After a few months spent packing up and moving across the country with my family, I still wanted to show you guys all the fabric I currently have plans to use for colder weather sewing projects!
I initially filmed this video in September, thinking I'd still have plenty of time to dig into some fall sewing before we hit the road, but time got away from me and now it's the new year, I have SO many sewing projects I CANT WAIT to begin, and I can't wait to share them with you all!
THANK YOU SO MUCH for sticking around while I disappeared for a bit, and I'm so excited to get making again!

@madewithrach 7 месяцев назад

Wow 8 kids and you sewed most of their clothes?! You are amazing!! It’s so great you’ve been able to continue doing a hobby you love, and it sounds like your kids have been inspired by you too. How fun! Thanks for watching! I’m so glad to hear you’ve enjoyed!

@spinecollector9931 6 месяцев назад

Omg 4 boys! I have 1 with another on the way! Do you have any suggestions on boy patterns with super great instructions?

@capodicasa4038 7 месяцев назад

I'm a grandmother now. My own grandfather was a tailor and my grandmother on the other side was a dressmaker - so I've sewn all my life. It's not unusual to meet young people who can't use a pair of scissors, let alone thread a needle and - heaven forbid! - take up a hem! So I'm thrilled to know that there are young people like you out there. And teaching yourself new skills too!

@madewithrach 7 месяцев назад

That’s so amazing so many people in your family have loved sewing! My grandma taught me how to use a sewing machine when I was really young, and I’m so grateful! I hope I can inspire my daughter to want to do crafty things someday too. 💕

@capodicasa4038 7 месяцев назад

@valeriecoopet9897 7 месяцев назад

You have a lovely way of engaging the audience. You seem very comfortable talking to us. Love your sewing, too. I am also a true autumn. You helped me understand!

@madewithrach 7 месяцев назад

Thank you so much, that’s so encouraging to hear! It was definitely a little weird to get used to, but I feel like being able to chat with everyone in the comments makes me feel more and more comfortable every time I film. It makes it feel more real and natural since I know there are actually people watching who I’ll get to chat about it with afterwards, if that makes sense! I don’t know too many people in my day-to-day life who sew, so being able to connect with people here who also love sewing has probably been my favorite part of starting a channel! ☺️💕 Also, so happy to hear my video helped you narrow down your color season! 🍁

@saskia_makes 7 месяцев назад

Just found your channel through your first year of sewing video, and really enjoyed both of these videos. Definitely some new patterns and designers I haven’t heard of, and I think I want to make one of those bags as a gift for my sister! Looking forward to more of your videos in the future ❤

Good to have you back! Once you are settled, do you want to do fabric shopping in San Fransisco video?

@madewithrach 8 месяцев назад

Oh I’d love to do that! I definitely have some exploring to do here, and I’ll always look for an excuse to buy fabric. ☺️

@monicavonr9029 8 месяцев назад

you have such a good taste, I love all the fabrics. I'm a warm spring (I think) and can "borrow" many colors from autumn, can't wait to see your projects 🥰

@madewithrach 7 месяцев назад

Thanks so much ☺️ Oh warm spring colors are so beautiful and happy! I love borrowing from spring, but usually have to amp up my makeup a bit. Thanks for watching!

@bienchencreates830 8 месяцев назад

I'm so happy you're back!! I just discovered your channel yesterday and was really bummed to see that you haven't posted in a while.. I absolutely adore how much you look into adjustable clothing that will fit even when my body weight fluctuates through the day or over time! Can't wait to see what you'll create over this year! ❤️

@madewithrach 7 месяцев назад

Yay, I’m so happy you’re here! Thanks so much, I always look for patterns that’ll be comfortable even when I’m chasing around my toddler, and adjustable clothes are definitely easier to fit as a beginner sewist too! I’m so happy you’re enjoying my channel so far! ☺️

@madewithrach 7 месяцев назад

Thank you!!

@junimondify 7 месяцев назад

Don't worry about wearing black and it being not in "your" colour-wardrobe. I am a spring and wear black occasionally, it's just one of those things that technically, only few people can wear but realistically, given the right accessoires and make-up, more people can pull off. At least that's my experience.

