Rachel Maksy Made Me: Victorian Miss Frizzle Cosplay ft. Black Snail Edwardian Jumper Dress Pattern 

SO STINKIN' CUUUUTE!

"Take Chances, Make Mistakes, Get Messy!" 100% on brand for Miss Frizzle. Wonderful Job!

OMG, stuffing the socks in the corset. Hahahaha "Patron Saint of Winging It" makes me think that we need a graphic of Rachel with wings--which I'm sure she's made! Kudos to Mistake Shannon for taking it all in stride. It turned out AWESOME!

This was the perfect tribute to both Miss Frizzle and Rachel Maksy :) Also, that little sewing shop looks amazing!

Why is "Frizz-ification" not an everyday, commonly used word?? It needs to be. This was great.

oh this is a DELIGHT. I'm feeling a mighty need to make up Ora Lin's Sophie dress in a suitably Ms. Frizzle-esque print . . .

I really hope Rachel sees this! It's so fun!

OMG I am an elementary school librarian and I wanted to dress up as Ms. Frizzle for Halloween at my school, but couldn't make it work with any modern clothing that I have! I wish I had done something like this; your cosplay turned out super cute! Maybe I will have to do one of her other looks for this year ...

BEHIND THE SEAMS: what all do you want to know?! What wasn't clear, was glossed over, randomly popped into your brain, or anything else while watching this video? 🧵🪡

I feel like we need a Ms. Frizzle for every decade of the Victorian and Edwardian eras now. There's gotta be at least one of her dresses that would work with a hoop crinoline.

Wow, that's a lot of pattern pieces! But a really fun project! And I agree. Ms Maksy is definitely the patron saint of winging it.

I made a Victorian-inspired dress of TheFrizz for my 'Ms. Frizzle as a Gallifreyan Timelord' cosplay and it is probably my favorite outfit to run around in to date! I love how your version is a perfect combination of the source materials and Rachel's flair.

I loved all of your editing in this video! The montage and you saying "can we make it a bit more...Maksy?" was awesome. I love watching you and Rachel create, so it was so cool to see you do something inspired by her! Thanks Shannon for an awesome video :)

Favourite Magic school bus episode is when Ralphie gets sick and they travel up his nose into his body and explore, don’t even know why I remember this lol

An Ikea bust improver called “Upplifta” would be amazing 😂 (Swedish doesn’t have the letter ü; that’s German)

I’m an enormous Rachel M fan and that’s why RU-vid recommended this too me, I’m definitely not disappointed! This was great! I really hope she sees this video, I bet she would absolutely love it ❤

I am literally subscribed to Rachel so when I saw her face in the thumbnail I thought it was one of her videos I just put in my watch list lol. I watched the video where she mentioned the victorian miss Frizzle.

Uplifta and Badonk killed me!

Best terminology ever: Historically adequate!

OMG that montage...the music...the reveal! 🤩 Absolutely Maksy-mum Rachel vibes. 😁

I love the recent frequent sowing videos! looking forward to the corset video.... this channel is massively underrated :D

I'm on holiday this week so it's Friday morning and I'm curled up on the sofa with a comforting beverage and my furry companion 😂 but yes....that's us on a Saturday morning most weeks 😊

When you were cutting out all of the stars I was thinking, okay, so if this was Rachel Maksy, she'd be gluing those suckers on, and then you immediately had a shot where you're starting to sew and then "Let's make it more Maksy" and pulled out the spray adhesive, so well timed editing there. (Also, great mash-up cosplay.)

So much fun - makes me want an Anne of Green Gables/Magic School Bus crossover...

"I washed, dried and pressed the fabric" OMG, thank you! I am a bit confused when youtubers say they want to be using thrifted materials to be thoughtful about resources, and then they skip important and REALLY SIMPLE steps which make final garment look good in the end. They end up with a piece which is ill fitting and hardly werable, materials are literally waisted to it and somehow they are happy? I just don't understand. Thank you for being really thoughtful to your art process and being respectful to the materials you use, great job!

I love the final result, you look truly amazing and ready for a fieldtrip in one of those early 1900' space ships! I never watched the Magic School Bus but I read every book they had at the local library, and I aspire to look like Ms Frizzle in my daily clothes, maybe I could make a history-bounding Ms Fizzle to wear at work?

