Sewing Machine - Brother SE-400 - Jak na to + styl
Subtle, nerdy wardrobe pieces is the best kind of wardrobe pieces imo! Also, this video serves the exact kind of chaotic sewing energy I need to pull me through my first con crunch in two years 😂
Haha thanks so much! And yay! I hope you thrive through your con crunch!
I'm glad I'm not the only one who finds comercial pattern instructions confusing 😅
I swear every time I’m like you know this time WE ARE GOING TO USE THE INSTRUCTIONS🧐 I get clowned on and I end up having to take it apart and do it my way anyways 😅
I never knew a button foot was a thing! I would probably be too afraid to ever use it >.
I just discovered your channel today while doing a mountain of embroidery for my own cosplay and I’m so glad I did!! your videos are so entertaining and informative, and it’s also fun to see another cosplayer in the south east :D here’s hoping this comment takes you one step closer to monetization!!
Aww thank you so much! That means so much to me really! And good luck with your embroidery!!
button foot wins my vote as it can be used for other things like hook and eyes, and saves more time than the buttonhole foot because it swaps hand stitching for machine stitching whereas the buttonhole foot just makes the machine stitching slightly easier. both are great though and I might just be biased because my machine didn't come with a buttonhole foot, so I could just be trying to make myself feel better by downplaying its greatness 😊
What! That’s amazing 🥹 I just learned about this foot today and it can save me from the hook and eyes? Buttonhole foot isn’t too bad but I never knew what it was for because my grandmas machine didn’t have one so I usually just forget it exists but now this button foot 😏 is a different issue. That sounds lit 🔥my hook and eyes are always so ugly 😭
The worst thing for me about commercial patterns,p is how the measurements listed aren’t the finished measurements. I just made a mock-up of a pinafore pattern and found out that the size that should have fit me perfectly according to the measurements has about 5 inches of ease and so I’m gonna have to size down 2 to 3 sizes.
YES! Thats exactly what happened to me, I should have been fine with one size up for a coat but nope, had to take about the same as you did to get it down.
Most patterns also have a finished measurement listed on the pattern somewhere as well. I always check both just in case.
@@Earendilgrey the pattern I was talking about here didn’t have finished measurements sadly.
Lol I was always getting goodwill patterns from different eras that were already cut out as a kid or from my grandma so I was definitely like. I'm gonna need like HELLA ease and HELLA mockup 🤣
@@iridescenttears3712 It drives me nuts when the pattern doesn't have finished measurements!
Yay! I was wondering if you knew Lizard! I love their channel, & their amazing cos plays. I'm definitely team buttonhole foot. To speed up sewing on buttons by hand, double the thread before you put it through the needle, so that you sew with a quadruple thickness. Your coat is so lovely! But commercial patterns add a lot of ease, so for historic-style garments, or costumes, you can often size down. Greetings from Czechia!
As always, I love how educational your videos are!!
Thank you!
Wohooo - I am not the only one who thinks commercial pattern instructions are impenetrable. Thank you for sharing this opinion, it makes me feel less alone in thinking that pattern drafting is less confusing than trying to work out what the step-by-step instructions on the patterns saying.
me too !!
The button foot is my new favourite discovery from your channel
Klee is the cutest and I'm trying to learn to sew just to make a Klee cosplay, but by the time Im ready I might not even like genshin anymore haha
Klee isnt a bad first project! Im sure you could do it! :)
@@SarahSpaceman I hope so! But I am an absolute beginner haha I can't even get my stitches straight yet 🤷♀️
@@Levvieeeany updates? ^^
Commercial patterns have plagued me my whole life. Your explanations and guidance give me hope that I will be able to create things that actually fit me properly! You are a wonderful creator. Thank you for everything you do!
That button foot is a lifesaver! I got so mad at buttons; I never do then right and I'm not even making the coats, just fixing preexisting ones that also had bad buttons!
I’m making a Klee cosplay around this time this was amazing!
