Valentine's Day! Corsets, Boxers, Unmentionables, Thread Heads

with the eye holes in all how do you get them off pieces of clotheing?

Thank You so much for making this video I learn something new... L=

This is most likely a very silly question ... and as this video is pretty old, I'm a bit hesitant to ask. Please don't knife me. What happens to the stencils after the video ages? Do they vanish forever never to be seen again? I have looked all up and down the extras page and have been unable to locate them. Am I blind or have they gone into the great nothingness?

What are the mesurments you need i can't seem to find them. Please help me.

1st timer and I loveit found the corset and the boxers Thank

OMGGGGGGGG i have been searching for and easy to do corset for eva and i love yours!!!!!!!!!!!!!!thought i think you coulda done the skeletal ribcage on the out side to....anyway i love it and im makeing it tomarrow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOOOVEE YYYYAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just ran upon your site a couple days ago...Love it ! Can't wait to try the screen printing.

luved your show! i watched it a few times and quickly picked up the patterns! My corset turned out great! Thanx :D

I love your ideas!!! PLEASE keep them coming!

I have the same sweater, Corrine! Only mine is black and teal. I love those things :)

Damn! Ya'll look supafly in that Valentine's Episode. Only ya'll could pull that one off.

really love this site

i loved this video and i'm planning on making the corset

loved this eppisode!!

I'VE already done my pattern... I used http://www.elizabethancostume.net/custompat/ corset measurement maker... and compare qui te instructions written here in theblog...

I think you should do an episode on sketching your creation ans then making it come to life. Maybe gert a really good sketch artist on the show and show us different ways to draw faces and body types, and hands, please help! i have got so many books but i need someone to show me how not in a book, i am a visual learner, please help!

I would love to do all of thses.. but i dont have a sewing machine anymore :(

sheesh looks like a lot of people are wearing their 'complainy' pants. Lighten up! Valentine's Day is fun, threadbanger is fun, cripes!

i love the sweet Valentine's Day messages. i wish i weren't a jerk and remembered to put a request in. i heart threadbanger!!!!!

Rob you looked like Flava-Flav minus the giant clock around his neck, whats up w/ that? Oh and the scrolling messages on the bottom are VERY DISTRACTING!!! This is not CNN, if you're going to scroll anything, scroll tips that accompany the project you're working on, otherwise its an eyesore and a turn off to try and focus on an already complicated project but then to try and not focus on scrolling text...bad idea! Otherwise, you guys rock...see you in LA.

Congrats Matthew! Happy Sewing. Great to see you've been inspired by these guys as many of us have. It seems like they have really made you find your purpose....and it is great to hear more guys sewing. Good work!

You guys just reminded me how much you inspired me that first time I came across your wonderful show. Everytime I watch start itching to sew again! Thank you and 'Happy Valentines!'

You know how much I love you guys. But really, I wish you would have referred to it as a "corset-style top" or something. In my opinion even those lace up things with plastic boning are still just corset style bustiers. A real, modern corset has steel boning. A corset shapes your waist..not just covers what's there but actually gives you a more defined waist. I think what you guys did is really cute, but just because it laces up does not a corset make. Sorry to be nitpicky but it's always been one of my pet peeves, and especially after working in a store that sells real, steel-boned corsets, it's frustrating to constantly explain the difference to people. (Also because of the price difference...real corsets are usually fairly pricey because there's a lot that goes into the construction. I know a trained seamstress/costumer/corset who doesn't even make them herself. I know that she CAN but she hates to because it's so time-consuming.)

OHH YES FINALLY A CORSET HOW-TO AAAH I CAN'T EVEN PUT IN WORDS HOW EXCITED I AM ABOUT THIS... AAAH Although I am a kind of Valentine's Grinch this has to be the best present ever!!!

Boxers are AWESOME - though it's freezing in New England. Any chance you can provide us with some kind of tutorial for how to make some super cozy, WARM pajama bottoms out of something I have laying around?

you guys make me happy I want to give you a big hug

i just started watching your show and i watched the pilot episode> well when he spray painted that shirt did he use spray paint and if he did wouldn't it rub off in the washer

I liked the inside of the corset better than the plad by far.

Great show! Althought it would be great if there were some episodes on stuff to make for pets!

Great show! I love you guys, you have such fantastic ideas. I think it would be great if you did a how-to on dip-dyeing, since that seems to be 'trendy.' I've been wanting to do it for a while on something, but i don't know how! Keep making your fantastic show!

alright, so with great anticipation, my husband and i watched the announcement of the janome sewing machine winner. much to our dismay, we didn't win it, but my daughter's clip from our video made the episode. it's the black and white video of the 4 year old saying, 'please give us the showing machine'. that was awesome. congrats to matthew for winning.

I was going to make some boxers for the guy, but I didn't wanna have to go out and buy that Simplicity 9958. Due to my procrastinatory (yes, now a word) nature, I may have to wait until his birthday, but now I'll have extra time to sneakily get those measurements and make a shorter, girlier pair for me!

fashion week? Rock on! Please tell me you'll do a tutorial about how to knock off designer designs. That would be great especially for the newbies. Happy V-day or SAG day ya'll...whatever you celebrate!

Really like what your doing, it really gives artist starting out in fashion the chance to see what going on and be apart off it....

Seriously, though. You guys make me so happy.

can anybody tell me how I can upload a photo form my computer (no link) for a new thread without achtment and all that.... =)))

I meant won't, not would

The page would reload after I watched it once! Come on! I have been sitting here for ten minutes, and I have uber fast internet!

zomg, that was awesome AND really helpful... i was totally stressing about V-Day, but now I have some ideas... maybe this will help him forgive me for forgetting his Hannukkah presents. :P

Hey luved it. but can u guys do girl short shorts out of t-shirts. thx

When are you guys going to make a second show during the week? Like How-to-Tuesdays, Halloweeny Wednesdays, or Holly Jolly How-tos? Only one a week isn't enough!

so is this a reversable corset? if it is it is even more cool than i already thought. the rib cage shirt would look cool on the outside.

You guys are my heroes! Will you two be my valentines?

thats awsome guys!!!do u have any ideas about making sth from old sweater or t-shirt??????

The video will not play. I've refreshed the page several times. Any idea what's wrong?

i've totaly been inspired to make a corset. i have heaps of scraps that look like they'll be big enough.. corrine- i have that star shirt!!! but in turquoise! its definatly my favorite ever!

After 20 minutes of refreshing the page, the vid won't load for me...am I the only one?

i didnt really pay attention to the corset part, cause im a guy, but i was cranking that music. those where some sweet toons

thank you for the guy boxers XD please make more eps with guy stufffffffffffffffffffff XD love you both

somebody did the finger stabbing thing!!! YEAH! I was hoping someone would! great tutorials!

Happy Valentines Day EVERYONE! :)

I love you,guys! Happy V-day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the corset pattern was mega cool. if i made that nobody at school would have one, especially if i used a funky pattern.

Great episode! Now I can do boxers, and figure out grommets. YAY! A guy won the sewing machine. That's so cool.

After years of wenching I can tell you, you need to add boning (from the notions wall) to the front of a corset. Put it between the gromits (eyelets) and the front seam line. You wouldn't want to have a "wardrobe malfunction". Also, it is easier to close a turning space if you put it on a straight place in the seam and not at the coroner. Don't eat to many chocolates.

i luv the boxers

congrats dude on the Janome! :) and the corset was beautiful!

yay!! i luv valentines day!! ^_^ great show
