oh my goodness this turned out even better than i thought it would by looking at the thumbnail. probably one of my favourites now. i hope there are prom dresses similar to this, i would love to wear it.
But she gives a person wonderful ideas on what you could do with similar items. She makes her own patterns, but you can buy patterns and do the same thing with the clothing.
Holy crap, it's not only gorgeous but the finishes, especially on the inside, are incredible! It's better finished than most clothes sold in stores O.ô
Love that you are turning out of fashion clothes into stylish new fashion. Now that what I call saving the environment. By making sure that one less piece of synthetic fabric goes into a landfill.
Tien Le yes!!! things like bridesmaid dresses etc only get worn once, but they're often made of such nice fabric, it would be really cool so see April transform one into a jumper!
Bridesmaid Dresses are very expensive, maybe someone who wants theirs transformed could send it to her, along with their body measurements. That way April doesn't have to buy a wedding dress
even though I'm a guy I just wanted to say all your tips and tricks for sewing have helped me in my journey, now I can tailor all my own clothing and started to pick up thrift items to make them nicer :)
I don't usually leave comments but I just gotta say this, you should DEFINITELY design a collection of your own! Seriously, your thrifted designs are so much better than what is sold out there
I would buy the dress too !! it's so pretty!! but I think it would have been prettier if she didn't cut the front. a long skirt would have been better more classy imo
You are incredibly talented. My mother is a couturier and I grew up to be a very finicking girl especially when it comes to dressmaking. And I can say, you're killing it both aestheticly and technically. Love from Istanbul.
How great that you go out and buy super inexpensive clothing and transform them into pieces people would pay 100s for. Just one suggestion, could you please put how much you purchased the original item for in your future videos? I think it would add to the wow factor.
You are so very talented and have an amazing eye for fashion!!! I'm blown away by your ability to visualize something completely different from the pieces you start with!!! 😍
Holy cow! This is amazing! You are so talented at sewing, but also the way you could look at that piece and envision transforming it like that is beyond impressive!!
I have been enjoying her videos! I do sew and don't have a mannequin. I do things the old fashioned way but get great results. I was altering a dress shirt and its way easier then I thought it would be. Getting a sewing machine at a thrift store would be a great idea for anyone looking to save a lot of money on clothes! You can create so much using your own old clothes and cheap clothes you can buy at discount racks. I always look for damaged items I can fix and buy cheap. Also altering those to fit. Watching these videos helps you see what you can do with the really big items that have beautiful fabrics! I will be doing this kind of work now. Thank you for these videos!
I love the way she changed an old outfit into a glamorous out fit. She has given me lots of ideas that I will put to use. Awesome, please carrying on giving new ideas and seam less techniques to make outfit look shop bought. Thanks again,
I really wish I was patient enough to make my own clothes but I get frustrated easily and id probably end up launching the sewing machine through a window.
Sarah Green Try making pillows first. Its super easy to sew a square and stuff it. Thats how I started sewing; it built up my tolerance and now I sew whole garments and costumes!
Your design and finished product is absolutely gorgeous. I just wish I knew enough about sewing that I could follow along and understand each step of the construction.
itsEmiley I really liked the peachy summer one she did. But this is so awesome that she designed a more formal look. Honestly I would've worn it to my Homecoming maybe even prom with some nice jewelry and a half up-half down hair-do
I probably would add some quarter inch to an inch thick straps that I could tie into a bow around my neck and that's all. I did wear a strapless dress for prom and dancing and even sitting became difficult (it was a ball gown so yeah...)
This video just made me subscribe for the atitude. I love how she admitted that she had to use double sided tape to keep the top up, not making unrealistic expectations if you do something like that and it doesn't stay up. That's the kind of realistic atitude I love
Maya Beck for your jean situation, if you have one good pair that you love and that fits you good, lay it on top of the jeans you want to transform. This outline that pair of jeans with marker onto the jeans you want to transform. Cut the lines and then sow.
Sewing through jeans is also incredibly difficult sometimes so make sure you have a sturdy thread and a nice large, strong needle. Otherwise you're in for a bad time.
I’m so happy to have found your channel! This is SO right up my alley!! I do this stuff all the time! Usually to make stuff for my daughter, not to sell... But how awesome that you have created a lucrative business for yourself!!
Incredible!! Fashion plait you make me so happy watching these!!! Such lovely whimsical imagination I bet all your Gfs must love all your clothes!! I’m binging your videos. Thank you for making my day.
Okay, so this is the first video I've seen of you, so I wanted you to know that my jaw FREAKING dropped when I saw the transformation! That was incredible!
Meche Landeira they actually contacted her months ago or a year ago i think and she told them she wasnt quite ready for the challenge yet, but i cant wait either!
