I Tried Recreating This 1800's Bat Costume! 🦇 

It absolutely IS the batwoman I want

Batwoman, but make it vintage.

couldn't agree more

I have to say, Rachel is giving me a batgirl Barbara Gordon vibe with her red hair and all~ I love it! 😂💕

Really though. It’s an unfortunate endless cycle really

Truer words were never said! Same with holiday gatherings...back when such things existed.

Sewing when I know how to use my machine is much more fun than trying to hand stitch ridiculous quantities of fabric (including faux fur) into a cloak on the floor at four am and crying-

@@poke-talia268 this is true, ugh, but I would still rather do the figuring out part than the sewing it up part.

@@poke-talia268 and waaaaahhhhhh! All-nighters no longer have any appeal

I feel this too. I just like being able to design, recycle, and tailor things. It’s for the results, not the process.

I’ve been sewing for 50 years and it’s NEVER about the process for me- I find that part boring & tedious LMAO. It’s having the cool thing at the end that makes me happy!

Sewing only sucks when your machine screws up and makes rats nests.

💯 accurate my dear!!! After 43 wedding dresses and COUNTLESS costumes and projects!!!

Agree to all of you, but I do enjoy it when everything's working out during a project and I know what I'm doing. Which is ... not often 😂

Yup, when I was 4ish my grandmother and I got matching witch costumes and she had fun with it. But if you asked me at the time it wasn't a witch but a princess costume.

heck, I dress up all year long

I want to be you when I grow up. I LOVE Halloween.

😂🤣

You are not wrong

Or when she did it for the chicken wire ghost 👻

@@marshawargo7238 Another good one

or that time she turned herself into Eric Matthews

Plus the reveal seemed a little extra flirty this time, so there’s that 🥰

Can rachel fans be her bats now?

@@kitdubhran2968 I'm on board! 🙋‍♀️🦇

And also Epic Autumn Aesthetic

Heehehhee

I legit choked on my drink with that last response 😂

That made me snort cola out my nose! Too funny and accurate

@@kateobrien1943 Two drink related accidents 😂 there should be a warning about having a beverage and reading that comment 😂

Women over 100 years ago put on costumes. Aren't we more fun now that we have rights? I believe we are more fun now.

Another good response would be, "Dick is as dick does!" and every time they try to respond repeat it in interrupting cow fashion.

I may have pulled out a tablet and immediately started sketching this as the movie poster while watching the rest of the video...

hahaha YESSS

@@krystelanderson5443 I feel like it would make a wonderful buddy cop movie.

Dingoes and band names just made me think about Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Oz's band, Dingeos Ate My Baby. I like your idea better tho lol

ME TOO I WAS SO HAPPY SHE DID IT AT THE END

Same, lol

hahaha ya GOTTA

literally same. I was so happy when she did it lol.

There was actually a picture of Nadja wearing a costume like this in the episode where they go to Simon the Devious' nightclub.

Damn it! I was gonna comment this 💀

@@Sweet.peach21 great minds 🧡

I never use it but somehow I'm still pissed that my new sewingmachine doesn't have one...

Sometimes machines have a little diagonal slit on the back of the presser foot post that is also a thread cutter. Sneaky.

It’s ok. I just learned three weeks ago mine had one because I finally read the manual after having my machine for a decade and learned that little bump was a thread cutter.

⁠@@kosmoboo it doesnt?? does it maybe have a button that cuts the thread instead? usually new machines are so fancy lol

@@kimberlyscheyhing9114 It isn't mentioned in the manual at all and I've found nothing on the machine.

That's so sad @Danielle C. to hear. I bet your costumes are awesome and original!

Most of my projects start with rage.

It can be the same way with my quilts sometimes. Planning is fun and you want to get to the "good" part, but you realize there are many hours of hardwork, broken thread and wonky seems between you and it....

I discovered during the early stages of the pandemic that I don't actually hate sewing, I hate machine sewing...

Yes, sky puppy! Love it!

