    I love the black dress! Your thrift flips are really great. So often you see people 'upcycling' clothing but then just cutting up something that was very unique into something flimsy and generic, but you really just make cool pieces into other cool or just better fitting pieces. No downcycling here!

      Right?? Some people really think whipping out a pair of scissors then not hemming anything is an improvement.

  • @ym_yongmai
    @ym_yongmai ปีที่แล้ว +71

    I love how the changes felt small (most of them) but they made such a big difference.
    I’m not a big fan of seeing all of the afters at the end, I’d rather see them right away after each item is being done because my impatient ass can’t wait that long haha😅

    • @sarahkinsey5434
      @sarahkinsey5434 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      It's more altering/tailoring than what I think of as upcycling

  • @Cass63450
    @Cass63450 ปีที่แล้ว +42

    Oh, and you asked for ideas for the leopard fabric scraps: You could make little bows or similar elements to attach to the top of the pearl earrings. This should look cute on its own and killer together with one of the leopard tops.

    • @lauramc1622
      @lauramc1622 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Or just hair bows!

    • @abigailw4599
      @abigailw4599 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes or a scrunchie! I prefer hair bows but I've seen a lot of people make matching scrunchies. If it were me I'd use a square or triangle piece of the fabric as a hair scarf!

  • @Mintshake_bunny
    @Mintshake_bunny ปีที่แล้ว +30

    Oh no no, Hamtaro should not retire, it's the cutest little detail~
    I think my favourite is the prom dress, you totally brought it into this century and it looks fabulous! Oh and yes from me for bringing in the waist on the black dress^^

  • @isabellerickards5919
    @isabellerickards5919 ปีที่แล้ว +11

    Listen, I was very unsure about that blue 80s dress but girl you changed my mind after you altered it 💖 the fur collar also completely elevated that tan coat and I loveee it

  • @sydney9011
    @sydney9011 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    That 80's dress would look so cool with a casual turtleneck layered underneath!!

  • @KathleenIllustrated

    mr. hamtaro, i promise you that not all kathleens believe you've reached the end of your reign. FOUR MORE YEARS! FOUR MORE YEARS!

  • @Don-hg8cm
    @Don-hg8cm ปีที่แล้ว +4

    I think from the leftover material you should make a matching bandana/headscarf! It would be really cute

  • @meabhw3456
    @meabhw3456 ปีที่แล้ว +31

    Wow I honestly wasn't sure about the 80's dress in the before but the transformation was insane!! It's so pretty and youthful now! Congrats on 10k you definitely deserve it ✨

  • @kendra555
    @kendra555 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    your thrift flips are always so good!!!!! the scraps from the cheetah dress might make cute hair ribbons🤔

  • @alisastevens2508
    @alisastevens2508 ปีที่แล้ว +14

    Things would just not be the same without little hamtaro. Long live the kind 😂 Thanks for sharing these flips - they look amazing 💗

  • @buffienguyen
    @buffienguyen ปีที่แล้ว +1

    please don't feel embarrassed, many of us have a pile of clothes that would take max 30 min per piece to mend/flip that have been sitting there for a while (2 years) 🥲
    also you're my comfort channel fixation right now that I go to when I don't know what to watch or when nothing feels good

  • @annabuchowiecka9630
    @annabuchowiecka9630 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    I really like your channel and your flips - as someone without a lot of interest in making detailed plans, and without sewing skills, I do appreciate your intuitive approach and simple solutions much more than detailed tutorials. Thank you 🙃

  • @madeleineclement2764
    @madeleineclement2764 ปีที่แล้ว +12

    Love it ! for that black dress, since you were talking about versatile clothing, you could just add two safety fin to the sides of the waistband, tread a ruban through them to cinch it in and then nod it at the back ! I've seen a couple of those diys on TikTok, they're really easy and reversible

  • @aneirys
    @aneirys ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Love the prom dress transformation! And hamtaro is so cute, we love him 💕

  • @sydney9011
    @sydney9011 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    If you want a small sewing project, scrunchies are fun and easy!

  • @lauraevelyn4623
    @lauraevelyn4623 ปีที่แล้ว

    Please do NOT retire Hamtaro, I love him so much 🥹❤
    Also great tips, I have zero experience with sewing but these flips seem so easy I might even try!!

  • @meganrumpelt6713
    @meganrumpelt6713 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    The black babydoll dress looks great. If it’s not stretchy but you still want a more fitted waist maybe you can sew some ties on the waist to tie behind your back?

  • @qwertydeluxe
    @qwertydeluxe ปีที่แล้ว

    Round-nose pliers are one of the best crafting tools! You'll be able to have fine-tuned control of all sorts of projects.
    & thank you for uplifting the humble safety pin 🧷

    @brittanydebaisieux6301 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I loved the jacket fur flip. It expands your wardrobe with just a tweak :)
    Also, I think you should make a scrunchie with the left over leopard fabric.

  • @Mintshake_bunny
    @Mintshake_bunny ปีที่แล้ว +1

    If the loops on the earrings ever bother you too much, a ribbon tied into a bow on top would look cute.

  • @cinnamongirrl1705
    @cinnamongirrl1705 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

    The prom dress is awesome. The leopard top I prefer the first one.

