- Except MOTH VERSION, lol.
WOW-EE, this was a hot mess of a project. I got to dig into my fabric pile/hoard finally, and try to recreate this vintage costume.
This is a casual, grocery store look? What better way to social distance than to SPREAD THOSE MOTH WINGS, BABEH.
Does anyone actually read these descriptions? lol
I love you all!

This tutorial should be called how to become a vintage cryptid: Mothman
💃💃💃💃💃💃
ah, yes, the merging of my two aesthetics.
Yes! Cryptid: But Make It Vintage series!
Mothma'am?

This made me snort 😂😂😂 but SHHHH I'm sure you look amazing 😂😂❤️❤️❤️❤️

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Very important!! I don't have that, anymore 😭
"The results were not great" hush your mouth Pumpkin Princess Rachel was the CUTEST
The floppiest pumpkin princess 😂😂😂🙈🙈
My thoughts exactly! I audibly said “HEY!”
@@rachelmaksy Did you say "Hobbity-est?" 'Cause if so, I agree
When you're painting on darker fabrics. Put a layer of white down first. It'll make the colours more vibrant. 😊
Noted, thank you!! ❤️
I went looking for this comment
I knew it would be here somewhere
Also works on wood that sucks up a lot of paint.
If fabric is still crunchy then just scrunch if and wiggle it until it gets some movement back.
Queerly Sirius
Also works with makeup 😜
I was just about to comment this same thing when I saw your comment. I wanted to yell into the video to save Rachel all that time and trouble but, alas, she could never hear me.
GratUitous hiPster™
I love your videos, Bernadette!
1:20 “fancy child” is what adults would call me, growing up. Turns out I was just gay.
I was a “wild lil girly”. Turns out I was just pansexual with chaotic vibes- 👌
@@galaxyjam3742 and I was a "painfully shy daydreamer". Turns out I was just asexual with anxiety
@@galaxyjam3742 I was “hyper” and a “troublemaker” turns out I was also just a chaotic pansexual
I'm still a child

"I doubted myself pretty much the entire process," said every crafter/artist ever lol
All day every day. *cries in artist*
*laughs a little too long* Oh yep
So true!
You should do a "But Make It Vintage" for Lydia Deetz from Beetlejuice! (that wig is giving me serious Winona Ryder vibes)
I was getting Mathilda from "The Professional"
Yes! Lydia deetz!
YESSSSS
I agree
It looks just like the one they use for Lydia in the musical
"I am held together with dry shampoo and a deadline" like ouch i felt that WAY too hard
Rachel: "We are going to make me into.... a moth woman"
Me: ĻÄMP
Rachel: this is one of the weirdest things I've done in a video
Me, who watches micarah trewers religiously: oh sugar....
Haha I also was thinking of Micarah
I LOVE MICARAH! Omg her and Rachel could be besties. Their energies 🥺
XD I was thinking the same thing! "how is that weird? Micarah does is all the time..."
They need to do a collab
I though of Micarah as well when she said that! Rachel would love her.
*sees Rachel pull out the Apple Barrel brand acrylic*
Me: oh no honey that stuff is 80% water and 20% disappointment 😭
Holly Hamilton so frustrating to work with!!
Holly Hamilton, my first reaction was, "It must be Craftsmart paint." That brand is WORSE than Apple Barrel.
grittykitty50 Craftsmart is truly the worst, I feel bad when I’ve bought it for my kids, but it’s so cheap and they go through so much.
So it’s the bottom of the barrel huh? Eh? I’ll see myself out 😂
I love apple barrel. Its the great cheap paint ever artist needs. I love using it for making things look dirty, old, broken. For primary designs and base coat. Its so cheap
The orange soaking into the fabric problem was probably caused by two things: very low pigment concentration in the cheap paint, too much fabric medium, and not using a white or bright yellow base layer.
I also wanted to suggest using white as a base layer, because the orange probably is fairly translucent while white/black are often quite opaque and therefore have a cover better. Good luck + way to keep having amazing ideas + creative solutions!
Agree! Even on canvasses, you should do a white wash as a base to help the colors spread easier and pop. Definitely white everywhere then paint it all over.
“Once something goes in the trunk of my car, it doesn’t leave.” We are soul sisters, because I still have a nurse’s kit in there. I quit nursing school 3 years ago.
“I myself am a fancy child” how powerful
The final garment really reminds me of a brazilian book called "O Caso da Borboleta Atíria" (The Case of the Atyria Butterfly). The main plot is about a butterfly called Atíria (which is actually a moth species) who solves a crime that happens amongst the insects in the forest. The book is illustrated with beautiful drawings in ink, and the artist imagined the protagonist with short black hair, a black dress and huge wings, very much like a fairy, and quite similar to your moth costume!
ahh thats so cool!!
