Does everything in sewing take waaaay longer than you think it will too? I think perhaps I should have split these up into 3 short videos... or maybe movie length is better? It's very 'fly on the wall listen to my whole thought process in style', so I'd love to know how you like it!
I love your videos. Your personality and enthusiasm are contageous. It helps me to know that you, as expert as you are, still find little things you would do differently next time.
It is a process.
I thought the wonky waist line on the jumper would work itself out. Im so glad it did. It was designed to sit a bit higher than waist. It turned out so very cute. I too love that top. I want one exactly like it, lol.
My mother has passed some time back. She was a very thin and tall lady with great clothes. My two grown daughters took a few pieces but I still have a lot of her things. I had started seeing how I can redo some to fit me. Much like the red skirt. Most are very long so it will work if I get more confidence and try. I learn a lot watching your videos. Thank you. Keep up your good work.
YESSSSSS! Whatever you do I will enjoy it no matter what. You know your schedule, whatever works for you ...I know little videos can be fun/enjoyable as well as the longer ones. Mix it up, shorts & longs based on your needs. I hope this makes sense!!!
The longer the better in my opinion! You are a genius. The altered clothes fit so well - they look so expensive and exquisite!
I was home sick watching it. So it was enjoyable.
Great remakes. I enjoyed listening as you were thinking things thru and deciding how to solve each situation.
fun fact: "think how long it will take and double it" is also a rule of game design. and probably lots of other creative things!
I have to resize skirts all the time. So yes a tutorial on how you did the skirt would be great. Sometimes i put a constrast panels in and to add length a band on the bottom. Love your work
I've purchased a black swing skirt with embroiderey but needs a wider waist,without taking any off the waist,can i add a stretchy fabric on the waist,so it just becomes a pull on skirt?
I know I’m Two years behind this video- but I would LOVE a tutorial about making a skirt larger by moving the waist band.
Yes please! I have a few gorgeous skirts from the thrift store. A-line skirts, circular ones, one with darts in weird places... I would wear them much more often if they fitted just that little bit better. And resizing bigger And smaller please! Thank you!
@@elizabethdoran7626 if u can imagine it, it can be done !!
So excited to see today's video come up! Always happy for one of these...gathering ideas for my thrifted clothes. These days my clothes are either thrifted or me-made (and those from fabric I got at a thrift store or yard sale). Here's a story from my mom (1914-2001) that I think you'll enjoy. When my dad was away in the navy, mom and 2 of her sisters (husbands also away) shared a home in Northern New York state (think COLD). My oldest sister (born in 1937) was in kindergarten, and my mom was asked to come to talk to the teacher. The teacher explained to my mom that the area they lived in was quite poor due to the economy, and the other children just couldn't afford to dress as nicely as my sister did. Could my mom please try to dress her a bit "less nice"? My mom explained to the lady her clothes were all homemade...the little wool jumper that she wore that day was made from another garment that my mom had taken apart, and remade. The embroidery on the dress was covering up moth holes in the fabric! We've all enjoyed that story many times. My mom was the oldest of 14 children, and KNEW how to "made do"!! I love the heritage of creativity that my mom bestowed on us!!
I love your story, thanks for sharing.
That orange skirt/striped shirt combo has major Judy Garland 'Meet Me In St. Louis' vibes!
I didn't see it, until now!! 😅
Please please please do a tutorial on how you made the skirt bigger! Thanks!
Kelli Ann this!
Yes please
Oh!!!!!!! So lovely to meet your beautiful sweetie pup!!!! Thanks for bringing her (?) him (?) on camera! 😍😎🥰
Exactly!!! That's what I said as soon as I heard you sacrificed a pocket. I said, "Well, you could keep one. 😀
Yes, please do a detailed video on resizing a waist band to make it larger. Would be so helpful. Thanks.
That blouse looks like it'd be so versatile. Different skirt lengths and shapes to give the impression of different eras.
My favorite moment of every refashion video is always the before and after comparison.
I too am baffled by the “sleeve string” thing. Just why? Such an improvement on that cute little blouse!
Resizing a skirt would be a great video! 💃🏽
I wouldn’t mind wearing that pinafore over a dress like the one you have on, so the problem with the length is not a problem anymore :-) And the contrast between the two fabrics is just great!
That skirt is beautiful.
I love your reaction to “plastic” ribbon.
The orange skirt styling has very strong Mary Poppins vibes. Love it!
In the red skirt and striped shirt you remind me of Mary Poppins from the sequel!!
Cutest puppy ever! They're so sweet looking!
The fashions were lovely too.
Between you and coolipra I am rethinking the donation bin. Since retiring I've cleared out my closet several times of the business clothing, don't need so many dresses, the tops and skirts I haven't touched since retirement. Yes, I still sew but comfortable clothes that feel good in the Florida heat replaces the a/c office wear. Now I've gained a few pounds and I hate getting rid of a couple; and I'm into rethinking what to do to save the garments. You help my creative juices flow. Thank you!!
