The (outdated) Vlog of Things That Went Wrong
This video was supposed to go up early October, which is when it was filmed. I'd intended for it to be the first of two weekly progress logs documenting my ambitious plans for October (which I went through in this video).
But if you saw this video (filmed at the same time) then you'll know all my plans failed big time. Because of that I was left with a vlog that was more complaining than it was sewing. I debated about posting it at all, but I'm in the process of filming a new weekly vlog and I thought it would be fun to compare a good week vs a bad one. So here it is!
Also, this is just a bonus video - there will be at least two other Patreon exclusive videos this month. And they are coming very soon - starting off with a sketch/plan with me for November and December. So if for some reason you don't want to here me complain about failed projects, than there will be other content up soon.
I took a bit of a break from filming at the start of this month (There was some family stuff going on, and I knew I wouldn't have the chance to film - it's part of why I posted so much in October). But that is sorted now and I'm back on track.
Thanks for your patience and support, as always! My break from filming has kind of been a break from the internet in general, so I'll be responding to messages tonight and tomorrow. Sorry for the delay.

Thanks for sharing this one Angela, great to see a new video of you. It’s clear that last month was a bumpy ride. Kudos for pulling through and delivering some great pieces. The mix of hit and misses, make your videos interesting to watch. How did the second hat succeed? I’m curious about that one. Have great week😄.
I’ve been having a bit of a rough time recently with my cosplay and video tutorials that I’ve been posting up- so thank you for being candid about the problems that you have been facing. It gives me hope that we all hits bumps in the road and we get through it. Xoxo
I gave up on using scissors to cut out a pattern. I couldn't get a smooth cut on the material. So I bought a quilters board and a rotary roller cutter. Things are cut smoothly now.
I am fascinated with your work regardless of the state of progress. It’s ok to have un-completed projects, god knows I’ve had my share. I’m glad you shared this with us, it just makes you human 😀. Great job on the buttons cleaning thing, you are very lucky to have a Grandma that loves you by sending you tons of buttons! Mary
Buttons!!!!!!!! I love buttons... I also like seeing the mistakes it just shows that we all sew it wrong sometimes! ;)
I definitely wouldn't mind you posting about failed projects. It's nice to have a "bookend" of sorts to go with your September/October plans and sketches. I'm sure that sewing and designing is like any other form of art: some weeks, every idea and every project goes very well; some weeks, the opposite is true. All you can do is to persevere through the bad weeks, knowing a good (or even great) week is coming to you. I admire your persistence and your patience with yourself and your artistic skills. Just keep on creating and learning, and bring us along your journey. We support you 100%!!
it is interesting to watch your 'candid' videos not every project works out likr you think it will. I made a mock up for a dress pattern i've used alot ( ive made 4 dresses from it) and it went wonderfully and at the same time i made a pants type pattern and it went... bad. its weird how things work out
