So much fun. 🤗 That shop! Oh, my heavens! I could be in there for hours…days even!! 😍 Watching you show Ben your latest creations is like watching a student present a project to a teacher. It cracks me up. 🤣 Another home run!!! 🎉 🤍🫖🤍

Hello Janet, sorry I missed the chance at naming Sara. Very creative idea with the slashing and layering😍 I love the way you store your buttons!! Thank you, I'm grateful to be a part of your caring group.

Yay Sera for Seraphina! Fabulous slashing video! Tfs.

Hi janet we loved the video with a visit to the fabric shop. Happy Crafting x

Oh that was wonderful. 💕💕💕💕💕

💜🎶Good day Janet .. Wonderful video.. marvelous fabric shop .. Love your process ... great fashion for those who wear holes in their jeans ... on purpose... In my day it was colorful patches on my jeans because I was wearing them out .. and didnt want to give them up !! 👍🏻🕯I LOVE FREDDY 🐾🐾 I miss my Jackie 💜🎶🇨🇦

CATHERINE from GA with strong coffee here! I totally approve naming your sewing machine SARA!! Sara is my first name actually. I like to name stuff we use and love. I have a grabber thingy I named JACK REACHER! I have a Roomba IRobot Hoover I named Mr. Carson and another small blue hoover named Mrs.Hughes from Downton Abbey. Blessings upon you and your sweet family. Catherine

Another great video Janet! Your soothing voice has just relaxed my 2 year old grandson off to sleep, while watching you sew with your sewing machine!! . Start "them" early eh? 😅 Just live that shop!! What a wonderland? X

The torn pocket looks great with the denim & I think it would make a great pocket on a pair of jeans 👍👖 I’m playing with denim this week too 🪡 Lovely name for your lovely sewing machine 🖤💖

I loved this video. First that shop was like going into a bakery for me. The way buttons were displayed was so wonderful! I wish we had shops in my little town like this. All those laces and appliqués! Idk how I could have controlled myself. If you ever go to an art supply shop, I may pass out. If its anything like the ones in Venice, very apothacary like as I imagine. Sigh. It brings you joy just to shop. We have lost all these charming shops to chains and covid, and its not special anymore to go anywhere in person to shop. Oh I love when you guys have a show and tell with your family. Freddy is the boss! he is adorable🖤 I could watch your family vlogs all day. You guys have too much fun. Especially playing boardgames and snacking. My brother and I have a big collection and painting the figurines will take a lifetime. But that is another hobby. That pocket turned out great. I would put it on my jeans, a bag or journal🩷💜🩷💜🩷

Hi Janet, how funny when i said last week i wanted to do this for ages.well, i ended up doing 2 denim pockets like this yesterday 😊. Must send you a picture on IG 😊

I am so excited you chose to use denim in this, your fabric manipulation process video. I know after watching your first fabric manipulation video it inspired me to look at the denim i had sitting in my trash can and go on to tell you i was going to use that ratty old fabric for such a project Janet, i truly thought it was a brilliant idea until i really thought about it and decided i had no idea how to even proceed. . Well Janet, you have now figured that out for me. and I truly feel like the Little Engine That Could. I had the best time with you in the haberdashery shop. That is the exact kind of place i would love to fill with people , see what they are buying and what projects they had in mind. I imagine myself walking around the shop with my coffee sharing ideas and listening to the sounds of creativity all around me . And then , on the other side of the coin, It's also the kind of shop that i would love just to have all to myself . so because i threw out that old pair of jeans i needed to replace them. I went off to the store and found the perfect pair of jeans ........perfect because they required no alternations. I need to mention now these are jeans with the ripped up pieces throughout. The other reason I called them perfect is because they were marked half price. When i showed them to my husband he said..." and if you would have paid full price you could actually have jeans with no rips or holes in them " Interesting comment coming from him. One of the first things my future mother in law had said to me was how when my husband was a preschooler he was so active she had to practically put patches on his jeans weekly because he always ended up with big holes in his jeans. I should clarify he was not my husband when he was a preschooler rofl rofl Always loving your vids where you, Freddie and the boys are all hanging around together having a great family time. i always feel we are so privileged to gather together with you and your family

Omg I love this fabric slashing so much 😮😮😮 ohhhhhh haberdash looks yummy. 😊 Painted Fabric ohhhhhhhhhhhh😮loving flos little slippers 😂

I love the slash pocket. I would make another one put them together and make me a change purse

I love your denim pocket, Janet, with all the colorful fabrics peeking out! You’re right - it could be used on just about anything - how fun! I can envision a pocket like that as a small journal cover… Thank you for sharing your trip to that shop - I literally gasped at all the buttons and how they were displayed so beautifully (everything was, really…) Sooo much fun stuff to look at… I would never want to leave! I had a nice hot cuppa, and was sipping along with you during your coffee break. ☕️ Hugs to you and Freddie! 😊❤️🐾

Video is hard on our eyes. Please pay more attention to your lighting.

