what you’re going through is valid. we’re all here for you and will stick around with you through everything you’re going through. we love you. take your time. 💗
Struggles are struggles. Just like stress is stress. Regardless of what it is. I had to learn that for myself because self care is so important. I’m glad to know you’re trying to take care of yourself. 💕
When I heard Jen start to discourage her embroidered hand it honestly broke my heart because I remember explaining my art in front of other people and I totally almost started to cry because I definitely felt like I could do much better then what I created but everyone else reassured me that it was really cool and I have a gift. I feel like every artist/ person in general goes through this stage, whatever they’re trying to improve on, I know almost everyone goes through this. I understand ur in. A bad place rn girl, if you need to take a longer break that’s okay. And I want you to know that the art you made in this video is not as bad as you think. Your valid and your emotions are valid. I know it’s easier said then done but try to stay positive girl. ✌️Much love to you.
For the future, I would recommend using a water-soluable stabilizer instead of the regular tear-away. You won’t have to worry about loosening stitches because it will essentially dissolve under water.
I saw someone on tiktok just printing out the image he wanted to emboider and then make all the stitches with the paper on top of the shirt and then later soaking off the paper with water! I thought this was very smart, because you won't have loose threads and you will have a perfect embroidery
Love your vids. I just wanted to give a quick reminder that just because other people have other problems, that doesn’t mean your own concerns aren’t valid. the more happy and mentally healthy you are, the more capacity you have to help others.
You're being too hard on yourself. I appreciate being able to see the mistakes and lessons learned and the unexpected bumps that a project can take because when it comes to trying something for the first time, I take a breath and it feels more do-able. Stay safe!
They are not privileged problems, mental health is important and you’re allowed to feel depressed and you’re allowed to cry and go through things Regardless I’m glad you’re okay now ❤️
I’m glad you’re back and are doing better. Remember to take breaks and stay happy and healthy! Your problems matter and if you ever need another break, then we’ll understand. Everyone needs breaks to rest, but in the mean time, we’ll enjoy your wonderful content.
On behalf of your fans, we appreciate you and accept that you need breaks. You're human and it's normal. I personally am very happy you're taking care of yourself. I hope the best for you, take all the time youd like. ❤❤❤ we still love you, Queen
no matter how first world your problems are and insignificant they seem compared to other people's, remember that your problems are still valid, just because you are lucky doesn't mean that you don't have a right to be unhappy or complain. We love you and are here for you girl!
Love the bee. That fingers touching was creative. I always think, when I see that picture of God’s hand, “Aha! He’s a Lefty!” It is interesting how critical we are of our own artwork. They are all great.
Hi! I've been doing embroidery for over a year and I love it. If you are looking for a better way to draw out patterns rather than chalk or pencil, I totally recommend "Onwon" brand, heat erasable pens. Like $7 gets you four colors with a lot of refills, and you erase them with a hairdryer or something. I know online shopping isn't the best idea right now but keep it in mind
Thank you for telling us why you needed a break Jen, and for future reference, please know that we will wait for you for as long as you need. I hope things get better for you from now on and thanks for this amazing video! 💕💞
I love that bee!! Definitely want to have a go at embroidering some of my one clothes. Tissue paper is a really good alternative to the stabiliser if you’re just after something to trace an image out on and it rips away really easily too!!
Seam ripper for WHEN you mess up haha (speaking from experience, textile artist). It makes an inevitable, miserable situation a lot better- I’d consider them essential! They come in every cheap sewing kit and you can get them on their own for like a dollar too. Also Jen, yeah there’s a huge global crisis right now but it still does NOT diminish the importance of your mental health!!! We care about you and your wellbeing no matter what. Keep doing what’s right for you & we’ll always be here!
I hope your feeling better and just want you to know you are allowed to feel pain and sadness even if it doesn't feel as big and what other people are going through. Honestly, it shows you have empathy because you are thinking of others! love this video and hope your ok 💞💞
I’m inspired how no matter what you go through, you still acknowledge how there are other problems in the world. everyone has their own strengths and i promise it’s totally okay to not be okay sometimes. that does not at all make you “spoiled” or “insensitive”. we love you!!!
I think the beautiful lesson that embroidery tries to teach us is that it is always unperfect and that is what it makes unique. So be proud of every stich you make bc its as unique as you
I think the fact that you're struggling with some issues and that you are telling that to us actually makes you way more relatable. It makes me feel like you're still a normal person and not someone who is just obsessed with their online fame
This showed up in my recommended and I clicked because the black jacket caught my eyes! I don't see how you don't like how it came out, I really love it
Please don’t feel bad about yourself you are amazing, funny, and extremely talented. You are truly amazing and I inspire to be you. These diys are incredible and super amazing!
thank you for speaking your mind and sharing about your life while also being sensitive about these times and your place in the bigger picture. it was very refreshing and i really appreciated your sensitivity. also these crafts were just what i needed!
I found one of her videos, watched another, subscribed, watched three more, followed her on Instagram, found this video, turned on post notifications, and am now about to go watch all of her old ones because Jen is literally amazing
I was just chatting on whatsapp then got an notification that JENerationDIY posted a video i came to watch it immediately cause its the first time that i've been so early. Love your ideas Jennifer😍🥰
Please nooo, stop putting yourself down! The first hand looks amazing (so does everything else ofc)! But you're so talented! You better start appreciating yourself cause you're greattttttt
Hey hun! With the fabric stabilizer it is meant to me use on the inside of fabric and not the outside! this way when it rips off it can leave a bit on the back to help retain structure of your image keeping it seamless in the front, its usually intended for support for that reason! My boyfriends dad owns an embroidery shop so I just wanted to let you know fo future use of the product 💗
glad you’re back and feeling better! I went through a sort of depressing stage back in nov-dec and ik how hard it can be. mental health should always comes first 💕💕
I feel like I have similar struggles. I practice gratitude almost to a fault. Anytime I am feeling down I tend to tell myself it's not that serious and there are people with real problems in the world. It is always a good thing to recognize your privilege and be grateful, but you also should not invalidate your own feelings. It is okay to be sad or depressed or anxious.
Let‘s just talk about the fact that i ordered an ebroidery set after the video in november (before realising that my mum had the same phase when she was twenty and we still have a ton of threads) and this video just got me really excited! Embroidery for the win
Your problems are no lesser than anyone else's just because you think that someone else has it harder than you. Your feelings are valid, mental health is important. Struggling with that is just as valid as anyone else's struggles.
Hello, I’m first I’ve been watching a lot of thrift clips lately!! This is great for me! My brain is slowly dying. All of the DIYs turned out so cool!!
Alyssa Rose Hi! I've been watching thrift clips as well and finally started a channel😅 I would appreciate if you can visit me. You should also consider making one 😉
Embroidery is such a great hobby! I am around your age and I love it! I actually started my own hand-embroidery business. It is so relaxing and definitely helps with my mental health. I love your videos though, so I am glad you are back :)
Holy moly I don’t think anyone will notice anything wrong and when they ask where you get it you can say oh I made it like I want to say that your so inspiring! Sorry your videos make me so excited and your so crafty I love it your amazing! Hahah
