I Tried Recreating This 1800's Bat Costume! 🦇

- Nothing says "I Love Halloween" quite like frickin' bats.
So two whole years ago, I recreated a 1920's Halloween costume, then in 2020, a vintage moth one. The only LOGICAL evolution is a bat from the 1800's, eh?
I tried to challenge myself to use only recycled/thrifted materials for this one and it only ended up costing me 34 buckaroos! NOT TOO SHABBY.
Okay I never know what to write in these things so I will bid you adieu and hope you enjoy!!

Its not the batwoman we want, but the batwoman *WE NEED*
It absolutely IS the batwoman I want
ruclips.net/video/SZU1glezsKw/видео.html, ,
Batwoman, but make it vintage.
couldn't agree more
I have to say, Rachel is giving me a batgirl Barbara Gordon vibe with her red hair and all~ I love it! 😂💕
Sewing absolutely sucks 70% of the time, but then the end result is so fun and rewarding that you end up going straight back into another project and cursing yourself along the way.
Really though. It’s an unfortunate endless cycle really
Truer words were never said! Same with holiday gatherings...back when such things existed.
Sewing when I know how to use my machine is much more fun than trying to hand stitch ridiculous quantities of fabric (including faux fur) into a cloak on the floor at four am and crying-
@@poke-talia268 this is true, ugh, but I would still rather do the figuring out part than the sewing it up part.
@@poke-talia268 and waaaaahhhhhh! All-nighters no longer have any appeal
"Sewing sucks for 70% of the time" . Sewing is my main hobby, I've sewn my entire wardrobe and most of my children's and this is so accurate
I feel this too. I just like being able to design, recycle, and tailor things. It’s for the results, not the process.
I’ve been sewing for 50 years and it’s NEVER about the process for me- I find that part boring & tedious LMAO. It’s having the cool thing at the end that makes me happy!
Sewing only sucks when your machine screws up and makes rats nests.
💯 accurate my dear!!! After 43 wedding dresses and COUNTLESS costumes and projects!!!
Agree to all of you, but I do enjoy it when everything's working out during a project and I know what I'm doing. Which is ... not often 😂
"Isn't she too old to dress up?" Nah. I'm over 70 and when my family is here for Halloween, I dress up.
Your costumes always turn out great. This one is no exception!
Yup, when I was 4ish my grandmother and I got matching witch costumes and she had fun with it. But if you asked me at the time it wasn't a witch but a princess costume.
heck, I dress up all year long
I want to be you when I grow up. I LOVE Halloween.
“I don’t feel like you committed to the ‘bat’ yell.” I’m glad he keeps you true to your vision haha!
lolololol PSSHH so judgy 😂
The parent CLEARLY failed that child who thought there was an age limit on dressing up.
If you can't dress however you want as an adult, WHEN CAN YOU?!
Preach it!!!
To be fair, I too was an overly serious child that thought having fun was foolish, but around middle school I realized real maturity was accepting that it’s ok to be childish and that being too serious will only stress you out. So there’s a good chance that child will change their mind in the future.
Yes! I spend more time now finding/making my costume than ever. 😂🎃
@@pinkbuninja6536 As a child I thought all the fun just ends as soon as you hit the age 18.
@@pinkbuninja6536 I was an overly serious child too. I cried for months about turning 12 because that meant I had to stop being a kid 😂 (as if I'd even allowed myself to be a kid before then anyway...)
I finally learned how to be a child when I was 19 and moved out on my own, and since then I've been trying my best to get back all those childhood years I missed out on, which means most of my free time consists of lots of cartoon-watching, tea-parties, crafts and art projects, dressing up, and eating ice cream whenever I want. I'd argue it's even better to be a kid as an adult, since I can just buy all the glittery stickers and candy I want without having to beg my parents for them 😂😂
I love how Rachel considers laying on top of fabric to be the weirdest thing she's ever done for the camera.
Not wearing a fake pumpkin on her head or offering people free books off her back or thrift flipping an outfit for her dog or creating a wild west holster for a tea cup. No, it's gotta be the laying down thing. xD
I think the funniest thing is, there are a few comments along those lines, and it seems like everyone remembered different crazy things, there just are so many of them.
