Had to smile when you asked if anyone else like to smell the scent of ironing. People think I am crazy because I love to iron. I can spend hours ironing.
Lol there's just something about that makes me feel happy🤗❤❤❤
I love to iron as we.l ...yes ahhh the smell like a library a required taste
The smell of ironing is the gateway drug to housework…
Hello I'm a Tracy fan and I love the beautiful clothing line she puts out she is absolutely Primo😊
I got off the subject sorry my bad but Tracy I really like the iron myself I like everything in order
To quote Carol Burnett, "I saw it in the window and I just couldent resist".
Lol!!!🤗❤❤❤❤
Girl you have us hooked. No way are we losing faith in you. You are amazing and I’m proud to see that you show us when you have to correct something. It shows your human. Thank you so so much 🥰
Aww I appreciate that so much, thank you 💞💞💞💞💞💞
Amen 🤗💕
Your "look" or "design" is such that, if I saw someone wearing it, I'd know it was made by you. You have a signature look.
Aww I really appreciate that!!!!
Moved my sewing downstairs (healing from fractured pelvis.) It's a luscious mess, and I'm having fun and got out of depression getting to create without standing. See, YOUR videos were healing. 💞🙏
Hope you have a speedy recovery! Glad you found a way to still create😘💕💕💕💕
I am a seamstress and have sewn for over 70 years and I love this skirt! I am going to try to make me one ! I have one problem and that is I am too much of a “rule” follower! I LOVE that you follow your own rules and make beautiful things! I am also plus-size, 80 and short. Wish me luck!
Best of luck!🥰🥰🥰🥰
We can do this. I have a round tablecloth that's blue toile that I want to use. I'm 71, short, and chubby. But that's fine because I feel good in that gypsy, boho look.
I'm so glad you left that part in where you had to fix a mistake. Cause it's a guarantee that I will make one! Thanks for showing us how to keep moving forward.
Lol my pleasure🤗🤗🤗🤗
Lose faith in you? NEVER!
The way you rectified your “mistake” & put the panel in showing the raw edges, was genius!
You are my favorite diy/up cycler/tutor here on YT!
I love everything about you, & can we take a moment about that slide show at the end 😮
If you ever want to show how you made numbers 1,5,8,12, yes please!
So glad you are getting $$$, so we’ll deserved!
Thank you soooo much, that positive feedback means soooo much to me. I am keeping my eye out for fun skirts to upcycle💞💞💞💞💞
OMG! I just realized this is a Scarlett O’Hara outfit! Great job, Tracy!
🤩🤩🤩💕
OMG.....I have that fabric in a red. And it's a small piece but because I love it so much I don't want to cut it up. So it sits on my shelf with some other don't want to cut fabrics. Actually if i'm honest I have more on that shelf than the other shelves. I love to watch you create. So i'm pleased I came across your channel. And most of the time i'm amazed at what you have made. I've always loved the style you do. So a huge thank you for spending your time to bring this to us all. Stay safe and happy creating.
I appreciate that so much!!🤗💞💞💞💞
the very last dress in the slide show is awesome!! And yes we made it all the way through!! Thanks again
Lol thank you so much 🤗💖💖💖💖
I'm so in love with that duster, if you ever want to sell it, PLEASE remember me!😁❤❤❤
🤗❤❤❤❤❤
I'm new to your channel in 2024, love your black top/dress
Thank you so much 🤗💗💗💗
I am hooked too. Watching every night. You are such a talent! I love your great whimsical ideas!
Aww I appreciate that so much!!🤗💞💞💞💞
You are AWESOME, I will never loose faith in you , I ❤❤❤ your style and THANK U so much for your time to teach us!!!!
