GRACE FRAGA: Chantelle is sewing. So, how--what technique do you use to sew? What kind of
sewing 'cause there's different patterns, right? CHANTELLE TIBBS: Yeah, there's different
patterns. I mean, you could go--right now, I'm just going in and out. It's a basic stitch.
GRACE FRAGA: Okay, let's see. CHANTELLE TIBBS: You're going to want--that's the basic stitch
like that. GRACE FRAGA: Oh, wow! Okay. CHANTELLE TIBBS: Yeah. So, you're going to want to choose
your stitch. Also too, if you want to go by it a little bit faster you can have--'cause
there are different kinds of sewing machines that you can go about getting and might make
your life a lot easier but for the sake of the show I'm just going to hand sew so...
GRACE FRAGA: Well, and it's also--if you don't have a sewing machine then you can just go
ahead and do it this way. CHANTELLE TIBBS: You can do it this way. You'll notice that
I keep--I'm sewing in the middle of the design and I'm keeping a certain amount of distance
from here so we're not sewing too close to the edge. You don't want the edge to come
away from the thread. You want it to actually be what's holding it down there. So, this
is like--it's not so close to the edge. Also too, if you don't want stitching and this
isn't your thing and you're like, "You know what? I'm not going to sew. I don't feel like
it." That's cool too. You can also use fabric glue. There's a number of them that are good
out there. GRACE FRAGA: Really? Where can you buy those? CHANTELLE TIBBS: Same place
you buy the fabric paint. It's just fabric glue. GRACE FRAGA: And how do you apply it?
CHANTELLE TIBBS: You're going to apply it just the same way that you would paper on
top of paper. You're going to put it on the back of here. GRACE FRAGA: Okay. CHANTELLE
TIBBS: And then you're going to out it there. And then you know what? I use a dryer when
I use fabric glue just to make sure that... GRACE FRAGA: they're there. CHANTELLE TIBBS:
Uh-huh. So, again, I'm up on the edge and I normally have a seamstress for this so...
GRACE FRAGA: Yes, which is mom, right? CHANTELLE TIBBS: Yeah, mom and then there's another
girl. There's another girl as well so... GRACE FRAGA: You're doing very well. CHANTELLE TIBBS:
Thank you. But--yeah, so that's--I mean--and you know what I think? I think this color
was a really good choice. I think it's complimenting everything. [OVERLAPPING] GRACE FRAGA: It
really does compliment the orange. CHANTELLE TIBBS: So, yeah, that's how to sew.
