okay hi guys so a few months ago I posted a video where I finished all my unfinished crochet projects and one of them was this little ruffled skirt that I made to go with my mohir Bolero pattern and when I say that I've been getting borderline Cyber Bullied to release this pattern like almost every video I post the comments are like okay cool but where's the skirt pattern please don't do that by the way it actually like really stresses me out and trust me I I know when yall want a pattern I'm just trying to juggle everything I have going on as a creater that being said I guess the harassing kind of worked because the pattern is finally out or it will be by the time this video goes up it's a more general guide on how to make the teered ruffled skirt so you can do a longer version you can use a thicker yarn cuz I know not Everyone likes the more see-through look that moare gives you and I had an amazing group of testers so there are photos of all the different sizes and styles you can achieve but I actually want to use a pattern to make one of my dream skirts there's this designer called Sophie Isabella who makes the most gorgeous skirts they're knit but I think I could use my pattern to make something kind of similar with crochet full disclosure this is not a step-by-step video tutorial the written pattern has all the Stitch breakdowns it also has video demonstrations where necessary this is just a process Vlog for people who want to see me make the skirt or want to see how you can like customize the pattern to your own style okay I was literally up until 3:00 a.m. last night trying to figure out what yarn to use so I kind of have two options there's this white mohir I have more of it somewhere and then there's this alpaca Bo clay that I got in Chicago this is the most I've ever spent on one ski it was 40 bucks but but the colorway is just so gorgeous and I'm kind of scared I'll never use this cuz it's so precious to me for the thicker yarn I'm leaning towards I actually don't know what this is I have to find the label but it's like like super soft blue yarn and it kind of goes with both honestly my concern is just that this color combo like there's not enough contrast and it might just look like a long white skirt and this would be really sick but there is some texture to this yarn cuz it's bouay and I just don't know what it'll look like worked up you know what I can't think of a better project for this yarn so I'm going to use this one which also means that I need to wind it for starters though we're going to go ahead and make our waistband oh I actually started it last night I forgot it's just a ribbed double crochet band that we're going to connect into a loop then I have to wind this and work the first round of like the skirt portion I've been around but I can't get you out of my head try to stray try to forget but the thoughts they seem to trown instead I've always wondered what it takes to fill this empty void inside but now I've realized you are what I needed this whole time I've been around no one else has got me feeling this way every minute every hour I spend is on you every single [Music] day I've always wondered what it takes to fill this empty void inside something about makes me want to be with you for a long time okay good morning guys this is what we have so far as you probably gathered I decided not to use this yarn sadly it took [ __ ] forever to Wind by the way but once I wound it I realized it's a lot more like dark blackish purple than I thought which is not really the vibe I'm going for so I went ahead and did 1 two three four five rounds of the white M hair on the original skirt I think I did yeah like four rounds per tier but I obviously want the tiers to be longer on this one because it's a longer skirt I actually might do a six round we'll see but next I just need to add the thicker yarn and do like a few more increases to make this little ruffled trim on this skirt I didn't work the layer separately like it's all one piece I just worked the second layer layer into the inside of the first layer if that makes sense but for this version I'm on the fence because I do want the layers to kind of move separately especially if it's a longer skir like when you spin I don't want it to all just be one piece of fabric but it also feels kind of crazy to work every single layer completely separately I'm going to play around with it and if I do decide to work the layers completely separately then I I'm crazy to be honest but I'm actually about to head out to a cafe to meet up with a friend and then go to another friend's place for brunch so I'm just going to bring this with me and see if I can make some progress like the little pudding cups put the mint on top here so cute I love a breakfast burrito say hi kind of like a a slight Obsession for me my mom was telling me that you're like not like you're not supposed to chug water but [Music] like go it's from I'm so excited guys my heel capat fell off no it's cuz I wore down the original one so I added another one on top and David is the you PR to leave in July yeah you have to C him yeah I hi hi count Christopher oh is this the fire escape yeah and there's a dead bird yeah de oh my God this mirror is this new yeah I got a face I play so cute look at that ass come here cat languages [Music] I'm going to talk to you I'm going to be like I don't know who they will know love me choose me I'll sing something more soothing you have any song request no silence is not an option that was a trick question so cute is it flouncing I feel like it's flouncing um to start the next [Music] layer byebye [Music] bye oh you look so good [Music] cheers oh it is very gingery you don't look like you love that okay good morning we're back I'm in my cute little PJ set again look it has little cherries on it I just got it from Urban I feel like like I'm very late on the Q PJs train especially since like 80% of my videos are filmed in bed um okay here's what we have uh I need to explain why I ended up redoing the entire mohir part it was too loose and you're probably thinking why did you do the Stitch too loose if this is literally your pattern like I have a gauge Swatch in the pattern telling you exactly how loose to make your stitches and then I made mine too loose it's because I was like oh it's a long skirt so let me just work my stitches longer to get more length out of it but then I was actually looking at it and I was like I think it's too loose like I don't like how it