I'm glad the 90s has come back too. I finally get to live my Delia's/grunge/90s sitcom character wardrobe dreams.
Yesssss! Exactly! :)
💯💯💯
Loved this video especially watching how you took in the waist of your new pants. Thank you.
So glad that was helpful! Thank you!
I actually love the top with the ruffle sleeves. That’s is my favorite!
I started sewing classes about 2 months ago and I just wanted to say how much I love watching your thrift flips ❤ it inspires me to go ahead and make my own now that I have a sewing machine at home. A new found hobby that I am soooo thrilled about!
Ah thank you so much! I'm so glad you are enjoying them!
Another fun video! So true that our coming-of-age decade makes a huge impact of our clothing love for life. I'm so glad I was a teenager in the '70s. It still gives me so much inspiration! And, btw, opening that inseam to get at the pocket placement was genius. I love how you don't shy away from taking extra steps in order to guarantee the nicest results. 🙌
Thanks, Libby! It's so funny how our teenage era sticks with us. So many core memories. And yes...have seam ripper, will take things apart! 😅
lol, not me. Was a teenager in the 80ties... and always thought that the 80ties fashion was horrible - even then! Really was very relieved then the 90ties arrived with a much more interesting and fun style :)) Great fan of cargo pants myself.
Thrifting is my jam. I love all the interesting fabrics and clothes and the wool that’s dirt cheap and new. I just took up sewing a few months ago and it’s great fun. I actually found your channel when I screwed up a pair of pajama pants and was looking for help lol. I love to watch you sew. And the little hacks are perfect. You make everything seem possible. Those pants were perfect. You would never know that they were altered. Well done!
Love thrifting! And so glad you found my channel (hope your pajama pants were saved)! Thanks so much for watching and letting me know you find the videos encouraging! :)
This was so fun! I love the idea of thrifting as a low-cost time/money commitment to trying something new. Or old, haha. You’ve definitely got my creative wheels turning. I’m right there with you with the nostalgia for 90s/00s trends!
Yes! I was kind of considering using the Nellie Joggers pattern to make some cargo pants, but just wasn't ready for the commitment haha. I am so glad the 90s/00s are back...been waiting for this moment! 😂
I'm so loving these Thrift Flips! I have always been a Thrift flipper. Sometimes you just need a little inspiration. So glad you have been doing these kinds of Videos Lately.
Good Score on those Buttons!! Really, everything you bought was great!
On a personal note: I just had a really hard laugh, I was working on a home decor project painting over an old Canvas print. I had "Fear Freeze", I decided to take a break, your other video popped up where you had "Fear Freeze" about the dress you were working on. It was great to see other people have that same experience. 🤣
The frilly ruffles top looks so good!!
New to sewing and have been loving your content. 👌👌
I'm a thrifter too , got introduced to it as a you kid in the late Sixties when my rich aunt volunteered at the Thrift Store for the Blind in Albany NY. She would find awesome items for us....have been thrifting ever since.
It's so much fun--I have found some really nice things!
I absolutely loved this ❤ Thank you for the amazing content. I always look forward to your videos!
Ah, I'm so glad! Thanks for watching my videos! :)
Those mesh tops just keep on looking fantastic on you. Cool Redu.
Thanks, Kathy! I love those tops so much and am constantly looking for reasons to wear them haha.
Loved this! Your cargo pants look great!
Thank you!! So glad you enjoyed it 😊
Love the cargo pants
Fantastic remodeling. They look great.
Thank you!
That was so enjoyable!! Thanks for taking us along😍 I love the result!
Thanks for coming along! :)
That was fun.
I really love your choice of clothes. They all suit you so well and are so translatable to others. (I feel, I could do that.)
Thank you!
I love your style and in you really know the colors that suite you. All of your picks were cute! Something interesting is that I also loved clothing since I was a child and would beg my parents for the teen magazines etc, just to look at the clothes. I almost went to fashion school but studied accounting instead and also had that same fear that maybe I wouldn’t like it so went the safe route. I am a good accountant but at least sewing remains an outlet for that love of clothing and desire to be creative.
Omg...same!! Would BEG for the magazines (also was curious about the "how to flirt" advice 😅). And never owned a single thing from Delia's, but you better believe i was on the catalog mailing list!
