HOLY FREAKING CRAP COCKROACHES!
Stippling hint: if you meander your stitches and do not cross over the stitch lines, you create a more puckered surface. If you cross over, less puckering.
Obviously, the best thing to do is experiment and figure out what you like best. Have fun!
huh?
I really loved the fashion show and the tutorial, will do it... but this is not my favorite show... I love all the shows and it would be hard to pick a favorite.
I guess an idea would be to do some shoe stuff. I dont think there has been a show yet on shoes.
shoes are a great idea. we are trying to find a good DIY shoe maker...if anyone knows one let us know!
xoxo c
Hey Diana Rupp at MAKE Workshop used to have a shoe-making class. Maybe she can inspire.
great idea! i'm going to ask her about it.
WOW! That fashion show was amazing. Wonderful editing! I loved the song that was playing during it.
yeah its the greatest version of the hungarian dance ive ever heard but i cant find it anywhere!!!!
sorry its called turkish march. i was momentarily confused
Wow, that darning foot tip is awesome. I love the fact that it looks so intricate in the end, but looks so easy to do. Plus, even if you mess up the pattern, it will still look really cool!
Corinne
Cool roach bling! LOL~ now I've seen it all!!
I heard you got a serger! So did I but I need help!
I got a Janome craft master 110 from Freecycle~!!!!
Yeah!! For freee!!! But it did not come with instuctions,
can we get a tutorial on seting up the thread~n~needles?
It is not anything like my old sewing machine. Help!?!?!
Thanks!
a lot of peeps have been asking about a serger lesson and i am happy to announce that we will be doing one! not in this week's episode but the one after.
i love finding treasures like that!
xoxo c
Thanks a million (*^_^*)
I will be very happily waiting for your serger lesson!!!
Were they wearing wigs or their hair was really dyed?!?
Great show!! Do you know if there is many DIY craft shows
in IL?? I feel like chicago is not much of a DYI Kinda town.
We are living here now but I dont know about the DIY scene.
Once again will totally be watching for your up coming
shows!
Your faithful viewer,
Rane
Thanks for the shirt lesson! Now I just need to get my hands on one of those feet for my machine...because I definitely want to try this out!
Great show...as always!
oh my gosh!!!!! a pet roach!!!! so gross and cool at the same time!!!!
I love how the shirt came out in the end!!! i have to try it!
*runs away inspired*
holy crazy pet! i am so blown away.
BEST "screen shot" yet. ha.
I LOVE THIS TUT! I will totally do that to a shirt.
Just to comfort you all before everyone starts freakin out about the roaches...the glue they use is fruit based and the cockroaches are saved from a breeder that uses them for animal feed. Plus People like Kelly give roaches like Taco a good home.
AND his name is Taco?
a) hahahaha.
and b) bravo to the rescuing of ANY creature big or small. cute or gross.
I love the animal masks on the models. It was, in my opinion, the best aspect of the show.
Also, I REALLY LOVE the shirt. It is more than fabulous.
i wish you guys have NEW episode EVERYDAY! this is awesome.
that is our goal!
xoxo c
I agree! I wanna see more Thread Heads during the week. Once isn't enough!
That fashoin show looked awesome! I love the shirt idea too, it'll go on my to do list once i have/find a T shirt to use. Just in time too, I bought a sewing machinge at a garage sale for six bucks (and it works perfectly)!
Hey threadbangers! I have SOOOOOOOO many plastic bags from when we go food shopping...WHAT CAN I DO WITH THEM?!?! Please help me out! It takes too long for these to decompose!
THANKS SO MUCH!
Peace,
Morgan
Indiana, USA
HaHAHAHAha i was just going to say:
I LOVE Jonathan's plastic bag boa! Brilliant! THAT's what you can do w/ all those pesky plastic bags. If we look at it hard enough maybe we can figure it out. Otherwise, we need a tute.
diy or dye! I mean die!
xo
you asked about what to make with plastic bags?
a while back i think someone on the forum crocheted them to make an awesome purse, but i've also heard of people crocheting them to make rugs. Another idea is that you put wax paper on either side of a "plastic bag sandwitch" and iron a 3-4 bags together (you should do a test run first and see how thick you want it). then use your sewing machine and stitch them together to make a cool and very sturdy bag! (i've tried this, and it actually turned out pretty cool)
Also, for ideas for a new show... come to Canada! Toronto and Montreal have a GREAT vintage scene and there are tons of cool markets and designers that sell handmade and organic clothing, food, and house-ware. !
TTLY loved the fashion show. The masks rocked, and I loved the tut!!!!