looks so I just went ahead and redid all of it which is like extremely classic me behavior and then I started working the second layer I worked it three rounds up from the bottom of the first layer as you can see like that gives us a little bit more of a flap here for us to have like more separation between the layers I'm super late to head out and meet up with Meg to go to this like really cute little brunch drinks Cafe spot and then just go sit in Washington Square Park cuz it's a gorgeous Sunday in New York so I'm bringing this with me I feel like so far everything has been going a little bit wrong which is embarrassing cuz again this is a design I've already done before but I really think from here on out it's going to be smooth sailing and I don't know how long I'm going to make the next layer but like we're really just repeating the same thing over and over again from here so I do not see how it could go wrong but me saying that that feels like I'm jinxing it um okay I need to change and head out right now um pretty sure it's been scientifically proven that every haot girl leaves her room looking like this after picking out an outfit also I tried a more blush heavy like strawberry makeup look I'm trying to figure out if I like it and I'm just wearing this black cutout dress that shows my little [ __ ] stamp um okay I actually need to go now so excit oh oh yeah yeah oh it's giving the like come with me Trend the one where like they're taking photos like this slay oh I'm so excited wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait oh this camera's so cute isn't it I feel like when we're together we give like high schoolers who film music videos in their like little photo booth how did know that I do that okay let's go such a perfect day I'm doing a long verion it's so soft God that one wait that one is so cute catch these hands h this camera is so cool I know I love it [Music] I'm tired of this [Music] [Applause] [Music] Grandpa this is all right you think an actor learns just going directly how yeah really tried please please please um what is this I have been listening to please please please by Sabrina Carpenter for literally full hours on repeat it's getting a little bit unhinged but anyway we now have a skirt with three tears I told you it will start going according to plan I also should have mentioned at the beginning of this video like the pattern will be out by the time this video goes up but I am making this skirt and filming this video as part of the pattern development process so if it seems like I'm still doing trial and error that's why I want like a fulllength skirt this is already maybe a little bit past knee length but I'm going to add a fourth tier and there's like so much random hair in this skirt this is gross once I finish a full body of the skirt I want to play around with some embellishments on the original inspo they took layers of the skirt and sort of pinned them up I don't know if that'll really work here because it's not really like separate pieces of fabric so if I just do that I feel like that looks kind of dumb I'm definitely going to knit some little ey cord bows and just like attach them to make it more coet I might use the light pink from the original pink skirt actually cuz I just feel like this needs a little bit more color right now or maybe a dark blue we'll see and the least surprising news of all time I'm about to head out to a cafe even less shocking I'm going to kitora if you watch all my videos you're probably like this girl is at kitur getting her matcha literally every single week and you would be correct also not that anyone asked but my commitment to the fruit Vibes is heavy right now okay cherries on my top little Cherry earrings the babiest strawberry necklace and then in my hair I have like a little watermelon clock lip and then I'm eating strawberries in my chia seed pudding and I don't think I'm actually going to car this bag but I just want to show you look at this little strawberry beaded bag you can't really hold anything in it but it is so cute and it would actually be so cute with this outfit if I didn't have to you know carry this with me anyway I am going to finish my pudding and then head out [Music] we used to have each other's playlist no no used to be each other's best friends yeah now we go separate Pathways but your heart still in mine yeah and maybe we could try next week again but I don't want to think what I say but who cares you said that we're over hands under covers [Music] alone this time but everything I see still reminds me of you bag of all your things the memories of when I kissed you remember when we used to say to each other we belong together you forever this is literally so random but I've been adding spearmint tea bags to my ice water and my tumbler it's supposed to be really good for hormonal acne that's why I started drinking it but now I just drink it cuz it tastes good anyway I finished the fourth tier so here's the finished skirt look how cute it is you could definitely do a fifth tier if you wanted like a true fulllength Maxi style I also knit a bunch of these cords well not a bunch I made like five cuz they take forever but you can tie them into these cutie little bows so I think I'm just going to put this on Bartholomew Bartholomew is my dress form by the way and then just figure out how I want to place the bows I think I'm just going to do it sporadically and I don't know I don't want to add too many cuz I feel like it might get a little Overkill also in classic Grace fashion I got distracted and went on a little side quest and started a top I think the mini skirt looks really cute with my Bolero pattern but I think the full length skirt would be really cute with the little like flouncy crop top I mean it's basically going to be the exact same ruffle structure so just imagine a little tank that's just like layers of Ruffles I think that' be so cute together or separate honestly so I'm just going to keep adding layers and I will write a pattern for this top by the way my plan is to just have these two sides like attach and then do that like two or three spots down the top what I can't decide is if I should attach pink cord so that they tie into little pink bows that will match the skirt or if I should just make it simple and use the blue yarn I will experiment a bit with that but yeah we're almost there once I come back we should have the finished set yay [Music] show us your nails are they so cute interesting I