You are amazing. I would have looked at that dress and thought, "love the fabric, what a pity", and tossed it into a goodwill bin. It's shocking what you looked at it as saw, then transformed it into. LOVE IT!
This is one of my favorites yet. April, I love threadbangers too. I made a quilted bag from that umbrella bag video. I used a whole bunch of 3 inch squares instead. I use it for the beach. So easy to wash.
Brilliant and beautiful!!! Again, I don't sew but I'm inspired by your talent, your knowledge and your ingenuity. This transformation is fabulous (and not too short in the crotch). You look amazing and more comfortable moving around in it as well, compared to the remake on the cute, little-embroidered denim dress overhaul. Very, very well done! I will continue watching your videos.
I think you are VERY TALENTED. Your ideas are AMAZING. A LOT of your transformations are skimpy and very young, or beachy. After my mother passed, I found a linen skirt that my very tall and thin mother had in her wardrobe. The fabric was good quality, a pretty summer print. She had a 28" waste and was 5'10" tall. Unfortunately, I am middle-aged and heavier. Still, I could see a cute tunic top in her old skirt. The skirt had small pletes. I am having trouble with the bodice and sleeves as there was not much extra fabric, but I think it will be really cute. You inspire me. Thanks.
oh my goodness this turned out even better than i thought it would by looking at the thumbnail. probably one of my favourites now. i hope there are prom dresses similar to this, i would love to wear it.
I honestly wish your designs were sold in stores. I'd love to have a prom dress designed by you.
Same!!
Rachel Gonzalez , Omg!!! YYYYEEEEEESSSSSSS!!!!!!!
YES
True
It is beautiful and u look great!
I love that not only does she make gorgeous pieces, but she never seems to say anything bad about the original clothing.
That's cuz she makes bad so good 😀
I like how she explanes this as if someone would be able to create it
Tammy Chen someone who knows stitching will 🤨
@@gunjanvyas9065 she is saying that no one can do the same thing because the clothes are thrifted
But she gives a person wonderful ideas on what you could do with similar items. She makes her own patterns, but you can buy patterns and do the same thing with the clothing.
I sure feel inspired.
She's making a joke.. like saying nobody is talented enough to recreate this.
Holy crap, it's not only gorgeous but the finishes, especially on the inside, are incredible! It's better finished than most clothes sold in stores O.ô
went from hideous to super classy love it
You should try out for project runway!😊
Skye True-Hagenstein Ikr! She's so talented and creative!
Skye True-Hagenstein I thought that show was over! 😱
Nope. We're on season 15 now.
Someone from one of her other videos said she was invited but declined because she didn't feel like she was ready :) don't know if it's true tho
Skye True-Hagenstein she's not ready
I liked how much more you talked about your thought process in this video!
Hannah E thanks! I had to share it cus I was so amazed when it turned into a skirt lol
Hannah E Glad you mentioned this. I agree.
Tip: Sand the sharps ends of boning so it doesn't wear the fabric down and rip through it
Love that you are turning out of fashion clothes into stylish new fashion. Now that what I call saving the environment. By making sure that one less piece of synthetic fabric goes into a landfill.
I would love to see a bridesmaid gown or wedding gown turn into a high end jumper.
Tien Le That is a really good idea!
Tien Le yes!!! things like bridesmaid dresses etc only get worn once, but they're often made of such nice fabric, it would be really cool so see April transform one into a jumper!
Natasha Rose I think she should do a series on bridesmaids dress transformation.
Tien Le Amazing idea!!!
Bridesmaid Dresses are very expensive, maybe someone who wants theirs transformed could send it to her, along with their body measurements. That way April doesn't have to buy a wedding dress
i got completely lost during the top half, watching you for me is like watching a conjuring trick, but i still enjoy it immensely!
Josephine Winter samee
I understood but it may be because I always sew.
I don't know how to sew and I want to learn so it's a learning process for me
even though I'm a guy I just wanted to say all your tips and tricks for sewing have helped me in my journey, now I can tailor all my own clothing and started to pick up thrift items to make them nicer :)
Who isn't actually gonna make anything, and is just here because this looked cool?
I'm a guy with no interest in fashion, but her pure talent keeps me watching her videos. Good job
I don't usually leave comments but I just gotta say this, you should DEFINITELY design a collection of your own! Seriously, your thrifted designs are so much better than what is sold out there
you look like a celebrity/artist walking down the red carpet!!
i would buy your thrifted transformations.
and yayyy!! 1 million!!!!
I would buy the dress too !! it's so pretty!! but I think it would have been prettier if she didn't cut the front. a long skirt would have been better more classy imo
Bianca B ikr! I am making this rn!!
old country
She did not cut the front, she explained how she was making it in the beginning as the dress already had that design out for her.
