How to make a Steampunk Outfit, Threadbanger

[@BabyScarecrow]

I miss the old threadbanger :( this was when I started to learn how to sew and Threadbanger always gave me great ideas. Now the channel is just videos of Rob doing drunk food and bleeding - which is fun sometimes, but not what Threadbanger was all about. I'd be nice to see more tutorials on sewing and crafting again.

[@artemisiapersephone]

yeah i think the same missing the old threadbanger

[@iqlimayasmin4039]

BabyScarecrow and Rob now swears literally every 5 seconds

[@ThreadBanger]

I'm so glad we have been such a positive influence on you! Thanks for you comment, you made my day.

[@kyril9697]

I suddenly went to this video and I heard "This is a family show." Is it bad that I snorted when I heard that?

[@ThreadBanger]

Definitely, we have a series just for costumes every year!

[@nadiayvonne3933]

Rob : "this is a family show!" Me: YOUR SO FUCKIN FUNNY!

[@redacted526]

that's Funny

[@emailnolongerinuse3157]

N4dia you *'re* not the only one that thought of that! theyre so different now

[@ThreadBanger]

You can. It might take a few tries, but you can.

[@ThreadBanger]

Good idea, we're looking into it.

[@ThreadBanger]

If you don't want to dress completely steampunk, you can always incorporate some of it's ideas into your style. For example, putting some old clock parts on clothing. It can be as simple as that.

[@rabbitscantcount5696]

"Family show" Say that in 7 years....

[@Lafronteravictoriana]

Great nerdy show and ideas! Well done indeed!

[@marlinah5857]

6 years late club! 🙋

[@angelusmortis8142]

I guess I'm in too...

[@caldera99]

hey me too

[@DippypantsGamesnStuff]

7yrs late

[@Sharei32]

I don't care how old this video is, you guys are both super inspiring and really helpful! I already have the image of the coolest steampunk outfit ever inside my head %D

[@M3Mys3lfandMus1c]

Holy Guacamole! o: I'm just now seeing this??

[@Zalerinae0491]

I found an amazing 70s edwardian revival dress at goodwill a few weeks back. I paired that with a leather steampunk corset off etsy with a top hat and goggles that I also got off etsy. I have some other awesome accessories that I have as well. Best bet for those who can't sew at all is to go thrifting. I also found an awesome top that would work too.

[@moony006]

OMG, I love you guys for making this! It's so useful and inspirating!

[@MegaBookWormGirl]

It's elegance, intelligence, whimsy and polished grit all in one. What's not to love?

[@pisila18]

you can buy elastic/stretchy thread and just use that as you would regular thread. You can get elastic thread at any fabric/sewing store.

[@galliantgames]

Nice work with this DIY. Steampunk enthusiasts are all about creating their own fashions and this is a simple way to do so. #steampunkfashion

[@msgio823]

Steampunk is never over. I'm actually working on a steampunk costume for this weekend and for a convention in August.

[@KittyCatDressUp]

Sure, look up "cogs" or "clock parts" on ebay, there are tons there, I found a 5oz pack for about £10. I take apart old clocks aswell which is fun and gives lots of cogs and gears. Be sure to get some old wind up ones if you're planning to do this though as modern clocks use plastic gears which aren't as cool looking.

[@missevavavoom]

I am blown away by your talent.

[@saraswati81]

that was the best vid from you guys, ever! i'm gonna have to look at it again closely cos there's an endless amount of awesome links i didn't know about! lol corinne has come a long way from shirt cutting to making that impressive piece. i don't think i have it in me!

[@irishdevil]

Awesome stuff. I love cross overs between my two favorite web shows!

[@RyuuseiRosuto]

@rodiansinger you dont have to wear a corset in order to be steampunk. the rule of thumb i think for just about any style is make it your own, and any tutorials or instructions are simply guidelines. try vests, or sometimes just a steampunk style shirt without anything over it can look good. keep trying on diffrent things until you feel comfortable about what your wearing. good luck!

[@AmyAberrant]

The second-hand shop corset was so cute! The Louise Black ones were stunning I really want them but must cost a fortune :(

[@kitsunehoruri]

@rodiansinger steampunk is a "what if" kind of thing. Basically look at it this way: What if Victorian technology, styles and sensibilities continued on into the future (now or even further), shake a little science fiction on it, then apply it to everyday objects that we have now. That's a very simplified way of looking at it but you get the idea.

[@Tealkun]

OLD KZbin

[@comedicbeans6361]

IKR THEY HAD ADS IN THE VIDEOOOOO

[@arkadyrex5305]

For windows vista of all things.

[@LittlefemboyLevi]

thanks for putting this up looks like i be going to good will and shop for stuff to use

[@darkfairie17]

I love this!! Once I get a new sewing machine I will be sure to try this!!

