I used embroidery once to patch a hole in my favourite sweater. It mostly worked!
That's a great idea!
You improved every one of those sweaters. I absolutely loved the flowery back of the lavender one. The shark was so innovative and clever. They are all great.
Loved the "Starry Night" tangent. The less-than-brilliant (thankfully lost) customer can buy a scarf, even a real silk one, with Starry Night printed on it. The Signals catalog sells wallets, raincoats, and umbrellas with Starry Night printed on it. But you are fine!
Just a tip from someone who both sews and knits. Knits don't have a weave. I think the terms you are looking for are stitch pattern, knit pattern, or just stitch or knit.
I would never have taken on a project like this! I especially like how the purple one turned out.
I'm so very late to this party, but damn if I didn't crack up at the idea of you embroidering "NO RAGRETS"
They all turned out really beautiful 💖 I love the purple one with the vines & flowers. Looks like a warm weather evening sweater. 😊
I absolutely love this!!! I think I'll have to re-create the shark one because I really want to see a bright red patch sewn in behind the mouth.
I love the purple sweater. It's one of those things where id love to see it in the wild but would never wear it...? Idk. I crochet stuff and hate actually wearing it. Looks cute! But no.
Have you ever come across yarn couching? You can see yarn onto fabric instead of going the embroidery route. Sometimes its even as "simple" as doing a zigzag stitch over the yarn.
Its not easy. None of it is easy. But you thrive on the not easy! (I had to change up my RUclips viewing so my favorite sewing channel led RUclips to show me you and I've watched a lot the past three days.) Your chaos is just the right amount.
IMPRESSED! I love the addition to the sleeve on the cream one, and also the red. Wow, though!
My son is obsessed with sharks! I may have to learn how to do that embroidery!
Loved this! What a cool idea and so many different styles. All of the finished sweaters look awesome. The red sweater is also my favorite! I really enjoyed hearing your movie accompaniments and your ratings! And your shorter hair looks great!
Aw thank you so much!
Gives updated twist on those 80's-90's cheezy chunky floral sweaters my mom had lol
I call the shoulder holes tattoo holes because they show them off and I don’t get too cold lol
That being said, after you put it on the hole seemed higher than what I was thinking and is in a weird spot lol
Such a cool idea. I love the fit of the red sweater and I love the end result. The pink one with the flowers was really pretty. The bright crows feet is interesting
Split stitch is one of my favourite stitches, that cerise pink is beautiful 🥰 keep up the great work
I love them all. I was surprised how you surged-up the red sweater, my fave. They are all great tho
That shark is absolutely adorable, I love him so much 💖 I also really liked the purple sweater- I would wear the hell out of that. Makes me want to pick up doing more embroidery modifications to my wardrobe again.
I definitely recommend giving it a go! They make for some quicker and really satisfying projects!
OMG, I LOVE the purple sweater! If you don't think you'll wear it, send it to me!!!!
I've been knitting for nearly two decades and crocheting for 7ish years. Yeah, uh... that would be some pretty intense colorworking. Colorworking is my weak point in both, so for me it would not be possible. It MIGHT actually be possible, but holy cats it would probably cost at least $1500. It would take SO MUCH YARN.
You could also knit a plain-colored one and do the swirly stars in knit embroidery (which is different than regular embroidery, yes that's all I've got because I haven't picked up embroidery yet and I might even be wrong). Knit embroidery is less stiff than regular and looks like it's been colorworked. BUT to do the whole sweater would still take forever and be super expensive.
I think what he really wants is a printed version. (At least that's probably the price point he wants, because I cannot imagine any other version that would not cost at least $1000.
I agree with you about The Sweetest Thing! It is the worst movie I have ever seen.
Love your David Rose sweater!
What a fun & super creative adventure! I like all of them!
The shark is ridiculous and I love it. I'm in a shark phase at the moment, and I'm highly tempted to try something similar...despite the fact that I do not have time, or yarn, or any skill with embroidery
I have that red sweater 😂 Mine is like a dark red raspberry pink. It's gorgeous and I love it. I learned how to crochet it and the stitch is called Celtic weave. 😎👍💕
Oo good to know - I think it's my favorite weave style I've ever seen!
Awww, what a cute shork! 🥰
Bat wing sleeves and shark bite cut-out. I LOVE your inspiration and the execution.
⭐⭐⭐⭐
Hahaha thank you! I guess I'm very animal-inspired! XD
That shark sweater is so funny!
I think lighter, old Hollywood films make good background noise, like Singin’ in the Rain.
