Hi!! It has been brought to my attention that using the word "banger" to describe "Zombie" by The Cranberries was a VERY BAD choice of words (considering the political weight and backstory of that song), so I want to apologize for that and have removed it from the video. I will definitely do more research into the references I choose going forward, I never want anyone to feel upset with the wording I choose, but please believe it's usually just a foresight on my end and never on purpose
Due to the removal of this clip, the subtitles are now also off as the subtitles for that section are still in the video. I dont know the work it takes to sub but I hope it's easily fixed
Why be so damn afraid of it. Good lord thank god we aren’t depending on the current generation to defend a nation against a invading fire. They’d be too busy being offended at being attacked to actually save the world 😳 I fear for this country and I sissified , tender over emotional youth. Good god get over yourselves and live your life
@@autumnroberts3086 God forbid we try to care about others, but go on I guess, you who has emotions of steel, enough that you come in there to complain about something that absolutely does not concern you.
Okay but you in the green dress in front of the open shelving made you look like a florist in a small town who bakes her own bread and has a million pets and builds her own shelves and 80% of the town regardless of gender are in love with you
I was thinking about that! Now that she's freeing up a bit of her time as she said in a previous video, it's really showing in her work. The dress in this video was just simply stunning! She seemed somewhat more relaxed and it showed in the details, i.e. the little hint of lace under the layers of tulle. It was just so subtle and gorgeous. And all that hand-stitching made it a masterpiece.
That part of the movie just accumulated to the sadness that was the boys life. So deviod of love and affection that of course the only female who pays attention to him with care he wants to marry.
HALLLOOO I'm sorry no auto-captions right away, it's getting late and ya girl needs some Z's so I needed to publish! Will do proper captions first thing tomorrow OK I LOVE YOU BYE
Hey you know your dog knows stepping on it’s foot is an accident especially if you immediately apologize, it’s how they play and sometimes if a sibling is too rough they will yip and the sibling will immediately begin licking and cuddling to apologize. So yeah Frodo knows you didn’t mean to hurt him.
Just by the thumbnail, this dress makes me want to run through fields, into a forest, then into old castle ruins all while carrying antique books, and just spend the day reading and admiring nature as the sunlight streams through the old windows of the castle.
Fun fact: dogs recognise when you're sorry about hurting them, so yeah, the 'omg i'm so sorry here have a cuddle' and that dopey grin they give you is their 'it's okay mama i forgive you' sooooo the more you know?
I think I look angry too when I'm sewing. Inside I'm like "ouh I love the sound of the machine.. uuh it looks so good" and my face is "NO NO NO NO NOOOOOOOOOOOO!" but in French x) .
@@rachelmaksy yes we do! I don't like seeing you upset but honestly your first But Make It Vintage with the Poison Ivy dress where you're quietly raging? Still in my top 10 faves of yours.

I want this as merch (shirt, enamel pin, canvas bags that we take with us to ”that fabric store,” or tall mug that we can also slurp from in a satisfactory way), but most of what I was finding is from the Disney movie featuring a small, grumpy, Elvis-loving, Hawaiian alien. Similar facial expression but not quite what I was looking for.
As someone who's made a few bustier tops, the problem wasn't you, Rachel, it was the pattern - bustier tops need to be really fitted under the bust in order for the cups to work, in a way that normal dress bodices aren't, because they're meant to go from bust to waist smoothly. Still, this turned out *SO BEAUTIFUL* and the sleeves are amazing and your makeup looks gorgeous and I love the choice of fabric. Your work is always so impressive! And you made the boob cups so much easier, I can't believe I never thought of doing it that way instead of three individual pieces.
@@cleoharper1842 the good thing about making clothes is you can make them more full coverage if you need to. Make them booby cups who cares if others don't like it as long as you do
I don’t know the ✨magic✨ behind it, but florals just hit different, man. You wear a floral embroidery once, and then just want to shove petals into everything. Every. Thing.
If Rachel can make an AMAZING dress while being a confused floor troll, I can make an AMAZING quilt while being a confused floor troll! Thank you for being the best inspiration and motivation I've had in years.

I think she should have made panels of it to put under the skirt top layer but then I don't know how hard it is to cut and sew. Judging from the video possibly very difficult.
