I Let Wikipedia Choose my Next Sewing Project
Hey remember in 2018 when it was a trend for people to "Let So-and-So Pick my Makeup" or some other jazz like that? Well HELLO HI, here I am 6 years later!
I thought it might be fun to gather some inspo and ideas for my next sewing adventure through the use of the 'random article' function on Wikipedia. I definitely got some... varied results and EVENTUALLY came up with a plan.
Hope you enjoy this chaotic mess!

The Curler SHOWDOWN - Foam Rollers, Pincurls & That Viral TikTok Thing
Переглядів 344 тис.21 день тому
DING, DING! Let the battle of the heatless curls COMMENCE! In lieu of me being super busy preparing for a convention (con crunching if you will), I needed to do something a little simpler for this week. SOOO, I pulled out an experiment that I've been wanting to try for years, and can finally test now that my hair is back to mid-length! I wanted to compare how the sets of foam rollers, pincurls,...

Who's been putting off organizing all my craft stuff for years???? Definitely not me. But as a pure coincidence, let's do some decluttering!

I got to work restoring her, and then tackling ALL of my craft supplies that have been haunting me. I hope y...

    I absolutely love the clone war era. I lowkey don’t even bother watching Attack of the Clones anymore because Padmè and Anakin's relationship is really cringy in that film. But all the shows bad batch, clone wars ect I couldn’t live without. Anyways sorry I went on that tangent, I love the Padmè dress you made Rachel!

    For all their faults, the prequels were largely cohesive. The sequels were fun as individual movies, but they were very disjointed as a trilogy.

  • @rohn_kota2192
    @rohn_kota2192 19 годин тому

    They were badly written, fully of obnoxious (if not flat out racist with some) characters. Anakin was a fucking whiny bitch and got tricked by a pedophilic queen and octogenarian into destroying a time of peace not seen since the old republic. If you like them thats fine but they, like the sequals, were NOT good movies

    It seems that you're curling wand was a little too thick for the length of your hair. What works really good. Get your synthetic fleece robe. The belt. Use that. When you start doing the back of the hair. Instead of you pulling that from the back forward you actually need to take the hair the opposite direction. There are many tutorials on this. There is young lady that does hair and makeup. And she does it with her robe belt. Just like I'm sharing... That is the thickness you need for your hair. And you need to be a little more strategic with how much hair you're pulling in with your wrap..

    The barn one was my favorite! I did a scandinavian floral design on the back of a door back in January. No freehanding for me tho LOL I designed it, printed, traced it and then I felt confident enough to go in with the paints. Took me a lot more time, but on the plus side, playing around with it on the computer allowed me to choose my colors and shades beforehand, so I already knew what the finished product was gonna look like before I even started

    Using Bobbie pins : you hold the hair at your scalp with one finger and then wrap your hair around your finger keeping it on the scalp. Easy . Trying to roll up from the ends of hair is too tedious and ridiculous. And you never brush your hair!! Use a comb or your fingers just like you would with the beach curler!

    I dunno dude, I feel like you killed it. I liked the black fingertips on the gloves, because it upped the spoop factor, and just think, the "ears" are for underwater, where your hair is floating about! Hair and gill thingies don't naturally occur, so eh!

    Hi Rachel, I agree with what everyone has said. YOU need to take care of YOU, I don't sub but my phone so far still recommends you. I don't always manage to see all your videos, because I have at least 8 others to watch & I hate seeing you Stress out. Have you thought about making little Animals in costumes, it would take less time, At the moment I'm making 40 Christmas gifts. But I'm not relying on just my Felt Makes, I'm painting too & I'm making things with Buttons & Wooden Beads & I'm halfway there & I have the Summer Holidays too. Please Know that you all think of you & learn to Craft at a Table it will be good. 😊

    I'm going to confess something that might sound like an insult, but I really do mean it as a way of freeing you so you don't have to make long videos every time... Rachel, I don't think I've watched more than five of your long (more than 15 minutes) videos all the way from beginning to end because there's a certain point where me as someone who actually doesn't know how to sew doesn't find it all that compelling... But I watch at least some of every new video you put out because I adore you. And I think if you divided them up into part 1 and part 2, I probably would watch from beginning to end both parts because although my attention span isn't so bad that I can't read books anymore, it is bad enough on my phone that I kind of need 10 minutes or less. That being said, I'm sure of ton of people disagree, so feel free to do what makes most sense for you and the vast majority of your viewers
