Want to see more "scrappy happy" ? :) here is another episode of this series - th-cam.com/video/2l0r4EL5r-s/w-d-xo.html
On the palm print, how about “Stay calm” or Stay Palm”?
Omg, that's so cute!!!
You are my friend. Love from New Zealand. Love your spark.😊
I love this!
For me sewing with scraps or upcycling unloved garments is much easier than sewing with new fabric because if I fail it didn't cost any money and I learn so much every time. New fabric overwhelms me because I feel pressured to make something that is perfect.
When I started sewing at the age of 13 I used scraps from my sister's sewing projects and old clothes and
I just played with them. I recommend everyone to try that and to let their kids try that, too.
Loved all your creations unique to you ,your enthusiasm is inspiring thankyou
Oh my gosh I love scrappy happy❤❤❤the last tee is my favorite 😍 you R amazing ❤
Wow Alisa, this is the best of all the scrap fabric videos you have done so far. Super creative. Tons of inspirations. Thank you so much.
I'm so glad!
You are definitely the scrap-master. 😊 Awesomely, inspiring.
All are looking fun, but the one with the wave pattern is super cute..
I loved each and every t-shirt.
Thank you so much, Ruby!
Clever & creative use of scraps.🎉
I find creating from leftover fabric is so satisfying. I love all four of today's makes. You have given me an idea for a print panel I bought and never used so thanks for that too!
Oh yes, that's good thinking about knit panels, now you have given me an idea :)
All the T-shirts are beatiful!
I liked all of the shirts but was especially impressed by the shirt with the 3 horizontal bands; superb! (And very flattering, also)!
I am going to try that one, for sure!
Keep the scrappy videos coming.
Love videos about T-shirt make overs and recycling. Good job with these.
Glad you like them!
Your eye 👁️ for color is amazing every time ❤❤❤
love the A-symmetrical look
5:33- 🤩 Wow! Super awesome idea! You are amazing! Love this :)
Loving the scrappy series!
I saw the TH-cam plaque and thought great, she has 50,000 subscribers. Let me see how many she has now. 260,000! Congratulations! I like the black with black stripe t-shirt the best.
Great ideas and very simple to put together. Excellent video.
I love these ideas. I think your solution for the sleeve was perfect. Because it shows how you can make the smallest scraps work. Cotton Lycra is my favorite fabric. I always have loads of scraps. It is too pricey to let any of it go to waste. Thanks!
You're so right, Irene, about using even the smallest parts of the fabric and yesssssss.... good cotton lycra can be pricey, so no way I am letting any of that go :D
Love them all but my favorite is the pink one with the spots.
Wow! I Love your ideas! Lovely greetings from Germany, Andrea!
Cute tops,great use of small bits of fabric.
Great garments. Love them all!!!!
Love that wave colorblocked tee! Thank you for the idea
What a clever use of scraps! Such great ideas and they looked great. Thank you for the inspiration…. I will be taking a look at my bag of stretchy scraps now.
Love your videos. You are so full of positive ideas.
All the tshirts are very nice!
wicvckeed cute, dear friend!
wicked 😇LOL child on my lap
@@10mileroadie he he, all so familiar, happens to me a lot :)
I like the black and stripes.
The rose one is my favourite but all of them are bautiful!
You are the queen of the T-shirts!❤🤩👏👏
These t shirts look really awesome. I love your creativity Alisa. Have a lovely weekend 💗
Awww, thank you so much, Pavla! I am so glad you enjoyed, and I hope you got plenty ideas :) have a wonderful weekend!
Another fantastic and encouraging video. Thank you!
where's the SUPER like button? LOVE all the shirts you made, amazing!!!!
I love your scrap busting videos (not that there was anything wrong with the pattern drafting ones!). A wee idea to build on top of the one with a large rectangle block in the middle: make it a patch and even have it fray/roll a bit on purpose. Could be a nice, grungy vibe :) That wave t-shirt is amazing! Many would probably go for dolmen sleeve to make their life easier, but not you :)
he he :) oh yea, the patch would work if you have enough for a full front pattern piece, but in this case it works since you can use up small fabric scraps to "build out" the front pattern piece around that rectangle. I do patches/applique on my daughter's t-shirts a lot (mostly to cover stains, lol). Ah, you read my mind, I would go for a dolman sleeve for the wave one, but I did not have enough width of the black knit because I cut it out from the existing t-shirt with logos, and the t-shirt was my actual size, so I could not cut out the dolman sleeve, aggrgrgr :D
@@ThoughtfulCreativity ah, right I forgot you were working with a rtw tee! BTW a patch could be a good idea to cover logos up 😜
Great ideas Alisa! I think it's time for me to use up all those scraps I've acquired over the past few years.
