Wow! Love the ruffles, and it looks pretty easy to. Good work!

Love this episode, BIG FAN OF NEW YORK COUTURE!!!, so all you haters stop hatin' because your not as talented as Oscar de la Renta or any other fashion designer, they had to start somewhere t just like you did!

i will go the prom with you ;)

thats sosweet im so going to make me one but i hav a question can u make a girl nightmare before christmas outfit i would so like it itwould make my day

Hi guys I just want to say that I am a big fan.!!! I've been making stuff for years since I was about 7 or 8!! i wanted to know if there are any sites for me to sell my stuff that you recomend. thanks guys!!!! Rock On!!!!!!

Hi, I just found this site thr IndyMogul.com. Wonderful, easy to read, decent enough layout, easy to navigate...I don't see a place for a general request (maybe the forum?). How about...shoes? I have a patchwork of information collected about making shoes from my research. I understand people use to have a costume wood mold of their foot made by travelling artisans (long ago). I seen self contain kits for shoes. I been to Pennsic War and seen vendors offering 'historical-ish' custome made suade shoes by using duct tape to make a pattern. I've seen the 'super sewing machines' designed for stiching leather tops to soles. I know companies like Goodyear ('down the street' from me) offer soles for shoes (other than tires). I seen foam rubber materials (used as prop weapons) that looks, feels and with weight similar to rubber soles. How do I do it? Where do I start? I don't have +100.00 everytiem I need to replace my Doc Martins. Help me in finding resources so that I can make my very own custom "Professor Martin" boots. How do I put it together? Stitching vs adhesives or a mix of the two? Advice on forcing leather needles thur thick leather or is that Too much effort for the result? Where can I find that 'ultra light weight' low density foam that's popular today in some running shoes? Where do I find that 'beige' rubber sole that seems popular on 'skater shoes' or Docs? What type of threading should I use in order to take the abuse (wet, salty, dry, hot, humid cleveland weather) of being part of a shoe? I have access to: leather needles leather punch split leather and suade (I and some friends are in the SCA...medieval intersts hobbiest) thick leather 1/4... 'shoe grade' or 'armour grade' as some calls it. artificial sinew fibers What I like to use: Low density soles or.... 'beige' rubber soles or.... 'sticky' rubber soles, in black (for best traction) What I need to know: Where can I get such materials listed above. How do I mate the upper to the commercially bought soles. Adheisive? My "fasthions sense" (or lack of): Basic black shoes...no one's freaking lable nor 'swooooosh'. I'm cool with buckles, silvers, hardware, etc. I just don't want some 'out of place' symbol on my shoes (the Doc logo is more of a stamped-in mark on the leather on some of their shoes, for those who never seen a pair.) that messes up the look. Or..... How do I re-sole old shoes or boots with above mentioned materials when I don't have access to really heavy industrial sewing machines? thank you

I am soooo inlove with the ruffle. I bellydance and would absolutely LOVE to make one of these and wear it during a performance... How wild would that be!

Hey, Threadheads! I love the ruffle vest you did, but it would be hard for me to try sewing it without a machine. I might buy a new one, so I want to ask: Could you guys say which sewing machines are decent and cheap?

This is officially my new favorite site. I love all you do and it is so inspiring!! I look at everything with new eyes now......"hmmmm how can I alter that?" Thanks!

Crazy Kool... I Love It.. i got some ideas .... thanks.. YOUR GUYS ROCK

It was really great to get a taste of what Fashion Week is like without having to actually go. Thanks, Threadheads!

sweet episode, nice change of pace. You guys must be loving it in NY!!! Love your hat girl; )

I love this ruffle vest idea! You know, there is a lot of interest and excitement in the "cosplay" area for anime and comics. You guys should visit a convention! There are a ton of DIY outfits running amuck, and if you featured an easy tutorial about school girls, or something simple like Sailor Moon, you would have people blessing your very existance. Up for the challenge? By the way, last weeks Corset tutorial is amazing! I'm currently working on that project and I've always considered myself terrible at sewing! It's almost done and I am going to make more for friends! :]

Hey prom is comming up! I want to have a totally fabulous dress but i don't want to spend a gagillion $$$$$ either! HELP!!!

