Can you make more tutorials using t shirts? I have plenty I would like to recycle!

@mashafab2504 5 лет назад

I used to make small cute carpets, it works very nice with really old t shirts 😉

@Belle-de-nuit 5 лет назад

U could make grocery bags.

@angelikaimnaehglueck 5 лет назад

I sew empireshirts, visite my channel, for example the newest video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-hwV8uRugfGs.html

@moonglow7303 Год назад

I use my green t-shirts to hold my young trees in place so that they grow straight instead of crooked. I tie them onto a wooden pole and it works very good for me. Even tomato plants probably would be good to

@adamsayers6317 5 лет назад

Hi April. The zip issue is caused by one fabric being stretch. I usually sew with some paper underneath the stretch fabric. It stabilises the stretch and then just rips away. Good luck

@katsmith6012 5 лет назад

You can also use some fusing along the zip seam to stabilise the fabric 👍

@MarissaFloro 5 лет назад

this is good to know

@ductapemasterK2 5 лет назад

I would guess that a walking foot would also help 👍

@adamsayers6317 5 лет назад

Yeah.....there a lots of different ways that work. I just use the paper method coz it’s cheap and I always have paper 👍

@AneesahNajla 5 лет назад

Good tip 👌🏽

@tammydeplata2526 5 лет назад

I LOVE THIS! everyone has old tshirts laying around. great upcycle! also, instead of making my teenaged daughter a "memory quilt", i can make her a "memory hoodie"! i think she'd appreciate that A LOT more!

@coolirpa 5 лет назад

Tammy DePlata that’d be awesome!!

@AndreTheBarbadian 5 лет назад

This was brilliant. I have seen people use a single dress shirt but never have I seen someone use multiple T-shirts and better yet dye them so they are a similar colour. This has given me so many ideas.

@Lyca31 5 лет назад

I love this. The way you made it, it looks like it could be reversible.

@coolirpa 5 лет назад

Lyca31 thank you!

@lestranged 5 лет назад

It could be if you used a reversible separating zipper. They are hard to find (maybe special order?) but the slider at the top kind of swivels over so you can pull it from either side.

@narnie1231 5 лет назад

Our DIY queen is back again and I actually need this one T-shirts look so comfy as a jacket!!

@coolirpa 5 лет назад

Sahana Space it really is so comfy! Haha

@danion1588 5 лет назад

You need to stabilize the stretch fabric before installing a heavy metal zipper. I usually use stitch witchery to install my zipper first and then sew. Works like a charm.

@nadine_viktoria 5 лет назад

I had some problems installing a regular zipper in the back of a jersey dress. The solution was using strips of interfacing at the edges of the jersey fabric! It ended up looking really great! :)

@shellwithonel 5 лет назад

Damn genius. I don't have many thin jackets that fit me but I have a huge bunch of technical.shirts from races..great upcycle. And yes, sometimes it's okay to just let go, do the project and be okay with the imperfection!

@ashleyparker7092 5 лет назад

I am always in need of hooded jackets but buying the fabric for it is so expensive. This is such a better idea!!! Finally a good use for those shirts that don't fit that I love so much.

@GINGER70HINTZ 5 лет назад

April, what a great idea! You are right about the imperfections making it more personal.

@AneesahNajla 5 лет назад

Turned out great! I love using old T-shirts for so many things. My family gives me all of the shirts they never wear, thanks for the inspiration💕

@dawndesu6863 5 лет назад

I ask for others old tshirts if they are throwing or giving them away. I make dresses and other stuff out of them. This video was my 2 year vision that came to life

@AneesahNajla 5 лет назад

So cool I bet your dresses look great! I just made a couple "beach type" throw over outfits out of old shirts. Coolirpa is so much more organized with her videos but I did upload how I transform tshirts on my channel. 😶 Happy sewing!!

@annettehartt7993 5 лет назад

Love and so timely. I spent yesterday afternoon volunteering at my school's GoGreen Festival where I turned T-shirts into bags. -I know this is done all over youtube, but if it wasn't for channels like yours, I wouldn't have had the nerve to try it. No one knew that it was my first time-lol!

@heyheyjessjess 5 лет назад

I love this! I definitely get caught up in trying to make everything perfect, but sometimes it's good to just let go and enjoy the process!

@coolirpa 5 лет назад

Jessica Davis yes! This is the perfect project for that. It was so much more relaxing and in the end it worked out! Love my imperfect jacket 😍❤️

@maribeld84 5 лет назад

I really like this! I also love that the way you constructed it makes it potentially reverseable.

@pixielale-klasicki3679 5 лет назад

yeah just make it with a different zip

@Tomara1372 3 года назад

I really love how this jacket turned out! What a great idea using t-shirts you have and making something you need.

@nicolepusch3931 5 лет назад

I love this style project. I am watching your channel to learn about sewing before I bite the bullet and buy my first machine. This is not intimidating! This I could handle! Thank you for making this approachable. I aspire to get good as good as you one day but that'll be a long time from now! Many Thanks!

@iPandaToast 5 лет назад

Wow I really loved this tutorial !! I have so many old t-shirts that I don't wear anymore but I don't want to throw out. This is a great way to practice sewing and make clothes without having to spend money at the thrift store or on fabric! I'd love it if you could make more tutorials on what you can make with old t-shirts !!

@fernandaruiz142 5 лет назад

Wow this is genius! Lol I have two drawers of free t-shirts from events and high school that I just wear to bed 😂

@coolirpa 5 лет назад

Fernanda Ruiz that was me too! Lol

@butterflypooo 5 лет назад

I think u can make a pretty cute skirt w those t shirts!