I zoo love the way you create. It inspires me so much. To me it is no rules just have fun, and that is what makes me happy. I started my sewing with cutting apart a favorite longsleved t-shirt into small pieces and then like two more and putting them back together. I love that top. even if i made some misstakes.
You are so clever, thank you for sharing your videos. 💐
LOVE your hacked t-shirts! In my humble opinion, you exceeded yourself with all three! In my mind, I'm seeing a t-shirt made in three shades of white. I'll know the colors when I get them. You inspire me & I sincerely appreciate what you do in your videos. THANK YOU, ALISA❤
Absolutely love all of your color blocking ideas and results! You inspired me to sew many color blocked shirts myself and they usually end up being the most fun projects! :)
The wave one as well as the striped last one are definitely on a mental bookmark - might make something similar in the future :)
So creative and cute! I love all of your scrappy T-shirt designs!
Cute ideas. Thank you for sharing these.
Thank you very much! This was so helpful! Also helpful, was the k-pop sounding music! LOL! :)
Ha ha, lol, was that K-pop? I have no idea, I just like the beat, lol, cheery and fun :)
@@ThoughtfulCreativity It was not originally k-pop but they were some kind of remake of a very popular k-pop drama's music! No joke! I think the name was Heirs with Lee Min Ho. A very PG yet grown up drama series. See if you can find it.......even if it just a couple of episodes......it will lighten up your heart especially toward the end! Good ending!
Boys over Flowers is the correct title!
Love the black and stripe
Me too ... me too.
Yay! I just bought some fat quarters and have been thinking about what I can sew from them. Thank you for your creativity!
Oh, yes, in the same series I have a linen shirt made from fabric scraps - you might like that one for your fat quarters and then at the end of this video I left a link for 6 scrappy projects for home - good ideas for your fat quarters :)
Love all of them, you are very talented!
Cute!!
I like all of them but I really love the last two.
Thank you ❤
I love this idea. At first I was thinking this isn't for me until I started watching how easy it is to play with the material. This has inspired me to try using scraps that I would otherwise have never thought about. My favorite 2 are the lemon shirt and the three different colors. Thank you for pushing me out side my comfort zone. I just love your enthusiasm.
Ooohhh... how I love this video! You keep amazing me what a good designer you are. I'm more of a copycat of your designs... I hope you don't mind. All the projects in this video are impressive, especially the wave-so beautiful! Thank you very much for sharing.
This is a very nice scrap fabric combination project! The first one you made is kind of the same as the t-shirts I combined to make a shirt. i don't like the prints so I combined them by cutting a rectangle in the yellow shirt and I cut a black rectangle, sew it in the yellow shirt and added randomly placed yellow strips on top of the black rectangle. I hand-sewn it and I still wear it often for 4 years! Upcycling is really fun!
I love the swoop tee the best, I think continuing it under the arm is very clever. The blush shows up well on the triple scrap tee. I would like it better if the bottom was black, the white is too much contrast for me, it draws my eye rather than blends. However, in the white tee with the square the pops of white in the pattern are what makes it so successful. I am very impressed and inspired by them all.
Amazing what you can come up with...❤
Fantastic ideas for unusual clothing:)
I am obsessed with this! I especially live the combination of black and white! ❤
ooooh, I love your scrappy-happy makes, too, that linen dress was great!
Beautiful and creative as usual !! I've been sewing for more years than you've been alive and you're teaching me things, thank you
Thank you, Mary, for watching and being here, happy sewing to you!
I love all of the ideas but especially the last 2. Super cute! Thanks for another great video! I really love your channel❤
Wow, thanks for inspiring me, have alotta knit, jersey scraps. Will give it a try😊
10:36 this wave t-shirt has vibes of a wrap top. Just love it ❤
Oooh, good thinking I did not even think of it that way, could create a fun double mock wrap top.
So stellar and inspiring as usual!! Love the second striped top especially. Great tip about straightening the side seams. I LOVE horizontal stripes and hope to create with them a lot ☺️☺️
Horizontal stripes are fun, can be a bit challenging at times, but fun :)
Fantastic creations. ❤
I've actually been thinking about just cutting out a ton of squares out of my scraps and then just patch working them together and maybe making a patch worked dress or something.
These came out really cool!
Loveeee the black and white striped version!
I loved how you saw the pink stripe was too wide. I wouldn’t have thought about that, but it looked so much better!
Love your scrappy t-shirts! You always have amazing ideas. I look forward to your videos each week and you never fail to inspire me!
