After recently binging "The Queen's Gambit", I had a MIGHTY NEED to make myself a couple new pinafores. I decided to try a couple different styles and some fabric I recently picked up from the thrift store (opted for the NOT earth-toned ones... I know, who am I, right?) Anywho I hope you enjoy!
I love you all!!

So excited about this! Tell frodo he is a handsome good boy
@@mynameishannah I love your content! Hope you had a great week off
Frodo is a lovely dog. Your videos have given me the urge to make my own clothes. Vintage ones
OK but what's your Support ID because we need to be In-Game friends!
Helpful hinty: I have a couple dozen pinafores that I wear every day over shirt/blouse and cape dresses and kirtles, and all of them are open-backed. Take a look at Amish designs. Those open backs can save you up to a yard of fabric when you’re piecing from remnants and castoff textiles. 😉
These were marvy, by the by. You’re hilariously entertaining.
Frodo's getting awful sassy now that he's a celebrity.
Right????? Refuses to work more than 5 seconds without a treat 🙄🙄🙄😂😂😂 what a diva
Diva dog we stan
Lol
I was going to say the same thing. lol
I got confused.😂 I forgot her dog's name was Frodo, ans i thought we were talking about Elijah Wood himself.😂😂😂
"I'll be using this pattern again, which I'm sure you're sick of-"
Joke's on you, Rachel, I can't even remember what I had for breakfast this morning
Ok
mood
I wanted to chime in, I'm always excited to watch things be made. I'd also like to make my own clothes, so it's helpful to watch her skills evolve and approaches/solutions.
i remember! i... had.... give me a second i'm sure i'll remember it... never mind
Me...
When you desperately try to remember what you had for breakfast for like 10 mins, give up and hours later go into the kitchen because you're hungry and see what was supposed to have been your breakfast because you forgot to eat after going to the bathroom 👍
My husband looked over just as Rachel was lying across the fabric and goes "Oh, are you watching a yoga video?" and I nearly spat out my coffee
😂👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Marry that man again. Lmao. 😂
Mine thought I was watching floor scrubbing videos, yoga seems more appropriate ahahahah
Lololol
Ha ha ha ha ha!!!!
rachel has the power to put pockets in ALL of the clothing she makes.... and she doesn’t
"pockets R hard" Rachel? ;-)
I love me my pockets...💕
@@melodysciarratta6630 patch pockets tho
@@rachaelevans8351 Don't even start...
I was just thinking about that! Pockets are essential 😄
OMMMMGGG, I AM SO HYPE FOR MORE PINAFORES IN THE WORLD!!! Shirts under dresses (and pinnies) is MAH JAM
Right!? love them
YES!!! LOVE THEM!! ❤ HI MORGAN!!!
I recently sewed my own pinafore look inspired the red one you wear in your videos :)
I'm starting to think they could be my jam too, after my second major hand sewing project (purple plaid flannel housedress based on medieval shift pattern with gores and gussets) turned out so dang comfortable, a house pinafore I can wear over a sweater in my cold house might actually be a thing I want to wear instead of sweatshirt and PJ pants :P (yes, my aesthetic is "total slob on a day off" but I'm trying to find stuff that's prettier but just as comfy, I wear a lot of polarfleece)
I love pinafores I just never knew they were called that 😂 I called them overall dresses
"Big, flat, soft surface: must plank" - every cat ever in existence 😂
Does that mean I’m a cat then......
@@ann.addiction_to_books yes
@@sharpduds meow
Confirmation that my dog is secretly a cat
Lol soooo true
I'm jealous that whatever thrift store you're going to actually has any of this stuff. Mine always has like... already burnt candles and partially used body products.
When i first read that i heard body parts instead of 'body products'. I did a quick double take
@@elainewalter8685 same😂
@@elainewalter8685 Wouldn't put it past them, honestly 😂😂
Mine’s got polyester 2008 to 2015 stuff.
I shop in the men’s dress shirt section to find cotton stuff I can restructure into a woman’s shirt, and bonus: it’s thick enough that you can’t see through it.
Mine charges about the same price for a stained and used bed sheet that a store would for a roll of actual sewing fabric.
Rachel: I'm gonna make some pinafores!
Me: What's a pinafore?
*Watches video*
Me: ...I need a pinafore
same! except i saw the thumbnail and immediately needed one or eight 😂
Same I’m looking at a bunch of cute pinafores on etsy and stuff and I want to buy them *all*
Me the first time I watched one of her videos...
Same. I'm on kind of a binge for watching these kinds of video's after inheriting 2 sewing machines and therefore delving into making my own clothes.
@@thewonderlander1372 after taking just a 45 second view of etsy's pinafores I more strongly feel the urge to learn to sew, lol
Rachel: this time it's not brown!!
also Rachel: picks the most muted, most brown-adjacent pattern possible
Ha Ha. thought the same.
Rachel should make a video in which she finally tackles the pile of unused clothes in her closet that she convinced herself that she will alter one day... and never did.
yes! I find those videos so satisfying, because it gives me the feeling that I'm tackling my alteration pile without actually having to do it myself haha
@@sianc7235 ahahahaha 😂😂 driking coffee while watching them and feeling accomplished
Rachel pls
You mean another / updated one? 🤩
My high school uniform was a pinafore, so watching you make these always has me stuck somewhere between "those are the cutest things I've ever seen" and existential dread.
"Sewing all these panels together. Which takes... forever"
_Laughs in I-don't-own-a-sewing-machine-and-am-currently-handsewing-skirt-panels_
I feel your pain 🙂
😉Inherited three sewing machines, but still do seams by hand.
Last time I used a machine was 7th grade sewing class. Needless to say I retain little from those days -- except the😨horror of trying to understand pattern instructions & how to measure something.
Two things that might be simple for the average bear🐻, but are still torturously difficult tasks to me.
🤔 Imagine being a straight "A" perfectionist who loves to 📚read about almost any subject who could not show mastery over those two skills. Let me tell you, I shed a lot of tears💧having a highly skilled seamstress mother & wood-working craftsman for a father.
Luckily, I haven't let my "handicap" stop me tinkering at either thing. Found ways to work around my short-comings. When it comes to handy skills, just adjusted my bar to "good enough." Progress over perfection!✌😊🤙
Same, Laura! I am doing a super elaborate linen ballgown currently... by hand... it's an issue
Yeesss... *looks to my chiffon gown that I am stubborningly hand sewing* 😆
@@TheWhiteMistress @Medea Worbs and others : gosh, I feel so much less alone ^^'
I binge watched The Haunting of Bly Manor before this video and when Rachel said "perfectly splendid" I was about to throw a chair 😂😂
Im sick of perfectly splendid is it worth finishing its going painfully slow
Dude I felt that way with her IG caption the other day
@@myhauntingromance )
I struggled so much with the first episodes. I was about to hit my head at the screen if I heard those words again.
But yes, I think it's worth watching.
I’d honestly rather watch you make your own clothes than watch someone haul items they’re going to trash/donate/end up in a landfill in a few months! Thank you for giving me the content I’ve been craving and didn’t know in needed 😙👌🏻
exactly!
Seriously!! Love the fact that she recycles fabric to make her clothes. What a lovely idea. 🥰
Why would you assume they would get rid of their clothes in a few months? Who does that? Rich people maybe.
@@spicybeantofu
She is talking about typical fashion TH-camr's, who do large hauls of off Wish and such websites all the time, just to create content.
Of course, depending on where they buy from, they probably also just send lots of it back. But it still kinda promotes the 'quantity over quality' mindset, of course and triggers people's 'I wanna have that, too!' reflex.
@@raraavis7782 yeah hard agree... It's become a deal breaker for me if TH-camrs do hauls like this. I really don't want to follow people like that. Especially since I've never seen anyone wear the outfits afterwards and they often order things to bash on the quality for the 'drama' of it...
