Female 1: Hey Rob and Corrine, I really like your show, but I have been waiting my whole life for an episode about babies. I mean really, what do I have to do, spit up all over myself.
Rob: Hi and all right, we got it, baby stuffs.
Corrine: VintageMeGood, bjababy, theinnocent9, amberlbrowning, and nomc123, this one is for you.
Rob: And your little one.
Corrine: How to make a baby pod?
First, take out an old sweatshirt and your baby. Yup! We have the stuff available. Measure your baby from head to toe and diagonally mark the measurement onto your sweatshirt. Now, measure around baby shoulders, divide the number in half and mark that with onto the sweatshirt about four inches down from the top mark. Next, sketch out the pod-like shape that is about six inches longer than where you made your bottom mark. Pin the two layers of the sweatshirt together and cut out the pod about half an inch outside the sketched outline. Take one-half of the pod, sketch out the circle that is about four inches in diameter and cut it out.
Now, cut the slit down the center about ten inches. Flip it over and pin the casing around the circumference of the circle. Then sew it with a zigzag stitch making sure not to sew the whole shirt at the end. When you are done, take out a zipper, flip over the pod half and place the zipper right side facing down below the opening within the casing and right on the top of the slit. Carefully pin the zipper to both sides of the slit and saw it on using a zipper foot and a straight stitch.
Now, cut the slit for arm hole and sew a zigzag stitch around both holes. Place the pod halves right sides together, pin and sew a pin around the perimeter. Next, press to see it open and sew a zigzag stitch down the middle of the C all the way around the length of the pod. Now, what are you going to do is patch a piece of ribbon, attach the end to a safety pin and pin it through the casing. Cut and burn the end of the ribbon and you got your self a cute little baby pod.

Rob: We will be right back.
Female 2: Everyday your finger makes countless selfish clicks. How about a couple for your friends? Share threadbangers, it is as easy as one, two, three and then you can get back to whatever was you are doing
Female 3: Hi, this is my first video for threadbanger. I do not know. I just want to show you some stuff that I have already made in the past. This is a zipper bracelet. It is really easy, just sew the other, here is the other, like that onto the tie at the end of it. Then I cut it off and then I just made it into a cuff. That was pretty cool. Sew a button onto it, it is pretty simple. This is a bus skirt; this is my favorite thing that I have made, a tie skirt.
And what I did over the past five years, I made a starburst dress. Basically, what we did is made this chain, but it was a 106 feet long. This is me with my date Ron and everything on this picture, I made it myself. So if you can see this is the tie that I made. We have a bunch of the bags so I made a clutch out of it. These are shoes. They were my favorite, glory at all; this is the corset I made. That is what you can do with starburst. What can you do?
