How I Made the Galaxy Skirt // Sequins on Tulle

- Опубликовано: 5 янв 2020
- I knew I needed something with a bit of sparkle for the final look of the Star Wars style video, so I pulled out an old box of nylon tulle and got to work! Here is how I made the galaxy tulle skirt overlay.

"I made this couture dress by hand in two days while building a set. "
How very Project Runway of you, Bianca! 😆
Ha too true ;) Thank you Chae!
Chae Howar
Haha... I was thinking this woman must be a burner - both making costumes AND a set - and if you are not Bianca you should be... ;)
FOR REAL!! VERY PROJECT RUNWAY!!
I made the mistake of letting my daughter see your video and it looks like I will be beading some tulle in my future.
Opps!
As a vintage loving astrophysicist, I just want to say “Wauw!” I want one too!
Thank you!
I would love to see as many embroidery or beading videos as you could stand to make. Watching people bead stuff makes my heart go 💖
I’ve been trying to figure out how to sew sequins onto a costume without the thread being visible to hold it down. Using a bead at the center is an ingenious idea and will make it look even more visually interesting! I love learning small tricks and tips from your videos.
Thank you! It was how my grandma taught me to sew on individual sequins once when I was young, I remember she was embellishing a top one time before a family get together and taught me :)
Hi Sean.... Just wondering had you thought of trying Gutermann Invisible Thread..
I actually lost my breath when this skirt came out in the original video. Gorgeous.
Same! Literally gasped, it's incredible.
I got tears in my eyes 🥺
Thank you Mandy!
Thank you all!
Stunning project, and I really enjoyed seeing the process behind it all. Thank you also for talking about "leaning into your limitations" -- valuable advice there!
Thank you Nancy!
Tulle overskirts often have no fastening at the back opening, I made a 50's bridal dress like that with a four layer overskirt, love the dress and would love to see you make more fancy gowns!
BEAUTIFUL!! i wonder the designer who created the STAR WARS costumes designed costumes for HOUSE OF THE DRAGON.STUNNING! And Bianca, gurl, you worked that skirt! FABULOUS!!
Your patience and talent never ceases to amaze. Another stunning project.
Thank you Gillian!
This is absolutely breathtaking! That star map idea is genius.
Thank you Avery!
I am so jealous that you got to see the Costumes of Star Wars exhibition. I bet it was AMAZING!
I loved it, would gladly go again!
Hi, B! Love your eye makeup. Really love the gold/yellow placement. 👍👍🤗
Thank you Debra!
I ❤️ this skirt. The original version is just as intriguing. Very high fashion looking. Epic!
Thanks for all kinds of thought provoking inspiration.
Thank you Darnelle!
Happy New Year, lady! I love the eye look and the Galaxy skirt just as much as the black sateen dress. To answer your question, if we would like to see more sequining and embroidery type videos the answer is, Yes! The skirt was so simple I think I might make one too.
Thank you! Happy New Year!
I LOVE YOUR HUMOR! I actually see you as very sophisticated. Both skirts are wonderful!
Thank you!
I actually do most of my sewing for 18 inch American Girl type dolls…a few years ago they did a spaced themed Girl of The Year doll. She had a space station as her big accessory, which cost $350. Needless to say I didn’t buy it. I have spent a fair amount of time trying to figure out how to craft one. Your set has given me inspiration! It looks like a rusting space ship! I really enjoy your creative process.
Very pretty and dramatic. Two days, well spent! You've just reminded me that I want to learn how to tambour bead, which I shouldn't do because I don't have room or time for more sewing related interests and what the hell am I doing with it afterwards? I mean I hate socialising and I live in sweatpants and pyjamas so can't imagine I'll need a fancy frock anytime soon. But I will absolutely watch content that involves embellishing/beading fabric.
You can sell them, you make apliques to decor other stuff or garments, and since it would be on small areas it would easier and less intimidating to start with....just a though 🤔
@@belindacoba5158 you are right of course. I make a lot of bags and a small evening clutch would be the perfect canvas for this kind of beading. I'd have to teach myself though as I haven't found anyone teaching this skill in my part of the world.
