Dialogue: 0,0:00:03.60,0:00:05.77,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Hi everyone, and welcome to episode 3 of Make
Dialogue: 0,0:00:05.77,0:00:09.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Thrift Buy. A show where you guys send me\Nclothes that you found online and I try to
Dialogue: 0,0:00:09.20,0:00:12.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,re-create them.\NToday’s challenge was suggested by Victoria
Dialogue: 0,0:00:12.36,0:00:17.01,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Valenzuela, and it’s of this awesome Pin\NUp Girl Clothing Sailor Dress, which retails
Dialogue: 0,0:00:17.01,0:00:20.75,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,for $132 dollars. Now I was lucky enough to\Nfind this dress at the thrift store the other
Dialogue: 0,0:00:20.75,0:00:25.11,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,day, which I thought could be used for this\Nproject. So…I thought I’d give this one
Dialogue: 0,0:00:25.11,0:00:28.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,a go!\NThe first thing I did was to make a cut out
Dialogue: 0,0:00:28.00,0:00:29.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,on the front of the dress, just like the one\Non the picture.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:29.30,0:00:35.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I drew the cutout on with chalk, and I hacked\Naway at this with some scissors. Then I folded
Dialogue: 0,0:00:35.52,0:00:40.81,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,all the raw edges back inside the dress about\Nhalf an inch, and I stuck some pins in to
Dialogue: 0,0:00:40.81,0:00:46.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,hold it all in place.\NI then very carefully sewed around the cut
Dialogue: 0,0:00:46.10,0:00:49.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,out really close to the edges. Using a straight\Nstitch but pulling the fabric slightly as
Dialogue: 0,0:00:49.63,0:00:53.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I went because the dress material was slightly\Nstretchy, and I didn’t want the stitches
Dialogue: 0,0:00:53.34,0:00:56.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to snap, andddd I ended up with a pretty nice\Nlooking cut out.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:56.44,0:01:01.13,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now, there is a distinct lack of anchors on\Nmy dress. For this I decided I would make
Dialogue: 0,0:01:01.13,0:01:07.05,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,a stencil so all my anchor shapes would be\Nthe same size, and…I totally forgot what
Dialogue: 0,0:01:07.05,0:01:13.13,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,anchors looked like. Thank you Google Images!\NFirst I drew an anchor onto some cardboard,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:13.13,0:01:18.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and then attempted to cut it out precisely.\NWhich is actually A LOT harder than you would
Dialogue: 0,0:01:18.42,0:01:24.05,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,think! A good 20 minutes later and I had a\Nreal dodgy looking stencil, but…it let me
Dialogue: 0,0:01:24.05,0:01:27.39,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,trace the basic shape of an anchor so I figured\Nit would be good enough.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:27.39,0:01:30.77,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Then I went to the craft store to get some\Nfabric paint, but the guy at the craft store
Dialogue: 0,0:01:30.77,0:01:35.01,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,actually recommended this Posca pen would\Nwork fine on fabric. I was a bit dubious that
Dialogue: 0,0:01:35.01,0:01:38.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it would show up well on black fabric, but\NI also thought that using a pen rather than
Dialogue: 0,0:01:38.68,0:01:44.31,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,paint would be easier so I trusted him and\NI went for it. And to my amazement, it worked!
Dialogue: 0,0:01:44.31,0:01:49.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So I did one, and then I just repeated this\Nall over my dress.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:49.68,0:01:55.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Soo…Five hours and hundreds of anchors later\Nand a shape of an anchor is basically etched
Dialogue: 0,0:01:55.54,0:01:59.53,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,into my brain. I’m not going to be forgetting\Nwhat an anchor looks like any time soon. So
Dialogue: 0,0:01:59.53,0:02:03.85,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,apparently to set the marker into the fabric\Nyou iron it at a high temperature without
Dialogue: 0,0:02:03.85,0:02:09.79,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,steam on the reverse side of the fabric. So\NI did that. Now, because I have terrible foresight,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:09.79,0:02:13.57,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I drew my hundreds of anchors before testing\Nthat they would actually stay on the fabric
Dialogue: 0,0:02:13.57,0:02:14.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,when washed.\NYeah…
Dialogue: 0,0:02:14.98,0:02:20.57,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,BUT, to test whether this pen works on fabric\NI popped the dress into my washing machine.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:20.57,0:02:27.57,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I’m really not happy about this.\N[washing machine noises]
Dialogue: 0,0:02:28.00,0:02:35.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Please be okayyy\NYep, and…heaps of them faded. Like…heaps
Dialogue: 0,0:02:40.38,0:02:47.23,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,are basically gone. Yeah…\NOkay so…It’s actually not that bad. As
Dialogue: 0,0:02:47.23,0:02:50.81,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the dress dried a lot of them became a lot\Nclearer to see, and most stayed on pretty
Dialogue: 0,0:02:50.81,0:02:54.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,well. So, I just went back over the faded\Nones with the Posca pen again, and I made
Dialogue: 0,0:02:54.88,0:02:58.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,a mental note to myself to only ever gently\Nhand wash the dress in the future.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:58.76,0:03:02.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So back on track, my dress had a black tie\Nin the front, whereas the one from Pin up
Dialogue: 0,0:03:02.56,0:03:07.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Girl Clothing has a white tie. So I simply\Nsnipped off the black ties. Then I used these
Dialogue: 0,0:03:07.26,0:03:11.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,pieces to make a stencil for two white tie\Npieces. I added a seam allowance, and also
Dialogue: 0,0:03:11.98,0:03:15.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,made them a little bit longer.\NI cut out four of these, then pinned them
Dialogue: 0,0:03:15.58,0:03:20.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,together two at a time, and sewed using a\Nstraight stitch all away around the edges;
Dialogue: 0,0:03:20.62,0:03:25.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,leaving the bottom edge open so I could turn\Nthem the right way around. Then I attached
Dialogue: 0,0:03:25.94,0:03:31.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,these to the front of the dress and sewed\Nthem on.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:31.48,0:03:37.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So the real question is…\NHow did I go?
Dialogue: 0,0:03:37.68,0:03:44.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,♫ music plays ♫\NSo in conclusion, if you’re lucky enough
Dialogue: 0,0:03:47.26,0:03:51.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to find this style of dress in a thrift store—\Nthen this something you can really easily
Dialogue: 0,0:03:51.98,0:03:55.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,make.\N[Scissor snipping and zipper noise effects]
Dialogue: 0,0:03:55.14,0:03:57.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So my version by Pin Up Girl Clothing: $132.\NMy version: $8.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:57.30,0:04:03.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now I do have to say that the one on Pin Up\NGirl Clothing is probably quite a bit nicer,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:03.20,0:04:08.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,with a full skirt, and inbuilt pockets. Plus\Nmy one is black, theirs is navy, BUT I think
Dialogue: 0,0:04:08.84,0:04:15.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,for $8 this is a pretty decent replica.\NSo let me know what you think, and keep those
Dialogue: 0,0:04:16.22,0:04:18.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,suggestions coming, and I’ll see you all\Nnext time!
