The Blogger Series: Sew Incidentally

Sunday, July 15

I was really touched by all the lovely comments you sent my way yesterday about my hatmaking attempts. Hopefully I go on to make nicer things. I am hoping when I get more confident about my millinery abilities (non-existent at the moment), I could do a couple of tutorials for you, so you could make your own little pieces at home. Would you want that?

Today's guest on the Blogger Series is Claire, from Sew,Incidentally.

What can I say about Claire? Phew!!. Those of you who have met her, would know about her organisational skills, and her selfless nature. She's always willing to help people ( thanks for the chocolate bar when I was preggers Claire) and is quite generous at swaps ( I have an impressive jersey stash thanks to her). Her IT skills are good too, as she turned the Sorbetto sleeve pattern Mena of Sew Weekly fame used for her Sorbetto challenge into a PDF, and also helped So Zo, with digitising her free vest/camisole,singlet pattern.



Claire and I had so much fun filming this video, and editing it was so hard because I wanted to put everything she said on the final video. I don't know how long you would like the videos to be. This series is still new, so I am not sure what the perfect duration would be. What do you think? The first one I did was less than 2 minutes, the second was about 4minutes. This one has gone just over 5 minutes. I think 5 minutes should be the maximum so they are standardised. What is your take on it?

Video duration issues aside, I could not stop looking at the video. Claire is so expressive when she talks, and she made me laugh throughout. There is a bit at the end where you here a cackling sound....that was me laughing. Sorry guys. My laughter is not the most appealing.

Good, so with that little matter of my hyena-like laughter out of the way, here is Sew, Incidentally.

PS: Don't you just hate how pretty she looks on camera? eesshh!!

  7. I really like your video interviews. I actually follow blogs of each of the ladies that you've interviewed so far. I actually feel that I sort of already know Claire, but it was interesting and nice to hear voice. I think you are doing a great job. I had it turned all the way up, but it was little hard to hear.
