hi you guys welcome to our next first impression friday this one is going to be a big four we've got macaws early spring and just judging from this little banner image here we are in for a real treat lots of cutouts lots of ruching lots of trends everything that macaws has been known for in the last i don't know year couple years um they're really going after you know youthful sewists people with uh of any age with just like fun trendy um type of style so without further ado let's jump right in we've got mrs dresses uh two piece lined dress is joined at the waist with a decorative ring view a is sleeveless view b has puff sleeves view c has classic sleeves and front slit on skirt cutout style dress has flared skirt and comes in two links above the knee and lower calf thank you for a very detailed description macaws all right let's take a look at some of this so you've also got this sort of like high neckline which makes sense to balance out the cutouts here and of course you know girlfriend has some abs but that doesn't mean you have to have abs i think this is a very flattering cut line for all body shapes um i don't know that you know necessarily there is gonna be like one style one design for apples and then another one for pairs i think nowadays we are in this place where you wear what you like that's what i'm doing no matter i mean obviously we're not all gonna look like she does in this dress but i don't think that means you shouldn't wear it if you like it um we do have a lot of fullness in the bust and it comes together into this little ring which is just a fun fun fun detail kind of reminds me a little bit of the 80s when we had those little rings and we you know attached them to our t-shirts at the bottom but you've got this really cute cute cute sleeve um and then i guess this is the flared skirt right at the knee length here is the lower calf length skirt with the front slit and the more standard sleeve so you get even a little bit more coverage this way here's the sleeveless version full skirt there this must be some version of a circle skirt but i mean tell me you wouldn't kill it in miami in this or on some tropical vacation or i mean heck like even to your local fun like picnic you know what i mean like you don't have to go anywhere they did do some things here that how do i say will aid in kind of like cheating a good fit and one of those is this elastic through here um so you do not have to worry about it fitting super well you can kind of cheat it a little bit you know you get the front to lay nice and flat you get the back to also lay nice and flat but with the help of elastics you can pull that in really tight and get a close fit to your back the low back here or the back of the skirt is interesting because it does swoop down quite low and i think that that's just kind of gravity doing its thing um it i don't not like the back view but i don't love it as much as the front view i don't know how they could have the front and anything else in the back i don't know you couldn't have the front and then this come up a lot higher or else the front here would also have to come higher you have this dramatic cut because it's scooped so low in the back so if you're willing to compromise some of the you know skin showing in the front you could have a higher back and that could be a good compromise i think there's a invisible zipper here and then just a little keyhole here the elastic i will say also aids and getting it on and off so you didn't have to have a zipper here too which is hard to just fasten by yourself so maybe there's some practicality to it and then there are all three views together and then here are our line drawings i wish it looked a little bit more like separates in the back but i just don't think it does and that's fine and that's fine okay so there's line art oh no where's there back of the envelope no that has to be an accident so we'll have to look at this one tell me that this is not going to be it i can barely read this okay gotta zoom in a bunch all right so cotton blends poplin tapeta satin um i think even a hundred percent cotton's i mean you do want it to be pretty structured because you know it can't be too drapey or else this will just fall down um it does need some structure i think the structure aids and kind of the flare of a skirt and certainly the bubble like the fullness of the sleeve um but i think you could do a hundred percent cotton's here as well and then this longer version you could go a little bit lighter weight you could do like some seersuckers or things like that that would be such a cute juxtaposition right to have like your classic demure seersucker combined with this like wham bam pow fun cut out dress all right so the notions are going to be interesting um to see because these are sort of cut on the bias i want to know are we reinforcing this in any way or we're just relying on this um ring to kind of hold everything together so one package of single fold bias tape that's for a b and c i'm assuming for the skirt uh one nine inch zipper we talked about the zipper being in the back um three eighths inch wide elastic and then two hooks and eyes that's it so i don't they're not calling for any stabilizer in here they're not calling for twill tape they're not calling for really anything um to stabilize this which i might reevaluate if i were going to make this but the sleeveless dress only requires two yards of fabric and then if you add your sleeves it's an additional yard there we do have finished bust line measurements of 33 and a half up to 49 inches finished measurements or remember i told you this is a little bit roomier um because it does have all the kind of like gathered into the ring um so it is a little bit fuller through here so that's good i think this is a great start certainly very indicative of spring which is fun next up we have eight two five three mrs and women's dress similar but different i think this one must be knit yes uh three views for ruched cut out knit dresses including functional drawstring at bust and ruching on skirt sleeveless half sleeve and long sleeve options are also included pattern comes in above knee midi length options view a bodice is contrastive or color blocking or print mixing how stunning does she look they did so many things here to kind of help not necessarily trick the eye but to help the eye see all the beautiful curves of her body so we've got the beautiful center front ruching which really just elevates the bust line so much um gives like her like the middle of her bust i guess like some definition in shape so it's not like a mono bust situation then we've got this stunning ruching anybody who has a belly puts some ruching over it and it just disappears it just disappears so i will say that there is not a ton of support here you know so i think she probably has a bra on i think the back is probably full coverage so you can wear a bra with it but just keep in mind that if your bra is not super supportive you could have some issues with under boob here because there is there's there's nothing structural here keeping this seam like close to the body um this is just a hemmed hemmed fabric you know what i mean but man this is really pretty i don't know exactly how i feel about this rope trim would i have preferred it in the self fabric would i prefer if it tied up here instead i don't know that might be something i would play around with um if i were to make this just swapping that out and seeing i don't know i like it because it kind of you know covers it up covers the skin up a little bit more of an illusion but also i don't love it because it seems kind of sloppy i don't know but then you have this beautiful skirt high low hem and then here's the sleeveless version same exact everything just no sleeves oh and then a straight hem that's also shorter there is the maxi length that looks really long and then you also eliminate the sort of ruching at the skirt here which means it's just straight across so less skin is going to show here um and then a shorter sleeve than what the model is wearing yeah okay so it is full coverage in the back so you're able to wear your bra but that's it like you can't really do a lot of shapewear or anything like that because it would show in the midriff um you'd have to wear separates and shapewear this is a learn to sew level two so it's pretty simple and then they give you lots and lots and lots of extra details and spend a little bit extra time um before you ever even start sewing just kind of explaining some of the basics of sewing so if you're getting into garment sewing start with a level one and then you can upgrade to a level two from there that's the that's kind of the point of their levels here are our line drawings i would have loved to have seen the color blocked version made up but alas all right so knit fabrics two-way stretch knits 50 stretch such as jersey interlock and novelty knits this is not going to be your rayon jerseys this is not going to be your you know super thin sweater knits by the same token it's also not going to be like your more structured panties they really are looking for like middle of the road mid-weight cotton jerseys i think would be best so two yards of your draw string and then also for the sleeveless version single fold bias tape and for a and b the elastic for the ruching on the belly super super super easy skill to get this ruching here maybe even much easier than it seems i will dare to say okay so uh fabric requirements up to two and a well actually yeah two well this is the contrast to so up to three and a half yards of fabric a bit of a fabric hog even a because it is color blocked it color blocking takes up more fabric than just cutting it all off out of one fabric but maybe you have like a scrap here that you could use for the bodice and then you'd only need a couple yards for the skirt something like that did they also show the back of a is this so the back of a is all one fabric it is all the one of your skirt okay so finished garment measurements they left those off of this pattern maybe because it's nits they didn't want to freak people out i don't know yeah it looks like they are moving that back of the envelope information only to the images so interesting i don't really know why by that token why even have this you know weird weird interesting decision okay here is mccalls a 255 mrs and women's tops if you liked the tops of the simplicity early spring collection this is giving me a very similar type vibe this pattern features lined princess seam lined princess seam what does that even mean scoop neck tops i guess supposed to be a comma here lined princess seam and scoop neck tops woven top has a back separating zipper a back separating zipper yeah i guess so but how do you can you even do that by yourself well and cropped and hip length options view b and c have a scalloped hem finish which you can see here puff long sleeve and sleeveless options are also included in this pack i'm calling them packs now i guess all right so you've got your little scoop neck there is a bit of an issue here here just where there's a lot of extra fabric in the center front for her not to say that's definitely going to happen to you but there is a little bit of extra fabric here for her you've got the puff sleeve that comes down into this little cuff really pretty and then here is your scalloped hem which kind of you know extends from the princess scene okay there it is sleeveless that must be the cropped version with a short sleeve and then a longer sleeve option without the scallops and then there she is what is this oh come on guys you literally so you couldn't have him these for her you are a sewing i don't know i don't know i don't know but this is cute with it i love how the backgrounds match okay here is our back and i am unhappy i mean maybe she's short-waisted i don't know there's just a lot of extra fabric here the zipper certainly doesn't help it's also one of those zippers that's like oh shoot centered zip center zip is that what it's called but this separating situation i mean i guess i guess we had to do that but look how sloppy it is like maybe we should have done a facing or something oh i don't know i don't know that just feel i guess that's how they did i mean i'm guessing they're kind of inspired by like maybe vintage type woven tops that