Sardine dress is the BOMB ! Would love this!
right?!
Forgot to add a giant Thank You for the hard work you put into this channel.
🤗
happy birthday! I :) love the new format. I always find your videos and your style so inspiring. A combinaton of vava vaboom looks and practicle wisdom. Thank you for being you
😊😊😊
Loved this inspiration video! Thanks.
@@sistertotwo 🤗
Happy Anniversary! I love your inspo videos so much. I will admit that i have a strong love for the old intro (everything about it: the wobbly "still" video of the sewing machine art print, the music) and its Mr Rogers-for-grownups vibe and will miss it greatly. Change is terrible :D etc, etc.
on the large sheer pattern front, i saw a charming embroidered sheer (now sold out at Mood) that was large daisy shapes, white on white outline, but with the flower center satin stitched in yellow, and i thought it would be so fun as an overdress with different colored underdresses so the daisies would take on the color underneath but still have the yellow center. It was $$ but nice to think about!
Thanks for a new video, i love the shapes and patterns you covered--very inspiring as always!
thank you so much, I did love that old intro I was going for a "fractured fairytales" vibe but "Mr. Rogers" works too 😂 I'm headed to NY in September and will definitely be checking out Mood so I hope I find something like you described 🤞
Cute changes, although I'll miss the old intro. Never mind, I'll just rewatch an older video every once in a while. 😉 Your inspiration video turned out really well, too. Congratulations on your fourth!
I've had some success with using freezer paper for stencils, but I'm not sure they still sell it. That SARDINES dress is incredible. Love it.
😂😂😂 thank you Cussot!
Video with button front Zelda - Top ten me-made garments and a one year anniversary!
THANK YOU! that was driving my bonkers!
Happy birthday and happy anniversary! Love the Zelda tunic! The red dress with giant pockets reminds me of a Diane Erikson style pattern.
thank you Kathe!!🤗
That fresh sardines dress is so amazing. You could also get the fabric printed with Spoonflower, if you were able to use a computer program to make the design.
Oh No!!! That would require even more techie learning 😂😂😂
I’ve used freezer paper to spray paint my shapes onto my fabric. It worked great on linen !!!
thank you Denise. Another viewer suggested the same thing. Do you recall what kind of spray paint you used? Tulip?
@@denisehodges6257 this is such a great idea - I’d never thought of spray paint, and now I’ve discovered tulip makes a fabric spray paint! I’ll have to try it.
Block printing using craft foam sheets - you can get the foam sheets from any craft store. Sometimes you can find thick sheets, 3/8” should work. (Or, if you have a block pattern you want to use, use the foam sheet on the base, under the fabric- to cause the print into a cushion to make the pattern print fully to the fabric- just use in reverse as you want a cushy layer to make the pattern make contact with the fabric) hope that makes sense? You may need to glue thinner sheets of the foam together to make the printable pattern thick enough for the print block and to keep your fingers out of the paint medium. Decide on your pattern and cut out the pattern to print and glue to some kind of base material, a scrap block of wood. Use fabric dye paint according to that product directions to allow to dry and then set the dye/paint to the fabric. Setting the printed pattern varies by brand. The types I’ve used I’ve needed to set with heat of an iron after the paint fabric paint dried. Let me know if you have any questions.
Happy birthday, your my inspiration, the pin tuck and lace is so very cute. Like that idea but I loved them all. I would think stamping on the garment would last longer and be more original. Thank you for all you do here.
thank you Debbie 🤗
Thank you, Gini!❤ I love the new look! 🎉 Your inspiration videos are the best! “I heard it’s your birthday! Happy birthday to you!” 🎶🎶🎶
thank you Robyn!! Not my birthday just my RUclips anniversary but I'll take the song anyway 😂
Oh, and bookhou just did a wonderful little silk screening tutorial on her channel you might like. She makes fabric printing look so easy!
Many congrat on your channel anniversary. I love my Sunday morning check in with you. Love the new format and really like the narration format. 💗
Thank you K3!!! I'm so glad you like it.🤗
Re: big shoes. I’m partial to Dr Martens Jadon boots and when I really want to be comfortable, my beloved Vans hi-tops. They come in so many great colors! I even bought a platform pair. The bigger the boots, the closer to God? 😂
@@8531022 so true!! 😂😂😂 and I love vans!
Loved the video! You did a great job with the technology showing inspiration. I’ve made the metro skirt and love it! It’s a good one for using a big geometric pattern, the panels cut the fabric design in an interesting way.
oh that's great to know Mary as the fabric I had in mind has a bold geometric print and I wasn't sure how that would work w all the seams.
Hey I don’t know if you’ve ever tried stenciling with freezer paper? You cut the design into freezer paper, iron the freezer paper onto your fabric, carefully pounce the paint onto the design and bob’s your uncle. I’ve had luck with that, but it takes a few practice tries to get the paint consistency right. It can’t be too fluid, or it will seep out from your design.
@@8531022 I haven’t ever tried that but another viewer suggested the same thing I’ll try it and see how it goes. Thanks for the tips!
I love your new intro and final. Amazing! Next week, I’m looking forward to Zelda as I’m getting this pattern (along with a few others)😊
YAY!! Thank you Cheryl, I'm so glad you like it. The Zelda is one of my all time fave's
Thank you Gina, I am newly subscribed to you, I found your channel while researching the Cris Woods envelope dress, thank you for those suggestions. I like your style!
@@msebik4171 thank you so much for watching 🤗
The Shaw collar shirt...maybe look at the Joanie top by Sew Liberated.
@@tammielpowell yes! I totally forgot that one!
I’ve been looking at linocut block printing. Relatively simple process, not too expensive and repeatable! I know I mentioned the Ann Tilley magic pants to you, I think the legs on the pattern are super convertible and the top construction looks so fun and comfy. Good job on learning new technology from a fellow naive tech person. I’ll miss your old sewing logo though.
thank you Prosie, I will miss the old one too but sometimes you need a little change. You have mentioned the magic pants before and I forgot about them. Looking at them again now thought I think I might get the pattern and see what it's all about. It looks pretty cool so thanks for the reminder.🤗
Congratulations!!! The intro & closing are fresh & fun---looking good :) You inspired me to order linen from fabrics-store, I might have to try the VSC Laurence top---it's been calling my name for a while. AND I'm making a TAL oversize shirt in white linen cuz I love that thing (thx for THAT pattern demo too!) You are such an enabler....
@@BethS-LA thank you Beth happy to enable 😂I do love that shirt!
Hi Gini 😁Happy 4 yrs of vlogging! 🎉 I loved the jazz music of your old intro but your new intro is bright, fun and has a retro feel. Today’s video reminds me of a couple of my favourite patterns: Marcy Tilton‘s Vogue 8499 has pants that I love and have made many times plus a cool skirt. Another favourite pattern is simplicity 8886 the “big pocket” skirt. Funny you should be talking about painting or stencilling, that’s going to be my next project before my next show in September. I’ve done it before with good results and I’m anxious to get started again. “See” you next week!
thank you Christine! You're the second person to recommend V8499 which I made ages ago and completely forgot about! I hadn't seen Simplicity 8886 before and I love it! Hope you are recovering from your spill 😜
No longer have aches, just healing scrapes! 😜
Gini - love your new intro and outro videos! Your inspiration videos really get my creative ADHA mind going! Thank you for that and for the introduction to some of the great independent designers out there; this has really expanded my imagination and pattern collection as well! Congratulations on your four year anniversary!
thank you Anne!! 🤗
Congratulations on your 4 years of great content. I always find your videos so informative and inspiring. Also, I like the new intro and format. A pattern with large slouchy pockets is Vogue 8975, a Marcy Tilton pattern. I have not made it and the pattern is still available. As to painting on fabric, I recommend a book by Sarah Campbell, "Hand-Painted Textiles, a Practical Guide to the Art of Painting on Fabric." I found out about Sarah Campbell through Linda Lee at The Sewing Workshop. The book is recent (copyright 2023). Last comment: I also made The Sewing Workshop's Metro Skirt. Love this pattern and its style.
thank you Judy. I read this comment earlier and immediately ordered the book!
Not what you asked but I'm working on 2 more hinterland dresses with a hong kong finish. working on leveling up my finishing skills
Love all comments no matter the subject. I love that hinterland dress and a Hong Kong finish is one of my faves. I allways use that when I want a garment to be extra special. It's a great way to use up my leftover bias scraps too.
In reference to my prior comment, the foam sheets come in multiple colors and can be found in children areas/aged craft areas of the craft stores. I have used the block printing method before and this particular pattern would easily work using block printing. And happy anniversary! Congratulations! 🎈🎉🍾 your tutorials and vlogs are always amazing and inspiring!
thank you Grace that is VERY helpful. I know the foam you are talking about (for some reason I used to have a ton of it but of course I destashed it during our last move 🙄). l think the block printing is the way to go. Do you have a particular paint you like to use?
@@thebigsewalong yes, I’ve used PROfab opaque paint. Available from pro chemical & dye. This particular paint works with most fiber types including polyester. Google Use directions for this product for all the different uses including heat setting options. Be careful you do not use a transparent paint or dye, as that will color the fabric, but will not be as vibrant after washing or use. Let me know if you have questions! I originally took a class at a quilt convention to learn this block printing technique. It’s really fun!
@@gracevaughn8132 thanks Grace!
For a skirt see also Marcy Tilton Vogue 8499, which I found in my stash. I also wondered if you have made the Tina Givens Norma jeans? Love the Sardines! As a Canadian I have been a lifelong fan of Kaliyana although I make all my own and no longer buy from her. Thanks for all your inspirations and innovations. I have done some dying/painting of jeans - I overdid light jeans in a bright green then splatter painted with two colours of fabric paint. It went very well. I have not done stencils or large purposeful prints.
I forgot about V8499 that's a good one I haven't made in ages!I have made the norma Jeans but I like the Oprah pants better, not sure why as they are pretty similar just felt like the Norma Jeans were a little TOO balloon-y if you know what I mean. Kaliana is the best for inspiration!
Subscribed to help your growth!
thank you so much Mia!
I think I want to do some embroidery on something now...Thanks!
😃😃😃
Happy birthday ❤🎉❣️ So glad you ´ re here on youtube! Love your videos an inspirations 😘 Yeah!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I ´m so looking forward to your next video on the Zelda!!! 🥰❤️
thank you Sabine!!🤗
Great inspo and ideas! Ooo, the crew neck/sleeveless and blouse version of the frux studios garden dress would get close on the pintuck front, with lace in the collar.
OMG how did that pattern escape my endless pattern searching? I LOVE that dress. Ordering it today thanks 🤗
Love the new modern intro oh and I think you meant to say sheer fabric? Or maybe you did mean shear as it relates to cut tin off those floppy things hanging off the sheer fabric 😊😂😂
🤣🤣🤣I did indeed mean sheer!!
Tilly and the Buttons Lyra Dress?
Oh Yes! that's perfect! Thank you!
