I absolutely LOVE that you show us when a piece doesnt necessarily come out exactly how you were expecting. It actually gives me even more confidence to try something I am not sure of. What doesnt work with one outfit might be perfect for another one !! As always I simply adore your videos and look forward to watching and learning something new !!! 😍😍😍😍😍
I appreciate that so much, thank you!🤗💞💓💗💖💕
What genius Tracey! The way to reshape clothes is so amazing! I have been losing some weight (Course not near what I would like to lose lol ) and this is great!! Thank you once again Tracey for being so generous with your ideas and times! Brenda

You are my inspiration. I even bought the same sewing machine. Lol
Awww I love it, thank you 🤗💞💞💞💞💞
Another great tutorial, thanks Traci! I have a project in mind, hope it works, making a lounging dress out of t-shirts. Was going to discard them but watching your video I feel t-shirts cut up can create fabric to make a comfy dress to wear at home. Your techniques have inspired me so nothing lost if I get it wrong because I will use elastic and runching, fabric patches and magic will happen. This way to use elastic is so easy and changes are dramatic, incredible. Thanks again. 💖💖💖💞💯
Aww I'd love to see what you create!🤗❤❤❤❤
Wow! Those pants are looking very cool!
Thank you 🤗💕💕💕💕

Peach fuzz! Great color!
Thank you 🤗💞💞💞💞
I have never wore something like that - now i want to 😜😂 I cant wait to get my 'design room' together.
I just moved from a tiny place to a forever home with a spare room.
I was teaching myself sewing many years ago (long story), and i cant wait to get everything organised. I am waiting on my daughters room to be renovated as she is in there til its done (its a very run down shack).
I feel rather impatient now.😂
Aww have fun!!!🤗❤❤❤
Stunning ❤
🤗❤❤❤❤
Love Love.
🤗💞💓💗💖
I love watching your videos and seeing how you make the clothes. Thank you !
Thank you so so much 🤗💞💞💞💞
Lovely outfit. I personally preferred it all white....or would have opted for the brown mixed with a hint of green perhaps. Your dye result is a bit too peachy/pink for me. But nevertheless the whole outfit is beautiful. 😘😘😘
Love these ❤❤❤
Thank you so much 😘💕💕💕💕
I love the big cozy sweater ❤ Looks great on you , turned out nicely 😊😊
Thanks so much! 😊 it was a great unexpected find🤗💞💓💗💖💕
Absolutely amazing!!!! Totally inspiring!!!! Thinking out of the box🤩, wonderful!!!! Thank you for sharing!! Tomorrow I must look for some thrifted shirts and nice white lace linen or sheets in my stach 🥰🤩🤩🤩🤩
Aww have fun!!🤗💞💞💞💞
Thanks for your page I really like your account , and your ideas for recycling :) really chic and cute
Thanks so much! 😊💖💗💓💞💕
So fun! Something Ive learned about some fabrics......if its a natural fibre it will burn and a synthetic will melt....try a small piece if possible and under your safest conditions of course😊.
Always fun having a cuppa and joining you for a tutorial.
Thanks for the tip!🤗❤❤❤❤
Oh my goodness TRACY you're so amazing and creative. I just love it. I bought some pants recently and didn't wanna wear them because I didn't like the baggy look and this totally gives me an idea what to do with them. Thank you so much. I love your videos.❤❤❤❤❤❤
Aww yayyy!🤗💖💖💖💖
you are inspiring me so much to sew as a beginner!!! i am so happy i found your channel. thank you!!! ❤
I'm so glad! Thank you 🤗💛💞💛💞💛

LOVE LOVE it - would love to see more of your dye experiments:) Beautiful, so appreciative. Great tips!
Thank you so much 🤗❤❤❤❤
Love the pants. You get some awesome fabric's to work with. I really like Largenlook. The anglaise robe was definitely worth the money. I can't get much natural fibre where I live except mens shirts. Your dyed clothes turned out fab. I love them. Congratulations 💖😀
Thank you so so much 🤗❤❤❤❤
Very creative 💫
Love the final look 🧡

I have a lacy white skirt I'm going to try that on. Your outfit looks adorable.❤
Yay! Thank you!💖💗💓💞💕
Such a cute outfit! That cocoon sweater - I bet it's acrylic. Even though it didn't take much of the dye, I wish you would have also modeled it with the outfit (as well as the cute pants you shirred). Thanks for the tutorial!
Thank you 🤗💕💕
❤
🤗💞💞💞💞
Thanks for another interesting technique! And for the secret coffee life hack . ❤

That sweater is such a find. I think I will go thrifting today. You have inspired me.
Aww yay! Have fun!🤗💞💞💞💞💞
You look so cute in this! The elastic idea is brilliant. I love the look🌻
Aww thank you!!!🤗💞💞💞💞
Another beautiful outfit! I have been getting bolder with dying things since watching how you do it. Love the color! Thank you Traci for sharing.💕
My pleasure 🤗💞💞💞
Traci, loved this video! I couldn't really picture where you were going until the end reveal but it turned out beautifully. Have you tried burning a little snippet off your garment to see if it melts for fibre content? Added bonus - I find myself trying to say awrnj like you every time you say it.
Awrnj lol😅😅😅 I have tried burning, but I don't trust my nose and what I'm smelling.🤗💖💖💖
Wow you have got great talent, ive just subscribed. I've always wanted to transform a denum jacket to make it more feminine, abit of lace or flowers like I've seen you cut out and sew them on 💐💐💐
Aww so glade you are here!!🤗💞💞💞💞
it's called a shrug its a rectangle of a square and you make short sleeves in it
😮😮👍👍🤟🤟😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
🥰🥰🥰

