 Hi you guys, it's Lindsay here. Welcome back to my channel Inside the Hymn. Today we are talking about my November favorites. These are all the products that I have been using and loving in November. And if you saw my makes slash plans video, then you know I wasn't really sewing that much in November. But that doesn't mean that I didn't find some favorite things. As you know, if you were watching that video, all I made in November were jeans, muslins. So as you can imagine, I was doing a lot of drafting, a lot of like altering and stuff like that. So my favorites for this month are kind of geared in that direction. But if you draft your own patterns, if you make a ton of alterations, if you're into pattern hacking, if you use a lot of bird style patterns and have to work with seam allowances, you're going to love all of these products. So the first one I've talked to you a little bit about Luna graphics before. It's a shop on Etsy and they sell like sewing products like out of plastic. They have a button fly guide that I know I've talked to you about before, which is really awesome. But what I've really used a lot of this month are their seam allowance curves. And there's two of them. I hope you can see them because they're kind of see through. But basically, they are typical curve rulers with a couple of exceptions. One is their see through. So you can totally see through to your pattern, which is awesome. And the width of this little piece here all the way around is five eighths. So that's the standard seam allowance size. So when you're making alterations and let's say you're adding width somewhere, you typically add the width and that's your sewing line and then you need to add the seam allowance. So this would allow you to add seam allowance along a curve, which isn't difficult, but it's tedious to take your little seam gauge and to keep moving it around the curve. This allows you to kind of match the curve as best you could and then draw a long sweeping line. And between the two of them, there's like a ton of different curves, different angles, different sharper curves, rounder curves, more overly curves. And then there's this long straight edge too, which I found really, really helpful. Also from Lunagraphics are these curve rulers and basically they are like pizza cutters with measurements all along the wheel. So when I was making my ginger jeans, it was important to keep measuring the length of the inseam for the front and the back to make sure that they were going to be the same that you wouldn't end up with one part of your pants longer than the other. And like around a hip is like super curvy. So it was really nice to be able to just take the ruler, measure around that curve because the wheel turns as you move it along the pattern piece and get your measurement along a curve. If you use like measuring tape, you can do it, but you know it can be a little finicky. You have to go like little inch by inch to make sure you get around the curve just right. And this just made it super simple just to like slap it down onto the seam line and just and then you have your measurement for that whatever it is. Maybe it's a crotch curve, maybe it's a hip curve, maybe whatever. These I found really great. There's a little itty bitty one for smaller measurements that goes up to I guess that would be eight inches and then this one goes up to 12 inches. So I ended up using all of these like a ton whenever I was working on my muslins. I will link in the description box to Lunagraphic's store on Etsy and you can go look around and see if you think any of these things will be helpful. Also in the measurement realm, I finally picked up one of these 24 inch by 6 inch clear rulers by Fiskars. Joann's was having a Black Friday sale and the rulers were all 60% off. So I finally got one and honestly I don't know what I was waiting for. I know that people love these and I don't know. I had the smaller one, the yellow one that's like four inches by maybe 14 inches or something like that. And so I was making do with that, but this has really been awesome. I love it mostly right now for measuring grain lines. You know, you have to measure the width between the grain line and the salvage to make sure that the grain line is even all the way across. So this just gives you like a lot more space to do that. You know, your grain lines aren't always like super close to the edge of your fabric. So this gives you more space to work with. Your grain line can be further away and you can still get that measurement. So this has been awesome. I will put a link in the description box to where you can get this on Amazon. But honestly, I think you can get it at Hobby Lobby or Joanne or whatever you want with a coupon. I don't know how the pricing would match up with Amazon, but either way, I'll give a link down below so you can at least read the description and see more information about it. So I have those two things and then I would be remiss and I would be a very bad fan if I didn't mention that I have been loving the new Taylor Swift album called Reputation. I'm sure you all have heard about it, at least if you haven't heard any of the songs from it. If you don't know, I'm a huge Taylor Swift fan, like really big. And I had, you know, pre-ordered the album. I have already gotten tickets to the concert next year. So big, big, big fan here. I've had her album on repeat. It's just a lot of fun to sew to because it's, you know, very poppy and just very easy to listen to. I know the words now. So I just love that album. And I would recommend that all of you go out and get a copy for yourself to listen to while you sew. So that's my PSA for Taylor Swift. All my Swifties out there. Love you guys. I know you're, I know that they are sewing Swifties. I found you guys, we've chatted on Instagram. So you know who you are. Anyways, so that is, those are my favorites for the month of November. I hope that you'll go check them all out, especially Lunagraphics. She does a really good job. It's like a little independent company doing things that are just really practical and great for sewists. So that's awesome. So yeah, thank you so much for watching and I will see you all very soon. Thanks.