I don’t know why but I’m mesmerized by the moves of your beautiful hands 😯💚😍
Oh maaaaannnnnn!! When you opened up that organised lace drawer!!!!!!! As soon as I finish my latest sewing project, I'm gonna get my sewing room finished and organised properly!!! That is magnificent!!
Old time formula my family uses for removing seam and stitch lines when ironing, try spraying with white vinegar I do it and it alway works for me. Just a suggestion.
I loved the white blouse and the red skirt. The skirt with red striped blouse was so sharp.
Did you refashion ref/why blouse you wore with ref skirt? It now has neck bow.
I would love to see in detail how you managed to make the skirt bigger!
Love your bigger transformations too.
All of the finished garments are beautiful, but I particularly like the blouse.
I make skirts larger on the regular cause vintage skirts have the best material and tiny waists. (the smallest are also often on sale at the thrifts! Cause almost no one can fit them!) I take the waist band apart and use a new material on the backing of the waist band. That enables me to keep the pockets and lets me match seams if need be! I lose a tiny amount of skirt waist band height that way, but it is worth it! I love love this! Can't get enough of hearing your process!
It's SO NICE to not be the only one who refuses to spend $10 for a little ribbon...buttons...fill in the blank...I wouldn't say I'm a cheapskate, there are just always options, if you're willing to do a little legwork, & put a little imagination into your projects. Thrift stores & second-hand shops are a great place to find, inexpensive, brand new discarded sewing supplies.
The ribbon on the back of the pinafore just makes it ✅
Really love the idea to use old bed sheets and duvets to make up the prototype for the fitting.
I LOVE that beautiful silk cotton blouse. Looks perfect for a hot and humid summer day.
Wow, you can really see how much fun you had while posing and showing the clothes!
Really liked the video and the idea.
As a professional organizer and costumer (I know, I *know lol) I gasped when I saw your laces organized in your filing cabinet. My little heart went pitter-pat!
:: swoon ::
You are a delightful breath of fresh air Evelyn! I so enjoy your videos. Your vision and creativity are inspiring and fun! Such a talented young lady. Thanks for your positive contributions to our lives!
Aww thankyou! That makes day 😘
hey! I'm very much interested in a video on enlarging skirts(waistbands) ! :)
especially regarding button up skirts
What a great video. I had to watch it again. All 3 garments are great but the jumper really fits you to a "t". Keep them coming.
I love them all, but I think the pinafore is my favourite. And the skirt. Actually all of them !
Please do a tut on the lowering the waist of a skirt to make it fit. Thank you!
More things to do with finds that are too small would be fantastic - Thank you xxx
My favourite was the pinnie. Thank you, another interesting video. What a wonderful character you are. Love you to bits!
You're amazing! Oh so talented. I am speachless.
Love you fashion choice. My favorite style as well.
A tutorial for making a waist bigger?? YES, PLEASE!!
Wonderful refashions! Adjusting the arms on the blouse made such a big difference! I don't think I would attempt removing the waistband on a skirt--unless you provide us with a video! My favorite is the pinafore with that blouse--lovely!
Love the work you did on the garments, especially the pinafore. The green hat and other trim looks really good with it. Would LOVE to see you do a video on your hats!!!!
Loved all three ‘fixes’ - wish I was as slim as you, everything looks good on you.
Yeah, when you said quick fix for what you planned to do with the skirt I was like "waaait, how will she do that quickly and easily?!", haha.
Love that you found a way to extend the waistband! I have a pair of trousers that could use the same treatment!
You are unbelievable! Absolutely love your work! 😘💜
Love you Evelyn....I liked all three pieces...its the fabrics...I live in Arizona and even now the temperature is 109°... Those kind of fabrics are perfect for our weather...
I think I especially liked the blouse...love the fashion.
What a fabulous idea for making that smaller skirt fit. Great job!
Really Beautiful result. I like to watch all your videos. Thank you for Sharing.
Good sound advice, I am always sewing, unpicking then re sewing garments that don’t fit properly.
I will be following theses three steps from now on.
Clever pocket! 💕
Love them all and enjoyed how you talked your ideas out
Loved this video and the refashion on the white blouse was so simple in concept but so improved its look! It is like you brought the blouse to life while it was languishing before. Thank you for sharing your talent and creativity and for inspiring all sewers! 🌹
Would love to see a “how to make a skirt bigger” tutorial please 😊
I enjoy all your videos, the longer the better.
your nails match the skirt perfectly!
Loved the refit and I vote yes to the tutorial on enlarging waistbands
I really learned how to make a skirt fit, simple, but, an over looked step, I love thrift stores and goodwill stores for clothes, thrift stores are fun! Thank you for teaching! Looking for a video on how to make palazzo pants!
I love the green accessories on the black jumper! You look great in it too.!
Hard to pick a favorite but since it’s good for you to know the orange skirt with one pocket. Love it.
Yes! Do a tutorial on the skirt waistband ☺
Really like these, I would love to see a whole video on making skirts or even dresses (?) bigger! I often find things I really love that are small. P.S. I love the last hat!