:) :)

my new favorite thing is cats with spooky-esque names. Binx, Casper, also my late cat Loki

Sky puppy would be the Australian eastern fruit bat. US bats, much like your one marsupial, are butt ugly.

Traci! It's nice to see you here! 🎃🧡

This used to be one of my favourite quotes of all time. thank you for reminding me, I'm gonna write it down now.

I think it’s just the glasses are very similar XD

@@crowfaerymori And the bangs!

Makes one wonder what Mike Myers would look like in drag.

😂😂♥♥♥♥♥

Agreed!!! 😂💕

ALL HAIL THE BAT QUEEN!

She’s a beautiful bat queen

i LOVE YOUUU

😂😂😂😂

spiky BOOIISS

I read this comment sitting under my Buzzfeed Unsolved poster of Ryan holding Shane’s head 😂💀

Where did you get yours?!? I want one!

@@madameevycat omg our MINDS!

@@strugglebus1012 I got my poster from the Shop Buzzfeed store - it was around the time the 100th episode dropped, so idk if it’s still there. Worth a shot, though! 🤞🏻

I have a The Professor tee, can I join?

LOL

Sounds delightful

Seems to be a trend on utube I've noticed recently.

Perfect cover to Caitlyn Doughty's OG song "It was R-R-Rats"

Same. Followed by... “yes? Uh huh, I know.” But I really don’t know. 😆

I usually yell "I did not. Stop telling lies about me."

Yes we talk to our cats, or any other animal that talks to us.

I am definitely in the “what cha want brat?” crowd of people when their pets yell at them. Usually it is food.

Creeeeeepy paaaapeeerr

I think she did a little Nadja on tiktok.

You make those bad videos about your horrible opinions. Why are you here?

@@slotheatworld who asked

@@slotheatworld Because im a seamstress. Most of my videos are about my experience as a black woman, a trans woman and a rape survivor. I support creators by commenting on their work. Honestly hope you find something that makes you smile today other than putting others down.

the automatic WHAT????? i want one

I was used to my mom's 60's Kenmore sewing machine having the thread cutter in back... and boy oh boy did I miss it when I doscovered my 80's Singer from my grandmother did not have one, if Gorilla Glue had been a thing when I was still using it, I would have glued a seam ripper onto it back there somehow. But I will go read the manual for my own 70's Singer to see if it's got any interesting thngs, I found all kinds of neat stuff in the manual for my 1914 Jones hand crank machine, it has hemming foot attachments and stuff!

I know mine has one. I read the manual and i still can't find it or know how to operate it

Yes!! Also, I'm sure we all love a good organization/cleaning/before and after video 😍

😅😅😥😥

Home Depot sells moving boxes at most of their stores now ! Also make sure you get LOTS of tape to close boxes & MANY SHARPIES to write content on boxes - DO right it in several places ! Don't forget to get a new p.o. box & forward your mail to new abode - that can take some time - think they recommend 6 weeks. Also PLEASE update your Veterinary Office & your pets tags. On the day of your move, lock up your cat in the bathroom with food/water/litter it doesn't sneak out. Put a BIG WARNING on the door so if anyone uses bathroom they don't let cat out. Also, put your cat carrier in there First ! Maybe with a t-shirt you slept in inside. Your scent will reassure them. They may crawl into carrier as it's "safe", which can work out when it is time to actually move the cat! If your pet has a microchip - contact the company to change address...... Moving is a scary stressful time for pets & many get out & get lost..... If you can, fill a jug (or two) with water from "home" for the pets water at new place. Gradually add the 'new' water. Pets can get stomach upset if things change too fast. P.s. if you need boxes (say for books), Rachel, reach out to me. M-F we use LOTS of boxes, can set aside if you can pick up in Rockland ?!

Have a tub/box that is the last on the truck and first off that has all the essentials: toilet paper, hand soap, paper towels, plates, sharpies, tool kit, cleaning supplies, bath towel, etc. And have an overnight bag with clothes and toiletries for the first couple of days. Setup your bed first! Then you always know that however much you get done you can climb into bed. We made color coded labels for each room that boxes were moving to (kitchen, bedroom, living room, etc). Then at the new place you can put a piece of coordinating construction paper to mark each room. This allows people helping you move to get boxes into the correct rooms. You can always use a sharpie on the box with more detailed contents if necessary.