Doing a tutorial on how to make hobbit feet, featuring her spirit gumming hairy her bare feet, is the weird one for me.
Ok, when you made the “creepy paper” reference at the beginning and were doing a bat costume, I was PRAYING you were gonna do a Lazlo “BAT” reference. So thank you.
ME TOO I WAS SO HAPPY SHE DID IT AT THE END
Same, lol
hahaha ya GOTTA
literally same. I was so happy when she did it lol.
There was actually a picture of Nadja wearing a costume like this in the episode where they go to Simon the Devious' nightclub.
Rachel: “This is one of the weirdest things I’ve done in a video.
Me: “Actually, that must have been this one time you wrapped yourself up in plastic wrap and covered it with Ductape, to make a Spider-man muscle suit.”
😂🤣
You are not wrong
Or when she did it for the chicken wire ghost 👻
@@marshawargo7238 Another good one
or that time she turned herself into Eric Matthews

“Three Bats and a Dingo” sounds like a band name.
Also, love all the spoopy green light.
Also also….. you are incredible, don’t ever think otherwise.
I may have pulled out a tablet and immediately started sketching this as the movie poster while watching the rest of the video...
hahaha YESSS
@@krystelanderson5443 I feel like it would make a wonderful buddy cop movie.
Dingoes and band names just made me think about Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Oz's band, Dingeos Ate My Baby. I like your idea better tho lol
The fact you had been sewing for so long and didn't know there was a thread cutter on your machine! I would have cried from joy.
I never use it but somehow I'm still pissed that my new sewingmachine doesn't have one...
Sometimes machines have a little diagonal slit on the back of the presser foot post that is also a thread cutter. Sneaky.
It’s ok. I just learned three weeks ago mine had one because I finally read the manual after having my machine for a decade and learned that little bump was a thread cutter.
@@kosmoboo it doesnt?? does it maybe have a button that cuts the thread instead? usually new machines are so fancy lol
@@kimberlyscheyhing9114 It isn't mentioned in the manual at all and I've found nothing on the machine.
I'm a seamstress and the only time I find sewing relaxing is when I'm following a trusted pattern I've made many times before and using a fabric that behaves as I want it to. You're performing actual miracles of creativity out of second-hand fabrics and with no how-to guide - of course it's quite a stressful endeavour!
Ahh yes, I feel you! Hobby seamstress here but especially some fabrics are just butt to work with. Now I am making a fifties dress out of cotton poplin and I'm like..zen. Even if it's stripey stuff, or maybe because it is haha. Nothing more fullfilling than getting those seams to pattern match. But yeah, sewing like.. chiffon, sucks. So pretty, but sucks. Gotta say I always get a little anxious to see Rachel never make a mockup (have weird shoulders and larger boob so usually have to do some pattern adjusting) and to leave her edges raw. Lol. But it works for her!
YESS watching Rachel use second-hand fabric and just throwing the patterns to the wind STRESSES ME OUT. it is MAGIC.
I second this comment! 👌
@@EEJCreates And just because you know how it's done doesn't mean it's not magic!
For me, sewing is using a tool to get to something I want - like pants that fit, or a costume or repairing a popped seam, or scout patches. But creating - thats the hard part, and Eva said it well, you are off the script, using the sewing machine but making it up as you go along and thats HARD. You are awesome. I love your bat costume!
“Isn’t she too old to be dressing up?” The correct response to that is either, “NEVER!!!” or “Aren’t you to young to be such a buzzkill?” Love this costume!!!
I legit choked on my drink with that last response 😂
That made me snort cola out my nose! Too funny and accurate
@@kateobrien1943 Two drink related accidents 😂 there should be a warning about having a beverage and reading that comment 😂
Women over 100 years ago put on costumes. Aren't we more fun now that we have rights? I believe we are more fun now.
Another good response would be, "Dick is as dick does!" and every time they try to respond repeat it in interrupting cow fashion.
You are NEVER too old to dress up!
Here’s a quote from George Bernard Shaw:
“We don’t stop playing because we grow old…we grow old because we stop playing.”
Never stop playing!
This used to be one of my favourite quotes of all time. thank you for reminding me, I'm gonna write it down now.
The bat headpiece looks exactly like the bat in Barbie and the Nutcracker from the early 2000s and that just made me so happy and nostalgic.
Yeah, but also a little bit of ferngully...
@@kayleya_g8275 🎵 Yo, the name is Batty, the logic is erratic,... 😂 Love that movie!

LOL AW

You know the fabric that is underneath your bed frame or your couch, and your cats like to scratch holes and go inside it?
*THAT'S WHAT THIS FEELS LIKE.*
Ah, an explanation I can understand.
Immediate tactile revulsion, yes.
My whole life feels like that. (The end). 😉
Are we talking about dust ruffles?
@@lauramathews3151 No, the thin weird black fabric they use to disguise furniture undersides, so you can't see the springs and whatnot.

“Why do I have the same face as Mike Meyers? It’s so limiting.” Says the woman who won a face awards contest and literally transforms into other people on the regular on this channel… 🤦🏽♀️😆 You have a lovely face Rachel, and clearly you can make it look however you choose. Today’s video was as fun and hilarious as always. Good luck with your move!!
I think it’s just the glasses are very similar XD
@@crowfaerymori And the bangs!
Makes one wonder what Mike Myers would look like in drag.

Agreed!!! 😂💕
"WHY DO THEY LOOK LIKE LITTLE DEMOGORGONS?!"
I have never heard a more apt description of split horsechestnuts in my life
spiky BOOIISS
I really appreciate the part where she turns into a bat and a crow promptly starts cawing, like that's the sound a bat makes. Reminds of Robin Hood: Men in Tights, when they play a dolphin noise over a fox running 🦊🦇
This video was full of the Maksy goodness I love: makin it spooky, Floor Troll, Editing Rachel, 90s references, Frodo AND Binx, super crafty skills, and an incredibly relatable scene with cat yelling, a face mask, and watching video game playthroughs.
Happy Maks-o-ween to all you frickin bats! 🦇🦇🦇
Plus the reveal seemed a little extra flirty this time, so there’s that 🥰
Can rachel fans be her bats now?
@@kitdubhran2968 I'm on board! 🙋♀️🦇
And also Epic Autumn Aesthetic
Heehehhee
"he looks like a Chihuahua" Well there is that giant bat that basically looks like a little dog so I think is perfect.
The flying fox!! So adorable
ruclips.net/video/SZU1glezsKw/видео.html, ,
A spookyhuahua
Haha that species is actually called "Flightdog" in German xD
We have a lot of them where I live- we call them sky puppies.
Rachel as: a What We Do in the Shadows character. She'd either get along suuuper well with Nadia or they'd be sworn enemies. All I can imagine Nadia wearing a similar outfit to this, the "well one of us has to change" argument is started, chaos ensues.
I mean, she was shown (or implied to) have worn this piecve, I believe?
@@JamSparing yea in simons nightclub i believe
This is the weirdest thing I've done in a video"
And I'm just over here thinking about that time Rachel glued hair to the tops of her feet.
And one is never too old to dress up! Especially when it's done with such care
LOL

Me, quietly, to the screen: "i love you"
ALL HAIL THE BAT QUEEN!
She’s a beautiful bat queen
i LOVE YOUUU
OMG it came out so nice. I'm stressing myself out making a slightly similar shall for Vampire Ball in NOLA lol.
You make those bad videos about your horrible opinions. Why are you here?
@@slotheatworld who asked
@@slotheatworld Because im a seamstress. Most of my videos are about my experience as a black woman, a trans woman and a rape survivor. I support creators by commenting on their work. Honestly hope you find something that makes you smile today other than putting others down.
Rachel: "Because I don't actually like when people look at me."
Me too girl!
😂😂😂😂
"So what are going to dress up as for Halloween Amy?"
"Rachel maksy living her best life"
I'm gonna go as Editing Rachel, I adore her so much.
@@M1NDCR4WL3R pirate hoodie and cosy socks... that would be a comfy one
I might dress as frodo.
Im joking but i love frodo
I LOVE THIS SKY PUPPY COSTUME 😍😍😍 Your work is stunning!! Also your kitty meowing at you nonstop makes me feel seen. This is my life every night with my cat Casper. 👻
Yes, sky puppy! Love it!
