I have been so in love with the Freepeople Inspired Set I made a few weeks ago and wanted to try and do another Tablecloth Flip!
The thrift stores have such amazing tablecloths and each one has a gorgeous edging detail that lends to the overall design.
I share how I made my "pattern" although its really just plotting your measurements directly on your fabric.
You'll want to work with the design details in your specific tablecloth.
Designing AROUND those elements.
Starting with inexpensive materials like thrifted tablecloths, are a great way to learn some basic pattern making!

YES to re- imagining fabric!!! I went into Zara one day… found a skirt that I LOVED (a full , drop wast) that was $110 Can. The pattern of the fabric was a copy of a designer fabric in her current clothing collection. Two hours later, I went into Winners (Can version of TJ Max) and found a thin shower curtain, on sale, of the same fabric from said designer. Hacked a current pattern that I had, and made my fav skirt (still five years later, for $17.25.
Yes, this is how you do it! Amazing 💎
😍 Yassss
It’s the hunt!
I love great stuff like that
omg that's amazing! what designer was it? thanks for sharing with us, how cool!!
It looks like a modern Monet painting!!! Beautiful!!!
Oooooh! When you pulled it from the wash, I was ready to pull my hair off, as I loved it white, and I was like WHY WHY WHY! But the subdued colours in the end turned out sooo great! I like all three, but the first one (tulle skirt) is probably my fav.
hahha me too!
@@TheDIYDesigner, Orly, you are going to make me go to the thrift store today and buy some lace table clothes, because the design created here and in the previous video are such a vibe. Have a wonderful Sunday, love!
Personally. I don't like white so any colour will be good 😂 but it came out beautiful 💜
I admire your ability to just 'go for it' with fabric! I'm always scared to cut into any fabric, thrifted or not, unless I have a pre-planned design. It's hard for me to imagine the result from a flat piece. And of course everything you wear looks fabulous on you!
Gorgeous! The dress reminds me of Scarlett O'Hara if she decided that velvet drapes would be too hot for summer, so she used a tablecloth, and she wanted it to look like a Monet painting. I love this dress!
hahah omg I love that visual!
I love it, but I would have kept it white! Loving the lace/crochet DIYS!
I liked the white
Ooh, me too with the crochet & lace! What a clever, gifted girl you are! Love F X
Wow, you are amazing, my preference would be to keep it white….For a wedding….Very well gifted ! Have to watch more of your designs…
I was thinking a black or dark navy color would have been nice too. OR a solid wine red or forest green. Something dark.
One of each pleeeeeaase!
I would consider removing the dye with oxiclean and dying it again! It is so gorgeous and you are so clever. The movement in the lower dress is perfection. I love the way you kept going instead of tossing it out as a fail. It would be gorgeous for a spring wedding/event as a pastel, if you decide to change it. I also love the ecology of reusing fabric!
Absolutely gorgeous! I have the exact same tablecloth, it won't remain one for long! Love your videos!
music to my ears!!
😂👍👍
You are a flipping genius. Using the gores like that was the perfect way to flare the skirt but keep the scallop edge. Such a beautiful shape. And I can't believe how fearless you are with dye! I'd be terrified that I would ruin my beautiful creation. If I try this, I will dye it first to limit my losses if it doesn't turn out.
😮😅
Love it with the blue tulle so soft and feminine. Then the black accessories. Such a strong contrast. Strong look with a soft touch. Love ❣️
Wow it looks so floral in the end! So pretty! I hope mine turn out as nice
It looks amazing!!! The best one for me is the one with the grey petticoat.
Stunning, absolutely crazy about how it turned out
Hey girl, you're awesome as usual !! So glad you have been doing dresses. My two-year-old granddaughter just discovered princesses and now will wear nothing but a dress. I have been taking some of my old clothes and trying to make her a few. You inspired me to take some old sheer beautiful curtains that I have no use for anymore and make her the most beautiful princess dress. Creativity=Freedom=Peace
This is gorgeous!, I like the grey ruffled slip the best!
