Making A Dress Blindfolded

hi there if you're trying to decide if you like my outfit let me give you a little spoiler you'll never figure it out I've been trying for like three years never reached a conclusion now there has been a lot of buzz about with the bird box challenge now let me translate bird box is millennial yz4 blindfolded and recently and my recommended I saw this video of Joanna's cedia doing a Bob Ross painting blindfolded I was like she can do that blindfolded I could make a dress blindfolded though there is the small matter of scissors and complex machinery but I ain't scared I am scared actually I have nightmares that I don't have my contacts in and everything is blurry that's right even my worst nightmares don't even dare to go fold lines they just go blurry like it's that's how scared I am of not being able to see however always when I have a fear the best way to conquer it is just to like dive in headfirst I was afraid of snakes oh I got a pet snake and would lay on the ground and let him crawl over my face you're wondering what happened to him we don't know he got loose like five years ago we found a piece of skin that He shed beside my brother's pillow and after a couple months there was a mysterious foul smell lingering in the house but I like to think he is out there being his six foot self somewhere in Mexico or something what where don't forget it what where are we talking about bag box first up we got to get the birds in the box as step one disregard that step one find a box Bing to the go I hope this snow is not bad for my phone but it's not water it's not real water it's snow so it should be okay it's beginning to Luke good luck Christmas was five weeks ago so why are we still doing this Wow my eyes feel very swaddled very secure cozy warm tension birds get in the box we need some bigger targets my goal is to grab the dog and then put the dot on the bottom I use our ears here [Music] okay so the doctor you know it turns out just it wasn't it because mainly I didn't want to put one in my car because last time that didn't work out very well I had to scrub some fecal matter off of my seats but I did get a bird in a box sorry kids before your time now look it wasn't because I couldn't get a bird into the box it was just because of the Bible in Proverbs I believe it says the righteous man regards the life of his animal and you know WWJD Jesus would not put a bird in a box now I am going to drive to my destination to find fabric I will not be driving blindfolded though just because I have this weird condition called common sense so that prevents me from doing so I had my father meet me at my destination to assist with recorded and as a precaution against me blindfold ammonia sleep picking out a very expensive fabric we decided to hit up the Salvation Army Curtin Department hello okay now I know the resemblance is probably mere happenstance but it still perturbs me and if I'm ever filthy rich I'm going to replace that rack for them that's true sorry I know I'm close oh I feel so now I have to pick one [Music] this one feels pretty thickened like a pretty cotton maybe florally print okay you know since the decisions made dad are you still here you can answer yes I'm tempted to say this is the worst thing I could have chosen but also I could have chosen this I'll count my blessings nobody panic okay but my dad and I both just witnessed a traffic light go from green to yellow back to green I'm not trying to say anything supernatural is going on infer what you will so besides this hideous balloony I also got some fabric to make a Martha Washington costume and these boots they were five dollars which is more than I would regularly pay for a pair of shoes but it's blurred before we start allow me to introduce you to my supplies paper in a pen so I can do a blindfolded sketch a blindfold so I can do a blindfolded everything some talk some not at all dangerous scissors a sewing machine last and certainly least we have this fabric we are working with a lot of shades of yellow here we have canary yellow right banana yellow just peed in the snow yellow and snot green the snots being from the cold you got from standing outside and a blizzard while you peed oh and there's a brown stripe a shade of brown which we will name we will actually not name that color let's begin okay now that we have the blindfold on let's go hole a bird box and break into our neighbor's house and raid the pantry I mean I mean take some kids in a boat down the river I mean make a dress that's all I do I will have to call my dad occasionally to help with recording and getting angles and just let's just start I'm taking out our fabric and I'm laying the stripes out vertically wrong side of our fabric is one of these sides but first we have to do a blindfolded sketch let's get this cracking I distinctly remember feeling like a genius at this point for using my fingers to anchor certain points in the picture and I thought it would turn out great but you know what they say a pride cometh before the fall lots of bible in this video all right so this is what we are going for I do think that this fit of skirt will be the easiest to do and the off-the-shoulder bodice makes it so we don't have to fit any sleeves yet it still won't look totally way too simple okay remember this is what we're going for start out by folding it in half this is the worst day of my life so far is there a hole in there oh my gosh I literally paid a dollar 99 for this they hold one hundred and ninety nine cents as a whole and I just made we're chopped we're gonna mark out something mark Alex general skirt shape I'm gonna follow that why am I even using chopped what is even the point of me I should edit the video of line fold into to ensure that we cut a more either line I'm going to then ultra fold I hate fitted sheet I hate trying to work with them we're gonna take the elastic off the edge and hopefully that'll help if nothing else we get to hear a satisfying tearing sound so short I've been blindfolded