I’ve always loved pinafores but felt like I’d be made fun of by loved ones for looking too “schoolgirl”, and then me and my husband were watching queen’s gambit and he made the comment, “I love her outfits, you would look cute in something like that,” and now I am wearing all the cute things I wanted to wear for so long!! I am so happy
Frodo: _isn't given a treat_
Every dog in a ten mile radius: I feel a great disturbance in the Force...
A surprise, to be sure, but a welcome one
TRAITOOOR
Sometimes Rachel does something and I think "oh editing Rachel is going to hate this..." And then I remember they are, in facts, the same person and she's doing it to herself XD
Hahahhahahaha❤️❤️❤️
I love that! Sponsor Rachel, Editing Rachel and Crafty Rachel!🥰
But seriously editing Rachel seems like a different person than Crafting Rachel!
Wow now I need a 4 Rachel dance scene a la Orphan Black season 2 finale!!
Wait they're all the same person? 🧐🤣
"Deal with problems later" this feeling speaks to me 😆
More unsolicited sewing advice: when making a multi-gored skirt and it appears as if the waist might be too tight because you don’t have enough fabric for another full panel, try cutting 2 (or more) strategically placed panels with wider-than-usual seam allowances, so you have a bit extra already in place to enlarge the circumference of the waistband.
Ms. Maksy, it has been fun to watch your sewing skills advance by leaps & bounds over this past year.
Great advice! The other option is also to sacrifice some length and trim the skirt at the waist to increase the waist circumference. 😊
@@elzannelouw5666 This is what I was going to suggest.
The "videos like this" suggestion feature said if I liked this video I should watch "Raccoons trying whipped cream"... just thought you'd all like to know.
lol!
its been two months and i cant stop thinking about this comment lol
its been 4 months now and i still cant get this comment out of my head
The algorithm is serving you so much better than it is serving me 😭
I love that Rachel makes close captions for each of her videos! Even though I'm not deaf, it's still super nice to have the option to have accurate captions and it makes me happy that this increases the accessibility of content!
yes 👏
How dare you assume I wouldn't purchase a t-shirt with "Picolas Cage" on it 😂😂😂😂
Hahahaha TRUE I totally would as well
If it was "Picholas Mage" it would be a Gandalf persona Pickle...it just wouldn't sell...🥺🧙♂️
But but but then it could be a Balthazar pickle and I would buy it for my boyfriend at least (Balthazar being Nic Cage's character from The Sorcerer's Apprentice iirc)
All of the different “Rachels” actually feel like different people and I love that 😂❤️
“They call me....Rachel no mock-ups Macksy..”
🤣🤣🤣
I only make mock-ups for bodices, or if I am going to use the mock-up for lining the final garment.
@@Tina06019 I make mock-ups if I'm not using a pattern or if the fabric I'm using is expensive.
Have you guys ever noticed that editing Rachel looks a whole lot like Rachel Maksy?
Pssssssst!
Shhh, it's our secret
Really? I don't see it.
huge if true 🤔
Looks like a modernwear version of Rachel.. huh, isn't that weird?
Frodo's trying to be all tough with that bark, but he just sounds adorable.
I just had the mind-blowing realization that, now I’m making my own skirts, I, an Hobbit-sized individual, can wear a maxi skirt. My life will never be the same.
Also, I made myself a button-front plaid skirt recently and my sister declared it “very Maksy.”
Rachel: *squeezes pig toy*
My dogs: Mama? You squeak? Is playtime?
-_- they were fast asleep. But I love you, so you're forgiven.
Oh my gosh, a lookbook for The Queen's Gambit would be amazing. After you mentioned you binged it and now that you have the pinafores 😀
I don't really have any 1960's inspired stuff tho 🙈🙈🙈
Time to get Crafty
THAT GREEN BLOUSE WITH HER HAIR AND THE MAKEUP IS EVEN BEYOND A CHEF’S KISS
The amount of balls it takes to sketch in pen... that’s a special kind of confidence 😂
I love pinafores, they are definitely overdue for a come back. I love how the full skirt hides my flat and does not respond to exercise butt. I am now going to have a conversation with my sewing machine about making a new pinafore (it's a 1953 Singer and it has moods).
