      I just ordered a fitted washed linen sheet for my twin bed with the code. I am obsessed with linen but its pricey. So between the code and paypal pay in 4, I can at least start my way to a full linen set. Just one piece at a time

    Girl, don’t hurt yourself just to get a video out at a specific time. Get the sleep you need and save your work for later. We are happy to wait a few extra days for your videos if it means that you don’t end up burnt out because of the stress and exhaustion that comes with these projects. Please take care of you first!

    Two things that helped me level up my sewing that I think everyone should know about:
    1. Use a walking foot! They are so helpful in getting difficult fabric (like lace, faux leather, thicc layers of fabric, etc.) through your machine. I highly recommend them.
    2. I *love* the book “ Patternmaking for Fashion Design,” it is by far the best thing I’ve ever read for sewing, and has helped me be able to actually pattern draft and be able to do so fairly easily (if math is easier for you than draping, or you don’t have a mannequin, I think drafting becomes fairly easy, especially the more you practice).
    I hope this helps! I certainly know how stressful it can be to have an idea in your head that seems so beautiful, but keeps coming out terribly :/

  • @ZodiacLeopard.
    @ZodiacLeopard. Год назад +2

    For lacey or stretchy fabrics there's water soluble paper that you can pin your difficult fabric to and sew right through. You just dunk the finished thing in water, scrunch it around and the paper will dissolve.
    You can also use tissue paper, it's a bit more fussy to remove after, but still a viable option

    9:51 try to put tissue paper under your fabric and then sew true the both layers, after that the tissue paper will rip and u can remove it very easy, but it will solve your problem. This trick u can use on any tipe of fabric that causes this problem

  • @emmalyneeley6528
    @emmalyneeley6528 Год назад +3

    Just a tip on embroidery, when you are doing a big area of a filler stitch, it is very helpful to line the shape you are filing using a backstitch, once you’ve lined the area start filling, going on top of the backstitch and reinsert needle under the backstitch. It helps pull you thread more evenly so that you won’t have croissant shapes lol. I have no idea if that makes sense tho😅

    My gf loves moths, and once told me that one of her former co-workers believes the world was divided by people who love butterflies, and people who love moths. The former being beautiful and easy to love, and the latter being sometimes strange, but worthy of love. This channel has really shown me the beauty of moths.
    It also rekindled my wish for a sewing machine, so hopefully that'll be a skill I aquire in the near future

  • @jjmetrejhon1743
    @jjmetrejhon1743 Год назад

    Cannot imagine you'll ever see this but a rotary cutter changed my life. It took a 2.5 hour patchworking job down to *ten minutes* i'm not kidding. All your work is gorgeous and the process can totally be therapeutic, I also understand that. But if you wanna cut down on time-spent anywhere, get a cutting mat and a name brand rotary cutting tool ❤

  • @PumpkinSpikey
    @PumpkinSpikey Год назад

    I really like how these turned out. They look very majestic and mystical. I’m surprised that the lace one is really hot, but probably because it’s synthetic material. I’m now a desert goblin so I’ve learned this all to well. I recommend putting tissue, tissue paper, or wax paper of any kind between the feed dogs and the offending fabric. It should help the fabric slip over the feed dogs as they’re supposed to. The stiffer the paper the more it’ll dull the needle, thin wispy paper like tissue paper is better but it can rip more easily. But I prefer ripping paper then dull ass needles. 😂 if you can find embroidery hoops at the thrift store I can’t recommend them more. They truly make embroidering 100% easier.

  • @allisond4359

    whoa, you actually did an atlas moth design! i remember first suggesting that moth in a premiere that one time! its so great to know that you actually did it! even though im switching to a new account, i just want to say here that i think all of the garments are great and i love them!

  • @ap6848

  • @MxchiefMaykr
    @MxchiefMaykr Год назад +1

    If you do go back and end up lining the sleeves, i highly recommend just doing a straight sleeve rather than the same pattern pieces. It'll help keep your puffs in place as well as being much faster and easier to put together!

  • @zeldathemagnificent22
    @zeldathemagnificent22 Год назад

    First of all; super concept and great job! Tip: use fabric glue for little design patch fabric parts, and embroider separate on strong material, cut and use as a patch. after the glue drying, u can stitch one neat line around. no pins, more easy!

  • @ourabouras

  • @Earendilgrey
    @Earendilgrey Год назад

    A helpful tip for future lace/sheers projects, get some Stitch and tear interfacing or some tissue paper and use it behind/between the layers to give a little bit more body to the fabric. It gives the feed dogs a bit more to grab on to and not suck the fabric down.

  • @rj96141

  • @MBohJeezART
    @MBohJeezART Год назад

    These all look so good!
    At some points I do wonder how much Kira actually knows about sewing- but that's honestly fine. A few things she could've absolutely utilized in these intricate designs is Satin stitching and tearaway paper.
    Satin stitching is a zigzag stitch where you put the stitch width extremely wide and the stitch length extremely short- It makes for a very nice stitch to put on different kinds of patterns or embellishments.
    Tearaway paper is used as a stablizer for thin/light fabrics! Which would've made the use of lace much easier :)) Hope y'all learned something from this :D (Love the content, keep it up

  • @Scapeh
    @Scapeh Год назад

    These are all so fun, but the atlas moth is by far my favourite. I love seeing multiple textures in a garment, so even if some of them clash a little, I find it to be interesting to look at. It also feels the most 'complete', and I look forward to it making an appearance somewhere down the line when it is not "boil thy brain" levels of hot.

  • @nanettebromley8843
    @nanettebromley8843 Год назад

    Wow they are all fantastic. Has given me ideas for Whitby Goth weekend outfits.
    One thing I have found that helps with sewing finicky fabrics like lace, organza and chiffon is using tissue paper between the feed dogs and the fabric. OK you have to pick bits of tissue out of the stitching at the end, but you don't have the fabric getting chewed up.

  • @sparklerkei2250
    @sparklerkei2250 Год назад

    Washable embroidery stabilizer cut into strips works great for helping feed seams on sheer fabrics like the lace!

  • @MusicIsLifeChick92
    @MusicIsLifeChick92 Год назад

    Something you might try for lacey (or anything else that's sliding around on your machine) fabrics in the future is to put some paper under it. It'll give the feed dogs something to hang on to better and once you sew it together you can rip the paper off and it wont hurt your project.
