Just incase you're wondering, the blue top was originally an Indian, Pakistani men's kameez! I would've never imagined them as such a pretty diy! Brb raiding my dads closet
Been seeing a lot of these big fluffy shoulders/sleeves at my favourite stores to window shop, so here's how you can do it yourself on a budget :) and reuse clothes! Check the description if you missed my other Reformation/Urban Outfitters/big sleeve tutorials :) sending you lots of love!! (see 17:53 💖)
Hi Wendy, I have a question, after you sew two parallel stitches to gather the fabric, want did you do with the ends of the thread? Did you Just cut them off? Or did you tie them?
Ok using elastic to take in something that’s too big is honestly smart and looks doable. Especially that first one with the back detail. Might have to try.
You're such an inspiration. I basically don't buy new clothes anymore and am totally obsessed with thrifting and making things exactly how I want them!
Don’t be afraid of moving forward. The future is bright.Good luck and tons of best wishes. God bless you in whatever you do. This is my heartiest wish just for you.
im never gonna be able to follow these tutorials...but they’re still so much fun to watch and i love to see how excited you are wearing the finished products!!! the tops look so fab in this one! :-)
Wow! Both final results turned out to look super fancy, they look expensive. Nobody would think these are thrift flip products. I love all your videos Wendy! :)
When gathering, mark the center before doing double row of stitching to make it center and identical. Using a ruler or rotary cutter and ironing as you go helps, too.
this was SO inspiring for me! i have a sewing machine that i haven't used since elementary school and i'm 20 years old now. this really made me want to take it back out and learn how to sew all over again!!
Wow thank you!! This is super nice to hear because there's always a spot in the middle of the project where I stop and just have no idea whether or not it's gonna work out
My ex asked me why I was constantly putting my hands in the pockets of my new dress and I replied; 'Well I can never do that, It feels nice.' Just never put your hands in your pockets when walking down the stairs, that's dangerous.
Your blue shirt transformation has saved me from pulling my hair out. I have a men’s shirt long enough to be a dress and I was going to add flutter sleeves from a blouse. Been putting it off because I’ve never hemmed sheer fabric in a curve. I’m going to do your layered look instead. TY!
Got to save this video for a future thrift flip. I really like trying to do the puff sleeve. This is what kind of content I was looking for. So I am subscribing to your channel. Thanks for sharing and blessing to you in the days to come.
YOU INSPIRE ME SO MUCH & your love for everything frill, buff shoulder, structure etc are what I'm always looking for in my fashion! cannot wait to try to pull some of this off myself
okayyyy WOW I can't wait to make this one. I have an old cheetah print / fake Versace silk blouse that will be perfect for crazy 80s supermodel at a party vibes
You're so very talented and inspiring! I can sew but I've never used a pattern and my mom has a ton of vintage patterns so we've been spending the most wonderful time together sewing! I love finding inspiration from your channel for ideas! Huggies from Niagara Falls, New York!
A really cool project! Would be cool to have a matching scrunchie with the blue top. Like making one that matches the ruffles or is big. Could be a cool way to dress down the top imho.
*I’m in love with the flower top!!* I’m going to have to do a little bit of thrifting so I can recreate it! Maybe even make a little video on how it goes for me on my channel as well!💕
The white blouse was plain in the video. But, on the title screen for the video, the white blouse has blue embroidery added to the sides. I really liked that a lot!
i'm definitely going to use that sleeve technique from the first blouse, fits right into my vintage wardrobe! edit: OH MY GODDDD I ALSO WANT TO BE A FLOWER THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL

LOL I wanna see the “wait isn’t that my kameez” reaction!
I think it's such an elegant piece of clothing for men to wear, I've always admired it.
We call it a “Kurto” or “Kurti” where I’m from but I was just about to say that lol!! (Edit kurto is for men and kurti is for woman!)
Its called panjabi here in Bangladesh.

i love this so much, thank youu!!!
This was so much fun!! I'm in love with the white shirt.. The glo up though! 👌🏽👌🏽
Hi Wendy,
I have a question, after you sew two parallel stitches to gather the fabric, want did you do with the ends of the thread? Did you Just cut them off? Or did you tie them?
Wendy: "I look like I am auditioning for Aladdin..."
Me, breaking out in song: "I CAN SEW YOU THE WOOOORLD!!"
Me finishing the song: Cut the shoulders and him it¬
I need to do the first one so i can fight impressionist painters 👊🏼😅
don't take any of em seriously unless they got statement shoulders!
