thanks for watching! feel free to like/comment/subscribe if you enjoyed!
I believe those bent safety pins are for holding together layers while quilting.
MYSTERY SOLVED !!! Thank you! Though I don’t quilt (yet) That’s interesting to know :-)
i always wondered!!!
For that bat shaped corset, if it ends up being a lost cause, you should totally use it to make a pattern for some new diy pieces. You could find some cool thrifted fabric you would want as a bat corset or vest like that and make a new version! Would be super cool way to get some use out of it.
Ps I love how much you use up scraps and bits of old clothing/materials to make more fun things. So thrifty and sustainable and makes me want to make things out of all my little bits and bobs
My thoughts exactly
What I love about the alt styles is that nothing has to be perfect, and doing things yourself is so fun, and I adore making things anyway, so i love doing anything like that, and I wanna make some more pieces cause the only times I have a reason to are for cosplay
I love cinema strange! Been listening to them since 1997 when I started going to goth clubs in San Francisco. 🦇
whats your favorite song by them?!
Aboriginal Anemia! I’d dance to that song in my room when I was a teen in the 90s! 💜 that song brings back so many memories! I have so many bands that I ❤️ I listen to all types of genre but goth is where my 🖤 is
@@NataliaArtistim listening now, thank u! def my vibe.
idk if you like Hot Hot Heat, but their first album REALLY sounds like this! before they went corporate.
i love this style, so raw and just pure creation
Back in the day before cheap throw away fashion, my Mum used to harvest buttons, zips, ribbons, elastic etc from dead clothing. She used to keep them in repurposed food containers. It used to be for economy and scarcity, now its great it can also be environmental.
Depullers are awesome 👍👍 If you cant afford one, a cheap body hair shaver also works brilliantly.
the bent safety pins are used for basting quilts! they're really nice for thick fabrics
Each day I learn something new 🥰 thank you ! ❤️
i love that u threw in the material haul it was my favorite part 🥺 so smart to pay attention to all the tiny bits & think of all the possibilities for repurposes. i also love how when u for example talk about something u took off somewhere & put it back onto something else u would cut a clip of the previous piece, thats such a small detail but an extra minute in editing &, at least to me, helpful while watching. i feel like the way u pay attention to detail is something extremely admirable & as a viewer i can totally feel that in everything u make, from ur diys to lookbooks to how u edit ur videos, i just love how u go about everything being so mindful about the smallest things
Ah Rabbit, you are brilliant. My fave is the stunning red & black ballerina dress. 🤩 Gorg! So Alexander McQueen. Your creativity is spectacular. Also, Walter was mesmerized at the end with all the harvested scraps and ribbons. 😸🧶 -xoxo Kada
We need a makeup tutorial! You're makeup is always so stunning! I'm so jealous!
Im genderfluid and finding my style in the genders is has been a journey to say the least. What I found comfortable and nice looking has changed ofc, but the biggest part that has changed is my care about what people think of my looks and having to pass in a cis gendernorm conforming society. Im afab, so I tried to push the femininity side in all kind of directions, but ESPECIALLY cis-passing, which I didnt do for myself. Over time (and especially the last 6-7 months) I experimented with masc outfits aand masc presentation and I really found a great style and vibe for myself and Im excited to see where its gonna go. That being said, I had stopped presenting femme (kinda), which was weird because I still felt like I needed to fit the societal norm, but now I’m ready to start with that progress too. Thrifting and diying/crocheting is something I found I really enjoy doing, because the process is slow, but the excitement of the finished product or what Ill find thrifting is so worth it (and I dont harm the enviroment as much, which I also like the feeling of)!
Anyways, because my style (especially femme) has felt lost, I love looking at fashion videos and yours inspire me so much and the femininity in alternative fashion is something I really like. Your style is so cool, and your diys inspire me to look at things I didnt think Id like but I actually love them!
(Im sorry for the rambling but you look fabulous!)