Oo, okay, I totally need to find a good streaming service for all those old movies, cause those are what I grew up watching! They are so nostalgic for me, but you're right - they don't require a whole bunch of focus. Great idea!
i love these!!! you called the shark tale wonky and the yarn size chonky and now my brain keeps saying wonky and chonky lol!
I'm here to explain shoulder holes! For me, my shoulders being covered is the way to make me warm. Water too cold? Dip my shoulders, tis fine! House is cold? Blanket on my shoulders, perfect! However, I run HOT. I'm that person you freeze second hand to cause you walk past me on New Years Eve right before midnight tolls, and I'm in costume trousers and, not a bra, not a shirt, but what's meant to be a hair bandana over my chest. No blazer, no jacket, I was too warm from just walking
But long sleeves and clothes can be so cute! Keep me relatively warm in the winter! But the shoulders are too much. I can never wear thick clothing, cause if I have to move at all I'll be disgustingly sweaty. This helps prevent that, while keeping me decently warm while I'm just sitting down doing nothing. It's the best compromise!
Also it just looks good to be fair, interesting cuts are just that, interesting! :D
I would wear that 21:36 pink flowers on the back sweater. If you still have it I would totally buy it from you
I really like how the grey (?) on the red sweater's sleeves looks like diamond plate. I also like the little triangles you added to the sleeve on the bright crow's foot sweater. Such a fun idea!
Love the Black sweater!
You should check out Galavant. It's an amazing show
Oo I've actually seen it! It's so good!
What a great idea! I'll have to look for sweaters at the thrift stores.
the shark is my favorite! i love its flappy fin!!!
The shark!🤣🤣🤣
What a wonderful idea. I really love all of them, especially the one with the flowers.
My favorite one is the lavender with floral but I am a girly girl who never grew up!
the purple one. i am OBSESSED. if i saw that at a store i would totally buy it. and i'm also learning embroidery and i do crochet so maybe i can make something similar???????? maybe. the only time i crocheted an entire sweater (it was a pullover but close enough) it took me a whole month (in my defense it's a turtleneck oversized mammoth that i can honestly wear as a dress if i want to)
I loved the white one and loved the two triangles on the sleeve as a finishing touch. The purple looked sweet, the black was nice, the red I wasn't sure about, and the shark was adorable
You have some very good and unusual ideas
I feel like the shark ended up looking more like a whale, but it was still absolutely adorable!
Hahahahaha so true! He's a chunky boi!
Love all of them! Especially the shark with the teeth and flappy flipper ❤
Your yarn buying is like my fabric buying. I just want it all...
So beautiful!! I especially LOVE the purple one!! 💜💜💜
OMG the 3D shark is awesome!😂😂😂
Oh if you are looking for some movie suggestions still and you want to try something totally different than those romcom I suggest the "Missing 411" movies. There are 3 of them: Missing 411, Missing 411 the Hunted and Missing 411 the UFO Connection.. There are also hundreds of related videos to watch on the YT channel CanAm Missing Project.
Wow! how creative! I love what you did with all the sweaters, but the shark is fantastic! TFS 💕
Thank you so much!!
Loved these ... i dont have patience for embroidery... tho i do sew everyday ... frim South Africa xx
you should try k-dramas or the untamed, the episodes are long and not too intensive. but personally i really like listening to podcasts while embroidering :) i'd suggest My Dad Wrote a Porno or Welcome to Night vale in that category
I keep thinking I should get into podcasts more, and then I forget to give new ones a try! I'll check those two out for sure!
Podcasts are The Way, especially for crafting or cleaning. I can knit without looking, but I can't crochet without looking, and I definitely can't sew or bead while trying to watch things! And there are a TON of really great podcasts. Three wildly different subjects: No Such Thing As A Fish (British and hilarious from the folks who do QI), Old Gods of Appalachia (very well done (I was worried, but nah, they nailed it) Southern Gothic historical horror), and Black Box Down (sadly in their last season, but so good) dissecting and discussing airplane disasters (I know, I know how it sounds, but it's really good and diverting actually serves to make everyone I know who has listened LESS worried about flying).
There are definitely embroidered sweaters. You can even make the stitches look like they were knit- this is called duplicate stitch. However, this project would be a ridiculous amount of work and there's no way he would be willing to pay a fair price for your labor. Some people think artists/craftspeople are magicians and like to request ridiculous projects. The best thing to do is run away.
Remarkable. I loved the shark. It was hilarious.
6 Months on ( I just discovered this channel) I think the triangles crows foot one would be fun to bring the triangles up over the shoulder.
I love this idea and they turned out great! My favourites were the purple one and the red one. This could be a series, embroider a sweater every once in a while.