Question, could (instead of buying the new foot for your machine) simply but the feed dog down and keep the presser foot up???
OH and if you haven't hear of the fight boring contest that savers is having you need to check it out.
Keep it up threadbangers.
i really want one of those cocarocahes more than anything. I love the episodes where you guysgive tutorils on how to create things... or other people do. either way, i find it more stimulating to create rather than to watch.
and i agree with memo. New episodes everyday would be freaking AMAZING
oh and this is my last post on this i promise but i have A TON of scraps and i want to make like a dress with them but i dont want it to look tacky and i dont really know where to begin? thanks!
Good episode, but the editing of the fashion show didn't showcase the pieces terribly well. Too much fast forwarding and choppiness, there was hardly a chance to look at the detail in the overall outfit.
I've tried that. Either the machine won't stitch at all (because it knows the presser foot's not down) or if it does stitch, the thread, esp from the bobbin, will get all messed up and tangled because the presser foot is like the link from top thread to bobbin thread. The darning foot is a fun thing- it holds down the fabric just enough so that the stitches are good and you can move the fabric wherever you want.
whoops I totally put this in the wrong place. Supposed to be five comms up at sewmysoul 's comment.
Shorry.
HERE's what I wanted to say re: this comment. While I love the editing so so so much (geeenius) it's sometimes hard to see something...but here's the brilliance of video players: THE PAUSE BUTTON! YAY!
In a video showcasing the outfits, you shouldn't NEED to pause to be able to see them... kind of defeats the purpose of the segment. So while the editing looked cool, it wasn't the best idea for that kind of coverage.
OMG my bubble dresss is in here omg omg omg :D
i am so going to make one of those shirts now :D
hey hey. love the shows. i would really enjoy if there was a present edition. maybe things you can make , that are cool and cheap.
Hey it would be really cool if you guys would do a DIY wedding section! (Isn't Meg from Decor... engaged? she MUST have some ideas)
Thanks, this site is great!
you could do a segment on japanese street fashion
they make a lot of their own clothes and customize pretty much everything
some of the things they wear are a little out there but i think that is what makes it so awesome
but even if you don't plan on doing anything on it you should most def look it up anyway because i bet you could get some inspiration from lots of it
HEY, it's Audrey! lol
So going to make one of those shirts today!
Audry Kitching ?
oh thank god i wasn't the only one who noticed Audry Kitching. How does the stick and pucker look if it is ironed down? I think it would look cool, but I don't know.
Yep. She's walked in his last three shows, actually.
I haven't checked to see if it's still up, but there *was* a video of an appearance made earlier that day on a show called "Good Things Utah."
In the clip, Jared and I do an 'open call' for Walking Sticks (my term for runway girls-- natch, with fondest affections implied...some of the "modules" are my close friends), and both Audrey and YouTube star Stevie Ryan join us on camera, with two outfits shown in great detail.
If you Google "Good Things Utah," it'll lead you to the site where (I'm hoping) the clip still exists among the recent archives?
(Got my claws crossed on this end...)
Best Regards,

Aloha Corinne!
Hi - first time leaving a message here. I was wondering...on that stipple shirt, how did you finish off the bottom? Or do you just leave it as it is?
I just found your site & I love it so far! Thanks for sharing your knowledge & inspiring me to be more creative.
Mahalos!
I really enjoied this fashion show, this style is just my sort of thing. I say more designers in the spotlight! I love hearing about different kinds of style and the inspiration behind it all-also the designer tutorials!
I'm new to threadbangers and I have to say you guys never cease to inspire me. I really enjoyed the fashion show. His style is just incredible.
Seeing as how its a pretty hot summer I'd like to see some more tips on how to stay cool. I've already cut slits into a bunch of t-shirts and it's doing the trick. But, a few more tips would be awesome.
I REALLY need something to wear over my bathing suit. I want to make something that doesn't take a lot of time and uses old stuff. PLEASE help me!
Has anyone else seen the commercial where the girls boyfriend knits like crazy and her friend is is hating on him until she shows off this awesome knit bikini/bra? I'd love to see a tutorial on how to make that. With a layer of matching fabric sewn underneath you could make a killer bikini for the summer.
Cool tee shirt puckering lesson but I want to point out that you shouldn't have to take the presser-foot off of you're going to unscrew the stem piece too! that just makes for one more thing to loose. can't you just take them off together?