Is that Brett Pettis? The guy tat makes stuff at Make at 1:55

awww thanks, rob and corrine, so much! i love your version of the DIY - really smart modifications! and great episode, as usual!

The ruffle vest Corinne made is stunning. Beautiful work, girl. Love, love the version you did. Big collars, high necks- all good. Sadly, fur is EVERYWHERE in the fashion world, and we need to put the message out there that it is unacceptable. Even faux fur is subtly communicating that it is okay to use animals as fashion. People seeing you do not know it is faux, so I say we make a statement by not using ANY fur. Faux or real, it is unacceptable, TACKY and uber-selfish. Truth.

hmm, not a big fan of ruffles but I know someone who is... GIFT IDEA!!!!

Awesome! And I know just the pants to use for that tutorial too...Thanks guys! Now come on guys! I've heard a lot of smack against the runway shows here on the comments! Designers are just DIYers who get paid more. It's only when corporate and fashion editors gets a hold of the design does it turn into this vain selfish greedy thing. ps...no designer in their right mind would use real fur in their designs. Not in our green society. I'm positive it was all faux. Meanwhile, there is limits on how much fur is too much. Pack of zebra people, too much...full lenght fur coat...maybe for your grandma. A little faux fur around the collar...just right.

Hey, it's Bre Pettis! Iguess he's with Etsy now. No more weekend projects:(

I'm sorry but DIY does not mean tacky and that's how most of the looks on New York Couture looked. They looked like streetwalkers from head to toe. Just my honest opinion.

I just wanted to show off that I have a cool picture next to my comments -- and soon all of you will be able to, too.

in a episode could you have someone teach us how to sketch our fashion and then you sew it making it come to life! or give us some tips on thrift store shopping! help us understand more about fashion, please! go DIY! YA!

COULD YOU PLEASE TEACH HOW TO UNDERSTand sewing PATTERNS!

I'm not too big a fan of the fashion show...I did however like the ruffles :)

LOVE THE RUFFLES!!!! I want to try "cute"ing up some suspenders like that... BTY: Watching the NY Couture show reminded me...I rented the Breakin' Trilogy online and they sent me the 3rd movie first, Beat Street (which I have never seen, no Detron or Special K). So inspirational! PLEASE note that a Old Skool Hip Hop Show should be done soon! (Block color sweaters, mismatch earrings, airbrushing, custom Pumas with the phat laces, etc. etc.) U2Rok!BD

Hmmmm...I can't really say I liked this eppy. %-(

Perfect! I was wondering what to do with that old pair of pants...

A little slow in the beginning with the fashion shows, but that ruffle vest is so cool! I may have to make that for my girlfriend, another great episode threadheads, see you next week!

that new york couture... not couture... maybe some real fashion knock offs?! that would be tizite

That was not my fave episode. Was that Zebra girl picking her wedgie?

i don't like this ep :S

cool ruffle vest.. btw.. i'm new here at threadbangers.com.. and i'm lovin' it.. btw.. i wish you guys can teach me on how to turn a crewneck shirt into a v-neck shirt.. because i want a v-neck shirt so badly.. but i'm kinda fat for those v-neck shirts store sells.. thank u so much in advance if you do dis for me.. love your show.. more good luck.. mwahugz..

PS - I love Rebel and the ruffly thing.

I love you guys so much, but PLEASE NEVER FEATURE CATWALK FASHION AGAIN!! It's the very reason I prefer your videos instead.

MALAN!!!!!! He's such a sweetie on "The Malan Show." You were not at the Kors show??? Shut. Up. Gee, CassieK's stuff seems like the old skool 1984 looks. (In a good way.) And yay, ruffledy stuff. Paging Christian Siriano!

the fashion show was very punkie, which is not my style by the way. i thought the ruffles was a unique idea. and it is defiently not cool to wear a ton of fur.
