I'm so glad it was helpful 🥰 if you have any more questions in regards to gutta please feel free to ask, I'm always happy to help !

Do you know if all gutta brands should be mixed with water? Mine refused to come out of the squeeze bottle even though I had one with a much wider nozzle (the only one I had on hand at that time) and then kind of separated the lines every few centimeters 😩 The instructions didn't mention thinning it down so I didn't even consider that idea! It's a gutta that you wash out with water too, unfortunately the only brand available here at all. Thank you for the help 💝

@@CakeCrumb If it's a water based gutta, which it sounds like it is, you should be able to thin it with water! I'd recommend starting light and adding more until you get a nice smooth consistency. When it's too thick, it will come out in clumps instead of a continuous line. Don't worry if it seems like the water isn't mixing in, from my experience it might take a few minutes of consistent stirring but as long as it is a water based gutta, it will definitely mix in eventually!

Lovely, I'll try that out next time then! Thanks for taking the time to help me with this 🥰🫶

You are most welcome! I hope that it is helpful!

Ofc 💪🏼👍🏼

Thank you my love 💖

It really depends on a couple of factors! Specifically the shades of pink and orange, your fabric and your dye. If you're trying to dye a very vibrant, pure pink to pure orange, it will work best on white fabric. If your pink fabric is a rather light pink, you might be able to get away with an orange gradient if you're using an intense, vibrant or dark orange. This is also dependent on using the best dye for the fabric type. If you can provide a few more specifics, I can help provide better direction!

You are very welcome 🥰

I'm so glad it was helpful 💖

Thank you! This is self patterned, but as for hanfu patterns I have a few book recommendations. First is Hanfu Pattern Making by TT Duong, which is available in English. The second is the Textbook for Making Han Chinese Clothing by Gu Xiaosi and Xu Handa.

Thank you very much❤️ I've struggled to decide whether to voice over my videos or keep the commentary as subtitles, I think in the end the subtitle commentary is more peaceful 💖

It was my first time there and it was amazing! It has really beautiful garment fabrics, I was really inspired 💖 I didn't know they had an online storefront, I'll have to check it out!

@@dreamy_december they do! Apparently they revamped the online shop for overseas customers as well so I think it might be even easier to use. I hope you can get some lovely fabrics from them again!

Thank you so much! 😊

Thank you very much! The skirt is from Reformation, it is called the Verona skirt ❤️

This is very kind, thank you. I'm working hard on improving my videography!

Thank you so much! This is a wonderful suggestion, I can't wait to try it. Wow! Thanks Cathy (& Steve)!

@@dreamy_december Another suggestion - maybe add boning to the straight vertical seams? The fit is perfect, but the weight of the fabric may be pulling?

Thank you so much! Im really happy it fits into my wardrobe well 💖

Thank you so much Jennifer ❤️

Thank you very much! Yes, acid dye works and sets best when the water is kept close to boiling temperatures!

Thank you! 😊

Thank you! 😊

Thank you! This pattern is drafted based off of measurements from a skirt pattern from the book Textbook for Making Han Chinese Clothing. It's a great resource for hanfu!

Thank you very much! I love collecting pottery from other craftspeople, it really inspires me 💚

Thank you very much! The tissue paper method is a great tip 😊 I don't usually use it on chiffon French seams because it can become a bit fussy to get out of the seams, but I use it quite a bit on other seam types!

Thank you very much 🥰 I'm really grateful for every view, getting to share my videos makes me really happy!!

Thank you so much! It's really my favorite color world to work in, you can probably tell by my decor choices 😭

Yes, thank you so much 💚🍃!

This is so kind, thank you very much 💚🍃 blue and green are also my favorites, i bet you can tell from my room decor 😭. I have considered narrating! Sound is going to be my focus this year, I've considered releasing two versions of videos, one with narration and one without! I've gotten pretty strong feedback for both for and without !

@@dreamy_december Yes the thumbnail with your room decor + the outfit is the prettiest thing ever!! Yeah i guess everybody wants something different, I love narration cause i’m always working on a project while i watch 😂

Good luck, I'm sure you can do it !! ❤️💪🏼 just take it slow and start off with less dye than you think you need, you can always add more!!

Thank you so much Deborah. Happy holidays and have a lovely New Year !

This is so kind, thank you very much!

Thank you very much 🥰 it makes me excited for 2024!!

Thank you so much 😊

Thank you so much 🥰

Ah thank you so much! Part of the reason I redid the shirt was that the collars looked too flat, I ended up adding lots more structure!! I'm glad to hear it paid off 😊

Thank you very much 😊❤️ !

Thank you so much 😊🥰 your comment is so sweet 😳❤️ I'm so glad you liked it!!

Thank you so much, I really hope you enjoy the video! I definitely let my video backlog get the better of me this year... One of my goals for 2024 is to stay better on top of releasing videos!

@@dreamy_december I'm one of those who believe quality is better than quantity, I'm happy to wait months between videos because the content is very high quality

Thank you so much! I would definitely recommend the pattern, it's such a nice shape and so easy to follow!

Thank you very much! I'm so glad you enjoyed it 😊

Thank you so much! I took a pretty long break and my wrists are doing much better 💙

Thank you 🥰🥰

This is very kind, thank you!
