A different sort of more casual, behind the scenes video! but I thought it could be fun to do a chattier video and just share how i started making things and cosplaying, and how my skillset (and the sort of things i make) has evolved into the person i am and what i do today :)
i hope you enjoy this little crescent shay lore dump haha - i'll be back with a full tutorial next week! (something,,, wormy)

Making that Anna's dress from frozen at 14yr old is lengendary After watching this video, I feel like a proud mom 🤭

[@duhblack359]

Honestly I wish I had this much talent Omg I hadn’t realized how frequent shay appeared in my past I had just found their KZbin this month but looking back I’ve noticed almost half of these costumes/designs

[@HappyHobbies64]

how she made those things at 15 is beyond me

[@alliedog6678]

probably a mixture of practice and passion. if you want something bad enough, youll learn the skills to make it ❤

[@Elfish_vibes]

I can’t even sew and she’s out here doing this-

[@legemini798]

If you find joy in it You might yet give it a try :)

[@nature_elfgirl]

You mean sew what is sow

[@mashedpotatoes4849]

i can't even hold a needle, you're doing great

[@jamieloo4846]

it's not a competition! we're all good at different things

[@FallisLife]

@@nature_elfgirlsow is farming vocabulary. It just means to ready soil and plant seeds :)

[@lesleyyoung5730]

So many outstandingly beautiful pieces! I don't know why, but the "Worm on a string" just hits with me, so funny.

[@zannolin]

it's truly crazy to realize i've been watching you create for half a decade now pretty much...wild! it's always so cool to see what thing you make next and keeps inspiring ME to learn new things myself :)

[@theonetruesarauniya]

Hey! I just love you. I just wanted to say that your flower drese gave me inspiration and a loose guideline to personalize my wedding dress. I am struggling a lot but it will be so worth it. Thank you! You're also getting me back into cosplaying. You create and do amazing, amazing things and I'm so proud of you. You're so gorgeous inside and out!

[@furlizard]

A personalized flower wedding dress sounds so cool! All the best

[@Shazlick]

You are seriously the greatest fashion designer ever in my eyes ❤️🙏

[@QuIqUe190m]

Wow. Can I say you are such an inspiration. Like puting aside your whole work, which is all absolutely fabulous no question there, your attitude and your energy is amazing. I watch your videos and you made my day happy no joke. And what you just say here at 8:17 "..is about what am I gonna learn not just what I like.." that way of thinking is what is getting you far and is truly inspiring. Never change. ❤

[@earlgreydugong]

NO WAY I REMEMBER THAT YURI DRESS DESIGN FROM TUMBLR OMG. Dude i had no idea that was you!!! Your design was so inspirational to me back in the day

[@leliatarasova7522]

This video just told me I've been following your progress for 4 years now and I am having an insanely hard time comprehending it right now. So happy I've been able to see your progress along these years.

[@maryssa_sings]

It's a lot of fun to look at all the projects together and how your garment construction has developed over the years, and to see some of the projects that either never made it to KZbin or aren't up on KZbin anymore! Some of the timeline bits flashed by so fast I had to slow the video play down to 0.25 speed *and* pause just to see and appreciate everything.

[@Blue-di9hw]

3:44 i was not expecting Voltron but i could not be happier 🤩 Youre outfits are so amazing!! I wish i could sew 😭

[@salmonsalem6159]

This is super cool! Thanks for your always great videos and cool costumes!

[@lonnielove8452]

I LOVE that you create whatever brings you joy and sparks inspiration!

[@kacierl0820]

The coronation dress that you made is beautiful! It’s so surprising that it was one of your first projects. Of course everything past that is amazing too!

[@roxy5759]

I stumbled upon you during the pandemic with the Met Gala recreation at home trend and have been blown away by your talent ever since! You are also so sweet and kind and hilarious and it's just such a breath of fresh air to see on the internet these days. If the world had more Shays in it, it would be a much better place 😊Just remember that your mental (and physical) health always comes first 💗💗💗

[@hanako_kun11]

THIS REALLY DOSE SHOW HOW MUCH CREATIVITY SHAY HAS ❤

[@liabrielle4185]

I 1st started watching you when I saw the belle shoes! and then was obsessed with the barbie dresses. I love your creations, they're so amazing and makes me want to make clothes and stuff myself.

[@penguin4142]

OMG I lovee all these it’s incredible that you started so young and with that much passion

[@zmoofi]

oh wow yeah the belle dress and allll the voltron outfits really take me back, i remember being so in awe over your work whenever i would see it on instagram, i think you really shaped my early cosplay days and helped me realise that i really do enjoy this hobby.

[@KittyMariChan]

I love hearing that cosplay was your jumping board into expressing yourself, learning new skills, and developing original designs! Those are a lot of the same reasons I love the hobby so much. Can't wait to see what you make next!

