- You ever get the urge to sport some fake foliage as clothing?? Well here's the next best thing, lol.
Ta-DAAA!! After a bit of a let down with my plans for this week, I had to scramble and think of something else, and QUICK. So logically, here we are: Terrarium Sleeves. I just can't resist making things out of gigantic balloon sleeves I guess.
ANYWHO I hope you enjoy!! I love you all!

HelloOOO my loves! Captions should be up in a few hours! Okay das it I love you all, ENJOY :')
b
i’m so excited !!! these look so cute
Okay 😊👍
💚💚💚
But hear me out: a full fern tendril skirt that is extra swooshy to complete the “spring vibes” look. No one would give two shakes about the hem!!
Can we please! This would be so amazing!!!!
Yes. Yes!
Yes please. Now,right now. Please and thank you.
I thought this said “fern dirndl” and now I want to see that
YASSSS!!!
Pumpkin sleeves! Beach ball sleeves! Hot air balloon sleeves! Snow-globe sleeves! I want to see them all! Great video as always Rachel.
Okay soooo I might make hot air balloon sleeves now because I NEED!!!!
Snow Globe Sleeves!! I lost two of my snow globes during a cleaning incident, so I'd love that!
Soon she can fill them with helium and lift her house into the air for a grand adventure! 😄
Beach ball sleeves???? you are a GENIUS
Hot air balloon I'm feeling around the world in 80 days
Rachel: "I kinda wanna make pumpkin sleeves for autumn."
literally everyone who's watched this channel: "yeah that's happening"
“We’ll see…”
Ma’am yes we will see them cuz you’re definitely 100% gonna make them
We want it to happen
I will wait patiently for pumpkin sleeves!
This has got to happen! We must not allow her to forget about this idea!
It's not something I knew I needed till she said it but yes pumpkin sleeves are a must now
Jack-o-lantern sleeves with lights inside would be so extra, but so cool.
OMG, you are a genius.
Omfg yeeees I would wear that every damn year!!!
YES
I LOVE THIS IDEA!
yo im from the future thats literally the most recent video
You know what would be a great video? Organizing your patterns and finding the wayward ones! It'd kinda be like a closet purge video, but also a "here are the patterns I have and here's some organization attempts!" (I LOVE those kind of organizey videos, am I weird?)
No, that would be cool. Especially given the occasional "Hi Abby," when a fellow CosTuber shows up on the envelope.
I'd also love this
Yes, this is a great idea! Find wayward patterns, content can be casual/chatty otherwise, besides doing the actual work of hunting down patterns it could be a casual vid
I love a good chatty organizational video! And I really want to see how big that Truly Victorian 1890s sleeve pattern is because I've had my eye on it for a while now and I'm curious
Give it to me 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Rachel: “so I had to scramble this week”
Also Rachel: proceeds to make the most exquisite peace of clothing I have ever seen
Yeah. I’m kinda glad that the first thing didn’t work out because we got this video! lol
The reveal immediately made me think these sleeves could be straight out of a studio Ghibli movie. It just has that sort of vintage whimsy feel that I can't get enough of!
"This hem is hot garbage" Shows the most adorable ruffled leafy hem ever! Seriously, it matches the vibe of the sleeves PERFECTLY! I love it
That's such a clever idea of attaching the fishies oh my goodness!!
I totally thought this exact same idea
@@nirainbow Thanks 😊 I wish I could sew well enough to try it myself cause once I thought of it I was like: "This NEEDS to be made a reality!!"
Oh, cute, I love this idea~
Oooh aquarium skirt.
In the middle of watching this, my husband walks over.
Husband: what’s this?
Me: Terrarium sleeves
Husband: oh is this Rachel Maksy?
Me: O_o
what I’m saying is, the brand is strong
This happens with my husband too!
Yes they look like her style! 😀💗
Just saying I would buy a Rachel Maksy brand dress
In my case it was my brother, but yes she has a strong brand going
I’ve bought a whiteish belt for a dress - ‘Like Maksy’, he said!!? 😃
Floral troll is the spring edition of floor troll. And this dress is so incredible ! It is peak cottagecore
"Perseverance... and perspiration."
I NEED THIS ON A T SHIRT
MERCH!
I thought for a second you wanted terrarium sleeves on a t.shirt. Then I re-read your comment. Still, tshirt terrerium sleeves..why not!
From someone who relies on the CC thank you so much for spending time writing out the closed captions and making sure they’re correct and hilarious in time with your videos. It is really really appreciated ♥️
Same! I really appreciate whenever someone takes the time to add good subtitles. It helps a lot.
