Q&A!

Hello, my Fellowship!!!
Sorry for the lack of content this month, Megacon kicked my arse and then I had to jump right into filming again😅
BUT I'm planning to film a Q&A tomorrow while I get ready for the day/maybe organizing a little (perhaps tackling dismantling the winter set LOL)
So I'd love if you left some questions here!

Also here is a handsome photo of Frodo for your trouble, ENJOY.

Comments

How's your fish and frogs doing?

Carlos Andrews

Hello from Brazil! 🇧🇷 Just wanna say that I looooove your channel! Also, wanto to ask you a very difficult question: have you ever thought about crocheting? If yes, what would you want to make?

Cristiane Wenglarek

What is your favorite bit of advise?

Mariah Colburn

Sheer animal magnetism.

Heidi Hickman

If you have local fan conventions, that is one place where lots of cosplay folks can be found.

Heidi Hickman

Since you just traveled for a convention recently, I was wondering if you could share tips for packing cosplays?

Drantis

Hi friend! I’m a plus-size sewist too! You should check out Amy of Melbourne’s channel, she puts together guides on where to find specially plus-sized patterns for different aesthetics!

wenchfaery

If you could design an outfit around a flower or plant, which one would it be and what would you want it to look like? :D

Ashley-Rae Ridsdel-Brown

What’s your story - why did you start filming YouTube videos and did you ever intend to have a career in YouTube?

Brayden Alexis

Do you knit/crochet? If so what are your favorite makes?

Nicole Mork

I would love to hear about your and Nick’s wedding! What was the venue, did it have a theme, etc! Always have been so curious!

Megan

Which Lord of the Rings character(s) is most like you?

Kat Waterman

AWWWW! HES SO SWEET!

Marcie Nelson

How do you prioritize which of the hundreds of dream-projects/bucket list creations to work on for your videos? I’m sure you have a big master list somewhere in your brain or a notebook or a Pinterest board, so how do you choose which projects to tackle and which to leave for a future day?

Cameron Hansen

What make or costume would you most like to redo/make better? Would love to see this sort of content!

Anna Sutton

If you were to write a book, what genre do you think it would be?

Lauren Dodaro

You've ticked off a lot of your "dream cosplays"; what's left to make, and which were you most happy with/need to revisit?

Anna

What places are on your travel bucket list??

Lauren Dodaro

I remember the video you made about your insecurities and your hip dips, so I was wondering, where are you on your self love journey and how have you been able to better learn how to love yourself for who you are and what you do? I deeply admire you confidence and I strive to one day be as confident as you. I think you're brilliant.

MindlessNonsense

What’s your favorite theme park and/or ride?

Sara Frattle

No apologies necessary! I have a smooth brain as well lmfao!! I look forward to the video and future livestreams! Love you tons and thanks for the confirmation for it being a video. Ryan 💚

The Haunted Pirate

Are you still playing B3? If so who is your fav character?

Ashling Meehan

I love the videos where you have done your version of characters (like the Jane Austin characters, Rose's looks from Titanic, etc.) and/or done your interpretation of other dresses/costumes you've seen and liked (the book dress, heart romper, etc.). So here is my question: If you did a series of videos where you did your own interpretation of a book character (either one that there isn't already an onscreen adaption of or that there is, but the onscreen adaption doesn't really match how you imagined them based on the book's description of the character, i.e. Hermione Granger, Katniss Everdeen, etc.), who are some characters you would choose to do?

Amber kent

How do you so seamlessly add wigs or fake hair to your looks? Especially when using some of your real hair. I can never make it look remotely natural.

Susie Carson

I gotta ask if you have every played the videogame masterpiece known as Lego Lord of the Rings? Unfortunately you can't get it for anything later than a PlayStation3 but this game was gold! (Yes I still have my PS3 and the game 😁)

Mary Ella

Omg that sounds amazing hahaha! I meant dragon con in Atalanta!

Rachel Maksy

If given a whimsical castle to magically build anywhere in the world, where would you choose to go and live?

Megan Diefenbacher

The floor troll shirts were by my friend Epi over at @ladyepi on Instagram! I would love to do more merch, I just gotta figure out a more sustainable way to do it 🥴🥴🥴

Rachel Maksy

Hahaha oops sorry!!! It's gonna be a video! Hopefully will be planning a Livestream soon though! 🥰

Rachel Maksy

What would you do if you were not a youtuber? Realistically? :P

Kamila Ferens

if you could go back in time and start your channel about something completely different, what would it be about?

andyazcu

I bought Bernadette’s book and love it so far I’m so intimidated and think I need a sewing machine to maybe make it less intimidating time wise. I need to try the duck tape thing I think to make it fit my body. Having kids altered my body so much. Thank you so much for the suggestions of folks to watch!!

