For hemming a beaded dress you can pick or cut off all the beads on the hem allowance so you won't break needles. If you were making it from scratch with a beaded fabric, you'd also cut off the beads from the seam allowances.

You are very talented. I am a 60 year old woman who does thrift flips all the time! Cheers!!

Those tie up shirts came out great. That gives me a good idea of how to make some puffy sleeve shirts without making it from scratch!

Aside from breaking the needles on the beaded dress, which can be remedied by removing the beads in the hem area, the continued needles breaking could be all sorts of thing but my guess would be (after so many needle changes) is that they're being installed wrong.... make sure the flat side of the needle is against the machine or it'll roll around and hit the throat plate.. snap, break! Fun you go girl!

I love the black dress. If you go to an 80's party, team the black dress with black tights, black Doc Martens style boots and a denim jacket.

Great flips. If your sewing machine is still breaking needles, it might be that it's got misaligned or there might be a bit of broken bead/needles in the mashine still (I've had that issue). Sometimes a good clean out of the insides fixes it. If it doesn't, a service of the mashine should fix it.

You are AMAZING!!! Loved all your projects… keep up the good work… not many of us learned to sew (me included) and it’s so refreshing to see someone as young as you sewing.🥰

[mildreddiaz]

Everything came out so nice and looks beautiful on you. You did a great job. 🥰

You could make a skirt or another top with the leftover of the dress. You did a great job! They all look cute❤️

[sanchez]

Nice presentation, really cute designs. Thank you. Sometimes a skirt can be made shorter from the waist. It might be possible to avoid removing and reattaching the lace from the hemline. I will be happy to see more of your designs … 😊

I love the blouse it turned out great!

[RomiNa-womu]

Those navy ribbons turned out adorable on it

[janetwhiteman]

You have such good vision. Everything turned out beautifully, and at a bargain price . Well done you !

When working with beads or sequins you need to remove the beading in the seam area before sewing.

I’m sure you’ve gotten lots of advice, but this might be new/fresh:
•you can put the ties slightly in/under, so they tie the top flush with no gaps, like the one in the picture you showed (looks cute either way though)
•THIS IS MY HOLY GRAIL for sequined items. If the dress gives you a rash under your arms, or irritates your skin, you can remove sequins (beads are usually fine to leave on) by cutting them individually from the outside toward the hole but DON’T cut the thread bc then sometimes you end up w a mess to fix. I have sensitive skin and always get a rash from sequins under my arms.
•(your needles might be breaking due to alignment?? Idk a ton abt that but I hope it gets squared)

I love the blue gingham top so much! My favorite.

TY for sharing this, I loved it

[shananigans]

Too bad you don’t like longer dresses cus it was gorgeous. 😢

Loved the rest of the flips! Good to see old pieces getting a new life❤

YOU ARE SO TALENTED!!!
I just found your channel and you have me mesmerized @! I am inspired beyond words!! Great job!!!❤

If you wanted to wear without an extra hot layer you could probably sew up the center and just have the top bow functional. It might be easier to whip or blinf stitch the bows. Sometimes the machine just complicates some things. I would just get the edges and not even try to go all the way through.

[loisannarter]

You are so clever and charming. Instead of whining about what you don’t have, you came up with a really cute way to have some things that look better than the ones you can buy.. adorable

[cynthiabustamante]

That dress is amazing! I never thought to make a longer dress shorter. I only sew by hand. Maybe that's why. I think I'll give it a try.
