I love the statement of 'as long as you get to where you're going, does it matter how you got there'. Loved this journey and ideas
I landed here by accident. And I'm so glad I did! I've been sewing for over 50 years & you reminded me of how much fun sewing was for me when I was first learning. I remade my own clothes & clothes my grandmother & aunt gave to me. I made it up as I went along. From their leftover scraps & I made skirt, shorts & tops... Don't apologize because you don't know the "correct" way to do something or what the terminology is. That doesn't matter. What matters is passion! And you have it! You will figure it out! Just like you did in this video. As long as you get the results you want. Right! The simplest & best advice I give to anyone starting out is "clip your threads & use your iron." Those 2 things go a long way in making a sewing project look good. I wish you all the best & much success!❤
This was the nicest comment, thank you so much for writing it and believing in me! Are you still sewing? Any fun projects on the go?
I still sew. I don't have anything going on right now. I need to hem 2 pairs of curtains first. I bought a cute little black dress at Goodwill. I don't do sleeveless, so I'm going to cut the top off & make a skirt. It's cute with layers of gathers & ruffles.
Sometimes those hemming projects really do pile-up, I have so many I need to complete!@@nitagail77
You have verbal diareah..
Such a nice, genuine comment. My grandma used to sew and more until her arthritis got too bad. I love that she taught me artistic skills from a young age. It was and still is my passion. I love creating. I am learning new techniques every time I sit down at my desk. “Clip your threads and use your iron” got it. Thank you❤ also @tasha I just stumbled onto your videos and I subscribe after watching this video. You inspire me. Time to get to work.
Knowing the "correct" sewing terms doesn't make you better at sewing, it only helps you understand other peoples' explanations. Practice is the only thing that makes you more skilled.
I have literally been sewing for decades and I still sew things inside out, it just happens sometimes.
I really like what you've done.
Yes, please!, do more of these! I used to know how to sew years ago but haven't done much since then. You have great ideas and the end results are so cute!
I've seen videos where pants like that are referred to as secret pants. They turned out so good. I love that they have the flowy look of a skirt but the comfort of pants. I really want to make some for myself now.
oh those turned out so well I'm actually jealous...LOL - love them both. I do this with things all the time - in fact I will sometimes buy something with its transformation already in my head when I 'm in the thrift shop. More of this please!
Loving how you transformed both pieces of clothes! They def look a lot cuter ❤
I’ve been doing a lot of this. Taking tees and cutting them off, adding fabric to bottom and making dresses (maxi). So fun
Love your ideas ❤
I love how the pants turned out!
Love the "plan a, plan b, plan c approach! Especially for the robe idea!!! Thats so cute ! In the south we call the outside robes "cover ups" so we can pretwnd its cold outside
You killed it! You’ve inspired me to dust off my machines and create a whole new wardrobe with my pieces!
Loved this! I started sewing about 18 months ago and I'm absolutely obsessed! I don't upcycle too many things but I make my own clothes from scratch now and it's my favourite hobby and it's all I want to do now. Both your projects turned out great! It's incredible how far some basic sewing knowledge can take you and the way it opens up possibilities when thrifting or looking at pieces in your wardrobe you never wear.
Yes, please do more! You are excellent in explaining why you make the changes and how you do them. Thank you from a new subscriber!
Thank you so much for subscribing, it means the world to me!!!
This video was so wholesome, relatable, and motivating 💕
I would definitely watch more!
I have that same dress that you made into a robe. And I have never worn it! Just didn’t do anything for me! But now I’m inspired! I was going to cut it off and make a blouse but I really love the duster! Thanks for the inspo!!! 🎉
Ahhh!! I hope you make it!!!
That brand is gorgeous! You did a great job transforming them into things you (and I) love.
"Essentially" 😂. Love your bravery, just jumping in there!
Omg you just gave me the best idea ever! I’m doing a no buy and I was really Temped to buy certain items and declutter my old clothes. Now I want to take the dresses I don’t wear and make them into skirts or have someone do it for as I don’t know how to sew. You just saved me a lot of money!❤
Your vision for how to change both garments was inspiring. Thanks!
The robe came out stunning! Great job Tasha ✨
Love the secret pants......it's actually inspired me to do something with some of my clothes I don't wear but like.
The pants turned out amazing!! Loving your content and how much you’re uploading!! The studio is adorable!
