  • If years have passed and you still haven't worn some clothes in your closet, it's time to give them a new life! Instead of donating mine and buying new clothes, I decided to just change up what I already owned to SAVE MONEY and have a NEW wardrobe. Hope you enjoy :) #diyfashion #reuse #coolirpa

    Would love to see a video with some of your failed projects, and maybe watch you redo it

      So funny, I agree. I am learning to sew and one of my friends was making a bag that didn't act right, she just cut away a little of this, adjusted a little of that and to see that was so liberating lol It let me know that mistakes don't have to be permanent, you can make some cool things from the mistakes.

    You should make videos of going into other people's closets and transforming clothes they want to get rid of into something fresh.

    Girl this gave me marge simpson vibes. Remember that episode when she gets that really expensive pink suit and keeps tailoring and altering it to other pieces. Love your creations!!!

    This is wonderful! So environmentally sustainable to alter the clothes you already own instead of promoting fast fashion and tossing away clothes you no longer like! Bravo!

    Love all your transformations . The floral fabric used for the last 2 is especially pretty ... Glad you repurposed it for 2 different tops...You are the cutest !! Thanks for all your fabulous ideas !!!

    I love this channel. While my tailoring skills are minimal, I have successfully altered 4 tees and shirts from the enthusiasm and great instructions on these videos. Thank you!

  • @aquaticangel3380
    @aquaticangel3380 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I am just addicted to watching these, it gives me this sudden creative boost and I love it.
    I can’t do anything with that creativity, but it’s there!

  • @Babeeex
    @Babeeex 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    You are very skilful; I love the way you just pick up the fabric & sew, without pinning or tacking - just the way I do it (except it works for you!)

  • @LaineyBug2020
    @LaineyBug2020 5 ปีที่แล้ว +80

    Love it! I keep seeing adds for these wrap dresses that you loop around one shoulder, wrap it around & loop it over the other. I thought, maybe you could make them out of old sheets from the thrift store with funky patterns? If you could make some as a test run, that would be awesome!

    • @alyssar272
      @alyssar272 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Buying old sheets from the thrift store is NEVER a good idea unless they're in an unopened package

  • @DebbieOre
    @DebbieOre 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thank you, thank you, thank you! It was like you read my mind, I've been searching & searching for current diy transformation videos and you came THROUGH!

  • @sonyaj66
    @sonyaj66 5 ปีที่แล้ว +31

    Love the transformations; the finished items all look delightful and flattering on you! I must say that those pants - and the way you've styled them with the shirt - I love the most! Talk about both stylish and comfortable...and something my 53-y.o. self could wear.
    I also just want to thank you for all these videos - since finding your channel, and a couple of others - I've been inspired to do more sewing and specifically, modifying or completely re-purposing both thrift store clothes and those from my own wardrobe. Keep up the great work!

  • @JDPewPewPew

    @katchaish 5 ปีที่แล้ว +38

    Wow! The first diy is such a great idea. 😁✨ It’s so simple and easy. I have a dress that has a high neck too and I notice I don’t wear it as much either but it’s too cute to get rid of. Thanks for the video! 💕