None of my local stores have any! I ordered my wedding dress about 2 months ago and it has this fabric and I want some to make something matching for my fiancé
I only have 2 things to say about this: 1) that dress is stunning😍 2) I’m sure you probably said “hobbit maiden dress” but at first I definitely heard “hobbit mating dress.” We all need one of each in our wardrobe 🤷🏼♀️
I personally love all your 80's, 90's, and 2000's references because we're the same age and it feels like we had the same taste in almost everything while growing up lol. Ooooh, nostalgia.✨
Totally agree. I just hope that she can send us (me really) some pointers on how she makes such Awesome videos. Being in my mid 40's, I now need a 5yr old to explain my phone to me (not far from the truth. The girls all have iPhone so they are of little assistance in this matter). Also Please tell me where you fabric shop! That embroidered fabric is beautiful, as are the accoutrements. Thank you for listening to random old(ish) person.
I definitely understand the feelings you had while watching the 1993 version of The Secret Garden. If you want to give a different adaptation a try, watch the 1987 version. They got rid of the weird creepy cousin stuff in that adaptation.
I dont care what anyone says....... Rachel is the new bob ross.. no mistakes just happy accidents... that get turned into comedy gold. I dont like a lot of content creators, but when I want to learn and laugh I go straight to this channel. As a dude who is sarcastic and sews.... this is my heaven.
The 1993 version is my mom's favorite movie. It was filmed at Highclere Castle which is where they filmed Downton Abbey. I went there when I was studying abroad last year. TOTAL out-of-body experience!!!
One thing I learned by living in a haunted sorority is that you can’t be too impressed by the ghost. I’d be way too busy to be scared of the door rattling, so I’d just tell the ghost that if they wanted to scare me they’d have to conjure up an apparition.
i bet your boyfriend/husband (haven't been watching these for long so i honestly don't know) thinks your the most beautiful person when filming the reveal scene. you just look so happy! i love your videos!
HELL YEAH FOR NATURE 🌱🌿 Edited to add: whenever I step on my cat's paws I stop everything and spent 15 minutes gently stroking his face and telling him I love him and I'm sorry. I think he gets underfoot deliberately now because he's figured out it's a good way to get attention when I'm doing housework
@@liv97497 I know right? My cat is always underfoot and will run under my feet literally as I'm walking, and I have to fall over if I don't want to step on his entire body 🤦♀️
My 6yo at the reveal: "I love it! I want it. You should make me one." Child, I have way too much on my sewing list to add a new project to it right now. Lol
Things I desperately want from this video in ADDITION to the gorgeous dress: Cream embroidered mask, every adorable stretchy crop top worn, the green pinafore, THAT PIN CUSHION omg, "aesthetic basement"
I just wanted to say that the difference between your newest (post channel-update) videos and your older ones is... crazy, not just in quality (because I could tell you had so much more breathing room for the project and the editing) but because the editing was so much more... playful? Like, I could tell you had so much fun making this video, and editing it. You seem so relaxed and happy and creative, and I just... made me so happy to see?? i've been watching you in earnest since the beginning of 2020, and I never realized how much pressure you put on yourself to put out videos each week until these newer videos, where you have so much more space and time to make something you're proud of. I just want to know how happy I was to see it, and how much happier I feel when I watch your videos now. And I just want to validate your choice to change your channel schedule--I am SO happy to wait a little longer for a video if it's full of you being creatively joyful and relaxed. Congrats to you for doing what's best for you; as a fan, I'm so happy for you. (Also, I must reiterate my thanks to you for making your video about watching the Mummy with an Egyptologist; Dr. Darnell bought my grandparents' house after my grandma's passing, and I was too young at the time to think to stay in touch with her and her husband, so when I saw my grandma's living room in your video, where I spent so many happy christmases and easters, I sat on my couch and cried for about an hour, while watching your hilarious video over and over. it probably feels insignificant to you but thank you for bringing Dr. Darnell and that gorgeous house back into my life.) Sincerely, A fairly recent but VERY enthusiastic fan
I haven’t watched it since I was little, but I do remember being absolutely terrified of the part when her parents die and she’s hiding under the bed. Also there was some kind of figurine giraffe or something of the sort. So yeah, fever dream does sum it up pretty well.
