a crochet vlog 🧶 | sewing lining in crochet bags & working on personal projects

[@missjasmine3366]

Girl, you are so modest. Your wearable projects look even better on you than in the catalogs. You do impeccable work. 👏

[@FefMyself]

Exactly, she's too hrlardnon herself

[@FefMyself]

Hard on herself

[@aliwilson4130]

I absolutely love this vlog. So many crochet blogs lean heavy on the aesthetics and showing sped up footage of crochet. You talk more and explain your process and that is my favorite. I like to listen to blogs while doing other stuff like crocheting and having a hang out with you makes my day. Thank you so much for your content.

[@Morphwastaken]

I highly recommend Sara Spaceman for anyone and everyone new to sewing, she breaks things down really well and she is very knowledgeable about sewing and cosplay in general. There is so much to learn about sewing and she makes it very easy to digest

[@xinestraw7781]

If your waistbands on skirts are getting too loose, you can always double up the ribbing for the waistband, fold it over, then run a piece of waistband elastic through the space you've created, then sew the elastic to the inside of the ribbing and sew the ribbing closed. I made a circle skirt using this method, and, even though the yarn I made it out of is heavy, it doesn't fall down or stretch out.

[@Sapphiressafespace234]

Hi! Is there a video you’d recommend watching so I can try this! I’ve been waiting to make skirts and add elastic but I’m more of a visual learning

[@xinestraw7781]

@@Sapphiressafespace234​​⁠unfortunately I made it up! But I would suggest trying out making a skirt without a well-supported waistband first to test it out (I really like skater skirt patterns which you can find a lot of videos for online), then sorta play with the way you want to make your skirts. I would also recommend just watching part 1 of The Stitchery’s adjustable split-side skirt tutorial where she discusses skirt construction so that you can decide how you want to make a skirt (what shape you want, waistband, etc. it’s technically a sewing pattern but I really think understanding construction of skirts will help with making them.) Then, I’d suggest trying out making a skirt with a drawstring to see if you like that for the waistband. Tons of videos for that online too. For the waistband method I prefer, I have considered making a video if there would be interest, but it’s a fairly simple process. The fun things about skirts is that you can really customize how you want to build the, since they’re basically just doing rows in a circle. I hope that helps!

[@aloudjane137]

Girl I have so much respect for your courageous approach to every new thing, like your "just do it" attitude is just remarkable ✨

[@Onehallofacreation]

I’m always amazed at how many projects you knock out in one video!! Most channels I see only vlog one or two projects in a week!

[@fancydeer]

thank you for showing your mistakes. I know I would make the exact same mistakes doing this if you hadn't! I really hate the sewing machine so I don't think that's going to happen any time soon but this really helped for when I want to tackle lining knit/crochet.

[@clairewulf]

i spent the last few months learning to sew my own clothes and it's amazing how garment construction can translate across arts. sewing is a lot of work but also a lot of fun!

[@PearlMinah]

How did you learn and start please? I’m also learning how to sew.

[@clairewulf]

@@PearlMinah i watched sewing tutorials for a couple months and then bought a sewing machine. my number one inspiration is the youtuber micarah tewers who made garment construction really accessible (though her videos are VERY chaotic) you can check out my sewing journey on my my channel

[@clairewulf]

@@PearlMinah my other tip is to do it publicly so everyone else can watch you mess up. it's a real learning experience!

[@PearlMinah]

@@clairewulf Thank you so much! And I’m deffo planning to capture all my creative moments, I’ve subscribed as well to keep up with your journey, wishing you luck! 🥰

I love watching videos like these while crocheting I find them very calming😁❤️

[@mandiconnell3311]

Same 😊

[@ihaventaname2686]

same man shes like my crochet friend lol

[@sofia-we8dh]

before you started talking about the back crop top I said that it looked better than the books example so girl honestly that was my favorite thing you did in this vlog

[@calliebaxter7870]

i think that black top looks amazing! You did so well on all the projects

[@QuirkyMonday]

I've started doing a slipped stitch up the middle of my straps to stop them from stretching. I really like how it comes out.

