How to make a Steampunk Outfit, Threadbanger

[@ThreadBanger]

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

[@ThreadBanger]

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

[@ThreadBanger]

Good idea, we're looking into it.

[@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]

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.

[@ThreadBanger]

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

[@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?

[@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

[@Lafronteravictoriana]

Great nerdy show and ideas! Well done indeed!

[@rabbitscantcount5696]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@moony006]

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

[@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.

[@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

[@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!

[@irishdevil]

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

[@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.

[@missevavavoom]

I am blown away by your talent.

[@halcyonlurker]

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

[@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

[@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!

[@AmyAberrant]

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

[@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

[@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...

[@marlinah5857]

6 years late club! 🙋

[@angelusmortis8142]

I guess I'm in too...

[@caldera99]

hey me too

[@DippypantsGamesnStuff]

7yrs late

[@MegaBookWormGirl]

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

[@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

[@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!!

[@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.

[@Vampkiki]

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

[@Vampkiki]

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

[@tinkkiou]

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

[@msgio823]

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

[@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

[@b4thestephera]

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

[@SammersM]

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

[@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.=]

[@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?

[@TheSnakeOfSkyands]

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

[@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?

[@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.

[@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....

[@hubertcubeart]

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

[@SweetZyrah]

this is one of my favorite tutorial :D

[@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?

[@GreenTeaGirl17]

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

[@lucia4deth]

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

[@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

[@SammersM]

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

[@Vampkiki]

@SquirrelyLilBugger so how am i supposed to read a comment that was deleted exactly?

[@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??????

[@sooth15]

Great job, Corinne!

[@OpieTheRipper]

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

[@craftiestcraftstress]

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

[@clifwing]

eric beck is from indymogul

[@SammersM]

@Vampkiki Right? I know.

[@afruitybasket]

does anyone know how to find that goggle tutorial mentioned? I can't seem to find it...

[@M3Mys3lfandMus1c]

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

[@LetsPlayFede]

Is there any tutorial for a steampunk aviator helmet?

[@Turtletoots3]

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

[@MissySancha]

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

[@PurpleCowsMakeGJ]

How do you ruch up skirts?

[@walk-with-Walz]

[@KHFanForAll]

[@TwinPeaksIndustries]

[@Mccalen3]

[@thegenero6809]

how do you put the mens shirt on??

[@PrincessKahara]

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

[@Rockoloid]

Does the LaraCorset link work for anyone? It doesn't work for me.

[@ImABloodyTimelord]

i know this is really geeky but can you make a tutorial on a ciel phantomm hive coustume... for women and12 year old geekey girls?

[@bleachsanchoblastk]

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

[@blackrooftops]

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

[@timidemerald]

yeah, I can't find that tutorial for steampunk goggles. I mean, I've looked around KZbin, and they've shown us other goggles, but I'm looking for something simpler like the ones in the video. ;3;

[@AlwaysmilingPolitely]

Why do you rouch the skirt? I'm sorry I dont how to spell it

[@Vampkiki]

@akissy some of the victorian lolita stuff would work...

[@TemariXKakashi]

wat if u just want to were pant instead of a dress wat should i do

[@g4m3rsunite]

Can someone give me the link for that steampunk goggles thing.

[@xochequetsal]

uhh is rouched the same as shirred?

[@ElectricAceXi]

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

[@edstella]

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

[@PurpleCowsMakeGJ]

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

[@TheRealAtsumi]

@lamcoco1 It probably was, but really, that's perfectly fine. A lot of fashion and design during the Victorian era was heavily influenced by recent western contact with japan.

[@elliethedragonqueen197]

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

[@gplantam]

The link given in the About section above for Truly Victorian is incorrect. Remove the "netfirms." part for the correct link address.

[@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!

[@2degucitas]

Is steam punk over now? Does anyone still do this?

[@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

[@justvideowatching]

@NinjaJedi Thank you o///o Although I don't have those weird goggles or a skirt like that.

[@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!

[@TheQurikyAries]

what is the technique that she was using in 4:25 called?

[@PurpleCowsMakeGJ]

how do you rouche((sp?)) up skirts? :o

[@jeanblaaa]

but where would u wear this outfit?

[@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.

[@Vampkiki]

@ryroluver its called a bustle

[@diekedrake]

wow you guys are soo good with that ^^

[@PirateRespite]

I found this fun. This is the first time I have seen your videos. I think I will subscribe and catch up with your others. Best, -C
