Whatever, i just watched all your videos today, you're an amazing genius ! :)

[themaclover4ever]

[AlreadyCompl3te]

[superduperenja]

[superduperenja]

what's the song? :)

[ancloset]

I was wondering where you can buy the elastics? and btw, perfect tutorial!:)

[2Bgirl000]

Hey do you know which sewing machine is best for beginner and its lower $80 >.<

[ludvinaakalulu]

i love this tutorial! too bad i don't think i can't pull it off because my breast is a little too big

[MartyJTumbler]

I dont have any elastic!!!

[sourflakes]

DARN i wasted 7 pillow cases oh wait I DID NOT waste ANY of them Cus they turned out great! Thank you so much! :) btw i'm 10 so i understand fast xD

[LanaClarkLC]

Wouldnt it become a bit bulky on the top where you turned the elastic in twice?

[AlexisSmilesBig]

:D i like this video

[sisipec20]

awww your so adorable!

[AlexLikesSandwitches]

You're so cute xD

[markveda]

i love lykee lee i havent met anyone who does!

[sweetnsour80]

Lol She's so cute any one else like her little song at the end? XD 8:28

[AllThingsMagical]

I love how it looks like you can barely walk with the black pair of high wasted shorts! Lmao. xD <3

[NessaMoore0406]

U're really good. Makes it look so simple

[annnnjell]

You are just so cute. :)

[Moecah99]

how do you know how much to pull the elastic when sewing it onto the fabric? i dont understand how you get it evenly "pulled"

[MsKaylaBaby23]

So cute but I have no clue how to use a sewing machine :(

[Keepitniceandclassy]

Can you just sew with a thread and needles? Do you need a machine?

[LSHincapie]

LOVE your top from that turban headband!!

[tardsXloveXllamas]

'unsightly bulges'

HAHA

[Shanelly0129]

What stitch can you use instead of a baste stitch on your sewing machine? I have a basic one.

[toomuchhx]

Yes! Finally someone who calls it a band-oh. I've been taking french for 11 years and frankly, it's quite painful to hear these "uneducated" people call it a band-ue. (:

[Araiinbow]

Haha I definitely have the same sewing machine. Great tutorial thank you! :)

[Andreazation]

One question, idk if anyone has asked this already but could I use this same method but with swim wear fabric to make a bikini top? I'm in love with the Victoria's Secret bandaeu bikini tops and was wondering if you could make a tutorial for that? I WOULD LOVE IT! :D

[amomschoice]

Great tutorial...

[mrsmojet1]

aaah ure are so cute. i about to do this with three different colours, with a bandeau top attached to a longer bottom half, if it comes out ok i'lll show it to ya.

[islandgurl616]

amazing! im gona go make this now, bye :)

[VietDemon16]

so cute! <3

[RNBbrah]

your pillow cover is pretty

[badbunny]

This is brilliant, thank you so much for making these videos.

[lookunderhere]

@superbandaid23 Eau is pronounced "o" in French, so I naturally presumed bandeau was "bando"

[pemchem]

@lookunderhere Yes, you're correct

[Rachie252]

@lookunderhere It is a bandeu or bandooo ;)

[mizzfitroses]

@Rachie252 It's pronounced Band- Oh. not ooo

[Rachie252]

@mizzfitroses Uh I dont see the difference?

[happybirdlover]

@lookunderhere UR WELCOME



[happybirdlover]

@happybirdlover oh wait i meant to say that to superbandaid23 lol sorry

[silverbracelet6]

@superbandaid23 merriam webster dot com slash dictionary slash bandeau

[superbandaid23]

@silverbracelet6 haha yeah thanks. i asked my mom and she's like yeah no kidding its pronounced bando

[happybirdlover]

@superbandaid23 NO its bando 

[beguiledchild]

So wait...

1) Did you open/unfold the pillowcase after your cut it?

2) What was the length of your pillowcase?

When I try and stretch the elastic as wide as the pillowcase, after I unfolded at the seam, the elastic seems like it won't stretch as wide at the pillowcase!! D:

[beguiledchild]

@beguiledchild Oops, I didn't notice that you cut off excess fabric...I am so dumb. Sorry! :P

[mklxp]

<3 where did u get the black shorts?

[irelandeccentric]

Woooow! You're so cute! You do nifty stuff! <3

[memyselfandI738]

thanks so much!

[lookunderhere]

@er930192 thank you for stopping by!

[TodayILearnedThat]

It might be easier to gather the fabric using a long stitch and then sew it onto the fabric. It will take the guesswork out of how much to pull the elastic when stitching and will ensure that the gathering is more even :)

[lookunderhere]

@TodayILearnedThat I COMPLETELY DISAGREE!

Haha please don't take that the wrong way. I feel like for most people that would be easier, but I just finished making a skirt, and trying to make my gathers even was SO hard. I gave up. If you have any tips on how to make gathering easier, please share!

Thanks for the advice. If I practised gathering more, I'm sure your method would be more efficient.

[bmviola310]

i love it!!!!!

[makeupandmorebyrobin]

omg i luv u ur so cute hahaha

[lookunderhere]

@makeupandmorebyrobin Thanks (:

[annbanann]

i'm having trouble sewing the elastic

how big of a zig zag are you using?

how much should i stretch the elastic. it looks like you're stretching almost 2x the relaxed length

[annbanann]

@annbanann if i use a different method: sewing an elastic casing

would that work for bandeaus?

[lookunderhere]

@annbanann That is another method that will work. Regarding the previous comment, my stitch is about 1cm wide. And I pulled the elastic quite taut, I have no definitive answer though sorry!

[Tasha1lau]

I would totally do this if i had a sewing machine. HAHAHA.

BTW loving your videos. : )

[lookunderhere]

@Tasha1lau Thanks for stopping by! I don't know what I would do without my sewing machine.

[weightofherspit]

i loooooove your top !!

where is it from ?

i'm definitely going to try this !

[lookunderhere]

@weightofherspit The sheer top? It's from value village. Let me know how it goes (:

[theused714oc]
