I LOVE that u use a lot of old rose and chocolate in your color pallet. ❤

Tammy Evans

Such a sweet gift! Beautiful!!!

georgia devine

As 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. ❤️

Dawn Hutchins

Awesome work as usual! Very beautiful aprons 💜

Sharon Brito

I love the bat that she embroidered on the apron. Is there a way to download the bat pattern?

the pattern of the apron is in the post of november 29th, 2019. the pattern of the gift box is on the post of december 2nd 2019.

Andrew Buse

I would like to know this answer as well.

Megg Sohn

If you scroll back, she puts up the music for the $7+ folks.

Whats the name for the soundtrack used at the end when the finished aprons are being displayed? I'd love to download it :) so good!

Katey Lempares

Hello! 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!

Paige Phelan

Christine 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!

Tet

Your 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!

Where can I find the download?,

MichelleShari

I 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...

Julia Bywater

What a beautiful episode, thank you Christine 🖤

ZombeeAttack

It's a mechanic's tool I think.

Aunt Debbie Halloween

Oh that's weird - I thought the same thing!

Geoff Durham

I 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!

Hillary A Mills

I was wondering that too! It looks like a grasper used for laparoscopic surgery.

Darling Cottage Diary

Oh I love this so much! I’ve 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 🎀 Also, your pets are adorable 😊

Ashleeta

Im wondering if Im able to ask you questions about crafting here Im looking for advice on cutting holes to fill with grommets

Danielle Manuelito

The music in this episode is so good! 😍

Satine ♡

I love it ✨ I'd really like to sew one for Christmas but I have two babies taking all my time. We will see if I can do it 😄

Theresa Clay

I love watching you work and your cats crack me up!

Aunt Debbie Halloween

What 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!

Victoria Chaires

I subscribed to your patreon just for this!! You've gotten me so excited to be crafty and I have never sewn :)

Kathryn Evers

I tried to tell her that, not that I sew, but my mother did!

Lucy Wolski

I haven't sewed since middle school, but I'm inspired to sew a baking apron now.

Channon Rose

I 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.

SarahHerndon

So so excited for the gift box’s!! The apron was to die for.. 😍 even though I can’t sow to save my life, it was very fun to watch. 😍

Cora Kathlea

Also I had a suggestion, you should try a leather thimble for your middle finger when you hand sew, it really helps.

Cora Kathlea

What nail polish do you use? It is so beautiful.

Aunt Debbie Halloween

Also - it's SO nice of you to make an apron for the person who lost their mother on Halloween.

MsTek

Is your fluffy cat a Ragdoll cat?

Ivy Bombshell

This 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.

Aunt Debbie Halloween

Great 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!

Ellen

I have some of her bat ones, they are awesome

Paula Osborne

Aww thank you.

SarahHerndon

Your hair is gorgeous!

Jeanelle Boyle

Hey! Can anyone tell me if they know how many yards of fabric are needed for this pattern? Thanks!

Peggy

it shouldn't be very hard to alter the pattern :)

Bree

This 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

Erm my waist is about 35 inches...

Saltywench

It 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

Lucy

Will 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

Brenda L.

Hi 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! I admire how you are self taught and design things with your creative vision 🥰 so happy to subscribe and I hope to move to another tier in the future 💕🥰

Jess

A 26" waste?! SERIOUSLY?What the heck! No wonder Christine looks like a Barbie doll!

Jess

Girl, I was just thinking the same thing about myself! I don't even think one of my kids could wear that!

Paula Osborne

Good job I didn't win in a way. The size of that tiny apron wouldn't do up round my spare tyre.

Hannah Lea

A Day in the Life of Professor Poof, the Paperweight <3

Serena Roberts

I 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!

James Anthony

Any 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.

Sara E Briggs

I 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!

Nikki

Holy 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! You’ve definitely inspired me and I can’t wait to tackle this project as well as the coffin box! Thank you!

Elizabeth

Love love love this!!! 🖤

M W

They’re just so beautiful!!

Laura Auld

The aprons are just incredible. I'm here for the ⚰️ box tutorial! 🖤

April

Great video, Christine! I honestly don’t care about aprons, but now I HAVE to make one😍! Thanks for the inspo!

