THRIFT FLIP! I MADE A BLANKET COAT / Sewing a Statement Piece DIY Upcycling Vintage Fashion Easy fun

- Two Weeks ago I found the TREASURE of all TREASURES at my favorite thrift shop! Its this beautiful white and pink checkered vintage blanket! I only paid a few dollars for it and I washed it as soon as I got home! My plan the whole time was to upcycle it into a statement coat, perfect for spring weather and keeping with my *pink era*. The coat inset entirely hand sewn, but I did the blanket stitching my hand! I love the look of these coats, they truly are where fashion meets art "fashionart" if you will 😅👍🏽 its the coziest fashion piece I've made yet, and pairs really well with a lot of my favorite outfits!
**When buying things second-hand always make sure to look it over really well for damages, and wash it when you bring it home

I am so impressed by you!! You are amazing! And FUN! 70 year old mama here, sewing for 60+years and you inspire me.❤
I agree
the coat is absolutly iconic and absolutly the most spring coat I've seen. absolutely amazing!
its super springy! I can't wait to wear it out on the town!
Absolutely!❤
The coat is exquisite and you are hilarious!! I just discovered your site and will be back to see what other fabulous things you do. Well done!!!
If I find a similar blanket I'll turn it into a swing coat, as I realized that style would look amazing with this blankets pattern
This is the first time I’ve ever seen one of your videos. Great coat and you look fabulous in it. Thanks for the tips and entertainment on a Friday night.
You are so charismatic and your video was super entertaining! 👍 That coat is gorgeous! ❤
Thank you!! I’ve been wearing this coat EVERYWHERE lately! The temperature has been perfect for it!!!
Nice job. You're very relatable. When you were hand sewing on the sofa with your husband on your right and your sister on your left I was giggling. Your arm swinging high and wide and your husband obviously leaning away from you. The awareness that one might get punched in the face or a needle might poke your eye.
Lol he puts up with a lot from me 😂😂 he hates coming up into my sewing area because he is terrified of stepping on a pin 😂🤦🏻♀️
The fact that you matched the patterns and the coat is cohesive makes me so happy I could almost cry.
I tried really hard to match the stripes on the hem of the coat!! I’m so glad you noticed that!!!
@AlexandriaLayne I am OCD and ADHD and that's the kind of things I tend to "hone in on". I've seen other creaters make these and I wanted so bad to love them but I couldn't because they were everywhere. Yours made me and my brain happy. 🩵
I appreciate your sharing your mistakes in the project. It can be a warning, but it's also an encouragement.
🐇🕯Very nice...The blanket stitch was the perfect adornment...Bless you and your hubby...
That coat is definitely boogie! I need one...❤
Love your videos. You are such a fun person. And I love your sense of humour. Your right about those boots they look amazing, but they make you pay for that fact. 😂
I love the look of the boots so much but they totally make you pay! I'm surprised I haven't accidentally broken the heels off yet, or tripped in them 😂
getting serious 60s fashion vibes and i'm for it!
great job!
Right?! Like it’s got a bit of that “mod 60’s” vibe? Lol and with the boots it’s even more 😂😂
Loving the vibe on your videos. It's fun and that coat is so spring like. I can just about sew a straight line and the way you imagine your projects are amazing.
dude thank you so much! I try to edit the videos as true to my process as possible! sometimes that means it gets a little chaotic, but still good I hope! 😂
That came out beautifully. Especially with that blanket stitch
Love your style and your sense of humor! Super video! Funny! And well videoed.
I found the loveliest embroidered quilt i will use as a lining in either the Galaderial cloak or a faux fur cocoon coat I'm making.
Well...this coat is fabulous ❤
Simple but boujee haha, love it!! I'm complicated AND boujee. Anyway, it turned out great! And love that you showed a bit of the BTS photo shoot too 'cause I'm just a sucker for all things photo shoots after making something hehehe. The repetitive arm movements causing flare-ups sounds horrible, I get that when I fold too much laundry and any task similar and my shoulder blade area feels in pain, but I've never had an injury so who knows what my excuse is haha.
My shoulder pain comes from years and years of competitive swimming 😂 it’s literally the worst 😂 but a little ice and some yoga and I’m good to go!!
Lol I just love your energy. Well done with the coat. I just had to subscribe. Your so positive and truthful its very refreshing x
That coat is adorable!
