Embroidered Clothes (Best Choice)

sweat got me glowing like Edward Cullen

whatup hooligans it's Jennifer whoa why

did I turn into an ASMR voice Channel

it's Jennifer and welcome back to Osos

so a couple of things I don't know if

you guys have noticed but I have been

away for a like over a month not to make

this about me because there are

definitely like way bigger issues in the

world going on right now but just to

explain why I took my little break I

realized I was experiencing some pretty

bad burnout as well as some kind of

intense mental health issues which I've

never really like experienced to that

extent before so I kind just needed that

time to like relax by myself and like

cry everyday don't look at me I don't

like emotions so for me it was like very

coincidental timing that I was taking my

break and like isolating myself from

other people as well as being forced to

isolate so feel like right now is a

great time to do some self-reflecting

make some DIYs maybe embroider something

speaking of embroidering things today's

video is going to be another DIY

embroidery video but I feel like it's a

great quarantine hobby because it passes

a lot of time embroidery takes so long

and you can also do a while binging a

show or something cuz I I know you guys

are already doing that and another

reason is like a little bit more intense

but basically is the last time that I

filmed a DIY embroidery video in

November it was like one of the like

peak moments that I knew I needed to

take a break I'm gonna friggin start

crying I'm not gonna cry emotions are

not real there's social constructs

basically oh it's like crying throughout

filming the video like while I was

embroidering I'd be like sobbing

hysterically and I'd be like no it's

fine like just like keep going and now

they think back on it it's like really

intense so this video is like kind of

symbolic for me because I'm coming back

to this same concept look like a

different mindset obviously my problems

are very privileged problems so I don't

want to be insensitive but I just want

to like explain what happened to me I

guess at the same time I know everything

is like really really scary right now

for the whole world so I hope you guys

are doing okay um anyway today is

embroidery the love of my life this is

once again me

promoting my grandma hobbies I feel like

I'm already living the retirement

lifestyle at 21 years old but I kind of

love it today I'm gonna be doing three

different projects and they're going in

ascending order from easiest to most

difficult yeah well stick started I

think I'm gonna film that whole intro

again alright starting off with

materials obviously you're gonna need

some embroidery thread I have a bunch

here I ordered these all off of Amazon

it came with this whole kit of

embroidery essentials including the

thread the needles embroidery hoops that

kind of stuff so I'll link that kit down

below but if you can't access that right

now because of quarantine and shipping

issues you can also try just using some

regular thread if you have that you

might have to double it up or go over to

go over it or go up go oh my god or go

over it a couple times just to make it

thick enough but it should work it just

might take a little bit more time you're

also gonna need a needle and that's

pretty much it for essentials some other

optional tools that might help are a

seam ripper in case you mess up

embroidery hoops this just keeps the

fabric taut and also some fabric

stabilizer this helps you transfer

images and helps make your fabric stiff

alright that's it for materials so for

the first embroidery project I'm taking

my nude hoodie and I'm planning on doing

this mountain scenery type embroidery on

the top right corner so I'm just lightly

tracing out my mountain design in the

corner it's just to see approximately

where I would want my design to be then

I'm taking some black embroidery thread

and embroidery thread usually comes with

six individual threads twisted together

so I'm separating that into three groups

of two threads each usually I would

separate into two groups of three

threads but since I wanted this design

to be more detailed and have a thinner

line I went with two threads next I just

added my embroidery hoop to keep the

fabric tight and then I started

embroidering so obviously all mountains

have different shapes so I wasn't too

careful about making the lines really

smooth in fact I wanted them to be a bit

jagged to make it look a little bit more

realistic but essentially I just made

two

in Peaks and we all know what mountains

look like I used a reference photo but

you can just kind of see what I'm doing

here so don't worry about making it too

perfect

so the stitch that I'm using is kind of

a cross between back stitching and split

stitching I believe it's called for back

stitch I would sew a stitch and for the

next stitch

I pushed the needle back down where that

previous stitch ended for a split stitch

I would push the needle back down half

way from where the last stitch ended so

it kind of overlaps a bit so I would

kind of mix the two types of stitches

throughout the design depending on what

was needed whenever I did do a split

stitch I would only overlap maybe like a

fifth of the way of the stitch

I hope all that made sense not a

professional embroidery person over here

so as you can see I made two mountain

peaks and they kind of come together in

the middle I also did some snow on the

top by making some triangles and

diagonal lines

I added some contours on the mountains

this design actually is really really

easy because of the flexibility of it it

can be a little bit abstract there's no

strict rules about what mountains have

to look like

after that I wanted to embellish a

little bit so I added a little crescent

moon on top and I used shorter stitches

for this to make it look curved and then

I also added some stars just by doing

these little crosses I made some bigger

makes them smaller and it just adds

variation here is the final design I

really really like how it turned out and

it was really really simple to make so

would recommend trying it out

all right for the next project I am

taking this yellow t-shirt and I wanted

to embroider a B onto it save the bees

hehe so I just lightly sketched out the

B shape onto my shirt honestly I wish I

had done a more detailed job at

sketching it out first so that it didn't

look so wonky in the end but it is what

it is so I'm starting off with some

black embroidery thread that I split

into two groups of three strands each

I'm taking one of those three strands

and threading it on to the needle then I

started embroidering and I'm using the

same type of stitch as I did last time

so I'm starting out by just outlining

the entire thing and then filling in

later so I started with a circle for the

head

and then a slightly larger circle for

the midsection and then a long oval

shape for the bottom next I'm moving on

to the wings oh no next I'm moving on to

the limbs the legs if you will honestly

I wish I had done the legs a little bit

shorter because at the end I mean you'll

see what it looks like at the end but

anyway moving on to the wings I did kind

of like a trapezoidal oval shape and

then I just sewed these diagonal lines

within the wings then I did two more

legs on top and then the antennas and I

just repeated the exact same thing on

the other side so now I'm gonna start

filling the beat in I started out by

stitching some stripes on to the bottom

portion then I filled in the head with

just all black and then I went in with

some yellow embroidery thread and kind

of just filled in the rest so the middle

circle and then in between the black

stripes and that's pretty much it

honestly not my best work it low-key

looks like a mosquito

crust with a bee I think it's because

the legs are way too long like it just

looks like a massive mosquito be like I

don't know how else to explain it but

from far away it looks a decent just

like don't come too close but anyway I

think overall it was successful
