Jan. 26th, 2021 08:53 amI'm still working away at my Peppermint Bustle. It's almost done -- I'm not super happy with how the sleeves fit, but I don't feel like going off in search of more fabric to redo them, so it will have to just be fine as is. Today, I'm hoping to make some velvet bows to go on the shoulder, and then go to Joanns and find some additional ribbon and trim to match my existing stuff, since I wound up running out. Whoops. But other than the bows, I just need to bind/trim the bodice hem, put some bows on the sides of the skirts, and make or decorate a hat. I'm kind of hoping that I have a hat blank I can decorate, but tbh, I don't think I have anything 1880s shaped.
On the plus side, if I have to make a hat, that is what this week's vlog will mostly be filled with, and then I can do a separate video on getting dressed/the final reveal.
Youtube-wise, things are going quite well. In the last 1.5 months, I've gained close to 10k subscribers, and I'm now able to make actual money from youtube. When my roommate decides to move out, I won't have to replace her, and until then, it will pretty much all be able to go into my savings. When I got my Dec youtube payout last week, I literally put $1000 of it directly into my savings, which was such an amazing feeling. I know it won't be that often that I get videos that perform so well, but my corset video has over 115k views (and a super high cpm, which means I make actual money from it), my Bridgerton video has about 95k views (though a super low cpm, so I really don't make much money from that), and my plus size costuming video is over 30k views at this point, I think.
I also launched a Patreon about 2.5 weeks ago, and I have 10 patrons now! It feels both really cool and really awkward that people actually want to support me in this way, but I'll take it! My next step is looking into PO boxes, because I've had a few people ask. For some reason, that just feels like something only fancy people have.
