I just found you yesterday and enjoy your upcycle videos. You love colors, patterns and take risks which makes upcycle really fun! I can do the basic sewing and got into upcycle a few months ago. I am hooked and proudly wear clothes I upcycled myself. Watch your videos give me fresh ideas.
I love your upcycle videos and could watch them all day! The longer the better. And the fact that you are such a fun and lovely person is the best part 😊 You take risks, I admire and respect you for that. The green dress turned peekaboo skirt and bonus crop top my favorite. It's (skirt) a little sexy but totally tasteful. You could wear it to a summer picnic or just every day. And the Free People set everything you said during that part: yes, definitely agree. Thank you for sharing your projects it really gets me inspired and motivated (: ❤
The cup holder in the tote is such a great idea. I wish I thought of that in the tote I just made. In mine I used stiff black foam from the wraps you get with some appliances and put between the purse and lining on the bottom to give more stability. Also used leftover ribbon to make places to attach my keys so they don't get lost in the shuffle .. Many great ideas here. Thanks
Try this, it will help keep the fabric from stretching out all over the place so you get a more accurate cut: Place a sheet of paper underneath your fabric before you lay it out to cut. So bottom layer is paper, second layer is fabric, third layer is some kind of weight to keep the fabric still. The paper will allow you to reposition your work without moving things out of place. You can slide the paper around (when needed) and the weights will keep the fabric in the position you originally placed it. You’ll have to cut through both the paper and fabric but it’s worth it. Great 👍 🎉upcycles.
Cross stitch is making a comeback. I am that stitcher. Your flips were awesome. I loved the pink dress at the end but the green dress, and the white shirt were amazing.
A walking foot would have helped you with the tote bag. I like the idea of a water bottle holder so I'm going to use your idea...But! I'm going to use wide elastic instead of the actual cup. when I saw the beginning of the video I thought you were going to show how to make summer clothes from warm and comfy autumn clothing but was just as happy to see that the video waw about taking care and using your stash. thank you for your video.
Love the flower petal dress idea! I think a fitted shift dress in a sturdier fabric would work better as a base. Perhaps sewing a nude netting in would protect the integrity of the cut out, while still providing the same effect. Thanks for the idea!
I enjoyed your video. I make a lot of totes. I love how you used the cross stitch as a pocket. Use a walking foot to go through all the layers on your tote. You might try placing your straps a little closer to the center, so the bag doesn't gap. I love how you just go for it, no fear.
I so pleased that you got a new video about summer do you think your clothes ever go down at least you trying to make use of your up cycling clothes good luck ❤❤😊🎉
Hannah, your bravery to take a risk and it works out, is full credit to you. I would have worn something like that dress when I was younger. I made shorts, years ago, that didn't have side seams, but has eyelet holes and laced up so the thigh showed a little. Shocking, well I was 30 !!
The tablecloth fabric was too substantial to make a flow-y dress. Patterns have fabric suggestions for a reason. I'm glad you figured that out, and the finished dress is great! Kudos for the petal dress. Maybe the petals would lay flatter if you had hand-sewed them on? Good job on all the projects!
I'm really glad this video was suggested and I clicked on it... I've only just started learning to sew but hopefully one day I can do cool stuff like this! That tote bag especially was just *chefs kiss*
Back in the 70's, the maternity clothes were desined by Omar the Tent Maker. You were still supposed to hide the fact that there might be a child on the way... You did an amazing job on your clothes, thanks for sharing with us!
Lol, piles never get smaller... It is the nature of the pile,... To grow as they shrink, and shriink as they grow...and so on and so forth til the end of time. 🙃❣️
I had 2 piece outfit I liked, but the top never fit right. So, I just wore the skirt and donated the top to my church clothing exchange. A few years later, l turned the skirt into throw pillows for my couch.
And you mentioned the linen fabric was getting away from you while trying to sew the seams. After cutting the linen pieces, before closing the seams with its matching fabric, stay stitch your edges. I think that’s what it’s called. In other words, if your seam allowance is 1/2 an inch, stitch along all your edges at 1/4 inch (anything less than your seam allowance). This helps lock the the weaves in place as though you’re creating a faux selvedge.
Sharing an idea, have you ever considered making a 'beanbag' chair or cushion. You could fill it with your pile so that it has a use while you are storing it. It might work.
Haha, we’ll I suppose you can be into at any time, it just feels like that’s when it was really big, I know my mom made a TON of cross-stitch during that time!
Is there any way you can show how to make things larger? That's my usual problem - I've bought things that are supposed to be my size, and they aren't, and I like them too much to get rid of them.
Ok, I'm sure you've been told this a million times, but you look so much like Lauren Daigle. I think that every time I watch your videos. Maybe I even already said that. I'm sorry if I did. Anyway, you did such an amazing job with all of these! We have very similar body types, so I definitely like high waisted bottoms with a little bit of a cropped top also. That's so cool that you saved someone else's handmade creation from the landfill, and turned it into something new and useful! The dress turned out so great!!!! I can't even imagine what it would have turned out like if I had tried to make something like that. It wouldn't be good, I can tell you that much. LOL
The see through set. You may try changing the colour? I think one of the reasons you're not happy about it, is it's too close to your skin tone, it drains colour away from your complextion! Also you could incorporate the top into some as a built in bra.
That tote bag is the coolest thing ever. I love that you not only rescued the cross-stitch but honoured it. Plus it inspired me to make a backpack
New subscriber! I did watch the whole thing! 😁
Love the tablecloth dress, the needlepoint bag and the flower dress! How fun!

