@@Leeam It's beautiful (it should also have a thimble - but they're small enough that they commonly go missing.) I have my Grandmother's sewing "kit"(with thimble).
I’m so glad you liked it! ☺️☺️☺️ I cannot wait to see it with your yellow dress! Also I almost got you an ornament from Disneyland so I’m glad I didn’t in the end or it might’ve been a duplicate 😂 your tree is gorgeous! Thank you again for organizing this, it was so so wonderful ❤️🎄
Cat's Costumery I don’t know if I ever thanked you for these beautiful gifts, but in case I haven’t do so already a million times: THANK YOU! It is so precious. And yes, there might have been a big chance of a duplicate ornament 😂 we already have so many😂
That bag turned out so beautifully, you're so lucky to have it! And that mini sewing kit is perfect! I can't wait to see what you organised for your gift! Thank you again for organising everything, it's been amazing (and still is being amazing!) I really hope we can do it again next year!
This has been a fun exchange to watch, even as someone who didn’t know that “Costube” was a thing until one of the videos came up in my feed. The gift exchange really seems to have fulfilled the goal of bringing the Costube community together. What a great idea!
watching these unboxing and enjoying them. since they all use scissors to open boxes I can only conclude these are their "other" scissors, not fabric ones. I have faith in these costubers.
Thank you for organizing this exchange. It has been so wonderful to see all the boxing/unboxing videos and exposed us to so many lesser known, yet no less talented, creators across the CosTuber community. This has probably been the largest and most genuinely community-building “collaboration” I have seen on this platform. It has been a real treat!
You mentioned "Happy Creating". 2019 saw me trying to build a home business...that totally consumed me. It has been only in the past 3 months of this year that I returned to my knitting, crocheting and sewing. THAT is when I realized I >need< to do something creative or my mind and then my spirit gets...yucky! lol I celebrate Chanukah which is a time of rededication. One night, as I lit the candles, I realized that I needed to rededicate myself to my creativity...which is something I believe God puts in all of us. It's just expressed in an infinite number of ways from person to person. So!...2020 will be the year I make a concerted effort to continue in my creativity. I pray God to bless you and yours, Nikki, with that exciting creative spirit and to bless you in all the ways you need as well as in the things you wish.
Thank you for starting this gift exchange! You've brought so many new or unknown CosTubers to light. And I know that all of this has inspired me to start sewing more! I'm not nearly at a level to mach all of you (and I certainly don't know a thing about original practice), but I definitely foresee some more sewing in 2020! Thank you again for being such a blessing to this community and sharing all of these wonderful CosTubers and makers with the world! ❤❤❤
Serenova Crafts aaaw thank you so much for these kind words! All I can say is, just keep sewing, just keep sewing 🐠 and with every project you will learn new things, and acquire new skills❤️
Nikki, thank you for initiating the Costube Secret Santa! I had stumbled upon Bernadette Banner and through watching her videos, came to this wonderful world of costuming across the ages! I have enjoyed every one of the videos and the creativity and thought behind each Secret Santa gift and reveal.
Your tree is so cute with the Disney ornaments in it! I'm going to rewatch your video later, but wanted to thank you again for organising this and say I love the presents you received. It looks like so much work and care was put into it! And I can't wait to see your gifting-video ^_^
Juul Thijssen Maybe you should behold and worship my tree in the near future, before it makes its departure, nudg nudg wink wink! Thank you so much for participating, it was a absolute hoot❤️
Thank you for organizing this exchange between the Costubers. I just discovered this amazing world at the beginning of 2019 and have enjoyed getting to "know" many of the creative people. Seeing what all of you have given and received has been a joy. I'm so looking forward to watching all of the new-to-me costumers/sewers that are on the list as I have now subscribed to them all. Such a kind, caring, and supportive community uplifts itself as well as inspires all of us that have the privelege to share in the videos from the sidelines. The gifts that you received are beautiful and I hope that you had a Merry Christmas and have a wonderful 2020. Look forward to joining you in your journey.
Is there going to be a 2020 CosTube Secret Santa?!? I recently came across these videos! It’s amazing to see all of the thoughtful creativity from all of you!!! 💜
Love watching all the Secret Santa videos. Both the packing and unboxing have been tantalizing and Happy to witness. Thank you for organizing such an awesome endeavor. ♥️
I was missing posts from most of you and knew you were busy at this time of year and waited patiently for your next videos. This idea and all these videos were a great surprise! I loved watching each of them and also learning about other costume designers and seamstresses. You all gave and got great gifts and all of us got equally the same getting to watch your videos of so much kindness and thoughts that went into the gifts and videos. Thank you so much for being a part of this gift exchange. I will share this same comment on each video involved in this costube.
