💕🎀 Actually Using the Gothic and Lolita Bible Sewing Patterns 🎀💕
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
I've been wanting to sew the shorts in this edition of the Gothic and Lolita Bible ever since I first discovered the publication in high school. The issue I'm using today is volume 3 from the English-language releases. I feel like most people understand that the GLBs came with sewing patterns, but I see so few examples of clothing made with them! These are intended to make ouji style knee-length shorts - although with all the alterations I made, my pair is feeling decidedly early 2000s Hot Topic Emo (this is not a bad thing). I especially love the suspender and zipper details, which remind me of the Tripp pants I was also obsessed with in high school. Overall, this project was incredibly nostalgic for me!

They remind me of this pair of hot topic pants I wanted in 2003, in a good way.

I want these in black actually
A good reminder that I can make style alterations to my patterns, not just size! Thanks!!

Learning to see patterns as a rough draft that you can build off of is 100% the most vital skill I have picked up.
rolls of cheap baking paper are a great alternative for tracing paper (the more expensive stuff tends to have a surface that doesn't take ink and pencil well)
Wow, they turned out incredible! That plaid is the perfect fabric for them. I'd love to try my hand at making something like these myself someday. Also, thank you for the idea of cleaning sewing machines with a brush. I've never seen that done before, but it makes so much sense. I guess I'm off to clean my sewing machine now!
Man, this makes me want to try sewing again... I'm not confident about being able to make pants work out well, but I might be able to work on something simpler and smaller to get comfortable for now. Thanks for being such a sewing inspiration! 🪡
Honestly, you made them look better than in the magazine. They suit you so well!
Omg I have completely forgotten about Kana 😭 I was such a fan back ages ago. This brought back some memories
These came out great and gave me major nostalgia. I have about 12 GLB in my book case and I made a bag, Gothic & Lolita Headband....and something else from them. I am no sewer, but despite being in Japanese - could successfully follow the patterns. I miss those days. Ugh, now I'm going to scour the web for some old GL Bibles lol.
Omg I never thought of using an old makeup brush to clean out my serger, that’s brilliant! Glad I saw this before throwing them out
The early 2000s Hot Topic vibes though. Love how these came out.
The finished shorts look fantastic! I'd love to see them co-ordinated other ways too
Love your sewing vlogs. This was really fun to watch, and the shorts turned out great! Would definitely love to see more of something similar. Even if it's not a tutorial, your creativity is always impressive, and makes for great videos
So happy to find a Lolita sewing channel! Mine is in french but I really love "sewing vlog style of videos" ❤️ and Lolita sewing channel is not really common! Your fabric look stunning!
omg these are SO CUTE AND BADASS absolutely love em!!!! 💕
As someone that can't sew this is so amazing, informative, and entertaining.
I am loving the resurgence of Shenanigan pants! These and Morgan Donner's pair are super different, but they both have a similar vibe that just feels so playful and full of personality!
omg I had this exact GLB back in the day and was always fascinated with the patterns! It's a dream come true to see them be made in real life!
The shorts are so cute! I love the details you added. It really makes the project 👌
I've been wanting to get into sewing more than just cosplay stuff and I might try something like that. It's such a neat look!
i've been meaning to try out the patterns for the GLB as well! i only own the first 3 volumes tho. I'd like to see the hat making if you do make it! thats the one i was planning on making!
You really brought this pattern to life!
That plaid fabric is gorgeous
Those pants flatter you so nicely. You did a great job! I wish I could wear high waisted pants, but they don't flatter my long butt and hip dips. (I love my figure, high waisted pants just don't flatter it and those are what's in right now and all you can find anywhere. Which is great! They look amazing on most people, just not me.)
Funky fresh💪🏾🎀
I have this GLB edition, this is a great video to motivate me to actually try these trousers! Speaking of chaotic pattern papers I have one big sheet with about 50 different projects on lol, I’ve been putting off tackling it
omg ur so talented 💗💗 you’ve inspired me to start trying to pick up sewing again :33
The hat would be a fun addition.
I have ALWAYS wanted to make these!! They turned out so well, super cute!
You're soooo inspiring!! Always look forward to these videos where you experiment with your style
Architect paper is cheap and comes in rolls so you don't need to tape pieces together. You can buy it on Amazon and It's what I use for patterns. I hope this helps. :)
I love these! I have 6 of these but have never tried to make them as Japanese sewing measurements are different. Thank you for this video!
Wow those shorts are so flattering. I need to get me a pair simular to those.
I was so happy to watch this!! And it’s well worth the mock-ups too I can’t wait to see this in future coordinated outfits!
Such nostalgia, you inspired me to finish a few projects I've had on the back burner for a while.
These are sooo cute and you did an amazing job, they look super good on you! Your channel is so great for people wanting to get into making their own clothes.
literally amazing they look SO good and your adjustments were just *chef's kiss*
SO CUTE!!
Well worth the many mock-ups-it looks so great!!!
I JUST got this volume in the mail the other day!
Love how the project turned out! The finished piece looks awesome on you!
Oh I love these! I have no sewing skills at all, but this is making be desperately want to work on them
This is so cool! Would love to learn more from you about tailoring and adjusting patterns to fit
Love love LOVE the fabric choice! You did great work. Well worth 4 mockups!
these pants turned oout soo cool, I'm really excited to see how you'll coord them !!! and sewing pants is such an intimading process, but I'm actually really inspired to try my hand at it after this video!
Adorable! The more you use layered patterns the easier it will become.
They look smashing and you totally rock the style!
oohh!!! this is so cooool!!!
Omg I have this volume, this vid rly helps 💕
these look so so cool!! I would 1000% wear them in green plaid!
that looks awesome! I love ur work and can't wait to get creative myself now 🖤
I remember my first glb it had a skirt pattern which I made for my first outfit. Thank you for this video it was very nostalgic!
This looks awesome
Freshly adorable! also welcomes back again, The Stitchess. sew awesome!
They look soooo cool holy crap 🤩
was so excited to see you had uploaded
man ive been wanting to try my hand at sewing for at least 2 years now 😭 i love seeing how people’s project change and come together, or even simple things like upcycling wahh i rlly should start looking deeper into this i think starting small will be best anyway, plus i wanna get back into crochet and learn to knit too… so many choices
yesss i’ve been looking for GLB sewing pattern videos
They turned out super cute !!!!! I don’t even sew I just like seeing you work on clothes :] can’t wait for more !
Love love love the hot pink.
Those are so cute!
This really makes me want to learn how to sew!
These are SO CUTE
I always wanted to sew items from the GLB, this makes me glad I never did! I do not have the skill it takes to fit from a single size! I think I'll stick to graded patterns! Yours is fabulous!
Soooo cute!!!!! I need to makes these no 😍😍😍
i remember sewing that white dress pattern on the opposite page in middle school!! i'm thinking about remaking it now
So cute and perfect for your figure ❤
I love it~
i remember kana. i remember her more for her music.
Omg you uploaded while I was watching your Q and A! How weird!