Thank you! Luckily the teacher I took tambour beading from has a RUclips channel! I took a course at the Royal School of Needlework in the UK, but he teaches all over, including online :)
I am just discovering your channel right now. ....and...I am hooked! I am a doll player and sew a lot for my 16" ( R.Tonner , integrity girls) they are shouting at me they want this wonderful skirt even the on you wore at Paris is quite magical. I will appreciate more sequins/beads tutorial as this one. even the close up was explicit enough . thanks for your time with us
Thank you!
You are ridiculously gorgeous, Bianca, and your makeup in this video is mesmerizing. Meanwhile, you whipped up that stunning celestial skirt. Cheers, Ardith
Thank you Ardith!
Amazing as always. I love listening to you explain your creative process. Very inspirational!
Thank you Heidi!
A beautiful job. Well thought out . Really lovely.
Thank you Linda!
Fantastic! I loved hearing your thought process, and of course, the skirt is really effective.
Thank you Kristy!
Thank you! Very lovely! The set is awesome! More sparkles!
Thank you!
Breathtaking!
Thank you!
Astounding in the best way. Yes make more projects like this. You amaze at every turn.
Thank you!
Such a magical skirt! I love it. Keep up with the good work!
Thank you!
I love how this turned out. I am wanting to make this.
Very cool and forgiving idea for a fancy and stunning looking skirt!! I kind of want to try this now!!!
This dress is a dream! Congrats omg
Thank you!
Oh my o my what lovely sequins, etc. You truly have made my day. Have been needing some sequins and now I can orders some for beading lovely bugs and some brooches. Thank you.
Have fun! They would be great for beading bugs indeed :)
This is such a stunning skirt! You continue to amaze me 😊
Thank you Bea!
I’m gonna try the beading/sequin technique on my next project. Thanks Bianca!
Wow! What an amazing skirt! Breathtaking!
Thank you Denise!
The skirt looks amazing!
Thank you!
Absolutely ADORE the skirt. Thanks for the video.
Thank you!
I am looking to make an overskirt for my wedding dress with a star chart sewn onto it. This video honestly is the best explanation of the "easiest" way to achieve that. Thank you so much you've made my dreams possible.
That sounds super lovely!
I really love the skirt and the whole look you put together! It flows, sparkles....so glamorous. Very Star Wars. Great job!
Rewatching this, reflecting on my newly discovered fascination for and love with the nightsky and astronomy, along with my ongoing love for star wars and a new interest and research in beading and sequins (for a 1920s inspired dress).
Just stunning and gorgeous!!!
Sequins and tulle, two of my favorite words! ;o). You looked beautiful!
Thank you Tereza!
That skirt was STUNNING! Thanks for showing!
Thank you!
Staying in and re-watching my favourites on youtube. I still adore this skirt. Stunning!
Thank you Caroline!
Oh my gosh, that brooch! 😍 I know I’m late to the party but slowly working my way through all your videos
You are just amazing...so talented in so many areas.
Thank you Brenda!
Your makeup is giving me LIFE!! LOVE it!!!!
Thank you!
I have always wanted to make something with sequins and tons of beads. Maybe this will be the year. Thank you for showing this!
Do it! It's such fun :)
Ya thanks alot!!!! As if I don't have enough fabric, notions, stuff at my house....now I just ordered 100.00 worth of sequins!!!!! 😍
Happy to be of service ;)
LOVE the skirt and the constellations with sequins are soooo pretty! Thanks, Bianca - I loved this video (I didn't know how to attach sequins before this!) ;)
Thank you Claire!
I love how you try to do it all with doubt then you do it all! Never doubt your ability to push through the creative gremlins.
Thank you Melissa!
I couldn't breathe when I saw the reveal! It's so so so amazing!
Thank you!
Wow you’re a rockstar for sewing that up in two days and with hand sewing all of those sequins! 😱😱😱 btw looooved your makeup!
Thank you Charese!
They're both beautiful skirts. I really loved the full length circle skirt-very dramatic. super darling.
Thank you Lynne!
This was my favorite in the look book, and I'm so thankful you showed some of the process!! At first I assumed you had done the colored circles on the solid skirt and put the tulle over (I've done that with lace overskirts before and love the look) but this was such an innovative route to take!
Watching you tackle such in depth, detailed projects and sharing the process has really made me feel like I can handle more involved things, so thank you for offering up such a wealth of information to the world! 💙
Thank you Jo!
