Hello and welcome to my channel! My name is Sarah and I’m glad you’re here.
I’m a self-taught sewist living in Paris, France and here I want to share videos about my sewing projects, my creative process, how I wear my handmade garments, and especially, what inspires me! I’m also a beginner knitter and passionate book lover, so you’ll probably see some of that too!
You can also find me here: Instagram: sarah__naomi_
I was drooling over all the beautiful fabrics! I would especially enjoy seeing the shop with all the trims. I know about Liberty fabrics from watching videos by some ladies in the UK and Australia.
Nossa, que sonho fazer o próprio vestido de noiva, amei conhecer seu canal, concerteza vou assistir muitos vídeos seus, logo quero iniciar meu curso de corte e costura, meu coração anseia fazer minhas próprias roupas.
Hi, I love the perfect tailored waist look of for example the black dress you showed, however I love to eat and since I’m pretty petite maybe even more so than you, my stomach just bulges when I indulge in yummy yums! lol! I have started wearing more skirts for this reason that when they’re high waisted I can pull them higher when I’m sitting down LOL. I know it’s a funny problem. what is the best way to sew dresses and skirts that are adjustable a little bit to be able to loosen them just a lil bit. I tried elastic and it still pushes on my stomach sometimes.
Lol, I often have the same thoughts! My tummy bulges when I eat too and the Helen's Closet Donovan skirt is just perfect for staying comfortable while sitting!
Hello Sarah, I just stumbled upon your channel and I cannot tell you how much I enjoy your videos! You are so talented designing and making your own outfits, all your dresses and skirts and tops are so beautiful! I especially enjoy your full screen modeling of your outfits (pls keep doing that😊) , they all look gorgeous on you! Thank you for your lovely work!
Thank you so much and I'm glad you appreciate the full-length views! They're quite hard to film in my little space, but I find it so helpful to see because it's easier to get a sense of the final silhouette and proportions of a garment or outfit and I wanted to offer the same here!
What a lovely video, thank you so much for sharing these outfits! You truly have an amazing, classic and chic style that came through in every item ❤❤❤
Wonderful makes. I'm afraid there's a reason why most swimsuits have two straps ;). But it's a pitty it doesn't stay up, because it looks wonderful! Thanks for sharing your makes.
I have been wanting to get back to more solids and classic fabric patterns and you've definitely inspired me! They always feel so boring to make, but they never look boring when worn! I love all of these pieces! 😍
Huge fabric markets in Mumbai city in the state of Maharashtra. A big fabric industry is also at Surat city in the state of Gujarat. Each Indian state has a specialized weave, like the "Ikkat weave" of the state of Orrisa. I like your work, the simple yet elegant dresses and skirts. I would like to send you a good fabric.
Hi Sarah, great work! I am 54 and have been sewing for as long as I remember, and I think you are doing great. For the bathing suit, you can just make a strap for the other shoulder, either a thin one or a gathered chunky one, it will look very interesting and solve your problem.
I love all of the clothes you made, especially the blue dress. The fit is fantastic! I would suggest shortening the neckband on the v-neck top so it doesn't stick up.
Hi Sarah - I just discovered a pattern company (Just Patterns) with some styles I thought would really appeal to you. Specifically, their Ines dress struck me as one you would really like. Have fun!
Came back to this video just now, as I brought a lovely double gauze muslin. It’s white with sage green foliage and soft yellow-y golden flowers. And I knew you’d give great inspiration for what to do with it. The first top will be my pick for my new fabric!
Hi Sarah, you mentioned you were knitting a pink top that started to look like a dirty mop. I'm currently having the same issue and I'm trying to figure out why certain knitted pieces look "dirty and grey" while I'm knitting them. I wash my hand thoroughly before I pick up any knitting/sewing project, so they can't possibly be dirty. I think it's the way the light reflect and creates shadows from the texture of the knitting that causes this dirty look. Either way, I find this discouraging because I can never guess whether a yarn will produce this "dirty" look once knitted up. I've never heard anyone else describe this phenomenon and I was relieved when I heard you mention it.
I wanted to read the book list u suggested but I not can't find the list! Can u provide the video or link? I have been searching and pulling my hair out with no success! Thanks
I mentioned my favorite books read in 2023 in my video Top Makes of 2023 ✨｜Sewing & Knitting (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jGd0L0ThpoA.html) and I linked all the books in the description below that video. I hope that helps!
Congratulations for such a beautiful dress, not many women can say that they made their own wedding dresses! You look so adorable and your husband is a lucky man for sure. Wishing you many years of joy and beautiful memories, love from TN, USA
This video is pure magic! ✨ Being a sewing aficionado, I’m always on the lookout for new techniques and imaginative projects. The sewing universe is full of surprises! 🎉🪡
I really enjoyed seeing your outfits and fabrics and plans. I can tell you really love fabric and I am drawn to fabrics as well. Some are almost too pretty to use. :)
Thank you Sarah for the lovely video! Is there cashmere fabric for coats! I am in Brazil but my aunt is going to Paris next month, so if you let me know whether or not I would ask her to buy it for me! Thank you ❤
The available fabrics to purchase in the shops I mentioned change often that I can't say for sure, but I know some of them stock cashmere coating fabric often like Sacrés Coupons and So Tissus. I hope that helps!
It’s definitely nicer to watch videos like these when the description/explanation of each garment is given as a voice over while you’re showing it being worn.
I'm glad you enjoyed it! It takes a LOT more time to film and produce, but it's important to me to show these clothes and fabrics in movement - it helped me so much when I was learning to sew!
This video just came up in the feed. I'm so happy so I had to subscribe. I love everyone of the outfits especially, the black ramie. Even though I'm 73 & no longer have the figure for these styles, I can reminisce & dream. Tyfs dear soul! You are a blessing!😊
Hi Sarah....great combination of sewing and travel. Thoroughly enjoyed your vlogs in Paris and Japan. I grew up in Japan. Are you part Japanese? Your accent sounds a little bit like it. xx Karen
I'm glad you enjoyed those videos, they were a lot of fun to make! And what a compliment! I am indeed 1/4 Japanese on my mother’s side, but I didn't grow up speaking it; I recently started learning it and I love the language 😊
Hi sweety, I have watched your videos since you started your sewing journey and I'm very proud of you and your progress! I love everything but specially the dress with stripes, wow it's so pretty and you look so cute💟Love from USA
Thank you for a balanced excursion. The architecture and celebrated buildings in Paris astonish me no matter how many times I see them. And the shopping fulfills my thrill of fabric shopping, but doesn't cost me a penny. (Nor does it add to my already sizable stockpile)
Ose patterns are just gorgeous, like many French pattern companies, but they are all cut for slim ladies with not much bust or hips, I would love to find a French company that worked for more hourglass shapes..if anyone knows of any...
I adore Paris. I had the privilege of studying there for six weeks in 2018. It was amazing. I loved every minute of it. How did you end up living there? I’d love to hear about how you found a job and managed to live there full time.
I'm so glad you were able to experience living here and that you had a good time! I'm thinking of filming another Q&A video soon and I'll keep this question in mind!
