What’s your favorite doll-collecting or sewing-related YouTube channel? Please share! #FridayFollow

 

Want to be entertained while you sew? Want to laugh out loud at funny memes, but also “Ooh” and “Ahh” at someone’s vast collection of cool vintage sewing patterns?

If so, then Stephanie Canada is a sewist worth following!

I’m starting off today’s blog post with one of Stephanie’s latest videos: “I made a Holiday Barbie dress out of TRASH!

Please visit ChellyWood.com for free printable PDF sewing patterns and tutorial videos for making doll clothes to fit dolls of many shapes and all different sizes.

The Holiday Barbie video is super funny, and although humor is to be expected with each of Stephanie’s videos, the hot-glue methods she uses in this particular video are atypical of Stephanie’s style. She does, in fact, sew quite well, and she specializes in sewing vintage patterns and commenting on what works and what doesn’t, with each of the vintage patterns she uses.

But my favorite of the Stephanie Canada YouTube channel content would have to be her “unboxing” videos. She goes through (often ENORMOUS) boxes of old patterns — some of them are VERY OLD patterns — and she shares the cover art that’s on the front of the patterns with her viewers.

On a turquoise blue fabric background, a brown cardboard box is sitting open with purple question marks popping out of it. This is a generic image representing the unboxing video concept.

These patterns have actually inspired some of the doll clothes patterns I’ve been working to design for you lately, so be on the lookout for an upcoming circle skirt with bolero, which I’ve designed to fit Barbie dolls. — You’ll have Stephanie Canada to thank for that one!

She also has a website that’s well worth visiting, where she sells vintage fabrics, vintage patterns, and even a few old doll clothes patterns without all the overhead fees associated with Etsy and eBay.

This thumbnail image shows the Chelly Wood doll (a Spin Master Liv doll) sitting at her computer, at her desk, in her office. The screen of her computer says, "YouTube" with the red and black YouTube logo (or something similar to it) on her little doll-sized computer screen. The text over Chelly's head says, "Favorite YouTube Channels! -- Please Share!"

But enough about my favorite YouTube channel… Please share yours in the comments below! I’m looking for YouTube channels that feature any of the following:

  • doll collecting
  • doll repairs/OOAK
  • sewing channels
  • doll-related crafting channels
  • crochet for dolls
  • knitting for dolls
  • vintage sewing channels
  • vintage fabric channels
  • vintage pattern channels
  • humorous craft channels

Anything like that would be great! Please leave your favorites in the comments, so the rest of us can go watch what you suggest…

Now before I go, let me say that although I am an affiliate marketer, Stephanie Canada didn’t pay me a dime to brag about her awesome YouTube channel and website. I just wanted to send a little ❤️ her way, to show her how much her unboxing videos really do inspire me! 😁

  1. Thanks for today’s blog post. Not only your YouTube channel is my favorite but Beauty Inside a Box, Edmond Mouton’s unboxing doll videos, Warren Wright’s Dollmation videos and My Froggy Stuff. I’ll check out Stephanie’s vintage fashion doll pattern videos asap.

    1. Oooh… Warren Wright’s Dollmation videos? I hadn’t heard of that one. I’ll go check out his channel!

      I’m back now. Yep, I’m following him. Too cool!

      I thought I knew who Edmond Mouton was, but when I looked at his channel, it was new to me. Following now!

      Thanks for sharing your favorites with me!

    1. Sewing with Cinnamon… I hadn’t heard of her, but wow! She makes some very inspiring videos!

      I’m planning to make a bunch of 18 inch doll clothes for my niece’s birthday this year, so I’m sure her channel will give me some great ideas. Thanks for sharing your favorite channel with me!

  2. Oh there are so many! Rachel Hoffman, Designs by Jude, Benedolls, Lomi’s Playground to name a few. 😀 one of my faves is chellywood. ❤️ As you can tell, these are vastly different. Something new always catches my eye. Rachel Hoffman…I love seeing vintage dolls, I have a few but I’d rather collect play dolls. Benedolls is thrifting, my favorite ways to get dolls. There are so many good sites.

    1. I already knew about Rachel Hoffman and Designs by Jude. I think Jude’s designs are really awesome!

      Benedolls looks like a neat channel. I may navigate back to her channel after I’m over the broken heart that comes with Empty Nest Syndrome. When I went to look at her video, she was shopping with her kids, and it made me miss my own… 💔

      But I was really surprised by Lomi’s Playground. I didn’t know there was such a classy BJD channel to watch! I’m now following her.

      Thanks for these ideas, Linda!

      1. Quite familiar with empty nest syndrome. I also went through too far away syndrome, when my daughter moved 1000 miles away. Still have plenty of grandkids fairly close though. 😉 Keep sewing!

  3. Oh my goodness, if I could blush in a comment section I would 🥰

    I love that I can inspire new doll clothes based on the vintage I share and I also am so glad I can bring a moment of laughter to anyones day. Thank you so much for this wonderful mention.❤️
