This might be the cutest video ever. So many special and personal treats from all over the world!!
Honestly, blown away by the crochet community ❤️
Sponsorship ? @tlyarncrafts ?
omg i love you @TLYarnCrafts❤❤
No way! I guess my goal now is to start a crochet channel and try to get Toni to comment lol 😅
@@jordansanford1568same omgggg
When you’re done, contact some sewing and crafting blogs and magazines so they can do a feature on the project! If it takes 20 minutes to do a flower (idk I’m just guessing), you got 709 flowers and then you make this dress that’s hundreds of hours for the dress! That’s a cool fun fact!
Great Idea!
Or museums!
At 20 minutes each, 709 flowers would take almost 10 days of continuous crocheting. If you're crocheting flowers for 8 hours a day every day, that's a month of making just flowers
Her fans spent a combined sum of over 236 hours making flowers because they love her! That's so sweet!
This is a beautiful idea
HI FROM TOKYO!!!
I SENT THE TREATS TO BENSON AND JACK!!!!
I'm glad that Benson and Jack seem to like the treats.
So happy that my package got a few seconds in this vlog!
Also, I agree with the person who said you should make a blanket out of the flowers in the comments.
It would be a great room decor and remind you how much you're loved by this community every time you see it
Awesomeee!!! ❤❤
THAT WAS SO CUTEEE
That was so sweet you sent treat!
I love that You sent d extra special treats all da way from Tokyo for d Doggos to try. 💖 You are a kind person, wish You a Happy life. 😌🌸
That’s so cute of you
LOL mine was the "unfinished" one! 😅A different crochet RUclipsr liked having the tails to help with sewing the collab piece together.
I was guessing that that’s why you did that! ❤
That’s exactly why I thought you did that😘
Haha that super bright yarn was literally the cheapest one at my local craft store! So glad it arrived safely from the netherlands :)
hehe I will send you money to buy more yarn and send it to Jenna!!
Two ideas: 🌺🌼🌸🌻🌹☘
1. Sort the flowers by colour and make the dress like a rainbow.
2. Make a coat instead of a dress. You can buy a long coat from the thrift shop and attach the flowers. You will look like spring itself and it will look really cute with jeans and boots. And if there are some flowers left you can even make a hat!
Wow great ideas🌻😍
I was thinking long coat too
i imagine she will end up looking like dani in midsommar in that coat lol. still iconic tho
what about a raindow coat ? :D
I think she may have enough to make the skirt and a leisure suit . 💮🌻
Jenna needs to do another video like this where we send her granny squares!!!
Thats a great idea.
Oooh! I can’t send one but I really want to see this.
boosting so hopefully they’ll see !
Yes! I missed the flower sending request, but I'd love to be part of a project like this!
aah im so glad you liked my frog in a hat sticker!! also very honored that benson and jack got ear scratches from me
That’s such a cool sticker!!!
That was my fav part omg and this is also my first video I have watched so yay 😁 ❤
You should do projects like this, involving the followers, every year! I dont chrochet but i would have sent some flowers too! I love this idea
As I said before:
Make a maxi- coat ! First a basic fabric coat ,on that sew all the flowers...😊
7 month later...
And she did🎉🎉🎉😊
a flower blanket would look absolutely incredible, good luck sewing all of them together lol
Really like this idea. What a wonderful accent for your bedroom and it would become an incredible heirloom with an awesome backstory.
I also thought a blanket. It would get a lot of use and look pretty and be amazing inspiration to keep going
You can use transparent thread and a zig zag stitch to sew crochet together on the machine! Given the weight of the crochet you'll probably want to put some boning in the bodice and possibly source a hooped underskirt to keep everything nice and swishy.
Tiny matching flower coats for doggos ❤
Those dog necklace things are THE CUTEST!! And the little crotchet earrings I peeped when you were showing your non-floral gifts -- so adorable!! Such treasures from around the world! This just goes to show how loved you are by your viewers :)
I think this might just become the most beautiful crochet project anyone has ever made
As someone who just did a crochet ballgown...YES! Go for it! It is going to be heavy no matter what, but it's going to be so much fun when it's done.
omg show us yours! (that doesn't sound right hehe but I mean the dress you made)
Make the bottom of the dress tulle that will lighten up the weight
I hope it has an amazing train!!
Please tell me you have a process video or an Instagram page where we can see this! It sounds amazing.
