2022-03-23 02:09:01 +0000 UTCI was thinking about Buffalo bill the entire time I watched you making the cover. 😅Beautiful work.

2021-10-07 07:01:09 +0000 UTCInvisible stitch😻😎🤓
Sam Hussey
2021-10-05 11:13:42 +0000 UTCThat is impressive how solid the form looks now. Wow...I missed quite a few videos.
Shannon R.
2021-09-30 13:51:44 +0000 UTCI have never heard of an invisible stitch! That is soo cool! I needed to learn about this! Job well done Christine!
Marina salinas
2021-09-20 09:28:47 +0000 UTCWow I am SO impressed. What an inspiration

2021-09-19 16:34:26 +0000 UTC*laugh* I was thinking this exact thing.

2021-09-16 17:09:26 +0000 UTCBRAVO 😍
Julia
2021-09-14 00:47:32 +0000 UTCIs this new music!? It's so hauntingly beautiful 😍
Samantha Crumpton
2021-09-12 23:17:38 +0000 UTCIt's amazing so far! Your craftswomanship is next-level, and you must have the patience of Job! All those little pieces--I can sew, but it is VERY rudimentary sewing. I can't wait til next week to see the finished product!

2021-09-11 17:59:38 +0000 UTCBuffalo Bill ain’t got nothing on you!
Stacey Rowell
2021-09-09 22:35:04 +0000 UTCI've watched this several times. Mesmerizing. You know, this has a sort of "Silence of the Lamb" vibe. Maybe the dress form should be called Clarice????? :o
Sherri
2021-09-05 18:51:47 +0000 UTCDepending on what fabric you use this is completely doable within that budget. The glue isn't expensive and a little goes a long way. Plus if you use a stand like she already had laying around or find one (there are a lot for sale or even for free on fb marketplace) that is another cost cutter. I agree that what she has created so far already looks more expensive than it really is and that's a fantastic thing in my book.

2021-09-05 10:45:53 +0000 UTCSpeaking of woodworking, I have a possible suggestion for a future project I just wanted to throw out there in the air. What about making frames? I have a huge collection of antique frames, but sometimes I am painting a piece that just doesn't fit with them aesthetically or physically and I am on this, sometimes in vain, search for one that will work. Just tossing it out there. Beautiful work and I can't wait to see the finished product!
Nicholas Frig
2021-09-05 10:42:36 +0000 UTCDidn't you say ages ago that this project would be around $100-$150 ? There is no way?!
helen crawford
2021-09-05 09:15:58 +0000 UTCChristine….it’s gorgeous! Can’t wait to see the woodworking portion!
Dusty Lynn Goodwin
2021-09-04 19:43:22 +0000 UTCGreat project! I have always found a dress form with some padding underneath to be helpful when using pins and getting a sense of the stretch over a softer surface of different fabrics. I think I will be adding a long zipper in the back so the linen cover can be dry cleaned.
Page Brunner
2021-09-04 12:27:34 +0000 UTCOMG, Christine, this is so amazing! My dad was a sculptor and art professor. He loved working with glue and sawdust, so it is fascinating to me that you knew to do that. He would have been very interested in this project and your talent. I have been sewing since I was 8 (I'm 63 now) and I am blown away by this project. After I retired from my original profession (librarian) I went to work as a manager for Joann Fabrics. I know exactly which linen you used. And you definitely chose the right one. I can't wait to see the last episode and see your finished product! Bravo!!!
Eve Engle
2021-09-03 18:35:39 +0000 UTCWhat an incredible episode, so impressed by how stunning the cover looks on the dress form! A little tip for the future that you might find helpful - I'm a costume maker and we use this technique sometimes in tailoring - you can make something called a 'damp stick' by rolling up tailoring canvas and tying it together (a bit like a sage bundle). Then you dip it in water and apply the moisture only exactly to where you want steam, and then use a dry iron to create that steam - this way you don't add moisture and risk shrinking the rest of the fabric but you can get perfect pinpointed steam <3
Victoria Aubrey
2021-09-03 14:42:56 +0000 UTCHave you named the dress form yet?
Rosalie Langmod
2021-09-03 04:28:55 +0000 UTCYES! I had accidentally left it in a drawer at the CA house! I almost cried when I found it!
Christine McConnell
2021-09-02 14:57:19 +0000 UTCYou found your watch!

