Think you'd enjoy Tasting History with Max Miller. He cooks historical recipes and gives fun history facts and is overall just adorable in how he presents himself and talks of his husband
I love Max Miller watch his channel all the time
I agree
I found Max's channel a few months after he'd started it! Love him!!
Plus, he always sneaks in relevant pokemon plushies in the background.
I agree! I love his show!
My youtube recommendation is always Evan and Katelyn. For anyone. Wholesome and occasionally cursed chaos in the DIY/science/arts&crafts category of content.
I was going to be extremely surprised if no one suggested E&K, so I had to do a quick scroll of the comments before I suggested them myself:)
Yess!
omg I just got into them like This Month! They're fantastic I love them
They were at the top of my list but I also wanted to suggest @alispagnola
@drewdirksen
One of my favourite tips for ironing is to take the fabric out of the dryer just a little bit before it’s totally dry, so there’s just a tiny bit of moisture remaining in the fabric. That way it is MUCH easier to iron and creates a little bit of its own steam 🙂
Oooo that's a great tip!
My mom would put ironing (dress shirts etc) in the freezer when wet from the washing machine and then iron when she had time, wise lady!
My mom put the damp laundry in the crisper/veggie drawer of the refrigerator before doing the ironing.😂
I have never thought of this, you absolute genius
Yeah, my dryer has an "iron dry" setting - which in German interestingly is called "bügelfeucht" (=iron moist), emphasizing the need for the fabric to be still a bit damp ;)
I must also add that this “challenge” was a great idea! I don’t know about any of you, but I just got a ton of new RUclipsrs to check out! Thank you!!!!
Yes! I'm going through the comments thinking "I need to save this video so I can find all these recommendations again!!!"
For the unknown youtuber challenge; Snappy Dragon. She does historical costume research and explains their functions, history, and shows you her picture reference (some of which are HILARIOUS) while also wearing the costumes she makes representing the time period.
EDIT she did the How you wash laundry in the middle ages video
“We are expected to water down our personality to grey and beige”. Yessss, Charlie!!
I detest this aspect of adulthood and enjoyed the small-child-years with my kids so much. I got to do all the fun stuff with them again. Like: Build a snow slide with the neighbor in the backyard just for yourself: weird! Do that with kids: great parenting! 😂
I like watching Lady Rebecca Fashions, Rachel Maksy, Blueprint DIY, Madison Lynn, Crescent Shay, and this lady on The Stitchery who needs to clean her machine (you asked for a reminder a while back and I put it in my calendar for the 18th).
Rachel Maksy for the win, but I am sure the Stitchery knows about her!
Studson Studios makes incredible mini statues out of trash. His Howl's Moving Castle is a work of heckin' art.
I saw that! It was cool!
Love love love Retro Claude! She knits, crochets, and sews vintage. Plus she’s has the best British humor 😅
She has such a nice voice!
PricklyAplaca , fantasy costumes and characters, but also whimsical daily clothes
This was who I was going to mention! 😊
Love her! I was thinking of recommending her too!
Yes! I love her aesthetic both fashion wise and chaos video wise
My mum was a member of the Clown Ministry at church for a number of years when I was growing up. Her clown name was Aunt Daisy, and she had a huge skirt and vest in striped fabric with over a dozen pockets that she kept several random items, including juggling scarves and a kazoo.
Definitely thought you meant she ministered TO THE CLOWNS for a second there.
@@sarar4901 I mean, the group did do skits for the congregation that involved ministering to each other.... 😂
@@TheMagnoliaWitchServing custard pies?
@@damogranheart5521 Nnnnnope, that was never a part of it. While the pie to the face is a modern staple of slapstick comedy, for the Clown Ministry the comedy was a vehicle through which the message of love and respect and friendship across divides was carried, and hitting someone (even with a pie) was a no-no because bullying is bad. (Besides, the church had carpet floors and custard is really hard to clean up from that. XD)
The unknown youtuber challenge: Reissued. This channel is about a guy who takes things from thrift stores and then makes his house beautiful. He's not spending all the money, but he is making gorgeous cohesive spaces using lots of different crafting techniques. He's also a collage artist (and a dancer!), so it makes sense that he'd have such a great touch with interior decorating
Now him I watch . Love his channel . I need to check out a few of the others recommended here.
Great recommendation, I instantly subscribed after checking him out 👍🏻
Almost never going outside is exactly why I opted to work on my entire wardrobe of hoodie dresses instead of this super cute capsule wardrobe that's been living in my head.
