Annika Victoria 😃👍❤ by the way I think you won the challenge because the outfit you made is fabulous and you used 2 of the clothes and she used only 1. By the way I'm waiting for a new video😜
for the dress i'd make it knee length as you said but add diamond cutouts on the back of the dress, some big some small and scattered around the back of the dress.
Great video as always! You could turn the other skirt into an off the shoulder 70's style boho top? That would look great on you and also would be useful for the warm weather. Keep up the amazing work!
Love your videos! That lace-trimmed petticoat you didn't use might make a very cool-looking peasant top or off-shoulder blouse....just an idea. I hope you and April do more of these challenges. This one was AWESOME!
You have seriously saved me so much grief! I made a pair of shorts previously and while they're 'okay' I'm not very thrilled with how they turned out and couldn't figure out what went wrong. Now I have this video and the one you referred to by WithWendy as a guide for my next attempt. THANK YOU!!! ^_^
Rae Prite ahh good luck! I also could NEVER get shorts right for like 4 years of attempting them hahaha - if you have a butt it's so important to do two separate front and back pieces omg. Wendy's tutorial helped so much!
Annika I think the white lace petticoat would make an AWESOME kimono cardigan! Just an idea but it could even go with the shorts and top if you did, and since it's so lightweight it could make a good kimono style cover up! ~ Aimee xx
I love how supporting and kind the youtube sewing community is. It's so heartwarming to see you do a collab with coolipra and give a shoutout to withwendy
It was awesome seeing a collaboration!!! I loved it 💓 I found Annika first and found April much later. I would of loved having that dress as is!😍 oh btw why the change? you us to love wearing dresses
Wow! I have just rediscovered this absolute *Gem* of a vlog/mystery thrifted transfo. between you & April Yang (Coolirpa)! Love, love - *Love* it! It's fun, though, seeing your slightly older vids/vlogs where you were still finding your way with your overlocker/Serger - Now your always like: 'Hey, Guys: Overlocker? Serger? They're just like the *Best* things *Ev-er*!!!' Also, you make mistakes & your totally cool with saying - 'Yeah! I screwed up! It happens to all of us - it's how you learn, from you mistakes so don't freak out!' .. I *So* love that, it makes me feel a whole helluva lot better about making my own mistakes & just getting into my style pile/sewing pile/stash. Even though I haven't broken out the sewing machine just yet, I'm clearing the decks of other chores to justify getting there! And it is all thanks to you, April Yang, the Sorry Girls & more. Love hugs'n kisses! Ladies (& Gents): Don't be afraid - Drive to that thrift store/charity shop & *Dive In* to the 'Style Pile'!!!!!
That petticoat would make a really awesome high waited skirt, like one that sits just under your bust. It'd also look really pretty with the green gingham top
Turned out super cute! You could've turned the petticoat into an off the shoulder top and kept the dress (well taken off the crochet flower) because it fit you so well
i would have done the hight waisted shorts thing but added lace from the petticoat around yhe legholes then used yhe rest of the petticoat to make a bralette removed the flower from the ginham dress and put it on the bralletge
Sunny Sardar I know, in a perfect world I would have both - but I definitely will wear the top more just because I don't wear dresses all that much anymore!
The petticoat looks long enough to be turned into some kind of mini bohemian flowy dress ^^ if the white feels to much I'd recommend tea dying it for a more subtle color. And also I LOVE the shorts! Pants are still the one thing I haven't dared to make on my own.
jenpower You should look for the make thrift buy where she makes the shorts with the lace around the bottom with the garter hooks. OMG those are to die for!
Awesome job! I think you would look incredible rocking the 1940's and 50's styles. Seeing you with platinum blonde hair styled in that era with the clothing style made by you would make guys drool. Hello from Kansas City, kansas.
kitty lannister Villawood Anglicare and salvos burwood and Vinnies summer hill and Glebe markets and Katoomba cancer council op shop and Nowra op shops!
You and April should do a series of these, that would be so cool, you could have different budgets every time and a different theme like childrens dress up, make a bag or purse, make a useful household item, evening wear
Loved it, though I was kind of sad to see the dress cut up. It looked so pretty on you already! It did make a great top though. I like the idea of just shortening the petticoat thing and wearing it under your skirts so a little lace can peek out.
Wow this turned out so nice! Expertly done Annika! Also this is a request, but if possible, could you make a tutorial on something with puffy sleeves? They're my worst nightmare cause they're so confusing @_@ but you explain everything so easily! you don't have to, but it'll be nice if you could ^^!!
