Hola buenos días desde Colombia disculpa apenas me encontré con tu video. Me podrías decir cómo puedo hacer estas marquillas o etiquetas es que no entiendo lo que dices
Hi ive just subscribed. i have just bought my first sewing machine and was looking for something small to sew as my first project, i saw this one and thought ooh cute scrunchies, my 3 yr old would love that! As its my first project im 34 and have never sewn before, do you have a tutorial? I'm still learning how to thread my machine lol. Craft stores here in Australia are so overwhelming and there's so much Fabric, poppy cotton, 100% cotton, quilting cotton, satin, canvas, curtain fabric, flannelette. Which material do I need to buy to make a good selection for my daughter, im thinking I'll make 5 or 10 scrunchies for her. What size material should I buy? Id love a tutorial. 😊
Hi Lovely! Thank you so much for subscribing and giving me ideas for a great content. I haven't been able to do long vlogs lately after my pregnancy (the joy of newborns hey? 🤣) At the market, kids loves buying cotton poplin for their scrunchies as those are the ones that has licensed cartoons designs like Frozen, Bluey etc. Although if you make petite scrunchies (like this one on the video) you won't be able to see much of the design, hence I mostly do satins on this one. Your best bet are the standard sizes. I will do my best to do a tutorial on all the sizes of scrunchies I make in the next coming weeks 🤞😅 Hope that helps, thanks again for your lovely message 😘
@@alexandandreau Hi, thank you so much! What is a standard size? I'm literally a newbie haha. Ah newborns, I've got 3 kids and I remember just being able to shower and brush my teeth was an accomplishment! xx
@AussieMumVLOGS ahaha I've got 3 too 🤣 I feel you! 🤣 I do markets 3x a week plus the online shop & nanny to my children 🤣 I've got 3 sizes of scrunchies, XL, standard (the normal size) & then the one on this video are petites.
Hello! I don't know if you can answer me, but I would like to print on cotton at the other my own drawings can you tell me which printer I can buy and which brand please thank you
I use inkjet printer its an Epson-WF 3720, onky because I use transfer sheets and not directly on the label. If that makes sense? Let me know how you go. 😉
It is really good, lots of function and a lot faster. My only problem is (it may be from the settings idk) the thread keeps coming off, and I it is annoying, esp when I am in a rush, making stock 😪
Hi! Thank you very much for sharing this video with us, is very useful. I just suscribed! Have you ever tried this printing technique on satin fabric? I would like to try and make satin ribbon or satin fabric labels, Would you recomend this technique for that? Thank you and greetings from Mexico!! 🇲🇽😀❤️
Hi there! Apologies for the late reply. I used to use satin ribbon before, that was my first labels, and I had problems with the outcome of the labels after the heating process. You will see most of the letters will be crooked. But maybe try to adjust the heat setting? Oh and they don't last long after a couple of wash the design or logo would peel off 🥴
Sistah Girlfriend! I am impressed how you moved the container by yourself. I dont have as much mer as you do and get tired. You gave me motivation. Txs
Thanks for watching. That was my old method of putting the elastics, I used to glue them and then stitch them, but now I only tie it. I don't iron the fabric before inserting the elastic as the fabric will be scrunch anyway. Hope that helps. Feel free to ask if you have other questions, I'd be happy to answer. 😉😊
It was some sort of a diy, lol. It is from Vista Print, but that wasn't the actual size. I had to cut the banner in half, then sew it to that size. I had to do it that way to save money. Because if I were to get the proper valance in that size, it would be more expensive, like I was quoted by a different company for $250+, but I only paid $45 for this oh and Vista Print does not have that valance size so I had to improvise. If that makes sense? 😅 Apologies for the confusing explanation. DM me on IG, so I can send you the actual photo of the banner I ordered 😉
Hi there! Apologies for the late reply I don't know why I didn't receive a notification with regards to your comment. I will get you the measurements when I get to the market today as all my scrunchie board displaya are stored in there. 😉
Hi! I love your vlogs. I was just wondering, when you send your package with Australia Post, as letter post with not tracking, have you ever had any problems the package not arriving to the customer? thanks for your help. I’m trying to launch my small business soon but shipping gives me headache. 😅
Hi, apologies for the late response. I have sent no tracking once or twice so far I believe. Never had a problem. Just take photos of proof that you have packed it & sent it esp the receipt that you will get from Auspost. Good luck to your business! 😊
Loved watching, I will be an avid UK viewer from now on. Your work ethic is amazing, you work so hard. How long were you before you got your first order? I’ve just started my own journey selling online, I think you’re a bit further in than me though. Best wishes and good luck, I know you’re going to smash this. 🥰 xx
Thank you so much for your lovely message, my first order was the wholesale order, I think that was the 24th of September. It's a bit tough with online orders I must admit, it needs a LOT of marketing to get more customers, I just ventured in the market selling near where we live and I made more sales there than in my website 😅 I'm just trying to catch up with the market restocks and I will have more video updates about the market that I want to share. 😉 Thank you so much again for your support it means a lot to me 🥰
Hi Angel, thank you so much for your lovely message, which gives me an idea of what content to make in the next coming weeks. I really would like to talk about the difference about the two websites I am using to sell online. I use Etsy and Shopify by the way. Etsy is pretty straightforward, where as Shopify is a bit more complicated coz you have to drive your own customers to your website to get sales and I think I made more sales in Etsy than shopify. With that being said, I haven't done much marketing may be the reason why as I am focusing more in the market now and haven't got much time to update the website and marketing 😅
@@alexandandreau thanks for your reply. I am currently on Etsy now and yeah they say shopify is really good if you already had a build followers or crowds. Well I'm working fulltime so for me I think Etsy is good for me now. Anyway your products looks great on the website though.
Yes, I think Etsy is better than Shopify or a lot cheaper and simpler. It took me 2 weeks or so to finish my shopify website whereas the Etsy only took me less than a week.
Hi sharon, is it the entire video or just some parts of it? There are parts of the video that I purposely turn the volume down esp when it is in the fast forward mode and sewing as the machine is too loud 😅
