satisfy you. God has been faithful to her. Such a blessing and a blessed lady.
Omw, she's such an inspiration. If God gives you a talent, use it. She couldn't have said it better. Rest in peace beautiful Angel.
We love that she used her talent for ministry, Zanap Williams!
