Tonight is opening night for our show, and that always means a crazy chaotic day, but I manage to get some crafting and vlogging done nonetheless! In this episode we'll find a suitable -and free- Christmas stocking pattern for some future Crazy Quilting!
I'll pack up our suitcase, but not before going through all the various crafts I'll be bringing with me on tour, including knitting, future knitting bags and notions, fabric for quilting, some chicken scratch apron supplies, AND of course the inevitable garland and twinkle lights to make each and every hotel on our whirlwind 6 week tour feel like home for the holidays!
Also included: some more sneak peaks of our touring Christmas Circus show (although more will come in future videos, don't worry), and a first look at my favorite vintage patterns!

Whenever Stephanie Canada gets a pattern that's folded that way, she calls it factory folded. It is, of course, the goal when ordering vintage patterns. You know what that means, you win!

We don't have second hand, Good Will , charity shops here in Spain. (There are some in the south, but that's 1000 km away) and I really regret the loss of all the goodies that could be obtained at a price I can actually afford. P.s. giant stockings, more presents. What's not good about that?

Oh I think that 70s pattern is great. You don't see a wide legged jumpsuit very often. I think that would look fabulous on you, and the overalls are cute too. Come on, embrace your 1970's self girl! You know those jumpsuits are back in style anyway.

So excited for all of the Christmas/on-the-road content, and the vintage patterns segment is such a great idea!! Portable project ideas are a must! On top of my larger scale sewing projects reserved for weekends, I often have a lunchtime-at-work portable project (often knitting), and a late-evening-while-watching-tv project (hand-sewing, darning, embroidery or knitting)

@ShannonMakes 7 месяцев назад

Yesssss, I love portable projects, and they've definitely fallen by the wayside since I started RU-vid - no time for projects that can't be filmed, but not this season! ALL the portable projects!

It makes me surprisingly happy to see the towelling overalls being used and useful. :D

@ShannonMakes 7 месяцев назад

thank you! They get used pretty much every winter contract we do, to the point that I need to resew some of the buttons before they fall off! 🤣

@vernieplummer5148 7 месяцев назад

Were you doing your act on the large ring in the show? I want to make sure I knew which one was you.

@ShannonMakes 7 месяцев назад

Yes, that was me ☺️

Ça va être génial de te suivre dans tes pérégrinations entre les créations dans le bus, l’installation Noël à l’hôtel et les coulisses du spectacle 👍🏻🤩… deux fois par semaine c’est déjà bien 😊 ! Ça prend du temps ces vidéos ! Supers les patrons Mac Call 🤭 ! Ma realisation, ce sera autre chose 😅 ! Prends bien soin de toi, Shannon… tu as l’esprit de Noël avec toi… et tes abonnés qui ne te lâchent pas 😂 !! À bientôt !!! 🌸✨🌸✨🌸

Owl sleep mask is very cute! VLogs is a very good craft-companion video 💕

Thank you! It was purchased for us as a sort of gag gift, but I use mine all the time 🤣🦉😴

@creepycutiecrafty 7 месяцев назад

That looks like (several) fun projects! I can’t wait to see how they turn out. I like the 1975 style design. I can see that with a little tweaking and personalising, it could look quite striking.

@ShannonMakes 7 месяцев назад

Thank you!! 🥰🎄 And yes, it's true that with tweaking, most things could be made to be quite striking!

@janfranklin2114 7 месяцев назад

You have set yourself quite a challenge. I think you would really like that last wrap I believe 1975 pattern. I actually think that apron could be pretty cool too.

@ShannonMakes 7 месяцев назад

thank you! 🥰🥰 Glad you enjoyed the first one, and happy to have you along for the adventure! Might make the apron out of some 1930s repro prints!

