#THRIFTFLIP #DIY - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
Haha! I’m 65 years old BUT I love your videos. I can definitely take your ideas and adjust them to my older body 😂. You make my day. I wish I would’ve started doing this decades ago!! Love sewing and making things mine! Keep it going ❤
I not only love the final products but the music sold me! Thanks for sharing!
Aww thanks so much! I’m glad you like the music 😍
I love how you think of the changes and then make them happen. Thank you for sharing the “mistakes” too. 😄
thanks!
They all turned out great! I love the fabric of number 1 and the colour of number 3, but honestly every outfit turned out super cute! Definitely want to rummage through my wardrobe and find pieces to flip now. 😄 ❤
So clever! I used to have a dress and little top, like the lilac one, back in the '80s, so I loved that flip. But the amazing one was the nightdress - it turned out like a modern Carmen Miranda little combo! And the orange suit looked like landfill, until you worked your magic. But I love the hot flower outfit best.
Thank you so much! the floral one is my absolute favorite too!
You're so talented to be able to adjust clothing, taking things in, reconstructing jackets and linings. I could never do this. You make it look so easy.
Thank you!! It’s definitely taken a lot of pracitce
It’s fun to watch your process. One recommendation is to use an iron and press hems and seams as you go. It adds to the professional look. Keep up the good work.
Thanks! I actually didn’t have an iron, but I’ve been using my hair straightener haha
Great job on all 3 outfits, but my absolute fav is number 2! Beautiful job redesigning!
Thank you so much! I love that piece too!
I love the last two pieces! Adorable!!!
thank you!
You are very talented! Ive been sewing since I was 14 and Im now 61!! Lol. I dont know if you have one, but you should invest in a dress-dummy. Adjust it to your body size and it makes doing alterations so much easier. Also a really good pair of scissors. That makes all the difference. Cant wait to see what you do next!
I do actually have one, but I don’t have to take too many measurements since I know my own already. I definitely need new scissors though haha
Look at you! Love that you take something old and make it so cute!!!! My mom said my grandmother could draw a pattern out on a news paper and make a dress. Wish I had her skills and/or your’s!
thank you so much!! My mom can do that, and she taught me everything I know haha
I want to learn to sew now. That first piece is amazing!! ❤
Thank you!! It’s such a fun skill!
omg cottagecore thrift flips my two fave things
I actually just posted a specifically cottagecore thrift flip video! Lol
yayyyy!!!! i literally just found you but I'm SO glad i did bc u fit all my aesthetics and never fail to make some really adorable stuff!
Love your video! Just a tip to save you some work: if you do a double fold at the hem, there's no need to do a zigzag stitch, since the edge of the fabric will be safely tucked away, so it won't get undone or start fraying ☺️
Thanks for the tip! I actually used the double fold on the hem of the final piece in this video. I switch back and forth between the zig zag and the double fold based on the fabric, some do not fold well or look better with a flatter hem. The zig zag accomplishes the same thing without the bulk. Thanks for watching!
You popped up in my feed this morning. I LOVE your honesty about the process with each piece. We can learn from your experiences.
There's just so much beauty in making mistakes and finding creative ways to solve problems. I love sharing all the parts of creating! Thanks!!
Love the first one 💕💕💕
Thank you!!
You are AMAZING. I LOVE the red dress, turned into the 2 piece crop top and skirt!!!
thank you so much!! Definitely a favorite of mine too!
OMG that flower pattern !!!
Isn't it to DIE FOR?? I love it so much! Thanks for watching!
you inspire me! I just bought a sewing machine, once I get use to making small projects I will thrift and repair, then who knows? I’ll keep watching for more inspiration. Thank you !!
I love making or remaking "stuff" from thrifted clothing. Sometimes it's just a simple alteration. Sometimes I pick the entire garment apart and use the pieces as yardage with a commercial pattern. One of my favorite gifts to give is chef aprons. There are zillions of those 1980s roomy, linen, prairie, "granola" dresses in beautiful prints out there and they make very classy chef aprons. Sometimes you can incorporate existing pockets, button plackets, etc.
One little sewing hint … when you pin a seam before you stitch on the machine, put your pins in with their heads to the right if you pin horizontally and are right handed. OR as I see you put pins in vertically (parallel to the seam), insert your pins with the heads facing you. Placing pins so they are easy to pull out as you sew saves time, saves awkward reaching in across yourself and across the machine, etc. A little thing I learned from a sewing teacher 50 years ago that makes sewing a seam go smoother and quicker for me. Fewer obstacles means more cool projects.
Thanks for the tip, that is actually always my goal, but I usually begin pinning before I think about how i'm going to sew it. So, I end up with pins in weird directions haha Thanks for watching!
Great flip!!! Loved them all.
thank you so much!!
Wow I am blown away by the orange 2-piece. SO CUTE!
