my first pop up in Boston! | mini art market vlog
Hi pals! This week I share how things went at an event I did at the Brighton Bazaar just outside of Boston. I still want to give this one another try, and everything is a learning experience - plus I made a tiny bunny best friend along the way!
Also, for those of you asking, I do in fact have an amazon storefront now so if there's anything about my display you like, I listed everything I've gotten from there!

my best event ever, despite an attempted theft! | Granitecon 2023
I love It!!!!!
@@rauljoel1503 thank you! 🥰
Going through your old videos, can’t believe this was 7 years ago, I legit remember it being, like, only 2 or 3 years ago lol 😂
Oh man, I know! This is wild!
This was the video that introduced me to you, and 2:26 made me realize “I like this person, imma follow for more shenanigans” 😂
@@krysnelson9987 aw!!! Thank you for commenting this - I was like "oh boy, what'd past me do" but then I got to see Frank! Miss that little stinker so much. What a lovely blast from the past. Thanks for sticking around all this time! 🥰🥰🥰
Bravo 🎉
The bunny was very small and it was pretty dark, so you did not see the wee little antlers.
🥹 I love this so much!!
Thanks for the tip on square end of daÿ! I had that weird small tranfer a day later and didn't know why. Just went in to fix the settings.
I woke up in such a panic when I got that smaller deposit,, but thankfully it was an easy answer. (That being said, I still haven't actually adjusted it to a later time, so thanks for the reminder 😅😂)
Decision fatigue is real I think. When I am full up on ears people can have trouble choosing. Also trends are incomprehensible! I make ears with a rainbow fleece inside and put white or black fur outer. One event folks only want black, so I make a bunch for the next market. And then can't give the black ones away, only white ones. Can't win.
I love joblot
Hi. It's me. The problem customer that said the bag wasn't long enough for cross body. It was my bad for not reading the description of the purse. And it was a super easy fix 👍 the bag is still going strong, btw, even with being washed three times! (and air dried because I'm paranoid) ❤❤❤
@@pboplatypus ❤️❤️❤️ I promise it wasn't you! Or even just one person I was thinking of - it's definitely something that gets mentioned at markets every so often 🖤 I absolutely love the adjustment you made to yours, and I'm thinking of changing some things on how I'm currently doing them
yeah they really were too small. you're okay.
You had me at Blucifer 😍💙😈
😁 I figured you'd appreciate that! 🐎
I found these instructions to be awful! It talks about the front short pieces. Wtf does that mean? At the rise . Wtf does that mean? I guess they are referring to the waistband. Then they say attach but don’t say to what. Then the main part of the shorts were very big but the waistband was too small. I guess that’s what happens when you age. I really wanted to learn this but very frustrating
Then it says cut 2 of the waistband but I’m thinking you 4

Jo! This was a pure delight to watch. You are lovely! I got into board games this year and now I want to make a dice tray for myself like yours! Fabulous stuff 😎
Thank you so much!! 🥰
That looks awesome!!❤❤❤ I'm so jalous 😊 sometimes i'll start out with a ballroom dress, end up with a rock / festival- outfit 😂 you never know .. creativity is bless 💪 i love all what you make, you are awesome!! I know many people think the same, but are too lazy too comment😅 big big big ass hug from the Netherlands ! ! !! Keep on going on these cool projects and honest + fun too watch vlogs, you rock 🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶👍👍🫶
Thank you so much!! I agree, very thankful to have a creative brain! Only problem is never having enough hours in the day to do all the ideas I have 😂❤️🤘
Not that you aren't awesome, naturally, but I did love the amount of old man Bert time we got here!
Understandable, he's the bestest lil stinker! It's always like he knows I'm getting to the end of filming and he comes to make an appearance, he's the cutest.
What about using your server on the knits? I think you could do this and might work better. Loved to see your process for creating this.