The fact that everyone sent you so many flowers is so wholesome 😭💗
I'm so sad I missed that post! I would've sent you some amazing flowers to add to the 709 incredible ones you received. I hope you don't lose your mind sewing them all on. ❤
Me, too!
Me three! 😊
I also didn't know and would have loved to join. If she needs more for flounces then count me in :)
me too i’m so sad i missed it 😭
Yes ! What a great idea! I would love to do a flower afghan one day. ❤
A long coat with 70s bell-sleeves would look so groovy! ... and you'll have a practical & warm coat for everyday use!
I love how invested Jack is 😂😂 adorable little helper 💜
I'm so floored by everyone's support and generosity... what a great community you've created!
Ooooh Greeeeeeeat.......NOW I am going to have to start MY OWN YT Channel so I TOO can have 700 crocheted flowers sent to me. Thanks a lot JENNA.
Excited to see how this turns out! I love how the community showed up :)
This is going to be breathtaking! I thought you should sew it onto a cotton base - happy that you also thought that is the way to go. Some years ago I knitted a crew neck jersey/sweater (I think you would call it) with off-white yarn and hated it. Wore it once. A few years later I decided to crochet flowers and leaves and sew it on the front. Connected some of the flowers with green embroidered 'stems". Also added a few squiggles (sewed crochet chains). It is now a one-of-a- kind that always brings compliments.
If you have any flowers left you might want to embellish anothet garment in this manner. 😁😁😁 Love from South Africa
🇿🇦 A fellow RSA subscriber
I would love a cataloging of all the different flowers for inspiration.
EXCELENT IDEA!!!!!
Use some flowers to make detachable sleeves for your flower vest so you can wear it all winter
I have so many favorite videos on this channel but I think this is my #1. This was amazing. You built a community of wonderful caring people Jenna!
I haven’t thought it through much but you might be able to use your machine to sew the flowers on instead of doing it all by hand. Also it could be cool to make overalls, maybe for another time. Love your videos ❤
also dont feel pressured to finish this in a certain amount of time !! the dress was sourced from love so only have it come from a place of love like if you dont want to work on it, need breaks, want to change/start stuff over, etc. amazing things come w time :) and we will be here for the whole process
Jack eating the flowers is the cutest thing I’ve ever seen. My pugs are watching this with me. Much love from Florida ❤
I'd love to see you go totally 70s with the dress and do a full maxi with long flared sleeves and a plunge neckline 🤩 Flower power!!
I really love all of the crocheted flowers and I love the crocheted dog collars
my favourite part of this whole video is jack nomming the flowers! so cute!
Ahhhhh! I sent the eras bracelet that I made. It made me so happy to see you wearing it in the video :))) can't wait to see what you do with the project!
Wow, it's like witnessing the birth of a historic piece of couture. So proud to be here.
I sent some flowers in and am so happy to be a part of this! To make it easier you could pin the flowers to the dress you draft and use your sewing machine to sew over the edges. Hand-sewing them together would take foreverrrrrr.
Jenna is all of us, opening the packages for the candy lol.
Hey Jenna! I can’t believe you got 709 flowers! This dress is going to look so good!
I swear my day just gets better when she posts ✨
Your dogs so annoyed about the couch being unavailable. Also those collars are amazing - kudos to the crocheter!
A rug would be pretty cool or even a wall decor like a wall blanket. Could even make little flower pots and put some of the flowers on stems
Can’t wait to see the dress! A comforter, jumpsuit, overalls, or skirt overalls would be so cute or make stems to make the extras into a bouquet or a picture frame or some vine of flowers to put somewhere
What a wonderful and exciting project! So awesome that you received 709 hand crocheted flowers from all around the world! 🌺🌸🌼🏵️❇️
what a fun and creative way to connect with your audience! great idea and video
What a great project you have going on and it’s wonderful that your fan’s contributed so generously. This is gonna be fun. If you change your mind about the dress you could always reupholster a chair or make a headboard with them. ❤
You could also make a flared jumpsuit that would look so cool and unique! I love this look so much and I’m thinking of doing something similar but on a smaller scale so thank you so much for the inspiration! X
I think a crochet flower swing coat would be fantastic and something that you can wear over and over again.
Great idea!
i handsewed around 300 granny squares together and that took me only a few days (im a fast worker for sure tho). i think handsewing all the flowers won't take too long, but the mind games to play to get the layout in your head might take longer than expected.
just my thoughts tho!