[@Lisa-wg5yv]

You inspire me so much. Your dresses are really amazing!

[@beebedoe]

as someone who is just at the start of my sewing (and youtube) journey I found this to be a super cool and encouraging video! thank you!!!

[@isla1634]

I’ve read Cinder too! It’s so good ❤❤

[@kathoakes929]

Wow you have had an amazing journey! I'm so happy you didn't give up on your channel. I know what it's like to have mental health problems. I'm 70 and still have them. But keep on doing what you're doing. I love your channel. Thankyou for being you.

[@thegremlinstarii]

Cheers 🥂! To these amazing pieces and many more to come! Excited to see all the amazing things your beautiful brain creates in the future!

[@harper.masson]

I’ve been following for I think ~5 years now and I love seeing your old projects and being able to say “oh I remember when you made that!” Keep on making cool stuff!!

[@mooookie_4]

I only just found you recently so this timeline was so nice to watch n see you evolve

[@khristianwright]

oh my gosh Shea you are so talented you are like a blessing t the world

[@gennagibbins1433]

Shay I think your totally rad. I want to Thankyou for helping break the stigma of having a therapist. I’ve had one for a long time and I tell people openly because I want more people to get on board with it. I’m a keen crafter and I’ve been enjoying your channel for a while, it just makes me smile.

[@lillight3301]

[@HappyHobbies64]

[@kritzelnsoda]

You are one of my biggest inspirations in cosplay and fashion design, you are a super talented and amazing person 🌟🌟

[@nairyn]

I've been following you since the Voltron cosplays, and it has been such a joy and inspiration to see all of your projects over the years

[@marinaspiropoulos9558]

Hey, just so you know better help is known for leaking/selling medical information, signing people on as therapists that are not licensed and have absolutely no qualifications, and so much more horrible controversies. Please look into them and drop as a sponsorship, its incredibly dangerous to promote.

[@thatrandomgirl4574]

You inspire me so much qs a cosplayer but also just qs a creative person 😊 love ya! Keep doing what you are doing

[@HawkeyeDarling]

i actually found you through the belle shoes back in 2019, and I recently started watching your youtube not even realizing you were the same person! keep up the awesome work :)

[@BunnyLang]

Yay! I started watching when you made the shoes; so sweet. I Love, Love, Love your green screen dress--that was sooooo creative :). Congratulations on all of it and the success of your channel!

[@perrccyyy]

ive been offline for a while so i didnt know abt some of these most recent crafts! they look so good, and my little goldfish brain almost screamed when i saw the kokomi dress!!!

[@carolinesolomon8488]

I am literally so impressed by your creativity and hard work!!! I wanna see all your designs in a museum someday. I've always thought that you would literally KILL it on a show like Next in Fashion or Project Runway!! You're truly a phenomenal designer :)

[@vinniestender4920]

I LOVE THAT YOUR ORIGIN STORY IS FROM DOING COSPLAY😍😍

[@crescentshay]

haha i got a comment on my kokomi video being like "you're basically a cosplayer with all these costumes!" and little do you know IVE BEEN ONE ALL ALONG

[@GracieLovesHorses]

OMG UR SUCH A COMFORT ILYSM❤❤❤❤❤

[@cloudy_cat11811]

YOU ARE INCREDIBLE!!!

[@simonegardner4471]

The amount of joy I felt to find another lunar chronicles fan is unfathomable. You have made my day☺️

[@donefun1319]

you have such cool costumes!

[@BokAriChicken]

Oh my gosh the fog coat! That was the first thing I saw of crescent shay and I got obsessed from there 😅. You’ve come so far, farer than I realised, keep doing what you’re doing and keep doing the things you love doing! Also I want to find out more of this vegetable dress and mermaid tail.

[@treblehearts]

[@traegic7219]

[@catherinejustcatherine1778]

Thank you so much for creating and aharing. I am wrastling chores and can't muster my pretty speech. Still, I enjoy your vibe and admire your work, and look forward to whatever content you decide to make next 😀👑🌟💖

[@_MARIA_..]

been here since butterfly dress

[@stonersiren]

i remember cinder from back in the day, it was a YA book. if the author is anything like the YA authors i know, you showing up in that cosplay will be one of her top memories for life.

[@j______oana]

omg i love voltron sm i miss it ahahah your journey its so amazing!!

[@hellyeah_ellajane]

Please take this as the compliment I mean it to be: I feel like you hide your power level when it comes to how stunning your beauty is 😅😊 Your daily look (glasses, pigtails, funky earrings, hair clips, comfy outfits, etc.) is cute but really understated, so when you’re in your amazing creations, it’s always extra stunning to see how exquisitely these outfits draw more attention your eyes, face shape, and complexion.