Oh if youtube had a laughing emoji reacts instead of just like orbdislike buttons 😭😭😂😂😂
I've got a 1950's Singer too. She is moody but lovely
My Grandma taught me how to use her sewing machine which I’m guessing is also a around a 1950s singer, that is the only sewing machine I know how to use 😂
I think newer machines have more moods.
Glad to see you back! And I'm never sick of seeing that pattern honestly. Shows that's it's a good investment to have a pattern that just plain works.
Yes!!! "If it ain't broke "and all that 😂😂
@@rachelmaksy Since you like that pattern so much, you should consider making a "hard copy" of it in cloth. I don't know the technical jargon, but if you look up making a sloper, you could probably use those directions. Sooner or later, the paper pattern will become unusable. Love your pinafores. They look so comfortable.
Same! I'll sew the same tried and true pattern a dozen times. (This goes doubly if I've perfected the fit.)
Where can I find the video of the brown pinafore? I can't seem to locate it and I would love to watch it too. ❤️
@@grittykitty50 I have sometimes glued pattern pieces to heavier paper to make a sturdier pattern.
I was literally just thinking “I haven’t seen a Rachel Maksy video in a bit”. And then this video pops up in my subscription box 😂
Heehehee BOO
@@rachelmaksy Hi! Your videos kinda inspired me to make my own trousers! And various other articles of clothing!
I get some strong Violet Baudelaire vibes from you, when you tie up your hair :D
I love this. Thank you
How to fix bib pinafore: remove the zipper, add corset-like lacing with a panel behind it.
Just a suggestion. It will let it out a little bit and might look cute!
Yes. Any excuse to not use zippers!
My friend sent me your pride and prejudice tik tok saying “this is you.” It was the biggest compliment I could have received ❤️ Your videos make my week every time they pop up in my notifications!
😂😂❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Good for you😍
I lived in a green pinafore when I was in school. People thought I was the weirdest but really it was so comfortable AND I had sewn it myself!😁👍🍻❤love to Frodo and Binx!
Ah Rachel, as you were making as many panels as you could I am shouting” Waist measurement!” More panels doesn’t just make more swoosh, it also makes room for turkey and stuffing.
Try a soft whistle sound or a soft click(make really sure it's a SOFT "click" sound)to keep his attention. I work at a SPCA animal shelter as a Veterinary Nurse. We use this trick to get cute pics to put on our website for adoptions. 👍🏻 Good luck sister-friend.
WHAT?! *Un-brown* pinafores?! But how am I supposed to match my toast aesthetic?! 😂😂
😂😂🙏🙏🙏❤️
YES! What gives?? 😋
I am so sick and alone and I needed something to comfort me. THIS COMFORTS ME. Thank you Rachel for being you.
We all love you Abby Fletcher! Get well soon. Snuggle down and rest well.
💕
Aww I'm so glad 😭❤️❤️ HUGS!
❤️❤️❤️❤️ there’s a bunch of us thinking of you, and wishing you a swift and easy recovery. I’m glad you saw this video right when you needed it to make you smile, and I hope you see these comments.
I hope you feel better soon
Is there a rules about pinafores not having pockets cause neither of these pinafores had pockets Rachel
A traditional pinafore usually has pockets. The garment is, after all, utilitarian in nature. One nifty design feature has a side opening such that the left pocket conceals the opening. The pocket pouch is only sewn halfway up its outside edge and the remaining sides neatly turned and hemmed. As the waistband is opened, the pocket sides "gape" to allow enough room to get it on and then folds neatly back in on itself. Anything to avoid having to put in a zipper, plus it's more authentic! I learned this trick from a child's pattern, Simplicity 9282, but it can be made to work with any waist-banded skirt.