I was skeptical but, WOW! 👏🏽😍
The tablecloth is crocheted with a very thin yarn. It's very similar to cross stitch or embroidery yarn. I absolutely love how the dress turned out. It is gorgeous and you are so talented. When you modeled the dress, I liked the first slip and the black bodysuit. If the white slip was a little longer it would've looked nice, too. I was thinking a nude bodysuit would work as well.
Yes…a nude bodysuit would be stunning!!! I never even thought of that. You have an eye for fashion!!!😉That would just be perfect. 🤍🫶🏼🖤🫶🏼🤍
Love the grey tulle under it. You rescued it and it’s beautiful!
I like it best with the silk slip. Also the lace pattern makes the tie dye look like flowers.
I made a sleeveless, full length shift dress from a tablecloth to attend a wedding rehearsal dinner in Barbados 20yrs ago!! I had enough left over to make a hooded wrap since the breeze was cool after sunset
Once again you've brought back my love for the unique in personal style😘💕
Love it! Especially with the tulle skirt!
I like them all. Of course like I said before, you make anything look great.
Re: dying… soak fabric in a soda ash solution. This will allow the dyes to ‘take’. After dying there is a fixative (purchase at Dharma Trading). Three steps 1 ) soda ash 2) dye 3) synthrapol, wash to set dye.
Your dress is stunning. My suggestion is only if you want to experiment with the dying process.
I love it! It's unique, playful, versatile & very flattering. The tulle was my favorite. I would even wear a capri length bodysuit or leggings in any of the colors, with the front held in place, open, with the belt, for a retro Barbie doll flair.
oooh love that!
Finally I have something to do with my grandmother's old lace tablecloth. Thank You!!
I was skeptical at first. Then I loved it. Then the dye-on-dye turned me skeptical again... and then: the finished product! WOW! LOVING it. And you have the body to pull off the body suit underneath, so you go GURRRL!
I personally liked it white. It's crazy how different it looked with the different slips!
right!? So fun to remember each piece we own can really be transformed into many different ones...its just in the details!
Oh WOW. You did it again! 😅
I wasn't really into the whole tablecloth idea, but the result looks stunning. I'd wear that every opportunity I got, if it was mine. The soft yet bright colors work perfectly with the 'airy' lace design.
Great job 👏👏👏
Super cute definitely saved it with the synthetic dye 👏🏽👏🏽🤩🤩
So lovely! What a creative use of a lace table cloth. I love this! I use them for ruffles and edging all the time, but this takes it to a whole new level!
I am freaking in love with this. My thrift store did not have any tablecloths so going back in a few days.
Hi Orly,
OMG, what a brilliant idea. The dress turned out beautifully. Another triumph.
I to had flipped a table cloth into a dress for my daughter when she was in grade school, she loved it and so did everyone else. It was just beautiful.
It came out gorgeous, love the end result. For anyone curious, it’s not a ‘gore’, but is actually a godet. It’s an insert, whereas a gore is typically an equal sized piece where you sew multiple together to create the whole.
And I think the black underneath is gorgeous!
That tablecloth was just beautiful, so you started off with some great textile. You really got a great eye on picking the fabric/tablecloths that will give you more bang for the money. I had trouble flowing the direction, but I am sure it just me. First, I was wondering why you choose to dye it and I was terrified when you took it out the wash, glad you did not give up on it. I love the end results of the dye job; it gave a watercolor effect. The styling with the tulle skirt was my favorite look. Thanks for sharing and blessing to you and all in the days to come
From where I'm from, being told that you're wearing a tablecloth is not a compliment but after seeing your creation, I'd brag about wearing one for sure!
Amazing work, as usual! 💙💙💙
Love it with the gray skirt. Super super cute!! 😍😍
That belt....I NEED THAT BELT!!!