[@hipeople9856]

that is so genius, i'm definitely adding that to my bags

[@madimartin3470]

you seem so patient with yourself as you learn. When i was first learing how to use my sewing machine I was getting so frustrated. I am still learning of corse but you are so awesome and creative and I love wating you learn! it is very inspiring :)

[@lenawills09]

your videos are so fun to watch while crocheting💕

[@B3STICLES]

I love these types of crochet vlogs! It's really nice getting all cozy, listening to the rain and crocheting along with you!

[@NottyGurlStyle]

That’s why I had to stop knitting, the strain on my wrist and fingers was too much. So I just gave up on that. Crocheting…I take very long breaks and just stop because I get cramps in my fingers/hands. But since watching your channel you had me running to Michaels and Walmart for yarn. So I’m just refreshing myself and making a mesh hat for my locs. Take breaks so my hands won’t stress either. I always wanted to learn how to use a sewing machine…the world is endless once you could master it!

[@theferger]

I love how relaxing your vlogs are 😊

[@theartofcrochetbychandra3079]

I love how you show and tell the errors and correction! 💞💞💞💞

oh my goodness no one else i know watched that hello kitty show as a kid but i loved it! i still watch it when i’m feeling nostalgic 🥺💕

So happy my favorite crochet/knitting bloger posted! :)

[@AmbiixROX]

Thank you for posting videos like this! I’m always scared to try things like this, but watching you do it and problem solve any issues is making me feel like I can do this too ❤️

[@madlinochoa7907]

I really like this type of content. It's different than what you usually do but they are somewhat fun

[@MaePekoPeko]

I was clutching my pearls when you tossed the sewing machine manual 🥲 I love reading machine manuals

[@lumos_child]

your videos are so chill, I love them 🥰💚

[@tarhabrown8038]

You don’t have to add fabric to the straps if you don’t want to, use a thread that matches the color of the yarn and just zigzag stitch over your crochet stitches to keep them from stretching. 🥰

[@ikoxun]

thanks for the tip 🥹🥹🥹

[@marybethtanner959]

I’ll let me know how that works

[@ikoxun]

@@marybethtanner959 i actually just did it for another bag i was adding fabric to and it did make a difference :)

[@nentendomofo]

Walks in on a new sewer and sees their pins are parallel and the heads are facing the machine (cannot interfere it is a canon event) ❤❤

[@ikoxun]

😂😂😂

[@orianasimmons]

I love the idea of a second channel! Very excited to see what you post there 😊🩷

[@handmadebynashay]

I literally just bought that book, when you mentioned pattern book I had a feeling it would be this one! 🖤

[@aylaraslan7119]

Don't be so hard on yourself. Honestly I think you rock all those clothes better then the models do. They also all look very cute especially on you. Keep up the good work! I'm also starting to figure out my sewing machine so seeing this was very fun.

[@aleinad34]

i nearly missed that joke at 7:43 because i'm so sleepy TT i love your humour ndjejdj hopefully you can tackle howl's coat someday again!

[@thethriftyfawn]

OBSESSED with that fairy skirt!!! 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@twentypaphøniess]

omg (ik i'm late sorry) the last top from the book you were disappointed in is absolutely stunnin!! fr it's soo flattering on you like with the other pieces i got what bothered you about them (even tho they all looked really good) but you in that top ate 🤌🏻

[@stillonmywayy]

the second channel idea sounds great!! I always find your videos so relaxing so getting more regular casual content would be lovely alongside the crochet content :))

[@_blueberry_tea_1627]

I would love to post videos like these but I’m afraid of the reaction from people at my school

[@packnetadaija]

I always love the saying “those who matter don’t mind and those who mind, don’t matter” it’s your life and it shouldn’t matter what other people think :) post your crochet videos! No one is stopping you but you :)

[@Bee-boi]

I’d say go for it! You can always start off making videos without your face in it. There are lots of successful, faceless creators. Don’t let people who you’ll probably gonna forget about one day stop you from doing something you really want to do and could change the direction your life goes in. You got this!