7:20 that sweater is ADORABLE

I love all the sweet references to Rachel's style! And yes please I'm super interested in learning how to make a corset, as a martial artist I'm also on the non-squishy side 😆

I like to draft just the top portion of a skirt - waist to just below hip or wherever the angle becomes obvious, then note at the edges “+65cm” or whatever the distance to the hem is. Save paper, cut fabric without the pattern in the way (1m steel ruler makes a great fabric holder)

I, too, enjoy my Saturday morning ritual to the patron saint of Winging It. This was a joy to watch!!!

Oh my god, the crossover I never knew I needed, but loved every minute of! One of my favorite videos of yours ever!

This brought me so much joy! I had a big stupid grin on my face from the point you said "make it a bit more...Masky" right through to the very end. I love the homages, the crisp editing, and the sheer ridiculousness of it all (the IKEA "uplifter" 😂)

One of my favorite shows growing up! We only got to watch on special occasions in elementary school and the teacher had to check out a TV from the library. You brought back a lot of fun memories and did a fantastic job on the dress!

I thought it was a Rachel video, but I stayed because of the concept

I see Rachel, I click... but I'll be staying for more sewing (and corgis!) I loved this!!

The wizard we never knew we needed! Awesome!!!

Ih my GOODNESS I knew as soon as I saw the thumbnail exactly which photo this dress was going to be based on!! This dress was one of the first things that got me into historical dress years and years ago, and I've been swearing I'll make it forever - last year for halloween I planned to finally make it, so I bought the exact same Black Snail pattern that you've used too! Through a series of unfortunate events it ended up in my UFO pile, but this video is inspiring me to pick it back up again

lol, it is Saturday morning and I am literally sat in bed, in my robe, with a cup of tea and clicked on this video thinking it was Rachel Maksy. So yeah. Intro checks out. 🤣 I love that our weekend routines are literally the same (minus the furry companion, alas...unless we're counting my long-haired hubby 🦁😄)

Never heard of miss frizzle but love your costume and the work you put into it

Love the Miss Frizzle Edwardian space adventuring dress. For authentic hair, save the hair from your brush and hand felt some Victorian hair rats. My grandmother, who was born in 1886, taught me to start with a small amount role it between your hands into a ball. As you add hair wrap it around and continue hand felting until it is the size of a small chicken egg. Then concentrate on elongating the felted hair piece into a sausage, which as the name implies will look like a rat. Wrap your around and pin in place with two large Bobby pins. I made half a dozen over the second two years of the pandemic. Today I can rock a full Gibson Girl and honestly say it's my own hair. 😉👍💖🕊

The naming of the Ikea under garments was absolutely on-point! Thanks for the giggle.

So meta! I sit here on my couch, Saturday, handsewing, watching a new video from you. Which now inspired *me* to a Victorian cosplay based on the garment, I was working on: A red velvet suit jacket, turned sleeveless. And no, it is not the Joker. 😊 It is going to be so meta! "Shannon Makes Made Me: Rachel Maksy Made Me: Victorian xxxxx xxxxx. 😅

Seeing you in this dress gave me the EXACT SAME FEELINGS as actually watching the show! I want to go on a field trip across the solar system so bad now

Something about the reveal just fills my heart

Et je suis avec mon tea dans mon canapé à te regarder 😄… Quel hommage à Rachel Macksy 💕 She’s so fun ! Sacrée construction de costume ! Félicitations !! À bientôt !! 🌸🌸🌸

While I'm not of the generation of Miss Frizzle watchers, I am a Rachel Maksy fan and you did her proud in your own way! Great job, as usual - I always look forward to your videos.

I'm new here. This dress is amazing! Rachel is going to be over the moon when she sees it! 😍

That was a fun make. I also like you posted on Rachel's off week, so I still get my Saturday morning.

WOW!!! 😍 Beautiful dress and the perfect accessories. Well done. Make it more Maksy.😂 You nailed that.

Oh, a crossover between two wonderful creative ladies?? Amazing!

And this just solidifies my argument that you can 100% fudge your underpinnings to Make And Wear The Thing 👏👏 Love it! Also here for that springtime in Canada vibe. We just go straight from Disastrous Ice Storm to Sweltering 🙄

I must say, I don't hate your corset, even if its "just" a mockup....