:) :)
my new favorite thing is cats with spooky-esque names. Binx, Casper, also my late cat Loki
Sky puppy would be the Australian eastern fruit bat. US bats, much like your one marsupial, are butt ugly.
Traci! It's nice to see you here! 🎃🧡
That reveal was magnificent. As a wholehearted supporter of bats, this was the delightful content I needed today.
😊😊

I think the too old to dress up thing is just part of that kids in a certain age reject all thing younger kids do and think they are too old for it now, and see childish as something bad. Then comes a time (usually one's 20s) when one realises there is no such thing as it being silly to do stuff you like and then one is not too old for anything anymore.
For me, sewing is stressful if I have a deadline and have to somehow meet some achievement. But it is very relaxing and rewarding if one project is allowed to take 2 months and the only judgement that matters is my own.
I totally agree. I have a linen shirt I am making and it’s taking me three months. I would work on it and as soon as it became stressful I put it down. Has it taken a while -yes. Am I enjoying making it absolutely. Will it be awesome when completed and I wear it out everywhere 🥰 😘
I think the too old to dress up comment actually comes from the parents not wanting to bother with taking the kids out for Halloween. I am 64 years old and still love to dress up in costumes. My Mom never discouraged it and dressed up to take us out Trick or Treating. Why do people discourage that creativity? They seem to be the people who suck the fun out of everything.
Just wait a few years then you find the on Comic Con, WonderCon and other venues like that. :-)
@@reginafetty6374 I don't think it's just about parents don't wanting to take kids out for halloween, as I live in culture where halloween isn't really a thing, but still there are this age when most kids don't like dressing up for some years (for ither occations) and think it's just a thing for small kids. But yes, parents approach has a huge impact nontheless.
@@meamela9820 could be a bit of both, in the US it can be quite the ordeal to take kids out trick or treating, so certain parents try to end the tradition on the early side. I don’t really agree with that approach but taking the kids out involves a lot of time, possibly cost, effort, and energy. Especially if you live in a state like I do where it’s usually a downpour/wind storm during trick or treating. Who knows though ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
When you said “sewing SUCKS” … girl, I felt like I was looking into a mirror. I make all my cosplay costumes and even wearable clothes sometimes, so people are always surprised when I tell them I HATE sewing. It’s just that if you don’t make it, who will? Lol
ruclips.net/video/SZU1glezsKw/видео.html, ,
That's so sad @Danielle C. to hear. I bet your costumes are awesome and original!
Most of my projects start with rage.
It can be the same way with my quilts sometimes. Planning is fun and you want to get to the "good" part, but you realize there are many hours of hardwork, broken thread and wonky seems between you and it....
I discovered during the early stages of the pandemic that I don't actually hate sewing, I hate machine sewing...
"Isnt she a little old to be dressed up?" Looks like SOMEONE has a very broken concept of fun 😂😂 u look fantastic, if i saw u i woulda done a bat screech in solidarity
I feel like I've said this before, but Binks has unnervingly human-like eyes. They emanate human intelligence and it scares me a little
Dont get me wrong I love Binks with my whole heart but I feel like she could probably predict my next move
LOL she sees aLLLL
Omg...I never noticed that before, and now I can't see Binks the same ever again..
ok so I've never had a creator actually reply to a comment to it's weird knowing I can, in fact, be perceived but I am really happy rn
WHY THE HELL CAN'T I STOP LAUGHING AT "CREEPY PAPER"?! WHY IS THAT EVEN FUNNY?!😱📃🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I was thinking to myself "she's so brave to sew on the floor" and then she stepped on a pin. I wish you a speedy recovery.
Instantly gave me Micarah Vibes lol
I just want everyone to know that I watched this on a blustery Sunday October morning while sipping maple cinnamon coffee and eating a pumpkin spice doughnut, 10/10 experience, thank you Rachel for the vibes.
Sounds delightful
Some bats really do look like dogs with wings (particularly flying foxes), so your headdress design is actually pretty accurate.
A most treasured memory: a baby fruit bat landed on me, we made eye contact for a brief but magical moment before it flew away. I am truly blessed.
