Celebrating 50K YouTube Subscribers!

Let’s Celebrate!

I can’t tell you how excited I was to see 50,000 of you have subscribed to my YouTube channel! I can still remember putting up my first videos 10 years ago.

I thought a fun way to celebrate is to do a giveaway every week for the next month. YEAH! The official entry form is below or click here. You will see details on that form and there will be many opportunities to get extra entries. Today, you can leave a comment below telling me your favorite video or share the link from YouTube.

Can you guess what has been the most viewed video?

The most viewed video on my YouTube channel is from an episode of It’s Sew Easy tv. A draping tutorial of all things! I originally designed the pink gown by draping and entered this into a contest for ASDP. The gown has over 10 yards of silk fabric and lot’s of hand beading and hand stitching. The gown made it to the finals and I wore it down the runway.

In this video I showed the process of draping a similar gown. Looks like it was a bit hit as there are currently 666,116 views with over 12,000 likes! Thanks Wolfpack!!

This new batch of fabric is called LUXE CUDDLE and the colors are so fun! If you look closely these three colors have specs of silver and gold metallic.