I’m getting so excited to start learning to sew and honestly to see one day I might be able to make skirts that look this amazing just inspires me so much! You always look stunning but this look especially looked incredible on you it’s amazing to think you actually made it xx
Thank you Beverley!
If you can make those sets you can easily make yourself an embroidery frame, they make a huge difference to what you can embroider. Your channel is perfection, it’s so good to have someone making such quality items! Keep on truckin.
Thank you! You do have a point, I can use power tools a bit now so really I could probably manage it ;)
It's beautiful!! I would love to see projects with embellishments and embroidery and all the fancy stuff of you make them in the future! 💙
Thank you Josie!
The makeup colors are lovely. Excellent skirt. 12:12 used this idea concept thing while making my xmas presents for my parents. First time knitter, attempted a scarf. Got a foot of workable material done before my brain quit. Turned into a purse. Had some extra creations from my first couple attempts that i turned into a hairclip bow. Made my dad a notebook but was limited on craft items. So used my wall paint sample jar and glitter glue and scrapbook stickers to made a rustic/eclectic style decoration.
13:46 same. Like i just mentioned, beginner knitter trying a scarf that needs to be done in eighteen days.
Thank you Rachel! I am a VERY slow knitter so I feel this ;)
What a huge amount of work (and stress) you go through for us.
Thank you!
Beautiful! Beautiful! Both galaxy skirts are beautiful! And that is a lot of work. I like the 20-minute length. Everything about this video is wonderful. This is just a thought: you probably could color sequins and stars with alcohol inks. Alcohol ink can be used on plastic. Maybe sequins and stars with a small amount of alcohol ink in a lidded jar. Shake it all about. Viola! I think.
I love both of your skirts! In fact, your whole Star Wars collection is great! Also, I love that you mentioned the Star Wars costume exhibit. I saw it when it came through Detroit and was super impresses! I always look forward to your videos. the amount of work you put into them is so impressive! Keep up the good work!
Thank you!
Both versions of the skirt are amazing, thanks for talking us through it process.
The makeup is great too. (not it process THE process)
Thank you Kaye!
I LOVE it but the old one was awesome too!! :) it looked so appropriately French painterly.
Thank you Tina!
Wonderful! I love watching these kind of videos because I am getting more into adding these sequined details to my own sewing projects. More in the future would be great. And yes I did go to the Cartwright website and purchase a few things. So thanks for that lol.
Thank you! I have more sequins from them than I'm ever likely to use oops ;)
You're just loaded with talent!
Thank you!
it looks amazing!
Thank you!
Absolutely beautiful
Thank you Sandra!
Freaking gorgeousness 😍. I definitely vote for more embroidery/sequins videos.
Thank you!
This skirt is just so unbelievably *stunning*! Always love to see the how-it's-made part. Also now we need a video of your favorite podcasts to listen to while sequining/sewing!
Thank you Cait! As for the podcasts it was Mostly Dear Hank& John, Delete This, and Sci Show Tangents during this project!
Hi Bianca.. Eye makeup is so beautifully done.. Vlog is awesome as always.. Your look book was stunning.. Totally feel in LOVE with this skirt, you did a phenomenal job (even if you were short on time)..
Thank you Deana!
Love both skirts. Your make up looks very Cleopatra-esque. Gorgeous x
Thank you Claire!
The construction of this skirt was so different from what I expected it would be. Thanks for showing us how you made it! Another great video.
Thank you!
I don't have a project that involves sequins, but now I think I'll just have to make something with them! Love this skirt so much!
Thank you!
Stunning! 😍
Thank you!
Such a stellar creation and I truly hope that you can attend events to show it off!
Thank you!
That skirt is delicious! Yes please more embellishment projects. Thank you.
Thank you Susan!
yo im in love with this skirt and your make up look so good
Thank you!
Yes I’d love to see more embellished theme outfits from you.
Fabulous!!
C'est Magnifique!
Thank you!
So beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Your work and videos are fabulous! My favorite RUclips channel!
Thank you!
I am so impressed with that Galaxy skirt. I thought the planets were on the under skirt. It is way more impressive looking at the finished outfit. I really like your make up also. Has color pop come out with a new pallet? I know Huda has a new one. Thank you for sharing your talent with us. Wonderful 2020 to you. More videos would be welcome.
