I've often wondered this myself. The fire, logs, and rocks would be difficult but not impossible. Just leave room for seam allowance. The smaller pieces might need to be done by hand. I've been wanting to do a series using the sewing machine. I just like the control that hand sewing provides. I get in fights with my sewing machine and just end up doing things by hand. We have a fragile relationship. 😆
I live in Canada so I get most of my tools/materials from Michaels. Funny you should ask because I was just thinking of launching my own line of felt sheets but I was unsure if there was any interest.
I didn't really think my face had much to do with the tutorials. My goal with this channel is to have as little talking and as much 'showing' as possible. I have many followers who don't speak English so I normally try to be as visually descriptive as possible. Do you think that showing my face would help people relate more with the free tutorials?
I've always struggled with issues about my on-camera persona. The person I see when I watch it back is not me. I'm the most confident person in my day to day but something about seeing my face on camera makes me feel inauthentic. Guess I know what fear I'll be tackling this year. 😊
Great question! You could probably do parts on the sewing machine. Attaching the icing to the doughnut for sure and then I'd do the outside edge of the finished piece and flip it. The middle holes might be better off with hand sewing. Good luck! 😊
Thanks! I actually never finalised this pattern, and you are the first to express interest. I have some new patterns, as well as some remakes of old classics in the works. Would you be interested in the fire, logs, and rocks (campfire) or just the S'mores?
Thank you so much for supporting my Etsy shop! Please let me know if you have any questions while you're crafting, and I would absolutely LOVE to see pictures of your finished pieces. 😊 💗
Loved and will be watching all your videos,I’m making felt food have started with strawberries. Please in future can you lay pieces on table and give us a view from above. Thank you.
Absolutely! Sewing is just my happy place, but most of these projects can be done with hot glue. I might suggest cutting the pattern a little larger so you have a seam allowance to glue together. The finished pieces may come out looking slightly different than if you were to sew them, but they will be enjoyed just as much. Happy crafting! 💗 😊
I really appreciate the commentary throughout the process! Especially as someone who's starting to get into these things, it's nice to have these detailed explanations to follow.
Not me sitting here until 1am in California binge watching your videos lol. I am OBSESSED with your work! I haven’t even tried to make any yet. I’m just so impressed at what you can do with some felt. No expensive sewing machine or fancy tools. It gives me hope that I can do these projects too lol.
Aww thanks so much! ☺️ You absolutely can do it! If you have any suggestions, project ideas, or need any help, please let me know. I love seeing people's finished products made from my vids and patterns. 💗
That sounds like a fun project! Though it would be super similar to my soy sauce project that goes with the felt sushi set. If you didn't want to wait. 😉 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-VKVzqEUSEXc.html
@Cute girl 2000 It's cool, I knew what you meant. 😊 Sometimes just by switching up colours you can make an entirely different finished piece by tweaking a similar pattern. The pleats would be tricky but I've been wanting to try them anyways. I'll play around a bit and see if I can figure it out. 👍
I don't create patterns for every project. Some, like this one, I just make up as I go along. Though I am considering doing a pattern series of animals in the future if there is enough interest.
Well obviously that's what I did.. but just thought youd wanna know for future reference. I doubt I'm alone in this feeling. Again great felt skills though.
Just stumbled across your channel...you do such nice work. Have been crocheting and using felt for playfood, and this will be the best item in our 'market'.