Hi, I'm genderfluid too! (I'm a genderfluid transguy). It's nice to read about someone going through a similar experience to mine. I relate to finding my style in different gender vibes, for a while I was also exploring (and still am) more masc outfits and presentations. They feel great, but now that I'm 3 months on low dose T (and the weather is getting slightly warmer where I live) I'm starting to feel more comfortable in my body and drawn to fem styles again. My goal is to be able to dress as fem or masc or androgynous or genderf*ck as I want while having a masc/neutral body & hairstyle, so that when I dress fem people are like "oh a boy in a dress" or "a ??? in a dress". And there really is something so freeing and creative, both aesthetically and genderwise in alt styles. Watching Rabbit's videos has made me feel inspired and more comfortable dressing fem while being trans
the black and pink corset looks loads better in my opinion!!! the finish and fitting makes it look like its a lot higher quality :)) you could probably get some latex conditioner if you want that shine back though!!
Another video with Rabbit 🖤 loved this video!!
Yay! Thank you!❤️
Maybe the harvested doc marten part could be a choker-collar? So much potential 🤩 always love your videos 🤍
hi!! i just found your channel, and it's inspired me to keep going with an abandoned DIY project of mine. i've been hand-sewing as i watch this video ^^
Aghhh! I've fallen in love with your videos! I love your vibe so much and you give me lots of inspiration every time i see you uploading a new video! Love the diy mindset
Ok, I'm only a third way through the video but the emily the strange hoodie??? Insanely cool 🌟
Aww thanks so kind! Thank u!!🥰
Hehe ofc! Also I'm wondering with the bat corset you might be able to make a pattern... That way you can use a sturdier material? Also watched the rest of the diys and you are so talented woah!!
@rsaunders you’re so sweet! And I was considering the same thing tbh…. We’ll see in the future ! But once it falls apart fully I think that’s a great plan 🥳
@@RattusRattusI'm excited to see what happens! And the lookbooks 👍
Rabbit video on a Sunday? Hell yeah!!
My roommate had two sweatshirts that he loved but had to have cut off due to a situation that landed him in the hospital and I decided to sit down and sew them back together. The first one is done and took about a week of me sewing my entire shift at work (I work night shift at a hotel) and I was so proud after it was done. It's not perfect, and there's some spots I need to try to fix because they're itchy, but I'm so happy I was able to fix it instead of it ending up in the garbage.
I absolutely loved that ballerina dress, gonna give it a try to some tank tops I got!
I love that even in a 'simple' update kind of video you explain your process its great diy insight
the vinyl corset would be so cool as a prom/formal dress. just add poofy skirt and spikes!
So true !!!
Your DIY videos have been very helpful to me as an alt sewing enthusiast. Thank you!
Wooo!!! I was watching the last vid in small portions every day and i finished it yesterday! I was hoping for the second part ❤❤❤
K im a few min in and im genuinely so amazed by that pink and black corset revival. That is something i would never have the patience to work on something like that.
your style is so different than mine but these are still so fun and inspiring
you mind of the best 1980's movies pretty in pink when Annie Potts broke the fashion trends and I love you that fashion diy stuff-DLH
Could you do a tutorial on square necklines I’d love to learn how to do that ❤
You can use super glue if you are afraid of losing your studs! It helped me a lot but ofc there's no way to cannibalise them for a new project once the glue dries
YAY rabbit diy video!! I love the non-diy stuff because you're adorable and fun to listen to and I love the diy stuff because it gives me inspo!
Don't beat yourself up about the first vinyl piece, it definitely has a different vibe without the glossiness but I think it looks lovely. The second vinyl piece I agree you should leave it as is! I don't think the cracking looks bad personally, it has charm and looks well-loved, no worries unless it starts peeling imo. The grommet change and strap fix did wonders on their own! My DIY depiller growing up was a hair razor loll it works but can thin the material if you go overboard. The harvest haul made me feel so seen lol
Gaaahh this made me want to sew!!!