Wow! The coat looks great :D
I too fear buttons but this gives me hope lol
Glad im not the only one who thought they were scary haha!
i've been watching a tonnnn of your videos lately and i love how well edited they all are! you're so good at explaining concepts while still keeping it fun and interesting and i'm a little obsessed. i found you while looking at wig styling videos and HAD to see the miku one, but i've been watching more while working on a veryyy simple cosplay to wear at my job during a local con in like 2 weeks (i work at a ramen shop half a block from the hotel it's held at, so you can imagine how it goes).
i used to cosplay a bit back whwen i was in high school/early college and haven't really touched it in a few years, so i feel really rusty. watching you "overexplain" some sewing basics has either been informative or exciting for me, since i can't remember how or if anyone ever actually taught me some basics, and when i see i actually have been doing things correctly i feel accomplished lol.
it's a shame i'm not into genshin because i might have watched this video earlier, ideally 2 weeks earlier when i was making a vest for a quick sanji cosplay for work and totally fucked it up twice. i might have saved myself some time seeing this sooner. same with the buttonholes, i just hand sewed them yesterday and they are crustyyyyy
anyway, i love your videos! you made me want to get back into cosplaying, even if we cosplay totally different things. never in my life have i ever wanted to try to make a frilly dress, but now i kinda do :)
I swear, her videos always make me smile by the end of them. The videos are just super creative and fun to watch, especially while I do crafts
im so glad i have notifs on for your channel! this turned out so cute!! (i cant wait for a klee rerun to have her on my team! :D)
I learn so much watching your videos! Keep it up Sarah!
Really nicely done little coat. Its adorable.
woo i used the inverted corner tutorial and it worked perfectly, so helpful
I LOVE THE BUTTON HOLE FOOT IT MAKES LIFE EASIER
Wow. First time seeing this channel and its great. I'm not into cosplay myself, but I have immense respect for the people who do. GL on the channel and your future cosplays.
I appreciate another cosplayer who cannot stand commercial patterns. I loathe cutting them out and YES the instructions hurt my brain. I find so much more satisfaction and sanity in patterning myself. I am glad to know there are others wired like me.
I dont know what it means that i just started sewing last april but now i know how to construct my own patterns, ive made my own costumes already but theyre either sailor uniforms or existing clothes from thrift shops which i gave a make over
What i do is use my existing clothes and trace them to make my pattern or i look for tutorials on how to make certain clothes
That’s great! That’s a super great way to learn how to pattern.
Button holes are simultaneously the easiest things and the hardest things to sew. I had to make six of them for a project and I about died.
My thing is I always get all but ONE perfect. And I’m like 😤 why. Why are you doing this. Ill never forget doing a full like 20 button placket down the FRONT of a dress cut from vintage fabric I didn’t have enough to recut and didn’t want to waste any of and like the freaking one above the waistline wanted to be wonky. Why did you have to be like this 🥲 it’s been 10 years and I still am mad about it.
I have both those feet in a little bag that came with my machine and I never knew what they were for! Thanks!! The coat is super cute too
i love the nerdy clothes that arent explicitly nerdy, i need more in my life!
also the button foot is absolutely wild to me
New to the channel just been binge watching while I finish up all my Christmas projects
my mouth wide open when i saw the button foot. never know it exist. as always great video. always boost my serotonin level to get sewing
Aww thanks! And I did the same thing when i first heard about it too haha!
Button foot! 😍 I have an old machine without any programs.. the zigzag stitch is my best friend
I just want to say that I love ur work and channel so much :0!!!
Tysm!!
Amazing Video like always 😍
It looks really nice :D
As someone who only learned their machine came with a buttonhole stitch and foot (an potentially a button stitcher!) from this video I have to say both are amazing and thank you for showing me what that strange piece of white plastic is for!
Stunning work as always! Looks super snuggly!
Thank you! and it is really nice and soft 🥰
Omg I am making a Klee costume rn! Your coat looks so super cute
Aww yay! Im sure yours is going to be so cute!
The Mona and Qiqi stickers!
So cute.
Klee is also me favorite 😊
button foot for sure. I had no idea that even existed lol! I love this coat!! you're so talented
AHH iTS ADORABLE
Very pretty 😃
recently found your channel and that's pretty cute
reminds me of one time I bought just some gray jeans and blue white stripe shirt at some random store and suddenly felt like I was Casually Cosplaying as Bakura from yugioh.