Just got in trouble with my husband for watching terrarium sleeves without him, you are loved in my house! And those sleeves now watching it again with him!
That's so sweet!
My fiancé, who does not care at all about sewing, clothes, or other pretty things, also loves Rachel!
Same I can't watch a Rachel Maksy without my boyfriend or he would be pissed !
I watch with my Husband too! Love this.
I was watching this video and my fiancé had to leave the room to start breakfast. He said: "you have to show me what she's made". And because we just moved, we didn't get to watch once or twice on our weekend, and he told me he missed me watching her videos 🙂
Would love to see a Fall version of this...red, gold and orange leaves with some acorns and moss, perhaps. Love this Spring look, for sure!!🥰
All seasons actually! Summer with seashells and winter with snowflakes
This makes me wonder how a winter version would look
@@paisleywatson3369 ooooh, you could make the sheer fabric a glittery one so it could look like a layer of frost. Or one that has tiny dots like snowflakes. And then for the foliage maybe some twigs without leaves, think birch twigs the size of your hand, maybe a bit longer,, and also those (though this could be uncomfy bc pokey) spikey green leaves with the red berries that are in some Christmas wreaths?
I love the idea of making 4 seasons of these!
And if you'd plan on wearing it several times I think it would be a good idea to make the sleeves detachable though, bc I don't think you could wash the top like that...
Acorn sleeves would be so cute!
I actually thought you said “hot-air-balloon-sleeves”. Well that will be genius!
Now I'm imagining her as a 1930's circus lady.
@@user-is7xs1mr9y yoooo that'd be delightful
Using a sleeve head in the shoulder seam will make it stay up more “poofy” at the top. I can walk you through it if you like. It’s a great technique to know when you do costumes. I did wizard of Oz costumes for my daughter’s school musical. She and another teacher do the whole thing. I do costumes (27 Oompah Loompahs for Charlie and the Chocolate factory This is the first time many of these children have “sewn” costumes rather than pulled together from mom’s, dad’s, and grandparent’s closets. They love it. I wanted sleeves like that for Glinda the good witch. It needed sleeve heads - they made the world of difference. I went looking for my photos but I guess I erased them by accident. Our Glinda was every bit as dramatic as the one in the original movie. When she made her entrance all the primary girls gasped and their eyes got huge! The actress who played Glinda came looking for me and said “did you hear when they all said ‘Oooooo’ that was the best thing ever”.
I love watching you create, but I wish you’d give yourself a little bit more credit. I love the way you just jump in at the deep end and you always end up with something lovely. I’ve been sewing for 60 years and I can’t improvise the way you do. It’s a great skill to have these days with the world the way it is, so nourish that trait keep doing the interesting and beautiful creations that you do.
I agree!! Your not afraid to try things! I’ve been sewing since I was 10 and I’m 58 now. I made my senior prom dress, spaghetti straps and all. Love your ideas and they turn out so cute. ☂
The sleeves look gorgeous, I also think this technique would make awesome lampshades. Think of the light going through the fine fabric and making shadows with the plants! 🪴🌿🌾🌱🌼🌻🌹🌷💐
Oooh! great idea
I actually remember an old video of a woman hot glueing ferns to the inside of "boring" lampshades for a forest shaded effect. You just had to make the hot glue placements work with your effect.
Wooooo! I love this idea!
Lampshades hhhhmmm? Maybe window valences also? So beautiful 🦋🌸🦋
@@ladycharlotte8693 that's a great idea. Or like a light diffusing blind?
As a (sometimes) pretty sweaty person mysellf, "perseverance & perspiration" is a GREAT motto!
I saw you choose organza and was like oh she’s gonna love how the seams feel on her skin! Try putting flannel as a seam binding inside and it won’t feel as scratchy. Also if you get extra flannel try gathering like 2” x 30” of it and putting it inside at the shoulder facing the sleeve and not your skin as a pad to get extra volume
I was prepared to say "oh, the hem isn't that bad" and then when you pulled it out I CACKLED 😂 it's okay, it happens. So cute!!! Very well executed
I feel a mini series coming on. Rachel makes every kind of balloon sleeve!
that would be awesome
I really appreciate how she shouts out the designers she's inspired by AND provides an example pic. Found lots of interesting artists through these videos :)
I would love to see a fishbowl sleeve or a rainforest sleeve. My daughter made a coconut tree hat to wear for a book day for her class. Boom Chicka Boom was the book. It was So Cute.
