Just gotta say… I believe I know where you got those mixing bowls from… I used to work there in their design department and I TOLD THEM to make it either rainbow or mix it up and they said no 🙄 Hearing Kelsey saying what she did just made me feel so justified. Great video BTW!!

[@mercedes5055]

I think I remember her updating on her instagram that an episode will be coming!

[@karinedesfosses3678]

Hey basement is her landing (walk-in closet), bathroom and bedroom...it's already made over. Unless you meant that landing spot? But I would love to see a second part to the kitchen too :)

[@evrbeen2tx]

@@karinedesfosses3678 I think she meant Becky’s basement! Becky has a basement that she rarely rarely shows us-I think she mostly uses it for storage atm! She’s done one episode where she organizes it and she has done an episode where she wallpapers the stairway down to the basement, but I think that’s the most Reno she’s done down there!

[@Penguinandpear]

Becky, when sewing stretchy fabric you should sew with a zig zag stitch. This will give you the stretchy hem you’re looking for without stretching the fabric out of shape.

[@carleyr4081]

Ahh thank you for this!

[@bernsky]

even better if you use a double needle.

[@Penguinandpear]

@@bernsky my point is, it’s not necessary. Yes you’ll get better results using a double needle, walking foot or even better a cover stitch machine but for someone like Becky who only alters clothes now and again all the extras are unnecessary. For what Becky was doing, she’d have got a good end result using just a zig zag stitch. For anyone new to sewing this is what I advise, sewing can get expensive real quick and you don’t need most of the extras. This is what I teach beginners on my channnel.

[@Iwastoolatetochangemyhandle]

Thank you very much, I was wanting do make the sweater and i have a sewing machine that cannot handle the stretched fabric. I will definitely use this trick

[@seasonallyproductive]

Oh please don't stretch when sewing stretchy fabrics! That's how you get a wavy, stretched out hem. You want to use a zigzag stitch and let the fabric feed through evenly.

[@WhereIsMyOtherShoe]

Also hem with elastic!

[@Chocodi1e]

You can also use a stretch stitch if your machine has one :)

[@Iiterally]

Thank you so much for this tip! I would’ve done a very expensive mistake haha

[@sssssadieeeee]

I was going to comment the same thing!

[@hollypaddock105]

I was cringing the whole time she sewed it!

[@TalynG]

For hemming sweaters like that you should used a walking foot with a zigzag stitch and not stretch the fabric

[@tigerbuchman4099]

the 3 stitch zig zag yes, a regular zigzag always makes things messy.

[@TharnsGirl]

I'm glad I'm not the only one who yelled at her for that, haha.

[@sokken_4464]

Maybe even insert an elastic to make it hug the body more

[@Julie-vt7jf]

having the foam under the chair was a really smart idea! i didn't think about that and now I will remember this forever!

[@Koboldmensch]

For the first one: there is mould (?) release spray, just adds a couple bucks, and definetly worth it, rough bowls can be hard as heck to remove. Looks great anyways!

[@luciferchristmas6479]

I make concrete planters and I just spray my molds with cooking spray and they pop right out

[@k.k.4530]

@@luciferchristmas6479 True, simple oil from the kitchen will do the job just fine.😉

[@thrifty_wifemomma_of2331]

You could use restaurant professional mixing bowls for a lot larger mold too!

[@zEli-my9tn]

One of my fave series... always so inspiring and makes everything reachable and AFFORDABLE

[@vernieplummer5148]

Becky, while pulling on the sweater while you're sewing the hem will allow the thread to stretch to that point when you wear it, there's a better way. Usually we use a stretchy stitch when sewing knit fabric, like a zigzag. That will let the hem stretch to the full width of the fabric without breaking. Fun video, keep up the good work.

[@mariannerady1137]

The way you made the cusion thicker was SO clever! Great job, love the chair so much

[@quinnd6273]

Becky looking confident and beautiful in that thrifted RR outfit!!

[@CanadianDot]

Did you guys make sure that the concrete you were using was appropriate for making a fire bowl? I’ve seen stuff where inappropriate concrete has, like, exploded because it got too hot in a fire pit.