were this close fitting and that's how they did it i can't really think of another way to do it unless i couldn't have zipped on the side maybe that might have been a little bit better i don't know and seriously can she zip herself into this i'd like to like do an experiment to see if that's even possible i don't know that i've ever had a shirt that zipped all the way down the back it's hard enough to do those separating zippers on a jacket in the front much less in the back all right well there she is those are her line drawings the scallop hem is a cute detail i just i don't know if it's for me all right so cotton blends gingham would be adorable linen satin and then remember it's lined so you've got to get lining fabrics or some kind of like cotton ball and then lightweight interfacing here for the zipper tape maybe one separating zipper one oh a different length of separating zipper and then single fold bias tape for c the sleeveless version and then d also gets elastic for the sleeve it doesn't take very much fabric you know one and a half yards at most depending on your size same amount well a little bit less for lining because you're not lining the sleeve oh the interfacing could be for the cuffs too or the facings oh probably facings also yeah um and then finished bust measurements are 34 up to 58 finished that's not body measurements it's finished measurements so it is a pretty close fitting top so i imagine those that the finished measurements and the body measurements are within one or so inches of each other so if you're close to that 58 mark you could make this in your size okay now we have this little cutie this is just like another version of i guess the 2022 version of uh pillowcase tops maybe a little less susie homemaker because you have like an actual finished binding here but let's get into it this is only missus sizes um and they come in alphanumeric sizing extra small to 2x so learn to sew binding and gathering on this easygoing pullover top with a gathered neckline and binding that have raglan sleeves with options for a puff sleeve and a long sleeve with elastic casing view a is tank top and view c has flowy flutter sleeve all right so you do have the neck binding you do have the neck gathering right very boho very easygoing like they said and it has a raglan sleeve so there's a seam here and then this is all one piece for your sleeve and then you can attach some elastic there there it is like sleeveless that's the long sleeve version and the flutter sleeve version i wish she would show us her version untocked what is this did they rip off one label and add another one i can't read what it says i just want to see how big and how billowy it actually is but they are not going to show us that um this is the learn to sew level one so we already talked about we saw level two before so this is kind of like where you would start um and there's some of the things that you would learn from it so really straightforward easy little top that i think is still pretty um cute and attractive certainly you see these and ready to wear all the time and the bonus about tops like these is you can make them out of so many different fabrics so they've only listed for here lawn cotton blends poplin and stainless but i definitely think the flutter sleeve and any of these versions you could easily make out of silky fabrics um you can make them out of polyesters silky blends lightweight drapey up to midweight sort of stable um wovens as well you could could could could make it out of a knit it wouldn't really matter um but depending on the drapiness of the knit you might want to size down and then just forewarning this little bias bound neckline would be just a little bit more challenging in a knit as well as a drapey woven too but up to one and three quarters of a yard of fabric and then no finished garment measurements that are very helpful yeah i gotta imagine it's got a ton of ease just kind of threw out um just maybe why they didn't include those here very forgiving in the sizes as well so choosing the right size is a challenge for you um this one could help or then again you go a size too big on this and you're swimming um this thing is falling off so just get my fast fit worksheet is the best advice i have for you it's on my website um it helps you pick your pattern size closer to the right size the first time okay so boned corsets we talked about corsets in vogue this one's coming off berry berry mary had a little lamb uh and i don't know why they had to go so kitschy with it like the corsets that everyone is wearing and the cool girls are making them look cool aren't this nor were they really the vogue one if i'm being honest but maybe that's why they went this like milkmaid direction because vogue's was sort of like more classic i don't know bone corsets with ribbon and lace trim have spandex side panels spandex side panels for ease of movement and comfort back opening has faux lacing that conceals separating zipper separate pattern pieces for eight for cup sizes and then we have two size ranges six to 14 and then 14 to 22 now i'd like to also point out that this is just a mrs size but this is the same model that they used for their women's pattern a few patterns back so it's a little bit misleading um having the sizes go up to a size 22 and not calling it a women's pattern i know that they use different blocks for women's and mrs but if you are a plus size sewist would you know to look at mrs you'd have to answer that for me i'm not sure i'm kind of like an in betweeny well that's not true these these days i am fully sitting in the middle of this little section here so i've never had to consider women's patterns before but i mean if you're a size 22 you can shop both right i don't know just thinking okay so we have this corset princess seams with this extra little thing i don't even know what that is uh this boning through here boning through here you can definitely see that it definitely has a curve to it and then this is where the little side panels are then it is adorned with freaking shiny ribbon bows ribbon this thing that isn't even sewn down and then ribbon cascading through this if that wasn't enough they've also added lace here is oh god oh man um another version i think a hard time like processing what i'm seeing um she they kept the bows here kept the lace trim here is is a little bit narrower and then instead of the zigzaggy situation they did do some more bows here and then this is more of a more of a cupped shape versus the pointier shape i don't know that i like either one of them to be honest um and then you can see her little side panel here as well here's a third version i mean that i think this is too big on her even with the panels i just i don't i don't know about this this is giving me major i mean i'll if i'm able to kind of come to terms with this i don't know i can come to terms with this maybe that's more of like the traditional like renaissance style and i just am not familiar because i don't sew costumes but i mean maybe this is like a version of a corset that is calling back to a specific time period and not necessarily as modern as what i have seen like i i don't i don't know that i would see somebody walking around in this outfit and think yes she looks like somebody who knows what she's doing in when she gets herself dressed i would think i would think what costume party is she going to later that's what i would think and i am someone who was like team corset you know i am i am supportive of the corset idea this this is not it even if you were to take all that stuff away can you make this straight across because in that case i mean can you just chop that off i don't i don't get the point of that plus can you sit down with boning going like that this is the oh this is the faux lace that they were describing which i gotta admit is not a terrible idea so typically i think you would have a zipper going up the back right and then you would do this lace over top obviously that's impossible to do by yourself so they almost just like threaded the lace through like you would a shoestring wrapping it around the kind of lap of the zipper that's gonna cover the zipper teeth itself so when you zip it up it looks like you've also laced up a corset you laced it up but you haven't you just zipped it closed also this is another example of a separating zipper that you have to do by yourself so in addition to these model photos i would also like to see the model zipping up the top by herself then i would be convinced that that would actually work that's funny but you can tell even though they did this the spandex inset here it's still too big on her um you know in a lot of ways there isn't enough curvature through here for her or or am i getting that backwards or there's too much curvature and that's why it's coming away from her body maybe that's it i mean i think we're all gonna be honest here it looks best on her right she looks the most snatched out of everybody um which is not to say anything about anybody's bodies it's just about i think the corset design is meant for a curvier figure that's all so here they are it looks even crazier in a line drawing but i think this is like a separate panel so i don't know that you could just lock that off i don't know like i think what i'm coming to terms with is this still is not the corset for me i do want one i do want to make one but the vogue one wasn't it and this one's not it so we'll have to wait and see what comes down the line but corsets are having a major major moment so hopefully there will be more and they will be a lot more wearable in like everyday regular life okay so your fabrics satin cotton satin and silk they've gone very traditional with the fabric recommendations here um and then the contrast for the side panels are four-way stretch knits like spandex and then it's also lined in spandex those side panels and then lightweight sew-in interfacing and then you need a ton of notions um notably separating zipper boning um and a lot of ribbon lace trim all kinds of different stuff clearly does not take a lot of fabric and then your finished garment measurements bust and waist you have both of those here so 30 and a half to 44 inches finished bust measurement which as we saw was very close fitting and then your waist measurement is 22 to 35 and a half but there is also some wiggle room here because you do have that spandex side panel so this is probably it at its smallest and then you can stretch it out depending on how much stretch your spandex has to add I don't know a couple more inches to your waist and your bust too because I think it goes all the way up to the underarm so interesting I'm glad that they've included it again this is not for me um but I'm glad that they are at least aware of the idea that corsets are having a moment okay so this is just the skirt that we're looking at here are we not seeing the vogue skirt remember the vogue skirt that had the blue they had like two different fabrics it definitely ties up just like this has the same swoopy thing maybe not so much of a little flounce here but it's got it's a it's a circle skirt that ties on the side so this must be like the cheaper version of that um because they look a lot of like like a lot of like um okay so learn to sew it's another learn to sew pattern a true wrap skirt with waistband and self-tie views a and b ballet skirts are above the knee view b has a flounce which we can see here view c has a curved shaped hem and hits below the knee which might be what she's wearing view d is lower than calf length all right so we can zoom in and see the flounce a little bit better here so the vogue one it's all one piece you don't have a separate flounce okay so this must be the longer version straight not curved right that one has a little bit of a curve to it okay these do look a lot different once you get into the other views in the line drawings from that vogue one this one just happens to look a lot like that vogue one i quite like this one too i like the little flounce detail i don't know why this is coming up in the middle right or is it just how it's falling and it's learned to sew level one so super simple super straightforward i mean so is the vogue one to be perfectly honest um i bought the vogue one it does take a lot of fabric this one because it has the flounce would take