Thanks so much for 5000 subscribers!! I took on the most insane project I've ever attempted; 5000 charms. I had a go at recreating the Loewe x Howl's Moving Castle jewel embellished coat, but there were still so many charms left, so please enjoy bonus evening dress that I didn't really expect to make. Can I suggest you don't try this.

Pattern No 337 from Grasser https://en-grasser.com/vykrojki/coats...

And NOW, we understand the price of the original coat… 😅

The magpies are rioting that you’ve got so many charms that would look so good in their nests!

Every time I costume a play, I give my actors a 50/50 vodka/water mix in spray bottles for stink management. It works well,doesn't leave a smell once it all evaporates, and means we don't have to worry about laundry during the run (local theaters tend to run 3-4 weeks where I am). I have laundry trauma from when a pair of bunny paws went missing in the laundry while I was running wardrobe crew in college.

I am one of the tiny gold stars on the coat, I decided! Happy to be there! XO

If you want to avoid making something for your next milestone, you could try destroying something.

"The urge to destroy is also a creative urge" and all that.

Or you could do a pinata. Those are fun.

Also, congrats on hitting 5 thousand subscribers.

As a person that doesn't sew these instructions mean nothing to me anyway so even if they're wrong I won't know 😂 I just like you and your videos

I'm one of the opal-ly green ones with the gold fastening.

I'm not (yet) diagnosed with adhd but your acceptance and openness about your chaotic adhd brain makes me feel so much more comfortable with my chaotic (maybe) adhd brain! THANKS! X🥰

I love how much stuff is on this coat....it ticks all my "maximalist vibe" boxes.

Your accountant/assistant is a great character. She needs her own outfit, sewn by YOU!

Catching up with your videos and enjoying them very much. A tip when taping pdf patterns together - you don’t need to tape every page together first - tape until you have a pattern piece together then rough cut around it so you can set it aside for less area of paper to line up. If that would result in a small piece orphaned without a match point, tape it to its next section straight away, or trim so that at least one match point remains on every page. Most pdfs have 1a, 1b … 2a, 2b etc on the page edges, I couldn’t see if your pattern had those

A0 printing is worth every, single penny and not much more expensive than printing that much A4. It’ll save your sanity. Congrats on the now over 8000!

Congrats on 5K! An easy sewing project suggestion: dog bow ties! Great for fabric scrap management and can be swapped out on his collar for any occasion

What is wrong with you, did you kearn nothing from having to sew 1000 flowers onto a dress? Also I cannot believe you made a whole coat and evening dress AND jewellery! You are a superstar! Do yourself a favour and do a Q and A for the next milestone which will probably be next week! ❤

You're so charming to watch😂 The coat really suits you, I can't imagine how much work that all was- breaking it down to hours doesn't give a good understanding of the effort. Love the jewelry, it's actually quite cool looking, and the dress is ecclectically cool too, though must weigh a ton! Making vids like these must be great to be able to knock projects off your wishlist

I don't know about subscriber milestones but merch suggestion: "Why am I like this?" on one side (mug/t-shirt/bag whatever) and "It's ADHD" on the other.
Also pdf pattern pages never line up properly it's easier to cut out the pattern pieces first sometimes before sticking them together, as long as you keep track of which bits go where

Ahh, so while I don't know the other answers, the original Les Miserables is a book by Victor Hugo but has been adapted many times over, and gelati has a higher fat content than ice cream and that makes it taste better.