@madewithrach 7 месяцев назад

Totally agree!! Just trying to be more mindful these days of which colors make me look alive with minimal effort, and black definitely isn’t one of them. Haha Still love it though, and will wear it head-to-toe often! I always feel put together in all black, even if it isn’t totally harmonious with my natural coloring. ☺️

@junimondify 7 месяцев назад

@@madewithrach Yes, I totally get that! And I will wear my best colours in day-to-day activities, but they can look too "loud" for my liking, when all I sometimes want is a bit of sophisticated elegance. Then it's time for the black outfit with rose gold jewellery :)

@jessheppell750 7 месяцев назад

Another idea for the tweed fabrics: make the mini skirt you suggested for the leather in the black tweed. It would look lovely with the top you are wearing or other turtle necks tops you suggested and be cozy with tights and boots.

@madewithrach 7 месяцев назад

Love that idea!! I was just recently gifted some really pretty wool plaid, and I might use that for the pinafore dress instead. Maybe I’ll use the tweed for the skirt! ☺️

@amandasimonds9 8 месяцев назад

Yay she’s back! Love that turtleneck! Where do you get your fabric? The turtleneck looks so soft and comfy and love the flannels!

@madewithrach 8 месяцев назад

Woo hoo!! Thanks so much! The fabric I used for my turtleneck is from Joann’s! There were a few other places I loved to shop for fabric in Boston, but I’ll have to find some new ones here in SF! Thanks for watching! ☺️

@Northandsouthsewing 7 месяцев назад

Ok. Great. I caught one of your videos and liked it. Scoped out what other videos you have and tried to see if you posted many (which you don't seem to do, unfortunately). You sold me with the 3 I watched, and I specifically made the decision when I watched your "colors" video. That was absolutely the BEST explanation of knowing your color season I have ever seen. Thank you! I had my colors done a couple years ago and found out I was a soft/muted summer (moonlit summer) which I had always before this been told I was an autumn (quite shocking actually....) so following along with your video gave me assurance. Looking forward to more.

@madewithrach 7 месяцев назад

Awesome, I’m glad to hear you’re enjoying my videos! ☺️ Now that we’re getting settled, I hope to have more consistent uploads. I’m so happy you enjoyed my color seasons video! I guess maybe it makes a little sense you were confused with summer since they’re both muted though! I know soft autumns can borrow from summer and true autumns can borrow from spring. I think I’m more muted than warm, but also a little too high contrast to be a soft season, so it’s confusing! Anyway, I’m so happy you found my channel and I hope to have more videos up soon!

@BlessingsatHome 7 месяцев назад

I absolutely love that fabric you are wearing and I am determined to go get it now! The sweater you made with it is perfection as well. Wool is one of my favorite fabrics, that green wool is so pretty! I just bought some wool to make my older two new jackets, they are rapidly growing out of their old ones I made to match their dad.

@madewithrach 7 месяцев назад

Thank you!! Your kids are so lucky to have you make them wool jackets! I love making things for my daughter too, but I wish the clothes would grow with her! 😂 Thanks for watching!!

@marinag108 7 месяцев назад

I think the fabric with the yellow fruits on it would make a very cute apron for you or your daughter 🥰

@madewithrach 7 месяцев назад

Oh it would! She’s been really into helping me in the kitchen lately too, so she’d definitely use it! Cute idea!

@twinnish 7 месяцев назад

Listening to you discuss your fear of the faux leather I related so much to the sentiment. I too, had an Epiphany recently, where I realized that literally it was just fabric and I can get more. I am not using an antique. I’m not using anything precious or rare. In my case, I’m usually using linen which I love. It can be a little expensive, but I can also get it pretty affordably. I don’t know why am afraid to cut into beautiful fabric. Linen is literally one of the easiest things to sew. It is more of a confidence issue. I have seen your work, and I am confident that you can make faux leather pants :)

@madewithrach 7 месяцев назад

Thanks so much for the encouragement!! I’m so happy to hear you can relate! 😂 I don’t know what it is! Of course I don’t want to waste perfectly good fabric on a failed project, or have to go spend money on new fabric, but it’s something else I can’t put my finger on and I have to get over it! Haha We need to pump ourselves up and just do it!