The black pinafore came out beautiful!
lol @ quick fix. Can soooo relate. pocket...one pocket contains two pieces; use these pieces for the two visible sides of pockets and add two new pieces of a similar fabric for the two pocket pieces that are not as visible. beautiful work, Evelyn.
They all turned out so lovely!
loved it, just the right length. I love your honesty because sewing is just like that. I think one way but it turns out another and it's so easy to get ahead of yourself then you have to take stuff out or redo it. But in the long run your projects look amazing. Very inspiring!
Thankyou!! I try to show my real sewing! Your comment inspired my last video! 😙😙
Now I want to see everything you refashion! Lovel work and I too enjoyed hearing your thought process.
it is so good to have this 3 beautiful pieces in one video
Fantastic Evelyn ! I could watch your videos all day !!! Would love to know how you did the waste and on the orange skirt !! Thanks again 🙂
I prefer the pinafore and white blouse - beautiful!!! :)
Loved what you did with those things. Yes random rules of sewing would make a great video. I used to sew. Haven't in years, but I do like to thrifting and some things need to be refitted. Enjoyed the video.
I love seeing the little changes that you make to garments because it gives me ideas for my own fixes!
I'm in love with that pinafore! Need one!
Wow!!!! What an idea to store laces!! Thank youuuuuuu💙
I did all my laces! Its sooooo fantastic! A real lovely order! Thank you once more🌹
@Evelyn Wood
Still doing catchup as well as VSS! Evelyn I love love love this video. I desperately need to learn everything about refitting/refashion so I can correct some of my before VSS sewing disasters 🤣 Thank you also for showing your beautiful puppy who looks so loved. Without fur babies our lives would be much sadder. 🐾
Lovely refashions and I love your styling, so wearable!
Thank you for this. I have been sewing a long time but you've given me ideas to refashion two slightly unsatisfactory tops into the peasant style so they fit better too, and re- do the waistline of a skirt to make it shorter without losing the decorative border. In the process I can change the very pinchy elastic for a drawstring.
I love watching your videos so much I don’t get much sewing done! 🤣😂 You are so creative and delightful-I find it entertaining.
I can’t wait to try some of your quick fixes-I’ve got a favorite skirt I’d like to reproduce with other fabric and I think I need to “unpick” it to make myself a pattern for it. Thank you for all your videos. 🥰
How did I miss this video?? I just hit the bell.. no more missing awesome videos!
Excellent!!!
This made me happy today!
I love the orange one most, but with summer coming, we all need more cool & comfy blouses, don't we? What I love the most though, is that you never refer to "ripping seams" as a primary deconstruction method like some channels. I was taught from an early age that high-quality sewing alterations start with *unpicking* with great care & attention. Playing "Zorro" with garments places them at risk.
Yes please make a video on resizing taking in, and bigger for skirts and dresses 🙂💖
Would really love a deep dive regarding upsizing clothes
Love your 'quick' fixes...especially the 'not so quick' skirt. Since I'm stuck home, I've been watching videos about historical garments, and got a hankering for an Edwardian walking skirt. Not having much money or fancy sewing skills, I popped over to see what you would do with a skirt. I did a quick trip to a thrift shop and found an A line skirt about 2-3 sizes too big for me...mid-calf and plaid (polyester, but has a 'wool-ish' feel to it). It's very full with an elastic waistband. I removed the elastic, tapered the front and hips for that flatter hip/full bottom skirt look, and pushed all the excess fabric to the back for a little gathered bustle. It's all tacked, waiting for a waistband. I've ordered wide grosgrain ribbon and stiffener for the waistband.
Love the pinafore! This makes me want to make a jumpsuit with a similar top.
i love the pinafore the most! so cute!!!
I love all of these fixes! Great job! Add a belt to the orange skirt and no one will ever notice the extra seam. Thank you for sharing this with us. Blessings all!!!!! 💜💜
Ohh! 😮 I don't remember my fashion sewing teachers ever mentioning that I could alter a skirt that was too small for me at the waist!!! I'm so excited to try this the next time I see a beautiful flared skirt that is too small at the waist 🥳🥰
To extend the waist on the black item, I would have thought to open the top of the shoulders and consider adding a decorative strip of something to elongate the torso, as adding fabric, vertical sets of ribbons that are placed some space apart, or anything else I could think of. And possibly snip a little of the shoulder fabric before adding the other addition, if it appeared more attractive to do so.
Can't wait to see more of your videos 😃😃
I always learn something new from you! Love our channel ❤️
Super cute! Love the pinafore!
I love your eyebrows Evelyn, they’re perfect, I aspire!
Thank you for making these great videos. They are very informative and motivational.
My pleasure!
Love this video! New subscriber! I love the red linen skirt!!!
I would be interested in a video about altering size of skirts.
Perfect fix! The white blouse now no longer lays wrong in front.
You have inspired me to look at older clothing and update them!
Such a great video to get the brain “thinking”. Also, I couldn’t believe it when you offered a fix for the V neck shoulder slipping. I have several summer tops that I adjusted in other areas BUT the shoulders keep slipping. Definitely going to used your idea. A blessing.
