2025-09-19 16:20:14 +0000 UTCAs you mentioned wanting some gothic sewing pins, I have some from Etsy. So cute and durable. Just enter gothic sewing pins in the search bar, you can get cats, tombstones, ghosts and bats. β€οΈ

2022-09-24 20:18:27 +0000 UTCI love the bat that she embroidered on the apron. Is there a way to download the bat pattern?

2020-08-12 10:13:42 +0000 UTCHello! I was wondering where I can download the pattern for this and for the coffin gift box! If anyone has the answer I would be very grateful!

2020-02-29 04:34:06 +0000 UTCChristine I am incredibly excited about this. Ever since I saw Dita in your white apron I have been in love. The detail in your work is amazing. I was wondering though, would you please give some guidance as to how the apron is best secured? I can see that you made Dita's to size and included buttons but in this video it looks as though the toys are very long and I can't figure out how the shoulder straps should be secured. Any additional tips would be very appreciated. Thank you!

2020-02-03 20:49:03 +0000 UTCYour editing was awesome! Many beautiful shots of up-close apron sewing action AND cats, of course! The aprons were stunning, I loved the little touches like the stars & spots, and the different lace trims!

2019-12-28 18:46:59 +0000 UTCI dont know what it is about sewing products but I think the manufacturers are lacing it with CATNIP! I took in 4 feral kittens, and it is funny because the two youngest are black and siamese, so my helpers looks like your helpers (but a lot less fluffy) and I am getting the same kind of help you are, in between springboarding off the ironing table to knock off the plants. I am sure what should have taken me 20 mins to do, takes me an hour. Getting my skirt lined now then on to the pleats...

2019-12-08 03:20:34 +0000 UTCI loved this video so much. I had to share the disappearing ink tip with one of my friends who sews a lot! And thank you for all of the cats in the video!

2019-12-07 22:16:30 +0000 UTCI was wondering that too! It looks like a grasper used for laparoscopic surgery.

2019-12-07 18:34:13 +0000 UTCOh I love this so much! Iβve been sewing since I was 6 and this is such a cute design! I love all of the details and extra information about fabric! This is so great for beginners and experienced sewists π Also, your pets are adorable π

Theresa Clay
2019-12-04 00:15:06 +0000 UTCWhat is the long-thing-with-the-pincher-at-one-end for turning fabric tubes right side out, called? I've been sewing all my life, but I've never seen one. I definitely need one of those!
Aunt Debbie Halloween
2019-12-03 22:08:31 +0000 UTCI subscribed to your patreon just for this!! You've gotten me so excited to be crafty and I have never sewn :)

2019-12-03 19:01:11 +0000 UTCI tried to tell her that, not that I sew, but my mother did!
Kathryn Evers
2019-12-03 14:23:20 +0000 UTCI haven't sewed since middle school, but I'm inspired to sew a baking apron now.
Lucy Wolski
2019-12-02 21:40:15 +0000 UTCI am so happy to be your patron & have access to all your amazing creations. Your videos are so inspiring! There is no one like you on youtube and that makes you so special. Thank you for sharing your talents and creativity with us.
Channon Rose
2019-12-02 18:54:25 +0000 UTCSo so excited for the gift boxβs!! The apron was to die for.. π even though I canβt sow to save my life, it was very fun to watch. π
SarahHerndon
2019-12-02 05:38:46 +0000 UTCAlso I had a suggestion, you should try a leather thimble for your middle finger when you hand sew, it really helps.
Cora Kathlea
2019-12-02 05:31:22 +0000 UTCWhat nail polish do you use? It is so beautiful.
Cora Kathlea
2019-12-02 05:30:55 +0000 UTCAlso - it's SO nice of you to make an apron for the person who lost their mother on Halloween.

MsTek
2019-12-01 20:52:32 +0000 UTCThis is such a lovely video. I adored the Netflix series, but have been enjoying these videos even more. Especially now that I am watching them with my youngest daughter Nyx. She loves them and regularly asks if there is a new one yet. I'm looking forward to watching the extra videos with her now I've signed up here.
Ivy Bombshell
2019-12-01 20:25:55 +0000 UTCGreat video - love the cozy ambiance and Poof-Woof! I have to watch it again for the (really good) sewing information because I get lost looking at the details of your house. You always do such a great job with each video - it's amazing to think it's just the 2 of you working on them - the finished videos look like you have a big production crew!
Aunt Debbie Halloween
2019-12-01 20:09:42 +0000 UTCI have some of her bat ones, they are awesome

2019-12-01 08:32:06 +0000 UTCHey! Can anyone tell me if they know how many yards of fabric are needed for this pattern? Thanks!
Jeanelle Boyle
2019-12-01 03:32:24 +0000 UTCit shouldn't be very hard to alter the pattern :)
Peggy
2019-12-01 03:25:13 +0000 UTCThis was a great episode (but I have never seen you produce a bad episode of anything). I really like that you have little fire-side chats before or after your videos sometimes. It's nice to watch your crafts but also to "get to know" you. It's fun learning about this person I hold in such high regard artistically. Anyway, great episode. Already getting a fix for the next one.