I wonder if doing a few thin layers of modpodge or some other kind of varnish might help stop the surface from flaking on the bat corset top? It would add gloss too. It's a really cool design and it fits you well so if all else fails, you could take it apart and use it as pattern pieces to make new tops of your own - imagine it in velvet! 🦇🦇🦇
19:50 that cardigan needs jack o lantern buttons!! :))
....now im convinced to get a depiller. Could be a game changer for thrifted stuff
Highly reccomend!!!!! 👌
Yes,
Those are absolutely guilter's safety pins.
i love the cropped hoodie with the chains and the the fishnet top. GENIUS! i love wearing tank tops but want a baggy ..partial cover up. i never thought about doing the cropped thingies. also i like how it makes like a peekaboo shape on the chest
Just found ur channel again after two years!!
Welcome back!🥰
I couldn't focuse on the topic of the video because of your amazing doll collection 😱❤🔥 So many adorable monsters aaaaah I'm dead
How do you wash stuff with safety pins and chains? I'm always worried about it possibly rusting
If possible remove before washing! Spot cleaning is what I will generally do on really heavily modified pieces (like jackets and purses); some metal is anti rust and I’ve never had an issue (like with grommets, aluminum chain,) but if you’re really worried / worked really hard, I’d just be safe and remove as much as possible pre - wash :-)
WASHERS on the spikes you are a geNIUS! My spikes keep opening the holes and falling out!!!
The bent safety pins are for quilting
i've been mending some stuff myself, it was nice to have this on while i patched over some holes in my leggings :)
I always change my purses few times. 👍😊🤟🏾🖤❤️🦇📱
The bent safety pins are quilting pins to hold your blanket layers together
I love your oversized long sleeve shirt
Oh how I missed your diy vidoes!
I wish i could steal your whole wardrobe, Rabbit🖤🧡❤️
You can fake a "sreamer" by setting your iron on steam and holding it an inch or 2 above the garment on the ironing board, and smoothing the fabric a bit til you get a proper steamer
Ooh good to know! Thank you ☺️
This was so inspiring!
Love your style.
Thank you so much 🦇🖤🦇
I loved the video and the outfits!!!!
I love that dress from the red top, you did amazing on all these projects!
so much fun! this gives me a few ideas for styling and doing mods on my own stuff
Looks awesome
Thank you so much for inspiration to mend or redo clothes!
You're so talented Rabbit!! ☆ I always love seeing your new creations and DIYs :")))
I cant believe I missed the notification for this! D: I'm excited to watch now though!! Your diys are always the best and inspire me so so so much!!! couldnt thank you enough for your videos 💞
All these outfits are super cute!
Ty so much! 🥰
I'm so happy that i randomly found your channel. Right in the middle of a closet declutter/ overhaul. Love your style and your own custom designs. Watched some of your videos while painting patches for a battle jacket with a nature/ insect theme 😆
i love watching your videos, so inspiring! i also love doing little modifications here & there to my clothes and harvesting all the nice leftover parts is so much fun!
I always love, love, love these videos! You are so inspiring!
Thank you so much!!🥰❤️
You are so creative and inspirational! You have one of the best alt styles I've ever seen❤ I also deconstruct pieces and keep all the bits for future diy projects haha I need to get around to fixing up a lot of clothes soon!
Wow, you’re so talented. I especially love the dark ballerina dress and the Emily the Strange hoodie. So fun and inspiring 💕
U are sooo talented!! Hoping i can get like this someday!!
Sooo beautiful! It's really impressive!
Thank you so much!!!
You are so talented! I wish I lived in your area! We would be making so much stuff!!!!!! I love how the corset came out! You always brighten up my day! I suffer from severe PTSD and depression and I snuggle up in my celestial satin silk pajamas (the exact one you use for your wizard looks), my mom gave me that actual pj set, and I snuggle up with my yorkie Maltese (who is always rocking Halloween spooky 👻 sweaters all year round! We love October, Fall and Halloween in this home! We celebrate spooky season everyday ! Everyday is Halloween 🎃!
how do you store/organize your scraps/sewing/crafting supplies? i'm so curious! can you make a video about orginizing those or room tour kind of thing?
