    I love this!
    For me sewing with scraps or upcycling unloved garments is much easier than sewing with new fabric because if I fail it didn't cost any money and I learn so much every time. New fabric overwhelms me because I feel pressured to make something that is perfect.
    When I started sewing at the age of 13 I used scraps from my sister's sewing projects and old clothes and
    I just played with them. I recommend everyone to try that and to let their kids try that, too.

    This is a very nice scrap fabric combination project! The first one you made is kind of the same as the t-shirts I combined to make a shirt. i don't like the prints so I combined them by cutting a rectangle in the yellow shirt and I cut a black rectangle, sew it in the yellow shirt and added randomly placed yellow strips on top of the black rectangle. I hand-sewn it and I still wear it often for 4 years! Upcycling is really fun!

    I love your scrap busting videos (not that there was anything wrong with the pattern drafting ones!). A wee idea to build on top of the one with a large rectangle block in the middle: make it a patch and even have it fray/roll a bit on purpose. Could be a nice, grungy vibe :) That wave t-shirt is amazing! Many would probably go for dolmen sleeve to make their life easier, but not you :)

    • @ThoughtfulCreativity
      @ThoughtfulCreativity  Год назад +1

      he he :) oh yea, the patch would work if you have enough for a full front pattern piece, but in this case it works since you can use up small fabric scraps to "build out" the front pattern piece around that rectangle. I do patches/applique on my daughter's t-shirts a lot (mostly to cover stains, lol). Ah, you read my mind, I would go for a dolman sleeve for the wave one, but I did not have enough width of the black knit because I cut it out from the existing t-shirt with logos, and the t-shirt was my actual size, so I could not cut out the dolman sleeve, aggrgrgr :D

    @theresaanndiaz3179 Год назад +1

    I love the swoop tee the best, I think continuing it under the arm is very clever. The blush shows up well on the triple scrap tee. I would like it better if the bottom was black, the white is too much contrast for me, it draws my eye rather than blends. However, in the white tee with the square the pops of white in the pattern are what makes it so successful. I am very impressed and inspired by them all.