well it depends on how you look at it could take more could take less i'd have to get into it because the flounce depending on if it's cut like a big donut could take up a lot but if it's cut just like a subtle curve maybe not so much i'd have to see how the pattern pieces lay out um the ballet skirt is really sweet this one with the flounce is really nice i'm not so sure i'd make either one of these though i mean depending on fabrics right because again this is one of those that you could make out of a ton of different fabrics i mean maybe these two are more suited for more drapey fabrics obviously but you could make these out of weightier ones this could even be you know like a lightweight wool of some kind so yeah i guess if you kind of think also the box in terms of fabrics you could definitely utilize all four of these and get four totally different looks so but for spring they're recommending crepes lawn cotton blends and lightweight satins so i definitely think that this is another one of those cases where some of these fabrics work for different views and others don't so like the lightweight satin for example is more of a structured fabric that would work well for c or d but i wouldn't recommend it for b i wouldn't recommend it for this floutsy thing you could make it out of this it would just instead of falling close to the body like it did on her which we can see here see how it's kind of just falling in on her it would stand away from the body a little bit more and all of this would create like a little bit more like that emoji with the red dancing girl a little more like that okay and we also need an itty bitty amount of lightweight fusible i think it's just for the waistband and the ties maybe but it's alphanumeric sizing again they're making the sizing very easy this is not one of the things that you even if you really only need your waist measurement for this because you can just well i mean i don't know maybe you only need your hip measurement and then you can just tighten the ties to adjust to your waist but nonetheless one and three quarters of a yard of fabric for the short one the flounce does take a little bit more one and a quarter yards more and then depending on the length you have these one and a half two and a half yards for that so yeah finished government measurements they're only giving us the hip because they think that the waist is you know adjustable which it is so finished hip is 36 and a half to 54 and a half yep and there is a you know there's a big jump here four inches between the two but you could easily grade between these and make a large plus and fall somewhere in here the the the side seams you're going to be able to see a big there's probably like an inch gap between each one maybe maybe a little bit less than that but you should be able to finagle it a little bit or if you're using a lighter weight fabric air for the larger size and a more structured fabric um try and get closer to your actual size you know alphanumeric sizing is nice but it is more of a kind of estimate so all right now we've got some pants shorts yeah oh and a skirt okay so melissa watson for palmer plush if you're not familiar palmer plush has a kind of tissue fitting method so when you get your pattern you look at the tissue paper you're going to see like all these lines and you can add like for pants for example they'll have full tummy adjustment full busted i mean sorry full seat adjustment of course lots of length and shortened lines the idea is that if you follow their method you will get a better fitting garment right out of the gate but you have to fully understand what those adjustments do how much of those adjustments you need and that's sort of the part where i feel like we aren't getting educated on that from them which is why i've never fully you know been a big cheerleader for a palmer plush i've gotten their patterns before i've tried to do them but i and i see all the lines i see where i'm supposed to cut and i get the concept of it but then it's just like well now what you know like how much do i do do i even need this alteration i'm not sure so that's a little bit of the i will say though there is a pair of coolots that i made from them where i did the full seat adjustment i was kind of just guessing and it is one of the better fitting crotch garments that i have so maybe i should be a better cheerleader for them than i am maybe i just chalked that up to luck when really it wasn't it was drafting and i should so maybe this maybe i will grab this and give it a go and see what i think okay all like to say skirt shorts and cool lot have softly pleated front and back darts all of yous have shaped waistbands with button openings on side and inset pockets you can also see this is hitting just below her waist so a shaped pocket i mean i'm sorry a shaped waistband makes perfect sense it also has kind of like a yoke shape to it um and then clearly a very strong center front pleat um and then these are also pretty deep pleats as well i love the idea of how this turns into the pocket i think i hope they show us that um and the style of it just looks great with this little high neck halter rib knit and then all this like um kind of vintage evocation vibes i'm getting there's the short and i'm assuming she's wearing the cool lot right is that what we think but it could very well be the skirt i'm not entirely sure to be honest i think this the stopping point of this seam here could be reevaluated this feels a little bit low maybe it's just on her um but even in the front view for her i felt like it was a little long right doesn't i think that's where this whole fold well that could be from her knee because she's got her knee popped out so maybe not so much that maybe this one it just feels like it's pointing right to this little point here i feel like if this stopped up here maybe this would get some of the relief that it needs and then same thing in the back you do have these and i feel like these are pointing right at this thing i also love this fabric that she chose i want to say it's probably a linen blend so they also still aren't telling us which is the skirt and which is the short and cool lot but i'm guessing skirt short cool lot i'm guessing all right so wool blends maybe that's what she had some kind of wool and linen blend maybe gabardine crepe i mean i could see it in 100 linen even i could see it in some kind of like lightweight suitings um i'm trying to think like twill i don't know i think it needs a little bit of drape so maybe like a ray on twill would be nice something along those lines lining fabric and lightweight fusible two buttons and one hook and i the skirt is a so just like i thought um and then only the waistband is interfaced then the shorts be the shorter of the two couple yards of fabric and then the pants the coolots need three and a half yards but i think that model was very tall i wish they i wish they would tell us information like that but she seems like a tall person to me excuse me and this is hitting closer to her ankle than it is her knee so i would bet that most of us average size people or even petite uh could lop off a lot of length here and get this down to maybe a three yard maybe even a little bit less than that and then finish garment measurements just the widths okay all right i mean like i said i should probably give this another go and see if because i mean i also said that other garment a couple years ago maybe three or four years ago so maybe i've come a long way in terms of fitting on my own and also would appreciate their method a little bit more specifically regarding pants okay unisex shirts and hats unisex camp shirt has tux with and without patch pockets and short or long sleeves view c has decorative trim includes bucket hat and four sizes i'm guessing that's the fitted band part choose a fun print for beach day yeah i mean i think it looks exceptional on him on her i feel like maybe it's with the khakis maybe that's what's throwing me off she feels like a like vintage bowling alley team member he looks great i don't know about the hat but his shirt looks wonderful right i mean maybe this one was illustrated to give us a masculine vibe but it's feeling masculine to me i mean that one especially there's your bucket hat hmm i don't not like it i just think it looks a little bit like you know dowdy on her where on him it looks really cool and modern and hip i guess because guys fashion like being vintage is modern and in women's fashion being vintage is just vintage it's just you know so hmm and i'm having a really hard time envisioning this this feels like a tuxedo shirt but these definitely are not so i guess it's just illustrating that you can make it in a long sleeve and is this like some kind of special trim or something and then have more of a fancier vibe to it all right poplin cotton blends linen and lightweight denim like chambray all of that makes perfect sense to me they probably should have added shortings i don't know why that seems like the most obvious but then d has oh the hat has a lining so lining fabrics like a lawn or you could just double up on whatever fabric you used um eight buttons twelve buttons and then there is trim in view c this is some kind of um one half to five eighths inch wide trim so maybe if you made this version put a little bit of like eyelet trim in there i don't know i'm trying to like modern it up a little bit alphanumeric sizing from small to 3xl couple yards of fabric shirt c does take a little bit more because of the sleeves and then here's your hat requirements and then i mean the lower edge of the width could be considered the hip measurement um but i think you're probably going to be basing this off of your chest size so i wish they would have given bust measurements but 43 and a quarter up to 63 and a quarter yeah i don't hate it i love it for a guy for me i don't know i think there's a lot of a lot cuter ways to use these kind of like lightweight cottons than than this for me okay now we have okay so you guys have talked me into at least looking at the line drawings of the vintage patterns so here we are um this is a 1976 reissued sewing pattern and i'm getting all the vibes of this late mid to late 70s for sure um both in how she is tan and the midriff showing and the elastic and the flowers and yes all the 70s feelings yeah i mean that's very faucet right for her one of these two girls maybe these are trolleys angels all together it is feeling a little bit costuming i will say if i were to make this today and wear it out to target would people think she's going to a roller rink 70s party later and that's why she's wearing this outfit um we do have a basic sort of elasticated pants super wide leg super high waist this i think is a skirt here's your little top you know that ties up to give your midriff and then look at these i don't even i can't even make heads or tails of what is happening here your sleeves are just i guess these are like all rectangles if you've been quilting it looks like you could probably use some of your quilting skills to make these little things um and then here's your the back of the envelope yeah i don't fully understand what that means those when you see the girls again oh are they just like i think it's three rectangles and they just get top stitched onto each other i don't know i don't understand that construction but they look great i can get behind some 70s fashion but i'd want it to make i don't want to make sure that it looked like not a costume so this is a dress in top 1975 where you should sewing pattern this is not meant to be a nightgown is that what they're telling me so you have like this little square neckline which is cute flutter sleeve very modern this little like is this a belt or was it a sewn in waistband hard to tell but you've also got lovely princess seams i mean this looks very modern they said i think that's a separate belt i can't tell if it's sewn in and why does she have such bad posture girlfriend stand up straight okay so it is a sewn in belt so it's sewn in like a waistband to the side seams and then it's loose from there to where you can tie it so in a lot of ways this is adjustable um which is nice for those of us that have fluctuating fluctuating waistlines like myself this one's cute i like this one i think you could make it out of all kinds of