21:55 - ironing fabric is really the most torturous mundane thing in sewing but ohh but its so worth it when you see your project so pretty and perfect. loving all your sewn things! theyre beautifullll
These guys make brilliant Christmas gifts! I made a whole pile of the them last year for all of the members of my son’s high school DND club. They were a huge hit and not terribly expensive (i was able to use larger scraps from previous projects). But i love the little adjustments that you made… if i made more, I’d most def follow your tips.
I actually just finished up making a dice bag for my partner for Christmas because your video inspired me to do so! Your video was very helpful and your creativity is infectious
Hey Chey, WRT the bobbin thread of your sewing machine. Double check that you have threaded the top thread properly. It could be that your top thread tension is not correct, it might be too tight and that's why it might seem your bobbin thread is off. If you still have your user manual for the machine, double check that you have threaded it like the diagram shows. Sometimes if the top thread isn't threaded through all the different do-bobs and hooks it messes up the tension. Yeah, then double check that you are also threading the bobbin thread properly too. I am inclined to think it's your top thread tension. Always check your tension on scrap before starting a new project. You might have (or maybe Pepper?) changed the tension knob above the needle along the top without realizing it. One trick I can share that will help you with turning? After you finish stitching, but before you actually turn the circle, you want to press-fold the seam allowance with your iron. You only want to press fold one side, not both seam allowances. What this does is "score" the fabric (for one of the circles) along the stitching line, so when you turn it it's a LOT easier to press. This is a tailoring trick that once you do, you will wonder how you did it any other way. Of course because you are working with a circle it's going to seem awkward to press, but just place the point of the iron in between the seam allowances and press only one side back (or down toward the center of the circle). When you turn the circle right-sides out, it should make ironing flat the outer seam of the circle easier. Then you top stitch and away you go. I hope that this makes sense! Cheers!
OHHHH the turning trick does make sense!! I did also read that using pinking shears along the seam allowance can help a bunch with bulk, but I like this pressing idea a bit better. I'll give it a go next time :D Thank you for the wisdom!! And I will double check my top thread tension too o7
My bobbin thread would always get a little messed up at the end as well, and I figured out what I just need to do is turn the wheel until the needle is fully up. Because that finishes your top thread picking up the bottom thread, if that makes sense. These dice bags are so cute, I need to make some asap.
THE COLOR SWATCHING TRICK. OMG. Truly had to pause the video and immediately comment bc I've been trying to figure out how to adjust the color palettes and AHHHH. Also I LOVE Milanote but did not know so many of these things, what a lovely ad!
A tip I’ve used for preventing that puckering with eyelets/grommets is to cut the opening of the fabric in sort of a star shape so it leaves more room for overlap during hammering
💕Having an affectionate kitty is both a blessing and a curse 🤣🤣 My lovely boys love to get attention whenever I press the record button. But I can't deny the camera loves them!
As boring as it might be, I highly recommend researching the care and keeping/mechanical workings of your specific sewing machine. Knowing the ~idiosyncrasies~ of your individual sewing machine will make sewing with it so much more enjoyable and easier. Same advice for bobbins and bobbin tension especially. I nearly quit using my sewing machine altogether until I finally addressed bobbin tension and... it solved so many issues. Now machine sewing is so much better. Also, you can have the most perfect circle template and somehow it never ends up being a circle in the end. It's just a universal curse lmao.
i did find a much better way of drawing more consistent big circles, but the human touch will always prevent them from being perfect :’) and thanks for the advice!! I’ll study up on my Brother - I got it for $20 off FB marketplace in 2020 and never took the time to get to know it 😅
@@cheyennebarton Also, don't forget to clean out the lint that accumulates in side the machine, by the laser, and around the bobbin, that can affect your stitches too!
I actually started to use Milanote because of Linh Troung and I have loved it so much I make mood boards and action boards to accomplish my goals of moving to an apartment independently someday and work on small life skills goals as well
Almost felt like I shouldn't comment because you had 69 comments perfectly, but I wanted to say I enjoyed the video (as always!) and especially seeing you explore and try new things :3 reminds me its not as scary as it often seems! ❤❤
Hey, Cheyenne! Hope you're well 🩷 loved the ad and it really helped my partner with his D&D campaign! I was wondering where did you draw the map? Thank you 🥰
it’s a wool ironing mat !! they sell them in loads of places around the net, I got mine off Amazon, but Olisio makes some that snap together, which I wish i had gotten 🤧 Wool mats usually don’t run bigger than 18x24” so the snapping together would be v handy: oliso.com/products/felt-pressing-multimat?variant=41354579542154¤cy=USD&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwu-63BhC9ARIsAMMTLXSHPNhQ9WS4JvPE9Rj38w_souqPkXNv0l2diu3UWro1usoK91R_NfYaAmw5EALw_wcB
Hi Cheyenne! I love your art, creativity and everything you put out on youtube. I feel like you bring such a bright beautiful light to your content but... you live in Seattle? I've been thinking about moving to Seattle for a little while but I always hear it's so gloomy and there's the "Seattle freeze". I was wondering if you could give me your perspective on living there as an artist, do you live in the city, outside? Also, I love your apartment, is something like that hard to get? how hard is it to make new friends? do you think the city is artist-friendly? thank you ❤
I’m familiar with it tangentially! One of my campaigns where I’m a PC is set in Wildemount, which gave me the idea of looking at the EGTW in the first place. I’ve not watched Critical Role, as the length of episodes and arcs is really daunting to me, but Mercer has crafted an incredible world!!!!

