combining two thrift finds to make the dress of my dreams

Sew a bohemian dreamy dress yourself! No patterns, no measurements, no skills required. Very easy tutorial on how to make your own boho flowy dress with bell sleeves out of a thrifted shirt and maxi skirt. I want to show how easy it is to make yourself something that you would love and wear and help the planet by upcycling old items of clothing. Think creatively and don't be afraid to make mistakes. Every mistake is either fixable or not noticeable for other people's eyes. Refashioning is easy and fun and you absolutely can do it!

You don't even need the sewing machine if you don't have one, you can sew everything by hand which will take a lot more time, but it is absolutely possible.

If you need to learn some techniques I used in a video, here are some videos by other wonderful creators out there. It is never too late to learn <3

Hi, I just have one small suggestion I didn't see mentioned in the video and that is seam finishing. I'm speaking from experience of the heartbreak of having a garment I worked hard on fall to unsalvagable bits when I washed it because the fabric frayed to the seams. A french seam would work great on this light fabric or you can always "over lock" with a zig zag stitch along the edge of the fabric or invest in a overlock foot which honestly just looks a bit neater but serves the same purpose as a simple zig zag. These don't cut the fabric like an overlock machine but "seals" that edge so it will hold up to many washings in the same way. Some fabrics are worse than others for fraying but I've learned it's better to be safe than sorry. Anyway I love the dress it turned out beautifully and so did the video. Thank you and I hope I didn't come across as critical, I just felt the need to share my experience so others can hopefully avoid this heartbreaking mistake I still get a pang in my heart when I think about taking that tattered skirt out of the wash.

Thank you💖 This was so very helpful and I’m so excited to try this out for myself 😊

I love this sosososo much thank you for such a beautiful video. Something I noticed is the direction you place your pins, my gramma taught me that if you place them the opposite way shown in this vid, which would be the sharp end facing the machine and the round end facing you :), they're easier to slip out and keep sewing! (unless of course you just don't prefer that way, just something I noticed that may help!) So happy I found your channel, all the love your way<3