fabrics and you know not look like i mean of course you know baby pink with you know whatever this is supposed to be looks like a nightgown um but i think you could make it out of something similar to this and have it be a cute little sundress for sure or even like this with some kind of like embroidered cotton or something it would be like a nod to the 70s but not like it's still like a modern version of it i guess i guess these don't feel you know sometimes the vintage patterns when they harken back to like the teens and 20s and 30s that's when i get real lost because i just don't have a good understanding of those patterns this feels like that wasn't that long ago i mean i wasn't born yet but um but still feels sort of recent okay so now we have this sleep set and you guys know i am a sucker for a pajama romper if i'm not the one who has coined and trademark and registered that name i should be because i've been talking about pajama rompers for a long time um this one is no different yes we're gonna talk about it in the realm of sleepwear but i would wear this out okay so with that said romper and wide leg jumpsuit have deep be necklines with front pleats at shoulder straps and i'm assuming we'll see that yes um robes have sash and flowy or blouson raglan long sleeves robe link options are above the knee and lower calf length which is her pink version here all loungewear styles have side seam pockets perfect wedding and bridal party ensemble interesting that they're giving us like little suggestions of how we can wear them for special events like remember the other one said something about beach day and this is now telling me i need to make this for my bridal party so v-neck center front seam romper side seam pockets the robe is pretty straightforward it does have the raglan sleeve like they explained maybe like a yeah there's like a front um it's not a placket but like a what's it called like a little panel here and this is a very wide drapey open sleeve on the robe here's the romper um without the robe on so you can see the the straps are sewn in separately like they're attached right here this is that pleat detail that they're talking about it's very hard to see right here but there is a little pleat going up into here which just gives you like it more room for your bust really um this though looks really low like i think that's the bottom of the arm side which i understand the drapey loosey flowy pajama situation but it should also still fit right i mean you turn over the wrong way and your whole boob is hanging out don't you think maybe not your whole boob depending on how big your boobs are but you know what i'm saying like this just feels even in the drawing really low we do have a shorts version here is the robe you can put some elastic at the cuff to give it that blouson sort of vibe like they were explaining and then there she is with a tight up a little bit yeah you can see a little bit better how the sleeves are here not a ton better though i also would like to see a better understanding of these side seam pockets i guess they're just literally in the side seam of both options which means they're floppy teardrop pockets so i would pass plus who needs pockets when you go to bed maybe in the robe maybe in the robe but i think i would rather put on some patch pockets maybe i don't know but it's cute she's really really cute they had another um last season last season remember the pink loungewear set with a romper i got that one so maybe i should start collecting them but if i were to fix this sleeve issue i would make this out of a very similar fabric as this and you better believe i would be sleeping waking up going to run errands at target and coming back home all in my pajamas um yes i would not hesitate to do that for one second yeah okay so here we can see the the seams a little bit better it is just a side seam pocket so floppy teardrop pockets um you might could redraft them to go to the center front seam since there is this seam here just to anchor it in place at least at the top but the robe you could not because the robe has no seams to it whatsoever i mean but this looks like any other romper it doesn't necessarily give me pajama vibes they just threw in this robe with it and so now it's like oh now it's pajamas but i think it could be either okay charmeuse crepe shally jersey knit even um very comfy elastic for that one sleeve and that's really it there's not any notions there's no interfacing no buttons no zippers none of that two yards of fabric for the shorts three and one eighths for the jumpsuit you could probably again fudge that just to get um it right at the three-yard mark by making the pants shorter not to mention i'm finding that more often than not i'm having to shorten the bodices of mine so i could probably even eke that out of two and a half depending on how much of this i have to shorten um and then your robe yeah the robe's gonna take a lot i mean it's just a lot of fabric you know big sleeves loose fitting bodice all of that finish links are all they're gonna give us but it is pretty loose fitting everywhere so i can kind of see i think this is gonna do well for them i like this one okay now we have a little menswear pajama set drafted for men i believe when it's unisex it uses a different block than menswear right and unisex is also a different block than women's wear does anybody know the answers to those things um but it's a men's lounge wear set this is similar to vintage and undergarment type stuff where i just don't fully understand it so we're just gonna quickly like take a look but it is your classic pajamas right like they added some piping i mean it's carolin pajama's big four style um yeah i mean not to say a woman couldn't wear this i just would wonder if it's because i think a woman's would be straight down right and a mens would cut in is that correct the side seam would go straight down or out for a woman and if for a man it either goes straight down or in is that right i might be making that up here is another menswear pattern it shorts i'm so happy to see the guys getting like their own love i think in the past um simplicities have i taken care of with me me g and norris they've pretty much got the menswear covered but if we've seen any menswear it's been in the unisex category so it's nice to see that they are getting their own here it doesn't look like oh no he is wearing them okay so they it's more of a cargo pant with the coffin buttons i mean i don't know the shorts are probably pretty cute yeah you can tell that they don't do a lot of menswear because this stuff's pretty basic i mean you take off all this la di da and you've just got a basic mens trousers uh mens jean even um this is growing on me though if you want to be a cool guy i can see you doing that you know an it guy all right so now we're getting into accessories so we've got a little purse here all purses have an inside pocket all right just a little oh stop that purse is this pattern remember when i said i thought that that was really cute well no wonder you can make it yourself here are all the designs this little design of purse who is it that is doing is it chanel somebody has this purse and i'm seeing it all over tiktok and it's like black satin so um yes they are saying cotton cotton blends twill synthetic leather synthetic suede yeah even like a crate back satin and then you line it with cotton blends lining fabric interfacing heavy weight uh craft weight sew in yeah 100 um zipper magnetic snap and also maybe a chain if you want to add like a shoulder strap to it who gets a chain see oh this is a chain length of your choice and then e is a zipper so a c and d get a zipper how fun i mean isn't that so cute i want one i'm getting that i'm gonna make that i wonder if i have fabric in my stash um now we have a tote and pouch um rope strap totes have inside pockets man look at that grommet that's huge how do you even install that have you ever seen a grommet so big oh i kind of love the cheetah the stripe that's really cute big giant ropes oh that's it just the two so either an outside pocket or not and then color blocked or not but yeah the little um the little uh where did it go tassel thingies are really cute or feathers or whatever it is they're using um this is caught my eye headliner utility fabric for your interfacing headliner is what is on the roof of your car not the roof but like the inside top of your car um fusible fleece and then you can make your little pouch out of chenille or cotton and cotton blends i imagine like all kinds of leathers and stuff too because it looks like it's sewn wrong sides together so that could be a big fun project how big are those grommets one and nine sixteenths of an inch grommets so almost one and a half a little more than one and a half and then a grommet tool yeah i think i wonder where you get a grommet and a grommet tool that big couldn't you also instead of buying the grommets couldn't you also do like hand embroidery like all the way around it would that be stable enough trying to have a way to make it doable without having to spend a lot of money on all these tools and stuff yeah fun okay this is little girls clothes i mean freaking adorable always look at this baby and then you have your little stuffies which are equally fun okay mccole spring i mean i feel like it was one of those even for me like super polarizing collections where the patterns i either loved or didn't really love it all there were none that were sort of just like meh in between it was yes i want this or no i don't want this um i am appreciating you know again their attention to the trends i feel like they're they're on it with that um and the learn to sew patterns i think were really great additions this time too sometimes those can feel very like basic and in in the terms of sewing they are basic but in terms of design they don't necessarily have to be the melissa did a good job with polymer flesh pattern this time sometimes on my opinion those can be a little bit of a throwaway as well but yeah the standout for me is probably the pajama sets or the like pajama romper and the bag for sure and then i'll probably grab melissa's pattern and the knit dress the with the cutouts just because i want to give melissa's pattern a try again and the knit dress is not like anything that i have in my wardrobe where was it this one here um i feel like i could make that wear it a million places this summer i didn't wear that to target um so maybe with the flat and the jean jacket or something but um but yeah i think it was a really cute collection let me know what you guys thought in the comment section below let me know what you're gonna be adding to your shopping list there is no sale at joanne um that i know of and through at least march second i just put the post up on instagram today so um maybe with this new collection coming out they'll do a sale in early march which we could all hope for um but yeah that's gonna do it for me today i've linked uh here in the insulate to last week's first impression friday video which was for indy powder and company petite stitchery um and if you like these videos please subscribe click the bell give this video a like but thanks so much for watching and i will see you all very soon bye


