  • Here's a diary of everything I made for my spring collection! I wanted this to be nice and relaxing with some ASMR too :) Almost all the materials were secondhand so I'm so happy I get to give these materials more life whether thats through knitting, crocheting, or sewing. I hope you enjoy and maybe get some inspo from these projects!
    // Thank you so much for watching

    If you don't know me, I'm a recent grad in her 20 somethings trying to figure out what to do with my life. I recently moved to Durham, North Carolina and I'm excited to explore the area! I run a small clothing brand called minigru studios where you can find my hand made knit and crochet items. I don't use patterns but I can try to teach you my techniques and processes :) I am always open to suggestions so feel free to reach out!

    that golden shell stitch top is EVERYTHING!! I've been obsessing about it since I first saw this video and keep coming back to it! but I was at a local yarn store and I think its the Cuzco brand baby alpaca blend (with cotton and wool) because I saw a yellow just like it!! This video was SOO inspiring!!

      The golden yarn is too good I'm holding on to the rest of it until I have the perfect project! :) its actually pingoiun yarn but I can't find it anywhere else so I will definitely have to check out the cuzco yarn because I do really like the color of it! thanks for watching!

      I'll try to show in a future video!! :) It was very simple though I just cut a rectangle out that fit around my body + a few inches then sewed a casing for the elastic on the top hem. & then you can also add a lining which is pretty much the same process and I used french seams for that! Then sew the lining and lace together and feed the elastic through the top casing! hope this helps! :)

      I totally know what you mean!! Just start with small projects that use different techniques and watch a loooooot of videos! you'll start to pick up on the lingo that people use to understand more about garment construction! I also keep a little sewing journal where I write down the techniques that I've learned & the machine settings etc so I don't have to go back and find videos all the time!!! I hope this helps! I still am constantly learning and also constantly frustrated haha I find that taking breaks from it is helpful in the long run. thanks for watching
