Yay!!! Thank you so much for doing an episode on embroidery! I've been wanting to embroider a pattern on the skirt of a dress I'm making, so this is perfect!

Hooray for the Austin DIY scene - one of the main reasons I love love love living here. Jenny Hart rocks, and I love seeing Parts & Labour highlighted. Fantastic! Come back to Austin soon! :)

Aww, it's good to see some new updates on this site! You can't live on "SH*TBYHILLARY" forever. I'm so hyped up for the Wednesday specials, because seriously, you're right, you cannot wait a week checking the site for updates. (It makes you look a bit pathetic. *COUGH*)
P.S. Corinne, I liked your shawl (at least that's what I think it is?) Very classy.
hey...I love your site and videos...but there are too few videos on how to make diy clothes for men...I was hoping that you could show us how to make cool stuff for men...
DON"T USE CARBON PAPER TO TRANSFER A DESIGN!!! It will RUIN your fabric. Use Saral, a brand name, you can get it at craft or art stores, which is designed to be used on fabric. You can also get a hot iron transfer pencil at craft or fabric stores. Then you can trace a pattern or draw your own. Just remember that whatever you draw will be reversed when you iron it on to the fabric. For really great embroidery check out the Embroidery Guild of America site.
The blue, chalky carbon paper is the bad stuff. What I have is some really great, graphite-based carbon paper. It won't rub off where you don't want it, and will stay where you do want it! :D But I agree, the blue stuff is awful. Check my site for it! xo

Great site, great episode! I have some embroidery floss around here somewhere...I use it to make braclets...but I may get around to hand embroidering stuff once I come up with a cool design.
Meanwhile, here's a few suggestions for the winter wear episodes. How about DIY mittens? Or, let's get crazy and make a nice warm coat (you know, something warmer than a hoodie?)
Finally, as a new member, I'd like to say thanks for this site. I graduated college with a degree in fashion design, but I have a 'real' job to pay the bills. Until I found you guys, I had very little motivation to sew. Now I'm encouraged that with a little hard work, I could actually make a real living off my dream. Thanks!
Aahh! I need help @.@
I need to make a costume that looks like Altair's from Assassin's Creed for a video I have to make for a contest. Yeah. Exactly. So, I can make the weapons, but the rest I'm clueless on. I don't even know how to sew :(
I have only a few days to put the costume together, another few days to make the video, another couple to edit, and then I have to spend the next month or so promoting it as much as possible. Can anyone help with the costume? If you Google Assassins Creed Altair, you'll see the character I'm talking about. I have a large detailed image if someone can contact me and help out. My e-mail address is: thundergod@epix.net. I really appreciate any help you guys can give!
Hiya! Not really related to the topic but does anyone know what's the music in the end? I like it. :)
However I've just bought a brand new sewing machine and it can also do embroidery. I think I wil try it. ;)
hey my cousins are all different and i took the homemade pledge and i have no clue wat to do. i want to make it myself and one is a sports guy, another is a punk princess, and the other is wanting to do criminal investigation when she gos to colleg and so ....HELP!!!!
Love the show! I just got my own sewing machine, and I'm making clothes like crazy! One thing that I can't find patterns for (or even for crochet or knitting) is the pageboy hat. Any tips?

love seeing that threadbangers isn't just for the tweens...Diying is for every age. I would love for you guys to check out my new book
Closet Control. It is for the super chared A.D.D person that just doesn't have the time for a craft project but is clever enough with a pair of scissors, bottle of dye and a washing machine to bring their fashion besty's to new utopia....hey..why not use me on an episode...do you ever come to Hollywood or should I send my own episode in...
This little fountain is all a' gush with creativity that flows forth

I had no idea how easy it is to embroider. But then again I am a nOOb at these things.

Nice! I just bought a bunch of flour-sack towels (I'm trying not to use so many paper towels! Oh, the waste!) that are in need of designs...
Oh yeah, thought I'd mention that the download for the Tote bag episode doesn't work! And I want to download it! : )
Hey Misskate,
Thanks for the heads up on the Tote bag episode. The file is fixed and ready to be downloaded.

She made it look so easy!
I want to try it I think. I'm a little worried about injuries.
Hiya! Not really related to the topic but does anyone know what's the music in the end? I like it. :)

It's "Truck" by The Octopus Project from their album "Hello Avalanche" (Peek-A-Boo)

Hey thread heads! i think it would be really cool if you could do a show about christmas and how to make decorations an gifts!
btw i love the show!!
Love the show! I just got my own sewing machine, and I'm making clothes like crazy! One thing that I can't find patterns for (or even for crochet or knitting) is the pageboy hat. Any tips?
Another great episode!
Where can I find the Apple skull and crossbones stencil (and the others mentioned)! I can't find it!
there is a thread on the forum called share a stencil...there are a gazillion stencils there. the apple and cross bones one is on page 34...but search through them and i'm sure you will find a bunch you will like. (copy and paste the link below)