  • @ddoodah
    @ddoodah ปีที่แล้ว

    You should make scrunchies with the leftover fabric! They're super simple and I bet that there are thousands if not millions of tutorials on yt... Love your channel btww

  • @samantharose1001
    @samantharose1001 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hamtaro is the winner 😂🧡 and should def stay!!! Loved seeing these flips. I think I prefer the tank of the leopard print, but that’s me projecting my anxiety about strapless tops haha. This isn’t a flip, but I was super proud of myself for finally taking my fave jeans into the tailor to get a new zipper (something I’d put off for over a year) and I love having them in my wardrobe again.

  • @KristinMoran
    @KristinMoran ปีที่แล้ว

    I think the prom dress would look even better with some tulle in the bubble to give it volume.

  • @iidakaskimies333
    @iidakaskimies333 ปีที่แล้ว

    for small scraps of fabric, you can do scrunchies, headbands or hairbows! if that's your style :)

  • @TheTbear103
    @TheTbear103 ปีที่แล้ว

    These turned out super! I really like the faux fur collar to the coat! Of course i like the black dress on you. Just more waist emphasis, is my preference. I actually wore baby doll dresses in the 90s, & someone thought i was pregnant, when i was NOT. I want the skirt! Nice leopard print tops & earrings. I wore a bubble prom dress in the late 80s, so nope on that for me. It looks grand on you!

  • @miasophiesworld68

  • @Cass63450
    @Cass63450 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Soooo excited for your styling ideas for the princess dress and the colorful skirt. I immediately had to think of your layering video, like, putting a second, longer skirt or even dress under the 80ies dress.
    Very inspiring, again!

  • @80apocryphal13
    @80apocryphal13 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Congrats on 10k! My favorite was probably the tube top- it just seems like it'll become a really practical layering piece.
    Def keep Hamtaro, he's a cutie.

  • @michelleeckhardt7422
    @michelleeckhardt7422 ปีที่แล้ว

    You could use the remaining fabric from the leopard dress to make it into a belt or something. I think it would look really good to wear any of the two tops with a cute pair of jeans and then the matching belt.

  • @mariaserrarosales2694
    @mariaserrarosales2694 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    I discovered your channel like two days ago with the layering video and i've watched like ten videos and i'm absolutely obsessed with your style!!!❤️❤️

  • @eddyviolet9422
    @eddyviolet9422 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I make jewelry and I love the earrings! So simple but it would be a great way to show off the beads and they're such an elegant shape!
    Small fabric scraps would be great for making scrunchies (big or small) or a headband. Or you can make tiny bags like for storing jewelry or other small items

  • @jasusstories
    @jasusstories ปีที่แล้ว

    the clip on earring to necklace hack is so smart!!!

  • @anonymousme8294
    @anonymousme8294 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    These are so cute! If you would want the black dress to fit your waist somehow, I think that it would be a good idea to add like an inch wide of fabric ( idk what it is called ) but like a long fabric attached to the sides of the waist, the you can tie it to have a fitted look

  • @Me-jb9wm
    @Me-jb9wm 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

    You should make a scrunchie using the scrap fabric from the dress turned into two tops!

  • @MetjeB
    @MetjeB ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I think that the second project is supposed to be a dress because i also have something like that but it ended up cute 😍

  • @karengrohs4942
    @karengrohs4942 ปีที่แล้ว

    I love that black dress, but I would take in the waist a bit. I like the leopard top with straps best. And I love the fur on the coat.

    Safety pins are so OP. I have a lace collar necklace thing that sucks as a necklace, but I safety pinned it to a beret and that works so perfectly 🥰

  • @happytofu5
    @happytofu5 ปีที่แล้ว

    I recently started made a small handbag / belt bag with leftover fabric from a dress to skirt thriftflip. Its not done yet, but I think having a bag that fits the skirt (or top) would be really cool. Alternatively, you could make a scrunchy or other hair accessoire, or even a belt that fits with your top. Depending on how much fabric you have left over.

  • @domado2011
    @domado2011 ปีที่แล้ว

    I love what you've done, you make it look so easy! On the black dress, as I was watching your before and after I was thinking "I would take the waist in a little" just before you said it on the video. And although I can't wear tube tops myself because I cannot go without a bra and have never found a strapless that actually holds my girls up, I love the two tops you made out of the dress!

    Black dress just needs a belt or ribbon ties at the waist. Then you have options.

    I also have a huge pile of clothing to be altered and this was very inspirational - I’m happy I found your channel!! I love the black dress and would vote for bringing the waist in! Also I like leopard print top B, but I think A would look even cuter if you maybe tapered the edges a little bit so it’s more fitted and the bottom hem doesn’t flare out. Also, hello from a fellow Wisconsinite transplant to DC! 💛

    I love that you just go for it and don’t overcomplicate the process with any of these- very brave and inspiring!! ❤😊
    I highly recommend jewelry pliers that have a “smooth jaw”- couldn’t see if yours had teeth (ridges on the inside of the metal that grip), but a lot of “toolbox” pliers have them, and they leave unwanted dents in the metal jewelry components. You can get jewelry pliers with teeth, but for these reasons, a pair with a smooth jaw is the way to go imo 👌😊

    I would’ve change the neckline on that blue dress and tame the Puffy sleeves down a bit to cute dress but I don’t like the neckline I think it’s too high the one that you compared it with that had a better neckline straight across would look way better and you could even make that into a two piece instead of keeping it a one piece

    I liked the tranformation but the ombre effect of the pinkish violet to blue in the bottom got taken away and hence the before looks better to me🥲
