you should totally customize more clothing and sell it on depop, that patch skirt is CRAZY good

[@RattusRattus]

Aww tysm! I don’t do depop anymore nor clothes comissions much anymore (I’m more into custom dolls lately) but we’ll see in the future 🥰 ❤️❤️❤️

Omfg yess!!!

[@quoire]

a quick tip on bleaching your clothes, if you cover the spots with hydrogen peroxide for a bit before rinsing it it neutralizes the bleach! That way the fabric doesn't degrade more and removes the risk of skin irritations!

[@RattusRattus]

Ooh great tip! Didn’t know this, thank you!

I get so happy when you post I'm non binary too but everyone disrespects my pronouns because I wear the hijab but I am getting into alt fashion lately and hopefully get money to buy some clothing. Love you💙😁 Edit: ok so I decided to take off the hijab bc I am now using h/they pronouns and identify as demiboy/nonbinary. I hope everyone still supports me🙂

[@RattusRattus]

i’ve been thrifting a lot lately but rarely ever have the time/inspiration to modify them to my tastes and i end up just never wearing them because i basically live in tees and pajamas! that’s why i love your videos, reminding me that i don’t have to settle for any of my clothes in their current states, god and there’s no surface that can’t be a painting canvas! aaah pls keep it up (also, i love how fast you talk, i do the same and no one understands me 💀)

A lace table runner as a scarf is actually pretty clever!

[@douglasgriffiths3534]

I thought that was a runner, but scarves are made in all different widths and lengths. They can also tie the strings on the ends around their arms to hold it in place. Very nice. (Jan Griffiths).

This was so much fun to watch, thank you for sharing! HI LEMON!! AND TUNA (I miss your face kitty!) This also came at the perfect time because I have a thrifting date on Saturday and I like to make little lists for things to look out for. I really loved all of the patches you made to go on everything and oh my goodness, the plaid dress at the end of the video was SPECTACULAR!!!! I can't wait to see part two!. Hugs to you and yours! PS. I love getting yarn from the thrift store, I just finished crocheting a GIANT blanket out of all thrifted yarn and I am very happy with how it turned out. Also, I found some super expensive nice ones when I was hunting for yarn for the blanket. The crafting section is always amazing.

[@vissersixty-nine6246]

I recently started my more alt phase and I feel the same as you about getting older and being more confident and dressing the way you Actually Want To!! I had a pretty rough upbringing and didn't really have a lot of time or energy to do anything for myself. I was really into the idea of customizing my clothes, but at the time I really wanted to start, I was Going Thro It mentally and ended up having to ditch all my ideas. Now I'm 20 and feel like I'm dressing the way I would've wanted to when I was 16 because that's what's comfortable and fun for me; alt fashion is a way of reclaiming my teenage years that I never really had

[@creationDragon]

Your DIY wardrobe ideas are my absolute favorites. I've been able to adapt a lot of your techniques to my style and I am so much happier with my fashion lately

[@RattusRattus]

Wow!!! That is awesome! Truly a wonderful compliment and I’m so happy to hear you’re having more fun with fashion! Yay🥳🥰❤️❤️❤️

[@tiffanym7764]

The patches you make are so freaking cool

[@PurpleBriseis]

This is such a lovely video, really excellent finds and then fantastic finishing touches! I've been into alt fashion (mainly goth) for a couple decades now, and I have had some great times putting together alternative flea markets. Getting the people with excess alt stuff and the people looking for new alt stuff conveniently together at the same spot, you know? There haven't been any recently for obvious reasons, and there's boxes and boxes of the stuff in the attic. So lately I noticed a few of the village kids who are getting to the point of figuring out their own styles are leaning in this direction and got really happy, then I thought about how tricky it was to get cool things at that age, so now they're going to get to pick through those boxes at a massive discounts even by flea market standars, because yay alt fashion! :D

[@caylarivera2804]

I'm in a terrible fashion slump right now, none of my clothes are fitting the way I want. I love watching your diy vids to get inspired to diy and remake my clothes or even sew new clothes out of my fabric stash. Everything show on here is so cool and I love what remaking things does to make them so much cooler.

[@BlueMiaou]

Your videos and tutorials really inspired a lot of my DIY projects ; I've block printed, painted, sewed patches, made jewelry, made accessories and it's so so fun, I'm able to put together looks that I'm super happy with now!

Thank you so much for these videos, they really help a lot!

On tiktok there has been a rise in shein hauls fast fashion etc. and i think that's sad since there are so many lovely clothes available in thrift stores/vintage stores!

[@beautifulenigma1724]

The last part of the video made me tear up 🖤 It's been a hard few years, and this past week has been rough because my senior kitty is having issues and I'm really worried about him. I've been really beating myself up about it, especially today, so your kind words gave me a nice warm hug. Last night I finally contacted a tattoo artist about a tattoo I've wanted for like, decades (got the sticker when I was around 11 or so I think? Am 36 now). So hopefully that'll be a nice treat to myself in the coming months :)

Hey! This seems awkward but I'm going back to school soon and I was thinking about how the hell I am going to do alt/goth in school. What do you think is a good idea? Anyway lol I'm tired and I have pasta lol -Asher (they/them)

[@Lemu_with_a_shirt]

I think that depends a lot on specifics. Are there dresscodes, are most of the teachers nice, are you highly affected by what others say, do you get bullied for it enough that it's not worth it etc. I know that for me personally it never mattered what I'd wear at school, people would be rude about it wether it was jeans and a t shirt, a simple sundress or a full on punk outfit. So in a case like that I'd say just do what you would outside school, talk yourself into the confidence, it will help you in the long run. If you notice people do change behaviour a lot based on your looks, maybe just test the waters gently, see what's still comfortable.

Those outfits were amazing and your diy’s brought out your personality!!! Your our future and you have great ideas and you care about our environment/repurposing, not to mention your style is the exact vibe I’d have chosen when I was your age. I might just diy some pieces and throw my hair into pigtails (that’s actually how I wear it, like Penelope Garcia- from criminal minds) put on my jewelry and go to work confidently instead of wearing my yoga pants and Birkenstock’s daily. ❤️🖤🧷🔥

[@rattasticDon]

As a fellow punk rocker, I have the same feelings towards cheetah print - it's not colourful enough! But I learnt it actually looks amazing with the classic red tartan and helps to spice up the look. I still don't have full cheetah print clothing, but I made myself some fluffy bon-bon cheetah earrings, got cheetah boots and a scrunchie and they are really cute accessories. I am also planning to DIY a red tee with a cheetah heart (like the one from unif). I think a plaid skirt could also look cute with cheetah patches

[@RattusRattus]

Ooooh THANK YOU! I will need to try out some of these ideas because I love ! The concept of adding in just like … splashes of cheetah , especially with plaid (or lace maybe could be fun!) Cheetah scrunchie also sounds amazing ahh🥺🥰 thank you thank you for the ideas :D ❤️🥰

[@painttheoceanonyx]

I didn’t think of making my own patches, though i do like getting patches from other artists that i got from etsy. I haven’t got to sewing them on my gray denim jacket. I’m thinking about painting on clothes too. I’ve tried thrifting online and i like a few pieces of clothes that i owned, but I’m very sensitive to strong scents that were left on some clothes and even after washing them several times doesn’t work as I couldn’t wear them without getting allergies, feeling itchy, and headaches. I have no choice but to buy new, even sales and only being more selective in the specific aesthetics that i like. It’ll take me a while to be able to dress for myself and be comfortable wearing it more. This channel have given me plenty of inspiration and even better from an awesome nonbinary person. I’m nonbinary as well. c:
