Yes, please.

[@GwensShenanigans]

ok! :)

[@jinglekringlemiller4058]

New sub....... I love sewing channels, especially the ones that make life fun and relaxing....

[@GwensShenanigans]

I'm very glad to hear it!😊❤

[@FromtheMPR]

Yes Please add a vi deo on the embroidery of the chemise! Excellent video - hard to believe that it is your first. Thank you for sharing!

[@GwensShenanigans]

Thank you! I think I will😃

[@MaireColclough]

"...he just lies on the couch being miserable and watching TV..." Your son sounds like he's 6 going on 16. 😉 I would LOVE to see how you embroider your chemise!

[@stevezytveld6585]

One more vote for the embroidery video, please. - Cathy (&, accidently, Steve), Ottawa/Bytown

[@GwensShenanigans]

hahahaha, true dat!

[@juja8706]

you remind me a lot of my english teacher and i love it so much. sending lots of love

[@GwensShenanigans]

Aww, thank you!❤

[@patriciasanvictores4530]

OH my god the pins in the apple bit cracked me up!! XD Not to mention the tub-sewing, and the reveal! Those made me sensibly chuckle :) And I wouldn't mind a separate video for the embroidery! I quite like watching people sew in general, and watching someone embroider is just as relaxing. ^_^

[@GwensShenanigans]

Thanks! I'm glad my attempt at comedy is appreciated :) Will do!

[@McNerdyCostumesandProps]

Yes, please show the embroidery!!! And omg that apple scene was pure gold 😂

[@GwensShenanigans]

I will! It's going to be a bit of a bridgerton, because I haven't actually been able to find as many extant examples as I had initially hoped, but what the heck, embroidery makes me happy😂

[@RhymingMime]

i love this blouse and neck ribbon combo in the intro!

[@GwensShenanigans]

Thank you! Blouse + floppy bow is kind of my thing at the moment.

[@anaisabelsantos4661]

Yes, yes, yes. I love embrodery.

[@GwensShenanigans]

Me too! I'm excited to try it in this style

[@JuulThijssen]

That was a great watch, it turned out so neat and I loved the family cameos

[@GwensShenanigans]

Thank you Juul! I hope I can get mr. Shenanigans more cameos in the future😄

[@monabrielleluna]

Thank you so much for this video it was exactly what I needed to help me in making my first chemise

[@GwensShenanigans]

I'm so glad to hear it!❤

[@aquaaurora2747]

Watching you threadpulling makes my back, neck and knees hurt! Just found your channel going to work my may through your videos ^^

[@GwensShenanigans]

Thanks, I hope you enjoy them😊

[@AnaPerunika]

Loved it, felt #regencyrelaxed. Yes to the embellishment video!

[@GwensShenanigans]

Thank you! I will make a seperate embellishment video then :)

[@Repelsteeltje123]

Wat een leuke video, Gwen!!!

[@GwensShenanigans]

Dankjewel Lies😘❤

[@hannelore03]

I think you did a splendid job👍🏻😍. Also nice to see your family members making an appearance. 🥰

[@GwensShenanigans]

Thank you! I will try to include them some more in future vids:)

[@mellisartandcrafts]

I loved watching this video. Being a mom with a hobby isn't easy sometimes. But you sure made the best out of it, as we saw in the video:D

[@GwensShenanigans]

Aw, thanks! :D It isn't, but thankfully the hobbies give you the energy to deal with the difficult parts of parenting!

[@annelewis7531]

Yes please could you do the video on embroidering your chemise.

[@GwensShenanigans]

I will! :)

[@theculteredvulture13]

What a lovely video! Embroidery? Yes, please!!!

[@GwensShenanigans]

Thank you! I will :)

[@EngineeringKnits]

This was such a fun watch! I definitely was laughing/smiling my way through this! Also, really liked the drawing of your pattern pieces, such a fun animation. ☺

[@GwensShenanigans]

Thank you, I'm so very happy to hear that cause humor is one of my main goals with my videos😄

[@stevezytveld6585]

Am I the only one who thinks chamomile tea tastes like damp straw. Sorry for the chamomile-level stress. Can't wait to see your entry. This. Was a Fun video. Thank you so much. And I'm always up for more embroidery videos. - Cathy (&, accidently, Steve), Ottawa/Bytown

[@GwensShenanigans]

Hi Cathy, thanks! No, you're not the only one, it's not my favourite either, that's why I say 'that's how bad things have become' in regards to the drinking of it. At that point I was trying everything to get rid of that awful stressed out feeling. You all have convinced me, I will do another video about the embroidery & embellishment.

[@mevrouwmevrouw4413]

It does taste like that, doesn't it? And of not being well, because that's when one takes it. Funny I do love the strong scent of freshly picked chamomile. But chamomile tea? It's drinkable, that's about it.

[@GwensShenanigans]

The husband has just discovered chamomile tea and he's now mad for it😅 he can keep it. I'll take a good (or even bad) cup of Earl Grey over Chamomile any day of the week!

[@mevrouwmevrouw4413]

@@GwensShenanigans 😂 Well at least the chamomile tea won't go to waste. That's a positive. The tea can be used to rinse blonde hair too by the way. But your husband won't let you now. 😂

[@claralecorre4402]

My god I love your videos ! The "pulling the thread" moment was very reminiscent of my own experience with linen ..

[@GwensShenanigans]

Thanks! Hyperfocus ftw😄

[@mevrouwmevrouw4413]

Loved the video. You're getting stronger and stronger in telling a visual narrative. Really enjoyed it, and it made me laugh so much. Even resoritng to drinking chamomile tea? 😂 Do recognise the not being able to let stress go once its not 'needed' anymore.

[@mevrouwmevrouw4413]

And yes, would love a video about the embroidery.

[@GwensShenanigans]

Right? So annoying! You should feel all relaxed and accomplished and instead your feeling fretty(is that a word?) and hunted.

[@mevrouwmevrouw4413]

@@GwensShenanigans indeed! Would that be inertia of the neurodiverse brain? Or is it a "normal" thing?

[@mevrouwmevrouw4413]

@@GwensShenanigans I do like fretty as a word. Let's just make it so.

[@GwensShenanigans]

I mean, looking at it from a hunter-gatherer perspective it would make sense that right after the hunt the adrenaline still lingers in the body, but the next day? And the day after that? Whyyyyy?

[@gayezimhuycke]

I have just discovered the Zen of thread pulling. I’m making my first shift. Thanks for the example.

[@GwensShenanigans]

Isn't it great? I used to hate it, but now it's like a game to me, see how far I can get it before the thread snaps. Great fun!

[@Rotten_Ralph]

I’d like to see the embroidery you choose to add

[@GwensShenanigans]

On it!😊

[@juja8706]

6:36 can you do a tutorial on how to do this?

[@GwensShenanigans]

Well there are a few tutorials on eyelet sewing already, so I'm not sure if me making another one would be such a useful addition? Check out the tutorials by Juul Thijssen and Daisy Viktoria, for instance..

[@juja8706]

@@GwensShenanigans i will check them out! thank you so muchhh