Jessica Weber

Thank you so much. I’ll get these made today. Glad you found some you like.

Jennifer Shultz

Are you still a fan of Shane and Ryan?? And the whole Watcher team?

Christina Batts

Thank you for your answer ☺️

Litha

He's 9!

Rachel Maksy

PS: I realize I just brain dumped all those questions, but I'm just curious what all that looks like in a real day to day. Because it seems... like a lot. Like a lot a lot. :D

Wendy Litteral

What does your youtube life look like? For example deciding on content (do you research it to death?), filming (do you have a set number of angles you try to achieve or is it just whatever you can fit in), what do editing days look like (do you do it all in one day, space it out, do you order take out to make it more bearable/make yourself do it? Not that I've ever done that... ever... :D )... I'm mostly just curious what the general process looks like now versus when you still worked a 9-5. And last question - did you reach out to brands or did they reach out to you? Thanks for all the great content! I appreciate the insight!

Wendy Litteral

Just placed an order! The kitten, omg

Autumn Rose

I do t have an Etsy but do have a website that is currently being added too everyday. Therisingflamecandles.com Thanks for taking a look.

Jennifer Shultz

Do you have an etsy shop? I have become OBSESSED with beeswax candles over the last year or so. I'd love to purchase from someone in this community!

Autumn Rose

I know we're a similar age, and the I Spy books immediately sent me back to '97. Curious, what are some early childhood toys you look back on most fondly? For me, it's Littlest Pet Shop, Fairywinkles, and those little teeny tiny porcelain tea sets!

Autumn Rose

Most likely DragonCon in Atlanta! :)

Autumn Rose

I've always wondered what breed Frodo is. He is such a cutie!

Ashley Guaraldi

I'm so sorry for your cat... I have two cats and I feel so upset thinking about how short their lives are...

Litha

I see his white muzzle and get sad he's getting older like all of us, lost my black cat before Christmas. Wish pets lived as long as us.

Katie Dunmore

There's a lot of YouTubers that size up or otherwise adjust or draft their patterns. Bernadette Banner, Nicole Rudolph, Abby Cox, and Morgan Donner. The closet historian and for fashion but not sewing Karolina Zebroski and Sophia Nygaurds older stuff. Some even collab with each other or see each other at events. Bernadette Banner has a book on sewing, more hand sewing basics. I think she's on skill share too. But there are tutorials and classes and other restaurants out there for pattern making and altering etc. I was a fashion major years ago before switching after a.a. and still need a refresher. Patterns are intimidating! Rachel's early videos were more make it work than using commercial patterns I believe. Duck tape method more draping on your own body then making a pattern works too.

Katie Dunmore

Ohh! You’ve mentioned a “dragon con” a few times and I’m wondering if you’re referring to Dragonsteel 2024 hosted by our lord and savior Brandon Sanderson. 👀

Beth

Why is there not more Binx (or insert cat name here if incorrect)? Is she camera shy?

Katie Dunmore

If you could steal one outfit/accessory/item from any costuber/cosplayer/sewing enthusiasts, whay would you pick?

Madison Giacherio

Has your hair dye process changed at all? Where would you love to vacation next?

FenMura

Have you played Everdell? it is *the sweetest* board game, you gather resources and build a city full of woodland creatures. the artwork is absolutely beautiful, and the first time my husband and I played we both agreed that you would love it!! much love from Cincinnati 💕

Indigo Hudepohl

I would be interested to hear how you got into making videos, what kind of training you had that helped you get into YouTube. Your last video with Frieda Lepold had me laughing out loud!

Ann Tilley

i saw a comment asking if you would consider redoing or fixing projects you weren't 100% happy with, and i thought of a name for that series if you were to ever make it..."But Make It Better" 😁🤌 the little sister of "Butt Naked Vintage" lol

littlegoblingirl

Is there something new you really wanna try out this year?

Amy Lia

Can you talk about the house renovations? Would you like to do more stuff, and what was your favourite part to do?

Molly O

Where did you get the dress you used for zombie Lizzie Bennett?