@@wrymecheersit’s fixed now! sorry about that 😅
It's always so nice to see a little bit of Cheyenne on Pepper's channel ☺️
The "Second Cheyenne" bit was so funny and refreshing to see! Very clever transition! Loved the video, as always
That transition/bit for the sponsor was absolutely adorable and hilarious, 10/10
BEST ad read...like ever. 😂
superb job chey!! these bags are brilliant!!
eeee thank you PJ!!!! I’d love to make one for each of the dragoneers eventually :’)
no pressure but watching your channel improves my mental health 900000%

always a joy to watch your process and see the projects that are taking up your brain space 😌

the little flowery pattern is so gorgeous!! i think im especially partial to that one because i am becoming a big fan of that red color nowadays
A silicone cookie sheet works great for placing under your wool ironing mat to prevent it from damaging the surface they’re on 🙂
ooooo good shout, tysm!
wonderful video, the bags turned out so cute !!
My bad dopamine/mood disorder/adhd day has been basically completely turned around by a new Cheyenne video and also Pepper 😂 I love that cat so much
The add intro was AMAZING

Your videos are giving Wes Andeson vibes!! Omg I just realised why I love your videos so much, it literally feels like Im watching Fantastic Mr. Fox
I've been watching your videos since the pandemic pls don't die because I love youuu
Always enjoy seeing what latest projects you're working on!
That floral fabric is so stinkin' cute; I want to make everything out of it

I was thinking about you this morning and here you are!
Loved working on my crochet along side your sewing💛🧶 Amazing as always!!
This is so cool, Cheyenne! I've never played D&D before but I want to so bad. I also wish I had a sewing machine because this looks like so much fun!!
I got mine for $20 off FB Marketplace!!! Highly recommend!!

Yes of course, I'm gonna watch this on loop thanks for not asking 😂❤

That accent was spot on!

Your videos always spark such a need to create! Guess I gotta do some art today
Oh I love your sweater

Who else clicked for the clingy cat part 😁
oh no oh no the frozen sick is what my D&D group just started and i had to close my eyes so fast to not get spoiled 😂😂 gotta skip this entire ad
hahaha sorry, sorry!!! to be fair, it’s just stuff that’ll happen in the first session or two ;-)
You’re hilarious! Love your videos, as usual. Lots of love ❤️
Hey, Cheyenne! Hope you're well 🩷 loved the ad and it really helped my partner with his D&D campaign! I was wondering where did you draw the map? Thank you 🥰

As a English person your accent is great! Sounds like someone born in northern England and then moved to London in their early 20's Lol
oh brilliant!! heh means my dialect classes during my theatre degree paid off 🙂↕️
@@cheyennebarton oh wow!! I knew you did theatre but dialect classes! You BOSS!!! 🙌 nothing you can't do 🥰
love the kitty ☺☺
Ahhh! the "sponsor Cheyenne" part was amazing! Always love hearing you have fun with accents and characters!
That sponsor segue was so cute! 🥰 (also just found out that word is not spelled ‘segway’, nuts!)
Welcome to the black hole that is DM'ing, I ran my first games last year and I have not been able to stop living in my fantasy world🙈🙈🙈
Best video title ever!!😂❤😂

If all ads were this fun… that’d be cool. Js🤌🏼
