Hi there! In this video, I attempt to sew my very first piece of clothing. I thrifted a maxi skirt, which I will use to sew a new dress by copying the pattern of a Reformation dress I already own. To me, the thought of sewing has always been daunting, but I feel like I've demystified the process by just throwing myself into this project. A major source of inspiration for me has been the talented Wendy from withwendy ( / withwendy . She made a video explaining how to clone your clothes: • How to Make Patterns f...

That yellow floral fabric is a liberty cotton. It's a really good quality cotton. Pro tip: sew the straps in between the lining and and the cotton when assembling them. That way the stitch is hidden. Really good job though!

@JuniperBronze 4 года назад

That's a really great thrifted item then! How can you tell if something is a liberty cotton?

@victoriahansen4028 4 года назад

@@JuniperBronze liberty of London is known for their micro floral prints. So maybe she recognized the specific one?

It's truly impressive. Please do more thrift flip videos and sewing tutorials, you're really so good at it! And your voice is really so clear and calming, I love it.

@AmandaWright 5 лет назад

Wow thank you❤️ I’ll have a new one soon!

PLEASE DO MORE THIS WAS AMAZING!! I feel very inspired to thrift flip clothing instead of just contributing to fast fashion which is ultimately contributing to global warming (sry this was long)

@ljspex5522 4 года назад

Just stumbled on your channel and am loving your videos. As a sewing teacher, I love what you’ve done! I often recommend the same book to those new to sewing clothing. It’s just a personal favorite and great for people who want to make patterns and use salvage material from thrifted items. It’s “Design-It-Yourself Clothes: Patternmaking Simplified” by Cal Patch if you want to look it up. I’m not affiliated with the author, I just love it as an instructor.

@AmandaWright 4 года назад

Thanks for the recommendation! I’ll have to look it up😊

@sarahthequeen1 4 года назад

Next time, use the zipper foot attachment. You will have better results.

@heathflowers8835 5 лет назад

Very impressive ! I don't think i'd ever have the skill and patience to do something like that ;)

@melliedearwolf 4 года назад

This video was in my recommendations. The second you started talking I thought you sounded danish (the accent, I guess?). Then I saw the furniture/living space and again I thought it looked super danish. Then I checked and as far as I can tell you're from Denmark... Hahaha. I liked the video! :D

@leableue46 4 года назад

@idk5506 5 лет назад

@Vanehappy 4 года назад

does anyone has a pattern that looks like that one since i dont have a ref dress or anything that looks like it?

@merlinarthur8748 4 года назад

The pattern is from Liberty. You can buy directly from fabric suppliers by searching Liberty Fabric or look at thrift shops and second hand websites/apps for old liberty print garments. Hope that helps you.

@merlinarthur8748 4 года назад

As for a dress pattern, the reformation dress is a sundress so that would be a pattern to look for. It is fairly easy to follow the pattern shapes in this video but if you struggle then this is a close pattern and others like this one linked should help. Just adjust to suit, i.e remove button and pockets, and add a few inches to centre of the bust to create a more 'straight' neckline. www.stylearc.com/shop/sewing-patterns/ariana-woven-dress/?epik=dj0yJnU9UGJnYmVLX2REbXZHdmRIZzFmTmlES1psM2J2UVBWUzQmbj1GNFpKQmNMTmExc1dibDY2Rm51OXVRJm09MyZ0PUFBQUFBRjRFbjhB

This was awesome! If you're interesting of doing more of these, I recommend watching Annika Victoria. She's the reason I started sewing actual clothing.

@AmandaWright 4 года назад

Yeah I watch her too, she’s so talented!

@csilagh4148 4 года назад

You did a really good job and I may be just overestimating but it looked in some parts that your fabric was bunching and that your thread appeared very prominent, almost 3-D. If you ran your finger along it and it felt super rigid or just that you noticeably felt it under your finger at all, or if the holes/bobbin thread were prominent from the other side, I would check your tension. Bad tension, either too high or too low, can lead to issues like these. If you didn’t have that issue then this is a tip for the future!

@ayo_hitman_bang_introduces 4 года назад

Hey. This is such a lovely video. Thank you...I've rewatched it twice in a bid to prepare for my own thrift flip. I have a few questions: 1. What lining fabric did you use? 2. Which store did you get it from and do they sell online?

@hlkort 4 года назад

Well done for your first garment! That was really impressive. Love the care you take for the finishes. I never handsewed anything on my first projects 😅 zippers take a bit of practice but there are great tutorials. Also I think you have a concealed zipper there, which works best with a special foot. If you don't want visible stitching on the outside of the top you can understitch instead. That works very well. Intrigued to see what you do next!

I would be making my own dresses like this, but sadly my sewing machine has broken. I've always loved to sew so now that I can't, makes me very disappointed. Though I love watching videos like this!