Wow. Even if I never pick up sewing, your videos make me appreciate what goes into fashion and clothing so much more. So impressed.
just saw 2 minutes of one of your transformations. Thanks for showing us your beautiful creations. You are one extremely talented lady !!
oh my god, April. this top is so professional
it's so cool to see your skill improve so much! i'm so impressed and inspired by you!
oh my god, it's like give this girl a garbage bag and she'll turn it into the most beautiful silk dress... how. dem skillz.
amber scholl made a video on that!
she used a trash bag in her BB-8 costume
Check out Amber Scholl
You must have the best wardrobe ever 😩😩
I have been sewing for fortyfive years. Started when i was about fifteen. You remind me of me!
You killed it. The print. the cut. the flow of the dress. Amazing.
Who else doesn't even sew... You're just here to see the amazing transformations
OMG!!! that top with a burgundy skiiiiirt YAAAASSSS!!!!!Great job once again April!
Andrins N thanks! I'm excited to pair the top with other bottoms! 😁😁
Andrins N Oh! Burgundy palazzo pants with the sailor button front! Or, am I just being extra? Love her work!
Dint understand shit but still watched it with full concentration.
hahaha same!!!
Same ha ha
i watch before i sleep, its so relaxing
Same! 😂😂
You are incredibly talented. My mother is a couturier and I grew up to be a very finicking girl especially when it comes to dressmaking. And I can say, you're killing it both aestheticly and technically. Love from Istanbul.
They need to give you a tv show already
How great that you go out and buy super inexpensive clothing and transform them into pieces people would pay 100s for. Just one suggestion, could you please put how much you purchased the original item for in your future videos? I think it would add to the wow factor.
This is ridiculously gorgeous. I'd wear it to prom.
How much did you spend on this transformation? It is lovely, You look great in it.
mspatti it took me 2-3 days
coolirpa I think she meant in terms of cost :) (I actually want to know too)
hugh mungous In her description it says she spent around an extra $25 for the lining and horse hair and stuff :)
in descrpition
taehyung
Imma need about 10 years of sewing experience to be half as good as you oml youre like a sewing fairy
You are so very talented and have an amazing eye for fashion!!! I'm blown away by your ability to visualize something completely different from the pieces you start with!!! 😍
wtf she turned an old lady sleepwear to a date night dress
Not even a date night dress... a prom dress!
Exacly that what i thought
It was literally a moo moo
She turned into this gorgeous gown
What is life!
nooooo! it's the dress of every girls dreams!
sugarcoatedlovee cause she can
Wow this one was as elegant as it was incredibly difficult looking! Props to you for being born with such style and working toward your goals!
I love how the hem of the skirt flows with the horsehair in it! beautiful!!
You make sewing seems so easy. I can’t even set the thread properly in the needle of the sewing machine. You are gifted!!!!
Holy cow! This is amazing! You are so talented at sewing, but also the way you could look at that piece and envision transforming it like that is beyond impressive!!
probably my favorite transformation you've ever done! the end result is so gorgeous!
So much gorgeous fabric. I'm glad you used as much as possible.
the video hasn't even started and i love it.
I have been enjoying her videos! I do sew and don't have a mannequin. I do things the old fashioned way but get great results.

Sarah Green That's totally me, no patience 😑
Sarah Green 😂😂
Sarah Green Try making pillows first. Its super easy to sew a square and stuff it. Thats how I started sewing; it built up my tolerance and now I sew whole garments and costumes!
Sarah Green Right 😂😂
Burn the witch because that is literally wizardry.
Josh Thomas lol. I didn't see your comment before I posted nearly the same thing.
Josh Thomas Too late, she's already on FIRE!!! Lol!
Your house interior has such a nice color palette
Stunning. Though this is not a DIY channel. Your expertise as a seamstress is amazing.
This is the first time in my 25 years that I have EVER hit the SUBSCRIBE button. Good luck, girl!
what does the horse hair braid do?
MuruMuri make the hem stiff so it doesn't just hang limp, gives it a more A line look. very useful stuff!
I can see you being a winner on project runway. love your work
Who taught you how to draft patterns?
PLEASE DO SOME SORT OF DIY DRAFTING CLOTHES THING!
Dang, I didn't even realize how fast this channel grew. I've been here since about 1k and now you're over here with 1million plus, congrats April 💖💖💖
Your design and finished product is absolutely gorgeous. I just wish I knew enough about sewing that I could follow along and understand each step of the construction.
I want to stick you in my pocket when I go thrift shopping now.
SLOOOOOPY Follow her in snapchat :)
She needs to apply for project runway
The Random Sheikha She's too good to be in project runway..
The Random Sheikha agreed ! I love that show. she could win those challenges so easily with her talent
Killed it as per usual!! This might be one of my favourites you've ever done :)
itsEmiley I really liked the peachy summer one she did. But this is so awesome that she designed a more formal look. Honestly I would've worn it to my Homecoming maybe even prom with some nice jewelry and a half up-half down hair-do
itsEmiley I agree!!! I love how it flows and the bodice is just perfect!