Thank you for organizing this. I am not a youtuber but I watch UA-cam videos of others sewing so that I might learn how to sew as awesome as you gals do. I have found many new talented people through this Santa scheme of yours and I am so grateful! Therefore, thank you again and I look forward to seeing what you have for the new year! Happy holidays 🤗
Aaaaw! This seems like such a bull’s eye of a gift! Gorgeous tree, adorable disney gifts and a wonderful handwork on that reticule :) I can’t wait to see you wear it! Thanks again, for providing this opportunity for us all! ❤️
Wonderful video! Thank you for organizing this, it actually added something very special to my Christmas this year watching all the Costuber’s community enjoy sharing the talents and their gifts 🎁.
The reticule that Cat made is soooo beautiful! And I love your Disney tree! Thank you so much Nikki for setting up the costube secret Santa, it has been so much fun to watch everyone's gifting/unboxing videos and discover new channels! Wishing you a fantastic rest of 2019 and all the best for 2020! Btw I would love to do it again next year, and perhaps we could have more channels be a part of it!
Omg love your shirt, this was such a cool idea secret Santa. Your tree looks amazing with all the Disney theme. Love the bag looks amazing. I follow another UA-cam and she holds a couple pattern swaps a year. Love it cause you learn about different countries and meeting people...
Yay! I was waiting to see your reaction when you opened the reticule. Cat did such a lovely job. Can't wait for pt. 2. Thank you for organizing this. It's been so much fun to see all of the lovely gifts and finding new channels to watch.
I have a small tree ornamented with key chains I have bought on my travels instead of breakable ornaments or heavy mugs. Not to mention tee shirts that don't fit anymore.
Oh my goodness, you have more Disney on your tree than we do! I didn't know that was possible! I can't wait to see what you wear with the reticle! Thank you again for organizing this wonderful project!!!
This makes me want to start my own Costube channel so I can participate next year! But my specialty hasn't been historical . . . perhaps I should change that!
This experience has been a delight for me as I watched you all have such a sweet sharing. Your kind thought and plan made so many people happy. (I think it is a bit rough on your sweet husband that he did not get to have a gift, too.... :) )
Beetje laat, maar alsnog een vrolijk kerst toegewenst. Dit was echt een leuk idee, nu heb ik heel wat kanalen erbij 🤗 Een gelukkig nieuwjaar toegewenst vanuit Curaçao 🎇
I'm so glad you guys did this, I found a few more costumers to follow and learn from so thank you!!! Next time can you check out Angela Clayton? She's amazing and would love to be apart of this community!
Lee-am that stinks, I know she gets pretty busy around this time of year. She didn’t post for quite a minute this year lol but I completely understand. I was swamped with orders this year too.
That was an amazing idea, and such a joy to watch during the Christmas season! I had already watched the creation process so today I was more impressed by the little sewing kit (she hadn't shown it) - wouldn't have thought these things are so old, makes me want to find one! :D Maybe you could re-arrange the playlist so there's a video of the recipient and then the video of the person making it? That would be lots of fun! (I actually tried to watch the videos in the order of sender-then-recipient, but it was more fun when I watched the unboxing and the person's reaction and then the reasoning of the sender). Anyway, a merry christmas to you, and a happy new year! Thanks for this idea!
ChemioCat thank you! unfortunately that is at this moment not yet possible, since not everyone has received their gift yet, or uploaded a video. And not everyone has filmed a making off video.
Lee-am Even though not everyone included the making of the gift they sent, it would still be lovely to have the playlist form a chain of receivers followed by senders - once all the videos are available, of course.
@@ragnkja As I am sadly packing away my Christmas mood, I saved the videos for next year! Turns out not everyone belongs in the same group, so one list is basically good to go (Kathy Hay is missing at the end, but this is easily rectified). Thought I'd share! Enjoy! (I'll make a second list when all the videos are out)! ua-cam.com/play/PLy46c9F-glL-csPNZ6p2E_MSxpV9vKcS2.html
@@ragnkja Oh I'm not saying it does it on purpose, could be a totally random effect! But this is what ended up happening - if you check the playlist, one leads to another and back to the start - I noticed because I mostly tried to watch the videos in order like I said, and when most of the videos were out I went "wait a minute, there's a lot of people missing". Not sure if everyone else will end up being together or not, we'll see I guess! It doesn't matter anyway, unless you try to make the connection (in this case, the playlist) it's not even observable. And this was a lot of joy to watch, and without getting stuck with a load of new items in our own home! :D :D :D (For me gift-giving is all about seeing the recipient's reaction, particularly when it's such nice people)! Anyway, hope you enjoy the playlist :)
While all of us who participated in Costube Secret Santa would have LOVED for Rachel to have joined us, we cannot force her to do so. We adore Rachel and the work that she does, so hopefully she’ll want to join us in the fun next year. ❤️
Can I add "Angela Clayton" to next year's Secret Santa list? Really enjoyed watching what each person gave and received! Thank you for this fabulous event!

You can hang the Stitch on your Christmas tree as an ornament. I do that with special jewelry and things like that.