@@annevanner thank you!!!! It’s my favorite mild weather coat to wear!!
I love how the coat turned out❤
Mmmm...the white boots - yeah!
🎉YAAAY!! 🎉😁
YOU DID IT‼️
Aaaand it looks GREAT!!
👏👏👏👏👏
Your coat looks amazing and great with the boots. Defo 50s vibe.
Great job. Good conversations… agree with boots. At almost 7 decades I had to give them up 30 years ago after tearing ligaments 2 times in my ankle. Be careful… Keep creating…
I love how you styled it with those boots! So cute!
I need to find new knee high white boots because these ones are so cute but I can barely walk in them 😂😂 they are so unstable!
@@AlexandriaLayne why not get some comfortable boots of any color and use leather paint to make them white? It would make for a cool video, and you could probably get Angelus to partner with you and supply the paint.
The coat is amazing. I’m living for the pink ❤
I’m so glad you like it!! I’m still surprised it came together! After the shoulder seam ripped I lost a lot of my confidence in the project but it totally came together!
How great is this?!!!!💖💖💖I have made several quilt coats and jackets but never a blanket one and yours is inspiring me!!!!
I love how your jacket turned out! Your channel is amazing!
WOW ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS!!! Thank you for sharing. 😊
Love the coat, you definitely hit the jackpot with that thrifted blanket. I’d like to make a more fitted type of blanket coat. ❤
I love you and your personality and your project.
Boy, I wish I could sew!
I love the boots with ❤the coat and the coat turned out amazing
I love every second of this!!! So engaging and relatable ❤
That is an amazing coat! Love it
The coat turned out so cute! Now I want one.
Looks fantastic… great find and creation!
dude I am still so obsessed with this coat! I wear it everywhere!
I use my oversized heating pad all the time to keep the stiffness and pain away…. Many prayers for you! It’s so hard being a person who has to stay busy while coping with health issues. Yet, here we are!! Love your creativity!!
Absolutely LOVE this !!! You did an incredible job! Your so fun !
Absolutely in love with this jacket! Totally going to try this 😂
Turned out great! I love the fact that it looks kind of home made. That seems to be the style these days. Upcycling something that already exists into something even better.
Sis you did AMAZING! I wish that coat was mine. I need a sewing machine, you inspire me so much.
I absolutely love how this turned out!
I decided to take a quick break and your channel popped up in my feed. So glad. I used to sew my clothes in grammar and high school. I know what it feels like to have that ambition of completing a project in a day. It’s hit or miss. I enjoyed watching. Cute coat. Great personality ❤
This is the first video I have seen of yours and I am hooked! I LOVE the coat!
Very cute coat and idea to upcycle a blanket
it came out so cute and I really like it with the white knee highs it reminds me of Goldie Hawn/twiggy style so pretty!!
She's BEAUTIFUL!💘💝💖💗💓
love the photo shoot behind the scenes! Lol
Fabulous result gorgeous coat you are awesome ❤
I thought I was the only one who goes through stages where I cut up old clothes and then 😱 or 😊hit or misses …. 😂
First time on your channel. Love it! The project, your commentary & style. Thanks for sharing your triumph over chronic pain & calling out classy-vicious boots! They do look great.
im glad you like my stuff!!! lol those boots are the most stylish death taps I own!!🤣
Love love love this coat!
Wow that is GORGEOUS!!!!!!
"If you learn anything from my videos - that's on you", you cracked me up when you said that, too funny. I love how you smiled through the stressful parts, that I know aren't fun during a project and could so relate.
That coat is gorgeous ❤❤❤
That came out so good, love the fabric.
Love the coat! This is a real win!
Great job! I usually do french seams when using that type of fabric, to prevent them from ripping.
Gorgeous results ❤
Thank you! 😊 I have worn it out to dinner a few times since posting the video and got a few compliments on it!!
So cute I love it!! I was excited to see what you created with the blanket and it turned out amazing! I love the stitching detail
I almost didn’t do the stitching details because it takes FOREVER but I’m so glad I stuck it out and finished it!
Your work is better than you realize. I do the same thing. You really did a great job!
This is everything!
Amazing! I just love this! You are So clever!