This is Silicon Angles the Cube, our continuous production of AWS Summit. We're here live at the Moscone Center. My colleague and everyday co-host John Furrier is down at Stanford today at the Accel Partners, big data event. But we're here, we've been covering this wall to wall. Big data is obviously a hot topic. Machine data is one of the fastest growing and most underused by components of big data. And Jeff Sanjay Sarathi is here. He's the CMO of SumoLogic, a company that is in this field. Sanjay, welcome to the Cube. Thank you. So we're here at the AWS Summit. This is just unbelievable, the cloud is screaming, there's an old saying, big data gives the cloud something to do and machine data as I said is really growing super fast. So give us the update on SumoLogic where you guys are at and then we can get into the whole AWS angle. Sure, so SumoLogic is a company that was founded in 2010. And the entire premise is that the growth of machine data is the fastest growing component of big data. And this machine data can come from every part of your infrastructure, from applications, from your network infrastructure, from wireless devices. And the big challenge is not just collecting and aggregating and managing that data but actually generating insight from it. That's part of what we do. So how do you do that?  How do you guys make sense out of it and as we like to say, get signal from that noise? Sure, so a huge part of it is in our patent pending technological wall bridges which really solves one of the biggest problems around big data which is what do you do about data that you know nothing about? And so what we provide is a way to distill hundreds of thousands of log messages into a set of patterns. And those patterns are what provide that insight because you as somebody who's running that IT infrastructure actually knows what that message means. So those patterns tell you where to focus and give you the ability to essentially find that needle in the haystack without having to comb through every single part of the haystack first. So you're using math, statistics. Yeah, we have a lot of data science, machine learning is a huge part of our infrastructure. Every time you send data to us, we learn about what that data actually means. And when you interact with that data by telling us what's important and what's not important, that machine learning essentially takes that into account. And so the next time you do a query or an analysis on top of that machine data, we're actually providing you with the results that make sense for you and for your particular situation. So give me an example. So I've got my data, what do I do? I load it up into the cloud and I access your service. Take us through sort of a simple example. Sure, so you may have data in your data center, you could have data in the AWS cloud, you could have data off a network somewhere in your data center, and we'll essentially collect all that machine data typically in the form of walks and we'll then suck it into our cloud-based service and then we'll index it, we'll parse it, we'll allow you to immediately start creating searches of it because all of that data is collected in real time. We don't tell you to come back in an hour and then start searching. You can start searching as soon as that data gets indexed. Instinct gratification. Instinct gratification, better than an ice cream. So what happens is... Yet because it grows, it doesn't just go away. It doesn't just go away. And so what happens is as soon as you start getting that insight, you can then start performing analyses on it. You can start doing correlations across different parts of your infrastructure. You can perform statistical analysis on it. And then once you start doing that, you get a better handle of actually what's going on in the infrastructure. And so that gives you the ability to start baselining your infrastructure and say, this is really what the infrastructure is supposed to do. And then when anomalies occur, you instinctively know what those anomalies mean because they're 10% above or 10% below that baseline that you've set for your infrastructure. So what are people doing with your product? We talk about some of the applications and use cases. Sure, so for example, Netflix is a client of ours and they use us to manage their entire internal IT infrastructure. One example, they collect logs from their virtualization infrastructure, which is VMware and they troubleshoot it, monitor it, correlate it with other parts of what's going on in their infrastructure. We have a customer called Apigee, which is the API company. And they use us for a couple of different purposes. They use us for compliance purposes so that, because they need a centralized way to collect, manage and store all their logs to compliance purposes, and they use us as a single system of record for them. They also use us to essentially monitor the errors as part of the application development process. Again, so the use cases range from application monitoring, they range from application management, operations management to compliance and security. Okay, and then, how do you charge for your, is it a service, is it a product, a combination? Yeah, it's a service, it's a cloud-based service, so we charge on a subscription basis, and it's based on really two factors, how much data you want us to ingest and analyze, and how long you want us to store the data. Okay, so you charge by the terabyte of ingestion? Yeah, by the gigabyte, by the terabyte of data. And we're very flexible, so it's not based on how much data you're ingesting on that behalf, we normalize it over the course of a month. So if you need to elastically scale to handle one day's worth of bursting data, we can do that, and it won't affect necessarily your payment without spending a cost. So what's your relationship with Amazon, how do you leverage Amazon web services? Sure, we're built entirely on the Amazon cloud. When we started the service in 2010, we realized very quickly that Amazon essentially turns the data center into an API, and we want to essentially hire developers who can write to that API, we don't want to hire data center experts. And so we run on top of EC2, we run essentially in S3, because we store all our customer logs as well as our own production logs in S3, and we use DynamoDB for all our metadata storage. Okay, so Dynamo is your key value store and allows you to scale and service. Okay, good. So talk about this event. What have you guys got going at this event? Maybe some of the customers that you've talked to, what they're saying, what's the buzz line? The buzz has been great. I mean, we were at the New York event as well, and so Anna, the first reinvent event and back in November. What we found at these events, it's both a great learning experience for our team from our engineer perspective for some of the technical sessions, and it's a great place to do business with both existing customers who are here as well as prospects who we've been able to meet. So can you, we talked earlier about the sort of machine data that's underutilized, growing fast. Can you quantify that? Yeah, there's more data that's going to be generated, more machine data generated in 10 seconds in 2013 than was generated the entire year, a decade ago in 2003. So there's more data being generated across every part of your infrastructure, and the big challenge early is how do you create insight out of that and what do you do with it? And most companies are talking with a large, Midwestern consumer goods company, and they said, we have a farm of 3,000 web servers, and we have no idea what data is being generated from that, and we have customers buying product off that web server farm, and they said, can you help us? And we said, yes, I think we can. So who do you sell to? Who's kind of like your perfect profile of buyer that you're interacting with? So our target audience typically is the IT audience. We sell to the DevOps community, we sell to VPs of application management, we sell to VPs of operation. Ultimately, they report typically up into the CIL, and this is not just a technical purchase decision, it's a business purchase decision, because a lot of the insights that are being generated by those machine data affect how customers are buying, what customer service is being impacted potentially by outages in your infrastructure, how you're dealing with porters, and so a lot of the machine data actually impact day-to-day business decisions, which is why oftentimes we start with IT and the decisions made with IT, but it's through the business use case of mine. Talk about that business use case, that economic model, you know, the ROI. I was curious, what's usually the first business use case to get them to start paying attention to logs? Yeah, a lot of times it's supporting an SLA that's in the place. So if a company has a 3.9 or a 4.9 SLA, then you need to support that because that actually means dollars out of your pocket if you're not there. Then companies use Sumo Logic to meet their SLA to understand where they may be, where their applications may be running more slowly than expected, where they may have downtime in the infrastructure they need to solve. There's a great example of a customer that was in our conference from one day and we were showing them the power of logics, the ability to create patterns from this data. And they had five or six of their IT staff there and we were showing them these patterns. And all of a sudden the conversation stopped, they started talking amongst themselves and three people just left the conference room and said, excuse me, we now know what's wrong, we need to go solve it. There was an SLA issue and we needed to figure out what was going on with the data. Was that hypothesis based when you started playing with the data? Or is it still in the surface? It just surfaces it. We don't necessarily know what the hypothesis is. We just know what the patterns are. But that's why the combination of humans plus machine learning is very, very powerful. You as a human know what those patterns actually mean. And so you can then delve into those patterns to figure out root cause analysis and then figure out what's actually going on. Yeah, interesting. So Shift Gears a little bit and talk about you're starting a business in 2010 that's super data intensive.  Yeah, for us it was absolutely a no brainer. We knew right off the bat we didn't want to build our own data center. We knew that we wanted to get to market quickly. And with all those considerations in mind we said it absolutely makes sense for us to build this in the cloud. And at the time it made absolute sense to look at AWS and say, hey, do they provide us with the necessary infrastructure to make that happen? And the more we examined it it just became a no brainer, we just said. It's in the cloud. It's going to be a service. AWS provides us with everything. I mean economics have to make sense first and foremost. We're building a business on it. Yeah, and the economics the economics made sense both when we started off and as we've grown over the past three years considerably at scale they make even more sense. And that's been from a TCO perspective it makes sense for our customers as well because they've been able to offload the cost of managing servers and storage for all the log and machine data and people to handle all that. And so when we go into prospects and show them the TCO argument of a cloud-based service versus an on-premise-based environment it's a very easy decision to make. Wow. Sanjay, talk about how you differentiate from the competition. There's a lot of buzz now in the marketplace. You've got obviously you've got Splunked at an IPO. You've got guys like HP and IBM saying, oh, we can do that too. You guys 2010, so you're bringing a 2010 on perspective. How are you different than the other players out there? Yeah, I think it boils down to a couple of things. One is in the whole analytics sphere, the whole notion of being able to create patterns from the amount of machine data that you have and those patterns and the insight you generate from those patterns are a lot of times a wild factor when we go into clients accounts because they've never seen those patterns before. The second really is the elastic scalability of our service and certainly sitting on top of Amazon helps us. But the ability to immediately support a customer that needs to burst 5x, 10x the amount of data that they did potentially in the prior day and then to skim up and down is something that's a huge value add to our customers so that they know that they can handle customer surges whenever they might occur. So you're all in on cloud. Anil Bhushri is on the board obviously. He knows a little bit about Cloud Workday. Co-CEO of Workday is the hottest IPO out there and excellent, great story. Really appreciate you sharing it with us and thanks for coming on theCUBE. Good luck and we'll probably see you at re-invent. Absolutely, thanks a lot for having me. All right, it's a pleasure to meet you. Thank you. All right, everybody, keep right there. Jeff Frick and I will be back to wrap up the day from AWS Summit. We're here at the Moscone. This is theCUBE. We're live. We're here all day wall-to-wall coverage. We've got our colleagues down in Stanford, John Furrier's down there. Check out SiliconANGLE2 for that channel. We'll be right back with our next guest and our wrap up right after this.