I love that dress from the table cloth. I love the colors and fit on you. I also love the knitted strap, very creative.
oh my goddd im so obsessed with that table cloth dress. those are my fave colorsss. those cross stitches are so beautiful wow...
Glad you rescued the needlework. I feel the same way. I have incorporated them into bags, pillows, and aprons.Nice job on the dresses!
Just found your channel and I’m so happy I did. I love these upcycle videos. Thank you for being you :)
I have say thank you for saving that piece of needlework. Being I have done a lot of cross stitch. I know the time that was put into making it.
Last dresss turned out amazing!!! ❤
The bag is cute. I love light houses.
What a great idea for that green skirt, peek-a- boo cute. The green top is cute too.
I love your ideas. Your energy is fun.
My favorites were the tablecloth dress and the big flower dress. I was shocked at how well the big flower cut out dress turned out. Great job!
I love that you are fearless! Thank you for sharing your process. You created some very cute summer outfits.
I loved all of your upcycle projects.
Congrats 🎉❤ My favourites were the tablecloth dress, the needlework bag, and the flower embellished cut out dress ❤ Fantastic 😊

I love that petal dress. All your up cycles are beautiful. You are so creative
Hooray,sttack THE PILE. Always a winning plan
THE PILE gets away from me too often.

That’s a good idea!

Great! It always makes me so sad to see people’s hard work at a thrift store! Thank you! 🩷
I loved all of these. The pink dress as the end really surprised me. I was sure that just wasn't going to come together, but you pulled it off.
I love the way you share your upcycled clothes. Thank you for that. It gives me inspiration to do the same!
Love this video and the projects!!
You did such a good job and you’re right, the pile looks no different😂. I look forward to part 2😊 thank you so much for sharing!🎉
Love that plaid, 1st dress
Good idea for built in cup holder
Great job up-cycling. .
All your projects are amazing! Very original🤩 Thank you for the inspiration🤗
I liked the tablecloth dress the best
Great job on all your projects. That pink dress!
Oh my goodness, the cup holder in the tote bag is genius! I love your upcycles so much. You are very inspiring!
Ooooooh! The tablecloth dress is so well done😍😍😍

I had that TABLECLOTH! Still do maybe, Kohl’s in the early 2000.🤟🏻

Omar the Tent Maker 😂😂😂

Yes, top is great with jeans.
That was really fun! You made the pink dress work! I wonder if you put the flower on the other side it would have been easier? And fatter petals?
Yeah I think if I had it to do again I would make the petals wider so that the flower shape is a bit more filled out!
I had 2 piece outfit I liked, but the top never fit right. So, I just wore the skirt and donated the top to my church clothing exchange. A few years later, l turned the skirt into throw pillows for my couch.

That’s really smart, thanks for the tip!!
I was really into counted cross stitch around that time
Sharing an idea, have you ever considered making a 'beanbag' chair or cushion. You could fill it with your pile so that it has a use while you are storing it. It might work.
❤I hope you are okay. I miss watching your videos! Come back!!
i love the colour i will have a go to use a sewing pattern amanda from the uk 🤩😍
The pattern was long to allow for the pulling up created by the big baby bump. I love those old patterns.
Omg you’re so right!! How did I not think of that?? 🤦🏻♀️
I was into cross stitch...and I didn't realise it was just a 90s thing!
I learned cross stitch in 1975!!!
Haha, we’ll I suppose you can be into at any time, it just feels like that’s when it was really big, I know my mom made a TON of cross-stitch during that time!

Last time I went to Marblehead it looked like that 😂
Haha I have never been, I did look up pictures afterward and I realized that the date is likely when it was built lol
Back in the day, you weren’t allowed to wear tight clothes when you were pregnant.
Ok, I'm sure you've been told this a million times, but you look so much like Lauren Daigle. I think that every time I watch your videos. Maybe I even already said that. I'm sorry if I did.

I have never actually been told that lol, but what a compliment 😍 thanks so much for all your kind words!! 💗💗
@@HannahCatherineMain Really?! I thought for sure people probably tell you that all the time!

That’s a good point, I never even thought about the color being wrong for me!
Make the pants into a long skirt.