Omg this is amazing! I'm so bummed I missed out on this flower request! But looks like you'll be just fine 😜 Let us know if you ever need any more!
This video was packed to the brim with wonderful ❤ Thanks Jennaaaa!
Same here 😅
Go to Opus and get the largest wood canvas frame, build it, attach your fabric onto it as if you were embroidering, then hand sew the flowers on. The benefit of doing it this way is you can draw out your pattern and sew the flowers on before you cut fabric and you won't be standing awkwardly over a dress form having to lift a huge skirt as you sew.
I laughed SO HARD at that ending. The realization of what you've 'volunteered' for is gold. Hang in there. I know it'll be worth it!
You should definitely make a comforter for your bed. That way when you go to sleep you can remember how much love ❤️ you have from all over the 🌎 world.
The idea of a beautiful gown is exquisite ! The base of the dress that matches your skin color would look great underneath the flowers. And like you pinned, small at the top and progressively bigger at the bottom, would look magnificent ! and if you have some left, just do a skirt to go with your top, or a blanket ! ;)
I'm in the middle of my own 80 hour version right now! Sewing them takes forever. But I've had some great feedback!
I think it will look great if the skirt and top are separate. you can make a top with long sleeves or make flared trousers
You should totally contact some media about this project! This is cool as hell. 💜
The dog collars are the best thing ever!!!
Make everything! Dress, pants, skirt, jacket! Everything!!!
709 flowers is fantastic! Its such a wonderful thing to see the colors and designs!! 🎉❤
This video was way too short, I can't wait for the next 5 videos!! 🌻 I want to see more of the 709 flowers!!
Agree ❤
wow this is soooo special!!! 🌸🌼 love the dress idea! I also love the idea of them being a blanket you can cuddle in like a big hug from your subscribers! but the same can be said for a dress 🩵
This video made me smile and laugh out loud so much (“love when you guys don’t finish them…” 😂😂😂). Thanks this was the video I didn’t know I needed 😂❤
This is SUCH a fun way to do a collaborative project! I've done granny squares before, but flowers feels extra fun.
What a beautiful way to bring together this lovely little community, can't wait to see the finished product!
This is so cool! I love that you involved your followers. If you run out of ideas, I think it would be cool to either donate some crocheted blankets, have a small art exhibit, or auction off the piece and donate the money! There's a lot of cool opportunities out there
This is so fabulous! I love this community. Can't wait to see what you do with them ❤
I love Benson & Jack. Those glasses make you look like you can crochet really fast.
Watching you and the doggos open all of the mail warmed my heart ❤️ we need more videos like this lol
I think a dress containing all of them is super cool, however it would've totally worked if you decided to use the flowers instead to make: a matching skirt, a matching cardigan and/or sweater, and matching full length dress, a matching purse/bag, maybe a matching hat... etc. Then you'd get lots of clothing items out of that kind of project, and more wardrobe pieces to mix and match with the rest of your clothes! Just a thought for you, or for anyone else thinking of making so many flowers :)
You could do them so there are heaps of flowers at the bottom and then they kind of phase out / lessen as it goes up (or vice versa) just an idea but that’s so awesome Jenna!
I'd love to see you make a curtain for your background- even if it's a skinny 2 foot wide one to add to your eclectic living room! Or a blanket!!
Enjoy the process or glue them on (although i think that will make the inside of the fabric stiff).The idea is for you to enjoy,not for it to be a burden ❤
omg wide leg pants would look amazing!!!! Btw you are so inspiring Jenna continue being creative we love you❤
I was thinking dress too, but sewing the flowers in long lines straight down the skirt, so just rows of crocheted flowered. You might even be able to sew that with the machine.
Jenna do you know about the technique of irish crochet? This is when the gaps between the flowers are filled with a netting. Then the clothes are lighter and softer.
You could make this a series! And then work on other projects in the meantime. And then a grand reveal at the end! It would be so cool. Plus i love how there are so many awesome colours, including a lot that you may not have chosen yourself!
Have fun, looking forward to seeing how this project progresses :)
I can't believe how many flowers you ended up getting! I can't wait to see where this goes :) Love your videos!
Why don't you make several projects with the flowers instead of one. How many times are you going to wear the dress? A blanket will keep you warm in winter and decorate your bed.