[@featheredskyblue]

@marisinging You could pretty easily use the mens' shirt for everyday wear, if you were so inclined. You could also wear the blouse and corset combination with a pair of pants. It just depends on what you're comfortable wearing in public and what sort of garments you make.

[@oxnard332]

@yourfairygothmother in the very bottom right corner, there's a button with an upside down triangle in a rectangle box. Scroll over it, and 2 more rectangles should show up. Click on the top (first) rectangle that looks like a turning page that says "Turn Off Annotations". and btw I COMPLETELY AGREE

[@halcyonlurker]

This is amazing, love the bustle and the links esp...

[@tinkkiou]

woo that was a really good one, that dress is crazy

[@leftyliz140]

I've never been completely aware of what steampunk is until now. And I must say that, being someone with a love of costumes, I LOVE it!!! *singing* Ruuule Britannia, Britannia rule the skies!

[@SweetZyrah]

this is one of my favorite tutorial :D

[@TheSnakeOfSkyands]

Dang I remember watching this so long ago and this was the first video I saw from you guys

[@b4thestephera]

i loved this episode! got me thinking about halloween costumes too

[@craftiestcraftstress]

Thank you so much for the inspiration youve given me a reason to pull out my dusty old sewing machine once again

[@evilbarb]

I really like the steampunk look. Have you guys ever thought about doing a 1930's, Carnivale- depression look show? It also lends itself well to the d.i.y thang!

[@PurpleCowsMakeGJ]

Okay. :) I'll try that! :D Do I use standard threads or do I need stronger threads? thank you, btw. :)

[@xBrokenLoverx]

Corinne have her own channel and have made a tutorial for real corsets but this corset she used for dressing steampunk and I guess if you're only wearing a corset for dressing up it doesn't realy need boning since it's probably only going to be used a few times

[@amyyi4946]

Seven years late club! Ha! Beat you!

[@sugarcube6497]

wooooooo!!!!

[@alienlover6663]

lol

[@dumbass7030]

I'm 8 years late

[@Vampkiki]

@AltairBaker try buying patterns....everything from historical patterns off of ebay to costume recreations in walmart....though i found most of the ones on ebay are a fraction of what a store would have sold them for....for easier items...make a paper pattern with the general idea of what you need and save a few bucks....i.e. made patterns for my vest and bloomers and capes that way....few sheets of paper and some tape....then pin to and cut out your fabric like normal

[@MissySancha]

Woah, never knew what Steampunk was before this. Pretty awesome:D

[@2degucitas]

Yeah, I steampunked some old swim masks. My kids thought I was nuts. They look cool!

[@SammersM]

@Vampkiki The real question is, what made you think it was a good idea to assume you knew what question I was answering?

[@Oyukidono]

I like how you described your thoughts on what Steampunk actually "is". :) I have trouble explaining it to people who haven't heard of it before. I usually end up saying something to the effect of it's old west meets gears and lots of copper and gold color accents. LOL I think it can be so much more then just that though. But still - I always start with the old western patterns as a base for my own work and move on from there. Ty for posting this video! I enjoyed watching it very much. :D

[@Vampkiki]

@SquirrelyLilBugger one the idea of a raygun was written in the books i refered to (20,000 leagues under the sea); two it is the probable evolution of it... and three i responded to where you asked what it was...and finally four ray variations are in at least experimental stages as of right now (aka we making x-ray technologies into smaller weapon usage)...its like saying laser guns from star wars are impossible...yet we actually have those...

[@sooth15]

Great job, Corinne!

[@PurpleCowsMakeGJ]

Standard Issue Line? :o I'm sorry, could you elaborate? I'm kind of new to this crafty jargon. :D But I do know that I got some plans for these awesome trinkets.

[@hubertcubeart]

where can you get sheets of black leather to make clothes with

[@SaiiiiiiSaiiiii]

For the bustle, what kind of wire would you suggest in particular? I've been looking for a good wire that's strong and will be able to support a heavy skirt.

[@edstella]

Man, I wish you guys could've extended Steam Punk Week! As in... Ya know, seven full episodes of it...

[@Turtletoots3]

they should show how to make those cool hats cause i've always wanted one.

[@spookyoyster4014]

Just glue some gears on it and call it steeeeeampunk...

[@lucia4deth]

@Elewyn Draculaclothing they have a lot of pretty steampunk things. They have the aviator googles. I hope this helps you :)

[@Mccalen3]

what music and dans is that?=) just wondering because steampunk style is awsome=)love it

[@bleachsanchoblastk]

ide like to see more steampunk how tos on you tube.mabe another steampunk week?

[@Vampkiki]

@SquirrelyLilBugger no i clarified the basic idea of steampunk theory...i never said i thought or agreed with an idea that modern technology was in any way inferior to past technologies....

[@OpieTheRipper]

Is it safe to put all the cog'ed shirts in your Washer? Or do you have to wash if differently?