Alyne Whiteswan
2021-09-01 01:31:54 +0000 UTCLinen is made from flax ,you can get linen mixes with cotton but 100% linen is flax , this is just amazing, it looks so vintage ❤️❤️❤️
AliLou Creations
2021-08-31 23:11:46 +0000 UTCDumb-ish question, if the stand is glued into the form how will this be used for testing alterations on some near finished skirts and pants?
Angela Pogue
2021-08-31 18:29:26 +0000 UTCWow. I really admire your patience and attention to detail. As a sewist, I have to remind myself to take a breath, slow down and be willing to start over to make something well.
Teresa Guerino
2021-08-31 14:00:13 +0000 UTCWow! This already looks so incredible!!
Ashley Bosworth
2021-08-31 13:24:29 +0000 UTCAhh no, I was really looking forward to the live stream (I'm a Londoner) but it will be at around 2am for me I think :( I thought it was going to be at 11pm. Have fun you guys!
Emma Cowles
2021-08-31 12:57:15 +0000 UTCMe, too, Alexandra. And I’m like the antithesis to Halloween/spooky with my art style, but sooooo enjoy the fun and learning.
Kristi G
2021-08-31 11:20:20 +0000 UTCThere are! I think I missed adding their progress to this episode... I'll include that in the last installment :))
Christine McConnell
2021-08-31 04:41:54 +0000 UTCI’m not sure I know of a more masterfully skilled and capable woman at everything she does!
Karla Wilson
2021-08-31 04:40:29 +0000 UTCI think I missed something somewhere. Were there arms for this? I thought there was, but I could be wrong.
Nicholas Frig
2021-08-31 03:50:52 +0000 UTCMaddening. Hypnotic and beautiful process. And meticulously maddening. ❤
Ashley Blue
2021-08-31 03:33:04 +0000 UTCChristine, is there anyway we can get a playlist from you that has music that gives all the spooky, creepy vibes that you like? Like teddy bears picnic?? Loving all the content🙌 I’m actually making a gift box for my friend and it’s HEAVILY inspired by you and I’m using your techniques ❤️❤️
Ashley Lucero
2021-08-31 01:11:57 +0000 UTCFantastic job Christine I love the way it looks.
Vicky
2021-08-31 00:15:24 +0000 UTCIs Archimedes responding to his treatment as well as it seems in the video? He is SUCH a love!
Marilyn Maier
2021-08-30 23:57:10 +0000 UTCBeautiful dress form and I love your "Librarian" skirt!
Elise Day
2021-08-30 23:49:00 +0000 UTCI love this option too!! Especially building it on a mannequin, That's a genius idea!! I honestly thought my dress form would be a lot simpler and then it's just avalanched into one of the harder projects I've tackled :o
Christine McConnell
2021-08-30 22:52:59 +0000 UTCAll I can say is WOW!!! I'll be waiting patiently for the live!
Anita Gonzales
2021-08-30 22:04:37 +0000 UTCI don't even sew and I still love watching these. The talent is amazing! I can't wait to see the finished product but have even less patience for the arrival of the Halloween season! (even though all year is still spooky season). I watch these videos on repeat while I do my own paintings and art all through the holiday season.
Alexandra Conrad
2021-08-30 21:44:22 +0000 UTCI can't wait for Halloween Stuff! It amazes me how you made this amazing dress form from cardboard!!! I am so excited to see what is next
Krissy Smith
2021-08-30 20:42:21 +0000 UTCThis dress form is incredible and I know from personal experience that having a form to fit on is so much easier than fitting on yourself and alone. I don't have the skills that Miss Christine has, but I used a pattern by Bootstrap Fashion for their personalized dress form. You enter your measurements and they product a pattern for you to sew together and then stuff full of polyfill, batting, etc. I put an old plastic dummy form into my sewn form then stuffed polyfill around it. Worked out great! There are great reviews of the bootstrap dress form pattern and lots of youtube reviews. Highly recommend. I don't have the same skills or tools that Miss Christine has, but this is another options for those who might be interested! Hope you are all safe and well!
Amy Tegethoff
2021-08-30 20:28:45 +0000 UTCThis might have to be my big project this year! It looks like a massive undertaking, but so worth it!
Lindsay Fritz
2021-08-30 19:31:17 +0000 UTCI had a very painful week handling the hospice stages of a loved one. When I finally got home after 63 hours at the hospital, and saw this video, I cried. I never realized just how much these videos comforted and inspired me. You are amazing!
Jordan Nuckels
2021-08-30 18:48:14 +0000 UTCSo excited for Halloween!! Your new house is so spooktacularly beautiful already, can’t wait to see what you do as always!
Kirstyn Cobb
2021-08-30 18:36:14 +0000 UTCYour skill is phenomenal! Unfortunately mine is not so I'm going to have to sit this one out and just drink wine and enjoy the videos! I cannot wait for the Halloween episodes!! I am definitely making bauble spiders this year!
Rachael
2021-08-30 18:25:23 +0000 UTCExcited to move into other things and Halloween. Not into dress form stuff, yet ,I can really appreciate your art form and attention to detail. What you made is amazing!
Sufani Garza
2021-08-30 16:33:56 +0000 UTCI always enjoy videos showcasing your "Creative Brilliance" and may they never end!
Karen Horner
2021-08-30 16:32:39 +0000 UTCHow you even came up with this idea, planned it out, and executed it so flawlessly I will never know. The time and patience and meticulous craft is amazing. Can't wait to see the finishing because it already looks great!
Dominique Kupersmith
2021-08-30 15:59:32 +0000 UTCSo excited for this, but seeing the words "Halloween episodes" made my day!
Rachel
2021-08-30 15:46:35 +0000 UTCSorry if someone already asked but what book were you listening to?
Carlee
2021-08-30 14:30:21 +0000 UTCIs there anything you can’t do??!! And do it to the highest level of perfection. You are truly amazing.
Virginia Bernotas Fremarek Lempa
2021-08-30 14:14:30 +0000 UTCThe sheer amount of detail and effort that has gone into this, I’m just so amazed. And I love watching these so much that while this video was playing, my partner was walking around the house humming to the iconic music made my Grant. ❤️
Vi
2021-08-30 12:52:50 +0000 UTCNot me seriously considering staying awake until 2am on a Tuesday to watch this 🥲 (who am I kidding I will probably do it)
Clara Vratsanos
2021-08-30 12:35:51 +0000 UTCI was just using my sawzall to chop up some broken branches on Saturday. It’s a noisy and aggressive tool. Seeing you sculpt with it was astonishing! I’m always in awe at the mastery you command with anything you choose to do. Amazing Renaissance woman.
Allan Linehan
2021-08-30 09:47:52 +0000 UTCOmg great! 🤍🤍🤍
Carmen G. P.
2021-08-30 09:05:25 +0000 UTCI’m an expert sewer, and I feel a little out of my depth trying to attempt this! I’m a little disappointed you didn’t go through the process of how you decided where to do the lines to create the pattern pieces, and what your method was for this. Even for someone who’s been seeing since a young child, this doesn’t look like an easy feat.
Ange
2021-08-30 06:37:18 +0000 UTCAwww it is school night it will be to late for me to see it but I always enjoy see everything live or not live that you post , it is a ritual ,since we know about you specially this coming months big kisses and love from us in 🇩🇰 Denmark