Hi Annika, first of all I really like what you are doing with sharing your knowledge as you learn, and am a subscriber to your channel. As a fellow self-learner, though, hope you do not mind if I share some sewing thoughts / feedback every now and then to cross-fertilise from each other's learnings via trial and error. Food for thought, would the shorts look more like ready-to-wear (RTW) if the zip were placed to one side (usually the left side) in the way that one would on a zippered A-line skirt? That is the usual positioning for invisible zips like these on pants as well as skirts. For a centre front zip, usually it would be expected to be a jeans-style fly zip. That being said, maybe someday you will make these shorts again with a fly and wow everyone with that tutorial!
Thumbs up right away for the collaboration. SO Excited. I can't remember if I found her from your channel or yours from hers.. but it was something like that :) Also that gingam (spelling?) dress - so pretty.. I think the outfit is great, but that dress was great just the way it was too.
I loved this! I love April too and also agree she is a wizard. Everything she transforms turns amazing. you all have inspired me to incorporate more sewing into my channel!
Ok, now, I just realized that some of my favorite sewers of youtube (Annika, April, and Wendy) actually know each other and might actually collaborate (more)! I'm so excited!
Such a cute summer outfit & it looks great on you! Maybe use the skirt material for long lacy '70's style shirt sleeves with another material for the body of the shirt? Like you did for your holo shirt.
ohmygod i absolutely love what you did with the articles of clothing aaa ~ you look super cute wearing the gingham top with the highways sited shorts plus matching headband
omg that dress fit you like a glove! LOVE WHAT YOU DID WITH THEM!!! perfect combination for summer
coolirpa I was kinda sad about cutting it up hahaha but I know that I'm going to wear it much much more as a top!
love you both! so happy this happened!
Annika Victoria you should have put the flower on the headband
Yaeli Hyams oooh that would have been pretty cute! Maybe I'll do that! I was thinking of making it into a brooch as well :)
Annika Victoria 😃👍❤ by the way I think you won the challenge because the outfit you made is fabulous and you used 2 of the clothes and she used only 1. By the way I'm waiting for a new video😜
WOOOO YEAHHHHH
coolirpa ilyyyyy
coolirpa I love you so much your amazing and you should be on fashion runway
coolirpa luv u xoxoxox
victoria wright Did you mean project runway? and i totaly agree she could probably win it!
ANNIKA TURN THE PETTICOAT INTO AN OFF THE SHOULDER RUFFLE TOP!!!!!
Taylor Tran yo this is a good idea too
I was about to suggest the same thing.
Taylor Tran YES PLEASE
that'd be hella good to see tbh
Jasmine Is A Whale I SEE THAT PROFILE PICTURE
i almost teared up she you cut into that dress. it looked great on you
Aww that dress was super cute, I would've kept it and just made it knee length.
Krystal L I would've cut the skirt into panels (not all the way) and I would've used a pleated stiff greener fabric in order to make the skirt poofy!
OMG best idea ever.
for the dress i'd make it knee length as you said but add diamond cutouts on the back of the dress, some big some small and scattered around the back of the dress.
You SERIOUSLY know how to dress for you body. That outfit looks spectacular on you!
I think the petticoat would be a CUTE flowy, bohemian top.
Especially the bottom of the petticoat
Great video as always! You could turn the other skirt into an off the shoulder 70's style boho top? That would look great on you and also would be useful for the warm weather. Keep up the amazing work!
Love your videos! That lace-trimmed petticoat you didn't use might make a very cool-looking peasant top or off-shoulder blouse....just an idea. I hope you and April do more of these challenges. This one was AWESOME!
It turned out so 21st century meets 1950s. Looks amazing!
white skirt into a long (ish) kimono cardigan OR a flowy off-shoulder blouse OR a flowy cold shoulder top with a type of bell sleeves :3
Francess Angela Santibanez YES TO BELL SLEEVES EEE!
Francess Angela Santibanez that's what i was thinkkkking
What's great is that she made actual pockets that are big enough to use! Best fashion designer ever!
I love your videos and instructions. I feel like if I ever wanted to make something I could use your instructions and do a pretty good job.
remainingembers yes!! her instructions are so awesome!! I've made a circle skirt using her tutorial!
gracie lou0717 Yeah they're really clear and easier to follow than others!
Yeah, they really are!!!
You could totally turn the skirt into a cardigan!! Like a flowy one that has a flared sleeve!!
That petticoat fabric would probably turn out super cute if you managed to turn it into a ruffly tank top or something!
You have seriously saved me so much grief! I made a pair of shorts previously and while they're 'okay' I'm not very thrilled with how they turned out and couldn't figure out what went wrong. Now I have this video and the one you referred to by WithWendy as a guide for my next attempt. THANK YOU!!! ^_^
Rae Prite ahh good luck! I also could NEVER get shorts right for like 4 years of attempting them hahaha - if you have a butt it's so important to do two separate front and back pieces omg. Wendy's tutorial helped so much!