like I [Music] like it's going to be like [Music] this thank you double vlog [Music] [Music] okay hi guys as promised we are back with a full set you might be wondering where I am I'm like in this completely empty room it's cuz I'm about to move in a few days I'm still in Williamsburg I'm not going anywhere it's just a larger space and I always complain about how I can't go a full body shot in my room cuz it's too small so I figured I would come and film this last part of the video here so here we have the finished skirt I think the bows are so cute I was worried they would look kind of random but I think they're just a nice little subtle touch and I also sewed some elastic into the waistband um you can do a draw sing that's what a lot of my pattern testers did but you because I already have bows all over the skirt I didn't want there to be the bow from the string tying in the front if that makes sense and then here is the top I almost love it more than the skirt it's so cute and I actually prefer it the other way around like with the bows in the front I don't know how that would work if you actually had tits but let me try it on and show you okay I feel like this is normally the point in the video where I'm like oh my god oh [ __ ] look how cute the set turned out more importantly look how in the frame my whole body is now I will say these two together it is indeed very Cloud cupcake princess fairy core she was a fairy I I don't know if you know that Tik Tok sound if not please disregard I threw on the little white heels these are from Steve mad and they're super comfy to just like lean into the girly Vibes but I don't think I would ever wear this whole thing as a set I had a bit of a crisis about the skirt last night because one of my pattern testers made like a floor length version so I think hers is five tiers like one extra tier Beyond this and hers looked so good and I was like should I add another tier but I also think a floor length white skirt feels very impractical like I would definitely get a dirty but now that I'm looking at it Tred it on I kind of want to add the extra tier again so if you see it on Instagram and it looks longer you know what happened now for the top this is the way I had planned for it to be worn but let me show you the other way around yes just wanted to see your filming you want to say hi that was my new roommate she wanted to see what it looks like when I'm filming um but here's the top the other way around it's so cute I will say I don't know if I would wear the top with the bows in the front plus the long skirt cuz this is kind of a lot think the top this way around with the short skirt would be really cute but for the long skirt I think it's better when it's just like the Ruffles plain actually one of my pattern testers did a version of the top where she made like two bralette cups and then did the Ruffles under and it's so cute and probably more flattering if you have a larger chest which I famously don't I mean my pattern is not for that top in particular but if you know how to make two BR light cups or if you just look it up you could easily adapt the pattern and make that style as well if you follow me on Instagram or any other platform or you just are familiar with my style you probably know that I would never wear these two pieces together as cute as it is so I'm going to style them really quickly as separates because I think that'll be much more My Vibe okay I'm just waiting for one of you to comment on the fact that I wear this shirt in literally every single video but it's just the only baby tea that fits my super wide shoulders and I don't know it's just so cute and it goes with everything like I love how the blue matches the blue and the skirt I feel like with the t-shirt and the boots These are also from Steve Madden they are the most comfortable cowboy boots I've ever tried like I could wear them all day but this is more cool girl City Vibes like honestly this would be a really cute and comfy Festival outfit okay and then look how cute the little top is with these denim JS I feel like once again the blues match really well and I know not everyone loves the Jorts trend for summer but I think it's fun I made like a YouTube short styling them and some people really didn't like them very much I just like the contrast like tiny top big bottom but also tiny tiny girly top big big boy B big boyish bottom I sadly don't have a white kid heel so I'm wearing these ones but like imagine this with like a white kitten heel mule and then a top knot with like a scrunchie or a hair bow oh also I always get questions in the comment section about where the pieces I'm wearing are from I will always have a a shop my link in my description and that will have links to everything so like clothing jewelry makeup skin care shoes anything that I mentioned in the video it will be linked there so you can just check that okay I think that brings us to the end of this video honestly I'm so excited for this pattern release Because by the time I finish making something and filming it and photographing it I'm just kind of over it like I've never really been obsessed with something I made but I love what other people make and this is the first time I've had pattern testers and when the photos are coming in I'm like that is so cute whoever designed that ate even though I know it was me I also just love how versatile this pattern is I feel like once you have a grasp of the methodology it's pretty easy to adapt it to whatever style you want to make you also can use any yarn weight so if you're not comfortable with the translucent fabric like you don't want to have to wear spandex Ender you can definitely use a thicker yarn and a lot of people did pick pastels for this design cuz it is on the cutc end but like one of my pattern testers mags did a neon green like BR girl summer version which is so fun so I am just so excited to see what everyone makes and I know a bunch of people have been waiting for this pattern so I'm just excited that I can finally deliver it to you and not have people constantly up in my DMs asking when the pattern will come out oh also for those of you who want to make the top I will be selling the top pattern on its own or with the skirt for a slightly lower price you can see all of it on my Kofi or my Etsy but yeah as always thank you thank you so much for watching and thank you in advance for buying the pattern and supporting and I will see you on the next one bye guys [Music]
