      Heheh yeah, I'd have to say Rachel and Ariel (of Hazariel Designs) are perhaps the costubers who I feel are most "approachable" in terms of coming up with truly crazy ideas and having relatable mishaps along the way? 😋 Although Morgan Donner's "shenanigan pants" are still one of my v fave designs in terms of madcap creativity & general coolness!

    If you are ever in the mood to torture yourself with that fabric again, a small tip. A heated craftknife - aka a woodburner with an exacto blade tip does wonders for cutting it out and sealing your cut lines in one move by fusing that edge. I usually work over sacrificial cardboard with it because it will melt my cutting mat, occasionally I'll do a silicone mat but those can be cut by the blade itself and I don't like damaging them in that way. I do keep a silicone mat nearby so I can set the tool down safely while it's hot.

    • @Amelia-pp4wm
      @Amelia-pp4wm 2 місяці тому +3

      That does sound safer than my approach, which is to light a candle and then slowly pass the cut edge through the heat column to melt the cut edges so they fuse. It's not super precise, but it does feel satisfying 😅

    It’s giving flash backs to sexy Gandalf 😂🤣

    I'm not trying to be an "Um Actually" here, just offering a pointer ...
    When you're doing the 'pen on a string' circle thing, the string needs to be as close to the tip of the pen as possible. Having it on the "butt" end means it wobbles and the line is squiggly :-)

    I think the bodice needs to be gathered more at the top and bottom, thats why it's so weirdly balloony. That and then ironed in place would keep that volume less unruley

      This dress feels like the 'dressy' version (pun intended) of his blue robe in "Sword in the Stone"! 😆 As another commenter suggested, it's very "Merlin does Pride", and I love that gorgeous iridescent fabric (albeit nowhere near skin, yikes! Scratchy!!)

    This kind of content is actually the most valuable- it’s unique, creative, and you’re putting real effort into your craft, which makes it enjoyable to watch. Most content I see now is either reactions to other content, purely sales, or little to no effort. Your channel is great!

    I was so goofily excited to see the title of this video! I'm getting back into art myself, and I've noticed that I feel more inspired and encouraged to finish the "silly," comedic pieces versus the more "serious" or significant ones. It's encouraging to see projects that are just fun.
