Thanks for supporting the #sewupcycle24 sewing challenge ❤ can’t wait to see what you make. Love the green cardigan you are wearing today x

[@beth12svist]

That turned out great - I like how you used the cut off border for the ties!

[@sequingirlie]

Thank you so much

[@deb.m.7458]

Love the crochet blanket. Would keep it in tank for snuggling. Really cute dressing gown ❤

[@sequingirlie]

Thank you x

[@loribarton7480]

You just motivated me to go through my closet and find how to change things I don’t wear into something different. Thanks!

[@sequingirlie]

That makes me so happy xx

A former coworker gave me at least 5 pairs of her husband's jeans that were too small for him. 3 pairs still had the store tags attacher, the other 2 were practically new. I was going to cut them apart for a jean jacket, but decided to donate them to a local thrift store. I just decided some man could really use some brand new jeans at great prices. If they were old jeans i would definitely have turned them into a jacket. You are very inspirational in your refashions. I currently have 4 men's shirts to refashion. My favourite upcycle project was turning a duffle bag into a fanny pack. It looks just like high end bags.

Thank you so much. Love your ideas. I'm working on a man's shirt recycle at the moment.

'...clothing destiny...' - I think like this too. 😁

[@sequingirlie]

Yay xx

I’m getting inspired. My latest upcycle was taking the top of denim overalls that were too tight and adding a gathered skirt to it. It came out great

[@sequingirlie]

Thank you so much xx

For your Boden dress I think you should make a shirt with a ruffle bottom. Or something similar. It's got really cool, retro Hawaiian shirt vibes

[@sequingirlie]

Ooh thank you for the idea.

[@sewlittletime]

Brilliant vlog Sam, thank you! Love how the robe turned out, such a lovely tablecloth fabric. Xx

[@sequingirlie]

Thank you so much xx

[@Lorij83]

Your dressing gown turned out great.

[@sequingirlie]

Thank you so much

[@lovesredsews]

Some great ideas Sam. Love how the robe turned out, super stylish ❤

[@sequingirlie]

Thank you xx

[@patharris9530]

You are so clever! I wish I could do what you do.

[@sequingirlie]

That is very kind. Not everything goes to plan xx

oh I love the crochet blanket so much!!! I would be tempted to keep most of it as a blanket and possibly use 4 squares for the front of a top? it seems a shame to cut up, especially if there's a chance you won't be able to control any unravelling.... Just a thought. Also think the Wonder Woman is fab!! has to be across the back of a jacket, surely?! love the idea of them bursting out from behind the fabric.

[@sequingirlie]

Ooh yes that's a good idea Sarah. I am still thinking about the crochet blanket xx

[@janetwilliams7705]

Thank you!

[@sequingirlie]

😊

[@loisg2316]

Some very interesting items you have made, love how two dresses in particular turned out. The robe has really nice potential. I don’t want to be rude, but be careful of the flower placement over your boobs!

[@sequingirlie]

Lol that's not rude it's always a risk with certain patterns x

[@louisethompson2861]

For the crochet cardigan if you can disconnect some of the squares you could reassemble panels into a longline cardigan like this one at Ophelia talks crochet - her daisy Cardigan th-cam.com/video/da4l5kbcX3A/w-d-xo.htmlsi=5YJbtmaTBOqhsVpq. As long as the squares are intact you could probably sew the main seams.

[@sequingirlie]

Oooh thank you for the tip.

Re the crocheted blanket ... you could try steeking it where you want to cut. Lots of steeking😂 videos on You Tube, usually done with knitted garments but I imagine it would work equally well with crochet. ❤😁

[@sequingirlie]

Thank you for the tip. I will look into that xx
