I've done a couple design-as-you-go pieces using border prints and border-printed tablecloths. Using elements of the border scraps as binding and trim made some design desisions so easy! I didn't have to decide how full the skirt would be--I just used the entire length. The width of my bindings were the width of the part of the border I used to make them! It was a long caftan-thing that was a roaring success! I wore it until it was too threadbare. That was a fun project. I've done far too much with used denim to list. I made my own purses out of it for decades with just the right pockets in just the right places.
I haven't tried denim yet but it's on my list for sure. I like letting the elements dictate what you do, it takes the decision-making pressure off 😂
Great idea for saving the ribbing bands from t shirts. Such a fun project!
thanks Prosie!
So, so cute. Love how they came out.
Will be rummaging through my son's & husband's t-shirts for material. 😁
🤣
Love how it looks on you. I really enjoy upcycling tee shirts
thanks Doris!! I haven't really done a lot of upcycling before but I'm really enjoying it!
Brill vlog as ever Gini 😊 love the dress, the band on the bottom of the skirt ties it all together, I definitely prefer the little puff, it's a cute detail ❤️ love the black white and red one too, they are both so much fun 🥰
thanks!! I agree about the bottom band I'm glad I decided to go with that. And, I have to say, I prefer the puff sleeve!
Very cute dress. I love your style!
thank you Sibyl!
Brilliant, thanks, love the use of more than one color ribbing. Color blocked a sweatshirt, really had a quandary what color trim, and here I could have had both. But of course. Thanks for your inspiration!
😂😂😂
That dress is SO FUN!!! I love it. Clever lady!!!
thanks Faith!!
Fun and inspiring!

Turned out so cute. Great way to use t-shirts.
thanks Victoria !
So creative and adorable. Thank you for the tutorial!

Thank you, Gini! Super cute!❤
thanks Robyn!
Wow---the opportunities are endless with this concept----so cute!!! Gee, I can see pajama tops, & nighties, tanks---I'd like to do a top in dark colors---so fun for summer. I think you're right about the importance of being flexible with the design (ha. Maybe the hardest part!!!)
OMG now you have me thinking of sleepwear!
Love it! Even more love those spotty tights/leggings! X
Thanks Sally, Those are "Avery" leggings from Helen's closet and they are my faves!!
@ thank you Gini! I do wish there was a way to send you photos! I have made a gorgeous lined Ilford and some smart Bobs, I think hmm, Gini would approve! But I don’t use book or instagram..guess you don’t give out an email address? X
@@sallyvaughan1231 glenning64@comcast.net make sure to put "the big sew along" in the subject line so I don't miss it! I can't wait to see what you've made!
Love this ❤
thank you Valerie!
So cool! I love this dress idea! Now I want to go find barely used tees and get the pattern❤️
I think you'll be glad to have one of these come summertime. I can see myself wearing this all the time!
@ I looked through tees at the thrift store yesterday. I haven’t found anything yet. I walked through knitted garments too looking for natural fiber yarn items… nothing. There is a church thrift store here that I should visit. It’s much larger.
@@bluegrassdreams2seams510 church charity shops are the best!!
Love your dress, Gini ❣️❤️
thank you Sabine!
Very cool! Have you seen Tessuti's new dress pattern? I really like it but cant decide if the TSW Edgewater is too similar in design and I already have that ...and have made it. Its not, of course, exactly the same, but a similar look. Oh, btw, Zullily has Fly Londons on sale and I saw a pair of golden yellow boots. I didnt pay super close attention because I was looking for another style. There are a couple other great boots and shoes...and sandals...but colors/sizes are limited.
I'll definitely check Zoolily! Thanks for the tip. I feel like the new Tessuti dress is different enough from the Edgewater to have them both but then, that's me talking and I'm probably not the best judge 😂
I like it, thank you. Can you show us hou to make a tankini?
Good question. I think I'll be making a swim suit pretty soon (next month or so) and I'll definitely do a video of that. I'm not sure it will be a tankini but the principles will be the same
Gorgeous
thanks 😃