Would you mind furnishing info on the eyelet over dress piece? I really, REALLY like it and am willing to search all the places for it.
I got this at an antique mall, the tag is very faded. All I can read is, Leonora Inc. 100% cotton. Hope that helps some 🤗💖💖💖💖
thank you! maybe i'll get lucky!!@@tmyershandmade978
by the way! how is your hand ! hopefully it's getting better now :)
It's almost there! Thank you so much for asking!🤗💞💞💞💞

Hi, Traci. I love your outfit! Lately, I've been gravitating towards that color also. I am attempting a similar one at the moment. So...
My question is about dyeing. I've never had the courage. I have a white sheet. The problem may be the fiber content. It's a 50/50 cotton/polyester blend. How well might it take the dye for natural fabrics?
50/50 typically will take the dye in my experience. The color, most likely, won't be as rich and saturated as 100% cotton would be.🤗❤❤❤❤
Thank you for answering me. If I may...
Would dyeing it longer or making it more intense (less diluted) or even using the rit dye for synthetics make more vibrant? ❤❤
HELLO, I NEDD SUBTITLE IN SPANISH PLEASE
I believe you can create subtitles on your own device 🤗💛💛
@@tmyershandmade978 I already tried but it couldn't be done
I love it!
🤗💕💕💕💕
Just darling on you! Love how it flows, thank you for sharing all those great tips today!
Thank you so so much 🤗💞💞💞💞💞
This is absolutely gorgeous 😍! The lagenlook is so versatile.
Thank you again, Traci, for sharing your talent. It's much appreciated ❤️🤗
Aww thank you so so much 🤗💞💞💞💞
Hi Tracey
The Rit website has a ‘colour formula’ section with recipes for different colours.
I love your channel I’m a huge fan.
Nicole
Thank you!!🤗💞💞💞💞
That outfit is so you! It looks cute and comfy. Interesting how the different fabrics took on the dye. Thanks for sharing with us!
Thank you so so much!!!!🥰💞💞💞💞
I NEEDED this! I have so many things I can change, with just a little elastic! I wish I could remember who it was...I saw an upcycle video where elastic was sewn from the wrist to elbow of a thin sweater. It gave it a pretty shirred look and added so much detail to a simple sweater... and now my mind is bouncing! Wouldn't it be cute to add a couple of inches of elastic to the side seams at the bottom of a loose tunic length sweater?
Yes yes yes!!! Love the way you're thinking!!! I was thinking, what about a frumpy blazer, maybe five inches of elastic, horizontal in the middle of the back to give it more shape. Love the sweater sleeve idea!😍💕💕💕💕💕💕
@@tmyershandmade978yes!! And even add a couple of your rolled fabric roses to the back waist!
Yes! Cute idea!!!🤗💖💖💖
RE: Dyeing
For testing unknown/unlabeled fabrics, you can perform a “burn test” safely by clipping a few fibers from an inconspicuous area (maybe a seam) and lighting them on fire (holding the fibers in metal tweezers or pinches, over a fireproof surface, with water or fire extinguisher on hand-always practice fire safety).
By examining how the fibers burn, how they smell during/after burning, and the ashes, you can get a good sense of what the material is. There are lots of resources for analyzing burn tests online.
The simple version is, if your fibers melt (the burnt area blobs and solidifies as it cools down), you’ve got a plastic (or plastic blend)-polyester, acrylic, etc. If your fibers turn to ash or go out immediately after catching fire, you’ve got a natural fiber, and you can inspect the burn/ashes for more detailed info about which specific fiber. Oh, and wool will smell like burnt hair... kind of obvious, now that I think about it 😅
WONDERFUL information, thank you for taking the time to share with us!🤗❤❤❤❤
I love this! You’re THE BEST! Thank you soooooo much for your channel! I have seen some fake stores online selling these cute outfits but later I hear gals complaining that they either didn’t look like the pics or didn’t get their items. Soooo, why not just SEW THEM! And your tutorials are perfect!
I’m so thrilled by so many of them. So far I’ve made some super cool backpacks from your videos but now I really want to make a few of these charming outfits. (I never wanted to sew as much as I do right now). Thank you!!!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤😊
You have no idea how happy it makes me to hear that you are excited about sewing and creating! Love that!!!!🤗💞💞💞💞💞💞💞
You are an amazing resource. I watched this when it first came out, wasn't sure that the message was for me. Then two days ago, a course of action I was taking seemed to fall apart, and I went into an emotional reactive mode. This morning, I started journaling as a method for working through this dilemma, and I realized that something about it seemed very familiar, and my mind went back to this video. I just re-watched it, and you have described what I just experienced, why it has happened, and what to do about it. Truly amazing. I just want to validate the good you are doing in the world. Thank you so much, you teach the lessons well and are very gifted. Please keep on doing what you are doing, and I will be watching and liking.
I appreciate that so so much, thank you 🤗💕💕💕💕
