Two Weeks ago I found the TREASURE of all TREASURES at my favorite thrift shop! Its this beautiful white and pink checkered vintage blanket! I only paid a few dollars for it and I washed it as soon as I got home! My plan the whole time was to upcycle it into a statement coat, perfect for spring weather and keeping with my *pink era*. The coat inset entirely hand sewn, but I did the blanket stitching my hand! I love the look of these coats, they truly are where fashion meets art "fashionart" if you will 😅👍🏽 its the coziest fashion piece I've made yet, and pairs really well with a lot of my favorite outfits!
**When buying things second-hand always make sure to look it over really well for damages, and wash it when you bring it home

The coat is exquisite and you are hilarious!! I just discovered your site and will be back to see what other fabulous things you do. Well done!!!

@gdhhayes2129 6 месяцев назад

If I find a similar blanket I'll turn it into a swing coat, as I realized that style would look amazing with this blankets pattern

@jpendowski7503 6 месяцев назад

Thanks for a real “make” video not a pretentious tutorial. You showing the pitfalls is a big help. You look great in the coat.

@user-gb1us4rl9m Месяц назад

Thanks for your very real sewing project and including the mistakes. Very inspiring.

You are so charismatic and your video was super entertaining! 👍 That coat is gorgeous! ❤

@AlexandriaLayne 6 месяцев назад

Thank you!! I’ve been wearing this coat EVERYWHERE lately! The temperature has been perfect for it!!!

@lovealwaysmom Год назад

Nice job. You're very relatable. When you were hand sewing on the sofa with your husband on your right and your sister on your left I was giggling. Your arm swinging high and wide and your husband obviously leaning away from you. The awareness that one might get punched in the face or a needle might poke your eye.

@AlexandriaLayne Год назад

Lol he puts up with a lot from me 😂😂 he hates coming up into my sewing area because he is terrified of stepping on a pin 😂🤦🏻‍♀️

@RubyRudi 6 месяцев назад

This is the first time I’ve ever seen one of your videos. Great coat and you look fabulous in it. Thanks for the tips and entertainment on a Friday night.

@TreeHugginT Год назад

The fact that you matched the patterns and the coat is cohesive makes me so happy I could almost cry.

@AlexandriaLayne Год назад

I tried really hard to match the stripes on the hem of the coat!! I’m so glad you noticed that!!!

@TreeHugginT Год назад

@AlexandriaLayne I am OCD and ADHD and that's the kind of things I tend to "hone in on". I've seen other creaters make these and I wanted so bad to love them but I couldn't because they were everywhere. Yours made me and my brain happy. 🩵

@pedrobrunner2192 9 дней назад

The blanket is beautiful. I haven't even got to the end result, but i can tell it is going to look nice. Kinda Barbie-ish. I like it.

@faithfielder9493 6 месяцев назад

I appreciate your sharing your mistakes in the project. It can be a warning, but it's also an encouragement.

@theanimaltherapychannel 2 месяца назад

Found your channel in my feed recently - what a coincidence that I have put the exact same bathrobe in my "never let a gift go to waste - I can use it as a pattern" box. 😂😂

@AlexandriaLayne 2 месяца назад

I have a very similar box at my house! 😂 it has a pair of really hugely buy well fitting pants in it and as soon as I have the time I’m cutting them up and making a pair of the same pants but in a fabric that isn’t so ugly 😂😂

@marionrichardson1523 Год назад

Loving the vibe on your videos. It's fun and that coat is so spring like. I can just about sew a straight line and the way you imagine your projects are amazing.

@AlexandriaLayne Год назад

dude thank you so much! I try to edit the videos as true to my process as possible! sometimes that means it gets a little chaotic, but still good I hope! 😂

@dodgingbullets3503 6 месяцев назад

🐇🕯Very nice...The blanket stitch was the perfect adornment...Bless you and your hubby...

@MoreStephanieHarford Год назад

Simple but boujee haha, love it!! I'm complicated AND boujee. Anyway, it turned out great! And love that you showed a bit of the BTS photo shoot too 'cause I'm just a sucker for all things photo shoots after making something hehehe. The repetitive arm movements causing flare-ups sounds horrible, I get that when I fold too much laundry and any task similar and my shoulder blade area feels in pain, but I've never had an injury so who knows what my excuse is haha.

@AlexandriaLayne Год назад

My shoulder pain comes from years and years of competitive swimming 😂 it’s literally the worst 😂 but a little ice and some yoga and I’m good to go!!

