DIY Animal Face Bags | Make Thrift Buy #35

Hey hey! Today I am going to show you how to make cute animal-face coin purses and small shoulder bags. Enjoy the video!

As mentioned in the video, here's some dog-face templates that you can feel free use for your own bags/coin purses ^_^ Of course, even if you don't have photoshop skills, you can always just use scissors to cut out the shapes! (You'll just waste more printer ink I guess).

I hope you're all having a wonderful day,

The Style Pile Episode #4

Helloooo! So this top was a fairly new addition to the unfinished sewing pile. I got this secondhand at a markets the other day knowing full well that I am NOT a size AU8. Not by a long shot. But I really liked the style and colour sooooo I bought it anyway. Once I brought it home I thought that I may as well try it on and well.... You'll see what happened with that brilliant idea. Anyway, I put my sewing cap on and tried to upsize it! I also tried to include heaps of good/useful tips on sewing stretch fabrics in this video, which I hope are useful! Enjoy!

Asking For Your Help

I'm doing something very scary/exciting today and launching a Patreon campaign! I've never talked so openly about having an illness on my YouTube channel before, which is why it was so scary, but I wanted to be super honest with everybody!!

Anyway, Patreon is a crowdfunding platform that helps content-creators like myself fund their creative endeavours through the help of their fans and supporters. I explain it in much better detail in the video below, and on my Patreon page, so check them out.
Plus I already have 2 Patreon-exclusive vlogs up, so, there's some immediate bang for your buck ;)

Thank you for ALL of the types of support you guys have given me over the last few years!! I really really really really have appreciated all of it.

Much love,