Thanks for the like hope you are enjoying the shorts I love the plaid so much
that fabric screams Monster High
So way back in the day when the English GLBs were being released, I actually used one of the patterns to make my first lolita outfit. I can't say dress because my sister split it between a top and a skirt since she was the one doing the sewing and it was easier for her. It was 2008 and all I will say is that it involved purple and black crushed velvet, and yes, it was as tragic as you are picturing. I almost got into the 5th issue of the series before it got canned after the fourth one (thank god I was saved from having that published), but at least I got a free atelier headpiece. I'd love to see you try and do that pattern justice, it was in issue one or two of the magazine, all I remember is that the model wearing it was in black and yellow.
Great vid. Make vids showing the foot pedal work too. Have a nice day.
You look like if the song all that I've got by the used was turned into a video game made by a Japanese team, if that makes sense?! Anyways the pants look amazing!
Well, now I have a NECESSITY
💖💖
So cool! Great job, punk af
Would you ever consider posting your patterns somewhere?
Where can I buy this bible??

I think it's only second hand copies now. I'm not sure that's just how it sounds from KZreadrs talking about it
wah you don't sew the zipper fly on first?!

the way I've learned to do this is almost the complete opposite of what you're doing here! it's a little mind boggling but a good reminder that there's usually more than one way to do things!
Did I leave a comment for engagement after watching it yesterday? Not sure, but it won't hurt if I commented twice. Also feel free to get into a hundred comments fight with me over something like... WE SHOULD RENAME HOT PINK INTO SPICY PINK!!!!!

Life Update: I should be paying more for my clothing.
I need to stop watching sewing videos, cause then I want to sew and I don't have time to sew. 😢
