    Of course, it's you !!! I haven't crafted in so long I've forgotten how to do everything, so I wanted to do some fabric/paper clusters, but needed some inspiration, and while I was gathering materials, I was looking at the thumbnails only, saw this one, and immediately clicked -- and then both was and wasn't surprised it was you. It's hard remembering the pandemic. You literally saved my life at that time by posting videos daily. And not just me. And I laughed at the noisy kids and water over the balcony. Today, we are both moved. I hope you love your new place as much as we love ours. Our "new" house was built in 1931, and is on the historic register. It's just a little cottage style, but I love everything about it. The door knobs are original, and sunlight pours in from all of the large windows in every room. Our neighbors are wonderful, and there's a perfect spot for my garden, which did well last year until the horrible heat came and killed everybody's gardens. The tomatoes literally boiled on the vine. That's enough of me. You are soon headed for Australia, but LuLu is now grown up, and I bet she's a looker, and boys are gonna be swarming around her like bees on a daisy. You need to get you one of those nerf guns -- that shoot the sponge pellets -- with a sign attached: back off, mate -- ha. So now I have to go and actually watch the rest of the video. That's such a good idea to do it all in layers. I got the backing fabric -- just beige ticking -- all cut up in size, now I'm going to enjoy the rest of your video and layer as you are doing. Take care -- Patricia.

Also love your videos and all of your wonderful creations. I was an exchange student in high school and I was in Australia for about 6 months. The Australian accent is one of my favorites and makes me think of how much fun I had when I was there.

    I really like this way of doing them too Rachel. I do the fabric clusters one at a time with a cardstock base but I have trouble with the mostly paper ones as well. This looks like it would be much easier. I also love the stitching instead of the staple. I always had to find something to cover the staple because it looked so modern. Thanks for sharing and long vids never bother me, so no worries from this end on that count! Lol hugs!

    It never ceases to amaze me how glueing a bunch of pieces of torn paper on top of each other can look so cool. You made such a unique collection of clusters even though you used pretty much the same papers on all of them. That is where your creativity and flair for color and shape come in.

The county in my state that we are moving from just put out a stay at home order, so our cases in the states haven't peaked yet. Back to the vid because it's my daily dose of normal! Hugs

    What an excellent idea. I am certainly going to try that. Thank you for sharing. Because I was a sewer long before I was a paper artist, may I give you a couple of hints. For doing the sewing around the cluster, drop your feed dogs and just use your hands to move the paper around. It saves you turning and stopping a lot. It takes some practice, but works great. Another thing, I would use the machine to sew on the buttons. A lot faster and easier. Good luck. Again, thank you.

Another beautiful project, thank you Rachel!

    This is a different way to make clusters. I’ll have to try it and see what I think. Also I’ll have to see if I’m successful at making the knots, as you did. It looked nice and easy. TFS. 😃