Amazing fashion show and great episode! Your hat came out so wonderful Corinne!!! Great seeing you guys at I.C.E.
xoxo
it was great seeing you to!
i love your hat tutorial so much! I've made three so far!
xoxo c
It would be awesome to see some more baby stuff. I got a little 7 month old Rockin' rugrat and I would love to make some more stuff for him. I would also like to know if anyone knows how to make cadet hats... I see them on the Hot Topic website, and want to see if there is a way to hand make them
it would be awesome if yould explore the nj diy scene. THERE IS SO MUCH! and you're not that far considering your from ny. i know a ton of vintage diy stores, mostly in south jersey. if you guys come down to the beach, lemme know, i'll hook u up
maybe we could team up with indy mogul and take a trip to jersey...hmmmm, now if only the wheel would land on that...
i actually grew up in nj so i would love to go and explore the diy scene there.
xoxox c
Dang that was cool!
That was kind of weird about decorating a cock roach, but it did look pretty awesome.
I really like the fashion inspired clothing that was demonstrated on this threadbangers episode. It had a today take on a French style artwork
By the way, this episode was probably the best screen shot yet, you guys are getting really good and improving each time ;)
this video inspires me to MAKE! THANK YOU ... i just need a sewing machine hummmmmmmmm....
hey im a member not a guest !!!! heyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
that shirt is SO awesome, man i mish i could make one but i dunno if i'd be able to get a darning foot since my machine is a kenmore circa 1970s, any advice?
threadbanger, i love you!
I wanted to see the clothes, not all the fancy makeup and wigs!!!
i would love to see somthing on pets and/or on making clothes (from scratch ,how do i make a tee). cool idea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I would REALLY love to see something about what to do with aluminum cans on the show.
As both a dear friend and a fan of Mr. Gold, I gotta hand it to you guys: this quite likely is the best reportage I've ever seen of him/his collection.
I've often said, "I wish *I* knew how to sew..."
Well, your step-by-step projects fully amplify the desire.
You're adorable as Sweet F.A., have one of the most bitchen logos in all the interwebz, and are about to get some blogature and linkage over on my personal site
RIGHT
NOW!
Throwin' mad props from the L of A--
CCx
To get an even more pronounced scrunching use elastic thread in the bobbin. You have to wind it onto the bobbin by hand, very important, then sew as usual. Straight lines of this is how they do the pregathered material sold for sundresses. You can make your own in any fabric you want. Also, stippling is not supposed to cross over itself, but I wont tell.
DANG! I just got a message saying my URL isn't valid.
Trying again, new friends...
Clint Catalyst Rules !
-rob
fabulous T - not sure bout the roaches though!
me either!
I don't care if you spraypaint prada on its back...a roach is still a roach. Cool fashion tutorial and fashion show, though.
wow i am really impressed by that tee!!!!!!!!!!! i am going to make my own!!!!!! what i would like to see on the show um????? well my website heelsforyou.piczo.com we have a webshow on there also not as good as yours i might add but thank you.
wow i loved this episode
i hate roaches but for some reason i think that is a very creeepy but interesting accesory i'd like to have :D
and i can't wait to try and make a shirt like the one yall featured
that roach was supprisingly cute with the gems on its little shell!
great episode....for sure one of the best!!!
Thanks to Clint Catalyst for the Nice words over on his Blog:

I love the show but I wish you all had CC (close captions) so I could recommend the show to my friend.I suppose it is a huge programming thing though. Also it is a web2.0 problem that they should fix........... (oops ranting) I will make that shirt!
i will talk to our techy peeps and see what we can do about that.
thanks for bringing it to our attention!
xoxox c
Hey Guys!! Super rad episode... can't wait to try my hand at this technique. You guys are awesome as always... keep it up!!! :)
whit
wow that t-shirt idea is toatlly awesome!!!!! i can't wait to try it out on one of my high school's boring t-shirts. ROCK ON THREADBANGER!!!
This video look like someone took a crap or a dump in a Final Cut time line.
I think this video was very well edited. I like how it sped up and slowed down - very artistic. And Warped Tour, no one is making you watch this video. If you hate the editing, then go watch you're own editing on 2girls 1 cup.
oh yeah..... what have u edited lately ?
oh snap!!!!!
2girlsand1cup. And even that doesn't look like this crap.
isn't the premise based on crap? so realistically it is crap
donthate strikes again !
I recently saw this cockroach thing on one of the CSI and didn't really believe that this was a real thing. Man what's going on with those people? That's just decadent and so stupid. Btw, where are the animal rights activists?
they (the animal rights activists) are right here.
those roaches come from a producer who breeds them for feed or bait. essentially they are rescued roaches who otherwise be feed to other animals. the crystals are applied using a fruit based glue by a jared gold roach wrangler each time some one buys one. its just like putting a pet dog or cat on a leash.
if you are against them you also have to be against people who walk their dog.
xoxox c
I also didn't like that we were zoomed up on the models' hair and makeup. Yes, it's amazing, but... I wanted the clothes he made. The fact that you devoted part of the "pre-show show" to makeup application and hair styling was enough
there's a lot of shots of the clothes. i love how it was edited. very artistic.