I'm going to fight the Harlequin Romance dudes lol
Ok using elastic to take in something that’s too big is honestly smart and looks doable. Especially that first one with the back detail. Might have to try.
thequeenn00b yes! My favorite is a couple inches of elastic in the back of jeans to cinch in the waist. So simple and looks great 🙏🏻
I’ve never been much of a puff sleeve fan but these are BEAUTIFUL! I definitely want to recreate
selam getu me neither but I think because they’re not as exaggerated as they usually are lol xx
@@foxxybrown291 Definitely! This is such a modern, minimal take and I'm in love
I loved the original white shirt but it turned out very cute.
Hahaha indeed it is stressful when I let myself get attached to the original thrifted item 😅😅
I don't even have a sewing machine-but these tutorials are always so much fun to watch! I love how you can give new life to these pieces! ♡
Lol - girl, look at u now! ❤
You're such an inspiration. I basically don't buy new clothes anymore and am totally obsessed with thrifting and making things exactly how I want them!
The blue top is SOOOOO BEAUTIFUL 😫❤️
Great video. I love the blue top. Your voice over always make me laugh. Your sense of humor is awesome!
“Im going to add some puff sleeves to it”
*Anne Shirley has entered the chat*
Yessssssss those books are so good
LOL. Pioneer woman chic! I guess there was a very romantic Victorian streak in 80's fashion.
Yes! Anne with an E wished to have a puffed sleeve dress like those of Diana's.
Don’t be afraid of moving forward. The future is bright.Good luck and tons of best wishes. God bless you in whatever you do. This is my heartiest wish just for you.
Wowowow that first top is so chic!
The front design was already so cool but you made it look even cooler
I always give up on sewing projects half way but this gives me motivation:)
Love that blue top!! Gives me major Solange vibes
I take that has a very high compliment :O
how does it feel like to be this talented wow one day i wanna sew my own outfits, u inspire me
im never gonna be able to follow these tutorials...but they’re still so much fun to watch and i love to see how excited you are wearing the finished products!!! the tops look so fab in this one! :-)
WOW! This is just what I need to prevent further thrift abuses by my hand
Wendy the shirt surgeon! 😊
They both turned out so cute! I love the sleeves on the blue top
OMG! They're so unique I haven't seen anything like it that i want one for myself!
Wow! Both final results turned out to look super fancy, they look expensive. Nobody would think these are thrift flip products. I love all your videos Wendy! :)
Omg the blue top is like an obligation 80s verison of snow white😍
i’m obsessed with the first one!!!! thank you so much for making this tutorial
Wow!! I LOVE both of these tops! 😍 Some of my favourite things you’ve made! The sleeve action is just dreamy 🤤🤤🤤
When gathering, mark the center before doing double row of stitching to make it center and identical. Using a ruler or rotary cutter and ironing as you go helps, too.
Lori Carson Thank you for this!
the faux shirring is cool :O
Much faster too!
Was just gonna say Wendy must've not been down to hand-wind that bobbin again 😂😂
Lolol I’d do it again but I used up all the elastic thread last time and that pushed me to also try and show a new idea!
this was SO inspiring for me! i have a sewing machine that i haven't used since elementary school and i'm 20 years old now. this really made me want to take it back out and learn how to sew all over again!!
Value village is a DREAM sponsor and it suits you perfectly! You’re such a lucky duck 💕
The blue shirt is typical eastern wear of south asia like Pakistan, India and here it's called Kameez. The flip came out amazing as usual 🌻
Thanks for explaining! I already couldn’t decide between kaftan and tunic 😂
Both tops are CUTE, CUTE, CUTE!
Hello, that was absolutely amazing. Really well done. Keep safe and be lucky 💞💞💞
So so excited - my friend just announced her birthday theme is 80s prom, with just enough time for me to maybe make something for it.
The blue one OMG soooooo beautiful I need to make it!!!!!!!!!!! 😍😍😍😍😍
Love your poise and your clear and soothng voice.
i loove the white one omg!
Thanks Lydia!!
Never been this early!! Btw your thrift flips are absolutely my favourite, they're always so creative!!
Wow thank you!! This is super nice to hear because there's always a spot in the middle of the project where I stop and just have no idea whether or not it's gonna work out
Lol so sad when we females get excited about pockets being on our clothes 😂😂😂
My ex asked me why I was constantly putting my hands in the pockets of my new dress and I replied; 'Well I can never do that, It feels nice.'