Lol, it’s the closest one to the book, but yeah, it was weird, especially with the Colin wanting to marry his cousin line, I have no idea why they added that in there!
The first time I watched it was on a bus trip to NYC with my parents when I was like 6. I was heartbroken I couldn't get mcnuggets at 9 am and was absolutely terrified of mummies for years after because of the museum. The movie did not improve my experience 😂.
Frodo was giving me major Nana (Peter Pan) vibes in that little white bonnet. And I envy your ability to sew with sheer fabric, it's like sewing water...but more slippery.
Wanted to congratulate you on what a good job you did on this dress. You don’t give yourself enough credit. It was really pretty. I love flowers and anything floral. This was beautiful Rachel, can’t wait to see what you come up with in the future. Your talent just keeps improving💚 sending you love from the UK🇬🇧
I'm generally a passive viewer but I was absolutely delighted to suddenly see a new video pop up on my feed. Rachel Maksy's videos help me decompress after a hard day working with the public.
"Resting Stitch Face" has no right to be as funny as it is, but I think I'd throw money at RSF merch. I love your ability to make something beautiful and have me laugh-crying throughout the entire process.
Nooooo, dear @Rachel Maksy you MUST SEE the REAL original Secret Garden movie from 1949, with adorable little Margaret o'Brien! 🌷 That kinda awkward 1990’s version and the new have got nothin’ on the beautiful storytelling and truth of children learning to be unselfish that the old one has. ✨ Not to mention, the 1949 version is true to the intent of the book, where the others take their own direction. Give it a watch, I think you’ll appreciate it. 🙃 BUT, in other news... This dress is all things beautiful. 🥰 Wonderful work Rachel!
When I was five, my parents let me pick out a name for our new dog, and without hesitation I picked Archie solely because I liked to yell this moment from the 1993 version: “Ahhhrchie, I’m in the gaaaaaarden”.
just last week I heard a woman call for her son, Archie, who'd run off, in an almost identical tone to the film and I completely froze. like does she know? does she not know? I can't tell her?? but then I had "I'm in the garden" echoing in my head the rest of the day 😅
I swear rachel's videos are my escape from reality at this point. the REVEAL part is 10/10 am literally mesmerized *-* the music took me to a whole new world I NEED TO KNOW THE NAME OF THE MUSIC PLAYING T__T
I was so obsessed with the original Secret Garden. When I was a kid, I would find old keys and carry them around. I would pretend that every garden was my secret garden, and “unlock” them with my magic keys.
Oh my gosh same And one time I locked myself out of my room because I wanted to open it with a key I found, but my door didn't have a keyhole somehow so, dreams and doors were crushed.
Yes, the original is very beautiful. As for the remake Idk since I haven't seen it. But remakes have proven to never be as good as the original. Let alone better.
I read the book first and the 90's film was very true to it a bit of extra embellishment, because film, but I could live with it. Dame Maggie Smith was perfect as Mrs Medlock.
Okay, I am now completely and utterly obsessed with this project and have an insane need to make some sot of flowy, magical, forest, fairy, elf, something or other dress like this for myself! Do I have anywhere to wear such a project? No, of course not, but I will happily wander through my house in it going about my daily tasks.
Using zip ties as corset boning? WHY IN THE FLYING FLUFF DID I NEVER THINK OF THAT?!?! I feel stupid for the money I’ve spent on actual corset boning! This dress is gorgeous! You look like an elegant forest nymph!
Beautiful!! Xxx 💗 💗 all the lovely flowers reminded me how obsessed I was with Basis Zarzycka's wedding dresses in the late 90s /early naughties. She had one where the hem was full of real peonies! Glorious 💕💕
The amount of serotonin this gave me. Literally was sitting down to cry over finals, but then I saw the notification for this video, and my whole day got better. Thank you for being your beautiful chaotic self and bringing a smile to us sad folks.
I'm not someone who subscribes to RUclipsrs often. Pretty rare. I clicked that button in the first 30 seconds. I love her humor and personality. Definitely one of my favorite sewer youtube so far.
The 93 secret garden was my favorite movie as a kid. Mary was a huge style inspiration for me, especially as the garden gets healthier and her clothes get brighter. In my head, Mary ends up with Dickon, the farmer boy, not her jerk cousin.
