How to Turn a Plain Skirt into A Romantic Layered Maxi Skirt

- Thrifted skirt, turned into a lovely romantic layered piece of wearable art! This is a rare step by step tutorial showing you how to create a beautiful altered couture skirt, and I did it all on a dime! I start with a thrifted skirt and show you how to build luscious layers with clothing remnants, lace, tablecloths, fringe, fabric flowers, sequins and more. Then...we dye it a beautiful light blue color with Kentucky sky Dyemore fabric dye. Create your own pieces of wearable art (I have tons of tutorials) to wear, give as gifts or sell like I did. Most of all have fun and don't take it to seriously!

I love how the blue took to the fabric at different tones & how unique your boho skirt looks ❤

It looks amazing
This brings good memories, I had skirt like that it was jeans and lace and all my frinds wanted to borrow it for their special occasions.
🤗💖💖💖💖
I LOVE that you show your mistakes and show that it's not an exact science, like "normal" people!!! Thank you!!

Thank you for your careful instruction, yet you moved the instructions along quickly. The finished skirt is exquisite and certainly one of a kind. I would be so proud to wear this skirt. I have started collecting a few items to use . I’m thinking that dying the skirt red would be fun and very much for the holiday season .Later it could be for the Valentine’s season.
Thank you so much! Have fun!!🤗💞💞💞💞
Our Dear Ms. Myers: Wonderful!! Thank you so much for showing us the post-dryer/trim/clean-up portion of the process, and especially for the extended and closer up after-shots. What a great channel you have! 😊
Thank you so much! 🥰💞💞💞
I used to be a professional Christmas tree decorator. I see the similarities . I’m so inspired!

Hey, TH-cam just suggested this video to me. So glad I clicked! This was an excellent tutorial, even for someone who's done a fair bit of upcycling clothing
Same! The bot is favoring you today!
This is giving so much inspiration!
Have you also used the natural fiber dye? Do the fabrics need a mordant before you dye them?
Your ideas are marvelous! Thank you for teaching.
Thank you so so much 🤗💞💞💞💞
Thank you for all you teach us and share.
Your outfits are beautiful- and purses and embellishments!!x
You’ve been doing this for along time-so it’s odd you’d get “pinged “for a copyright thing. Should be the other way around.🙏.
Again-very grateful for all you share!!x
Thank you so so much 🤗💞💞💞💞
Love this skirt ,TALENTED TRACEY 🇦🇺👍🩷

This was a whole EDUCATION!!! 😁
Good God woman! I couldn't love this skirt anymore if you tortured me in an attempt to squeeze more love out of me!!!
It is absolutely GORGEOUS!!! 😍😍😍
I don't know where you've been hiding but I'm glad I found you. I'm definitely subscribing after this. This was literally incredible.
I think my only suggestion would be to tuck the top into the skirt so it's closer to your body, just to highlight your upper and lower body with more definition.
At the moment the top bagging out makes you look bigger than you are and you've got a nice slim waist.
Plus a sleeker looking top would accentuate the skirt even more, rather than detract from it.
But that's not criticism at all, just my opinion. I'm a kind of "either upper or lower body wow factor" kind of person, you know? Big billowy tops with straight jeans, or simple jersey vest tops with billowy skirts.
But hey, you do you! I think we're approximately the same age, and if I had a dinky lil waist still, I'd be highlighting it. You sure do have a lot going for you!!!
You're very attractive, have a lovely figure, very stylish, artistic and make skirts like this masterpiece! 😮
I can't wait to dive into your other videos now! If your inspiration can help me become even a quarter of looking as put-together as you, I'll be a happy woman! 😘😘😘
Awww you are sooo sweet, thank you!!!🤗💞💞💞💞💞
Как я люблю Ваши работы!!!😍
Thank you so much!!🥰💞💞
Thankyou, I am practising all the freying and layering techniques on a run of nostalgic children dresses in linens and cottons. Everything is turning out adoreable and perfect. Im trying to decide if you were once a happy ( or disgruntled) Magnolia Pearl employee, lol.
Hippy dresses like these were sold in the markets in the 80s.
Lol! Never a magnolia pearl employee. Your children's dresses sound ADORABLE!!!🤗💞💞💞💞
@@tmyershandmade978 haha, I've enjoyed imagining you as a disgruntled firmer employee letting the construction cat outa the bag...like the KFC guy who told everyone the secret herbs and spices! ,😅. Thankyou again, I'm learning new techniques. Much appreciated.Love from 🦘 Australia.xox
You are cracking me and my fiance up, I read your messages to him lol!!🤣💞💞💞💞
This is true shabby chic! Love it!
Thank you so much 🤗💖💖💖💖
You are so much fun to watch. You are never moody, always positive, ...and ...that fun translates to BEAUTY!
Awww thank you so much 🤗💕💕💕💕
This is my favorite out of all the projects that you have done. I love them all but by far this is the most beautiful!!! I definitely want to make something like this. Thank you Tracy for all of your inspirations shared with us!!!
💙🤗💙
My pleasure, thank YOU so much for watching!🤗💞💞💞💞
So love the layered skirt and your creativity, so inspiring. I will be trawling the 2nd hand stores and such for material to achieve the same :). Shabby chic, boho? Whatever, it looks soo cool. Thanks for sharing.
Aww love that! Have fun!!!!🤗💖💖💖💖💖
I love it!
I am a bit like you!! But I tend to untrust myself at the middle of my ideas… and quit!😐😕
Is great to listen yo you and see how you start it and finish it!!!