Lynnetta
2021-08-30 03:28:00 +0000 UTCFAN DAMN TASTIC!
Deana Carpenter
2021-08-30 02:41:33 +0000 UTCSuperb! I loved the dress form on Part 1- it was a work of art. Now in part 2- that cover fits like a glove, it already looks done! I can’t wait to see what other embellishments you have up your sleeve. You continue to amaze me!
Sandra Martinez
2021-08-30 02:36:45 +0000 UTCOnce again you are So inspiring! I really don't sew (maybe buttons) and I am simply amazed at your talent and attention to detail. Thank you!

Racheal Jones
2021-08-30 02:32:07 +0000 UTCDefinitely occurred to me, when all the pieces were laid on the floor. :)
Racheal Jones
2021-08-30 02:29:20 +0000 UTCI thought the same thing, lol!
Tabatha Redar
2021-08-30 02:28:35 +0000 UTCWow! The dress form turned out amazingly! I would have broken my brain trying to figure out the pattern for that cover, and I’m a fairly experienced sewer. I can’t wait till the next episode!
Lori Ratcliff
2021-08-30 02:20:11 +0000 UTCAnyone else feel like Christine is channeling Buffalo Bill as she sews the "Skin" for the dress form? That fabric looks awefully flesh toned.
Colleen
2021-08-30 02:12:48 +0000 UTCI LOVED this, it's turning out so awesome!

Eric Mutzabaugh
2021-08-30 01:56:28 +0000 UTCWatching you place the nearly-done fabric onto the form was giving me serious Buffalo Bill vibes!
Madwarlock
2021-08-30 01:46:02 +0000 UTCHow do you get any work done in that cozy house and the rain hitting the roof. That room you are working in would make me so sleepy. 😂 ❤️

Christine McConnell
2021-08-30 00:44:40 +0000 UTCSo excited! Christine, like you, I’m very close with my mom, and I have introduced your videos to her over the past few months. We have had the best time hanging out and watching videos, and I showed her the Netflix show too! She says “I love Christine’s sense of humor.” Thank you for creating such wonderful art that I can share with her!