[@KL-ol8xf]

Yeah I’m really curious if it is fire safe and how long it actually lasts outside/in rain etc because I’m considering making it

[@meghanely7768]

I feel like they need a safety consultant or something bc I've seen so many comments the past few videos asking is that project dealing with fire/electricity/food safe? It's a concerning pattern to me

[@nitzeart]

Omg that is true! They have been doing some diys lately that might be safety hazards and I'm worried too. Maybe they should hire a safety consultant

[@eskimoki9630]

The ethanol in the can is burning, I don’t think the concrete should get hot… I mean, the cans are what you use in indoor catering. It should be safe. Shouldn’t it?

[@Beaverthing]

The fuel source shown here burns a lot cooler than a wooden fire. So there's no risk of explosions or other safety concerns.

[@zEli-my9tn]

The way Becky says "That cost how mUch?" is so iconic...lurrrrvvv it

[@Shimezu]

Sewing tip from a fashion designer: Use safety pins to fit your garments! It doesn't fall out, or poke you like straight sewing pins would!!

[@AKaq-iv3nt]

Ugh so smart .... didn't think about it :)

[@tenleyfrederick5219]

Quilters do this! And they use a latch hook or a crochet hook to open/close lots of safety pins so they don’t mess up your fingers

[@k.k.4530]

Priming the bowls with oil before inserting the cement helps with getting them out easier later. Worst-case scenario is that the cement bowl breaks, because you used to much force to get it out or the mold and the bowl can't be separated at all.

[@abigailpyke5955]

For the sweater, to reduce bulk, you could have done a zigzag to stop fraying and a single fold (rather than a rolled/double fold)! A thought for next time.

[@robynw6307]

Or no fold at all and just zigzag the edge.

[@BridgetJillBilledo]

"That costs how MUCH?!" series is so good!

[@-ParisTexas-]

Wow! That Fire Bowl is amazing. Now I want one!

[@LeahMargaret]

You shouldn’t stretch knits when sewing. That will stretch it out and it will lose its shape. You need to use a zigzag, overstitch or coverstich.

[@swiinka]

My thoughts exactly! And we can even see how out of shape the sweater is on her later. I'd even go as far as adding some elastic to that hem.

[@SmartyPoohBear]

Aah, so that's why the front looks so loose in the final result.

[@carlyh6913]

I love the cropped jumper with the bell sleeves, and however impractical, I love the holey jeans 🖤🖤🖤

[@chelseadoll6269]

I'm obsessed with Kelsey's fire bowl! Omg, how gorgeous!! And Becky absolutely slayed that fashion dupe!

[@nanastrippin2006]

The chair turned out cute, though I believe you could also have cut a second piece of plywood and added it to the bottom foam and then stapled the fabric to that board, pulling it taught, which might create a cleaner fit and look, but good job!! Love your channel 💝

[@violethoffermobilehomemove9189]

The fire bowl, was so cool. I been wanting one, so I gotta try it.

[@covenof2]

I love yall so much. I love this DIY. But every time you say a fabric is "made of sherpa" I cringe so hard. Maybe one day you'll see my comment. Yet again: It's just faux-sheepskin. The Sherpa are an ethnic group. Some of their traditional clothing was the inspiration for the "Sherpa coat/jacket" trend, which used faux sheepskin, and since then there has been increasing confusion about what a Sherpa is. You see now why "made of Sherpa" is weird? That's like saying "This British-style coat is made of British."

[@michellemoro1716]

Unpopular opinion: thread up is actually really expensive. Like a tank top for 7 bucks? I can get one at the mall for $2-4 when there are sales

[@DanylRo]

Agreed. Your first order is the only good one because of the discount.

[@rebeccametcalf4448]

The point of thread up and places like it are not necessarily because they're cheaper, but that they don't contribute to fast fashion.

[@nittygritty7034]

Part of the appeal is being able to filter by style and getting to shop second hand. That said, I noticed their prices go up when you have an account. 😳

[@spiceandmice9135]

I'd rather buy second hand but threadup is more expensive than any of the secondhand stores near me. I'd only use it if I was really desperate to thrift clothes (it's only clothes/accessories, right?) during the pandemic and I'm just... not

[@patsykiniry3564]

fr its so much more expensive than a normal thrift store and there's no way to know if it'll fit

[@frenchfan1278]

I think without thick foam on a top it would work better ( added foam on a bottom only) . Or you could’ve add some bendable wood strip around the existing wood base for a seat and upholster the whole piece. And regarding real shearling - a lot of it in thrift stores.

[@varsha8591]

That was really smart.. what Becky did with the chair. I was thinking she will cut the bottom rod and fix it lower.. super tips!