I am consistently impressed with Rachel’s creativity, and how she just goes for it. Much respect. Love the terrarium sleeves!
Sewing Tip: Use clear contact paper to reinforce your favorite patterns. It will make your patterns last forever!!
That's brilliant Merrie thank you!
Agree! Brilliant!
You can also iron them to freezer paper for the same effect. And then hang them up on a skirt clip type clothes hanger.
So … now I, who’s been sewing and making my own clothes for 50+ years, feel like a total idiot for having never thought of this! 🤦🏼♀️ I mostly use PDF patterns any more, but … still.
@@susuburleson878 I also sew a lot of things that I make only once, because I don't need more than one of it, but that one thing that I've drafted or adjusted so it's just right, that I want to just make over and over with different sleeves, collars/necklines, skirt shapes, etc. That's the one to reinforce!
Aquarium sleeves. The inner fabric maybe a blue and green batik. Then either plastic fish, that you can hot glue fishing line onto the fish. Sew the lines into the top of the sleeves so that the fish can move when you walk. You will need to go back and forth a couple of times over the fishing line to secure them.
Or use fish iron on patches to iron on to the background fabric. Then use the fabric you had for this project to look like an Aquarium bowl.
Maybe a sand color skirt to finish the outfit. Or if you can find kelp like fabric, that might be cute.
Thanks for posting this and have a great day!
“Okay, but THAT is SO COOL.” -me, as Rachel draped the first sleeve on the mannequin
I am just amazed at how your “winging it” is soooooo gooood 😩😭💖💖💖
for your consideration: imagine bluebell or lily-of-the-valley sleeves or skirt- springtime-y and very cottagecore !!
The zoom at the hot glue gun with “I’ll Be Watching You” was so good lol. Another great project!!! Edit: pumpkin sleeves for fall would be perfect lol
Pumpkin sleeves would be spectacular!
Honestly, this whole project would totally have been a fashion trend in the Victorian times. So quirky and cute!!!
I love everything about Rachel and her work - but secretly I’m watching everything for glimpses of Frodo.
These sleeves are beyond adorable!
IDEA: Autumn leaf sleeves, like the leaves are suspended in a falling pattern that drifts down to a leaf pile laying at the bottom of the sleeve. On top of the leaf pile is placed a plastic jack-o-lantern that lights up. Purple sheer fabric for dark creepy vibes.. or orange/ivory sheer for autumn-leaning feels. A sheer-topped skirt with leaves sewn to it in a leaf-falling pattern.. or a circle skirt of layered yellow, orange and red sheers with jagged edges that give the feel of stacked maple leaves. For a photo shoot you could go visit a farm that has a cornstalk maze and perch beside pumpkins. Just throwing out ideas. :D Feel free to riff off of it.
I am in love with that autumn leaves idea matchy skirt, yasss!
OMG I wanna see this come to life now !
I definietelly pictured something as exquisite as other projects Rachel has done **
Um, dang, you clearly haven't thought about this at all. (Lol)
I wish I could like this comment 100 times. Great ideas!!
I think I speak for everyone when I say we need to see Rachel in Karolina's accurate Snow White dress. The hair, the lips, perfection!! This is the collab we need to see in the world.
Rachel was definitely channeling Disney Snow White's looks in the reveal!
Omgs yes, "cover myself in foliage and pretend to be a fay of the woods" is my life!!! I love you so much.
Idea: Make a shirt/dress inspired by the house from UP and make the sleeves the balloons 😊
I love them!! Also, the way you talk about both the good and bad at the end of your projects makes me feel like I don't have to be perfect when I make things, which is very encouraging. PLEASE DO MAKE PUMPKIN SLEEVES, that sounds adorable!
She could paint inside them instead of the plastic or a mix for accenting! Halloween sleeves 🎃💜🎃
I'm frothing at the mouth thinking of pumpkin sleeves
I remember aquarium nails (and shoes) being a thing. Now I want aquarium sleeves to be a thing. If anyone could make it happen Rachel can (with plastic fish of course)!
Groovy, baby!
Summer sleves theme !
AQUARIUM SLEEVES oh my goodness this has me so excited
no, REAL fish! /j
Or just some fabric made fishies!
Actually that hem works really well with the floral theme! It’s giving me trumpet flower vibes!!!
I 1000% endorse every possible iteration of over-the-top, extra, crazy sleeve shenanigans. Dramatic sleeves are my favorite thing ever, so whatever nonsense you can dream up to wear on your arms is AWESOME in my book.