Hey I hope you see this! The easiest way to get those flower applications from the tulle fabric is getting a wood burning tool, and tracing them! The burning tool cauterizes the fabric so the embroidery doesn’t unravel, and you can attach them anywhere (you just wanna clean the tool tip a lot so you don’t get scorch marks on the fabric)
Awesome! I just searched wood burning tool.....and read a Soldering Iron works at a lower temperature, so I will go search for the old 1 in my shed! Free is good
Rachel I adore you. Your humour is the same as mine and I always giggle at your videos. Frodo is simply the cutest chap ever and as for your dressmaking skills.... OUTSTANDING!!! Sending much love to you from the UK xxxx
Genuinely, I think that might be one of the most beautiful, magical reveals you've ever done (in a slew of wonderful reveals!) The filmmaker really just JUMPED OUT, it was stunning!!
Same! When the 93 version came out I was barely 10 and have been completely obsessed with the soundtrack ever since. I have it on my phone right now, LOL.
This dress honestly is something my younger self would have dreamed of. Gosh I am floored by your sewing skills! Also the see-through fabric with floral embroidery? That's a darn treasure there!
@@rachelmaksy Thanks for the entertaining videos! Please check your mirror at the start, it seems to be shaking excessively and I don't want it falling on you or a member of your family.
I love seeing you work while WEARING other things you've created. As a plus-sized person, I will never make clothing from pillow cases, but sheets seem a brilliant plan! You inspire me to try scary new things; even if I haven't actually DONE them, I'm inspired to try! :D We do have fun here and I love you back!
Only three people in the world can get me super inspired and energyzed to start a creative project without the fear of failure: bob ross for painting, monty don for gardening and rachel maksy for sewing. Maximum effort!!!! P.s. super love this dress 😍😍🌺🌼🏵🌱🍀
I LOVED that ‘aesthetic basement’ placement and turn to the camera moment. I don’t know why that made me so happy but I hope it becomes a signature to fiddle and turn to us.
I love your videos! Thank you for being so "real". Also.. you seriously need to watch the actual original black and white version of Secret Garden from 1949. I liked it much better than the '93 version.
My favourite comments from this video: “Resting stitch face” “Pinocchio titties” “And if only you could see my posture during this process. Oh look, there it is” Ode to spring needs to be my theme music to life Did you say, hobbit mating dress?
@@m.maclellan7147 Agreed - this is possibly the only channel I'd buy merch from. Yes, I see the irony. Maybe patches, or downloadable embroidery samples or something?
@@rachelmaksy pretty sure it was one of those shoe covers that you put on over your shoes so you don't get dirt all over(especially in other people's houses) i think...

As someone who's made a few bustier tops, the problem wasn't you, Rachel, it was the pattern - bustier tops need to be really fitted under the bust in order for the cups to work, in a way that normal dress bodices aren't, because they're meant to go from bust to waist smoothly.

Well, now we need one dress dedicated to summer and one dedicated to winter to complete the seasonal circle.
Yes!!!
Yes! It's only logical...
Yes!
And AUTUMN..... 🧐🧐🧐
Doesn’t the spooky dress count as autumn?
Last time I was this early, the secret garden was still asleep and Mary lived in India
Nice.
😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
YES lol
Beautiful :,)
I came for the sewing, I stayed for your amazing, sparkly, quirky personality! You, my Lady, are a fantabulous soul!

Did anybody else hear Deanna Giulietti in their head while reding this comment or is it just me?
This is the perfect dress for your teacup holster.
I definitely understand the feelings you had while watching the 1993 version of The Secret Garden. If you want to give a different adaptation a try, watch the 1987 version. They got rid of the weird creepy cousin stuff in that adaptation.
I dont care what anyone says....... Rachel is the new bob ross.. no mistakes just happy accidents... that get turned into comedy gold. I dont like a lot of content creators, but when I want to learn and laugh I go straight to this channel. As a dude who is sarcastic and sews.... this is my heaven.
The 1993 version is my mom's favorite movie. It was filmed at Highclere Castle which is where they filmed Downton Abbey. I went there when I was studying abroad last year. TOTAL out-of-body experience!!!
It's my favorite, too. I haven't seen the new one because I'm afraid I'll be angry😅
@@ashleejones1690 SAAAAAME! I’m scared... Also, loooved the musical!
