HELLO MY LOVES!! Captions will be up first thing tomorrow, I hope you have a safe & happy halloween!!!!!!

The fact that Binx made more appearances in this month's videos than they have in the entirety of videos I've watched in the past two years confirms it: Binx is also a Hobgoblin of Spooktober

"none ya business!" Had me rolling. I haven't laughed that hard in a long time.

"NONE YA BUSINESS!" Rachel, you must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you.

The way she said NUNYA BUSINESS makes me laugh so hard every time it sounds like an old witch of the woods from a Disney movie and I love it

"What do ya look like... underneath the mask?" "NUN YA BUISNESS" Lmao I screamedd

Please tell Binx we are so proud of her for new found camera confidence

The ghosts in the graveyard: “weird girl is back! Myrtle, come look!”

I adore how comfortable she is with telling her viewers all the blood, sweat, and tears going into her projects; Instead of skipping through the struggle cause it is about the journey then the destination. You deserve so much love dear and I hope your Halloween went well.

I must say, Rachel's version of the "person slowly goes mad after a series of never-ending setbacks" storyline is much more classy and civilized than Stephen King's. Jack Torrance could NEVER.

"NUNYA BUSINESS!" honestly if a Skellington yells that at me, I'm runnin' - clearly I am about to be hexed

What's this, WHAT'S THIS?! Your costume turned out SOOO GOOD! (I especially loved the custom paint color ;) ) Happy Halloween!

Me going “I bet you could have pad stitched the collar” when I know damn well I have never pad stitched a collar a DAY in my LIFE. Too much Bernadette Banner for the week. 😂

Progression of Rachel’s style is just sleeves getting gradually larger and poofier

Now I'm going to constantly imagine Gandalf shouting "THIS TOO SHALL PASS!" whenever I'm on the floor devoid of life

Rachel: I’m lucky someone sent me this frikin amazing fabric. My mum, from across the room: Is it earth tones?

"There's just something about balloon sleeves." Rachel is Anne Shirley, confirmed. 😉

"I am not a special effects artist" literally won the NYX face awards for being a special effects artist

I adore the fact that while everyone else is using generators for phones, lights and maybe small appliances, you used yours to run a sewing machine. That's dedication. The puffed sleeves are fabulous! Great job! Happy Halloween!

"Stress cry" lol. I get that. Once I was at a workshop and my project broke near the end of the day and I told the instructor, "I just need to go have a meltdown real quick, I'll be back in a few minutes". Your project ultimately turned out much better than mine did!

"What do you look like under the mask?" "Mask? What mask?!" You're freakin' adorable, Rachel.

The fact that you just kept going with this project even without power to your house is amazing. You’re so committed to this work and I’m so proud of you!

Hot tip for someone who was without an iron and desperately needed one: heating a flat bottomed pot or pan with a bit of water in it and then using it as you would an iron. Works surprisingly well! Of course, only really works if you have a gas range or a gloriously large fireplace haha

1. So proud of you for doing so much with no power! Seriously impressive. 2. Ballon sleeves are life, more balloon sleeves! I loved seeing the crazy amount of fabric that goes into them lol 3. We love the references! 4. I'm just so proud because I've been watching your channel for a loooong time and seeing how much more confident you are with sewing and how good you've gotten???? Like??? Amazing. 5. I teach 8th grade and those teens at the end would've gotten a Look from me.

1. This is definitely one of my most favorite looks Rachel has done thus far. 2. She may have cringed at her response to the heckling teens, but I say WTF to their question. It wasn't clever at all even in a rude way.

If you’re ever stuck for an iron, hair straighteners are lover powered and work well for small areas near edges! It’s saved me many times at work or when traveling!

I appreciate how you include the unpleasant moments of being a creator, even if that means an embarrassing interaction with teenagers.

When Rachel goes "not everything went as planned but it's fine" we all go GOOOOD ENOUUUGH

Kudos to you for taking on a 26 piece pattern. Girl, you crazy. The costume turned out spectacular. We all appreciate you sharing your talents with us.🧡🖤🎃💀👻🧡

As a sfx professional I would like to say the (depending on how much time the director wants to give us) we tend to use whatever we can get our hands on lol so keep on with what you’re doing ♥️

This is our family’s favorite video you have ever done. My wife is very impressed that you matched up the stripes on the bodice. My daughter is impressed with your sense of humor under stress. Know that you’re inspiring a generation as to how to handle disaster. Happy spooky time.

Rachel as she shot the final reveal giving some wonderful Jim Carrey's Grinch vibes and I am _here_ for it!!

The authenticity of your pets just Always. Being. In. The. Way. makes your videos so cozy and relatable! It turned out wonderful like always!

