 So we're all done with that dress. The one I bought in Hawaii with a tube top kind of roush top It was a cute dress. I guess the fabric is really pretty But the tube top thing just what didn't wasn't it for me. I Love what it turned into How cute is that I know I have leggings on but and then I took some of that scarf I Just added it to the bottom. I didn't do anything on the top. I just put this little button. I Love it. Now it just needs to get warm outside. All right, I'll be back Okay, guys, so last night I had trouble sleeping because one I was dreaming of Bob barbecuing me salmon And I also had this idea for a self-drafted T easy t-shirt pattern that I could do short sleeve or long sleeve and then When I woke up this morning, I just had to draft the pattern Which I did before I made the sundress you just saw and that I had some fabric I could test it with how cute is that I Love it and it fits great Now if I knew how to create it a digital pattern out of it And or upsize it I'd give it to you all for free, but I don't know how to do that So if somebody can help me out, let me know Okay, I'll be back Took some more knit fabric. I had in my stash for a long time I've actually made a tank top out of this before which I believe although it's too big for me I still own But I just couldn't bear to part with the fabric because I like it so much So I took it and I made another one of these t-shirts a little bit longer sleeves. I mean I Love the pattern. I also went out this morning I had to buy thread and I was actually looking at fabric. I was at Joann's. I mean I had to have thread. You can't really thrift that and Fabric is so expensive. Oh my god So although some of the fabrics knits especially are beautiful out there. I'm just that's just yeah That's crazy. So I bought some t-shirts that they had also at Joann's On sale, they were like five dollars each. I got the biggest sizes I could I got two white ones and a double XL and two pink ones and an XL and the white ones All are already sort of tie dyeing with rit dye they've been sitting here for a while and the Pink ones. I think I'm gonna bleach dye With art foamy's I know sounds like a good idea to me too. Alright, so I'll let you know how it turns out I'll they're not gonna cut them up and make more of these shirts. Yeah Anyway, I'll be back 256 I got the video edited the video edited. Yeah video. Yeah, I got the vlog edited In communication with Mike Deakin and Bea Grob from RC Trio We have some exciting stuff coming up at the end of the year So stay tuned and if you're not part of that Facebook group, maybe you want to like join down below. I'll put the link Washing these shirts are you tight? Tie dyed I mean I've been tie dyed anything since I was a teenager But you know I did my best with what I had so hopefully it sticks because it turned out cool And then I bleached painted with the art foamy's to the other two t-shirts and And They are Yes, I love the way they turned out. They turned out really great and I am going to definitely be making a shirt out of this This is cool. I Love it. Absolutely love it so They're sitting here waiting to go in the wash, which is fine And the other ones are Just about done. Yay. All right. I still have to write the weekly posts and all of that stuff I checked in with the kids and grandson and grand dog and Got the cutest picture of grandson napping in his little donut pillow with grand dog's head on Right next to him. She's also napping. That's so cute anyway All right, I've got my New shirt I made on. I like it. Anyway All right, that's it for the minute. I think I'll be back everybody It's almost 11 o'clock on Tuesday April 18th, maybe Still don't know April 18th I have a couple of journal pages I need to film and Yeah, I've got some filming on my schedule that I need to I need to not be too distracted by sewing and things to do the actual Filming although one of the videos is sewing. Anyway, I set up a little like journaling station over here on the tool desk so that I can do some filming and Because of my fall last week, I don't have cords running across the middle of the floor Um Because I did fall if you didn't watch last week's vlog, I'll put a link down in the video description I did fall I'm okay, but yeah, still sore So I think when I have to film and I'm journaling and filming I'm gonna be doing it over here on the tool desk All the plugs are right there. The lighting can be permanently Set up over there and that tripod and everything and it's also out of the way Um, I think it's a good solution. I don't know why I didn't think of it before but you know hindsight's 2020, right? Anyway, so I'm gonna work on that today and we'll work with the changes I made and See if that spot works for me. I see how the lighting is and everything and then I have a pattern cutout I want to work on at some point this week and We've got a couple of things to put away and Yes, for the million people who have asked me The bleaching with the art foamy didn't do anything to the stamp, but I did wash it off right away with soap and water All right, I guess I better stop procrastinating and get to it I'm just looking in the viewfinder of the video camera and I'm thinking I should have