How to Make a Rain Poncho, Spring Fling, Thread Heads

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???????!!!!!!

Rain ponchos are awesome for riding bikes when it's wet! And making one out of old shower curtain is so way better than buying on of those cheap "disposable" smelly ponchos. Great thinking Rob & Corinne. LVOE.

I have a spare shower curtain layout around in the original packaging. Now I know what to do with it! Thanks!

i need help. so my zipper for my backpack broke and i dunno how to fix it. one side of the zipper just broke in half. not like it's completely unzipped and the zipper in on on side but the teeth part is broken. i dunno it you can picture that but that's what happened. help!

great episode! the poncho idea is really neat and looks super easy to make.

janome is so cool for sponsoring you! congrats threadbanger!

OMG! thanks so much for showing us how to sew vinyl. i never would have guessed to use tissue paper! duh!

that prom dress was amazing and best thing about it was the green highlights!

Your hair looks really cute in a ponytail, corrine! :) I'm not too into ponchos, but I'm going to use this tut to make me a raincoat instead.. I gotta figure out how I'm gonna do that though. Guess I'll try to modify a hoodie pattern?

That abu ghraib visual reference in the initial still, kinda not cool. Political satire is great and all but that just rubs me the wrong way.

You score all of this weeks props, for rocking that incredibly rad Street Drum Corps shirt. Not enough people know about them. Good mostly-likely-unintentional plug there, rob

hey now....just calm down over there ! -rob

Rob looks like such a nerd in that poncho. Lol.

Hey guys, I know this had nothing to do with your newest show, which by the way is awsome, but i was watching your episode on a girl pirate costume and noticed the amazingly cool handmade manniquin and i was wondering if you could do a special on making one because I've wanted one forever but they are so darn expensive. thanks so much. u guys rock mikala

Awesome show yet again guys. Although I'm not a huge fan of ponchos due to their clumsiness when it comes to drying them out, it'll make a great addition to my camping gear.... because in a forest umbrellas just don't cut it.

how do make a summer dress?

hmm...you could so do a traditional coat pattern and use that recycled shower curtain for material!...Not that the poncho isn't cool. Happy Derby Day from KY!

Great sneakers and prom dress Threadheads! Totally cool periodic table shower curtain. I love this show!! xox

is it really janomE.... oops i have been saying wrong :P awesome show guys!

Cool episode, I am definately considdering creating my own poncho. Biran, you may want to check out the Fashion week episode for the scarff thing; I imagine if you use a thin fabrick you could create more layers easily. And I agree, what can I do with a belt that's starting to tear in half? (other than attempting to sew it back together with some heavy duty needles)

hey guys, it would be cool if u could make an episode about belts,-you know,show us how to reconstruct old ones os make them out of other stuff..just a suggestion! (ps:threadbanger Rocks!!!)

I love the poncho! so practical and couture at the same time!

i'm sorry but i didn't like this at all, i would like you to make one of those christian siriano's sarfs they look chic and expensive so please help me out and make a video so i could know how to make one of those scarfs

Too bad I don't wear rain ponchos..like ever lol.

is the poncho waterproof? I always through it would have to be some special seam otherwise the seam would leak water. ???

oooh that dress is beatifullllllll!

hi! nice blog! let´s exchange links? i hope so, a kiss and a hug, kira