Absolutely love your DIYs ❤
The bat wing corset style top.. maybe when its lifespan is reached you could take it apart and use the pieces as patterns to make similar garments.
You are very talented. You did an amazing job transforming the clothes🦋
Thank you so much 🥰
Oh amazing I love your outfit clothes. Be careful with pins. Your clothes are my favorite. 👍😊🤟🏾🖤🖤🦇🦇📱
You are very talented and creative! I will be watching more 🥰
Thank you so much
U can use those bat wings to make those shoe wings , that have gramets and u can lace them on ur shoes
You could use the relief 3d paint from acrilex to “make” de layer like vinil in your corset. I don’t know de name of the in English, but in Brasil we say just “tinta relevo 3d BRILHANTE”. i love de effect that it makes like a nem piece of leather
videos like these make me very happy and inspire my brain~🥰✨ i really love the Emily Strange kitty hoodie!!! also those corset tops, when they've run their course, you could take em apart and trace the pieces to make a pattern! 😋 alsoalso i know there are probly videos on this already, but i'd love to see how you go about dying your fabrics! (if you haven't showed that already and i either missed it or forgot😅) alsoalsoALSO i recently mended a whole pile of socks and i have a bunch of sock bits now too for a sock top! another inspiration courtesy of you, thankyou!🤗🖤✨
Cinena Strange merch is so hard to find much like their music. YT seems to have the most in my opinion. I used to love bandcamp but I've been burned multiple times so I don't download from them anymore. I digress...
I love your videos. It really gets my crafty creativity flowing. Thank you for the beautifully chaotic inspiration.
May I ask what you mean by getting burned by bandcamp?
Gosh you’re the coolest person ever
🥺🥰
great video ^^
this is actually inspring, i never really did DIY because i cant sew but your stuff is so cool, i wish i could get vinted stuff and maybe create my own gothic clothes- like where did you get your stuff from?
Lovelyy~~~
Thank you !!! ❤️❤️❤️
I have ADHD. Of course I have loads of partially finished (or not even started yet) projects 😂
Your video is great as always! Question - did you ever make a video for tips for using a sewing machine? I found your channel a couple weeks ago and saw you mentioned in a few videos that you'd do that if people were interested, but haven't gone through to see if you did that yet. If not, I would love for you to make one! I've found your channel super inspiring, and since I basically need to rebuild my wardrobe from the ground up bc of all the weight I gained the last few years, I really want to get one and alter thrift stuff (esp since I'm also 5'1 so my proportions are hella off -- like, maxi dresses are usually taller than I am lol)
New aesthetic, Vampire + pirate = Vampirate (?)
Yesssss ! There’s so much potential there! 😍
You're so beautiful/handsome! I adore your makeup! ^^
Thank you so much 🥺🥰
16:40 if you don’t want the batwing corset i’ll love to buy it from you!! 🥰✨
😍
I need to get the lint depiller SO BAD where'd you get yours?
I know I'd get a lot of use out of it but ughh i want it for super cheap...LOL
What lint piller do you use? 🥺
Hi what dye did you use on the first diy and how did you get the hood color to match the tee color? Also love the leg warmer diy those 3 where my faves
The dye was rit dye in black but any black dye should work!
For the red Emily hoodie? The hood was part of it when I bought it :-)
Thanks! That’s very sweet 🥰
@RattusRattus ah in the before it must have been down....I have been loving your content you are inspiring me to push my limits of the few things I can do so ty been in a run with creativity
Do a project type vid, start with one piece and process of the diy ing
I’ve done many videos in that style! You can check them out here if you’re interested:

i'm so in love with the detatched collars but i was wondering how they are as a sensory experience? i'm someone that struggles a lot with things around my neck, like i can handle regular collared shirts (usually with the top button undone) but chokers/collars and turtlenecks/mocknecks are usually a no-go, so i was wondering if you had any idea where they would fall on that scale? Loving the videos btw!! I've also been trying to tackle some of my tears old diys lately 😅
Hi!! I think on the scale of chokers/collars/turtlenecks , a detached collar (especially when not too tight and made of a soft material like cotton) is much more like the experience of having like, a scarf or something than an actual choker turtleneck (at least for me!)