I watched that one too!
Secret Garden was my favourite book...have avoided all adaptations as don't want to spoil my book love
Never knew about Highclere. Thanks for the info !
I just love how you are like: Bodice? The most complicated thing one can sew? Ain't gonna use an actual pattern, Ama just make my own.
Im terrified of the fact that your door opened on its own and you didn’t even question it.
The power she has
In old New England houses, that’s not so unusual.
One thing I learned by living in a haunted sorority is that you can’t be too impressed by the ghost. I’d be way too busy to be scared of the door rattling, so I’d just tell the ghost that if they wanted to scare me they’d have to conjure up an apparition.
If ya have pets it's really easy to just sit there and think, "Was it the dog/cat or a ghost? Meh, probably the dog/cat." then go on with your life.
we say NOT TODAY to ghosties
Um, I live in a haunted house, so a door opening by itself is really no biggie! ~Janet in Canada
Hobbit hair: check
Hobbit wedding dress: check
Hobbit soul: “which flowers do you want on your dress?” - “All of them at once I suppose...”
CORRECT lol
i bet your boyfriend/husband (haven't been watching these for long so i honestly don't know) thinks your the most beautiful person when filming the reveal scene. you just look so happy! i love your videos!
“I didn’t choose floor troll life. Floor troll life chose me” needs to be a tshirt lol
yes yes it does
HELL YEAH FOR NATURE 🌱🌿
Edited to add: whenever I step on my cat's paws I stop everything and spent 15 minutes gently stroking his face and telling him I love him and I'm sorry. I think he gets underfoot deliberately now because he's figured out it's a good way to get attention when I'm doing housework
Haha saaaame I feel so guilty even though it's completely her fault🤦♀️
@@liv97497 I know right? My cat is always underfoot and will run under my feet literally as I'm walking, and I have to fall over if I don't want to step on his entire body 🤦♀️
@@xXJokerAtWorkXx he rules the house. I must make a tint crown for my king
LOL he's just sitting, plotting his next move underneath your feet.
My 6yo at the reveal: "I love it! I want it. You should make me one."
Child, I have way too much on my sewing list to add a new project to it right now. Lol
"Rachel on the couch will stay on the couch." *Sips coffee on the couch while looking at projects* I feel called out :D
Hahahahah ain't that JUST the way (also hAALLOO fellow rachel!!)
@@rachelmaksy Hello! Also, I want to say I love your videos and this dress is beautiful! And you're beautiful in it!
Yes, did feel a little attacked 🤣🤣
Awww, you sound just like my mother! Bless her heart.
Things I desperately want from this video in ADDITION to the gorgeous dress: Cream embroidered mask, every adorable stretchy crop top worn, the green pinafore, THAT PIN CUSHION omg, "aesthetic basement"
Hehehehee
I just wanted to say that the difference between your newest (post channel-update) videos and your older ones is... crazy, not just in quality (because I could tell you had so much more breathing room for the project and the editing) but because the editing was so much more... playful? Like, I could tell you had so much fun making this video, and editing it. You seem so relaxed and happy and creative, and I just... made me so happy to see?? i've been watching you in earnest since the beginning of 2020, and I never realized how much pressure you put on yourself to put out videos each week until these newer videos, where you have so much more space and time to make something you're proud of. I just want to know how happy I was to see it, and how much happier I feel when I watch your videos now. And I just want to validate your choice to change your channel schedule--I am SO happy to wait a little longer for a video if it's full of you being creatively joyful and relaxed. Congrats to you for doing what's best for you; as a fan, I'm so happy for you.
(Also, I must reiterate my thanks to you for making your video about watching the Mummy with an Egyptologist; Dr. Darnell bought my grandparents' house after my grandma's passing, and I was too young at the time to think to stay in touch with her and her husband, so when I saw my grandma's living room in your video, where I spent so many happy christmases and easters, I sat on my couch and cried for about an hour, while watching your hilarious video over and over. it probably feels insignificant to you but thank you for bringing Dr. Darnell and that gorgeous house back into my life.)
Sincerely,
A fairly recent but VERY enthusiastic fan
16:43 I wonder if the inventor's of Zip Ties ever realized how many dresses they would be sewn into 😆
Best sewing hack ever!!