Thank you!🤗💞💞💞💞
Hi Tracy, love this video! I've always wondered where to even begin. My question is about the first ruffled embroidered lace you stitched on. Would it affect the style if you had put two rows of large gathering stitch as a drawstring, then gathered the long lace circular strip before pinning on rather than hand pinning pleats? Just wondering. I studied dress-making, designing & pattern making years ago, but sadly have lacked confidence in myself especially when I see my girls just get into upcycling their own clothes with no former knowledge of dressmaking. Oh if only I had your self confidence my life would be complete😅.
Aww I think you should just dig in and do it! What do you have to lose? As far as the gathering of the ruffle, I have done it that way, for me, it requires being more precise in my my measurements.🤗💕💕💕💕
beautiful
Thank you!!🤗💖💖💖💖
so beautifull 💚🌼🌿
Thank you 🤗💖💖💖💖
wonderful!!!
Thank you!🤗💞💞💞
Just beautiful and one of a kind 😂
Thank you so much!🤗💞💞💞💞💞
Love it!
Thank you so much 🤗💞💞💞
@@tmyershandmade978 You are very welcome.
Well done
🤗💖💖💖
Fabulous
Thank you!!🤗💖💖💖💖
Tracey I’m wondering whether you actually wear your creations. I’ve noticed that in ur wonderful 🙏 videos you tend to dress a bit more plainly ie mainstream. I love seeing you in that gypsy boho style it really suits you . ❤
I don't wear them often, I was a seller and created these mainly to sell. I love the creative artistic process.😊
@roro4major I was wondering the same thing...lol
Cute!
🤗💖💖💖💖
I have come upon your channel and am going to make a boho duster. Though I have this lace that may be Belguim 19th century lace. Two curtain panels and am asking should I go ahead and cut into pieces, can I send you a pic and get your advice
Sure, do you want to send to my email? sctrmcgill@hotmail.com

I have a lot of doilies and lace table clothes left behind to me from my mother. I have recently wondered what I could do with them. I want to make one of these out of them but can't get the courage to cut up these heirlooms from my mother (given to her from her mother). Should I look at it as a treasure that I can make new for myself out of these things that are just sitting in a linen closet in my home and not being used?
Oh gosh, I wouldn't want to push anyone to do something that makes them uncomfortable or possibly regretful. The way I look at it is, they will be tucked away and not seen for years and it's not likely the next generation (when you decide to pass them down) will appreciate or even want them. If you create something beautiful with them, they can be enjoyed now, and think of all the love and hands that went into making your garment.🤗💗💕💗💕💗💕
A delicious skirt that makes me think of ice cream parfait.
Lol thank u!!🤗💖💖💖
Very good
🤗💖💖
me encantaria que el vídeo se explicara en español ¡ que maravilla !!
I think you can turn translation on on your device 🤗💞💞
