"No matter how much I tried to preplan" ... Every artist ever simultaneously nods in knowing agreement.

@catherinewhite2943 3 года назад

Not just artists but we artisans as well. I don't have the vision of a true artist but I have the skills to take someone else's vision and craft it. Yet always there is a point of, "Okay, hmmm, tricky... And I get out of this pickle how?" But I always do, and learn something new in the doing.

@JaneConnorEmbellisher 3 года назад

I look at preplanning as marshalling my creative forces and it gives me a place to start. I know along the way there will be obstacles which will modify the direction and the odd discovery of creative treasures that get added to the journey. My final destination becomes better than my original vision.

@MedorraBlue 3 года назад

This is random but I just wanted to say THANK YOU SO MUCH for having captions. A short story: I'm hard of hearing, and a few years ago, RU-vid removed fan/community captions. This means that creators have to do captions themselves, and so many just don't bother with it. We used to have users be able to submit captions in their native language to help everyone out, but so many of them were completely deleted. And RU-vid's automated captions are atrocious, and they never work when you need them to! So whenever creators go the extra mile to do their own captions, it truly means so much. And to make things better, your captions are even funny and have musical descriptions! I watch your channel with my mom, who is partially deaf, and we love your work and your captions make that so much easier. So truly - thank you!!! Also, this skirt is GORGEOUS. One day, I hope I can have a fraction of this skill so I could make something like it for myself!

@Shamariah2011 2 года назад

This is a serious question I’m not being facetious or rude… Why do captions describe sounds like “pins rattling” or “Soft music playing” if a person who has been deaf since birth wouldn’t have a reference for that sound. Is it for folks hard of hearing who may have lost hearing but has a memory sound recall, and if so does the sound memory fade over time? Thanks for whoever answers

@MedorraBlue 2 года назад

@@Shamariah2011 Some people who are functionally deaf might have a slight amount of hearing - not enough to understand a noise, but enough to recognize that it's there. And those captions are great for when you hear a noise, but can't identify what it is. For example, my mom has moderate hearing loss, and some music just sounds like "a beat" or she can just hear the bass. Or she might hear a "scratching", but not know if it's paper rustling, our dog running around, a sound outside, and so on. So these captions are great for identifying those sounds! They can answer questions like "I hear a deep, continuous sound, is there music playing or is someone talking?" or "What's that high pitched, scratchy noise?" And finally, for people who are 100% deaf, those descriptions can help give a sense of ambiance and mood to those who might not hear sounds from "off camera". This was a great question and I hope this helps! :)

@@MedorraBlue thanks! Super descriptive and helpful! Most appreciated

@miippi 2 года назад

@@MedorraBlue this was absolutely amazing response. I may have to screenshot it and start giving this speach whenever someone asks me this. I do love the captions too, but for so long bernadette's channel had so many commentary from the person doing the cc, and it was so hard to keep up with what was said in the video, and what was someone else's inner monologue. This has however been fixed, and I love it. Also, i noticed that some of her older videos in which she used to call her sibling "sister" has now been changed, as they started using they/them pronouns. I do believe in respecting everyone's pronouns and gender identity, but changing the captions from the original source is not good. The captions should be what other people will hear, "nothing added, nothing removed" is a general idea of captioning and interpreting. I know it's small thing, but it does carry on a bigger influence.

@victoriawhitcomb6475 2 года назад

I have captions on because it helps me focus so I always really appreciate it when captions are done. Without captions it makes things harder for me to concentrate on, idk why, but it always has, which is why I'm always so happy when subtitles/captions are added!

okay i know she won’t see this, but may i just express how grateful and happy it makes me to see such lovely effort put into the captioning? so many people benefit from captions and they are often woefully sloppy or nonexistent, but bernadette and the caption wizard make them delightfully tidy and include so many wonderful secret messages. thank you for your thoughtfulness and dedication to accessibility❤️

@cristiaolson7327 3 года назад

I purchased a 1914 treadle Singer machine a couple months ago and spent several days joyfully restoring it to it's former glory. Thankfully the previous owner had been a tailor who maintained it in excellent condition for decades, even though it was rarely used after the first few years (technically I suppose the owner's father was the tailor, but the son had taken care to store the machine well after his parents passed), so my work was mostly on restoring the finish on the wood, giving it a thorough cleaning, and replacing the leather drive belt. It now has a place of honor in the living room where I can sew comfortably, and I'm getting the hang of using it so I can give it the active life it deserves.

Only new to this channel but over the last week (I was home sick from work) I have smashed out all your vlogs. When I was much younger I made all my own clothes and did embroidery as well. Many happy hours spent sitting quietly hand or machine sewing. I also had an old singer machine that had the thigh bar that whizzed along. Today I said to the husband, that is it - I am going back to making my own clothes (I have been sick of the crap sold in shops for years now and have not purchased anything new for years - besides undies, socks and bra's obviously). We went up to the barn and I dug out my old Singer. The husband cleaned the timber case off for me. Back in the 80's I had it all rewired when I purchased it second hand. Thanks to you I now knew how to find out how old it was - 1947. I always thought it was older than that! Anyway I plugged it in and it works. I just have to find the thigh bar (which will be in a cupboard somewhere). That old Singer was used by me last, when I made all the clothes for our wedding party. It would only do straight stich but it was also true, never skipped a stich. It also has the most amazing little box of tools as well. Between myself, my mother and my grandmother (now deceased) we figured out the bias maker, but today I looked online and found out what all the other attachments do. One of them rolls a hem and applies the lace on top at the same time! So I will start reteaching myself all my old skills and hopefully take my adult daughter along for the sewing ride. Bless you Bernadette for your channel. It is full of beauty and craft. PS - I had to laugh at your scene at the end where you walk and read a book at the same time. Cannot tell you how many times I ran into poles when I was younger doing just that. Knocked myself out cold one day. Aaagh the joys of reading.
