hi everyone I am here today with a
really exciting video and that is
because on Saturday Whitney Sews reached
100,000 subscribers I am so excited I
have been looking forward to this for so
long and I wanted to thank every one of
you for subscribing for watching my
videos for sharing them for clicking
like and commenting and everything else
that you do to support my channel it has
been such an exciting time I started
this channel back in 2009 well I started
the channel before that but that's when
I started posting Whitney Sews content
and the very first video was made for a
school project for my final for video
production to I had to make a video that
showed my style as a director I didn't
really have a style as a director so I
kind of convinced my teacher that
instead I wanted to do a video that
showed how to create your own style and
she said it was okay so I created the
first Whitney Sews video which was a
t-shirt reconstruction I did two
different projects in it and you can
tell that video was really like scripted
and formal and everything because I was
trying to kind of present it as though
it was like a TV show and then as usual
I posted it on YouTube which I did with
all of my class projects and people
liked it I shared it on a t-shirt
reconstruction LiveJournal group that I
was in and everyone liked it so I
decided to make another video the next
week and I just kept making them and
it's been over nine years now and yeah I
posted weekly for over nine years I did
take a couple of short breaks in there
no longer than a month but yeah it's
been a very exciting journey so to
celebrate this I wanted to have a huge
giveaway this is the biggest giveaway
and that I have ever done so I want to
get right into showing you what is
going to be indie giveaway so first off
I did share a sneak peak of some of
these items a little while back but
first up is a set of four rulers from
Arteza these are the square rulers
they are in twelve and a half inches
nine and a half inches six inches and
four and a half inches so I love using
square rulers they are very handy for a
lot of different projects especially
squaring up quilt blocks so these are
really great and by the way I will have
links down below in the description box
so everything that I show that I can
find a link to I will have it down below
so if you want more details on anything
definitely check out those links down
there but yeah so four square rulers from
Arteza these were kindly sent by
the people at Arteza they provided
these for the giveaway which was so very
kind of them they also sent along a six
by twelve inch ruler this is a really
great size I don't have a ruler this
size and I wish I did
but I'm being nice and I'm including
this in the giveaway instead of keeping
it for myself so like I said those were
all sent by our Arteza which was super
nice I'm also including some things that
I purchased myself for the winner and
the first step is the fiskars basic a 45
millimeter rotary cutter I love this
rotary cutter I have one of them myself
in the blue and white design it's a
really just great basic rotary cutter
that I think works for everything so
there is that there is also my favorite
craft clips I use these so much so I
wanted to make sure to send along some
of my favorite supplies so that's why I
bought the rotary cutter the craft clips
a few other things because I want you
all to have the supplies that I love
using on a regular basis and that you
see in some of my videos so this is a
100 craft Clips so handy I use them for
sewing I also use them as chip clips in
the kitchen because you know chip clips
are necessary
but they are really great to have and
useful I also am including the memory
bear pattern that I love using this is
the simplicity it's so easy 2115 I
use this to make all my memory bears
I sell memory bears on the side I have a
separate business where I do that and
I've made tons of them and this is the
patterns that I use for all of them and
to go along with that you of course
cannot make memory bears without the
eyes and nose so I'm including 2 full
sets of eyes and nose for the memory
bears that you make from the pattern
these are the ones that I use for all of
my memory bears they are from Hobby
Lobby and I love them because they are
very reliable I don't have any problems
with the quality the backings are very
strong and once they are snapped
together they are a child safe and will
not come off I love the size of them and
everything like I said the links for
everything is down below in the
description box so check them out there
if you have been looking for eyes and
noses for your memory bears or other
stuffed animal projects i am also
including some thread this is the
Mettler polyester thread I've been using
this a ton lately I bought a huge
quantity of it and I really really liked
the quality of it so I'm passing some
along to the winner I forgot to show
with the rulers there is also some of
the non-slip adhesive that you can add
to the back of your ruler if you're
having trouble of it sliding around
while you're trying to cut with it you
can just add these onto the backing and
they will help your ruler stay in place
better so those were sent by Arteza as
well I also have a few zippers I am
throwing in it's just great to always
have some zippers on hand I got these
for a really good stock up price so I am
including some in the package then also
I am including something handmade
it is the Cheyenne rope bag that I made
a few months back this was a hugely
popular video and I have not actually
carried the bag yet and I thought you
know what instead of this sitting in my
sewing room any longer I'm going to go
ahead and pass it on to the winner of
this giveaway so the Cheyenne rope bag
plus the pattern in case you want to
make your own or if you want to pass the
pattern on to someone else you know will
be in the giveaway I love love love the
fabric of this bag but it is just not
the kind of bag that I really carry I
tend to carry actually a backpack I
carry a ton of stuff around for my kids
and all that and then when I'm not
carrying a backpack I have a little
vintage leather purse that I carry so
I hope the winner gets some use out
of this bag and loves it the last thing
I have to show is something really fun
it's actually a book that my friend
wrote as this book right here it's
called Rook and Shadow by my friend
Angela Marshall she wrote this book um
it took her a few years to write it so
while we were in college together I got
to read the proof of it and then I've
read the finished book a few times and
you may notice that's me on the cover we
did a little photo shoot my last year of
college and it ended up being part of
her cover design so it's just really fun
that I have a book that I am the cover
model of so I have a few copies of the
book so I wanted to give one copy away
there's even a little bookmark and
what's really cool about this is the
cover designs has actually changed now
there is a new cover on the book so this
is one of the limited copies with the
original cover design so not that many
people have this version of the book so
yeah I hope whoever wins this loves are
reading it and yeah it's just even
though it's been a few years it is still
so fun that I am on the cover of a book
that I own
that will never cease to like make me
happy but anyway that is everything that
I have to show for the giveaway I of
course will throw in some more extras I
do that with everything I like to add in
a little extra things while I'm
packaging it up and all of that so I'm
sure there will be more things in the
box when you receive it but that's
everything that I have collected up so
