No worries, friend! When you put yourself out there, it is an expectation to receive questions. I have wide shoulders and I am busty - 44 inches at bust apex and I typically get an xl in Walmart/target/Hanes type brands tops. I made this in the XL size for the oversized comfiness, but easily could have gotten away with the large. Hope that helps and best of luck!

Thanks for the information! I usually wear a size 20 or 22 in the US, but it's mainly because of my stomach and hips. It looks like the XL size will fit, but I'll baste it first!! 🙂

@@zooksgardennook-gardeningi6740 basing is a great idea!

At least by me, the summer hats tend to show up in the early spring. Best of luck finding something that will work for you. Thanks for watching! 🧡

@@robinlarsendiy Thank you for coming up with such good ideas!

Thank you much! I'm sure your natural hair will look so much better than a wig. I wish I had enough hair that I could, too.

Hi there, and welcome! Honestly, most of my cosplays get worn for an event or two then go into long term storage for potential future use. But anything Ren Fair or Pirate, I love making pieces that are mix and match so that I can get as many wears out of them as possible. My local fair is 8 weekends, plus my husband and I love to go back to his home states fair, so we get a lot of use out of them. It is almost like just having a second wardrobe. Then my Winnie Sanderson Cosplay is one that just lives in an easily accessible place in my closet and is my go to for most costumed events. Thanks so much for dropping by.🎃

@KahoriFutunaka 💀👹🎃Puns are always welcome here! I get having an "ich" for an item of clothes. For me, it's very specifically knee-length skirts because of parochial high-school regs. It still gives me flashbacks of my 10th grade english teacher doing hem checks.

@@robinlarsendiy Hem checks? Did you go to school on a 1920's beach?! XD

@@KahoriFutunaka HAHAHAHAHA! Some days it did feel like it. Skirt hems had to be touching the ground while in an upright kneeling position.

Thank you so much! We are safe and sound and increadibly lucky. 🧡

Great Question! Maybe I will adress this one as a short or something. This can happen, and it can happen where it doesn't release with heat when first ironed. BUT if that does happen it comes out in the laundry. I have only had it happen to my mom once and we went on a deep dive with the science of heat reative ink. The thing that makes them misbehave is being exposed to prolonged UV light. The uv rays and slight temperature differece from sun light particularly alters the molecular structor of the ink. To prevent this from happening I store my temperature sensitive pens in a drawer and make sure they don't live in my pen/sissor cup. I always reccoment doing a test run of a pen on the fabric you are using. Hope that helps!

@@robinlarsendiy oh wow! Thank you for the comprehensive answer! I would definitely appreciate this being mentioned in a video, as I am in constant self-doubt 😅 Thank you for your reply, and what a fantastic coat! Incredible work ❣

Black, navy and red would look amazing together! But I am always partial to Orange, LOL!

Yes!!! The conection!! I love that you found a thread to tie you to your great Grandmother. My grandmother taught me to quilt and still at 92, she sits with the very first quilt she taught me while making. They may be chunks of fabric to someone else, but to us they are stories.

Thank you! Cheers!

I am so glad I am not a lone on this one! 🎃

My thing is if the quilt is in such bad shape you wont use it then its too fragile to cut use as a coat. And if its whole, then why not just keep using it as a quilt? I have so many comfy, beautiful, warm quilts in my house between some hand me downs of my great grandmothers and my moms 30 years of quilting, even if i have guests or im sick, im never shosh a clean warm nights sleep. And now Im quilting. I cant turn perfectly functional quilts into a jacket i would hardly ever wear. Now making blocks to turn into a quilt. That makes sense to me. 😂

Love it!

Thanks!

Thanks! I have to admit, if you haven't quilted, it is a whole rabbit hole you could potentially go down... 🤣

What a wonderful idea. I love hexie's, I bet it came out beautiful!

Aww, thank you!!

Wonderful!

this one really is a jiffy!

Hobby Lobby sells scrap bags by the pound!

Thanks so much! Autumn is my favorite too, and I would live in it all year if I could somehow manage it. Thanks for watching 🎃🎃

Yes yes a thimble

Thank you 🤗

Thank you so much!

Thanks so much, you should go fir it! They are so comfy bc the denim has so stretch to it, making them my go to favorites!

I will have to check it out, thanks for the recommendation.

The belt buckle is by a vendor on amazon named Mythrojan. There is a link to his shop in the video description but I don't know if she still makes that exact one. Couldn't hurt to reach out and ask... Otherwise you could try something like this.... amzn.to/4civKIN or amzn.to/3WH5jXv Best of luck on your belt hunt!!!

My pleasure 😊

aww, thanks so much!

Aww, thank! Redd really is a minor character and if you aren't a park goer, wouldn't even think of her. I am a park rat, so even the minor characters are special to me. 🏴‍☠️🦜

Welcome! I am so glad you are enjoying the content. Morgana is another great one 🦇🦇🎃👻

Hi there friend! Thanks so much for watching. For myself, I make a size 18 and have a 45 inch bust. I always find that it is easier to select my Simplicity and McCalls patterns by that measurement because it is my widest point and then take it in where it needs to. Trial and error. BUT that is not the case for everyone and every brand pattern. If you look on the pattern back, there is a chart that shows you yardage. Down at the bottom of the charts, there is a list of finished sizes. You want to aim for somewhere in between the "Yardage size" at the top and the "Finished size" depended on how much "ease" or wiggle room you want. Take these overalls for instance. the waistband is supposed to sit at your natural waist. You wouldn't want the ease of a pair of jeans to be too much more than an inch. So if your natural waist is 32 you want to make the size that indicates the finished size is 33 or somewhere in that ballpark. Mock ups are essential to getting it right. You can make adjustments directly on your mockup, then use the mock up as your new pattern pieces. I hope that helps! Best of luck to you 🧡

@@robinlarsendiy Thank you for your help

thanks!

Oh, what at great idea!! I hope it works out <3

best of luck, friend!