I want to be the Disney princess that gets dressed by bats instead of birds....
Also butterflies landing on me? Terrifying. Bat magical.
I'm so jellybelly.
🥺🦇
Once a bat almost striked my head when I was walking... I'm glad it didn't because it would have got stuck in my hair and panic 😭
@@maelyssferreiro2539 oh my goodness! I am glad too.
@@carrieorsel1340 Looking back it's a funny memory. I glad the little thing didn't get hurt or anything.
Rachel needs to make a tradition of recreating a costume every year and wearing it for Halloween.
a little tip for smoothing out foam clay: use water on your fingers when smoothing/spray your sculpture with water before smoothing or mix foam clay with water to make a paste and smooth out your sculpture with that! I've made extremely smooth foam clay cosplay props before with that method [like smooth enough to reflect some light and look shiney looking when painted with glossy mod podge :)]
Nate's help on the Bat Jump™ was 10/10. Perfection.
Rachel: I can wear this all year long, right?
Me, covered head-to-toe in bat accessories always: Indeed you can, madame. Indeed you can.
*Rachel yelling from pain*
Me: "ah, the familiar sounds of stepping on your own pins"
😅😅😥😥
Rachel is milking the CRAP out of that autumn aesthetic from tiktok-esque filter and I'm very here for it. Live ur best life batqueen, we love to see it
I actually feel pretty bad for that kid. Hope she comes around and realizes it isn't all nearly as serious as she thinks it is.
Love the video, i adore the bloopers 😂
This costume is simultaneously cute AF, elegant, and just a tad creeptastic…I love it! You did such a wonderful job!
The number of times I’ve said “last year” and meant 2019…I’m pretty sure in 2022 we’ll all realize 2020 was the Mandela effect.
YUUUPP lmao
Rachel Maksy, the girl who can turn anything into a cinematic master piece
Honestly, I'm one of those people who loves actually sewing. It sustains me! But not everyone has to love the process, and it's cool that everyone loves different parts of the human experience. Myself, I'm 1000% perplexed by people who say they enjoy running.
With you 100% on both of those 😝 And even given that, there's definitely the occasional moment of WTF & argh involved in any sewing journey...
The built-in threadcutter just reminded me of when, after probably a year or two of having my machine, I decided to just browse the manual. I'd always known about this weird lever next to the needle but didn't know what it did. Turns out it's an automatic needle threader and it makes threading the sewing machine approximately 250 times easier. It's so obvious what it does as well!
Amazing job on the costume, and you learned something new, so win/win!
When I bought my machine I promptly lost the manual for the next four years. Not available on line either. So basic functions, but anything complicated was a guessing game. And of course I bought a complicated machine.
Eventually it turned up, somewhere I’d looked multiple times, as these things do.
Life suddenly so much easier.
I'm very lucky that my cousin who's old sewing machine I bought and who teaches sewing professionally taught me about the automatic needle threader, the thread cutter, and the bobbin winder!
Do all machines come with and auto threader? I swear if I have one I’m gonna scream lol
@@SD-bf6hk no I don't think so, it's definitely not on a couple of other machines I've used
@@SD-bf6hk no, it's still a booshie feature. But is becoming more and more common. All new singers have them. Idk about brothers or any other brand.
I am so glad I am not the only one who just says "What?" when my cat yells at me. There Rachel goes, being iconic and relatable again
Same. Followed by... “yes? Uh huh, I know.” But I really don’t know. 😆
I usually yell "I did not. Stop telling lies about me."
Yes we talk to our cats, or any other animal that talks to us.
I am definitely in the “what cha want brat?” crowd of people when their pets yell at them. Usually it is food.
Loved the What We Do In The Shadows reference. Truly a spook queen, you are.
I hope I hope that we eventually get lots of packing, moving into and new home videos; just creatively imperfect hodgepodge videos of the process. I hope i hope. Wishing you Very well during the process. : )
"Isn't she too old to be dressed up?" QUIET, CHILD.
This was incredible, I love it so much! All the little bats, the ingenuity, the HD chompin'... another amazing video Rachel! I look forward to the next one ^^
kinda feel sad for the child thinking that shes going to have to stop having fun as an adult.