This story was performed to me at a restaurant in Juarez.
Cara eu adoro esse livro
Assim que eu vi o conceito que ela ia seguir eu pensei nisso
Gente nunca ouvi falar desse livro 😱
Preciso desse livro! I'm learning Portuguese, and I LOVE moths/butterflies. Unfortunately, it is $60 on Amazon.com.
"Moths are more interesting than butterflies"
Finally someone who understands me! Moths are absolutely beautiful!
Fun fact: my father used to call me "Motte" which is moth in German 😂❤️
Julchen D miss motte do you have more fun facts
It's a popular nickname for little girls. It sounds nicer than SCHMETTERLING.
@@withyoctopus absolutely 😂 my nickname has changed to "Ratte" though 😬😂 so my father literally calls me rat now but in a funny and joking manner 😜
@@julesd304 :D I knew many Rattes in my time. But all of them were teenage punks. Mostly girls, but sometimes guys, too.
Fuzzy antennas best antennas.
Awe! My great grandmother had one of these when she was a teen, her mother sewed it for her, except instead of butterfly wings it was bird wings. This makes my heart happy ❤️
That DEFINITELY looked like the residue of a pagan ritual at the beginning.
😂😂
Said no pagan ever
Hah you right lol
I can *sense* the chaos from the start
Hahaha I am THE EPITOME OF CHAOS
@@rachelmaksy hehehe me to-with everything! :-p
I'll be honest, you seem like EXACTLY the person I'd want to be stuck in isolation with. You're a font of all sorts of interesting projects.
Rachel: "This is one of the weirdest things I've ever done in a video."
Viewers who also watch Micarah Tewers: "That's not weird at all. It's so weird that you never tried it before!"
I don't care I'm watching this in the middle of the night. This is the best anti-depressants
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I rarely leave comments on videos, but just had to say this made me smile the whole time! Thank you for being entertaining and real, your videos are wonderful, as is your creativity!! I really enjoy your projects, your editing style, your personality, your doggo, all the great things!
The mess in the beginning
Me: A BODY, DID SHE MURDER SOMEONE AND WRAP THEM IN DUCK TAPE!!!!!!!??????????!!!!!!!!!!!
NO ONE WILL EVER KNOWWW
Never cross a redhead.
@@hughbrackett343 That's right
My biggest concern was the “things that go in my trunk, never leave” comment.
Rachel: “Can you hand me that black velvet cape?”
Lenny “The Rat”: “Sure Mrs. Rachel, but hey, you gunna whack me and dump me in the quarry any time soon? I’s just been in here for two wee- *trunk lid slam*”
@@andrewrobinson4019 This should be a novel named "the Butterfly and the Body" or something else
No one:
Absolutely no one:
Rachel: t-poses on black cloth
"I just want to be a moth"
*side glances at my homework during isolation* Honestly... Same.
I think it came out really nice. A suggestion for bright acrylics on top of a dark background--underpaint the areas for the bright color with white first.
Mothman?
More like Moth-Ma
💃💃🏼💃😎😎😎😎
"This is how it's like living with me when I'm doing a project." "I havent showered in four days and I'm being held together with an impending deadline." "I doubted myself the whole time." How are you so relatable? Omg.
You know you got a keeper when they bring you cereal.
Rachel: once something goes in the back of my trunk, it never comes out again
Also Rachel: *has a ducktaped human shaped mass on the floor*
Rachel: you'll never know ~
That should be a song title lol...and now i can't stop singing it: "there's a duck-taped-human shaped-mass on the floor, there's a duck taped, human shaped, mass on the floor..." hehehe
@@deliciousexperience689 to the tune of 99 bottles of beer on the wall:
Theres a duct taped human shaped mass on the floor,
A duct taped human shaped maaass;
Chuck it in the trunk
Close it with a thunk
Theres no evidence anywhere anymooore.
You're welcome.
@Greatauntlizbeth G I just logged on to you-tube for the first time in two weeks, and read your comment and was like wahhh thaaa frig is that lady on about?! And then i remembered, ohhhh it was the Rachel Maksy video thing!!! hehehe LOL
You’re the only other person I’ve seen use “that’ll do pig” quote other than me and people always loook at me like “what did you just call me”
My family uses that all the time! We're not alone!
"Fancy dress for children" sounds like something the McElroy brothers came up with
My life is so isolated and introverted as i sit in my dark den crafting i didnt know there WAS covid 19 for a week and didnt know it was quarantine for 3 days
Bc i dont leave my house
I sit here and create and raise hens
Lol that Fleetwood mac joke was so funny, whenever I wear kimonos and hear stevie I always do that swooshy thing you did
what song did she sample?
Underrated joke.
@@austinc5396 "Dreams" by Fleetwood Mac, from the album "Rumours" what Stevie wears on the cover photo is kinda similar to this outfit.