Ah, something I forgot. Now that you've done something with shirts that are too big, can you develop things for clothes that have shrunk? My clothes always shrink and it's ridiculously irritating.
OMG i luved this episode.jared gold's stuff is so pretty.i even appreciated the cochroaches n i hate roaches. ew ew. could u do lyk a jared gold inspired design or something cuz i luv his stuff but its so over the top n amazing. but i dont see myself wearing anythign that complicated i'd luv lyk a simple tee that had the look or something... i did luv the stripple tee btw
Since summer is here, it would be awesome to see a segment on garage saling.
great idea!
i love garage sales....we called em yard sails. my grandma seriously is a pro when it comes to them.
xoxo c
yeah, sales not sails...*sigh*
i also just realized how many times i wrote "great idea" in response to people's comments. whoa! what can i say...they are all great ideas!
xoxo c
Bonnie I agree! I think It would be cool if they went to someones
garage sale and then revamped the stuff they got, and had their
own run way!! Even with kiddie stuff too. *remember us moms
we want to DIY educate our kiddies from the start!! So they love
what they got or revamp it!!* How about some summer DIY for those
bored kiddies that are home for summer vacation. Projects??
Love your site!!!
:DIY!!
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE IT!
What happened to all the punk?
can you do some more metalhead wear?

keep up the good work
Definitely love the stipple shirt - going to have to try that one out if I can figure out the darning feature. In my internet travels in search of DIY shoemakers (I'm always on the lookout for them too), I found something interesting. Patagonia actually put out a shoe called DIY that you put together yourself. I totally love the concept. There's a video here - http://www.thecleanestline.com/2007/03/diy_wtf.html.
I'm not really a knitter (yet), but I've seen a magazine (and I can't remember which one, sorry) with tutorials on knitting shoes. That's probably the closest I've seen.
Oh, and that fashion show was AWESOME.
That model with the pink hair is the same model from New York Couture. :]]
It sort of irks me how a guy can take all this stuff mainstream and get credited as being "genius" when women have been doing this stuff for years. It's like when guys cook, they get gourmet chef status, whatever...
anyway, I suppose it's nice seeing more guys doing stuff like this, spreading the good word. The cockroach schtick? well, someone was going to do it eventually.
Rant aside, the fashion looked pretty good. Same stuff I've been seeing out on the street being DIY'd since late 70s. Good job, Gold. I did enjoy the masks on the backs of heads.
Major props out to Rob and Corrine for their awesome coverage and the killer "how-to's" detailed here, as usual. Peace!
Wowie zowie! I love the roaches! I want one now! I dunno if this was the best best episode, but it was amazing! getting to see a real fashion show and learn a new To Do for the t-shirts is definitely hitting the top of my list. Keep up the good work!
hahaha jonathan is one of my professor's!! this is crazy!
Very cool Stippling. i wonder what it would do on other kinds of fabrics like silk or denim. It would look cool right down the middle of a shirt, and maybe in neon colors.
i liked this project!!!!! i would really like to see a video about dressmaking!!!! that would be very very kool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's a version of Mozart's Alla Turca, popularly known as the Turkish Rondo. I don't know who did this version/remix.
i want this version of the song!
hungarian dances? alla turka or turkish rondo?
whatever the hell it is, i want it. NOW!
:)
Found it (duh, they have music props at the end)

Unfortunately there is no more than what was played in this episode of threadbanger.
DO YOU HAVE OTHER USES
FOR T-SHIRTS?

kudos for the shirt idea! :D
got any other awesome ideas for your plain old tees?
oooo...I'd like to see Corine's twirly purple skirt.
Hi! I've known and loved threadbanger since the very beginning, and this episode is awesome! I was wondering, how to sew a patch on the sleeve of a hoodie or something else with heavy fabric with my machine. I handsewed for 5 years before I got my first machine, so I can just handsew the patch but machine sewing is so much faster. How do I maneuver my hoodie so that the machine sews on the patch on the arm but not sew the sleeves shut?
Thanks
Keep creating!

I would die if I had a cockroach pinned to me.
No, literally I would die I'm very allergic to them.
X_x
I saw a cockroach on another movie. They had jewels on them such as diamonds and rubies worth alot of money. Love the shirt. It's defenitely a cool way to make a T fir better.
