You remind me of a friend I had in middle school. I loved being her friend bc I was allowed to be my whimsical and spunky self without weird looks lol love this video🤍
Just a little seamstress tip for you if you like, for the next time you add eyelets. When you punch the hole, put a small piece of soft wood under the fabric, to absorb some of the sound and make the tool pierce the fabric better. By the way all your creations are awesome!💟
Girl, you are like the real life Mikako of Ai Yazawa's mangas. The style, the spunk, the relentless creativity, the positive attitude - and the looks! You've got it all. (And that tie is something that her character Arashi would totally wear.)
girlllllll fr I was expecting so much worse from the hurricane! Tiktok was scaring me into thinking us Californians didnt know how to prep for it BUT it was literally just rain lololol🩷
@@twinelleSame! People were like “PUT WATER IN YOUR BATHTUB SO YOU CAN FLUSH YOUR TOILET!” “CALIFORNIA ISN’T EQUIPPED FOR HURRICANES YOU’RE DOOMED 😈” and stuff, but thankfully it was more tame than we were expecting 😭😭
Very cute flips! Tips for future sewing: * if you replace sleeves you can use the original sleeves as a pattern * for puff sleeves there are a lot of tutorials how to make a puff sleeve pattern, works especially if you have the original sleeves as a pattern. Sleeves are one of the most difficult parts of sewing and you learn as you go. Have fun 😊
Yesss girlll literally my style! I showed my sister and she was like "ehhhh...it's so YOU!" lolol and thanks! Took me a week to finally test negative for covid but so happy to be healthy again and to finally breathe normally. Thanks for always watching💫💗🤗
For real, this is the most creative and interesting thrift flip/upcycle fashion video I've seen in AGES! Usually people who do thrift flip videos just make the tops cropped and the skirts into mini skirts and call that thrift flipping - those videos are so boring! But your ideas were all super creative and inventive. LOVE!!!
Hi, Annika! I love watching the video's you made! They give me such inspiration because your showed your mistakes and problem-solving; it makes me remember that it's okay if something doesn't come out perfectly. Sometimes, I get too worried that I will mess up to actually sew anything, so Thank you!
I don't know how you have the absolute TALENT to eat up every single thrift flip in this video but you certainly do!! i loved all the projects and am def inspired to go diy the shit out of my clothes rn!!
First time viewer. Y'all are cute as a button! I'm 59 and totally a maximalist. I think it used to weird my husband out but now he hears people compliment my style so he is on board. I think, for the shoulder issue, i would have run thread through along the top seem, from neckline to sleeve, then pull it to ruffle it up to where you want it to hit on the top of your shoulder, then tie it off. It's lovely and you make good calls. I enjoy hearing you talk it through. God bless!
If you want to make gathered puff sleeves, try keeping the short parts on the sides the size of your regular sleeve, but make the curvy bell part wider and taller. That way, you are adding more volume to the tops and sides of the sleeve instead of under your arm. ;) Love that you aren't too scared to cut into a garment if altering it would make you more likely to where it. Very historical mindset! And it shows the value you put into your clothes
Looks like the magazine the tie is from could be a volume of Gothic and Lolita Bible which usually has DIY projects in it if you want more inspirations and patterns
YK what I think you're right!!! I had to reference back to that tiktok and the magazine is called Kera Maniax - apparently it's a spin-off on the Gothic and Lolita Bible. It's for sure full of a ton more inspo so I might have to just check out both!
I knooowwwww! It's been a minute since I posted a sewing video but finally had some time to whip out the sewing machine! Thanks for watching and commenting🩷
YUUUUUSSSSSSS!!! Girllll and it was literally the easiest of the bunch! The fabric was scraps from previous projects but would totally invest in spikes and grommets💫
i like your creativity, and just to help i wanted to suggest a few things which i hope will be useful. When you were using the eyelet maker, it went through me, when i saw you using a hammer on a tiled floor! You could have damaged them. A chopping board would have added some protection. One the last item, when you turned up the hem on the sleeves, you produce what is called a, 'channel' , if you had done this slightly wider and left it open one end on the inside, you could have used a safety pin to thread elastic through, to thread ribbon through, turn the opposite way and leave the opening on the outside, and thread ribbon. Hope this helps. Wishing you all the best for future projects.
obsessed with these, i havent found any thrift flips doing this style ive been searching for yay!! FOLLOWED SO FAST also on ur unicorn dress u mentioned not liking the sleeve placements, an idea could be to rouge a mini "corset" lacing on the top of the shoulders with ribbon and tie lil bows on the top, and almost similar idea to use ribbon to do a mock corset tie on the back to sinch it in on ur sides and add a pretty bow on the back 💕
YUUUUUSSSSS! Those two are the easiest of the video for sure so totally do-able! Next time Im out thrifting, Imma pick up so many ties to transform them! Seems like there's always so many that are neglected at the thrift!
