THRIFT FLIP: Transforming *BORING* clothes i never wear because I got COVID!!!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi Eggies!!! Bad news...I got COVID!!! So, while I spend the next couple weeks quarantining, let's work on thrift flipping some clothes. We're tackling the coquette sneaker trend, making a dress from a t-shirt, elevating a tie, and spicing up a basic sleeveless top. Watch along to see if I am able to SUCCESSFULLY transform these pieces and hopefully you get some inspo to try these out yourselves!

You remind me of a friend I had in middle school. I loved being her friend bc I was allowed to be my whimsical and spunky self without weird looks lol love this video🤍

If you do the star insert again - sew the mesh onto the shirt and then cut the t-shirt from under it. You won't be fighting with the wide opening.

Just a little seamstress tip for you if you like, for the next time you add eyelets. When you punch the hole, put a small piece of soft wood under the fabric, to absorb some of the sound and make the tool pierce the fabric better. By the way all your creations are awesome!💟

Girl, you are like the real life Mikako of Ai Yazawa's mangas. The style, the spunk, the relentless creativity, the positive attitude - and the looks! You've got it all. (And that tie is something that her character Arashi would totally wear.)

Your so creative girl! And i’m so glad your safe from the hurricane, get better soon love 💗

Very cute flips! Tips for future sewing:
* if you replace sleeves you can use the original sleeves as a pattern
* for puff sleeves there are a lot of tutorials how to make a puff sleeve pattern, works especially if you have the original sleeves as a pattern.

Sleeves are one of the most difficult parts of sewing and you learn as you go. Have fun 😊

I love how whimsical and flamboyant your style is! Definitely inspo for my heart! You're amazing 💜 Thanks for all your hard work 😊

So glad you're feeling better!

For real, this is the most creative and interesting thrift flip/upcycle fashion video I've seen in AGES! Usually people who do thrift flip videos just make the tops cropped and the skirts into mini skirts and call that thrift flipping - those videos are so boring! But your ideas were all super creative and inventive. LOVE!!!

I have to let you know, because I recently had the same problem with making eyelets!
~~Use the regular hammer and not the rubber mallet~~
I know its way noisier 🥲 but the rubber one is designed to absorb some of the force so it isnt going to be as reliable for cutting the fabric and installing the eyelets. It was SO much easier when I switched tools!

[stalesunday]

making an item you never wear into your new favorite thing is the best feeling in the world!

The tie is soooo awesome 100% going to These are truely adorable even tho your situation is unfortunate at least your creativity isn't trapped!! <3

First time viewer. Y'all are cute as a button!

I'm 59 and totally a maximalist. I think it used to weird my husband out but now he hears people compliment my style so he is on board.

I think, for the shoulder issue, i would have run thread through along the top seem, from neckline to sleeve, then pull it to ruffle it up to where you want it to hit on the top of your shoulder, then tie it off.

It's lovely and you make good calls. I enjoy hearing you talk it through.

God bless!

for the first flip, butterfly wings would also be an epic cutout shape bc I'm such a butterfly girly lately.
Thanks for the idea!

[naughtybunny]

Your thrift flips always make me so nervous but they turn out soooo well. Good job!

[ailinafernandez]

I don't know how you have the absolute TALENT to eat up every single thrift flip in this video but you certainly do!! i loved all the projects and am def inspired to go diy the shit out of my clothes rn!!

[Marialla.]

To bring in the waist on the dress, I'd add pink lacing ribbons criss-crossed in the back. Maybe sew fabric loops at the sides, made from leftover cutoffs from the shirt, to thread the laces through.

[sakura_frosting]

Looks like the magazine the tie is from could be a volume of Gothic and Lolita Bible which usually has DIY projects in it if you want more inspirations and patterns

[Marialla.]

To pull the shoulders up a bit on the dress so they're not a drop-shoulder style, I'd either run a gathering stitch down the seam to ruche it up, or I'd cut a tiny hole at either end of that seam to insert a ribbon lace. Just tie the lace into a bow as tight as you like to gather it a little or a lot, and then you have the bow detail as well! It would look very sweet with long dangly ends, maybe even with charms sewn to the ends of the ribbon.
