Dear Sewing Friends - what is YOUR favorite way to upcycle shirts? Here's how to resize a men's shirt to fit a woman - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_NmJduag28Y.html

You're so talented, adventurous, your sewing is so neat, i love the ideas🥰

@chocjamie Год назад

I haven't tried it yet, but when we get to winter (I'm in Australia) I have a plan to buy some of those lumberjack shirts (I can't think of the name!) from the second hand stores and sew some Christmas gift stockings. We haven't used them before but I'd like to start! Last year I sewed double sided gift bags to use instead of wrapping paper, they have Christmas fabric on one side and recycled sheets and fat quarters on the other side, I tied them up with ribbon and will reuse them every year now. But the stockings will be good for the small gifts!

@clarapn Год назад

Hi, all of them👌 but my favourite is... Trousers!🤩

@dawnlawson3682 Год назад

HELP !!!! Please. I watched your video on making/cloning pj pants. Followed exactly BUT I messed up somewhere. I took the old completely apart and traced 1 inch bigger, being the old were super baggy, BUT the finished product is tight like 2 sizes to small. What did I do wrong??

@ThoughtfulCreativity Год назад

@@dawnlawson3682 Dawn, did you add seam allowances?

@pamd6532 Год назад

Thinking about the "making mistakes question." My mother was very talented. She sewed dresses for her 3 girls (including my 7 times as a bridesmaid), she painted like a dream, and was a creative writer. She told me a story once. When she was a young mother for my oldest sister, she made her a dress that she thought was full of mistakes. She told her elderly neighbor about her frustrations, and the neighbor said, "Hell, honey, It's hand did." My mother never used any off color language, but she quoted that to her four children as needed. Just keep in mind, "It's hand did." Lovely video.

@chocjamie Год назад

That's such a sweet story! My grandmother was a prodigious home sewwer, and has inspired both her daughter and my brother and I to sew as well. I was lucky enough to get some of her unused fabric recently (she passed nearly 11 years ago) and I can't wait to sew something fabulous like she did.

@pamd6532 Год назад

Good morning. Please keep these upcycle ideas coming. 🙂 These three are great. Shirting fabric is perfect for so many projects. You daughter is adorable!

@abaigealduda2756 Год назад

A lot of folks show thrifted items that they upcycle, and I know that you do, too, but it's soooo great to see how often you take existing items that you made/purchased/received and give them new life!!!! Loved that you kept the striped cuffs for the first top-really finished look! Loved hubby's shorts; the seams for the pieces to make up the panels were invisible. Wow! And your cheerful top looks great as a ruffled skirt. I can't imagine how long it took you to do all of that work for all 3!!! Quality, quality results, though! Thank you so much for your videos.

@ThoughtfulCreativity Год назад

Abaigeal, thank you so much! Very true - what you said. I think I went thrifting for the sweater upcycles - I just did not have any in my close that could be useful for that. But yes, I am sure a lot of people have clothes that could use small or big changes and then can be worn and loved again! There will be more! :) I hope you are doing better and feeling better! Many hugs and positive thoughts traveling to you!

Underarm stains come out easily with baking soda and peroxide. Soak the area in cold water. Apply baking soda paste made with water to area. Let it sit for 5 minutes. Spray with hydrogen peroxide, then scrub with a tooth brush. Repeat as needed until the stain comes out. Edit: since I’m getting so many replies. I’ll put this here in case you don’t read the comment thread. Wash stained clothes in cold water only and don’t dry with heat. Heat sets stains. You may think you’ve washed the stain out, but you can’t be absolutely sure until you’ve inspected it again once completely dry. So no driers, irons, or steamers. Furthermore, one more thing to consider: a stain could also be set by prolonged exposure to the hot sun. So wash stained clothes the same day. Don’t give them time to set in.

@ThoughtfulCreativity Год назад

I tried it before and it did not help me :( I use soda and peroxide for quite a few stains.

@hotjanuary Год назад

@@ThoughtfulCreativity that’s too bad. Maybe the deodorant had unusual ingredients.

@ThoughtfulCreativity Год назад

You know, I was thinking the same! I even thought to do a test... Because over the years I have used a couple different deodorants and some stains come out with good or even awesome result and some don't... I was also wondering if the age of the stain has anything to do with that...

@lolaholt6835 Год назад

What a great tip!!

@hotjanuary Год назад

@@ThoughtfulCreativity it could be. I learned not to test fate and just wash all stained clothes in cold water so as not to set the stain (and on the same day as wearing them). Hang to dry even if I see no stain (absolutely no heat used, again to avoid setting the stain if it’s still there). If I see stains that only became visible after completely drying, I do soda and peroxide and it comes out.

Ruby, right? I like this style too, kind of business casual, but also sporty, I like that it gives me a range of movement in the shoulders due to the raglan sleeve! :)

I like to upcycle shirts, etc. to make cool clothes for myself. I always use every scrap some way. If it's too small, I throw it in my scrap bin and use it later for making crazy quilt squares. I even save the tags from the garments and sew them onto the quilt squares.

@gravedigger447 Год назад

Thank you so much for showing that shirt upcycling can be successful. I have two botched ones in the closet and wish I had given it more thought before cutting into the fabric. The mistake was not to make a plan first. I learnt from it not to cut into fabric that I really love before I'm sure it's the right place to cut. And sadly, I never got out of it in the moment, but tossed them into the back of the closet. One day, I'll probably use it for a completely different project.

@luvcampinbc Год назад

@ireneparker8253 Год назад

All 3 projects came out beautiful. My husband also complains about store bought stuff not fitting him right. The sleeves are too short, pockets too small etc. I love the shorts. They look very trendy and unique. The regular shirt to a raglan sleeve is genius. I am thinking it could solve a too big shoulder issue just as well. When upcycling a man's shirt the shoulders are always too big and the sleeves are too long. Since I usually have to redo the sleeves anyway The raglan sleeve is a new twist. Thanks for the new tool in my toolbox. I like what you said about mistakes. I hate making them. But, mistakes are part of the process. They give us our best stories. 😊

@ThoughtfulCreativity Год назад

Irene, I am so so glad you enjoyed it and got new ideas from it! Oh yes yes.... I did not even think of it - but you are so right! If you are upcycling men's shirt that is let's say couple sizes too large, then you can potentially cut the new raglan sleeve from the existing sleeve, because you will probably take in the side seam of the bodice as well, which then makes for a smaller sleeve that is needed - such good thinking, Irene!

Fantastic and inspiring work! I love upcycling garments & even happen to have a couple of old shirts (mine and my bf's) that I want to turn into something I will wear. Re: the shorts: I would add a piece of elastic in the waistband (not all the way, just 3-4 inches in centre back), this way the shorts hold up without a belt and there's still room to breathe in case of a larger meal ;) As for the mistakes... "There are no mistakes, only happy accidents"!