During the height of Covid when I decided to get back into sewing, I made a patchwork quilt. My mom was a scrap hoarder and I had inherited some of her hoard (dating back to like the mid 70s) , and then I had my own scraps from clothes that I bought when I was in India in '89-'90 (and had subsequently sent to my mom so she could make dresses for little girls and then sent me back the scraos) So yeah, the scraps have HISTORY!! I have a piece that was from a dress I wore for picture day in 2nd grade. There's pieces of a night gown my sister wore one Christmas morning. Holiday dress, blouses my mom had made for herself, fabrics that other scraps had been turned into doll clothes.... My first salwar-kameez that I bought. The one I wore on the train to Goa. The one I had on at the beach in Rameshwaran..... I cannot fully articulate the amount of joy the quilt brings me every time I look at it. (I mention this because I love seeing you point out different pieces at the end of the video)
Here's a (possible) new one for you, Mariah Pattie? She's taken some time off more recently due to personal life stuff but she's had a lot of great videos on her channel. Mostly historical/vintage-inspired stuff (some actual recreations/costumes but mostly more for everyday wear)
Love her!
I love her methodical approach and care to the final product!
RUclipsr rec is Vincent Briggs, he does a lot of historical sewing, but also embroidery, and just some cool projects! He's got a very soothing voice and chilled out methodical way of working that's fun to watch. Also he's the mind behind the pterrible dinosaur comics! Weird that I commented this and forgot that one of his projects is making a patchwork dressing gown out of something like 7000 triangles, perfect for this video
love his work. his 6000 piece coat is amazing!!
I was going to recommend him ! His work is impeccable and his voice is soothing
I can’t decide if I like him or find him a bit creepy but he sure has a lot of skill and patience and it is totally clear he doesn’t waste as much as I do to scroll trough the internet😅
@@Fiakajsa that is a fair assessment. i can tell tell you that he is not trying to be creepy. he is just nurospicy. i am too. we just lack social skills. i will bet he has some asperger's tendencies. this is now known as being on the autism spectrum. among symptoms are hyper focus and trouble with eye contact.
His coat is amazing!!!
RUclips started recommending me Hazariel's channel when I was watching you and Rachel Maksy do home renovations along with sewing so now I also watch her content. Another youtuber who does sewing in addition to other vlog form vidoes is Loepsie. She is from the Netherlands and Hazariel is from France.
I LOVE Hazariel!
Loepsie is one of my most watched channels!!!
@@planningtolive_thebestlife453 I just finished her latest vid before jumping over to Charlie's
Love them both
Love them all!!!
One of my new favourites is Ash Bentley, I've noticed a trend in neurospicy vibes in my top creators and she is peak enjoyable chaos. To go way more random but not at all new Atomic Shrimp covers a broad range of interesting topics and its like hanging out with your dad's mate who knows loads of stuff (because I'm English and in my 30s)
+1 for Ash Bentley!
+2 for her. She's so much fun
+3 for ash. Love her style.
I love Ash!
She's one of my favorites!
Not at all sewing related, but my absolute favorite channel is Atomic Shrimp. He has a ton of different types of videos, but a fair number of them have a "just start and do it" energy or a "create a challenge to find out what we can do when we push ourselves outside of the box" energy that I really love. Plus he has a super cute dog.
I love his scam baiting videos. He has a wonderful sense of humor. So dry but perfect.
I love Atomic Shrimp!
@@leisureletter2051 I found through the scam baiting I stayed for all the other great content! His slow TV is my favourite! Especially as I live on the other side of the planet!
I have recommended Atomic Shrimp too - I love his philosophy life is about learning and trying new things.
Mijn Wolden is a wonderfully chaotic fiber crafting channel that I love. She mostly spins, dyes and knits, but occasionally does other things and I just find her particular chaos goblin style super entertaining
ok I'm heading there NOW...
Yessss she is amazing!!
LOVE Jente!!!
Studson Studio is one of my favorite maker channels on RUclips- he builds models (mostly from video games and movies) out of trash and recycling. He’s got an awesome sense of humor and edits his videos very well. I’d recommend the Howl’s Moving Castle build!
I’m cursed but he’s got good hands.. 👀
His horse centipede video is one of my all-time favourites.
