@CoconuTacha ....hi hunni for the bags use the heat cushions inside the bag and push the corners out. same with the large tote bags use one inside the bag.. and one under to give it the pressure you need for a good transfer..
One thing if I may say about the “making it up as I go” design, I kept reading it as “it up as I go” several times before I saw the word ‘making’. Just because ‘it up as I go’ stands out more (highlighted behind the white). So in my opinion from a design perspective the ‘making’ needs to be in a better placement or larger and more obvious. Because I kept thinking this makes no sense for the longest time.
I just love your vlogs. You are such an inspiration and I especially love the Making it up as I go design. My life motto. Keep up the great work. Love from Australia ❤
Omg my heart when you say you should get an embroidery machine... don't suggest getting your own embroidery machine just for samples.. its a slippery slope haha
I know right!? The prices are INSANEEE and my embroiderer is soo lovely I just wish I could get samples super easily hehe but good things take time right? xxx
There are embroidery maschines that dont cost that much. But you would have to switch colors a lot. Its possible tho. I have one that makes quite nice embroiderys. Maybe look into smaller maschines? They wouldnt be 100% the same but to have a somewhat matchin sample , wouldnt that be fine ?
For any kind of bag I put either a piece cardboard the size of the inside of the bag or a pressing pillow the same size before pressing, that gets rid of the gusset issue and side seems and such. Don’t be hard in yourself , something’s just take a little long to work through and life happens but you are doing great
Omg the cardboard was a GAME CHANGER thank you! I cut it to the odd shape of the pouch and it worked perfectly ahhh crisis averted xxxx thank you so much! xxxxx have a lovely day 💖
May I ask what software you’re using the lay out product launches?? It would help me so much to layout ideas so I don’t overwork myself and even keep record of a catalog and what designs I have!! 😅 it’s amazing how many designs we make that can be reused or even parts of the elements. It looks super intuitive and I never thought to make mock-ups or layout stuff like that. I sort of wing it and hope for the best lol.
Affinity designer for everything! It’s basically my life and idk what I’d do without it 🤣 highly recommend! I have some tutorials over on Patreon too if you’re new to it. Plus it’s very purse friendly compared to its competitors *cough* Adobe *cough* 😂💖
GENIUS! I used the pillow that I had INSIDE the bag rather than underneath it in the end like 'duh why didn't I do this before?!' lol! This is such a great idea - I think I will try this for my oddly shaped bags & pouches xxx
Love love love the new fries design!! I’m new to your channel and wondering if you’ve considered offering digital files?? I do machine embroidery (in the US) and would LOVE to make some of your designs!
Eeeee!! Love love all of the new things Natacha! I'm so excited that you're bringing back the Fries design! And agreed....making it up as I go! Loving the cream cuffed joggers too!
Omg YAY! So glad you like them! I personally can't wait for the fries one heheh it reminds me of sunny holidays on beaches with a bag of chips/fries and ice cream and batting away all the seagulls trying to steal them from us 🤣🍟 So glad you love the joggers too! I think cream cuffed is the fave atm 😍 xxx
Love all your new designs. I always use pressing pillows when doing canvas bags. I also adjust the pressure slightly on my heat press. I agree with tweaking the size of the tote bag design down a bit. They are so cute. Love the size of your pouch…trying to source similar here in the states has been a challenge. Been thinking about air tags for my senior pups…hearing you have one on Mochi swayed me to do it. Excited to see your new designs on sweaters. 🐾💕🐾
Ooh no way I'll have to try that! However, I've done some re-prints and posted them on my Instagram this morning and they look INCREDIBLE! Already filming for the next vlog update 😍
I second that, I'm a shorter human and I have problems with basic hems. I also work out in my sweatpants and having an elastic cuff around the bottom keeps everything tucked in so I don't get them caught on something or trip.
Hey sweetie 🤗 I am clueless with all this stuff but I know Catherine (Katnip) is doing tumblers, I’m sure she could give you some hints and tips 😊 I loved the first style of joggers cause I feel a design on the back pocket would be great. Things will come together as they always do in the end. Keep your chin up 🩷 xxx
You could put the small transfer of your logo on the backside of the pouches and bags, it would make a great finishing touch and no matter which way the bags are carried there is something to look at, I love the wide leg joggers they are always flattering and so comfy for travelling in too. All the new designs are fantastic so I can wait to see the finished products. Sending love from Devon ❤❤
You know even muted, those glass tumblers would be amazing for fall. Imagine the contrast between the designs and like matcha
I love your perseverance ❤
Always try, try and try again! Xxx thanks for watching 🥹💖🙏🏻
So many wonderful designs. It's so wild to see how far you have come. I am and always will be proud of you Coconut! ❤❤❤
your design on the glass is so low because the pressure is not high enough and with the automated press the pressure can't be adjusted
I've fixed it! It wasn't a pressure issue it was an artwork issue hehe all will be explained in the next vlog xxxx

