YouTube "Terminated" My Channel

Good morning, everyone! I was alerted yesterday that YouTube had terminated my channel. The reason appears to be because claims against two of my AliExpress videos. They do not give much information, and generally give 5 strikes. Came as a surprise in the way this was handled, and I have appealed.

I do not know what this means for the future of my videos. I hope and pray that they reinstate my channel, if not...I don't know how to continue. I suppose I could put videos here, and not use YouTube at all.

I will keep you all posted, thank you so much to everyone who has messaged support through my other social media. If you can send an email or notice to YouTube on my behalf, I would greatly appreciate it! The channel name was VianneyCreates, but the url was http://www.youtube.com/vianneylu1

This breaks my heart, but in the meantime...please find me as VianneyCreates on IG & Twitter!

Love,
Vianney

Kitty Rag Doll using Singer Stitch Sew Quick 2!

Hi, everyone! OMG, I love this project, and hope you do, too! I wanted to make a small project using this little sewing machine. So, I came up with a pattern to make a cat rag doll...I wanted to make something not typical...and that didn't require hair! Here are some images to go along with the video tutorial. I made the clothes and face after the basic tutorial, so I'll include some images of that, too!

Here is my pattern, again...I just made it up! I hope you try and make your own, if this one isn't quite to your liking:



This is kind of how I made the dress...I fussy cut two rectangles with small areas cut off the top corners (need two of these). I just eyeballed the length, and made it much wider than the doll so it will scrunch nicely. (:


I sewed a 1/4" hem along the trimmed corners and the bottom of the piece. Then I folded the top area down creating a channel for ribbon to be inserted in, sewed it in place. I placed both pieces of "dress" right sides facing, and sewed them together along the sides.


Turn right side out. It will look something like this:


Take some thin ribbon, add a safety pin to the end...use the safety pin like a needle to help you get the ribbon into the channel you created.



Go through one channel of the dress, into the next one.



You can tie the ends together, or cut them in half. So, you can have one bow...or one over each shoulder.






I drew the muzzle area with a marker, then added buttons and embroidery.



That's it! Here is the video tutorial!

We R Memory Keeper Precision Press Plus Review!

Hello, everyone! I am posting my YouTube review tutorial of the new Precision Press Plus here, in case it makes it easier for people to find a review. I still have mixed feelings about it, and have a few days left to return it if I choose to. Here is the review, I hope it helps you make a decision on whether it is worth double the money of the first iteration. Sometimes I wonder what the people over at WRMK are thinking! LOL!

5x7 Pop Up Box Card Tutorial!

Hi, guys! So, I have seen different dies and things that you can purchase to make an awesome pop up box card. They are so cool! Well, I decided to design one...using only one piece of 8 1/2 x 11 paper! It was pretty cool in that once it's all folded up, it makes a card that is just about 5x7! Here is the tutorial link:


These are the images I drew to clarify how to cut and score the 5 1/2 x 7 1/4 paper, and the leftover strips. Give it a try, I hope you do!