I looked normal cuz it was just a shirt and jeans but inside my evil Egyptian soul was being awakened xD
tho I definitely would like to learn making clothes so I can make casual stuff with patterns that are a bit more obvious to what they based on ... cuz not all anime characters are as basic as bakura who just has a common blue abd white stripe shirt u can easily find at any store xD
The button foot is very cute
i’m always afraid to make my own coats so thanks for making it look doable.
I feel so validated. Even when I started sewing as a child I saw them instructions and said...Nah Imma puzzle it together.
1:16 that is why I gave up on sewing a garment for myself like 20 years ago! Maybe I will try again now that CZcams tutorials exist :)
It was actually nice that you cut the pattern too big, 'cause it gave you the chance to do a fuller skit thingy that matches Klee's sillouete even better
awesome lov KLEE
buttonhole foot my beloved
This is the exact pattern I have fought with off and on for years now as my next winter coat that I just never happen to actually make bc I want to over tailor it to oblivion and get to intimidated to do anything more with ahahaha. Nice to watch someone else complete it though! Little spiritual closure for me…
For the button hole foot vs. button foot debate, I choose the button hole foot. The button foot is cool, but fiddly. The button hole foot is also fiddly, but to me, button holes seem so much harder to make than buttons are to attach, so I feel like that's a more miraculous invention 😂
That button foot is so cool and scary😅
I like using commercial patterns as a base, then do my odder cuts and seams from there. It does save some time in having to draft out certain things I hate, especially sleeves. I make a muslin and then chop it up from there.
That’s my issue I hate drafting, setting sewing and ANYTHING sleeves. Which is weird because I do pants fine?
Очень мило очень красиво
I recently bought my first sewing machine. Got a used machine for super cheap, and it only came with button and buttonhole feet.
Still trying to get proper feet, but it's like 40 years old, so spare parts are a little difficult to come by.
Long story short, button hole foot is the best of the two.
You blew my mind with that button foot like wtf
Best arson outfit.
I want to do something like this wow!
hey this looks awesome! what fabric did you use for the sleeve mock-up?
This outfit reminds me of the school trip I took to France one winter. I was on a bus in Paris. I saw a cute girl in a red coat. I looked at her and she turned away, pretending that she wasn't looking at me. We stole glances at each other until finally we arrived at her stop. She looked back once more before stepping into the street and out of my teenage life forever.
But I've never been to France. The coat is just that good. Hope this helps with engagement :D
This video made me figure out on the buttonhole foot and button foot was. When go my sewing machine I didn’t know what it was( my sewing machine came will them).
Totally the button hole foot.
I can make my own parents But I have also used commercial patterns but I had never in my life actually follow the instructions I just cut it piece of altogether and make it work
I wish I could subscribe multiple times
If I could only have one for the rest of my life I would choose the button foot
So, for those of you who want to make your comercial patterns more robust, there is a neet trick that Costuming Drama put out there. What you do is take a waxed baking sheet paper and on the lowest setting of your iron, wax side down on the paper, iron it onto the pattern paper. It will stick to the pattern paper, make it strong enough to fold up neatly and easy to store. This will extend the life of your pattern and make it nicer to use.
Noted! I’ll have to try that with some of my more vintage patterns that I use for reference.
Button foot gang rise up!!
Buttonhole foot is best, hand sewing buttons is literally the easiest, (well maybe after straight seams) and I could almost certainly handsew it in the time it would take to fiddle the machine into the right width zigzag.
I want to make something like this but a white mage coat from final fantasy. 😊
Sarah do you think we can have tutorials on your favorite pattern making tricks and what we can do if we come across something unusual in cosplay? Along with your favorite books?
Thats such a good idea thank you! I was thinking about making something like that, but I'll have to disappoint you, I dont have any patterning books yet, but Lady Rebecca Fashions has a great video on some really cool costuming books you should check out!
