(Background Intro Music)
Female 1: Hey there welcome to Thread Bangers.
Male: This week are hanging out in Austin at the Stitch Fashion Show with the girly craft desire. Started by four members of the Austin Craft Mafia, Jennifer Perkins, Naughty Secretary Club, Jessie Kelly Landis, in Ametandsasha, Tina Sparkles of Sparkle Craft, and Carly Hand of Identity Crisis Clothing. Welcome to the fifth Annual Stitch.
Female 1: We will be girly bitches.
Female 2: These are all vintage bed sheets a lot of times, you go to this craft fairs and 99% of the accessories are for women and there is never anything for guys and so it just makes me happy to think of some guy going to his office cube wearing a Star Trek tie. Dextrol, I love you so much. He is a god that is why.
Female 3: This is a smitten it is not a mitten, it is a smitten and this, so people can hold hands while it is cold outside.
Female 1: We are here with Laura who is an avid watcher of the show and look at the fairy wing. So tell me where you learned to make that Laura.
Laura: Of course on Thread Bangers.
Female 1: Thread Bangers, I like Thread Bangers.
David: My name is David Murray and I am an illustrator, designer, and skin printer for just some of the name of Seibei, it is kind of my way of bringing like a real world that I enjoy into like a spacing cultures and I was kind of one I figured I could make a living out of an artist. Like they say, you could make a living doing anything if you just work really hard at it and I think that is true. So, you know I make goofy zombie shirts and draw dinosaurs.
Matt:: My name is Matt Stinchcomb, I am one of the vice-president of etsy.com and I took the pledge to buy hand made this holiday season. We are just to trying to get people to think about where there money is going and make sure that it is not going to some big box corporation and go in and support an independent artist instead Buyhandmade.org.
Female 1: Hey, we will be right back we got some more shopping to do.
Hey, monkey! The earth looks pretty tonight, we should treat it better do not you think! What is that now?

Female 4: Hey ladies, this is Shauna and I am from First Samples here on Austin Texas and we are going to make leg warmers from a sweater. They are going to be purple match. Our charming models hat goes. First thing, you wanted to decide how long you want your leggings to be. If you are happy with them being this long then you can just use the sleeve. What you do is just cut off the sleeves off. So, next thing is turn them inside out and pull it on your leg. So, we are going to do a fitting.
So, you want to take your thin part which is the underarm seen here because you do not want to make extra sleeves, you want to use the same one that they had and then just kind of take it a little bit. But, you just take your pin and we are going to do 20 tapes so that they will stay up. Hold your pen now, you pull it off, you lay this out, and you are going to connect the dots or connect pins. And, what you do you have given yourself a roadmap of what you are sowing. There you go following the lines.
All right, so the next step is going to be the trim off, of the extra fabric, you want to make sure that you like the fit. You flip it right side-out and pull them on again.
Now, all we have to do is finish the top edge of it so that it will come unraveled, same thing for the other one.
Transform your old sweaters and turn them into something new.
Maxwell: My name is May a.k.a. Maxwell, sir the name of my company is You Are Hard for the Snotties? Well, we are seeing out of paste, pasted needle. Well, we find all of our fabrics at, you know, Good Will and then we recreate them. A lot of it is like goodies jerseys. I just started out like spray painting and recreating t-shirts for my hip-hop collections, trying to make a little bit of money it shows because nobody would buy my music. So, I thought maybe they would buy my clothes and I started to do really well.
Male 1: So, we had a super rod time at stitch. Thanks to everyone who made it possible.