done this a long time ago The lighting is great in this corner. There is a bit of a shadow But holy cow All right, let's get to it. Shall we got one RT trio video filmed I'm actually gonna film another one ahead of time and I have a mood board to do That's for actually later in the summer. So I'm gonna try to get all of those things done today And then maybe tomorrow and or Thursday I need to film an abstract watercolor video one or two I don't know it might be a couple parter and I need to film a sewing upcycling video and I need to film some more fixing the flow. Hopefully I can get all of those done before Friday. Maybe We'll see. I'll be back. I've got another one of these aprons done Which I'm pretty happy about the straps were way too long. So I cut I don't know about 12 inches off of each side But I got it done. It's really cute. And Yeah, I got three videos filmed which I didn't expect still finding thread on the floor and Yeah, now it's after 6 o'clock. I'm gonna go downstairs. I'm out of water anyway, so I'll be back happens on counseling day. I forgot to vlog all day. Sorry guys I did get some projects and sewing done Not only because that's what I do, but I do extra or more of it on days when I've had counseling and stuff I also need to update the grocery list, which I'm doing now because multi-tasking, right? It's already 6 44 p.m. Anyway, I did a couple more sewing projects one of which I filmed I've got like four videos to edit now, but I have a couple more I want to film and then I'm just gonna do all the editing at once Theoretically morning everybody. It's just after 10 a.m. on Thursday April 20th, I think yeah, I know yesterday. I didn't do much vlogging barely any It was a tough counseling day to be fair and work through a quite a few things. I'm better today I'm also becoming Okay with saying no and Doing it for the right reasons AKA my mental health So yeah, there's that Keeping my schedule fairly light if possible Is one way and Yeah, anyway, I got a really cute two-piece outfit done yesterday, which I filmed part of the process now the videos aren't super Tutorial as far as sewing is concerned. They're meant to be short fun videos I'm probably not going to be the best at teaching sewing videos like tutorial garment sewing videos But if you want me to do that, I guess I can work on it. I will include a couple of Channels I think are better for that In the video description of those videos For those who want to know I'm having a lot of fun Making clothing for myself and altering things and some things that were in my closet some things I find at the thrift Anyway, I did make one sort of dress thing out of a bed sheet from a pattern I had and after I did it It was key. It's cute and all but I immediately knew it needs different straps I need to do something else with it. So I'm going to be altering that later today You can get something more fun because why not life is too short but first We're gonna go to the thrift store Because I do want to keep my eyes out for a couple things I have one of the T-shirts I recently made on This one's a three-quarter sleeve. I've used the same pattern to make a short sleeve a three-quarter sleeve and a long sleeve I like all of them my favorite so the three-quarter sleeve or the long sleeve I've worn all of as soon as I made them like the next day. I started wearing them. They're all now. I'm gonna be dirty after today So going forward, it's a pattern I'm gonna want to make more of and Knit fabric though is really expensive. So thrifting Knit garments that I can make shirts out of it's like that's the way to go You need a two-way stretch knit but the pattern I drafted is super easy and super flattering So it'll be something I keep making. I also have to check the PO box But I think I'm going to just park my car at the thrift store and walk over because it's only a couple buildings down the street It's going to be easier driving I think I'd rather get wet because it's raining than drive over there I also have to start planning dinner tomorrow because it's family dinner night So but I I'm gonna plan today and shop tomorrow morning That's the plan will work for me and my mental health All right, I'll be back. Hey nothing but garbage mail That being said I do have the PO box if you all want to send me happy mail. I'd Welcome it and my PO boxes in the video description So anyway, let's go home now because now I've got a pile of thrifted things That need to be washed before we do anything else with them plus I kind of need to do laundry, so Always things I'll be back lunch yet, and it's almost one o'clock but the Boho hippie shea dress thing I made last night out of a bed sheet which I'll put a picture here It was okay, but it wasn't exactly what I wanted So I made a few changes first of all, it's not a dress anymore Hold on It is pants now And I cut the straps off and I put spaghetti straps on because that's cuter I know it doesn't go with the top I have on or anything. I actually am fully dressed It has it fits over all my clothes because it's so loose, but you know what I'm okay with that When I was out earlier I found a couple pair of jeans at the thrift store Okay That cuz I knew I wanted to make a jeans skirt