To be completely transparent, I was gonna use my serger but I had to keep redoing seams and that would've made SO much more work, and then I also would've had to rethread it, which really shouldn't feel like such a road block for me, but some days it sure is! lol Now that I have a gauge for how I like this to fit, I have been on the hunt for more big stripey fabric to make another and I promise I will serge it - and you're right, would probably go a lot smoother! ALSO! Thank you for the laminator care package! What a cool surprise. and also the egg cooker will be absolutely perfect for breakfast sandwiches, I cannot wait to use it - thank you again!! <3!
Hi Jo! Are you planning on vending any events throughout New England over the next few months at all? Would love the chance to check out your merch again! Edit: I’m checking out your other social media accounts to see if any are in my area 😅 the neurodivergence sometimes overwhelms my thought process 😂
Hi! no worries at all lol I am doing all the Concord (NH) Arts Markets in the park for the summer, which are once a month, and I have something called the Wildflower Fest in Milford NH later this month. I might do some other stuff in the Boston area too, but nothing booked yet. Then Granitecon is in September, and Mill No 5 in Lowell MA is usually back to running events by then! I try to post on my IG my upcoming stuff, but I have been very burnt out as far as social media things so I probably haven't been great about it lol
Thank you for the video, you are right the instructions on the website are very short and I feel like if you haven't made a similar project before as a beginner it's difficult with that little instructions. Also mine came out soooo big, I raised the crotch seam (no idea if it's actually called that) by 2.5 inches and also had to take in the waist a lot. They are still quite big and I might do another round of corrections. At least that teaches me fast how to fix issues in sewing as a beginner 😓
Yeah I really like the pockets and fit of the waistband once I honed in on them, but the legs/crotch just seem insane, so I'm gonna try to frankenstein this with some of the other free shorts patterns they have
@@holycrappitsjo Well, I guess patterns often don't work out of the box, but I learn something new with almost every pattern. So yeah I will probably end up doing the same and either alter this pattern to fit or combine it with another pattern.
I’m glad it went well for you and your business! It’s so cool to see the market through another vendor’s eyes! Best of luck for the rest of your market season and I hope to see you at a future event (I need to visit your booth!)💕
thank you! And that's exactly how I felt watching your video from that market - so neat (and so so much rain, lol)! And likewise, good luck, and hopefully see you around! <3!
Hi I wanted to know do I have to sew and glue or can I just glue by itself
The glue is just to help keep the top from sliding down, so kinda just giving a grippy surface to the inside of the top band - using glue in place of the sewing part isn't something I'd recommend because it still needs to stretch
I've been watching a lot of artist alley vlogs and in one of them, he just said that he has been working very hard on adding chill time to his schedule. Oxymoron there. Thought you'd relate.
I can relate to it maybe too much lol
Oof… changing up the size of your selling space sounds really frustrating. The “Lil Mysteries” label sounds cute! ❤ Some others could be: - Pirate’s Loot - Bags of Holding - Mysterious Wares Congratulations on your sales! What a great feeling to want to share your wares. ❤❤❤❤ The heat this year has been brutal. I’m glad you’re making sure to care for you first! Especially with the previous owner. I’ve left places when the boss didn’t have my back. Good for you! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Stay cool 😎
Thank you so much for the suggestions, I extra love Pirate's loot - might have to make a new fun themed box! :D And I've never lived with an air conditioner, because most summers of my life we've had one or two uncomfortable nights of sleep but otherwise it's been manageable - but this past week we finally caved and got a small a/c for our bedroom because the heat has been absolutely unbearable. Very thankful to have it as an option now (currently hiding from the heat and sitting in front of it while I catch up on comments, lol)
I'm glad you have a local group of vendors you get to bond with! There is one here, that I don't usually make much at, but jump to do those events any time I'm available because I just enjoy the person who runs it and the other vendors so much. Mostly all neurodiverent and/or lgbtq so it's a good vibe.