[@crescentshay]

haha thank you! I def think its fun to really turn out for a look and go all clark kent when i take off the glasses - but my daily look is what just feels most "me"!

[@cjrun2422]

You’re so talented! Keep it up

[@sugarcubesisaweeb]

Her talent ❤😢

[@MrDuck-bi8fl]

i love that you love voltron ive binged that show 3 times

[@sanararoeser8776]

OMG WHEN U SAID CINDER- MY HEART DROPPED. It doesn't have enough attention and its my fav book

[@MsBryt2000]

This was so cool to see because I started following you during the Voltron phase!

[@daniellylopes9201]

Incredible! You're a such talent woman!

[@user-vy7dd7oy8u]

I LOVVVEE CINDER!!! ITS ONE OF MY FAVE BOOKS!!

[@lachauntiswashington231]

These are all so amazing and beautiful 😍 🤩 👏👏👏👏

[@JayofallTrades]

I actually started reading cinder recently. I had to return the book to the library before i could finish it unfortunately but i do have it reserved to continue it again soon. So that cosplay is really cute. Sometimes simple cosplays are the most comfortable and creative

[@sohras]

Welcome back from your tough time ❤❤❤❤

[@Biancalovestosew98]

Now I know why you’re called Crescent Shay! Because of crescent Rose! 2:30 I jumped up with excitement when I saw Ruby Rose and your cosplay of her because she’s my favorite character!😃😄🌹 Also, I’ve been creating my own Halloween costumes ever since. My first costume that I created was a 🦚. This year I’m going to create my costume again and I’ll going to be a strawberry 🍓 Thank you for being inspiring, Shay. You’re one of my favorite idols ever and I hope to meet you one day.❤️

[@mmabe4000]

It's so awesome to see cosplays for books, esp the Lunar Chronicles!! I think VLD hit us all really intensely for some reason 😅 I'm also the same age so idk.

[@MyWinterRoses]

I love all of your work

[@nuha_pradhan]

I get really get inspired by you

[@saturn3832]

I love all of your projects so much!!!! What advice would you give to yourself before you really started sewing?

[@lumos_child]

OH MY GOSH the Ladybug Kigu was the first video I ever saw from you!! That's so crazy to me! 😄💚

[@ibun1011]

Amazing work ❤

[@RaederlePhoenix]

I really like seeing your work! I was hoping I would get to see you wearing all of these! Would have been more fun if you would put each one on to talk about it although I realized that would have taken a really long time to film!

[@vermillion7540]

Stop i didnt know you like rwby. rwby is so cool. holy crap yuri on ice too and wthh that dress is stunning. I'm literally crying you're so cool the voltron coran cosplay. I love the entrapta one. the nimona shoes are the cutest thing ive ever seen i think i want to try and make a pair for myself.

[@WhenYoureAround]

Gurl, I think I have the same cherry earrings you were wearing! So happy to find out we have the same taste in funky earrings. 😅

[@BeansOfStarlight]

This is so inspirational ❤

[@salmonsalem6159]

At 8:47 I think it’s a little funny how you said Nighteye and show a picture of Nightwing poor Richard can’t ever get away from name mishaps.

[@user-ij5me6wd1t]

I am always your fan of work

[@xxxSaturnnxxx]

Bro I can’t even pick what I’m going to wear for the day and your doing this like howww😅😅😅😅

[@VioletxMoonRoblox]

[@meldixj]

[@conniefightsback1158]

would have liked seeing all the pieces like an actual closet tour but its also nice to see the timeline of your work

[@StarScarx]

OMG I LOVE CINDER!

[@ran8601]

I was listening and really inspired, but I'll be honest, I kept looking at the Kazuha wig every time it was onscreen xD

[@cameronmckenzie9047]

Your so lucky you can make things you should be a fashion designer because your that good!! ❤❤ I love everything you sewed even I can’t do it though I tried it didn’t work out

[@rayne_fettuccine]

[@wardakaricha7872]

Can someone just appreciate those earrings😭😭🫶🏻. The dinosaur ones especially… I’m jealous 😭

[@thebloodroze1597]

Can we get a tutorial for those Voltron Crop tops?? I have no clue how to sew but I wanna make that!! I love Voltron soooo much! Everything you make is cool, but I didn't even know about the Voltron stuff you made till this video!!

[@MossIsCool314]

I didn’t know you were a lunar chronicles fan!! May need to do a cinder cosplay now…..

[@Olivia_Thompson_]

When I saw the Yuri on Ice and My Hero Academia cosplays I was freaking out. I love those anime so much and the Barbie dresses brought back so many memories of me as a little girl sitting in front of the tv and watching Barbie movies.

[@magicfrog7831]

GIRL I SAW THAT VOLTRON PHASE 😭 me too, me too.

[@evangelistaurellia3465]