Paula Osborne
2019-11-30 21:34:35 +0000 UTCIt was this episode that finally convinced me we are related and I NEEDED to support your work. That apron is epic and I can't wait to make it, and the box that goes with it. You inspire me. <3
Saltywench
2019-11-30 19:05:45 +0000 UTCWill you possibly consider some more basic sewing related videos? I really wanted to start learning to sew as someone with little to no skills so it could be really lovely to see someone completely self taught
Lucy
2019-11-30 18:59:09 +0000 UTCHi Christine! I just subscribed to your Patreon account! I really enjoyed this video and I really want to support your endeavors! You are so talented and creative!

2019-11-30 15:54:55 +0000 UTCGirl, I was just thinking the same thing about myself! I don't even think one of my kids could wear that!
Jess
2019-11-30 15:52:09 +0000 UTCGood job I didn't win in a way. The size of that tiny apron wouldn't do up round my spare tyre.

2019-11-30 09:35:25 +0000 UTCI loved this episode! The apron was inspiring and so creative. The kitty and dog play was adorable. I think you did a great job with the editing. Thank you!
Serena Roberts
2019-11-30 08:12:33 +0000 UTCAny chance of getting a link to the particular invisible ink pens or fabric paints you use? I've been wanting to get into embroidery, but haven't had luck with the embroidery pens I've tried.
James Anthony
2019-11-30 07:32:30 +0000 UTCI really enjoyed this episode! My 16 yr old kitty, Hollie Barbara, hasn't been feeling too well ( kidney disease) and this just brightened my day to see the shenanigans with your own kitties!

2019-11-30 04:16:01 +0000 UTCHoly seamstress skills Christine! I am in such awe of your amazing talent! I have been sewing for 3 years now but have not attempted much hand sewing yet! Youβve definitely inspired me and I canβt wait to tackle this project as well as the coffin box! Thank you!

2019-11-29 19:57:07 +0000 UTCSuch an amazing episode!! Thanks for all the tips and the pattern! I think I swoon a few times because of the kitties, but that's a well known watching hazard for your videosπ₯° One of my kitties was watching intently with me, but then I fussed with her paws too much and she left...ππΎ Can't wait for the box video!!

Lauren
2019-11-29 18:36:21 +0000 UTCLove the video! I had to stop sewing a while back with my carpal tunnel, but it does make me want to get back out my materials and try again. What beautiful work.
Jessica bush
2019-11-29 18:22:42 +0000 UTCIβm so excited youβre doing sewing tutorials! I love to sew garments and enjoyed learning about your process. My cat likes to sit on my fabric as I cut, too, and he likes to watch me sew. πΈ

2019-11-29 17:44:17 +0000 UTCIs there any way possible we could have a list of what was included in the makeup kit? I have a similar skin tone and hair color as you and Iβd love to buy some of the things myself!! Also, if the winner of the makeup kit wants to let us know that works too!!
Hali & Taylor Baird
2019-11-29 16:38:13 +0000 UTCLoved the video! This is definitely a project I want to try. Great job on editing and as always love seeing all the cats and Gertie!! Also, using old bra wires for creating more shape on the apron was genius - such a good idea. πβ¨π―
Christina
2019-11-29 16:25:30 +0000 UTCThis was great! Thanks for the scissor recommendation Christine! My mom just gave me her old sewing machine so I begin my sewing adventures. Have you made any pin cushions? Thatβs a cool project Iβd love to doβΊοΈ

Aisling Doherty
2019-11-29 10:00:30 +0000 UTCI found your YouTube channel last week and have since binge watched all of your YouTube videos, the Netflix show and cannot wait for any content that you post. You are truly unique and lovely and so skillful. Most of all, you are a breath of fresh air. I adore the fact that you honor vintage style and your love of antiquities, including the peculiar. Happily looking forward to your future postings!

2019-11-29 08:37:14 +0000 UTCThank you for bringing such beauty and talent to this world! I loved these aprons and the amazing coffin boxes they lie in. Iβve always wanted to try my hand at sewing but felt so (sew) intimidated! Iβm definitely going to be using this pattern and asking my aunt for help. I canβt wait to show my aunt your work! Sheβs a seamstress and I think she will be just as fascinated with your raw talent as anyone who seeβs how beautiful your work is. Thank you for taking so much time to share all of the wonderful ideas from your mind Christine!π€