I never use pockets so I never put them in my clothing. If she doesn’t use them either then there’s no point in putting them in
Yeah, Rachel where them pockets???
I don´t even speak english... I started watchin Rachel´s videos just because i wanted to learnt the languaje, so I founded a million of different channels... I like costure but right now Im really interested in make my own clothes and get started into the vintage vibes... wish me look!
(And I hope you all understand because i didn´t use translator this time lol)
You did so well!
It’s “luck” not “look”.
Spelling on “languaje” is “language”, but I love the ingenuity.
It’s been two years, I bet you are so good at English these days!!

When you're making a symmetrical shape like the bib, fold the desired shape in half, and trace on the fold of your new fabric, that way both sides are even, then you can cut out the second piece
For anyone who wants to make the v-neck pinafore from the queens gambit, there's a full free pattern available on mood fabrics website, its called the gambit pinafore dress, the post includes all the instructions and a materials list 😊
I completely forgot that today was Friday and my day just got a whole lot better! I've been procrastinating from editing my songs, so now I'm gonna procrastinate more and watch this 😄
Good luck editing !
@@margotchaput3070 thanks, im trying to make my first demo and its tough
I didn't realise it was Friday the 13th til about a quarter past three! My friend called and started with:
"D'you know what DAY IT IS???"
"Lol, it's Friday 13th!"
"Of what? Say it!"
"It's Friday the 13th, 2020!" 😂 She had a truly awful day today! We had a good laugh over it though, and everything's gonna be ok.
Fast fashion cannot be satisfying, whereas something you make, even if imperfect, gives you a sense of accomplishment. You have me laughing every time. XOXO to my guy Frodo.
As a goth who has to make their clothes I'd love some "fast fashion". Its either too expensive or not big enough. I hate making my own stuff. Its gotten to the point where I just wear plain black dresses from walmart. Im so tired.
👀Always drawn to watch Rachel's creativity & hijinks. Enjoy it when she sews, esp. using thrift store material.😉Gives me hope to tackle a similar project✂️.
😁Rachel had me laughing more than usual. Hilarious add-in material, esp. the multiple personalities. Kudos to her 💻editor. 😍Truly excelled in production & story this time around 👏.
@@spicybeantofu 💐You have my sympathies. Sorry that you're struggling to find the right clothes @ the right price point. Know how frustrating that can be 😲.
🛍Shoe shopping has always been challenging👎. Battle high arches & susceptibility to blistering. Been 🔍searching🔎 for various ankle boots & flats in a certain💲range forever.
Used to be able to find good stuff on clearance in basic black, brown, & navy. Nothing seems to fit my long|wide feet👣 now 😔.
Unless they are in hot pink, neon green, or some hideous shade of nude.
Even if they did fit, buying thrifted shoes grosses me out 😝. Tried on men's boots & oxfords👞, but find those are usually too big & bulky. Don't need anything to draw eyes to my clodhoppers.
When I do find something I like that fits on sale, I might break the💰bank buying multiples.
Cheers! ✌😁🤙
So pinafores are basically dress overalls?? Neat!
I always thought (denim) dress overalls had so much potential but they just looked so tacky.
This is what I’ve been looking for :)
At about 8:45 was the first time I was able to actually read her tattoo and I’m CRYING ITS SO PRECIOUS
Really loved the calf length dress, and such a change to see you wearing not brown!!! Altho, of course you do suit those autumnal colours, the blue is a terrific colour on you too😊💙🖤
Heehee thank you love 😭❤️❤️❤️
Unsolicated sewing advice! Trace your patterns so u have a copy when the tissue breaks down for multiple uses
Of when frodos toes rip them!
Using posterboard makes them extra durable!
Yeah she has said that she needs to do that in multiple videos but she's too lazy. It's also really funny when Frodo runs over them because she panics every time and then she looks at the camera with a relief because he didn't tear at *this* time
Is there a specific type of paper I should trace it onto? Thanks!