ASMR Binx cronch
Rachel yelling "STASH!!" like Laszlo yelling "BAT!! in What We Do in the Shadows 😆
Creeeeeepy paaaapeeerr
This motivated me to go get my unfinished corset out of my stash and try and overcome the hurdle I hit. I'm moving next month too and it would be nice to not have to move 10000 unfinished projects with us. Thanks Rachel!
We were just talking about the crappy "Halloween" playlists at work today 😂 we were all trying to point out the "spooky" words while we worked lol
It was so amazing to meet you today!!! I'm glad my interruption wasn't annoying. I literally saw you taking photos and was thinking to myself, "oh funny, a red head in a bizzare costume with a photographer... Seems like something Rachel Maksy would do.... Huh. OH, THAT IS RACHEL MAKSY!!!"
Thank you for taking a picture with me, your videos are the epitome of October/Fall. Right up there with Over The Garden Wall!
Enjoy spooky season, love the frickin' bats ❤️🦇
The amount of serotonin I got from "Tornado Rachel's BACK, bay-bee" - I started laughing out loud XD
this is AMAZING!! all of the details came together so brilliantly and i love seeing the sewing/making process as well :)
if you’d like to wear this costume without having to constantly hold the ends of the wings, i’d recommend looking into how ballet dancers wear wings like this. their wings often attach to an elastic bracelet around their wrist or to an elastic ring around one of their fingers. you definitely don’t have to change anything, i just wanted share this random thing i know haha
Rachel's videos never cease to make me unbelievably happy, just seeing her be so happy and goofy always puts a smile on my face :)
You repeatedly saying that you look like Mike Meyers just made me think about how you would absolutely kill it dressing up as Princess Fiona from Shrek 😵💫✨
Oooh... now I also want this.
Frodo looks so emotionally happy after the kiss break, and not to belittle the bat costume efforts, but seeing that Rachel is using her pumpkin pin cushion just seems like the happiest moment of this video for me.
hehehehehe you ain't wrong
I still laugh so much at the "creepy paper" bit even though I've watched the episodes multiple times & have quoted it often since. Good start to the video! 😁
"Doable is always a great thing to be"... This reminded me of a Christmas memory... while baking cookies, I preheated the oven only to realize the racks were in the wrong spot. So I announce very loudly to all in the kitchen, young and old, "Everyone back up while I handle this insanely hot rack!"... Giggles commenced along with a hoot or two from the older men.
I feel so blessed with how many times Binx blessed us with her presence 😻🙏
Seems to be a trend on utube I've noticed recently.
"my name is Batty"
"the logic is erratic"
"potato in a jacket"
the hat reminded me of Batty from Furn Gully. its' not even similar looking... but it did. lol. it's amazing.
Yes !🦇
YUUUSSS!!!!😁❤❤❤🦇🦇🦇
Me too. I want her to add his little antenna as a final touch
Human tales? Humans don't have tails, they have big big bottoms that they wear with bad shorts!
You could add elastic bands at the end of the wings(cape) so that you could put it on like a bracelet so you don’t have to hold the ends. Or even a small loop to wear as a ring if that makes sense
true!
Honestly, cute animals monching is the only ASMR other than good background noise (nature, weather, town center, cafe, work/craft space) that I want.
Rachel: "and that's because sewing sucks"
Me: *immediately likes video*
hahahaha gotta TELL IT LIKE IT IS
@@rachelmaksy awh, thank you for the reply!
It's so true, my nïave teenage self thought "hmm, let's get into sewing that will be fun"... WRONG! Super stressful.🤣 I still sew, but most of the time you may as well call me Jack the ripper because there I am with my seam ripper!
Rachel's * I was today years old * moment with her sewing machine was so relatable 😁
I have to go check my machine now, seriously.
18:30 I cannot stand the sound of other humans eating, but the sound of animals monching n cronching..... It brings joy to my heart 🥺

In the immortal words of Nadia “it is important to have good vampire fashion” and I think she would agree that you are indeed wearing good vampire fashion.
Oooof, I am so sorry you didn't learn about that little knife until now. I just remembered how it was a part of the routine when we had sewing in school (It's part of scandinavian elementary school cirriculum, both sewing and carpentry) though there is still tons of things I'm only just learning now as an adult picking it up again.