I love how real you are on camera and how enthusiastic and gracious you are
This is such a beautiful example of the crochet community! So very sad that I missed out on the flower request, but I'm so very excited to see how this turns out! Wishing you and your hands the very best of luck :)
I didn’t send you a flower because I don’t know how to crochet but I did start learning to crochet for next time ….. this dress will be amazing. ❤
Could you see them close together so they’re almost overlapping and just sew the centre bit so they’ve got a bit of texture to them? Also saves the faff with sewing the entire perimeter? 🧐 love this, Jenna! ❤️
I'm so excited to see what you make!!! Remember to take breaks between sewing so you don't lose your mind LOL
Dress will be dope but I was thinking of a multitude of home furnishings, a curtain being one with matching cushions!
You could make a matching skirt for your top, a mini dress, a jaquet and maybe a throw for you bed/sofa. So many!!
The color choices for Jack's necklace remond me of Percy the Pug from Pocahontas, I love it!
A beautiful flower blanket and pillows if are enough.
Just came back home from a bike ride.. what could surprise me more than Jenna’s amazing viedo❤the video thumbnail is INCREDIBLE
I found a crochet dress pattern on Etsy that used Irish lace as the base. Maybe a light fabric like that could keep the dress light weight.
That was my zip lock bag and flowers from Australia! Im so excited 😆
My opinion is to use sewing machine zigzag stitch to attach all the flower with each other and you need to press the flowers before zigzag stitching it as one fabric piece. Then you can just cut the fabric to dess pieces and sewing it together as a regular dress, so what I’m saying is that you need to make it as a fabric, then make it as a dress.
This is going to be amazing. I'm so excited to see the process! I'm also patiently waiting to see my flowers 🫠
Just spitballing an idea to you, Jenn, via the question I had when I watched you sewing all those flowers together for that top but never asked, "You do know that there exists a fusible nylon mesh knit, sold by the yard, that you could use as a backing once you get your flowers arranged (on their faces) don'tcha?" It usually comes in white, nude/tan, and brown, at least where i am. One side of it has heat-fusible adhesive on it. Most of the time I use it to Reinforce the knee, belly, and butt area of woolen clothing that I sew, to prevent the saggy-baggys.
There are also double-sided fusibles, so that you don't have to hand sew so, so many stitches. Like, maybe you only want to hand sew the centers, and let the petals be petals ya know? Or sew the centers and only tack the edges of the petals at the halfway point?
Oh! I just saw someone sent you flower earrings! How wonderful.
You need 300 to make a queen size blanket Carlos and Arne has a pattern for a pin wheel blanket and they looks a bit bigger but some of those amazing flowers would work for that I think. I have 150 started for this blanket.
I just found this epic project series - by watching part 2 first, then 1. Great idea... *great* response from your fans, great job on the dress. I'm eager for more.
I'm a little sad all the postage stamps & postmarks weren't reserved for another art project... as an adjunct piece for commemorating the genesis of this collaborative dress project - such as a journal or a framed collage. Paper art has been a natural extension of my sewing skills, and most of the tools even work for both. I loved making fabric books... so I learned to make paper ones later too. Art is expression that's why we do it - every postage stamp is an original piece of art in fact... and every postmark & postage stamp is another gift from a fan. SO, JENNA...
if/when you do another - a coat and hat were suggested in the comments and that would be sublime, actually - please consider the postal art as another bundle of gifted materials to create with. No pressure.
Just Keep Going, you're doing wonderfully.
You can use a hoop skirt to provide support and shape to your ball gown!
A little will go a long way! Give yourself the goal of just sewing one flower a day! This way if you don’t have a lot of energy then at least you did one! But if you have lots of energy (and patience) then you can make it up by doing more than one in a day!
I’ve been following this advice on a huge cross stitch project I’m doing and it’s definitely helped with that feeling of overwhelm 😅
Hey Jenna,
I love your idea of making a toile/ underdress in your chosen design. As you say the weight of a full skirt will be beautiful, but heavy!
Three things sprang to mind...
1. Maybe use a skin tone colour fabric for the underdress
2. Perhaps a top and skirt to look like a dress, (wiith a waistband re weight)
3. Use a zig Zag on the machine to apply the flowers.(quick n stable)
Best of luck
M💕
Make a floor length skirt + short top or a long sweater with black yarn connecting them all
Omg, you could make THE most awesome flower coat with all of those flowers. 😯
Take as many weeks as you need. I would love if this was even a three of four parter!
this is absolutely amazing! also, next thing people are going to send you is tons and tons of bright red yarn!
It's crochet Christmas!! Can't wait to see all your ideas materialise. Terrific.