You did lovely! 🎉❤ Maybe you want to sew a Bust-Improver aswell as a corset-cover, to further optimize your silhouette-game 😋 Eitherway I enjoyed your video alot! 😊

The ikea pattern line 😂❤

This is so perfect, I just rewatched the whole show as comfort entertainment, and then this popped up! Love it!

Your basting stitches are so evenly spaced that I’m in awe. Absolutely spectacular! ❤

Only thing you're missing is some Worbla and weathering. 😂😂 Love how this turned out! Can't wait to see how the corset turns out when you make the final version.

I love this. I just started my two kids watching The Magic School Buss. You perfectly captured Miss Frizzle ❤️

I've tried a couple of times to use patterns.... and discovered that they all require heavy modification for a couple reasons: I'm in my 40s and don't wear a bra, so things sit a bit different from what is expected, I have a wide flat bust so the measurements lie, I've got a spinal injury that requires a lot of core strenght so after all the physiotherapy exercises I'm like you, kinda thick waisted in a muscular and non-squishy kind of way, the narrowest part of me is two inches above where I actually WANT a waistband as waistbands up on my ribcage is... just... no... but where I want a waistband is in that inch of space I've got between the top of my hip and the bottom rib and of course now I've got a bit of padding which squishes and my hips are so narrow that if I make a waistband a comfortable measurement for my waistband waist, I can slide it right off my hips, so like you, there's gonna be a lot of socks stuffed into the hips if and when I ever make a full corset! Ultimately my sizes according to Mood Fabric sizing when I went to make Sewstine's Kefta pattern were bust: 12, hips: 8 and waist... get this... 18. I wear men's 30" pants which have an actual waistband measurement of 32", one size up from that falls off without undoing the button. So I went with the bust size and STILL had to take it in inches because my measurements lie. But at least now I have a princess seam bodice block that is fitted to my own weird shape and now I just use other patterns for inspiration. Also I wanted to say congrats on so little waste on the blue fabric, that's one of my goals when I use fabric cause I rarely obtain fabric for a specific project, I just grab a random amount and hope it's enough to make *something* out of! That's actually how my first jumper dress I made was a handsewn purple linen medieval spiral lace kirtle! I'd already used 2/3 of the fabric for a long sleeved medieval gores-and-rectangles style dress and sleeveless and shortened was the only way I was getting much else out of what was left! Springtime in Canada indeed... was supposed to have been 12C yesterday, this morning it was -14 with the wind chill in Ottawa, and my in-laws in Sudbury got over a foot of snow when we got two inches before the warm day... And dear gods I hope Rachel sees this!!! That reveal was so fun. I only ever saw Magic Schoolbus as an adult cause I'm old but it's one of the few more modern shows I'd wished had been made early enough for me to appreciate more, but it looks like you nailed it!

Im not a sewer, so the terms you use puzzle me. I love watching what you do. Hugs from Idaho

Rachel will LOVE THIS😍

Ms. Frizzle is an icon ❤️

So fun! I love Rachel, and miss frizzle, and your videos are always so creative. ❣️

Magnificent! I loved everything about the dress, your detailed labor, the baby dog and Canada too, I havent seen snow in 5 years in my country.. LOVED IT!

Unrelated, but I friggin' love your shirt with the alpaca print! And your transitions are just ✨Chef's kiss✨

omg! i love the historical photo!

This is such a fun video! I love the little shop where you got thread! Thank you for sharing!!

"Could we make it a bit more.. Maksy?" *Grabs the spray adhesive* This kinda left me confused. She does use glue sometimes, but for fabric designs I feel like Rachel would've chose to paint the stars, moons and planets in her awesome style. She loves painting, it's kind of her signature thing.

Just fabulous! I watched with my kids way back when and I do remember ur that episode!! Love your version of it!

Love the way you filmed the collage of the pattern.

