    People (not all but most) don't think about the time, effort and energy that goes into making clothes. And the better looking the garment, the more it takes.
    There's just something telling me that this little Lady is bound for big things in her life.

      Honestly yeah, you're right. I've just started altering my own clothes recently and it's so fun making them fit exactly how I think they compliment me instead of just feeling defeated because the clothes I like make me look fat.

    • @platyadmirer
      @platyadmirer 3 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Honestly when I gained weight I was so unhappy with the blobs that hugged my body everywhere until I got clothes that fit me properly and i actually loved how my body looked more than when I weighed less. Good clothes are such a blessing

  • @pegasusquilts
    @pegasusquilts 5 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Amazing and inspiring! I'm so nervous about making pants that fit, but your method is great! And a thrifted pair as a starting point is so much cheaper than new fabric and a pattern!

  • @MyTaylordCloset

      @loverlyme 5 ปีที่แล้ว +10

      That was me- for the first 18 years of my life. I didn't have any clothes (including school uniforms) that weren't made by me or my mum. I had NO idea what to do when it came to shopping. Mum even made my swimmers and underwear! That would be so embarrassing these days but it USED to be more affordable in the 60s and 70s... before everything was manufactured in China or 3rd world countries. Now it costs more to buy a sewing pattern than to buy the actual clothes!

    • @cherylseybert5669
      @cherylseybert5669 4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      @@loverlyme but you can use a simple pattern multiple times and change it up! And you can find fabric for super cheap! So at the end of the day, I save money and the clothes are high quality!

    Love how all of these turned out! I've been meaning to make a similar style of pants for myself with some fabric a dear friend gave me YEARS ago, but I keep just...not getting around to it. I think this is the year I buckle down and get them done, though. It'll be nice to have them when we get out of the snow and cold here. I think they'd also be REALLY nice to wear when my family takes a trip out to Australia in October, too. Comfy for the long flights to and from, and nice for some days out. OK...maybe I'll look through my stash and make more than one pair!

    In the summer I went thrifting and got a pair of pants for $4. Once the winter came, I realized I didn't like them at all! So, I turned them into skirt which I am now in LOVE with. I've been sewing for about 6 years, but transforming clothes I don't love anymore has never occurred to me before I watched your videos!! I recently thrifted my prom dress (in such good condition you would think it was brand new) for $35. I don't love the shape of the top on my body so I think I'm going to transform it! Time to binge your videos for ideas!

    THat was one beautiful tight narrow hem on the sides of those pants there I can see your brain has really developed your eye hand coordination to a very fine level! I was a uni psychology prof. before I retired and love watching peope's skills develop...if people stick with something they like they get better and better at it....love seeing your skills grow...certainly YOUR sewing skills are beyond mine now and I have been a hobby sewer for decades (just not consistently because I sailed on a liveaboard sailboat for a decade which made sewing by machine pretty impossible at anchor). THere is a theory that it takes 1,000 hours of practice to get one's skills up to an excellent level, whatever the activity (golf, tennis sewing , reading, studying programming, whatever........your brain justs does any activity better and better with practice. So follow your passions whatever they are....keep at it and you can do amazing things as you amply demonstrate already!