Pop the pillows inside the bags. Then they’ll press flat onto the fabric. Love all the designs! So beautiful!
I feel so SILLLY LOL I did this as soon as I uploaded this vlog and omg duhhh it worked perfectly 🤣🤣🤣💖💖
Put the pressing pillow inside.
As soon as I finished the video I had this lightbulb moment 💡 and did this and thought 'why didn't I do this before!?'. It worked 🤣💖
Oh my gosh I want the whole makin it up as I go collection!! I love it!!
Oohhh, and the stationary addict 💕
Eee coming soon! 😍xxx

I may look into this one day but I think even the smaller ones are still out of budget for now. A gal can dream 😍😍😍

Did you get a new kitten? 🐈⬛ Such a cute furball in your latest video ❤️ Looked like a baby ragdoll kitty 🐱
She's my sisters I went to visit 🥹 she is! The cutest, prettiest little thing I've ever seen xxx
I love your jumper ☺☺
Ahh thank you so much! I've finally restocked them heheh xxx
Your dads little notebook of notes on how to use the engraver was so cute 😊
Light grey wide leg is my preference. Would it be too naff to embroider a leg on those ones?
I love those tooo!! Eee I'll just have to find out. I may experiment with both printed and embroidered 🤔

@@CoconuTacha thank you so much!
So cool! Love your Style 😍 What program do you design in?
Thank you so much! Affinity designer is the GOAT 💖💖💖
I've used these bags since 2016. I just trim some upholstery foam to size and use it inside the bag when pressing ❤
GENIUS! I used the pillow that I had INSIDE the bag rather than underneath it in the end like 'duh why didn't I do this before?!' lol! This is such a great idea - I think I will try this for my oddly shaped bags & pouches xxx
@@CoconuTacha yay! So glad I could help 💜
Love love love the new fries design!! I’m new to your channel and wondering if you’ve considered offering digital files?? I do machine embroidery (in the US) and would LOVE to make some of your designs!
Maybe flatten out the gusset inside to make a flat surface??
The lilac sweater matches my shop colour, i prefer the design in the centre pretty please 💜
This is such valuable feedback - thank you! I think centre is winning 😍
Eeeee!! Love love all of the new things Natacha! I'm so excited that you're bringing back the Fries design! And agreed....making it up as I go! Loving the cream cuffed joggers too!

There’s a hack where you double print the wrap for the frosted tumbler so more ink is transferred.
Ooh no way I'll have to try that! However, I've done some re-prints and posted them on my Instagram this morning and they look INCREDIBLE! Already filming for the next vlog update 😍
Friendly reminder that we’re meant to be boycotting Starbucks
My friend works there 😩
I think the design in the centre, and the cuffed bottoms because wide legs are tricky if they are too long or you’re a shorter human! ☺️💗
I second that, I'm a shorter human and I have problems with basic hems. I also work out in my sweatpants and having an elastic cuff around the bottom keeps everything tucked in so I don't get them caught on something or trip.

I was about to suggest Katnip too ❤
Put the heatpress pillow inside the object your pressing, not underneath and that will help
It did! I’m so silly 🤣🤣🤣
Brilliant, glad to help a fellow crafter👍🏻👍🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Looooove the making it up as I go collection!
Yay!!! Thank you so much! I can’t wait to bring it to life 😍💖🙏🏻
i love the large canvas pouch without the pink at the bottom.
Yay I'm so glad! Me tooo! I love both but im loving the new natural one too 😍 xxx
You could put the small transfer of your logo on the backside of the pouches and bags, it would make a great finishing touch and no matter which way the bags are carried there is something to look at, I love the wide leg joggers they are always flattering and so comfy for travelling in too.

you can get slightly thicker pressing pillows then you currently have, it might help with the zipper bags/pressure
I think smaller prints on the back of the joggers would also work well :) typically where a pocket would be!
I would love a small business pouch! I have the sweatshirt and I love it!
Your new bags and pouches etc look great. Really enjoyed this vlog.
Time stamp: 25:23 - Hi Mom! I've just been playing.
Everything looks great!
