Dialogue: 0,0:00:11.90,0:00:16.55,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,on this show before, like this pleated piano-skirt\Ndress, and today’s challenge is along the

Dialogue: 0,0:00:21.48,0:00:25.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now the original tights are from… ebay?\NMaybe? This is an item that appears to be
Dialogue: 0,0:00:25.94,0:00:30.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,sold out absolutely everywhere that I looked,\Nwhich makes it a perfect candidate for some
Dialogue: 0,0:00:30.36,0:00:31.43,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,DO-IT-YOURSELF. So let’s begin!
Dialogue: 0,0:00:31.43,0:00:36.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The important materials that I’m going to\Nneed are a pair of tights – and I actually
Dialogue: 0,0:00:36.12,0:00:40.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,have like 5 packets of these sheer white tights\Nfrom the 80s that were given to me by a family
Dialogue: 0,0:00:40.52,0:00:44.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,friend, so this was $0 for me – but it is\Nreally really easy to find these kind of tights
Dialogue: 0,0:00:44.82,0:00:47.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in thrift shops.\NI’m also going to need a black marker –
Dialogue: 0,0:00:47.19,0:00:51.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,now, my one is an actual fabric marker, but laundry-safe permanent markers will work fine as well.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:52.26,0:00:55.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now the first method that I tried out involved\Ngetting myself a big old piece of cardboard.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:55.90,0:00:59.72,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The next step was remembering that I should\Nprobbbably at least make an effort to brush my hair.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:59.72,0:01:00.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Yep.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:00.88,0:01:04.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Anyway, I rolled the piece of cardboard up\Ninto a leg-sized tube like so.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:04.68,0:01:07.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I then taped up the tube so that it stayed\Nthis shape.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:07.45,0:01:10.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Then, I stretched the tights over the cardboard\Ntube like soooo.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:10.52,0:01:14.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Why do I feel like I’m giving instructions\Nfor a highschool health class-
Dialogue: 0,0:01:14.12,0:01:16.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,– and then I started drawing some musical\Nnotes!
Dialogue: 0,0:01:16.64,0:01:20.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now if you’re anything like me and your\Nartistic skills aren’t AMAZING, then you’ll
Dialogue: 0,0:01:20.18,0:01:24.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,want to practice drawing some beforehand on\Na piece of paper, and then keep these pictures
Dialogue: 0,0:01:24.06,0:01:26.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,nearby for reference while you’re drawing\Non your tights.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:26.82,0:01:30.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You can even print out an image of the shape\Nthat you want to trace over, stick this on
Dialogue: 0,0:01:30.22,0:01:32.85,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,your tube, and then use it as a template to\Nguide you.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:32.85,0:01:36.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,While drawing the notes onto the tights, I\Nput one arm inside the tube to help the tube
Dialogue: 0,0:01:36.64,0:01:40.81,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,keep its cylindrical shape. Because the marker\Nwill snag on this fabric, I found that the
Dialogue: 0,0:01:40.81,0:01:45.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,best way to go about drawing was to first\Ndot an outline of the shape of a musical note,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:45.86,0:01:51.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and then to fill in the outline using small,\Nquick strokes, like this.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:57.30,0:02:02.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And then I basically just repeated this with\Na number of different musical notes for both legs!
Dialogue: 0,0:02:05.24,0:02:08.51,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And before I show you all what they looked\Nlike, I also did a second pair of tights with
Dialogue: 0,0:02:08.51,0:02:11.72,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,MORE musical notes on them, using a slightly\Ndifferent method.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:11.72,0:02:15.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now, this is a method that you can use if\Nyou don’t have any cardboard paper but you
Dialogue: 0,0:02:15.22,0:02:19.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,have some tights and a marker and you want\Nto get started on this project right away.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:19.50,0:02:23.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,THIS method involved covering my legs with\Npaper, so I wouldn’t get pen all over my
Dialogue: 0,0:02:23.50,0:02:29.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,legs, and then drawing on my musical notes.\NBecause this pair had many more musical notes
Dialogue: 0,0:02:29.00,0:02:33.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,on it than the other pair, it took me around\N~3 hours to complete. And gave me a sore back.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:33.98,0:02:38.61,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I would not recommend this method if you plan\Non doing a really detailed design like this.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:38.61,0:02:42.57,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Anyway, I put about double the amount of musical\Nnotes on this pair because I think that it
Dialogue: 0,0:02:42.57,0:02:43.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,makes it look closer to the original.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:43.92,0:02:48.01,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I also made a pair with lettering, which I\Ndid by printing out my letters and then tracing
Dialogue: 0,0:02:48.01,0:02:53.15,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,over them, and a pair with a cherry-pattern,\Nusing my coloured fabric markers!