Absolutely. It's been proven. I am a lesbian scientific study. No, don't applaud him either. I will tell you who you can applaud.


Since the commercialization of marijuana in Colorado, its use among adolescents and young adults has increased significantly, up to a 50% increase reported in a single year. And according to the American Academy of Pediatrics, marijuana is not a benign drug for teens. The teen brain is still developing, and marijuana may cause abnormal brain development, which is why they and the Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry have officially opposed legalization, whereas adult users appear comparatively immune to cannabis-induced long-term changes in brain function and structure. The same cannot be said of those starting during their early teens when effects are both more severe and more long-lasting. During puberty, parts of the brain are actually reorganizing themselves, making this a vulnerable period. Remarkably, the brain does not complete development until approximately age 25. Okay, but is this just reefer madness revisited? Show me the data. Yeah, studies of long-term heavy users tend to show they perform worse on various tests, but how do we know they weren't that way before they even started using?  And so what you need are prospective longitudinal investigations, meaning following kids over time before and after to see what's really going on. Even better, you might think, would be a randomized control trial where you force half the kids to smoke, and even if that were ethical, it could merely show that cannabis has the potential to impair cognition. Only a prospective longitudinal study can really get at whether it's actually impairing brain function in the real world and how much. This was the first study ever published, about 100 young adults assessed since infancy, and after controlling for other factors like alcohol use and their brain function before they started smoking, the bad news is that they did find that regular heavy users did do significantly worse in terms of overall IQ, processing speed, and memory. But the good news was that the effects seemed to be temporary. The brains of those who smoked heavily, but then stopped, appeared to start functioning normally again after like three months. So yeah, if you're in school, of course you want to function at your best, but at least there's no permanent brain damage, or so we thought. The average use of these former smokers was only about two years. They were testing them when they were about 18 years old. In this study, they didn't just follow 100 kids, but 1,000 from birth, all the way to age 38. What did they find? They found that same decline in brain function confirmed by reports of trusted friends and family, especially among those who started younger, but here's the kicker. Sensation of cannabis use did not fully restore brain function among those who started in their teens, even if they subsequently quit. So this suggests a true long-standing neurotoxic effect on the adolescent brain, which justifies why public health authorities are so concerned. And it was a global decline in mental function across all five tested domains— executive function, memory processing speed, perceptual reasoning, and verbal comprehensive, consistent with the thought that there's a critical brain development window that you just don't want to mess with. The decline in IQ, about six points, is the kind of brain damage you see with like low-level lead exposure, both of which are potentially preventable. But how? Do we need more dare drug abuse resistance education? Maybe if it wasn't a complete failure. No beneficial effects in terms of changing drug use or even attitudes towards drug use, which appear to be getting more permissive over time. Combined with earlier ages of initiation. And so increasing efforts should be directed towards delaying the onset of cannabis use by young people, at least until adulthood.


YouTube now lets you remove these active community guideline strikes by taking a test. I will show you the questions in that test, but I will not answer them for you because you need to answer them correctly yourself. So this is our community guideline strike that we got a long time ago and we appealed for it three years ago and it was rejected. Now YouTube lets you take a test even if your appeal was rejected to eliminate this community guideline strike. So let me show you the questions and you have to answer them. I got all of them answered correctly on the first attempt. Yay George! How about you? Let's see the test. Okay, first, here is the YouTube help article talking about the policy. The link is down there in the description below. You should read it so that you can ace this test just like I did. Now here you will click take training and as soon as you start the test, it's a multiple choice test. You just have to read carefully and answer all the questions. Once you've answered them correctly, then your community guideline strike, the warning, will disappear after three months. So here's question one. Have a read carefully. Here is question two. They're quite similar questions actually, but they do have subtle differences. Here is question three. Again, pause the video to read it. And here is question four. There aren't too many questions, but this one's a bit more wordy. Here's question five. Now the next one will have multiple selections, not just A or B. And here are the four selections. You have to choose all of the ones that apply. So this is not such a simple question as the previous ones were. And this is another one with the same style. Check all that apply. And finally, when you're done, if you got them all correct, you'll get a nice success message just like I did. And as you can see, even though I answered everything correctly, the warning will expire in 90 days from the time I got all the answers correct. It doesn't expire right away, which is what I was expecting actually, because I've already had this warning for three years. Look, before you would have this warning forever. It never went away. But now, through the goodness of YouTube's heart, they decided to give you a way to remove the warning by taking this test. So it is an actual benefit. I am happy that I have to wait only three months versus forever for the warning to go away, because I think I've done my time. I understood my mistake and I won't do it again. So how many of you have had the same issue with your community guidelines strike warning, and now you can remove it? Tell me down there in the comments below, a place where there are no community guidelines strikes is heartbeat behind me. And we will start paying you, all of you who are using heartbeat, as soon as we launch Heartbeat Studio, which is the same as YouTube Studio, but for heartbeat, where we'll pay you a penny if you earn a penny. There is no minimum threshold, meaning the first piece of content you post on heartbeat that's monetized starts paying you no thousand subscribers or 4,000 watch hours in order to be eligible for monetization, as it is on YouTube. And we have some new users that I want to feature in this episode. But first, what do you have to do? Just go to www.h.ki, H key, which is also the hot key you press to create a new heartbeat moment. So after you go to h.ki, then click Moments Extension. That will let you install the Heartbeat Moments Chrome extension, which now has 193 users, almost 200. After you've installed the Chrome extension, then you can get to business and creating moments that will help you make money when we enable monetization with Heartbeat Studio. Soon, I'm thinking next month might be even sooner. We'll see. So by creating moments, by pressing the H key, you now have unique content that you can embed into writing and can monetize those blogs. When that happens, you start making money.  That's exactly the same as YouTube. We didn't do that by accident. What we're doing is we're taking the YouTube business model because it's a successful good business model. And we are inspired by it to create a very similar business model for you. The difference is you can make money from moments of other people's content, not just your own. Let me show you. This is one of our new users. He created an Aquaman moment. Here it is. Is this his video? No. Can he make money from it? In a blog featuring this clip? Yes, on Heartbeat. How is that possible? It is because while the video itself has ads that YouTube plays, we can display ads on Heartbeat around the video or any blog that uses it. That is unique content that we can monetize separately from the video. The reason we're allowed to do it is because the video is allowed to be embedded on any website.  We're not monetizing the video. We're not re-uploading the video to our YouTube channel and saying, hey, make money off Aquaman on my channel. No. All we're doing is we're using Heartbeat moments to create these moments. You see these moments? One, two, three, four, five, six. Aquaman is supposed to be king. These are the moments that are created from this embedded video, which we are monetizing. We're not monetizing the video, guys. We're monetizing the moments and not just the moments. We will be monetizing articles. We call vikis the for video wiki. Here's a good example. This is, legends never die. Live performance from the 2017 World Championships of League of Legends. I did not make this video. But look, I am writing these moments. I say a big dragon. Unexpected. Oh, really? Show me the big dragon. Great. Click. There it is. Pretty big dragon, right? I was very impressed. That moment is now in my article, my viki, at vi.ki. And I can now monetize this viki when we launch Heartbeat Studio. And I can make money off of this moment because I'm not monetizing the video. I'm monetizing the article. This is the power of Heartbeat moments, guys. You can create moments about anything you like. When writers use your moments in their articles, you make money as a contributor. How much do you make? Well, remember I said the writer gets 55%. That leaves 45% for the platform. What YouTube does not do is share that 45% with you. We will. As a contributor, someone who created the moment or a photo that is used in someone else's work, you will get paid from our cut from our 45%. We will set aside a pool of money that will be paid to contributors. Now, you don't have to just be contributing passively like