I am loving this capsule wardrobe plan! Love that you found some patterns that you don’t have to super draft!

Love the pleated skirt!

Thanks for this,loved the video.

Love the humour, glad the algorithm recommended this, hope your channel keeps going.

Your pusscat is hilarious 😂😂 I love her so much ❤

Your little bee is so cute! For satin stitch that looks denser (and also more 3D if you ever want that effect) you also have the option to lay some stitches perpendicularly first to create a thin layer of thread to lay the final ones over. Although honestly yours looked great as is. Also I'm looking forward to that embroidered yoke 👀

People can be weird about their fibre stash. My sister has a huge stash of beautiful yarn but hasn't knit in 15 years. When I asked if I could have a sweater's worth of yarn she said "sure" and handed me a bag of ugly acrylic blend. 😂

It looks wonderful. I’ve dabbled with embroidery. The little kits are fun without overwhelming. It’s a perfect decoration!

I am a very basic embroiderer (a multi crafter and master of none) and my 7 year old embroidered a very basic thing for their Dad this Father’s Day. I let them try anything they want and give them my scraps to mess with much to my mother’s annoyance. My child is the wrong gender, according to her, for sewing and crafting. Never mind that tailors are usually male and fishermen often knitted warm jumpers when the weather was not suitable to go out to sea. Crafting, making, baking, sewing on a button etc should be fun and are life skills all people need. I love your bee 🐝

They might have had a big cabinet or tapistry over the bare spot. So they might not have bothered to finish it. Since it was the 80s likely an entertainment center. I always hated the big stero speakers. The sound just goes into every room even with the door closed.

I'm not sure how the fake wall treatments look in person but they look fine on the screen. I imagine replacing everything would be quite expensive and labor intensive. I think wood slats go in and out of style. One owner paints over them and the next thinks they're crazy and wants the wood grain back.

I don't think simple embroidery stitches are that hard. I wouldn't allow a small child unsupervised around needles and adult scissors though. It's a lot easier that everything is on UA-cam now. I wouldn't want to try and figure it out from a diagram.

That is bee-autiful. 🐝Kittens really do think they are helping. I have an Nightmare Before Christmas embroidery kit that I picked up last year. This has inspiired me to see what I can do with it. I hope you have a cool spot to hang for the upcoming heatwave. Thanks for sharing your creative adventures. They are so much fun. Take care.

Turned out really good, embroidery is a patient and practice rabbit hole, but it's calming too. Well it's calming if it's going well but i put mine down because mistakes and it's been sat for many years. 😅 must fix, ❤

I have four or five larger floss organizers where my flosses (Mostly DMC) are sorted by number. Then I've got a smaller organizer box that holds the flosses for the project I'm working on plus a pair of scissors and a highlighter marker and maybe the chart for the project. The flosses in the smaller organizer are also arranged by number so it's easy for me to find the next floss I need. If my project is small enough, it is also in the floss organizer box. Sadly I've not touched that craft for several years. Maybe one day I will get back to it - the idea of ornamenting my clothing hadn't really occurred to me and I think it'd be fun to do to boring shirts and things.

How nice of you to get kitty a new toy!

That's a good bee! I call it "pro-craftinating" - needing to learn an entirely new technique before I can actually get back to the thing that needs to actually be done!

pretty sure your mom put embroidery on a pedestal that seemed impossible to master/be good at and she would have told anyone embroidery will be too hard for them to learn lol my mom is the same with some stuff. gets too scared or overwhelmed by something and then tries to stop me from doing it. if I go and do it anyways, she will be so silent because she doesn't believe what she is seeing lol

12:07 Hahahahahaha omg there is shed cat hair EVERYWHERE.

Green linen project: absolutely.

Pick your own goal. Yeah, so appreciate the reminder. Good on you for being courageous and giving this a go. I have utterly wholesome habits too! 😊

“Excuse me young lady” has the same vibe as me going “Sir!” At my dogs 😂 i feel it in my pet mom soul I love this a lot tbh, tiny critters are my favorite genre of embroidery.

Sounds like maybe your mom didn’t like embroidery lol.

I did a lot of cross stitch when i was younger and had to travel for work. I would rather spend the evenings in my hotel room stitching then hang out in a bar in a strange town. I did a lot of petit point because iit was small enough to go in my purse or briefcase. I tried embroidery and did make a blouse but it really wasn't my thing. I like rhythmic things, so cross stitch worked better for me. Your bee is cute and very well done, i look forward to the shirt.

It came out looking great! You need to sign the back. 😊

You did fantastic for a beginner! Satin stitch is HARD to get right and yours was perfect. Kudos to you!

Like button booped!

Ma’am, I came here to recover from the trauma of having to make up some BS for my first mid-year PA with my new leader. It’s a good thing the cat is cute or I’d have fled from the discussion of SMART goals. 😂

What a cute, snuggly lil menace!

That turned out very nicely and makes a fitting piece of wall art <3 The embroidered waistcoat was amazing. Your project reminded me of all the embroidering I did on clothes n stuff in high school in the 70s (Mass & Maine). Had me smiling the whole time watching. Kitty got her own smiles, too.

"Hello World" pseudo-code completed...ready for the next step.... 😵‍💫. It turned out great!!!