Thank you! Colourpop haven't put out anything tempting in a while in my opinion, I'm hoping for some fun releases this next year instead of more and more neutrals!
OMG are you a magician or what!!!
you made my day with your video
thank you from the bottom of my heart..
and astonishing advice to lean in to your imperfections i really needed to hear that...thank you so much and keep going please 💪
Thank you Shaimaa!
I really love it it got me ideas for my art project about my Autism doing jigsaw puzzles in different colours
Brilliant idea. I would love to see that project. Hopefully, you can share it on RUclips with everyone.
Thank you Aimee! Good luck with the project!
@@TheClosetHistorian thank you xx
You are very patient. I couldn't do that much hand sewing. The skirt i marvelous. Think you are a brilliant and talented lady. Thanks for sharing. Meg
Thank you Meg!
very gorgeous! I wish I just had yards of black tulle lying around. lol. what a special skirt. very interesting to see how your approach to this project evolved.
Thank you Caroline!
This is beautiful!
Thank you!
I love the tulle overlay. All of the work you put into it really did pay off Bianca, it is gorgeous.
Thank you Tracie!
@@TheClosetHistorian You're welcome
Your make up is gorgeous! 😍
Thank you!
14:56 constellation 🌌 star 🌟 amazingly beautiful. I’m going to say it look better in person than on video!!
Thank you for sharing your thought process and technical side of making this skirt (and all your other creations). One of my resolutions for this year to incorporate more sewing projects along with my other crafts. So far I've made a wrap top that isn't a 100% where I want it to be but is wearable (I tried to pattern draft it), a no-fail skirt (you know, the shirred kind off the bolt that just needs a seam) and another one, but I added loops to attach clear straps for a summer dress so it's a two-in one, and a sweatshirt dress! I think I'm off to a good start. Pattern drafting is harder than it looks--to me anyway. So I really appreciate that you talk about your techniques and what you did to achieve the look of the garment and how to get things to be a certain way. Maybe one day it'll click for me.
Thank you! Sounds to me like you are off to a very productive start! I haven't made anything new yet in 2020, but have a lot planned soon :)
Wow! This was amazing! I have a couple of overskirts, but they are mostly lace. I never thought to use tulle. Also, I never guessed that that was how you did that. I really liked the planets on it, and from a distance, they read like they are part of the fabric of the underskirt. Leaning into the flaws and limitations is a very interesting idea. That's like what we were told when I was working on my art degree -- if you make a mistake, repeat it two more times and it becomes a design feature. Love your stuff! Keep it up! YAY!
Thank you Michelle! Exactly, not mistakes "design features" indeed! ;)
Love the skirt!
Thank you!
Yes to beads, embroidery and anything shinny. I am a magpie all things that glitter. I felt that this dress was right on that 50s modernist aesthetic, "awesome" :}
Thank you Tricia!
@@TheClosetHistorian your very welcome 😁😄😃😉 Bianca.:)
So impressed!
Thank you!
Wow amazing. So cool. I’m so making this.
Thank you! Do it!
The skirt is beautiful.
Thank you Katrice!
I truly loved your new long galaxy skirt. The larger circles photographed extremely well and by far it is my favourite! I too love the intricacy of couture work which would be needed for an heirloom outfit you intend to pass down through generations - like a baby christening gown. But not everything needs to be that extravagant or impractical. You are too hard on yourself. Please accept my sincere compliments on your ability to create a design and execute it. You GET THINGS DONE this is amazing!!
Video Idea: When you do your next purchase from Cartwright sequin store would it be possible for you to walk thru how you purchase (and do the unboxing) a next how you would use these sequins? I looked at all the bright shiny things and was excited but despite all my years of sewing and needlework - never did anything with sequins. Quickly got overwhelmed.
❤️🇨🇦❤️
Thank you! I can't say I have an order planned or any embellished projects lines up at this time, but if/when I do, I can go over how I selected materials for sure!
That would be appreciated and I am in no rush - I think you need a few days to pause and gather yourself after such a monumental effort
❤️🇨🇦❤️
Crazy talented . Just Beautiful..
Thank you Nancy!
Amazing work
Thank you Linda!
Would love to see more sequin projects from you.
