      i LOVE the wrap thing! i'm just a beginner sewer, and i'm so damn excited about this site! :D:D seriously... i started sewing a few years ago, but left it with some boring patterns... until these past couple months, i made a flared mini skirt with dupioni silk. its sooo gorgeous (but sheesh! i washed it, and the silk changed its texture) right now i'm making a slipcover for this $6 ottoman i found in a thrift store. so far, its going ok, the suede-like material is pretty easy to work with, and i plan to make some curtains for my livingroom with this old cotton duvet cover i have.

      is this website actually based on some kinda tv show?

      oh! look, i can start up an account here!

      i'm doin that right now :P

      That's an awesome shrug XD I really love it. Unfortunately the sewing machine crashed. EEP.

      Anyway,
      So I've got my birthday coming up, and I'm having a top-hat themed party. I've got a white bridal top hat, and I was wondering if you could give me some ideas of how to jazz it up a little with some decorations!

      Thanks [:
      Really wish this show was on in Australia!

      (yes,I know my english s**ks)

    • colette wrote on May 20, 7:30 pm

      i made the shrug thing using the zigzag stitch on a regular sewing machine cuz i dont have a serger....it worked fine but to get the serged look i went over every line at least twice.

    • sokool14 wrote on May 19, 9:45 pm

      i loved that girls hair! it was totally awesome!

    • Ramonafox wrote on May 19, 10:24 am

      that was really rad as usual, but where are you guys while your taping the show? do you have a new threadheads warehouse? anyways great as always! you guys rock!

    • Shanna (guest) wrote on May 19, 1:07 am

      Praise Threadbanger I finally have something to do with all those icky turtlenecks.

    • Elle wrote on May 18, 9:22 pm

      Thanks for the tutorial. I will definitely be attempting that shrug thingy. Also, I really liked the top that inspired Corinne's top, and the snazzy ruffle Corinne added.

      Even though a lot of people are serger-less, I would like to 3rd the motion for a serger episode, AND could you tell us how to "lock knits" on a regular sewing machine?? I know its a lot to ask, but I have high hopes!

    • stashy (guest) wrote on May 18, 4:50 pm

      Well, whatever you guys changed on this website it has now become impossible for me to watch the videos. Thanks

    • Lindsey (guest) wrote on May 22, 5:08 pm

      What kinds of changes would you like to see on the site? Any suggestions that would make it easier? Email us at tips@threadbanger.com. Thanks!

    • osita5673 wrote on May 18, 1:54 pm

      Where to buy a serger please! i love that shirt...thing! but what else could i make with a serger??

      i think a serger episode is in order.

    • sewthernbelle wrote on May 18, 1:04 pm

      Yay! I'm not the only one who uses the word 'thingy' in a sentence!

      And I'll say it once and I'll say it again, SERGER TUTORIAL PLEASE!!! Especially of how to thread the darn thing.

    • CzarWars wrote on May 18, 2:15 am

      WOW...what a great show!!! That Anastazia Lousie of Bad Unkl Sista needs to stay out of the sun, she burns easily, but what a fun piece on her and her comapny. So is that a permanent new set for you guys!?!? It's like a workshop/garage type thing, and there's so many things in the background that I know are little personal nods to past shows and articles framed and such, maybe you can pist up stills of the set on the Threasbanger blog or something. So does this mean no more green screen in your future? You're both doing awesome!!! -Steve C

    • artcrazed wrote on May 18, 1:06 am

      First off, I loved this show! If a had a serger I would make mine just like that!

      As you were showing off that AWESOME shrug of yours I saw in the background the outfit with white skirt, red top, and dark green jacket. I really like it. If you made the jacket I'd LOVE to find out how. or if you didn't, is there someway you can show me something similar? maybe even how to jazz up an old jacket? I have a lot of those around that I don't wear....

      That would be so cool. :D I hope to see it!
      Keep up the GREAT vids!

    • MandyKayy wrote on May 17, 10:59 pm

      Hey guys!

      And thanks so much for showing us how to make that shrug. Im deff. gonna make one with hopefully my own twist XD

      And Im not sure if you meant me when you said MaryKayy. cuz I said how much i liked the shrug and didnt see a Marykayy

      I tried making a tank top from an old t-shirt by watching one of your episodes. but it keeps shriveling at the ends. how do i make one to where it doesn't shrivel?

    • G. (guest) wrote on May 16, 1:58 pm

      Hey, Rob and Corinne! Lovely episode and I also love the shrug wrap thingy. I love the show and everything.
      I'm quite sure this isn't the place to ask this, but...
      I saw some cool charms/jewellery on the internet, made of soda cans, which have smooth edges and look REALLY lovely. As I couldn't find any tutorials on how to make these, I'm really hoping You could help me. I would LOVE an episode on making these.
      I also found a person selling those, so you could see what I mean.
      http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5054199
      Here they are. And thanks, even if You can't make an episode of these.
      Love, G. :)

      wooow
      thats so awsome

      heyyy good news

      ur also popular here in México!


    • Grey Squirrel wrote on May 16, 12:28 pm

      Too bad, I really liked that top, but no serger....I just got an old sewing machine...don't see a serger anytime soon, just too expensive!

    • KiraVonConcrete wrote on May 16, 1:44 pm

      Not to be such a hawker, but check out Janome Magnolia 7034d serger online. Not too expensive. Also, when Corinne worked w/ knits and sweaters before she got her serger, I think she used a zigzag stitch. It scallops the edges (which looks cool) and locks the knit so it doesn't fray. Not using a serger just means you have to do a bunch of trimming with ye olde scissorees... don't give up! Make your shrug thingy!

    • corinneleigh (guest) wrote on May 16, 7:17 pm

      yes, like kira said...just use a zigzag stitch and lots of trimming. that was my method for a looooong time. xoxox c

    • modmod wrote on May 23, 11:08 pm

      I saw a Brother Serger on Amazon.com for only 250.00....may not be the greatest, but with my crappy skills i don't need anything fancy schmancy!!!

    • purpli_me wrote on June 10, 4:50 pm

      i had an idea!
      if u don`t have a serger. then maybe you can use a zigzag stitch. put the length between stitches at point five cm. and the rest at your own specifications(ie. zigzag width...)
      do the same as if you had a serger, but all you would ahve to do would be cut the fabric before to your alterations instead.
      technically it would work, but it wouldn`t be exactly the same as if you used a serger...

      hopefully helpfull--- Purpli_me**

    • beatriz gonzalez wrote on May 16, 12:20 pm

      who made that awasome shirt that you show at the end?