Those sleeves turned out super cute. My suggestion for your next crazy sleeve project is constellation sleeves with working built in lights.
Genius!
Oooh! I like this.
😍😍😍 I have a skirt like that, it was a gift, and it's really wonderful; I would love to see Rachel make something like that from scratch because I could use the design help honestly. My goal is to make a whole light up constellation dress
Perfect, an excuse to use the lampchop sleeve pattern as well.
"but I love the IDEA of spring" this is such a mood - I grew up on the east coast of canada, spring has never been anything other than a hypothetical concept to me
I had a similar feeling for winter, since I grew up in Florida and never got below 50 F. Now I live in the Midwest and I lovehate winter
As a Deep South transfer to the Northeast, I HATE winter. All 6 months of it...
I find myself basking in the sunlight every chance I get.
I'm from California, what are these "seasons" you speak of?
I live in western NY, spring is just the month where if the sun is out it's 30 °, and if it's raining it's 60. It gets to be cold and humid at the same time
Where I live spring is those couple of days between snow and blazing heat. Once upon a time I lived in Vancouver and it was actually a season that took a couple of months, very strange. An endless succession of different things blooming and making you sneeze.
I smiled every second of this. Rachel you are a big hug of a human and gosh darned it i couldn't love you more. Thank you
Every season can have its own balloon sleeves. We've got Spring terrarium already, Summer could be brighter flowers, Autumn is obviously going to be pumpkins, and then Winter would be snowglobe sleeves (and an excuse for sparkly!).
Fairy lights in the sleeves to make it look like fireflies in the forest foliage. I couldn't stop thinking of this while you did your sleeves 🌿✨ Can't wait for more of these puffy sleeve adventures 💚
Fireflies! Fireflies! Fireflies!
Our autumn queen making spring content? We are blessed 🙌 ♥️
I would love to see a months worth of montage of you wearing only clothing you have made to different places or even just around the house.
Rachel: "I kinda wanna make pumpkin sleeves for autumn."
Me: YES PLEASE!
Id love to see some sleeves like this for summer too if you have the time :)
"Inaugural" was right, Spring absolutely is an INSTITUTION (especially after a long and difficult winter like the last one) :)
Rachel: "Enough with the boring stuff"
Me: EVERYTHING YOU DO IS PERFECT AND LOVELY AND ENTERTAINING AND IT WILL NEVER BE BORING YOU BEAUTIFUL FAE HUMAN
That's exactly me every time she says something like that! We love our beautiful chaotic fae queen :D
The way my soul left my body in excitement of pumpkin sleeves - obviously it’s her channel and life but if this doesn’t happen I may be devastated.
I love how Rachel can set the tone for every video by the way she says 'hello' at the start.
The 'hem' or bottom of the bodice reminds me of the calyx of a flower.... so it's perfect!
I got lily pad vibes from the hem.
I thought so too!
I loved them hem too.
I think it's great too! I've seen way worse hems on clothing in stores 😭
When she said "hot, hot garbage" I literally started giggling. 😁
Love Rachel's commentary ❤️👏🤗
"I'm not going to rage quit!" I want that on a t-shirt! Love the sleeves!
me !
POV: You’re Rachel creating an entire merch store with the motto *“Perseverance and Perspiration”* as your company slogan.
POV: You’re a loyal fan now purchasing said merch. The hoodie arrives. You are eternally happy and have been cured of your depression.
*and scene*
"I like the *idea* of Spring" - Me sitting in Canada in -9 weather in April. I felt that, Rachel, I felt that... 😂
As someone who's having a tough mental week, putting foliage in your hair definitely helps! Went to a dress-as-the-first-letter-of-your-name party as the concept of Autumn... There were many leaves and it was heavenly
Rachel: and pretend that we are...
me: Forest nymphs!
Rachel: Fae of the wood, that's correct!
me: eh, close enough
Well, my brain went to bog person, so you are closer than me 😁
I was thinking pixies and fairy’s
a tulle for the outer layer would hold shape with a softer fabric under wont be as scratchy, and you would be able to see the foliage better. you could put a couple stitches to hold the layers together. ribbon around the edges would help the scratchyness too.
my brain immeadtiently jumped to Hobbits!
