 Hi, my name is Belgika and I'm an actress based out of California and all month I am doing self tapes and this week we are doing special skills and it is day 16. So if you want to see the other self tapes I've done there on my channel today is number 16 this month and in the past I have also vlogged you know filming self tapes and my process and the setup that I use it's always changing. I recently added or a few weeks ago a couple weeks ago I added a cheeseboard to my setup and you can find out why in I think day two three I don't remember at the beginning of the month but today I am going to film myself hand sewing a little bit because I don't have a sewing machine and I'm also going to film a clip of me knitting. Today is a two in one so I'm actually filming two separate skills today but it is you know creating a garment so I thought I would do it in one day since I it's pretty easy to you know put a camera onto my hands and show some hand sewing and some knitting like I said I don't have a sewing machine so I can't show that but I am going to explain during my slate during the introduction of that skill that I am proficient and very comfortable with sewing machines. So that is my skill today any other sewers I really love sewing I like sewing costumes because that's how I originally got started I actually worked at a costume shop all through college and then a few years after that too. I want to say I worked in the costume shop for like eight years almost 10 years I don't remember but a very long time so I sewed all kinds of things I can drape okay but it just takes me really really long and knitting I have been knitting since I was 14 so I am pretty experienced with both of those things very comfortable that's why I've put it towards the end of the week these proficient to the most proficient and these clips are going to live on my casting websites of course so I can submit to different casting calls for commercials tv shows films whatever comes my way that I'm interested in and as you might know because I've said it many times this month I am playing around with different clothing and I just thought this was pretty fun and it would be a fun thing to be wearing during the slate of the the clip my special skills uh clip and I am going to be using the pink backdrop with this because I just thought it would be fun and cute so uh let me show you my special skill intro and the clip hi my name is Belgium Rodriguez I'm an intermediate knitter and this is an example of what I can knit I like to use simple patterns and I enjoy giving away knitted gifts for the holidays hi my name is Belgium Rodriguez I am an advanced sewer I worked at a costume shop all throughout college for the theater department I am very comfortable with the sewing machine the serger I'm a quick hand sewer and I of course enjoy fixing my clothing at home and creating costumes for Halloween thank you so much for watching let me know if you are also a knitter or a sewer if you want to learn how to do that there's oh if you've never seen with Wendy um she's on maternity leave right now but she's a youtuber and her videos are so relaxing oh my gosh I'm going to feature her channel at the end of this video which is very soon but um she has a lot of really fun sewing videos and because I've missed sewing so much I just watched her videos but you guys should go check her out she's a huge youtuber if you don't know about her already um she makes sewing videos and they're really fun so go check out her channel and if you would like to be featured at the end of my next video make sure you're subscribed like this video and leave me a comment tell me what your channel is about
