Male: Welcome to viewer appreciation week here on thread heads.
Female: As I watch the confetti fall I could not help but to think our wonderful viewers and get a little sentimental, man they are great; I thought.
Male: So we got a bunch of cool questions; we got a whole bunch of cool videos, let us get started.
Male2: Yo what’s up thread bangers keep you threads banging you want a cupcake anyway I want to know what is the best way for me to get a celebrity look, I want to look like a celebrity rock star so, give me some websites or some tips, I am looking for really flack jackets; some hot pants.
Male: Mike; the cool thing about most celebrity fashion is a lot of its customized or one of a kind.
Female: The truth is if you have confidence you can pull anything off.
Male: But definitely adding studs, stencils or cleverly placed patch to your already styling gear can bring you that much closer to rockstardome.
Female: And speaking of rock stars there is no better way to go to prom than dress as one. Just ask Amber Boy.
Femal2: I am really inspired all the DIY stuff. I got T shirts in the drawers and I have this already and when this is all done, prom night will make another and show it to you guys; it is going to be awesome, I am really excited.
Male: Amber that was awesome. Next stop we had this viewer request.
Male2: I want to make denim skirts out of old jeans but I am not sure how to undo the in seam, any tips for project like that?
Female: Okay, get out those old jeans, lay them out flat and cut about 12 inches off the legs. Take out your handy dandy seam riper and turn the pants inside out. Begin ripping the seams out the cloth and go all the way down both in seams.
Turn it right side out and rip the other part of the end seams. When you are done it should look something like this. Now rip the front seam up to the zipper and rip the back seam all the way up to where belt loops begin. Carefully pin the front parts together. Turn it inside out and pin the back pieces together like so, then sew a seam that follows your pin line, turn it right side out and sew the front seam and you are done, rocking new skirt.
Male: And if that is not enough jeans skirt transformation for you, this idea came over from Madina.
Female1 My name is Madina Francis, I just found the site actually that is very cool. And as you can tell by my room, I am still living in the 80s. Make with skirt I have my pair of my favorite jeans, there were two on the bottom, I cut them in half right here and added my old favorite shirt on the bottom so it is like a fairly everywhere.
Female: When we return more from our viewers but first; blow out your candles and make a wish because you deserve it.

Male: So we are going to test out this tailoring your own shirt idea that we found on YouTube, this is one of my baggy shirts, so with my mom’s help, we are going to pinch and pin about that much at the weak side and see if we can get fit nicer. It works you can see how nice the sleeves fit now, it is tight on my sides; perfectly fit for me.
Male: Great job you guys and just yesterday we received this video from Alteration Guru, David Paige Coven, who we mentioned that our size matters episode check out the thread banger blog for his complete lesson on custom shirt making; thanks David.