The character development of Rachel taking the time to sew on all the embroidered flowers rather than glue them on is *chef's kiss*
Can we talk about you matching that doll on the shelf exactly, though? Omg.
I’m so glad I’m not the only one who felt that way about the original Secret Garden movie. I remember it being like a weird fever dream.
Fever dream but I still kinda like it's weirdness? Very like Gothic horror
I haven’t watched it since I was little, but I do remember being absolutely terrified of the part when her parents die and she’s hiding under the bed. Also there was some kind of figurine giraffe or something of the sort. So yeah, fever dream does sum it up pretty well.
Lol, it’s the closest one to the book, but yeah, it was weird, especially with the Colin wanting to marry his cousin line, I have no idea why they added that in there!
Maggie Smith being brilliant though 😅
The first time I watched it was on a bus trip to NYC with my parents when I was like 6. I was heartbroken I couldn't get mcnuggets at 9 am and was absolutely terrified of mummies for years after because of the museum. The movie did not improve my experience 😂.
Frodo was giving me major Nana (Peter Pan) vibes in that little white bonnet. And I envy your ability to sew with sheer fabric, it's like sewing water...but more slippery.
Wanted to congratulate you on what a good job you did on this dress. You don’t give yourself enough credit. It was really pretty. I love flowers and anything floral. This was beautiful Rachel, can’t wait to see what you come up with in the future. Your talent just keeps improving💚 sending you love from the UK🇬🇧
*cries in the beauty of Rachel Masky spring vibes*
Aren't we all brother?
😭😭😭♥♥♥♥♥
You should make Hermione's dress from Goblet of Fire, but make it blue like it was in the book.
Yes please
that’s a really good idea, maybe even put a vintage twist on it (I feel like the 40s would be a good look)
That dress is... really ugly. I'm not sure it would look any better in blue 😅
That's a great idea! Yes Rachel what they said! Minus Lexie Lou!
YEEESSS 😍
There really needs to be a period fashion movement, this girl looks amazing!
I'm generally a passive viewer but I was absolutely delighted to suddenly see a new video pop up on my feed. Rachel Maksy's videos help me decompress after a hard day working with the public.
Solidarity, my friend.
Me too🤩
"Resting Stitch Face" has no right to be as funny as it is, but I think I'd throw money at RSF merch. I love your ability to make something beautiful and have me laugh-crying throughout the entire process.
Nooooo, dear @Rachel Maksy you MUST SEE the REAL original Secret Garden movie from 1949, with adorable little Margaret o'Brien! 🌷
That kinda awkward 1990’s version and the new have got nothin’ on the beautiful storytelling and truth of children learning to be unselfish that the old one has. ✨ Not to mention, the 1949 version is true to the intent of the book, where the others take their own direction. Give it a watch, I think you’ll appreciate it. 🙃
BUT, in other news... This dress is all things beautiful. 🥰 Wonderful work Rachel!
...Also, what was that BEAUTIFUL piece of music called that was playing during the Reveal??! 😱 I need that in my life!
im proud of you for not just hot gluing the flowers on
When I was five, my parents let me pick out a name for our new dog, and without hesitation I picked Archie solely because I liked to yell this moment from the 1993 version: “Ahhhrchie, I’m in the gaaaaaarden”.
Hahahahaha that is fantastic
"...with Coliiiiiiiiiiiiin."
Hahahaha AWWW
just last week I heard a woman call for her son, Archie, who'd run off, in an almost identical tone to the film and I completely froze. like does she know? does she not know? I can't tell her?? but then I had "I'm in the garden" echoing in my head the rest of the day 😅
@@rachelmaksy 😂❤️
I swear rachel's videos are my escape from reality at this point. the REVEAL part is 10/10 am literally mesmerized *-* the music took me to a whole new world I NEED TO KNOW THE NAME OF THE MUSIC PLAYING T__T
RACHEL YOU KILLED THIS THE EDITING IN THE WHOLE VIDEO IS BEAUTIFUL, THE DRESS, BEAUTIFUL, YOU, BEAUTIFUL HOLY SHIT WOMAN
Oh my gosh thank you so much sweetest 😭😭😭😭
The amazing thing is anything that happens to the skirt can get fixed with MORE FLOWERS.