Annika, it turns out so cute! it looks really annika's style! love this combination.
Venezia Lowis 😁❤️❤️
+Annika Victoria can you try and make the sorts in ep.4 plz (/°-°)/
Love seeing two wizards collaborate, even when they're on opposite sides of the world 💖
the struggle when annika and coolirpa upload at the same time and you dont know which video you should click first :o
YUP! #TheStruggleIsReal
ikr
Maya Sezen yes but what we all want to know is.... Who did you choose first 😏 who is your ultimate favourite? ( I'm joking obviously!)
Literally the only two diy sewing people i watch happen to work together. Love it!
The white skirt is perfect to do an off shoulder top. I love the outfit. Preeeeeeetty
The white skirt would be a perfect kimono
omg, i thought the same thing!
Sydney Bishop ikr!!!
Annika I think the white lace petticoat would make an AWESOME kimono cardigan! Just an idea but it could even go with the shorts and top if you did, and since it's so lightweight it could make a good kimono style cover up! ~ Aimee xx
I love how supporting and kind the youtube sewing community is. It's so heartwarming to see you do a collab with coolipra and give a shoutout to withwendy
The white skirt would make a killer off the shoulder top 💜
make the underskirt into a sun dress, with a high, even empire waste. i think tray would be really cute.
ok this is a wierd suggestion but could you make a prom dress on make thrift buy
Maicy Warwick Thats such a good idea! :)
Thanks! :)
Absolutely.
It would have been cool if you had turned the petticoat into cardigan type thing with some super 70's sleeves
Squid Bloop :3 awwwww YES OMG
Squid Bloop :3 the lace MUST become 70s style sleeves. This is such a good suggestion THANK YOU!
when she cut the dress my heart hurt
With the white skirt use it to make a white lace off the shoulder float top
The petticoat would make a very pretty off the shoulder dress or something similar
The white one could maybe be transformed into a very cute summery top?
It would be cool if you could make the white skirt into a pirate princess style shirt/blouse!
the petticoat would be super cute under the gingham skirt tbh
"Did you just send me a weddingdress?" i just started laughing😂😂
You could probably use the long wedding dress thing to make a flowy romper :)
It was awesome seeing a collaboration!!! I loved it 💓 I found Annika first and found April much later. I would of loved having that dress as is!😍 oh btw why the change? you us to love wearing dresses
Gabriela Barba I don't know! Just happened in my brain haha. I don't like dressing as super girly anymore. But I still love it when other people do.
Wow! I have just rediscovered this absolute *Gem* of a vlog/mystery thrifted transfo. between you & April Yang (Coolirpa)! Love, love - *Love* it!
It's fun, though, seeing your slightly older vids/vlogs where you were still finding your way with your overlocker/Serger - Now your always like:

Coolirpa, Annika and Wendy need to collaborate and make a Fashion SOS show!
loveeee how they look together!!!! the colors look so beautiful with your skin
Yasss, omg I'm subscribe to both of you and this is so amazing to see a collab!!!
That petticoat would make a really awesome high waited skirt, like one that sits just under your bust. It'd also look really pretty with the green gingham top
The greatest collab finally happened
Hanna Morales 😁😁😁
As soon as I saw you wearing the dress I thought it had a great pinup vibe. And you totally used it! So cool!
You're both the two people I watch the most!
So adorable!!!! Another awesome creation. Can't wait to see what you do with the petticoat!
I was already subscribed to you both :D got really excited about seeing this collab!
Me too!!
Andrea May ditto!!
Andrea May iii
My two favorite youttubers are getting together! I have never enough of trifted transformation, I'm so excited you are also doing it.
TWO OF MY FAVORITE DIY-ERS!!!!!
for the left over lace skirt thing, you can do what you did in episode 21 of Make Thrift Buy and make the lace shorts! those were super cute
Great video! Love your collabs. Keep up the great work!
I also love the collab challenges, hopefully you do more in the future! Love you Annika!!!!
The white Petticoat could be a nice base for a light vest or bolero with wide sleeves...
And also, you seriously have such a flattering body shape
HOW YOU SO PRETTY
The crochet flower would be really cute on the headband!
The white skirt could make a super cute dress
Turned out super cute! You could've turned the petticoat into an off the shoulder top and kept the dress (well taken off the crochet flower) because it fit you so well
i would have done the hight waisted shorts thing but added lace from the petticoat around yhe legholes then used yhe rest of the petticoat to make a bralette removed the flower from the ginham dress and put it on the bralletge
I was so excited to see two of my favourite DIY TH-camrs collaborating! This was fun to watch!
Came from coolirpa;s channel!
