Happy Saturday!
What a day I had yesterday. I do not know how a simple tote bag project can turn into a marathon nightmare! But it did! However, the final project turned out fantastic. I worked for 12 hours straight on a tote bag video and the editing. I had over 2 hours of footage that I have to get down to at least 30 minutes so as not to put everyone in a coma while watching. lol Much of the time spent on the tote was off camera, fixing my many mistakes I made a long the way. I showed one big mistake, but the others I cut out for the sake of time.
My biggest mistake was trying to show how to make quilt blocks and the tote at the same time. That screwed me up majorly. So I am cutting out all the quilt block part. However, I referenced it throughout the video, so all that has to be cut out to because the references no longer make sense. But it’s hard to cut out the references because sometimes it also includes important stuff.
Bottom line is NEVER try to do two videos in one. Does not work. And I’m still not done editing. I will finish today. I hope!
I was going to work on an Upcycled Fashion today but I think that will not happen. I can’t take another stressful day of sewing. Not unless I come up with something very simple. But the tote bag video was supposed to be simple. That didn’t happen. lol
I might wrap up the Quilt Block Party series instead. I really think that’s more important. I’m anxious to move on to other projects and to get more practice with tutorials. Or maybe I can just always be stressed and make mistakes and swear about them. Maybe that’s how it’s meant to work for me. Most don’ mine and many love it more that way.
Not much else to say because I’m mentally drained. I do want to point out that my Fat Eighths are selling great! I put more in stock. If you want some, you need to order by Sunday night, 5/21 because I’m going shopping for the fabric on Monday!
Have a great Saturday!
