I'm glad you liked it so much! I definitely agree less labor intensive projects or smaller ones would be more profitable Kujo was pulling out all the stops. He's really trying to make it into Hollywood 😺

Thank you! Rolling the skeins into balls makes it so I can deal with all the knots and tangles first, then when I'm crocheting (or knitting) I don't have to worry about running into knots and having them ruin my work or be frustrating to deal with. One of the brown yarns was extremely difficult to unravel from the skein and knotted really horribly, so I'm really glad I wound it into a ball first. There's a point in the video where I showed the cream yarn all spread out because it didn't unravel properly once I got to the center. A few of the yarns were fine, but most of them had some sort of knots or tangles that would've disrupted my work, and it's a lot easier to feed a ball of yarn through a knot than a whole entire blanket.

@StudioCE I get it! "Yarn barf" is very frustrating! You did an amazing job on this blanket!

Yarn barf is the perfect way to describe it 😂

You're welcome! Crocheting is a hobby you can come back to 10, 20 years later, so don't worry about being rusty at all

Wow that's a big blanket! That's twice the size of mine (it finished 7ftx7ft) that must've taken a very long time to crochet Great tip for keeping the 🧶 fluffy too

​@@StudioCE It did take awhile. It was lots of fun though. I hope you decide to make more items.🎉 As far as pricing and selling projects, most people keep it small for selling. Like things you could make in an hour or so. Hats, scarves, cute squishy toys that kind of thing. As far as crochet goes, ask me any questions you have. I would like to start a dialogue with you. Maybe share info. I have a skirt that I'm trying to fix for my daughter so she could wear it and I can't sew to save my life. Maybe you could give me some ideas about how to fix that.😊 Anyway I hope to hear from you. Sorry this is so late. I was prepping for Hurricanes,and hunkering down. Just got power back. And yes I'm one of the old (56) ladies in Florida on a fixed income. That had me laughing so hard.

I'm definitely going to crochet more stuff. I have the granny square bug! You can email me at studiocestreams@gmail.com if you want me to look at the skirt. Send pictures of the skirt, I'd love to help if I can I totally get prepping for the hurricanes. The guys working on our house had to rush down to the Carolinas because there's so much damage. I don't mind waiting a little longer for our house to be fixed, because at least we still have a roof. I hope you and everyone who dealt with the hurricanes comes out well

Thank you!

Aw thanks! You're amazing too!

Thank you. I tried something out of my comfort zone with this and it really paid off

No I used woven material that doesn't have any stretch to it. I would recommend using a fabric that matches the stretch of the pants you're altering. But you could add elastic along the bottom of you want the bottom to have some stretch to it

Me too! I used to wear it all the time before COVID ruined going out

It's the Dritz My Double Deluxe Petite dress form that I bought from Joann over 10 years ago. I had to pad it out about a year ago to fit again, and used a ton of Poly Fill to do it

P.s. adorable top!

I'm glad you're enjoying them so much 😊

Lots and lots of practice 😆 I've been sewing my whole life and try to learn new techniques when I can. I read a lot of sewing books, blogs, and watch UA-cam videos for info and inspo I'm entirely self-taught, and like to learn about different techniques for making clothes fit better. I have always had a very hard time finding ready-to-wear that fits well, and have the same issues with commercial patterns too. I do a lot of clothes cloning with pieces that fit well, but I think it's easiest to draft patterns on a dress form, alternations too I just feel better wearing tailored, stylish clothes, so I make learning how to achieve that a priority for myself

@@StudioCE thank you for answering. Is there a UA-cam channel that has helped the most?

You're welcome. I love exchanging sewing and crafting knowledge! I watch a lot of sewing content I like to watch Bernadette Banner for learning historical sewing techniques, but the Closet Historian, Sewstine, and Morgan Donner all have very good techniques too. I like Well-Loved and Carly B for fun upcycling inspo, and Jenna Phipps for crochet (back when she did crochet). The Stitchery is a wealth of knowledge and I love her deep-dives into understanding fabric and techniques. Engineering knits is a great channel for knitting too. I sometimes watch Rachel Macksey for inspo. And I really like watching Mia Maples who sometimes does sewing content but also breaks down the quality of ready-to-wear brands As far as blogs go, I like Buried Diamond for sewing, Jo's Country Junction and Bonnie Hunter for quilting, and Pintangle for crazy quilting. Susan Carlson makes absolute works of art too. Sewing For A Living did a great tutorial on drafting pants patterns that I followed and almost made wearable pants with

Oh?! Never would've thought of that. I'll have to try that next time

Ah thank you! I just want everyone to have the skills they need to make awesome clothes

@@StudioCE of course! Well you more than achieved that goal, I would say!