YES so good!! thank you so much!!
The suit look is really really cuuute!! XD
thank you!!
Difficult to choose but I think the orange transformation is amazing. But then the chiffon dress.... fabuloso, all of them!
Thank you so much!!
Absolutely love all of these!! With styling the orange one, would look super cute twirh a long sleeve white turtle neck under!
How cute!
the second dress came out AMAZING!!
Thank you! I LOVE that piece!!
This was amazing!!! Do you think you could do a thrift flip basics video? :) For beginners, it would be great to have a list of essential stitches to know, techniques, tools like your seam ripper and button contraption etc etc
Oo that’s a great idea!
Those were absolutely adorable. The 1st one was my favorite, that floral was gorgeous! Great job
thank you! that floral is to die for!
They all came out amazing
Thank you!
Your videos are so fun to watch and you are talented, a joy to watch and inspirational. You should be on Project Runway!,,
thank you! oh my gosh that was my dream growing up!
So good- you’ve transformed those dresses to the next level way up there 🙏🏻😍
Thanks!
You popped up in my feed this morning and I cannot pass up thrift flips. Your dresses turned out amazing. A walking foot would make sewing those more difficult fabrics much easier.
Thanks for the tip! I'm glad you enjoyed the video!
Good to know. Thank you!
Omg you're making ME excited too and I can't even sew :( I'm praying that you have loads of videos for beginners. I adore the first piece with the beautiful, bright floral prints. Plus cerise is my favourite colour along with all shades of pinks and purples too. I ciuid kind of follow no 1 but no 2 was very fast in video and talking. I guess most of your audience can sew already. I wish I had you at my house. I actually know a great seamstress. When lockdown is over, in Ireland, I'm going to get her to go through all my clothes and flip them too. I have loads of brand new clothes but they are too big as, I lost loads of weight, 4 years ago from the shock of my 36byear old brother's sudden death. I never put it back on. Usually, having them taken in was a warre because my weight used to fluctuate a lot. One month I'd be a slim size 12 and the next one, I'd be a chhubbier size 16 or 18!! It was very expensive replacing all the clothes and very annoying too.
Yes, flip ALL the clothes!! Thanks for watching!
This is probably your best thrift-flip video yet! I can’t even choose a favorite this time, they’re all SO. GOOD. 😍
I agree!! It’s definitely my favorite one so far!
That first dress looks really great.
Thank you! Definitely a favorite!
Such cute transformations! You have a talent!
thank you so much!
That dress turned out beautiful
Thank you!
My favorite was the first 2 piece set so cute
YES! Such a good one!!
That skirt suit turned out SO good!
Thank you! Absolutely one of my favorites!
Loving your energy, it makes me want to cut all my clothes 😂
DO👏🏼IT👏🏼 I love a good clothing chop session!
🤣🤣🤣🤣 true story ❤
OMG I thought of the same thing! LOL
Right?🤨❣️
I love watching thrift flips 🥰❤️
They're the most fun!!
Loved both flips!
Thank you so much!!
I absolutely love the first one. I love my two piece sets. Ugh I need to learn how to use a sewing machine. You did so good on all of them!
I’m the biggest fan of two piece sets!! It’s easier than you think! Go for it!
The purple flowy dress was my favorite. You are very talented. I💞
I love that dress! Thank you so much!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE how excited you get! I really enjoy your thrift flips!! You are so creative 😍
Haha I just love clothing and transforming pieces!
You are so cute and sweet and fun to watch. Please don't change. Also, love your style. It's carefree and fun. :)
That’s so sweet! We’re all so unique and lovely and I think fashion should reflect who we are, so I’m glad that was received!! Thank you!!
These all turned out so cute! I have so many thrifted things I've been meaning to flip and I might just finally cut into them now.
Thank you! Oh yeah it takes me a while to actually get around to doing my flips, and then once i do i'm like "why didn't i do this earlier" lol happy flipping!!
Super!
The print in the first one! 😍 So jealous that you found that
it's the BEST print!!!
You are so creative! Love what you did! First one is my favorite but, they are all great!
Thank you so much! I love that first one too!
First is my favorite and was a dress not a nightie. My kind of dress...as I'm 65 and chubby.😊💟
I ABSOLUTELY loved this video! And everything turned out so cute!
Thank you so much!!
You have real vision for such a young lady! Bravo for you!
Thank you so much!
I love the transformations, you did an awesome job!
Thank you so much! I had TONS of fun doing them too!
Oh my gosh! How fun! Amazing expertise with your designing and sewing skills! The floral set is my favorite!
Thank you!! YES, that one is so good!
This was so inspiring! I love vintage clothes, but some of them are too small for me. I'm going to dive in and make some adjustments!
You go!!
I love all your new clothes, you did a great job with all your projects.❤️
Thank you so much!!