Rachel: “April showers bring May flowers, but what do May flowers bring? PILGRIMS!”
Me: *dies*
🤣🤣🤣
Thank you for highlighting “Look at this Graph,” a vine I still quote daily that no one else remembers.
Hahahahaha it's one the BEST
I was so obsessed with the original Secret Garden. When I was a kid, I would find old keys and carry them around. I would pretend that every garden was my secret garden, and “unlock” them with my magic keys.
Oh my gosh same
And one time I locked myself out of my room because I wanted to open it with a key I found, but my door didn't have a keyhole somehow so, dreams and doors were crushed.
I had the VHS and I absolutely destroyed it rewinding it so many times. LOVE the original - saw the trailer for the remake and was horrified.
Sameee! I loved the atmosphere of that movie
Yes, the original is very beautiful. As for the remake Idk since I haven't seen it. But remakes have proven to never be as good as the original. Let alone better.
I read the book first and the 90's film was very true to it a bit of extra embellishment, because film, but I could live with it. Dame Maggie Smith was perfect as Mrs Medlock.
Okay, I am now completely and utterly obsessed with this project and have an insane need to make some sot of flowy, magical, forest, fairy, elf, something or other dress like this for myself! Do I have anywhere to wear such a project? No, of course not, but I will happily wander through my house in it going about my daily tasks.
The structure of Rach Maksy videos:
S T R E S S
More stress, but with funnies
A dash of Frodo
Aesthetic witchcraft
Rinse, repeat
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Using zip ties as corset boning? WHY IN THE FLYING FLUFF DID I NEVER THINK OF THAT?!?! I feel stupid for the money I’ve spent on actual corset boning!
This dress is gorgeous! You look like an elegant forest nymph!
RIGHT!! She just saved me all the money
Beautiful!! Xxx 💗 💗 all the lovely flowers reminded me how obsessed I was with Basis Zarzycka's wedding dresses in the late 90s /early naughties. She had one where the hem was full of real peonies! Glorious 💕💕
The amount of serotonin this gave me. Literally was sitting down to cry over finals, but then I saw the notification for this video, and my whole day got better. Thank you for being your beautiful chaotic self and bringing a smile to us sad folks.
sending you LOVE AND HUGS AND LUCK for your finals!!!! ✨✨✨✨
I'm not someone who subscribes to RUclipsrs often. Pretty rare. I clicked that button in the first 30 seconds. I love her humor and personality. Definitely one of my favorite sewer youtube so far.
This screams a mix between cottage core and fairytale. Not to mention this MARVELLOUS reveal shot ! I am so in love right now.
Thank you so so so much
The 93 secret garden was my favorite movie as a kid. Mary was a huge style inspiration for me, especially as the garden gets healthier and her clothes get brighter. In my head, Mary ends up with Dickon, the farmer boy, not her jerk cousin.
"Rachel behind her new basement sewing table like a super aesthetic flower vendor" vibes ♥
Heheheeh AW
*When you work for “THAT fabric store” and see her pull out products you stare at, literally, all day* 😯😬😂
Saaaaaame 😂😂😂
I literally organised those exact same spring floral corsages yesterday lol
What a wonderful dress! You look like a meadow fairy. Oh my goodness. Bravo!
God the old secret garden spring montage of the flowers blooming with choir music will always play rent free in my brain
Hey I hope you see this! The easiest way to get those flower applications from the tulle fabric is getting a wood burning tool, and tracing them! The burning tool cauterizes the fabric so the embroidery doesn’t unravel, and you can attach them anywhere (you just wanna clean the tool tip a lot so you don’t get scorch marks on the fabric)
O000 what a clever trick
Awesome! I just searched wood burning tool.....and read a Soldering Iron works at a lower temperature, so I will go search for the old 1 in my shed! Free is good
great tip!
Rachel I adore you. Your humour is the same as mine and I always giggle at your videos. Frodo is simply the cutest chap ever and as for your dressmaking skills.... OUTSTANDING!!! Sending much love to you from the UK xxxx
Genuinely, I think that might be one of the most beautiful, magical reveals you've ever done (in a slew of wonderful reveals!) The filmmaker really just JUMPED OUT, it was stunning!!
oh my gosh thank you!!!!! It helps I got a new lens that makes BEAUTIFUL BOKEH :')
HOW DID YOU KNOW I'VE BEEN LISTENING TO THE 90's SECRET GARDEN SOUNDTRACK bless your soul
Me too! The perfect spring music.