Weird tip but before you move everything in make sure your flooring is ok- I moved all my stuff in only to realise the previous owners of my unit let their dog pee wherever it wanted 😭 It was a pain to clean up around all my furniture

@@emilyflavell1658 Holy crap! Surprised whoever owned the place let you move in when it was still in that state. That really sucks. But yes, a proper inspection of some of the essentials is best done when the place is still empty.

hahahah yes!!!

As a bloke it seems I know my sewing machine better than some ladies but -- I struggled for 12 years with a car which, while normally reliable, refused to start after ultra-short journeys. Literally the week I got rid of the car I notice that the manual explained that this was a known problem, and here's how you operate the controls to fix it..

true!

Yes !🦇

YUUUSSS!!!!😁❤❤❤🦇🦇🦇

Me too. I want her to add his little antenna as a final touch

Human tales? Humans don't have tails, they have big big bottoms that they wear with bad shorts!

I am SO hoping!

will definitely be doing one!

@@rachelmaksy Yay!!

Yes! Love watching her videos Saturday morning 🥰 Aww that is such an adorable fun fact, thank you for sharing!! ❤ 🦇

Hahahaha. Same here. And sitting here wondering when I can hit Savers for some thrift fun.

hahahaha honestly I ENVY YOU

A Friday night ritual!

@@stetrick612 YES! 🤗🤗🤗

Yasss!!!

Literally just finished this video and now I’m gonna start the new What We Do in the Shadows ep. It makes me happy to know I share this experience with some random person on the internet.

@@averyjeanne 🙂 same

Start now. Even if not done in time for Halloween, every modern woman should have a "Bat Queen" dress in her closet ! ;)

@@m.maclellan7147 I may just use this video + this comment as an excuse to do that 😹

@@tearez13 I really think we're going to come out of this plague with everyone dressed up in Cos Play / Fantasy / Historical dress ! Why not ?! ;)

I know it's probably a typo, but "timely manor" just made me think of a grand old manor house that is also a time machine.

@@Eloraurora 😹 yeah, I can't spell ;P

Saw that as well !

Yeah! Same thought here! 😁

Me too

I am others tooo, except I'm too lazy to even start lol

Raise hand, as I am others too.

I literally just came back from fabric shopping, I'm others too!

Anyone in the south-eastern part of Massachusetts that has a "Groovy" car - let Rachel know !

Same! I get such a comfy cozy vibe.

When I bought my machine I promptly lost the manual for the next four years. Not available on line either. So basic functions, but anything complicated was a guessing game. And of course I bought a complicated machine. Eventually it turned up, somewhere I’d looked multiple times, as these things do. Life suddenly so much easier.

I'm very lucky that my cousin who's old sewing machine I bought and who teaches sewing professionally taught me about the automatic needle threader, the thread cutter, and the bobbin winder!

Do all machines come with and auto threader? I swear if I have one I’m gonna scream lol

@@SD-bf6hk no I don't think so, it's definitely not on a couple of other machines I've used

@@SD-bf6hk no, it's still a booshie feature. But is becoming more and more common. All new singers have them. Idk about brothers or any other brand.

Older Singer machines have a similar "thread cutter" on the back of the presser foot post. Real time saver !

Who’s jack? Are they a horror channel?

@@lunarmagpie619 they may mean jacksepticeye. He's pretty silly it has played a good amount if horror games in the past

I watch coryxkenshin, kubzscouts and daz games play horror games, theyre my favs to watch

Yes! Stealthiness is games is terrifying. Or just enemies being behind me. Like Sonic Adventure 2 King Boom Boom still scares me but I happily watch Outlast videos and any horror game videos because I don't need to worry about being attacked. I realized I can't play horror games when I broke down crying in the first 5 minutes of dead space. I do appreciate them though.

What are you talking about?😅