I love this idea. I've been wanting to do this but I don't have a sewing machine. They turned out great. I really like how the dress to duster turned out. I would definitely like to see more videos like this. Give the doggos some lovin from me.😂
I loved this video!! Please do more of these sewing/upcycling videos. I have several pieces in my closet that I want to change and upcycle and now you have motivated me to get them done!! I have already removed the elastic from several blouse sleeves and they look a million times better. ❤
This was fantastic! 👏 Definitely do more of these. Even just your life philosophy on sewing was worth the watch 😄
I have a lovely dress that I don't use much for some reason and I just realised is the sleeves!!
True inspirational. I will get rid of the elastic.
I love your channel. Im 80 years old and love watching creative projects. Yours is amazing and practical. You rock! Do more!
I love this ❤ would be 100% down to watch you update more of your clothes 😍
I am so proud of you. Very brave to these updos on camera. You are inspiring me to do myself. You are awesome.
Brilliant! Both pieces look professional and are absolutely inspirational.
Please do more of these. Great content for learning how to look at what a garment can become!
Amazing transformations! The pants are amazing and YES I WANT MORE ❤
SO cute! Great idea, Angela! I'm in the middle of turning a pair of sweat pants into a skirt.😊 Thanks for sharing this genius upcycles🙏❤️🌺
I'm going to start this same journey soon. It's refreshing to find somebody with the same skill level and your giving me the confidence to make the first cut.
Oh this makes me so happy. Truly, there’s no better feeling than making something you love that fits you perfectly. 😭
I've been meaning to do this too. I have a stack of clothes to fix but my sewing skills are also mediocre haha. I am very envious of those pants im so glad you did this!
Both came out really cute! I really like the kimono!!
You did a great job! the pieces look so much better after you altered them. I've been sewing 10 years, and you did great!
Gosh, what a compliment coming from you! Question, when doing the seem, like let's say for the legs, any tips on not having that raw edge? would i fold the seam twice?
you could fold the seam twice, but thats typically used for hems only. I would try the zig zag stitch on your machine. sew along the edges of the raw edge after you do your straight stitch. that should hold it just fine.@@TashaLeelyn
Oh I love both creations. Very inspiring. Thanks.
Ive been remaking thrift clothes since about age 10 and also using patterns. Only in early 70s through 80s did I find material cost effective to work with. Back to upcycling thrift again. I was actually taught to use my mother's treadle age 5. First making paper stamps. Did a bit of kid sewng like doll pillow etc. Was taught to do hand mending too. Sew on buttons. Im 68 now. Retired a bit rural a town of 2,000 in high desert and I guess Im the town mender. Ive tried teaching but keep getting no shows. Started a blog for upcycle but thats way behind. My mother had a saying....the machine sews a straight line, you are the creator! I alter sleeves a lot. For one at my age I wont wear sleeveless or short sleeves! Often I take cap sleeves off tshirts and remake them out of lace. To note you only need to trace the cap in any sleeve to a few inches down the arm. You can then do whatever you want below that. I like 3/4. Sometimes I add a cuff of main body of top or gather in elastic. The first dress if you wanted could have taken all the gathers out of the sleeve, recut to match armseye and if me I would have made 3/4 with a gather. The sleeves were wide because of the top gathers. And seems they carried that on down the entire sleeve. You can have slight top gathers and not have a wide sleeve. Anyway. I like what you did. Im looking to make wide pants from a light weight material for summer because high desert is hot. Im going to now look for dresses to make pants! Keep on going! You are doing great!
this is gr8! i love seeing people upcycle their clothes and all the ingenuity that goes into it!
Both pieces turned out super cute!!!
I'm so glad I found your channel. I love your style and I needed some inspo for up cycling. I made my first pair of pants that I love (finally). So I'm a sewing beginner too.
These turned out amazing! Please do a lot more of these!
Yes to more videos like these! Really loved your end results!
Yay!! I’m so happy you enjoyed!!!
So fun to watch! I actually do sew but I found it so fun to just watch you troubleshoot as you went along, and omg these turned out soooo cute! Those PANTSSSS ❤❤❤
Any tips for me?!
@@TashaLeelyn Only more practice and experimentation! Try making pockets because it teaches you the basics of backwards thinking since that’s what a lot of sewing is. And maybe a bigger iron if you take on any larger projects haha 🥰🥰
Really enjoyed this how of video. You made both pieces look so good.
Great transformations! You have a lot of skill and a very good eye. Keep em coming!