In white with a white or pinkish tule skirt will be a cute wedding dress!
Love, love, love it. Perfect for a summer romance
Turned out great! It looks very Encanto Isabella's "What Else Can I Do" vibes
I love that you call gores "gourds". Its funny and it makes me think of that hourglass shaped squash, which makes me think of putting a dress on that and how nice a gored dress would look on one of them.
This looks very cute!
You freaking NAILED it! Great job, it looks beautiful!
Brava 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 I love to see crochet tablecloths repurposed! I liked the tulle and white slip, so pretty 🌸
WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ALL MY LIFE?! HOW HAVE I NOT FOUND YOU BEFORE THIS!? These are my kind of DIYs and I’m obsessed.
And now I will binge em all.
Perfect! Wow, what a transformation!
I really like the white underneath the best. I think you saved it for sure. It became a super beautiful piece!
That's a beautiful dress. I often make tops from lace tablecloths. I even dye them sometimes if they are found off color. Rich reds & greens etc. Added lace from a tablecloth to the bottoms of pants. Took 2 of the same tablecloth & added it to a plain cover let and did the same w/ pillow cases. I put the lace over a pr. Of purchased pillow cases. Etc. You can go wild w/ lace tablecloths, curtains too. Sheer curtains can be machine embroidered and made into clothing. And the list goes on.............Lace in fabric stores are VERY expensive. I'm on a really tight budget, so lace tablecloths,curtains etc. Do well. Sheer curtains too. Even rich colored cotton tablecloths.
Yep! You saved it...not surprised😉 I love the white slip underneath...makes the lace and the colors pop....awesome job❤❤
Love the results! If you're unsure if a fabric is cotton or polyester you can do a burn test. Take a small sample and put it in a saucer, if it crinkles and looks plastic when you burn it, it's polyester. Cotton turns into ash, almost paper like. Hope this helps someone
It is so perfect Orly! Dare I say, one of your best DIY’s..? 😍🤩
LOVE what you did there. I've often seen these types of table cloths wondering if I could sew something from them. THIS. I have twin daughters whom I showed this video to and they love the idea. I could line it from a simple cotton ( for more modesty for my kids) and include them in the dying process. Great holiday project for us. I'm excited
I like all of the slips and considering what it was made from it’s beautiful xx
I like the white slip underneath best, second blue tuile and third bodysuit. Very pretty.
the black one is the bomb! so high fashion now! great save!
I'm going to look at table cloths in a new light. Absolutely stunning. I like the grey under the dress.
Good morning! Yet another beautiful diy 🥰🥰
I love the grungy colors with the crochet. It makes it a lot more edgy and cool.
Love the tulle skirt style. So much fun!
It's so, so, so beautiful!! I love the color, especially that the colors are more subtle, that to me makes it more elegant. and the shape is totally my style. This also will go into my inspiration list.
Great job!!!!
Beautiful and so versatile! I love how each underpinning changes the look!
Oh yeah! You saved it!
I love, love, love this dress!
We recently changed our windows and now my very expensive lace curtains no longer fit and I will be sending them to Goodwill…It would be nice if someone picks them up to make a top or dress with them….wish I could sew…I don’t even own a sewing machine. You have so much talent.
Very pretty, and I like the washed out look of the dye. It makes it look vintage.
Omg the ending dress is soooo CUTEEEEE!!!!!!
I like it after you dyed the 2nd time. I like the slips underneath, not the bodysuit, great job. You truly can upcycyle anything
I think repurposing fabrics black tablecloth’s tea towels Old gorgeous vintage bed linens are all so chic and on trend and very costly on Etsy and other boutique sites. This looks phenomenal. I love the beautiful muted pastels I think I gave so much dimension to the peace especially with a beautiful tulle underskirt!! I really am thinking of either getting a tea towel top made after sourcing a vintage tea towel or figuring out how to make a top out of a Laura Ashley pillowcase that I have that I don’t use anymore!!