Awww my pleasure, thank you so much 🤗💕💕💕💕
Fabulous Traci! Loved watching all the way...I’m kinda glad you did the miscalculating of the waist and showed us how to rectify it...I would NEVER have thought to put a panel in to widen the waist! I would have either cut the skirt down or turned it into scrap fabric lol either way it probably would have ended up in scrap pile 😂😂😂 I really love your videos and your past creation reel at the end was a lovely bonus....you are so creative. ..... By the way 28inch waist? Girl! ....No wonder everything looks amazing on you lol. #Waitlossgoals 💜💕💜💕💜💕💜💕💜
Lol thank you so so much. I panicked a bit when it didn't fit, but glad I stuck it out🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Какая шикарная получилась юбка! Обожаю ваши видео!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you so so much 🤗💕💕💕💕💕
This is such a cute idea!! I love toile de joie! Your elastic attachment would be so much easier if you just folded your elastic in half, then in half again, marking your quarters that way. Do the same to the waistline of your skirt, then match up your marks on your elastic to the quarter lines on your skirt. Pin in place, stretch and sew!
THANK YOU!!! I knew there ha to be an easier way!!!🤗💖💖💖💖
Scarlett did it first but you did it best!
Loving this skirt!
Lol!!! Thank you 😘💕💕💕
Yay for TH-cam paying you for all the time you spend making these tutorials - congratulations! I'm really proud of my favorite online teacher! As others noted below, I'm delighted that you don't hide that fact that sometimes you make mistakes - you inspire me to rethink the (MANY!) mistakes I make on my projects and look for ways to make them intentional improvements instead of flaws. I've made about 30 pieces since I learned how to sew from you - the first ones admittedly are now being upcycled yet again since they turned out pretty bad as I was learning how to use a sewing machine and getting sewing concepts down. But now I'm turning out stuff that I'm actually really proud of thanks to you! 💖💖💖💖💖
Omgosh that is so amazing that you are sewing away, so glad you don't throw in the towel when mistakes are made! Thank you so so much for taking the time to reach out to me, hearing your stories is truly what keeps me going and excited about doing tutorials.💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞
As always, I LOVE LOVE LOVE this project!! (I wish there were way more hours in my day to do every single one of your inventions.) You're so talented and easy to follow, Tracy. Thank you. 💜💜💜
Aww I appreciate that so so much 💞💞💞💞
You're wearing a curtain. And you make it work! Great job. And I'm glad you're monetized, you deserve it.
Thanks so much!!🤗💗💗💗💗
That is awesome TrAci, you should be making some $$ for your tutorials. You do a great job on your videos…. & your super talented 💕
Aww thank you, I appreciate that so much 🤗🤗🤗🤗
Tracy your mind must go A Thousand Miles a minute I really like that you have on it looks like something Stevie Nicks would wear I'm sure you already have your own label if you don't wow you better get it but you know what is so kind of you to share what you know your knowledge because everything is so expensive nowadays and I love to create things thank you again😊 well time to get busy thanks Tracy
PS you can tell I'm from the Deep South The Way I talk
Lol thank u so so much 🤗🧡💕🧡💕🧡💕
I so appreciate how meticulously you explain things. Thank you.😊 also the smell of ironing is sublime😂
Yes!🥰😍💖💖💖💖
The skirt turned out beautiful!
Thank you so much!!!💕💕💕💕💕

I would wear this beauty!! Don't find curtains like that here in New Zealand , though I did squeal out loud when You cut up the black skirt...it is what I am on the hunt for right now LOL ps I worked in a friends shop and they always said "when You make a mistake>>>turn it into a DESIGN FEATURE!!" Loved How You did that!!