a maxi skirt and I'd seen a tutorial for a video Down I'll put it down below. What is her name or channel T Myers? I Think Anyway, I'll put a link down below and I actually watched her video and then I Then I just you know how your recommendations go in YouTube then you could just get video after video of making a jeans skirt And I really thought that was just so interesting and I wondered if I could find a couple pair of jeans close enough in color To make something and I did and they aren't blue Or black they were this pretty gray color and I thought that's that's a great color. I found two pair of jeans one with sparkly pockets, which is just so fun and You guys I made him into a skirt it's now it's downstairs in the washing machine I used to do a lot of stuff with blue jeans and frayed edges and I want this gene to have frayed edges now I did sort of stay stitch all the seams and to make sure it only it revels to a certain place And then you clip the seams and then you wash it and dry it and you agitate it now I Have a big bag that I made a long time ago probably at least 10 years ago Probably more than that actually Back when I first started my YouTube channel, so yeah, definitely longer than that And it has it's a big cotton bag with a drawstring and it has tennis balls in it And so whenever I'm doing this kind of denim work where I want the edges to fray I get the whole thing constructed I get the clip the seams Stitched and then clip them and then I put it in the bag and stick it in the washer and dryer right now It's in the washer so when it's done, and it's dry. I'll pull it out and I'll show you guys, but it is so Cute, I can't wait to wear it I might wear it tomorrow It's really cute, and yeah, it's raining again outside Supposedly this time next week it's supposed to be like 70 80 degrees, but I Will believe it when it happens, but anyway All right, everything else that I bought at the thrift is washed and drying and I'm gonna clean up my mess and Get some more water. I need some water, and yeah, just relax for a bit I doubt we're going walking because it's crazy outside Anyway, I also dropped a straight pin somewhere on my floor. I heard it hit but I Don't know where it went. I can't find it. You know when you hear something like fall You can hear it dang on the floor But then you can never find it I'm gonna end up stepping on it. That's how I'm gonna find it. It's my lotus app around I So, you know Anyway, all right, that's it for the minute. I'll be back. Hey you guys How cute is this? You guys It's still slightly damp But I mean and these were the pockets from the back of the one pair of jeans. I Love it. I'm gonna set it out to dry some more And I think I'm gonna wear it tomorrow How cute if I can do this you can do this Just saying we are headed out this morning to the grocery store because it's family Turn right on to Southwest one. I gotta have food to cook So we're gonna go do that. I almost forgot to bring something downstairs Got it. I got the must edit video done and it's rendering right now I'm gonna try to get the other three videos edited real quick While I eat lunch and then hopefully get them all loaded and scheduled or at least the start of that Before anybody gets here for dinner We'll see though. My dad's is editoriously early And I also need to do the dishes because the sink is full of tribute dishes again And the dishwasher is full of clean ones So that's a thing You might do that first before we do anything else Cuz yeah, all right Oh, and I when I was out at the shops, I saw one kind of peasant blouse type top Well, I saw two of them One was seventy eight dollars just for the top mind you and the other one was fifty four dollars fifty four I Spent about 45 dollars yesterday and got enough Things to upcycle and or a thrift flip Well upcycle because I'm not gonna sell them but For at least seven different pieces of clothing Seven probably more than that because I bet you I can get there's a couple of dresses in there I bet you I can get a couple of different things out of so This is why I'm doing this the way I'm so anyway, all right, let's get the dishes done They're not gonna do themselves. I'll be back, you know, I was thinking this weekend was gonna be Busy and hectic because they had editing to do and scheduling of videos to do and I got it all done The longest part was the editing it used to be the longest part was uploading it to YouTube but we have recently upgraded our cell phone and internet connection and doubled our speed For up for uploading the videos. I don't remember if that's download speed or uploads I can't keep it straight. Anyway, it is so quick now. Oh my god It's amazing so anyway, that's all done. I gotta wait for a couple of links from collaborators, but otherwise I'm good. I even got the collaboration video for May done. I Mean, I'm never that far ahead at least I haven't been for a long time So anyway, I have a few more things I want to film but they can wait a Week or two because they don't need to be done right the second. Anyway I'm gonna relax for a little bit watch some YouTube and then get ready for family dinner night because yeah I got a big lasagna to cook and that'll take a while. I'll be back.