One time I bought a coat from eBay about the same style, for a similar reason. To cosplay without actually cosplaying. But… I bought it from a seller in china and…. A size 3X was actually like a size small here in America 🫠
I ended up giving it to a good friend of mine that didn’t know the lore behind the cosplay 😂
I am chaotic and don’t use the button foot (even though I have one and am perfectly capable of actually using it). I just use the standard foot to hold my buttons in place while I do the zig zag method lol
Very valid
That’s smart. I didn’t even think about that!
Botton foot is cooler and I only know how to hand sew but I can’t wait till I get an actually a sewing machine.❤
if i could get it, when its cold, specially this weathers, when i cosplay klee and i get cold, i could use that coat!🙀😸
Okay but personally the foot that makes the buttonhole is so much cooler to me lol I’d rather sew in every button by hand for the rest of FOREVER if it meant I didn’t have to make a buttonhole by myself again 😂😂😂
It's been YEARS using commercial patterns and I NEVER follow pattern instructions, been almost 15 years sewing.
I'm so bad at math I can't self pattern, BUT I'm super good at altering commercial patterns to make wild and strange shapes
Same! I dont ever even open the instructions other to see what shapes are in the pattern, you give me the shapes and ill just figure it out haha
Lol I don’t do either even when I draft. And boy I’ve been a big “fuck around find out” of sewing my entire life 🤣 I’ll never forget as a kid my first time finding out about bias stretch on a hem. Like I just did this yesterday what HAPPENED?
@@grandmasgopnik9642 oh god yeah the "fuck around and find out" mentality is my life blood when sewing.
"It's either gonna work, or fuck up badly and we're gonna find out real quick"
Hey hey hey so I'm gonna send you my sizes so you can make one for me? 😘😘😘
Jk... Unless 😂
I absolutely loved how this turned out! Especially all the blessed seams!
Can and would make you an all red one, (ran out of burgundy)
You're way too cute I can't
Whats the cutter tool?
Button foot is cooler but I still prefer handsewing 😅
U for forgot the white but it still looks good
Behind every self patterner is a sewist who couldn't figure out how to work commercial patterns and figured that constructing an entirely new pattern themselves was easier
Commercial patterns have an absurd amount of ease built in. The assumption from Big Four pattern companies is that you will make a muslin/mock-up for any garment for which you have bought a pattern. For something like a coat or a tailored dress, that's not necessarily an unreasonable assumption.
It is absolutely absurd assumption for *baby clothes.* The ease in the baby sleeper pattern I tried to use was an *entire year's* worth of baby sizes too big. (Baby clothes are sized by months/years of age.)
the button foot is cooler because it looks like a machine gun when it's going
I think commercial patterns are good for a beginner BUT they're outdated. I don't know how to pattern draft clothing, and many don't. We're more of a visual society now and commercial pattern companies need to start making video's for their patterns. Then when someone has the basics, they can pattern draft. But yeah, the language in patterns is so much harder to understand then it's needs to be lol
LOL I've been sewing for 30+ years and commercial patterns are indeed difficult to understand and I often just glance through them as I go...
Oh dear, that button feet seems way more dangerous and fiddly than just sewing the thing by hand XD
Who else was holding there breath while they were doing the pivoted corner?
Button hole is cooler
Not being able to understand commercial pattern instructions, is me trying to understand knitting patterns
button foot is cooler
No, no. That is not an unpopular opinion about comercial patterns. I hate them. I have used a solid 3 in my life despite sewing since I was 9.
Also the buttonhole foot is cooler. Handmade or bound buttonholes are dicks, sewing on a button is easy. Plus the only problem I ever hear about sewing on a button is if you do it too tight it can pucker the fabric, which can easily be fixed by putting a pin in the fabric horizontally if you are sewing it in vertically or vice versa. Or ya know just don't do it so tight, but some peeps struggle with that and that's okay.
Undeniably the button foot is cooler, fight me heretics.
Nah, I'm still on team hater for patterns because the paper is wayyyyyyyy too thin. Shit, it's so thin that it Thanos snaps itself if it comes within 5 miles of a gust of air, no matter how small. 😅 seriously, too, too thin.