I would never recommend preemptively but I do like a challenge and shouting out channels I like. sewing adjacent are Sarah Spaceman, Miss twisted, Ash Bentley, and fantastical follies costuming. For general making and joy: Cary's Cuttlefish and Jane Sawyer Makes. ENJOY!!!!!
Ditto on Sarah Spaceman!! She is a wonderful RUclipsr to learn from
Miss Twisted is a gem. Amazing talent!
I just watched Carly B make an Anne of Green Gables dress and pinafore. Now I get to watch Charlie. Yay!🎉
What a great start to the weekend. 😊
By the way, after the comment about watering down our personalities to Grey and beige I had a strong desire to go through my clothes and get rid of everything that was subdued and grown-up. But, then I remembered that almost all of my clothes are subdued and grown-up. I would be left with several pajama bottoms and one crazy nightgown I made out of a bedsheet. So, had to squelch that desire and make a mental note to just make more fun clothing.😂
I watched them both today also. 😂
I've been under the weather all week so I'm a bit late to the party, but my belated suggestion of a channel you might not have heard of is The Last Lonely House, created by an older lady in Northumberland, England, my home place, who does quilts, and all sorts of other creative things.
She is willing to try anything, and has, and is often assisted by her daughter, two sons, and daughters in law, helping with her projects both in front of and behind the camera.
Her name is Kate and she always begins her videos by saying, Hello RUclips friends.😊
She started a second channel about her country garden, and this year with the help of another creative local gentleman, they made a pond for her pet goose, and built a cabin beside it. That channel is the Last Lonely Garden.
She made patchwork curtains and cushions and a throw etc. for the cabin, and she is a recycler, making use of old things everywhere which is very satisfying to me.
That's how we grew up when I was a child, reusing and remaking after WW11, when we had major shortages for years and years. It's a way of life, not a new thing to us oldies. 😉
She loves colour and her home is a rainbow. Almost every soft furnishing she has made, and painted everything else.
The name of her channel comes from the Lord of the Rings of course, and since I've lived in western Canada for almost 60 years now, I love to see the scenery of my home place as well as her creativity.
She used to have several cats but they have crossed the rainbow bridge so she only has one now.
She was a senior midwife In a hospital in Newcastle-upon-Tyne , my home town, before she retired and had free rein to do her creative things.
It's funny when I think about it. She's white haired and retired but I'm 80 in a few months so I'm almost a generation older than she is. 🤦
I really love the channel Midwest magic cleaning! he's great fun, nuero spicy and beautifully understanding of the folks he helps. 10/10 amazing hoarder cleaning, and general cleaning channel
I LOVE that dude. I usually wind up wanting to spin kick things afterward, which is potentially unfortunate for my sense of balance
i love the inclusion of how many episodes of a show it takes to get through a project!!! it really puts the time-spent-crafting into perspective :]!
Recommendations that are not sewing related:
Baumgartner Restoration
Nerd Forge
Tarantula Kat
CLR Bruce Rivers
Oh my goodness I can second Baumgartner Restauration wholeheartedly!!
Nerdforge makes spectacular projects.
"maybe bre" includes baking interludes! And i also love "ladyanniebelle".
"A different sort of duck" is a little chaotic, kinda micarah vibes. "Mountain June" features her dogs between sewing, "capable trinket" is quick witted, and finally "another dream goes west"
I literally discovered Maybe Bre this week, she’s awesome ❤
I just discovered her too! RUclips must be pushing her channel out to more people.
Same here! I really like her food prep interludes, feels like a nice video to cover a whole evening's worth of activity.
A sewist youtuber I got recommended recently is Ash Bentley from Australia. She made jeans with 25 pockets that reminded me of your love of pockets.
I came to recommend her too, so fun and I loved the million pocket pants
LOVE ash so much. As chaotic-good as it gets.
Laura Kampf. Creative maker of many things. She talks a lot about inspiration coming from found objects. Her energy is infectious and she is an overall delight.
Love her so much!!
I'm going to add on with more ladies that build - Simone Giertz (obviously), but also Xyla Foxlin and Mercury Stardust, the Trans Handy Ma'am
Get hands dirty is a great female builder channel too
I’ll second Laura Kamf!
Ooh I said Simone Gietz but they have had collabs
That trunk / drawer!!! All that was missing was the beam of light coming from it with the angels going ‘haaaaaaaaaaaaa’
It’s fabulous!!
