    I started watching you long before I sewed anything myself, just because I love to see how creative you are and how you can turn old dull clothing into something amazing! Then I ordered some clothes online and it was too long for me since I'm so short. Then I thought I could just borrow my mum's sewing machine and fix it, and I'm so happy with the result! Now I want to sew my own clothing too! You inspire me so much! I love everything you do, thanks for sharing your talent with us April 😊

    I love your use of the leftover fabrics. I'm piling up some from mini sewing projects and now have an idea or two on what to do with them😊

  • @jordilatu856

    I love the idea of using those collars that way, the top came out so cute! I love what you did with the extra material too.. no waste!

    I love how you "confess" your mistakes so that beginning seamstresses don't feel so stupid when we make our own flubs! I also love that your recycled art is so cute and functional. Thanks for being so honest with us :)

  • @rhijulbec1

    I so appreciate the detailed instructions. I'm making some scrub-esque outfits, & a hat, for my mother, for chemo therapy.
    I could just use a pattern, but wanted to make something a little extra-special. Time is a factor, so having you as a kind of buddy in my ear, guiding me through the steps, has made it considerably more pleasant, & far less stressful. THANK YOU!

    Hi April! Just an idea but what would you feel about buying cheap ebaydresses, that RARELY look like they should and transforming them into the dresses they should look like or just simply reshaping them into cooler, trendy dresses?
    I'd find this really interesting and weirdly enough, after a quick search, theres no other similar videos on YT.
    Love your videos and your style!

      @brandonyarchuk 7 лет назад +56

      It's a cool concept, but I'm assuming she does Thrifted Transformations, at least partially, because she is interested in upcycling and sustainable practices. :) Those cheap dresses from eBay are produced unethically and only contribute to the immense waste generated by the fashion industry. Definitely not trying to attack your suggestion, just replying with what came to mind!

    • @sarahmunoz5749
      @sarahmunoz5749 7 лет назад +4

      Brandon Yarchuk agreed!!

    • @Liljamattila
      @Liljamattila 7 лет назад +8

      Dont worry Brandon :) It actually occured to me aswell after writing the comment, that the idea might not be the best fit for her channel. Like you said: It is called thrifted for reason.
      Maybe my comment inspires someone else to execute the idea. Id do it if my sewing skills werent so damn poor. :D

    • @brandonyarchuk
      @brandonyarchuk 7 лет назад +7

      Lilja Mattila It is an oddly specific situation, but it could work if she knew someone who bought a cheap dress, got something other than what they were expecting, and then she transformed that!

    • @Liljamattila
      @Liljamattila 7 лет назад

      Brandon Yarchuk Id imagine everyone knowing someone in their circle who got screwed by the cheap prices of ebay/online stores and received something not expected.. tbh Ive been there 😂😂

    It's amazing that you can make so many different items with just two shirts! I've always been wondering if there was your own way of storing/using all the leftover fabric pieces. I would love to see a video about that. Btw your sister looks awesome in that dress!

    Just a little tip for gathering... zig zag over upholstery thread. Make a knot at one end. Zig zag over it then leave a long piece at the other end just to make sure you don't pull it thru. Have fun and love your ideas

    Gorgeous! Not only is the idea ingenious, I also love that this is something even a , you know, "grown up, professional woman" can wear....especially the first one. I don't need to dress very formal for work, but stuff that's obviously diy is kind of a no go...and I like to use my precious sewing time for clothing I'm actually going to wear on regular basis. And this one is definitely a winner!

    Dear April, I think you are quite genius. You are so talented and skilled at refashioning and design. I'm also glad that you so matter of factly say that you messed your cutting and so need to change your design. It makes me feel better about all my mistakes. I think it encourages people to try things without so much worry about mistakes.

    What a cute summer dress! Just a suggestion, but I find it much easier to put the elastic in the casing as the last step. That way you don't have to stretch to pin and sew. Everything is flat until the very end.