OMG girl those are both so amazing! I absolutely love the pants I want that them!!❤❤❤
This was really cool! We usually do a lot quilting and handbags, but it's fun to see what you can do with some of those extra clothes just laying around :)
Very clever flips. The last one i would make the sleeves a bit shorter and add the part you cut off at the sleeves to the bottom seam of the jacket to make it even longer. Love those pants. Clever❤❤
Good for you! The colour of the pink robe looks amazing on you.
Love these! I’m going to make one of dresses into a robe this weekend, thanks for the inspo 😊
They both look SO good! You did a great job 👏🏻 🖤
Yes!! Do more they turned out soo good!!
So very smart to create wearable pieces Tasha!!!… please do more… you explain everything very clearly… Enjoyed the video a lot!!.. Bravo!!!😊
I’d loved to see more!!! It gives me inspo to try it myself as a fellow non-pro sewer
in love with the results!!
Love the upcycles, more, please!
love to watch you sew! gets me real inspired to find creative solutions for upcycling projects!
Very easy and transformative changes to your pieces that turned out great… more videos please I used to watch you a lot but haven’t in a while
Clever and creative. I love these kinds of videos!
I love the video and both pieces turned out beautifully, but for the robe you could have used bias tape to keep the original neckline top part as you would use the bias tape to hem instead of rolling the hem, regardless I absolutely loved how the robe looked at the end. Would love to see another video!!
Loooooove both of their new versions!!!
Wow! Love how both pieces came out. The pants look stunning! And the (former) dress is so much better as a robe! Totally your vibe. :)
I wish I had some of your skills!
I love this video idea! They turned out amazing!
These turned out phenomenal!! Those pants 😍
I love these types of videos! You're so crafty and creative and I think both projects turned out stunning!
They turned out so so cute!!
Love this video!! I just bought a dress with a gorgeous pattern, but was crazy about the fit. Definitely making pants!!
I need to change up alot of my clothes 😊
Love your upcycling looks ❤
I do my sewing the same way and pretty much my whole RUclips channel is just me figuring things out as I go 😂 love the pieces!
Awesome video, just love that housecoat and welcome to NS.
They look amazing!!! Awesome job 🎉
You did so good I love both pieces and I know you do too anytime you can do more I will watch ❤
These both turned out so great!
Okay these turned out sooooo cute! Please keep making these videos 🌼💗
Wow, you did a great job Tasha!
Thank you ❤️ it was not easy, but I feel I get better with the sewing machine everyday!
I like the sleeves on the dress! It looks so good as a robe! 💕🫶
Super cute on both pieces. The "robe" can be worn over what you are already wearing to out and about!
Omg! You did amazing! I LOVE both of the pieces SO much more!! Can’t wait to see you transform more!!😊😊
You did such a good job. These are gorgeous. 🥹
These were such upgrades, wow!!!!
Those pants turned out sooo cute!
Yes! Love this. Definitely want to see more, or even a whole series!
Yes! I loved this! You did a great job ❤
You did an awesome job, I really liked both of them! My sewing skills are like yours and like your thought process. I always think who is going to come up to me an exam my stitching…no one! 😁
Ive failed a lot too despite sewing over 60 years. Altering ready made clothing is harder than sewing from a pattern. Its like remodeling a house. Starting from the last thing done. Why I never replace zippers in jeans! I'll look at more of your channel. Oh I call the unfinished box of mistakes UFOs! Unfinished objects!
The robe is SO GOOD!
Fun video and loved it, also love your hot pink Tasha neon sign ❤
The pants look so good!!! Yes please make more of these ❤ I need to go through my closet now!
I love this! Both pieces turned out amazing and look so much better than before! You did such a good job! 😍
I loved this video!! PLEASE do more!!!
Omg they turned out amazing!! I just started trying to learn how to sew, so this definitely inspired me and I hope we get to see more. 💖
🎉 They turned out great! Can't wait to see what else you want to upcycle!
I loved this! Would love more videos like this!
Absolutely love it 😍 You say you’re not good at sewing but wow! I don’t even know how to thread the machine! 😅
On a different note, have you ever considered a Clothing Line? I’m not talking about “Merch”. I’m thinking of an actual clothing line like you just created! Pant, robe, etc! If you haven’t considered it… you should! ❤ Amy
Love love love!!! Would love to see more 🩷
This was such a great video! Good job💖💖
Love love love it! Now this makes me want to give it a try! ❤
So cute, I love upcycles.
