I'm pretty shy by nature, so finally doing this is a big leap for me. For years, my eldest son has tried talking me into starting a YouTube channel for sewing but I always chickened out. Honestly the sheer thought of talking on video gives me butterflies. But I'm going to do this, there's absolutely no reason to fear this.....right? Really what do I have to lose? Nothing that I can think of. Either my experience will help others or it won't.
What will Sewing for Dolls offer-a weekly sew along for seamstresses of all sewing levels with a focus on teaching less experienced seamstresses how to sew for dolls. I'm also planning on releasing a short video every Tuesday and Thursday that focus on a quick sewing tip or trick. I may be biting off more than I can chew by planning on releasing three videos a week while juggling homeschool and therapy for my youngest. But I'm going to try my hardest to pull this off 😉
SEW ALONG
On the last Wednesday of every month I'll have a post here on the blog and on the Facebook Group that will let you know what sew alongs I have planned for the month ahead along with links to the patterns we'll be using. Originally I was going to post weekly, but figured some of you may be like me and don't have regular access to a fabric store and have to plan your projects ahead of time so that you can gather all your supplies in one trip or order them, which can take forever. The First sew along will be Saturday August 7th
I would like to try and keep the sew along videos to twenty to thirty minutes maximum. I think this will be possible since there's a lot of pinning, cutting and repetitive sewing that doesn't need to be shown. We'll see, if you have any thoughts on this I would love to hear them.
SHORT VIDEOS
Short videos will be 2-5 minutes long and be about sewing tips and tricks. They will also include topics such as preparing your fabric and sewing terms. Basically sewing information at a glance instead of having to watch full length videos to find the information that you need. I will try to post a new one every Tuesday & Thursday. If the short video is relevant to our Sew Along, I will post them the same day as the sew along.