creating moments and wait for someone else to use your moments. You can be active. You can edit people's articles, fix their spelling mistakes, rewrite their paragraphs, actively inject moments or photos you think are helpful. You will also get paid in that way as an active contributor. You can just be a photographer. On H.ki, we have photos, heartbeat photos right here. Photos, these photos can be your photos that you upload to your heartbeat photos account and same idea. If anyone uses these photos, like here's some photos I've made of Civilization 4, one of my favorite games of all time. If anyone uses these photos in their articles, then you get paid as a contributor. Now, it could be beautiful scenes. It could be your family photos. It could be pictures of your travels, anything you like. The whole point of heartbeat photos is it's a click list gallery. Just hover. And if you want to zoom in, just mouse wheel. And then you can just move the thumbnails around if you like. You can hide this hamburger menu. You can open up the Details tab to see a bunch of stuff about each photo. There's a lot that you can do. And it's all there free for you. It's all part of the heartbeat platform. Why is it free? Because we're going to monetize it in the way I explained. Photos are free. And anyone can use them in their monetized work. And when that monetized work makes money, we pay everybody, the writer, 55%. The photographer from the 45% platform fee that most platforms will never share. The editors who fixed spelling mistakes and rewrote paragraphs. The people who injected photos and moments to existing articles. Everybody gets paid. Contributors, writers, photographers, curators. That's the difference. And that's the power of what I think will make heartbeat a great platform for everybody. There are no minimum requirements, as I mentioned. No thousand subscriber rule. You can make money from the first piece of content you upload. Let's not repeat myself, Captain Obvious George. But we're really excited for all this. And I hope you'll join us on this journey. Start at h.ki. Get the Chrome extension. Add it to your Google Chrome. And then start creating moments. All of the links are on all of our sites. You can see here more from heartbeat. It's all here. We also have Freedom mentioned, of course. And this is built by Freedom, the Freedom team. We have Aegis, which is our content ID rights management platform to protect your original videos and music from all the people stealing it on YouTube. We can reclaim the revenue from any channel that is using your content without permission with Aegis. We have spam.tm. Check your spam score. See how good your channel is compared to what it could be. And it'll help identify ways you can improve your channel to stay safe. We have Thumbs. This is our thumbnail generator. Not generator, but grabber. So you can paste any YouTube link and get the YouTube thumbnail. Very easy. And the Viki, the moments extension photos I've already talked about. Now, guys, if you're on YouTube and you're watching any video, let's just pick a random video from here. MGN Minecraft Server. Oh, by the way, did you know we launched a new 2023 MGN Minecraft Server? Click that I to see this video in case you missed it. And you like Minecraft. So if I'm watching this video and I come across a cool moment, let's say I don't have the Chrome extension installs, like look at that sunset. Cool. I just replace the dot com with h.ki. Let me show you. So this is the URL, right? This is the website link for YouTube. Just take the dot com, replace it with h.ki, hkey, enter. And look what happens. You go straight to heartbeat with the moment that you can then monetize, or not monetize, that you can then create moments of your favorite experiences here on heartbeat. That's it. So now I'm watching the video embedded on heartbeat. And if I come across a cool moment, like the sunrise, I just press H, yeah, here we go again, H. And I just created a moment of the horse. Now let's go to another section of the video. Maybe this was a cool moment, water, press H. I have to click correctly. Now we have two moments, and there they are. Moment one, horse, moment two, water. And if I want to edit the moment, I just click this little edit, I can nudge it, like maybe go back a few more point one seconds, get the very beginning of the horse, that's good. We'll call this horse in Minecraft. And then we have a moment saved. Now we look at moment two. What's moment two? Ah, this is the beautiful water. Let's again, nudge it. Let's go back a second, get to the very beginning of the water. That's a bit too far. Let's go forward a second. Let's go back a few point seconds. Yeah, that's about right. So this is gorgeous water in Minecraft. Now whatever you like, the whole point is you can create any title you want, add any tags, put it to any playlist, put it in a description, all the metadata you're used to on YouTube, you can place for each moment, and then each moment has its own URL. Do you see the URL changing? Look up here. This is the moment one, this is moment two. It's a different moment. You can share your moments with friends and family just by sharing this URL for any moment you're looking at. And then you'll be able to embed these moments into writing or writers will be able to look at all the moments created by you and everyone else to put into their articles to make them better and more exciting. So that's the power of heart. I mentioned I want to feature a few partners here. So there was this new guy, his name is Let's Travel. He's the one who created this moment. We can see his heartbeat here. So Let's Travel is also a YouTube channel. He has vlogs of his travels in the beautiful country of Pakistan. And here it is, Blind Lake Skardu. Here is one of his moments. So I'll click it, it's at eight minutes, click. And let's have a peek at Blind Lake Skardu. Look at that, amazing, beautiful. This is definitely not Dubai. Dubai, as you know, is a desert. And this is Four Seasons Lush Country. But the whole video is really cool. In fact, I would encourage you, Let's Travel to create more moments because I'm sure you have many more than just one moment in this eight minute vlog video of your country, your beautiful country. And what other kind of moments did he create? Let's have a look. So he made moments of infinite. I imagine one of his favorite movies, Cyberpunk, Aquaman, The Last Kingdom. This is the new Aquaman that's launching in December in theaters, this is the trailer. And he's got a moment of one of his favorite songs. Let's play it. Roll it. Oh, it's muted. Try again.  When you say you love me, that makes me. Check him out. How do you find Let's Travel? Well, when you go to h.ki just search for Let's Travel. There he is, right there with two followers. If you like his content, just click follow. Now I've already followed him, but let me unfollow just to show you how it looks. Just click follow and you'll become one of his followers. Why we chose follow? So we can say follow my heartbeat. Isn't that more personal and interesting? Then subscribe to my channel or follow me on Twitter. Follow my heartbeat. That's the message. People on heartbeat to grow their audience and make money when we launch Heartbeat Studio about a month. All right, I think that's enough. We're done talking. And yeah, I hope you enjoyed everything I've shown you. I am, who am I? I am the CEO and founder of Freedom. Where is it? Freedom. And also here, freedom. I am George Venous and you are the Freedom family and the Heartbeat family. Where we all help each other grow together as a family. That will never change. That is the spirit of freedom.

Hello, everyone. I'm Martin Pierce. First, I'd like to thank R. W. Berg for the generous scholarship and for this event. It's been fantastic, a really great experience overall. My story really starts back in 1984 when I was born. I was born in Milwaukee and I was born into an underprivileged family where, you know, didn't grow up very much. And there came a time when my mom decided to make that change and she returned to college. It took 12 years raising two children and overcoming a lot of obstacles, as we all know. But she did it. And now she has a master's degree. She is a practicing therapist and she's just really, really touched my heart and really shown me the way on how to do all of this. So she's not able to be here, but thank you, mom. It was one year ago today that I was working a dead-end job and feeling trapped, unfulfilled. I wasn't really going anywhere. I wasn't happy. And I knew that something had to change or I was going to be on that same path my whole life. And that's when I chose to go to Waukesha County Technical College and having been out of high school for 10 years, it was a bit of a challenge for me to break back in and get back into my group. And with the Technical College, I knew that it was practical. They could offer a hands-on real life experience that I could take and get employment with. So with everything that WCTC has provided, I know I've made the right choice. I know this has been a fantastic start for me, even though it's been less than a year that I just started. I've achieved a much higher level of confidence and that's been instilled in me through my instructors, through administrators, everyone that I've worked with at the campus. I was able to choose a specific major that directly correlated to the job that I wanted to do, which was really important to me. The broad spectrum really had me confused, so I was really, really happy to be able to specify what I wanted to do and be able to apply that. The warm, welcoming, fun environment that Waukesha County Technical College has provided is what was able to make me grow and become more of a confident person. I have to give a very, very, very special thank you to Dr. Susan Fenspie, who really got me started going at the college and gave me more of the motivation and courage to know that I could do it and really pushed me to gain as much experience and as much as I could from the experience overall. So thank you so much Susan, very much appreciated. I'm extremely grateful to everyone at Waukesha County so far. Everything's been fantastic and I know that I now have a new future for myself, just as my mother did. So I'm extremely grateful to everything that the college has provided and thank you very much for coming tonight.