My mom taught me to sew, crochet, and embroidery. I found I wasn’t fond of embroidery but in the 80s I really got into cross stitch. I’ve done other stitches to complete a cross stitch panel but I have avoided embroidery for years. Which is sad because I do love the look of be it.

Granny Weatherwax approves.

zip-lock bags for the win!!!

Adorable! And you've reminded me of an embroidered top my Mom made for wee me. I loved that thing and wore it for years (Mom made it a bit large to allow for growth and I well, didn't, or not much anyway). I watched this right after Bernadette's video and while I appreciate the work done there (stunning), it's more than a bit intimidating. In contrast, your attitude and example reminds me of what I could do, so thanks for the confidence boost.

How cool!

I like to embroider but haven't done it in ages. I enjoy your stories about your mom and her methods. They make me think about my own mom and learning handicrafts. My mother did museum quality embroidery, she was learned from Spanish nuns in the 30s. Seriously, she embroidered a tablecloth in the 3rd grade. Anyway, she taught me the "correct way" to do it. She also taught me to crochet and knit but not to sew. I don't remember when I learned to do them.

Your bee turned out really pretty, now I want to make one! 😊 Beside my own cross stitch floss stash and a stash given to me by a friend I inherited my grandmother's stash. She did collect the whole Anchor colour palette and several DMC colours (multiple skeins of each). And believe it or not I still had to buy some additional colours for a project 😂. Btw I never wind my skeins, if the thread is pulled out gently the skein will keep intact until the end

A very good bee and a very good start into embroidery! Trust me, embroidering your clothes is addicting and very fun (you can also cross stitch on them using waste canvas which is double the fun!)

Nice work! Your cat going into attack mode on the canvas was hilarious. Good thing you got it all finished and hung up where she can't try to eat it.

You’re bee is so cute🥰 Embroidery is something I want to do more of myself.

I like the idea of embroidery on my clothes but I don't think I could choose something I'd like for years. I have shirts that are 10+ years old and they are pretty plain so as my style has changed they've survived many closet clean outs. I have doubt I'd choose something that I'd like for that long. Maybe if I go the closet hostess route and make it a broach so I can take it off if I'm not feeling it. 😊

You explained SMART goals way better than any meeting I was in for the 4 years I worked in an office 😮‍💨. Your little bee is so cute! I haven't done embroidery since high school (other than some visible mending type things). Maybe I'll find a little kit I like 😄. One reason that you used more thread than you expected is that you were doing top-to-bottom the whole way (essentially making it double sided), if you don't what that: do *top-to-bottom, over a thread, bottom-to-top, over a thread, repeat from *. Also, play around with how many threads you use at once. I've found that doing 1 or 2 for a quick outline and then going back in with 3+ helpful. 💜

I recently decided to make a punk aesthetic bag based on a character from a D&D show that I watch, this requires learning embroidery. While I don't have much faith in my potential skill for embroidery the final product is likely to be very forgiving. I am terrified.

This came up directly after Bernardette's video about the embroidered waistcoat. Perfect for people whose appetite for embroidery has been whetted! I love your bee.🐝

So I found at an op shop (thrift store) a gorgeous 1980’s wool coat with intense arm poof and the most gorgeous embroidery and filigree things. It was pure wool. It was a really interesting green/yellow (I cannot describe the colour) and the embroidery was black. It looked like a perfect 1890’s riding jacket. It was 3/4 sleeve (turns out it was from a small designer brand and would have cost a mint med) It fit me perfectly, esp with a corset and a bit of poof for the chest. I found it about 3 days before my 29th birthday. I very stupidly decided the day or so before to make a quick full length black walking skirt and petticoat. Petticoat was bright purple fabric I got on clearance and the skirt was black calico (they had absolutely nothing in the right weight) and I panic sewed it. I was literally working pretty much up til an hour before the party (made my cake and food inbetween sewing) I had to pin myself into the dress because I literally didn’t have time for closures. I was like hey, good enough for the time period it’s good enough for me. I had such a wonderful reaction to the outfit and my friend thought I had tailored the jacket. I’m having to resew the skirt because my darling cat (without me noticing) clawed the top part of the skirt and it must have just caught his claws. Of course it had to be on the front and super visible. I promised myself I would never panic sew to such a crazy deadline again. I will probably break this promise but that’s on me heh.

Ah yes. The obligatory pettings of the cat before you are finally are aloud to stitch.

im impressed at how much floss you have from your mom. im not a cross sticher but i am happiest with a needle and thread (of any sort). as i have mentioned in the past, i think, that i am a student at AUarts (alberta university of the arts) in the craft and emerging arts as a fiber major. so fuzzy and threadish things are MY thing.

I learned to embroider in an art class when I was 8 - at school. My mum didn't embroider (she occasionally knitted and I learned the basics from her, but I thought it was boring (go figure - I picked it back up when I was 40) and we were too far from any other relative. I learned stem stitch, chain stitch, french knots, satin stitch and some others in that class. I still (50 years laater) have skeins left over from then (I now mainly do tapestry work and cross stich.)

This makes me want to take a look for one of those kits! A pair of my work pants has a hole from my keys and I'm thinking a flower or two would be nice to cover it up, but I want some practice first.