Sarah Prior

Don't know if it's been asked already but how do you deal with not feeling like creating? I love making stuff but when my mental health isn't great I disappear for weeks, which is fine because it's not my job... if this is something you experience, how do you deal with it when all your deadlines are self imposed?

Anneke Caramin

If you had to pick a fictional world to live in, which one would it be and why? All the best from Vienna! (If you should ever plan a visit to Europe, I could not be more excited if you also stopped by in Vienna :D)

Luise Reinhartz

Hi! I just wanted to ask, how are you feeling? Did you find some coping mechanisms to get out of the burnout? I do hope you are feeling better and making the content we love does not hurt you. Lots of love from Spain

Laura Moreno

Hello ! Just curious : how old is Frodo ? He's such a good boy Also, I'm hosting my very first hobbit garden party this year. Any advice ?

Litha

I know you started playing Baldur's Gate recently so what are your opinions and what class etc did you choose for your Tav?

Emma-Rose Colk

What would your advice be for cosplay confidence?

Emma-Rose Colk

Would love to know if you know what The Moomins are!? And to also witness you a Count Olaf, haha. Love from Denmark in Scandinavia 👋🇩🇰

Natasha Grossman

All the questions I want to ask seem to be here, possibly when did it click with you to wear your own style without being worried of other people commenting, I’m still waiting… I. have the outfit but not quite the courage..

sharon steward

How did you get started on YouTube?

Jillian McCarty

I was wondering if you think about more floor troll and other merch options, I'd love to buy that floor troll shirt ❤️

Crimson나비

What is your next home renovation project? That is my favorite videos! 😁

Caroline Nielsen

I went through and hearted some great questions I had already haha- •how/why you started YouTube •fav piece you’ve created •revisiting old creations and adding or improving? •hair dye process and color and brand :) My question is how did you get started sewing clothes and such-I would love to do it but I’m definitely a plus size (xl-xxl or 16-18) but the patterns I find have measurements that don’t match the normal clothes I wear. I want to cosplay so badly and wear Edwardian/victorian/whimsical clothes everyday and would love to make my own but sewing is so intimidating since I only did it when I was a teen and wasn’t very good (im literally only two months older than you lol)

Jessica Weber

What time is the livestream tomorrow? It will be my first since becoming a patron and I don't want to miss it! Thanks beautiful! 💚💚💚💚💚 (UPDATE) I was thinking it was a livestream but now I realize it's not... 😕 major bummer! Lol I look forward to the video!

The Haunted Pirate

Have you thought about doing a “YouTube anniversary” episode? Revisit your early days? Maybe remake one of your first projects or your favorite project from that year?

Tammy Warner

What's the next ambitious costume recreation on your list, or what's one that might scare you to try?

Mina Murray

No pressure... Is there is any place where merch can be acquired? (NGL, I'm really interested in a floor troll shirt)

Marlo Dayton

What is the story of frodo? How and when did you get the handsome boy?

Romaji Kitty

Did you see the trailer for the movie "Damsel" and get inspired, or was that just me? Also, doesn't the main actress (Millie Bobby Brown) look like somebody familiar with red hair we all know...*flashes back to the first time seeing that trailer by myself and saying to myself "When did you become a stunt double?"

Dreamingofpemberly

What is your favorite Halloween decoration? (I have a fiber-optic Jack-o'-lantern🎃)

Danielle Bergmann

Fern

Not really on topic/content/brand, but since I’m looking into adopting a dog soon I am wondering about Frodos backstory/ origin story.

Sabrina Durkee

What is currently your favorite fashion era to wear? Where would you like to visit for your next personal vacation/trip? If you ever want to visit the Black Hills in South Dakota, I can hook you up with great places to stay/eat/hike/etc! 😊 It’s not as exciting as like going out of the country or something, but it is very beautiful and peaceful here! Do you ever get task paralysis and if you do, how do you deal with it? I feel like my ADHD is constantly making me want to make a million different things but I can’t get myself to start on any of them or finish them if I do start them 😅

Laurel Boss

Have you visited the west coast? Do you want to? (I'm in Oregon)

Shannen Brouner

How do you prioritize projects and events? I am a creator too and I always feel there isn’t enough time and I have projects I have wanted to do for years that keep getting bumped back as new ideas come.

Katherine Young

I know you've said you really don't like sewing, but with the sewing projects you've enjoyed, what's been the part of that process that's brought you the most joy?

