Want to see more "scrappy happy" ? :) here is another episode of this series - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2l0r4EL5r-s.html

@julianachandler2975 Год назад

You are definitely the scrap-master. 😊 Awesomely, inspiring.

@mufithabuhari4021 Год назад

Wow Alisa, this is the best of all the scrap fabric videos you have done so far. Super creative. Tons of inspirations. Thank you so much.

On the palm print, how about “Stay calm” or Stay Palm”?

Omg, that's so cute!!!

@katwitanruna Год назад

Loving the scrappy series!

@barbaraandrews402 Год назад

I find creating from leftover fabric is so satisfying. I love all four of today's makes. You have given me an idea for a print panel I bought and never used so thanks for that too!

@ThoughtfulCreativity Год назад

Oh yes, that's good thinking about knit panels, now you have given me an idea :)

I liked all of the shirts but was especially impressed by the shirt with the 3 horizontal bands; superb! (And very flattering, also)! I am going to try that one, for sure!

@sroscoe8038 Год назад

Loved all your creations unique to you ,your enthusiasm is inspiring thankyou

@henriettelinkshanderin1449 Год назад

I love this! For me sewing with scraps or upcycling unloved garments is much easier than sewing with new fabric because if I fail it didn't cost any money and I learn so much every time. New fabric overwhelms me because I feel pressured to make something that is perfect. When I started sewing at the age of 13 I used scraps from my sister's sewing projects and old clothes and I just played with them. I recommend everyone to try that and to let their kids try that, too.

@ireneparker8253 Год назад

I love these ideas. I think your solution for the sleeve was perfect. Because it shows how you can make the smallest scraps work. Cotton Lycra is my favorite fabric. I always have loads of scraps. It is too pricey to let any of it go to waste. Thanks!

@ThoughtfulCreativity Год назад

You're so right, Irene, about using even the smallest parts of the fabric and yesssssss.... good cotton lycra can be pricey, so no way I am letting any of that go :D

@anitabruzelius3905 Год назад

I zoo love the way you create. It inspires me so much. To me it is no rules just have fun, and that is what makes me happy. I started my sewing with cutting apart a favorite longsleved t-shirt into small pieces and then like two more and putting them back together. I love that top. even if i made some misstakes.

@MarahScott Год назад

Love that wave colorblocked tee! Thank you for the idea

@vivenna Год назад

Absolutely love all of your color blocking ideas and results! You inspired me to sew many color blocked shirts myself and they usually end up being the most fun projects! :) The wave one as well as the striped last one are definitely on a mental bookmark - might make something similar in the future :)

@pavlal.4552 Год назад

@ThoughtfulCreativity Год назад

Ha ha, lol, was that K-pop? I have no idea, I just like the beat, lol, cheery and fun :)

@MiddleEastMilli Год назад

@@ThoughtfulCreativity It was not originally k-pop but they were some kind of remake of a very popular k-pop drama's music! No joke! I think the name was Heirs with Lee Min Ho. A very PG yet grown up drama series. See if you can find it.......even if it just a couple of episodes......it will lighten up your heart especially toward the end! Good ending!

LOVE your hacked t-shirts! In my humble opinion, you exceeded yourself with all three! In my mind, I'm seeing a t-shirt made in three shades of white. I'll know the colors when I get them. You inspire me & I sincerely appreciate what you do in your videos. THANK YOU, ALISA❤

@zenaidanegron6943 Год назад

@jacquipayne7346 Год назад

where's the SUPER like button? LOVE all the shirts you made, amazing!!!!

@swiinka Год назад

I love your scrap busting videos (not that there was anything wrong with the pattern drafting ones!). A wee idea to build on top of the one with a large rectangle block in the middle: make it a patch and even have it fray/roll a bit on purpose. Could be a nice, grungy vibe :) That wave t-shirt is amazing! Many would probably go for dolmen sleeve to make their life easier, but not you :)

@ThoughtfulCreativity Год назад

he he :) oh yea, the patch would work if you have enough for a full front pattern piece, but in this case it works since you can use up small fabric scraps to "build out" the front pattern piece around that rectangle. I do patches/applique on my daughter's t-shirts a lot (mostly to cover stains, lol). Ah, you read my mind, I would go for a dolman sleeve for the wave one, but I did not have enough width of the black knit because I cut it out from the existing t-shirt with logos, and the t-shirt was my actual size, so I could not cut out the dolman sleeve, aggrgrgr :D

@swiinka Год назад

@@ThoughtfulCreativity ah, right I forgot you were working with a rtw tee! BTW a patch could be a good idea to cover logos up 😜

@juliebute4063 Год назад

Great garments. Love them all!!!!

@vickismallwood2082 Год назад

I love this idea. At first I was thinking this isn't for me until I started watching how easy it is to play with the material. This has inspired me to try using scraps that I would otherwise have never thought about. My favorite 2 are the lemon shirt and the three different colors. Thank you for pushing me out side my comfort zone. I just love your enthusiasm.

@harukazeeh 11 месяцев назад

This is a very nice scrap fabric combination project! The first one you made is kind of the same as the t-shirts I combined to make a shirt. i don't like the prints so I combined them by cutting a rectangle in the yellow shirt and I cut a black rectangle, sew it in the yellow shirt and added randomly placed yellow strips on top of the black rectangle. I hand-sewn it and I still wear it often for 4 years! Upcycling is really fun!

@petro3441 Год назад

Amazing what you can come up with...❤

@lvlatka Год назад

Wow, thanks for inspiring me, have alotta knit, jersey scraps. Will give it a try😊

@theresaanndiaz3179 Год назад

I love the swoop tee the best, I think continuing it under the arm is very clever. The blush shows up well on the triple scrap tee. I would like it better if the bottom was black, the white is too much contrast for me, it draws my eye rather than blends. However, in the white tee with the square the pops of white in the pattern are what makes it so successful. I am very impressed and inspired by them all.

@ThoughtfulCreativity Год назад

Liss, I hope you get a chance to get back to sewing, I find that hand-sewing is very relaxing and does not require pulling out a sewing machine and other tools, so it can be an "on the go" hobby. In the meantime - thank you for watching :)

@gravedigger447 Год назад

@rickbrowder7161 Год назад

Those were awesome, favorite is asymmetrical curvy line; the right sleeve should have shown more of the stripe ,maybe about halfway up the sleeve arm, and the 3 different color patterns was also wonderful liked that very much. Asymmetrical patterns would be great, lot of potential for different contrasting patterns. Thank you very much. Enjoyed this video.rab.

I know what's easier put the pattern fabric on a t-shirt you already have😊. Or make a t-shirt then add the fabric on top. Easy as pie.

@ThoughtfulCreativity Год назад

Yes, you can do that as well, and I do that with applique, usually with hearts, but the point of this is to use up fabric scraps, like in the case of yellow knit - I had enough for the panels, but not enough to cut full pattern pieces so arranging the panels around a rectangle works out better than what you suggested, when with talk about using up scraps.