I came because I saw it was inspired by Rachel Maksey. I'm sticking around because you are talented and delightful 😊

This was a super fun watch. May there be ore Frizzlezation. Gunnie Sax Frizzle, 40s Friz, Frizzle in Panniers might be too far.. (or is that too wide)

Shannon, outstanding. This was very fun to watch. First time viewer, new subscriber. I'll surely be back to watch previous videos of yours. Cheers

Such an awesome job! Loved the ending with audio from the show lol💖

Yay! I’m caught up…oh no. Now I have to wait like everyone else 😅. This came out amazing! Again, with the childhood, but I can’t even be mad about it. I haven’t thought about the show until Rachel mentioned. (also a huge Rachel Maksey fan) Absolutely looking forward to the behind the seams. Thank you for sharing!

Have enjoyed watching you out make this dress 👗🥻 mistakes and all, it has been fun.

...aaaaaaand subbed! i love this whole make, and i adore miss frizzle! i hope you wear that jumper dress whenever you're in the mood to get dirty and make mistakes while having a wonderful adventure!

Definitely a Ms. Frizzle vibe, great job. What a fun project. Your fur baby is adorable. 😍

Why is the sewing music such a vibe? 🤌

I'm so obsessed with this dress! 👗

Amazing as always! I'd watch the making of a bum pad! lol! Very excited for the Behind the Seams! :)

That has also been stuck in my brain since she said it!! So good to see it come to life 🤩 What a cool project!

Absolutely wonderful! An excellent tribute to Ms Frizzle, and a very nice homage to Rachel Maksy. XD Also, yes, please do share a video on the making of the bustle pad, I need more motivation to get one made along with my corset and petticoat. 😂

This came out AMAZING!!!!!

That is so awesome! I also love your IKEA product suggestions. :D

Wow! That is a wonderful outfit. 😍🤩😍🤩

BADONK and ÜPLIFTA 😂😂 This is the first video of yours I ever watched, but your sense of humor immediately convinced me to subscribe, along with the awesome creative energy!

you are looking wonderful Shannon. Keep up the fabulous work.

Your videos are so FUN and CREATIVE!

Such fun, I had to watch it again! I love you both, and this is delightful and turned out so cute!

Those shoes are perfect for this outfit

I am totally loving the entire vibe of the video. Yes to a video about making your final version of a corset. And all the other bits that go with the underpinnings. Heard back from Ms. Rachael yet...? The completed piece is perfect. 10 gold stars. And I type that as a teachers kid... both of 'em... Odd thing I've noticed when it comes to thread. If you're feeling brave about your seams-line ability (I'm slowly getting there) using an off-white thread will work with just about any colour. Which is useful on a deadline. I figure if you repeat the same colour of top-stitching across a number of garments it becomes more of a design choice? I use a Gutterman 22. Mister Husband doesn't consider a sewing project of mine truly on the road to almost completion until I randomly yell out "Why do I like SEWING?!!" whilst sitting at my machine. Meh. Thanks for including the wrong turns and how to pull out of them. The only useful trick for fitting I have at this point is to wear the garment inside out. That way you can pin just the once. And that's kind of it. So any videos that include some more info would be warmly welcomed. Mm. I miss Montreal. You could do an entire video about the store and the owner and people who work there. Could even turn it into a little series of Mom 'n Pop fabric stores in the city. If Ikea started a bra line called Upliftia and included All The Sizes (she types as a 36G... eyeroll)... they'd be richer than Elon Musk & Co. - Cathy (&, accidently, Steve), Ottawa/Bytown/Pimisi

Omg if you make this a series I will scream, I would love to see all of the dresses

Very Frizzle-esque!! I vote yes on the bustle pad video!

Well I'll be! People can say what they wish about the negatives of the internet.... But my brand of niche weird is an intersection of a Venn diagram of many circles-- To find other people who costumery, historical fashion, Victorian/ Edwardians eras, Magic School Bus.... Is a fucking delight. Thank you for this!

the 'ikea historical kits' had me in stitches

hi!! I'm a new viewer - probably got recommended this because I'm a regular viewer of our queen of joyful chaos, Rachel Maksy. I love your choice of montage music! :D

The fabric you used are so nice! Love how it turned out! 🥰😍

New subscriber. Love your energy! And the sewing project was a lot of fun. I look forward to watching the progress on your corset and binging old content!

This is SO COOL! We need more of these beloved characters Victorian’d or Edwardian’d, so fun!
