Upcycle Pattern Hack - How to upcycle a top into a long sleeve shirt
THANK YOU!! My Jersey is huge(bc it was one of the only ones left) This was helpful 😊
Thank you! And I love that don’t have horrid backing music like so many videos have 🙉
THANK YOU!
Thanks so much, this is exactly what I needed ♡
This video was so helpful! It really gave me an understanding of what exactly is happening with a swayback adjustment. The little paper cutout of the model made it really easy to see the shape and how it works. I've always had issues of excessive fabric pooling at the back and now I know why! Thanks for sharing.
Great video. Love the little demo with the paper mannequin 😊
Thank you so very much! It was so frustrating trying to replace the pull from the top - and took little time and effort doing it from the bottom. (red zipper). I look forward to your other videos.
I was going to ask why you drew the curve the way you did but i guess it was to avoid the point as you said
Thank you so much for this, this helped me fix my wife’s dress the night before she was in a wedding!
You save my motorcycle jacket on a trip!!
Hooray!!
Thank you! You saved me from having to purchase a new carry on before traveling!!
Glad I could help!
You are my hero
I just fixed the zipper on my sleeping bag in a few seconds using your method! Thank you!
Great job!
Thank you. I was stressing about having to throw out my jacket. Now I don’t have to !
You are so welcome!
You are literally a life saver I thought I was going to have to return my knee high converse since it kept opening up whenever I’d zip it up
I'm so glad to hear that! 😊 It's great to know the tips were helpful. Knee-high Converse are so stylish, and it's awesome you can keep rocking them without any issues now. If you ever need more sewing advice or have any other questions, feel free to reach out. Happy sewing and enjoy your Converse! 🥰👟✨
The exact video I needed. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks so much! I had one zipper that wasn't zipping the teeth on my dobkit. Your video was the second one I watched and it fixed my issue.
Glad it helped!
THIS SAVED ME THANK YOU
Hello, I was hoping to see what a puckered seam looks like, and what the reason is that I a top I already have might pucker at the side seams. I thought because the title has the word "fix" that it would say what the problem is and how to alter it. Oh well
Hi! 😊 This was very informative! I'm wondering, if I want to change the zipper slide on a jacket with the zipper top kind of sewn in to the collar, is that possible? I'm sewing a reversible jacket and thought I had a reversible zipper but I didn't. I live in Norway and have to buy the reversible zippers from us/uk so it's not a quickly done thing. I was wondering if I could just use a normal zipper and then change the slide when I've bought a reversible one? If I was able to explain that well enough 😅
Norway! That’s cool. Yes, you should be able to just switch out the slider. Just make sure the zipper you’re sew in looks the same on both sides. You will want to use a molded tooth or metal zipper. Coil zippers lay on the top of the webbing so they don’t look the same on both sides and can’t really reverse. A reversible zipper slider just has a pole on either side or often times the pole can flip over the top of the slider and hang on either side of the zipper. And of course, make sure the zipper gauge is the same so that your slider will fit over the teeth properly. Cheers
Thank you so much, coveralls kept separating and this solved the issue
Thanks now my zipper is broken completely!
Oh man! I’m sorry to hear that. The zipper slider can break if you squeeze it too hard, or it gets bent back-and-forth from squeezing the side separately to much. It can also just be a zipper quality issue. You can replace the slider though without replacing the whole zipper. This is also a no sewing needed process in most garments. Here is a video on that subject: th-cam.com/video/jcrsUA0nPws/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Ei-gsCalkzUKLGj4
Thanks. Some suggestions: speak a little slower and reduce the length of the video. It was a little hard to follow. I was actually looking for a video on how to change the zipper side.
Noted on this! Thanks for your feedback.
I got a dress sent from a boutique where the dress had an error from the manufacturer. One of the dress shoulder droops down and the puff sleeve can’t even hold on it own without falling. I think the elastic was not put in at all.
Your nice soft method getting steps done entices a person to go ahead & try making this wedding veil. Thanks,bet a novice will try!
So nice of you. Let me know how you go.
Do you know if this issue is fixable on a warmup jacket with a nylon shell and polyester interior? I’ve had to wash it a couple times and now the zipper is about as wavy as bacon, but it used to look nice and straight. I’m hoping there’s a fix without having to resew it, because I didn’t originally sew the garment. I have the ability to if needed but I’m a novice and don’t want to ruin the jacket.