Kait

Dear Christine, I am always impressed at your craftwomanship. Those aprons were absolutely gorgeous. Your kindness knows no bounds. Also, I think this video is well edited. You should be proud of your first time editing attempt it came out amazing.

Denise Osborne

I loved it. Hopefully I can get another sewing machine of my own to give this a try. I've been through a few machines as well

Sara Briggs

This was such a great episode. I've been looking for a good vintage looking apron pattern and this gave me some great tips and ideas. Thanks so much for all that you do. I love it all!❤❤

Karmell Mazurek

video was done well! Thank you for doing it and can't wait for dress tutorials in future

Вея Веспер

Hi, Christine! I don’t know where to text you, but I never received the Halloween card. If you have time, could you please check it if I was in your mailing list? Thank you! P.S.: this episode is so beautiful and cozy! I can’t wait to take a courage to make my own apron! 👗

Naama

Such 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 videos🥰 One of my kitties was watching intently with me, but then I fussed with her paws too much and she left...😏🐾 Can't wait for the box video!!

Fraser Poorman

This is hands down the best video you released! 🙌🏻🖤

Lauren

This is gorgeous! Can we can suggest project ideas? I think you could create a beautifully spooky and elegant musical "ballerina" style jewelry box! 😍

Jessica bush

Love 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.

Bianca Sewake

I’m so excited you’re 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. 😸

Meredith Steele

Love it!!! Your best video yet. <3

Amber Arden

Cannot Wait to watch this when I get home!

Laura Atkins

Thank you for the video! Looking forward to the coffin box videos 🦇

Hali & Taylor Baird

Is 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 I’d love to buy some of the things myself!! Also, if the winner of the makeup kit wants to let us know that works too!!

Christina

Loved 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. 💕✨💯

Carnation

This 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? That’s a cool project I’d love to do☺️

Summer Rose Barnes

So fun, loved this. 🖤🖤🖤. It was a nice treat to wind down after a crazy Thanksgiving. We hope you had a great Thanksgiving day too!

Libby Milch

Love this, Christine! Can’t wait to see your box tutorial. I collect dolls and this design looks perfect!!!🖤🖤🖤🖤

berylvenus

Looks beatiful, thank you for sharing the pattern!! Gonna try this soon.

Jennifer Treviño

Just a heads up that there are multiple people sharing Patreon only videos in public forums.

Robin D.

I love your pearl headed pins!

POOF!

Sarah Cortez

Christine we will have to send you some thimbles.

Alice Barker

Hey Christine, could you please give the option of buying the download to the tiers below $7. That would be amazing ❤️

Nancy Jones

Fabulous! Amazing talent.

E. M

Beautiful apron! That shot of the snow rising instead of falling was very cool too. Can't wait to see the coffin boxes get made.

Shannon R Smith

This was so much fun to watch!! You put so much love into your projects, it's really as remarkable as your technical talents. And the kittens, the wintery interlude, the cute ending! I'm awestruck by your videos every time.

Aisling Doherty

My partner bought me a sewing machine for Christmas . Iv never done this before . But I’m so determined to make that apron . Thank you for the video . It’s amazing !!!

LFR

I 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!

Kelly-Anne Spong

I'm sewing skills are not that great, but I am definitely giving this a go

Holly Bagley

Thank you for bringing such beauty and talent to this world! I loved these aprons and the amazing coffin boxes they lie in. I’ve always wanted to try my hand at sewing but felt so (sew) intimidated! I’m definitely going to be using this pattern and asking my aunt for help. I can’t wait to show my aunt your work! She’s a seamstress and I think she will be just as fascinated with your raw talent as anyone who see’s how beautiful your work is. Thank you for taking so much time to share all of the wonderful ideas from your mind Christine!🖤

Lauren M

Gorgeous! I love your cats 😹

Lauren Hawksworth

I love this, it's definitely something I would love to try and make! You mentioned trying to find spooky shaped pins and Helena Garcia who was a contestant on The Great British Bake Off (one of my favourite shows!) makes these adorable and very useful bat shaped ones, I hope you like the look of them :) http://www.candycandyjewellery.co.uk/product/details/408/bat-headed-sewing-pins.html