@@PatternScout I was on that list too lol! However, I did order from another catalog called Alloy, I believe. I was into the wide cargos pants and baby tees for sure. This is bringing back great memories. 😊
Excellent flip
Thanks!
Oh my god your outfits are really gorgeous and fashionable
Thank you so much!!
My friend went to fashion school so of course she became a florist 😜 and now she's a stay at home mom. I don't think she's sewn a thing since her final school fashion show projects lol. I love the clean simplicity of your cargo pants but my past self would insist on more pockets. And maybe some pockets inside other pockets. 😂
Yes. This. haha when I was an architect, I met so many people who said "I always wanted to be an architect!", so I have a feeling if I had gone to fashion school, I would have thought I should be something else (like maybe an architect lol). And I think more pockets would be even cooler! I also thought adding patch pockets to the front and maybe even one of those hammer loops on the leg would be fun.
The cargo pants are great!! Love them!
Thank you!
I never would have thought to make a pair of cargos from other pants!! Thank you so much for this video. I will have to start thinking about thrifting in a whole different way.
There were so many khaki pants at the thrift store--so much potential! :)
Love that cargo pants 👍😎🐕🦺!!!
Thanks!
Looks fun!
Yes!! :)
I didn't really want a pair of cargo pants before I watched your video, but they looked very stylish on you so now I do ha. . And I have this strong desire to go thrift store shopping tomorrow. 😊
Haha thank you! I actually just thrifted ANOTHER pair of cargo pants on Thredup this week that I love. Excited to wear them both when the weather warms up a little!
I love it!😊
Thanks!
the looks are soooo good on you!! it's amazing how well the pants turned out with relatively easy alterations :) I get overwhelmed at thrift stores and always wanted to make it a fun experience, buy something that does not fit perfectly and make it better
Thanks!! Thrift stores can be overwhelming, but I have found so many great things. I learned to alter my pants forever ago because they never fit quite right.
They look great on you!
Thank you!
Great video!
Thanks! :)
Nice job!
Thanks!
Thank you for showing us how to take the waistband of a pair of pants.
You bet! Thanks for watching!
The flip looks really good. The sweaters were great. Another jeans trend is the carpenter look which would also be easy to copy
Yes!! That one would be fun and I was actually coming across carpenter jeans when looking for inspiration. I have a pair of wide leg pants that are just a little too short and I thought about adding fabric to the bottom...maybe a future flip and I could add more pockets!
Love the cargos, loved them then and now. Favourites were my army cargos.😮😊. Always dressed them with something feminine on the top, was always a great contrast look. Jeeze, think I got to go get some now 😂😂
You gotta! :) Love the idea of feminine tops with utilitarian bottoms!
I just had to comment because you mentioned Delia's magazine!!!! I loved those magazines and wanted all of the clothes in them 🤣. I really like your cargo pants!! They look like they could have been in Delia's! Great video thanks for the nostalgia.
Omg, yes!! ALL the clothes 😂 I never actually owned a single thing from those catalogs, but I certainly begged my mom non-stop!
@@PatternScout I didn't get anything either but in my brain I had allllll the clothes 🤣🤣
You just make me smile! I just love your channel Casey! How is your Invisalign journey going? I like the black tank top with your cargos! That looks fab on you!
I'm so glad! Thank you! Invisalign is going great so far! I've been taking progress photos every week and will probably do an update on YT at some point (either here or on my other channel that I haven't started yet 🤣). I am starting to see some changes, which is exciting!
@@PatternScout we are considering getting them for our son so I will stay tuned!
I love the ruffle shoulders! (And I am not frilly at all). Would be cute with a dark corduroy mini and boots!
Ooh yeah! That would be super cute!
Also, love the 90’s, that’s my teenage years as well. ❤
So many good memories! :)
I’m so glad I found you…
The way that you did the waist band is a good idea... I took in a pair of pants in the middle and there was so much bulk attaching it back to the pants. Will try your way next
Thanks! That is my go-to waist alteration (I have to do it for nearly all my store-bought pants).
@@PatternScout I always do as well, I'm new to sewing though. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!
So much fun! I love how your cargo pants turned out. Sometimes altering pants, with all the belt loops and topstitches to work around makes me sorry I ever started....but you barreled through and did a fantastic job.