RACHEL. THIS IS FABULOUS. "Lol nope" - who cares if it's not a couple days before Halloween. We're just happy to see you.

Rachel: *cries for a half hour while the universe throws obstacles at her* Rachel: And we have ~fun~ here! I mean, yes? But also, I just couldn't help thinking that maybe getting this out by Halloween was just not as important as catching a dang break.

I love that Binx has been less camera shy lately. She's such a sweet, beautiful girl. I always enjoy seeing her. 🙂

I absolutely love the disheveled Rachel at the end. Your energy is the embodiment of all of us makers and sewists when we pull off a successful project! The Happiest of Halloweens to you!

Hey, you know that when you're feeling overwhelmed its also very okay not to post and that If you feel you have to post something to feed the algorithm, I'd also be happy to watch a one take of your cat running around or something. Maybe a first person view of your cat as it torments your sewing projects? :D

I'm honestly surprised someone hasn't employed you for special effects on a low-budget/student horror movie yet. You do such fantastic work on short time frames and little money!

I loved the symphony of orange and green at the beginning. And whoa nellie, does that 1890s silhouette look GOOOOOOD on you!

Thank you Jill and Blaine!! That was an amazing gift not just the Rachel but to our whole community 🤍

that brown sweater and suspenders look was giving me "1950s fisherman, who lives in a bar near the pier, and is married to the sea"....-vibes...in the best way possible

Youths: " I wanna see what you look like under the mask" What Rachel should have said : " what mask?

Love the Sassy Skellington Rachel! I would've just turned toward those teenagers very slowly and said "What mask?"

Distracted comment: I think Binx knew you're having a rough day, that's why she kept wandering near you.. ☺

I love it. 1890s sleeves are goals. It really is a statement and that statement is "look upon my sleeves, ye mighty, and despair".

Rachel is the quintessential definition of the word 'cozy'.

"So, I took my already terrifying mannequin head." Me looking over at my own terrifying mannequin head sitting on my kitchen table. Terrifying indeed, but great for using when you're styling a wig.

That clip of Schmidt from New Girl absolutely sent me - “Youths!” - I was dying laughing, crying, wheezing, the silent rock back and forth while you hold your elbows and trying to compose myself enough to explain to my husband what was going on only to continue lapsing into fits of cackling hysterics at the hilarity of explaining what you were doing, what the hecklers were saying and the clip of Schmidt. I have only just recovered enough to write this comment.

I really appreciate seeing your tiny screaming gremlin more! Her incessant prrrmowww is so precious.

I love how your dog just randomly disrupts things by running across your patterns 😂😭

“It’s just attaching them to each other” yes Rachel, this is sewing 😂😂💕

My wife watches your work religiously and i just wanted to stop by and say that it was very cool, and brave, and important, and good that you were open like you were about some of the difficulties you were having during this project, and presented them in a way that underscores the fact that it's okay to process hard things in your own way, and that you don't need other peoples' permission to accomodate yourself as much as you need to get through it, regardless of the circumstances or the difficulty at-hand, and it wasn't something to be ashamed of. The dress/costuming was great, don't get me wrong, but that one quick aside was one of the most quietly powerful sequences i've seen in a create/reveal video, and i think it's going to affect a lot of people in a positive way. Bout to well up over here just thinking about it lol

I felt extremely called out by "a closet full of costumes and nothing to wear" as I sit in my driveway with the candy bowl in a kigurumi because I couldn't find anything to wear

The long pause overlaid with "i don't remember what reference i was going to make" had me cackling 😂 also this looks great omg!!!!!

I love that this was "a mess", it's so real. It was still super fun, and I really enjoyed it. Thanks for putting it out there, and for doing what you do.

Having somewhat followed your whole ordeal on Instagram, it took no more than "Welcome to the *actual* 1800s" to have me in stitches - it definitely can't have been fun to live through, but rest assured your cursed week made for one hell of an entertaining video (also the thunder rumble on the day three title card was *chef's kiss*)

The fact that you managed to do this with minimal electricity options is ama-zing! I hope that it never happens again for your sake. The whole ensemble is really cute!

I love how you live in the moment! Even when things are going wrong, you stop to admire the good things! 😀

I can only bow in front of your determination to finish this project despite the Fate being agaisnt you. You are my sewing godess Rachel. And this costume is pure Halloween magic ! And the Pumpkin Lady was perfect for the role.

Binx really said, “Frodo has had it too good for too long. It’s my time to SHINE.”

I love how much Binx wants to be in the videos the passed few weeks x) She's such a cutie! Also Rachel laying on the floor with all the pattern pieces regretting all of her life's decision is 100% relatable x)

I don't know if you'll see this but I've been binge watching your videos for about a week now while I work and they are so relaxing to me and help me destress. You also have inspired me to be more confident in myself when I start making videos. So thank you so much!