@livecolorful 6 месяцев назад

Omg! We love that pink pattern so much

@CLIPPERTWO2010 Год назад

Love your videos. You are such a fun person. And I love your sense of humour. Your right about those boots they look amazing, but they make you pay for that fact. 😂

@AlexandriaLayne Год назад

I love the look of the boots so much but they totally make you pay! I'm surprised I haven't accidentally broken the heels off yet, or tripped in them 😂

@71babyjay 5 месяцев назад

I’ve done something similar with a wool blanket. My husband wanted a “boreal” coat for woodcutting or anything else in the wilderness in frigid weather. It turned out great.

@Keeperoffyre Год назад

getting serious 60s fashion vibes and i'm for it! great job!

@AlexandriaLayne Год назад

Right?! Like it’s got a bit of that “mod 60’s” vibe? Lol and with the boots it’s even more 😂😂

@lauraoergel6003 Год назад

So glad to see you did this!! It turned out awesome! 🤩 I always love seeing your process.

@AlexandriaLayne Год назад

@marjoriepark1198 6 месяцев назад

Great job. Good conversations… agree with boots. At almost 7 decades I had to give them up 30 years ago after tearing ligaments 2 times in my ankle. Be careful… Keep creating…

@patriciahamel5674 Год назад

I love how you styled it with those boots! So cute!

@AlexandriaLayne Год назад

I need to find new knee high white boots because these ones are so cute but I can barely walk in them 😂😂 they are so unstable!

@patriciahamel5674 Год назад

@@AlexandriaLayne why not get some comfortable boots of any color and use leather paint to make them white? It would make for a cool video, and you could probably get Angelus to partner with you and supply the paint.

@kathoakes929 6 месяцев назад

Your coat looks amazing and great with the boots. Defo 50s vibe.

@robynevans1287 6 месяцев назад

@crcramer1 Год назад

The coat is amazing. I’m living for the pink ❤

@AlexandriaLayne Год назад

I’m so glad you like it!! I’m still surprised it came together! After the shoulder seam ripped I lost a lot of my confidence in the project but it totally came together!

@goodvolks2know372 4 месяца назад

"If you learn anything from my videos - that's on you", you cracked me up when you said that, too funny. I love how you smiled through the stressful parts, that I know aren't fun during a project and could so relate.

@michellepolk4646 6 месяцев назад

I decided to take a quick break and your channel popped up in my feed. So glad. I used to sew my clothes in grammar and high school. I know what it feels like to have that ambition of completing a project in a day. It’s hit or miss. I enjoyed watching. Cute coat. Great personality ❤

@judywilliamson2068 5 месяцев назад

Turned out great! I love the fact that it looks kind of home made. That seems to be the style these days. Upcycling something that already exists into something even better.

@explodedskull2114 9 месяцев назад

That was a great video! Beautiful coat!!👏Wow! It's so much more as a coat than the blanket, excellent vision. I'm about to embark on the blanket coat initiation and am so thankful for your video for multiple reasons such as; making a sewing circle out of the pieces about to be sewn for good vibes, needing snacks, putting overly optimistic timeframes and the pressure to complete things as if I can warp space-time, demonstrating when to stop and being ok with it, picking that blanket! ( I know I would've walked away from big square checks), winging your own pattern, being a taller girl like me, adding lapels-brilliant(I'm totally doing that) and pockets. Now I'm stoked to sew!!! Thanks again.

@AlexandriaLayne 9 месяцев назад

TALL GIRLS UNITE!!! Sending you all the good vibes!!! lol make sure to follow the steps as closely as possible, and never underestimate the power of a sewing snack!

@karmanjones8346 5 месяцев назад

@Makeuploveculture 6 месяцев назад

I think this is such a cute and creative idea and I love this blanket as the fabric to use for this project. I saw another woman using blankets for jackets and she also did an amazing job. I wish I could remember her name at the moment but I can’t😢

@MartyG101 5 месяцев назад

@gladysf5728 6 месяцев назад

Great job! I usually do french seams when using that type of fabric, to prevent them from ripping.

Your coat looks amazing! I really enjoyed your video. I have two 100% pure wool blankets that I got in an op-shop (thrift store) last year that I want to turn into a blanket coat but I haven't found the right pattern yet. I'm looking for one with a hood.

@AlexandriaLayne Год назад

Lol im currently looking for another blanket to make a coat with a hood!! It’s though to find big enough blankets though because I’m 6 feet tall 😂 I would have loved to add a hood on this blanket coat but I used up almost every scrap of the blanket just making what I have 😂 good luck finding a good pattern! I would love to see the finished coats !!!

Superb. I’m impressed. (Your commentaries gave me a bit of anxiety, but I think I can work through that because I really want to look at some of your other videos but we’ll see if my anxiety gets too high I may not be able to go forward) I do love your thought process and how you executed this, and I apologize to much chitchatting, for some reason just gives me anxiety.