Rimmy, thank you for tuning in every week, I am so happy that you get lots of ideas and inspiration from these videos, that's the best thing that I can hope for :)
Once I start watching I find it hard to stop. So inspiring.
Great job. I love all of your new t-shirts. Thanks for sharing your sewing talents.
Thank you so much, June!
Those were awesome, favorite is asymmetrical curvy line; the right sleeve should have shown more of the stripe ,maybe about halfway up the sleeve arm, and the 3 different color patterns was also wonderful liked that very much. Asymmetrical patterns would be great, lot of potential for different contrasting patterns. Thank you very much. Enjoyed this video.rab.
Hi Alisa. Great t-shirts! A friend of mind will make panties using smaller pieces of t-shirt weight knit fabric. I thought that was an amazingly creative idea for knit scraps. Really enjoying your channel!
Hello Alisa 😊 they all are super cute. My favourite is the white with the rayon in the middle block. It has endless possibilities. It reminds me again of that book “Something from Nothing”. Have a great weekend. 🥰
Christine, we were just reading yesterday the "Crafty llama" and thought of You! Hope you are doing well, big hugs!
I so love the yellow. 😊
You are an inspiration and your happy personality is contagious. 🥰
I just love the fabric you chose for the white knit. So cute!
Thank you! 😊I think those little white flowers help tie it all together.
Very nice. Great ideas
Really nice! I can’t wait to try it.
Love all of these!!!
Love this. I haven't sewn in a long long time. But one day I hope to get back to it. Love the last one with the pink and white the best. You are so talented. Thank you for sharing your gift with the world.
Liss, I hope you get a chance to get back to sewing, I find that hand-sewing is very relaxing and does not require pulling out a sewing machine and other tools, so it can be an "on the go" hobby. In the meantime - thank you for watching :)
I’d have to say my favorites are the black spotted, pink and white and, the lemon shirt. Super cute!😊
Love this video! So creative and fun. Possibilities are endless!
Thanks so much! 😊
Alisa!!!! You are so smart. Just where do these wonderful ideas come from?
Question... do you wake up in the middle of the night with an idea for us?
Love your videos.
I love it very beautifull
Great designs👍💐
These are so fun! Thanks for the inspiration.❤
I love the t shirt you're wearing which I presume you made too?!!!
Yes, you are right and the drafting/sewing tutorial for it is one the channel, made it like 2-3 years ago :)
@@ThoughtfulCreativity I'll have to look that up obviously! I love all of your videos, you spark our imagination and are such fun. You make the self drafting not scary to have a go at!
Super nice
Bravo! It's very beautiful 😍
This is so lovely! I don't usually buy knits so I haven't got scraps. What I do have is a ton of tshirts from the thrift shop in all sorts of colours (fill a shopping bag for $1 😊) I'll use them and see what happens. Thanks so much for the inspiration!
Totally worth the effort! Cute results!🎉🎉🎉
Cute
very nice
Being creative is so fun!❤
That's the key! Creativity and experimenting has this power of giving you the freedom to create and try new things! :)
I know what's easier put the pattern fabric on a t-shirt you already have😊. Or make a t-shirt then add the fabric on top. Easy as pie.
Yes, you can do that as well, and I do that with applique, usually with hearts, but the point of this is to use up fabric scraps, like in the case of yellow knit - I had enough for the panels, but not enough to cut full pattern pieces so arranging the panels around a rectangle works out better than what you suggested, when with talk about using up scraps.
All five are very unusual, one of a kind, good looking T-shirts. They fit you; and, they look very good on you. Are you going to make your little girl any Happy Scrappy T-shirts? I'm trying to make up my mind what to do with six T-shirts that don't fit me very well; and, I don't want to be seen wearing them because of the logos on them.
Gorgeous tshirts and very pretty ideas. Do you have a link for your ironing mat? Thank you
Hi Alisa, thank you for sharing amazing sewing ideas. Can I please request for a formal wear blouse design which can be worn with skirts ❤
Already have it on a channel, more than one :) I have a romantic blouse with neck tie and long sleeves and butterfly sleeve blouse and a button up shirt/blouse and many others :)
th-cam.com/video/NYS_TJ2vK1Y/w-d-xo.html - romantic blouse with ties and long sleeves
Gotta ask... Are you on a Lazy Susan? I do like the combo of fabrics. One of my favorite tees combines a galaxy print and a math print!
Ha ha, took me a minute to understand what you mean by Lazy Susan and then when I got it I was laughing so hard :) ha ha, just a super slippery pair of socks :)
@@ThoughtfulCreativity OH! 😆😆😆