@@josie1823 You can use anything, but I actually really like to buy the super cheap $2 shower curtains and use those. They're super sturdy and the clear is great for tracing!
Stunning! They Iook exactIy Iike something right out of the show! Your sewing skiIIs are so good RacheI :) Hey if you ever get bewiIdered again by not enough fabric to cut another skirt paneI, and are worried it's therefore not enough paneIs to fit in the waist, you can cut a haIf an of inch off the top of each skirt paneI, therefore making the waist wider, but with this if it then makes it too big you might have to end up gathering it or adding some tucks to fit your waist - just incase you get in that situation with not enough paneIs :) :) :) Amazing job as aIways
Frodo shouting at his staff 🤣🤣🤣 😎😎😎. Love the darker material pinafore. Looks great on you xx
*Rachel: Future self do this thing for me please.*
*Future Rachel: Yah I'm not doing that*
Laughing so hard!!!! 🤣🤣 Best INFP/Procrastination meme ever!!
Yaaassssss! Loved this bit SO MUCH :D
No one:

9 year old me is screaming inside over the mismatched directional plaid. Once you've been taught to match patterns, anything off is like an itch you can't scratch. I will say though, this is one of the few none matching choices I can tell myself to chill over a argue that it's a design choice to have the front focal panel be different.
I really appreciate that you're willing to share your journey learning to sew as an adult. My Mom was adamant that we learned, as well as things like basic plumbing home repairs and car maintenance, but I know most of the kids I grew up with didn't get half as much teaching on those formerly considered "basic life skills". Now most of those kids may have gotten better paying jobs right out of college, but this year has really turned the tables on the structure our system of valuing certain types of knowledge over others, and hopefully created opportunities to bring people together (through zoom calls! NOBODY GO TO IN PERSON GATHERINGS RIGHT NOW, PLEASE!).
I live vicariously through your pinafore obsession. I can't sew and can never find ones that I like. So I'll just keep watching you make the forever
Was totally expecting the “children yelling YAY!!!” sound effect after she said “I am not going to make something brown”. 😂
JK, Hobbit Rachel, I’ll watch you make as many brown items as you want!
I've literally tried for weeks to find a cute pinafore dress and have been unsuccessful. Well, you know what they say about when 'you need something done right!' xD Bless you, Rachel!
Hahahaha YUP a mood 😂😂😂 they're do hard to find online!
Oh my god..... Frodo is so adorable!!!! His little sassiness had me in tears from laughter!!!!
"Rachel no mock-ups Maksy" and I are the same human 😂 I also like to live dangerously 😉😉😉
As a fashion design major everytime I see you changing patterns and altering what the parttern says my head goes "Oh boy...she shouldn't do that" but at the end it all fits and you look cute and my mind and heart feel happy! 😌💖
Same!
Same! I think "you're not cutting on the grainline!"
Me the self taught sewer: make it huge so it at least goes on and then continuously take it in until it’s decent 😂

We’re probably just in different time zones - but around here it’s only about half past 9PM (about 21:30), and it says you posted an hour ago…
So now I’m just wondering what job/life schedule would require one to be in bed by 8:30p (20:30) 🤔
@@iridescentaurora268 actually, I have class (college) right now, and I feel like I needed more sleep. But you're right, I do sleep a lot, like a puppy haha
(And also different time zones, as well, slightly)
I have to say Frodo is absolutely adorable and comes in 2nd in cuteness, after my dog of course. I like both of your pinafores turned out nice. I can't decide which one I like better.
Hahaha understandable! 😂❤️❤️❤️
👩🎨Rachel looks fabulous in both darling pinafores🌷.