@@bearlybegun4415 I'm trying a new market today that I've heard is a bit more cutthroat, but hopefully that just means the bar is high for the art itself and not the behavior of other folks involved 🥲
Put a Gromit to pull the bag thru
also a great idea!! honestly probably a lot quicker too!
I just started doing craft fairs/local markets too and found your channel while trying to find ideas for display + setup. This video was SO helpful and inspired to me, and now I have to check out Swoon patterns too (they should totally pay you for referrals ;) Anyway, I just wandered back to this video after a binge of your other craft marketing prep videos and it is so comforting to do my sewing and packing prep while you talk about doing your own. Just wanted to say thank you for making excellent videos and give you some nice metrics <3
Aw thank you so much, this was the sweetest comment! 🥰 So glad I could be of some help, and sending you all the luck on your markets! You've got this!🤘🖤
I really love all the fabric combinations for the bags!
Thank you! At first I was like "are these too jazzy?" but then I thought about a.) the rest of my inventory and b.) what made me most excited, and continued on my path 😂
Did you wear your eye patch with your two-piece? How did it do in the water?
So I haven't actually been wearing it, 'cause I just stopped caring if people saw me without my glasses, lol but the few times I did wear it in the pool, it seemed fine! They do make swimsuit specific fabrics, so if it's a concern, I bet you could make a version out of something like that!
I’m so glad I found your channel. I love your organized chaos… it lets me know I’m not alone in this way of thinking lol.
Ooh I like that phrase - organized chaos 😁 thanks for being here! 🥰
@@holycrappitsjo thank you for the videos! Have a wonderful rest of your day
DPI = dots per inch😊
For once, an acronym that makes complete sense 😂 thank you!
lolololol I watched the video on that freakin zipper jig from the company itself, and it did no damn justice to the device. ruclips.net/video/D6rejJPhAfw/видео.html This one is great with close ups. And I 10/10 recommend that sucker. I've used the crap out of mine and it's stood the test of time. The metal ones are cool, but the tips are kind of pointy, and since being impaled isn't on my bucket list...lol....Unless Lauren ever reopens orders for the one she redesigned. I would order that one. No pointy bits.
I'm glad it wasn't just me that watched the first one like 🥲🥲🥲 It really caught me off guard just cause that was from the literal maker of it 😂
Yo, when did you add the Amazon affiliate link?!? Did I miss an announcement? I woulda been using it!
I only just figured it out (maybe? Hopefully?) this week. I made a whole storefront that's linked way down in the description, but figured I'd try to add specific item links when appropriate. Thanks for suggesting it in the first place! 🥰
I so appreciate hearing your internal over thinking and frustration with bizarro curtain guy! Nice to know my brain isn't alone in its functions. lol
I almost took that whole part out cause I wasn't sure if I was overreacting, but I also like hearing how people work through that kinda stuff - so hearing this makes me glad I shared! ❤️
Where you been scoring all that cool vinyl from? That cat bag will go. I always dread cutting the interfacing for some reason, probably because it's not fun to look at while you cut it LOL. Your feelings-totally justified and not over the top at all. Let me know what you think of the Decovil, I've still never used it. Taking too much is always good. Dots per inch :)
Agreed, for some reason the interfacing is always the least exciting to cut, but also has the most effective impact on the project 😂 The decovil is neat, though I've barely used it. Adds the structure without the same kind of bulk as foam/fusible fleece And other than the hoard sharing from friends, I did add the vinyl strips I bought to my Amazon storefront? I just made it so I honestly don't know if I did it right 😅 though! I did check for any vinyl at Swanson's fabric online - if you haven't heard of it, it's a fabric thrift store and it's amazing!
@@holycrappitsjo True, without it we end up with an invertebrate bag lol. Good to know on the decovil, reducing bulk is always a plus. Thanks for the vinyl info, I'll check those out.
WOW! How clever! The glue hack! Thank you 🙏!