I owe you my life, accidentally washed a hand wash only shirt and just about cried. Thank you ❤
I find snipping the seam allowance of the straighter side (centre front) helps to sew round as well.
Thank you so much! My sister gave me a really nice rain jacket 2 weeks before she passed away. Your video helped me fix the jacket that I could never replace!
Always happy to help. 😊
Thanks, I was thinking I would need a new zipper for my old Carhart jacket, but was able to fix it in a few seconds. I will definitely keep this in mind.
Perfect!
Came across this video but the video is no where to be found:/
Omg thank you! My tote with a zipper started refusing to clasp together after a certain part, and this WORKED! It now fully closes and in so happy cuz I've had this bag less than 2 years.
You're welcome!
Thank you, you saved me from throwing out a tent😂
Excellent! Glad I could help!
This video saved me both time (without my jacket) and money, easy fix, took a second and now I don't have to change the zipper!!
Amazing! 😉
Is the process the same with a regular zipper?
Hi towel is very cute but you never said what size the original size of the towel please
Thank you so much ! You saved my favorite jumpsuit 🩷 I’m forever grateful!!
I'm so glad!
This worked so much , I went thrifting and found this nice dc sweater but the zipper was splitting .
Glad it helped!
Chelsea you been very helpful. Just one more question do all decorated vails can stay without a bottom hem, please if you could let me kmow thank you so much❤❤❤❤❤
You can design a veil any way you like. The nice thing about tulle is that it doesn’t fray so you do not need to hem it ever. I’ve made a few emails with no hem and Swarovski crystals sprinkled all over it. Those were beautiful veils. Trust your instinct. What do you think is a nice combination of decorative details?!?
I've had a sweater for 5 years that I haven't been able to zip up... until now. Thank you so much!
Wonderful!
Love your explanations!
Thank you for your feedback! 💖
Thank you for this video! Perfectly explained. Well done
Glad it was helpful!
Hi, can I do gathering stitches and then ease in just like sleeve head?
Amazing. Thanks so much!
You're very welcome!
You did a Wonderful job and very nice just what I needed to know! Thanks!!
You are so welcome! 💖
thank you; your technique saved a patagonia in about 30 seconds. Appreciate it.
I have a two way zipper that was missaligned, both pulls were stuck but several inches apart. I was a ble to free the upper zip. then slide it to the bottom. I am not able to separate the zipper at the bottom now. Sliding both upper and lower zipper puls to the bottom, The teeth seem to be misaligned by 1/16th " and I can't get the pull to slode off the otherside to separate the zipper Any ideas? The pulls are metal and seem to be in good condition.
It can get tricky when you have misalignment between the pulls. If you are going to open it up by sliding them both down to the bottom at one point you’ll have to pull the longer side through the upper zipper pull. That means the teeth won’t be able to be interlocked at all as you will only want the one side with more teeth to be going through the pull when you do this. I would suggest getting the zipper pulls as close together with each other as possible before you try to do this. Since it is a separating zipper. Are you able to take the zipper stopper off the top of the zipper on the side with the square bottom? You do not want to take the zipper stop off the side with the little peg at the bottom If you don’t have to. The goal her is to slide the top zipper pull right up to the top and off the teeth. slide the bottom pull right down to the bottom, and pull the zipper apart so that it opens and you can separate it in two halves again. If the top zipper pole is still on the top of the side with the peg bottom you can now slide it all the way down and totally off the zipper. Now all you need to do is slide the top zipper pull back onto the teeth on the other side and squeeze the zipper stopper back on to the webbing at the top with a pair of pliers. I show you how to remove and squeeze a zipper stop back on in my TH-cam video on how to shorten a zipper. Once both zipper pulls are back on test your zipper to make sure that you can zip and unzip it normally. My guess is that it got offset either because some fabric got zipped into it and more teeth slid through on one side than the other since they weren’t mesh properly with the fabric in the way. Or, that the zipper pulls are a little bit loose and need to be squeeze tighter around the teeth so that it really meshes the teeth together securely. If the teeth are loosey-goosey as they slide through the pull it’s easy for the zipper to get offset. Let me know how it goes! If you’re still having trouble, shoot me an email and we can connect on a zoom call. then I can walk you through the process step-by-step. That might make a fun TH-cam video to if we record it. Cheers
You lost me at PI
Yes it worked thanks
Good to hear 😉
Thank you, that worked like a charm!
Excellent!