Me too! It’s great to fall asleep to...dreaming of enchanted forests and majestic secret gardens....
I'm pissed off I can never find the exact rain on flowers track from the movie anywhere.
Same! When the 93 version came out I was barely 10 and have been completely obsessed with the soundtrack ever since. I have it on my phone right now, LOL.
This dress honestly is something my younger self would have dreamed of. Gosh I am floored by your sewing skills! Also the see-through fabric with floral embroidery? That's a darn treasure there!
I’m astounded by the amount of effort that clearly went into this
thank you so much, that means a lot!!! ❤️
@@rachelmaksy Thanks for the entertaining videos! Please check your mirror at the start, it seems to be shaking excessively and I don't want it falling on you or a member of your family.
The way you talk about your pets makes me miss my pet, when she is just in the next room napping.
I love seeing you work while WEARING other things you've created.
As a plus-sized person, I will never make clothing from pillow cases, but sheets seem a brilliant plan! You inspire me to try scary new things; even if I haven't actually DONE them, I'm inspired to try! :D
We do have fun here and I love you back!
This looks like a Hobbit wedding gown, which I feel is exactly the aesthetic we’d all like to live in!
I want to live in that gown too.
Your humor was EN POINTE in this video. I nearly spit out my coffee twice. Also, Pinocchio Titties is the name of my new thrash metal band.
hehehehe thank you so much!!
I love your wacky sense of humor and uninhibited method of sewing and just being you!!!!
Only three people in the world can get me super inspired and energyzed to start a creative project without the fear of failure: bob ross for painting, monty don for gardening and rachel maksy for sewing. Maximum effort!!!! P.s. super love this dress 😍😍🌺🌼🏵🌱🍀
I LOVED that ‘aesthetic basement’ placement and turn to the camera moment. I don’t know why that made me so happy but I hope it becomes a signature to fiddle and turn to us.
hehehehe someone made it for me and tis my new favorite sign🥰
I love your videos! Thank you for being so "real". Also.. you seriously need to watch the actual original black and white version of Secret Garden from 1949. I liked it much better than the '93 version.
The Hallmark “The Secret Garden” from the late 80s was LIFE when I was growing up!!! Your sewing skills have gotten SO good!
My favourite comments from this video:
“Resting stitch face”
“Pinocchio titties”
“And if only you could see my posture during this process. Oh look, there it is”
Ode to spring needs to be my theme music to life
Did you say, hobbit mating dress?
i think she said hobbit maiden lol
All of these!! 😄
Pinocchio titties! I can’t even !!!
Right! Lol!
@@Paula-tr8eq ohhhhh... Yeah, that makes more sense..
I just love all your videos .I look forward to watching them. ❤ thank you
I basically subscribed for chaos packed into a soft voice and red hair
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
We need this quote on merch !
@@m.maclellan7147 Agreed - this is possibly the only channel I'd buy merch from. Yes, I see the irony. Maybe patches, or downloadable embroidery samples or something?
“What is this and why is it randomly on my floor?” is my catch phrase.
Still don't know what it was and I found ANOTHR ONE a couple days later 🤣🤣🤣#tinylunchladyarmy
@@rachelmaksy pretty sure it was one of those shoe covers that you put on over your shoes so you don't get dirt all over(especially in other people's houses)
i think...
@@lillian3689 Oh right! Like painters wear...and hitmen....Rachel? What did you do?
Yeah, with four kids, I feel like I have this on broken record in our house.
@@lillian3689 actually im pretty sure its a little cap that goes on the ends of a rolled up rug! i see them all the time at my retail job and rachel mentioned getting a new rug, so i think thats the most likely explanation! :)
The 93 version is my favourite and your reactions are a million percent justified
that thumbnail... it made my little kid fairy princess heart so happy!! i can’t wait to see the creation process!
🎶"Look at this GRAPH!"🎶
I literally snorted 😂😂😂
Yup! I'm from Alberta so...it was especially awesome!😁🍻
Never gets old😂
