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!”
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.
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.
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! 😁
