Sounds of Sewing : 1950's Brown Coat
Happy Coatmas! There will (hopefully) be three other videos about coats this month, but this is the one I finished editing first.
It's also the strangest, at least in terms of format. This video doesn't have a voice over, subtitles, or music. Just the original audio from each clip.
I've had this idea for a long time - basically ever since I got my first comment about how pleasing the sounds of cutting fabric are. I figured, why don't I make a video that is ONLY the sounds of scissors? And then it turned into this!
This seemed like the right time to it, since it makes this month a little easier on me (I have at least 4 other voice overs to write, film, and edit). And adds some variety to the coatmas content.
Not everyone is going to love this, but maybe a few people might?

I loved this video. Please make another “sounds of sewing” video soon!! The coat looks great. I’m inspired. Thank you :)
It's always a pleasure watching you work, Angela. Thank you. Vlogs are superior in that you narrate.....Nonetheless, it's ALL good to me !
Thanks Angela, always great when you try out new content or formats. I have to agree that the sounds are indeed quite calming and do have an ASMR vide indeed. Although I find your voice very calming as well, I always thought you could be good at doing ASMR. You have a radio voice, if that’s a thing. But with a television face 😜. Back to the content; the coat came out great, love the material and yellow lining. Good luck with the rest of Coatmas and have a merry Christmas.
Nice job, I love this coat! Now I want to make me one. I do miss your voice explaining as you go along, but the sound of the scissors is soothing. 😀
This video put me to sleep (it wasn't bad, it was just relaxing) and I totally dropped my phone as I nodded off. I enjoyed hearing you as you work tough your sewing room seems almost eerily quiet in this video. Great job on the coat, the downside to this video style is I didn't get the typical information about the pattern and historical info
Ooh love the cronch at the end
I can't believe none of the sounds include you talking to yourself while you sew. ;-) Mine would include a fair few swear words.
I liked it, but I also like your voiceover, maybe sometimes you can make some videos like this, but dont abandon your previous style.
Lovely idea, but what sets your videos apart is your commentary.
It’s almost like sewing ASMR 🤣
Thoroughly enjoyable! Relaxing even though I'm watching your technique closely as I'm a new sewer. The tempo is great, allowing newbies to see how an experienced sewer works. Would definitely love to see more of these!
I really like this, ASMR indeed!
How do you not talk to yourself when sewing!? no way i could stay silent, even if it is just to read aloud the instructions over and over of course there is the swearing, I can't sew without swearing, muttering to myself and the head scratching. Of course Angela is more ladylike than me!
Really fun video. It was nice to just watch (and listen to) the process. I think my favorite sound was making the button holes.
I absolutely loved this! It was so calming and soothing for my soul. I think it's a great idea and adds great variety to your media. I'd love to see another one like this. And the coat is beautiful, so long and a neutral tone that wont take from the garment it's covering. Can't wait to see what comes next
Love the coat! Miss your soothing voice explaining what you're doing, although it was pretty straight-forward, and not really necessary. I don't know how you manage to look so elegant in everything you make. Must be youth!
I enjoyed this near-ASMR style, but I really miss hearing what you're doing, too. I didn't realise how much I depend on you explaining what you're doing to understand XD
I think you should do videos like these and call them "The Quiet Creator"! My favorite sounds are when you cut through the yellow cloth--I never knew fabric could be slit lengthwise with scissors, like wrapping paper! And the sound of thread moving in and out of the fabric as you sew is also my favorite. I have questions though: How did you get such quiet footage without dogs barking and your neighbors NOT mowing the yard like they seem to do EVERY.DAY because you've commented before on them making so much noise when you told them you would be filming. Lastly, what is that gorgeous shimmery nail color you're wearing at the beginning of the video? It looks like a yummy dark chocolate brown on my monitor, but maybe it's black? It is beautiful and I want a bottle!
YES quiet creator! Great title
As much as I enjoy the videos with your voiceovers, I really enjoyed this video. The sounds were almost cathartic to listen to. In addition, the coat is amazing, and, though historic, still relevant today.
I adored this video! Echoing what’s been said above, as much as I missed your running commentary, this was a lovely change and something I’d love to see more of! And honestly, I’m so happy you did something that eases your workload over the festive season, it pains me to see my favourite creators working their fingers to the bone during this time of year. Take some time to enjoy yourself too ☺️
I really loved this! How you could keep quiet for so long is beyond me, I wouldn't have been able to control myself, I would be talking to myself or humming some tune. Wonderful as always and such a lovely coat!
It kind of had a bit of an ASMR vibe. I came in skeptical but gotta say I enjoyed that thoroughly !
I loved this but I did miss you talking. I didn't realize you were so quiet when you are sewing. I wish I could have some thoughts from you but I do love the idea of original audio only.
I'm usually not! I almost always have music on (which I sing along to, badly) or netflix or something. I ended up wearing headphones through constructing it :)
This was oddly fascinating! While I love your voiceovers, this was very soothing but at the same time made me pay much more attention to what is going on as I couldn't rely on you describing individual steps.
I always love your commentary in the voiceover but I found this extremely entrancing! I would love more videos like this in the future, especially if it makes the process easier for you during high-stress times.
My feeling precisely. I really enjoy the commentary (and often learn from it), but this makes for an very interesting contrast. Nice!
Oh my god it's sewing ASMR. I didn't know I needed this but apparently I did, thank you
It's really satisfying to watch, and quite calming. I do miss your little explanations and thoughts concerning the pattern and construction process, maybe subtitles or comments once in a while or a debriefing at the end would be nice? I really appreciate how you try out new ideas, and, as always, it's wonderful to see another creation of yours!
I think I might do a patreon exclusive version with commentary! Not as detailed as usual, just little construction notes :)
You know, I enjoyed that more than I thought I would. It was really relaxing 😺
