How to Make a Picnic Blanket Backpack, Earth Day, Wearable Collections, Eco Fashion Show, Thread Heads

I'm definetly making this. You guys are my heroes. GO threadbanger!!!!!!

Awsome!! I just so amazed at how much i can do with all my old stuff,,, Just love threadbanger so inspiring!! thanx a bunch Peepz!!

*throw, not through.

That is amazing! I didn't know anything like wearable collections was out there, what an awesome concept guys!! I hope this catches on in all major cities. I live in a small town and we just donate the clothes to Sally Anne (salvation army), I find great "fabric" there all the time. no one should through out there old clothes, if you won't re-purpose them, then donate them so someone else can!

What a great episode! The fashion show is great!Thank's for sharing!

HEY I LUV ALL UR SHOWS. IM IN MIDDLE SCHOOL AND CLOTH BAGS ARE REALLY IN STYLE. U KNOW THE ONES THAT U CAN USE AS A PURSE AND STILL USE TO HOLD BOOKS IN. WELL I WAS WONDERING IF U COULD DO A SHOW ON NOW TO MAKE BAGS LIKE THAT CUS THE ONES AT THE STORE R SO EXPENSIVE AND THEY ALL LOOK THE SAME. SO CAN U PLEASE PLEASE DO A SHOW ON THAT IT WOULD MAKE ME SO HAPPY???????!!!!!!

hey
mother's day is right around the corner, and im broke. have any ideas i can make as a present for a woman who doesn't wear jewelry and is not a girly girl?
thanks

First i would just like to say i really like the picnic blanket. I also have a request could you show how to make Tam (Rasta) hats on an upcomig show. And Finally Those are quite sexy straight pins where did you get them?

Hey threadheads i would be forever in your debt if you gave me some ideas on turning old clothes into some sweet styles for the summer. I'm thinking like, dresses, halters, skirts... stuff like that. thanx!!! 

I just found your show, & I LOVEEEE it. I have recently been thinking about going green, but I was a bit worried. You taught me that you can still look cute while saving the earth!
thanks, rob & corinne!

from: mmscheerleader

the running total is 1,540 bucks....not bad at all

How much did they raise?

nice serger...how about a tutorial on how to thread one of those bad boys?  Cause lord knows my mama and I have a serger that's going unused cause we can't figure out how to thread the thing...and we lost the manual. help!

hey Threadbanger,

I am relatively new to sewing....I noticed on your Earth Day Special that you were using a serger.  What is the difference between a serger and a regular sewing machine. Thanks and keep up the great work!

Hey.....I think those were my Rock and Roll underwear !

this is from ben:i love this site keep up the good work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! also if anyone has an idea on how to make some fingerless gloves please click on the link and add it on to any of the comment boxes on any page of my website!!!!!!!!!!

this is from rosie: this website is so cool a I am a starting fashion designer and I  have some pretty good skills but I need more so this website is so helpful and I will try the projects.

There's not enough actual cool fashion how to's anymore.  My favorite episode was when you showed us how to make a really cute shrug out of an old sweater.  I totally did it myself and it's so hot!  I really wanna see more episodes where you actually show me how to MAKE something hot to wear.  Who cares about what all these other people are doing.  I really don't care about some chick's fashion show where all the clothes just look really boring.

I really want to purchase a serger, what are the price ranges? What are some "out of the box" ideas you can do with a serger?

HEy could you guys do a tutriol on how to costumize your old white sneakers because i have a ton of them thanks

I loved the episode! You guys are crazy amazing! A picnic blanket backpack? Wow! I sure wish The Wearable Collctions Project is awesome. How is this the first time I have heard about something like this?!?! Kayla is the cutest thing ever! Way to have a great mission so early on! Thanks for rocking Rob and Corinne! See ya!

Wow, that episode was so awesome! I hope that I can do something like that in the next three years, and I was heart-broken by the guys whose friend got paralyzed. 
Btw, (I always feel like I'm pointing these things out T.T) the syncing with the sound and the video were off on the windows download. Thx!

Ooooh, look at that new serger!!!!! Go sew, girl. Yep, I typed that.

What a fantastic episode. Wearable Collections is AWESOME!  400 pounds of clothing NOT in the landfill, going to charity. What rad dudes.

Wow this vid was awesome :)
Im a new member!! And have already made quite a few things from your tutorials.. 
I was wondering where you got your pins from? The ones you use in the picnic blanket tutorial.. im in australia so not too sure if i could get them from here :(

That's a fantastic school project! Great job :)

So, people usually throw unwanted clothes in the garbage?  Seriously?  News to me - how wasteful!

Great episode.  Thanks.

Woot for Earth Day! Its awesome to see how Kayla planned and accomplished her eco fashion show! And the backpack was really cute ^^

I must protest one of your tips to "go green" Turning off your computer at night and then turning it on in the morning will NOT help. If your computer hibernates, just let it do that and it will use less energy to turning it off then on

sweetness!!!! My Earthday advice is to stop buying books and use your local public library!!!! my local library even has an online library with downloadable adiobooks and ebooks all FREE!!!! (gads of professionally evaluated databases too) there are even quite a few crafty books online.....

i'm so proud of that student! amazing job! and my lil tip is to make earth day everyday!

Wow - I'm so impressed that a high school student put together a fashion show like that! I'd give her an A! 

there is a guy walking around in the woods behind you... (sorry thats random-)
Here is a Going Green book;
- Its Easy Being Green by Emma Sleeth

I am so proud of Kayla and all of my other students that made this happen!  As I said in your episode, she definately gets an A+.

This episode combined three of my favorite things: Eco-Friendly projects, Threadless T-shirts, and Janome sergers! I recently purchased a janome serger with a "serger fund" I started in 8th grade.

It would be cool if you had an occasional show witth projects aimed directly at serger use. Maybe "serger sunday?"

hi my names myrriame my bff is faving a costume party and i want to be dorthy and i tried making a blue print corset but i don't have a sewing machine please help me i don't know wwhat to do and her party is in 3 weeks please help me

Loved the blanket idea  :)  This summer I plan on adding lots of summer dresses to my wardrobe.  Could you guys do an episode about summer dresses (and maybe summer friendly guy clothes as well)?  I would LOVE it!  You guys really inspire me.

Holy Moly what a great episode!  The fashion show ROCKED, Kayla!  Whoo-Hoo! Go grrl.  And the blanket is primo.  
I made a "catch a few rays/ eat a sammich/ read a chapter/ watch an outdoor concert" blanket out of used (and cleaned) disposable (ie: plastic) table cloths (with the fuzzy stuff on one side) and fabric scraps.  Fun patchy fabric on one side and waterproof on the other!  
Plop down anywheres.
ROCK. On. ThreadHeads. Rock. On. (snip snip)

this is my favorite epi by far.

great tutorial corinne! definitely gonna give it a stab

& an eco-friendly fashion show?!
A+++++

I loved the fashion show.  I'm so glad she raised that much money to donate, and I think I've got some digging around for more eco-friendly alternatives to making my own.  And yay, you used my tip.  I wish I could get a Wearable Collections bin here, but we're so far from NYC.  :(  Thanks for the great ep!

This episode turned out SO great! Thank you guys so much for coming and talking at the fashion show again...I still keep thinking about how amazing it was.

And thank you for the comments :)!

Wow, that fashion show was awesome! I wish I thought of something like that when I was in High-school! Great job!