for like ten minutes and I already feel like I'm going feral or something now we're cutting out our skirt piece I began cutting out my skirt piece but eventually relegated myself to tearing because honestly who gives a rip get it I might have to change the design a little bit because it's not going to look exactly like that maybe a longer like maxi skirt okay keep this where it won't lose it lets him the top this is very nerve-wracking I'm so thankful for muscle memory I do have this machine pre threaded so this is good because it adds some texture which will make it so I don't get lost and I won't forget which side as the top anymore oh I need to hem the bottom two time timing will rolled him along the bottom using my finger as a guide to see how on track is fun get a close-up dad if you really are my dad next if you're too warm take off one of your layers I just get so hot with this blindfold on locate your pin cushion this could be potentially dangerous but I mean I poke myself every time I so even when I'm not bird box applied so I don't think it'll make much of a difference if anyone's thinking about doing this challenge now one word of inspiration for you would be what do you have to lose your sanity don't do this this is awful the worst part is gonna be I didn't get any elastic out and I think I'm gonna need some elastic for the skirt and I'm just gonna have to go hunt for some in my sewing box that might be a little rough because I don't even know if I actually have any but we can't make any trips because be roads are so bad you cannot leave the house because those people with the snowblower fronts to their trucks are a slacking no judgment on them I'm sure things have been rough lately maybe they didn't even get them to plow snow who know some of them maybe just have those things for decorations best day about snowplows is the heaping piles of snow they can make because the best way to make a snow fort is when there's a big pile and then you just like dig a hole out of it so if I had a snow plow or the front of my Priya I would go out I'd gather all the snow up in a one big pile and I would contemplate how to make my snow for each they make it two Story one store probably not safe to make it two story so one story and I'd be like which shovel should I use then I'd be like I'm thirsty so I would go home and I'd get a glass of water mosey up to my room and sit by my space heater and then scroll through pictures of my sister's kids on Facebook and yeah that's what I'd do if I had a snow plow let's find the elastic here you know what this experience has inspired me to do two things one respect blind people even more to clean my dang house or nearing the Sony box is this not a sewing box only up there with a heck put a lamp there probably me we'll never know let's try to make it back in what the heck just happened so the elastic just brushed up against an antique harp let's see if I can recreate it at this point you want to take your elastic and you want to measure it to the size of your waist and then cut it off at that point now we're going to take a safety pin and put it on the end we're going to keep the other end in our mouth so we don't lose it we're going to locate the opening of the top of our skirt dress wise I think it's going pretty well emotionally let's get you a close-up shot I know here so there could be a creepy man standing behind me turn off his pointy daddy white teeth Don was a dentist but not an orthodontist he's slowly reaching his hands over my shoulder he's about to dig his claws into me okay all right now when you located both ends of your last day you're going to want to tie them together ah okay those now let's do our first fitting to help determine where we want though with the bodice okay I just heard a pin drop there's a pin floating around here somewhere ready to strike it and poke it and draws blood I'll find you before you find me a little pin boy fitting I can feel that it's not quite long enough to just wear it as a dress like this but how fantastic now I have a ceiling fan in here I feel like I'm learning so many more things about my house being blindfolded that's how unobservant I am with my eyes if you would have told me I had a ceiling fan in my dining room I would have been like yeah you're probably right I'm an observer I wouldn't know yeah I'm fine it's just a little bit too long found the pen that's what drunk feels like note to self never get drunk bonus time oh if you're gonna be blindfolded don't wear fully sure I spent so much time on my eye makeup today because I knew I was gonna be doing a video yes I knew which video I was gonna be doing but did I put two and two together no certainly this piece of cloth it was a fitted bedsheet so we have these weird I can tell indentations that we want to cut along this little crevice thing right here we have a piece like this we should have another piece these should match up roughly perfectly they were cut from the same cloth if you will this should go around my shoulders I can tell it's gonna be a little bit too big so we'll just cut something to make the top I first rounded out the edges of my pieces and then I hemmed under the bottom and then I put the two pieces on top of each other right sides together and sewed them along the edges but you shouldn't be writing any of this down because it turned out awful the cutting is hard the sizing is hard walking around is the hardest part but like the actual sewing is not that hard oh crap I didn't know you could cramp they're fascinating I'm just gonna put some tiny stitches right there in there to just kind of finish off the look we are done all that's left is the grand reveal so I'm going to reveal this to you and myself on my little buddy Sylvia here time for the grand reveal looks like tomorrow okay am I crazy or does this dress look like an ugly version of the dress Miss Universe wore to crown the new Miss Universe first looks like what you would order on wish mine looks like what actually comes in the mail
