FAME Duffel Bag, Threadbanger Projects

That has to be the most kick ass duffel bag I've seen to date and probably the best way to upcycle umbrellas! Great tutorial :D

shnazzy! :D

hey and its even waterproof! im fine with the commercials i just use the time to read comments

Hi guys awesome creation but please please whats going on with all these commercials?? a 5-6 minute video is simply too short for an ads break. or for several commercials. used to love your shows but this is annoying.

So so so funny at the b-gining, this seems so simple!

omg!!! ive been wanting to make a duffle bag.because i need somthing to carry my dance wear in when i go to dance class!!! Thanks guys!!! -jilli-o-saurus

you guys make life so much easier! thanx for sharing i'm so gonna go on a cool umbrella hunt and try this!

I love this project. You made making a duffel look so easy. The only reason I never made a duffel is because I thought it would be a pain. Very painless I see and using old umbrellas, genius!! I've got plenty of those in my trunk. Thanks!!!

Corinne, you're a - ma - zzz - ing dancing like this. LOVE IT!

This duffel bag be good idea for travel bag. Do I need to more fabric to make it bigger

I saw a project you can do with the leftover umbrella "skeleton" over at Better Homes and Gardens. In their Halloween section you can make a really creepy chandelier with spider webs and lanterns from broken umbrella frames.Check it out!!!! Now that is using EVERYTHING up!!!!

I love it!! I have that same belt in my closet lol

great episode!

You guys are nuts

that made me really happy

i want to know how to footie pajamas for my bruder and my niece and i want to learn how to make lil baby bumble bee costume for halloween

Thank you so much. Now I know what to do with all those umbrellas my son keeps breaking. I'll make him a duffle. You guys are the greatest. You crack me up and I learn allot too.

Oh!!! you brought back all the memories of Sewing Classes! THis was one of the classes! (without the umbrella part) Yes I'm an 80's kid and Yes I did the fame thing the first time around.

Love the bag and love the episode! Too, too funny! The end especially had me cracking up!!

This is such a great episode! its probs to hard for me but it looks really cool!

Corinne is my friggin' hero. That opening sketch had me rolling! And BTW, you are TOTALLY good enough to make the cut.

Hello Threadheads! I've been watching you for a long time, and this year I'm very excited about your upcoming halloween's special shows! So... I was wondering, can you please please please pretty please explain us how to make some of these: http://www.artofwings.com/feather_gauntlets.htm and of these: http://www.artofwings.com/fairy_crowns1.htm You would make me and lots of my friends very happy! (and I guess some threadheads here too!) Cheers and *snip *snip from Italy

I recently just by random luck came across your website, once I started browsing around I fell in love and became an instant Thread Banger. Love your work Corinne. I was wondering with winter coming up I would love to make my friends some unique scarfs, yes i have a particular one in mind. I would love to have a tutorial on how to make a Junk de Luxe Aki Scarf Hood found at http://www.selectism.com/news/2008/10/26/junk-de-luxe-aki-scarf-hood/ I have extra clothes & thought it would be awesome, since I don't have any money to buy them for the holidays. PLEASE! Well thanks for all your hard work. It helps me out and keeps me sane. *snip *snip

My mom finds people who trow these away and makes totes for groceries for people, when they have a function at work (that requires food) she brings a lot of them with her and takes all the plastic bags so they have to take one home...many have asked her to make them more because its so ingenious...but a duffel bag never crossed my mond...its out of this world....(sorry for commenting so late but I have to study for class finals and I have to use my time wisely)

Hey Thread Banger I'm looking for a tutorial on how to make a letterman or varcity jacket can you plz make on i would relly like it if you do. By the way nice vid!

lmao! you guys are too cute! i'm on the search for umbrellas! thank you

YES! showing a clip from the original FAME awesomeness. I salute you Threadbanger!

I really like this tutorial. You guys are getting better and better with every new tutorial. Inspires me to work harder and get better too. Too bad I don't use duffel bags or I would so make one. On the other hand one of my friends have a birthday coming up, maybe she'll like one. *-*

Don't worry, Corinne, I liked the movie! ...I don't think one can get any cuter or funnier than you in this ep.! :D

I didn't just like it, I loved it! Some of your tutorials I watch first for the entertainment factor then I go back to watch for the lesson. This one was soooo funny I cried while I laughed. Great job Corrine! I do have some old umbrellas that I never thought of as fabric. What an idea.

Fantastic! I've had broken umbrellas waiting for something like this. Thanks : )

I REALLY really really want to make this duffel now..it was SOOO cute ....now I've got to come up with a reason to own one....hummm

AHhhhah, I love the end! This is a GREAT tutorial guys, thank you so much for really stepping it up! I hope you a had a relaxing holiday, we all missed you! ps- Corrine, you've got nice technique! And your flexible! I've been dancing all my life and I can still barely put my leg on the bar ;P

hahahah I love you guys. Your dance moves are stellar. And that duffle is AWESOME! I wish I had my sewing machine with me at college...

oh my gosh! that's an awesome project! love it!

great idea to be using old umbrellas!

love it!

One VERY important step was forgotten - don't forget to open the zipper again after the stopper is sewn otherwise when you close the sides up there will be no place to turn it out!

really cool bag good thing you used umbrella because then all ur stuff is safe when it rains
