Making a LARP/Fantasy Tunic for my new rogue character.

[@GraceWillow]

Hello everyone! A lot of you are asking about the new channel name! I have been quietly wanting to change the channel’s name and direction since late last year. After a lot of thought-I finally decided to go through with it! As you might know, I’ve REALLY been enjoying both crafting and making costumes on the channel. It’s been really freeing and fun! I decided to change the channel’s name so it reflects me & what I do more genuinely. So here is the new channel branding! But hey-feel free to call me “zonbi” as long as you’d like. I’ll never stop you. ❤️

[@tikishark1]

Love the new content Grace. My wife and I were actually inspired by your herb garden and completed a similar project yesterday. We normally travel during the summer, but now that we're homebound it's good to have other projects to keep us busy.

[@beckymurphy4714]

Took me a moment to figure out who "Grace Willow" was, but I like the new channel name better - Zonbi just sounded so...harsh. And with your recent trend of doing and making things with more a nature/natural theme, the new channel name reflects that.

[@GraceWillow]

Becky Murphy Thank you Becky!

[@GraceWillow]

John Christensen oh my gosh! That’s so cool! I hope you guys had fun. Thanks for being here!

[@capena82]

Makes sense to want to rebrand! As we all get older and our passions slightly change, we gotta reflect that! ✌️ Did you change your Instagram name too?

[@tikishark1]

You have such a calming and knowledgeable voice. You’re the Bob Ross of Cosplay.

[@GraceWillow]

Thank you John. That's really kind of you ❤️

Your cat purring and chirping was straight up serotonin

[@GraceWillow]

Aw! I'm glad you like them!

[@punishedprops]

Fantastic project Grace! I especially like the embroidered grommets. =D

[@wolfsangeleyes]

Love the tunic. The hand embroidery is most impressive, it must have taken a long time.

[@GraceWillow]

Thank you so much!

[@forrestfire2021]

I’m really liking the new direction your channel is going in, it’s so nice to watch and helps out a lot when wanting to create both costumes and general sewing tips

[@GraceWillow]

forrestfire2021 Thank you! I’m happy you like it!

[@The_Savvy_Satyr]

The feline supervision is the very best part.

[@sopranohannah]

This is such a great and practical tutorial.

[@MettaKirkoff]

I really like how the costume is turning out! I think you did great changing the name of your channel, I imagine it makes you more comfortable. And remember: to bad words deaf ears. Nobody has the right to insult or judge you without knowing what you have been through. Best wishes 🤗🤗🤗

[@GraceWillow]

Thank you for your kindness and compassion. The world needs more people like you.

I have so much to learn with my new sewing machine! I didn't even know embroidery by hand was a thing >_

Gosh Grace, your videos are so relaxing. I've been here for some years now and I just love the direction your channel is going.

[@GraceWillow]

That means the world to me! Thank you for being here!

Your new style of videos is so cozy! I love it! great work

This is awesome! And I love the new channel name - well done! 🤗🤗🤗

Thank you so much!

[@ISecondThatJSY]

was totally confused by the name change but still loving the content, keep up the good work

[@GraceWillow]

Thank you! Sorry for the confusion! I just pinned a comment on this video with details of the new name.

[@ISecondThatJSY]

Grace Willow best of luck and fair play for taking the leap to to rebrand to something new. Keep making vids and I will keep watching 😁

[@OttyrCosplay]

Am loving the color scheme! As a DnD nerd and eventual LARPer, I would be interested in this character's backstory and personality!

[@GraceWillow]

Aw thanks so much! I'm planning on making a video about her when I'm all done with the costume.

[@thedreadduck]

Okay the embroidered grommets are fantastic. Imma still call you Zonbi....probably...eh..maybe not.

[@bolairo]

So many of my friends are LARPers, and it's something I've always wanted to get into, and these videos have just made this desire even stronger! I hope you're doing well, and I'm sorry that there probably won't be any LARP events for a while! I guess that gives you plenty of time to work on the costume though! :)

[@GraceWillow]

Bolairo Thank you so much for your kind comment! I hope you’re doing well too ❤️

[@baileyblackwellandsophietu7001]

I had to come here to say I had never seen your moth fairy before creating my humanoid moth OC who shares a lot of your character's appearance. I just wanted to say this in case I ever made a video of me in costume and you thought I copied Brucie. I had no knowledge of her existence before today

[@m4verick6666]

Hey there, i´m very interested in the black linen fabric that you´re using. I´m working on a nazgul / ringwraith cosplay and need a rough linen fabric that can tear and rip to give it a super old worn look (but non see through). Is there a specific name for that kind of linen? Also I´m very much hoping that you and your relatives are safe and healthy in these dark times! And as always - you did a very good job! The tunic and overall outfit looks great.

[@GraceWillow]

Thank you! You didn't miss anything in the description. I found this linen in at Jo-Ann Crafts. I just went on their website and found a product link for you. Hope that helps! www.joann.com/lyocell-linen-caviar-solid-fabric/17024480.html#q=linen%5C&start=1

[@charlesocenasek1859]

Grace Check out a company called Heroforge. They let you design miniatures for RPGs and you could create your character in 28mm. You could even do a video of you painting it( you already have the correct paints). I would love to see you as part of the miniature painting community. You would be welcomed with both arms.

[@GraceWillow]

I will check that out thank you! I would love to paint minis sometimes. That sounds like a blast! I’ve watched some mini painters before and the community is wonderful!

This popped up right as I was thinking about making a Tabaxi rogue character for DnD 👀 first notification that has actually come through from this channel in a while because KZbin is a pain

[@KleineKassiopeia]

This looks cool, but to be honest I'm not the biggest fan of black as a main color for LARP characters (in the german speaking szene people basically react allergic to black). Maybe you could lighten up the look with more Details to get a bit more color in?

[@GraceWillow]

I totally get that! I think these colors it will fit in nicely with the blue armor I have planned!

[@talkshushigeisha]

I got so confused when I saw this pop up, how come you've changed from Zonbi's workshop?

[@MettaKirkoff]

She is a policewoman who tries to make her best, she has been accused of many things related to what happened these days in the US and she became really stressed. So she has decided to change the aesthetic of her channel, turning it in a kind of ASMR videos I'd say. No matter what, she continues being a great artist!

[@GraceWillow]

I’ve been thinking about changing things up since late last year but finally decided to do it! Check out my community tab if you’re interested in knowing more. Thanks for being here 😄

[@finnclements227]

Does anyone know why the channel name changed

[@GraceWillow]

Sorry for the confusion! I made a community post about it last night. I just reposted it as a pinned comment if you're curious!

[@au7661]

Lovely :-)

[@GraceWillow]

Thanks so much!

[@ArmouryTerrain]

I have to remember to keep caffeinated when watching your videos as the beauty of your voice makes me bliss out. Another great video, but your hood just seems strange to me without a linnispipe. I used to embroider a lot at work when I was a big scary security guard working on the docks, mostly dice pouches with pictures of pirates, mermaids and sea monsters.

[@ArmouryTerrain]

Also have you always had the crescent moon? or is it new?

You seem a lot less excited about your projects recently. It's like you're putting on a persona. Your old presenting style felt more genuine.

Why's everyone commenting those fairy things :0

[@jacerlab]

because they are leaving hate comments and are trying to mask it for youtube

@@jacerlab Interesting! I didn't know that before now.

@@GraceWillow yeah people tend to look over it and not read the comments when they look like they're positive so if it looks like a nice comment people won't read it and won't flag it
