A SAPPHIRE Costume | Making a Drag Costume!
Here is a run through of the costume I made for Ottawa drag queen, Sophia Sapphire! The theme for the costume was blues and rhinestones (hence the queen's name lol).
There was a lot that went into the harnessing and small pattern pieces for the shapes of the base of the costume. I tried to show some of it in the video, but I didn't want to make the video too long. If you have any questions about how I went about it or any steps in the process, leave a comment below!
I hope you enjoy the video :)

Making a DRAG Costume | First Costume
Переглядів 4,7 тис.2 роки тому
I was lucky enough to get a chance to make something for one of Canada's best drag queens, Kimmy Couture! This was my first time making a complete costume and I wanted to share how it came together. It's a silver satin 2 piece with a matching jacket, and buckled halter. I've been commissioned for a handful more costumes since so I'll definitely be doing more videos like this. If you have any su...
Making a Sherpa Jacket! | DIY

The story of making a Sherpa jacket! It was quite the adventure and complex make with a lot to figure out along the way. I hope you enjoy watching the process :) I couldn't show EVERY detail of how it was made and explain everything or it'd be a 40 minute video. So if you are making something similar and have questions, drop me a comment! You can also follow along on: instagram: w...
DIY Harem Pants | making pants!
Переглядів 16 тис.2 роки тому
I DIY'ed a pair of "harem" pants! If you are unfamiliar with the type of pant, it's a very loose fitting, drop crotch, jogger styled pant usually made with a really light weight stretchy fabric. It's my first time making a pair of more lounge wear styled pants and they are SO comfy! Hope you enjoy the video of how they came together :) You can also follow along on: instagram: wyat...
Mina Gerges is a designer with an interesting pattern making process. He wraps himself in shrink wrap and duct tape, almost creating a very tight cast of his body shape. He cuts it off and creates his pattern from this, his pieces end up fitting really nicely.

Thank you for the knowledge!
Hey there. Just a quick thought to throw at you. Technically, said Harem Pants, could be strongly argued, came straight out of Ancient Persia. The more appropriate name would be, "Hareem Pants". The pockets for said pants were along the sides of the legs. As pickpocketing was quite prevalent.
i looked up dragon ball pants and couldn’t find the name or style or anything good, this is the first helpful thing i saw jah bless u brotha
Wow Wow, you rocked that Coat and it looks good!!!
Awesome... now I'm gonna try...1st get supplies and learn how to use a sewing machine
OMG I just started my Sherpa jacket yesterday. Today I am taking a break. Something every one should do before starting one. Watch as many videos as possible even before you decide on a pattern. Watch them all the way through. Buy a little extra fabric cause you will need to practice,practice practice.(I did'nt:(.)Try not to short cut or skip any steps. Get in touch with your emotions for your serger. And Unique the only advice I can give you after such a GREAT tutorial is press your paper pattern and it won't rollup on you. THANK YOU SO MUCH. Tomorrow I'm going back in:)

YES
Brilliant sew
Love it!!!