[@ranpoedogawa43]

Go for it! If you want, you can be a faceless youtuber.

[@musicnightlyrics120]

You could totally do it!! Best wishes for whenever you start your channel :)

[@amaryllis2836]

Love crocheting with your videos in the background :)

[@lunahatchettt]

I swear, yt is spying on me because I was recommended your video and I was just crocheting the bottom panel of my first ever crochet bag! I needed to do the lining and this helped a lot, thanks!

[@006pennylane]

There is an old saying: "If you fail to plan: you plan to fail" but what young person does everything right the first time? Sometimes you learn more from your mistakes than you do from your successes. You remind me of my younger self - so eager to complete something so I could use it/wear it/gift it or show it off etc.. 🙃🙂 You've learnt how to use a sewing machine, how to line a crocheted and uneven shaped bag requiring intermediate to advanced sewing skills. So, as someone once said, "All's well that ends well"

[@Sxoe757]

This brings me joy

[@ChantelleArts]

sewing looks so terrifying to start, you did an amazing job and really got the hang of it quickly ☺

[@alexcoop8068]

Always remember to add seam allowance, ironing the fabric will seriously make such a huge difference and make sewing a THOUSAND times easier(trust it seems so small but it makes everything easier and look so much cleaner too) and always try and pin with the pins perpendicular to the machine so they slide out easier! Also when doing corners or rounded edges or anything like that cut little slits(notches) into the fabric before you sew it and it won’t bunch up and will lay super flat and clean and make sewing a lot easier as well!

[@fruitbatfennech]

this vlog gave me so much inspo! also i have the exact same sewing machine and it's pretty daunting bc it has so much capability for different stitches

[@darkenroses]

Seeing the yarn made me chuckle. My mom has a huge yarn stash as well (that I'm allowed to dip into for my own projects) and she has everything organized by color as well. Though hers are in large plastic totes.

[@me9981]

Those last two tops (BW one and black one) are so cool and they look so good on you, they fit so nice. It's so sad you don't feel they are good enough, you are so modest, but I know the feeling, I always feel my crochet and sewing clothes and other stuff are not good enough lmao (tho I was satisfied with one bag recently lmao, I'm dumb). Last skirt is gorgeous too. Well...I love most of the stuff you make...you are so talented!

[@annikawallner765]

Woooohooo, I wished such a video for so long. I really love your vlogs and would enjoy more of them ❤

[@Tempestscorner]

I instantly went and brought a copy of that pattern book the second you showed us some of the designs.

[@annavanderwal990]

I love your video’s and I think I prefer all of the video’s on this channel!!

[@tamarastockam4644]

Hey there!! I am really enjoying watching your videos. They are pretty inspiring.... a quick tip for adding liners, a small bead of hot glue around the edges works pretty great and looks very clean as well. The only thing is you won't want to put whatever the item is in the dryer. So laying flat to dry is best, to be honest it's better for your work anyhow 😊

[@Lindseyszn]

you are so pretty and i love your personality a lot ! your videos are amazing, ive been binging for like 2 days now hahaha, i like to watch ur videos while i crochet !

[@ZheeVee]

😂😂 so apparently theirs this section there about bobbin!!!! I love you subscribed!!!!!

[@ndjjiekkskkejjr]

the striped set is perfection wow

[@-ladyofstars-]

⏳sorry for the long commet⏳ 🧶I'm a day late but yay a vlog video I love when you make these! 🧵The sewing machine is so cute , u should totally cover it in stickers. You did amazing even if u only lined one bag. 🪡My mom has a sewing machine she bought 2yrs ago she still hasn't taken it out of the box so dw both are sewing machine are collecting dust😂 It's bigger than your one but I hope someday I can learn how to use it like you! 📹You should totally make a separate channel for vlogs and gaming that would be great idea. 🐶Maki is such a cute dog 🥺! 🌈21:37 I could listen to you talk all day 🤭 ⚖️Honestly I just loved seeing you go back to old projects and fixing any missing or adding anything on to them. 💐The trousers look great and will look amazing when u get to making the top, the top and the maxi skirt looks amazing, and the last top u made looks great on you. 👑Stay Cool Queen 👑

[@journeyhoreis]

Everything looks so great! If the waistband of the skirt is still giving you trouble I would suggest sewing a little bit of elastic into it.