Don’t know how I missed this video when you put it out! You did such a great job-on all the flips!! So cute! Your tie flip gave me an idea for another project! I thought I would make a belt by taking 2 ties (2 of the same width ties, but different patterns!) and put grommets at the tips of both ties (Just like you did!). Then, using a jump ring on each tie, I thought I would join the two ties with a larger center ring between the two. The ties will come around my waist and tie in the back (Tying the thinner ends into a bow!). What do you think?
If you want an easier method for making that puff effect on sleeves or ruffles i recommend using the longest stitch length on your machine then pulling the bobbin thread (bottom thread) to gather it up
I have to let you know, because I recently had the same problem with making eyelets! ~~Use the regular hammer and not the rubber mallet~~ I know its way noisier 🥲 but the rubber one is designed to absorb some of the force so it isnt going to be as reliable for cutting the fabric and installing the eyelets. It was SO much easier when I switched tools!
The tie is soooo awesome 100% going to try!!!!! These are truely adorable even tho your situation is unfortunate at least your creativity isn't trapped!!
To bring in the waist on the dress, I'd add pink lacing ribbons criss-crossed in the back. Maybe sew fabric loops at the sides, made from leftover cutoffs from the shirt, to thread the laces through.
I had the idea of doing a bunch of sewing and crocheting when I had covid since I was stuck at home for a week and I got absolutely nothing done because I would get light headed after standing or sitting up for too long. I don't know how you managed! But you killed it! these are so creative and cute!! Hope you're feeling better!
loved this! for the unicorn dress you could try gathering the fabric along the top of each shoulder! it would pull the sleeves up higher on your shoulder and also add nice detail to the top of the shirt
To pull the shoulders up a bit on the dress so they're not a drop-shoulder style, I'd either run a gathering stitch down the seam to ruche it up, or I'd cut a tiny hole at either end of that seam to insert a ribbon lace. Just tie the lace into a bow as tight as you like to gather it a little or a lot, and then you have the bow detail as well! It would look very sweet with long dangly ends, maybe even with charms sewn to the ends of the ribbon.
this is awesome!! Im definitely trying the cutout idea, i get tired of my clothes but never want to throw them away i usually do a clothing swap since i get most of my clothes free anyway but this is such good inspiration for doing thrift flips and making my wardrobe fun without spending much more money!
Im watching this while hand gathering tulle and sewing it onto shorts I crocheted... safe to say this is jusy the diy energy I need while doing my own projects :D
I have a sewing machine because I specifically want to use it for thrift flips, but I have yet to use it for that. I’ve messed around with it but I suck at making my lines straight so it can be discouraging. Your video gave me so much inspiration to try and just have fun! Also your excitement for all your projects in the video was so adorable and very contagious! 😊
I love your upbeat energy anyways, but in these thriftlips it's on a whole other level! I love your flow to just go with it! Love to see the excitement! You are a jem ❤
Here's a little jewelry-making trick, but with any split ring piece to get them apart instead of pulling them apart with the needlenose pliers you should twist them. Push one side away from you and pull the other side towards you from the middle That way they go together back into their original position by just twisting them back again and you don't have to use the pliers to squeeze the ends together hoping they will match up. Just a little FYI
When opening the rings for jewelry use two pairs of pliers and kind of twist them one side to the front and one to the back rather then pulling them apart. It’ll be easier and less likely to distort. It’ll also make the ends meet back up better when you close it
I believe they wore flouncy skirts like that in the 80s like that on a daily basis. It wasnt only for prom you know. Prom had the fancy materials. But they had daily skirts + dresses with similar cuts. And I love the unicorn dress! Sometimes if a shirt is too wide for you, you need to narrow the shoulder width by cutting the fabric up there too. But then you have to be careful not to cut too much fabric!! If I like a pic on a Tshirt I will turn an XL into an XS! 😂😂😂 it takes a bit of practice too. But its not so hard. You get used to cutting on stuff. 😊 But I love the unicorn dress + the black top! 😊
