I love to create! Especially when I can upcycle clothing and fabrics. I get so much satisfaction out of saving clothing from landfill. ❤️
I'm not an expert in anything I do but hope I will attract like minded people trying to do the same things as me. If not doing the same things as me, maybe you enjoy watching people create, as I do, it's fascinating.

After being given a large bag of clothes by my daughter I found a few of them needed altering to fit me. Thankfully I have the knowledge to at least attempt this. They worked out well so I'm showing how I did it.

Brilliant Jan , I like doing the double basting stitch, it lays much flatter and nicer , but having said that it's quieter doing one for my dolls clothes 🤣xx
I'm catching up on a lot of videos ,great job Jan I was just thinking of making some rag dolls 🤔 I know a lot of hard work goes into making stuffed animals or dolls so you have done well xx
I hate doing things for other peop,e ,like you I get to stressed out lol ,you done well they look beautiful x
Great dresses!
❤❤❤❤
Hi Jan what beautiful fabric the navy it will make a lovely dress.Nice dresses from your daughter great alterations.Happy sewing 🧵 x
Thank you Morfudd❤
I like the white against the purple. It kinda makes the frilly patterns pop more.
The dresses are so simple and cute - perfect sun dresses! Matching stripes and patterns freaks me out though. In my OCD mind, everything has to line up even if it isn't visible. That's probably why I stick to solids. I love the tops too - especially (my favourite) the blue blouse with daisies! Such a clever and stylish upcycling insert design. Nobody would ever guess that the blouse was altered! Awesome job! I enjoy the sewing videos so much! You inspire me! Thanks Jan!
😊 Hi Renée thank you ❤ It has taken me a while to wear mixed patterns but it does very often work.
I love the mindless picking. I usually do it in the evenings while listening to podcasts. If I have nothing to unpick, I do all my hand stitching and embroidery instead.
Yes, keeping the hands and mind busy! ❤
What a pretty dress! I think I might use the extra fabric to make some short 'butterfly' sleeves
Not a bad idea actually, I was thinking sleeves of some sort, especially to cover up my fat arms 🤣
It feels so good to get a task done that you've been putting off. I like the red fabric.
Well done!
Hi Jan well that’s a lot of sewing well done it all looked very neat the chair looked very nice x
Bonne fête nationale! Joyeux quatorze juillet! Vive la France! (nothing to do with the content of your video - it's Bastille Day)
Bonne Fête et you aussi! It is also Duncan's birthday 🎂🎈
@@FOPYUpcycle I should have remembered! Happy Birthday, Duncan!🎂🎂🎈🎈🎈🍻🍻
Duncan said Merci!
Beautiful Jan, a job well done.
Thank you! 😊
Wow. You are definitely a dedicated professional sewer who is good to her friends! I've made countless cushion covers (with mix 'n match fabrics repurposed from other stuff) and completed several reupholstery projects in my RVs over the years. I always used the great and easy 'envelope' hack to sew covers. In my messy life, everything must be removable and washable! Mind you, I was sewing for myself/family...no pressure, no stress. Brava for volunteering your time and talent. The end result was fantastic! The chair looked so mid-century modern.
Thank you, yes they are! ❤️
What a nice surprise!!! I didn't expect a Saturday afternoon craft video! Thank you!
He’s great, the colours look perfect, I use the pillow inner to stuff with . Xxxx🐝🐝🐝🐝🐰🐰
He is going to be a well-loved companion! Awesome job!
He looks like a 'Raggedy' Rabbit. I'm sure he is going to make some little kid, very, very happy!
You are wearing the lovely blouse you upcycled, designed and sewed! It looks beautiful!
Thank you Renée ❤
Just look at him!!! What an adorable stuffy!
YAY! A crafting video!
Love your content
Thank you Deborah, sorry for the delay in responding. I've had a lot going on 🤯❤️
I wonder if either of you have had or considered going for allergy shots? They really do work. ❤
Oooo not heard of those Chrissy. Thanks for your comment ❤️
Brilliant Jan, your so good at this well done . Hope the hayfever is easing might be all the dust from the convent haa .
Thanks Susan ❤️
Well done Jan, always amazed at what you create as I can barely sew a straight line. Hope Duncan is feeling better soon. 😘
Thanks Becky ❤️
Nice transformation Jan
Thanks Morfudd ❤️
The redesign of the men's shirt is really, really cute! You did a fantastic job. For an upcycling project, the refashioned top is quite original and very summery and Boho. Can you 'refashion' (tailor) Duncan's jumper too? After all the work and time you put into knitting, it would be a shame to repurpose it. Great video - inspirational as usual!