@YvesGeorgeSanchez 5 лет назад

This is the reason I watch sewing videos.

@sobreira-martyndesign3317 5 лет назад

Hey April! What an awesome idea! Great way to recycle and to add to gain a new garment at the same time. You ROCK!

@RsbrryBeret 5 лет назад

Love it Coolirpa! Buying a sewing machine is on my goal list because of you!

@coolirpa 5 лет назад

RsbrryBeret yay!!! So worth it

@hambeastdelicioso1600 5 лет назад

I have quite a few tees and polos, so this is great! I especially love the way you did the zipper so that the jacket is reversible because you can make each layer different and show off different designs to suit your mood. I will have to have a few extra shirts, though, since a lot of my tees are saved from years ago and are too small now. Fortunately, that part won't be a problem!

@Sky-nz3ju 5 лет назад

I clicked as soon as the notification popped up. Can’t wait to see how you make this jacket 😍😍

@crispsaturday 4 года назад

I find this so cool and unique! Thanks for showing how to recycle, as the fashion industry is harming the environment and people!

@hannahcrumley3103 5 лет назад

I’m going to make several of these jackets! I LOVE this idea- why didn’t I think of this?🤦🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️😂 I’m glad you did... and that you made this tutorial- you do an excellent job explaining your process!

@jodimcleod3121 5 лет назад

Just made one of these using my son's old t shirts - not quite finished as I need to buy a zip and i only lined the hood not the rest of it as I didn't have enough t shirts. Really pleased with how it turned out and it was quite easy.

@lovebug6491 5 лет назад

Love this ! I can't wait make this. I always wear or keep handy light weight jackets to also protect me from sun exposure. Yours look really cool. Thank you for sharing!🌻🐨

@lovebug6491 5 лет назад

I was thinking the same thing😉💯 so many possibilities, I'm grateful. 😘

@ericarose8609 5 лет назад

Cool how you transformed those into a sweatshirt, so neat!!

@voldemortsniece3019 5 лет назад

exactly what I needed to see! I have been going through all my clothes, giving good ones away to friends and family but I didn't know what to do with the rest. THANK YOU.

@kernelpaniccosplay3616 5 лет назад

I love how Frankenstein-y this looks!

@kitschygirl 5 лет назад

Hi April you can cut a thin strip of fusing and iron it onto the centre front edge before putting your zip in. Make sure you dont stretch the fabric when you are ironing it on. This will give you a nice flat zip. Great videos btw!

@helenaunger6282 5 лет назад

I think this my favorite DIY I've ever seen. Thank you so much for sharing. You did an awesome job and I love your videos.

@themostclevername688 5 лет назад

Fantastic video! I love your channel, April! You convinced me to buy a sewing machine and get over my fear of messing up and just start! I’ve made some...interesting...creations so far but I think little by little I’m getting better! Thanks for helping to make sewing fun!

@coolirpa 5 лет назад

The Most Clever Name haha! They do start off interesting but those are the most fun! Thank you for sharing ❤️

@sewnforsport 5 лет назад

What a great idea for turning shirts into gym hoodies!!!! I too have way too many t-shirts from supplement companies and so This is super helpful! Thanks$!!

@lesleyrosasunstoppable2381 4 года назад

Great tutorial!! Thanks for the idea! I use iron on interfacing tape applied before adding the zipper and gave zero issues with buckling zips now.

@sanahbukhari3265 5 лет назад

Only just found your channel and been binging ever since. Your work is absolutely amazing!!! 💕

@trinesandns4947 5 лет назад

@syudsaad512 5 лет назад

I like it when u always advice us not to be too worried about things not being perfect and take it easy. Because i can get really frustrated if things does not perfect

@WolfGan0178 5 лет назад

I need to try this!!! I love how it looks imperfect, fits into my kinda sporty 90's grunge style perfectly!!

@ninjapuppy8331 5 лет назад

April this is one of the best things you've done yet !! I absolutely love it! I love that it is straight on the bottom rather than banded and that you did double layers. and the design of the shirt that you used for the back is just the coolest I think you did a fabulous job I would love to try it thank you so much for doing this It is truly original by the way I do a thumbs up before even watching because I know what you are going to do will always be absolutely fabulous!

@sapphirecamui6447 5 лет назад

April uses 6 t-shirts to make a hoodie, but a beginner like me would need 10 o.o haha Great idea and thanks for the tutorial!

@raquelkutsch8008 5 лет назад

Incredibly talented!

@Tina_42 5 лет назад

The result is super cool, I love how you just do it. But I would sew the sleeves closer at the bottom like those you can buy and would take the fabric twice at the pockets. Try this next time. :) Oh, and you can only dye natural material (cotton, wool, ...), so maybe the shirts contain too much plastic (like polyester) and that's why they didn't dye so good.

@liveoutloud43 Год назад

It looks so good! Fun and stylish. I think it looks good enough to buy. I underestimated how long of a project this was. But im definitely gonna try this soon!

@kattalainna7436 5 лет назад

I love this. Definitely going to try this when I’m finished with my current projects. I think I’ll even try adding pockets on the inside and using a reversible zipper. Hopefully it turns out as cool as yours!

@lyrarchi1933 5 лет назад

Love this one April!! Definitely giving it a go🤗

You also can leave Clean t-shirts at the bus-stop a lot of people who are going through difficult times can use the clean t-shirts for every day when I see them looking through the box and a smile on their face that makes me feel good about leaving the t-shirts at the bus stop