[@line3452]

No but like how is everything you make so dam cute??😍

[@Maggie889]

Omg I have been waiting for this vid and I love your channel let’s just say I am a young crocheter and I am so inspired by you and by young I mean like 9- 12

[@ejehaminat999]

For your first time lining with a machine you did a great job👏🏾

[@stillonmywayy]

your hair always slays in every video!

[@noj2383]

oo i love this, ive been waiting for you to do sewing lining of crochet stuff ever since you've mentioned you might do it :)

[@bebbaheef]

For the fairy skirt, maybe you could try adding a strip of fabric on the waistband to line it and make it a little sturdier? I'm not a sewer so not sure if it would actually work but it might keep the piece in shape for longer. Love your long videos!! xx

[@LJohnson1375]

Omg this was Awesome!! Can you please please shara a tutorial on the black and white skirt set it super cute😊

[@renaec5769]

Your hair in this video is GORGEOUS

[@afnanmo5779]

I love this video idea !! I'd love to see more crochet vlogs from you !💖

[@taylorwoods2724]

i love all your videos and everything you do!! 🫶🏻 side note: i remember watching a live of yours where you mentioned that you're a big fan of tyler the creator. if you're ever looking for ideas for your themed crochet videos i think tyler the creator themed crochet would be so cool! 💖

[@noodlesoupery]

i’m not sure if someone gave you this advice but when you are folding over the fabric you want to fold it over 2 times so the raw edge of the fabric won’t be exposed! it makes for a cleaner edge! either way you did amazing for your first time sewing i look forward to a potential sewing vlog!

[@noodlesoupery]

follow up! if you want to get a perfect line that closer to the edge you could swap the sewing foot to an edge foot they have a little metal piece in the middle that will keep your stitches going in a straight line!

[@marandaschulte385]

Woah, I’ve been recently searching how to add liner in a bag. Your timing is crazy!

[@marykeating3767]

dude, weird coincidence, i inherited the same sewing machine from an ex in 2021 and i just took it out as well. i am so glad you made this lol

[@jennyb975]

I use my sewing machine for lining on all my crotchet bags even one with zippers. I sometimes will do the top by hand. Also I was wondering about your bobbin thread 😂

[@SunnyBunnyyy]

I think a second channel is a great idea! It’s obvious how all of your videos take a lot of time and effort, so it’s be nice to have another channel where videos don’t take so much and can be more relaxed. It could also release the pressure to churn out projects if you want a break

[@CaptainCherry69420]

didn't see a second of the video, instant like!

[@kenyaddacreates]

I think the black top you were disappointed in, looks really great on you.

[@anneosullivan4107]

Great work. Yes, knitting is much harder on the wrists, neck and arms than crochet. The crochet outfits and bag linings are great. I actually really love the black crop top. I think it looks amazing on you. Well done sweetheart. 👍

[@kyesyn448]

Maybe give continental knitting a go for the hand cramps/pain, since there is less movement it may help ❤ luv your videos ❤

[@user-sf1ut3kg6n]

girl you should start selling i think everybody would go crazy!! love your videos btw!!!

[@Letty820]

I love all your videos and I just ordered the book you used.

[@lisalisa1261]

hey girly, i dont know if anyone already said this, but it will be easier to first sew the lining of the jacket as a whole before connecting it to the crochet. if you copy the measurements of the crochet jacket and make a new "jacket"out of the lining fabric, you can put the two together wrong sides together and just sew the outer borders. or glue the outer borders of the two with fabric glue if you dont want seams to show. thank your for this video, i crocheted along with it

[@lottajalanko6518]

YAYAYAY Ive been wating for this vid ❤❤❤

[@micaela.herrera]

I think the 2nd channel also sounds like a good idea because in terms of marketing the more targeted your content is-- the more likely the algorithm is going to help push it. I'd def follow it :-)

[@syddlinden8966]

Be patient with the learning process for sewing. It is a very different crafter vs crochet, but you will figure it out just like you did with knitting. To save some frustration, cut things larger. Easier to take things in our trim excess off. For the jacket, you can use a seam ripper from the fabric side to carefully cut the stitching, and use a lint roller or tape to pull any leftover threads out of the yarn. You got this!