"I myself am... a fancy child"
Who isn't ! 💛💛💛
OH MY GOSH I JUST REALIZED WHAT THIS REMINDS ME OF!!!! It looks like the beetle man in Thumbelina!!!! WHAT A VIBE
Yaaaaaaaaas!! I love that movie so much! And the beetles and her beetle costume were all beautiful!
a little tip from an artist who likes painting on dark pieces of canvas n stuff, go down with a layer or two of white before plopping down the brighter tones/colors! it'll help make it pop and it shouldn't soak through the fabric, i think. i've honestly never painted on fabric asides from my graduation cap lmao
As soon as you brought your own version of a mannequin out, I diedddd 😂😂
My MONSTEEEER
I wondered wtf it was when it was laying in the back on the floor! Then she plopped it down and I lost it 😂😂😂
Me too! hahaha
i love how your music goes from ragtime to russian house in an instant
Literally as I scrolled past.
Me at the start of the video: I'm really going to need Rachel to deliver with the lamp jokes
Me at the end of the video: *crying with joy* tHanK yOu 😭
"I have been living in this robe for the past 2 weeks."
Thank god! I'm completely normal!!
HOLY MOTH-er of pearl! Looking great just the content we need during this quarantine!
Heehee thank you my love!!!
I completely forget that people have basements lmao very beautiful wings though!
😂😂❤️❤️❤️
Rachael "this is one of the weirdest thing's I've done in a video"
its okay, you can be weirder. We believe in you. YOU CAN DO IT!!!!
Had to smile when you said "That'll do, pig". It was my sister's favourite saying when we were clearing my parent's house last year after my father died. Not as miserable as it sounds, honest!
All I kept hearing was the "moth man" version of the ymca song from tiktok every time you said moth
Can u send a link?
Sircatsem ruclips.net/video/2jnCwbXaDhM/видео.html I think this is it
I'm so glad you share your difficult crafting moments with us! It's really easy to look at the sewing and cosplay community and feel like everything they always put out is meticulous and perfect, so I love how you show us that it isn't always easy going! And for the record, I think this turned out amazing despite the stress!
„And we have fun here“... Well, except for Rachel. She doesn’t get to have fun. She gets to have panic attacks instead. 😂😭
I am so touched, impressed, and inspired by how vulnerable you allow yourself to be when the project seems to be presenting itself as hot garbage. Your persistence made me wanna play "Eye Of The Tiger"! And THEN, it turned out to be pretty dang cute anyway! (I mean your makeup, dress, and general chaaaarm did a lot for the outfit) but yeah, what a journey! Thankyou!
A genuine laugh escaped my mouth, when Fleetwood Mac's "Dreams" came on and Rachel low key trying to be Stevie Nicks.
XD XD XD
PS: Stay safe Rachel! Love all the way from Malaysia. ❤❤❤
Saaaaameeee,😆😆😆😆
LaÄMPp 🦋 (we need a moth emoji and DUDE I LOVE MOTH JOKES)
Rachel: * makes something gorgeous and cool *
Me: Wow it's so cool! I can't do like that
Rachel: I don't like what I'm done, definitely not my favourite
Me:
Me: Shut up you're the coolest person in the world, every of your works boiled in inspiration and aesthetic. You think 'what would Evie wear?' everyone else think 'what would Rachel wear?' okay? Okay
Open hands "ARMPITS".
You're just the greatest ❤️
"I, myself, am a fancy child." So relatable...
I feel like your a lower energy Jenna marbles, I mean this as a compliment.
Oddtoo they are both earth signs in astrology and are crafty ladies.
Jenna Marbles if her one fear wasn't sewing, lol
I earnestly love this video, the candidness about the process and it's faults along the way make me feel so validated in my own costuming struggles. I've been in this place many times when I don't have enough time, everything is going wrong, and I simply have to push through and get the costume out anyways. Seeing a professional, that has in my mind 'made it' so to speak, struggle in the way that I do, and be honest about it, gives me such a boost of confidence in my own work and helps me feel like I, too, can make it someday even as I struggle and stumble. Thank you. You are a true inspiration.
Rachel: this is the weirdest thing i've ever done
Micarah, who uses snickers and hershey bars as measurement: *Hold my Bzelda*
Rachel and Micarah should do a collab! They're both amazing
”...and I myself am...a fancy child.”
Same.
I recently started catching myself singing “goooood enoooough” and it just cracked me up the first time it happened 🤣🤣🤣
Anna K omg I do this all the time and only just connected why 😂😂
Katherine Richardson
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The first time I just heard myself singing it and was all: wait wut!?
The second time: ..... so this has become a thing now!?