"okay" was my guess but fae is fine as well 😂
I love the terrarium sleeves, and the whole final look too.😍🥰🤩
◊ Suggestion for designing new sleeves:
- daisy sleeves 🌼✨ (for spring);
-sleeves of shells, small whelks and seaweed 🐚🏖 (for summer);
-sleeves with rainbow, clouds and lots of glitter on the fabric of the sleeves 🌈☁✨ (for summer);
-pumpkin sleeves 🎃 (for autumn or halloween);
-sleeves with autumn leaves (orange, red and yellow) 🍁;
sleeves with snowflakes and littles stars (for winter)❄⭐;
You have so many comments already, but I couldn't resist adding one of my own: You are an amazing creator, and I LOVE THIS!!!!! I do appreciate your humility/honesty when you explain what did and didn't work the way you expected. And it just makes me admire your artistry all the more.
Please make a matching skirt! It would look so good! Like a forest princess dress. Really love this!
Okay, this is my official petition for both “floor troll” and “floral troll” merch!
I would soooo buy those!!!!
I add my signature PLEASE
Mmmyes. I think yes
Totally adding my signature to this
I, a floor troll, add my signature
this is like literally high fashion 😳 i would expect to see this on the runway!!
Umm I would have never thought of this in a million billion years, and it is adorable!! I know little to nothing about making puffy sleeves.... But I had the thought that maybe if the inside layer was smaller then the outside layer, then they might stay up a little more and possibly be puffier looking? Just an idea! Great work Rachel!
I cant get over how much I love the brown hair, it’s very woodland elf! ❤️🌿🍄
This is so freaking creative and cute!! Pumpkin sleeves would definitely be an awesome autumn project. You could also do rain cloud sleeves and have tiny jewels handing off as water droplets
That sounds amazing!
Aaaand *yoink* I will be pilfering that rain cloud sleeve idea for myself, thank you very much. (Like seriously adorable idea, genius!)
I applaud your patience with sewing on the leaves! The terrarium sleeves are such an unexpected concept- I cant believe you just came up with it so quickly! You surprise us every week, cause sometimes you think the project won't come together- but then it does AND it's so much better than I can imagine! Also, please sing the praises of your content more- cause it's awesome!
”Go back in there, like Leos twin in Man with the Iron mask” such an obscure reference❤️love it and love the sleeves too!
I'd love to make a yellow dandelion one with a yellow bodice and skirt!
"If you're mediocre, stick to what you know."
But! As Jake the dog from Adventure Time said, "sucking at something is the first step towards being sorta good at something." Or as my dad used to say, "practice makes you less mediocre over time and eventually you may even think you're kind of good." I thought your sleeves looked GREAT, so my opinion is that they can only just keep getting better :)
Ok please forgive me for not watching on Friday. It WAS HARD. But my granddaughters were here and we were happy and doin stuff. I saved it purposely for later in the week when I knew I would need the uplift. YOU SO DELIVERED. This was AWESOME. I am so happy you were happy with it. It was a TRUE JOY to watch. You are a joy to watch, all the time. You, as a creator, are simply my favorite to watch. You are a joy! Thank you for being you. I know, pretty difficult to be someone else, but ya know Thank you. Can't wait till Friday, just me and the husband, so will be watching, then or Saturday morning. Have a great rest of your week.🤗🤗
"Perseverance and Perspiration" I would totally buy a perch shirt that said that!
Pretending to be a fae of the wood is also one of my favorite activities. I love the way your mind works! Using unconventional materials like this in my projects is something I really enjoy doing as well. I absolutely adore how these sleeves turned out. You're always such an inspiration!
OMG, only you would do* this. 🌟
Edit: After thinking, I have to wonder what this would look like with a dark academia look. Tweed vest, fabric book/diary pages written using fabric paint/Luma dye for the ink... And some ephemera (autumn leaves, "pressed" autumn flowers, etc.) added in for interest. If you could find your original balloon sleeves, or possible the leg-o'-mutton sleeves from that pattern... The pic in my head looks hella cute. If that was my aesthetic, and if I could pull it off, I'd try making it myself!
Hehe this is the random cozy cottagecore sewing diy fashion content I can always rely on you for
love the pumpkin sleeves idea! maybe a "fish bowl" sleeves would be cute too, like blue fabric with little fish and plants like in a fish bowl (maybe felt fish? ooo and a lil castle would be super cute) thrn the same kind of fabric you used here to 'encase' it all!
F 🙏🏽
My jaw dropped at the reveal!! They are such a vibe and I’m a sucker for puffy sleeves. Please make giant pumpkin sleeves for fall!!! 🎃🎃🎃
I am LIVING for the idea of chunky pumpkin/jack-o'-lantern sleeves 🎃
Singing "I will not rage quit, Not Today!" In a cheerful barely keeping the rage at bay voice is so relatable. I'm glad you persevered and it turned out lovely!