Just never put your hands in your pockets when walking down the stairs, that's dangerous.
Just shows how low the bar is for functionality
I love this shirt!! I'm totally going to make it for everyday wear!
Magical!!!
So creative, from a 80’s gal! God Bless!
I absolutely love those flower petal sleeves!! 😍
Wendy, I hope you love your new blue shiny top, because it looks terrific and suits you so well somehow!
Cool items, for the white shirt, make a bow or get a glam gold pin for the collar, true 80's
That Blue. And those petal flounces. Muah!
OMG! That turned out so adorable!!
Beautiful upcycles. Thanks for sharing.
Wow! Both are very impressive. Thank you for showing us how to have courage to do something different.
I'm in love with the blue one!!!! I HAVE to try it out this on my new sheer fabric tha I bought few time ago! Thank you, Wendy!
Your blue shirt transformation has saved me from pulling my hair out. I have a men’s shirt long enough to be a dress and I was going to add flutter sleeves from a blouse. Been putting it off because I’ve never hemmed sheer fabric in a curve. I’m going to do your layered look instead. TY!

I love both of them! But now I really want to make the diamond darts like in the first shirt!
YOU INSPIRE ME SO MUCH & your love for everything frill, buff shoulder, structure etc are what I'm always looking for in my fashion! cannot wait to try to pull some of this off myself
ALL the puffed sleeves! Loved this inspo for this video, and so cool to see how these turned out 😊
okayyyy WOW I can't wait to make this one. I have an old cheetah print / fake Versace silk blouse that will be perfect for crazy 80s supermodel at a party vibes
i love the first crop/puffy top!
You're so very talented and inspiring! I can sew but I've never used a pattern and my mom has a ton of vintage patterns so we've been spending the most wonderful time together sewing! I love finding inspiration from your channel for ideas! Huggies from Niagara Falls, New York!
I loved the white top- I would wear that anywhere. With jeans. I haven’t seen the blue one yet though.
You have such a calming voice! Especially in the very first sentence in the video. Love your content
This is not meant to be mean, but your voice is so calming it literally puts me asleep and I love watching your videos before a nap.
I am so motivated yet intimidated to try this project. But I love me a puff sleeve.
in love with thrift flips videos right now !
the moment you reach to the surprise pockets haha I love it! ^^
You are super gooooood!!! Love the blue one!
The blue one is so nice!
You are so talented! Sewing is hard but you have mastered it
Love your videos💗 please make more dresses🙏🏻 (like urban outfitters style)
Thank you for making this video. I have re-fashioned shirts before, but this gave me even more ideas !
A really cool project! Would be cool to have a matching scrunchie with the blue top. Like making one that matches the ruffles or is big. Could be a cool way to dress down the top imho.
that blue top turned out AMAZING! summer is coming up here, i might just have to have a cheeky thrift and find something to make this with!
These are both so cute!! I’d love to see a video of your shoe collection, they’re always so cute 💛
So inspired by your tutorials that I actually bought a skirt that I will try to convert into a large trouser ! Wish me luck 😂
I probably won’t do this exactly but I’ll definitely be using this information on other things!
I love them both but the blue one looks more extra specially special 🤓🤣🤣🤣 xx
I love your designs. Always so classy! 💖
Ok the blue one also-- im just about to cry it’s so pretty:( :( 💙💙💙
Oh, the blue top is so adorbs!
*I’m in love with the flower top!!*

The blue shirt reminds me of Snow White. So cute!
I'm actually so in love with this so if you ever feel the need to get rid of the white button-up I'm your gal.
Your first top gave me major "Purple Rain" vibes.
Finally new video! 🤣🤣 now I have holiday and can finally try out your tutorials!!!! Loveya!❤️❤️
the blue one is sooooo pretty! the white one kind of looks like it limits your arm moving space tho ahaha but its very pretty
Really fun flips, Wendy! I loooooove the blue one! 😍
Omg I totally walked by that fashion show in Nathan Philips Square 😍
Can't wait to go to Value Village today lol
The white blouse was plain in the video. But, on the title screen for the video, the white blouse has blue embroidery added to the sides. I really liked that a lot!
I love diy! Please make a vid tutorial transforming basic mens clothes into dope ones. Like T-shirt, hoodie, sweatshirts etc.
So pretty, very very nice!
Hi! Love watching your sewing diy videos.