I love the chalky effect of your text overlays! They really fit the channel aesthetics
I would love to see a recreation of your version of any of Mrs. Frizzle's dresses from The Magic School Bus!!! ^^ Look forward to your DIYs everytime dear keep up the amazing work!
"It's fricking bats. I love Halloween" 🦇
I’m definitely getting into the Halloween spirit! Put together my costume. I’m going as a cottagecore inspired sort of hedge witch (and by “going” I mean handing out sour patch kids to the neighborhood children). I knitted my own witch hat and am pairing it with a wonderful brown lacy and tiered vintage square dancing skirt I own, a black turtleneck, a tooled brown leather belt, black tights, and brown granny boots. I may also go find myself a rustic broom.
I’m shocked this is a whole bat video with not one “and I kick her sir” reference 😂🦇🖤
There is never not a good time for Rachels chaotic energy. c:
Also, that outfit turned out so good!
The bat headpiece’s expression is my mood for the entirety of this pandemic!
My Saturday morning ritual: make coffee in my cauldron cup, click on Rachel's video...
This costume is so freaking amazing! Also, did you know that the groove between the nostrils on flying foxes is that when they munch on juicy fruit whilst hanging upside down, the juice will run down the little channel and drip onto the floor without it going into their nostrils. How adorable is that?!
Yes! Love watching her videos Saturday morning 🥰 Aww that is such an adorable fun fact, thank you for sharing!! ❤ 🦇
I just discovered you a few days ago and I've been OBSESSED!! You've inspired me to start sewing again and dabbling in more vintage outfits for myself
I didn't know that I'd love the "editing Rachel" parts as much I did. 100% here for it!
"I'll never understand the people that say sewing is therapeutic for them" and me just sitting there, watching video and handsewing because IT IS THERAPEUTIC TO ME
Hahahaha. Same here. And sitting here wondering when I can hit Savers for some thrift fun.
hahahaha honestly I ENVY YOU
You know, to help limit Tornado Rachel, and help with the move and get a video out: Next month can we have a "Packing Hacks" video or a "Vintage vs Modern Packing" video or even just a Haul video where we get an update on your fabric stash and pattern collection
Yes!! Also, I'm sure we all love a good organization/cleaning/before and after video 😍
I’ve been sewing & remaking clothes for decades and I still had my mind blown by “adding ruffles to a skirt I already have and don’t wear”. What a genius hack!
Omg I have a sticker of the original drawing she used for reference on my laptop! I love it so much and I’ve wanted a real version of it to wear forever so seeing this was so cathartic and also made me jealous lol. It also gives me big What We Do in The Shadows vibes like I can definitely see Nadja wearing it in the 1800s.
When the thread snapping segment happened I IMMEDIATELY went to my sewing machine to see if I could do the same thing, and I can, and I now reconsider my life choices... I know how you feel Rachel !
Rachel: "Sewing SUCKS!"
Also Rachel still inspiring others to take up sowing as a habit XD
it me, I am others.

Me too
I am others tooo, except I'm too lazy to even start lol
Raise hand, as I am others too.
I literally just came back from fabric shopping, I'm others too!
18:26 As someone who loves listening to ASMR of animals eating, that made me very happy. There's just something about hearing an animal eat that just makes my brain release serotonin.
OHMYGOSH our approaches to Halloween playlists are the EXACT SAME. Thank you for providing me with new songs for my Spooky playlist :)
this whole project (and the creepy paper reference) made me think of what we do in the shadows. you should totally recreate/do something inspired by it! you would make a great nadja
I think she did a little Nadja on tiktok.
Your sculpture skills with the bats amazed me. But the "two bats and a dingo" quip nearly killed me. You are one of the funniest people alive, and I absolutely love watching you here in your natural habitat of RUclips. I hope you enjoy making this content as much as we all enjoy watching it!!
This episode is true fucking comedy gold you deserve an Oscar I freaking swear
thank yoooouuu 😭😭😭
"creeepy paper" hehe. great random wwdits reference. "bat!"🖤
btw the delirium in the eyes when thinking of the monotony of sewing.. love lol
