Life should be like driving a car! Not all of us were born with a Ferrari, but that doesn't mean we can't pimp out our vehicle and enjoy the ride.
Thank you @erh.germany!

Thank you @erh.germany!
I am a fan of all sorts of pimpings. HaHa :D - I once drove a very old Porsche lend from a friend but it was actually no comfort at all. LOL
off topic, would you like to see my very first youtube video? I made a little test production to acquaint myself wit the editor software and threw in some pics and a short video-sequence of self sewn clothes.
A vintage Porsche sounds fancy, though it's probably more the idea than the actual experience!
Please share! I should be doing more video but can't keep all those plates spinning at once. :)
you bet. Still, it was cool to take a ride with this hell of a machina.
You do filming as well? Do you have a channel?
Here is my test piece. I hope, you like it. I totally messed up a huge editing job with two of my projects. meh. So I decided to do something easy peasy. Otherwise, I'd never have gotten started on yt.
Oh, even if you don't like it, "like" it :D LOL I need a lot of fans now.
That's actually a great video that works well as it explores the materials and the outfits. I enjoyed those classic neo-steampunk outfits. I assume you were the model? They fit you very nicely.
Is it common to wear these types of clothes where you live? Or is it more like an alternative counter-cultural style?
I don't have a Youtube channel and most of my old videos are of the experimental kind that I can't share. :)
Thank you so very much. As I am a newby in filming and editing, I was not sure how it's going to be perceived. But then, you are a special viewer like always when you commented on my vintage and sewing blogs. The vest was actually the most difficult thing to sew and I was surprised that it turned out so well.
HaHa! Yeah, the outfit is nothing anyone would wear here on a daily basis. I never went much with the current fashions but liked my own fitting me out. Though I do not counter the culture but just ignore it. I loved thrifting before it became mainstream (or, I should say it probably will become bigger than it was in the last decades).
I can imagine how you experimented with filming, since you do experiment with new things offering themselves (like AI art, for example).
P.S. yes, I was the model.
It's really great work. You can probably find some amazing stuff in thrift stores and convert them into your own piece. I look forward to seeing more of your experiments with both video and outfits. 💃
Yes, it does give me a sense of accomplishment. So true, thrift stores are to my liking! Not only because it's cheap to shop there but for the very atmosphere of already used things. Brand new things can't compete with the long lasting effect a self made or re-used item gives you when you put your own ideas on it.
Last year, in the middle of summer, I bought a wollen winter coat in the thrift store near my home town. It was a rare find and fit me as if tailored for my body. It's a very classic design and will never get out of fashion. I think it must have been very expensive in the first place and I was more than happy to take it to my collection.
I will probably make some more fashion/vintage blogs to also promote my youtube-channel here on hive. I actually have hundreds of making off pictures and also nice footage from vintage items. Did you see the radio right at the beginning of my video? This was a gift from my brother, years ago. The radio still works.
Though I must say that I find my fashion/vintage blog posts under rated. It pissed me off because I put great care into the design of the posts and the selection and pre-workings on the photographs. All this talk about "quality" but then you put up a quality post and it goes unnoticed.
I can be a diva, sometimes. ... Maybe, I don't fit well enough into the communities. You have to stick to a certain one - I did that with Ink Well for a while but story telling is not the only interest I have. One can be in so many communities but to really engage it takes up a lot of time which I cannot spare when I want to concentrate on sewing.
HaHa! Sorry for the little rant.