I love that phrase, turn it into a design feature!!!💞💞💞💞💞
@@tmyershandmade978 years ago when I was little , my Aunt was teaching us how to dance in the lounge , she ended up falling flat on the floor ... threw Her hands up into the air like a Flamenco dancer and said "and don't forget , if You fall over MAKE IT INTO THE DANCE!!!" that wisdom has stuck me for over half a century hahhaha
I love that so much lol!💞💞💞💞💞💞💞
That BKACJ LACE dress or whatever it is called is absolutely STUNNING…

@@tmyershandmade978 I just found your channel and will be off to the races as they say.Ive been saving stuff for years just for this 😀 went thrifting yesterday for a few New things....so very excited to get started and feel so great to have your vids in my pocket 😀 I'm an artist and this has lit a flame ...thank you so much 💓
@@littlewingmyoho that is so exciting, I'm very happy for you!!! Thank you so much for watching and reaching out!🤗❤❤❤❤
Your awesome and because of you I will be making clothes. Thank you!!
Aww yay!!!🤗💞💞💞
Трейси! Вы-королева Бохо!!! Каждый раз я получаю большое удовольствие от воплощения ваших фантазий!❤ мне очень нравится наблюдать за процессом рождения новой вещи. Меня удивляет ваша смелость! Вы очень свободная натура и поэтому создаете шедевры! Вы очень элегантная и привлекательная леди! Желаю вам здоровья и продолжайте нас радовать новыми работами!🤗
Aww such a wonderful compliment, thank you so so much!🤗💞💞💞💞
You are really showing us all how to adapt and work through any little errors which can often occur when not using a pattern but instead our own imagination when upcycling etc......and it makes the whole process of creating so freeing and less daunting.
Thank you so so much!!🤗💖💖💖💖
Your creativity amazes me with each video one of your videos I watch!!!❤
Awww thank you!🤗💓💓💓💓
I also smiled whenever you asked if anyone else liked the smell of ironing…my yes I love ironing and the smell ❤! I’m sure it started with my mother ironing when I was a little !!! Infact I’m sure of it because the 13th of February was when I watched this video and the 13th February was the 15th anniversary of her death…just a little reminder from her to say “hello” ❤
Aww I'm sorry about your mother's passing. Now that you mention it, my mother may be the reason I love the smell of ironing, as well.🤗🤗🤗🤗❤
@@tmyershandmade978 I think a pleasant childhood memory of being happy and safe and all is well with the world 💖
@@carolynl5362 I so agree🤗💕💕💕
I found that exact pattern too! It was a smaller panel and I made throw pillows and covers for my foot rests stools for my leather sofa 😊
Sounds wonderful! Love toile!!!🤗💞💞💞💞
Buscaba esta falda desde que vi el Reel.
Ya me he subscrito, y me he dormido tardísimo viendo la belleza que crea con sus manos. Siento no conocer su idioma, porque estoy segura de que comparte mucha sabiduria y belleza, y por lo que he leido, pues también trucos importantes. 😂
Por favor, active la traducción si es posible, y eso le dará incluso mas visitas.
Mil gracias por esa creatividad y la libertad para ponerla en practica. Me ha dado mil ideas para hacer con cosas que tengo pendientes. Que Dios la siga bendiciendo. 🌹🌹🌹
I've tried to research how to translate. It looks like something you have to do on your device🤗❤❤❤
Absolutely stunning skirt well done 👏
Thank you! 😊💞💞💞💞
I have been refashioning clothes for several years and I find your creativity so inspiring. When working on items without a pattern I also have to rework something because I miscalculated or didn’t think through something. Go easy on yourself! Because it’s your own creation there is no right or wrong! Keep the great content coming!
Thank you, I appreciate that so much 🤗🤗🤗🤗
I really really love that black n white curtain, the pattern reminds me of one of my Ren Faire skirts❤ Ms Liz from The Frocke Shoppe makes these fabulous amazing 25 yard peasant skirts with 4 wide ruffled bands of fabric at the bottom, 2 of which are made from little rectangular boxes of different fabrics that she cuts out, stitches together, then alternates them with a solid ruffled band- they're gorgeous! The one I have is reversed, the top is white and has black n white fabrics layered at the bottom, and I can't see the details on yours, but it reminds me of it, but mine is just kind of a vine pattern❤
Sounds wonderful!🤗❤❤❤
OMG Woman, you are sooo creative!!!