I'm glad! I really try to make my tutorials make sense

Ah thanks! It really paid off for me to be able to draft patterns that fit again

😊

Thank you! I like the style options this shirt gives me. I bsolutely loved wearing it over a black maxi dress this weekend, wish I would've done that for the video Lol I was probably 20 when I bought the buttons. But when I was 20, some people thought I was 11 😂

You're welcome! I hope your bolero comes out great and will be beautiful for your wedding day!

That's awesome! Hope you get to enjoy wearing it

You are so very welcome! Glad you appreciate it

Haha thanks! My confidence comes from learning how to roll with and fix mistakes. If you're not afraid to screw up, you'll be confident going into anything

Glad you liked it! I'll have to make more like this

Thank you for the feedback. I'll take it into consideration in the future Good luck with joining your patchwork!

Oh thank you. Kujo is the cutest!

Aw thanks

Awesome! I hope you can make clothes you feel wonderful wearing

Thank you, thank you ☺️☺️☺️

Than you! This was a fun one to model because the dress/shirt is fun to wear

Thanks. I love that! I had no idea

Thank you! Oh that makes sense! I've only ever heard it called a yoke on the back, so that makes total sense for it to be a front yoke too

Aw thank you. I'm originally from Seattle

@@StudioCE your country name pls I'm from Malaysia

It's in the Pacific Northwest of The United States of America. It's really rainy there

@@StudioCE Malaysia also rainy & always summer sunny day no cold here, 🌻 come to visit Malaysia its a nice country

Thank you bunch! 😊

😊

It's never too late to get back into sewing, and making clothing for puppets sounds really cute The only menswear I've made was a pair of shorts for my husband. They looked okay, like something you would buy off the rack at Walmart. They aren't the most comfortable, but he's worn them a few times and really likes that I made them for him

I understand what you are saying, and don't take this as anything other than kindness. Unfortunately I have health problems and injuries that become aggravated when I use tables for projects (either sitting or standing). I have found the floor to be the most comfortable place to work, but I have seen the effects it can have on your back myself as well. I try to limit my back pain with good posture, stretching, and low-impact exercises But I've found the best way to limit back pain while working on the floor is to bend at the hips rather than the waist and to keep your back straight, like when you do yoga and Pilates. This helps protect your spine from long-term damage and releases tension that builds up in your hips when sitting for long periods. Coupling this with taking breaks to stretch reduces the most amount of pain for me Alas, I have yet to figure out a way to reduce neck and shoulder pain while ironing 😮‍💨 I haven't talked a

Yes. This can be done to the inner or outer thigh, or both. The only time you might have a problem with either is if you run into a felled or flat felled seam.

​@@StudioCEthank you for your response ❤

Aw, thank you ☺️

​@@StudioCE hi gorgeous❤❤❤

Thanks! I think wearing it with the swimsuit coverup underneath is my favorite aesthetic of the different ways I styled it. I love layers!

Thanks

You're welcome! Sewing doesn't need to be complicated, and simpler is easier to understand

You're welcome! It's the worst with short skirts when you're trying to sit down 😆

Yes, but with altering the hem instead of the waist. I saw this question last night, but had to think it over before answering because my brain was too tired 😆 Let's say your desired front length is 18" and your back length is 19" Find the center front of your 1/4 circle (the fold line if you fold it in half) and mark that with your front length (18"). Then mark the seam line (edges) with your back length (19"). It would be helpful to mark the quarter points too (18.5") to help guide you in redrawing the curve for the hemline. This will essentially flatten the hemline curve (Or if you want a full stomach adjustment, this would curve it even more)

@@StudioCE Thank you for taking the time to respond! I was trying to figure it out in my head too but was struggling as well, haha. But yes you nailed it. I need to make an adjustment for a skirt so it sits below a full belly but then comes up to cover the booty fully… ends up being a 4” difference between front and back

You're welcome! I'm glad it was easy to understand

Yes! You can draft the pattern the way you want it to end up, then overlay the waistbands, and trim the hem to fit your new hem. As long as your existing skirt is longer all the way around, that is totally possible When you're drafting the new pattern, you can probably get away with tracing the existing skirt's waistband to save yourself calculating it out

I totally agree! It's better not to cut corners (literally and figuratively) when sewing. If it won't wear well, it's not worth putting your effort in to make a garment

@@StudioCE I loved your dress in the end. That purple stripe fabric is so cute.💜 Keep up the uploads, your personality is super easy to watch

Absolutely! I've been planning to make a crochet video sometime this year

@@StudioCE cannot wait to watch them. Thank you ❤️

Thank you. It's soooo comfy!
