❤The third blue top that you did isn't actually a dress but kind of a tunic that is worn by Indian women and is called a KURTA. We pair these with some trousers, or even skirts.
And the design isn't really vintage but a machine copy of one of India's oldest embroidery techniques known as "chikan Kari"

You can google "kurta" "chikan Kari" and you'll know.
So in love with all your videos!!

an easier way to keep a hem is to just fold the garment up to where you want it to be(inside folding to out), sew around the end of the hem, then cut out the fold in the middle. Takes less cutting and does the exact same thing!

Another way to handle embroidery is to place a different embroidered patch over the logo. I got some cutesy animal patches and covered the name of an old workplace so I could continue wearing my old scrubs at new jobs. This was easier than picking out embroidery and many times, the fabric can be damaged or faded around a heavily embroidered logo so this works for those situations as well.

I learned on YouTube that seamripping a straight seam works better if you insert the shorter and less pointy of the two needles - you can just slide trough the seam.

Now this a few thrift flip! No cropping it and it’s done videos. 💕

OMG i recently did a thrift flip myself, i kinda messed up but it’s still wearable, i read somewhere that perfection is the enemy of progress, so i’ll keep on practicing it doesn’t have to be perfect. Your thrift flips were amazing and Luna in the back, the cherry on top.

Sewing is definitely a skill that more people should know to reduce waste and not support fast fashion ♻️🍄✨✨✨✨

[jananiravikrishnan]

That blue top looks like an Indian kurtha top because of the slits and pattern! You did a great job making it into a two piece, going to have to try that!

[hirkegg]

wow, the vintage print dress is amazing, I wish I had something similar, the earthy rich colors are just my colors :) love it

[mushirahabib]

I am so early and still watching the video. But just saw Luna baby kneading in the background and could NOT NOT comment! 😭😭😭😻😻😻

Your recreates are fun! I love kitty cat, tho. That's some cute floof!

Seamripping tip: of you find yourself getting annoyed with it, stop, and come back later. When I get annoyed, I get impatient, and I start cutting through the fabric.

If you're cutting through thick fabrics with any frequency, you should also consider investing in a 60 mm rotary cutter. I got a nice ergonomic Olfa like 50% in a closing sale, and it's amazing for things like double layers of fleece. Also, always measure twice, cut once.

LOVE it. Feeling so inspired. Just bought a sewing machine, but I'm super intimidated. No idea how to use it yet.

[nicolehubbard]

I have a fleece jacket that I want to remove the embroidery from, but wasn't sure how that would go, so thank you!

[tinytinalea]

I'm so excited to see sewing content from you!!

[MyraNagy]

This is a cool video. I think you can show people how to patch over the embroidery on the first one but I love the second one the most. All you needed was a quilting ruler (long ruler) and you could have cut that straight. Thanks for showing us.

[katiebeantown]

The blue two piece is so cute! They all look great, I just love the vision you had for that. Great job

[brenda]

loved this 💗💕 your cat in the background of the video was so cute🥰

[reallyvivian]