Oh my, this is absolutely magical! What a fun concept that you brought to life perfectly!! I am also hugely in favor of this becoming a little series
Such a great idea to use a "crystal" organza fabric for those sleeves! Love it!
So many feels in this video!
Mural?! 😚 No mural?! 🥺 Terrarium sleeves?! 😍
Why stick to “original plans” when the “made this up as I went along” plans are so MARVELOUS?!
I can’t wait for the mural.....🦋 the one in the old house was so beautiful
I love how at first they look like basic but cute white poofy sleeves but then suddenly PLANTS!
Edit: please please please make the giant pumpkin sleeves for fall!
PUMPKIN SLEEVES!!!!!
Pumpkin sleeves!! Pumpkin sleeves!!
Yaassss
I absolutely love your creativity! I feel like you create magic with your projects, as if they come straight from the pages of a storybook! These are lovely 😍
Besides everything I just want to point out that the hair and those greens is a BOMB 😍😍❤️❤️ You look absolutely gorgeous!!!
lovely video! it would be cool to see sleeves for every season! maybe summer could have butterfly sleeves and winter you could do snowflake or snow globe sleeves! another video idea would be a radagast the brown recreation like your gandalf video! that's one of my all time favorite videos and i think it might be a good spring video. thanks so much for putting all this effort and work into your videos! you're amazing!
8:30 oh wow it looks so Tinkerbell!!! And now I need to see a whole outfit inspired by her please
No no no no but the hem looks like a curled up leaf!!!! It's absolutely adorable and perfect for spring
rachel, utterly sincere: you know what they say, 'if you're mediocre, stick to what you know!'
me, freezing mid-seam-rip while i redo the alterations to my thrifted wedding guest dress: yes but you didn't have to SAY THAT
your channel is my comfort watch and without it i wouldn't have dared to alter this at ALL (even though they're very simple fixes). thank you for your content and your sheer exuberant chaotic energy!!
WOOHOO!! Weekend can officially start with Rachel awesomeness!!
I’m thankful for your channel. When I’m feeling down, your personality, and wonderful art brings me back up. Thank you so much. Really. You are doing good with this channel
I second this so much! There are many ways to bring good into this world, and Rachel should not underestimate the beautiful impact she has on all of us! Such creativity, inspiration and laughter!
This turned out way cuter than I expected in the beginning. I love the end results!!
I think there would be a way you could make a subtle opening on the inside layer so you could change what was in the terrarium to suit your mood. [Just make the inner sleeve in two parts, hemmed and overlapped a little, fastening may not be needed] What would I put inside? Little felt Star Wars figures battling? Dinosaur skeleton silhouettes? Glow-in-the-dark stars? Sequinned fish? Christmas ornaments? I’m just thinking of every small flattish object in my house now… I’d be tempted to make it with a really transparent outer layer, maybe fine black net, and an opaque inner layer, possibly a bright coloured satin - something nice to wear against the skin but providing a good contrast for whatever scenes were in front. Maybe an ombre shading from green up to blue so it could be sky or water. Very inspiring! Great job! :-). Another tip for puffed sleeves generally - if you make the inner sleeve layer shorter and more fitted than the outer, it encourages the outer sleeve to poof and saves you from the dreaded droop & slide. [insert new spark of inspiration] And you need a big swishy skirt with the same fabrics making a deep pocket hem, so you can have larger scenes. I’m thinking Lego wars here. Or origami fairy tales. I really want one of these! Aargh! Too many ideas!
First off, the sleeves look dazzling! 🌿
Second, yes to the pumpkin sleeves please! 🎃
It is giving me snowwhite in "leasurewear" hanging out in the woods vibes. Looks cute!
Frodo dashing back and forth in the background is EVERYTHING ❤❤❤❤❤
Consider how many instagram artists I’ve seen do this design with leaves and water to see someone ACTUALLY MAKE IT! Is insane! You did such a great job Rachel and I can’t wait to see your next project!
Rachel looking absolutely adorable and princessy in the reveal gave me the happiest flutters!
And I think mermaid lagoon would be so sweetly fitting for some balloony "sea foam bubbles" sleeves
What an awesome idea!!! ❤
"Perseverance... and perspiration."

Between the wig and dress silhouette, I see Snow White. Your creativity is amazing. Sewing is (to me) a mystical thing and it's fun to watch the process.
The wig and the sleeves and the neckline together give me mad Snow White vibes. I love it. You did such a good job!