Where'd you get the liner from? I can't find one
I got it from a local store called Fabricland! A lot of different fabrics could work for a liner though depending on how you want it to look and feel :)
Kimmy!!! 😊
I am struggling finding the right type of knit fabric to use as a lining. Can you telll me what you used? Also, pointers on finishing button holes and collar would be much appreciated.
Hmm I don't remember the exact fabric I'm sorry! It wasn't anything special though, just a patterned knit with a little bit of stretch. Things I would consider are: - Will it create a lot of static taking it on and off? - Will the fabric "grab" my clothes, or bunch up sliding the sleeves on and off? - Will the colour stain or show dirt easily? I had to do the button holes by hand because the fabric was too thick for my machine. So my only advice is to be patient and really reinforce it so it doesn't start to open up and show the filling of the jacket. For the collar, make sure you don't "dip down" too low with the neck hole on the back pieces. When I made my pattern, I went a bit too low, and the collar doesn't quite stand perfectly at the back. It's a small thing but hope it helps :)
You are so handsome
Aw thank you!
Hi, can you make a tutorial how to turning a harem pants to normal pants? I bought some, but the middle part is too low it's difficult to walk around with it T.T
I'm not sure if I'll make a video that specific, but my most recent video (ua-cam.com/video/hYirp5ATjYM/v-deo.html) has some alterations on it specifically with something that is a bit too big. Here are 2 ways you can go about it in mind: 1. The "proper" way would be to measure how much you want removed, seam rip/disassemble, cut the pieces to be smaller, and then reassemble. 2. The way I would probably do it (and the way I did it in my most recent video), would be to put the pants on, pinch the fabric to see how much you want taken away, pin it from the inside with the extra fabric inside the garment (not outside of it), sew across the pins, and then cut away the excess. Feel free to DM me on instagram if you want to chat through it more :)
Great video. Love your pattern making skills. That's one of my goals once I advance my basic sewing skills to the next level. I'm assuming that you got the body measurements you needed before you started making your pattern pieces. I've always wanted to try my hand at making an opulent, over-the-top drag costume, but I don't know any drag queens and I'm a little intimidated by some of the fabrics which can be difficult to sew.
Thank you! Yes I did get the measurements before jumping into the pattern making. Honestly, just go for it! Depending on where you live, there are probably local drag queens or cosplay folks and they are ALWAYS looking for new stuff. If you're too nervous to reach out to people, you can always just make yourself something as practice. It's fun to make yourself something extravagant and you don't have to wear it out of the house if you don't want to lol. Costumes don't need to be as polished as every day clothing so it's actually more accessible to try than you think!
@@uniquecollective Thank you so much for those encouraging words. I feel inspired to give it a try. I've always wanted to work with tulle so I'm going to 'go for the gusto!'
Woo have fun and best of luck! Let me know how it goes!
@@uniquecollective 👍🏼👍🏼
You are very helpful and supportive to your subscribers. Does your channel accept donations?
Bro can you find a Chinese jacket company by its logo. The company name is jin he chuan qi
It's nice but, it feels like it's inside out.
Omg I should have made it reversible!
It looks great! 👌🏿
Thank youuuu!
Wow. Will subscribe. VEry cool. Keep it up.
Thank you so much and thanks for watching I appreciate it :)
I've noticed you do your patterns free hand, brilliant, if I did that i would make a mess.
Thank you! It's actually not as difficult as it may look. Try it with a really simple piece (like a tshirt) to get the hang of it.
Wow amazing 😍
Thank you so much and thanks for watching :)
@@uniquecollective you are welcome brother 😊
Is this supposed to be a coat for a Nepali sherpa ?
I live in Canada but it'd work anywhere that it's cold haha
This is incredible!! May I ask what site you purchased the Sherpa material???
Aw thank you so much! I got it from joann.com, here is the link: www.joann.com/ca/solid-sherpa-faux-fur-fabric/17763350.html
Thank you!
Bravo ✨👏👏👏
Thank you so much!
Thanks to you for this video of making a Sherpa jacket . 🙂
Excellent job. I'm curious to know what size and type machine needles you used on both your sewing machine and serger for the sherpa fabric.
My memory isn't 100% on the needles I used because I did this a while ago. But here is what I think I remember using: Serger: Baby Lock Vibrant BL460B Needle: Schmetz Universal 90/14 Sewing Machine: Singer Stylist 7258 Needle: Schmetz Denim HAx1 90/14 for the thicker pieces Needle: Schmetz Universal 90/14 for the thinner pieces
@@uniquecollective Thank you so much. The 90/14 needle size info you provided was exactly what I was seeking. Rock on!!!!
@@TaDarling1 Amazing! glad it was helpful :)
Turned out nice!
Thank you :)
Nice ! I’m inspired
Love it! Let me know if you make your own version :)
Love the jacket and it suits you so well!
Aw thank you so much :)
Love the lining fabric! The jacket turned out really nice! I think it’d be pretty dope to actually quilt the lining with the batting and maybe help cut down on the bulk a bit. You’ve inspired me for the lining of the jacket I want to make!
Thank youuu! The lining always gets lots of compliments. Good idea with the batting! It’s very cold here so I don’t mind the extra bulk but I have thought about making a fall version that is smaller/more fitted.
You did an amazing job! The coat looks great!! I am officially a fan and a subscriber...
I'm a big guy (6'5" and 240#s). It's so hard to find these kinds of unique pieces in my size. I don't own a sewing machine. But after years of buying run-of-the-mill clothing at big and tall stores, I think it's time to invest in a sewing machine and learn how to make interesting pieces that fit me. I have a very talented friend who is extremely tall and she can go into a store, look at a dress or a suit, make a few mental notes, then go home, and create the exact same piece so that it fits her. To me, it's like a superpower. I am VERY impressed with what you put together. I want a "teddy bear" coat, such as the one you created. The only thing I have at my house that might help with patterning is a very large bathrobe. But it has the right shape and I think it could be used to create a pattern. I think I live a bit further south than you. I have had a sherpa hoodie that I ended up giving away because it was SO HOT--even in the winter. If I learn how to sew, I think I would omit the batting inside the coat. Thanks for sharing your video--for showing that garments are very complex. It makes me appreciate the work that goes into all of the clothing that I wear.
Oh I couldn't agree more. Sometimes it's just hard to find something that is exactly what you want too. You see like 3 things you like and wish you could combine elements of them into 1. It's really fun making your own stuff, I highly recommend :)
Please please go for it Verm It would be extra good if you were able to make a video. I bet you'd surprised at how many guys would appreciate you!!!!
I'm sorry, you are supposed to sing "Can't Touch This" while doing the Hammer Dance, while wearing these pants.
omg you're so right. Next time!
I'll try making these myself, thank you so much for sharing this!
No problem hope it helps and have fun!
I'm gonna use this as a tutorial! I wanted to buy some harem pants on Amazon, but everything I ordered ended up being fake Chinese garbage made of this weird plastic bag feeling material. Gonna try it with a bit of a thicker, more jogging pants esque fabric.
Yeah the nice thing about making them yourself is choosing a proper fabric that actually gives the look/feel you want. Hope the video helps bring them to life :)
Hola saludos cordiales desde CDMX México,me gusta mucho lo que presentas pero no sé inglés y me gustaría que pusieras subtítulos gracias

Hi! I make my own patterns so they are pretty customized to me. I beliieeevvee I still have it though. I can take a look for it and share it with you if you're interested?
@@uniquecollective if its not too much trouble! I'm trying to make a cosplay and your pants are what I'm looking for style wise