I probably would add some quarter inch to an inch thick straps that I could tie into a bow around my neck and that's all. I did wear a strapless dress for prom and dancing and even sitting became difficult (it was a ball gown so yeah...)
Silk like straps would be nice
Ariana Espinosa Great idea about the straps-I love the halter style!
I didn't understand a word she said but I couldn't stop watching..!.. what a talented young lady..
You are so talented and gifted! Great eye for fashion, seeing beyond what the normal eye comprehends. God bless you~
Gosh darn it April you've done it again! 👏🏼
I love it. I can't believe how simple it looks comparatively, now I just need the same kind of dress
You'll get to 1 million in no time. You deserve it. Love your videos! ♡♡
This video just made me subscribe for the atitude. I love how she admitted that she had to use double sided tape to keep the top up, not making unrealistic expectations if you do something like that and it doesn't stay up. That's the kind of realistic atitude I love
You make it look soooo easy!!! You're gifted! God bless you Girl!
One of my favorites from you April
Can you do a video on different ways to sew?!
And a video on how to easily fix big jeans! I can't ever find a pare that fit me really good!
Maya Beck for your jean situation, if you have one good pair that you love and that fits you good, lay it on top of the jeans you want to transform. This outline that pair of jeans with marker onto the jeans you want to transform. Cut the lines and then sow.
Sewing through jeans is also incredibly difficult sometimes so make sure you have a sturdy thread and a nice large, strong needle. Otherwise you're in for a bad time.
Do you ever sell your creations!! 😍
I’m so happy to have found your channel! This is SO right up my alley!! I do this stuff all the time! Usually to make stuff for my daughter, not to sell... But how awesome that you have created a lucrative business for yourself!!
Incredible!! Fashion plait you make me so happy watching these!!! Such lovely whimsical imagination I bet all your Gfs must love all your clothes!! I’m binging your videos. Thank you for making my day.
she should be a designer tho i think she already is oh whale
Celine Mark did you mean oh well or did you purposely put oh whale? Lol😂😃
The end result looks epic. I really wanna have that but I'm lazy
You need an actual show on tv ! You are amazing !!
Okay, so this is the first video I've seen of you, so I wanted you to know that my jaw FREAKING dropped when I saw the transformation! That was incredible!
This has got to be one the best transformations you've ever done! Bravo!!
your transformations are always so much better than the originals, but i would be way too nervous to actually do it
cant wait to see you on proyect runway
Meche Landeira when is she going? ?
oh sorry i didnt mean she was going now, i mean i hope she goes one day
Meche Landeira they actually contacted her months ago or a year ago i think and she told them she wasnt quite ready for the challenge yet, but i cant wait either!
really???? thats awesomeeeeeee
I love the floral print so pretty!
I just found this channel and now I'm going to be watching these all night. So amazing!
You are amazing. I would have looked at that dress and thought, "love the fabric, what a pity", and tossed it into a goodwill bin. It's shocking what you looked at it as saw, then transformed it into. LOVE IT!
Wow!!! That went from blah to absolutely stunning!!!
you are simply fabulous I lov your work
I don't know what any of these fancy sewing words are, I just like clothes 😭😭
I love this young lady! Thank you for these videos. You love what you do then it's a career. This is her dream. Thank you again!!!
This is one of my favorites yet. April, I love threadbangers too. I made a quilted bag from that umbrella bag video. I used a whole bunch of 3 inch squares instead. I use it for the beach. So easy to wash.
She is so talented. My head hurts watching this!!! How does one do this is effortlessly?
Omg! This is actually my favourite transformation ever!!
YOU HIT 1 MILLION!! CONGRATS!!
Katie Larry I
You could wear this on the red carpet. It's amazing😍😍
Your visions of what these things can become amazes me. The couture sewing is wonderful as well! You should be on Project Runway!
Stunning! You and the dress!
That's beautiful!!! I wish I was that talented with sewing 😭
its so pretty oh my god! im actually in awe, amazing job as always april!!!!!
Have you ever considered auditioning for Project Runway? You so should!
Oh my goodness, girl ! You did the train exactly as I envisioned it. What a stylish femme fetal . You are simply the Queen of the Machine! 🤗🤗🤗
You need a clothing brand, your clothing are amazing
🦋
this was insanely beautiful. I really need to learn to sew lol.
Looked at the thumb nail and was literally like "ooohhh I have to watch this right now" 😍
Brilliant and beautiful!!! Again, I don't sew but I'm
inspired by your talent, your knowledge and your ingenuity. This transformation
is fabulous (and not too short in the crotch). You look amazing and more
comfortable moving around in it as well, compared to the remake on the cute,