@CraftyGlassow 7 месяцев назад

I just found your channel maybe 2 or days ago, watched a ton of videos, then saw you hadn’t uploaded in several months and became instantly bummed because I really enjoyed the content! So this was a great surprise!! I am a self taught sewist and aside from about 2 skirts and an apron, I’ve made only craft items (boxed bags, tote bags, a few quilt, pot holders, several baby items such as bibs, burp cloths, teething rings, and play blocks. I learned how to sew so I could see garments and I think that’s what I want to really challenge myself with this year. But it is scary! Craft projects are not nearly as scary 😂 anyway, I’ve enjoyed watching your videos because it does make me feel like sewing clothes is a bit more achievable than how I’ve made it out to seem. Thanks for sharing! Also the fruit print looks like pears to me.

@madewithrach 7 месяцев назад

Yay, I’m glad you found my channel! I totally know what you mean. I was nervous to make clothing at first because fit is something I never had to consider when sewing household items. It sounds like you’ve made so many cool things already, and it’s good to remember that you’d be using the same skills while making garments! I feel like I’ve lucked out with fit primarily because I’ve chosen to make relaxed, adjustable, flowy, stretchy, or oversized garments. I haven’t really tackled any super tailored projects, but definitely will once I become more confident! I feel like in terms of taking your measurements and following a pattern, you’ll find it’s pretty much the same process you’ve already been doing, just with different shapes! I hope you do end up making some clothes for yourself. It’s so fun and rewarding to be able to wear something you’ve made!

Welcome back to the West Coast! I also moved to New England so my husband could go to grad school and we got stuck out there for 7 years but eventually made it back home to the Bay Area and I'm so glad. Could you dye the rest of the linen duvet fabric and make another top or shorts set? Thanks for sharing!

@madewithrach 7 месяцев назад

Thank you, it feels so good to be back!! Gosh, 7 years?! Even with all the things (and people) we loved about Boston, 2 years so far from family seemed like too long! So glad you made it back! Such a good idea about the linen!! I often forget I can dye things! 😂 I’ll probably do that!

@angiem215 7 месяцев назад

I love your videos and the fabrics you use! Would you mind sharing where you used to buy them in the Boston area? Thanks so much!

@madewithrach 7 месяцев назад

Thank you! Other than the couple of Joann’s in the area, I really liked Fabric Place Basement in Natick, and Gather Here in Cambridge. I always got my hardware for bags at gather here, and I’m even considering still ordering from them for future projects! I also found so much good stuff at Sewfisticated in Cabridge. It’s a discount fabric store right by the Star Market, and they always have a table full of linen blends for like $4 per yard. It’s amazing!

Your site popped up on my feed.... I used to use The Billy shelf thing with the glass doors from Ikea. I spotted it prob 20yrs ago in the AsIs room and quickly loaded into my vehicle. Nothing beats the AsIs room sometimes... Never mind the discount but already built... It's the perfect fabric storage.... Visual stash and enclosed. I moved it from one place to another about 6 times... I'd still be using it, if it didn't get smashed in its last move. Booohoo. IKEA.... Not the sturdiest but functional.

@madewithrach 7 месяцев назад

Oh I used to have a Billy shelf! I think we sold it in our first cross-country move. Adding glass doors is a great idea!

@upcycledcopycat8389 7 месяцев назад

You should check out "Love Notions" kids Cartwheel Collection. It's got a great circle twirly skirt that I've made a few times for my g'daughter. I've made it out of 3 layers of different lengths of toile mesh (if you have a serger overlocker the rolled hem works well on the mesh. In different colors on the different lengths. And I've also made a couple out of 4 way stretch. One of the mesh toile had the yoga pants attached in case it was scratchy. Just eliminate the bow on the back. It's a great skirt. And that open back tskirt is really cute.

@madewithrach 7 месяцев назад

I did make it!! It’s actually made with the old linen duvet cover I mentioned in this video, and I used the same pattern I used to make my plaid shirt! I made the cover buttons too, and it was so worth it. I feel like cover buttons make it more versatile, and I can wear it more dressy if I want! I considered tortoise shell buttons too, but thought that might make it better for just casual styling. I did film myself making it too, I just haven’t gotten around to editing the video! 🙈 I will for sure be posting it at some point soon though!