I’ve made all my detached collars either from cutting off the top part of collared shirts, or from just scrap cotton fabric so they’re all quite soft and comfy, and (at least for me) rest more on the shoulders than the neck so it doesn’t feel too constricting (but everyone’s different) it helps dull down the sensory annoyance when it’s layered in my opinion too (like with a sweater or shirt underneath/over top) so there’s more even distribution of fabric :-) also, the ones with ribbon ties are nice cause they’re much more adjustable and can be loosened (but I wanted to put some snaps/buttons in these ones for stylistic reasons)
Sorry for the long comment I hope that helps! Good luck :-) I also think “Dickeys” are a thing which is where the collar is like, attached to straps that go under your armpits (under shirts) so depending on your sensory feelings that could either make it much better or much worse - but something to look into perhaps :-)
Good luck !!
Also! No one asked but this video is really good for tutorial on making the detachable collars if anyone is interested czcams.com/video/olbQI6yMJ30/video.htmlsi=C7tJVka9qtNhBa1v ❤️
@@RattusRattus awesome, tysm!! i will definitely be checking that tutorial out then:}
8:51 I love the dress you paired with your DIY cut fishnet top. Where did you get it? Or is it DIY as well?
Thank you so much! It was a hand me down from my cousin! ❤️ but the tag says “divided” which I’m like 90% sure is an H&M brand :-) hope you can find a similar one! 🥰
@@RattusRattusThanks for answering!! Divided is an H&M brand from what I remember! I’ll be digging for a similar one for sure ☺️
Where are the dyed leg warmers from??? They’re so cuteeee
They were originally a skirt that I thrifted and turned into leg warmers :-)
Can you please tell us the name/brand of the thing that you used for the dress at 24:20? :)
It’s called a fabric shaver (or depiller)! I used the brand Conair and I got the rechargeable USB model :-)
@@RattusRattus Thank you! !
where r the spiderweb striped tights from tht u wore w the wednesday addams dress? :)
It’s actually two different stockings ! But they’re both from the dollar store around Halloween time :-) I stock up on a lot of different stockings / tights / legwear at the dollar store during fall and then mix and match throughout the year! ❤️
how did u sew the net material????
Very wide but close together zig zag stitches , with the fabric rolled over itself (in my sewing machine) ❤️
how do you wash the Emily strange hoodie?
Remove safety pins and wash as normal (no way around it lol) maybe in a mesh bag just in case
thank you so much! i love ur content btw@@RattusRattus
34:46 ¿¿¿??? I need to keep up with this channel more, because I did not know you had an orange cat!!!
I’m only pet sitting him temporarily for my mom! But his name is Braveheart and he’s 18 years old and was my childhood cat 😸
(I generally only have two kitties (lemon and tuna, who are tuxedo cats!) but it’s lovely to have a third kitty guest in the house ❤️❤️❤️)
@@RattusRattus That makes so much sense, I already knew about Lemon and Tuna so I was so baffled at seeing another cat! I literally went back to that part like five times to confirm that it was another cat
I always wanted to dress goth but I don’t wanna called a poser I do
Listen to the music
i hate saftey pins. I always loose those fuckers
D:
WAIT DID U GET A NEW CAT :0000
No I was just cat sitting for my mom! :-)
@@RattusRattus the cat is a cutie though!
@@embergruber9696 yes!!! He’s the best ❤️ I look forward to seeing him again , Mr B is such a sweetie 💕
you talk so fast its so kewl
I wanted to ask, what kind of dye did you use for the synthetic materials? I have a blanket I want to dye, I think it's acrylic yarn.
I used rit dye for synthetic materials but any dye for synthetics should work! ❤️