Kinda wished you kept the green dress untainted! super cute
Sunny Sardar I know, in a perfect world I would have both - but I definitely will wear the top more just because I don't wear dresses all that much anymore!
Awesome! Love both your channel and April's so this was great...and the little shoutout to WithWendy, who I also love. You three are marvelous.
the white skirt might make a cute summer dress?
The petticoat looks long enough to be turned into some kind of mini bohemian flowy dress ^^ if the white feels to much I'd recommend tea dying it for a more subtle color.
And also I LOVE the shorts! Pants are still the one thing I haven't dared to make on my own.
I found your channel through coolirpa and I'm so glad I checked it out! You have the same body type as me and I love your sense of style! :)
jenpower welcome! ☺️
jenpower
You should look for the make thrift buy where she makes the shorts with the lace around the bottom with the garter hooks. OMG those are to die for!
Awesome job! I think you would look incredible rocking the 1940's and 50's styles. Seeing you with platinum blonde hair styled in that era with the clothing style made by you would make guys drool. Hello from Kansas City, kansas.
Could you make a tutorial on how to make a flannel?
The two ladies who are almost entirely responsible for every sewing project I have done so far lol, dream collab!
GIVE ME THAT OUTFIT😍😍😍 it looks like the 50s
for the white skirt you could always make it into a cute crop top/off shoulder top
the petty coat could be turned into a bohemian off the shoulder top
Ruby Annas or a boho empire-waisted mini dress?
whataboutredlorry yea it could
Super cute!! I love how you also showed the technical side as well. Now I know what type of measurements to include when making shorts like this! :D
Where do you go thrifting the most? there's only a vinnies around the area I live (nsw) I,m trying to find more towns with good thrift stores
kitty lannister Villawood Anglicare and salvos burwood and Vinnies summer hill and Glebe markets and Katoomba cancer council op shop and Nowra op shops!
thank you! Katoomba and Lithgow are the only ones I've been to as I live in the area
kitty lannister Katoomba cancer council is Sooooo good for sewing materials and fabrics!!
You and April should do a series of these, that would be so cool, you could have different budgets every time and a different theme like childrens dress up, make a bag or purse, make a useful household item, evening wear

Oh my gosh! U & April are my 2 favorite thrifted clothing upcycling channels & I'm so happy u guys decided to do a collab!
Thumbs up right away for the collaboration. SO Excited. I can't remember if I found her from your channel or yours from hers.. but it was something like that :) Also that gingam (spelling?) dress - so pretty.. I think the outfit is great, but that dress was great just the way it was too.
Melissa Biemans I know I wish I could have both! 😭
Omg you look absolutely stunning in your into, dude that outfit and hair and makeup are amazing. the tee and overalls look cute and casual
you should make a bell sleeve shirt with the petticoat☺️
I loved this! I love April too and also agree she is a wizard. Everything she transforms turns amazing. you all have inspired me to incorporate more sewing into my channel!
You can make a peasant top out of the white skirt.
Ok, now, I just realized that some of my favorite sewers of youtube (Annika, April, and Wendy) actually know each other and might actually collaborate (more)! I'm so excited!
She looks like a ninja in the thumbnail. The silouette
nnatit hahahah that's what I thought too (with the headband right?) and was like "yesssssss"
You could use the petticoat as an extender slip for short skirt or dresses or even use it to turn a sweater into dress
maybe you could turn the skirt into a super cool flowy tank top that would be really pretty :))
So happy that my favourite two youtubers have finally done a collab!
Will the merch be shipped worldwide?
Jessica Fernandez YES!
Yay ! Thank you :D
Such a cute summer outfit & it looks great on you! Maybe use the skirt material for long lacy '70's style shirt sleeves with another material for the body of the shirt? Like you did for your holo shirt.
Loved this Annika! Perhaps the petticoat could be turned into a kimono, that would look really cute!
This is so great! I watch both of your channels regularly and I love that you guys collaborated. Hope there are many more collabs to come!!!
SO excited for a dftba store!
Tracie Irene eeeee thank you!
my gosh interactions between my most favorite people who really does diy!
Annika, you should turn that white shirt into an off the shoulder top or dress. the flow is too perfect for it and great for a spring.
New subscriber. I love videos like this! I love to sew but I am a beginner!
Elizabeth Lauren make sure you check out the beginner's playlist on my channel's homepage! 😉❤️
ohmygod i absolutely love what you did with the articles of clothing aaa ~ you look super cute wearing the gingham top with the highways sited shorts plus matching headband
You look like a movie star from the 70's, absolutely gorgeous. :-)
The collab we’ve all been waiting for. You two have gotten me into sewing 💕
Yayyyyy a new video!!!!!!😍😍😍😍😍
