Greetings, KZread.

I'm Sandra Dee, an artist, designer, and life-long crafter. My friends call me Creature. I'm here to bring you tutorials for all kinds of crafts from sewing and beading to knitting and crochet and anything else in between. Let's get the world making and doing!

I have a busy work schedule but I try to upload regularly. It might be once a week, it might be once a fortnight - your guess is as good as mine.

    This is amazing! How do you do the closure once you've completed? Like what do i do with the stopper bead?

    Thank you for your comment. The stopper bead is just taken off at the end. As for closures; I have another video all about adding clasps to beadwork: kzread.info/dash/bejne/rK6dpJtvndOsdMY.html Hope that helps.

    Wonderful instructions and photos--GREAT video. But where can I buy camel's hair "felting wool" and the tools you are using??? I live across the river from NY City's old (and gutted) "garment district." Might I find the tools there? I have several beautiful camel's hair garments I cannot bear to throw out.

    Would you please list more specifics about the type/model/size of drill or drummel and drill bits you are using here? I am trying to figure out which items to buy to drill my shells, but I have never used a drill before and don’t have a clue.

    Thank you for posting this! Excellent explanation. It's been a long time since I altered a jacket sleeve and I really needed a refresher! I decided I'm going to end up with a sleeve length that's a bit longer than ideal so I can have the button not quite so close to the edge.

  • @hmh3808
    @hmh38084 ай бұрын

    Thank you!! I’ve always wondered ….doesnt the felting needle cut into the existing weave and weaken those pre-woven strands for future wear?

  • @CraftyCreature
    @CraftyCreature4 ай бұрын

    Can't say I've heard of that happening. The old fibres become blended with the new which makes for a strong and permanent repair. I know it looks a bit savage, repeatedly stabbing the fabric with a needle, but I'd say it's no weaker than a piece of embroidery, for example.

  • @CraftyCreature
    @CraftyCreature6 ай бұрын

    Something as big/thick as a conch might require a more substantial drill. The hobby drill I used is more suitable for smaller item. Did you even manage to make a dent in it, or was it a complete no-go? I'm quite curious to know what you're working on to want to drill a conch!

    It works best with felt and woollen fabric including knits, but also works well on most medium- to heavy weight including cotton, denim, and velvet.