Hello!! Fabulous! Those boots are amazing too ❤
It is called a Capote, and it’s a very old style coat. They were popular with French trappers and traders, or coureurs de bois, who made them from Hudson Bay Company wool blankets, and later from other sources of wool blankets. They became very popular with Native Americans who frequently traded with the French. Nowadays, they are typically worn by reenactors. I made one for my husband, who is Native American.
“TO THE YARN STASH”
Really sent me🤣🤣🤣 thank you for this tutorial
I’m glad you enjoyed it!! I want to make a similar coat this year but with LOTS of cool embroidery on it!
OMG you are so fun. I love this.
I think this is such a cute and creative idea and I love this blanket as the fabric to use for this project. I saw another woman using blankets for jackets and she also did an amazing job. I wish I could remember her name at the moment but I can’t😢
Your coat looks beautiful! You did a great job!
You did it and you look adorable!
Your coat looks amazing! I really enjoyed your video.
I have two 100% pure wool blankets that I got in an op-shop (thrift store) last year that I want to turn into a blanket coat but I haven't found the right pattern yet. I'm looking for one with a hood.
Lol im currently looking for another blanket to make a coat with a hood!! It’s though to find big enough blankets though because I’m 6 feet tall 😂 I would have loved to add a hood on this blanket coat but I used up almost every scrap of the blanket just making what I have 😂 good luck finding a good pattern! I would love to see the finished coats !!!
That was a great video! Beautiful coat!!👏Wow! It's so much more as a coat than the blanket, excellent vision. I'm about to embark on the blanket coat initiation and am so thankful for your video for multiple reasons such as; making a sewing circle out of the pieces about to be sewn for good vibes, needing snacks, putting overly optimistic timeframes and the pressure to complete things as if I can warp space-time, demonstrating when to stop and being ok with it, picking that blanket! ( I know I would've walked away from big square checks), winging your own pattern, being a taller girl like me, adding lapels-brilliant(I'm totally doing that) and pockets. Now I'm stoked to sew!!! Thanks again.
TALL GIRLS UNITE!!! Sending you all the good vibes!!! lol make sure to follow the steps as closely as possible, and never underestimate the power of a sewing snack!
I have been wanting to make a bog coat (jacket) for years. I have not found the correct blanket to make it out of yet. Your coat looks wonderful on you. Those boots would kill me.
Gurl you did an amazing job!!!!!
The blanket is beautiful. I haven't even got to the end result, but i can tell it is going to look nice. Kinda Barbie-ish. I like it.
Super great coat !!!!! You really added a lot of details 💗. I’m making an OS hoodie from fluffy fleece sofa throws, For granddaughter. Have to get it done before Christmas 🎄 🎄🎄
Love this! Well done!
Wow so so cute!!
Found your channel in my feed recently - what a coincidence that I have put the exact same bathrobe in my "never let a gift go to waste - I can use it as a pattern" box. 😂😂
I have a very similar box at my house! 😂 it has a pair of really hugely buy well fitting pants in it and as soon as I have the time I’m cutting them up and making a pair of the same pants but in a fabric that isn’t so ugly 😂😂
I’ve done something similar with a wool blanket. My husband wanted a “boreal” coat for woodcutting or anything else in the wilderness in frigid weather. It turned out great.
You had me at CHRONIC PAIN!!! SUBSCRIBED!! 😂❤ The coat came out AWESOME!!! Pink is my favorite color so I MAY be a lil biased! 😂
Its giving Howl vibes ❤
I really enjoyed watching your video.I need to try this.
Omg! We love that pink pattern so much
Lovely!
"If you learn anything from watching me , that's on you "! 😅🤣😆- priceless
Girl you did that! Plus you are talking than me - tall girl club - yes! 5''10
Gorgeous 💕
Beautiful work!
That’s a cute coat. The blanket stitch pulled it all together.
Superb. I’m impressed. (Your commentaries gave me a bit of anxiety, but I think I can work through that because I really want to look at some of your other videos but we’ll see if my anxiety gets too high I may not be able to go forward) I do love your thought process and how you executed this, and I apologize to much chitchatting, for some reason just gives me anxiety.
i so love it.
😂 I get the lizard brain too
@@texas55rex I’m afraid that the lizard has actually taken over my brain
I love this!!
I love this! great job!
Love it!!
One word, "Beautiful!"
Fantastic!