Oooooo this is why I need to get a fashion history book!!! I feel like styles before 90s is super hard for me to differentiate or even point out. You know what, there's literally a library in dtla I should just make a day trip outta it! YUUUUSSSS gonna do that this week💗thanks for commenting! I needed that lil push. Initially, I wanted more of a loose fit so thought the t-shirt would be perfect for it BUT as a beginner it complicates things to switch up fits 😭 I am gonna take the skirt off tho to take in the sides for sure cause we need a lil bit of BOOODY and figure to come through. Hoping with the waist taken in it doesn't make the shoulders look even more slouchy and oversized....luckily I have a bust now so it makes the process a lil bit easier lol
@@twinelle well I grew up in the 80s so it is easy for me! 😄 and yes you have a 51 year old horse crazy equestrian watching your channel. But then I have a way better body now then I did back then - my mother + grandmother were feeding me ALL THE WRONG FOODS back then so I was fat! That one belt you wear when you pick clothes out for people + you hang the clothes from the belt - that is very 80s.. How it is hanging down. I believe drop waist was popular. And neon colors. Rubber bracelets. To see some of the popular styles why don't you watch the movies "Breakin' " and "Breakin 2 Electric Boogaloo"? You can see some of the everyday color styles in there. But people would wear leggings with matching colors. Gloves too. Of course I think different groups / parts of society had different styles. I also remember jelly shoes. I am still pretty much a beginner too. And sometimes I run into problems with different types of fabric too. Like some fabric has edges that just shreds like crazy. 😐 which I hate. Uggh. Just keep trying stuff. Its what I do. And its fun. And it can be relaxing. But not all projects go the way you think they will.. And that is ok. You can always resew it.
Oh dang. Didn’t know that! Okay, how should I open them without making them weaker? Yuuussss the only lighter I have is out so need to refill it before the fraying gets worse🫣
Ya know, its very heartwarming to see that you like what you make and it makes you happy. Personally, I really dont like any of the outfits you flipped, but they arent for me so it does not matter in the slightest ^u^ you keep doing you girl
I don't sew, but for the final dress flip I wonder if sewing a strip of elastic with a bit of tension to the shoulder seem would help to pull the sleeves up and maybe add to the puffed sleeve effect?
I actually decided to leave it as is! I just don't wanna ruin it BUT I cut off part of the pole so it's chilling on top of my armoire now lol it looks supa cuuute!🩷
The black t shirt looks so much cuter with the mesh sleeves. Every time I see that tie I only see that white bow. To me it distracts from the tie itself.
wow you did amazing!!! :o I tried filming a thrift flip video a month ago but I gave up because my back hurt sm from sewing and I was unhappy with how the projects came out... all that to say that I acknowledge how much work went into making this video! totally in awe of your talent
I love the style you have. I also like that you just move forward with the ideas. If I may be so bold as to make a suggestion, you may want to consider a mask when working with that E6000 glue (if you aren't). That stuff is toxic. Hope you are feeling better from COVID. For the unicorn shirt sleeves, have you considered synching them to bring them in?
I love the way the last piece fits! Honestly if it was fitted it would be cute too but I love the charm of the slightly oversized look on you! Amazing thrift flip!!!👏🏽🩷🩷🩷
The jump rings (you called them spring rings by mistake) should be opened by twisting them apart, not spreading them apart. That way it's much easier, you retain more strength in the ring, and it doesn't misshape the ring. A spring ring is like a keychain ring, in that it has a double loop and it doesn't spread or twist open at all.
hey David! I literally cannot even imagine how hot 116 is! That triple digit weather is WILD! Im super fortunate that LA has a low of 68 and high of 94 today. Hope you're keeping cool and hydrated!
Ayo I Shazam'd that cool sounding music at 21:37 and guess I was the first person to do so :O Looks like it's a smaller artist named gumpshroom, their stuff sounds great I'ma start listening 👌👌
I love how the star cut out turned out! Also at the reveal for the 2nd flip, was the shirt/blouse you're wearing also a flip?? I love it, it's a feminine twist on wearing an oversize men's button up shirt!
If you do the star insert again - sew the mesh onto the shirt and then cut the t-shirt from under it. You won't be fighting with the wide opening.