I have accepted it
"Quarentine-oween" 😂
I'm glad you're glad. 😂😂😂
It sucks when something doesn't go as planned, but it turned out really nice. ❤️
Thank you for being honest about making mistakes and being rushed and not making your deadlines, because I'm also trying to learn how to make my own costumes and I get really stressed when my costumes aren't done in time for ren faires or Halloween and it makes me feel so much better to know I'm not alone in this
"When something goes in the trunk of my car ... It never leaves LMBO HHHAAAAAHHHHHHAAAAA 😂😂😂😂"
"I just wanna be a moth."
M O O D
My favorite mug says "im surrounded by idiots" i think you know were that is from i got it from my brother as a christmas gift i asked him "why this mug?" he said "i thought it suited you" i love him so much 😂
4:49 Is that.... Is that a VERY fancy painting of your sweet dog?
Now that you are on the tik of the tok you should use the “Mothman!” Audio tehehe
Tik of the tok hahaaa
Oh PLEASE DO RACHEL
Cool! Reminds me of the character Tessie Tura and her costume from the musical "Gypsy!" And that is awesome!!
I'm just glad people are appreciating moths more 😊 they are just as beautiful as butterflies.
huge amount of work/small amount of time.
huge likelihood of failure/small chance of success.
Rachel jumps right in. that's why we love her.
This is like a Halloween aesthetic western fashion inspired take of best butterfly girl Shinobu's yukata from Kimetsu no Yaiba. I like it. Also omg that song at the end gave me that one commercial flashbacks and now it's stuck in my head again after years of not hearing it.
this content is too relatable, like if this ain't me everytime I try to do ANYTHING
i'm emo about how much frodo loves rachel and needs to be by her side every minute 😭🥰♥️
I love this! The one thing I've done creative that wasn't for class during this quarantine is finish the sunflower I was painting on the back of a denim shirt. I deeply, deeply feel that lack of opacity and the patchiness issue. I was ready to scrap it until I found fabric paint hidden away I bought and never used. It was the wrong color, but putting down two layers of it made a world of difference
11:55 i was waiting for "IT EEEEEZ WAHT IT EEEZ"
This video is exactly what I need rn 😂❤️
🤗🤗❤️❤️❤️
That first clip is precisely why I have a entire bedroom for my craft stuff!
man i still really like this project, the way the wings open up to that stark white breakup pattern is so striking, and the little velvet outfit underneath is so cute and love that its like the fluffy body of a moth :0 it sucks that painting went so painfully but it turned out great and also neat that you used all materials that you already had around! I'm always trying to pick projects that I don't have to buy all new materials for, it makes me feel a little better about the craftdragon hoard when it sees some use lol
I needed this SO badly! My cat Chip passed away on Tuesday, your video helped me smile❤😊❤Stay Safe & Well♥♥♥
Meandmy Tea I’m sorry for the loss of your kitty! Hugs!
The "Yip Yip" and "THE LAMP" made me laugh so hard!!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂 And personally I think your outfit turned out great! Especially considering you had to use what materials you already had. I've been watching your videos for over a year now and you've not only inspired me to create my own things, but to try cosplay as well! Keep doin whatcha doin 😁
The lil forehead kiss of "it'll be okay" during the captain crunch break, awww 😭
Twenties is a good vintage era for you. I thought I was the only one who loves night butterflies.
when painting dark fabric, try painting a base coat of white
Rachel, you hair is too cute in the intro. I’ve been trying to keep myself from getting bangs....BUT YOUR HAIR IS TOO CUTE.
The brown orange made it look so much more moth-y than if it came out orange orange so.. That's a win in my book
I honestly really like the splotching for the orange part, it looks natural and unique.
Imagine being this talented, I could never!😂
that robe in the intro looks super super comfy, do you remember where you got it? also always here for MothMan/Woman content 11/10 video as always Rachel! :)
Sarah Connors I was wondering the exact same thing
The moth and the lamp scene at the end made my entire day!
I watched the strawberry bat dress right before this and I think that the bat fabric would look excellent on the unpainted parts of the wings of this look
5:55 me used to that cus Micarah
No kidding, my first thought when I saw this was "That looks fly!" 😂 (Sorry, I'll see myself out)
Mc Fly, hey Mc Fly!
(And please insert Marty's father's laugh here :D )
You're gonna be such a cool mom. Your arts and crafts game is gonna be STRONG.
Who needs deadlines!? We will never know, we’re just happy when you have a new video☺️
Watching this is giving me flashbacks to the first time I tried painting the velvet covering on a vintage chair. #wheredidallthepaintgo
I love this project of yours. The patternstructure, the colours, the popping make up, combined with the wig. It has a loveble feeling. :-)
Firstly, *THAT HALLOWEEN COSTUME WAS HELLA CUTE!*
Secondly, this is more my vibe and love it as well ♥️♥️♥️
I'm a beginner in the sewing community,the paint bleeding onto the back makes it look awesome.
