Come destash (and fail) my vintage fabrics with me // upcycling, sewing, thrifting 

Thank you! The orange dress is made from thrifted fabric as well, still my favourite find!

Definitely is hard!

Thank you! Ahhh yes I guess a stash can never be too big, only the house too small haha. Thanks!

Yes, fabric storage is one of life's great challenges ;-) The blue blouse looks lovely on you and the flutter sleeves are so pretty! For the excess fabric in the bust area, some well-placed darts could help? Either horizontal on the sides or vertical from the waist on both sides (or a combo of both). You can pin the darts on the outside ('right side of fabric) while wearing the top, until the fit is comfortable, then 'invert' the excess fabric (dart) to the 'wrong side', re-pin then sew in place. Ironing the darts while they're on the outside makes it easier to invert on the ironed creases and pin in the correct placement. Hope this makes sense? The bonus is that it's a wrap top, so you don't have to worry about if fitting over your head/shoulders with the snugger fit!

@@astraspidastra7195 Thank you for the tips, I'm going to try it out! The thing is, the front panels already have darts, but as there's just soo much fabric they kinda look weird on me/get lost (lol). But maybe I need to sew them differently :) Thanks!

Ohh yes! The pattern also has a dress version so I'll definitely make that soon :) Thanks!

Hi Tina, thank you for watching ❤ Ahh yes sewing can be so frustrating, right? I had some really great luck that week with the thrifted fabrics. Usually I only find curtains, but I think someone donated their fabric stash just that week, so I came at the right time :) I hope you'll find something too, thrifting is really all about luck. Fingers crossed! Thanks!

@@angelicavis You are soooo right you have to be there at the right time .. last time I went I found some super expensive bedding which is absolutely beautiful ( and will make a beautiful dress for me and a lovely shirt for my wife and I’m sure I can make something from the pillow cases for one or two of my dogs ). And all for the grand price of £4 …€4.60 …. Hope you get your green machine fixed 💖💖

That sounds amazing!

Hahaha the continental knitting though 😩😩

@@angelicavis ik heb het ook geprobeerd en weer opgegeven hahahaha ik was te ongeduldig om het mezelf aan te leren

Nooo haha! Maar bij die rondbreinaalden kan ik sowieso echt niet fijn ‘gewoon’ breien 😩

Thanks! Yeah I have opened it up, I usually do that when cleaning. However, this time it made it even worse 😩 I was planning on oiling it also so will try that too, but at that moment I didn’t want to take the risk of it staining my fabric. But I feel like this should be easily fixed! & Yeah I was really lucky :D Thanks for watching :)

Thank you ❤️