I think it’s a magical watercolor unicorn dress! It looks great with all the slip options! Amazing!
All three looks are FABULOUS !!!!
Love it. Can’t wait to try it!!! Love watching your channel!!! You’re such a inspiration !!!
It is beautiful 😍 I love the colors and how the slip transformed it. Awesome job❤
Definitely not a fail!!! So creative!!!!
I really like the dress and new color! It is beautiful ☺️ The tulle slip was for me the best, I can appreciate and say I like the second one next. The third body sit makes it look like a beach cover-up
Love, Always Thank YOU for sharing your inspiring gift! you lift my spirit to DIY!
That came out really nice. You know you can sew when you don’t need a pattern and the item looks like you bought if off the rack.
oooo the black body suit! LOVE
Honestly it turned out really pretty, I love your channel! Orly you should have another clothing line because I would definitely purchase your designs.
Beautiful!!! Love love this! You're so great with these ideas.
Loved the first slip. It looked like water colored art! So pretty!!
So gorgeous. It’s so Spring looking. It would be perfect for a Spring or Summer wedding. Love it. You always amaze me. 🌹
I really like it , my favorite is with the tulle slip , you look beautiful in that dress and thanks for all the awesome ideas 😍
Stunning! I love the gray tulle skirt under it.
Love the DIY...love all of the versions but my favorite was with the tulle skirt...it looked like a beautiful wedding dress before the dye
Filet crochet is what the “lace” is called. Very cute!
Looks adorable on you! Like the tulle skirt the best. Love the tip about the gussets(sp) laying them in and letting the pattern show you where to sew and cut! You inspire people to take chances in sewing and do something spontaneous!
I love it!.I have several old lace tablecloths so I might try your idea.I liked the white better but you transformed it into something really awesome.Thanks for all your tutorials and inspiration.
I didn't think I'd like the colors you used, but it turned out it be a hit! Clever, very, very clever!
Great transformation! Love it with the tulle! The colors are beautiful as well! You never disappoint 🤩
“I’m just gonna start cutting..” classic Orly! And it totally works out.
I don't usually comment but this time I have to. This may just be my fave upcycle of yours. Stunning!!
Wow, that's amazing.
Absolutely OUTSTANDING! I love it love it love it! I'll definitely be on the lookout for amazing tablecloths at the thrift store. You are so good at DIY, my friend! ♥
those beautiful model photos of you at the end are always my favorite part, you can see all the joy and pride for your amazing creatiions
thank you!
Love it!!! ❤️ can't wait yo see your next DIY!!!
Wow!!! Love how it turned out
LOVE IT!!! The colors are beautiful and the dress looks amazing!!!💜💜💜
Oooo I love how the colors turned out! It looks PERFECT for the spring and summer! I especially love the tulle, but I always tend to love black and edgy clothing, so the fact that you went with the body suit, omg STUNNING! Either way, sweet or spicy, you are rocking this dress! Ever since you started playing with gourds, ive been so tempted to try them, but I don't have any flowy skirts to open, or even a cotton shirt to upcycle, i'm looking at my suede and leather skirts and dreaming of figuring out how to do a pleated skirt, without completely cutting the leather skirt, keep the waist band and details, but have it pleated with the gourds in the suede. Ahhh i'm terrified! Would love to see you try something with a sturdier fabric, just to make me feel less scared to do it myself! Love your diy! You are so inspiring! Especially to free hand and drape cloth, i've been so limited to patterns, and now i'm pinning things to my body (i don't have a dress form, but what form is more perfect than yourself?!) and i have never had as tailored of a closet, as i do now!
I love it!!!!. The first dye with the green I even liked that, but the dress turned out beautiful! Thanks for showing the different ways to wear it.
You are so welcome!
OMG, I love how it turned out. Great job.
best part is wearing and showcasing it! love it🥰😍