@lourdesperez2861 7 месяцев назад

My curiosity assault me where are you touring for the next six weeks, wherever I travel, I always pack a craft bag or I will go stir crazy 😜

@ShannonMakes 7 месяцев назад

There's a list of cities saved as a highlight on my Instagram if you're still curious! 🎄♥️💚♥️🎄

@tinagleeson7813 7 месяцев назад

Thank you for VlogMass Ep1 - loved all of it!! I know you are knitting the 2-tone sweater first, but I was wondering if you had thought about trying out "fair isle" style knitting for your multi-colour yarn? I have a pattern with multiple different fair isle tops (vests, sweaters, and a "lady's" jacket!!), that I could scan and email to you, if you're interested!! Also, glad the opening night went well, and "CHOOKAS" for the rest of the tour!! (That's what our Aussie-based performers say to each other!! LOL)

@ShannonMakes 7 месяцев назад

You're very welcome! Glad you enjoyed the adventure, thanks for coming along! ♥️💛🎪💛♥️ I probably won't do any fair isle on this tour just because I don't know that I will have the mental energy to try and tackle something new AND because that's maybe a bit more messy (juggling all the colors) than I want to try to manage with all the other luggage and such that I have with me. Will definitely do some in the future, without a doubt, just maybe not the ideal tour project.... lots of other knitting has been happening, though ;-) And yes, I'm quite familiar with the CHOOKAS! 🐨

@SimpleDesertRose 7 месяцев назад

Oh what fun I can't wait to see the sticking. Have you considered doing patchwork stockings? Might be fun. I have a pattern somewhere in my sewing room that I printed off and then promptly lost. 😳 I have to say that I am way behind on Christmas vests for pictures this year. My card was compromised and I have been operating on limited cash until my new card arrived. I finally got a new card a couple days ago and yesterday i finally got into town to get some cheap fabric for lining and the backs for the vests. Sadly I forgot my box of scraps to send off to you. Strike two on my part.🤦🏼‍♀️ Hopefully I'll remember on Thursday when I have plans to go into town next. I live about 20 minutes outside of town and sometimes it's an effort to leave the homestead, especially with the cost of gas these days. I'm washing and ironing all my fabric today. So hopefully tomorrow I can cut everything out and get to sewing.

@ShannonMakes 7 месяцев назад

No patchwork this year, as I don't love doing the construction seams for patchwork by hand... especially when there's so much other hand-sewing to be done in the embroidery. So not a great travel project... maybe another year though!!

@elizabethclaiborne6461 7 месяцев назад

You’re good. I can’t keep up with more than 3x a week, plus would prefer you get plenty of sleep and stay on top of your other job.

@ShannonMakes 7 месяцев назад

Yes, definitely! Filming has only been happening when I want to, I don't ever really try to force something if I'm not in the mood 🥰🥰🫶

@thebookwyrmslair6757 7 месяцев назад

Awww, I'm bummed you aren't coming to Rapid City! There's a Cirque show here this weekend that I'm debating getting tickets for. $200+ when we already spent about that much on Nutcracker tickets = can I REALLY justify??? But it's AWESOME!!! But... *sigh* I'll probably cave. I have one kid who LOVES ballet and another who LOVES gymnastics. Cirque is the best of all worlds! 😂

@ShannonMakes 7 месяцев назад

Someone else in the comments just asked me about Rapid City too, so there are at least a couple of you who live in the same area! But no, we're not going to Rapid City, that's either a different company altogether, or a different cast from the same company as our show (they have three simultaneous tours)!!

@ShannonMakes 7 месяцев назад

You bet!

@katmusswoodwind 7 месяцев назад

21:23 lol I guessed '75 for that pattern 😂 Also I'm glad you're not doing a vlogmas every day - not least because I think that would be so much work for you when you're already working hard. But I also find that any more frequent postings quickly get overwhelming! Yay autism lol

@ShannonMakes 7 месяцев назад

well, the lovely thing about the internet is that they'll be around to be watched at your leisure, at a pace that's enjoyable for you (and especially because they're not SO overtly christmas themed that they can't be enjoyed into the new year)

@ShannonMakes 7 месяцев назад

....the exception being this one, which was VERY Christmas themed, but the rest will be more crafting/show/travel vlog

@sofiareisbraga 7 месяцев назад

So, are you going to be at the Lisboa shows? I’ve been thinking of going to the Altice Arena for the Cirque on the 26thDecember! Let me know if you’ll be there.

@barbararey-constantin5679 7 месяцев назад

I highly recommend the ginger snap cookie recipe from the RU-vid channel Food Wishes, Chef John is funny and these are great cookies. I hope you and your followers will make them. I really enjoy your videos and find them inspiring so I can work on my own projects. God bless you. :)

@ShannonMakes 7 месяцев назад

I have an anise cookie that's my absolute go-to for that flavour of cookie (although it's not as thin as a "snap" style cookie, so the texture is probably different)!! 🥰🥰 Glad you enjoyed the first one, and happy to have you along for the adventure!