Ashleigh Ann Gardner

Who are your favorite creators/artists to follow? 🖤

Elizabeth McDaniel

What inspires you to keep creating? Do you ever feel like you are running out of ideas? (Ps: I just recently joined the fellowship, though I have been watching you for years.

Hayley Chandler

What is the most challenging part of being a content creator?

Aim Withmoore

Have you seen Jennifer’s Body and is it the most sapphic horror romance ever?

Season Evergreen

What fabric are you most afraid to cut into? Are there any craft supplies that you’re too nervous to use?

Do you plan on purging some things soon? If you do a clothing cleanout can you post on here before you do? I’ve been dreaming over a skirt you had mentioned about donating or listing and I would give you my Frodo’s (Bowie and Mercury) for it. Just kidding. Kind of.

Elon Bond

A question I had a while back, when you sold your other house did you paint over your bedroom mural?

Silly Ellie

A few: Oscar predictions? What would you wear to the Oscars? Random practical question: how do your taxes work being a self employed creator??

Kendra Sherrill

Just watched your most recent video, and honestly think if a local elementary or middle school could use it for a play or production, you could donate it instead of recycling it! It's too pretty to not be used again!

Krystle

I'm moving a little ways outside Boston soon. Any recommendations on fun/whimsical/pretty places to go or things to do in that region?

Morgan Milton

Now that you have so much land, have you thought of planting a garden like veggies?

I'm curious how you found making YouTube videos when you first started. I'm just starting and already co-workers have found my account. Did you find it embarrassing? Any advice?

Olivia McLeod

How involved is Nick in all your projects? Is he camera shy? 🤣

Did Christine McConnell react to your video of the tarentulla cookies ?

Do you have any home renovations planned for 2024?

Hailey Miller

Do you ever have trouble getting inspired for your next project? If so, what do you do?

Carol Partonen

In your earlier videos there is a brass mouse on your shelf by the fireplace. My grandmother (who raised me, and has now passed) had one just like it! Sadly, none of us know where it went. We called her “Mouse” instead of Grandma, and she always signed her name with a little mouse drawing. I’d love to have a closeup of your mouse so I may search for a replacement. I’ve just recently discovered your videos and thank you for the escape from my stress-filled teacher life ❤️

sarah wise

There seems to be a huge increase in Rachelcore You Tubers these days. What are your feelings on that?

Karen Kettells

I know you've probably said it in a video before, but my memory is crap so I'll ask here lol. Is there a particular project that you reflect on that you feel a lot of pride in, or one that you would consider to be your favorite? It could be a personal one where you didn't record the making of. Is there a project that you'd like to revisit and revamp?

Hagan

Would you ever hire an assistant or editor to aid you in content creation?

Ashley Johnson

Are the clothes that your friend makes (the Ain't That Just The Way sweatshirt for example) done using a Silhouette or Cricut?

Also, could you please recommended some other creators that inspires you (insta/youtube/tiktok)

Will you create Beatrice’s dress from Over the Garden Wall. The one from the last episode when she is human again. I think that would be a really cool video idea

LydiaMaycock

Handsome frodo 😍😍 my question is have you ever played dungeons and dragons? If so, what class and race did you/would you play? ❤️

Caitlin Dean

Where do you store all your creations? Specially your really big projects. Also so you feel sad about taking some of your bigger projects apart after taking so long making them? Like your trees you just made.

I am looking at doing a 501st legion Cosplay/Costume. Do you have any tricks, tips or general advice for the process of it. I'm doing a Boussh Costume and more I look at how to go about it, the more it becomes a little overwhelmingly scary 🤣

Greetings and salutations from Adelaide, SA! No question because it's 8am and I can't brain just yet, but I just wanted to let you know you inspire me creatively and I also refer to myself as a floor troll when I sew. I think we have a similar chaotic personality which is why I feel so happy watching your videos 🥰

Tiarna Lehmann

I'd like to know what it was like to jump into doing something creative full time! If you have any advice for us scared, creative babies.

Frodo is so stinkin cute! Have you ever considered doing any Broadway cosplay? Specifically my favorite musicals The Phantom of the Opera and Jekyll and Hyde!

What is a “secondary life goal” of yours? Primary life goals are generally the biggies: family, career, love, etc. But I always like hearing about folks’ secondary life goals- they tell so much about what a person values. For example, one of mine is to one day own a historic Victorian house with a tower (the tower is very important). Would love to hear one of yours! ❤️ love from Michigan.
