- Hey guys
- Hi!
We are going to try something today.
- It's going to be disastorous, I can promise you that.
- We're going to do a "Who Wore It Better?"
Only, we're going to make our clothing
[Upbeat Music Plays]
- We have access to like, the same supplies.
We have the same fabric.
- How much sewing experience do Bailey and I have?
- Zero
- I probably have more just because I,
like, handstitch things.
- But we were really young, we did.
- Yeah
- Now, not so much.
- So, for those of you that do this for real,
please do not make fun of us because --
- Kudos to y'all.
- This is supposed to be funny.
- We have no idea what we're doing.
- So our base will be, our team, like got all this stuff,
so we didn't know what was coming 'til just now.
- This fabric --
- It's like a gold, creamy --
- There's a lot of it, so we'll be able to
make something out of that.
And then just a whole lot of ribbon and buttons
and fabric glue.
- And flowers for some reason?
- And also, we have a sewing machine, does that mean
we know how to work it?
- Mmmmm, no.
- And to make it even harder, Bailey and I decided
we're not even going to look up tutorials,
you're just going to see me, guessing how to be
a seamstress in this video, so --
- Trying to lay it out so we can split it in half.
This is a lot, I mean it's all okay because we're
probably gonna mess up and have to start
over like three times.
Yellow brick road, yellow brick road, yellow brick road.
Oh, boy.
Supplies I'm going to be taking is
elastic, my half of the fabric, and either
the sewing machine or handstitching.
Goodbye!
Actually, I need the sewing machine, so I can't go anywhere.
- The stuff I'm going to be taking is the fabric,
the elastic but Bailey has it,
some of these buttons, maybe some fabric glue
in case I need it.
And also, hand stitching stuff, but I don't have
the hands to get it right now so --
Wish me luck.
- Okay, so I feel like I need to point this out because
I know I'm going to get comments asking me about it,
but it's so gross, so if you see this black tape
on my toe, it is because I am trying to get rid of a wart,
and I heard that putting duct tape and like
Apple Cider Vinegar on it, so just,
please ignore it, it's gross, it's disgusting,
no one wants to talk about warts, but just so you know,
that is why I have duct tape on my toe,
you'll probably see it in this video, so just
a heads up on that.
- Finn, make yourself so comfortable.
No, no, sit.
All my fabric is laid out, I don't even know
where to begin.
I guess the first thing I should do is --
Finn!
- First things first, I honestly, to be honest,
am not a huge fan of this fabric.
We're just gonna have to make do with what we got,
cause that's the only fabric I have.
I'm thinking that I can do a, like, a
a tank top? Kinda like a dual strap tank top,
with like, a, one of those elasticy waists.
That's a little cropped, and I'm going to put
buttons on the tank, so it can, like, button.
Maybe?
Or maybe I'll just do straps.
I don't even know how to make it.
But the thing is, I know like, the measurements and stuff,
like I'm going to have to measure my waist,
and here to here, and here to here,
and all these things, and my chests, and
bluh bluh bluh So that's the first thing I'm gonna do,
is try and measure, see if I can get the fabric
cut correctly.
- So I ran upstairs, and I'm feeling a little
more confident, because I realized,
first I was gonna measure my measurements,
but then I was like "that's gonna be confusing",
so instead I'm going to measure a shirt that
fits me well, and I'm going to measure the
front piece and the back piece, that I'm going
to end up stitching together, and then the bottom,
I was hoping to do something like this.
Ahhhhh.
I have not a single clue what I am doing.
- Okay, I measured my waist, my bust, and like the
length of my torso, and I marked it
on my fabric, so this is like, my waist sizes from there.
Here, and then this is my, like, around my bust.
And then this is, like, my torso, top to bottom.
So I can kinda need this like, whole rectangle of fabric
to make my shirt.
So, I'm just gonna make a cut here, and a cut here.
I'm gonna have to, like, somehow get it to be like --
I don't know.
[Laughing]
This is really stressful. SOS!
This is how she's trying to block herself
from seeing my stuff, this is cracking me up.
Okay, bye! Good luck!
I feel like this piece of fabric is all sorts of messed up.
I don't really know where I went wrong.
Something, this is wrong, and I know it.
But we're just gonna have to do it anyway.
I'm already stressed about this,
and I don't think it's going to get any better, so.
- You guys can probably just barely see the outlines
of my measurements, so I'm gonna go ahead and cut this out.
This is one side, and then I'm going to basically
draw this out again, and cut it out, and then try and
stitch it together and see how it looks.
Oh, no.
It would like sit right here, and have all this space.
- I got my fabric, I don't know if you can see.
I got it pinned around the stretchy band,
so I'm gonna try and sew it, I don't know
if this machine is going to work.
So I have no idea if me making the bag is going bigger
is going to fix the problem, but I did it any way.
We're about to cut out the back side of the shirt.