I love it. The first one is my favourite. I also have a vintage gown that I think I must "flip".
YES!! Flip everything haha
love them all!!! and oh my gosh the first one is my favvvv SO CUTE 😍
Thank you!! AHH isn’t that one so much fun!!
I loved this video. You're very talented. I've been sewing 45 years and I have a question. Wouldn't it be easier if you put the pins in side to side instead of up and down when sewing on the machine?
probably lol I usually just pin before thinking about which ways the pins need to go and ultimately it gets the job done, so I don't worry about the direction too much haha thanks for watching!
in awe of your sewing skills
Wow thank you so much!!
Just found this on my recommended and I honestly can't complain! I had subscribed before the video was even over, I love your energy and your style, it reminds me so much of my own clothes!
Thank you so much! I'm glad you're enjoying my channel! Welcome to Well-Loved!
Omg! I found you accidentally on my roku and I love love love your sewing courage!!!
Thank you so much!! My mom always taught me that sewing is 80% courage, and 20% skill, and I live that fully in these videos haha
I love what you did to the clothes!! ❤️
Thank you so much!!
Beautiful. No 1 and 2 were amazing flips
thank you!
When I saw that the second piece was sheer fabric + cut on the bias, I was stressed for you. Lol. But you did great!!! It looks awesome. I have a dress that was strapless with a huge ruffle (think flamenco dancer). I got rid of the ruffle and am in the process of installing straps and a little flutter sleeve. It's an oddly similar process to your piece. I feel like I'll come back to this video to look at your technique again 👌🏼 thanks for sharing
Thanks so much! It was definitely a challenge but I love the end result!! Amazing!
Hello- This is my first visit to your channel. If you do thrift flips like this on a regular basis, I'll be back for certain. My favorite was the purple dress. I think the sleeves have just the right amount of puffy. It really fits you nicely.
this video is actually from 2 years ago, and i have posted a monthly thrift flip since i began my channel, so there are already plenty of this kind of video on a playlist on my channel. enjoy!
So much confidence! Great job!
Sewing takes a lot of boldness and I love to just jump in haha thanks for watching!
love the puff sleave dress
always a fan of puff sleeves!
I love that beautiful flower dress
Me too!
I love all of these! Feelings inspired for the next time I can thrift
YAY!! Thanks for watching!
these pieces are SO CUTE!!!
Thank you!! I'm so happy with how all of them turned out!!
You are very talented. I love the second outfit.
Thank you!!
I love all 3 thrift flips!!!
Thank you!! Me too 😍😍
My first time watching your video.
You're very talented! I love thrifting. And enjoy seeing your vision of remaking pieces! I'm hooked.
Thank you so much!
Wow, so amazing. You are very creative. All 3 are gorgeous so I don't really have a favourite. With the first 2 dresses with the extra fabric that you cut off it would make great scrunchies or a headband. Or maybe a scarf for your purse handle. Looking forward to more videos.
I love making little accessories with extra fabric! Thank you so much!!
Love the scarf for purse handle idea!
so cute!! Thrift flips are definitely one of my favorite videos to make too:)
Ugh aren't they just the BEST?! It's so exciting to create something new!
Wow you absolutely smashed it!!
Thank you so much!!
Wow!! You are a whizz at sewing😱 I loved them all!!!! I have made my own clothes......years and years ago😬 But I need to look into getting a sewing machine now! You inspired me💟 Thank you🦋
YAY I'm so glad I could pass a little inspiration your way! How cool to have made your own clothes!!
Wow girl you are so talented. Loved all three flips. Keep up the great videos.
Thank you so much!!
They were all so great when finished great job.
Thank you so much!!
Cute ideas. They turned out great
Thank you!
Beautiful purple dress!!
love how that dress turned out!
Loved all of them. Good job!!
Thank you so much!!
Super cute! Loved these recreations!
Thank you so much!!
First video of yours that I’ve watch - I LOVED it!! I love what you do with thrift store finds. The things you made are adorable!!! Let’s see...I think the outfit I liked most was...maybe the first one (although they were all GREAT!!).
Thank you so much!! The first one was probably my favorite too, but it's hard to choose! haha
The muumuu looks like it
could be a 1970s vintage Hilo Hattie creation made out of a fabric named "whipped cream."
ooo I'll have to check that out!
You gave me a whole new level of energy to finish my halfway done transformations! What a great job, especially with the blazer!!! New subscriber!

The last one. Would love be to see you accesorize your flips in another video. Bottom to top! They were all really cute. I had a skirt like the first but it had a shawl type scarf you tied early 1980's.
Ooh fun idea! They usually show up quite often in my What I Wore videos because I love the pieces so much!!
I like your enthusiasm and how creative you are, I love the three transformations! I am new here but I love your videos, regards from Spain