No recommendations- just praise. Great video. Looking forward to the next year’s install :)
For RUclipsr recommendations, I personally love the videos from Sarah Spaceman (cosplay and sewing), Lizard Leigh (sewing and cosplay with fashion history thrown in) and Kathleen Illustrated (cozy crafts and thrifting vlogs)!
Your videos are the perfect balance of tutorial and mild chaos energy :) Keep up the great content!
Even if Charlie's heard of her, I wanna recommend Kristine Vike, because she also has some lovely patchwork she's done. It's crazy patchwork, where you just sort of fold in the edges of a fabric scrap and put it on a base fabric, and then embroider all over it. Really good for using up those little fabric bits
The Clever Cowgirl, she gets horses that have been abused and/or neglected, and teaches them to trust again. I think I really like her, because her methods are so much like my mom's were; it takes a lot of time and patience to bring a horse back. Some of the horses she rehabs and rehomes, some will live with her forever; she's awesome.
I love her too! So relaxing to watch while crafting, too.
I am *obsessed* with The Closet Historian 🖤🖤🖤 because her personal style is a bit more similar to my everyday style, but I LOVE your videos and also sometimes dress in your more whimsical style. I’m all over the place lol
after your trip to England, I passed on your positive comments on to the people of Mapperton. they give you thanks.
Another Dream goes West, and Maybe Bre are smaller creators that I’ve been following. The Needle Woman is a constant inspiration that patterns aren’t necessary holy cow she just makes things and they turn out so good!
Knitting cult lady is fun and while the crafting isn’t the point of her channel definitely has a fun approach to clothing and crafting and who doesn’t want to learn about how not to be in a cult?
I love Another Dream Gone West! She’s so thoughtful in how she approaches making and designing. I rewatch her videos to keep me company while I’m sewing. She *just* posted a new video today, and the only reason I’m not watching it right now is because I’d already started this one. Heading there next!
You might enjoy @RetroClaude! She is more vintage-crafty, but definitely embodies the same "use what you have and do what you have spoons for" spirit!
Love Retro Claude!
Love her! I don't knit, like at all, but she makes such beautiful stuff and helps remind me to pace myself and be mindful about making do. ❤
Oh yeah she's great! I was going to recommend her and Engineering Knits because they're both great knitting and vintage/historic crafting RUclipsrs.
Shelby Sherritt is the sweetest potter from Australia. I don’t do any pottery but love watching her paint pretty things while I sew.
Dave's Craft Room - he approaches quilts like you approach garments. The Seamstress at the Cottage is just lovely in every way. Cornelius Quiring is unique and wonderful. "Pockets the Clown!" Love it! 🌻🍄
I love Dave's videos! I just found him a couple weeks ago. I honestly wish I could find more quilters like him on youtube. Everyone else is so tutorial and pattern focused, which is fine, but not really my thing.
LOVE Dave’s Craft Room. He’s a hoot.
I LOVE Dave, he's great!
100% to Dave’s craft room. He is an artist in the truest sense!
I recently found Cornelius Quiring and I’ve been LOVING his out-of-the-box character and style.
Rob Words is a great RUclipsr that talks about etymology in a fun an entertaining way.
I recommend The Petticoated Swashbuckler. So much goodness of things made and research combined. And then there is Sewing Therapy because Sara is so calm and her projects and her patterns are allllllll the cosy and comfy goodness.
I can recommend washijng the fabric as soon as you get it; then you can use it whenever you want!
Highly recommend! Storing new fabric means all of the sizing or whatever finishes are sprayed onto the cloth can settle into the folds.Warm weather/storage areas can cook discolorations into the fibers. I once unfolded some new, unwashed fabric that had gotten some lipstick or other cosmetic on it (unseen by me when purchasing) and it had bloomed out into the fabric with a large oily spot. Luckily it was near the edge, but still, gross!
also getting nearly all my fabric second hand, you never know what your going to end up with. also good to see how it washes up. see how bad the fraying is.
I do this with chunks large enough! I don't yet have a washer or washer bag equipped for lots of little pieces.
Favorite obscure crafting channel: Sally Pointer. Various historical crafting and making techniques, often from very early, like bronze or iron age. Quite a bit of legit experimental archaeology too. If you've never heard of a sprang bag or lime bast cordage, or ever wondered how to make a bramble basket, she's the right channel.
I’m a big fan of Maire Colclough. I came across her originally when I was looking for Canadian knit/crochet RUclipsrs, but I’ve stuck around for the sewing, and a bit of embroidery, and pattern/fitting adjustments… and because I just really like her personality.