Okay, now I have my front and my back of the shirt.
One is drastically larger than the other.
We're stil gonna try and stitch them together.
I still haven't even started on my bottoms,
are you doing bottoms?
- Let me get to my top first.
- Yeah, I think we're just gonna do top,
cause this taking five-ever to do.
I have so much more respect for people that do this.
Okay, I kinda know how to pin, only a little bit,
because I used to do some kind of stitching, so here we go.
All right, I decided to call my Grandma because she's
going to help me set up the sewing machine,
cause I cannot figure it out, screen is so blurry.
Hi!
- Look who's here
- How does one thread a sewing machine?
- Uh, what kind of sewing machine are you trying to thread?
- I don't know, it's this thing --
- Is it your mom's Bernina?
- Yes
Well that's nice.
After getting poked a million times, I am now realizing
it was not smart to try and make one bigger than the other,
so I am gonna go ahead and recut another piece that is
as big as the back, so that they can match.
Try number three!
Haha, one pin down, the correct sized cut out, let's go.
She got it figured out guys.
- My stitches are going to be so crooked, and so bad,
this is the worst thing ever.
I pinned my whole shirt the wrong way.
Uhhhhhhh.
Again, everybody!
We're doing it again.
Hahaha!
My little stretchy waistband, look at how cute the
stretchy waistband is!
Go me, go me, we got the stretchy waistband
stretchy waistband.
- Ow! Dang it.
- I've stitched one of the sleeves on,
and then I decide it's going to be easier to hand stitch
the sleeves on so I can get them to be the right length.
So, I'm gonna hand stitch the sleeves on,
stitch the buttons on, and then I'll be done,
we'll see if we can put it on.
[Laughs}
I feel so stupid, I swear I am smart, okay?
I swear to you, this -- I
I just have no idea what I'm doing.
And I got so excited, cause I stitched up my shirt,
I accidentally stitched up the freaking armhole.
So I have to go through and pick it out,
and then like go over it again, to make sure all the
stitches stay in place, and AHHHH.
I just keep messing it up!
- I just found out I can't get into my shirt
doesn't matter what I do cause
it's too small.
So I'm gonna have to take an entirely different route.
To figuring out how to get this thing to work,
I have an idea, but it's a little farfetched.
But I think I can make it happen.
Honestly, it's gonna be real cool if I even
get anything wearable out of this.
I just sewed myself some really ratchet rope strings.
Because the sides of mine, when I put the shirt on,
had about this much space between them because I
am terrible at measuring apparently,
So I decided to take this and I would do, like,
a weaving pattern on the side to fill in the spots,
but also keep the shirt secure, and also
make it look a little trendy.
Because, you know, it was kinda bland at first.
- Here's the thing, right?
I stitched this sleeve on, and then this one I stitched,
like, under the armpit, so I'm gonna have to, like,
try to stitch it while it's on to get it good.
Also, this stretchy band waist did not turn
out the way I wanted it to.
It's not tight at all.
It was supposed to be, like, tighter, like that,
and it just did not turn out that way.
It's like, super loose.
So that's also a little whoops on my part.
But, uh, the rest of it is not that great now.
- Uhhhh, okay, okay!
- So the detail on this side is like this woven --
Obviously this is Callie's shirt, that ideally you
would wear a bralette with, but I just wanted to try it on.
Now that I have it finished, I am going to style it,
so that I can be the one that finally wins a challenge.
Oh, my gosh, this shirt went through it, but it turned out
actually really cute, in my opinion, someone feel free
to take this design, and make something of it.
Because I am never going to be able to make something
like this ever, ever gain.
Here's my full look, ta dah!
So I actually decided to pretty much do minimum amount
of styling, besides this really cute headband on top
of my braids, because I love the shorts that I'm wearing,
so, um, this is my outfit, and here is
Brooklyn's final look. Ooooh!
Ooh la la!
Stitched by the one and only Brooklyn McKnight.
It's time to do the Boomerangs, and posting and
letting y'all vote on Instagram story.
- Time for some pictures, go!
- The results are in on Insta story.
Now, drum roll please.
[Drumroll Noise]
- The winner is Brooklyn!
- I continue my streak.
How do we feel?
- I feel defeated, there's literally not a chance
for me to win one single one.
- I normally like, um, she's typically, like, more
fashion forward, so the fact that I keep winning
these "Who Wore it Better" makes me feel really good.
It is very cute.
These shirts might fall apart in about ten minutes.
- We might have to cut her out of hers.
- You can see my thing, and I originally did it with the--
this, like with this stretchy band, and the stretchy band
was too big, so then I figured out if I just flip it
it's actually way more comfortable.
- Time to cut you out.
- The issue is that I didn't get a way out of this,
and putting this on over my chest when the fabric
is not stretchy, you can see I, uh, can't breathe in this.
So --
