Welcome to my youtube channel. Who am I? Great question I'm Babs Rudlin a knitting, sewing, crochet and quilting enthusiast and designer. I create patterns and tutorials, teach and write e-books. I have also been featured in multiple knitting and crochet magazines and founded yarnpeople in 2017.
I began playing with yarn, fabric and threads back when I was around 5 (a lifetime ago) and have been looking for a way to combine earning a living with my love for creation. Having realised how poorly different folk are represented within the industry I launched yarnpeople to showcase the talent within BIPOC, disabled and LGBTQ+ communities.
Tutorials, reviews, free patterns and paid for eBooks can be found over at babsgetscrafty.com my personal crafting website.
Stay safe,
Babs Rudlin

This is a simple and fast way to get started on a long width project. No counting for the yarn needed, as with a long tail cast on. Just your thumb a needle and some yarn. This cast on is also sometimes known as the e loop as that is the shape of the yarn before you slide it onto the right hand needle. What is the advantage of casting on with the Thumb Cast On method? It creates a stretchy cast...
Waffle Stitch - Crochet Stitch of the Week
Переглядів 1953 роки тому
This stitch has been on my todo list for ages. It is full of memories of sleep overs at my Grandparents house when I was a child, back in the 70's. The blanket was a yellow and lime green combination, very typical of the decade. This is a stitch with a lot of texture and warmth, although the original was a scratchy blanket with starched sheets beneath which did little to provide a comfortable n...
Magic Circle Knitting 🧶
Переглядів 3103 роки тому
For those new to using a circular needle they can feel quite intimidating. A great long cable just hanging around getting in the way. How to work the stitches while it ends up feeling like you're wrangling an octopus? The technique which makes this ‘magic’ is something I have always done naturally, yet I have seen classes on this method alone costing $30… Used in my FREE #springshawlkal2021 you...

Foundation Row Stitch of the Week
Переглядів 1953 роки тому
Once I discovered that you could create a foundation row not just a chain when you begin a project. Officially my mind was blown! This is a really simple process and it gets a new project up and running far faster and without the fiddly faffing with individual chain stitches. If you've never tried it I strongly suggest you give it a go. 🧶Written blog with examples and details of starting chain ...
Buffalo Plaid Crochet Stitch of the Week
Переглядів 6883 роки тому
🧶With Burn's Night on the horizon my mind always turns to tartans and plaid. My American friends refer often to Buffalo Plaid, which is a red, burgundy and black version with larger squares and no thin lines of colour, more normally seen in traditional tartans. 🧶As this is a simpler form I'll start these plaid tutorials with a Buffalo style which is also, handily, perfect for beginners. I will ...

Crabstitch: Crochet Stitch of the Week

Reverse Crochet or Crabstitch borders are a wonderful way of finishing a blanket, scarf or cowl with only a single round of sc (US terms) or dc (UK terms). Reverse Crochet / Crabstitch literally goes against the grain of the natural crochet by being worked in the opposite direction to your standard crochet stitches. 🧶 Detailed written instructions: www.babsgetscrafty.com/post/stitch-of-the-week...

Brilliant foot - clear instructions. Thank you!
Thank you for this detailed information!
This is just what I was looking for! Thank you for posting this. I wanted something small to go around a cell phone bag and this would look super. Again thanks for giving the informations for these cute little hearts.❤
Thank you! You're awesome!
Really wish your hand wasnt in the way
I have a brand new tradition but there isn't a self threader ??
Thank you very much I have never done this wish me luck
Are the sequins 3mm wide? or 4mm or 6mm? Thanks for a reply in advance.
Very informative and easy-to-follow tutorial, thank you so much for posting this!!
Thank you. I needed this video. I kept increasing everything but the tension.
Thank you. I’m glad it’s not just new quilters who make mistakes now and again!! ❤😂
Fabulous! You saved my bacon!
Praise the Lord!!!
A real hero!! Thank you
It will be nice to find a good video showing how to do the corners... Because I master the straight lines but impossible to make neat corners😢
Brilliant!
Genius, thank you!!
18 badges in an envelope... I feel that. Thanks for sharing your tips and tutorial 😊
Hi Babs. Thank you for making this beautiful bow for us. It was a bit hard to follow. Is there any chance you will make another one for us?♥
Why don’t they just make the hole bigger?
Thank you, scarey when you first do it. I had to pop through an extra needle to hold the two stitches but that was more for peace of mind than necessity 😂
this was a horrible tutorial but nice bow I guess
I tried this an it never worked ever
Another help with the curves is to set longer stitches
Доолго говорит не порусски да еще иразмеры не показывает плохо
My needle's eye is a fraction of yours - I can rub the damn thing as long as I want without success, dear _[it's a hell of a trick]_ .
I bought the pattern but not put together like you did! What are the size of your squares?
Yes !! It worked! Thanks so much! From Maryland, USA
The best explanation I have found after many videos I have checked. Thanks a lot! 😃
Thank you!
Doesnt work on small needles
Can you use a regular spool of thread on multfuntional mini sewing machine
Great tyvm
Wow I have struggled for years threading a needle. Do you have a tip for threading a needle on a sewing machine
Doesn’t work
I'm bleeding but nope still unsuccessful
I bought tthis feet but when I was sewing, it not ruffle at all. What is wrong step. ? 😢
Definitely will give it a try, it looks so simple, granted she was using a larger needle, so the eye was larger.
It worked! Took some practice
It doesn’t work!
Cant really see what shes doing and she talks too much .
Would like to see you do this with a very small eye needle!
That is a huge eye in that needle.
The bug at 2:00 to the bottom left 💀
Thank you
Awful! This is a very visible, not blind, hemline. Please try this on some thick bulky fabric.
Much thanks for this video. Please is there any way to adapt these on an industrial sewing machine?
Nope didn’t work. Had a heck of a time just trying to wrap the thread around my hand then proceeded to scratch my hand up with the needle. Maybe I’ll keep trying??
Great video. Thank you!
Button wheel setting is most important every angle than showing sewing .