Love her! She also is realistic in time scheduled and honest about real world things getting in the way of a project.
I think you would enjoy Nerdforge, Martina makes a bunch of different things, usually diaramas, but she has made videos about sewing leather armour and book binding.
Ash Bentley is a great RUclipsr with sewing content. Also Steph Kennedy. Highly recommend.
Yes!
I know of Ash Bentley, but hadn't seen Steph Kennedy before, so you get blue ribbon of success! I'll be checking them out for sure!
"All of the colors all of the time!!!" That's it that's my mood every day
Also, while they're in more the cosplay/LARP sewing circle, I adore Lizard Leigh and Ash L G's work!
Both absolutely awesome creators!
My 3yo son is always asking for rainbow everything! He loves all of the colors!
Transend Furniture Gallery. She refinishes unwanted furniture into beautiful glamorous pieces, and not necessarily just painted. Plus there’s bunnies, kitties and even a piggy!
And she has a lovely, calming voice.
Your debate about lining the pants is very relatable. Next time, you might want to try the quilt-as-you go method. You stitch the patches directly to the lining and cover your raw edges as you go. It would be great for making patchwork garments.
I think this is a great idea!!
Patchwork pants! I like the use of the 'produce label' prints for the pockets, as a unifying element. "When you can't choose a colour palette, just make everything rainbow."
I enjoy 'Evan and Katelyn'. They mostly do resin art, but they've also done novelty keyboards/key caps (concrete keyboard, all-wood 'Scrabble' keyboard, velvet keyboard), clothing modification (bleach drawing, tie-dye), food videos (rice krispie treats with different kinds of cereal, liquid nitrogen ice cream), novelty projects (giant laptop, table with mannequin legs, 1000-wick candle) - they seem like "we'll try anything once" types. I started watching them for the stuff they make for their cat.
Love 'em, so cheery and not clown like at all. So smart adding elastic to the back of the shoulder straps, simple but effective.
Love the overalls! That’s the kind of garment that lifts the mood the moment you see it hanging in your wardrobe.
I would like to suggest Karen Brown from Just Get It Done Quilts, specifically her playlist on colour theory for quilters which might have some helpful tips for when you don’t want to go all out rainbow with a patchwork project. Not that there’s ever anything wrong with a rainbow. 🌈
One maker-ish channel I love is Ariel Bisset. I think she's originally a book-channel, but has been doing home renovations for a while now. I just enjoy her calm voice and the bright colors she uses :)
I wanted to recommend her too! She has great taste and an adorable laugh :). And her mini library truck is so cool!
There are so many makers who inspire me.. your channel included...however, currently i am watching Dave's Craft Room, Shannon Makes, Catherine Sews and Annie Claxton.. i find myself looking forward to watching for upcoming videos of them...and of course, your videos as well. 😊
As a fellow musical theatre kiddo, these overalls are giving me Godspell in the best way!
Snappy Dragon of the one of them
Dave of Dave’s Craft Room makes bonkers-awesome quilts and other projects. I find his style and his freewheeling attitude completely inspiring.
Specifically, I’d like to recommend the zombie embroidery episode: ruclips.net/video/LWnXlaQrhVw/видео.htmlsi=96dQDqwauVSJ0Bld
Someone already said Vincent Briggs who I agree is wonderful but I also wanna shoutout Lydia Naomi, she is so delightful to watch (lots of made-up songs) and has so many awesome patterns. I followed her tutorial for her milkmaid dress for my graduation outfit in 2021 (having never sewn a garment in my life) INCLUDING her tutorial for adjusting the bust size, and it turned out so beautiful, it's one of my proudest makes. She's having a baby soon, yay!
Jillian Eve is a youtube maker who is awesome! She does spinning, sewing, weaving, and historical garments.
I really appreciate how much work you put into the captions.
The little bit of embroidered fabric is perfection.
One of my favourite youtubers right now is Cassie Clutterbug😊 but she is more about organisation and cleaning with some renovation projects on the side.
Are you doing her 30-day declutter challenge? I've been enjoying it
Im semi-following. I don't have some of the categories though.
