YAY! another halloween episode! WOOT! luv u corinne!!
(p.s., woo! im first! :P)
YARR! That be worth waiting forr, and Verry ARR-tistic!
No seriously, GREAT job. I wanna do the puffy shirt treatment to an everyday blouse!
all I have to say is: I love this site.
Wow that was awesome!
That corset idea was really great, it would look good on other things :)
I think that was uber cute...i think if you took the hat and scarf off...it would just be something cute for a girl to wear.
I wouldn't make this costume, but it gave me some great ideas. Great job!
Also, if you really want to use matching thread instead of dental floss, millinery shops have blocks of wax they run the thread across before sewing. A bees wax candle might be good for that because it's so soft.
This is an awesome costume. I may already have a hat, but this is a great tutorial for making more! Everyone needs a leather tricorn! Thanks Corrine!
fantastic - I really love this site - i have been sewing for many years and have never seen such a creative way to make costumes ...arrrrrrrrrh
That is so cool. Perfect recycling. Just what I was saying to my husband the other day - no one makes their own costume anymore -- I'm glad to see it. We had to make ours when we were kids.
oh muh gawd.
spiffiness.
I
I love that, great work !
kick ass
Hey, I have a suggestion. . . Could you guys make a radical vampire costume for guys?
Please
-Ian
p.s. oh yeah. my school is totaly lame and needs a makeover. I live in Long Beach so itd be really fun to meat you guys.
It looks awesome. :D
If I wasn't lazy I'd make one of these, but... What could I use instead of leather? My mom basically got me into being anti-fur and leather when I was like, 3, and even though it's used already it just wouldn't feel right to use it.
Here's an idea... hit your local fabric store when they've got a sale going and pick up some black naugahide (I'm spelling it wrong! whee!) - it's got that same kind of solid structure, but it's entirely man made. Only problem is it has a white backing, but you could probably dye that or paint it somehow, and really it wouldn't matter on the corset - whatever was showing you could just magic-marker the crap out of. Happy sewing!
Thanks! I've been thinking about this for a few days and I've decided I really do wanna make one of these costumes. :D You've helped a lot.
kick ass
I LOVE the corset! I am definitly going to make one for everyday wear. I am hella excited to do that one project where I can create a body mold so I have somewhere to pin my clothes. Thanks!!
Err... Wasn't this supposed to be a gender neutral costume?
But still if I was a girl I would make/wear it, so, once again, AWESOME! YARRRR!
I just got the heads up for these great halloween videos... wow you guys do an amazing job! You also couldn't of picked a cuter host then Corinne btw.. love the chin dimple!
Way Hott! I'm so gonna try it!!
Awesome!
I love corsets! How can I make a shirt that looks like a corset?
Hahaha, Corinne wizzin' by on that trike was too cute.
I've loved being a Pirate since I was a little girl, but I haven't been one in a while because just like itssxannie says, the cute ones are way expensive! Could this be my first DYI super project? Halloween is just around the corner so I'm super excited for this--off to the Fabric store !!
Though I am Fed Up With PIRATE I loved this Ep!
Great Job Corrine!
God I hope the post works this time..
Awsome costume! I love the video of you riding your bike to the store. Great ideas on the blouse!
I love the fact that you have Threadbanger Dental Floss...where is your on-line store so I can purchase this and other fine select TB merch? FYI...FANTASTIC costume Corinne, great job!!! -Steve C
i love this soooooo much...i'm making one only in pink....thanks for saving me money
This tutorial is made of pirate win! I'm going to make it right now!! Or try...we'll see how long it takes for my brain to die out for the night. :D
Talented and muy sexy. Good job!
I just happened to stumble across the link to this video. I'd never heard of Corinne but she kicks serious butt!! I'm an accomplished seamstress and just finished a pirate costume myself but her ideas are awesome and easy enough for anyone. Go girl!
OMG SOOOO AWESOME...
IM SO GONNA BE A PIRATE FOR HALLOWEEN!!
THANX

I totally love the pirate shirt Miss Corrine...I've got to make one, or two or three!
=) I love it, it looks easy and adorable.

You could use the hat as a three-cornered Patriot hat, too... that'd be AWESOME. Great idea!