Super cool. I like all the ideas - even putting it on jeans even though the boys were like "no way!" :D People will stop you and beg to know where you got your jeans ❤

Howdy, Janet! And "One Paw Up" for Freddie! Thanks for sharing your process of manipulating some denim. Love the look of the bright colorful fabric popping through the blue. And speaking of colorful... What a "yummy" haberdashery! It's like a candy shop for crafters! So delightful! Blessings & Bubbles...ooo🧶🧵✂

Good morning Janet! 🍄🧚‍♀✨ This was so clever - taking a jeans pocket and slashing through and letting the scrap fabric underneath peek out. This would look amazing just about anywhere. I love how you always take something ordinary and add your magic to it. The transformations are so fun to watch. And speaking of fun, the interaction between you and Ben is so precious. I love how he always asks great questions about your creations. Is he absolutey positive he wouldn’t like that pocket on his jacket somewhere? 😉 Lovely name for your sewing machine, welcome Seraphina! Big hugs and lots of love from Evelyn Rose, Sophia the beasties and I to you, Freddie, Flo, the fairies and all the fam! 🧚‍♂✨💕🌳

Beautiful pocket. Huge Hugs to you, Freddie and Ben. Namesta 🐞🐞🐞

I’ve just completed an upcyled denim bag using this raw edge reverse appliqué technique. I learned it around twenty years ago whilst studying textiles. I used vintage sari fabric behind the bag panels. I don’t cut beyond the first layer but choose my colours carefully. I was lucky to get some leather leftovers from farrier aprons. I pieced them together with Sari yarn to create a strap. I’m lucky enough to have three singer machines. Two 99k and one 66k.

Fabulous Janet. I love this technique. Wow …..your visit to that gorgeous haber shop….smashing. Btw we have been watching one of your recommendations on YT - Escape to rural France..Dan and his fantastic efforts on the chateau. Absolutely love it. Hugs to all and Sara 😊🙃🐨🇦🇺 Jx

Oh. My. Goodness! That button display!!! I really like that you focused on this technique again… I ‘get’ it better this time around 💚 Beautiful!! I think the pocket would look great as a flap on a bag. Oh, and marmalade 🧡 Love me a whisky marmalade 😊

Another lovely idea! I have an entire tin of denim pockets. I guess I know what I'll be making... And, oh, that, shop-- it's fabulous!

Hi Janet… so fabulous ❤❤❤ and yes I would wear a jeans with pockets like that! Those pockets are lovely on rustic wood for outdoor garden decorations. Greetings to you!

Another beautiful idea, I will watch the fabric heart video too. What a wonderful haberdashery shop!😍xx

Janet, I was thinking to make a little change purse or a keychain. So many ideas, or even a themed banner for the window.

yet another fab idea! love the pocket.i wish we had a good haberdashers close by its great to go touch and feel fabric before we buy x the pocket would make a gorgeous purse x

Luv this idea…fantastic! Oh …marmalade for sue..lol

Love that Denim pocket! How creative!

Love this a lot!!! ❤thank you for sharing

The pocket turned out awsome.

What beautiful surprise!

Marmalade please.

Looks like fun. 💙😎👍

Marmalade and marmite together, sweet and salt just gorgeous. Love your pocket. Love Freddie too xx

What fun Definitely on my to do list. I think it should go on your recycled denim bag an extra pocket. What an amazing shop like s little flash back to years gone by before we bought everything on line. I’m so glad it’s continuing to trade. This is on my to do list 🤔 I think that is getting to be a long list maybe if I can employ an assistant at fairy central and pay in buttons it could be sooner. Thank you for a lovely Tuesday treat ❤️🦄🧚‍♀️

Very interesting and creative idea!❤

I cant wait to make some of these!

Oh it's so cool!! Now I see the denim blue color, it's beautiful!! Loved the haberdashery, so quaint and yet holds so much of the specialty items we love using. Tea time looks superb❤

Awesome idea

I enjoyed this video. It was my treat after cleaning. Flo’s postcards are adorable.

Oh wow, the denim looks so great with this technique, really love it, tfs Janet. Have you come across the lovely you tuber Rose Wildsmith? She does a little video using the slashing techniques with paper, she calls it ''slashed and tattered paper chenille'', very pretty. Oh my !! What an amazing Haberdashery store! 😍. The wall of buttons and laces and threads, the beautiful beads, and the milliners vault of treasures✨✨. Goodness what a feast of inspiration for the eyes and heart. I think I also would have needed a cuppa or two afterwards☕☕. Thanks so much for taking us with you.😍🧵✨🧵✨🪡✂✨🧶✨