This project is really cool! I love how you did more random shapes and not just squares. And the elastic piece in the shoulder straps is genius. But also - 27:37 doggo!!! Doggo’s little snoot whiskers
Channel suggestion - Manor and Maker - a fun Canadian couple , who own a Chateau in France - Steve and Sarah - they make all kinds of things... Sarah likes period clothes sewing , Steve is a visial art designer - they have really fun events at their home , inviting people to create with them
Recommending solely because i love a challenge. Our family really enjoys Sprague Woodturning.
I have one! Ash Bentley! Heard of her? She’s fun!
Was just about to say that!
Co-sign on the Ash recommendation, whether to Charlie or just people who like this channel
Kathleen Illustrated! Thrifting, vintage, upcycling/creative reuse, super sweet, also VERY cute puppy!
Okay, Sarah Spaceman. Cosplayer extraordinaire.
Second this! Sarah is a delight
She was my first thought and I checked the comments to see if anyone else thought thought of her ^_^
Love Sarah Spaceman!
Roselyn's chaotic house for the channel recc. Partly embroidery but also a lot of house decor and painting and crafting and vlogging. I especially love the video where she paints an ibis mural in her moms bathroom
Margie's shenanigans! She has usually long projects around costumes, such as Astrid from "How to train your dragon" or Rose from Titanic.
You are an absolute joy. All blue sky and rainbows and fresh air mixed with tons of inspiration and anticipation. THANK you for that. ❤
Ok, it’s a little surreal to see fabric I have on your table. Wild! This is a cool project. 😊
I like watching stitchesbyjulia. Small, artsy and sometimes up cycling. I love it when she brings out her inktense pencils.
It's actually soo pretty! I have seen patchwork videos before but they most of the times used new fabrics so I used to to think that patchwork may need new fabric so it's really amazing to see to see you make this also with old fabrics
I love that you posed the question of other channels! I love finding new creative people! I love to watch the thrift queen Kathleen Illustrated, and the quilt queen The Last Homely House. Also With Wendy i have followed for years and adore her way of thinking through sewing projects!
If you love doing patchwork, I think my favorite quilting youtuber might be interesting for you.
"Just get it done quilts"
I love her channel. One of my favorite videos of hers was when she just spoke about getting on with decisions after a reasonable length of research,etc. She's a jewel.
@@KlingonPrincess I love her, too, although I'm no quilter.
Love her channel! ❤
I love watching Corter Leather. Eric is so good at what he does, and really good at explaining techniques. Even his earlier, silent videos are really educational. It's sewing-adjacent, and I learned how to make a custom sheath for my lead knife (for stained glass) by watching his skiving knife sheath tutorial :)
This is such a great idea for using up random bits and pieces of fabric that aren't enough to make a whole garment.I have lots of those, and I need a patchwork skirt!
Vincent Briggs is one i've been watching quite a bit lately, he doesn't have many videos up, but he does a lot of in depth tutorials on historical garments. He made a patchwork house coat inspired by one from the met museum. He's so entertaining to watch and so informative!
Probably waaay out of left field, but V. Birchwood? She makes mostly very old historical clothing and wears it! I find just even listening to her videos while doing my own sewing is really relaxing.
She's one I've been watching for years, great stuff!
I'm getting first day of school kindergarten teacher with this outfit and I love it. Your videos of patchworking make me want to make a patchwork garment so badly 😍😍
4:33 Not really a maker-youtuber, but Jessica Kellgren-Fozard makes the coziest but still informative videos. Love them! ❤
I adore her!
@@gettheetothestitchery I didn't manage to get you a new channel/creator then, but yay anyway for great content from the both of you! 😊
Slow Crochet is my other most watched maker. She is absolutely a joy to watch and I love the pieces she makes!
I was literally finishing a Carly B video when i saw this was posted! I just started watching her and loved it because she has such similar just do it energy to yours!
Also, for non-sewist makers - you might get a kick out of North of the Border, a sculpting channel. He's got a similar attitude toward mistakes and a great sense of humor. I have begun describing my debut sewing work (I got a machine, greatly inspired by you, and have begun doing skirts!) as "not just good, but good enough" thanks to North of the Border.
Ooo definitely gonna check them out - I really want to start getting to know channels outside of sewing, so this is a great recommendation!
@@gettheetothestitchery I hope you enjoy! And if you get sucked into the sculptor-scene as I did, my next recs is definitely Studson Studio for someone who uses a lot of recycled/rescued trash for incredible miniatures and builds!
