    Hi Rachel, me and my grandmother (89) used to watch your videos together, she was a seamstress and was a huge fan of your work. She passed away a few weeks ago, and I wanted to thank you for making my grandma so happy during her last months, I wish you all the best ❤

    😂This really happened to me. I found some gorgeous fabric and made a dress to go to my friend’s wedding - all was well until we got to the reception and found - you guessed it - that all the curtains in the room were … my dress fabric - and my space to sit was right in front of them - the photos are priceless 😂😂

    1) A real well made corset is amazing for back support. 2) to continue your floor troll days well into your 30s, try to teach yourself to sit in a yoga position that is comfortable. You are stretching out your back whilst you are on the floor. The cat-cow stretch is a great one that reminds you to keep your back and arms steady. The pigeon pose is actually really fun, and allows you to have both hands to use. The frog pose is the most fun. 3) I now want to make a dress that looks like wallpaper. I propose we start a trend of posting pictures where we blend into our environments with our outfits. Great idea! You are the Bob Ross of TH-cam sewing! I would watch you paint happy little trees and turn specks into birds any day.

    See, youre the only youtuber I actually enjoy seeing what you do with brown so much. You make it cute, with patterns or style. Youre not "sad beige baby" style with your browns. Theres a multitude of browns, and flowers, stripes, corsets, skirts, shirts, pants, dresses, gingerbread doll houses. Like you make up for not having a super wide variety of color, by having the variety be texture, details, and shape. All this to say, live your brown autumnal clothed dreams.

    I know you typically use vintage paper patterns, but seeing as you have an actual projector, using the projector for patterns is a GAME CHANGER! No more cutting paper pieces. Just project and cut and you’re done. So so easy!

      Having just printed out a whole stupid pattern TWICE because it didn't print with borders and I legit could not see where to cut and was going crazy, then cutting the whole dumb thing out while remembering I was going to have to do it all AGAIN in a grownup size.... I'm now seriously considering if buying a used projector would be cheaper than the ink and aggravation 😅

    • @Bacall1
      @Bacall1 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +17

      @@moxiebombshell projectors are such a huge time saver if you’re using modern patterns. I will say, there are pros and cons to both sides. Once you have a pattern cut out, it’s there and you can grab and go. But I do a lot of sewing for my little one and obviously I have to adjust the pattern size frequently. On the other hand, I sew in my attic and if the internet decides to be fickle, sometimes I have problems connecting to the projector. But overall I like using it! Again saves on paper and ink!

    I just love how you made the dress blend into the wall. Just awesome! But what I really loved is how you took that back brace and made it past of a chic throw together outfit, now that's awesome!!

    "I'm in my 30's and my body is disintegrating" is such a mood. Also I felt that brain shutdown so hard. u-u
    What a cool project! The dress turned out looking so cute! The illusion is really neat and the fact that it's all painted is super impressive! owo

    Your outfit at the beginning reminded me of Ariel's dress when she goes to see the town with Eric (OG animated version). I literally did not see it was a back brace. The outfit plus the red hair immediately connected to the Little Mermaid.
    Also, great job and good for you doing projects that bring you joy!

    lil painting tip: if you want a muted green, add a tiny bit of magenta!
    it brings it into a less saturated green without making it gray, if that makes sense ?

    • @Cosmo-Young
      @Cosmo-Young 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      this can work with any color! just add a bit of whatever color is opposite it on the CMY color wheel

    Dear Ms. Maksy,
    Once again, a lovely charming, only Rachel Maksy video. Thank you...
    ...About the aches and pains, and things in your body that seem to be crapping out entirely, when you hit your 30's (for me it was my late 20's because I'd overused some of my small person bits), I can offer you some hope. That all settles down again by the time you're in your 40's. Your body sort of adjusts to its new reality and chills again. There are parts of me that felt stronger than they ever had when I was in my 50's. I'm 61 and still feeling good. I dance, run when I feel like it, have no trouble bending - that sort of thing. So, try not to lament too much. Your body is not going to hell in a hand basket. It is only moving into a new phase - a different kind of growing phase.

  • @damealeta3541

    LOL I love it! When you were describing the project I immediately went to the Robert Downey, Jr. Sherlock movie. At the end where he's hiding "in" the wall. This was fun, sweetie and very creative. Take care of that back. Got an early start on ruining mine lifting feed sacks and bails of hay. Not to mention 20 years later when I had a giant baby! LOL Be kind to yourself because I need my dose of Rachel zaniness as often as you can give it!

  • @LordGertz
    @LordGertz 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +13

    Honestly, I think it's cute. In my head, I see this worn at some 70s hip folk music tribute band concert. Pre painting, you looked like you jumped right out of any of the great 60s and 70s sci-fi shows in the US and Britain. It truly appeals to my inner geek.

    • @bethdawson9861
      @bethdawson9861 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      Yes! That's why the unpainted dress seemed so familiar. Add long sleeves and make it red. It's almost Lt. Uhura's uniform from the OG Star Trek.

    @tigrezangel 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +22

    The dress is the cutest! I like the style (I'm quite fond of 60's easy to sew fashion). and the painting make it look so unique. It's a real joy to me every time you show your painting talent. I'm happy for you and also a bit jealous becase I think "maaan, I wish I could do that".