I'm still pondering about the jumper 🤔 Thanks Renée ❤️
Hi Jan love the transformation of the shirt your so creative the lace idea is nice think it maybe abit to much if you were to do the sleeves in lace as well just my thoughts . Brilliant though . Love the Hare idea cant wait to see him finished .
Thanks for adding the pictures so we could follow the steps. I love this lady’s work, I’ve seen her at a few local shows and she has amazing stock……I was utterly blown away by a dress she made 😍😍😍
Great idea, I love up-cycling where I can. You’ve inspired me to get out my old machine and actually learn how to sew, straight lines are my nemesis. Can’t wait to see the finished hare, already loving his ears 😍
Ok, now. So, what is the end goal of this exercise--besides two worn-down vertebrae??
Love your thought process.I make things on a tiny budget so it’s good to see like minded people.xx🐝🐝
Thanks for watching ❤😊
Your new blouse is so cute! What a nice design and such a practical upcycle project. I'm glad you decided to remove the pocket. I love the Hare. I can't wait to see it stuffed and assembled. I made something similar a few years ago. To make him sit up properly, I made a 'hidden' stand that supported him from behind. It was constructed from fabric-covered, bendable, pipe cleaners. The little soap pouch is brilliant! Thanks for the idea!
Thanks Renée ❤️ I just hope mine looks like a hare at the end of it 😂😘
Hi Jan great transformation of the shirt I have one here so I might have a try and see what I can make looking forward to seeing the hare xx
Thanks Morfudd❤ Good Luck with your shirt, there are so many ideas out there, I keep taking screenshots and saving them for future makes. 😊
Like to see the shirt on you.
I know, I was being lazy, I will get Duncan to take a photo when I put it on and show you all 😊
You’re such an eco warrior!
Hi Jan your very good at this. cant wait for the fashion show of all your up cycling clothes well done .
Jan you know how much I love the sewing videos, thank you everything looks great , I'm still not very good with my serger I have tried everything in the book and still the stitches come out loose ,thank you once again for a great video x
Hi Jan Wow great video very pretty blouses jumper and table matts all without spending any money Fabulous now going to look in my wardrobe to see if there is anything to revamp.xx
Thank you Morfudd ❤️ Let us know if you find anything. 😊
Lovely Jan. You are a star.
What a gorgeous eyelet blouse! Did the washable marker actually wash out? Nevermind. You answered my question. LOL! Great video! Very inspirational! Thanks Jan!
😂❤
It looks really good Jan, plus these things are so handy to have on an armchair or end of sofa anyway for remotes and phones etc. I do hope Sharon liked it, I'm sure she was chuffed. Thank you for sharing and take care 💕🇦🇺
So interesting. Just wish all had been in the camera frame.
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the Christmas tree t-shirt! If you had a merchandise store, that creation would be a bestseller! The armchair caddy is a very clever design. Pretty and very practical. Jan, have you considered selling your patterns online? Thanks for the 'tutorial'. The sewing/crafting videos are so much fun!
Hi Renée, glad you like the t shirt, I'm really pleased with it. Regarding patterns I'm not sure it's a good idea, with projects like this weeks one, I don't always make a pattern I just wing it really. I did offer a pattern early on on TH-cam but no one was interested to be honest. So many people offer free PDF patterns too these days. I also get a lot of my ideas from other creators projects, I like to tweek them to make it mine. That's why I don't claim to show how to make something just how I've made it, I'm not professional. 😊❤
I love my present & it permanently sits on the arm of my sofa!
Very practical gift I will keep this in mind for future projects hopefully this next week I’m going to cut out a dress for myself wish me luck not done such a big project before x
Hi Morfudd, great! Let me know how it goes, maybe send a photo 🤞🍀
Hi Morfudd, how did you get on with the dress?
@@FOPYUpcycle I’m on with it now have invested in a overlocker its amazing took me over an hour to thread it will send a photo of the finished garment xx
Sounds a great idea, but as often happens things beyond our control take over. I wondered why I didn't spot you at the Pethericks on the few video shots I saw. You never know if you get invited to a party that you need a costume for, you have one ready now. Thank you Jan, stay well 💕🇦🇺
👍👍
Oh, I am so sorry you weren't well enough to go to the party. I watched a couple of the Halloween videos (Pethericks & the Moons). I think your Cruella costume would have been perfect!