Thank you so much!🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
Your talent WOW's me at every video. I look every day to see if you put up a new one. You are the most inspirational person on YT for me. Others can give you technical details (which, of course, you do as well) but very few give me inspiration. OH, please, please, please keep your channel going. I absolutely love it.
Thank you so so much for your kind words💞💞💞💞
Traci, you are a welcome place to go to on youtube. You can never have enough lace. I am hooked, and by seeing you, I am a fan. 🏆
I appreciate that so much! Thank you 🤗💕💕💕💕💕
Lovely. You could have used it to upholster dining chairs,ottoman too with a staple gun. Another idea is bedcovers with two curtain lengths.
Great ideas!🤗🤗🤗💞💞
Beyond stunning ❤
Thank you so much 🤗💖💖💖💖💖
So lovely all put together. Thank you for showing us all the steps.
Aww thank you so much 🤗💕💕💕
@@tmyershandmade978 you're welcome
New subscriber here! I LOVE your tutorials... I learn so much (like when you took the front of your sewing machine off... whaaaht??) and you make sewing seem way less intimidating! I have always been artistic and crafty, but like you, I'm a rule-breaker. I have a request; my hubby passed away about 3 years ago and I still have some of his button-down shirts. I just can't let go of them plus they are really cool fabric (he was a snazzy dresser!). They are huge on me and I feel like I could make some sort of badass dresses out of them. I'm totally into the boho thing, too. Could you make a tutorial on upcycling an oversized men's shirt into a dress?
Hi there, welcome! Thank you for subscribing. I'm so sorry to hear about your husband. I'm including two links, first is a men's shirt I turned into a dress and the second is a flannel shirt that I added ruffles to. The flannel could be any men's shirt and any length.

@@tmyershandmade978 Thank you so much! I think I might incorporate the two ... top portion of the first video with the bottom of the second and a bell sleeve. My hubby wore 2xl and I'm roughly the same size as you! Plus, if I screw it up, I could always learn how to quilt, lol😆
Lol sounds like a great idea!🥰🥰🥰🥰
Thanks for this. I also want to make somethings from my dear late husband's clothes.
I like how you did your. Waist band never saw that before so cleaver just love your videos
Thank you 🤗💕💕💕💕💕
Thank you for keeping it real!
Love how it turned out. I think Bob Ross said something about “happy little accidents”. 🤷♀️🤣love the skirt montage.
Thank you so so much 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
I love all the photos at the end!
Thank you!💖💖💖💖
Never gonna lose faith in you. You have taught me so much in just a few days of watching your videos. I am amazed at all the details you explain how to do. Things I wanted to do but just didn't really know what goes first or what order to do things in. Amazing creations you have there.
You are so sweet, thank you 🤗😘💞🤗😘💞
I love skirts! I think it is so easy to use.. thanks Tracy!!🙌🙏💖🙏🙌
Thank you so much! I love skirts, too!🥰🥰🥰
Simply gorgeous!!
Absolutely love this! Im going to try this with a blue toile round tablecloth.
Ooooh pretty!!!🤗❤❤❤
H Traci, beautiful job, I love that your a leftie, it makes it really easy for me to follow your guidence, I did a wider band on the waist and threaded the elastic through with a safety pin. I'm always looking for short cuts😂.
Love it! Thank you so much 🤗💞💞💞
Amazing skirt!!! You are very inspiring. My favorite part in this video is how enthusiastic you explain other ways to use a ruffle like this. I kept thinking "scarf! What an awesome scarf that would be!" Thank you so much for sharing. 🥰
Thank you so so much 💞💞💞💞
Yes, a scarf! made with velvets, lace, silks...😍😍😍
Another Fabulous work of art❤ Thank you for sharing your process.❤

@@tmyershandmade978 it's an umbrella skirt, I think but all sides are square. Not rounded like a circle skirt. Just wanted your take on it. Love your videos