Hey guys, welcome back to my channel. It is Drew here from Lone Fox and today is another DIY video Um, are we shocked or are we shocked because honestly? I've just been doing so many DIY videos, but you guys seem to love them and I really really love creating them They're some of my favorite videos that I actually create I love the whole process of going shopping for the supplies coming up with the projects brainstorming ideas Creating them filming them editing them every single part of it I just really really liked this one is packed with so many really amazing Projects that are totally aesthetically pleasing super simple very affordable and great for any room home living room apartment house decor Whatever it might be that you have and they're also very alterable like some of these things you can use different materials to just like suit Your own home design or suit your own projects, so whatever it may be I think you guys can definitely find something in this video that suits you which of course I'm so excited for you guys to watch but I do want to mention before jumping into it that today's video is Sponsored by audible which is absolutely amazing. I'm so excited about that You don't know what audible is and it's essentially a website and also an app I think you get it on multiple different devices and you can listen to audiobooks news comedy podcasts original content They have so much over on audible You can actually just go over to their site and sort of browse what they have But the thing I love about audible is that I can multitask, so I love DIYing while listening to one of my favorite books ever I actually read half the book when I think I was in high school and I never finish it But it's one of my favorite movies of all time and I know a lot of you guys are gonna be like what the heck My favorite movie ever is called the Lovely Bones This was one of the movies that I literally looked at every piece of production in the movie and was like wow This is absolutely amazing and of course going back to the actual book The book is even more amazing like it is crazy how good this book is and if you guys would like you can go to audible.com Slash loan fox or text loan fox to 500 500 to get a 30-day free trial and also one free audio book Which is amazing cuz they can choose any book you want or you can choose lovely bones If you want to listen along with me and every month you get one free audio book and two free audio originals from a changing list Which is amazing so you get a lot of content to listen to for the month and yeah I have so many fun projects for you guys today I think you are really going to love them and definitely don't forget to subscribe to my channel for brand new DIY content every single week And also home decor content all that fun stuff and you can also follow loan fox home on Instagram I'll put it on the screen for you guys right now where I post more behind-the-scenes stuff I ask you guys questions we go shopping together I'm gonna start doing some Instagram lives very soon tons of fun stuff over there, too But without further ado, let's just jump on into today's projects I am so in love with this first project and I use an oversized paper mache letter these little wooden plank pieces glue Pen and some scissors so these little wooden plank pieces that I found I got actually at Michaels craft store for just a couple of dollars And I'm laying them down over the letter and then kind of marking where I want to cut that piece And I'm actually creating this sort of like a brick pattern to where They are not perfectly aligned They do kind of stop in the middle just to create some more visual interest and texture and all you have to do is lay the plank piece down flip it over use Appended trace on the backside and then use a pair of scissors to cut it and the scissors cut these pieces so easily So don't worry about that. They're very very thin and very easy to cut So as you see on this curve here, I just cut it super simply placed it where it needed to go And then use a little bit of hot glue just to secure that down And I went all the way around the letter just making sure to offset some of the wood pieces So you get a lot of visual interest and it makes it almost look like a plank Piece of wood and when you're all finished you get this bold typographic letter Next up is this sort of Scandinavian inspired magazine holder And I just used some felt glue scissors and a pen So I started off by cutting an eight and a half by eleven piece of wool felt from Michaels Keep in mind. This was only 25 cents so inexpensive And I got it in this color because thought it looked very luxe in this dark gray color And I folded it into thirds and you use a little bit of fabric glue it to glue each time I folded it over so I folded it to the center and then one more time Into thirds and you're actually going to use one full sheet to create one magazine wrap So once that's all done You can place it under a book to dry and then you're going to create a second one And then just glue the ends together and this will be hidden on the backside So don't worry about that and then once that's all dry as well You can lay your magazine over the top of it wrap it up in the actual little wrap Kind of fasten it shut with a little pin at the top and the next project We're creating kind of plays off of the last one We just did which is a wall wool pocket which you could put like remotes and little flowers like this Whatever you please and all you're going to need for this is some more of those eight and half by eleven sheets of wool fabric And I'm just using a bit of fabric glue to just carefully go around the edge But I only did it about three quarters of the way on to the sides that way when I sandwiched the two pieces of wool together You can actually fold back that top portion and kind of make it look like a pocket And I just glued that down as well And then when you're all done and it's all dry You can just use a couple of pins just tack it into the wall or whatever you please to do so and it just has This really pretty effect Next up is this little eucalyptus wall hanging and I used a dowel some dried eucalyptus scissors and string I ended up not going with the paint So what you're going to start off by doing is on the end of your eucalyptus piece You're going to use some of your white string just to wrap the end of it You can just do a simple knot if you want to but I just decided to wrap the whole end just to make it look a little bit More finished It's super simple and easy and then once you get to the ending piece there Just make sure to tie off the string so that the eucalyptus of course hangs up But it's pretty lightweight anyway, so you don't have to worry about that And then I went ahead and just cut a generous piece of string just so when I went to go tie on later I had a various lengths and I did it for all the pieces of eucalyptus I wanted to use and you can really add as much as you want You can make it super full or you can make it very sparse like mine I decided added a more minimal effect But if you wanted to look a little bit more full feel free to do that as well But I just laid it across my coffee table and just made sure that the length of it was nice You could sort of adjust it as you go as you tie the knots I just wanted the links to vary as well Just so it kind of gave a little bit of visual interest to the eye and then when you're all complete This is what it looks like I thought this geometric yarn pillow turned out amazing and I used some yarn a pillowcase scissors glue a pen and a ruler And all you have to start off by doing is laying out your pillowcase and using your ruler just to create some various Geometric shapes. There was no rhyme or reason at all to the shapes. I was creating. I just used my ruler Put it down wherever it landed I created a line and then connected the line to a new line to sort of create geometric shapes all around the pillow So you could really do whatever you want or you can create like your very own motif or your very own design if you please But I just wanted something very random and then what I did was lay small sections of fabric glue down that way I could use my yarn and I started off by just cutting every single piece of yarn into the length that it needed to be in But then I realized you can just squiggle it back and forth and you'll see what I mean by that in a second If you're like, what does that even mean? You can sort of just take your yarn and then just pull it back and forth without needing to actually cut it And I did cut it every now and then just so I could adjust where the yarn was But once I had that full little section filled in or the lock the piece I wanted to fill in I went on to the next portion So that's what I did to this next section here I think on this one I actually cut each piece just so it looked a little bit nicer and cleaner because it was a more triangular shape And then I did it down at the bottom too I just wanted to create very geometric looking pieces and I also Framed those sections and a little bit of yarn so the edges didn't look frayed and that finished off The pillowcase just let it dry stuff it with a pillow insert and you are good to go So that kind of wraps up today's video. I hope that you guys really enjoyed those projects I thought they were amazing, but like of course like I did them so yeah, they're amazing But I think you guys are really going to love them too You can definitely interpret them in your own way and make them match your own personal decor your home decor Whatever it might be think there's a lot of opportunity with these projects. I think my favorite has to be that wooden letter I just thought it was so cool It's such a huge focal point too and whenever I go to people's houses and I love their house I always find that they have one large like typographic element in their house that always makes me love it for some reason I just love a big bold letter somewhere So that one for me just absolutely did it and it's so affordable too I think it cost me like less than $10 to create that piece and I do want to thank audible so much for sponsoring today's video again The link is below it's audible comm slash lone fox and you're gonna get a 30-day free trial and one free audio book Which is amazing 100% free so you might as well just go head over and sign up and start listening to an audio book before jumping out of today's video I do want to mention you guys we are nominated for a shorty award Which is insane like there's still time to vote.