Yes! I came here to say this. It's called reverse applique, and it keeps the shape stable so it's a lot easier to manipulate.
Omg tyy
You remind me of a friend I had in middle school. I loved being her friend bc I was allowed to be my whimsical and spunky self without weird looks lol love this video🤍

making an item you never wear into your new favorite thing is the best feeling in the world!
can i be honest the black shirt was fire, sometimes i’m glad i can’t sew bc that ate by itself!
for the first flip, butterfly wings would also be an epic cutout shape bc I'm such a butterfly girly lately.
Thanks for the idea!
these turned out so FUN 😍

Only thing i can think of to cinch in the waist more is a corset styled back
I hope you feel better, get well soon
i like the red bow with the tie!💕
THE FLIPS WERE SO GOOD OMG
IM FEELING SO INSPIRED RN
Those embellished sneakers remind me of the same kinds of things that used to decorate ankle socks in the 80’s.
I love the style you have. I also like that you just move forward with the ideas. If I may be so bold as to make a suggestion, you may want to consider a mask when working with that E6000 glue (if you aren't). That stuff is toxic. Hope you are feeling better from COVID.
For the unicorn shirt sleeves, have you considered synching them to bring them in?
19:03 you should do them on the back, they are super cute!!!
I LOVE YOUR THRIFT FLIPS!!!
Yayyy the queen is back with another vid❤❤❤
Hi HIIIIIIIII! Thanks so much for being here girl💫
@@twinelle OMG😭🩷🩷 ilyyyy
If you haven't taken in the unicorn top more, you could add rings or eyelets to the back and make a corset/lace up feature!
You should lace up the back of the unicorn dress like a corset to take it in
each flip is CRAZY good like omg
i looove the tie i kinda wish i wore em so i could make smth as good
You should weave the red ribbon through the black piece
Put the bears on the back of the Nikes I think it’s an adorable detail!
I love the way the last piece fits! Honestly if it was fitted it would be cute too but I love the charm of the slightly oversized look on you! Amazing thrift flip!!!👏🏽🩷🩷🩷
The jump rings (you called them spring rings by mistake) should be opened by twisting them apart, not spreading them apart. That way it's much easier, you retain more strength in the ring, and it doesn't misshape the ring.
A spring ring is like a keychain ring, in that it has a double loop and it doesn't spread or twist open at all.
Oooh girl you could add a grommit corset back with ribbon to tighten the unicorn dress around your waist.
Best “beginner” I ever found on YT ❤
OKAY THE FIRST SHIRT IS MY FAVORITE WOW
Twinelle you are so so sooooooo inspiring for me and I really really can't wait to watch this video💫💗🤗
hi hiiii! Thanks for tuning in so early! Grabs some snacks cause esssss a long one!🩷
93 degrees in Phoenix this morning! Highs today 116
hey David! I literally cannot even imagine how hot 116 is! That triple digit weather is WILD! Im super fortunate that LA has a low of 68 and high of 94 today. Hope you're keeping cool and hydrated!
do you have a tutorial for the darker dress you are wearing in the video!
There is trim with with spaces to thread ribbon through it. I think it's called beading.
You're so creative and I love your personality! They turned out so great. I'm definitely subscribing 😍💗💖
with the last one, try adding another ribbon/ raber bend from the neck to the shoulder to pull it higher (the shoulders)
Ayo I Shazam'd that cool sounding music at 21:37 and guess I was the first person to do so :O Looks like it's a smaller artist named gumpshroom, their stuff sounds great I'ma start listening 👌👌
Yuuuuussss! They’re sound is super fun and upbeat. I have them linked in the description if you wanna give them a follow✨
Obsessed with everything that you made! Great job girl! You are incredibly talented. ❤
When embellishing ties like that, make sure the weight of the items added are balanced, otherwise the tie will hang crooked while wearing it.
omg watching this during my hurricane
I love how the star cut out turned out! Also at the reveal for the 2nd flip, was the shirt/blouse you're wearing also a flip?? I love it, it's a feminine twist on wearing an oversize men's button up shirt!
I think the fact some of it is asymmetrical gives it more personality as its handmade :)
Omg the shoes are actually reallyyyy cute
I be love to see the unicorn dress with a white crosse
Omg these thrift flips are so cute I love them
What type of stitch did you use to sew the star?