[@hehheh9288]

I love the old threadbanger (and the new stuff too, but for different reasons) does anyone know some channels with similar content to the older stuff?

[@Vampkiki]

@SquirrelyLilBugger and no there was no link to what you replied to ..but it doesn't matter

[@ElectricAceXi]

Insanely helpful and wicked amazing you all!! THANK YOU!

[@SammersM]

@kortanaelite How are raygun designs going back exactly? I don't get it.

[@lunatiri]

Silly question but for the men's shirt how do you work it around you seeing machine to prevent seeing the front to the back?

[@Mary_Zacarias]

i know i'm a girl, but i kind of like the men's tutorial shirt better. it's something i could wear everyday, and will look great for fall. and maybe a cute parasol too.

[@valleyguy1123]

I just found out about steampunk and god! I have always liked Victorian fashion and now I love Steampunk -3

[@GenevaCat]

go to a thrift store and see if they have any busted old watches and things. there's bound to be some gears and stuff you can take there

[@elliethedragonqueen197]

Hey Corinne, how long did you leave your clothes in the tea bath for?

[@Vampkiki]

@SquirrelyLilBugger you were clearly asking a question not answering one- " How are raygun designs going back exactly? I don't get it." see the question mark ....that means question....not answer. and these comment boxes are for anyone to comment or answer...otherwise if your so touchy...use and instant message to the specfic intended receiver.

[@Threedaysofsilence]

How do you rouch and make the petticoat??????

[@blackrooftops]

can you guys please show us how to make some halloween costumes ? please and thanks !

[@Vampkiki]

@sapiensgirl just fyi they already have been selling it for a few years now

[@LetsPlayFede]

Is there any tutorial for a steampunk aviator helmet?

[@PrincessKahara]

How did you make the petticoat? I want to make one!

[@PurpleCowsMakeGJ]

How do you ruch up skirts?

[@muffystopheles]

Hey guys - this just might be youtube messing up, or my computer, but from 1:08 to about 1:16 then the screen turns white, and prompts that you enter text. This lasts until about 1:31. It doesn't happen again though.=]

[@themegatron3981]

family show on what freaking world

[@gabeyraymond]

Either You guys our your buddies BFX should try the steam punk armor idea, which is usually based on Post Apocalyptic War. Like light metal shoulder plates covered up with leather, and so on, and so forth. Its an idea of protective armor, but cant be made in factory or bought, cause they're all blown to hell.

[@timidemerald]

*___* Thank you SO much! I didn't know that they didn't upload some vids to KZbin... Thank you again!

[@GwynforLwyd]

You know you have a true sub-genre when people start arguing how you have to be different in EXACTLY the right way. ;) It's great to be an individual, just like everybody else. lol

[@Saubey]

Steampunk has the potential to be worn anywhere. Obviously, you might want to tone down your look, exclude the more impractical accessories and go for the details instead :] I prefer the more subtly steampunky outfit with awesome details, than an over-the-top, costumey look (though that can also be fun).

[@dianef617]

3:56 American Horror Story house?!

[@punkrockartemis6620]

I wish I've discovered you sooner so I could have done this lovely outfit to prom

[@SammersM]

@Vampkiki Yeah. Next thing we know, the death star is really being built? Technology that efficient does not exist nowadays. Just because it was dreamt up in the past, does not mean the idea is a step back in technology. Cavemen probably dreamt of flying before pirates did. I guess you think cavemen being able to fly would be inferior to pirate technology, despite pirates being unable to fly.

[@Vampkiki]

@SeyrahGoth guess that means your younger then i am cause i remember them doing that in the 80s

[@TheMsKittyvamp]

I'm having the hardest time finding the right wire for the bustle! Can any one tell me where I can find some?

[@KHFanForAll]

Can you show us how to make a tophat?

[@thegenero6809]

how do you put the mens shirt on??

[@clifwing]

eric beck is from indymogul

[@GreenTeaGirl17]

Uhhhgg..I want to actually know how to ruche. I can't find how to do it on here or the forums either!

[@diekedrake]

wow you guys are soo good with that ^^

[@walk-with-Walz]

wher do i find the tutorial for the steampunk googles

[@marisinging]

that's imaginative but where does one go in these outfits except to a steampunkers ball?

[@shadowblack623]

Atlantis and treasure planet were steampunk inspired

[@DauwXelfje]

Omysmosh, this is awesome. Thank you so much!

[@LigerDragoon]

This reminds of the Wild Wild West movie starring Will Smith & Kevin Kline. That movie was cool & so is yall outfits & some of the ether things iv seen; weird but cool.

[@RaizzaGym]

Wow, I really have no talent for these things but i kept on watching.. I wanna live on Steampunk era right now

[@SammersM]

@Vampkiki Right? I know.

[@rafaelcastro2591]

I can see a common element in steampunks: creativity!!...something I actually lack hehe