Anytime I get cat called from now on, I will 100% be using Rachel’s ol timey, “NON YA BUSINESS!”. They’ll never see it coming.

Rachel really had no power, freezing cold temps and meltdowns and still put out a Halloween treat for us with an incredible costume?! We are so grateful 🎃💖

“Am I making a lot of references in this video?” It’s okay. You’re stressed Rachel. Those are your emotional support references.

I love how, living about an hour north, I can pretty much guess what gets filmed on what day by the weather in the background... also, now I kinda want to see Rachel use that mask to do a take on Skeletor (mostly 'cause I think she's do a good impression of him...)

I sew crafty things. I read the instructions, cut the pattern carefully, iron every thing then...two months later I'm finished! Tah Dah! You are so free when you sew. You cut your fabric with a vengence and a few days later...a remarkable and fantastic outfit. I dream of sewing and crafting like you. Thank you for all your videos and good luck with the move.

Did Rachel really just have a "squirrel!" moment with an actual squirrel on her lawn? lol - love you, Rachel!

I admire how energy-saving your mood is, it's so interesting to witness in a midst of high-energy KZfaqrs.

Old timey spooky girl is such a vibe

The chaotic gremlin energy of that "Non-ya Business" was palpable!

I was Classic Jack Skellington this year, now I wish we'd met and done the *two spider-men pointing at each other* meme lol

Loved every moment of this, but “Noneya business!” literally made me laugh out loud!

“NUN-YA BUSNIESS” Papyrus 100% the energy, EVERYTHING

Your mom is always a solid and classic comeback

I had so much sympathy for you and your struggles with keeping on a schedule through uncontrollable circumstances. You did amazing! I don't know if it takes less power than your iron, but I've used my hair straightener for emergency crafting /seam pressing when I ran out of flat surfaces to work on.

"NONE YA BIZNESS" has me cackling and I love it

I really want to see like a costume/cosplay through the years where you go over most of the things you’ve made since the beginning of your sewing journey

I'm so proud of you for actually finishing this project despite everything that came your way! It turned out absolutely fabulous 😍

i appreciate the brief voiceover for cats, my cat was giving her full attention to the process there!

“Youths!” 😂 your “comeback” was hilarious and probably more witty than I could have come up with if you can believe it 😅 Also, wonderful execution on this project!! You certainly captured Tim Burton’s style with this. I especially admired the bustle (right?). Loved this.

That smile during the reveal was everything! You look so happy and giddy Rachel!

"There are few things in this life that I am extremely passionate about: Carbs, videos of baby chimpanzees, and 1890s sleeves." Well, it rhymes so it must be true!

Rachel - the most endearing and likable KZfaqr. 🎃

I spent my Cape Cod nor'easter blackout contemplating the meaning of life... Reached no conclusion, but I'm glad someone used the best of their time!

This channel is so amazing! So cozy and interesting. Makes me wanna start sewing and crafts again.

I enjoyed watching this so much. The act that you completed all you did with so many days without 'lectricity blows my mind. Skuld of to you!!! Chef's kiss and applause, you rock!!!!!

Proper response to the hackling would be "What Mask?".

You make willingly falling into the creativity abyss so much more enjoyable

Fun life hack for ironing without power, if you have a gas stove you can put a pot with a little water on heat for like 2 min then use the bottom of the pot to iron. I'd also recommend putting an old sheet or something down too in case your pot bottom is nasty.. no judgement.

Rachel you’re just.. a beast for completing this project and editing it into a masterpiece. Chefs kiss to you! Right on the cheek!!!!

You deserve a big break after this! Edit: just finished watching and SERIOUSLY DUDE TAKE A BREAK YOU WORKED SO STINKIN HARD AND IT TURNED OUT SO GOOOOOD

Ah, a great way to wrap up my Halloween (it's technically past midnight now, but I say it's Halloween until I go to sleep ;) ) thanks, Rachel! 🎃💀✨

Every time you start making a prop I'm like "hm, I don't know about this one", then you paint it and suddenly it looks awesome and _real_!

I just want to say that your honesty with all the problems for the project, your "this is what I'm planning to do to today but I'm going to do my best and if I don't get that all done it's okay. I did my best" energy is really reassuring.

Oh damn...she did it! And we weren't ready! Rachel Maksy ...everyone hail our Pumpkin Queen🤯💙💙💙🎃🎃🎃

This is the first time i have seen someone make a skull mask vs painting. I love the mask idea.

This is just so incredibly impressive, and the fact that you did most of it without having power is just crazy!

The 'blanket of acceptance' is super real. Mine would always descend during standstill traffic jams. I'd listen to classical music and drink my coffee and just ✨️ BE ✨️
