I’ve decided to put some of my high school television production skills to good use and post some FREE video tutorials for beginning sewists. If you are interested in subscribing to my YouTube channel just check me out here.
Here are a few videos I have posted so far. I hope you enjoy it! Please stay tuned for many, MANY more!

Great tutorial for setting up your threads. I previously found it very complicated – I prefer to see by demnostration than to read a wordy manual.
Thanks for this

Vanessa,
Your tutorials are right on! I haven’t sewn for almost 20 years and when I did it was just little crafty things. I am now in the process of making a pillowcase dress for my neice with a Halloween theme and your tutorials have helped me more than any tutorial I have find online, period! I didn’t know anything about bias tape or how to use it and the french seams until I found you! You are very detailed at explaining the instructions that it’s almost impossible to mess up. THANK YOU for what you do! You are a VERY TALLENTED person!!
I have saved you Crafty Gemini site and the You Tube sites for furture reference.
Sincerely,
Angela

I’m taking a beginner’s sewing class, and she failed to go over cutting basics. So I find myself going to class and then coming home to watch your videos. I’m so glad they are out there.

Wow fantastic. I’ve been trying to learn to sew for years, people are either too slow (and I get bored or frustrated) or don’t give the information I need. Your videos are quick and give me everything I need to know! Thank you!!

Vanessa, Thank you so much for your amazing Videos. I just found you from the 20/20 show. I live in a small town. Our fabric store holds classes not beginner classes. Which upsets me so much seeing that I am a total beginner. Thank you Thank you Thank you. Your tutorials are amazing. You make it so easy to learn.

I am a beginner, can someone tell me why in the world does the tread gets caught up in chunks underneath the fabric when I’m trying to make just a simple stich? Is it my fault or the machines’ fault. Please advise.
