  • Welcome to my Mer-MAY series! This is video 1 of 3! I made Ariel's Purple Victory Gown from Disneys Animated Classic "The Little Mermaid". All through the month of May I will be posting mermaid related content and because I got a little bit of a late start to this series ( I took some time off from content creation) The series might go into June, but I'm embracing the imperfections of my current schedule 😂👍🏽
    Purple glitter fabric was from Joanns, but I have no idea if they still sell it as it was purchased a while ago 🤷🏽‍♀️ the satin lining fabric is a similar story wherein I bought it for a different project and had a bit left over to use for my purple Ariel dress
    Sewing the dress took me about 2 days in total, but I took a break after day one to work on some personal business 😂

    Oh, I bought that fabric. IT WAS THE WORST TO WORK WITH. It kept gumming up my machine. The quality was low for how much it cost me. And the glitter just sheds everywhere... which I kind of expected. I'm glad you had better luck with it. Great Ariel dress.

    Ok I’m freaking excited for this Mer-May content! I really love this , chefs kiss ! I’m so excited for the live action but hesitant to get my hopes up … cause Disney live action films are hit and miss ( cough, looking at you beauty and the beast, cough lol). I saw your instagram story today about feeling burned out and how your creative side is a little low right now. If I can say, I’m so grateful for every piece of content you put up and get excited for each new upload . Your channel is probably one of my favorite channels to watch! But, as a fellow creative person, it’s important we pour into ourselves and take time to recharge. So don’t put any pressure to push out insane amount of work when you’re having a rough time, those of us who support you will ALWAYS be here waiting when you need a week off or break.

      ok well I just read this and I can feel your sincerity coming through in spades!!! I love creating, but it definitely can burn you out if you aren't careful 😂 I am adjusting my content schedule to accommodate some new life changes and its been really good! A change of pace is exactly what I needed to get back into the swing of things, but slowly and more mindfully than before 👍🏽 also the beauty and the beast was a disaster, and so was Mulan and pretty much every live action they have done! (although I did enjoy cinderella and the maleficent movies..)

Oh I agree on the fact Disney misses 98% of the time with life action lol I haven’t seen maleficent, cause I was worried it was bad too … but now I’ll check it out !! Let’s hope this little mermaid is good but I’m not getting my hopes up too much cause Disney and I’ll have to fight if I get my hopes crushed lol