Everything you modeled looks promising for your wardrobe. To me the wild card is that knit tank top with the shoulder ruffles, but it could actually be a stealth winner - the unexpected contrast piece. Before removing any ruffles, how about steaming them to see if that would tame some of the volume? Would the top look good back-to-front? I'm a big fan of giving a romantic piece more edge by wearing it with something tough. Like cargo pants, lugsole boots or tevas (heh.) Khaki menswear pants, black faux leather. Editorial eyeliner, black accessories, anything that's ultra modern and a bit dangerous looking. Thanks for letting us play in your closet.
Thank you! I feel ya: I always put off the waist alteration, but once I get that seam ripper in there, I'm off. 😅
That knit tank has some potential, I think. Those are great suggestions! I need to play with that one a little more!
Hi, when it comes to the frills on your sweater vest, if you use it with a long sleeve either sweater or TShirt, then, the frill won't bother you because your sleeves will camouflage them. However, if they still bother you, you can weight down by adding something on the heavy side at the edge. I don't suggest to get rid of one of the frills, you won't be happy with it. Once you take it out, there might not be a turning back.
Great suggestions, thank you!
Such a fun project ❤️ I am thinking making a shirt out of old jeans. What needle size should I use? And also the thread. Which type will be good?
A size 16 or 18 would work, or they sell a “jeans” needle specifically. For thread, I would use matching thread for the construction, and (again) “jeans” topstitching thread. You can usually buy it at the fabric store or Amazon. You may need to play with your tension though since it’s so thick.
Those pants turned out perfect! 🙌 And was that second white short sleeve top with the shirred waist a hack of the poppy blouse?? I was thinking of doing a white linen version with a button-and-loop front and shirred sleeve cuffs, but yours looks so cute, I may pivot!
Thanks, Paula Jean! Yes, that is the Poppy Blouse (one of my samples for Version B that I decided to hack). I actually made it about an inch too short haha, so it is a bit more cropped than I was expecting. But I love it!
Very fun video! I love having a tutorial on altering the waist and hips of pants. I've always just made darts between the center back and surrounding belt loops, but this is infinitely better. At first I was thinking that you should have started with the other pants because the rise was so much better on you, but you proved me wrong. :) I think they would would also look great with those white sneakers on your rail! I'd love a pair of emerald cargoes or carpenter pants. I wonder if that stone color would dye to emerald. Does anyone have experience with dyeing thrift finds?
Thanks! Yes, that method is my go-to because it is more comfy (I've done the dart method before and can get a little bulky)! I kinda want to get some "chunkier" sneakers to try with the cargos! And you could use rit dye for to dye the pants for sure (I'd recommend getting a pair that are a natural fiber content, like cotton or linen for best results).
@@PatternScout you could roll up the pant legs a little until you get chunkier sneakers. But I hear you there. I have a pair of Cheery Rocket Dogs with a little platform that helps give the sneaker some weight. I like that they look a little feminine.
@@jacquelinea8224 oh that would be super cute!
Great video 👍🌺🌿🌹☘🏵🌵🌷🌴
Thank you very much!
❤❤❤
Like it.excellent . see you soon!=)
Did you make the white button up in this video? If so, what pattern did you use?
Thanks!
Yes! That is a pattern that I sell called the Byrdie Buttonup (and it is hands down the most-worn item in my wardrobe!) :) You can get it here: bit.ly/psbyrdiebuttonup
@@PatternScout Thank you!!
But did you have the camo cargo mini skirt from Abercrombie ??
I don't think I had a camo one, but I FOR SURE had a cargo skirt 🤣
How many items of clothing do you find sufficient to complete one's wardrobe?
In middle school I wore jncos and my first boyfriend was a skater 😂
Yes!! I love that haha. Also, I had a major crush on a skater boy in middle school. 🤣
Everything you bought looks very good. In fact ,it looks very good, I'd say perfect, on you because you have perfect shapes. I enjoy so much your videos because you present everything with an elegant style. 🫠So thank you so much ,I've learned something important today about pants and how to modify them . I wish you all the best from Bucharest 🇷🇴
Thank you so much! So glad you found it helpful and are enjoying the channel! :)