[@nashingtonn]

OKAY EEZY GANGG EUGHHH 🔥🔥

[@chokingonmoss]

i would LOVE to see more videos of you simply stash busting with projects (im doing the same), no buying yarn, just using what you have?

[@Nuriyya91]

Imo the black strap top you didnt like that much, was the one i liked the most. It looks so good on you. Also maybe try it above a long sleeve shirt. And the fairy skirt looks UH-MAY-ZING! 🙌 i wozld love doing something similar one say that. But i have to ake sure its not see thru, for modesty reasons. I love your hair on day 1 btw. So cute🎉

[@makesbymalin]

It's great you're trying out the sewing machine! My guess on why you got so tired after using it is that you tried something new and focused quite hard on it--that usually takes a lot more effort and energy because you just aren't used to it yet! It will get better with time :) In the beginning of my crochet journey crocheting did the same to me; but now it is a way to relax and have fun because I've gained enough experience to actually relax my mind while doing it. And yeah, knitting wears on you in a different way, maybe because you need to hold all of the fabric/project up at all times while in crochet it can "hang" from one stitch? Who knows. Also; you mentioned that zigzag sewing is commonly used in bags and such, and that's likely true. The zigzagging allows for more stretchy-ness while the "straight" sewing makes for a sturdier, more immobile stitch, at least in my experience. You will likely see a button or such on your sewing machine which lets you set how big the stitches are, and that will also impact how stretchy the final piece will be. I also think I saw that you're trying to sew on satin fabric on the coat, and that's quite well known for being tricky to sew, so I'd definitely look up a video for sewing that in particular. Sorry for rambling, but I hope I said something helpful haha. Anyways, a great video as always :) I love your content and would love to see some gaming on a second channel!

[@ikoxun]

noo don’t apologize! thank you :) all of this was really helpful and i’ll keep this in mind

[@Clary2627]

I HAND SEWED MY TINY SHOULDER BAG AND IT TOOK 5 HOURSSSSS NEVER AGAIN HAHAHAHAHAHHAH

[@ang3latheecreator]

Use should try using the front post back post ribing method, it's very steady and it doesn't stretch😉👌

[@andreaquierecoser]

Muy buen video! Cuando cosiste con la bovina sin hilo, fue super gracioso 😂 Muy divertidos tus videos 😘

[@thebrownyogi]

I have that crochet book and i felt the same way! the crochet pieces on me didn't give me the same feeling as the pics in the book. i thought it was because i was still new to crochet that maybe i just needed to alter it a bit to fit me

[@IzzyFizzy63]

I love you channel sooooooo much. I love watching your videos and crocheting with them in the background. It’s very relaxing. Also what kind of yarn did you use for the black and red pants?

[@ikoxun]

i used Impeccable yarn!

[@IzzyFizzy63]

Ok great thank you!

[@jadebrennard1534]

I also have a sewing machine that is collecting dust and you have inspired me to drag it out so thank you😊,also could you not sew elastic to the waist band of your skirt ?

[@annelegumes2104]

Irons make it easier to sew things down because you can iron the fabric into the shape you want, secure it with pins, and then it's all easy from there.

[@piperamp3331]

For the straps of your crochet bags, you could also use ribbon and sew it to the strap instead of having to cut out strips of fabric.

[@ikoxun]

omg thank you for this idea!

[@Haley-i3u]

Maybe for the second to last one along w making it a lil bigger like you said, I think if you also change the color or even add charms or something blinging even on those front strings would elevate the piece nicely🤷‍♀️😊😅
