I feel like Rachel is the super realistic and relatable middle ground between Micarah Tewers and Bernadette.
-
Wait this is CUTE, please wear this unironically irl 😭
-
Rachel finally cutting her project into parts so that she has enough time to actually do them and not cry from stress - that's what I call CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT ! 😂🧡
-
Rachel, I promise, if you split up projects nto two parts for the sake of taking on less stress/time constraints and being more pleased with your final work, we will love it all the more. <3
-
The benefit of choosing red for the bodice means the dress allows you to truly embody "black and white and read all over"
-
"If wrinkled fabric bothers you, don't worry, I will fix it." Pixelates the wrinkled fabric. Rachel proving once again that she is the chaotic neutral of the CosTube world.
-
🤣😂🤣🤣😂 THAT WAS A VERY FUN FACT THOUGH 10/10
-
They are wild strawberries and will never get big, but they have the most intense strawberry flavour you will ever experience! Eat when red!
-
I really like this multi-part project idea, keeping the stress down but the creative juice flowing. I can’t wait to see the completed project! On a side note, those pages in chiffon would be so totally couture. <3
-
I'm obsessed with the fact that the red part actually looks like the cover of some books without the jacket, even the texture!!!
-
If I saw a teacher or librarian wear this dress, I would think they were the coolest person ever. Love this.
-
My heart is screaming to tea stain random pages on the skirt so they appear to be of various ages. Also a corner of my brain is urging me to try (never having sewn) to make this skirt and add a few illustrations to some pages like Alice in Wonderland, or filigree on chapter pages? Ahhh the possibilities of a book themed skirt! This is too dang cool!!!
-
The wild strawberries do not get any bigger than that, so eat them as soon as they get fully red and do not wait for further growth. ^^
-
Ooh, you NEED a rotary cutter, ruler, and mat; it’ll save your wrists! Edit: Or spring-loaded scissors. I had no idea there were such things until someone commented about them, but now really need them.
-
Rachel as Anne of green gables ,cosplaying Rosie from LOTR singing “skater boy” is the best opening for a video 😍
-
As a book person and school librarian, can I just say, this is one of my favorite things ever!!!! I don't really sew, but I might have to figure out how to make one of these for myself!
-
I deeply appreciate Rachel crouched on the floor in a messy room, burping with ink on her face. I can confirm that this is what the crafting/art making process actually looks like.
-
"This one is just straight up dead... but for some reason, I'm like here, have some water" Me just to myself as I attempt self care at the end of the school year as a teacher....
-
A good trick for the other stamps, since the center portion is lacking enough pressure, stick them to a large can of something and roll it on the fabric. Like an old can of coffee or large water bottle.
-
it's super that you're giving yourself two weeks to finish a product, I think it's better for yourself and for us who watch it (more content, something to look forward to, getting a lot of banter in between the making-process)!
