    What to say? Because I’m a bit flabbergasted. Well, every little book is marvelous, each cover is fabulous, the insides are ingenious. I’ve never seen so many books in one video. I was bombarded with lovely ideas for covers, closures and puffy, lacy pages. I’m boggled by the clever use of vintage ephemera and stamps. I’m going to watch this video again! Thanks!

    What a precious selection of books. There are some well-loved sewing enthusiasts in our history that will hopefully inspire future generations. Thank you for sharing this. The music is the icing on the cake for the filming presentation.

    I don't know why, but I'm sitting here watching this and tears are streaming down my face. I have to go to work and I just wanna stay home and sew......these are so beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing these beautiful treasures. I'm going to try making one for a young, single mom I know. She has a beautiful 8 yr old boy and I bet she'd love a neeedlebook made by me. Wish me luck! You are amazing!

    My Granddaughter has expressed an interest in learning how to sew. I have been looking at needle books so that I can make her one for Christmas.
    She can raid my fabric stash. I saw your video and I was seriously in awe. They are so very beautiful, ingenious and I loved every one of them. Thank you so much for showing them to us. That is a mountain of work and so well done. ❤️

    Your sew and tell made me cry…it embodies all my sewing ancestors who have past on, back to my great grandmother. I am currently gathering supplies to make my daughter a needle book. She is a purple girl. I will include my inspiration from your needle book/sewing kit. 💜

  • @amylouwalden2411
    @amylouwalden2411 Před 2 lety +1

    Wow. Each one is so unique and beautiful. I especially love the use of old clothing labels, the blue ribbon from a swim meet (used as a pocket in book 5), the use of stamps from old letters, the abandoned center of a crocheted granny square in book 6, the old playing cards and post cards, & even a boy scout troop number badge. This is truly up-cycling at its finest. Thank you so much for sharing these.

    Your work is absolutely beautiful. I could sit and watch your video over and over. I have made a needlebook for my daughter for Xmas, using old doilies hand embroidered by her grandmother. Your work is so inspiring. Thankyou for sharing. You have given me so many more ideas. I made a lace pocket in the back of mine and filled 5 bobbins of different colours. Your postcard with cotton would have sufficed, however, you live and learn.