Dialogue: 0,0:02:53.15,0:02:54.57,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Anyway - how did they turn out?
Dialogue: 0,0:02:54.57,0:02:55.37,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,[music plays]
Dialogue: 0,0:03:27.24,0:03:28.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,[record scratch sound, music abruptly stops]
Dialogue: 0,0:03:28.50,0:03:29.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Annnnd there's a hole in my tights.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:29.98,0:03:31.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,[music resumes]
Dialogue: 0,0:03:35.12,0:03:36.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,[record scratch sound, music stops abruptly]
Dialogue: 0,0:03:36.10,0:03:37.65,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Are you kidding me.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:37.65,0:03:41.51,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,No matter how good your designs are, if you're\Ngoing to be working with sheer tights, prepare
Dialogue: 0,0:03:41.51,0:03:45.87,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,yourself for some heartbreak. These rips and\Nladders happened AFTER I worked on the design,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:45.87,0:03:49.79,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and before you mention it, it's not just because\NI was using thrifted retro tights - the ones
Dialogue: 0,0:03:49.79,0:03:53.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that I used for the MAKE, THRIFT design were\Nactually brand new!
Dialogue: 0,0:03:53.18,0:03:56.81,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Sheer tights are the worst.\NThey’re the worst.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:56.81,0:04:01.79,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Seriously why do they even exist? Why do we\Neven wear them? WHY ARE THEY A THING!? I don’t
Dialogue: 0,0:04:01.79,0:04:06.29,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,think that I’ve ever had a pair of sheer\Ntights last me, rip-free, for more than 1
Dialogue: 0,0:04:06.29,0:04:09.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,wear. Has anybody out there??\NIS THE WHOLE WORLD MAD?
Dialogue: 0,0:04:09.76,0:04:14.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So with this musical pair of tights - while\Nthey worked really well, I don’t even think
Dialogue: 0,0:04:14.26,0:04:19.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that I’m ever going to wear them again because\Nthey took me 3 hours to make and the disappointment
Dialogue: 0,0:04:19.09,0:04:24.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,when they rip – WHICH THEY WILL DO – will\Nbe far too soul-crushing. So, I can’t do
Dialogue: 0,0:04:24.09,0:04:26.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it. So, my conclusion is:
Dialogue: 0,0:04:26.94,0:04:28.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,[scissor snipping, zipper sound effect]
Dialogue: 0,0:04:28.95,0:04:32.73,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,BUT… use thicker tights. And it’s not\Nlike you can buy these anymore, anyway, so
Dialogue: 0,0:04:32.73,0:04:35.71,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that does kind of cross out "buy" from the\Nwhole make thrift buy equation.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:35.71,0:04:40.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Most tights you get online are super thin\Nand flimsy anyway – I actually bought a
Dialogue: 0,0:04:40.45,0:04:44.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,whole bunch of tattoo tights when they were\Nreally popular a few years ago, and after
Dialogue: 0,0:04:44.91,0:04:49.07,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,one or two wears - they all got holes in them!\NOf course I have kept them all because I can’t
Dialogue: 0,0:04:49.07,0:04:54.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,bear to just THROW clothes away… even though\Nthese are no longer useful to anybody which
Dialogue: 0,0:04:54.63,0:05:00.49,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is why... SHEER TIGHTS JUST MAKE NO SENSE.\NBut, anyway, at least I didn’t spend like
Dialogue: 0,0:05:00.49,0:05:05.51,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,$20 on these suckers. Just time and energy.\NPriceless.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:05.51,0:05:10.13,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,ANYWAY IGNORING HOW MUCH SHEER TIGHTS SUCK\N- these actually did turn out pretty well.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:10.13,0:05:14.43,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The music note tights don’t look exactly\Nlike the original, and I think that I made
Dialogue: 0,0:05:14.43,0:05:17.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,them a little too busy – the notes could\Nhave been spaced out a little bit more evenly
Dialogue: 0,0:05:17.48,0:05:22.31,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,– and they really are a labour of love - so\Nif you were feeling more lazy and wanted music-themed

Dialogue: 0,0:05:27.51,0:05:32.53,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,draw like a really large quaver on your knees\N- for a kind of similar effect. It's really
Dialogue: 0,0:05:32.53,0:05:37.25,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,up to you and how much energy and time you're\Nwilling to put into something like this. Just