I've made quite a lot of patchwork or patchwork-adjacent clothing. Choose a boxy jacket pattern, make a chunk of patchwork fabric, and - boom- there's a jacket. OR make a shirt in which each piece is a different fabric. Sleeve, cuff, button placket, collar band, yoke - all of them different. So much fun to wear.
Best musicals for patchwork: Fiddler on the Roof, Oliver Twist, Joseph and the Technicolor Dreamcoat. Fight me! 😂
I made a separate comment, but I add Godspell to this list!
I recently found The Last Homely House. She's a quilter from northern England and her videos are more old school vlog style then anything else, and the vibe is really just hanging out with your slightly eccentric crafty aunt. They're great for feeling a little less alone on long crafting days or for distracting from stressful things (news cycles for me personally).
Happily Dressed is one of my fav sewing RUclipsrs for video vibes and design style :)
Oooo love that and hadn't heard of them, so thank you!
One of my favorite youtubers in the crafting realm atm (that you might not be familiar with) is Mijn Wolden. There is spinning and fiber craft shenanigans over there and I love the creative chaos.
Idk if you don't know them, but I feel they are so underrated on youtube: Ash Bentley ( her creepy backpack creation was amazing) and Vincent Biggs... his videos are so informative! Even if you know them maybe some of your subscribers don't and they would check out their channels.
Let me just say that, when using the closed captioning feature, your descriptions of the various sound effects you make with your mouth and in your environment are *chef's kiss*.
.
"Mouth percussion." "Singsong." "Music best paired with a Manhattan and a little black dress "
🤣🤣🤣
It’s entirely possible you have heard of Sally Pointer, but I didn’t see anyone else mention her, and I thought of her while watching your shorts in different fabric content video, because you specifically mentioned not being able to find a nettle knit. I don’t know if she would know where to find knit fabric made from nettles, but she has videos demonstrating how to harvest wild stinging nettles and turn them into cordage as well as other prehistoric clothing/fabric/cordage projects.
That's a new one for me actually, gonna check her out right away!
I love her!
Sally Pointer was my #1 recommendation, so I’m glad to see this!
Good suggestion, I love her videos too!
One that I find very enjoyable is Candy Tomato. She's a Korean sewing channel. Everything is stitched by hand, which is how I found her. She does primarily bags and other accessory type projects. And Emma Jones Vintage Sewing Box does a lot of EPP and other quilting, hand sewing, and embroidery. Camelia Craft Designs does paper crafting, but she is an absolute delight to listen to.
I think seeing you and Bernadette Banner interact would be interesting! You two are SO DIFFERENT, but you're both super chill (from what I can tell)
Also, I think I'm going to make a patchwork apron for my aunt for Christmas!
Sally Pointer. She's an experimental archeologist and does all sorts of cool stuff, dying yarn or fabric, mahe hats, nålbinding, sprang, bone needles, cordage... It' really cool to see what tools and techniques we believe people used in the Stone Age, bronze age, viking era, etc.
27:02 "Stitches" because you give people stitches in their sides and have an overlarge embroidery and patchwork theme
Potato Fabric!!! I made a pair of PJ pants out of that, I call them my "Couch Potato Pants."🥔
Absolutely BRILLIANT name, 12/10. PJs are the BEST to learn how to sew clothes imo! I made a pair of PJ shorts and they are the comfiest, most wonderful thing I have made yet!!! Hell yeah for Couch Potato Pants!!!!
Ahh I love them! Seriously, why do we think only kids can wear bright colors? I love that my daughter wears whatever inspires her. She wears elf ears in public on the regular. She also loves to dress like a pirate or wear her corset wherever she goes.
I watched a video by someone who said that following people like Bernadette or Rachel are fine for entertainment but that "nobody dresses like that" and I laughed and said, "You haven't met my daughter. Surprisingly, she was a pretty young person. If she had been my age, I could have understood.
Today, people can wear what they want. It seems teens are encouraged to find their aesthetic, although there is kind of an overall style as well. In my teens, only the really weird people weren't dressed in their clique style. (Oh the 80s were great except if you wanted to have your own style.)
At 51, I'm still trying to decide what makes me feel alive. I have an eyelet fabric skirt that actually delights me to wear. Another skirt that looks gypsyish (not trying to offend anyone, I'm not referring to the Roma people but the perceived style) that I also enjoy wearing. Beyond that, I'm stuck.
Great interview!! Tony's kind of a celebrity with us DIY teardrop folks- how cool to get to camp with him and pick his brain on building AND camping in the west!
