I Made a "Merlin Monroe" Costume *forgive me lol*
Рет қаралды 242,736
Күн бұрынListen, when a good pun appears in front of you, you MUST seize the opportunity. When I saw the words 'Merlin Monroe', not only did I have a hearty chuckle and knee slap, but I knew that I had to bring it to life.
So alas, combining Marilyn Monroe with Merlin, this creation was born.
I REGRET NOTHING.
Anywho, please enjoy this journey of boiling living room temperatures, endless fabric fraying and horrible sunburns.
LOVE YA!

I was looking to see if anybody else aside from me had immediately fallen in love with and happily adopted that particular wonderfully quirky neologism!! 😆 It's giving definite shades of the Aussie slang for Speedos ("banana hammock" or "budgie smugglers") 😂 Heheh yeah, I'd have to say Rachel and Ariel (of Hazariel Designs) are perhaps the costubers who I feel are most "approachable" in terms of coming up with truly crazy ideas and having relatable mishaps along the way? 😋 Although Morgan Donner's "shenanigan pants" are still one of my v fave designs in terms of madcap creativity & general coolness!

If you are ever in the mood to torture yourself with that fabric again, a small tip. A heated craftknife - aka a woodburner with an exacto blade tip does wonders for cutting it out and sealing your cut lines in one move by fusing that edge. I usually work over sacrificial cardboard with it because it will melt my cutting mat, occasionally I'll do a silicone mat but those can be cut by the blade itself and I don't like damaging them in that way. I do keep a silicone mat nearby so I can set the tool down safely while it's hot.
@Amelia-pp4wm 3 күн бұрын
That does sound safer than my approach, which is to light a candle and then slowly pass the cut edge through the heat column to melt the cut edges so they fuse. It's not super precise, but it does feel satisfying 😅

Another Rachel classic! A tip on the bulky gathering: your gathers will lay much flatter and give a less cupcakey skirt if you make them smaller. I love gathering by hand, and I make my stitches about 1/4” wide. Looking at those technique, I’m guessing your gathers verge on 1/2”, which makes them bulky, unable to lay flat, and more likely to have pieces of the skirt get stuck in the seam distorting the skirt further ❤️

It's definitely giving "beautiful bearded lady in the circus."

I’ve been watching Rachel for a very long time, and this was one of the best videos- def one of your top ten! I love how you just show us it’s totally okay to play and be as whimsical as we wanna be. In hard times, Rachel always pulls through to make things fun. the sewing video/costume pun format is one of my favorite kinds of her videos ❤❤

This mashup is absolutely the best thing on KZfaq. Please Miss, may I have some more?