You're very welcome! I'd just avoid putting them in the dryer, and machine wash cold, so you don't risk it re melting or sticking to stuff 🖤
Use the blue skirt to print bigfoot and the jackelope.
OOH now we're talkin'! I like it!
It has pockets! Is my new drinking game.
😂😂 that and "only downside is it doesn't have pockets" 😁
Soooo many clothes! Im so impressed at how clean they are! I am hard on clothes in general, and t-shirts become horribly stained very fast.
To be fair, there's a reason I stray away from light colored clothes in general (but shirts especially), and like to have busy, darker prints like plaid for my outer layer 😂 One time I was eating a mint & dark chocolate KitKat in the car on a drive home - I was being *so careful* - but I still somehow COVERED that big teal circle skirt in almost black chocolate 😅 it was a miracle it survived, I thought for sure I ruined it
I’m excited for the possibilities of that Frankenstein pairing - the red stripe plus blue (denim look?) bottom felt very One Piece to me immediately.
Ooh I haven't watched any of the One Piece stuff, but it does feel very pirate coded now that I think about it, and I'm very into this vibe 😁🖤
I need to see the Sally and teal when it's finished.
🫡 I'm actually (hopefully) gonna sew those dresses tomorrow, if I get the day to myself! 🥰
@@holycrappitsjo 👍 Nice!
I love your style 😆 "we're gonna have to rip the whole fuckin thing out" 🤣 unfortunately I don't think this technique will work for the skirt I have b/c it's not stretchy material, but your approach is so refreshing!! You go girl!! 😃👍
Thank you so much! I'm actually hoping to redo this project soon, this was so long ago 😅
Hey Jo! The outdoor setup looks rad! I know you know i have followed you for a long time but wanted to say you have grown so much over the years, both personally and professionally and am so glad you have taken us along with you. I too, along with that little old lady, am so proud of you!
Aww Jeannette 🥺 thank you for being here, it means a lot! 🥰❤️
Thanks for your help. It’s funny, I’m actually doing this to my battle jacket too. It’s way too hot to wear sleeves at concerts! This is gonna be epic. I’m using zippers tho on my denim jacket. :) by the way I hope you’re still getting your derp on 6 years later :p xD
Derpy as ever 😂
Swoon has some cute patterns. STILL love that Dolly bag. I bought the Sydney to try out. The outdoor setup looked good. Was that a JD? We have an Oliver, New Holland and a Kubota. I didn't even know some markets make you have insurance. Chains with dowels was ingenious for hanging space.
Yep, it's a JD - just a lil guy for doing snow cleanup and hauling firewood up to the house. My partner has a secondhand Kubota excavator and a lil New Holland skid steer - I call them his real life Lego vehicles 😂 And yeah, it's always the most expensive markets that make you get the insurance too 🫠
for not handling the heat well, I've seen some people make blankets with pockets lined with freezer packs. making a little throw blanket sized thing might make doing events outside on hot days more bearable. bad news is that it's a whole other thing you gotta carry with you tho.
also you did great and your setup looks cool and I'm glad that market went well for you
Omg you just triggered a memory! I remember when I was like 12, my dad was doing some Earth day event dressed as Arbor Bear (I don't think that's really a thing outside of the company he worked for 😅) and my mom added terrycloth pockets to the inside of a mesh safety vest and tucked ice packs in those. The blanket idea is also great - maybe I can just stuff a small one in my lunch cooler! Thank you for the suggestion When I work the beer tent, I sometimes bring a bandana that I can dunk in the ice water chilling the cans and put it around my neck. Helps a ton!
I was looking this up because I have the exact same tights and the exact same problem 😅 so this feels like fate. The only issue is I don't have a sewing machine - do you think I could do this with handsewing or would it cause problems with the fabric in your opinion? Thanks so much for this tutorial regardless!!
I've never tried sewing something stretchy by hand, but there is something called a herringbone stitch that supposedly works - if you do end up trying it, let me know how it goes! Good luck!