💎The tea length is a beautiful sapphire jewel tone. It has amazing swoosh in the skirt too, but I do 🖤love🖤 the long tartan more. Dig how the pattern looks all sewn together. Simply mad about plaid! 😎

Rachel, an angel: anyway I just bingewatched The Queen's Gambit 👀
Rachel, you are such an inspiration to me💖 I'm definitely not a novice seamstress but I get so stuck doing similar projects because I'm good at them and they are instant gratification. Your complete fearlessness about pushing yourself to learn and try new stuff even if you aren't immediately great at it is *dramatic chefs kiss* magnificent.
please keep making stuff and videos, it's been so lovely to see your new accomplishments
Rachel: "I bet you ain't never seen-"
Me: NO. NOT HERE TOO
Rachel: "-fashion like this before."
Me: Oh thank god
This is now my favourite comment thank you😂
Hahaha. "It feels heavy, thus there must be enough panels..." I love the logic!
Don't take this the wrong way, but do you ever pin the fabric to the rug when your pinning the pattern pieces to the fabric? 😂
ALL THE TIME
Bro I even pin it to my carpet 😭💀😂

I honestly don't know how many times I come back to this video just a refresher. "Did I watch that video of Rachel Maksy making pinafore dresses today?"

*checks for neighbors* “I have a mighty need”
Mighty, but not powerful enough to let the neighbors know
worry not i am here solely for the amateur sewing content (not that you’re really an amateur anymore) because it’s nice to see someone else sewing and wearing their creations even though they’re not 100% perfect, which is nice inspiration for me whos just getting started :)
They look great! If you ever want to make the gray one a little bigger, you could take off the straps & waistband, replace them with a contrast fabric, & then use the original straps/waistband fabric as a dart at the waist to give yourself a little more room.
Rachel: *uploads pinafore content*
Me: “yes GIB”
Gib backwards is big
I’m loving wearing pinafores or dungarees with big sweaters underneath at the moment. It’s so autumnal. This is perfect timing 🧶🍂
I think it's sweet you and Nick were wearing basically matching PJ pants during that photo shoot! The pattern was different but the color was the same, and I want to believe you bought them at the same time! Love the pinafores! I've loved watching you grow in your sewing skill and journey and seeing your confidence grow!
Our two youngest sister's are redhead's lol and when you combine 'work and play' it makes me smile. Missing them. Thank's for being you Rachel 🤟🧡🇨🇦
Yay so excited to see you back! Hope you had a nice break, you deserve it!
Lmaoooo, really loving editing Rachel in this one
Hehehehe ❤️❤️
I'm pretty sure i watch this video once every 3 months! I really love the everyday clothing sewing videos! I like having a friend to sew with!
I love how all I wear is t shirts and jeans but I watch this because
1) Rachel is amazing
2) I wanna feel fashionable
I can't help but think of Star Trek and Data, Picard and Worf singing "a british tar" from HMS Pinafore when I hear the word "pinafore"
I've had a pretty rough week but your wholesomeness and general cozy vibe always manages to brighten my day and today is no exception, so thank you :)
Aww sending love and hugs!!
@@rachelmaksy oh my goodness, thank you!!
The first dress. Amazing. Beautiful. This dress is my dream dress. Not only is it my dream shape and silhouette but IT'S IN MY PATTERN
I am in LOVE with the blue one, oh gosh. Funnily enough, I've had that EXACT fabric in my stash for years. I've used bits of it here and there but I now wish I still had enough to make my own pinafore.
A tip for fitting! Put the garment on inside out and pin the seams while it's on your body! (A buddy is helpful here if you got one.)
Rachel: theres a lot of heckin panels
Me (a seasoned watcher of this channel): yeah theres 12
Editing Rachel: like 12 i think???
Me: :)
Same lol
😂❤️❤️❤️❤️
i want to see a skirt with all 12 one day.... also i want the pattern lol
hmm maybe I got a bit fixated on the drawing but my eye kind of really wants the shorter pinafore to have deeper neckline and narrower shoulders? it covers so much it seems more like a dress than pinafore to me 🤔 but I really love the lenght the bodice shape and the fabric itself
I am so thankful I found you on youtube. I have been watching all of your videos. Your aesthetic quirky spirit is getting me through the last stretches of graduate school. Many thanks