The idea for this is so great! I agree that the red sweater turned out best. It has such a cool knit to begin with and the simple embroidery elevates it! I also really like the purple one, I think the pattern turned out beautiful! I also struggle to wear these thin sweaters though - like when do you wanna have long sleeves but still be cool?
Highly recommend "To Wong Fu, Thanks For Everything! Julie Newmar" if you still need something to watch
These are all amazing! I was skeptical, but I kept seeing the Best Wishes one in videos so I had to click. I hadn't seen the back and hadn't made the Schitt's Creek connection. Haaaaaaaaa! But I truly love them all. The crow's foot one is evocatively autumnal, and I am CRAVING fall. It really does look great already! But it could totally carry some additional pops of color. The sleeve duo is inspired. Ahhh, but they're all so great!
The shark and the purple one are my favourites.
I really liked the Best Wishes jumper and the lilac jumper with the back of it decorated. Though they are all good.
As soon as you pulled the grey sweater out and showed the hole in the shoulder my brain went "It's a cold shoulder sweater?!"
I love all the sweaters, especially the purple and the shark!
That was brilliant! The shark is stunning... I'm so not showing this to kids or grandson!!!!
You are really talented!! Love this!!❤
😂 the overheating shoulder killed me
Try Twin Peaks, also Mannequin 2.
My favorites are the red sweater and the shark!!! I had the idea some months ago to embroider a pic onto a tshirt or sweater but was unsure how to transfer an image. But I have learned that bit now (and its easy too!) so one of these dayscI will try it! 😊
Oh my goodness I just found a channel and I'm going back and binging and this is freaking amazing! I love them all but the shark one really just knocked it out of the park! I am so inspired now!
Of course the black with white words sweater is amazing as well!
Girl love it but your shark..... he looks like a whale with teeth! Lol fantastic!
That shark!!!!!!! These are all so inspiring and creative! Considering my job is dealing with all f those yarns, I never would have chosen those, but now, they are at the top of my list for some fiber art projects! I really like the texture of the homespun for the flowers. The red heart multicolor is fun! Okay, as for cheesy tv that I enjoy …Murder She Wrote…it’s kinda fun to see a lot of actors in their early years and easy to follow, cause they are all the same, while crafting.
Oh my goodness, I should definitely get into Murder She Wrote again - we used to watch that with Mother during lunch!
I just love that shark, living in Australia if you go swimming anywhere along the coast line, you just have to keep one eye on the fun and one eye on the water where your swimming for sharks. Now that would be cool on a one piece swim suit that has those cut away parts on the sides filling one hole with red fabric and put teeth marks all the way around the hole 😹😹😹😹😹 just glad I’m too old to go parading around in a swim suit😹😹😹
Loved the one with the climbing plant on the back that looked so pretty.\
Emily in Paris… for the fashion
The Witcher… cause you know, yum!
This is War. Good cast I thought.
Deadpool. Always makes me laugh
Leap Year. Can’t go wrong with Matthew Goode.
And that shark is hilarious!!
Haha thanks! And I just saw Leap Year come up on Netflix and was like uuuuuum YES PLEASE!
😂😂😂 The intro
I think you did great
I love the garden one but if you want it not so blocky try going up on to the shoulder and may be down the arm 😊
Love them all
Try Praticled Magic good movie
Loved this video! I'm waiting for some of my clothes to become worndown to try embroidery on them :p Love the movie commentary, a romcom I love is What If (in some countries called it's called the F word) with Daniel Radcliffe, he's absolutely amazing in it
Oo I've heard of that but not seen it - I'll definitely check it out! Thanks!!
aww great work, i’m inspired
i love the sweaters!! really wanna try it out, now. i'm going thrifting tomorrow so i might grab a sweater or two
I noticed that all your entertainment choices were movies, are tv shows also valid viewing for you?
If so, I suggest :
- Jane the Virgin
- Emily in Paris
- Gossip Girl (It is my guilty pleasure show, so bad I can't look away)
- The Waltons (If you like old timey tv)
-Dead To Me
-Ginny and Georgia
-Black Books (If you wanted something in the Bristish Sitcom genre)
The red sweater was definately my favorite design from the video :)
Thank you! Yeah, I normally watch TV, rarely movies, but I was so out of shows that I had to turn to movies instead! I'll definitely check out your suggestions!
I love the shark, have you ever tried Swiss Darning?
How did you get the shark fin to go off the sweater? That's cool!
Maybe cross stich would work better.
The Jane Austen Book Club has some truly terrible writing
Haha I agree!
